Sorry, I was in too big a hurry and omitted the subject line. Since that causes bounces by some recipients, here is the whole thing again. Glenn
** BRAZIL. 4885, March 10 at 2348, no signal from R. Clube do Pará
into three remotes, Pardinho, Brasília, Goiânia, nor a couple hours
later. Checking because of this item in NASWA Flashsheet:
``4885 BRAZIL. Rádio Clube do Pará, Belém, 3.6.25. weak but in the
clear here at 1010 well before the Korean fades in to take over the
fqy a little later on. OM with extended talks in PP. Nice to hear
again. Checked their website stream just to make sure and indeed //
(Ralphus W Perry – IL) {Hasn’t been heard in some time. – Ed. Mark
Taylor}``
Still nothing direct at 0638 March 11 on 4885. But happened to awaken
March 11 at 1011 UT and found a signal on 4885, S9+5, mostly talk with
some music bits, too weak to be certain of language but seemed more
like Portuguese than Korean.
Pará used to be all-night and should be on prime-time if serious. I`ve
brought this to attn of Rudolf Grimm, who recently ran a list of
active ZYs, not including this one. His reply:
``Hi Glenn, I'll take a look. I checked on the Rádio Clube do Pará
website and found that the only frequency currently in use is FM
(106.9 MHz).
I remember reading a while ago about the deactivation of RCP for both
medium waves (690 kHz) and the tropical band (4885 kHz).
It was made official. But the website doesn't mention use of MW and
tropical bands. There is no current positive reference on the Tudo
Radio website, nor on radios.com.br. It only mentions FM
transmission.
Based on your information, the recent listening time of RCP in
tropical waves coincides with the usual time of football matches in
Brazil.
{?? No, that was around 7 am local --- gh}
However, there is one fact to consider in this aspect that you report:
for some time now, we have had the occasional resurgence of Rádio
Cultura de Araraquara, 3365 kHz (remember this station?), even after
the deactivation of this frequency, on the days/nights of the
broadcast of soccer matches of Ferroviária FC, the city's main sports
team, only during the game times. At the end of the match, the 90 m
transmitter was put back to sleep until the next match of this team.
Today, March 11, the main team of Belém, Remo FC, plays tonight
against the team Criciuma FC, in a match for the 2025 Brazilian
Championship - Series C.
It is possible that the frequency of 4885 kHz will be used
extraordinarily. There is no reliable information. It is worth
observing from 2040 UTC to 0200 UTC today, according to the portal:

73, Rudolf`` 4885, March 11 at 2242, nothing on 4885 into Brasília SDR
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHAD [non]. 9535, March 11 at 0647, S4/S6 with flutter, music and
talk in uncertain language but one of better signals on band. EiBi
shows R. Ndarason International, in Kanuri via Woofferton UK, at
0600-0700. Similar signal quality on 9790, RFI from Issoudun (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** JAPAN [non]. 15130, March 10 at 2058, S7/S9 in Japanese, OOFSOB =
one of few signals on band. It`s NHK via FRANCE to CAf at 19-21 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. ``FCC Grants & Actions for Monday March 10: K288FX 105.5
North Enid OK Silent 1/30, antenna system failure`` (via Mike Bugaj,
CT, WTFDA) Yes, still off as of March 10 and so is 91.1 KKRD at same
site in North Enid [non = plain old Enid downtown], but nothing about
it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 11934.893+, March 11 at 2037, Rep. of Yemen Radio,
Arabic, still with heavy buzz. Ed Sylvester explains on the WOR iog:
``I live in Riyadh and have had meetings with SBA. At that time (early
2024), they were on the fence as to whether to continue.
The transmitters/antennas are currently in a sector of Riyadh that has
been designated for future housing projects. Hence, the government
will either fund a move or have them shut down permanently.
Because there has not been funding to date, they are cannibalizing
older transmitters for replacement parts to at least keep Yemen radio
on the air.
Saudi Arabia is in the midst of full bore modernization in all sectors
and DAB+ has been touted as the new medium for widespread
broadcasting. They also rely on high-powered MW broadcasters that can
be heard throughout the region.
