** GERMANY. 3955, March 15 at 1805, `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot`,
monthly via Channel 292, playing what else, Irish music, S9+10/15 into
UTwente; co-timed with Met Opera`s Fidelio. 3955 seems to have slight
CCI, unknown what. Much better on // 9670 S9+20. 1810 tribute to
Roberta Flack, with ``Killing Me Softly``, a beautiful song, but I`ve
always found that title/_expression_ repulsive! 1815 to main music:
Corsica, very nice. 1900 into Radio Six International, Scotland (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, March 15 at 0614, JBA carrier direct, presumed
Station YHWH running late again, and nothing else scheduled.
Also, fixing a typo in my previous report:
** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, March 14 at 0331, Station YHWH, anti-Christ
pirate, VG S9+10 into northern Utah SDR, tnx tip from Ron Howard who
found him on air early by 0250. I had not heard him direct for a
while, mostly listening later than that. Now with good modulation too.
0342 theme? song. 0347 must worship Yahweh alone. 0349 some RTTY QRM
on upper side, also some SSB nearby but could not pin it down;
quit/off by 0352*. I happened to run across this on YT:...
Re Station YHWH report with the YT of ``Days of Hard Life``, Rick
Barton, AZ, replies: ``I had corresponded with the op sometime back
and he wrote that the song was actually recorded under the pseudonym
"Lace" by himself and his (then) wife. He sent me a CD that had it and
a few other songs they did at the time. best``
And Yahoo mail has this great new AI thing, summarizing what`s in
emails, and gets this TOTALLY WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG:
``- Rick in Arizona -- Rick acknowledges your correspondence regarding
the song 'Lace' by Glenn Hauser and confirms that it was indeed
recorded under the pseudonym 'Lace' by Glenn Hauser and his wife.
Created by Yahoo Mail. Was this helpful?`` DAMN NOT, GO AWAY!!!!
WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Are others getting these intrusions??
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 780, March 14 at 2211 UT, KSPI Stillwater is
still off the air. Now I`m bandscanning on caradio with less noise
than in the house, yet more than usual in the garage. Shortly after my
previous report, circa 2200 UT I saw a notice on TV coverage of the
wildfires, that part of Stillwater was being evacuated! 93.9, KSPI-FM
however is still on air at 2218, separately programmed anyway and I
can`t tell whether the mere translator of 780 on 94.3 be on the air.
What else? By next check 1540 UT March 15, 780 is back on the air.
Only other semi-local AM signal missing is 1120, KETU Catoosa [Tulsa].
By next check 1540 UT March 15, 1120 is back on the air. There were
lots of power outages even unto areas not directly fire-threatened.
690, KGGF Coffeyville KS, almost in OK, is VG as usual, reporting
about power outages.
860, KKOW Pittsburg KS, almost in OK too, is JBA, despite 10 kW like
KGGF. It`s always somewhat weaker due to higher frequency, but maybe
underpowered now. At 2212 heard them mention 97.5, their mere
translator, and thought I heard previous callsign KOAM, but maybe I
was dreamagining that.
101.9, KTST OKC allowed itself to be interrupted at 2219 by a fire
warning concerning north Lincoln County. Did not hear that on any
other station, but couldn`t check all of them in time.
91.7, KOSU Stillwater still very much on the air with fire coverage
from some TV station pre-empting NPR ATC at 2217.
91.5, gospel huxter in Kansas with big hum and seems mono, at 2217.
