** NORTH AMERICA. 7325 USB, March 28 at 0630, S4/S5 pop music vs S8/S5
storm noise level direct; lower level modulation also when tuned to
7325 LSB. Checking since on WOR iog the Russian ethnic pirate from NV?
has been reported here, ex 4015 USB. That is, восточная звезда or if
your display can`t handle Cyrillic, Vostochnaya Zvezda = Eastern Star,
presumably nothing to do with an American women`s Christian group, but
no ID heard by me.

First reported by Ron Howard on March 27: ``UNID. 7325-USB, 0956-0957
UT. I often check this frequency in the hope that Wantok Radio Light
(PNG) will reactivate, but I never heard anything before 0957, so I
was very surprised to hear a station only in USB, playing a pop song
till totally blocked by the start of CRI at *0957. Is this a pirate or
what? My audio -

Ron California``

Lucas Bandura, BC, replied at 2130: ``Ron, I reposted your 7325 USB
log on the HFU in case anyone there would know anything about it or
stay up late enough to check. Big Badfish Al wrote: “Vostochnaya
Zvezda most likely since they are no longer on 4015 USB and had the
same playlist.”``

Lucas at 2135: ``I am listening on the KFS SE KiwiSDR now, good S3.
Much better frequency than 4015! Listeners outside of the US Southwest
might have a chance at hearing it now, we will see when night comes.
On 4015 it could not be heard at any SDR sites during the day.``

Walt Salmaniw, BC, replied: ``Hopefully a much better choice as 4015
barely made it to Masset. I’d like to see a daytime frequency as
well!73, Walt``

Lucas replied at 2148 March 27: ``Token in California on the HFU
reported hearing YHWH on 11560 AM three times during his first week of
being active in 2023 but I have been checking that frequency daily and
heard only legal stations. I will ask Token sometime if he has heard
him there since. A daytime frequency would be great for VZ. I am
guessing he is much like the Northeast pirates; they use NVIS antennas
and don’t really care if they make it outside their region since that
is outside their target area.``

Ron Howard at 2309 UT March 27: ``Thanks very much to Amano for his
input regarding my 7325-USB (Vostochnaya Zvezda [Eastern Star])
reception, after he listened to my audio. Ron:

"00:00-01:25[on my audio clip], this song is Russian popular music.
«Магнитная Aномалия» Алло Стелла.
“Magnetic Anomaly“ by Allo Stella.
YouTube - https://youtu.be/6eK2C_Hvd2Q .
Amano, Saitama, Japan"``

Walt: ``Yes, exactly the same. The childish voice at 04:14 is the same
as heard on 4015, and also the clips that Lucas provided earlier. I
can't make out what the child says at all. Shazam also isn't able to
ID any of the music played in the last 10 minutes or so.``

At 0437 March 28, from Lucas Bandura, BC: ``Very, very weak here at
0330 UT. As Walt said the same child voice in a non-English language
is heard and the music format is the same. No identifications over
about an hour of listening. The audio is still restricted to 2.5 kHz
but the bad splatter can be seen on the KFS SE KiwiSDR when the signal
gets up to S9+10. The splatter covers about 7320-7330 kHz. A bit
distorted so I think he needs to turn the audio input down.``

Gary Pence to the WOR iog at 0351: ``EX station 4015 khz is on right
now On 7325 khz USB S7-S9 KPH Point Reyes, California --- Hi Glenn,
also heard same signal profile on S. Nev. Radio Ranch. Got to be the
same guy that was on 4015 khz``

Salmaniw at 0448: ``Not a great frequency, especially due to the
splatter from very powerful 7335 which is Radio Martí? Best to head
lower by 10 or 50 kHz, or higher somewhere. Walt``

Bandura at 0455: ``Yes, 7335 is Radio Martí. I agree that he could
find a better frequency, but at least it’s a huge improvement over
4015 USB.``

Bandura at 0632: ``He is now being heard fairly strong across North
America, but the Radio Martí slop is really bad.``

And Bandura at 0700: ``I have created a new page on the HFU Wiki for
this station:
https://www.hfunderground.com/wiki/index.php/Vostochnaya_Zvezda
Anyone with an account on the HFU can edit the wiki or you can post
information that should be added to the page and I will add it.``

