** CHINA [and non]. 11590, March 8 at 1604, Firedragon music jamming
audible but underneath Chinese, i.e. RFA via TINIAN, adding up to
S5/S7 with a SAH. Long time since I`ve heard any FD, but surely they
can do better with a loud & clear signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, March 8 at 2045, RHC English seems apolitical at the
moment, but as I was dozing off in nap before 2100 French I think
there was something about Russia. Anyhow, The Other side:

``Russia-Ukraine War --- Castro's support for the invasion of Ukraine
will aggravate shortages in Cuba

The international sanctions against Russia will not only affect Cuba
in terms of tourism, but also as regards loans and collaboration in
industry and transportation.
Roberto Álvarez Quiñones, Los Ángeles 03 Mar 2022 - 16:56 CET

Raúl Castro and Vladimir Putin. AP [caption]

Cubans are greatly ashamed that their country has been dragged as a
State, by the Castroist dictatorial mafia, into line with the new
imperial czar of "all the Russias", Vladimir I (with the same imperial
aspirations of Ivan IV, or Peter the Great) in his invasion of
Ukraine. It is as if in September 1939 the government of Federico
Laredo Bru (controlled by Batista) had shown solidarity with Hitler
when he invaded Poland and unleashed the most devastating war in
history.

Flying in the face of all reason, given its location in the heart of
the West, and its culture, Raul Castro has placed Cuba on the wrong
side. In doing so, the dictatorship has betrayed Cubans, Latin America
and the West, and has isolated Cuba in a move that evokes the betrayal
perpetrated by Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Finland when, together
with Fascist Italy, they sided with Nazi Germany...``
https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1646322970_37850.html

May I suggest that any editors who find the above too off-topic to
publish, at least retain the headline and the link.

Anyhow2, also a reason to remind that due to the imposition of stupid
DST March 13, as a running dog of Yanqui Imperialism, Habana goes from
UT-5 to UT-4, affecting most of their SW timings, causing
consternation abroad where the clox are not, yet wrecked. Thus begins
a Biweek of Confusion until March 27 when most of Europe change their
clox and not coincidentally the A-22 SW season begins, prompting
further time and/or frequency changes; but Cuba usually takes another
week or two to decide what to do; while Mexico, Australia and NZ don`t
adhere to either date. Anyhow2, the first RHC English hour of the day
traditionally moves one UT hour earlier to 19-20 UT but stays on same
frequency, subject to usual switching and/or feed errors.

** U S A. 15770, Monday March 7 at 2034, checking WRMI reception: MUF
at 12 MHz at Nizhni Novgorod no good; S7-S9 into UTwente during BBB
nonsense; good S9/+15 into PEI remote, better than direct to here way
off the side of the NE beam from Okee. I`m preparing for WRMI`s new
relay of VOA webcast-only `Flashpoint Ukraine` at 2105-2130, so I
stick with PEI.

A crowdfunding campaign bought the WRMI time, since VOA refuses to air
this program on any of its scores of SW transmitters! See
https://fundrazr.com/radiowaves?ref=ab_4cROT3YnWyI4cROT3YnWyI
apparently headed by one Kate Neiswender, Esq., Lake Arrowhead, CA,
US.

Relay starts at 2100 with VOA News, the YL caster admitting at closing
that she`s remote. Isn`t it about time to reopen the VOA Newsroom
safely?

`FPUK` in 25 minutes has a broad roundup of stories from within and
without Ukraine, including outsourced from AP and Reuters. It may seem
inadequate for those of us watching MSNBC & CNN wall-to-wall. And
it`s
M-F only: as we all know, nothing ever happens on Sat/Sun. Anchor
Steve Miller says from next week, March 14, time for it will advance a
sesquihour to 1935 UT -- obviously 60 minutes of it due to imposition
of EDT instead of EST, irrelevant abroad. Can WRMI accommodate that? I
asked Jeff and he says they shall, 1935 still on 15770.

Miller utters ``ya/know`` over and over in an interview, as bad as
Christiane Amanpour. He never mentions this being on SW now, unlike
Steve Herman, W7VOA who twitted about it. For USAGM, SW is a low-
priority almost-obsolete ``platform`` of possible use in the wilds of
Africa.

Last story at 2126 is about a cameraman who was killed when the Kyiv
TV tower was hit, altho it did not collapse. By now the signal via
PEI is fading down; as at 2130 WRMI reverts to R. Prague in French.

