** ALGERIA [non]. 6105, March 6 at 0523, Qur`an S9-S7 with flutter,
RTA relay via FRANCE this hour; aside 6100 Cuba, not quite strong
enough to be a problem (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ALGERIA [non]. 7315, March 6 at 1920 & 1935 chex, Qur`an from RTA
via FRANCE, poor with ACI at UTwente. Supposedly // 7375 where nothing
but ROMANIA`s two-hour transmission can be heard. Checking in case RTA
carry English segment from the International network as it was doing
last summer during DST season a UT hour earlier on the then frequency
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, March 6 at 0522, RHC S9+20 in Spanish instead of
English after 0500, starting deportivo segment during `24 horas en el
mundo` newscast, and // 6060; while English is on 6000. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ECUADOR. 6050, UT Sat March 6 at 0526 tune-in, surprised to hear ID
in English for R. Slovakia International. O, it`s just an illustration
within the HCJB German DX program during extended weekend
transmission; followed by brief talk in German, a song, and off at
0530* sharp without further announcement. S7-S9 for only 1 kW.

[non]. European POV background from March BDXC-UK Communication:
``HCJB Deutschland’s German DX programme, ‘Medienmagazin’, is
scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays at 0530, 1030, 1505, 1800 and 2205
UT. Frequencies include 3995 kHz from Weenermoor in north west Germany
near the Dutch border. But the programme is actually produced in
Scotland by Horst Wiese who has lived near Edinburgh for many years.
The HCJB “DX-Programm” has been recorded for the past couple of years
at the studios of Revival FM in Cumbernauld. Past editions are online
at:
https://hcjb-medienmagazin.blogspot.com/
(HCJB Infobrief 4/2020)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 11625-11630-11635 DRM, March 6 at 1737, RFI French via TDF
Issoudun confirmed, lo-fi only 8.08 kbps but solid no dropouts at
S9/+10, via Kuwait Kiwi SDR, picked since target is S Asia. Labeled
``AAC(1000) TDF EXP Data 8.08 kbps`` and ``Medium range use, multipath
resistant``. I`ve been intending to check the scheduled 2330-2400 on
9880-9885-9890, ex-5870-5875-5880, where I was hearing it in
February.

9880-9885-9890-DRM, so I do, March 6 at 2330: Rochester NY Kiwi SDR,
no DRM detected; UTwente can hear DRM noise in AM mode but too weak;
Bonaire decodes intermittently at SNR +/- 14 kHz, S9-S8; displays same
parameters as 11630 above (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SWEDEN [and non]. 6200, March 7 at 0002, JBA carrier to Bonaire
SDR, surely not ROCV Venezuela; Radio Nord Revival, Sala, Sweden is
supposed to start a 47/48 hour special anniversary show now with 10 kW
on A3H = reduced carrier USB. 0010 I try UTwente which is slightly
better, trace of music? but can`t find it USB only. Probably Tibet
which is on 6200 about 21 hours a day. Nord alternative frequencies
publicized are inadvisable now either: 6035 next to huge Spanish 6040;
6130 also probably weak Tibet. Why were they given Tibet-clashing
channels? To be in Swedish except a couple spans partly in English as
I point out on WORLD OF RADIO 2076: Sunday at 05-07 and 11-12; Monday
at 20-21 UT. See:

** U S A. 417-MCW kHz, March 6 at 0746, as I am almost asleep, I keep
copying NDB ID as ../.-.- which is I/Ya the Cyrillic letter. But it
must really be the usual occupant of 417, IY, ../-.-- Charles City,
Iowa which I have not noted miskeying before. I was uncertain whether
the final tone was long or short, i.e. -.-. which would have been C,
but there is no IC around here either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2076 monitoring: zzz thru the 1300
UT Saturday March 6 airing on WRMI 15770; did anyone hear it?

Confirmed starting at 2043 Sat Mar 6 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM MO, via nearby
KB0FX remote. With some glitches not on my original recording, not
clear whether from playback or remote. There were nonesuch on
preceding ham show.

Also confirmed Sat Mar 6 at 2230 on WRMI 9955, poor on PL-880 with
reelout clipon.

