** ASCENSION. 12050, March 4 at 0744, Afro music, S6/S7, the SSOB from
R. Ndarason Int`l this hour targeting Chad (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 15034 USB, March 4 at 1550 UT, ``Trenton Military, Trenton
Military, time: 1450 [sic] zulu`` and ``no report received`` from the
AB/MB cities/airports. Standard derision (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [non]. 891 & 889, March 4 at 0726, no 1 kHz spurs heard now
nor for quite some time. This must be why: ``The transmitter from 890
may have moved. I just got back from Florida and 890 R.Progreso was
nonexistent. Rick Kenneally, Wilton, CT``, March 4, IRCA iog. CMDZ in
Chambas was rated 200 kW per WRTH 2025 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15230, March 4 at 1551, RHC S5/S7 and just barely modulated,
rather than totally dead air. Regular here pointlessly before 1600;
never a show on 15140 now or later. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MARTINIQUE [and non]. 4811.10 AM, March 4 at 0729, clean AM open
carrier only, instead of the usual STANAG 4285 wideband noise from
FUF, Fort-de-France, which Klingenfuß 2022 listed on 4811.8. Default
to this? Normally blox Perú 4810, but not even a carrier from that
heard for some time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO [and non]. 800, March 4 at 0750 UT, very heavy distortion
still blocking KQCV OKC, i.e. XEERG, NL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Re my WMLK 9275 log, Mike Barraclough, UKOGBANI replies:
``WMLK would have been playing My Country `Tis of Thee, the United
States first national anthem, think it was adopted unofficially,
before Star Stangled Banner, see lyrics, including from every
mountainside, here. Was written to more or less the same tune as God
Save the Queen.
https://mistressofmusic.wordpress.com/2014/02/11/my-country-tis-of-thee-vs-god-save-the-queen-did-we-rip-off-the-uk/
As a long time Neil Young fan I bought his 2012 Americana album,
covers of well known folk songs. His version of God Save the Queen has
a rarely sung verse; there have been many versions during the years
and ends with the 16 strong Americana choir singing the verse from My
Country `Tis of Thee with From Every Mountainside in it. Video here
with appropriate footage for both. I didn't know of My Country Tis of
Thee before I bought the album.

In his notes on the album Neil says how he remembers singing God Save
the Queen regularly at school in Canada. Mike``
Axually I knew about the US/UK duplitune, but was hoping to prompt an
interesting reply such as this; tnx, Mike! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1530 kHz, March 4 at 0757 UT, Spanish ID for 104.9, which as
I explained Feb 18, q.v., is either KXTD Wagoner OK or more likely
KZNX Creedmoor TX (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, March 4 0732, R. Vanuatu talk is S7/S8, even into my
indoor-longwire, strung around the ceilings of two rooms, as
necessitated by thunderstorms nearby - but far enough from tornado
strixe (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7636.0, March 4 at 0735, open carrier except for clix at
rate of one per second, like a timesignal, but no minute-markers, the
clix can be detected out to 7621/7647 approx. Same thing as recently
heard around 9236, Feb 26 at 0737, q.v. What are these? Nothing like
this on either frequency in Klingenfuß 2022 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17665, March 4 at 1549, S5/S7 open carrier and quickly
off*. Probably a test/warmup frequency, such as USAGM prior to some
1600 broadcast on another nearby frequency, which might interfere with
another station/site before 1600, like Grimesland, e.g. Portuguese
from 1700 on 17655 or French from 1900 on 17700. USAGM has a roster of
authorized test frequencies, and wish I could see the current list.
This one is a good choice for that, as absolutely nothing is scheduled
on 17665 anywhen in B24 per HFCC, EiBi and Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
