Log shows of the 8 North Americans on 1650, it has to be CINA,
Mississauga [Toronto], Ontario, U1 5000/680 watts, ``Seena Radio``.
Maybe new for me. Normally hear IA/CO/TX stations, not so much OK,
``AR`` Fort Smith.

It should be noted that another Toronto X-bander, CHHA, is very
common here thanks to its much higher power and almost-clear channel
1610. Not so the third, CHTO 1690 in Greek (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6935.0 AM, March 19 at 0138, JBA pirate music.
These say it`s Sycko Radio:

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, re Station YHWH: ``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 he did at the time. best - Rick
in Arizona Barton`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11529.9, it seems we won`t be hearing ex-`Hikari FM`
on SW. FYI:

``[WOR] Pirate on 11529.9 kHz. (formerly Hikari FM) to leave SW, in favor of MW (1710 kHz.) -- Hi Glenn - Here is my latest (March 14) correspondence from Ivan, the operator of 1710 kHz. I will miss chasing his SW signal to hear his unique musical selections. Ron Howard (Monterey, Calif.)

"Yeah I do not think I should do 11530 anymore and should focus on 1710 kHz. It seems like it is possible to reach your area at night if I dedicate the resources to it. On top of that I am getting attention locally on 1710 kHz. It can be heard 24 kilometers away during the day and that is just with 25 watts. However, as soon as I get a decent signal out, I will move away from 1710 so that I do not have to deal with XEPE which is strong in your area. I will let you know once I do that.

The shortwave transmitter just kind of sucks as compared to the MW
transmitter, it is more powerful but the modulator is sensitive and just kind of junk. But class G can be just as efficient as class D, it is just bulkier. I think going forward the plan will be to disassemble the shortwave antenna and use the wire from it to make the inverted L longer and shrink the loading coil. Then I can build a 100 watt class G MW transmitter and will be getting a decently strong signal into your area at night. You can listen in your car, lol, you cannot do that on shortwave . My hope with 11530 was to reach Asia, but I do not think I can do that with what I have at the moment, I need a directional antenna which is not feasible to put up here.

So you can forget about 11530 at this point in time. I am not going to be on it for a while and by the time I will get the idea to try again it will be with a different transmitter and probably in a different location. Last time I tried MW, I failed (I was dumb and didn't use single core wire for the antenna) but this time I am getting out at night so I think It will be better to do it instead. Kind of like killing two birds with one stone here, I get nighttime coverage and local coverage which average people can listen to. Maybe getting into British Columbia is not an option but I think I will reach more people this way. Very Best Regards."`` (via Ron Howard, WOR iog)

``1710 is a non-starter in BC (coastal) as the channel is totally dominated by Travis AFB. He needs to consider another channel. Perhaps just outside of the MW band --- 1720? 73, Walt Salmaniw`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, 12030, 17715, Wed Mar 19 at 2300, token English from

UNIDENTIFIED. 1030 kHz, March 19 in the 06/07 UT hour, nothing but
continuous praise music in Spanish. Sounds like from a single
performing group, song after song. Suspect KCWJ MO, Radio Vida.
Radio-locator leads to the network website
https://radiovida.com/about/
which does not include any station on 1030! HQ is in Weslaco TX, so
flagship is KRGE 1290. Also detailed program sched by day and time,
https://radiovida.com/programacion/
no zone specified, but should we assume it be CDT = UT-5? Most outlets
are in CT, but not all, and there are also in Argentina, Honduras,
México. With some blanx and no consistency during the 1-2+ am hour,
which might correlate with all the `fill` music I am hearing. Late at
night I`m normally offline, but will have to try to match webstream.
At 1700 UT, stream runs long string of IDs in English starting with
KRGE but not the whole list as on website; did not catch KCWJ
included. Are all stations taking the simultaneous network feed,
possibly inserting local IDs?

