** CUBA. 15140, March 14 at 1900-1915, checking for RHC English at
earlied time, but: no signal here nor on 11760. Something`s always
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RHC website is uselessly outdated, and HFCC is boycotted, but does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
higher-band CUB entries. They are all HAB without breaking down to
three different sites; the Language column is always blank; and some
obvious traditional CRI relays are not marked as such. With kW powers
and azimuths which should make the target clear:

17730, 1830-2000, 100, 140 [could include 19-20 English??]
15730, 2130-2330, 50, 135
15520, 1900-2100, 100, 100 [NEW, Africa? not in ITU but SPAIN also]
15230, 1100-1400, 250, 305
15230, 2100-0400, 250, 160
15140, 1000-1400, 100, 130
15140, 1400-1700, 100, 10
15140, 1700-1930, 100, 340 [already heard it to 1930* amid English]
15120, 2300-2400, 250, 160 [surely CRI]
13740, 1000-1300, 250, 160
13740, 2000-0300, 250, 160
13700, 1000-1400, 100, 310 [spurs not entered; NO 13680]
13650, 2100-2200, 250, 135 [has been CRI Portuguese at 23-24]
11950, 2200-2300, 100, 340
11880, 1400-1500, 250, 305 [CRI? long gone; no tarde RHC English]
11850, 2000-0400, 250, 170
11760, 1000-1700, 100, 0
11760, 2000-0100, 100, 0
11670, 2200-0300, 100, 130
tedious, lowers not copied yet, but no new 9700 despite already on
air, just 9790-CRI, 9710, 9650, 9535; no 7s (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, March 14 at 2206+, R. Cairo tries and fails yet
again to English at 2115-2245: signature offset into UTwente at
S9+30/40 but JBM with big humbuzz, totally unreadable talk, cannot
even be positive it`s English. Something`s always egregious in Egypt
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.005, March 14 at 2300, VOT opening English, S9+25/35
into UTwente, plenty signal for max bandwidth in AMsynch of 13.53 kHz,
but news still sounds lo/fi telco quality: GIGO. At least is on air
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.
Glenn``

Harold Frodge promptly replied: ``Per
https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/licenseLocSum.jsp?licKey=3099776
the call is WQKF723``

Viz.: ``WQKF723

YOLO County

Oops, this callsign is not for the 26110 unit, but

``TV Intercity Relay License - WQKF723 - SACRAMENTO TELEVISION
STATIONS, INC``

The original tab linked, LOCATIONS, has no info on frequency, power or
mode, so I explore the others, and find that this is a 13 GHz
microwave link with EXPIRED license: [hard to get columns lined up;
see original]

MAIN tab:
``Status Canceled Auth Type Regular Dates

Digital Modulation Type: QAM/32``

Meanwhile I am monitoring continuously via Missouri SDR. Nothing until
*1617 in an interview, about 3.14 day, at the ``I Love Pi[e] Shop``,
off at 1626*, briefly back 1629, off and nothing more past 1750.

Gary Pence, KM5X, reported: ``You called it, Glenn; it came on at the
BoH 1630z, got up to S9+8db before deep fade out into SDR KC9KKV,
Forney, Texas. 26110 khz NBFM. 73, Gary, km5x`` - with a clip about
I-80 road conditions.

Lucas Bandura, BC, provides another clip, earlier:

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)

** BRAZIL. 11749.875, March 13 at 0649, presumed RVM, VP S4/S6
measured direct. Yet same date, exactly same time, Wolfgang Bueschel
reported: ``11750 two bad signal mixture at 06.49 UT: CHN CNR
Shijazhuang and co-channel Brazilian Voz Missionaria (// 5940.024
kHz) on odd 11749.742 kHz - likely?`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. Correxion to last report: the time 1610 should have read 1510
- as we struggle to adjust to stupid DST. Hope not many more!

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 1510 in addition to 11760, the only one on the imaginary
opening announcement, and to 15140 which has really been // for years
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13680, Sunday March 12 at 2144, RHC on here in Spanish, //
much stronger 11760. Not Esperanto. Unknown yet when and where the
third airing may really be. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, March 12 at 2239, RHC is suptorted = modulation
suppressed and distorted; think it`s Spanish but not positive.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 9700, March 13 at 0352, RHC music on new frequency,
S9+30/40 direct, not // 6000 English so presumed Spanish service. Was
about to match it to 6165 when that went off. 6060 is dead air at
0354, warmup? At 0357, 9700 closing RHC Spanish, mixing with VOTurkey
IS and IDs in English! Then off, clear for Turkey, q.v. (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, UT Mon March 13 at 0644, RHC DX program `En Contacto`
underway with Morse/musical theme, S9+10/20, only 49m frequency on,
and // 11670, S9/+10 undermodulated. Website Programación page
displays outdated transmission sked! NO details of individual
programs. Maybe repeat of 0140? Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475 AM, March 13 at 0403, anti-Christ pirate,
Station YHWH is S9/+10 but thinly undermodulated, overall VP.
Sometimes switches to 7470 depending on QRM. Per Aoki, VOA Deewa Radio
via Germany is on 7470 at 0100-0400, while 7475 is open except for
1400-1945 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9700, March 13 at 0357, TRT IS with IDs in English, audible
under RHC on new frequency, but it`s finished by 0358, clear for
Turkey, opening in Turkish as scheduled from 0400 timesignal, not
English. Meanwhile real English from VOT on 6125 but missing from
7285, one of the few frequencies they still announce at s/on/off.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.004, March 13 at 2329-2340, VOT English underway with
`New Day, New Choices` about ``world-famous Turkish breakfast``
starting with tea, eggs, many other ingredients. Main announcer of the
day is the heavy-accent woman; 2340 TRT-with-you-24h promo, 2341
music; 2345 `Did You Know That`, something about Gallipoli and the
Dardanelles in WWI until 1916y. So many bullets were flying that
despite the long odds, some bullets were found to have collided with
each other. 2349 music; 2353 s/off, IS to 2356* uncovering the CCCCCCI
which was JBA before. BTW, at 2350:45 my chair tremored a bit, but
does not make the USGS EQ registry of mag 2.5+ (Glenn Hauser, Enid 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
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2181 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
March 12 at 2127 UT the 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only,
S9+10/20 into nearby Noale SDR; lite musical CCI. 2130 into AWR
Wavescan for release March 5: always a week late here?

