Logs
** CUBA. 6000, March 9 at 0339, RHC English is S7-S9 but just barely
modulated; // 6165 also S7-S9 with undermodulation more or less
sufficient. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [non]. 7435 // 7355, March 9 at 0332, Radio Martà VG on both
Greenvilles with only a trace of jamming underneath, in novelty song
about a muÃequita y ratÃn conversing. Rather it`s a children`s song
interrupted for conversation on that subject. How does this undermine
the Commies? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. 6105, March 9 at 0337, NHK Warudo, Japanese opera with
percussion, S9+20. This 02-04 UT transmission via FRANCE for all the
Japanese in Central America also puts a VG signal into N America,
where NHK has abandoned hundreds of millions of English-speakers; but
contains lots of interesting ongaku (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR. 6180, March 9 at 0336, Spanish from La Voz Alegre as
MWV is scheduled this hour only; no sign of Portuguese from RNA; nor
anything else. Presumably if reactivated on 6180, RNA would be closing
around local midnight now, 0300 UT; while CRI Mandarin via CUBA is
also there until 0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MALI [and non]. 13685, March 9 at 1512, CRI English is JBA but same
as on 15700 via Cuba; so Bamako relay is funxioning today (Earlier
circa 1340 had JBA carrier on 13685.7, Turkey off-frequency in Uighur)
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5-WBFM, March 9 at 1726 UT, KOCD Okeene is *still*
cutting on the air for 7 seconds, off for 25 seconds, interrupting
praise music in Spanish, i.e. 22% funxional. Back at KWDW-LP HQ at the
church in SW OKC, they either have no clue about this or don`t care.
Hey, 22% is better than nothing and I`m sure all listeners enjoy what
musicbits they can hear (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 9690, March 8 at 2135, REE playing harpsichord music,
unusual, soon YL announcement in Castilian that this is ``special
programming`` because of a strike (huelga) for International Women`s
Day; more variety of music fill, partly classical, flamenco, etc.,
never any IDs of the music, but REE IDs and repeated ``special``
announcements. 2200 timesignal and right into ``Firebird``. So it`s
special in the sense that they are just playing records instead of
producing usual programming.

This is // 11940, but there is different music fill on 12030, and the
fourth frequency, 11685, is missing. So perhaps a female on strike was
responsible for that transmitter, the others safely under male
control? 2259 recheck, now ``Ode to Joy`` with Spanish lyrix; 2300
still huelga announcement, so presumably no English today either, as I
tune out. The REE music hour at 2200 had much better signal than 7490v
WBCQ when I was tempted to listen to `Behaviour Night`.

But 9690 back to normal by next day, Sat March 9 at 1738 check via
UTwente, the males` stupid ballgames, with heavy ACI from both sides:
9685 CRI Kashgar, East Turkistan in Hausa; 9695 CRI Kashi in Mandarin,
per EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1972 monitoring: confirmed by Ivo
Ivanov, Bulgaria: ``GERMANY, Reception of World of Radio via HLR on
6190 CUSB, March 9
https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2019/03/reception-of-world-of-radio-via-hlr-on_9.html
0730-0800 6190 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg CeEu English Sat, good signal``

Confirmed in awake OK, Sat Mar 9 at 1252, the 1230 on WRMI 9955, good,
no jamming (from next week: 1130).

Also confirmed Sat Mar 9 at 1548 the 1531 on Hamburger Lokalradio,
9485-CUSB, not direct nor via UTwente SDR but audible more or less
readable on Italian Kiwi SDR.

But Alan Gale, England, reports: ``Hi Glenn, Well, after sitting here
listening to nothing but band noise on 9485 kHz for most of the
afternoon, would you believe that the signal suddenly appeared, and at
a good strength at 1557 UT, just in time to hear your closing
announcement followed by the HLR closing message. Oh well, hopefully
IRRS will still be on 7290 at 1800 UT on Monday and I'll have
another chance to catch it on there. Alan`` Make that 1900. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat March 9 at 0103, WBCQ webcast opening `Allan
Weiner Worldwide`, but soon seems to be an oldie, as he refers to ``my
girlfriend Angela``; 0151 recheck, familiar talk about the Super-
station with its 9-inch diameter transmission line; also says *none*
of the other 500 kW SW transmitters in the world are really running at
full power (but WBCQ`s will??). John H Carver Jr was also trying to
hear this on the radio:

``Can't copy 7490 this evening. No signal that I can find on 9330.
5130 has the militia so am listening on 3265 with a very poor signal.
Tonight's show is a repeat of an earlier show that I already reported
on. So with a very poor signal and the fact that it's a repeat I end
this report. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, March 9 at 0413-
0422 on R75 with E-W longwire tuning at 9 kHz steps, 1 kHz below TA
frequencies listening for 1 kHz hets: 531*, 549*, 558, 576, 585, 603,
612, 621(2), 639, 666(2), 684, 693*(2), 729, 738, 747, 756, 774(2),
783, 801, 837, 855*, 873, 882, 909, 936, 954, 999, 1026, 1044, 1053,
1089, 1116, 1152*, 1161, 1179, 1206, 1215, 1224, 1296, 1305(2), 1314
(2), 1413, 1422, 1521, 1539, 1575. *=stronger ones; (2) = at least two
carriers beating. One of my larger harvests. A few more were probably
blotted by IBOC noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15370, March 7 at 2046, RHC is in English and just barely
modulated. This Bauta frequency is supposed to be in French starting
at 2030; 15140 is also in English where it is supposed to be, but
overmodulated/distorted at S9+10. Anyhow, no spurs audible from
either. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