Also confirmed Sat Mar 6 at 2300 on WRMI 7780, immediately after
Tirana music, no ID; poor S9-S5 direct but at 2325 check via Maine
SDR, S9/+10; Rochester S9-S8 but both with glitches/skips/clix every
few seconds. This seems to be a defect on Kiwis when run in the
SAM/SAL/SAU/SAS modes. Next:

** U S A. 9955, March 6 at 1549, WRMI-3 is very much back with bigsig
BS after missing most of yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5950, March 7 at 0200, WRMI with Texas Radio Shortwave,
first biminute of `YROT` theme, openings by synthetic voices, Third
Mate Susan, and Cap`n Ric with eQSL offers for this show of lady
performers only. I hear it direct on the portable ATS-909 anext the
computer, but prefer to listen via the Kansas City Kiwi where it`s VG
S9+10. Never are the ladies nor their songs identified, just one after
another with occasional ID/QSL breaks by Susan, such as at 0215, 0231
Cap`n Ric on the poop-deck, 0234, and 0257 outro, YROT theme. Instead
the ladylist if not the playlist has been posted, and forwarded by
another Texan, Terry Colgan:

``ARTIST LINEUP FOR LADIES OF TEXAS MUSIC TRIBUTE ON WRMI TONIGHT
Cap'n Ric is pleased to announce the artists featured in the upcoming
Ladies of Texas Music Tribute:
Jeanie C. Riley
Jamie Lin Wilson
Sunny Sweeney
Lisa Loeb
Norah Jones
Lydia Mendoza
Marcia Ball
Lucinda Williams
St. Vincent
Barbara Lynn
"Sippie” Wallace
“Big Mama” Thornton
Bessie Tucker
Janis Joplin
Lacey Sturm.

Cap'n wagers you haven't heard of many of these female artists, and
also wagers that you'll enjoy their music.

The tribute program will air several times:
March 7 - 0200 UTC 5950 kHz via WRMI
March 20 - 0900 UTC 6070 kHz and 1800 UTC 3955 kHz via Channel 292 in
Germany
March 28 - 0200 UTC 6160 kHz via WBCQ.

Third Mate Susan designed a special limited edition eQSL to be sent to
listeners who submit correct reception reports to
texasradiosw@gmail.com.
(From TRSW's Facebook page)``

One song in Spanish caught my ear at 0219 with a possible title,
``Canta, Guitarra Mia``. Probably Lydia Mendoza, one third into the
list (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Mar 7 at 0125, `Theater Organ Under The Arch`
is underway on WTWW-2, but only a quick check as I listen to only one
music show at a time, `Encore` classical on WRMI 5850 this hour,
having missed the first airing at 23-24 on 7570 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. Am glad to see that ondemand access to the superb CBS Sunday
Morning has been restored to proper funxion: On March 6 I check the
current/most recent one of Feb 28:
https://www.cbsnews.com/sunday-morning/
A single full file plays straight thru with all commercials removed,
totaling just over 62 minutes. One may also play individual segments
linked just below if desired. I haven`t tried to retrieve older
episodes, whether the same options apply (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1540.21, March 6 circa 0730 UT, trace of a carrier here
but not outstanding like last two nights; confusing to the ear as
there are more carriers off 1540.000 including one circa 1540.02 and
the usual 1539.96 = KGBC. See my previous report about KGBC and KEDA
as well as the mystery, which has been discussed further in the ABDX
group: Heterodyne on 1540

``I don't think the original reporter mentioned if the het was on the
low or high side. Do you hear the gospel station on 1540.21 kHz? It is
sometimes audible here:
http://kiwisdr.ku4by.com:8073/?f=1540.21usbz10
Thank you and best regards, Mauno`` Ritola, Finland

Where is that? Is labeled: ``© bluebison.net KU4BY's SolarSDR
Elizabeth City, NC | Grid: FM16vf, ASL: 30m, [map]
Antenna: Wilson 1K about 15' AGL. Powered by the Carolina Sun!``

I try it near local noon at 1631 March 6: displays 1540 carrier + 50v
Hz but nothing audible. There are far too many GOS stations on 1540
circa NC (gh)

``Mar 6 at 6:39 AM --- The station furthest off frequency is on
1539.904 (NNE/SSW) with others appearing on 1539.9732 (N/S), 1539.9755
(WSW – signed off @ 2345 ET), 1539.9835 (NW - CHIN) and 1540.022 (W).
Strongest station is on 1539.998 to the WNW (KXEL).

