** CANADA. 328 MCW kHz, March 7 at 0719 UT, dash and YTL, Big Trout
Lake ON. Hadn`t heard this one in a long time.
346 MCW kHz, March 7 at 0725 UT, dash and YXL, Sioux Lookout ON. Also
many more from USA, q.v., and UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15230, March 7 at 1605, RHC S7 but JBM, still on but usually
off by 1600. SAWA = something`s always wrong at - (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** MEXICO. 800, March 7 at 0712 UT, heavy distorted mess from XEERG vs
KQCV OKC, still unfixed. I wonder if CKLW and PJB listeners also have
a problelm with it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SCOTLAND [non]. I was complaining about music being hard to find on
SW vs talk formats. But unlike some stations with only one or three
transmitters, there are plenty of music blox on one WRMI or another,
altho only one classical: `Encore`. Turned on my BSR1 caradio, Friday
March 7 around 2030 and there it was, already tuned to 15770. Fair
signal but never a blaster here since it`s aimed NE. Too bad not a
single WRMI in daytime be aimed across N America, and should be on 13
MHz or higher. I had already heard this new biweekly episode at first
airing, UT Fri Mar 7 at 0200 on 5850. Other WRMI times: UT Sun 0100 on
5850, UT Mon 0300 on 5950, Tue 1300 on 15770. 5950 is subject to DST
shifts unlike the others, so should already be at 0200 UT Monday
when the System L sked shows it should also be on 7730 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. LW bandscan March 7 at 0713-0739 UT, local noise level
abated a bit allows IDs from these MCW ND beacons to be heard, but
many more JBA carriers only, see UNIDENTIFIED. Also two from CANADA,
q.v.
245, FS, Sioux FallS SD;
255, SW, StillWater OK;
293, UI, qUIncy IL mixing/alting with FBY, FairBurY NE. Unusually UI
is about equal level to FBY;
326, MA, MidlAnd TX;
329, PMV, PlattsMouth NE;
335, BV, BatesVille AR;
344, JL, JopLin MO, but copied tuned to 342 USB;

356, ODX, Ord NE;
379, RU, RUsselville AR, supposed to be RUE, but no E;
395, CA, Newton/Harvs KS, but copied better at 393 USB;
400, AHQ, wAHoo NE;
420, PK, Olathe/Herbb KS
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. As if in reply to my observation that I`ve heard no
trace of any CW beacons on the ISM band for months, are any active?
These logs in CIDX Messenger:
``13566.50 kHz CW; 1519 UT Feb. 26. KE4TWI. HiFER (High Frequency
Experimental Radio) CW beacon in Lebanon, TN. Weak. These
transmissions occur within the ISM band
(Industrial/Scientific/Medical) where unlicensed experimental
operation is allowed, but with very low power levels (mW range). In
hobbyist lingo this is the "22m HiFER" band, which is 13553 to 13567
kHz (Hudak-ON)
13566.55 kHz CW; 1456 UT Feb. 22. RVA. HiFER CW beacon. Richmond, VA.
Weak to fair (Hudak-ON)
13566.75 kHz CW; 0523 UT Feb. 26. AMA. HiFER CW beacon located in
Hamilton, ON, which is close to me. Reception via ground wave. Weak to
fair with chirp on the signal (Hudak-ON)`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** U S A. 17517 & 17533, March 6 at 2031, JBA matching spurs +/- 8 kHz
from WMLK 17525, which is S9+25 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 830, March 7 at 0707 UT, WCCO with `The Other Side of
Midnight` talk show host against DST, gives a phone number starting
with 720, so I wonder if it originate at WGN? He is // WGN 720 but
about 8 words behind WCCO. So he`s on WCCO before WGN. Search leads to
Frank Morano also on WABC ``live and local`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. LW bandscan, full of tantalizing JBA carriers of ND
beacons, March 7 at 0713-0739 UT. If only my local noise level could
be lessened! The ones with audible IDs are separate under USA, CANADA,
q.v.
227, 233, 251, 260, 267, 272, 284, 299, 309, 314, 316, 334, 338, 341,
344, 365=two mixing, 371, 382, 385, 388, 391, 397, 404, 407, 410, 412,
417.6?? maybe a birdie but all the others are on exact 1.0-kHz
spacing. One may consult these for likelies:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 810.57, March 7 at 0710 UT, JBA mystery carrier hetting
810.00 WHB. I`ve DFed it more than once as roughly 100/280 degrees
from Enid. Now we need others to get a bearing from other angles to
triangulate it. This can be done on a hand-held portable with built-in
ferrite rod antenna, preferably with BFO, not with otherwise superior
fancy fixed antennas which have such a disadvantage (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
