** CUBA. 13771 & 13629 approx., March 13 at 1503, extremely distorted
spurblobs from RHC 13700-AM. At first there is no recognizable program
audio. By 1523 there is a bit in FM or AM tuning, the F# tone more
evident in AM. Also then found second-order blobs circa 13558 & 13842,
i.e. plus and minus 71 and 142 kHz. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
But not this, when checked March 10, 11 or 12 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri March 12 at 2300, REE S9+15/40, not off the air,
with timesignal only about 0.5 second later than WWV, Spanish ID and
opening token English. This time Alison Hughes presents a show about
the Teatro Real producing, despite the pandemic, `Siegfried`, part of
Wagner`s Ring cycle. Bits of music and interviews with several people
involved in the opera from singer to conductor, producer, some in
Spanish only. At 2310 one of them could not resist comparing the
concept of the Ring, quest for Godlike power at the ruination of
mankind and the planet, to Trump (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. 6135, March 13 at 0628, French mentioning ``Afrique``
just before 0629*; HFCC shows 0600- BBC via VATICAN to CIRAF 37, which
is Iberia, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia. Also with a LAH, probably from
always off-frequency Aparecida, Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2077 monitoring: almost confirmed
Saturday March 13 from 1325 until music start at 1329, JBA 15770 WRMI;
nothing readable but sounds like my intonation for the 1300

Also confirmed Sat Mar 13 at 1700 on WRN North America webcast, after
FSN headlines. I think this will stay at UT 1700 for the rest of March

** U S A. 7490v & 6160v, UT Sat Mar 13 at 0100, a T-storm is passing
thru Enid, which means the computer is disconnected as is the main SW
antenna; while the WBCQ signals are too weak vs the noise level to
follow `AAAWWW` using the indoor longwire. A bit came thru at 0159
when it seemed to run overtime past 0200. So this week only John
Carver`s summary:

``AAWWW --- Tonight's show started on time on 7490 and a few seconds
later on 6160. Allan and Angela still in Maine. Immediately after the
theme music stopped, a rant about cancel culture started. Topics
covered included children's cartoons, Uncle Ben, children's books,
Aunt Jemima, the Land O'Lakes Indian, etc., and then morphed into the
gender wars. Discussion was interrupted at 0122 by a phone call from
Kracker but he continued the discussion and the discussion ran until
0150 when Allan started reading emails. First off was the new Free
Radio Weekly. Quick closing prayer at 0200. Program was off the air at
0202. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1930 UT March 13

** CUBA. 11845, March 12 at 1540 Cuban pulse jamming against nothing,
despite Radio Martí having abandoned this frequency some years ago.
Something`s always wrong at the incompetent and wasteful DentroCuban
Jamming Command. Other broadcasters may be on to them: HFCC B-20 shows
absolutely nothing scheduled on 11845. But EiBi has another jammer
country, China`s CNR2 at 0100-0855 via x site. See also TURKEY [and
non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUATEMALA. On March 12 I wrote to Radio Verdad: ``Dr Madrid, We
miss your SW signal on 4055. What are the prospects for getting it
back on the air from Guatemala? Regards, Glenn Hauser``

Quickly replied: ``Dear Glenn: Thank you for your concern. We are
planning to repair one power module next Tuesday, in order to come
back on air with 280 watts. I have acquired the mica insulators we
needed for the power transistors. I am sending the other two modules
to Canada to be repaired by Eng. Wayne Ralph Borthwick. The delay has
been caused by the extreme negligence of our Technician. May God be
with you and keep you with a good health. Dr. Édgar Amílcar Madrid,
Radio Truth, Chiquimula, Guatemala, C. A.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 6125, March 12 at 0430, VOT Turkish music filling
out English hour to N America, but with heavy pulse-jamming QRM adding
up to S9+10/20. Of course it`s overrun from Cuba after Radio Martí
quit at 0400*. Clueless TRT frequency management has not grasped it
should avoid any Martí frequency even when itself be finished. Nor
9830 hitting RTTY after 2200 in the A seasons which I bet they are
about to resume. Something`s always awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. 5800, Friday March 12 at 0705, S9+20/10 of open carrier, got
to be WRMI again on air during scheduled break for some reason, as
last heard about same time on Monday Feb 22. Wonder if automation be
mis-programmed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 12050, March 12 at 1538, S7-S9 of dead air in Spanish from
WEWN; for at least a minute, so not merely long boring pause in a mass
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890, March 12 at 0706, JBA S5-S6, maybe trace of
modulation from presumed R. Vanuatu, 2 x 3945; also S4-S5 on 11835, 3
x 3945, the three of them now starting at 0700. I`ve been intending to
seek previous fundamental 7260 until 0659 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2959.85V, March 12 at 0330, JBA carrier again suspected
of being second harmonic of an off-frequency 1480 station. As
previously reported on almost same frequency:

