** ANTARCTICA. Wolfgang Bueschel just reported March 14: ``15474.971
kHz (!) UNIDentified mx program, likely Argentine Antarctic 5 kW tiny
LRA36 sce? rather strong S=7 at 2330 UT.``

Who says it`s 5 kW? March 15 at 0030 I also have it approx. 15475;
15474.97 into the one Argentine KiwiSDR working online. Only rock
music so far, rather weak, on both LSB and USB but louder on USB, and
a reduced carrier if sidetuned. Surprise Tuesday broadcast without any
advance publicity? Maybe it`s the `new` transmitter no longer circa
15476. As soon as I press Send, ``RAE Argentina To The World`` ID at
0033, more music, rather distorted. Glenn, at 0036. Other reports:

Doug White, KA5ETS: ``Just heard RAE Argentina al mundo ID at 0048.
S7 into central NC. Using Airspy HF+ Discovery with 57 ft end fed
antenna at 40 ft. Off, or no longer being heard here in NC by 0101``

gh: Not rechecked Arg SDR until 0113, off but: Something strange circa
15472/73, intermittent bits of electronic music or talk, very hard to
pin down exact frequency, which seems to fluxuate with modulation
{like a spur}, circa 0116. Then nothing to 0123. Glenn

Horacio Nigro, CX3BZ, Montevideo at 0141: ``They've been doing tests
on USB, LSB, including AM. I read of Korol asking for reports in our
Whatsapp group. But I am not close to active radio monitoring, lately.
Expect more tests coming besides regular sked already announced.``

gh: It`s on again with music from 1600 tune-in Wed Mar 15, 1608 RAE
multi-lang ID, 15475 USB not LSB, only S3 into BsAs SDR. Is becoming
so common now? 1618 phone tones, ``comunicad`` promo. Later chex:
still at 1647; 1804 S5, 1820. Glenn. Other reports on WOR iog:

Zach Liangas, Greece: ``More careful analysis shows AM mode with LSB
part at quite lower level than USB (about 10 db) possibly like
vestigial sideband. Song Eva at 1902 -92db``

Eric Fetters-Walp, Lake Stevens, Washington: ``At 2035 UTC, I found
LRA36 on 15475 USB (at least it was heard best in USB) with a rock
ballad, then an ID, into a rock instrumental with a male voice
speaking during the song, another ID, then into a slow rock song with
a singer who sounded at times like Tom Waits. The signal heard via the
Montevideo, Uruguay, SDR suddenly went off the air around 2047. Here
near Seattle, I could faintly hear the music directly, especially
during the guitar peaks, but it was overall much worse than last
Saturday's reception of LRA-36.``

Levi P. Iversen: ``Made it here to Norway too. Very weak but heard an
ID at just past 2015 UTC on around 15474.97 kHz: "Transmite LRA 36
Radio Nacional Arcángel San Gabriel" Clear ID. Best in USB. Carrier
off at 2047.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 17470: at 1344 March 15 on the BDXC-UK iog:
``Hello, Does anyone have any info on which station is currently
broadcasting 17470 KHZ now? Many Thanks in advance. François``

Mauno Ritola, Finland, at 1355 replies: ``Sounds like Dengê Welat.``
[BTW, Mauno is now International Editor of the new WRTH -gh]

Tony Rogers, UK at 1404: ``I agree with Mauno, it is Dengê Welat.
Matches their live stream at denge-welat.org``

Wolfgang Bueschel, WOR iog: A23 season looming on Sunday March 26,
so likely BRB Ludo Maes ordered some technical broadcast tests

gh monitoring: At 1636, music & Kurdish? talk, S9/+10 into Cyprus SDR
at -300 Hz = 17469.700. However, needs calibration. Same SDR with
timesignal on 10000 displays as -29v Hz (RWM CW IDs audible on side
from 9996 at 1639). Also tried Kuwait SDR S5/S7 showing -246 Hz but at
1706 best into Qatar SDR S9+15 showing -248 Hz, so really 17469.753 or
so, typical offfrequenciness of Tashkent site. Still going chex: 1802
S7/S9; 1822 S9+15/20; 1905 drift to -252 Hz.