** PERU. 4820, March 28 at 0657, JBA carrer; and no Chazuta 4810 now.
Further research about this Radio Integridad:

RAFAEL RODRIGUEZ, Colombia, March 23, translation: ``4820 kHz UNID,
after 0100 UT the signal that my colleague Auguste [sic] Galaz
reported since March 17 as Radio Integridad is reaching me. At the
moment with Andean praise music and something that seems to be a
vernacular locution and with sounds of "Windows" in the middle of the
songs. It is clear that it is not rebroadcasting the Radio Integridad
signal at this time, confirmed with its online audio. The MTC of Perú
{as of year 2005! gh} registers a station authorized to operate on
this frequency (OAW-6C) from Arequipa, but it also registers others
that are not active, so it is hasty to say that it is the same.``

On March 27: ``[WOR] Possible Identity of new 4820 Khz from Perú ---
Hi, Marcos C. from Vicuña, Chile here. I have not written here in many
years but here is something interesting for you:

I read some days ago about a new Peruvian on 4820 Khz thanks to fellow
DXer Claudio Galaz and I found some info about this new station. I
heard the station just now and they were not relaying RRI (Red Radio
Integridad) but Radio Integridad from Trujillo, La Libertad.

Here is some short clip where they identified themselves as "Radio
Integridad 105.7 FM, La Voz que glorifica a dios" at 00:52 UTC
https://soundcloud.com/madseason2o1o/radio-integridad-trujillo-la-libertad-4820-khz-0052-utc-27-03-2023
The station ended the broadcast around 02:05 UTC. There is more info
in Spanish here``

Nueva Estacion de Onda Corta en Perú por los 4820 Khz
Ha aparecido una nueva estación de Onda Corta en Perú.

Esta nueva estación de Radio de Onda Corta transmite por los 4820 Khz
que hasta ahora por las noches se ha escuchado que retransmite a Radio
Integridad de Trujillo, La Libertad, Perú con programación cristiana
con programas como "Aviva nuestros corazones" de Nancy de Moss y
también programas de Radio Transmundial

En el siguiente clip puedes escuchar la identificación a las 00:52 UTC
del 27 de Marzo de 2023

Según el MTC (Ministerio de Transportes y Comunicaciones) de Perú en
ambos listados de frecuencias autorizadas y registro nacional de
frecuencias, aparece autorizada una estación de radio por los 4820 Khz
pero en Cotahuasi, Arequipa.

La persona que registró esta frecuencia también registró una adicional
por los 99.9 FM, en esa frecuencia transmite una estación religiosa
llamada Radio Senda Cristiana que transmite hace varios años por esa
frecuencia FM.

Podría ser que esta estación de Radio es Radio Senda Cristiana que
transmite desde Cotahuasi, Arequipa? Hasta ahora lo único seguro es
que retransmite a Radio Integridad desde Trujillo, La Libertad.
Publicado por Mr Dx Chile en 23:11``

``Tnx, Marcos, good to hear from you. I guess this Integridad may not
be related to the Red, not on their station list:
https://rri.pe/emisoras-rri.html
They do have a different FM station in La Libertad, Pacasmayo on 90.9
Glenn``

Marcos: ``apparently not, because they don't mention Red Radio
Integridad neither in their website nor their facebook page``

Bryan Clark, March 28 at 0517: ``Here in the north of New Zealand,
I've been hearing a weak signal on 4820 since 0450 UT today. Now, at
0515 I am hearing it quite well on my WinRadio SDR.

