** CHINA [and non]. So what`s holding up on 16m in A23 after 0000 UT? Only JBA carriers March 27 at 0017 on 17560, 17580, 17880. HFCC: 17560 USAGM Tinang, Philippines in Chinese, ergo also jammed; 17580 CNR from LIN site; 17880 CRI Portuguese from Beijing site aimed NW toward 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 opening in Korean - one language BBC has not yet abandoned, sked 1530-1830, 250 kW, 25 degrees from SINGAPORE, so carries on well to CNAm far beyond Korea North (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2183 monitoring: confirmed UT Monday March 27 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, VP vs noise level despite S9/+10 direct, blasted by noise first 14 seconds. Also confirmed UT Monday March 27 from 0304 on WBCQ Area 51 after some songs on 6160 minus 67 Hz into Maryland SDR at S8/9+5. Next: 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035 USB [low power] 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Has now been updated for European DST changes, not yet NZ Like our website, a noncommercial service for which financial support is appreciated; this week from Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh NC, for a generous quarterly check on a US bank marking the Vernal Equinox, to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA, One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9455, March 27 at 0620, this WRMI is off again despite 24h schedule, while 9395 & 9955 are VG. 9455 also off at 1526 while 9395 is on. Something`s odd at Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, WTWW-2 continues to be silent as of UT March 27. George McClintock updates us: he is back home after hospitalized with COVID, hopes to continue recovering. Maybe will be able to go into station tomorrow. Parts from China to get WTWW-1 back on air still have not arrived, maybe in a week or two. Earlier from him with photo: ``This BARIX box will decode the internet stream of Pastor Peters programs. The old Media player has caused many drops outs of the program requiring a restart of the player. The BARIX box will not have this problem. It will be installed shortly. George McClintock 3-22-2023`` Front panel also labeled: EXSTREAMER 110. One can google all about it; typical price $ 305 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9836 USB, March 27 at 1525, 2-way in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 2324 UT March 27

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST
Hi Glenn, My latest Hitlist update. https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm 1) Updated UTC offset notations for start of DST: Germany (HCJB), Greece ( ERT Channels), Romania (RRI), Spain (REE), Turkey (TRT-VoT, TSR) 2) Canada - BVB: updated link to frequency schedule to an updated B-22 schedule (new A-23 not yet showing) 3) Germany - Shortwave Gold/Radio: Updated link to frequency schedule to point to A23 schedule (Thanks to tip by Lesley Illingworth in WOR iog) 4) Iran - VOIRI: deleted obsolete live stream link on old english.irib.ir 5) Romania - R Carpathia (via Channel 292 & WRMI): Added entry to list 6) Spain - REE: Updated link to new A-23 frequencies 7) Turkey - TRT-VOT: Updated links to live streams for VoT-World (which includes all English transmissions except 1630 UT), VoT-East (which includes the 1630 UT English transmission) and VoT-TSR (for the Turkish programming) (Thanks to Richard Cuff) 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. https://www.c-span.org/video/?526799-1/hearing-uyghur-forced-labor-camps-china For quick viewing, C-SPAN provides Points of Interest markers for some events. Click the play button and move your cursor over the video to see the . Click on the marker to see the description and watch`` 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: 2100 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035 USB [low power] 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Like our website, a noncommercial service for which financial support is appreciated; this week from Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh NC, for a generous quarterly check on a US bank marking the Vernal Equinox, to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA, One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** 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: 2230 UT Saturday WRMI 5850 to NW 2230 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE 0030 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to SW 0245vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0457] 0800 UT Sunday Unique R, Australia 5035 USB [low power] 0830 UT Sunday Unique R, Australia 5035 USB [previous episode] 2100 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035 USB [low power] 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Like our website, a noncommercial service for which financial support is appreciated; this week from Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh NC, for a generous quarterly check on a US bank marking the Vernal Equinox, to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA, One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** 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, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

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 seem to be modulation on JBA carrier vs high noise level at 2153, also too close to local 980 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) TIPS FOR RATIONAL LIVING Guns Don't Kill People, Americans Kill People On the 20th Anniversary of "Bowling for Columbine" winning the Oscar, you can watch it for free --- Michael Moore https://www.michaelmoore.com/p/guns-dont-kill-people-americans-kill This report dispatched at 0042 UT March 25

** BRAZIL. 9819.1, March 23 at 0644, S2 JBA algo, must be R. 9 de Julho resuming after missing from signature off-frequency since at least March 9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2183)
** BRAZIL. 9664.533, March 23 at 0645, S6/S8 music from R. Voz Missionária, way off-frequency again after a spell close to nominal 9665.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2183) ** CUBA [and non]. 9535, March 23 at 0651, RHC Spanish ID clashing with R. Ndarason International via Woofferton UK, which starts at 0600, and RHC supposed to stop at 0500; at equal level totaling S9+10 making medium-rate SAH. 9700 nor other RHCs overtime found now. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2183) ** KUWAIT. 7590, March 23 at 0643, JBA music, only thing sked is R. Farda at 0230-0830, a bit late for that long after sunrise; also with weak 2-way QRM from 7591 USB. Meanwhile no VOK on 7580 but that`s not on until 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, March 23 at 0641, VON is on at S7/S9 but just barely modulated. Something`s always abnormal at Abuja (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. From Lucas Bandura, BC: ``Regarding the 4015 USB pirate, it is still the Russian ethnic pirate without a doubt. The music he plays varies but his signal is very distinctive. I agree with Gary Pence that the signal does seem to be from some southwest US location other than Arizona, but I am still not totally sure. The TDoA results are reliable (which usually means they are somewhat accurate) but listening on different SDRs the location seems different. The actual station ID is not heard often, I have attached a recording. There is a bit of speech in a language I have yet to identify that he plays often, but I have no idea what it is (that sounds like what Glenn heard). I have also attached a recording of that`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2183) ** U S A [and non].
