** BONAIRE. VOA attempted to get airtime on TWR 800 Bonaire last year,
in order to reach adjacent Venezuela without the inconvenience of
shortwave, but first started after 0000 UT with HJHJ 600 Barranquilla,
Colombia, as I monitored last summer. Now a TWR deal is in effect per
this via El Dial, Spain:

``Antillas Holandesas
AER, 20/03/2021 18:39, https://aer.org.es/archivos/26720, EA2-0800
Según Erminy Fernando en el grupo de FB Cadena DX, la VOA ha iniciado
transmisiones a Venezuela desde las instalaciones de TWR en Bonaire
(800). Reportado 2100-2230 con el programa “Venezuela 360”,
presumiblemente de lunes a viernes. (Rafael Rodríguez en el grupo
DXing.info fb, vía Ydun’s Medium Wave Info).(via El Dial)``

Now that it`s Monday March 22, I check for it via TWR`s own Bonaire
SDR. At 2142 an interview is underway with someone fluent in Spanish
but with obvious American accent -- I wonder why such people don`t
make a little more effort to tighten up their dixion. Seems to be
about the border situation; and then another one about the pandemic in
the US, neither of which very pertinent to Venezuela. 2159 VOA ID and
sign-off, quick ID as ``PJB-98, Apreciamos su sintonia`` and back for
more VOA. 98? What`s that about, an FM frequency? There`s no PJB or
any other Bonaire FM station in the 98s listed in WRTH 2021.

While sufficient, the 800 signal is not superstrong on TWR`s own SDR
--- they must be deliberately attenuating it, understandably. On the
waterfall, much stronger signals show on 550, 710 and 910 which are
obviously Caracas, and 860 from Curacao (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN. Another check of VIRI March 22 to confirm whether still on SW
in English, despite reports that some or all languages would quit. At
first no signals at 1920 on 6040 & 11880, monitoring both via SDRs in
Holland and Ireland where I have been getting IRRS with WOR. But both
cut on late at *1922:30, again like yesterday without the formal
sign-on procedure but instead JIP English, something about Pakistan
just ending. 1923:40, music, ID as ``Voice of the Islamic Republic of
Iran`` and schedule as 1920-2020 UT on 6040 to Europe, 11880 to South
Africa, also on FM 91.5 for Tehran, several satellites, mobile phones.
1924:48 some traditional music; 1929:06 ``IRIB English Radio, coming
up, the news``; 1930 chimes and news.

I check again for the *2350 Spanish broadcast March 22 and there it is
via Bonaire SDR, standard opening with IS, NA, ID, Qur`an, on 5980
with splash from CRI/Cuba 5990; and 7230 with SSB and AM QRhaM, since
after all, Iran is INTRUDING into the W Hemisphere hamband.

So it seems that all this talk about quitting SW was a false alarm,
started by LVRII itself announcement in Spanish, but since then others
have heard them also announcing a new A21 sked for Spanish! It may be
confusion inside the organization, or even a power struggle? There are
at least three entities involved, IRIB, VIRI, and Pars Today. It`s
never been clear to me exactly how these relate to each other.

Anyhow, this has encouraged me to listen to Iran a lot more than I
ever have; remember even when they had a separate English for North
America in our evenings, called `Voice of Justice`? Not sure of its
lifespan, but I see it in my handy 2005y WRTH (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1460, March 22 at 1902 UT, KZUE El Reno with series of
promos for Grupo Fórmula, and more totally México-centric programming
as they plug into Fórmula feed every afternoon, not sure of exact
times. At least there is no jittering on the audio like during music
the last time I tuned by. Surely it`s not the only Unitedstatesian
doing so, but in NRC AM Log KZUE`s Grupo is filed only under La
Tremenda with two FM translators on 97.7. KZUE is a 500-watt daytimer
but plenty to reach Enid; caradio again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. VOA now on 800 to Venezuela: See BONAIRE

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2078 monitoring: confirmed Monday
March 22 from 1902:18 on IRRS 7290 via Bulgaria. Started late and as I
feared, not flexible enough not to cut me off before finished, at
1930:06, onward to IRRS ID with PO Box, and Feature Story News again.
As monitored via UTwente SDR: strong signal holds up, but so does the
ACI splatter from 7290 Vietnam and 7295 East Turkistan, which cannot
be avoided.

