** 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,

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.

** 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,

Sorry, I was in too big a hurry and omitted the subject line. Since that causes bounces by some recipients, here is the whole thing again. Glenn
** BRAZIL. 4885, March 10 at 2348, no signal from R. Clube do Pará
into three remotes, Pardinho, Brasília, Goiânia, nor a couple hours
later. Checking because of this item in NASWA Flashsheet:

``4885 BRAZIL. Rádio Clube do Pará, Belém, 3.6.25. weak but in the
clear here at 1010 well before the Korean fades in to take over the
fqy a little later on. OM with extended talks in PP. Nice to hear
again. Checked their website stream just to make sure and indeed //
(Ralphus W Perry – IL) {Hasn’t been heard in some time. – Ed. Mark
Taylor}``

Still nothing direct at 0638 March 11 on 4885. But happened to awaken
March 11 at 1011 UT and found a signal on 4885, S9+5, mostly talk with
some music bits, too weak to be certain of language but seemed more
like Portuguese than Korean.

Pará used to be all-night and should be on prime-time if serious. I`ve
brought this to attn of Rudolf Grimm, who recently ran a list of
active ZYs, not including this one. His reply:

``Hi Glenn, I'll take a look. I checked on the Rádio Clube do Pará
website and found that the only frequency currently in use is FM
(106.9 MHz).

I remember reading a while ago about the deactivation of RCP for both
medium waves (690 kHz) and the tropical band (4885 kHz).

It was made official. But the website doesn't mention use of MW and
tropical bands. There is no current positive reference on the Tudo
Radio website, nor on radios.com.br. It only mentions FM
transmission.

Based on your information, the recent listening time of RCP in
tropical waves coincides with the usual time of football matches in
Brazil.

{?? No, that was around 7 am local --- gh}

However, there is one fact to consider in this aspect that you report:
for some time now, we have had the occasional resurgence of Rádio
Cultura de Araraquara, 3365 kHz (remember this station?), even after
the deactivation of this frequency, on the days/nights of the
broadcast of soccer matches of Ferroviária FC, the city's main sports
team, only during the game times. At the end of the match, the 90 m
transmitter was put back to sleep until the next match of this team.

Today, March 11, the main team of Belém, Remo FC, plays tonight
against the team Criciuma FC, in a match for the 2025 Brazilian
Championship - Series C.
It is possible that the frequency of 4885 kHz will be used
extraordinarily. There is no reliable information. It is worth
observing from 2040 UTC to 0200 UTC today, according to the portal:
https://radioclube.dol.com.br/
73, Rudolf`` 4885, March 11 at 2242, nothing on 4885 into Brasília SDR
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHAD [non]. 9535, March 11 at 0647, S4/S6 with flutter, music and
talk in uncertain language but one of better signals on band. EiBi
shows R. Ndarason International, in Kanuri via Woofferton UK, at
0600-0700. Similar signal quality on 9790, RFI from Issoudun (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN [non]. 15130, March 10 at 2058, S7/S9 in Japanese, OOFSOB =
one of few signals on band. It`s NHK via FRANCE to CAf at 19-21 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. ``FCC Grants & Actions for Monday March 10: K288FX 105.5
North Enid OK Silent 1/30, antenna system failure`` (via Mike Bugaj,
CT, WTFDA) Yes, still off as of March 10 and so is 91.1 KKRD at same
site in North Enid [non =  plain old Enid downtown], but nothing about
it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11934.893+, March 11 at 2037, Rep. of Yemen Radio,
Arabic, still with heavy buzz. Ed Sylvester explains on the WOR iog:
``I live in Riyadh and have had meetings with SBA. At that time (early
2024), they were on the fence as to whether to continue.

The transmitters/antennas are currently in a sector of Riyadh that has
been designated for future housing projects. Hence, the government
will either fund a move or have them shut down permanently.

Because there has not been funding to date, they are cannibalizing
older transmitters for replacement parts to at least keep Yemen radio
on the air.

Saudi Arabia is in the midst of full bore modernization in all sectors
and DAB+ has been touted as the new medium for widespread
broadcasting. They also rely on high-powered MW broadcasters that can
be heard throughout the region.

The future of SW broadcasting seems bleak in KSA as surveys of
listenership have been spotty and unconvincing. Will know more in the
coming months. Fingers crossed. 73, Ed 7Z1ES`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Mon Mar 10 at 2300, token English from SNR, VG into
Maryland SDR, better than 17715 better than 17755 much better than
nothing on 12030. Preview topic to be about Irish in Madrid
celebrating St Patrick`s Day already all week, not just Saturday? That
would be Ides of Mar, 15. First news item about debating defending
Ukraine; 2306 into feature (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, March 10 at 2259, NO signal from VOT into UTwente;
possible overrun alternative, 9610, bears Mongolian from China only.
By 2320, 5960 has a bigsig S9/+10, but it`s Chinese, as Urumqi starts
at odd time of *2310 per Aoki. Something`s erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9610.022+, March 11 at 2250, S9+40 into UTwente with VOT
multi-lingual ID filler reel, nothing on 5960. 2252 s/off in Italian!
That must be on the web at 2230, but the only Italian SWBC is supposed
to be at 0930-1000 on 11970, per WRTH! Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler. Considerable CCI from China making a rippling SAH. 2253 VOT
IS plays until finally off at 2257*. Still no signal on 5960 but I`m
QRX on it:

*2258 March 11, 5959.999- cut on at S9+40/45 with IS and English ID.
2300 TS and s/on English as if it were 13635 at 1330: something`s
always awry at Ankara. And into olds, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2285 monitoring: confirmed Monday
March 10 at 2030.6 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.003-, S9/+10 into

Also confirmed Tuesday March 11 at 1300 & again at 1400 on WRMI 9955,
S6/S8 direct.

Also confirmed Tuesday March 11 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,

UNIDENTIFIED. 21580, March 10 at 2054, S6/S8 open carrier is the OSOB,
except for again some DRMish noise centred on 21485. Nothing in HFCC,
EiBi or Aoki, suspect China for both. RFI does use 21580 a lot, but
not between 19 and 07 UT. The 13m SWBC band is drastically
underutilized, even now circa solar max. I`ve noticed some
intermittent SSB within too, intruders or mistuned hams? (Glenn

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.

** 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. 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,
related or not to the even 300 kHz intervals? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 8918 USB, March 10 at 0626, ATC comms, mentions 0625,
how copy? EiBi shows shared among Gander, New York and Piarco =
Trinidad (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