That`s KSNS Medicine Lodge, almost in OK. Same defect a few days ago
as I tuned across. Some months ago we had reports about it being for
sale, by locals, tho owned by `Florida Public Radio`. Haven`t kept up
with any further news about that. This nothing to do with the
wildfires (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 162.475 MHz, WXL48, Enid Weather Radio we can now monitor
conveniently as channel 4 on the weather band of our new C Crane
Skywave SSB2. KFOR/NBC, KWTV/CBS and KOCO/ABC all blew away their
network news at 2230 UT March 14; KWTV did have some time for
commercials during the emergency. It and KOCO went back to networx for
prime time from 0000 UT March 15, but KFOR kept on wildfire coverage
until 0100. KOKH/Fox wasn`t doing much at all, as who needs it? Our
sky all afternoon was orange/yellow from all the blowing dust and
smoke. A far cry from the absolutely clear view of the Total Lunar
Eclipse last night. High winds also caused lots of power outages, but
so far not for us (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** SPAIN. 12030, Fri Mar 14 at 2306, token English from SNR, VG S9/+15
into Maryland SDR, backward from ME beam, almost as good as NAm
channel 9690 S9+15/30; also SAm`s 17715 JBA S4/S6 and trace of 17755
for Africa. Topic anniversary of something that happened on March 14,
2020 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [non]. 5960, Mar 14 at 2306, no signal direct of VOT
English; and shortly no signal either into UTwente except a noisy
frequency, nor on possible altmistake 9610, rather Mongolian from
China. Furthermore, Mar 15 at 0411 check into UTwente, no VOT on 6125
or 7285. Somethings always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A [non]. DOGE criminals have reportedly hit USAGM, starting to
close various subsidiary services, before VOA: March 15 at 1836, VOA
French still going VG on 15730 BOTSWANA S9+25/30, and at 1841, 12075
via VATICAN, violating Separation Of Church And State. VOA English
still going at 1837 on 15580 BOTSWANA; VOA Amharic at 1839 still going
via KUWAIT on 13765; all checked via UTwente. Some other VOA languages
have been replaced by music, if still on the air, as well as R. Ashna,
and Deewa per Jose Jacob. See this:
VOA STAFF PUT ON LEAVE AFTER TRUMP ORDERS CUTS, by Nathan Layne:

completion.
Also confirmed UT Saturday March 15 at 0300 on WTWW 5085, active

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, March 14 at 2353, into Maryland
SDR, as NH is busy: 9330 WLCR Portuguese S9+10/20. 7490 -75 Hz =
7489.925, FKB? S9+10/20. 6160 OFF. 5130 OFF. 3265 OFF. But at *2355,
5130 on with IS & ID, S9/+10. March 15 at 0000, 5 & 7 join for WTO
theme and AAAWWW, with different talkovers, so new. 0007 `Pirates of
the Airwaves` song. First topic is whether Cream Soda is
amber-colored. Allan adamantly says yes, Angela goes for pink. Someone
sends a shot of `red` cream soda. They spend quite a bit of time
debating this earth-shaking topic. How many transmitters do they have?
15, 16 or 17, including backups; but 6 or 10 main ones. Exactly?! At
0021 says also on 9330 and so they are by now. Offers transmitters to
Donald and Elon, whom they love; ``we are the real Voice of America``
- is their cream soda spiked? 0024 playing some more music and I doze
off. By 0045 reading some Free Radio Weekly items from last week`s
issue. 0058 NH SDR opens up so I try 7490, and find the ACI from VOA R
Ashna via KUWAIT which remains 0030-0100, and now a problem when it
was not last week with AAAWWW a real UT hour later. 0059 prayer and
over to Hal Turner (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 780, March 15 at 0640 UT, WBBM with `StarDate` about Spica
at its reliable time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 550, March 15 at 0634 UT and still at 0653, 1
kHz tone alternating with loop announcement, approx.: ``This is
Westwood One, SES-11, transponder 17, for receiver authorization,
please call Denver operations center, 720-873-5177 between 8 am and 10
pm eastern time``. Since when is Denver on EDT? Another instance of
Eastern zone hegemony. Same thing I was hearing one week ago during
the DST Hour Of Confusion, on WWL and at least tones on several other
MW frequencies, but bandscan tonight does not find any others --
however, at 0644 there is dead air on 850 KOA and 870 WWL. 550
dominant signal is most likely KTRS St Louis MO; two Texans, KCRS and
KTSA are unfavorable, and KFRM KS is low-powered at night (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1030 kHz, March 15 at 0645 UT, romantic song in Spanish
-- oops, the romance is with Jesus. Only two candidates in the NRC AM
Log: KCWJ, Blue Springs MO, 500 watts at night and direxional
thisaway; or 50 kW daytimer +limited hours KCTA Corpus Christi TX
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9936.0 AM, March 15 at 0618 UT, S8/S9 open carrier
except for clix, at the rate of 20/minute = every 3 seconds, JBA out
to 9923/9950, +/- 13 or 14 kHz. What is this? Yet another one ending
in -6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

``Days of Hard Life by Lace from YHWH Pirate Station Opening
Nelson Ogden 648 subscribers 1,287 views Oct 14, *2016*
Here is the opening to one of YHWH's shortwave broadcasts. I recorded
this from WBCQ's board feed online (not off air) for best sound
quality. YHWH used to be a pirate broadcaster, but after being busted
by the FCC, no longer operates. He did, however, run two specials on
WBCQ 7490 kHz. This is the opening to one of them.