``UNIDENTIFIED. 2959.842, March 2 at 0207, JBA carrier, suspected
second
harmonic of a 1480-minus station. Later checked my previous log to
find independently measured within 3 Hz:

UNIDENTIFIED. 2959.839, Feb 22 at 0349, JBA carrier unseems birdie,
again suspecting a second harmonic from a Latin American MW 1479.9195
but nothing that far off in mwoffsets``

Meanwhile no one else has reported it; did anyone even try? So this
time I quickly go over to the KiwiSDR net looking for it at numerous
remotes around USA and S America --- nothing. So now I am concluding
it really be birdie from a local device. Never mind (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11342-USB, March 12 at 1542, 2-way, at first unID
language but maybe heavily accented English from a flight, reply in
real English mentioning phone patch and sending sel-call tones. But
nothing more heard for 4 minutes. Numerous 11342 logs in UDXF iog up
to 2018y as New York LDOC; tho maybe some other hub along whatever
route this apply to. What does LDOC mean? Last Day Of Classes, Laying
[sic] Down On Couch; or more likely, Long Distance Operational Control
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2216 UT March 12

** CUBA. 6180, March 11 at 0147, S9+20 of dead air on CRI relay, trace
of underaudio maybe Brasil if not CRI JBM. Also some lite pulse
jamming, maybe bleedover from Cuban neighbor transmitter. Something`s
always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 11880, March 12 at 0059, huge open carrier,
S9+10/20 via Bonaire KiwiSDR, so quiet that I thought at first the
tuner was muted. About 0059.7 a few notes of the Encompass IS so
evidently routed via London; 0100 opening ``KBS World Radio``
pronounced in English, otherwise relay in Spanish. This was found by
Ivo Ivanov as a new entry in HFCC B-20 for March 10-12 only as a test,
but was heard yesterday until 0200 with a VG signal by JRX in Brasil
who thinx it runs at least until March 28. Supposedly still on 9605
via WHRI at same hour, I did not get around to checking. Other
frequencies were registered via Greenville but AFAIK never tried. We
assume that KBS relay is due to switch from SC to NC, sometime. I
understand it is on azimuth 164 from Grimesland (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 332-MCW kHz, March 11 at 0716 UT, unusually a third station
mixing with IC Wichita KS and QT Thunder Bay ON, the latter weaker
than usual as it normally exceeds IC despite being 10X further. Part
of the call is overlapping, but ends with -IS. This is a likely fit:
FIS, Key West - Fish Hook FL, 400 watts. I had another fishy log of
this on Dec 14, over 2 megameters away vs TB at only 1.5 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565-CW, JBA vs CODAR, March 11 at 1451, K6FRC calls over
and over, HIFER beacon in Patterson CA, every logging notable as it`s
1.8 milliwatts. Never traced much later in the day (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2076 monitoring: Monitored WRMI Sunday
Evening / Monday Morning (UTC) 7780 kHz Schedule --- From my recording
last Sunday evening, 7-8 March 2021 UTC (note additional airing of
World of Radio at 23:00 UTC): 23:00 World of Radio (#2076; not
Bringing Truth to Life) (Richard Langley, NB, March 10, WOR iog)

New, now added to the sked grid. Has been 24 hours earlier Saturdays
but not on grid, so both now, or moved? This would have been at same
Sunday time as on Area 51 WBCQ 6159.93, but from March 14 that
presumably shifts one UT hour earlier to 2200 UT, further into
ever-increasing daytime absorption. I`m hoping A-21 skeds out shortly
from HFCC will no longer show a WBCQ conflict with WHRI over 7490, so
we can go back into the night at 0300 UT Mondays on 6160-. 7490
programming obligations had to be moved onto 6160.

WOR 2076 also confirmed Wed March 10 at 1050 when I happened to
awaken, the 1030 on WRMI 5850, VG.