Checking KiwiSDRs in South America before 0500, I heard an
identification for Radio Integridad and the Peruvian anthem just
before the hour. After the hour it appears to be carrying a syndicated
Christian news programme. I found a matching webstream for Radio
Integridad Trujillo as well. The SDR Alpha Corral LU1HCW is providing
a good clean signal. If the station runs overnight it will be a
reasonably easy catch for DXers in the South Pacific. Regards, Bryan,
Mangawhai NZ``

Lucas Bandura: ``Still no mention of 4820 kHz on their website. Has
anyone tried emailing them, r_integridad@yahoo.com to ask about the
new frequency?``

Bruce Churchill, California: ``UNID Peruvian heard quite well on 28
Mar on 4820 from SDR in W. Iceland from 0633 to 0703 with relay of
Radio Integridad in Trujillo (as indicated by Bryan this program was
parallel to web stream for Radio Integridad 105.7 FM). S3 to S4 on
SINPO scale. Missionary stations in LA typically use their own
transmitters such as R Chaski and R Logos – so the real question is,
is this station departing from the pattern and leasing (or using)
someone else’s transmitter? In any case, well heard both in Iceland
and NZ so likely not a low-power operation. I did e-mail the station
per Lucas’s suggestion. We’ll see. Bruce``

I hope this roundup has been helpful. Maybe sometime I shall hear more
than a JBA carrier, myself (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. Habitually I had been listening to VOT English at 2300 on
5960 via UTwente, where I could be sure of a loud & clear signal -
except for some CCCCCCI. Now at 2200 on 11785, it should arrive better
to deep North America. So I try it direct, March 28: 2158, IS playing
with English IDs, S8/9+20 with quite a lot of pumping fading but no
QRM. No problem from 11780 if that`s Brasil, S3/S6. Timesignal at 2200
is 2.5 seconds late compared to WWV! After s/on citing only four
*other* English emissions, news items include demos in France, PKK
terrorists, bus accident in Sa`udi Arabia, Nashville school shootings.
2207 `Review of the Turkish Press`; 2210 music; 2214 promo VOT in 41
languages on website, `Weekly Commentary` by a prof at Manchester
Univ, about WHO, cholera rates, Bangladesh, but read by extreme
accentedess, so I try 26110, see USA. And 28183, see Mexico. Back on
UTwente S9+30/35 at 2249 to catch the multilingual ID reel filler;
2252 s/off with 4 other broadcasts only, 2254* off before IS can be
completed even once. Something`s always awry at Ankara, erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 26110 NBFM, March 28 at 2216, KMK282 is on, weather info for
Sacramento and The Valley, steady S9, very gradual fade to S8; ends at
2217 with vamp musiic, now S7, 2218 dead air, and autocutoff at
2218.5. No doubt will be back off and on. That means local news on
KOVR or KMAX at 3:16 local time, or a pre-recording (Glenn Hauser, OK,

Only JBA carriers March 27 at 0017 on 17560, 17580, 17880. HFCC: 17560
USAGM Tinang, Philippines in Chinese, ergo also jammed; 17580 CNR from

Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 6000, March 27 at 0028, will RHC be in English here
as early as 0000 in summer? No, undermodulated Spanish at S9+20/30 and
6165 is not on. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 9700, unlisted
frequency from RHC recently in Spanish or English is now occupied by
VG Romania in Spanish at 02-03 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, March 27 at 0631, R. Rebelde S9+20/30 but distorted.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9884.958, March 27 at 0027, dead air of S9/+15 direct,
something new about to sign on? No, still dead past 0100. Suspect it`s
Radio Cairo since also -42v Hz off frequency; and indeed ERTU is in
HFCC A23 on 9885 as 2330-0045 to CIRAFs 13 & 15 from Abis, 125 kW, 252
degrees in Arabic. At 0059 I try Maryland SDR, where it`s S9+10/20 and
-45 Hz offset. Still going at 0115, but cuts off at 0116*.

I suspect it has finally switched to 9860, which was supposed to start
at 0045 in Spanish until 0200. I retune immediately at 0116 to 9860
and there it is, same signal level, same dead air, same offset until
cuts off at 0207*. For further checking, also A23 sked: 2115-2245
still 9440 English, 2215-2330 9900 Portuguese. Obviously two
transmitters would have to be working at 2215-2245 if both were to be
simulheard, unlikely. One of them used to be about +2.5 kHz (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 17460, March 27 at 1522, algo JBA but stronger
than JJBBA on 17480. Presumably one is Dengê Welat and the other the
Turkish jammer. FWIW, HFCC A23 shows nothing on 17460, 17470 or 17480,
but somestuff somewhen on 17475, 17485, 17490.

