** 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RHC website is uselessly outdated, and HFCC is boycotted, but does register with ITU, for A-23 as of 23 February latest: I pull out the higher-band CUB entries.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 Transmit Location KOVR Studio 2713 KOVR Drive West Sacramento, CA YOLO County 38-35-31.9 N, 121-32-47.9 W Radio Service: TI - TV Intercity Relay`` 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 Grant 05/01/2009 Expiration 12/01/2022 Effective 05/06/2021 Cancellation 01/18/2022`` ADMIN tab: also says ``LICENSE CANCELED`` PATH tab: ``Path Frequencies Tolerance EIRP ATPC Emission Designators 013025.00000000-013050.00000000 0.00500% 76.4dBm No 25M0D7W Baseband Digital Rate (kbps): 90000.0 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: ``KOVR Studio Transmitter Link 26110 FM 1434 UTC 13 MAR 2023`` https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ncCWQlJIv70 of 10+ minutes recorded in Pennsylvania (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2181 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday March 14 at 0030 ex-0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+5/15 into Maryland SDR. This one preceded by Jeff`s ``The world is in turmoil...`` ad. Next: 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW [ex-2430] 1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035 USB [low power] 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW [ex-2200] 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW [ex-0130] 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 James Ferry, Thornville OH, ``Thanks for providing SW frequency schedules`` with a contribution via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com - in US funds but not necessarily. One may also contribute via postal MO or check on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. In a message dated 3/6/2023 10:48:31 AM Central Standard Time, wghauser@yahoo.com writes: ``George, Last night at 0737 UT I had an S6/S7 open carrier on 9475. Was that WTWW? Glenn`` ``YES>`` (George McClintock, March 14, via gh, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, March 14 at 0226 & 2307 chex, WTWW is off again. In case you be unfamiliar, here is what we are missing: https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2011/07/15/influential-christian-identity-pastor-dies https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Peter_J._Peters (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) 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) This report despatched at 2317 UT March 14

** 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] 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW [ex-2200] 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW [ex-0130] 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 James Ferry, Thornville OH, ``Thanks for providing SW frequency schedules`` with a contribution via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com - in US funds but not necessarily. One may also contribute via postal MO or check on a US bank to: 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 Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0017 UT March 14

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) ** U S A [and non].

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

One may also contribute via postal MO or check on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** 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 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0510 UT March 12

** 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.
