** IRAN. Iran quitting SW as of today - Happy New Year
From new foroDX iog: ``LV De la República Islámica de Irán deja la OC
--- AER, 14 marzo 2021 22:22 22:22,
https://aer.org.es/archivos/26437

Según este audio difundido por el Whatsapp de La Voz de la República
Islámica de Irán y mandado por Dario Gabrielli, la emisora dejaría la
onda corta el próximo día 21 de marzo, pasando a solo emisión por
Internet. Debemos recordar que ya hubo un supuesto comunicado por
correo electrónico hace unos meses que decía que también dejaría la
onda corta, y no fue así.``

And from March 20: ``Hola, Al final del programa de hoy 20/03/2021 de
LV de la Rep. Islámica de Irán en español, Pars Today, han anunciado
que dejan de emitir en onda corta desde el día 21. Curiosamente, hoy
dia 20 de marzo es el último día del año persa. Un saludo -- Pedro
Sedano, Madrid, España``

``Juan Ignacio Gutiérrez Marí 11:34am #18 --- Bueno, otra emisora que
desaparece de la Onda Corta. Veremos si aumenta sus oyentes, a través
de Internet. Habrá que comprobar la calidad del streaming.``

``Hola, En teoría continuan en la web de Hispan TV, no en la de Pars
Today, es decir, https://www.hispantv.com/ aunque si haces clic en el
enlace superior de Radio, no pasa nada. Debes situar el ratón sobre TV
en Directo y entonces sale lo de la Radio en Directo; vaya chapuza. la
web es https://www.hispantv.com/directo-radio
Un saludo, Pedro Sedano, Madrid, España``

``Juan Ignacio Gutiérrez Marí 11:42am #20 --- Lo lógico es que
emitieran desde la web de Pars Today. Si hay que ir a otro sitio y
está escondido el acceso, les auguro poco éxito. Un saludo a todos.

From Célio Romais, Brasil, March 20: ``El viernes fue la última
edición del programa Conversando con Nuestros Oyentes y la despedida
de los locutores de Voz de Irán en la onda corta! Este domingo es la
última transmisión. Sigue el audio que grabé.``

To the WOR iog: ``Spanish still on the air this Sunday, as scheduled
(0723 on 15200 and 17630). Jean-Michel Aubier, France``

I post at 1518 March 21: `Célio Romais heard IRIB in Spanish announce
that their last SW broadcast would be today Sunday. Maybe that also
applies to English. Check it right now: English has been scheduled
only: 7300 at 1520-1620; 6040, 11880 at 1920-2020. Glenn``

``At 1520 into UTwente, China/Taiwan radio war is raging on 7300. Iran
is aimed 105 degrees for this English. New Delhi SDR gets nothing on
7300. Maybe better luck at 1920 when 6040 is 313, 11880 at 198
degrees. Glenn``

Jean-Michel AUBIER, Framce: ``Tehran heard on English at 1545 on 7300

That would be 5930. At 1840 into UTwente, still Albanian on 7305,
5925; presumed Hausa on weaker 9475.

6040 last? 1918:10 carrier cut on briefly and off again. English is
just starting, cut on air to stay at *1920:45. Good into UTwente. But
JIP some program is closing?? Says 1920-2020 on 6040, 11880, FM 91.5,
satellites, internet, phone; music not IS. Program feed may have
really started an hour earlier due to DST confusion? We`ll see what
follows. No, 1929 ``This is IRIB English radio; coming up is the
news``. 1930 chimes and news starting with nuclear deal, Yemen vs
Saudi Arabia, anti-coronavirus restrixions. Music keeps playing during
headlines. Hmm, American accents but a bit of an anti-American slant

which is S9+20. This time best audio is in FM mode, the two closest
ones attaining full quieting, with music and talk, tho lofi and with
loud F-natural tone imposed, which is all I can detect on the

347-MCW kHz, March 20 at 0635 UT, NDB AFK, 25 watts at Nebraska City,

Enjoyed the show. Above is from my own notes from the R75 with 100`
E-W longwire, written before consulting HF Underground where there are
bound to be many more reports:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,79272.0.html

** OKLAHOMA. 1460, March 19 at 1826 UT on caradio, KZUE El Reno music
modulation is cutting out rapidly at rate of maybe 8 times per minute.
Maybe CD player malfunxion? Nothing done about it until fade to dead
air at 1831 which continues until at least 1837. I was going to
count/time the cutting per second against my watch, but driving, and
it stopped before I could stop (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Friday March 19 between precise timesignals at 2300:00
and 2330:00, REE token English M/W/F broadcast, starts with Justin Coe
with new schedule effective March 28 for REE in general, nothing about
English in particular, but likely shifting to 2200. Here is how he put
it:

M-F 15-23 W Africa, S Atlantic 11670; Mideast, Indian Ocean 15520
M-F 18-02 N America 17855; South America 11940
Sat & Sun same frequencies and targets at 14-22

Once again, no mention of present NAm frequency 9690, which BTW is
near-local-quality now, S9+30. A much higher frequency in the summer
daytime is certainly needed, 17855 as used a few years ago, and it
will be interesting to see how well and how long it hold up, as NO
other European, nor anywhere overseas, is even attempting to serve us
on 16m! But over mostly- or all-dark path a much lower frequency is
required, like 9690, after, say, 2200.

Anyhow, I listen to the rest of the semihour, as Alison Hughes
introduces a `Culture` show, first about Bellini`s opera `Norma` being
produced at the Teatro Real, including beautiful yet heard-rending
performances of the aria `Casta Diva`. Next topic at 2321, cinema
chain reopens after closing in February, with new COVID restrixions.
Then, film-music composer García Abril has died.

``Antón García Abril (Teruel, 19 de mayo de 1933 – Madrid, 17 de marzo

** U S A. John Carver tells us about this week`s WBCQ `AAAWWW` at 0100
UT Sat Mar 20: ``Tonight's AAWWW started on time on 6160 and 7490.
Allan and Angela in the studio. Opening talk about being kids in high
school. Also some talk about still trying to find some more radio
engineers. We also find out that the B in WBCQ stands for Big Balls
Radio according to Allan. More talk about Allan teaching himself to be
an engineer. Then into general radio talk about AM, FM and SW. The
advent of digital radio and the implication of being controlled. Then
into talk of repairing old radios. Allan states that he's not
restoring as many radios as he used to and I don't understand his
reasoning. They've been talking about young people not being
interested in radio anymore and the lack of engineers and Allan states
he's not restoring as many radios so that young people can see what
they look like not being restored.

Angela held out until 0043 before mentioning Trump or politics in
general though she did make a remark early in the show about Covid and
the vaccine. Allan also stated that he believed that a lot of WBCQ
would be able to withstand an EMP pulse but that the superstation
probably wouldn't. Reading of emails at 0055 after Angela flashed
Allan. Cut off in mid email just before 0100 with no closing prayer
and then into dead air. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (via Glenn Hauser,

15140 and 15230. Separation is plus 286 kHz from 15140, and nothing
between them, but also a trace at minus 286 = 14854. Still there at
1501, after 15230 has closed. 15140 itself is slightly distorted.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 15300.055V, March 19 at 1439, JBA talk on fluxuating
frequency as I try to measure it, roughly 15300.045-15300.064. Nothing
in Aoki but EiBi has it: 1430-1500, Bible Voice, Canada, in Nuer via
Nauen! to Sudan; also spoken in Ethiopia. Surprised even Nauen has
such an unstable transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUATEMALA. 4055, March 19 at 0610, TGAV is S9 with hymn; 0613
prayer in English to JC, 0615 quoting James V: 1-3, not signing off
yet. Better than last night as noise level lower (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SRI LANKA. 15705, March 19 at 1434, JBA S3-S6 music with flutter,
unusual to hear anything here --- only listee is at 14-15, AWR in
Chinese via transpolar Trinco (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15016-USB, March 19 at 1448, US military coded message with
exaggerated echo and whine, preceded by ``For Retail Price``, copied
fonetikaly: 3QXN7CA7Z2VHULQHIIMBAWIXY5W34D but could not understand
closing weird tactical ID, out (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

WOR 2078 first airings confirmed UT Friday March 19 at 0130 on WRMIs:
5850 VG S9+30 direct; 7780 VG to UTwente S9/+10 but hearing some
skipping not on my original recording. Better than usual direct,
sufficient S9+10. Both also audible way offbeam at Bonaire SDR (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, March 18 at 1839, web address
www.theselectionshop.com -- a new program? NO, proceeds to SMTV stuff.
But that URL goes nowhere, nor variations with x, double-s, or stop.
This WRMI doesn`t inboom off the side here, yet at S9/+10 attains SSOB
status, slightly more than 15140 RHC - there is so little activity on
band to compete (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6205.032v-AM, March 19 at 0040, ROCV is S7-S8 into
Bonaire SDR, with lively tropical music but somewhat distorted -
overmodulated. Back on the air after absence last night (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
