** CUBA. 5040, March 31 at 0608, RHC in English, but chopped off air
at 0609*! Maybe one full hour from 0500 ran over. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, March 31 at 0611, RHC English S9+10 with humbuzz; 6100
S9+30/40 with less hum. No others still on air. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6125, March 31 at 0613, pulse jamming against nothing. R
Martí was on here a few seasons ago earlier in evening, but not now.

7355, 7375, 7405, 7435, March 31 at 0617, pulse jammings against
nothings, but each with a slightly different sound and strength, All
are present or former Martí frequencies, but not at this hour.
Something`s always incompetent, and with collateral damage from the
DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE. 9420, March 31 at 0315, ERT with great music, continuous
except for IS & ID on hour and half-hour, past 0500. Last day on air
forever?? Still at 1905 via UTwente, VG S9+30/35 in Greek talk (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2132) And still music at 0105 April 1!!

** MEXICO. 6185, March 31 at 0614, unusual deadair instead of eclectic
music from XEPPM, S9+10/20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 341 MCW kHz, March 31 at 0626 UT, EI, 25? watt ND beacon
from Enid is still on, so maybe not a panflash since yesterday. May
not keep reporting until it`s gone again (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WORLD OF
RADIO 2132)

** SAO TOME. 7265, March 31 at 0615 `Le Monde Aujourdhui`, about
Sénégal, S9+10/20. It`s VOA relay in French as now scheduled
0530-0630; and the only broadcast station heard now on band. (Nigeria
has been absent a lot from 7255- lately.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 338 MCW kHz, March 31 at 0627 UT, RYN, 400 watt ND beacon at

** U S A. 4980,March 31 at 0619, this TOMBS from WRMI is off along
with its parasitic spur on 4975 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4840, March 31 at 0620, S9+30/40 of dead air from Stair as
frequently happens from this WWCR, while the other three are nominal,
3215, 5890, 5935 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR0

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-oceanic JBA MW carrier search, March 31 at 0622:
846, 1107, 774, 711, likely resp.: Kiritimati, Spain, Spain, Morocco
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0123 UT April 1

** ALASKA. 6780-6815, approx. range of huge S9+20/30 HAARP noise,
active again March 30 at 0633. Also I detect an AM carrier amid on
6800 - is that part of HAARP? Nothing listed in Aoki. Others also
heard it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ALGERIA [non]. 9620, March 30 at 0623, melodic Qur`aning, S8-S9
from TDA via Issoudun, FRANCE. Amuse yourself with this:
http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A22&broadc=TDA
which mixes in numerous imaginary broadcasts covering 24 hours from
the still not completed own sites at Ourgla and Bechar, as in Arabic
only; while the real ISS listings include French and Aao.

That`s ``ao Algerian Saharan Arabic`` from huge language abbr. list
revised in December 2021, part of the A-22 zippack at HFCC; most of
them we have never heard of, let alone heard. There is no ao or aao in
EiBi`s less comprehensive yet extensive readme.txt language list
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, March 30 at 1434, LRA36 is on this
Wednesday, music and ID immediately, JBA into Brasília #1 SDR,
slightly better into Campo, where someone from Salem is already on it;
just noise at Pardinho. 1441 nominal schedule of ``miércoles 11 a
13``, = 14-16 UT; but already off by 1519 check (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EGYPT. 9409.995, March 30 at 1544, R. Cairo terribly distorted with
humwhine into UTwente, new A22 frequency for 1500 Albanian hour,
ex-9440. Stays on past 1600 timesignal, music, 1604 Qur`an until cut
off at 1605*. Something`s always egregious in Egypt. Nothing from
Cairo is scheduled at 16-17. 9410 is a legacy BBC GOS/WS frequency,
once exclusively English from UK only. Now in use most of the day in
variety of languages and sites, English at 15-16 via Oman, but I could
not detect it under Cairo blob. USAGM and China are also on 9410 at
times (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE. 9420, March 30 at 0339-0416+, great music selexion from
VOG, tune after tune seguéd but no announcements; some instrumental,
some vocal, some Greek, some not, e.g. Cuban rhythm at 0349, no
pauses. 0401 Greek timecheck as ``UTC: tessera``, ID ``Edho Athina, I
Foni tis Hellados`` and back to music. Good reception direct thru
interior longwire during storm, with selective fading to brand this as
via ``the dynamic medium of international shortwave, between the AM
and FM bands``. On what may be ERT`s penultimate day on the air
forever. Is there anything definite about the proposed closure as of
March 31? Hasten to hear it while we can (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 341 MCW kHz, March 30 at 0640, whoopee! Enid`s own and
only ND beacon, EI at Woodring Airport, is back on after long absence.
Still at 1757, ID every 8 seconds. I`ve been checking for it every
night and sometimes day. Meanwhile, noise level permitting, OIN in
Oberlin KS has been heard on 341: and often also audible along with
EI.

