** CANADA. 328 MCW kHz, April 1 at 0647 UT, dash and YTL, 1000-watt
NDB at Big Trout Lake ON; I was tuned to 329 and hearing only this
instead of usual PMV, 25 watts at Plattsmouth NE. Canadians in? One
other JBA now, of course:
346 MCW kHz, April 1 at 0649, YXL, 1000 watts at Sioux Lookout ON.
BTW, these two are 438 km = 272 stmi apart in almost the same direxion
from here, YTL being the further one closer to Hudson Bay, on the
shore of the lake called Big Trout Lake, which is 2034 km = 1264 stmi
from here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 1549.82 or .83, April 1 at 0700, still hearing that het
against 1550 stations, presumed XEREL Morelia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. Fixing typo in first frequency entry, not 29182+ of course:
28182+ 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
50.019 Mhz. now transmiting from new site, Cerro Gordo about 70 kms.
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``

** TURKEY. 9875.005+, April 1 at 2044, VOT on registered A25 frequency
instead of 9870 yesterday which evaded Korea North on 9875 - don`t
detect it today, but its s/off anyway is 2050. 2048 `First Quarter of
the Millennium` to 2057 then music. Sufficient into UTwente.
11785.002, next VOT English of 2200 is not off the air, not checked
until 2234 April 1, S9+5/10 into Maryland SDR, with feature voiced by
Efsun the axentuated. Considerably weaker than 11780 Brasil, S9+10/25
providing ACI, not even evitable by USB tuning. 2354 s/off as if it
were 1230 on 17620, the usual always awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. Some not-always-audible NDBs, besides the two from CANADA,
q.v.:
392 MCW kHz, April 1 at 0652, FMZ, 25 watts at `Beklof` Fairmont NE;

** U S A. 7780, April 1 at 0640, and 5010, April 1 at 0644, these
WRMIs are off again, while 5950 is ON with TOMBS // 5850. Something`s
odd at Okeechobee.
15770, April 1 at 0641, this WRMI is not only on, but surprisingly
strong in the nightmiddle, S9+10 in Spanish about Checa, so R. Praga
Internacional relay? No, Eslovaquia is sked every night at 0630-0700
on System H, with Prague in English at 0600-0630 Mon & Tue only (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1530 kHz, April 1 at 0618 UT, Spanish CCI to WCKY, ID as on
``104.9 y 95.1, La Que Manda``, so it`s KZNX Creedmoor TX; U7
10000/220. I previously discussed its complex two-transmitter-sites
near Austin. NRC AM Log gives only slogan as ``La Raza``. Of course we
cannot be certain one slogan have totally replaced the other. WTFDA
FMDB gets no hits when searching only on KZNX in the Relay of: field.
One must enter instead KZNX 1530, getting only KTXX-FM on 104.9 in Bee
Cave. To get K236AY on 95.1 in Westlake Hills one must search Relay
of: on KZNX-1530 with the hyphen! Needs to be a bit more forgiving of
such details or more consistent. In WTFDA it`s also only ``La Raza``.
On 1530 I was really checking for the unID bluegrass/country music I
had been hearing QRMing WCKY, but not tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1650 kHz, April 1 at 0701 UT, still hearing continuous tone
of about 311 Hz, presumably from KSVE El Paso TX (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 1670 kHz, April 1 at 0655 UT, ``Black Information Network``,
i.e. WMGE Dry Branch GA, address in Macon. No problem overcoming
Virtual DJ Radio LP relay in Enid which is JBA in daytime a couple
miles away (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