At 1800 into UTwente, two very strong on 17470 & 17480 not QRMing each
other; I hardly care which be which. At 1847, still separate, 17470
much stronger. But by 1905 both on 17480 making a fast SAH. UTwente
Synch reads +6 Hz, and then +10. Songs are dominant, but still could
be either.

Next check UTwente at 2038: they are separate again, both quite
weakened into the night: 17470 talk, 17480 music. Then at 2040, 17480
starts declaiming, I guess Recep? No, at 2044 on 17470 a music liner
like I hear on VOT English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 13840, March 27 at 0632, RNZP is here ex-13755, just
as VG, S9+20/30. HFCC A23 as of today shows it registered available
1830-0800. On RNZP own sked, only: 0559-0858, but DRM at 1859-2058.
Why move off 13755? Nothing between 1600 & 0900. Adjacents? On 13760,
nothing 06-09; on 13750 only Romania Sundays only 07-08. But:

``13840 kHz suffers from co-channel QRM {from what??} between
0600-0800 UT. I have checked my own KiwiSDR, as well as KiwiSDRs in
Kyushu Japan and Indonesia. However, it seems that it does not affect
the listeners in Australia and the Pacific and the QRM are too
noticeable. yogi_miaow (QTH Hong Kong)`` on the WOR iog (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 18, March 27 circa 1600 UT, SCRIPPS non-cable news
channel is now on virtual 62-5 via KOPX OKC, just switched from 62-6,
why? And it was originally on 62-7. I check the entire lineup per PSIP
labels:
62-1 ION
62-2 Bounce
62-3 CourtTV
62-4 Grit
62-5 SCRIPPS
62-5 Jewelry
62-7 ShopLC
62-8 HSN
Rabbitears.info already shows same lineup; also icon that 62-1
transmits secondary audio, something I have not explored in a long
time. Pressing the SAP button on the STB remote makes it toggle
between English and Spanish labels -- but both are speaking English
only, during the commercials running when I try at 1740 UT, and still
so when back to `Criminal Minds` drama.

My old Set Top Box remembers to intersperse some other virtual 62s out
of RF47: I don`t even remember what that was. But searching out a
2014y log of mine, that fits for KSMO-TV in Kansas City. Now that`s
one of the still few ATSC 3.0 stations I could not decode, on RF 32,
virtual 62 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** ROMANIA. I don`t have RRI`s A23 frequencies memorized, but soon
encounter them in bandscanning: March 26 at 0020 in English on 11620,
S9/+20, and at 0025 on // 9550, S9/+10 but low het perhaps Brasil. In
Romanian, at 0022 on 11945 equal level to 11620; // 9730, S9+10/20
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. At 2046 March 27 I check UTwente for SNR reception, not
expecting the best as it`s generally too close for HF skips: NO signal
on 17855 for NAm, but 17715 for SAm has weak sig. 15520 for ME is fair
- and no CubaRM; 11670 for Af is best but with squeal, always the
worst in NAm. Then I check Virginia SDR: 17855 is indeed OFF - great
start for the season with English coming up at 2200 ex-2300; 17855 was
on *March 26, Englishless Sunday. In VA, 17715 is S4/S7 about equal to
15520 as `Españoles en la Mar` hour is concluding.

From 2202 I`m trying again for English: still no 17855 anywhere; 15520
is sufficient to Maryland SDR, S5/S9, and I stick here since it`s a
very interesting interview about the Spanish language with someone
from Scotland who is a member of the Real Academia Española, Alexis
Furman? Spanish is now the second-most spoken language in the world
after Mandarin, by 600 megapeople including 500M native speakers. EUA
will soon be second-largest SS country after México, overtaking
Argentina, Spain. Is now official language in 20 countries, adding
Guinea Ecuatorial. Is easy to learn, very logical, unlike English et
al. Discussion of keeping accents, including a few cases where they
are used to distinguish `same` words with different meanings such as
solo vs sólo, mas vs más. Each SS country has its own Academy and they
all coöperate with the RAE. A congress this year has been quickly
rearranged by Spain due to unrest in Perú (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAJIKISTAN. 13809.966, March 27 at 1518, JBA talk off-frequency.
HFCC A23 shows at 1500-1700, USAGM Chinese Mandarin via DB site. A
jammer would probably be more accurate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, March 26 at 2157 I`m all set for VOT`s new English
to N America frequency, via Maryland SDR. Nothing until chops on
slightly late about *2200:20 as horribly accented YL is reading
schedule. No problem from 11780 Brasil - weak signal there, might not
even be on. Mainly listening to UBMP this hour, I catch her horribly
accented sign/off at 2253 when she cites only four English broadcasts
with new times and frequencies in jumbled presentation, not including
this one! 1230-1330 15450; 1830-1930 5945 Eu; 2030-2130 9875 SAs;
1630-1730 11660 ME. Chopped off at 2254* before IS can complete only
once. Something`s awry in Ankara, erroneous in Emirler.

