``*Probably* PY5AMF, who is an active contester. Saul Broudy(W3WHK) Philadelphia, PA USA`` *Maybe* but u.o.s., I don`t log without fonetix certain, but did not write those down. Maybe he was saying ``Monkey`` instead of ``Yankee``?

S7/S9 with that signature hum, but just barely modulated. By 0605 I realize the language is not English or Spanish, but Arabic? So this is really R. Japan in Arabic via FRANCE as scheduled 0600-0630, underneath the Radio Humvana carrier. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 6000, March 14 at 0604, RHC S9+10/20 of dead air or trace of modulation. Nothing else scheduled, so probably really RHC rather than an understation; altho Echo of Hope, Korea South, might have jumped from 5995 to 6000 this week? Somethings` always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9800, March 14 at 1523, ballad at S4/S7 with flutter, 1525 Korean announcement. I was expecting VOA Philippines, but it takes a break at 1500-1900 from 9800; rather, Nippon no Kaze at 1500-1600 via Paochung, TAIWAN, site says Aoki; while EiBi says TWN-s-Danshui/Tanshui/Tamsui (Taipei province) 25N11-121E25 vs. TWN-p-Paochung/Baujong (Yunlin province) PAO/BAJ 23N43-120E18.

No more cat-and-mouse? Nothing on alternate 11530, where D.W. ought to jump when jammed on 11540, and v.v.

Scheduled at 2215-2230 Sundays is Voice of Truth -- with a name like that, beware! Something`s odd at Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7780, at 0330 various nights but not logged, a new gospel huxter on WRMI, ``Soteriah International Ministry``, in English but very heavy African accent hard to understand, encouraging immediate tuneout. Nothing about it on programming page, but bought up a lot of time on sked updated Mar 13: Mon-Sat 0330-0400 7780, but what about R. Svobodna expanded to 0400? Sat 1200-1230 5850 Sat 2200-2300 5850 or is it daily? blank rest of week Tue-Sat 0000-0100 5950 General search on that strange name reveals that Soteriah is Greek for deliverance, i.e. another Christian concept. Maybe the same thing has a place on disgraced FB, but stalled since 2014y! https://www.facebook.com/Soteria-International-Ministries-566096896845170/ Tema, Ghana, is mentioned, which would account for the accent. Yet another one obsessed with the godname Yahweh. There are some other ministries with such a Soteriah name (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4790, UT Monday March 14 after 0330, `Concert Hall` on WBCQ Radio Angela, concluding Act I of Carmen --- I thought it was supposed to be Act II of Barber of Seville this week; filled with some other Carmen music until 0359. Now starts at 0200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 15300, March 14 at 1514-1514.4*, JBA signal with heavy Doppler flutter, i.e. horizontally in frequency, not just vertically in strength. Only one signal, not two beating, when chopped off air abruptly. Nothing between 1500-1600 in HFCC, Aoki or EiBi. In these entire skeds only a handful of transmissions ending at ``-1515``: 7510 KTWR Korean; Chengdu, China on 7225, 6060; Kunming on 7210; none of which seem likely on 15300. No other signals nearby on 19m with such flutter, presumably close to trans-polar (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) TIPS FOR RATIONAL LIVING What Can We Learn from the War in Ukraine? Four erroneous and dangerous premises have been accepted in current international relations. Juan Antonio Blanco Miami 10 Mar 2022 - 17:40 CET "How did we get here?" Jake Tapper asked CNN on Sunday, March 6. His answer was honest and accurate: it has been two decades of misguided optimism and appeasement by Western leaders, of different parties, eager to ignore Vladimir Putin's grave misconduct inside and outside Russia. In the end, Tapper asked whether any lessons had been learned from all this. He left the answer up in the air, to be pondered by viewers. I don't think so. To correct these errors, it is not enough to point them out. Rather, it is necessary to understand the premises — also mistaken — that spawned the West's indecision, confusion and weakness vis-a-vis its main enemies. And it is not only with Russia that mistakes have been made, but also with Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, China, and its disgraceful non-state allies (including international terrorism and organized crime). To answer Tapper's question, I think it is necessary to reconsider at least four false and dangerous foreign policy premises that have been accepted over the last two decades by important open societies.... https://diariodecuba.com/internacional/1646930450_38011.html This report dispatched at 1856 UT March 14
