From now and for an unknowntime, at least for 3 years, I will not use any radio except the remote SDRs forDXing. Recently we moved from the village back to the city in a space thatprohibits the use of desktop DXing, a place flooded by high levels of noise inthe LMHF bands. The radio is now used mostly for FM, for news listening.we runpolitically lively condition with always very interesting twits every day ..

** KUWAIT. 7590, March 10 at 0613, JBA music. EiBi shows R. Farda at
0230-0830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 8828 USB, March 10 until 0625* mostly numerical by
monotone OM voice, ``--? VOLMET, out``. EiBi shows Auckland starting
at :20 and :50 past the hours, 24h timeshared with Kong Kong at :15,
:45; Tokyo at :10, :40 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Tropo is up, with Tulsa/Okmulgee/Eufaula UHF TV sigs
decoding for first time in long time, and most `open` channels have at
least BAD signals into Zenith STB from my rooftop antenna still
permanently aimed SSE toward OKC, March 10 at 1552, including: RF 28 =
Ion 44-1; RF 31 OETA 3-1 = KOET; RF 20 KQCW-HD 19-1; and RF 28 KJRH
2-11. KJRH is NBC affil, originally KVOO-TV, but what`s it doing on
this obscure sub-channel? Soon fades below decoding level. I would not
have noticed it tuning by RF channels, but at virtual 2 it came up.
Strangely enough, searching rabbitears.info on KJRH calls shows it
only on RF8 as 02-1. RF 28 is axually KTPX-TV Okmulgee, virtual 44 for
ION. If you bring that one up, it does show KJRH as 2-11. BTW, this
Zenith set-top-box DTV converter must be left on all the time. If
turned off or a power failure, it`s tough to get it to turn back on
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9610.018-, Sunday March 9 at 2201, S9+35/40 into UTwente,
well above annoying ChiCom Mongolian CCI of CNR8, VOT English amid
music break, 2204 `Letterbox` continues with one from Bangladesh,
names Turkey`s best university. 2207 Liam? Spencer, USA, 15-year-old
from Colorado, heard 6125. Hostess glad to hear from such a young SWL,
implying SW is not dead yet. 2209 Jayanta Chakraborty, north India,
``Dear Sir``, plugs freedom of religion in India; she distances
herself from a commentary on Mon & Wed which is translated from TRT
World website opinion sexion, not originated by VOT or its English
dept. 2222 ``that`s a wrap``, hostess names herself, sounds like
``Jamie`` but probably not, and closing song. 2216 `LBox` theme/outro
as there is briefly some OTH radar? cliQRM until 2219.5, no more.
``always-by-your-side`` promo, 2217 song. 2222 TRTVOTVorld.com promo,
music. 2225 s/off as if 1330 on 13635, and 9 notes of IS before chop
2226* uncovering CNR8.

I miss the next repeat if it succeeded, circa 2320 on 5960, so plan to
catch the first part of L`Box on final repeat circa 0415 on
6125/7285.

Indeed, I do, tuning in a bit earlier via UTwente to 6125.004+, S9+45,
perfect reception, in strength, modulation quality, no QRM, better
than sufficient // 7285.018-, S9+5/15. March 10 at 0416 a commentary
about Sa`udi influence and policies concerning tribes in Syria and the
Levant; outro as by an international relations expert, name not
understood. Then program outro as `The Pulse of Turkish Foreign
Policy`. 0420.5 music. 0424 TRTVOTVOrld.com promo in 41 {sic; more
added?} languages, and `Letterbox` theme, opening. 0425 YL hostess
says Ramadan started a week ago and is still getting used to fasting
all day, and feels less energetic since she can`t have any coffee or
tea - sounds fine and awake to me. 0425 Siddartha ---, reported 3-8
Feb at 1730, SINPOs all 44444: how many NGOs in Turkey? 122, relying
on donations, also some state support. Malik -- --, Pakistan: glowing
review of VOT. 0429 got email from EBU about ticket competition? for
Eurovision Song Contest, Basel in May. She always enjoyed it as a
child. Turkey not participating for a few years, a loss. Song quality
not that good, but fun like a party. 0430 music break: Anatolian pop
rock, names not understood - sounds like a scratchy vinyl at start.
0435 wanted to resume ``question of the month`` but manager nixed it.
Next, about what is the largest university in Turkey? by km2, by
number of students, but the best academically is a private one, name
not understood - etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 8782, March 10 at 0622 tune-in, few words by YL in SSB,
``Forecast center``? Then Morse code ID once as KFS and off. Could
call it CW, but was still tuned to exactly 8782.0 where SSB was clear.
Klingenfuß 2022 says it`s channel 822 for coast stations, QSX 8258,
but no KFS, only EQJ, PPR and XSQ. EiBi shows 8782, 24h for KFS, Rio
Vista CA, and also 24h XSQ Guangzhou (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2285 monitoring: confirmed Sunday

