** ALGERIA. 13855, March 4 at 2320, presumed Ifrikya FM, Ouargla,
S9/+10 talk direct but JBM, per EiBi at 1900-0100. 13640, Béchar,
March 5 at 2315, S9/+10 but JBM, // 13855 Ouargla S9/+10 but slightly
less JBM, i.e. more modulation. 13640 sked is 1900-0300. Weakest link
syndrome, JBM feed from studio? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ARGENTINA. 28466 USB, March 4 at 2317, Juan LU9HVR in Córdoba
province making quick contacts among quite a bit of activity on 10m.
QRZ.com with photos of self, equipment, 10m certificates: ``LU9HVR
Argentina flag Argentina, JUAN PABLO COSTANZO, SIMON BOLIVAR 500 Y PJE
PUBLICO, RIO CEBALLOS-CORDOBA 5111, Argentina`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** BRAZIL. 9818.55, March 5 at 0722, JBA carrier, no doubt R. Nove de
Julho on signature skewed frequency, which had been off for several
nights, as also reported by:
``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain: BRAZIL, 9818.6. After several days off
the air, Radio 9 de Julho, São Paulo is back on 9818.6. Heard right
now, 0645, 05-03, with its usual religious program. 25422.``
And Rudolf Grimm, SP, reported March 3: ``9818,9 kHz: Radio Nove de
Julho, São Paulo SP: Active, but not continuously in SW`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 15800, March 5 at 2318, S8/S9 JBA with Doppler flutter, no
doubt CNR1 jammer vs Sound of Hope, nothing else listed. 15610 ditto
at 2317. Certainly not WEWN, which reactivated carrier here briefly
but never resumed programming. M. Angelica`s ghost must prioritize
Spanish on 12050 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** IRAN. 1322.989-, March 4 at 2334, Qur`an catches my ear via
UTwente, as I am rechecking the IRRS/AM Italia frequency which carries
WOR at 2100 Tuesdays, today with some CCI under. Per mwlist this is
surely the 50 kW IRIB external service in Azeri, 50 kW from Jolfa,
which is normally off the air 2020-0120, but this is Ramadan, so now
it`s all-night as in WRTH showing for // 7230 during March, and which
is also audible with same on 7230.006+. There is a variety of music,
soft talk, and the very pleasant soft VIRI interval signal,
periodically such as at 0009, 0017 March 5. At latter time, also some
pulsing QRM, surely not jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 1390, March 5 at 0747 UT, dead air at S9+65 from my
nearest local KCRC Enid, instead of stupid sports talk; same of course
on its sibling, 1640 KZLS, S9+45. Both finally enliven at 0800.
Nothing else can be heard under 1390 without nulling, inconvenient at
this late hour, but else is on 1640, heard 914 area code, but must
have been on a network as that`s Westchester County north of NYC, no
1640 stations (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 95.7, March 5 at 2035 UT, dead air from KXLS ``Lahoma`` =
Enid market, but remodulating at 2042 check; the same cluster
providing DA on 1390/1640 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 95.1, March 5 at 2040, undermodulated $ tereo country
music from Part 15 in downtown Enid, normally dead air, and resumes
that by next check 2118 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** PUERTO RICO. 391 MCW kHz, March 5 at 0732 UT, DDP, ND beacon heard
for first time since Dec 27 altho there was a carrier on Jan 11. I
check for it every night in bandscan. Can`t hear it tuned to 391 USB
due to somethings on 392, 395, but clearly with 391 LSB. This time
there is nothing audible further north than perennial 293 FBY
FairBurY, Nebraska. RNA Signals List says 2000 watts at San Juan /
DoraDo / Luis Muñoz Marín Intl. Still haven`t been able to hear any
others in Caribbean, Latin America if even active (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Mar 5 at 2300, token English from SNR, S9+30/40
direct, preview feature about an International Art Fair featuring S
America; 2301 news leads with *rump getting a letter from Zelenskyy;
tariffs against Mexico and Canada kick in, retaliation promised. Still
NO 12030; 17715 S8/S9, 17755 JBA. Sorry, I`d rather SEE art than HEAR
about it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.004-, March 4 at 2315, JBA carrier direct
the so-called N American service in English of VOT, but after 2335
when measured via UTwente, S9+30/40; mostly music until s/off 2354
awry as if it`s the 1330 broadcast, IS chopped erroneously after only
6 notes before 2355* uncovering China music.
