** CHINA. 9200, March 7 at 1413, Chinese fair signal, i.e. CNR1 jammer
against Sound of Hope; no others audible among several other low-9-MHz
possible frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15700, March 7 at 1403, S9+40 of dead air on CRI Plus relay;
did not get around to rechecking before 1600 whether modulation ever
came up. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. BTW in A-20 this
transmission redescends to 11880 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15230, March 7 at 1405, RHC reactivated from absence
yesterday, // distorted 15140. 1552 recheck, 15230 is dead air, 15140
is off, 11760 is on, and 11700 is also off, the latter running
yesterday morning by error. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, March 7 at 1651, this RHC is off, despite supposed to
run continuously 1200-2130 per Aoki; EiBi shows a 15-16 break, and
also a strange 5-minute French broadcast Sunday at 2110. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13635, 13570, 13766, 13832 approx., March 7 at 1607, RHC
succeeds in spurblobbing from 13700 transmitter, at 65-66 kHz
intervals plus and minus, the first order pair stronger; readable in
FM and AM, with F# tone, not in SSB. I had really been missing these:
none logged since February 16, quite a spell, almost two sesquiweeks!
Something`s always wrong at RHC. Are these more likely on weekends?
Last batch were Fri-Sat-Sun, Feb 14-15-16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GUINEA. 9650, March 7 at 0347, hilife music with no break at
hourtop, past 0412 at S9-S5, no announcements, still at 0450 tho
weaker. Surely it`s RTG which is nominally on air 06-24 only, and
nothing else normally here before North Korea at 0700. So why are they
running all-night? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 6185.7, March 7 at 0342, XEPPM about here, not remeasured
precisely, and seems to be wobbling, or caused by local QRM. 6185.755, measured March 7 at 0452, dead air; still propagating at
1512 when I measure it on 6185.792, maybe JBM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 7480, March 7 at 0352, Station YHWH is VP, JBA,
S7-S9 undermodulated vs S5 noise level on vacant 7475. 7470 has a JBA
carrier, thus QRM from Deewa Radio, Germany, he avoids. I did make out
one mention of ``Yahweh``. Ron Howard was also hearing this with
difficulty at 0324-0405+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2024 monitoring: I awaken at 1334 Saturday
March 7 to hear JBA beepery on 15770 WRMI, i.e. SW Radiogram, so
likely also on air before 1330 with WOR, unlike last week. Also confirmed Sat Mar 7 at 1700 on all three WRN webcasts. Will the
NAm service have shifted to 1600 by next week, or wait till the others
do in April? Next: 2030vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Re VORW time changes on WRMI: Altho I did not get the
complete context of his announcement, I now suspect he was saying that
VORW times would be one hour later on 5850 et al., once DST has
started, i.e. by local clox, since they stay at same UT --- e.g., 0100
UT will become 9 pm EDT instead of 8 pm EST. We do not need all this
confusion caused by twice-yearly shifting! In the SW context, the
standard must be UT, which is *real, unchanging* time (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5830, March 7 at 0347, WTWW-1 is on again with VG signal,
SFAW sounds like live call-in, but mentions current date in passing as
26 March, so at least a year old, probably many more. 5085 WTWW-2 is
however AWOL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1729 UT March 7