15370, March 7 at 2206, RHC by now is in proper Spanish, S9+5 but JBM,
yet the SSOB if not the OSOB. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 6060, March 8 at 0523, RHC in Spanish instead of
supposed-to-be-English after 0500, only S9+10 so not the usual bigsig;
and suffering a SAH from Qur`an, underneath as the Fribbath is
underway overthere. That`s Algeria via FRANCE at 04-06, only the first
hour supposed to be Qur`anic per Aoki, the second Network 1 in French
& Arabic. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

How about the other RHC English frequencies? *None* of them are any
good now: 6100 S9+10, 6000 S9 but both undermodulated; 6165 very poor
S8 with ACI from stronger 6170 VOA Hausa via ASCENSION! Somethings are
always wrong at RHC.

5040, March 8 at 0622, the final RHC hour here is also in English,
S9+20/30 but overmodulated/distorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13728.283V, March 8 at 1426, JBA carrier blob wobbling, and a
match on 13671.715V, spurs out of 13700-AM RHC, i.e. plus & minus
28.28+ kHz as also measured previously.

There could also be second-orders at plus/minus 56.56 kHz, the upper
clashing with WINB DRM noise 13755-13760, but its lower component
cannot be detected circa 13643 in the clear. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15700, March 8 at 1432, China Plus relay in English is S9+30
and suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15230, March 8 at 1433, RHC is S9+10 of dead air, maybe a
trace of modulation, while 15140 is too-loud & clear. By 1538 recheck,
15230 is modulating but distorting and crackling, about like 15140
during `Sonido Cubano`, tsk2, ruining an otherwise worthwhile music
show. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** JAPAN. 11815.0, March 8 at 1435, wild jazz from R. Japan in
Japanese service; S7-S8 with a heavy het from weaker Turkey off-
frequency 11815.7, but almost eliminated by AMF button on R75, better
by LSB-only tuning. Turkey off by 1500 so ``NHK Warudo`` ID and 3+1
resounding timesignal, // 9750 which had no such QRM. Then 11815 off
clearing for Qur`an from VOT; see Turkey (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** MALI. 5995, March 7 at 2214, S6-S7 very poor music, but must be
ORTM reactivated again after a few more days AWOL. Richard Langley
says it went off at 2230* instead of nominal previous schedule to 2400
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 11815.7, March 8 at 1502, VOT Turkish with Qur`an, Fribbath
vespers, in the clear after stronger NHK closed 11815.0 (see JAPAN). I
wonder if it`s live from the brand-new super-mosque which just opened
yesterday in Istanbul:
https://www.dailysabah.com/istanbul/2019/03/07/first-ever-prayer-held-at-turkeys-largest-mosque-in-istanbul
A report I saw said each minaret is dedicated to some war or another
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490.17v, UT Fri Mar 8 at 0103, WBCQ playing back an old
`Allan Weiner Worldwide` during an Available Time Slot
http://wbcq.com/schedule/index.php?fn=sked&freq=7490
--- and there was another(?) one three hours earlier sometime after
2200 as I tuned by March 7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5130.48v, UT Fri March 8 at 0109, this WBCQ is on, S9+10,
two guys conversing giving multiple platforms, mentioning Liberty
Radio, time for the Intel Report (subsexion?), 0113 pause to fulfill a
listener`s birthday music request from Kalkaska; refers to ``lower
49`` maybe implying this originate in Alaska? No, Kalkaska is a small
town and county in northern Michigan near Traverse City. Probably the
revived militia show, secretly shortwaving: Still *nothing* displayed
on the 5130 schedule
http://wbcq.com/schedule/index.php?fn=sked&freq=5130
between 0330 UT Wed and 0100 UT Sat.

3264.9, March 8 at 0115, this WBCQ can be detected as JBA carrier,
apparently always on but never usable here; and NO info about program
content:
http://wbcq.com/schedule/index.php?fn=sked&freq=3265
Others have indicated it relayed Pirate Joe`s WHVW; or the AM side of
WBCQ, WXME; or Timtron`s LP in Skowhegan ME, WXNE (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, Thu March 7 at 2208, JBA carrier, the Only Signal On
Band, must be KVOH running later than scheduled, but total loss as far
as we are concerned. Another look at skedgrid revised 1 Feb. shows
closings: 2005* M/W/F, 2200* Tue/Thu, 2100* Sat, and never on Sunday
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