Last time I logged EI was August 1, 2021; and first time reported
missing, August 9. Since then there have been a few scattered reports
by others alleging they heard it. Possibly sporadic, on air at some
time I was not checking. The comprehensive classaxe.com RNA list shows
EI 341 last logged 2021-10-18 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** RUSSIA [non]. 1395, March 30 at 1836, the 18-19 UT R. Svoboda relay
in Russian via ARMENIA is still going at this check, good S7/S9 into
Tambov, Russia SDR, but with splash from adjacent 1386 stronger S9+15
relay of same via closer LITHUANIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, March 30 at 1911, the 19-20 UT R. Svoboda relay
via secret site, Armenia? is reconfirmed, S9+15 into Bryansk, Russia
SDR. No jamming but above some CCI? or rather voice-over translation
-- something which should be avoided on SW -- once established as such
for a few seconds. Still nothing about this in HFCC or Aoki. Left on
in background for rest of hour until 2000* and did not notice any
breaks (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed March 30 at 2200, token English from REE is VG
S9+30/40 for us; 15520 for ME S9/S5 off the back; 11940 S5/S7 for S
America; 11685 for Africa S3/S6. Amy Egan hosts, after news over to
Gil Carbajal with interviews about a revival produxion in Madrid of
Prokofiev`s opera `Fiery Angel`. It was suppressed by USSR and the
composer never witnessed a performance, how sad. He did rework many of
the themes into his Third Symphony. I`m not familiar with it and
wonder if and when The Met performed it? Wikipedia mentions no
performances in America, just western Europe except for a recording by
the Kirov Opera, Leningrad. Unfortunately, very little of the music is
heard during the REE interviews. I take this opportunity to urge that
despite Putin the Putrid, we must not reject Russian culture,
including the greatest composers ever. For me, no music is more moving
than that of Chaikofsky/Tschaikowsky --- whose treatment by other
despots was shameful (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, March 30 at 2204, nothing but RTTY audible direct, no
VOT English even switching to LSB only. Not checking UTwente until
2251, only S8/S9 of Chinese on 9830.004, i.e. CNR1 Beijing 572 site at
2025-0100, not a jammer. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, March 30 at 0500, Ukrainian Radio 1 via WRMI,
brief Ukrainian language opening, 0500.7 into English, `Ukraine:
Security Issues`, until 0506 back to UU. S9+15/20 into UTwente, but to
Russian SDRs: Khimki JBA, Izhevsk JBA; Pskov: better. So recording of
0000 broadcast now containing English bit, ex-0100, to play 5 hours
later is back in synch. There are no KiwiSDRs active in Ukraine, but
some nearby in Romania, Russia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2131 monitoring: zzz thru Wed Mar
30 at 1030 on WRMI 5850; did anyone hear it?

Confirmed Wednesday March 30 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490v. Monitoring direct
at first, not even a carrier can be detected in high storm noise
level: there is none nearby now, but plenty Blitz across Mississippi,
into LA/TN/KY; also scattered storms over NM mountains. So I have to
check via Maryland remote where it`s S7/S9 vs storm noise but OK on
webcast. An hour later at 2159 direct, JBA carrier detectable in storm
noise. Next:

0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 9395 to NNW [new]

Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9975, March 30 at 0625, KVOH still on with praise music in
English, S9+10, rather than 0600*. I guess they turn off the
transmitter whenever they get around to it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** URUGUAY. 28485 USB, March 30 at 2209, CX7RM and stronger Juan,
CX4RT both on frequency making faraway contacts if not each other:

CX7RM Uruguay flag Uruguay
Pablo Goldaracena Sommaruga

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-oceanic JBA MW carrier search, March 30 at 0635
UT: 846, 1044, 1215-2, 774: likely Kiritimati, Spain, UK, Spain resp.:
774 a bit early for Japan or Australia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0002 UT March 31

** CHINA. 9889.999, March 29 at 1955, open carrier, S9+30/35 into
UTwente as I am tuning around for Cairo and Ankara, but 1958 music,
2000 one pip and Chinese fully modulated. CRI Beijing site to Europe
scheduled this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9869.76, March 29 at 1956-1957* music and off, presumably
end of Russian hour from R. Cairo as now scheduled, signature
offfrequenciness, into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440, March 29 at 2223 direct, JBA carrier, hard to believe
it`s Cairo in English direct but nothing else is registered A22 in
HFCC at 2115-2245, nor as copied in Aoki. Cairo had been reported
March 27 on 9440, but not March 28.

9900 however has two weak signals, one about 9899.8 typical of Cairo
and the other in Chinese. Then via UTwente at 2235, Cairo is
definitely on 9899.759, customarily just barely modulated at S9+45.
But in A-22, ``9900`` is now allegedly for Portuguese at 2215-2330;
AFAIK the S American services had not made a comeback on whatever
frequencies: Arabic 2330-0045 on 9885 but unchecked; Spanish 0045-0200
on 9890. But checking 9890 at 0055 March 30 into UTwente, there is a
weak signal in Portuguese! listing a bunch of transmissions with
CRI-like music and off. Not in HFCC or Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN. 9855.002, March 29 at 2003, American English talking about
Shiites and prison, but interjexions in Arabic or Persian, including
``In-shallah``s, S9+20/30 // weaker 9835.007, S9/+15 into UTwente, but
much lower modulation. End of sermon? reverbs at 2006, then to YL ID
as Voice of the Islamic Republic of Iran; song; 2007 ``You have been
listening to ---`` as if signing off, on internet, SW, FM and
satellite with A22 frequencies: to Indian subcontinent at 1520-1620 on
11865; to Europe on 9855, South Africa on 9835, at 1920-2020; in
Tehran on FM 91.5; Hotbird, Eutelsat, IranSat [? WRTH says IntelSat],
parstoday.com/en and see website for mobile phone info; contact info
including P O Box 19395-6767, Tehran, asking for reports about audio
quality. But then at 2010 music and another program, `In the
Limelight` all about Trump`s opaque fundraising, $ 108 million in the
`Save America` PAC; cites Guardian, UK, and may be quoting it
directly; with music sounders --- but 9855 cut off air in progress at
2020.6* --- well, yes, it is time to quit their strange 20-20 hour,
but a certain lack of coördination between studio and Sirjan! Then I
check 9835, still on but with dead air only until finally 2026.7*
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 9874.998, March 29 at 1957 open carrier, 2001 music
and Korean, S9+5/15 into UTwente. A22 Aoki, already available in
userlist version, shows going from VOK in English into KCBS simulcast
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, March 29 at 1951, R. Svoboda relay in Russian
confirmed on air, perhaps for entire 1900-2000 hour, but not a good
record for such accomplishment. S9+20/27 into Khimki, Russia, KiwiSDR,
even better to UTwente S9+30/35 but sounds about the same: in both
cases somewhat overmodulated, distorted. But no jamming or other QRM.
Gavar, Armenia, site? We still don`t know for sure (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 9880.029, March 29 at 1958, VOT in French, S9+25/30 into
UTwente. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler.