** U S A. 9955, March 10 at 1544, WRMI-3 is off already as nominally
to 1530 in DST season, ex-until 1630 in ST season (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR0

** U S A. 15150, March 10 at 1537, WMLK infested by unstable spurs
circa +/- 4X kHz, at least 15142, 15146, 15154, 15158, much like the
17525 galaxy before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, March 10 at 0613, JBA signal presumed R. Vanuatu and
still not on 9960. Due to the imposition of DST I shall probably be
monitoring more in the 06 UT hour than the 07+ (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810.57 kHz, March 10 at 0554 UT, JBA carrier detectable
again aside 810 WHB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4200, 4800, 5100, 5400, March 10 at 0325 past 0405, and
0549-0601 UT, pips/beeps/carriers on and off at regular odd intervals
amounting to about 26X per minute on frequencies exactly 300 kHz
apart. Something never heard before. Details:

0325, found first on 4800.00 during bandscan; still past 0405. At 0407
found also on 5100, but fraxion of a second delayed using two rx, but
maybe because of different DSP delays in rx. And soon also on 5400
which is synched with 5100. Then I check other +/- 300 kHz spots for
this: NOT on 4200, 4500, 5700. Suspended chex 0416 as it`s almost time
for V of Turkey `Letterbox`, q.v.

0549 resume checking direct: 4800, 5100 and 5400, the latter with
almost double-pips, two sites? Now ALSO on 4200, but NOT on: 3900,
3600, 3300, 3000, 2700; 6000, 6300, 6600. At 0557: NOT on 4200, 4500,
but YES on: 4800, 5100, 5400. Not expecting any break for ToH ID at
0600, but listening just in case: NONE on 4800, 5100, 5400. So, what`s
going on here? Of course, nothing to be heard at next check in daytime
1545 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7725 CW, March 10 at 0616 UT, weak beeps at 24/minute,

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST update

Hi Glenn, my latest Hitlist update.
https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm

1) Updated UTC offset notations for change to DST:  Cuba (Habana R, R
Progreso, R Rebelde), USA (R Martí, V of America)
2) Turkey - Added a link to the TRT Global
Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe

** ITALY [and non]. 7399.906, March 9 at 1624, tune in UTwente just in
time for publicized monthly broadcast of Marconi Radio International
on ``7400`` until 1630 --- S8/S9 with Italian? talk vs much stronger
ACI from 7404.984 with ``shortwave`` jingle, Dutch? presumably R.
Piepzender as both these are the only stations anywhere, anywhen on
7395 & 7400. 7399.906 still going ast 1635 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 1549.82, March 9 at 0730, besides 1 kHz tones from unknown
US station, the JBA carrier hetting also detectable, maybe partway to
1549.81, presumed XEREL Morelia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11934.893,     March 9 at 1945, huge buzz atop Arabic
from Rep. of Yemen Radio via Riyadh, S9+20/30 into UTwente. Presumably
transmitter fault rather than jamming. Had been clear of this for
several weeks. Tnx tip from Tony Rogers and David Morris, bdxc (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2285 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday March 9 from 0511 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+15/20 with some
storm crashes into nearby SDR; very late after nominal 0415 as Houston

** U S A. 7505, March 9 at 0654 UT, WRNO on late again unpredictably,
S9+25 with song, presumably hymn (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. MW bandscan during the Hour of Confusion, March 9
after 0700 UT, hits  several frequencies with 1 kHz tones, no doubt
from unattended and failed satellite feeds; exacerbated due to the
imposition of DST. These are not hets since the pitch peaks the same
on LSB and USB.

680, March 9 at 0714-0718+ UT, tone on for 30 seconds, off for 20
seconds, over and over. No announcement between, and not CJOB which is
continuously audible mixing with Manitoba mentions, intruding as usual
into American Airspace. Most likely my regular KFEQ, St Joseph MO, or
possibly KKYX San Antonio TX.

