** TURKEY. 5960.003+, March 15 at 2259, VOT not off the air today,
unlike yesterday, ending IS, 2300 TS and s/on English -- announcer
sounds out of breath, like he just ran up the stairs, barely getting
into studio in time for live announcement, always awry in Ankara,
oblivious to the several repeats of the 1330 broadcast on 13635. VG
S9+40/50 but low hum and soon CCCCCCI. 2313 `The First Quarter of the
Millenium`` about Kyoto climate change protocol of 2005, but which
*rump withdrew the US from in his first term. 2320 multi-lingual ID
filler reel; 2322 music. 2331 unID feature about the Spanish

about an Ottoman project, railway from Jordan, music. 2350
always-by-your-side promo, music. 2355 s/off as if it`s the 1330 on
13635, `thank you for lis---`` and chop off before 2356* even one note
of IS, no finesse. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn

** U S A [and non]. VOA situation: Not all the staff at Greenville
[Grimesland] are full-time employees; seven technicians are personal
service contractors (PSC) and are to be put on administrative leave
until further notice, but not locked out, unlike some personnel in
Washington.

Five Government Service Employees remaining are: three supervisors,
the chief engineer and a secretary. One person already accepted a
buy-out. A former manager has returned. It`s unclear if there will be
enough staff to keep running the site 24/7.

Perhaps they will at least keep Radio Martí broadcasting as long as
the program feed remains. It seems there has been a lot of repetition
already in music and talk features to fill the 24-hour schedule.

Already planned: GB-8, a 500 kW AEG transmitter is to be retired, as
no high voltage transformer can be obtained for it. One of the Kuwait
senders, a Continental 417 will be moved in to replace it.

Now in doubt is a major expansion of the Kuwait site, three x 250 kW
Ampegons, to replace São Tomé, and others. Other relay sites? So far
it appears that Tinang, Philippines is still operating (Glenn Hauser,
0451 UT March 16, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. Monitoring by gh: 13820, March 16 at 1457, open
carrier S6/S7, 1500 JIP Radio Martí with ID. 11860 was not on at 1457
but is on after 1500. 11930 already running at 1457, S7/9+5, all
Grimesland NC site. Presumably about to be abolished.

Greenville manager Willford Cooper could not find anything out at 1604
UT March 16. The computer network was down and Greenville getting its
Martí programs from satellite. Staff could not put in their time
cards, get the daily activity report of operational memos from DC. So
if they had been told to shut down they would never know.

But by 1654 UT: The order has been passed to Macon Dail, the Chief
Engineer, to shut Greenville down. All employees have been told not to
show up for work.

Alan Furst, Kansas City, reports: ``Martí went off at 16:30 today
3/16.  All transmitters appear to be off in 22 and 25 meters. It
happened abruptly, although I wasn't listening closely to know what
they said at the end. Was a surprise.``

Many USAGM services are missing frequencies, dead air, filling with
music or repeating old programming as the axe is falling; much
monitoring of details in the WOR indian ocean group. The White House
has quoted Dan Robinson`s critique of VOA as one justification. And
Kim Elliott says, ``The zombification of VOA has begun. Listening at
0400 UTC 15 March on 4930 kHz, Botswana relay via an SDR in South
Africa: It was the VOA "Worldwide in Five" newscast from March 9 at
0200 UTC.`` - he probably meant 0400 UT 16 March as this was posted a
few minutes after that.

VOA`s broadcasting of week-olds eclipses Voice of Turkey, where their
olds would be no more than 14.5 hours stale.

At 1900 UT March 16, via UTwente checking all VOA scheduled
frequencies per EiBi:
Tigrigna: 9485 BOT & 12040 CVA dead air; 13765 KWT music
English: 13590 D-L = Germany music
French: 17700 GB OFF
Korean: 7465 & 9800 PHT, 9575 THA all with music

Saturday March 15 at 2300, still no signal on WTWW, 9475, when WOR

Maybe to return?

UT Sunday March 16 at 0000, new non-time for WOR reconfirmed on WRMI

Confirmed UT Sunday March 16 at 0349 UT on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+20
groundwave into nearby SDR but with storm crashes from Alabama area, 5
minutes into so started circa 0344 the 0315v.

Also confirmed Sunday March 16 at 1047 the 1030 on WRMI 9955, S9
direct. (Also, after 0930, WRMI was still *not* on 9455, contrary to
own sked, when WOR is supposedly aired on Saturdays.) Next:

** U S A [and non]. 5950, Sat Mar 15 at 2251 into UTwente, ham radio
news in English, but with modulated pulse QRM once per second,
horrible. Same thing audible without QRM from WRMI into Georgia SDR.
Xmtr grid shows 5950 WRMI-10 does not start until 2300! Contradixion:

** GERMANY. 3955, March 15 at 1805, `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot`,
monthly via Channel 292, playing what else, Irish music, S9+10/15 into
UTwente; co-timed with Met Opera`s Fidelio. 3955 seems to have slight
CCI, unknown what. Much better on // 9670 S9+20. 1810 tribute to
Roberta Flack, with ``Killing Me Softly``, a beautiful song, but I`ve
always found that title/expression repulsive! 1815 to main music:
Corsica, very nice. 1900 into Radio Six International, Scotland (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, March 15 at 0614, JBA carrier direct, presumed
Station YHWH running late again, and nothing else scheduled.

