** BRAZIL. 6180-, April 1 at 0147, too weak and off-frequency, so to
11780 for much-publicized new English & Spanish segments from RNA.
S8+5/25 direct with deep fading. It`s already in Spanish, apparently a
saludos call from someone about the Spanish about to start. Brazuguese
DJ replies and says good-night. 0148 YL ID in English, interview with
someone in Pará in November, about the culture of Pará and Amazonia.
Voice-over translation, with PP QRM in the background! Please, SW
reception is hard enough without self-QRM. We`ll trust you to be
translating accurately! Besides, even a native could not follow the
underspeech, just loud enough to be annoying. 0153 ID as Radio
Nacional Brasil International Service, Portuguese ID, Spanish,
apparently same topic, voice-over this time in Spanish with Brazilian
accent. 0157 pause for a few words of unobstructed Brazuguese, and
wrapup. 0157 Portuguese ID as RNB Serviço Internacional, and RNA on
6180, 11780, website, 980. 0158 R Nacional jingle and other music
until 0200 some other PP program. Well, we`re glad they are making the
effort to speak a bit of our language, but hope it improves (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 28171 CW, March 31 at 2205, beacon XE1FAS/B is JBA with
fades, preceded by 4 dashes. It`s missing from WGB, today`s update at
https://listof10mbeacon.blogspot.com/2023/06/worldwide-list-of-10-meter-beacon.html
How about the older WI5V list? That website is now intercepted as
unsafe. I know I`ve heard this one before, in 2022, 2023 and 2024, as
on Feb 28 last year, q.v.: he`s in Puebla with lots of info still at
https://www.qrz.com/db/XE1FAS
29182+ CW, March 31 at 2207, beacon, dash and VVV XE1RCS/B. This one
also missing from WGB list! But QRZ.com: ``XE1RCS Mexico flag Mexico,
Radio Club Satélite A.C., Apartado Postal 341-A, Ciudad Satélite,
Naucalpan, Edo Mex 53100, Mexico`` and: ``XE1RCS beacons on 28.182 and

northeast from Mexico City. This new site, Cerro Gordo is about 3100
mts. above sea level, near Teotihuacan piramids. The site is owned by
Radio Club Satelite. XE1RCS/B on 28.182 Mhz. has an AR-10 antenna with
8 watts, and on 50.019 has an AR-6 with 50 watts. All the antennas are
mounted in a 40 mts. tower with surge protection and battery
backup.``
28276 CW, March 31 at 2214, dash and XE1JAL/B. This one is on the WGB
list: ``28276.0 XE1JAL/B - Xalapa Veracruz MEX EK19mm - #0/1 (26 Mar

** SPAIN. 15500, March 31 at 2159, NO signal on NF to N America from
SNR for first M/W/F token English broadcast of season. Like I said
yesterday, looking forward to 15520 as backup altho off the back
toward ME, and that one is S7/S9; but 17715 to S America is even
better, S9+20. And 15390 for Africa is also AWOL! Something`s always
notright at Noblejas. Opens with different music and A25 general
frequency schedule with no details of language times, not even
English! 2202 s/on English, preview later content I can`t copy; 2203
news leading with mining accident in Asturias killing at least 5
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, March 31 at 2158, VOT not off the air, S8/S9 but JBA
vs my local noise level, IS and English IDs, so I go over to SPAIN
instead as these two insist on colliding timewise. At 2238, 11785.006
is S9+20/30 into Georgia SDR, so not needing to check it at UTwente.
Uncomfortably close to 11780 Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 28243 CW, March 31 at 2209, VVV DE AA1SU/B and EEEEEE --
Unlike the Mexicans, this one does appear in the WGB list: ``28243.0

THE KA3JOE BEACON !! Thanks for tuning in! The KA3JOE beacon operates
continuously on a frequency of 28.248.7 Mhz, at a power level of 5
watts.The transmitter is an HTX-10 fed into a half wave vertical at a
height of 10 meters. I would perfer a good, old fashioned, tree
killing, non-electronic QSL, SASE to my QRZ address, but I will also
respond with an email promptly. It's more fun to receive QSL Cards in
the regular mail. I have been interested in radio since I was 12 years
old. Like many, I started out on CB radio but got bored of that scene
quickly. I then discovered cars, girls, work, etc. and got
side-tracked. Finally, getting licensed at the age of 36 I rekindled
my interest in radio and have been playing with it ever since. Thanks
again for tuning in to the KA3JOE 10 METER BEACON @ 28.248.7 MHZ
Please QSL, SASE to my QRZ address. Thank You & 73 Joe``
I`m afraid I had it on the plus side of 28249 like in WGB list, not on
the minus side as in his QRZ.com page (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, April 1 at 0104, and still 0111, this WRMI is dead
air. All others are modulating some somewhat underish: 5010, 5050,

one human be overhearing them, even remotedly, you`d think there would
be silence-sensors to warn immediately of such a breakdown. WRMI-10 is
supposed to be on System H at 0100-0130 daily with R. Taiwán
