** CANADA. 2598 USB & 2749 USB, March 12 at 0645 UT, NO signals from
Canadian CG marine weather stations in NL and NS. DST did begin in
most of Canada on March 9 same as the other 48 states, ha ha, and we
had been hearing these after 0737 so it seems VCO, VCP et al., are
sticking to UT scheduling. Rather than a real hour earlier (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 650 kHz, March 12 at 0702 UT, very occasional JBA
whooping under WSM. There are a Progreso and a Rebelde on 650 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 1549.82 kHz, March 12 at 0649, still JBA carrier hetting
1550 stations believed to come from XEREL, Morelia, Mich. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185-, March 12 at 0631, XEPPM is OFF! Still off at 0917.
México`s last SW station, R. Educación, hope not gone for good. Had
been reliable late at night, and hardly anything else above 6115;
6160- WBCQ has been drastically curtailed with the departure of TOMBS.
WRTH 2025 shows no callsign for 6185, but Señal Cultura México, 1.4 kW
at 22-12 UT. EiBi agrees on the hours, but Aoki shows 21-10. There are
no longer any DST shifts in most of Mexico. At 2232 I try the KiwiSDRs
in MexCy XE1AF, and Qro: nothing on 6185.

At the bottom of this page there is a 6185 program schedule dated
March 2025, a lot of blanx, but only between 17 and 24 local time =
23-06 UT. After 06 SW must have been relaying one of their other
stations:
https://radioeducacion.edu.mx/carta-programatica-del-mes
There are also play linx further down page including one for 6185,
which does play music at 2305, but suspect is not a live feed.
https://s2.mexside.net/cp/widgets/player/single/?p=8178
So anything to hear after 2300 UT March 12? At 2301, 2307, 2325, still
nothing on 6185 to either XE remote. At 2344, nothing to Qro tho a
thin line on 6180 from Brasil is showing. At 2342 I sent them this
message on contacto form:

``Anoche después de la medianoche del miércoles, en mi propio receptor
de OC en Oklahoma, ni esta tarde después de las 17 HCM, nada en 6185
por remotos en CDMX y Qro. Es una emisora predilecta para mí. Espero
que su última emisora de OC de México pueda volver al aire tan pronto
como posible. Favor de explicarme qué pasa? Saludos.`` (Guillermo
Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 95.5, March 12 at 1946 UT into caradio, non-ID
as K95, then Tulsa ad. So this is KWEN, 100/100 kW in Tulsa, but per
WTFDA FM DB, it`s `K-95 FM` but the hyphen was *not* pronounced.
Adding to the confusion are two other 95.5 around here only, with
almost same branding! KITX, 50/50 kW in far Hugo, SE Oklahoma, `K95.5
FM` both country; and KAHE, 100/100 kW, Dodge City KS, `Super Hits
K95` no hyphen, i.e. Classic Hits format. At least there are no
further ones if respelt ``Kay/95`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** PUERTO RICO. 391 MCW kHz, March 12 at 0644 UT, DDP San Juan/DoraDo
beacon is JBA, always a welcome sign of good propagation, the only one
outside N America I ever hear. DXinfocentre.com and RNA Signals List
continue to conflict about its power, 1000 vs 2000 watts resp. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 11730, March 12 at 0625, RRI concluding French with
satellite and contact info, and IS, S9+20, SSOB way above e.g. France
11700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, Wed Mar 12 at 2308, token English from SNR is finally
back on its ME frequency, S9/+10 backwards into Maryland SDR, almost
as good as NAm 9690, S9+10/20; 17715 or SAm also VG S9/+15, but 17755
for Af JBA S5/S7. 12030 axually resumed March 11, a non-English
Tuesday, as reported by JRX in Brasil. Topic at 2315 today something
about the treatment of human remains in museums (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.004, March 12 at 2255, S9+35/40 into
UTwente, VOT IS & IDs in English, not off the air today unlike
yesterday, nor was 9610 in extraneous Italian at 2235, just Mongolian
from China. 2300 TS and s/on as if it`s 1330 on 13635 and into olds;
no time to listen further today, as I am checking XEPPM et al.; until
2344 when the multi-lingual ID filler reel is playing. 2346 music.
2351 s/off as if 1330 on 13635, awry, a little earlier than usual and
IS plays for a while atop the Chinese understation until uncovered at
2355.7* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 407 MCW kHz, March 12 at 0645 UT, ND beacon HRU is JBA.
Finally confirmed not off the air, but much weaker than it used to be:
25 watts at Herington KS. RNA signals list had it last logged
2024-12-29 so maybe had been off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 420 MCW kHz, March 12 at 0645 UT, ND beacon FQ, 25 watts at
`Montz` Fairmont MN. Sometimes hear the much closer 25 W, PK at
Olathe/Herbb KS, but not now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2285 monitoring: ``Richard Lemke,
St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, From the desk of Richard’s listening
Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF (30 years of service), Antenna: random
long wires in the trees. WRMI, USA, World of Radio #2285,     Missed
the first part forgot about the time change, 9395 kHz, QRN, 2355,
2357, 2358 (4-55433), 2359, March 11 UTC 2025 [Wed](Lemke, Richard
-AB)``

Confirmed Tuesday March 11 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S5/S7 into Valley
City ND SDR, more or less in direxion aimed.

