** ALBANIA [non]. 5800 // 9395, UT Wed Mar 25 tune in WRMIs at 0140,
nothing but songs in unID language, Tirana as usual? Not for sure
until 0159 a few notes of IS before RMI ID and onward. See also USA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, UT Wed Mar 25 at 0100, RAE ATTW English
relay via WRMI, opening a ``new edition via WRMI 9395 at 2 AM [sic]``
--- but subject is conductor Daniel Barenboim as one of ten legendary
Argentines (well, at least born there), same evergreen edition we
heard last week; only wish I had time to listen to it straight thru.
RAE has supposedly closed down for COVID-19 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15370, March 24 at 1858, RHC is S9+20/10 of dead air; next
check 1952 is musicking. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, March 24 at 1900, RHC opening English, first broadcast
of day, and as always this transmitter-frequency is awfully distorted.
Don`t they notice or care? Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Tue Mar 24 at 2330, RHC English with `DXers Unlimited`
underway, Arnie talking about QRP antennas; mentions he [CO2-kaka]
tried one with 4 watts on 14060-CW and made 3 contacts. His speech is
fairly readable today, but MEGO subject matter of no interest here.
Wraps up at 2338. 11880 is becoming reliable so I will not remark
``SAWA`` this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11850, March 24 at 2330, RHC is JBM with music // 11760,
11700, and distorted 11670; plus and minus the 11850 JBA spur carriers
on 11840 & 11860. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 11950 is also on
with separate Mesa Redonda TV soundtrack, S9+20 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TAIWAN [non]. 5800, UT Wed Mar 25 at 0100, RTI relay test via WRMI
is *still* running in Spanish, and handily announces the original date
in the opening, ``miércoles 18 de marzo``, so here`s another
auto-repeating a week-old file.

9395 // 7780 // 5010, UT Wed Mar 25 at 0200, RTI Spanish yet again
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, March 24 at 2347, VOT English to N America was on
today! By now in post-IS loop, S9/+10 but noisy. Pause at 2356
restarting loop about to lead-in to German, but shortly cut off*
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9455, March 24 at 1853, TOMBS on WRMI is S9-S7, NVG but much
stronger than JBA carrier 9395. Both are on the same azimuth 355
degrees, same antenna type 805 in HFCC, and same power 100 kW. How can
this be? Something`s unequal. Rated powers of SW stations are just
that --- doesn`t mean they are really running anywhere near that
level. Propagation is pitiful today so even the Superstation on 9330
is a JBA carrier, leaving 9455 as the SSOB! Yet at 18z WWV reports K
index 0, solar flux 70, no storms past or future (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. Pro-forma search of all possible WRMI frequencies, March 24
at 2154, finds no sign of WORLD OF RADIO, despite System B scheduling
for Tuesday 2130 but with no frequencies shown. The 21-22 hour for
this and many other imaginary programs has been on the grid for many
months. WRMIs are either inaudible/off, JBA carriers, or emanating
something else (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WRMI survey 0100-0300 UT Wed Mar 25; see also ALBANIA,
ARGENTINA, TAIWAN:

0100:
5010 // distorted 5850, 0103 BB ID and rockified `Joy to the World`!
7780, La Rosa de Tokio repeat about AWR

0140:
5010 // distorted 5850, Mideast music, so World?
7780, JBA, still LRT
9455, Hal Turner
9955, gospel huxter in English

0200:
5800, music of some sort
5850, different music, ME/World, distorted
9955, R. Praga, Spanish

0230:
5010 & 5800 now off
5850 // 9395, Slovakia in English
7780, Ukraine in English, VG at a NY state SDR
9455, music of some sort VG
9955, no signal, off? ought to be algo with 9395, 9455 arriving.

I`ve notified WRMI about the distortion on 5850 tonight and last night
and they were looking into it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1539.96 approx., March 25 at 0035 UT, low audible het stix
out vs KXEL 1540.00 et al., no doubt KGBC Galveston TX. Splitting with
LSB tuning, I think the classic rock I hear is coming from it while
KXEL talx (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, March 25 at
0040-0053 UT, right across our LSS at 0047; starting at top end, as I
have just got the KGBC het below 1540. 1584, 1575, 1539, 1521,
1511.99, 1503(2), 1485, 1467, 1458, 1431, 1422, 1305(2), 1296, 1215,
1179, 1107(2), 1053, 999, 936, 891, 882, 855(2), 837, 801, 774(3?),
747, 729, 711*, 693, 684+, 621 --- but none lower this close to
sunset.

