** ARGENTINA. 28490 USB, March 15 at 2210, LU8YE calling CQDX, CQ10.
VG signal. QRZ.com: ``LU8YE Argentina flag Argentina, RADIO CLUB DE
LOS ANDES, LOS PEHUENES 1 Y LAS RETAMAS, SAN MARTIN DE LOS ANDES -
PATAGONIA, NQ 8370, Argentina --- The Radio Club de los Andes, located
in the city of San Martin de los Andes, besides the Lanin National
Park with superb natural surroundings, offers big lakes and clear
water rivers. It is a beautiful tourist place, we invite you to visit
(video of our city).`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 28450 USB, March 15 at 2207, HJ3ESF, ``Munir, north of
Bogotá`` working a VE1 in NS, calling CQDX, VG signal. QRZ.com:
``HJ3ESF Colombia flag Colombia, Munir Saab, 20976 Sheridan St,
Fortlauderdale, FL 33332, USA`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, March 15 at 1635, JBA carrier into Missouri
remote, presumed pirate Hikari FM in Sonora or Arizona. So weak that
has trouble synchlocking onto it, but audible in USB if tuned to
11514.5. Also noticed direct at various times not always logged. Is
anyone getting enough signal for modulation monitoring? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Mar 15 at 2300, token English from SNR, VG
S9+30/40 into Maryland SDR. 2308 feature after news is pushback
against trend to eliminate AM radios, let alone SW, from cars, several
interviews. 2323 about celebrations in Spain for St. Patrick`s Day,
with some nice Irish music bits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960, March 15 at 2300, NO signal from VOT into
UTwente, and on 9610 only CNR Mongolian. At *2310.6, Xinjiang RTV
chops on 5960.000 mid-word in Chinese, its usual start time, breaking
squelch. No VOT for rest of hour. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler, std denunciations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28217.7 CW, March 15 at 2204, EEEEE DE WA1LAD/B --- Nothing
about a beacon on his qrz.com page: ``WA1LAD USA flag USA, GILBERT D
"Gil" WOODSIDE, III, 285 3rd Ave, Warwick, RI 02888, USA``

I keep trying WI5V website first for beacon lookups, but has been
inaccessible for at least two weeks. Anyone know what happened, or is
there some other new site being updated? At QRZ.com nothing new, in
fact his old announcement about taking over from WJ5O:

``WI5V USA flag USA, DENNIS C STICE, 5120 SW 125TH PL, OKLAHOMA CITY,
OK 73173 --- On January 20, 2018 I will assume the duties as the IARU
Region 2 Beacon Coordinator, as Bill, WJ5O, will be resigning from
this role. Bill has faithfully administered the duties and has been a
tremendous asset to so many Beaconers during his 10 year stint as IARU
Region 2 Beacon Coordinator. Now that I am retired from teaching grad
school and rehabilitation counseling, I will now have more time to
devote to my new role. The Official Beacon List can be seen here on my
website: wi5v.net `` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17680, Fri March 15 at 1657 tune-in via UTwente, open
carrier S9+10/20, 1700 R. Martí ID, nothing about VOA, and right into
program `La Libertad es una Librería` discussing Ukrainian poetry in
translation. That means bookshop, not library.

Before 1700 still no signal on 17865. Peter Hanson checked IBB
monitoring in ``Kiev`` showing that 17865 at 13-17 is for Sat & Sun,
17680 at 17-21 for M-F only. So on March 16 we should find it earlier
on the other frequency instead. Also, on March 15, Richard Langley
reported 17680 had run past 2100 on some unspecified date:

``An update: Listened to all of my 10-minute clips. There seemed to be
a VOA editorial near the top of the hour each hour (except the first
hour). At about 2104 UT, there was a version of the Ukrainian
patriotic song "Ой у лузі червона калина, romanized: Oi u luzi
chervona kalyna" (something like: "Oh, there is a red viburnum in the
meadow") in SPANISH! Most of us have heard various versions of this
song since the start of the war but perhaps not in Spanish. When
checking on the spelling of the song, I came across this version:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkMKYPWWmSY
Very nice, particularly the portions with brass instruments. The hour
continued past 2106 when my recording ended. So not signing off at
2100 according to the supposed schedule. Will extend my recordings to
see if there is a consistent s/off time. Slava Ukraini! -- Richard
Langley``

Volodya Salmaniw, BC, replied, ``Thanks for sharing, Richard! The song
was banned in the Soviet Union. As I recall, it was written during the
first world war but became popular with the Ukrainian Insurgent Army
during and after World War 2. As many Ukrainian songs are, it's
cryptic, describing how Ukraine, although broken, will arise again. We
learned it as children growing up in the diaspora. Always gives me a
lump in my throat. Walt``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST update

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

1) USA - WEWN: Updated label for link to frequencies as it now links
to current A-24 schedule [as expected, 12050 Spanish, 15610 English
which has been missing lately -gh]

2) USA - WINB: Updated links to frequency/programme pages

3) USA - WRMI: Updated links to WRMI frequency and programme page for
A-24 season

The next update is scheduled for late March. Best wishes and 73, Alan
Roe

** CUBA. 15140, March 14 at 1900, no signal from RHC English at summer
timing, only heard once so far, nor 11760. The Other Side:

``READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW March 8, 2024 OPINION
Raúl Castro: the general in his defeat

Erratic policies, produced by fear and devoid of objectives, have been
the hallmarks of this Raulian era, the perfect culmination of a regime
that is close to disappearing and that no one will miss.

Rafaela Cruz, La Habana 07 Mar 2024 - 20:12 CET

If pathological cowardice is mixed with intellectual vacuity, the
result is a Raúl Castro. This general with more stars on his
epaulettes than shots fired in combat - his command on the Second
Front was a kind of camping trip - would border on the pathetic if it
were not for the fact that while he basks in Cuba's best cays, the
people are scraping and struggling just to eat.

His late brother — the main character responsible for the country's
ruin— although racking up a string of disasters sufficient to fill an
encyclopedia of failure, at least had the ability to survive by
prostituting himself politically, monetizing his virulent ideology,
and exporting his totalitarian method. But Raúl cannot even manage
that...

** CUBA [non]. R. Martí: see U S A 17680

** HAWAII [and non]. 10000-10004 approx., March 14 at 0636, noise
blast QRMs WWVH, must tune for it on LSB. The Standard Frequencies are
supposed to be protected (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 5995, March 14 at 0639, still nothing but noise blob,
presumably out of defective ORTM transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD
OF RADIO 2234)

** U S A. 17865, March 14 from 1600, NO signal from Grimesland for R.
Martí. Will the 13-17 UT segment ever appear?

17680 open carrier is already on at 1653, S9+10/15 into UTwente. Very
rough start! 1700 still dead air. 1701 VOA WDC s/on with YDD - again
at 1702! after DA pause, at 1703 VOA WDC s/OFF. 1704 different s/off
with contact info for programming. 1704.5 VOA ID with YDD. 1705
disclaimer, no programming available, so music fill. Disclaimer
blaming on propagation conditions. Propagation OK, so resuming
programming. 1706 regrets there is no programming. 1707 VOA beginning
AFRTS! VOA finishing AFRTS. Dead air.

1708, finally R. Martí ID, and into program `La Libertad es Libro`,
featuring Ukrainian poetry in translation, but mostly discussing it.
1800 no ToH break. 1803 VOA Editorial: anti-Putin. 1808 back to
MartiNoticias. 1809 `Abriendo Espacios` women`s show. 1858 another VOA
Editorial. 2000 recheck, VOA editorial about Ukraine, again (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2234)

Comments from the WOR iog: Kai Ludwig, Germany: ``Nothing in HFCC so
far, and no publicity at the usual places either. "Abriendo Espacios"
as programme name is too generic for a web search without further
digging.

