** ALASKA. HAARP tests on final night UT March 3, via KFS omni, from 0448 nothing found on higher frequencies until 0451 reaching 3250 with sweeps upward every 20 seconds with pauses. Makes nice symmetrical pattern on waterfall of diagonal lines each side of 3250 out to about 3190/3310. By 0536 longer sweeps with no pauses, still restarting every icosasecond. There`s a weak line on 3215 which must be WWCR: I tune there briefly and can hear the sweeps going thru it. Finally off at 0603*. Strictly-SWBC editors may be inclined to throw this and my 9600, 5800 logs out, but I point out they concern ute intruders into broadcast bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, Sunday March 3, RHC still on at 0745 with music, probably in order to Esperanto at 0800 but I`m zzz before then. 15140, Sunday March 3 at 1610, RHC Esperanto S7/S9, spoken rapidly as if by a ``native`` YL, but primary frequency 11760 is off. I think it was on before 1600. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Sunday March 3 at 1542, JBA carrier presumed REE to North America, an abject failure of frequency management, winter after winter. On weekends starts at 1500 instead of 1900, when all-dayside path finds 9 MHz well below the LUHF, duh. First hours need to be on much higher band, like 17855 which presumably resume once A24 start, and from *1400. Then they will run that into the night, facing a reverse proplem. Now, 12030 to ME is fair and *much* better even tho off the back, while the other two, 17715 & 17755 are more audible than 9690. 1500 on 9690 could also be CRI in Bengali via Kunming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 8992 USB, Mar 3 at 1544, EAM just starting as I tune in a bit too late to copy today`s unique handle. YL voice with self-induced whine to make it annoying, sounding exactly same on // 15016 & 11175 USBs, no echoes. Likely from Andrews. Fonetik message starts: MGAJ7K--- (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2232 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday March 3 at 0100 on WRMI 9955, S7/9 into Missouri SDR. Also confirmed UT Sunday March 3 at 0507-0536 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, only S7 into nearby SDR and JBA direct, the nominal 0415v delayed by overtime Houston AMSAT Tuesday net from nom. 0300, then much shorter ARRL News for Friday started at 0454, lasting 13 minutes. Also confirmed Sunday March 3 at 1143 when I happen to awaken, the 1130 on WRMI 9955, S9+20 and no jamming audible.

Soon matched // 15565. HFCC shows both SMG site, 250 kW, 113 & 135 degrees. So strong here unlike any other Eurosigs on band again raises the suspicion they are mistakenly aiming backwards USward or at least not suppressing any back-radiation. Swahili follows at 1600, when 15565 is still SMG but 13830 switches to Madagascar now really aimed USward beyond, but at 1609 check, 13830 is much weaker VP, while 15565 is S6/S7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VENEZOMBIA. 4940, March 3 at 0741, Estación 4940 is on, S9+25 about equal to noise level, in Spanish. Had been absent a few late nights but not sure if totally off too, earlier in evening (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** YEMEN [non]. 11820, the horrible Sa`udi roarer for Rep of Yemen Radio is no longer heard, 1536 check March 3. Andy Reid, Ont., who tries to hear BBC on 11825 in the 23 UT hour, first reported 11820 cleared of noise as of 2344 UT Feb 29. Perhaps the Riyadh NavyDude visiting SBA/SRI got them to stop it. I never suggested the buzz on 11820 was a Cuban jammer, as Rick Barton misunderstood (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, March 3 at 0414-0420: 684, 711, 819, 837, 855-2, 882, 891-2, 909, 999, 1026-2 fast, 1044, 1053, 1089-2 slow 1 Hz, 1107, 1125, 1305, 1413: mostly UK, Spain.

EiBi shows nothing on 17745 except BBC in Somali via Woofferton, 1130-1300 SaSu and 1430-1730 Sa -- but this is Sunday! Aoki shows BBC Somali but 1130-1300 WOF, 1300-1800 UAE and both on days 1 & 7 only. HFCC shows several conflicting 17745 entries, three covering 1530, all in Somali.