Also confirmed UT Thu March 11 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9 but noisy

First broadcasts of WOR 2077 confirmed, UT Friday March 12 at 0130
just minutes after completion, on WRMIs: 5850 VG direct, and
sufficient tho noisy off the back via Bonaire SDR I already have
running; and 7780, good S9/+15 to UTwente, VG S9+10/20 to Maine (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1540.20v, March 11 at 0705 UT, major het against 1540.00
KXEL at al. stations, presumably again WKVQ Eatonton GA, 10 kW
daytimer as previously traced; little or no modulation on it (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2077)

** VENEZUELA. 6205.026v, March 12 at 0210, ROCV via Bonaire SDR, much
stronger than last night, power up from 60 watts? But
overmodulated/distorted, continuous music past 0230 rather than
frequent, or any, 93.7 IDs as before. Kiwi shows carrier varying
around plus 26 Hz, very close to where I measured it directly a binite
ago, +22 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2077)

This report dispatched at 0240 UT March 12

** CANADA [and non]. 269-MCW kHz, March 10 at 0726 UT, ND beacon UDE
--- could it be a Cuban, all of which start with U-? No, this one
alternates with a dash, so it`s Canadian, 50 watts from Delta MB.

DXinfocentre.com shows 16 U- Cubans, but all ``decommissioned`` except
250 in Habana - Playa Baracoa, UBP with 80 watts. Not even heard
here.

As in my previous compilation of Caribeacons, classaxe.com shows two
still logged in Jan or Feb this year, 250 UBP and 339 UAH Santiago,
and three more in 2020; but many more are not darkened yet. Lots have
changed their U- callsigns over the years; for security? And/or
miskeying. Something`s always wrong --- here, too (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 9650, Mar 10 at 2007, S9+10 open carrier, SSOB; likely RHC
warming up much earlier than nominal *2200 start and totally blocking
any Guinea. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ERITREA [non]. 17545.061V, Wed Mar 10 at 1530, S4-S7 Bayto Yaikl
clandestine via defective FRANCE transmitter, audibly wavarying as I
try to measure it, roughly between 17545.049 and 17545.073. Semihour
also only on Saturdays, brokered by RMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11820.044, Mar 10 at 1940, continuous Qur`aning, S8
with a lot of deep fading to S5; as always, off-frequency, but
seasonally showing up better again soporifically for my nap until
switch at 2000 to plain Arabic talk; probably soon back to Qur`an
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, March 10 at 2006, REE reactivated after missing this
frequency for almost a week, S9/+10; so, good prospect for token
English at 2300 W/F/M; now it`s a silly ballgame in Spanish. Yes, at
2309, guitar-singers featured by Justin Coe on VG S9+10 into
Bonaire.

Pedro Sedano sends planned A-21 sked showing 9690 replaced by 17855
for North America, total span 1400/0200. Should be good over daypaths,
but much lower needed over nightpaths, like 9690. Wolfgang Bueschel
shows alternative version, changing to 9690 at 2200; we hope (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2076 monitoring: confirmed Wed Mar 10 at 2100
on WRMI 7780, S7-S9 into UTwente SDR.

Also confirmed Wed Mar 10 from 2200:21 on WBCQ 7490+, S7-S9 into KB0FX
SDR in MO, but with some lightning crashes which Blitzortung shows can
be no closer than southern MN and northern MI

Also confirmed Wed Mar 10 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, S8/S9+10 into Bonaire
SDR, atop jamming but losing out as the semihour progresses. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

New WOR 2077 should be ready by early UT Fri March 12 for first
airings at 0130 on WRMIs 5850, 7780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11825.020, March 10 at 1535, S4-S7 of M&W dialog,
intonation sort of French but not sure. Nothing scheduled now in
latest HFCC, Aoki or EiBi; tho RBAustralia may run until 1500*. Clew:
another site, capable of offfrequenciness (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11945, March 10 until 1538.4* shortly after tune-in to
JBA signal with Doppler flutter. Nothing scheduled; maybe a pre-test
for the next one, *1700 Japan via France? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2328 UT March 10

