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.

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,
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:
https://www.w4uvh.net/MixRIntl_11950_11935.jpg
or #139 via http://www.worldofradio.com/QSL.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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
noise hump peaking around 400.

356 MCW kHz, March 10 at 0759, ODX, 25-watt NDB at Ord, Nebraska
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
