** BOTSWANA. 6175, Mon Mar 15 at 0346, S9 open carrier, or JBM? I
guess it`s VOA scheduled to start Shona to Zimbabwe at 0400 M-F (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, 1900 UT March 14, the first day of DST, RHC English
confirmed shifted one UT hour earlier, on caradio, starting `The Week
in Cuba`. Mod on this one lately rather lo-fi, hummy. Spotchex later
in hour did not catch any reactivated DX program tho if brief could
have missed it.

11880, next English hour has been at 22-23 UT during standard time but
nothing there at 2209 check, nor on previously used 9720, 7380.
Habitually this broadcast alone shifts one UT hour *later* during DST
which does not make sense, so need to search for it between 23 and 24
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. Re my log of XEFRTM Zacatecas on 770, Saul Chernos, Ont.,
replies:

``Hi Glenn (and Bruce): I've been hearing a very regular W Radio on
770 here at Burnt River ON that is stream matching to XEFRTM
Fresnillo. Two MP3 clips are attached. Mostly pop music of last few
decades. It comes in often when I aim directionally WSW, which limits
WABC somewhat. It also mixes with XEACH which is carrying Formula
(also // webstream). I have noted lots of the 690 in Fresnillo lately,
again also //webstream with 107.9 in the ID. It's now back listed at
www.mwlist.org 73s Saul Chernos``

Wow, two clips with algo way under WABC; matching stream must be only
way to ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 341-MCW kHz, March 15 at 0356 UT, Enid`s only
ND beacon, EI, is gone again, leaving a trace of OIN or DNI? No
particular weather excuse this time; but LW reception is really poor,
hardly any DX beacons, e.g. Canada, only 332 QT Thunder Bay. Other OK,
350 RG at WRWA OKC is still there. WWV reported at 0300, K-index of 3
after minor G1 geomagnetic storms. EI still AWOL at daytime 1418 UT
check March 15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 418-MCW kHz, March 15 at 0545 UT, ND beacon FQ, 25 watts
from Fairmont, Minnesota. I was tuned to 418-USB.

326-MCW kHz, March 15 at 0609 UT, ND beacon MA, 400 watts from
Midland, Texas. Under degraded conditions, two of the few audible now
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2077 monitoring. On first day of
DST, expected change confirmed on Area 51 via WBCQ, 6159.93v, at 2200
instead of 2300, but JBA here, theme recognized at S5-S6 same as noise
level; better than expected to MO SDR of KB0FX, S8-S9 with carrier
offset varying minus 67 to 70 Hz. As I later informed Larry Will:

Sunday night at 0345 UT Monday there was nothing on 7490. Maybe WHRI
still after 0430 UT, not checked, but that means WBCQ can put the show
now at 03-04 back on 7490 and we can get back 03-04 for Area 51 on
6160. Reception of 6160 at 22 UT Sunday wasn`t too bad, but is bound
to decline into the summer.

Also, HFCC A21 is now out, showing no WHRI at all on 7490, with 7490
OK for BCQ anytime between 19 and 10 UT.

7490 1200 1500 36-38,46-48,57 WCR 100 85 0 902 1234567 280321 310521 D

Also complete listings for 6160, nothing but BCQ and that German
station both 24h, not a problem over here:

USA BCQ FCC 263

WOR 2077 also confirmed Sunday March 14 at unchanged 2300 on WRMI
7780, S7-S9; tuned in just before 2300 heard ``This is PCJ Radio
International``, which I thought was kaput; System H sked shows at
2230 Sunday should be `Wavescan`; maybe it was just a WRMI ID by Keith
Perron?

Also confirmed UT Mon Mar 15 at unchanged 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG
direct.

Also confirmed UT Mon Mar 15 at unchanged 0230 on WRMI 5800, good
direct and via remote on 7780; also confirmed WRN timing unchanged,
despite N American service which does make a DST shift, but not until
DST in Europe March 29.