Arthur Pozner at 1844: ``Have monitored 17470 kHz from around 1700
UTC. Was fairly listenable at my location (near NYC), but faded by
now. It is the strongest from remote SDRs located in Siliguri and
Vadodra in India. Must be originating from Central Asia, so Tashkent

** U S A. [WOR] KOVR RP on 26110 is KMK282 --- I did some further
searching at FCC ULS, starting with the frequency 26.110 - would you
believe there are 125 entries all over the USA? Some are 3 letters + 3
numbers which I believe are base stations; others 2 letters + 4
numbers, remote or mobile units. But many are canceled or expired.
Eight of them are licensed to CBS or Sacramento TV Stations. The only
almost-active one is this which ``expired`` a few months ago on

``Broadcast Auxiliary Remote Pickup License - KMK282 - SACRAMENTO

The callsign applies to six different locations; surely we are hearing

wrong at RHC. 11880 not on air before or after 2230.

RHC website is uselessly outdated, and HFCC is boycotted, but does
register with ITU, for A-23 as of 23 February latest: I pull out the

today; you never know whether it shall be. Something`s always awry at
Ankara and/or erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. ``Glenn, regarding the KOVR feed on 26110: They are
obviously feeding the output of the production control room, rather
than the actual on-air complete mix. The breaks in audio you hear are
where the commercials go, inserted elsewhere. This is also why you
heard the weather insert being recorded. It would appear the
transmitter powers down after a certain amount of silence.

Using the production control room feed (minus commercials) for IFB was
pretty standard in the days when a radio link was used. However, in
the early days of digital cell phones being used for this purpose, my
station discovered that long periods of silence on the line would
cause the call to drop, so we started sending the commercials down the
line as well to keep the call active. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas``

Just before 16 UT March 14, I warn the WOR iog: ``If today is typical
like Monday, expect the 26110 NBFM transmitter of KOVR to be on air
intermittently between 16 and 18 UT for the `Good Day` show on
KMAX-TV.

This thing should have its own callsign. Can anyone dig it out of FCC?
It may be classified as a ``co-pending auxiliary`` of KOVR-TV; or not.

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-oceanic JBA MW 9/kHz split carrier search, March
14 at 0630: surprised to detect no 846, Kiritimati off or out of
season? But 1503, two signals beating slowly. There are a pair of
low-powers each in Spain and New Zealand. Also a faster beat on 1305:
there are several in Spain, only one in NZ, per WRTH 2022.

How about the 2023 which has now arrived? You need three hands, two to
hold the book open since it cannot lie flat, and another to wield the
magnifying glass. Unfortunately, the ``East Asia & Pacific`` MW by
region list has no NZ on either frequency --- in fact in a cursory
check, nothing at all from Pacific! No Australians topping the
alphabet under each channel. Knowing from the 2022 to look under NZ, I
do see there the two in NZ on 1503, the one on 1305, and Spainfo also
matches (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 26110 NB FM, Tnx to tip from Harold Frodge, MI, at 1614
March 13 on the WOR iog, the KOVR Stockton CA auxiliary is on the air,
``chit-chatty morning talk show``. I soon have it loud and clear, S7
into Missouri SDR at 1623. Off at 1628 after some sitcom theme. 1630
back on, so don`t give up if not there at first. Many more
interruptions. After a bit of dead air, transmitter autoturns off, it
seems. And cuts back on abruptly. Why don`t they just let it run? By
the way, NBFM is lo-fi, nothing like hi-fi WBFM.

Rough times of breaks included: 1628-1630, 1639-1641, 1649-1652,
1656-1658, 1727-1730, 1741-1744, 1754-1757. Mostly hyper hosts with
fluff, including 1738 remote about the art of drumming; 1744 gushing
about fashions at AcAwards.

Hour before and after 17 UT is ``Good Day``, local show not from KOVR
13 itself but CW31 on their 13.3 subchannel; see sked at 10-11 am PDT
so for another hour:
https://www.cbsnews.com/sacramento/program-guide/

`Good Day` on & off lasted until 1800. Back on at 1803 with obviously
off-mike, not on air talk, then meteorologist Tracy Humphrey
rehearsing? Or doing more than one take of segment recording for later
on CBS13, ``try it again``. Heavy snowfall at higher elevations, then
flooding expected. For during the CBS13 Noon News at 1900-1930, when
26110 may be back on. Also audible direct at S7/S8 until another stop
at 1811* and during lunch I don`t monitor further. Still off at 1843+,
and never back on after 1900.

