Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe
** ITALY [and non]. 7399.906, March 9 at 1624, tune in UTwente just in
time for publicized monthly broadcast of Marconi Radio International
on ``7400`` until 1630 --- S8/S9 with Italian? talk vs much stronger
ACI from 7404.984 with ``shortwave`` jingle, Dutch? presumably R.
Piepzender as both these are the only stations anywhere, anywhen on
7395 & 7400. 7399.906 still going ast 1635 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 1549.82, March 9 at 0730, besides 1 kHz tones from unknown
US station, the JBA carrier hetting also detectable, maybe partway to
1549.81, presumed XEREL Morelia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 11934.893, March 9 at 1945, huge buzz atop Arabic
from Rep. of Yemen Radio via Riyadh, S9+20/30 into UTwente. Presumably
transmitter fault rather than jamming. Had been clear of this for
several weeks. Tnx tip from Tony Rogers and David Morris, bdxc (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2285 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday March 9 from 0511 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+15/20 with some
storm crashes into nearby SDR; very late after nominal 0415 as Houston
AMSAT started an hour late at 0400, after TWIAR, and before ARRL News.
From next week: WOR nominal 0315. Next:

** U S A. 7505, March 9 at 0654 UT, WRNO on late again unpredictably,
S9+25 with song, presumably hymn (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. MW bandscan during the Hour of Confusion, March 9
after 0700 UT, hits several frequencies with 1 kHz tones, no doubt
from unattended and failed satellite feeds; exacerbated due to the
imposition of DST. These are not hets since the pitch peaks the same
on LSB and USB.
680, March 9 at 0714-0718+ UT, tone on for 30 seconds, off for 20
seconds, over and over. No announcement between, and not CJOB which is
continuously audible mixing with Manitoba mentions, intruding as usual
into American Airspace. Most likely my regular KFEQ, St Joseph MO, or
possibly KKYX San Antonio TX.
870, March 9 at 0719 UT, no doubt WWL New Orleans, 1 kHz tones
alternating with announcement, ``Westwood One, SES? something,
transponder 17, call 720-873-5177 between 8 am and 10 pm Eastern
time`` - that is not heard on most of the others but possibly only due
to QRM while the tones are clearly audible. AC 720 is Denver CO
overlaying 303, uplink location?
1100, March 9 at 0721 UT, S9+30 of dead air, no doubt WTAM. It`s
normally // but not synch with 1110 KFAB which is nominal now, and by
0727 WTAM modulation matches KFAB. No tones heard here.
1300, March 9 at 0722 UT, 1 kHz tone and unreadable announcement,
probably like on WWL. Too many possibilities, from KAKC Tulsa to
Nebraska, Texans, etc.
1380, March 9 at 0723 UT, 1 kHz tone on and off. Which?
1470, March 9 at 0725 UT, 1 kHz tone on and off. Which?
1550, March 9 at 0726 UT, 1 kHz tone on and off. Which?
Meanwhile I scan up and down the band a few more times in case I
missed some more tonals during pauses (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