Quick check March 27 at 2201: 11785 is VG into UTwente, but some
splash from 11775 Chinese, also VG into Maryland SDR, but I`m mainly
escuching Spain, the two insisting on Englishing us at sametime. At
least there is no more CCCCCCI on 11785 like there was on 5960.
Sign-off and presumably sign-on continues to omit this very broadcast,
rather four others. Once off by 2254, Brasil is a bigsig on 11780, but
not a problem earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. 12095, March 27 at 1528, B-B-C chimes at S8/S9, 1529.5

The next update is scheduled for next week (for end of DST in
Aus/NZ).
Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe

** ALGERIA [and non]. 17600, March 26 at 1507, no signal from TDA, but
algo on 17605. That would be Vatican site, while HFCC A23 now shows
Béchar 17600 only at 09-11 & 18-21:

21550, March 26 at 1509, Qur`an and Arabic talk, as TDA Béchar is now
here at 1100-1800, 300 kW at 131 degrees. It`s the OSOB except for
algo on 21690, surely France in Swahili (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Mar 25 checking for LRA36 already
confirmed on air this Sat from 2055: Not audible at 2226 direct, but a
trace S1/S2 = noise level at 2310 on my N/S antenna. 2312 music; 2327
JBA, but no signal into Argentine remote by 2333. 2336, o there it is,
JBA even there, maybe the remote acting up. Others reporting it past
0230 Mar 26 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 1610 kHz, March 26 at 0637-0638 UT, dead air obviously from
CHHA, again, and probably long before & after (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. 11675, March 26 at 1511, Chinese with CCI: this
hour now sked is USAGM in Mandarin via Saipan, so CNR1 jamming (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, March 26 at 0622, RHC English S9+20 with sufficient
modulation, all other frequencies off. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 13605, March 26 at 1501, R. Martí on A-season
channel, ex-13820 where the wall-of-noise jamming remains, none heard
yet on 13605. Stupid Cuban Commies never catch on to these totally
predictable seasonal changes, same for years (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. Reason for my standard denunciations of XJPBS and
CRI relays via Urumqi or Kashgar, ``Land of imperialist ChiCom
genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems`` ---

``March 23, 2023 --- Hearing on Uyghur Forced Labor Camps in China

Witnesses who were detained or directly impacted joined human rights
activists and others to testify on the detention of the Uyghur
population in forced labor camps in China. Topics included torture,
organ harvesting, reduced birth rates of the Uyghur population, and
other human rights violations as well as U.S. supply chains and
technology. The Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party hosted
this hearing.

Audiovideo totals 3 hours; full texts available in translation. The
term `genocide` is not avoided. I caught the last hour of this on
CSPAN Saturday night. No repeats are scheduled in the following week.
I note that there is universal bipartisan concern about this, and am
pleased to laud the numerous Republicans appearing. Search CSPAN on
Uyghur for dizaines of other audiovideos (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA SOUTH. 9100, March 26 at 1523, no signal here nor 9095 nor
9105. Ron Howard says Echo of Hope has left 9 MHz for 7720, also tried
others on 7 MHz. 9100+/- was useful propagation check (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 17460, March 26 at 1508, two weak signals
colliding as the radio war between Dengê Welat and Recep`s jammer,
which could also jump elsewhere below 17500. Arthur Pozner, near NYC,
told the WOR iog, ``Denge Welat on 17455 kHz at 1800 UT, while the
Turkish jammer is on 17480`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NETHERLANDS. 6020 & 11730, March 26 at 0619, JBA carriers direct,
maybe from 1 kW Delta Radio International reported active now. HFCC
shows Korea S and Vietnam also on 6020 but well into the dayside;
11730 also NHK Arabic via France until 0620 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 7440, March 29 at 1522, JBA carrier presumed RNZP,
ex-7390 with nothing; 7440 now sked 1259-1650(Sat -1755). Another
change is 13840 ex-13755 at 0559-0858. Full sked:
https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/listen
Note: in one more week NZ goes off DST, back to UT+12, so many
domestic programs from RNZ will be one real hour later, but the
frequency sked may not change (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. A-23 changes now in effect from SNR, March 26: at 1503,
15520 is S8/S9 off the back to ME. Cuba also registered 15520 at 19-21
with ITU, really to collide? By 1950 March 26, only Spain on 15520.