The future of SW broadcasting seems bleak in KSA as surveys of
listenership have been spotty and unconvincing. Will know more in the
coming months. Fingers crossed. 73, Ed 7Z1ES`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** SPAIN. 9690, Mon Mar 10 at 2300, token English from SNR, VG into
Maryland SDR, better than 17715 better than 17755 much better than
nothing on 12030. Preview topic to be about Irish in Madrid
celebrating St Patrick`s Day already all week, not just Saturday? That
would be Ides of Mar, 15. First news item about debating defending
Ukraine; 2306 into feature (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960, March 10 at 2259, NO signal from VOT into UTwente;
possible overrun alternative, 9610, bears Mongolian from China only.
By 2320, 5960 has a bigsig S9/+10, but it`s Chinese, as Urumqi starts
at odd time of *2310 per Aoki. Something`s erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9610.022+, March 11 at 2250, S9+40 into UTwente with VOT
multi-lingual ID filler reel, nothing on 5960. 2252 s/off in Italian!
That must be on the web at 2230, but the only Italian SWBC is supposed
to be at 0930-1000 on 11970, per WRTH! Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler. Considerable CCI from China making a rippling SAH. 2253 VOT
IS plays until finally off at 2257*. Still no signal on 5960 but I`m
QRX on it:
*2258 March 11, 5959.999- cut on at S9+40/45 with IS and English ID.
2300 TS and s/on English as if it were 13635 at 1330: something`s
always awry at Ankara. And into olds, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2285 monitoring: confirmed Monday
March 10 at 2030.6 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.003-, S9/+10 into
UTwente.
Also confirmed UT Tuesday March 11 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+20/30 into
S Texas SDR.
Also confirmed Tuesday March 11 at 1300 & again at 1400 on WRMI 9955,
S6/S8 direct.
Also confirmed Tuesday March 11 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1322.997-, S9/+5 into UTwente. Between their ID and start of WOR,
there was something extraneous about cyclone hitting Mozambique.

** U S A. WTWW: George McClintock advises me March 11 that the #2
transmitter started smoking as some caps were burning. Will replace
them and hope 5085 if not 9475, to be back on air today or tomorrow.
9930 WWCR-1 nominal at 2306 check with TOMBS moanin` & groanin` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1700 kHz, March 11 at 0657 UT, ``1700 The Champ`` and 101.3.
That`s KBGG Des Moines IA, the FM a mere translator (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 21580, March 10 at 2054, S6/S8 open carrier is the OSOB,
except for again some DRMish noise centred on 21485. Nothing in HFCC,
EiBi or Aoki, suspect China for both. RFI does use 21580 a lot, but
not between 19 and 07 UT. The 13m SWBC band is drastically
underutilized, even now circa solar max. I`ve noticed some
intermittent SSB within too, intruders or mistuned hams? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KUWAIT. 7590, March 10 at 0613, JBA music. EiBi shows R. Farda at
0230-0830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND. 8828 USB, March 10 until 0625* mostly numerical by
monotone OM voice, ``--? VOLMET, out``. EiBi shows Auckland starting
at :20 and :50 past the hours, 24h timeshared with Kong Kong at :15,
:45; Tokyo at :10, :40 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. Tropo is up, with Tulsa/Okmulgee/Eufaula UHF TV sigs
decoding for first time in long time, and most `open` channels have at
least BAD signals into Zenith STB from my rooftop antenna still
permanently aimed SSE toward OKC, March 10 at 1552, including: RF 28 =
Ion 44-1; RF 31 OETA 3-1 = KOET; RF 20 KQCW-HD 19-1; and RF 28 KJRH
2-11. KJRH is NBC affil, originally KVOO-TV, but what`s it doing on
this obscure sub-channel? Soon fades below decoding level. I would not
have noticed it tuning by RF channels, but at virtual 2 it came up.