870, March 9 at 0719 UT, no doubt WWL New Orleans, 1 kHz tones
alternating with announcement, ``Westwood One, SES? something,
transponder 17, call 720-873-5177 between 8 am and 10 pm Eastern
time`` - that is not heard on most of the others but possibly only due
to QRM while the tones are clearly audible. AC 720 is Denver CO
overlaying 303, uplink location?

1100, March 9 at 0721 UT, S9+30 of dead air, no doubt WTAM. It`s
normally // but not synch with 1110 KFAB which is nominal now, and by
0727 WTAM modulation matches KFAB. No tones heard here.

1300, March 9 at 0722 UT, 1 kHz tone and unreadable announcement,
probably like on WWL. Too many possibilities, from KAKC Tulsa to
Nebraska, Texans, etc.

1380, March 9 at 0723 UT, 1 kHz tone on and off. Which?
1470, March 9 at 0725 UT, 1 kHz tone on and off. Which?
1550, March 9 at 0726 UT, 1 kHz tone on and off. Which?

Meanwhile I scan up and down the band a few more times in case I
missed some more tonals during pauses (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

The WMLK 17525 frequency 1730-2230 in A-25 caught my eye, as VOA English used 17530 from 1700-1830 during A-24. Tight squeeze from 1730-1830 in A-25 if VOA retains that frequency. Of course the entire USAGM shortwave output could be facing drastic cuts, so who knows what will happen.

many more from USA, q.v., and UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, March 7 at 1605, RHC S7 but JBM, still on but usually
off by 1600. SAWA = something`s always wrong at - (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** MEXICO. 800, March 7 at 0712 UT, heavy distorted mess from XEERG vs
KQCV OKC, still unfixed. I wonder if CKLW and PJB listeners also have
a problelm with it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SCOTLAND [non]. I was complaining about music being hard to find on
SW vs talk formats. But unlike some stations with only one or three
transmitters, there are plenty of music blox on one WRMI or another,
altho only one classical: `Encore`. Turned on my BSR1 caradio, Friday
March 7 around 2030 and there it was, already tuned to 15770. Fair
signal but never a blaster here since it`s aimed NE. Too bad not a
single WRMI in daytime be aimed across N America, and should be on 13
MHz or higher. I had already heard this new biweekly episode at first
airing, UT Fri Mar 7 at 0200 on 5850. Other WRMI times: UT Sun 0100 on
5850, UT Mon 0300 on 5950, Tue 1300 on 15770. 5950 is subject to DST
shifts unlike the others, so should already be at 0200 UT Monday
when the System L sked shows it should also be on 7730 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. LW bandscan March 7 at 0713-0739 UT, local noise level

** U S A [and non]. As if in reply to my observation that I`ve heard no
trace of any CW beacons on the ISM band for months, are any active?
These logs in CIDX Messenger:

``13566.50 kHz CW; 1519 UT Feb. 26. KE4TWI. HiFER (High Frequency
Experimental Radio) CW beacon in Lebanon, TN. Weak. These
transmissions occur within the ISM band
(Industrial/Scientific/Medical) where unlicensed experimental
operation is allowed, but with very low power levels (mW range). In
hobbyist lingo this is the "22m HiFER" band, which is 13553 to 13567
kHz (Hudak-ON)

13566.55 kHz CW; 1456 UT Feb. 22. RVA. HiFER CW beacon. Richmond, VA.

** U S A. 830, March 7 at 0707 UT, WCCO with `The Other Side of
Midnight` talk show host against DST, gives a phone number starting
with 720, so I wonder if it originate at WGN? He is // WGN 720 but
about 8 words behind WCCO. So he`s on WCCO before WGN. Search leads to

UNIDENTIFIED. LW bandscan, full of tantalizing JBA carriers of ND
beacons, March 7 at 0713-0739 UT. If only my local noise level could

810.00 WHB. I`ve DFed it more than once as roughly 100/280 degrees
from Enid. Now we need others to get a bearing from other angles to
triangulate it. This can be done on a hand-held portable with built-in
ferrite rod antenna, preferably with BFO, not with otherwise superior
fancy fixed antennas which have such a disadvantage (Glenn Hauser, OK,