The host has previously quoted this song as "Days of Hard Life" by
Lace. The only Lace I can find is a country and western band. This is
certainly not their music. In fact, it sounds like it might not even
be professionally produced. If it is done by amateur musicians, it is
very good, but it just doesn't quite sound professional. Its not
perfectly in time, vocals are very bright and harsh. There is heavy
compression, but that's probably from WBCQ's audio processor.
I uploaded this for those that are interested in hearing a good
quality version of this song. I'm not too interested in YHWH's
message.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 780, March 14 at 2035 UT, KSPI Stillwater is OFF the air.
There are high winds and wildfires all over OK but I have not seen one
close to Stillwater. OKC TV stations are in wall-to-wall coverage all
afternoon (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. 26110 NBFM, March 14 at 1520 UT, chat about the
MVP in the Central Valley, i.e. KMK282, aux of KOVR ``13``
Stockton/Sacramento CA, S6/S9 direct. Only approaches full quieting
above S9 on my meter. 1522 to dead air and turned off. I bandscan
25.9-26.5 MHz without finding any others. On 10m beacon band not even
K6FRC on 28300, just XE1JAL/B on 28276 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2286 monitoring: confirmed Friday
March 14 at 1300 the first SWBC airing, on WRMI 15770, S9 direct.
Also confirmed Friday March 14 after 2030 on WRMI webcast only, but
tune-in at 2048 via Georgia SDR, WRMI 9955 is on the air contrary to
sked, but with gospel rock instead of WOR unlike last weeks when one
hour later.
Also confirmed Friday March 14 at 2140 the 2130 on IRRS SW via AM
Italia, 1322.997-, VG S9+5 into UTwente across Europe. Next:

** BRAZIL. WOR indian ocean group reply to my 4885 obs: ``Glenn, I
checked the Brasília Kiwi SDR around 0445 UT March 12 and no sign of
RCdPará on 4885. The reactivation just for soccer matches idea sounds
plausible. At the same time via Brasília I’m hearing Rádio
Inconfidência on both 6010 and 15190, as well as RVM on 9665 and
11750, but 5940 still missing. Extremely distorted Rádio Brasil
Central on 11815 but nothing on // 4985. Stephen Luce, Houston,
Texas`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2286)
** CUBA. RHC A25 schedule from March 9 until November, is much
curtailed, other original blox blank, showing only:
Spanish
Americas 11-14 & 23-05 6000
Buenos Aires 12-15 & 23-05 15230
Mesa Redonda 22-23 6000 [TV audio, M-F only]
English to NAm 00-06 6000 [contradixion: also as Spanish above]
Portuguese SAm 22-23 15230 --- and that is all!
(RHC via Chris Campbell, OH)
Takes account of change to UT-4, as a Running Dog of Yankee
Imperialism, from March 9, same DST date as in Little Havana FL (Glenn
Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 2286)
** MEXICO [and non]. 1549.82, March 13 at 0507 UT, into Querétaro SDR,
songs in English from some UStation, but also het on low side JBA ---
and JBV on the waterfall when enlarged. Much too weak to pull any mod
from it even by LSB tuning. By 0557 it`s a bit louder and sharper. At
0611 direct, same het/signal JBA on 1549.82.