Earlier: carrier on at *1857:10; no sign-on but 1900:38 JIP FSN in
progress, not just half a minute of headlines as customary; 1901:34
cut to IRRS ID; 1901:46 *more* spurious FSN; finally cut it off at
1902:18 for WOR. Another problem is annoying skipping of my audio, but
this must be a UTwente thing, since another SDR at Curlow, Ireland is
not skipping, but just as QRMed.

Note that from next week, March 29 after the imposition of DST in
Italy, this airing shifts one real UT hour earlier to start circa
*1801v. Per HFCC A-21 the QRM situation then will be: 7280 still
Vietnam in Spanish; 7290 Iran in Russian until 1750, and hope it`s off
in time, but even more so, CNR China until 1805. 7285 & 7295 both
clear; but 7300 Iran in German until 1820. Next:

** U S A. 7489.957v, March 22 at 2226, WBCQ has shifted from the plus
side circa 7490.1 or .2, down to here, as Allan Weiner is conversing
with a caller about radio, evidently an `AAAWWW` playback. Also
applies amid `From the Isle of Music` Cuban hour at 0030 UT Tuesday
March 23. I wonder why the change; random or deliberate, and just
can`t land on .000? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6205.031v, March 23 at 0005, 0007, 0010.5 between tunes,
Radio Onda Corta Venezuela is now inserting Morse Code IDs as ROCV. S7
into Bonaire SDR, the AM signal remains rather distorted but sounds
less so when tuned in SynchAM mode. Another one at recheck 0120 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA [non]. VOA now on 800 to Venezuela: See U S A [non]

This report dispatched at 0300 UT March 23

** CUBA. 13833 approx., March 22 at 1352, spurblob with no program
modulation but hum; 13766 undermodulated with hum and no F-natural
tone here either; source 13700-AM is S9+10 and undermodulated; 13635
S8-S9; 13570 better S7+ and tone; also weaker traces circa 13503,
13440, 13373. Approx. 65-kHz intervals. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN [and non]. Continued from last report: 6040, IRIB English from
*1920 March 21: at 1948 about pandemic, and now via UTwente, // 11880
is also VG, S9+25 while 6040 is S9+30. 2002 a lexure on Islam starting
with a bit of Arabic; billions of people have been informed about
Islam; something about ``good governance``; New World Order in Farsi,
Arabic. 2011 song. 2014 reading an article from National Geographic
about Amazon forests, greenhouse gases, not just CO2. Still in
progress when chopped off the 6040 air at 2020:32* and 11880 is also
gone.

Like at 1920 joining program in progress, obviously there is no
coördination between programming and transmission on the odd SW
timings of :20 past the hours. Altho news on the (half) hour aired
successfully, perhaps the rest of English programming be pulled from
their TV service? which operates on a different schedule.

Anyhow, English is still going, a day after all SW was feared to be
terminated. I`ve heard the whole hour altho not with undivided
attention vs my favorite Sunday afternoon music on public radio
stations. Nothing heard in English about a SW closedown, nor did Bryan
Clark, New Zealand.

Spanish had been announcing such a close, so am sure to check next
broadcast in that language, from 2350 on 5980, 7230. At 2349 via
UTwente, 7230 is S9/+10 with IRIB IS; 5980 comes on later at *2350 at
S9+20/30 but dumps off at 2351* while 7230 remains. *2352, 5980 back
on with Qur`an introduxion in *English* not Spanish, now not // 7230
which is in national anthem; 2354 into Spanish introduxion of Qur`an,
and by 2357 both in Spanish seemingly matching. Now 7230 has a SAH
from an understation: CNR via Xi`an the only other listee. On ForoDX,
Spaniards suggest SW programming is now coming from the HispanTV
channel; and a Spanish A-21 SW sked was announced.

