** CUBA. 6180, March 11 at 0147, S9+20 of dead air on CRI relay, trace of underaudio maybe Brasil if not CRI JBM. Also some lite pulse jamming, maybe bleedover from Cuban neighbor transmitter. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 11880, March 12 at 0059, huge open carrier, S9+10/20 via Bonaire KiwiSDR, so quiet that I thought at first the tuner was muted. About 0059.7 a few notes of the Encompass IS so evidently routed via London; 0100 opening ``KBS World Radio`` pronounced in English, otherwise relay in Spanish. This was found by Ivo Ivanov as a new entry in HFCC B-20 for March 10-12 only as a test, but was heard yesterday until 0200 with a VG signal by JRX in Brasil who thinx it runs at least until March 28. Supposedly still on 9605 via WHRI at same hour, I did not get around to checking. Other frequencies were registered via Greenville but AFAIK never tried. We assume that KBS relay is due to switch from SC to NC, sometime. I understand it is on azimuth 164 from Grimesland (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 332-MCW kHz, March 11 at 0716 UT, unusually a third station mixing with IC Wichita KS and QT Thunder Bay ON, the latter weaker than usual as it normally exceeds IC despite being 10X further. Part of the call is overlapping, but ends with -IS. This is a likely fit: FIS, Key West - Fish Hook FL, 400 watts. I had another fishy log of this on Dec 14, over 2 megameters away vs TB at only 1.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 13565-CW, JBA vs CODAR, March 11 at 1451, K6FRC calls over and over, HIFER beacon in Patterson CA, every logging notable as it`s 1.8 milliwatts. Never traced much later in the day (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2076 monitoring: Monitored WRMI Sunday Evening / Monday Morning (UTC) 7780 kHz Schedule --- From my recording last Sunday evening, 7-8 March 2021 UTC (note additional airing of World of Radio at 23:00 UTC): 23:00 World of Radio (#2076; not Bringing Truth to Life) (Richard Langley, NB, March 10, WOR iog) New, now added to the sked grid. Has been 24 hours earlier Saturdays but not on grid, so both now, or moved? This would have been at same Sunday time as on Area 51 WBCQ 6159.93, but from March 14 that presumably shifts one UT hour earlier to 2200 UT, further into ever-increasing daytime absorption. I`m hoping A-21 skeds out shortly from HFCC will no longer show a WBCQ conflict with WHRI over 7490, so we can go back into the night at 0300 UT Mondays on 6160-. 7490 programming obligations had to be moved onto 6160. WOR 2076 also confirmed Wed March 10 at 1050 when I happened to awaken, the 1030 on WRMI 5850, VG. Also confirmed UT Thu March 11 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9 but noisy storm crashes from Iowa; also some storms vs Pardinho, Brasil SDR, S8-S9 at 0157 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

But overmodulated/distorted, continuous music past 0230 rather than frequent, or any, 93.7 IDs as before. Kiwi shows carrier varying around plus 26 Hz, very close to where I measured it directly a binite ago, +22 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2077) This report dispatched at 0240 UT March 12