5960.003-, March 5 at 2259, VOT English JBA direct; 2330 into UTwente
when measured, S9+20/30 with music, 2335 ``with-you-every-hour``
promo, music; 2340 ``always-by-your-side`` promo - or was it the other
way around? and more music. By 2359 it`s East Turkistan only on
5960.003+; standard genocidal denunciations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2284 monitoring: ``from Richard
Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening
Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF (30 years of service), Antenna: random
long wires in the trees, WRMI, USA, World of Radio #2284, 9395 kHz,
QRN, 0030, 0045, 0057 (4-55433), 0059, March 5 UTC 2025 [Wed] (Lemke,
Richard -AB)``
Confirmed UT Wednesday March 5 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+30/35 into
Georgia SDR. From next week; Tuesday 2330.
Also confirmed Wednesday March 5 at 2030 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.003, S9+5/15 into UTwente.
Also confirmed Wednesday March 5 at 2200 on WBCQ 7490 -76 Hz =
7489.924, S9+15/20 into NH SDR. Preceded by TOMBS // but not synch to
9930 WTWW. 7490 concluding 2159 with failed attempt to sing; what
became of the `Pirate Joe Extravaganzo` just before WOR and still on
the sked?? TOMBS is on there until 2100. Of course all WBCQ times
shift one real UT hour earlier from next week due to imposition of
Daylight Shifting Time, funxioning like a domestic rather than
planetary station; time is not and *cannot* be ``Saved`` by fiddling
with clox. Next:
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160.

** U S A. 9955, Wed March 5 at 1624, JBA S5/S6 presumably WRMI. Its
transmitter grid shows WRMI-3 until 1600* except Saturday TOMBS -1700.
System B program grid shows until 1630 daily with something from WRN
before going to internet only until 2200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9455, Wed March 5 at 2321, WRMI S9+40/50 with John spelling
out slowly at least thrice his VORW email address, then a music
request from Windsor, Ont. WRMI skedgrid shows VORW on 7570 at this
time, not 9455. Yet another contradixion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 810 kHz, March 5 at 0740-0743+ UT, dead air at S9+45, surely
WHB Kansas City failing to talk sports. Checking of course for the
mystery 810.6v carrier, none now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1150 kHz, March 5 at 0745 UT, S9+30 of dead air, surely my
dominant KSAL, Salina KS, normally `C2CAM`. `Tis the season for solar
transit outages on satellite feeds, but not in the nightmiddle! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
U S A. 1680 kHz, March 5 at 0751 UT, deliberate talk in very strange
language, like fraxured French? Heard Québec mentioned. Could be
Haitian Kriyol. Yes! mwlist, but not NRC AM Log, shows WOKB Winter
Garden FL is ``also in Creole``. Is atop closer KRJO Monroe LA, which
regains at 0800 for ID as ``Real Country 99.7``, altho mwlist and NRC
AM Log show KRJO as ``99.7 The Legend``. No WOKB ID heard around
hourtop, still going in FF past 0805+. Unlike so many stations, WOKB
has a detailed day-by-day, hour-by-hour program schedule,
https://wokbradio.com/the-line-up
including: ``WEDNESDAY Echo Evangelique Hosted by Pastor Sanel Petit'
Frera 12:00AM - 5:00AM The best inspirational Creole programing;
music, ministry, special guest and more.`` This is the only Creole
block during the entire 24/7 week -- lucky me! Winter Garden is in
central, not south Florida. Motto: YOUR URBAN EMPOWERMENT AND
INSPIRATION STATION (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17525, March 5 at 1623, JBA S5/S4 music and talk; could
it be WMLK in the morning instead of afternoon? No, it`s now on 15150,
ID in passing, only S7/9+20 in degraded propagation. Aoki lax any WMLK
entries! EiBi has 15150 & 9275 only. Has WMLK deliberately stopped
17525? It`s in HFCC for B24 thru March 30, 2025; and nothing else
listed on 17525 except KSDA at 00-01. So what`s this? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