9830.021, March 29 at 2224, VOT English direct is only S6/S8,
undermodulated but no RTTY; at 2236 via UTwente when measured, very
undermodulated in `Did You Know That` feature about a museum with
virtual tours. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. Richard Langley follows up on the WOR iog:
``I had the time of the English segment wrong. Indeed it is now
shortly after 0000 UT rather than 0100 UT after the clock change.
Airing at same local time. So Dave Kenny was right at least for the
29th. I had thought of that but the segment wasn't listed anywhere in
the day for the 28th. However, it was back today (29th) shortly after
0000 UT (03:00 in Kyiv) with the quickly speaking male announcer. It
looks like it was missing on the 28th due to airing a program on Pres.
Zelensky's interview with the Russian journalists. [As for English
missing on the 0500 SW relay on 7730:] Might it be that whoever
records the Internet stream for WRMI hasn't accounted for the time
shift? -- Richard Langley`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2131 monitoring: Since I`m already running
UTwente for Cairo chex, March 29 at 2234, I also check it for the
Tuesday 2230 WOR on 9955 WRMI, not aimed at Europe: it`s JBA under
heavy pulsing, OTH radar? not like Cuban jamming, adding up to S9/+10.
At 2239, Maryland SDR has very different Cuban pulse jamming only
underneath, S9+5/10. Then St Lucia SDR? Buried in high noise level.
Minneapolis? S7/S9 without jamming. At 2250, Bonaire? both Cuban PJ
and OTHR? mar WOR. See also USA: WTWW. Next:

1000 UT Tuesday Unique Radio, Australia 5035-USB or 3210-USB
[probably not starting until next week]
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW

** U S A [and non]. 9940, March 29 at 2250 after checking out WOR on
WRMI 9955 at UTwente with huge rapid pulsing QRM, OTHR? I explore its
approximate bandwidth: 9935-9965, peaks about 9940-9945 and a signal
is barely visible/audible amid on 9940. Of course it`s WTWW, as soon
confirmed direct in the clear at 2255, S9+15. So maybe that`s the
target of such ``jamming``? It`s still clattering past 0048 March 30
recheck covering 9930-9960 into Maryland SDR, after WTWW is off.

Ted recently got publicity on WSMV Nashville about how he is trying to
cheer up Ukrainians with music, no news --- but now he`s outright
preaching! 9940 has been active a lot lately in our afternoons,
presumably aimed at Europe. WTWW hours are always to put it politely,
flexible, so what about this on the WTWW.us website? Of course not!
But https://wtww.us/pages/schedule.php
does show a totally imaginary multi-lingual Bible broadcast on 15810
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0139 UT March 30

** AFGHANISTAN [non]. 7495, March 29 at 0117, S5/S7 in splash of 7490
WBCQ at Maryland SDR, sounds like Farsi, but occasionally Slavic?
Maybe clips translated. 0123 ID as Radio Ashna. That`s one of several
USAGM services for Afghanistan, now scheduled 0030-0230, 100 kW, 80
degrees from Lampertheim, GERMANY alternating semihours in Pst and
Prs, i.e. Pashto and currently Dari = Persian. This is on page 505 of
WRTH 2022 under USA, also on superpower MW 1296 in Kabul. Strangely,
the Taliban did not eliminate or repurpose 1296 immediately upon
takeover in August, but recently news that VOA and BBC have been
banned. So what`s on 1296 now, if anything? That leaves SW like this,
and maybe 972 from Tajikistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ALASKA. 6780-6820 approx., March 29 at 0708, huge wideband HAARP
noise, S9+20+, after missing a couple nights. Other reports tonight to
the WOR iog:

``With my MLA-30+ external antenna on, the HAARP signal's pinning my
radio's meter and it can be heard 20 kHz to either side of 6800 here
near Seattle. It's perfectly audible using just the whip antenna, too.
I tuned in at 0628, heard it momentarily pause at 0644, and it's still
on now at 0648 UT. Eric Fetters-Walp, Lake Stevens, Washington USA``

``Very strong into Victoria at 0634 tune-in, centered on 6800 kHz
March 29th. Off very briefly at 0645, but back again within about 30
seconds, but with a narrower digital bandwidth. Walt`` Salmaniw, BC

``Very strong 6800 at 0646 UT via SDR Frostburg MD, USA`` Ivo Ivanov,
Bulgaria (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. 250 MCW kHz, March 29 at 0638 UT, dash and FO,
1600-watt ND beacon at Flin FlOn, Manitoba, not heard in a long time,
unlike regular 248 kHz, 1000-watt WG, Winnipeg. Also audible next up
on 251, AM, Amarillo TX (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 13530, March 29 at 1424, Chinese, S6/S9 with flutter, QRMing
CODAR, i.e. CNR1 jammer against Sound of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, March 28 at 2329, RHC with no signal in English, and
5040 is in Spanish; something`s always wrong at RHC. Yet, for
yesterday March 27, Wolfgang Büschel reported:

``re Bauta Cuba 11880 kHz today March 27 / 28: RHC Bauta slewed 130
minus 30degr, real 100degr main azimuth towards Angola, RSA,
Mozambique clientel in South Africa. Heard English today March 27 in
23-24 UT time lot during A-22 season. and 5040 kHz Bauta relay in
60 meterband too. As usual back- and sidelobe signal in North America,
even on excellent Perseus SDR at Edmonton CAN is always much
decreased, tiny and poor strength. Today March 27 African service was
on exact measured 11879.996 kHz, noted as always on remote SDR
remotedly in Eastern Brazil Kiwi installation, on path towards
Southern Africa across the Atlantic. At 2355 UT RHC English hour from
Bauta site, S=9 or -67dBm signal strength in eastern Brazil Kiwi rx
remotedly. Bauta TX switched OFF at 0001:45 UT exact, before some
seconds of Spanish language service heard on that channel.`` When
11880 be on, certainly not tiny and poor here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060 & 6165, March 29 at 0632, by luck of the draw, these
happen to be the only RHC English frequencies running now. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, March 29 at 1425, S9+10 of dead air in Spanish.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9899.767, March 28 at 2122, R. Cairo back here for totally
useless English, silent carrier with occasional extremely distorted
modulation peaks breaking thru, S9+30 into UTwente and way down to
9899.765 by 2157 recheck. Meanwhile nothing on new A-22 registered for
2115-2245 English, 9440 --- which was however reported in the WORO iog
on first day of season, March 27 when I missed checking:

``Clear audio on the new A22 frequency 9440 in English from 2115-2245
on March 27. I could understand practically every word! Seems that the
announcing team is wholly female. Good selection of interesting
health, tourist and cultural items as well as World News. Radio Cairo
is using the transmitter with the hum on the 9410-9440 channels.
Modulation is much better. The hum can be reduced by notching out on
the receiver. The transmitter with the severe distortion is used on
9810 2000-2115 in French (they used 9890 by mistake yesterday and
co-channel to CRI). 9410 in German 1900-2000 seems to be co-channel to
BBC. Alan Holder, G4ZBH, Isle of Wight, U.K`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
Tomorrow?

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, March 29 at 1431, heavy music, S9/+10,
presumably the Turkish jammer rather than target Dengê Welat which I
cannot also detect; nothing on 11540 now where both of them had stuck
for some time, nor on DW`s other channel 9525 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 9700, March 29 at 0625, German closing with schedule and
satellite parameters, RRI IS and off; S6/S8 with flutter, so Turkey is
no longer here since B-21 ended. Nor is Cuba, but New Zealand is
reported active after 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, March 28 at 2159 I`m checking out the new frequencies
at the new 2200 M/W/F time for token English from REE. First into
Maryland remote: 17855 S5-S7; 15520 S4-S6; 11940 much better despite
for S America, S8/9+10 as lower MUF trumps azimuth; 11685 S6-S7 with
RTTY+.

Direct to OK at 2208: 17855 is best here so far, S9/+20; 15520 S8/S9;
11940 S7/S9; 11685 S5/S7 but no RTTY. Meanwhile the feature previewed
is about Rosalía, so likely another repeat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9875.003, March 28 at 2112, VOT English on incredibly
accurate new frequency for Europe from 2030, something about dioramas,
S9+25 into UTwente, but transmitter break during music 2117*-*2119.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. I was looking for Cairo, see
EGYPT.