Is this Martí or rather VOA? Perhaps some kind of cooperation, but
still one could ask if this is a playout from Miami or Washington.

And why not from either Biblis or Lampertheim, which would provide
significantly better reception? They keep churning out 5.7 million
dollar each year for these meanwhile badly underused facilities. I
think I asked already some kind ago what kind of strategy this is, or
if they have any beyond "we always did it this way" at all.

So no one in Russia and Ukraine will listen to shortwave anymore, but
mercenaries from Cuba will? To a sub-standard signal, delivered over
almost 9,000 kilometres? Made my day. Kai Ludwig``

Bill Tilford, IN: ``It wasn't all that far back that Martí was
broadcasting DRM to Cuba. They are never given an Oinker Award but
have been a worthy candidate for years - an operation in search of a
mission. Personally, I think the most plausible explanation for their
existence is a place to hide part of the black budget. Just a theory,
but a good one methinks``

Tony Pavick, BC: ``I have a slightly noisy but fairly understandable
signal. Discussion with a university professor talking about writing a
diary about Ukraine to tell the world about what is happening.

This is a really fascinating undertaking. While some may question its
effectiveness, the thought of targeting deployed Cuban troops with R
Marti in some form where it won't be jammed as at home is intriguing.
In a sense this is a bit like Radio Atlántico del Sur and Argentina's
Liberty. Tony``

Another commented: ``It`s a joke`` (via WORLD OF RADIO 2234)

** U S A. 9395 // 9455, March 14 at 0633 Korean, 0634 into English,
i.e. Supreme Master TV. Now at this hour and a few other WRMI blox
sked on two System J frequencies instead of just one. Its
unpredictable multi-lingual format with no translation captions
possible makes it quite a turnoff for radio listeners; besides its
cultish devotion to the SM, however laudable its environmental outlook
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, March 14 at 0638, R. Vanuatu is JBA vs noise level,
totalling S9+20; at least confirming it`s on as you never know when it
will vanish. Ron Howard logs it in detail most nights (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

SWAZILAND [and non] 9585 kHz on March 13 at 1518 UT, FMish blob unread-

able but cadence of talk, atop JBA AM carrier, i.e. listed TWR in Malagasy

at 1455-1525 UT Mon-Fri but French on weekends. Probably remnant by long-

path. Blob could be spur of bigsig nearby? Modpeaks do not match blaster

9980kHz WWCR TOMBS. Could be of local origin? Then should be constant, but

nonesuch at 1727 UT recheck.

SWAZILAND [and non] 9585, March 13 at 1518, FMish blob unreadable
but cadence of talk, atop JBA AM carrier, i.e. listed TWR in Malagasy
at 1455-1525 M-F but French on weekends. Probably remnant by longpath.
Blob could be spur of bigsig nearby? Modpeaks do not match blaster
9980 WWCR TOMBS. Could be of local origin? Then should be constant,
but nonesuch at 1727 recheck.

Logs
** CANADA. 28301 CW, March 13 at 2216, VVV DE VE3CKN/B -- and long
pauses between repeats. Strangely, the OBOB in a quick bandscan. WI5V
beacon list still inaccessible, but in the WJ5O list not updated since
2016y?: ``28.3002 VE3CKN ? GLOUCESTER, ONT, CANADA # ?,?
Un-coordinated beacon reported Dec 12``. But QRZ.com: ``VE3CKN Canada
flag Canada, Donald Greene, 139 CURTIS PVT, GLOUCESTER, ON K1V 7L7,
Canada. Good Day All, The VE3CKN/B is a 10m beacon using a HTX-100, 5
watts into a Butternut HF6V. Also a 40m beacon using a Vectronics 40m
CW Transmitter 1 watt and a CW IDer. 73' Don (ve3ckn at gmail . com)``
WTF,K? No offence, but I`ve always felt Gloucester be a rather ugly
name for any place; not even indexed in my Rand McNally. Where is it?
Just SE of Ottawa now absorbed into that more euphonious city (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 15680, March 13 at 2159 open carrier S7/S9, 2200 KSDA AWR
English ID, following program in Dayak. Believe it or not, this is the
SSOB, or at least roughly equal to offside 15770 WRMI aimed NE. As to
be expected, HFCC shows 100 kW aimed WSW = 255 degrees, so how do they
manage such a signal over here? Ideal propagation pipeline? Hardly
anything else on band from PacAsia. Shows lang is Nij which per
readme at EiBi is: ``NJ Ngaju Dayak: Indonesia-Borneo (0.9m)[nij]``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 5995, March 13 at 0651, non-DRM noiseblob again S9+25 and no
program audio from ORTM. Zacharias Liangas also monitored this today
via Canary SDR:

``5995 today a strong noise white type jammer kills reception of a
station airing stringed music. Sign off together with the noise at
0759. Listen here``
https://app.box.com/s/fyxetlzkl6sbi5nsmd5j0wvyopukcc98

On the recording both stop at the same time just before 0759, so I
still think the noise is from ORTM itself rather than external
``jamming`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1120, Mar 13 at 2214 UT, no signal, trying
the refurbished Wellbrook loop; nor on the internal shortwire, yet JBA
carrier daytime from NE or TX on 1110. Suspect KETU Catoosa = Tulsa
mkt in Spanish, be off. Licensed 10 KW D4, CH 7 kW. D4 means two
different patterns for day and critical hours. Never a bigsig here.
Day pattern favors N/S with a notch to the NW but we are close to due
west. CH pattern almost identical but a bit smaller, both also with a
notch toward KMOX. Recheck at 2305-2310 UT on two other radios, still
no KETU --- but with the DX-398 I do get a DF fix on the horrible line
noise level, totally different than the source a mile or so away that
OG&E repaired a few months ago. Then I`m getting a JBA 1120 carrier
from the direxion of KMOX. I reported KETU a lot in 2022y but not
2023y, yet I think it was mostly there last year. Nor have I found any
FCC news about it from IRCA in 2023 or 2024 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, K17JN-D, still misIDing due to someone`s stupid
typo as K17JI-D, March 13 at 1533 UT: I am bandscanning during
enhanced tropo reception. Signal here is diminished no doubt due to DX
interference, but as I go thru the channels this one displays as 17-3
3ABN-IN! Yet it`s black and silent. See my Feb 11 report in detail of
what`s on this transmitter, Enid`s only local TV signal. At that time
it was simply NO SIGNAL, not 3ABN-IN. I have no idea what sub-network
that indicate, but it`s obviously useless. Just like Feb 11, there
*is* a signal on 17-3 but it`s black and silent. And I can`t get the
3ABN-IN PSIP to display again.

Rabbitears.info is still mostly outdated for this, ignoring the update
I sent more than a month ago. FWIW, for 17-3 it says call sign is
SmrtLfS, sic cases, and Network/Programming of Hope Channel.

Meanwhile I was getting BAD signals on many of the `open` UHF channels
and some VHF. The only one decoding was usual RF 20, KQCW ``19`` Tulsa
market (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11915, March 13 at 1512, buzzroar from defective
transmitter, S6/S7 direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SWAZILAND [and non]. 9585, March 13 at 1518, FMish blob unreadable
but cadence of talk, atop JBA AM carrier, i.e. listed TWR in Malagasy
at 1455-1525 M-F but French on weekends. Probably remnant by longpath.
Blob could be spur of bigsig nearby? Modpeaks do not match blaster
9980 WWCR TOMBS. Could be of local origin? Then should be constant,
but nonesuch at 1727 recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.002, March 13 at 2339, VOT music S9+30/45
into UTwente, so not off the air. Tnx to DST, 6pm CDT is a less
convenient time for me vs. PBS NewsHour, so I also missed tokEnglish
from Spain completely again. 2343, weekly `Sports Panorama`, mainly
stupid ballgame, football. Could not understand team names even if I
cared. 2349 `ABYS` promo, music. 2354 TRTWorld promo, s/off for the
1330 emission only, about 9 notes of IS before 2355* chopoff
uncovering XJRTV in Chinese, std. genocidal denunciations (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 17865, March 13 at *1649, continuous OTH radar
clickery cuts on. I have been monitoring this via UTwente since 1544,
as it`s on the GB-6 schedule for R. Martí, 250 kW, 45 degrees for
Ukraine at 13-17 UT, same parameters as 17680 at 17-20 -- but 17865
for that obviously not yet activated.