Also confirmed UT Monday March 13 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+15 into
Louisiana SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday March 13 at shifted time of 0300 UT on WBCQ
Area 51, S9+10 on 6160- into Maryland SDR. Next:

0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW [ex-0130]
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW [ex-2430]
1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035 USB [low power]

Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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)

DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS, March 12
updated with expected time changes due to DST
https://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html

** 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.

** 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,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 10125 USB, March 11 at 0733, finally some phone activity
on 30m again; sounds like Aussie accent but too weak to copy or ID

** ANTARCTICA. 15475, March 10 at 2155, very briefly seems to be a
signal here, not 15476, into Argentine SDR, LRA36? But then no trace
either on another Arg SDR, surely funxional from waterfall.

For this date had been publicized a 6-hour broadcast starting at 2100
on 15476 USB as via AER El Dial; see:
http://radioclub.perche.free.fr/?p=11616
That page also linx to LRA36 audio archives, new to me:
https://www.radionacional.com.ar/tag/lra-36-arcangel-san-gabriel/

However, soon after that went out on the WOR iog, Eduard in Moskva
said he had been JB hearing it until 1600! Kari Kallio, Finland, was
hearing something into Brasil at 2151 on 15474.90 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CANADA. 6007 USB, March 10 at 0736, Trenton Military found here!
with usual VOLMET; S9+20, nice clear frequency, nothing on 6005 or
6010, but missing from 6754. Someone must have grossly mispunched the
keypad and unlikely to land here again! What else is wrong?

I copy for about 5 minutes: Split [Croatia]; Ancona-Falconara [Italy]
= no report received; Thule; Ancona-F NRR; Ancona-F NRR. Terminal
Forecasts: Zagreb NRR; Split NRR; Ancona-F; Thule NRR; At 0739 gives
own time as ``0635z`` --- after years their own clock is still more
than an hour off! Then Shannon, Prestwick, Keflavík; Lajes NRR...

We can only hope that in matters of life-and-death, Canada`s military
achieve a bit more accuracy.

Jon Collins, Birmingham UK, was hearing Trenton on 6754 at 2345 March
10. Recheck here March 11 at 0039 UT: on proper 6754 USB, but ``time,
2335z`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. 15340, March 10 at 1622, Chinese talk and bit of
opera, S9+10 with heavy flutter, no doubt CNR1 jammer * per Aoki vs
Sound of Hope, Pingtung, Taiwan, relaying RFA at 0000-1703 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, March 10 at 0637, RHC English S8/9+10 and sounding
weaker // 11760 S9/+10. Only remaining // is much louder 6000 at
S9+20/30. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 0753 recheck, both still on
with dead air while 6000 is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 9100, March 10 at 0745, heavy noise jamming
atop presumed Korean talk amounting to S7/S9; i.e. Echo of Hope abbr`d
nonsensically to `VOH`, one of 7 frequencies with new 7640 added as
heard by Ron Howard with clip on WOR 2181. Not all of them are jammed?
Each may shift 5 kHz; this one could be 9095 or 9105 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. Mix Radio International, unsolicited but nice
appreciated eQSL received March 7 in response to my reporting hearing
them with classical on WOR 2179. Log was on UT Feb 19:

** TURKEY. 5960.003+, March 10 at 2300, VOT English manages to be on
air today, VG S9+30/40 into UTwente. 2315 `Weekly Commentary` on EQ
aid from various countries, notably Israel as relations improve. 2323
`Feeling Supreme/The Healing Supring`, repeat about the health
benefits of dill, this time read by a woman without the heavy accent.
2330 music. 2343 `Did You Know That` repeat about copper handicrafts;
music. 2352 s/off, 2353 IS to 2355* uncovering XJPBS which had been
JBA underneath, std denunciation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 420 MCW kHz, March 10 at 0748 UT, PK, 25-watt nondirexional
beacon at Olathe/Herbb KS, JBA at the edge of the persistent local