Note 1521 where Saudi presumably still closes at 2230? Maybe it`s East
Turkistan instead. First one, TA tipping me off was 1512, and I tried
to measure it as a possible domestic spur. Lowest off-frequency in
mwoffsetts is the megawatt Saudi at Jeddah on .992 or .993.

Big het from 711 is by far the strongest, but not much modulation, at
0051, nor any timesignal audible at 0100. 300 kW from Morocco most
likely; also hi powers in Egypt, Iran, and Spain has 25 kW (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0517 UT March 25

** ALASKA. 11755, March 24 at 1515, praise song in English, 1517
Russian announcement from KNLS, fairly holding its own against
slightly stronger 11760 RHC; still at 1556+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13780, March 24 at 1512, RHC still on in dead air, while
13700 is still modulating; no spurs at all. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [non]. 7295, March 23 circa 1845, end of the detestable Steve
Bannon`s `War Room Pandemic` via IRRS, expecting a second hour which
is not aired here; music fill until 1859 IRRS ID explaining that its
transmissions are in ``compatible USB``, so best reception by USB
tuning. This is NOT the case via current Romania (or Bulgaria?), but
may have been years ago when they were really out of Milano!

The only reason now to choose USB or LSB on these full DSB/AM
transmissions is to avoid adjacent channel interference from the
opposite side; of which there is plenty. All this via UTwente SDR.
Even 7290 has splatter from 7280 - Vietnam listed, not 7285, as IRRS
immediately jumped down to 7290 at 1900 for WORLD OF RADIO this
Monday, socially distant 5 kHz from 7295 CRI Urumqi, East Turkistan,
land of brainwashing Uighurs.

Note: from next week in A-20, different situation with IRRS shows one
UT hour earlier. Registered to jump from 7295 to 7290 at 1800,
whatever the adjacents may then be (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN [non]. 5800, UT Tue March 24 at 0100, WRMI still replaying
RTI relay test in Spanish, this one about the CV.

7780, UT Tue March 24 at 0200, WRMI replaying RTI Spanish relay test
dated March 17, automatically from one week ago rather than restoring
automation to previous whatever. See USA for another survey of what
WRMI is really airing these hours on other frequencies (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2026 monitoring:

Confirmed Monday March 23 at 1900+ on IRRS 7290, after a few FSN
headlines, VG via UTwente SDR, just jumped down from 7295. Note: from
next week WOR to be at 1800 instead on 7290.

Also confirmed UT Tuesday March 24 at 0100 on WRMI 7780. Next:

2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

** U S A. See also TAIWAN [non]. Survey of what`s really on WRMI in
the 01-03 period UT Tue Mar 24; I hope I`ve got this all right from my
convoluted scribbled notes; using direct or various remotes as needed.
I ignore 5950 presumed SMTV; 7570 & 7730 presumed TOMBS:

0100:
5010 // 5850, Robobibling in Spanish, Alameda Bible Fellowship (why in
the world are they doing this? The entire Bible is available read and
recorded by human beings, which ought to be more effective. Maybe God
is really a robot? Or at least more relatable to inhumans)

5800, RTI Spanish test repeat from a week ago
7780, WORLD OF RADIO 2026
9395, RAE in English; presumably old show as closed down by CV

0130:
5010 // 5850, Wavescan
5800 // 9395, Radio Tirana
7780, ``pilot episode`` of new show! Missed name, music. Not WS.
9455, ``God Bless America`` music break in Hal Turner`s favorite
rendition

0200:
5010, 5800, nothing audible at Alexandria VA, off
5850, music in Spanish; then distorted, similar to 7780 & 9395, not
synchronized?
7780, another repeat of RTI Spanish March 17 test; music // 9395 at
0225
9955, Radio Praga, Spanish

0230:
5850, Slovakia in English, very distorted; // 9395 not distorted
7780, Ukraine in English
9455, rock music, oldies?
9955, Slovakia in Spanish
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4840, March 24 at 0612, S9+30 of dead air from WWCR instead
of TOMBS, but still modulating on 3215; 5935 DGS at S4-S9. 5890 not on
air, nor should it be (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

GLENN HAUSER LOGS WEEKLY ROUNDUPS into one alfabetical file, posted
early UT Thursdays; but I do not intend to issue weekly notifications:
http://www.worldofradio.com/Hauserlogs.html

