** ANTARCTICA. At 1533 UT March 17 I notified the WOR iog:
``[WOR] LRA36 is on --- At 1529 UT, music on 15475.96-RCUSB or so,
LRA36 is back from Antarctica into a Brasil SDR. Regular Wednesday
broadcasts resumed. ID at 1532 for ``15476``. Also German, English,
Glenn, OK``. No replies received, but further from me:

That`s on the Pardinho SP SDR, where there is rather high local noise
level; so I try Campo one: less noise but also weaker signal. 1533
programa de hoy announces Base Esperanza geo coördinates; 1540 seems
to be recounting history of the base or the station; 1542 music; 1546
ID and more music; 1549 ID, music; 1559 something about Venezuela;
1606 ID; 1608 start a song but cuts off the air with no sign-off.
LRA36 had first been reported reactivated on Sat Feb 27, by Rudolf
Grimm, in a long-delayed post via HCDX. Previous pattern was Wed,
often repeated Sat, and sometime specials (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, March 17 at 0551, RHC English with pulsing sound
marring modulation here of the thin-voiced YL, who named herself, I
think, Lina? Valverde. It`s impossible to find staff info at RHC
website, except for management. But Lena is correct per various print
bylines searched out. // 6000 & 6100 sound better, but 5040 at 0556 is
in Spanish, not English. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 11990, Tue March 16 at 2217, S5-S7 gospel huxter in English.
Per Aoki/NDXC, it`s KSDA on days 135 = UT SunTueThu, the other days at
2200-2230 in Sundanese -- as in part of Indonesia, not Sudanese (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 255-MCW kHz, March 17 at 0145 UT, 25-watt ND beacon SW,
as in StillWater, is back! Had been off since February 8 when frigid,
icy weather hit, but long since recovered from that, highs in the 70s.
Now a new storm approaches from the west with high LW noise level and
rising, difficultizing audibility despite proximity. 341 EI Enid is
still off from a later refailure (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 91.7, March 17 at 0305 and still 0400 UT, dead air from
KOSU, but streaming is funxional during `The Spy` --- no loss for me
as KOSU throws away half its airtime at night for Okie music instead
of public radio fare it provides so well in the daytime. Such a split
personality discourages me from otherwise deserved financial support.
I don`t want half of it going to The Spy. They don`t even provide NPR
or BBC news overnight. There is no severe weather excuse for this
outage. At 0413, carrier cuts off less than a minute, back on still
dead, so maybe they are working on it. 0435 suddenly comes to life, no
explanation or apology (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. Overcome by dead air: See USA: WRMI, WWCR

** U S A. 13566+CW, March 17 at 1505, as I am daily checking for K6FRC
on 13565-CW, instead hear another HIFER beacon, first one in a long
time, copied ``WAS`` right away but nothing more readable in next 11
minutes. Fortunately, WAS is the real call in the LWCA list:
``13566.22~ WAS Smithfield, NC FM13 CW (h 2020/12)``
and yes, this WAS slightly above 13566, but no chance to measure it.
Smithfield is just SE of Raleigh, halfway to Goldsboro, 1758 km = 1093
stmi from Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2077 monitoring: WRMI has been
deadairing quite a lot lately, not just TOMBS but affecting us:

Chris Krug in Tulsa reports:
``[WOR] 5850 WRMI WOR Wed 1030 UTC AWOL --- One of the best things
about the time change is being able to listen to WOR on my early
morning walk on Wednesdays on 5850, 1030 utc [5:30 am CDT]. Except
it`s not there this morning. Carrier seems fine, there's just no
programming. Hey WRMI! Wake up! Chris KC5IIE Tulsa, OK``

And also ``From: Richard Lemke, City: St. Albert, Province: Alberta,
Country: Canada. From, the desk of Richard’s listening Post, Radio:
JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees.

Dear Glenn: Looks like I didn’t hear either program at 1000, (AWR Wave
scan) or at 1030, when World of Radio usually should be aired
[4:30 am MDT], just a strong signal but no audio was heard. March 17
UTC 2021, (Lemke, Richard -AB) 73’s, Richard March 17, 2021``. Next:

2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE

One may also contribute via MO or check in US funds on a US bank to:
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9455, March 16 at 2226, dead air from this WRMI-5, supposed
to be Overcomer from 11 to 24.

7570 & 7730, March 17 at 0237, still 0256, 0321, both S9+40 of dead
air from these WRMIs 11 & 13, which happen to be the only two
scheduled for TOMBS at 02-03, so nothing to compare as other US
stations are otherprogramming too. No WWCRs are scheduled with TOM
until 0400 at the earliest, 3215 which has horrible squealing. Ha! At
0407, dead air there too except for the squealing ruling! So the
problem is somewhere between SC, International Vacuum and
affiliates.