Also confirmed Wednesday March 12 at 2043 the 2030 on SW Radio,
Germany, 3975.003-, S9/+10 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Wednesday March 13 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490 -76 Hz =
7489.924, S9/+15 into NH SDR; following gospel huxter at 2057,
presumably TOMBS like  9930 WTWW, cut off at 2059 for ID. Again, no
more Pirate Joe`s Extravaganzo just before us. See separate entry.
Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160.

** U S A. 7489.924, Wed Mar 13 at 2057, TOMBS gospel huxter on WBCQ
instead of `Pirate Joe Extravaganzo` as still on outdated WBCQ sked,
nor was he on last week. What about the other alleged times? Not
``EST`` but UT here: M-F 20-21, Tue also 19-20, with this blurb:

``To quote an article written about Pirate Joe in Roll Magazine: "The
Pirate Joe Country Music Radio Show and Old Blues and R&B
Extravaganzo" features music from the vintage collection and airs
Tuesday through Thursday from 3-6 PM. J.P. is never afraid to provide
a more left-leaning viewpoint to counter the roar of the AM right as
well. "Look, the rules of the game are, if you're doing anything
worthwhile, you're probably not going to make money at it. It's
inversely proportional. If you're doing garbage, you are going to get
rich. And as we become more of a corp-tatorship, that trend is only
going to get worse." Might as well just enjoy the music, then. And
with Pirate Joe the music is always a blend of truly Classic American
Music that you rarely get to hear and will always appreciate and
enjoy`` -- JP and AW go way back, but one wonders if AW`s dedication
to Free Speech reaches its limit (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WTWW: George McClintock messages me circa 2225 UT March 12
that #2 transmitter is back in service, so if nothing further happens,
should be going for WOR UT Sat 0300 on 5085. Still no return to 9475,
it seems. 5085 not yet on the air today by 2400, but should be later
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 770, March 12 at 0704 UT, WABC NYC disclaimer and singing ID
overcoming KKOB NM, normally dominant here with its 12.5 kW ND STA.
Are they restoring ballooned tower to resume U2 50/50 kW protecting
WABC? The 230-watt 770 at night relay in Santa Fe is reported out of
synch with ABQ, but I never hear an echo. It ought not to be necessary
while on ND STA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 830, March 12 at 0707 UT, dead air from WCCO, but only for a
minute or so from tune-in, whew (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1460 kHz, March 12 at 0651 UT, plug Fox Sports Radio via
iHeart app. Most likely KXNO Des Moines IA, U2 5/5 kW, NE/SW at night.
I was listening for Punjabi or something Asian, as KBRZ, Missouri City
[Houston] TX has been reported from Washington state, U1 5000/125
watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1510 kHz, March 12 at 0654 UT, two stations clashing at
equal levels, one with `C2CAM`, the other sports talk. At night, clear
channel WLAC Nashville TN should own the frequency, as most other
1510s in mid-America must be daytimers only. At 0659 one of them
mentions 94.5 FM: Bingo, that`s KCTE Independence MO, 10 kW DAYTIMER
direxional SSW right toward us. 94.5 is a mere translator K233DM of
``ESPN Kansas City``. WLAC is the C2CAM affiliate per NRC AM Log
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810.56 kHz, March 12 at 0706 UT, JBA carrier still
hetting 810.0 WHB KC, MO. I`m going to keep logging this and reporting
it until I, or someone can help pin it down (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1680 kHz, March 12 at 0652 UT, deadair atop weakers,
presumably my closest and dominator, KRJO Monroe LA (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 3312.0, March 12 at 0633-0637 UT, weak carrier, and more
just like it approx. 3280.6, 3296.3, 3359.2, i.e. about 15.75 kHz
apart. Bingo: No doubt radiation from some analog TV set, maybe
neighbor. All sets in this house are ``off`` but some plugged in, so
in standby mode; 15.734 as explained here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/audioengineering/comments/2mszh4/whats_up_with_this_spike_at_around_157khz_on_the/?rdt=56556
These would be harmonix in the 200+ range! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4885, March 12 at 0917 UT awaken check, JBA carrier,
presumably Korea as Brasil should be much stronger if on at all (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9236.0, March 12 at 0621, again the open carrier except
for regular clix, S8/S9 direct. Unlike before when the clix were
exactly every second, now they are timed at about 21 per minute, and
audible out to 9221/9251 or +/- 15 kHz. What is this? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