17855, March 26 at 1506, RNE is S9/+10 to NAm, 17715 to SAm is JBA,
11670 to Af is JBA carrier. As always in A-seasons, 17855 worx much
better in our mornings than 9690, but may not hold up into the
evenings. Needs at least two bands over such long spans, day into
night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, March 25 at 2226, no signal yet from VOT English to
N America, altho it`s March 26 in Emirler; surely will start later UT
March 26, ex-5960 in B-22, ex-9830 in A22, also one UT hour earlified.
Finally! escaping the RTTY on 9830 which often runs past 2200. But now
subject to ACI from 250 kW Brasil 11780, as I already hear tuned to
empty 11785.

5960, Mar 25 at 2307, JBA carrier direct so still here for the last
time. Via UTwente at 2354, S9+30/35 with IS playing, but gone by 2357
leaving only Chinese from XJPBS; no extraneous German (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) See EAST TURKISTAN

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2183 monitoring: confirmed Saturday March 25
at 2230 on WRMIs: 15770 S8/9+15 direct despite off the side, but 5850
JBA direct despite aimed thisaway: too much daytime absorption and
will only worsen into summer.

Also confirmed Saturday March 25 at 2331 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+18
into nearby remote by groundwave, about 20 minutes into so started
circa 2311, instead of nominal 1930. Vern Jackson meanwhile explained
this was due to an automation mixup and the other airing would be at
0411 UT Sunday instead of 0315; axually confirmed starting at 0409,
S9+20 into nearby remote. These unstable WOR times are caused by
widely varying durations of previous ham shows.

Also confirmed UT Sunday March 26 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/S9 into
Georgia SDR, blasted by noise burst first 14 seconds. Next:

** U S A. Special MW DX tests publicized from two Kentucky stations,
UT Sun Mar 26 at 04-06 UT: 990 WWKY and 1150 WMST. I first check
Lexington remote at 0401, immediately hearing Morse code IDs on 990;
and at 0402 on 1150. CPC info never mentions that the same two ran DX
tests last April. I heard them then, but did not request proxy QSL
since I did not record them according to requirements. The arranger
then offered to help me QSL them direct, but nothing came of that.

At 0528 UT March 26 I try for them direct on the DX 398 to minimize
N/S signals from CBW and KSAL. 1150 has various prolonged tones, maybe
WMST; need to tune 1150 USB to avoid KSL IBOC noise circa 1147,

At 0529, 930 is making it, VVV VVV VVV DE WWKY WWKY WWKY a few times.
I think something else followed the calls, uncopied.

At 0558, on the R75 with E/W longwire, alternating hi- and lo-pitched
tones but forgot to note which frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1954 UT March 26

