** CHINA [non]. 15700, March 11 at 1447, China Plus relay via CUBA is
S9+40 but suptorted; wiggle that patchcord!

6180, March 12 at 0143, another such relay is also suptorted.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 15140, March 10 at 1901, RHC`s first English of the
day has shifted one hour earlier as expected, and any frequency change
will have to wait a month. More surprisingly, `DXers Unlimited` is
already starting at hourtop instead of about :09 past as originally
scheduled. No news today?

9720, March 10 at 2113, the second English hour has also shifted 60
minutes earlier to 21-22 instead of 22-23; nominally for Africa, but
bigsig back thisaway and also has stayed on same frequency. This makes
a lot more sense than 22- or 23- UT if Africa really be the target;
now only by East Africa Time is it after local midnite. 2113 program
is already mailbag, presumably following DXUL circa 2101. At 2132
Spanish music not // weaker 9640 & 9535 in Spanish service. Original
B18 sked when both of the Bejucals started at 22, had 9640 as only 50
kW at 110 degrees, and 9535 as 100 kW at 230 degrees; yet 9640 is
always much stronger than 9535 here.

Last November, Wolfgang Bueschel had this detailed info about 9720
quoting Ivo Ivanov`s style:
``2200-2300 9720 BAU 100 kW 130 degrees SoAf English, new time slot,
antenna Bauta #3, HRS4/4/0.8, 160 degrees minus 30 degree slewed, wb``

21-22 on that schedule for 9720 had French and Portuguese; unknown yet
what became of them, shoved up to 20-21? Or swapped with 22-23? 9720
is gone at 2246 check. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

Arnie`s other DX program, `En Contacto` just started at 2245 Sunday
March 10, ending by 2259, earlied an hour, on 5040, 9535, 9640, 11760,
11840 at least, and something on 15370. Has RHC`s website Spanish
program schedule been updated?
http://www.radiohc.cu/interesantes/programacion
Of course not! Subtract one UT hour for correct times of all programs.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. (And BTW it includes overnight when
SW is supposed to be silent, with another repeat of En Contacto Monday
at 0735, meaning 0635.)

15730, Sun Mar 10 at 2246 confirmed in Esperanto, S9+10 and suptorted,
also an hour earlier, from 2230 ex-2330.

6165, March 11 at 0621, RHC is OFF, clearing frequency for NHK Arabic
via FRANCE; RHC English also missing from 6100, 6060 and 5040 --- only
6000 is still on but suptorted modulation spikes, unusable.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. So during DST of EDT, is RHC
attempting to keep English going until 0700 or not? It`s still
starting by 0100 as checked March 12 at 0140 on 6000 & 6165. Or could
they have moved that up to start at 0000?

15140, March 11 at 1822, RHC Arabic has also been advanced one hour,
the announcer sounding like he is choking, suptorted to boot (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1973, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also CHINA
[non]

** OKLAHOMA. 1170, Sunday March 10 at 2114 UT, KFAQ Tulsa with pillow
commercial during `Our American Stories`, the show I ran across on
KXEL and hoped to be non-political and non-religious. KFAQ sked shows
three relief airings each weekend, different or same episodes?
https://www.1170kfaq.com/show-lineup
Sat at 15 UT, Sun at 10 & 21 UT for two hours each.

On website I see they carry/link to KOTV News on [virtual] 6, and
radio-locator says Griffin is the licensee; I had not realized KFAQ is
jointly owned with KOTV & KWTV (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 6130, March 12 at 0144, RRI in English, but with
ACI from Spanish 2-way on 6131-USB; also some lite stray Cuban pulse
jamming on the plus side. RRI OK with LSB tuning, but I don`t know how
the SS put up with the minus-one QRAM. Anyhow, the Cubans lose no love
for the Romanians, who overthrew the yoke of Communist oppression 29+
years ago and summarily executed the dictator.

7375, March 12 at 0144, tuned here first and thought it was RRI in
English, underneath heavy Cuban pulse jamming, which is ``needed`` for
only one hour at 22-23 when Radio Martà is on it. Such are the risks
of time-sharing a frequency with RM. Trouble is, when uplooked later,
RRI English to NAm at 01-02 is scheduled on 7325, not 7375, so either
they or more likely I was on wrong frequency, which sounded like same
programming but I did not match to 6130 on two different receivers.
Need to check next night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 12030, Monday March 11 at 1824, REE is really in Russian,
mentioning Madrid, then playing a song in Spanish; 1829 Spanish ID,
PSA by MinEx that Spaniards abroad need to register about something by
30 March, and Spanish show `Europa Abierta` about Brexit.

