** CUBA. 890, March 20 at 0252 UT, Spanish music, ``en la Habana``, hardly any signal from WLS, on E/W antenna, must be auroral conditions, WCCO also attenuated; then introduces a Norwegian orchestra to play a tune ``Cuban --`` something titled in English. No doubt the 200 kW Radio Progreso at Chambas, but no SW // 4765 to compare (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, March 20 at 0225, RHC S9+40/45 but huge humbuzz atop English modulation. The hum may be local as I also hear it on some other strong signals, but not the buzz. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9700, March 20 at 0237, S9+20/25 of dead air, no doubt RHC. Wolfie thinx this replace 6165 English, ever on air any more? Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, March 20 at 0240, S9+18 of dead air from RHC where something`s always wrong. Also DA of S9+20 at 0606, thus for 3+ hours? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 11850, March 20 at 0240, RHC S6/S7, just barely modulated as standard for this frequency, flanked by JBA spur carrier on 11840; and on 11860 QRMing the jamming against nothing and something else, presumably Sa`udi`s Yemen surrogate. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** INDIA. 15050, March 20 at 0219, algo S1/S2 to S3/S4. Must be AIR Indonesian hour 0130-0230 via Bengaluru. I continue to marvel how aeronauticals have not driven broadcasters out of their band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 USB, March 20 at 0229, live DJ seems quite a character, S9+10, says may not stay on much longer, a tune; 0232 recheck just in time for ``thanks for putting up --- ID?, over and out``. These show it`s Pigs Knuckles, until 0232*, several other reports: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,111514.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 7475 AM, March 20 at 0234, Station YHWH, earnestly questioning Christianity, S9+15/20 undermodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAO TOME E PRINCIPE. 13865, March 20 at 0559 open carrier, 0600 BBC with `Newshour`. One hour only relay via Pinheira, and strangely enough, not noticeably off-frequency. Signal on band second only to 13755 NZ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 13565 CW, March 20 at 0601, HIFER beacon with continuous IDs from Patterson CA; vs CODAR. Must be very first time I`ve heard it outside the usual post-sunrise window around 14/16 UT, suspecting it`s not 24h. It was stronger then than JBA at 1504 vs CODAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2182 monitoring: confirmed Sunday March 19 at 2100.5 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, S9+15 into nearby Noale SDR above lite music CCI presumably Smooth Radio, Brighton, England. Also confirmed UT Monday March 20 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 into Louisiana SDR, still blasted by noise first 14 seconds, and bits later. Also confirmed UT Monday March 20 from 0303, ex-0400v, after dead air from 0301 tune-in, S9+5 on WBCQ Area 51, 6160-. Next: 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035 USB [low power] 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Like our website, a noncommercial service for which financial support is appreciated; this week from Joe Caberlin, VE1EJ, Port Colborne ON, for some US$ to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA, preferably by MO or check on a US bank. One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9380-9410, March 20 at 0610, splatter range out of WRMI-6, 9395 with TOMBS at S9+10/20 somewhat overmodulating. Not as bad as 9455 was recently (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9975, UT Monday March 20 at 0238, S9+25/30 of gospel huxter, so KVOH manages to be on air at least partly this weekend (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1130, March 20 at 0250 UT, dominant signal on E/W antenna is Spanish ad citing 678 area code phone number twice. Therefore it has to be WLBA, Gainesville GA, a 10 kW ND daytimer! And no KLEY KS cheater audible for a change. Overcomes KWKH which is not much at night thisaway. New on me, but Terry Krueger, FL, reported: ``1130 GEORGIA WLBA Gainesville 1038 12/18/22 The perpetual overnight cheater, parallel 1600 WAOS overnight power cheater, with the usual Mexi-tunes format`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1150, March 20 at 0249 UT, S9 of dead air on E/W antenna, S9+28 on N/S wire, no doubt the dominant night station here, KSAL Salina KS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1440, March 20 at 0248 UT tune-across, ``1440 KPUR`` and Ag update, i.e. Amarillo TX in its current farm format. No ghost from WGEM to conflict with it any more (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UZBEKISTAN [and non]. 12084.844, March 20 at 1510, weak carrier with flutter, I first thought must be V of Mongolia, always off-frequency -- but Aoki shows that at 09-11 only, while 1500-1530 is AWR Tamil via Tashkent, which is also way off-frequency. At 13-15 VOM is supposed to be on 12015- which is also offset minus. However, Ron Howard just reported March 17 that it was on 12014.87 until 1100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9340 USB, March 20 at 0608, one side of 2-way, including whistling, laughing in unknown language (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2253 UT March 20 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/