1539.998 tops the channel when KXEL is nulled. That one is Bahamas.
The het is definitely the 1539.905 but taking Glenn’s note into
account it is probably some station in the Eastern South who didn’t
throw the switch. Rick S., Rodanthe NC OBX FM25go``

IRCA March 5: ``Walter Salmaniw 4:44am #18219 --- Again I can hear the
het quite well in Victoria and see a relatively strong carrier on
1540.203 tonight, as well as others quite a ways off channel on
1540.023 and 1539.908. As on 1350, there are a LOT of carriers spaced
closer to the nominal. The 1540.2 channel is near audio into Victoria.
73, Walt``

That`s really far. In western USA the only 1540s are the big one in LA
CA, 50 kW KMPC in Korean, also ethnic KXPA 5 kW Bellvue WA near Walt,
and KASA Phoenix AZ, 19 watts of ranchera at night.

March 6 at 2329 on ABDX, Rich:
``I have it on 1540.205 but can’t make it out. Seems to be WSW. But
here’s what’s weird. I have similar signals that pulsate up and down
along with the .205 on 1540.113 and 1540.021 – in each case 92 Hz
down. Rick S., Rodanthe NC OBX FM25go``

Rick`s WSW bearing from OBX correlates with my ESE from Enid for best
bets: WTBI near Greenville SC and WKVQ Eatonton, central Georgia. Both
10 kW daytimers. FCC official March LSS for both 2345 UT. Has there
been any change now? Anyone near-local to those locations to check?
Perhaps Bob in Bamberg SC original reporter can tell if it`s NW from
Greenville or West from Eatonton. 73, (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, March 5 at 1523, no signal from WRMI-5, which is
supposed to remain on with TOMBS until 1700. Must be a problem as 9455
and stronger 9395 are well audible.

9955, March 5 at 2258, WRMI still absent, but plenty hard jamming
against nothing; more but less on 9965 from which R. República is many
years gone out of Costa Rica. 9455, 9395 and lesser WRMI transmitters
remain nominal.

9955, March 6 at 0245, now an S4 VP carrier but no modulation audible;
9455 & 9395 are JBA carriers; no signals at all from Habana 9650 &
9535. At 0300 K-index is 4 with G1 storms expected. Often there is not
much correlation in propagation from Okee and Habana (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490.2 webcast), UT Sat March 6 from 0100, WBCQ with
`AAAWWW`, cuts theme short, as always fiddling with mics at first;
this time his doesn`t work so she shares hers. They are back in Maine
where it`s 9 degrees, a good drive until the last few miles into a
zero-visibility blizzard. Quite an adjustment as it had been 80+ in
Florida. A visit for maintenance and checking things, so apparently
going back south soon.

Last/this week there was a wind storm; when it`s 20, 30 or 40 mph [?
not much for an OKie], the Ampegon rotatable antenna has to be parked
and closed down. Tho it`s anything but solid, all its metal wires,
parts add up to a wind load. I wonder if parking position depend on
which way the wind be blowing. If it happen to be minimal at the
current azimuth, could it remain on?

0116 open for e-mail. 0118 ranting starts about moonbats never
stopping masking to control us; calling President Biden a cadaver.
Time for me to zone out. 0123 a 100-amp control breaker burned up as
soon as they arrived. Reading an article about the radio biz. 0200 to
``Sail Away``, and then Hal Turner; is that his theme? Then checking
MO remote. H.T. is now on both 6160- and 7490+, but on Area 51 webcast
it`s $ music and 0206 Zombo. John Carver`s version of:

``Tonight's AAWWW --- started on time on 7490 and two minutes later on
6160. Allan and Angela in the studio. Allan and Angela are in studio 1
in Maine this week. The pre-amp for Allan's mic has been damaged by
lightning so they're using one mic. Allan talks about the storms in
Maine this week, both snow and wind. Said the wind kept the rotatable
antenna on the superstation from turning properly so they shut the
transmitter down till the wind stopped. Allan says they're just in
Maine for a visit and was complaining about the extra clothes and the
colder temps in Maine this week. Said it was 22 today .