At beginning of B18 season, after schedule shuffle, there was some
controversy whether REE was really in Russian. WRTH now shows this M-F
at 1800-1830 on 12030 to ME and IndOc, and 11685 for WAf/Atlantic,
i.e. nowhere to be finding very many Russians --- because Noblejas
simply has no azimuth toward Moskva? 11685 however is vacant, as are
the other two to Americas, 9690 & 11940 which do not come up until
1900 on weekdays. There are a bunch of scattered once-a-week Russian
REE broadcasts via WRN Moscow on 738 kHz, each at a different time of
day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 12035.7, March 11 at 1423, it`s a skewed-frequency day for
VOT English, VP; 1424 can barely perceive the IS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1972 monitoring: confirmed Sunday March 10 at
2130 on WRMI 7780, very poor.

Also confirmed UT Monday March 11 after 0130 on WRMI 5950 & 9395, both
unusually S9+10 but 5950 always softer-sounding; ex-0230 at the time
occupied by R. Tirana the other six days of week. (And R. Tirana
resumed UT Tue March 12 during this semihour.)

WOR also confirmed UT Monday March 11 at NEW time 0230 on WRMI 7780,
very poor. (And BTW, WRN makes clear and confirmed that their N
American service by satellite and webcast stays at same 0230 UT
despite out DST, not changing until Europe does at monthend.)

Confirmed UT Monday March 11 at 0300 on Area 51 webcast, and at 0318
on WBCQ 5130.409, poor

Confirmed UT Monday March 11 at 0330 on WRMI webcast, as always
following ``Hallelujah`` song filler cut off at 0330, while 9955 was a
JBA carrier a few minutes earlier.

Not confirmed Monday March 11 at 2230 on WRMI 9955, when WOR would
have appeared ex-2330 except it was gone already last week; instead we
hear music fill 2229 past 2230 and still at 2255.

** U S A. 17775, Monday March 11 at 1450, JBA carrier, presumably KVOH
now starting an hour earlier at 1400 UT to stay on from 7 am PDT, but
still a JBA carrier at 1819 check. At 0319 UT March 12, KVOH websked
still claims to start at 1500 UT and shows target Cuba as 5 hours
behind instead of 4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5002-5003, March 11 at 0625, some uteblob is far too
close for comfort to WWV; can even hear some of it with LSB tuning.

DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS updated for DST scheduling:
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html

CUBA. 6100, Sunday March 10 at 0710, RHC S9+20 in undermodoulated
Esperanto, only frequency still running. 0700 should have been the DST
timing, instead of 0800 as they have kept announcing all winter. Now
that EDT has just started, will they stay at 0700 UT?

DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS updated for DST scheduling:
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html

** CHAD [non]. 12050, March 9 at 1938, song in language? Not Spanish!
Yes, WEWN is AWOL again, clearing frequency for R. Ndarason
International. 1941 announcement and ID in French, then song in
French; 1954 into presumed Kanuri, mentions NigÃria, Cameroun, Tchad,
Boko Haram, terrorisme; S9 with deep fades to S6; more music, 1959 ID
and talk mixed in French and Kanuri.

This 19-21 transmission via ASCENSION was reported by Ivo Ivanov as
missing Feb 27-28, but heard again March 5. Note: since its western
language is French, not English, this RNI certainly pertains to Chad,
apparently originating in Ndjamena, rather than Nigeria (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5025, March 10 at 0706, R. Rebelde is S9+30 but
overmodulated/distorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6100, Sunday March 10 at 0710, RHC S9+20 in undermodoulated
Esperanto, only frequency still running. 0700 should have been the DST
timing, instead of 0800 as they have kept announcing all winter. Now
that EDT has just started, will they stay at 0700 UT?

15140, Sunday March 10 at 1501, RHC Esperanto is just starting, now
one UT hour earlier for this emission, and suptorted; then I check //
11760 and find it`s already running about a minute ahead of 15140, so
separate playouts, an anomaly not noted previously. Could not stay
with it to copy sign-on schedule announcement, but will be a miraklo
if they get everything right (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11760, Sunday March 10 at 1350, RHC medical show is just
starting, after pre-emption last week, so Arnie`s `En Contacto` DX
show just missed was also probably back at 1335-1350, both shifted one
UT hour earlier since as a running dog of Yanqui imperialism, Cuba
adopted EDT same time as the gusanos in Miami, shifting all(?) Spanish
programming an hour earlier. The other times for E.C. on various
frequencies should now be Sunday 2245? and UT Monday 0140.