How about KCTA 1030 Corpus Christi, 50 kW daytimer + limited hours
depending on WBZ SR/SS but should never be on in the nightmiddle.
Weekday program sked shows starting at 4 am CT = 09 UT, and final
program starting at 8:32 pm = 0132 UT, so until 0200?? Entire program
sked does not show a single title in Spanish, altho NRC AM Log
classifies it as EE/SS:REL. That ``SS`` is the only reason I
considered it a possibility, besides running overtime (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9610.006-, Sunday March 16 at 2149, VOT English is not off
the air, S9+20/30 into UTwente but with considerably more than usual
CNR Mongolian CCI, ending feature on Turkish foreign policy,
multi-lingual ID filler reel; 2152 music. 2156 ``with-you-every-hour``
promo, music. I`m listening now for `Letterbox` in case the 2300+
repeat be missing. Or rather I`m recording to listen a bit later, so
the times are approx. I never hear the `L`box` theme, but at 2200, YL
hostess gives her name but can`t understand it, talks about ``spring
has sprung``, something about Turkish folklore, natural enemas(?), but
it`s not the Folklore segment per se, as 2203 starts answering
correspondence, from 1) Mr. Max[?] in the UK, who is glad TRT is
keeping SW. 2) -- Danielson, Sweden, 67-year-old, wants QSL for 13635
& 6050. I think she says ``we also issue eQSLs`` which would be a new
policy, but will send hardcopy since he sent r.p. 2206 song break from
1974y. 3) 35-year-old from Canada; hostess is 43. 4) at 2212 André,
Romania. 5) at 2213 Siddartha --- wants to know if International
Women`s Day is celebrated in Turkey, and what is the gender ratio?
43.6 megamales, 43.8 megafemales, or 49.4 and 50% [sic] respectively.
2216 ``shoutout`` to Ricky Hein, South Dakota, who I think she said
was getting 11111 reception on 5960, 6125; maybe will improve at
Marchend with different frequencies. 2217 closing song. 2218 `L`Box`
theme outro, tune-out.

5959.992-, Sunday March 16 at 2303, VOT not off the air now either,
S9+40 into UTwente. Usually offset slightly plus (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 4930, March 17 at 0444, JBA carrier, no doubt VOA
BOTSWANA relay still on air, but others report no new programming, and
site expected to be closed down later this date.

9775, March 17 at 0455, S7/S9 of music with long pause between tunes,
presumably fill music, off by 0459: VOA English BOTSWANA scheduled
0300-0500, still running while HQ in Washington is locked up.

Various other relay sites are affected, MW and SW, disappearing from
air, replacing with other programming, etc., everyone trying to keep
up with this fast-breaking situation, reporting to the WOR iog. Of
course this also threatens innocent bystations using USAGM facilities
such as Radio Thailand, Pilipinas.

Greenville guys were told to shut the power off to the building. That
means no A/C and no heat. In NC the equipment will be ruined in a
month. It`s over for shortwave (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also CUBA
[and non]

** U S A. 5950, Mon Mar 17 at 0618, WRMI still on with TOMBS, running
a few words behind 5850. 5950 had been normally off at this hour. Xmtr
grid shows until 0400 only, but System E shows weekends only also
0600-1500. Does Monday morning count as ``weekend``? And is there
really a break 0400-0600? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 570, March 17 at 0631 UT, Sioux Falls ad, and plug for
Alaska cruise with WNAXtrips.com, which converts to
https://wnax.com/events/categories/trips/
Quite a sideline for a radio station, travel broker too, like WRMI.
Where`s KLIF, or XEBJB? WNAX Yankton SD barely reaches here on daytime
groundwave when KLIF is a problem (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 730, March 17 at 0634 UT, `The Other Side of Midnight`,
rather than XEX or anything else. I`m running across this show more
and more, but not among the `Shows and their Network Codes` on page
263 of the 2024 NRC AM Log; should be added. Originates at WABC, which
provides huge podcast archive,

https://wabcradio.com/podcast/the-other-side-of-midnight-with-frank-morano/
but I can`t find a mere affiliate list; is there one, anywhere? I
would guess KQPN West Memphis AR, which is talk format per NRC AM Log,
but website is about sports only. Also heard here is KKDA Grand
Prairie TX in The Metroplex, but it`s Korean. TOSOM not to be confused
with a book, movie of same name (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1330, UT Mon Mar 17 at 0438 UT, hymn in English with
chimes is dominating. Unseems my regular nearbie, KNSS Wichita, which
is news/talk with far right extremists such as Hannity scheduled this
hour. Too many other choices of REL/GOS formats with low power, bad
direxionality (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4790, March 17 at 0443, JBA carrier vs CODAR, intriguing
since no broadcasters listed except an hour of ChiCom jamming at 1230
per EiBi; could be ute, but nothing on this exact frequency per
Klingenfuß 2022. Not a third harmonic as 4+7+9 = 20, not a multiple of
3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4950, March 17 at 0445, JBA carrier, much weaker than
4940- Venezuela. Nothing listed in EiBi, Aoki, or Klingenfuß; but
could be 3 x 1650 or 5 x 990 or 9 x 550 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6882, March 17 at 0449, open carrier, pirate? None
reported currently in HFU; years ago, MRI appeared here. Ute? Nothing
on this exact frequency in Klingenfuß 2022 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7505, March 17 at 0451, JBA carrier; nothing but WRNO
listed except 25 minutes of ChiCom jamming at 2335. WRNO sometimes
runs much later than this; maybe Metairie merely excited? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
