** ALGERIA. 9500, March 18 at 0402, S9/+15 into Maryland SDR, sounds like a national anthem; then at 0405, series of IDs twice in something, English as ``Holy Qur`an Radio, Algeria``, French, Arabic. Maybe the only/best time for such ID? Meanwhile I was also checking 5900 and heard nothing but TOMBS via Bulgaria. 9500 still on with HQ at 0615. So it appears last night`s HQ on 5900 was a mistake, digits reversed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Mar 18 at 2226, LRA36 is on talking about Antártida, 2245 music, 2248 RAE multi-lingual IDs, then LRA36, RNASG ID as ``15476``; 2250 seems live ID, then attributes LRA36 to province of Tierra del Fuego; contact info, ``Uniendo Voces``, acknowledging listeners. S7/S9 into Uruguay SDR. At 2335 I have a trace direct, S5 = noise level. At least two guys keep chatting, also mention Radio Club Quilmes -- that`s at the national university in greater BsAs, somehow involved in these produxions. Manuel Méndez, Spain says it started at *2059; will this be for another six hours? Still going past 2400+. But back on original frequency instead of recent 15474.98, presumably different transmitters (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11670, March 18 at 0656, RHC in English, S9+10 direct, undermodulated, and nowhere else on 5, 6, 10, 11 MHz bands. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, March 18 at 0326, Station YHWH is on with signature anti-Christ intonations of Josiah, S9/+5 into Utah SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 4015 USB, March 18 at 0327, S5 music into Utah SDR, no doubt Russian ethnic pirate Vostochnaya Zvezda. After multiple TDOA runs, Lucas Bandura is convinced this is in southern Arizona near Mexico. HF Underground does not want any pirate DF/TDOA info to be posted there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, March 18 at 2300, VOT English manages to be on air today, VG S9+30/40 into UTwente. News starts with Turkey approving Finland for NATO membership following visit by Finnish president; still not satisfied with Sweden. 2313 now with JBA CCCCCCI understation, feature on Traveling I have not encountered before, about visiting historic city of Artvin, near Georgian border at east end of Black Sea coast. Over already at 2318, to be continued next week, `The Captain`s Log`. 2319, `Whipping Piles` - Gripping Files? about a national treasure in literature whose name I can`t copy tnx to the heavily-accentedess. Maybe it`s Yas[h]ar Kemal, after some searching, who was Kurdish originally. `Turkey`s Geo-marked Products` ends at 2337. Music; 2350 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2353 s/off for the 1330, 1930 and 0430 airings only, as if this one did not exist. 2355 IS. 2356 restart IS with German IDs twice per minute. Still going at 2400 timesignal and opening spurious German - for how much longer? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].