** CANADA. 2749-USB, March 10 at 0253 UT, marine weather in English by
roboyl, S7-S9 still hard copy in noise level but better than usual.
0256 mentions R-C-M-P- and travel advisories; 0257 abrupt switch to
French by a different-sounding roboyl. Per
https://dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm
the most recent start time for 2749 in Met Area IV is 0240 from
VCS-21, Halifax NS, with 1500 watts; not specified as EE/FF unlike
some of the others. Nothing audible now on 2598-USB as the most recent
Newfoundland broadcast starting at 0207 would be over by now (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 13629 & 13771 approx., March 9 at 1538, JBA S1-S4
spurblobs with F# tone from 13700-AM RHC which is weaker than usual
itself, only S7-S8 with SAH from presumed Bulgaria BS. Second-orders
which should land around 13558 & 13842 not audible. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) see also unID CODAR

** CUBA. 5910, March 10 at 0304, dead air from CRI relay but as soon
as I tune in, power ramped up to quieter S9+30. Shux, missing the
ChiCom news, but maybe will eventually start modulating, underly
and/or distortedly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 9880-9885-9890, March 9 at 2345, checking for RFI/TDF DRM
test, the N American SDRs I try are not getting it, but TWR Dominican
Republic does, barely: SNR 11-13 dB, still at 8.08 kbps, S7-S8 and
occasionally decode breaking thru. Altho 2330-2400 a convenient? time
for NAm, this and all the others are axually beamed 105 degrees from
ISSoudun for S Asia; for how much longer? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, March 9 at 2349, another day of REE North American
transmitter missing, no signal to S Miami SDR, but audible on 11940,
12030. March 10 at 0126 direct check, 11940 is OK, but still no 9690,
just splatter from 9700 Cuba. If 9690 still AWOL on Wednesday, maybe
we can hear token English at 2300 on some of the others (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TIBET [non]. 12125, March 9 at 1555, surprising S7-S9 signal in
unknown language, but RFA Tibetan via TINIAN, NMI, is listed by EiBi,
not Aoki, this hour only; surely jammed but that would be in unheard
Chinese. Off after 1600 clearing frequency for CODAR only.

11550, March 9 at 1556, similar good signal S9-S6 in Korean, still
past 1600, i.e. RFA Korean via SAIPAN, NMI until 1900 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565-CW, March 9 at 1537, K6FRC call over and over, JBA,
the 1.8-milliwatt HIFER beacon in Patterson, California; rarely
audible but always around now in the mornings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2076 monitoring, next:

** U S A. 12050, March 9 at 1557, WEWN Spanish with ICR/RCC news,
surprisingly strong S9/+10. Must be getting sporadic E boost, but no
MUF blob on DXMAP to account for it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, March 10 at 0250, WTWW-2 is weakened, only S9/+10 and
fluttery instead of solid, furthermore undermodulated uselessizing it.
Only other TN signal any good is 3215 WWCR, aside from its annoying
squeal; degraded propagation also takes out 5935, 4840 and no doubt
5830 if it be on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 820 kHz, March 10 at 0142 UT, at least on the E-W longwire,
WBAP The Metroplex has QRM from an understation, ``You are listening
to the Zack --- on CBS Sports Radio``. NRC AM Log shows the only CS on
820 is WWBA Largo FL, U4 50/1 kW. Its night pattern is supposed to be
circular skewed SW into the Gulf; day pattern two tight lobes to north
and SSE; or is it on ND STA? We`ve had WWBA QRMing WBAP before, even
with same programming echoing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1030 kHz, March 10 at 0145 UT, Mexmx dominating, Spanish ad
with an 866-tollfree number, more music. First, to rule out KCTA
Corpus Christi semi-Spanish but religious: this one loops E/W, not
N/S, but therefore is still Unitedstatesian. 0149 ID by SHVA =
super-hype voice-actor so beloved of macho stations -- which is a
needed standard abbr. in DXing I have been glad to coin --- mentioning
97.3 FM among others. Mostly dominant but some fades down as KCWJ MO
in English fades up with its frequent IDs such as at 0153, 0216. My
first guess for Spanish E/W is WGSF Memphis TN, U12! 50/1 kW, 24h as
Radio Ambiente per NRC AM Log, but no group and no FM listed; heard
before. And where is our closest 1030, KFAY Farmington AR, English
news/talk U4 6000/1000?