Now I`m also intrigued by the 1550.0 UStation, as most of them except
very far ones, run under 100 watts at night, even in the single
digits, allegedly. 1550 ran thru 0600, no ID at 0602 but another
song.
Daytime at 1645 UT March 13 into Qro SDR there is a weak line on 1550
as about -16 Hz, but inaudible.
BTW, IRCA Mexican Log 2024 showed two more on 1550, both CPs and
presumably not yet on air, XECCAW in Jalisco, XECSGC in QRoo (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. (6185), see previous report, continued monitoring of R
Educación stream supposedly for 6185, really IDing as 107.9 FM, their
outlet in Mérida, Yucatán, at 0139 March 13, otherwise nothing but
jazz music after 0000, until 0200 long newscast until 0230, on sked as
`Pulso de la Noche` on some of their outlets but not on 6185 sked,
followed by another 107.9 ID and back to music. Replies to my earlier
report:
``Glenn, at a check around 0515 UT March 13 no sign of XEPPM Radio
Educación on 6185 here in Houston. I recall two previous outages
lasted a couple of weeks. At least Canada’s last SW broadcaster CFRX
still audible on 6070 at the same hour. Stephen Luce, Houston,
Texas``
``Hi Glenn, When clicking the on-line audio streaming for 6185 kHz.
Onda Corta, it played audio of a different station -
https://radioeducacion.edu.mx/emisorasre
6185 still off the air March 13, at 0635 UT, via Kiwi SDR remote at
Palomar Mt. (#2), Calif. Ron Howard, Monterey, Calif.`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2286)
** U A E. 15420.1+ approx., March 13 at 1445, JBA carrier
off-frequency, as expected it`s this site, sked 1400-1500 M-F only in
BBC Somali. At other hours, BBC on 15420 via Ascension or Madagascar
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 8992 USB, March 13 at 0038, USAF crypto exercise message,
this time with an echo one-word-delayed, so two sites with a satellite
or internet connexion? S9+20 here and other //s not checked as I copy
the entire message fonetikaly as he say again:
HJEYPOGD7UJE2N7LG6A7PI2LU647GF - then ``this is Newband? Newman?
Out``. All it takes is one little fade to miss the tactical callsign
which is not spelt nor repeated immediately. However, retune at 0051,
a totally different crypto msg but not copied, no echo? sounds like
same ID, out (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 2598 USB & 2749 USB, March 12 at 0645 UT, NO signals from
Canadian CG marine weather stations in NL and NS. DST did begin in
most of Canada on March 9 same as the other 48 states, ha ha, and we
had been hearing these after 0737 so it seems VCO, VCP et al., are
sticking to UT scheduling. Rather than a real hour earlier (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 650 kHz, March 12 at 0702 UT, very occasional JBA
whooping under WSM. There are a Progreso and a Rebelde on 650 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 1549.82 kHz, March 12 at 0649, still JBA carrier hetting
1550 stations believed to come from XEREL, Morelia, Mich. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 6185-, March 12 at 0631, XEPPM is OFF! Still off at 0917.
México`s last SW station, R. Educación, hope not gone for good. Had
been reliable late at night, and hardly anything else above 6115;
6160- WBCQ has been drastically curtailed with the departure of TOMBS.
WRTH 2025 shows no callsign for 6185, but Señal Cultura México, 1.4 kW
at 22-12 UT. EiBi agrees on the hours, but Aoki shows 21-10. There are
no longer any DST shifts in most of Mexico. At 2232 I try the KiwiSDRs
in MexCy XE1AF, and Qro: nothing on 6185.