** ANTARCTICA. 15476 USB, Sat Mar 25 at 2102, LRA36 is on with music,
S4/S5 into Argentine SDR, tnx to tip from Manuel Méndez, Spain who had
it direct from *2055. I may not have time to monitor much further
detail, but supposed to last six hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, March 25 at 0643, RHC in English, S9+10
undermodulated; no other frequencies still on. You never know whether
this will show up or not, on 11670 or 11760, modulated or not.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY [non]. 7230, March 25 at 0629, DW IS, brothers seeking
brothers, S7/S9 with QRhaM, lotsa LSB during some contest. If it`s DW,
cannot be broadcast direct from Germany. At 0630-0700 it`s via SAO
TOME in Hausa, what else (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 17480, March 25 at 1509, S6/S8 two signals beating
or Doppler fluttering, presumably Turkish jammer and Dengê Welat. Now
nothing on 17460 or 17470 where they might also jump (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9955, March 25 at 1515, this WRMI is OFF, and
so is 9455, leaving TOMBS on 9395 only; despite supposed extensions to
1600 Sabbathdays only on 9955, but also 7570, 5850, 7780, 5010, the
latters unchecked but would hardly be propagating daytimely (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, March 25 at 0023, VOT overrun in German is still
going, UTwente check, running the 2-minute multilingual ID filler reel
including English. From March 26 or maybe UT March 25 already, this
will happen after 2300 on 11785 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 395 MCW kHz, March 25 at 1506 UT, CA, 25-watt ND beacon at
Newton/Harvs KS due north of here; and also 407 MCW kHz, HRU, 25-watt
NDB at Herington KS. My local noise hump circa 400 kHz is still there
but diminished enough for these to be copied with IDs beyond JBA
carriers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2183 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday March 25 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9+20/30 direct. Axually it
started at 0130:15, altho 7780 is the only frequency needing a delayed
start to avoid the noise burst.

Missed checking UT Sat Mar 25 at 0400 on WBCQ R Angela 5130v; did
anyone hear it?

Confirmed Saturday March 25 at 1700 UT, on WRN North America webcast -
still at winter timing. After the biweek of confusion, from April 1,
this should change to 1600, as UK catches up with DST already in
effect in NAm. Also all the other WRN airings from March 26.

Not confirmed any time between 1930 and 2100 UT Sat Mar 25 on WA0RCR,
1860 AM, S9+20 into nearby SDR. Maybe unusually ran much before
nominal 1930, or not at all? Next:

** U S A. 12160, Sat Mar 15 from 1700, WWCR-2 with `The Talking [sic]
Machine Show` at earlified time for CDT season, to my surprise, at
1705 host Phil Patton mentions me, tnx for nice comment about his show
in DX Listening Digest! You`re welcome; maybe a years-old evergreen
repeat altho I have recommended TTMS recently apart from DXLD.

Also says show is on two other stations, one of them webcast Geneva
Community Radio in NY, 4 pm Saturdays.
It`s now known as Global Community Radio,
http://globalcommunityradio.blogspot.com/
with WOR at 0100 UT Mondays on GCR1 stream. But I don`t find TTMS on
sked at all, nor on GCR2 or GCR3. Lots of great programming amassed,
much of it international on GCR1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330.000, March 25 at 0534, WBCQ-6 SuperStition is finally
back on air with World`s Last Chance Radio in English, as first
reported by Walt Salmaniw at 0413. But as soon as I tune in, it dumps
off air at 0535*-*0536, and again for less than a minute during 0540.
Still going next check 1518 when it matches WWV 10000.000 exactly
directly. So the Continentals not only got it working again, but
exactified the frequency, at least for now - but seems still stuck on
9330, no matter when or whereto. But UTwente is not even getting
enough signal to lock onto. By 1907 it`s sporadically locking onto
9329.996+ but inaudible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, March 25 at 0630, no signal from R. Vanuatu, nor on
5040, 7890, 11835. Maybe still on but blanked by propagation
disturbance (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2122 UT March 25