17680, March 13 at 1658, into UTwente, S9/+20 open carrier is on. I`m
distracted by other things at ToH but modulation starts at 1700 in
unknown language, not Spanish or Ukrainian, wrong program input! 1701
switches to Martinoticias. Again today all the content seems to be
about the Russian war on Ukraine, and Cuban involvement. At 1723
refers to this? being a podcast - rather than `live` programing like
for Cuba itself on usual lower bands.

Richard Langley has more info about that:

``On 16 February, there was an article in the Wall Street Journal
entitled "How Russia Recruits Soldiers From Cuba to Fight in Ukraine;
Eager to escape Communist island's poverty, Cubans are joining Russian
army." In that article, we find:

"Ambassador Ruslan Spirin, Ukraine's special representative to Latin
America and the Caribbean, said the government believes that about 400
Cubans are fighting in the country. 'We take it seriously,' he said.

"Others think the numbers go higher. Maryan Zablotskyi, a member of
the Ukrainian parliament who has studied the issue, estimates that
between 1,500 and 3,000 Cubans have enlisted as the island's
state-controlled economy crumbles."

The whole article is quite interesting but is behind a paywall unless
you have a WSJ subscription or access through a university library,
etc. -- Richard Langley`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2233 monitoring: ``From: Richard
Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening
Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees,
Dear Glenn: Update, confirming WOR #2233, WRMI:
5850, 0144 (55433-4), confirmed 0159, March 9 UTC 2024 [Sat]
9395, 2330, 2344, 2358 (45433), 2359, March 12 UTC 2024 [Tue]
(Lemke, Richard -AB) 73’s, Richard``

Confirmed Tuesday March 12 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+15/25 into
Missouri SDR.

Also confirmed Wednesday March 13 at 1415 the secret 1400 on WRMI
9955, S7/9+5 direct. Last week March 6, before the one-hour-earlier
DSTimeshift, music aired instead after 1500, so I thought it was
canceled. Continues on A24 sked to show at 1400 Thursdays instead,
when it had not been airing at 1500.

Also confirmed Wednesday March 13 at 2035 the 2030, S9/+10 into
UTwente from SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002.

Before 2100 March 13, I asked about relying on the WBCQ 7490 play for
WOR, and how is reception so far into the daytime? No replies so far.
Here, not even tried, but into Maryland SDR it was sufficient S9/+10
on 7489.946. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW [ex-0230]
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975

** U S A. 12160, March 13 at 1515, WWCR with gospelhuxters at S9+40
and a squeal on this transmitter, both the USB and LSB sides, evitable
by narrowing bandwidth (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WTWW: George McClintock informs me at 2040 March 13: 9475
tested OK today for 30 minutes, plans to start regular broadcasts
sometime next week, hours not set. Still messing with modulation
cards. 5085 will be full 100 kW for first time tonight. The sagging
transmission line has been raised so now safely out of reach (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 891 kHz, March 13 at 0648, only TA carrier this late
among lower spots checked such as 684, 711, 774, 855, is 891, surely
the 300/100 kW ALGERIA, but again it has a slow beat SAH signifying
one other station. Surely it`s too late into the dayside for any
others of considerable power in mwlist: Ethiopia, Iran, Lesotho,
Sudan, Turkey. Could Eurafricans check on this? Could there really be
a second synchro transmitter in Algeria? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