At the bottom of this page there is a 6185 program schedule dated
March 2025, a lot of blanx, but only between 17 and 24 local time =
23-06 UT. After 06 SW must have been relaying one of their other
stations:
https://radioeducacion.edu.mx/carta-programatica-del-mes
There are also play linx further down page including one for 6185,
which does play music at 2305, but suspect is not a live feed.
https://s2.mexside.net/cp/widgets/player/single/?p=8178
So anything to hear after 2300 UT March 12? At 2301, 2307, 2325, still
nothing on 6185 to either XE remote. At 2344, nothing to Qro tho a
thin line on 6180 from Brasil is showing. At 2342 I sent them this
message on contacto form:
``Anoche después de la medianoche del miércoles, en mi propio receptor
de OC en Oklahoma, ni esta tarde después de las 17 HCM, nada en 6185
por remotos en CDMX y Qro. Es una emisora predilecta para mí. Espero
que su última emisora de OC de México pueda volver al aire tan pronto
como posible. Favor de explicarme qué pasa? Saludos.`` (Guillermo
Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 95.5, March 12 at 1946 UT into caradio, non-ID
as K95, then Tulsa ad. So this is KWEN, 100/100 kW in Tulsa, but per
WTFDA FM DB, it`s `K-95 FM` but the hyphen was *not* pronounced.
Adding to the confusion are two other 95.5 around here only, with
almost same branding! KITX, 50/50 kW in far Hugo, SE Oklahoma, `K95.5
FM` both country; and KAHE, 100/100 kW, Dodge City KS, `Super Hits
K95` no hyphen, i.e. Classic Hits format. At least there are no
further ones if respelt ``Kay/95`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** PUERTO RICO. 391 MCW kHz, March 12 at 0644 UT, DDP San Juan/DoraDo
beacon is JBA, always a welcome sign of good propagation, the only one
outside N America I ever hear. DXinfocentre.com and RNA Signals List
continue to conflict about its power, 1000 vs 2000 watts resp. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ROMANIA. 11730, March 12 at 0625, RRI concluding French with
satellite and contact info, and IS, S9+20, SSOB way above e.g. France
11700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 12030, Wed Mar 12 at 2308, token English from SNR is finally
back on its ME frequency, S9/+10 backwards into Maryland SDR, almost
as good as NAm 9690, S9+10/20; 17715 or SAm also VG S9/+15, but 17755
for Af JBA S5/S7. 12030 axually resumed March 11, a non-English
Tuesday, as reported by JRX in Brasil. Topic at 2315 today something
about the treatment of human remains in museums (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.004, March 12 at 2255, S9+35/40 into
UTwente, VOT IS & IDs in English, not off the air today unlike
yesterday, nor was 9610 in extraneous Italian at 2235, just Mongolian
from China. 2300 TS and s/on as if it`s 1330 on 13635 and into olds;
no time to listen further today, as I am checking XEPPM et al.; until
2344 when the multi-lingual ID filler reel is playing. 2346 music.
2351 s/off as if 1330 on 13635, awry, a little earlier than usual and
IS plays for a while atop the Chinese understation until uncovered at
2355.7* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 407 MCW kHz, March 12 at 0645 UT, ND beacon HRU is JBA.
Finally confirmed not off the air, but much weaker than it used to be:
25 watts at Herington KS. RNA signals list had it last logged
2024-12-29 so maybe had been off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 420 MCW kHz, March 12 at 0645 UT, ND beacon FQ, 25 watts at
`Montz` Fairmont MN. Sometimes hear the much closer 25 W, PK at
Olathe/Herbb KS, but not now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2285 monitoring: ``Richard Lemke,
St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, From the desk of Richard’s listening
Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF (30 years of service), Antenna: random
long wires in the trees. WRMI, USA, World of Radio #2285, Missed
the first part forgot about the time change, 9395 kHz, QRN, 2355,
2357, 2358 (4-55433), 2359, March 11 UTC 2025 [Wed](Lemke, Richard
-AB)``
Confirmed Tuesday March 11 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S5/S7 into Valley
City ND SDR, more or less in direxion aimed.
Also confirmed Wednesday March 12 at 2043 the 2030 on SW Radio,
Germany, 3975.003-, S9/+10 into UTwente.
Also confirmed Wednesday March 13 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490 -76 Hz =
7489.924, S9/+15 into NH SDR; following gospel huxter at 2057,
presumably TOMBS like 9930 WTWW, cut off at 2059 for ID. Again, no
more Pirate Joe`s Extravaganzo just before us. See separate entry.