A-21 HFCC shows IRRS ``Milano`` again a UT hour earlier at 18-19 on
7290, so what will be the QRM problems? Much like A-20 and B-20.
Vietnam still on 7280 thruout to Europe, despite 10 kHz away
splashing; 7290 with CNR China Beijing until 1805; Iran Russian
supposed to end at 1750. 7285 & 7295 clear this hour; 7300 Iran German
until 1820. But first, IRRS staying at same UT this week and next:

1901 UT Monday IRRS 7290 Bulgaria to WNW, 594-Italy
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW [ex-2200]

** U S A. Re 9975, KVOH scheduling changes, Ray Robinson replies:

``Hi, Glenn. The primary target areas for KVOH, at least for our
Spanish language programming, are Cuba and Mexico, and both of those
countries do observe Daylight Saving. Plus, our FCC authorization for
9975 begins at 0000 UT winter and summer, to protect WWCR transmitter
#4 which is on 9980 until that time. We have no option but to keep our
start time at the same UT 0000 (one hour later local times), while
shifting our program content one UT hour earlier. Ray.``

HFCC shows CIRAF targets for KVOH are 10, 11 and 12, i.e. Mexico;
Caribbean & Central America; and NW quarter of South America. Of
course, may really intend only fraxions of each, but the 100-degree
azimuth from LA, no accident by the original owner, goes right at
Habana, thru Cuba, Haiti, Trinidad, skirting the NE coast of South
America, pretty far off from Mexico, but I expect 9975 is really
pretty broad. Except for border towns, DST in XEland does not start
until April 4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6205, March 15 at 0233, RCOV music is S6-S7 into Bonaire
SDR but noisy; as usual a JBA carrier direct at best (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search March 15 from 0405:
531, 576, 585, 612, 621, 639, 684(2), 711, 729, 747(2), 774(2), 855,

1314(2), 1422. *strongest; (2) at least two beating (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1710 kHz, March 15 at 0411 UT, at least two JBA signals
beating, first noticed at conclusion of JBA MW carrier from Europe
search. Some music and talk modulation detectable; 0536 recheck, now
JBA alternating M&W talk, unseems a TIS loop, S8-S9 but about same as
band noise level; at least hardly any lightning now across North
America. Others have been reporting great low-power DX on 1710; such
as Hudson County NJ, Bandelier National Monument NM, Travis AFB CA,
KHMB Half Moon Bay CA. But I need more antenna gain (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST update

Hi Glenn, my latest Hitlist update.
https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm

1) Update to UTC offset notations for Cuba and USA following DST
changes
2) Spain - REE: Added link to A-21 frequency schedule
Unless there's a major change anywhere, the next update will be end of
March for further DST changes. Best wishes and 73 (Alan Roe)

** CUBA. As a running dog of Yanqui Imperialism, Cuba normally
synchronizes DST shift dates to keep up with the Miami Gusanos, so
should now be on UT -4; and despite being an external service, RHC
shifts programming one UT hour earlier, as if that were anything but
confusing in the rest of Latin America.

So `En Contacto` should show up at 1335 UT Sundays --- but not March
14. At 1336 a discussion of COVID statistics, later outro as a live
daily news conference by the head epidemiologist, which apparently
preëmpt everything. Monitored on S9+10 13740, louder and stronger than
S7-S9 13700 with no spurs detectable, also 9650 but distorted.
Somethings` always wrong at RHC.

I check 13700 again at 1443 in case not DST-shifted, but no E.C. then
either. No local timechex caught, but 1455 newscast on 15140 and now
11760 is quite distorted via KC MO SDR; Frequency announcement at 1500
says 11760 & 15140 until 1800, also on the 24h FMs;

1501 starts Esperanto, ex-1600v winter timing, Sundays only. I bet
their own schedule announcement be wrong as usual too but unstayed on
it, as it`s daylight-shifting time for `Reliable Sources` on CNN; and
`Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival` on KUCO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 11725, March 14 at 0704, RNZP, huge S9+10/20
VG signal, introducing original cast recording from 1999y of ``Mamma
Mia``. Was going to award it OSOB status until scan of 25m detected
JBA carriers on 11835, 11815, 11770-; so merely SSOB. First had found
9700 vacant, still not QSY from 11725; but that has been moved up to
*0800.