9830, March 28 at 2210, now I`m checking direct reception of next
retimed English broadcast, for us, no RTTY now but only S5/S9; 2212
`Feeling Supreme` with a very different subtitle which sounds like
`Health Life`, and it`s yet another repeat about natural remedies as
sleep aids including cherry pie -- yum! 2220 next feature is the one
about dioramas, called `New Day, New Choices` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9540.029, March 29 at 1437, S6/S9 of YL in Arabic,
repeatedly mentioning ``Arabiya``. It`s TRT as now scheduled this hour
only, 500 kW at 110 degrees, yet arriving well off the back to here,
doubt long-path. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) See also KURDISTAN [non]

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, March 29 at 0459-0516+, Ukrainian Radio relay
via WRMI, S9+10 into Maryland SDR, continuous talk in Ukrainian
language only, no English. Also mentioned ``po-Russki``. Maybe it`s
Pres. Zelenskyy but I can`t recognize his voice for sure. Richard
Langley suggests that the English capsules may have got lost in a
merger of Ukrainian networks:

``Ukrainian Radio may have stopped the English segment "Ukraine:
security issue" around 0100 UT during the unified broadcasts on its
four channels. I didn't record a segment and there was no indication
on the Ukrainian Radio website that it was broadcast on 28 March (UT).
One can replay any segment of a day's broadcast. And Glenn reported
that he did not hear an English segment this morning on the WRMI
relay. There is now a special Web page for "Ukraine: security issue"
indicating that this news segment is available on line in additional
languages: Polish, Romanian, Slovak, Bulgarian, Russian, and
Belarusian:
http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/ua_security_issue
Not all languages are available on every day. We'll have to see if the
English segment is broadcast tomorrow. -- Richard Langley`` [March
28]

``Could it have moved an hour earlier with the clock change to summer
time on 27 March across most of Europe, has anyone tried for English
around 0000-0010 UT since 27th? 73s Dave Kenny``, UK

``I had thought of that but the segment wasn't listed anywhere in the
day for the 28th. However, it was back today (29th) shortly after 0100
UTC (03:00 in Kyiv) with the quickly speaking male announcer. It looks
like it was missing on the 28th due to airing a program on Pres.
Zelensky's interview with the Russian journalists. -- Richard
Langley``

Nevertheless, such English was not on the 0500 broadcast March 29
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. New WORLD OF RADIO times: IRRS SW schedule now shows
Sunday 1030 UT on 9510, presumably Romania, and followed by `Wavescan`
at 1100. Unfortunately, skeds for Wed/Thu/Fri/Sat will not load! but
presumably WOR still Friday 1815 on 7290, presumably Bulgaria, and the
previously scheduled AM Italia 1323 times; and streaming only UT
Saturdays at 2334.

Tim Gaynor is resuming SW from Unique Radio, Australia. Details at
https://www.uniqueradio.biz/
5035-USB, or alt. 3210-USB depending on propagation. From April 2
including WOR Saturdays at 0700 UT and Wednesdays at 1000. Also
streaming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2131 monitoring: confirmed UT

** U S A. The unID Spanish program I heard UT Monday March 28 at
0430-0500 on 5985 WRMI must have been this: `Antena DX` from Panamá,
reactivated monthly according to AER, which participates with a DX
report:

``El programa se emite por primera vez el lunes posterior al cuarto
domingo de mes por 5985 de 0430 a 0500 (domingo en la noche en las
Américas) y se repite el jueves siguiente por 9955 de 0100 a 0130``

It`s unfortunate that often there is a considerable lag between
something starting on the air and appearing correctly on the WRMI
skedgrid. Now it does show `Antena DX` only once, and at a totally
different time, Wednesdays 1300-1330 UT on 9955; while Wednesdays at
9-9:30 pm EDT on 9955 is `Aletheia Quest with Alan Fahrner`, whatever
in the world that may be. Wasn`t `Antena DX` once also on the WBCQ
schedule? But not shown now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Tue March 29 at 1441, no signal from this WRMI, so
final repeat of `SW Radiogram` is missed. Still in well are 9395 &
9455 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490v), Monday March 28 at 2330, WBCQ webcast after secret
semi-repeat of UBMP, `Camp Constitution Radio` starts without an
extraneous intervening spot commercial after its opening theme (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, March 29 at 0118, no signal from WRNO into Maryland
SDR; indeed had been missing lately at nitemiddle chex direct, but
also AWOL from nominal *0100 UT during DST (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-oceanic JBA MW carrier search, March 29 at 0640
UT: 846, no doubt Kiritimati; 1107 & 1125, likely remnants of Spain.
Not a total bandscan, but not much to be heard as late as this with
earlying TA sunrises and rising noise levels (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