** CUBA. 13700 & 13780, March 23 at 1411, both RHC are OFF, so
consequently, NO spurs or leapfrogs on this band! Still on are 15230
and extremely distorted 15140, and China relay on 15700 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non?]. Level 3 tropo blob over SW OK, and level 1
edge over OKC as far as Enid, leads to BAD TVDX signals on RF 20, 28,
31 and 35, March 23 circa 1500 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN [non]. 5800 // 7780 // 9395 // 5010, UT Mon March 23 at
0200, Radio Taiwan Internacional via WRMI, opening Spanish program
dated Monday March 16, with `Galería Cultural`. 5800 quickly cut off
the air but the others continue. RTI tests were supposed to be last
week only, so I suspect the automation has not been reprogrammed to
resume `normal` programming. What`s next? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2026 monitoring: NOT confirmed
Sunday March 22 at 2130 on WRMI 7780, which has been reliable for many
months; instead, rock music, good signal at Rockport ME KiwiSDR;
checking WRMI skedgrid, it now shows yet another time for VORW Sundays
at 21-22.

However it also shows resumed an old Saturday-morning time for us,
1130 on 9955; to be confirmed, not by me, zzz. But it still also shows
Wed 2100 on 7780, despite having been replaced March 11 by TIAMS; not
certain what happened March 18.

Three WOR times continue to show on the System D schedule between 21
and 22 UT but believed imaginary, on *no* frequencies. To be certain,
check all possible WRMI frequencies, Tue 2130, Wed & Thu 2100.

Still confirmed UT Monday March 23 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, and 30
seconds later after double-IDs, on 9395. But that`s not all! Also on
5800, which I was checking expecting something else. It`s synchronized
with 9395 delay, not 7780. 5800 is good as usual but with squeal.

Also confirmed UT Mon Mar 23 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, F-G via UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Mon Mar 23 from 0302 on Area 51 webcast, and also
WBCQ 5130 heard via Alex VA SDR, back on air after absent last night.

Also confirmed UT Mon Mar 23 at 0345 the 0330 on WRMI 9955, fair S9
here.

While it`s nice for everyone to have several chances of hearing WOR
half-hours on Sunday evenings, I do wish some of these could be on
Saturdays; when airtime is apparently consumed by higher-priority
programming. Next:

1900vUT Monday IRRS 7290 Romania? to WNW
0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490v, UT Mon March 23 at 0052, guess what, classical music
still on WBCQ, altho March 16 was supposed to be the final airing of
`Encore`; quick check so unknown if new show or replay of old show.
Ooh, missed checking 0200 on WRMI 9455 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1654 UT March 23

Dear Readers,

Altho I can no longer produce DX Listening Digests every week, since January 17, I have been rounding up all my personal log reports each week into one alfabetical file; sometimes quoting info from elsewhere where relevant. These are now accessible to all, including websearching where reposed at www.w4uvh.net via:

73, Glenn Hauser

** CUBA. 5025, March 22 at 0633, R. Rebelde is S9+20 but suptorted.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba.

5040, March 22 at 0634, RHC no English but S9+40 of air dead except
for squeal, hum. 6145 is undermodulated, 6100 & 6060 good, 6000 off,
but see unID. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13620, March 22 at 1501, JBA carrier, the RHC leapfrog
mixing product of 13780 dead air over modulated 13700 another 80 kHz
below. 13780 carrier remains on after 1504* of 13700, so 13620 then no
longer exists. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, Sunday March 22 at 1503, bonus frequency for weekly
RHC Esperanto, starting late, but chopped off the air at 1504* while
continues on 11760 and stronger but distorted 15140. At 1502 they were
all blabbing frequency list in Spanish bound to be incorrect.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. Re: ``4015-USB, March 22 at 0041, S9+20 of folk
music, including lyrix ``Down on my luck``, ``Honduras, ``guns and
money``, S9+10.``

Sheldon Harvey replies: ``Glenn, on your logging above, the song being
played here is Lawyers, Guns and Money by Warren Zevon, on of my
favourite artists!`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, March 22 at 0638, S9+20 of dead air except for some
squeal. Must be the WRMI-10 transmitter, nominally off after 0200; why
on now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6000-USB, March 22 at 0635, very weak 2-way surprised to
find here when surveying RHC, maybe Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