Meanwhile, Ron Howard reports that Vanuatu is now on 3945 as early as
0533 instead of 7260, consequently its harmonix too.

6115, March 14 at 1350, RNZP still VG here with music (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. Another eQSL received from TRSW, now #116 via
http://www.worldofradio.com/QSL.html
with this reply:

``Ahoy Glenn - Here's an eQSL for your post in the WOR group.
https://www.w4uvh.net/TRSW_DanaMariaTribute_eQSL_WRMI_Hauser.pdf

Cap'n Ric's mulling over your idea of featuring a woodwind orchestra
in an upcoming program. He wonders if it could be paired with live
readings of his poetry, which would take diversity to a new level.
We've heard his poetry and hope he deep-sixes any idea of reading it.
We're not so sure about the woodwinds either. TRSW's program committee
-- Cap'n Ric -- will make a decision soon.

Our programs on WRMI, 5950 kHz, repeat each week until we upload a new
one before the beginning of the next month. Occasionally Jeff White
adds a TRSW program in a different time slot for variety. We
appreciate that because it's another opportunity for listeners to hear
us. 73 and Arrgghh. Always be yourself. Unless you can be a pirate.

** U S A [and non]. 9975, March 14 at 0702, gospel music only S1-S4,
but must be KVOH beyond scheduled 0700* as of Feb 3 sked; suspect they
are now moving everything one UT hour earlier to stay at same local
time - as if that applied in target Caribbean, South America so would
now quit circa 0600v*. I ask Ray Robinson about this, who promptly
replies:

``Hi, Glenn. KVOH will now be on 9975 kHz 0000-0600 UT Tue-Sun.
Wavescan at 0200 UT Sun, repeated at 0200 UT Tue. And, the updated
KVOH sched is now on the website. http://www.voiceofhope.com

Voice of Hope - Africa schedule is unchanged (no DST in those parts).
Wavescan at 0600 UT Sun on 9680 & 11680 kHz, repeated at 1800 UT Mon
on 4965 & 6065 kHz.

** U S A. 1090-LSB, March 14 at 0653 UT, quick recheck for WENR TN DX
test, which I had heard immediately at 0458-0509, no sign of it now,
just KAAY; supposed to run until 0700, but quit early? When not
DX-testing, WENR format is ``The Little Gospel Giant`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. RF 35, 34, 22, 20, 15, March 14 at 1455 UT, BAD signal

** CUBA. 11850, March 14 at 0057, RHC is S9+20 but very suptorted;
while Spanish on 11760 and 11670 is normally modulated if hummy.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ERITREA. 7140 & 7180, March 14 at 0313, JBA carriers a smidgin
above each frequency but matching, and the higher one a tiny bit
stronger, both vs LSB QRhaM and storm noise: so obviously the Voice of
Broad Masses intruder pair (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 4030-AM, March 14 at 0300, JBA carrier vs storm
noise - tornados in TX panhandle approaching but better fizzle --
maybe a bit of musical modulation, gone by 0343 recheck. Bet it be a

** U S A. 7570, Sat Mar 13 at 2300-2400, Radio Tumbril, Scotland with
`Encore` classical music via WRMI. VG via KB0FX KiwiSDR; also repeated
after 0100 UT Sun Mar 14 on WRMI 5850. Host Brice Avery says the next
WRMI airing, UT Mon on 5950 due to DST will be one hour earlier from
March 15, at 02-03 UT instead of 03-04 due to DST.

Yes, per the skeds at http://www.tinyurl.com/WRMIgrid
these Systems make a DST shift: B = 9955; G = 9395 between 5 and 11?
pm EST/EDT, joined by 9455 at 8-9 pm; and L = 5950 at 4-12 pm EST/EDT
except 6-7 pm on 7570 instead; but the label got it backwards. All the
other Systems are supposed to stick to UT.