The substation audio of `13.3` heard before 1800 was KMAX-TV = CW 31
really on RF 24 per rabbitears.info, but which shows KOVR 13-3
carrying Dabl instead. A few times both remotedly and directedly I
scanned 25.8-26.5 MHz without encountering any other such activity

** U S A. 5130, UT Mar 13 at 0408, dead air from WBCQ Radio Angela;
operas now start at 0200 UT Mondays, finish segments before 0400
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5050, March 13 at 0640, S9+10/20 of dead air. WRMI Legends
is scheduled at 2200-0400 only on #4 5050, at top of grid showing
System C. But the C program sked below is totally inconsistent, no
5050 at all! But Legends at 04-05 on 15770. In fact, no 5050, nor
ex-4980 on ANY System. Also off the air rather than all-night, 5010.
Something`s odd at Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9975, UT Mon Mar 13 at 0125-0148+, NO signal from KVOH
again. Were they on at all this weekend, UT Sat/Sun/Mon? Looks like
they need a new transmitter. IIRC a few years ago they did acquire a
second used one, but maybe never serviceable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, March 13 at 0704 & 0716, unreadable carrier S8/S9
presumed RV still here and of course no 7890 or 11835 harmonix of 3945
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 10125 USB, March 13 at 0657, Oz accent from presumed JBA
ham. I cannot find any phone contacts on 30m at dxheat.com (Glenn

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST updated

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

1) Updated UTC offset notations for start of DST for Cuba (R Progreso,
R Rebelde) and USA (R Martí, VOA, WRMI)
2) Iran - IRIB/V of Iran: Updated links to new domain name (replacing
parstoday.com with parstoday.ir) and deleted obsolete live stream link
3) Japan - NHK World: Added links to NHK Japanese Service and NHK R1,
including two NHK R1 programmes heard on the Japanese service on
shortwave (Rajio Shinyabin/Radio Late-Night Flight and gogo
café/Afternoon Café) (Thanks to Misayo Tanaka)
4) USA - WWRB: deleted entries

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

** CUBA. 11760, Sunday March 12 at 0705, RHC is still on here, and
nowhere on 6 MHz band, in Esperanto, now moved one hour earlier for
the next octomonth, since as a running dog of Yanqui Imperialism, Cuba
has just gone on EDT to match Miami. At 1458 recheck, 11760 with a
local timecheck as 10:58 = UT -4 instead of -5.

13700, March 12 at 1500 UT ex-1600, the next repeat of Esperanto
confirmed also earlied an hour, including this extra frequency still
going at 1610 in addition to 11760, the only one on the imaginary
opening announcement, and to 15140 which has really been // for years.
The clueless Esperantists claim it`s Sunday at 0800 on 6100, where it
rarely appeared, and at 1600 on 11760, only. The third airing is even
more iffy, having shown up on different frequencies at 2130 instead of
2230 or 2330; will it now be 2030? Something`s always wrong at RHC.

English broadcasts are expected to appear one UT hour earlier now,
starting with 1900, on 15140 at least. Except to ``Africa`` at 2200 in
winter normally changes backwards to 2300 in summer. Has been on 11880
extremely unreliably. All needs to be confirmed by monitoring, but
everything is tentative.

15140, March 12 at 1900, yes, ``news`` in English already underway
into Missouri; no signal on 11760. But 15140 dumps to dead air at
1930, carrier off circa 1935. Then bandscan finds no other RHCs on 11,
13, 15, even 17 MHz. But by 1949, 13680 is on with music, and French
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** DENMARK [non]. I am checking out the WRN stream for N America now
that stupid DST has been imposed upon us: as expected, its schedule
remains the same in UT. Sunday after 1700 is a speech/interview about
European military aid for Ukraine, no clue which ``station`` this is
from. By 1728 wraps up as ``Copenhagen Calling``, = ``Banns Radio
International`` as listed on the schedule:

https://www.encompass.tv/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Encompass_WRN_North_America_B22.pdf
Followed at 1730 by NHK. Thus we may conclude that WORLD OF RADIO
times on WRN to NAm --- plus Asia, Africa, Pacific, remain the same
until UK go on BST in two more weeks, when nonsensically, NAm service
will shift to match what had been their lineup by standard time here
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15476 RC USB, March 11 at 2104, LRA36 is on with music,
S6/S8 into Argentine SDR, as per further advance publicity of a 6-hour
broadcast starting at 2100 this Saturday. Too much else is going on
for me to monitor this continuously. 2207 interview via phone? There
is constant humbuzz, which annoyingly surges during pauses: must have
AVC in the circuit. 2221 RAE multilingual ID; 2223 voice of a YL
listener with greeting; 2224 contact info; 2225 temp as 2.4 C, wind 38
kph. At 2227 I try for it direct but nothing yet. 2229 acknowledging a
report from England.