0156, Mexmx is back up, 0200 fade for ToH ID, natch; 0211 non-IDs for
two FMs: 99.1 and 97.3. Ajá, that clinches it thanks to Grp info in
the NRC AM Log for one of the few other SS on 1030: WNOW, Mint Hill
(Charlotte) NC! which is a 9400-watt DAYTIMER, and it`s direxional,
circle tangent west aimed right at us. Its Group at the bottom of page
296 is ``La Zeta`` including a 1060 station and mere translators on
those very two FM frequencies: W247CV on 97.3, and W256BP on 99.1.

I never copied ``La Zeta`` nor any call letters nor any cities, but
this circumstantial info make me totally positive. Per WTFDA FMDB,
99.1 is licensed to Charlotte itself, 97.3 to Monroe NC. Mint Hill is
on the east side of Charlotte just inside the I-485 ring. Monroe is
further out to the SE, halfway to SC. Recheck at 0257-0302 UT, no more
WNOW, just KCWJ including at 0300, ``Real Country 1030-AM, KCWJ, Blue
Springs ---``. So maybe WNOW finally turned off (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. Re: [WOR] Heterodyne on 1540 --- ``Mystery finally solved!
The station at 1540.195 kHz as monitored from the KiWi SDR in
Woodstock, GA and confirmed at my home location in Buford, GA is in
fact WKVQ in Eatonton, GA. I actually heard a station ID at just past
1900 UT on 9 March with someone in between Gospel songs announcing
"WKVQ ...1540 on your AM dial...Eatonton". WKVQ as monitored on KiWi
SDR in Woodstock, Georgia USA, 1540.195 kHz SDR center, Sync Upper
Sideband mode, waterfall/spectrum capture, and audio of ID at 1900 UT
on 9 March 2021:

[and non] Here`s something else? on the IRCA iog: ``Rob Keeney 2:31 am
#18357 --- I've got a weak carrier showing on 1540.209 tonight on an
approx bearing of 108° from Harker Heights TX, which is much farther
south than what Fred is talking about. Rob Keeney, Harker Heights TX,
Airspy HF+ Discovery, YouLoop, XHDATA D-808 barefoot``

H.H. is a 26K suburb of Killeen, not even indexed in regular Atlas,
i.e. near Waco and Temple, north of Austin. 108 degrees from there
misses USA entirely, between Florida and Cuba, across Hispaniola, St.
Vincent, skims the NE coast of Brasil. Any 1540s around there? None in
Caribbean but plenty in Brasil, a few in the nordeste. BTW, WRTH 2021
page 554 shows Bahamas 1540 ZNS as in Freeport instead of Nassau. 810
is the one in Freeport, page 93 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6205, March 9 at 1915-1925, weak S4 open carrier into
Bonaire SDR, ROCV testing another frequency; via WOR iog:

``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain. VENEZUELA, 6205, R. O. C. V., El Tigre,
according with a whatsapp from the station, R. O. C. V is testing
right now on 6205 with only carrier, later will test audio, music, 60
watts power. Checking via SDR Kiwi remote receiver in Bonaire, 1535,
09-03, fair carrier, no audio``

Audio-visually, without BFO on Bonaire, nor on waterfall, not
noticeably different from S4 band noise level. But also audible &
visible are local Bonaire S5 noise peaks circa 6215 and 6150, and more
~65 kHz above and below. ROCV too weak to register any frequency
offset.

By 0224 UT March 10 check on my own rx, a JBA carrier which I can
measure as 6205.022. What`s next? Likely to confront Europirate and
other QRM here. Meanwhile some other N Americans are hearing it better

UNIDENTIFIED. 5984.0-CW, March 10 at 0305-0307*, can`t help but notice
some automated Morse code as I bandscan, fortunately before WRMI comes
up on 5985. Includes a lot of numbers but not totally as if spy. Never
copied a DE or an ID. EiBi includes lots of utes, but nothing here nor
on 5985.

Search of the UDXF iog immediately gets two and only two hits on 5984.
Including on 4 July *2013*, Russian Navy on 8345, lots of messages
copied including one calling for a QSX [reply] on 5984. RCV was often
being called, which I logged Feb 24, 2021 near the same hour on
another intruding frequency, 5916.0-CW, Sevastopol`, Crimea. I did not
remember that frequency in time to check it again.

UDXF info came from:

UNIDENTIFIED. 13832-13900 approx., March 9 at 1542, weak CODAR across

calls CODAR, with a Feb 16-17 survey at 0444 on the 4 MHz band, 2234