BTW, as of March 17, WWCR program sked is still dated March 1 showing
6-hour difference between UT and CT, so beware and consult with care.

After 0300 these WRMIs are supposed to add on: 7780, 9395 and 5850. At
0326, 5850 is dead air too; so are 7780 and 9395 into Maine SDR. If
it`s a feed failure faulty from Walterboro, we certainly hope BS is
still getting billed for transmission, a fine compromise between
income and detestable programming. 0436 recheck, born again on the
WRMIs, still dead on WWCR 3215 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1030, March 17 at 0152 UT, Mexican music, and soon SHVAs
plugging the two FM translator frequencies, 99.1 and 97.3, of WNOW
Mint Hill [Charlotte] NC, 9.4 kW daytimer direxional west. Before and
since I first discovered it March 10, many others have reported it.
Slogan ``La Zeta`` I still haven`t copied for sure in the exaggerated
SHVA intonation, but no doubt this be it. BTW, what positive
connotation has Zeta in Spanish; the end, or the ultimate? Altho not
so in the original Greek, rather Omega (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1540.2, March 17 at 0143 UT, no het against 1540.0 stations,
so WKVQ Eatonton GA finally fixed, or at least daytimer off? I believe
it was still there last night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, March 16 at 0556, RHC English with humbuzz here, but
clear on // 6000, while the other //, 6100 has lighter hum. 9700
presumably off by now, leaving JBA carrier from Turkey. 5040 is also
finished. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13630, March 16 at 1334, weak spurblob with F# tone tuned in
AM mode, but no program modulation in FM either; obviously out of RHC
13700-AM which is undermodulated and S8-S9 weaker than it could be,
also weaker than // 13740 at S9/+10. Opposite blob on 13770 is even
weaker JBA. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11530, Tue March 16 at 1753, S6-S8 open carrier to 1754*; all
other 25m signals much weaker except 11760 RHC. That`s apropos, since
per Aoki, this is:

11530 2255-2350 CUB Cuban Spy Numers Spa Bejucal 1246
If you`re lucky, may hear RHC audio by mistake or vice versa. Here is
a complete list of all those frequencies, each with a specific sked
depending on day of week: 9065, 9155, 9330, 10345, 10715, 10860,

turned off, uncovering XJPBS Urumqi in Chinese and with 5+1 timesignal
ending one sesquisecond late as heard via UTwente SDR (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 12035, March 16 at 1332 & 1418, no signal from VOT at
beginning or end of nominal English to W Europe and N America beyond.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. When this happen, a good
chance the sloppyrators have failed to change frequency from previous
broadcast; uplooked later, it`s German at 1230 on 15270. I had not
noticed a signal there, but one on 15350 which would be TRT in
Turkish; also at 1425 check, a fast SAH on 11815 which is 15350`s
successor after 1400, mixing there with NHK; so lack of 12035 cannot
be blamed on propagation.

5960 is another VOT frequency often AWOL, for English at 2300, but
it`s present March 16 at 2316 check, S9+10/20 into UTwente. When it is
missing, check these B-20 predecessors for overtiming: until 2130:
9625 French; until 2200: 5980, 6120 Turkish; until 2230: 9610 English

Today 5960 keeps running after English with IS; 2355 starts
interspersing German IDs, but cuts off at 2357* clearing frequency for
XJPBS EAST TURKISTAN, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7780, Sunday March 14 before 2300 WORLD OF RADIO, as I
reported, at 2259 WRMI had an English ID for PCJ Radio International.
As always, Richard Langley was recording the Sunday into Monday
2000-0300 UT 7780 span to check ever-changing program content,
including before 2300 an interview in Spanish about Cuban music
spreading elsewhere such as Zaïre; and the interviewer in a clip
sounds to me like Tom Meijer, as on the long-gone `Estación de la
Alegría` from Radio Nederland; which is something PCJRI would have
done, but why it`s on WRMI now instead of `Wavescan`, who knows?

Jeff White replies that it seems like an audio switching error as they
have no new programs from PCJ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, March 16 at 1419, world music from WRMI, not Brother
Scare; but 1429 ID and 1430 JIP TOMBS, becoming // 9395 & 9455. Sked
grid claims BS starts on 9955 at 1400 M-F. This keeps happening, but
any reduxion in Brother HyStairical is a good thing. Seems like
whenever I tune across him, he`s prompting for phone calls.

9395 is much stronger here than 9455, which doesn`t compute if the
respective azimuths really be 355 and 285 degrees, as we are roughly
halfway between them. Originally both were on 355, but at some unknown
point, 9455 allegedly changed to 285. Even when both were at 355, they
sounded unequal. There must be a disparity in the nominal 100 kW
powers for all WRMIs and/or in some other parameter(s) (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