At 0130 I check UTwente for other sked languages: 6040 Arabic not
heard. but on at 0131 JBA carrier then Qur`an; 7360 has algo, Tajik?
Enough for tonight.

7310 Arabic, 9800, 9870, 9390 at 1456 March 29 via UTwente, seem to be
occupied by regular VIRI S Asian languages as scheduled. 6 MHz
frequencies not heard, maybe not propagating this early.

7300, trying again March 29 for 1520 English, like yesterday, I can`t
hear any of it via UTwente or Kolkata SDRs, just the China/Taiwan
radio war. But maybe it`s still on. Next: *1920 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** MEXICO. 660, UT Mon March 22 at 0407, `La Hora Nacional` so it`s an
XE, still on standard time until April 4, at 10 pm CST Sundays, after
which it goes to 0300 UT. Quick check of other frequencies finds LHN
on 730, 570, 540 but best on 660: likely XEEY Aguascalientes2, tho 4
or 5 others in IRCA listing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 770, March 22 at 0550, rock music, Spanish announcement;
string of PSAs including Secretaría de Salud Pública, Electoral
concluding with 3-tones which as pointed out in NRC IDXD is a giveaway
that it`s Mexico:

``Mike Jeziorski, Juriquilla, Querétaro, México; Sony ICF-2010, no
external antenna. International News MEXICO: If you are listening for
Mexican stations, pay close attention to the three-note chime at the
end of this announcement on YouTube:
https://youtu.be/R9LrXpVLpbE
The chimes end every announcement by the Instituto Nacional Electoral
(INE), which has been running PSA's very frequently on AM stations in
the months leading up to national elections. If you hear those notes
cut through the noise, then you have an XE coming in``

After that, PSA mentioning Tribuna Electoral, Zacatecas, so again it`s
XEFRTM in Fresnillo, rather than XEACH Monterrey or anyother (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) See also USA: WGN

** PANAMA. 18160-USB, March 21 at 2159*, HP9SAM, Steve is going QRT
but says he will be back next Sunday here or on ``56``, at same time
(starting when?) and returning frequency to normal ham usage. An
active ``17`` m guy logged before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2078 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
March 21 from 2200:20 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.93. Before 2200 was in
WBCQ IS & ID loop, then a bit of othermusic until WOR start. JBA
direct vs high local line noise level; but at 2320 check JBA carrier
into VA, MO remotes, as K-index is 5, G1 storms. No response yet to my
request to move us back into the night at 0300 UT Mondays.

Also confirmed Sun Mar 21 at 2300 on WRMI 7780, good S9+10/25 into VA
SDR, but poor only S7-S9 into UTwente; before 2300 there was only
music for several minutes, concluding with the anomalous ``PCJ Radio
International`` ID! again this week.

Confirmed UT Monday March 22 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG direct after
chimes inserted after ID.

Also confirmed UT Mon Mar 22 at 0230 on WRMIs: 5800 S9/+10 to MO
remote, 7780 S9+10 to ME remote; also on WRN webcast same time for one
more week, but by March 29 should be at 0130 UT.

inbooming at S9+10/20 clearly audiblizing the horrible squeal on #1
transmitter. Shares SSOB status with 15140 Cuba. Must be sporadic E
opening but unaccounted for by any MUF spot on DXMAP. At one megameter

too close for Es (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 720, UT Monday March 29 at 0554, tuning across WGN Chicago,
I pause because Rollye James is sounding like a DXer, discussing
whether WEDO is off the air as a caller claims; they`ve had a CP to
diplex non-direxional with something for 3 years but it should have
expired. Was simulcasting EZL from WKGO. Apparently this is a
trivia/quiz segment during her show. WEDO is or was an 810 daytimer in
McKeesport PA - Pittsburgh market. Per WGN sked, Rollye James is
supposed to be Mon-Thu at 10 pm-1 am CDT = 03-06 UT Tue-Fri; after 05
UT Mondays it`s `WGN Showcase`, reruns of previous week`s shows.