Strangely enough, searching rabbitears.info on KJRH calls shows it
only on RF8 as 02-1. RF 28 is axually KTPX-TV Okmulgee, virtual 44 for
ION. If you bring that one up, it does show KJRH as 2-11. BTW, this
Zenith set-top-box DTV converter must be left on all the time. If
turned off or a power failure, it`s tough to get it to turn back on
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9610.018-, Sunday March 9 at 2201, S9+35/40 into UTwente,
well above annoying ChiCom Mongolian CCI of CNR8, VOT English amid
music break, 2204 `Letterbox` continues with one from Bangladesh,
names Turkey`s best university. 2207 Liam? Spencer, USA, 15-year-old
from Colorado, heard 6125. Hostess glad to hear from such a young SWL,
implying SW is not dead yet. 2209 Jayanta Chakraborty, north India,
``Dear Sir``, plugs freedom of religion in India; she distances
herself from a commentary on Mon & Wed which is translated from TRT
World website opinion sexion, not originated by VOT or its English
dept. 2222 ``that`s a wrap``, hostess names herself, sounds like
``Jamie`` but probably not, and closing song. 2216 `LBox` theme/outro
as there is briefly some OTH radar? cliQRM until 2219.5, no more.
``always-by-your-side`` promo, 2217 song. 2222 TRTVOTVorld.com promo,
music. 2225 s/off as if 1330 on 13635, and 9 notes of IS before chop
2226* uncovering CNR8.
I miss the next repeat if it succeeded, circa 2320 on 5960, so plan to
catch the first part of L`Box on final repeat circa 0415 on
6125/7285.
Indeed, I do, tuning in a bit earlier via UTwente to 6125.004+, S9+45,
perfect reception, in strength, modulation quality, no QRM, better
than sufficient // 7285.018-, S9+5/15. March 10 at 0416 a commentary
about Sa`udi influence and policies concerning tribes in Syria and the
Levant; outro as by an international relations expert, name not
understood. Then program outro as `The Pulse of Turkish Foreign
Policy`. 0420.5 music. 0424 TRTVOTVOrld.com promo in 41 {sic; more
added?} languages, and `Letterbox` theme, opening. 0425 YL hostess
says Ramadan started a week ago and is still getting used to fasting
all day, and feels less energetic since she can`t have any coffee or
tea - sounds fine and awake to me. 0425 Siddartha ---, reported 3-8
Feb at 1730, SINPOs all 44444: how many NGOs in Turkey? 122, relying
on donations, also some state support. Malik -- --, Pakistan: glowing
review of VOT. 0429 got email from EBU about ticket competition? for
Eurovision Song Contest, Basel in May. She always enjoyed it as a
child. Turkey not participating for a few years, a loss. Song quality
not that good, but fun like a party. 0430 music break: Anatolian pop
rock, names not understood - sounds like a scratchy vinyl at start.
0435 wanted to resume ``question of the month`` but manager nixed it.
Next, about what is the largest university in Turkey? by km2, by
number of students, but the best academically is a private one, name
not understood - etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 8782, March 10 at 0622 tune-in, few words by YL in SSB,
``Forecast center``? Then Morse code ID once as KFS and off. Could
call it CW, but was still tuned to exactly 8782.0 where SSB was clear.
Klingenfuß 2022 says it`s channel 822 for coast stations, QSX 8258,
but no KFS, only EQJ, PPR and XSQ. EiBi shows 8782, 24h for KFS, Rio
Vista CA, and also 24h XSQ Guangzhou (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2285 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
March 9 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.997+, S9 into UTwente

** U S A. 9955, March 10 at 1544, WRMI-3 is off already as nominally
to 1530 in DST season, ex-until 1630 in ST season (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR0
** U S A. 15150, March 10 at 1537, WMLK infested by unstable spurs
circa +/- 4X kHz, at least 15142, 15146, 15154, 15158, much like the
17525 galaxy before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, March 10 at 0613, JBA signal presumed R. Vanuatu and
still not on 9960. Due to the imposition of DST I shall probably be
monitoring more in the 06 UT hour than the 07+ (Glenn Hauser, OK,

UNIDENTIFIED. 810.57 kHz, March 10 at 0554 UT, JBA carrier detectable
again aside 810 WHB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4200, 4800, 5100, 5400, March 10 at 0325 past 0405, and
0549-0601 UT, pips/beeps/carriers on and off at regular odd intervals
amounting to about 26X per minute on frequencies exactly 300 kHz
apart. Something never heard before. Details:
0325, found first on 4800.00 during bandscan; still past 0405. At 0407
found also on 5100, but fraxion of a second delayed using two rx, but
maybe because of different DSP delays in rx. And soon also on 5400
which is synched with 5100. Then I check other +/- 300 kHz spots for
this: NOT on 4200, 4500, 5700. Suspended chex 0416 as it`s almost time
for V of Turkey `Letterbox`, q.v.