Next:
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160.

** U S A. 7489.924, Wed Mar 13 at 2057, TOMBS gospel huxter on WBCQ
instead of `Pirate Joe Extravaganzo` as still on outdated WBCQ sked,
nor was he on last week. What about the other alleged times? Not
``EST`` but UT here: M-F 20-21, Tue also 19-20, with this blurb:
``To quote an article written about Pirate Joe in Roll Magazine: "The
Pirate Joe Country Music Radio Show and Old Blues and R&B
Extravaganzo" features music from the vintage collection and airs
Tuesday through Thursday from 3-6 PM. J.P. is never afraid to provide
a more left-leaning viewpoint to counter the roar of the AM right as
well. "Look, the rules of the game are, if you're doing anything
worthwhile, you're probably not going to make money at it. It's
inversely proportional. If you're doing garbage, you are going to get
rich. And as we become more of a corp-tatorship, that trend is only
going to get worse." Might as well just enjoy the music, then. And
with Pirate Joe the music is always a blend of truly Classic American
Music that you rarely get to hear and will always appreciate and
enjoy`` -- JP and AW go way back, but one wonders if AW`s dedication
to Free Speech reaches its limit (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. WTWW: George McClintock messages me circa 2225 UT March 12
that #2 transmitter is back in service, so if nothing further happens,
should be going for WOR UT Sat 0300 on 5085. Still no return to 9475,
it seems. 5085 not yet on the air today by 2400, but should be later
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 770, March 12 at 0704 UT, WABC NYC disclaimer and singing ID
overcoming KKOB NM, normally dominant here with its 12.5 kW ND STA.
Are they restoring ballooned tower to resume U2 50/50 kW protecting
WABC? The 230-watt 770 at night relay in Santa Fe is reported out of
synch with ABQ, but I never hear an echo. It ought not to be necessary
while on ND STA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 830, March 12 at 0707 UT, dead air from WCCO, but only for a
minute or so from tune-in, whew (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1460 kHz, March 12 at 0651 UT, plug Fox Sports Radio via
iHeart app. Most likely KXNO Des Moines IA, U2 5/5 kW, NE/SW at night.
I was listening for Punjabi or something Asian, as KBRZ, Missouri City
[Houston] TX has been reported from Washington state, U1 5000/125
watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1510 kHz, March 12 at 0654 UT, two stations clashing at
equal levels, one with `C2CAM`, the other sports talk. At night, clear
channel WLAC Nashville TN should own the frequency, as most other
1510s in mid-America must be daytimers only. At 0659 one of them
mentions 94.5 FM: Bingo, that`s KCTE Independence MO, 10 kW DAYTIMER
direxional SSW right toward us. 94.5 is a mere translator K233DM of
``ESPN Kansas City``. WLAC is the C2CAM affiliate per NRC AM Log
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 810.56 kHz, March 12 at 0706 UT, JBA carrier still
hetting 810.0 WHB KC, MO. I`m going to keep logging this and reporting
it until I, or someone can help pin it down (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1680 kHz, March 12 at 0652 UT, deadair atop weakers,
presumably my closest and dominator, KRJO Monroe LA (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 3312.0, March 12 at 0633-0637 UT, weak carrier, and more
just like it approx. 3280.6, 3296.3, 3359.2, i.e. about 15.75 kHz
apart. Bingo: No doubt radiation from some analog TV set, maybe
neighbor. All sets in this house are ``off`` but some plugged in, so
in standby mode; 15.734 as explained here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/audioengineering/comments/2mszh4/whats_up_with_this_spike_at_around_157khz_on_the/?rdt=56556
These would be harmonix in the 200+ range! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4885, March 12 at 0917 UT awaken check, JBA carrier,
presumably Korea as Brasil should be much stronger if on at all (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9236.0, March 12 at 0621, again the open carrier except
for regular clix, S8/S9 direct. Unlike before when the clix were
exactly every second, now they are timed at about 21 per minute, and
audible out to 9221/9251 or +/- 15 kHz. What is this? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