As for English, we expect the first airing to be at 19-20 instead of
20-21 UT, still on 15140; big question is what happen to the
``Africa`` service which after a lot of confusion when DST went off
last November, finally settled into 22-23 (usually) on 9720. Will it
go back to 23 UT, and/or change frequency yet? Next airing at 00-01 on
5040 normally shifts an hour earlier to 23-24 whether or not the other
frequency start matching it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15700, March 10 at 1443, China Plus relay in English is still
here, and still defective: this time S9+30 and suptorted. Something`s
always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUATEMALA. 4055, March 10 at 0705, harmonious hymnody, S9/+10, as
TGAV Radio Verdad must be on very late, an hour past usual sign-off.
Are they or am I confused by imminent imposition of DST? Not me; my
watch stays on 24-hour UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 11570.040, March 10 at 1448, VOA Korean is off-
frequency, soon playing a song in English; off by 1500 recheck. HFCC,
EiBi and Aoki/NDXC all list 11570 as PHT Tinang site but at 1200-1400
only, nowhere later. Saipan is more likely to be off-frequency. So at
this hour is it really NMI?

9985.036, March 10 at 1502, Korean at S9, off-frequency, presumably
RFA. Once again, Saipan more likely than Tinang to be askew, altho
Thailand is capable of that too. This was not on before 1500.

As for previous doubts that 9985 was really reactivated Saipan,
Wolfgang Bueschel forwarded a bunch of IBB auto-monitoring captures
labeled SAI for that, so apparently is, if we are willing to take
their word for it. Maybe one transmitter was not so destroyed after
all, retaining and resuming signature capability of offfrequenciness
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1972 monitoring: NO WRMI, Saturday
March 9 at 2209 tune-in 9955, rather fluttery JBA carrier: see
UNIDENTIFIED. 9395 WRMI is on OK at S8. But as I listen, WRMI with WOR
cuts 9955 on at *2211, S6-S8; unknown if a momentary break or no start
at all until now; recheck at 2229, still on as WOR has just ended.

Confirmed newish airing UT Sunday March 10 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG
S9+20, after a few notes of unneeded intrusive music between the WRMI
ID and start of WOR, as happens too often by this automation.

Also confirmed UT Sunday March 10 at 0430 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO,
S9+20 as I comment on ``irrational DST`` about 6 minutes into so
started circa 0424 (and due to CDT, nominal start from next week will
be 0315 UT!)

Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, confirms: ``GERMANY, Reception of World of Radio

** U S A. WRMI schedule has been partially updated for DST, effective
March 10:
http://www.tinyurl.com/WRMIfqs

The frequency grid shows 9955 ending at 1400 UT instead of 1500,
except on Sat & Sun when `Full Gospel Hour` huxtergasms are appended.
Other 9955 hours are: 1100-1400, 2100-0400, but also 1000-1100 Sundays
only. See also UNIDENTIFIED 9955 below.

Argentina and Albania English relays have moved an hour earlier to
0100-0200 instead of 0200-0300; RAE is UT Tue-Sat, and Tirana UT Tue-
Sun, on 9395 & 5950, so we assume filling the gap on UT Mon will still
be WORLD OF RADIO at 0130 instead of 0230; while other non-9955
airings should stay at same UT.

But some additional changes have been made concerning WORLD OF RADIO:

NEW UT Mon 0230 on 7780; Still UT Tuesday 0030 on 7730 but then NEW
0100 Tue on 7780; Tue at 2030 & 2130 on 7780 & 5950; Wed & Thu at 2100
on 7780 & 5950; The last two sets of four WOR airings have previously
been disproven, except for Tue 2030 on 5950, as otherstuff such as RAE
relays in German have continued running instead at 2100. But it`s time
to reunconfirm them, just in case (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 3445-AM, March 10 at 0027, VP carrier, pirate? Nothing
reported here at HF Underground, and I can`t figure out any local
AM/SW mixture (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9955, Saturday March 9 at 2209, fluttery JBA carrier, as
WRMI is OFF until *2210 joining WOR in progress. What could this
othersig be?

EiBi appears to list every single WRMI program on 9955 separately, but
as of 1555 UT March 10, still showing obsolete EST scheduling; aside
from permanent changes/updates, everything should now be one real UT
hour earlier on this frequency. It was last updated March 5. And shows
absolutely no other station on 9955.
http://eibispace.de/dx/freq-b18.txt

Ditto Aoki/NDXC, unusually not updated since March 8:
http://www1.m2.mediacat.ne.jp/binews/ut/userlist1.txt

But HFCC has a B-18 registration at 18-22 for HBN = T8WH PALAU due
west in Mandarin/English --- would that really be Radio Free Asia? Not
on their known schedule, nor VOA`s. And no part of China is due west
from Palau, rather Mindanao and Malaya! Maybe it`s a jammer against
nothing, and running overtime to boot. Fortunately, when active, WRMI
easily overcomes it here. But with WOR now earlied to 2100 Wed & Sat,
this could become a CCI problem (Glenn Hauser, OK, March 10, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