R. Prague International was sacrificed for this but still has these
other times on WRMI in English, per skedgrid: 1300/1200 except Sundays
on 9955; daily 2330 on 5850; 0130 Tue-Sat on 5800; 0400/0300 daily on
9955; 0400 daily on 5800. Double/times with a slant refer to airings
on Systems with an upcoming DST change. RPI is of course another
station refusing to do any SW itself (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

cable channel 50 of Suddenlink, Enid, March 6 at 2050-2100 UT is not

HFCC-registered revived Russian language on BBCWS via Woofferton
effective March 3: still NO show, listening via UTwente and to
9771-LSB via Nizhny Novgorod KiwiSDR, to be alarmed should a carrier
come on, but never. At least this SDR is not blocked with plenty other
signals on the H2Ofall. Recheking HFCC as of March 7:
http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=BBC
that imaginary broadcast has been *removed* with nothing else in
Russian to replace it. So, never mind hearing BBC in Russian when
necessary on SW; let alone Ukrainian! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2128 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
March 6 at 2100.7 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, Villa Estense, VG

Also confirmed UT Monday March 7 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, S9+20 into

Also confirmed UT Monday March 7 starting late at 0405 on Area 51
webcast and presumably WBCQ 6160-, after JL runs over. Oops, it`s last
week`s 2127. I email Larry immediately that it should be 2128. Not
monitoring further but catch closing at 0434 by when it is # 2128.

** U S A. 4790, UT Monday March 7 at 0300 initial show of WBCQ Concert
Hall on Radio Angela, Uncle Bill introducing, says may have guest
hosts later as show evolves; tonight: Act I of Rossini`s Barber of
Seville. Bill refers us to web for synopsis. I`m listening first via
Maryland remote but there is that pulsing whine and occasional
uteblaaps. To Missouri SDR it`s S8/+10, no whine but nearby storm
crashes. Hunting around for best remote, my comments to WOR iog:

Not so good - Traverse City MI gets storm crashes now at 0315 as would
any in a wide area within hundreds of miles of the storm front from TX
to IN centered over MO. CODAR also audible. I haven`t found a better
one tonight. Wash DC area with less storm noise, no CODAR, but some
other continuous whinepulsing. Brunt of signal is heading right into
the storm area. Not making it at all to UTwente. Chris Smolinski
provides seven Kiwis at Westminster MD. I`m trying 8074 which is
pretty good but still with the DC-area whinepulse in the background.
What is causing that??

It`s tempting to listen to `Encore` classical music on 5950 WRMI,
stronger signal and higher frequency amounting to less storm noise,
S9+10/35 into Missouri, starting with Poulenc, Les Biches. Back on
4790, Act I of BOS is over about 0435 and UB says Act II plays next
week. To fill out the bihour tonight, some PDQ Bach starting with the
1712 Overture. But competition now from another BCQ, 6160, q.v. (Glenn

webcast before suspension, then about famous Ukrainians. 1543 about
Russian service of RUI, i.e. AWR Wavescan; and on to item about the
finale of Brazuguese DX program Encontro DX, canceled on Rádio
Aparecida. Dozens more opportunities to hear WS this week on WRMI
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770 - this just in to the WOR iog via Martyn Williams:
https://twitter.com/W7VOA/status/1500891270100799501
A crowdfunding campaign has resulted in VOA`s `Flashpoint Ukraine` via
WRMI, since VOA itself refuses to air it on SW, starting March 7 at
2105-2130 M-F after the news -- grid shows this will be at the expense
of Radio Prague! 15770 is aimed NE toward Europe, but remains to be
heard how far it may penetrate after dark.

I`ve hinted in the past to Jeff White that he should put at least some
NPR news on WRMI as a public service, offsetting crap like TOMBS,
SMTV, etc., etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5830, March 7 at 0702, S9+20/30 of dead air from WTWW-1,
while Ted`s Toy, 5085 WTWW-2 continues modublaring, prompting for rock
requests, and ``pinning the needle`` at S9+60 on my R75, hardly ever
happening with a non-local signal. Think of all the hot meals for
needy Lebanese which could have been purchased for the cost of all
that 5830 wasted juice. Unusually, Ivo Ivanov says 5830 was still on
the air and modulating Scriptures for America at 1058. Something`s
always loony at Lebanon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6920-, AM, March 7 at 0211, Slavic? song at S8-S9,
noisy, 0216 English ID as ``--- Radio``, dramatic exchange, still past