0549 resume checking direct: 4800, 5100 and 5400, the latter with
almost double-pips, two sites? Now ALSO on 4200, but NOT on: 3900,
3600, 3300, 3000, 2700; 6000, 6300, 6600. At 0557: NOT on 4200, 4500,
but YES on: 4800, 5100, 5400. Not expecting any break for ToH ID at
0600, but listening just in case: NONE on 4800, 5100, 5400. So, what`s
going on here? Of course, nothing to be heard at next check in daytime
1545 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7725 CW, March 10 at 0616 UT, weak beeps at 24/minute,
related or not to the even 300 kHz intervals? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 8918 USB, March 10 at 0626, ATC comms, mentions 0625,
how copy? EiBi shows shared among Gander, New York and Piarco =
Trinidad (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Progreso, R Rebelde), USA (R Martí, V of America)
2) Turkey - Added a link to the TRT Global
Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe
** ITALY [and non]. 7399.906, March 9 at 1624, tune in UTwente just in
time for publicized monthly broadcast of Marconi Radio International
on ``7400`` until 1630 --- S8/S9 with Italian? talk vs much stronger
ACI from 7404.984 with ``shortwave`` jingle, Dutch? presumably R.
Piepzender as both these are the only stations anywhere, anywhen on
7395 & 7400. 7399.906 still going ast 1635 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 1549.82, March 9 at 0730, besides 1 kHz tones from unknown
US station, the JBA carrier hetting also detectable, maybe partway to
1549.81, presumed XEREL Morelia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 11934.893, March 9 at 1945, huge buzz atop Arabic
from Rep. of Yemen Radio via Riyadh, S9+20/30 into UTwente. Presumably
transmitter fault rather than jamming. Had been clear of this for
several weeks. Tnx tip from Tony Rogers and David Morris, bdxc (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2285 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday March 9 from 0511 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+15/20 with some
storm crashes into nearby SDR; very late after nominal 0415 as Houston
AMSAT started an hour late at 0400, after TWIAR, and before ARRL News.
From next week: WOR nominal 0315. Next:
2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy;

** U S A. 7505, March 9 at 0654 UT, WRNO on late again unpredictably,
S9+25 with song, presumably hymn (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. MW bandscan during the Hour of Confusion, March 9
after 0700 UT, hits several frequencies with 1 kHz tones, no doubt
from unattended and failed satellite feeds; exacerbated due to the
imposition of DST. These are not hets since the pitch peaks the same
on LSB and USB.
680, March 9 at 0714-0718+ UT, tone on for 30 seconds, off for 20
seconds, over and over. No announcement between, and not CJOB which is
continuously audible mixing with Manitoba mentions, intruding as usual
into American Airspace. Most likely my regular KFEQ, St Joseph MO, or
possibly KKYX San Antonio TX.
870, March 9 at 0719 UT, no doubt WWL New Orleans, 1 kHz tones
alternating with announcement, ``Westwood One, SES? something,
transponder 17, call 720-873-5177 between 8 am and 10 pm Eastern
time`` - that is not heard on most of the others but possibly only due
to QRM while the tones are clearly audible. AC 720 is Denver CO
overlaying 303, uplink location?
1100, March 9 at 0721 UT, S9+30 of dead air, no doubt WTAM. It`s
normally // but not synch with 1110 KFAB which is nominal now, and by
0727 WTAM modulation matches KFAB. No tones heard here.
1300, March 9 at 0722 UT, 1 kHz tone and unreadable announcement,
probably like on WWL. Too many possibilities, from KAKC Tulsa to
Nebraska, Texans, etc.