[non] BTW, at 0558 UT under WGN, I can hear the Mexican NA playing
from somewhere in the CST = midnight zone, so most likely XEDE
Saltillo, 24h as in IRCA Log; two of the three others supposedly
daytimers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1140, March 29 at 0355 UT, C&W music, ``100.1 and 1140 AM,
KXRB`` ID, plug a game with wine, mention Sioux Falls. From the north
dominating anyway on my E-W longwire despite night pattern supposed to
be totally to its NW from SE SD; likely really on ND day pattern, 10/5
kW -- unless it has an STA like more and more stations are getting to
run ND all the time with reduced power at night. Again at 0603 UT
check, KXRB country music jingle (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN. Iran quitting SW as of today - Happy New Year
From new foroDX iog: ``LV De la República Islámica de Irán deja la OC

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

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

``Hola, En teoría continuan en la web de Hispan TV, no en la de Pars

To the WOR iog: ``Spanish still on the air this Sunday, as scheduled

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

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

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun March 21 at 0028, WTWW-2 starting `Theater
Organ Under the Arch`, new earlier nominal time for DST season, but as
always the distortion on this transmitter is intolerable, especially
during a fine music show. Once again I try the #2 webcast which is
hi-fi, $ tereo, but intercepted by this: ``Website blocked due to
suspicious activity --- Website blocked: wtww.us Malwarebytes Browser
Guard blocked this website because it may contain scam activity. We
strongly recommend you do not continue.`` I could try using a remote,
but of course GIGO, they are also picking up the original distorted SW
signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Correxions to last report:
OKLAHOMA 1460 KZUE cutouts about 8 per second, not per minute
USA WBCQ AAAWWW at 0000 UT Sat Mar 20, no longer at 0100 UT.

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.96-RCUSB, March 20 at 1448 and 1525 chex on
Brazilian SDRs, NO signal from LRA36, which might have been active
this Saturday as it was last Wednesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13568 S4-S5, 13633 S9, 13767 S9, 13834 S4-S5, 13900 & 13500
traces, March 20 at 1436, all approx., spurblobs out of RHC 13700-AM
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
third-orders; today`s intervals about 67 kHz tho broad and hard to
pinpoint. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6960-AM, Green eQSL received in 6 minutes for my
report direct to Ball Smacker Radio <ballsmacker@protonmail.com>

``200W from somewhere in the Northeast`` with this note: ``Thanks for
tuning us in and your reception report. Look for us most Friday
nights at 9PM EDT on 6960AM. We now have a website with show archives
at http://BallSmacker.net Here's an eQSL!`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 329-MCW kHz, March 20 at 0640 UT, ND beacon AAA, 25 watts at
Lincoln / Abraham Lincoln, Illinois. Yes, there is a 15K town named
Lincoln, midway between Springfield and Bloomington. I was tuned to
327-USB.

335-MCW kHz, March 20 at 0638 UT, NDB BV, 25 watts at Batesville,
Arkansas, which is west of Jonesboro and north of Searcy. Now you
know. I used to know someone from there.

347-MCW kHz, March 20 at 0635 UT, NDB AFK, 25 watts at Nebraska City,
Nebraska; with such a grandiose name, N.C. is only a minor 7K town in
the SE on the Missouri River, right next to the IA/MO borders, a true
tri-state area (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2078 monitoring: almost confirmed
Sat Mar 20 at 1310, the 1300 on WRMI 15770, JBA but trace of audio
probably me; no better by 1328. At least I can more likely check it
now one hour ``later``, but really need to use a remote to the NE.

Also confirmed Sat Mar 20 at 1700 UT on WRN webcast --- shift to 1600
UT not until April 3 when BST have gone into effect.

Also confirmed Sat Mar 20 from 1935 UT on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, VG via

** U S A. 1540.205 kHz, March 20 at 0630 UT, strong het against
1540.00 stations, no doubt WKVQ, Georgia, 10 kW DAYTIMER as previously
tracked down; altho missing last night. If it be on the air at all, it
must be way off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