Quickly turned political and they talked of Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head
again, the Land of Lakes Indian, the Coca Cola polar bear etc. Masks,
the election, voting, the virus, China, our beloved Trump, the fact
that he won the election, any praise for the response to the virus or
the appearance of the virus is because of Trump etc. Angela ended it
by saying that was her Angela's Angle for this week.

Allan mentioned another problem with something that burned up on one
of the transmitters but I didn't catch what it was. He also said it
was time to talk about radio and Angela started in with another
political rant. Allan finally started reading an article about the
current status of radio and the effect of the pandemic on ad revenue.
Signal on 7490 went to hell about 0130. Reading of emails at 0154.
Closing prayer at 0157 and the program was off the air at 0200. John,

First broadcasts confirmed UT Friday March 5 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850 VG
direct; 7780 VG S9+15 like a local to Maine SDR, but no signal to
UTwente where it`s aimed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7570 & > 7730, March 5 at 0315, both S9+30 of dead air as
Brother Scare`s feed to WRMI has failed. Also dead on weaker 7780; and
5850 S9+20/30. Other programming remains modulating on 5950, 5800, JBA
4980, 9395, 9455, but 9955 is occupied only by pulse jamming (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5890, March 4 at 0647, S9/+10 of dead air from WWCR-4
instead of Brother HyStairical. Or is there a trace of JB modulation?
This has happened before especially on UT Thursdays -- mixup in
automation scheduling? TOMBS is still nominal on squealy 3215 WWCR-1,
and on 5850 WRMI. However, by 0800, Ivo Ivanov reported no signal at
all on 5890, back by 0930. Later in the day more problems were
reported with WRMI transmitters, must be having issues (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5890, March 5 at 0305, WWCR-4 with big buzz on the Fulcher
hour audio, peaking plus/minus 4-5 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1540, March 4 at 0402 UT, Bob Smoak asked on the ABDX group,
``I'm getting a low pitched heterodyne on 1540 in Bamberg, SC. Any
ideas where it might be coming from?`` My first response was KGBC
Galveston TX on 1539.96 as I`ve heard repeatedly. His receiver could
not tell whether it was plus or minus.

When I tuned in myself at 0707-0715 UT, I found a carrier on 1540.210,
and so had Mauno Ritola via a remote. Could not hear any modulation on
it and hard to DF, but not KGBC which was weaker on the minus side. At
0726, KGBC had gospel-huxtering in Spanish and there`s a third station
with Mexican music, presumed KEDA San Antonio.

I`m on it again the next night from 0322 UT March 5: 1540.21 carrier
is there again and now I can DF it to WNW/ESE. Possibilities are
daytimers or peanut-powers at night, starting with 10 kW WTBI near Bob
in Pickens SC; KDYN Ozark AR; WKVQ Eatonton GA; WKXG Greenwood MS. No
others really fit the DF axis somewhat south of due east, and nothing
at all somewhat north of due west.

When it`s nulled, Mexmx is dominant, presumed KEDA with live DJ and
frequent CST timechex, but I can`t catch any IDs or local references.
Also at times looping further CCW, KGBC gospanish, at 0330 plugging a
phone in the 254 area code which is around Waco, not Houston. KXEL
Waterloo IA 50 kW not really a factor until a bit of English talk at
0346; northerly propagation diminished. May be cause of SAH about 5 Hz
vs KEDA?

Finally at 0401 amid the Spanish, a canned English ID for ``99.9 FM
serving San Antonio, Texas``. So Wayne won`t have to remind me, that`s
K260CC, as on page 299 of the NRC AM Log, part of the Group: Radio
Jalapeño. Only a minute later at 0402, live DJ pronounces KEDA in
Spanish as well as Radio Jalapeño, and plugs a 55th-annivesary event
for the station on March 13-14, with an address, and social-distancing
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

CUBA. 6180, March 3 at 0104, algo JBA but not CRI relay; its S9/+10
carrier comes on late at *0105 but open for a while; by 0113 recheck
modulating in English. Understation maybe Brasil, but unseemed //
11780 with SBG excitement. In fact CRI has a 6180 simulcast English
via Kashgar, East Turkistan, land of brainwashing Uighurs to become
good little Mandarins. Something's always wrong at RadioCuba.