1380, March 9 at 0723 UT, 1 kHz tone on and off. Which?
1470, March 9 at 0725 UT, 1 kHz tone on and off. Which?
1550, March 9 at 0726 UT, 1 kHz tone on and off. Which?
Meanwhile I scan up and down the band a few more times in case I
missed some more tonals during pauses (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS
updated for North American DST season March 9, before confirmations
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html
** CANADA. Official SWL Channel of Gilles Letourneau, Québec, often
activates on Saturday afternoon. I check him from time to time, but
there is too much going on Saturday afternoons for me to follow one
thing for 5+ hours, starting circa 2000 UT:
https://www.youtube.com/live/RRzaF4LPGlE
I happen to retune about 0110 UT March 9, and there he is ``dancing``
or rather ``handing`` or gesturing to ``Midnight in Moscow`` music.
The whole shebang apparently shows him seated by his radios, chatting
with participants, some of the 50K followers he has accumulated. That
was apparently the final performance this week as the feed froze by
0112 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GERMANY. 9670, Saturday March 8 at 1800, `From the Isle of Music`
via Channel 292, VG into UTwente, delayed almost a minute behind 3955,
but much better VG signal on 9670 until fading down last new minutes
before 1900. Inconvenient scheduling, since it collides with `Talking
Machine Show` on WWCR 12160, and Metropolitan Opera. I had to miss the
first hour of `La Bohème`. Same situation next week for his other
monthly, `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot`, unless I can manage to catch its
first and only other airing, Friday at 2200 on 3955 only, as UB will
not availablize his shows ondemand online, in support of the shortwave
medium (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6960 AM, UT Sat March 8 at 0237, JBA music, no doubt
Ball Smacker Radio on its reliable Friday-evening frequency and time;
more reports here:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,141935.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6849.9 AM, Sat Mar 8 at 0238, disco beat music JBA.
More reports here as Liquid Radio on 6850, but none later than 0232:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,141937.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17715, Fri March 7 at 2222, another frequency missing from
REE, the one for SAm which is second-best for us in the also continued
absence of 12030 for ME. Still on 17755 for Af, VG S9+30 9690 for NAm.
2300 token English previews topic about a feminist leader for
International Women`s Day. All checked direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9610, March 7 at 2315 direct, algo weak can`t tell if VOT
English, and nothing on 5960. At 2332 into UTwente, only Chinese on
5960, only Mongolian on 9610. VOT a total loss; but this saves them
from another error, German after 2400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.003+, Sat Mar 8 at 2300, VOT English not off
the air; something`s not erroneous at Emirler, S9+25/40 into UTwente
and not even tried direct. Some hum, and somewhat
overmodulatedistorted. News already over at 2311 music. 2317
``always-by-your-side`` promo, music. 2320 talk about Feb 2023
earthquaxe, pipeline from Azerbaijan, Georgia. Not sure of title, but
sounds familiar. 2226 music. 2330 TRTVOTVorld promo. By now there is
CCCCCCI which does not make it easier to understand Efsun the
axentuated who is back! talking about something, 2243 outro title was
`Dream Destinations`, I have to check Roe`s sked to find; music. 2347
``always-by-your-side`` promo again, repeat feature about famous cats
from the White House to Hermitage to Key West. 2351 music. 2353
``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2354 s/off as if it`s the 1330 on
13635, awry. 2355 first notes of IS about one sesquitime, and chop
off* uncovering ChiComusic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2285 monitoring: confirmed Friday
March 7 at 2315 the 2300 on WRMI 9955, S9/+10 direct and
undermodulated. From next week: 2200.
Also confirmed Friday March 7 at 2333 the 2330 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.003, S8/9+5 into UTwente.
Not confirmed UT Sat Mar 8 at 0400 on WTWW 5085, remains off air. From
next week, if on: 0300. Stream is not working either, tho when it did,
WOR was not to be heard even when airing on 5085.
Confirmed Saturday March 8 at 1542 the 1530 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.000, S8/9+10 into UTwente. Almost QRM-free: nothing on 6155,
strong music on 6150, presumably Europa 24 from Germany; weak algo on
6165 with warble, CRI Pashto via Urumqi.