** CUBA. 11760, March 24 at 0625, S9+30 of dead air, yet the SSOB.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5800, March 24 at 0635, pulse jamming against nothing at rate
of about 160 pulses per minute. All because some months ago, WRMI
briefly put R. República on here for one hour IIRC 0300. Now it`s
ruined for the forseeable future. WRMI-10 now scheduled 22-04 only
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.994, March 24 at 2121, R. Cairo at S9+35 into UTwente,
but suptorted in English, almost understandable beneath big humbuzz,
2123 presents something else. This time I go looking for a live
webcast. WOR hitlist leads only to general homepage, and can`t get
anything audible. Publicradiofan.com leads to ERTU English via
http://egradio.eg/LiveRadio/ but again can`t get anything to play. At
least it`s a neat multilingual player design. A pop-up for Qur`an
certainly does play -- until it stalls (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [non]. 7295.002, Fri Mar 24 at *1758, carrier on with tone
less than 1 kHz, presumably BULGARIA, S9+20 into UTwente, 1800 IRRS
s/on as 7295 & 1323, Feature Story News & Spotlite, 1804 into another
newscast not IDing until later as VOA. 14590 harmonic inaudible today
in depressed conditions. Later in hour some rock music show where WOR
used to be, not specified, only generic schedule entry. Before 1800
there is ACI from China 7300, after 1800 2ACI from China 7285. In A23,
IRRS plans to go back to 7290, but not make a time shift, staying at
18-19 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 15355, March 24 at 2023, French at S3/S2 is one of few
signals on 19mb in depressed conditions. It`s AWR at 2000-2030 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Mar 24 at 2300, SNR token English, previews will
be pt 2 of 2 interview about German painter Lucian Freud, of the
*ugly* portraits. No tnx, over to Turkey - after checking other
frequencies into Maryland SDR: 12030 & 11940 are OK, but 11685 JBA.
From Mar 27 this will be at 2200 UT M/W/F on 17855 for us - which may
be a bit too high until later in season; 17715, 15520, 11670. Lower
15520 may work better for us off the back to ME, like 12030 has been
in B-season (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.004, March 24 at 2308, VOT VG into UTwente, with S&R
salute after news and `Review of Turkish Press`; 2315 `Weekly
Analysis` repeat about China getting Iran and Sa`udi Arabia together;
2322 multilingual ID filler reel; 2325 `Feeling Supreme/The Healing
Supring` repeat about colds & flus, antibiotix NG vs viruses; 2331
`Always by your side` promo; music, 2339 `Always with you` promo, `Did
You Know That` repeat about Istanbul restaurant; 2348 ABYS, music;
2352 s/off; 2353 IS; 2356 restart IS with German IDs, and stays on in
spurious language still until cutoff just before 0034* March 25.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Note: From March 26 with
A-23, English moves to 2200 UT on a frequency not used before, 11785
instead of 9830 in A-22. May have ACI from 11780 Brasil (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 10048 USB, March 24 at 0627, San Francisco ATC contacting a
FEDEX flight, refers to another SFO frequency, 6673. Fedex replies
JBA. EiBi shows:

10048 0000-2400 J Tokyo Radio E FE
10048 0000-2400 USA San Francisco Radio NP E NOc /ALS-ba
10048 0000-2400 USA San Francisco Radio NP E NOc /HWA-m

What means NP? This does mean SFO originated but transmitted very
remotely from Barrow, Alaska, or Moloka`i, Hawai`i (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. 9455, March 24 at 0631, NO signal from WRMI-5, scheduled
24h, at this time with SMTV; despite disturbances, 9395 & 9955 are
quite loud. Something`s off at Okeechobee. Recheck 2019, 9455
still/again off while 9395 is OK. At 20-21, 9455 would have been the
*only* WRMI with TOMBS! What a respite (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 720, March 24 at 1509 UT, WGN mentions its TV-side, News
Nation. Altho possible via daytime groundwave, strong enough I think
now to be residual skywave; no CCI. City-to-city distance: 1073 km =
667 miles.

670, March 24 at 1509 UT, WSCR also still audible as `The Score` but
with fast SAH no doubt from KLTT Denver, which is always reaching here
via daytime groundwave, 725 km = 450 mi.

MW Offsets shows WSCR on 670.0004 as of 2022 and KLTT on 670.0018 as
of 2020, i.e. 1.4 Hz apart, but obviously much more than that now.
Enid sunrise was 1229 UT today, so these were over 2.5 hours into
dayside (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, March 24 at 0632, RV manages to modulate, YL talking
seems like French intonation, S6/S8 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 990 kHz, morning & afternoon chex March 24, JBA signals
from the two accessibles on daytime groundwave, KRSL Russell KS, and
KFCD Farmersville(Dallas) TX, but one of them seems to be dead air. At
2150 UT checking Crowley TX SDR, KFCD is not dead but gospelhuxtering
in Spanish. Overland Park KS is really too far from Russell, but does