By 2309 it has become JBA direct! S3/S4 about equal to noise level. By
2346 during song it`s peaking S5. Direct path to here is mostly
oversea, missing the western bulge of S America, crossing near
Mexico`s narrowest part into the Gulf and of course, trans-Texas.
Further east, the signal has to traverse the length of the South
American landmass, including bouncing across the Andes, not helpful.
But during this hour it`s widely reported across western N America.

2355 I`m back on remote for convenience; Morse code, YL calling CQ and
ham news bulletin, efemérides; into March 12: 0003 credits, LU1ZV in
Morse code. 0019 RAE multi-lang ID; 0020 ``sign-on`` canned
announcement, scripted piece. Some of this is sounding very familiar,
probably recorded repeats; like ``malvinazar``.

0116 starts a new program `Tranquilo Sur` about southern Patagonia and
Tierra del Fuego. 0151 still JBA direct S3/S4. Back to remote, a
different inferior one as the first one has unavailablized. 0210 LRA36
ID. 0257 speech before a laughing audience; 0302* off seemingly
without a formal s/off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, March 11 at 0748, RHC still on in Spanish, S9/+10. All
the 49mb frequencies are off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475 AM, March 12 at 0253* tune-in Utah remote just
in time to hear ``going dark`` -- i.e. anti-Christ pirate Station
YHWH, active again as tipped in the WOR iog. His first night back
since November was last night, UT March 11 when he remained past 0400
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SLOVENIA. 10128 CW, March 11 at 0731, CQ DX DE S57##. Could not
copy whole call, but S57 = Slovenia. Nothing found in exhaustive log
at dxheat.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.015, March 11 at 2315, VOT English is on today, VG
S9+30/45 into UTwente, talking about the Black Sea; 2352 s/off,
fragment of IS and cut off 2353.6* uncovering XJPBS (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2181 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday March 11 starting at 0130:13 on WRMI 5850. Maryland and
Bonaire remotes where signal is weaker, have noise QRM also centered
on 5850, like jamming? but not pulsing Cuban-style. Missouri remote
where it`s aimed, is clear of the noise.

Also confirmed UT Saturday March 11 at 0500 on WBCQ Radio Angela,
S9+10/20 into Missouri SDR showing -17 Hz = 5129.983.

Also confirmed Saturday March 11 at 1700 on WRN N America webcast.

Also confirmed ending Saturday March 11 at 2103 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM,
MO, S9+20 into nearby SDR at +007 Hz.

Also confirmed Saturday March 11 at 2230 on WRMIs: 5850, S9 into
Missouri SDR; 15770 S9+20 into same off the side, and holding up at
S9+10 into UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Sunday March 12 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+10 into
Louisiana SDR, blasted by noise during the first 14 seconds.

Also confirmed UT Sunday March 12 from 0452 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
via nearby remote but with heavy storm noise from Arkansas/Tennessee.

** U S A. (7489.9v), March 11 at 0100, webcast of WBCQ with `Allan and
Angela Weiner Worldwide`, new one, always starts with reminding us how
beautiful Angela is to him, but hardly a word from her during the
hour. Is trimulcasting on 7490, 6160, 5130, live if we are hearing
this on March 10. Mentions that SuperStition 9330 is off the air
again: transmitter problems in this complex machine. Still needs to
hire two engineers with high-power experience. Mostly about the value
of AM radio, which includes SW, vs removing AM from new cars,
especially EVs, reading articles from Radio World, etc. Condemns North
Korean Communism, and linx it to Communism taking over US government
-- !? Not much more of politix. 0154 some email agreeing with him, no
new Free Radio Weekly yet. 0201 JIP Hal Turner (Glenn Hauser, OK,