Also confirmed Saturday March 8 at 1700 on WRN North America stream.
Also confirmed Saturday March 8 at 1833 the 1830 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.003-, S9+10 into UTwente.
Also confirmed Saturday March 8 from 2028 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
S9+20 into nearby SDR by groundwave. From next week: 1930v.
Also confirmed Saturday March 8 at 2030 on WRN North America stream.
Also confirmed Saturday March 8 at 2100 on WRN Europe stream. There is
always a pregnant pause of about 10 sex between their WRN intro and me
starting. Next:
0330vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0415; as late as 0600];

** U S A. 9930, March 7 at 2229, no signal from WTWW-1 with TOMBS, nor
at morning check today. 9475 still missing from WTWW-2 so totally off.
Probably not on subsequent night frequencies either, 5920 & 5085.
However, 9930 found on with TOMBS at 0044, but gone again at 0120, nor
on 5920; but 5920 is on at 0305 & 0357 chex, not 5085 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, UT Sat Mar 8 at 0043 into NH
SDR: 7490 -77 Hz = 7489.23, S9+15 of FKB; 9330.00, S7/S9 of WLCR in
Portuguese; 6160, 5130 & 3265 all OFF. At *0055, 5130 -25 Hz =
5129.975 with The Planet ID & IS loop. 6160 -68 Hz = 6159.932 now on
at S9+10 with some music. At 0100, only 5130 & 7490 join for `AAAWWW`
this week, not 9330, not announced as originally aired last week, but
it is obvious rerun as talkover during theme includes ``Either or not,
we`re coming thru ... billions & billions of radio receivers out
there...`` and quick interjexion at end sounds like ``Fab-u-4``, segué
to ``Turn Your Radio On`` hymn; tuneout (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. WRMI sked grid is now ``as of March 9, 2025`` per the
header, but each individual System program grid is *still* dated as
``effective March 10, 2024``!!! Altho each has doubtless been changed
numerous times in the past year, and we still spot some of the same
old errors concerning WOR and other programs, never 100% matching
reality of what really airs:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pcIEX8kisrOPqlXHDAq6gympKUgDj0SIb96qce2kGGQ/edit?gid=0#gid=0
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 17509 JBA, 17513, 17517, 17521; 17529, 17533, 17537, JBA on
17541, slightly unstable spur carriers at 4x kHz intervals above and
below 17525, obviously emanating from that S9+30 WMLK, March 7 at
2221.
At 0158 March 8: ``More fun from WMLK? I'm seeing a really strong
carrier, no audio, on 17525 during the past 30 minutes (the 0100 UT
hour). Only noting this due to some recent mentions of them on 17525.
I see it on several SDRs I've checked as well. Did someone lock up for
the night and forget to turn out the lights? Tony Pavick, Hope BC
Canada`` -- In a hurry for Sabbath? Could not go back to do ``work``
after sunset just to turn it off? Yahweh`ll get `em for that?
Apparently it did get turned off eventually. Hmmm, does automation
count as illegal ``work`` since set up by believers? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. 880, Sat Mar 8 at 0806 UT, KRVN, Lexington NE starting `Our
American Stories`, usual dominant signal here. From next week: 0706
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7636.0, March 8 at 0713, open carrier at S9+ plus clix
once per second. Same as logged March 4. No other significant hits in
archive to explain it. Also had 9236 on Feb 26, but this time
instead:
Also 9126.0 at 0716 March 8, S2/S3 carrier but only occasional random
clix. Searching my archive on 9126 gets this hit, maybe coincidental,
Sept 13, 2024 from:
``Takahito Akabayashi, Tokyo, Japan --- According to Japanese radio
amateur Ryota Mitobayashi, JJ1WTL, US-based companies have set up 4
Experimental Shortwave Financial Data Trading stations in Japan. All

UNIDENTIFIED. 21480-21490, March 7 at 2219, DRMish noise direct.
Nothing of any ilk listed on 21485 per HFCC, Aoki, EiBi, drmrx.
Suspect could be another China DRM, but sounds not quite normal with
some pulsing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