Also, fixing a typo in my previous report:
** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, March 14 at 0331, Station YHWH, anti-Christ
pirate, VG S9+10 into northern Utah SDR, tnx tip from Ron Howard who
found him on air early by 0250. I had not heard him direct for a
while, mostly listening later than that. Now with good modulation too.
0342 theme? song. 0347 must worship Yahweh alone. 0349 some RTTY QRM
on upper side, also some SSB nearby but could not pin it down;
quit/off by 0352*. I happened to run across this on YT:...

Re Station YHWH report with the YT of ``Days of Hard Life``, Rick
Barton, AZ, replies: ``I had corresponded with the op sometime back
and he wrote that the song was actually recorded under the pseudonym
"Lace" by himself and his (then) wife. He sent me a CD that had it and
a few other songs they did at the time. best``

And Yahoo mail has this great new AI thing, summarizing what`s in
emails, and gets this TOTALLY WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG:

``- Rick in Arizona -- Rick acknowledges your correspondence regarding
the song 'Lace' by Glenn Hauser and confirms that it was indeed
recorded under the pseudonym 'Lace' by Glenn Hauser and his wife.
Created by Yahoo Mail. Was this helpful?`` DAMN NOT, GO AWAY!!!!
WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Are others getting these intrusions??
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 780, March 14 at 2211 UT, KSPI Stillwater is
still off the air. Now I`m bandscanning on caradio with less noise
than in the house, yet more than usual in the garage. Shortly after my
previous report, circa 2200 UT I saw a notice on TV coverage of the
wildfires, that part of Stillwater was being evacuated! 93.9, KSPI-FM
however is still on air at 2218, separately programmed anyway and I
can`t tell whether the mere translator of 780 on 94.3 be on the air.
What else? By next check 1540 UT March 15, 780 is back on the air.

Only other semi-local AM signal missing is 1120, KETU Catoosa [Tulsa].
By next check 1540 UT March 15, 1120 is back on the air. There were
lots of power outages even unto areas not directly fire-threatened.

690, KGGF Coffeyville KS, almost in OK, is VG as usual, reporting
about power outages.

860, KKOW Pittsburg KS, almost in OK too, is JBA, despite 10 kW like
KGGF. It`s always somewhat weaker due to higher frequency, but maybe
underpowered now. At 2212 heard them mention 97.5, their mere
translator, and thought I heard previous callsign KOAM, but maybe I
was dreamagining that.

101.9, KTST OKC allowed itself to be interrupted at 2219 by a fire
warning concerning north Lincoln County. Did not hear that on any
other station, but couldn`t check all of them in time.

91.7, KOSU Stillwater still very much on the air with fire coverage
from some TV station pre-empting NPR ATC at 2217.

91.5, gospel huxter in Kansas with big hum and seems mono, at 2217.
That`s KSNS Medicine Lodge, almost in OK. Same defect a few days ago
as I tuned across. Some months ago we had reports about it being for
sale, by locals, tho owned by `Florida Public Radio`. Haven`t kept up
with any further news about that. This nothing to do with the
wildfires (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 162.475 MHz, WXL48, Enid Weather Radio we can now monitor
conveniently as channel 4 on the weather band of our new C Crane
Skywave SSB2. KFOR/NBC, KWTV/CBS and KOCO/ABC all blew away their
network news at 2230 UT March 14; KWTV did have some time for
commercials during the emergency. It and KOCO went back to networx for
prime time from 0000 UT March 15, but KFOR kept on wildfire coverage
until 0100. KOKH/Fox wasn`t doing much at all, as who needs it? Our
sky all afternoon was orange/yellow from all the blowing dust and
smoke. A far cry from the absolutely clear view of the Total Lunar
Eclipse last night. High winds also caused lots of power outages, but
so far not for us (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, Fri Mar 14 at 2306, token English from SNR, VG S9/+15
into Maryland SDR, backward from ME beam, almost as good as NAm
channel 9690 S9+15/30; also SAm`s 17715 JBA S4/S6 and trace of 17755
for Africa. Topic anniversary of something that happened on March 14,
2020 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960, Mar 14 at 2306, no signal direct of VOT
English; and shortly no signal either into UTwente except a noisy
frequency, nor on possible altmistake 9610, rather Mongolian from
China. Furthermore, Mar 15 at 0411 check into UTwente, no VOT on 6125
or 7285. Somethings always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [non]. DOGE criminals have reportedly hit USAGM, starting to
close various subsidiary services, before VOA: March 15 at 1836, VOA
French still going VG on 15730 BOTSWANA S9+25/30, and at 1841, 12075
via VATICAN, violating Separation Of Church And State. VOA English
still going at 1837 on 15580 BOTSWANA; VOA Amharic at 1839 still going
via KUWAIT on 13765; all checked via UTwente. Some other VOA languages
have been replaced by music, if still on the air, as well as R. Ashna,
and Deewa per Jose Jacob. See this:
VOA STAFF PUT ON LEAVE AFTER TRUMP ORDERS CUTS, by Nathan Layne:

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2286 monitoring: confirmed Friday
March 14 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9+30 into Georgia SDR.

Also confirmed Friday March 14 starting a bit late at 2332 on SW
Radio, Germany, 3975.004-, S8/9+5 into UTwente. But played to 2401
completion.

Also confirmed UT Saturday March 15 at 0300 on WTWW 5085, active
again, S9+45/55 direct, but still not on WTWW-2 webcast; and still
flanked by JBA spur carriers measured approx. 5072.18 and 5097.82.
Over at 0329, then music until 0330.7*

Also confirmed Saturday March 15 at 1550 the 1530 on SW Radio,
Germany, 6160.001+, S9+10 into UTwente; no problem from weaker S8/S9
on 6165, CRI Pashto via Urumqi, East Turkistan, land of imperialist
ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems; also with a
warble.

Also confirmed Saturday March 15 at 1700 UT on WRN N America stream:
WRN will not early it to 1600 UT for two sesquiweeks until April 5
once UKOGBANI go on summer time.

SDR, as NH is busy: 9330 WLCR Portuguese S9+10/20. 7490 -75 Hz =
7489.925, FKB? S9+10/20. 6160 OFF. 5130 OFF. 3265 OFF. But at *2355,
5130 on with IS & ID, S9/+10. March 15 at 0000, 5 & 7 join for WTO
theme and AAAWWW, with different talkovers, so new. 0007 `Pirates of
the Airwaves` song. First topic is whether Cream Soda is
amber-colored. Allan adamantly says yes, Angela goes for pink. Someone
sends a shot of `red` cream soda. They spend quite a bit of time
debating this earth-shaking topic. How many transmitters do they have?
15, 16 or 17, including backups; but 6 or 10 main ones. Exactly?! At
0021 says also on 9330 and so they are by now. Offers transmitters to
Donald and Elon, whom they love; ``we are the real Voice of America``
- is their cream soda spiked? 0024 playing some more music and I doze
off. By 0045 reading some Free Radio Weekly items from last week`s
issue. 0058 NH SDR opens up so I try 7490, and find the ACI from VOA R
Ashna via KUWAIT which remains 0030-0100, and now a problem when it
was not last week with AAAWWW a real UT hour later. 0059 prayer and
over to Hal Turner (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 780, March 15 at 0640 UT, WBBM with `StarDate` about Spica
at its reliable time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 550, March 15 at 0634 UT and still at 0653, 1

Westwood One, SES-11, transponder 17, for receiver authorization,
please call Denver operations center, 720-873-5177 between 8 am and 10
pm eastern time``. Since when is Denver on EDT? Another instance of
Eastern zone hegemony. Same thing I was hearing one week ago during
the DST Hour Of Confusion, on WWL and at least tones on several other
MW frequencies, but bandscan tonight does not find any others --
however, at 0644 there is dead air on 850 KOA and 870 WWL. 550
dominant signal is most likely KTRS St Louis MO; two Texans, KCRS and
KTSA are unfavorable, and KFRM KS is low-powered at night (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1030 kHz, March 15 at 0645 UT, romantic song in Spanish

UNIDENTIFIED. 9936.0 AM, March 15 at 0618 UT, S8/S9 open carrier
except for clix, at the rate of 20/minute = every 3 seconds, JBA out

``Days of Hard Life by Lace from YHWH Pirate Station Opening
Nelson Ogden 648 subscribers 1,287 views  Oct 14, *2016*

Here is the opening to one of YHWH's shortwave broadcasts. I recorded
this from WBCQ's board feed online (not off air) for best sound
quality. YHWH used to be a pirate broadcaster, but after being busted
by the FCC, no longer operates. He did, however, run two specials on
WBCQ 7490 kHz. This is the opening to one of them.

The host has previously quoted this song as "Days of Hard Life" by
Lace. The only Lace I can find is a country and western band. This is
certainly not their music. In fact, it sounds like it might not even
be professionally produced. If it is done by amateur musicians, it is
very good, but it just doesn't quite sound professional. Its not
perfectly in time, vocals are very bright and harsh. There is heavy
compression, but that's probably from WBCQ's audio processor.

I uploaded this for those that are interested in hearing a good
quality version of this song. I'm not too interested in YHWH's
message.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
