Hauser
** AUSTRALIA. 11865, March 19 at 1325, S Asian song, 1330 RBA signing
off until 1230 tomorrow. Per EiBi, the last quarter hour on Thursday
would have been in Bengali (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 9215, March 19 at 1351, Asian language unseems Chinese, not
like CNR1 or Sound of Hope, but those are the only listees (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11462, March 19 at 0513, 5-digit spy numbers in Spanish and
digibursts, S9-S7; absolutely nothing audible broadcasting on 11 MHz
band, at least on my indoor longwire. EiBi shows schedule on this
frequency is Tu/Th/Sa 0454-0520 & 0854-0920 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 6125, March 20 at 0358, Radio Martí above
wall-of-noise jamming plugging USG policy on immigration; 0359 QSY
announcement, pronto en 5980, 6030 y 7435. What? 5980 does not start
until 0600, and it better not now! adjacent WRMI NHK on 5985. 6030 is
buried in jamming, really on 7355 instead of 5980, and also 7435, both
VG with midnight music hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) see TURKEY

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9705, March 19 at 1345, Japanese talk, VP. It`s
Furusato no Kaze via TAIWAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO [and non]. Wolfgang Büschel reports: ``They have fixed the
recent faulty transmitter in Mexico City D.F. now at 0210 UT on March
20 fine sound, heard canciones in Spanish language. 6184.992 kHz XEPPM
and noted S=9+5dB signal in Cape Canaveral Florida remote SDR``

However, when I check 6185 at 0424, there`s a heavy SAH of about 6 Hz,
with AWR Austria in Turkish; some music audible. After 0430 in clear
at S9+10/20, music almost sufficient but still undermodulated compared
e.g. to neighbor 6175 VOA Botswana (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9395, March 19 at 1348, Brother Scare on WRMI
has QRM from ute noise across both sides but slightly less with LSB
tuning (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, March 19 at 2302, I can tell VOT is on today! But too
poor in storm noise level to copy. We can hardly wait another dekaday
until A-20 with the usual lift to 9830 and a real UT hour earlier, so
it will seem to remain at the same local time in the studio? Not any
more, Turkey`s last year observing DST was 2016y, per timeanddate.com,
but old habits die hard. 9830 should propagate better, but as always
will confront that constant RTTY from NAU Puerto Rico, unless they
turn it off by 2200. The other English to North America will again be
at 0300 on 9515, ex-0400 on 6125; and also USward at 1230 on 15450
ex-12035 at 1330.

6125, March 20 at 0400, Radio Martí has just quit but jamming
prolongs, with VOT English becoming detectable under but would still
be tough without the jam (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2026 contents: Albania non,
Antarctica, Argentina non, aUstralia, Bougainville, Chile, China,
Cuba, Denmark, France, Germany non, Guatemala, India, Indonesia,

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, March 19 at 0510, WLCR via WBCQ-6 is S9+50 even on
inside longwire due to storms, and splattering 9320-9340.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. UT Friday March 20 at 0100-0300, I monitor what every WRMI
