** CANADA. Official SWL Channel of Gilles Letourneau, Québec, often
activates on Saturday afternoon. I check him from time to time, but
there is too much going on Saturday afternoons for me to follow one
thing for 5+ hours, starting circa 2000 UT:
https://www.youtube.com/live/RRzaF4LPGlE
I happen to retune about 0110 UT March 9, and there he is ``dancing``
or rather ``handing`` or gesturing to ``Midnight in Moscow`` music.
The whole shebang apparently shows him seated by his radios, chatting
with participants, some of the 50K followers he has accumulated. That
was apparently the final performance this week as the feed froze by
0112 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GERMANY. 9670, Saturday March 8 at 1800, `From the Isle of Music`
via Channel 292, VG into UTwente, delayed almost a minute behind 3955,
but much better VG signal on 9670 until fading down last new minutes
before 1900. Inconvenient scheduling, since it collides with `Talking
Machine Show` on WWCR 12160, and Metropolitan Opera. I had to miss the
first hour of `La Bohème`. Same situation next week for his other
monthly, `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot`, unless I can manage to catch its
first and only other airing, Friday at 2200 on 3955 only, as UB will
not availablize his shows ondemand online, in support of the shortwave
medium (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6960 AM, UT Sat March 8 at 0237, JBA music, no doubt
Ball Smacker Radio on its reliable Friday-evening frequency and time;
more reports here:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6849.9 AM, Sat Mar 8 at 0238, disco beat music JBA.
More reports here as Liquid Radio on 6850, but none later than 0232:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17715, Fri March 7 at 2222, another frequency missing from
REE, the one for SAm which is second-best for us in the also continued
absence of 12030 for ME. Still on 17755 for Af, VG S9+30 9690 for NAm.
2300 token English previews topic about a feminist leader for
International Women`s Day. All checked direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9610, March 7 at 2315 direct, algo weak can`t tell if VOT
English, and nothing on 5960. At 2332 into UTwente, only Chinese on
5960, only Mongolian on 9610. VOT a total loss; but this saves them
from another error, German after 2400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.003+, Sat Mar 8 at 2300, VOT English not off
the air; something`s not erroneous at Emirler, S9+25/40 into UTwente
and not even tried direct. Some hum, and somewhat
overmodulatedistorted. News already over at 2311 music. 2317
``always-by-your-side`` promo, music. 2320 talk about Feb 2023
earthquaxe, pipeline from Azerbaijan, Georgia. Not sure of title, but
sounds familiar. 2226 music. 2330 TRTVOTVorld promo. By now there is
CCCCCCI which does not make it easier to understand Efsun the
axentuated who is back! talking about something, 2243 outro title was
`Dream Destinations`, I have to check Roe`s sked to find; music. 2347
``always-by-your-side`` promo again, repeat feature about famous cats
from the White House to Hermitage to Key West. 2351 music. 2353
``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2354 s/off as if it`s the 1330 on
13635, awry. 2355 first notes of IS about one sesquitime, and chop
off* uncovering ChiComusic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2285 monitoring: confirmed Friday

** U S A. 9930, March 7 at 2229, no signal from WTWW-1 with TOMBS, nor
at morning check today. 9475 still missing from WTWW-2 so totally off.
Probably not on subsequent night frequencies either, 5920 & 5085.
However, 9930 found on with TOMBS at 0044, but gone again at 0120, nor
on 5920; but 5920 is on at 0305 & 0357 chex, not 5085 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, UT Sat Mar 8 at 0043 into NH
SDR: 7490 -77 Hz = 7489.23, S9+15 of FKB; 9330.00, S7/S9 of WLCR in
Portuguese; 6160, 5130 & 3265 all OFF. At *0055, 5130 -25 Hz =
5129.975 with The Planet ID & IS loop. 6160 -68 Hz = 6159.932 now on
at S9+10 with some music. At 0100, only 5130 & 7490 join for `AAAWWW`
this week, not 9330, not announced as originally aired last week, but
it is obvious rerun as talkover during theme includes ``Either or not,
we`re coming thru ... billions & billions of radio receivers out
there...`` and quick interjexion at end sounds like ``Fab-u-4``, segué
to ``Turn Your Radio On`` hymn; tuneout (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. WRMI sked grid is now ``as of March 9, 2025`` per the
header, but each individual System program grid is *still* dated as
``effective March 10, 2024``!!! Altho each has doubtless been changed
numerous times in the past year, and we still spot some of the same
old errors concerning WOR and other programs, never 100% matching
reality of what really airs:

** U S A. 17509 JBA, 17513, 17517, 17521; 17529, 17533, 17537, JBA on
17541, slightly unstable spur carriers at 4x kHz intervals above and
below 17525, obviously emanating from that S9+30 WMLK, March 7 at
2221.
At 0158 March 8: ``More fun from WMLK? I'm seeing a really strong
carrier, no audio, on 17525 during the past 30 minutes (the 0100 UT
hour). Only noting this due to some recent mentions of them on 17525.
I see it on several SDRs I've checked as well. Did someone lock up for
the night and forget to turn out the lights? Tony Pavick, Hope BC
Canada`` -- In a hurry for Sabbath? Could not go back to do ``work``
after sunset just to turn it off? Yahweh`ll get `em for that?
Apparently it did get turned off eventually. Hmmm, does automation
count as illegal ``work`` since set up by believers? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. 880, Sat Mar 8 at 0806 UT, KRVN, Lexington NE starting `Our
American Stories`, usual dominant signal here. From next week: 0706
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7636.0, March 8 at 0713, open carrier at S9+ plus clix
once per second. Same as logged March 4. No other significant hits in
archive to explain it. Also had 9236 on Feb 26, but this time
instead:
Also 9126.0 at 0716 March 8, S2/S3 carrier but only occasional random
clix. Searching my archive on 9126 gets this hit, maybe coincidental,

UNIDENTIFIED. 21480-21490, March 7 at 2219, DRMish noise direct.
Nothing of any ilk listed on 21485 per HFCC, Aoki, EiBi, drmrx.
Suspect could be another China DRM, but sounds not quite normal with
some pulsing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