Different frequencies take different System feeds depending on the
time. While this may make sense in some way, it would also be very
helpful to listeners if there were ALSO full program schedules
presented frequency by frequency -- not just the transmission skeds at
top of page (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5950, UT Sun March 14 at 0200, Texas Radio SW via WRMI, as
heard VG via KB0FX KiwiSDR in MO: starts with seabirds, a different
jazzed-up version of `YROT` theme, Third Mate Sudan introduxion of
another TX mx tribute, offers QSL, also Can`n Ric. Some words are
skipping as I listen, but does not affect the songs later, by Dana
Maria whose real voice speaks from Frankfurt, Germany but originally
from Austin. She introduces three songs at a time along with TRSW
synthIDs; such as 0223 Trip Down Memory Lane; 0234 Wheelbarrow. Such
tunes are not really appealing to me, but I wish her well.

Maybe TRSW could eventually diversify. The wind band at University of
North Texas, Denton, comes to mind, not strictly classical:
https://windstudies.music.unt.edu/recordings
They also have some stuff on YouTube that can be searched out. Its own
radio station callsign is not what you might expect.

As for TRSW on WRMI, their sked grid now shows two airings, as shifted
henceforth due to the imposition of DST on 5950 System L: UT Sunday at
01-02 and will stay an hour earlier than `Weekend Radio` on WCLV; and
Monday at 20-21 UT --- which is a bit early in the day for 6 MHz band
to go very far, 4+ hours before sunset (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (5085), UT Sun Mar 14 at 0116, WTWW-2 webcast avoiding
crummy audio on its SW, in stereo, `Theater Organ Under the Arch`
caught from the beginning and this time lasting exactly 30 minutes
until a Tedad at 0146. Bob Heil presenting more archive recordings
including his own but starting with Gene Wright. Annoying just before
it started was the WTWW ID mistreating our National Anthem as if it
were produxion music with just a few seconds of it. Presumably this
will all appear one real UT hour earlier from next week as WTWW is yet
another ``international`` SW station succumbing to intranational,
irrational DST (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. CBS SUNDAY MORNING, online access seems to change every
week. On Sat Mar 13 I`m ready to view the Sun Mar 7 edition via
https://www.cbsnews.com/sunday-morning/
but inexplicably the top link is not to March 7, but December 27! It`s
62 minutes so presumably the whole thing, just the wrong week, wrong
month, wrong year.

However, beneath it are linx to ten individual segments of March 7
which don`t quite add up to 62 minutes: missing are the opener, and
the closer, nature segment. Later I do find the latter further down
and it`s a hefty 3:23 long featuring baboons. On the broadcast it is
always much shorter, obviously used only as a filler to round out the
sesquihour as needed.

So I have to play each segment individually and put up with 3 or 4
different 15- to 30-second duplicative commercials rotating first;
when each segment finishes it always defaults to whatever is on the
current CBSN live stream, so have to keep backing up to the SM home
page. Enough of this nonsense: back to taping it myself off KWTV at
too early 8 am [now 13 UT] Sundays, and going to the web only in an
emergency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1090, March 14 at 0458 UT tune-in for WENR Englewood TN much
publicized 1000-watt ND daytimer DX test, and already hear sweeps
upward. Must use LSB to avoid KRLD 1080 IBOC noise circa 1093, but
cannot avoid the major occupant of 1090, KAAY Little Rock. I do record
it as required for QSL and will eventually get around to sending
report, but I will not subject myself to more than 9 minutes of KAAY
inevitable gospel huxter. Test will run two hours until 0700.

At 0500 solid tone, 1 kHz? Pause maybe unreadable voice ID? Never
copied one. 0502 sweeps upward. 0503:45 steady tone. 0504:10 VVV VVV
DE WENR - there may have been a bit more in the code ID, thought I
copied MER; sweeps up again. 0506 code again, is it faster, and/or
higher-pitched? 0507 phone-off-hook pulses JBA; 0508 code again
including WENR and sweeps again, tune-out by 0509 UT. On my R75 with
100` E-W longwire. Of course from this angle, no way to null KAAY on
the DX-398, almost same direxion. 1210 km = 752 statute miles.
Englewood is between Chattanooga and Knoxville. Heavy storms west of
here earlier this evening not a problem now for this.

Tnx for the test; should be widely heard. This is the same station
which was originally going to try a daytime DX test just before
sign-off, 2200-2315* UT on Sat Feb 27, but that was canceled; why?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
