By 1418, however, 13780 dead air has some just-barely modulation. BTW, this proves that 13700 & 13780 are now from the same transmitter site. Despite Aoki showing 13700 Bauta, not caught up with new 13780 but had ex-13740 at Bejucal. EiBi doesn`t list either 13740 or 13780, but 13700 as b for Bauta.

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, UT Sat March 21 at 0100, RAE in English via WRMI: no news, whole program about a rock group, Almendra, on the exact 50th anniversary of their album. But that was in January 1970, so evidently a 2-month-old program repeated to fill, because:

Heard once before recently; rather like we used to find around 17450 in the daytime. Ideas? And this from *2017y*, 3+ years ago: ``UNIDENTIFIED. 9258-9272, Feb 1 at 0444 and still 0457, S9 multi- carrier ringing sound producing a single hi-pitched tone when tuned in AM, centered on the only WINB frequency, 9265, which is normally off the air by now. What in the world? Are they testing something new, or is this something else? Another check for this 25 hours later, Feb 2 at 0523, not heard. 9265, Thu Feb 2 at 1302, there it is again at totally different daypart, whine at S9+10. If this were Sunday, WINB would be on already. Will be interesting to see whether this ever QRM WINB during its normal schedule. Still going at 1420 past 1442 during which I try to locate the carrier peaks on the hi side at least, approx. 9265.5, 9266.1, 9266.8, 9267.5, 9268.2, 9268.8, 9269.4, 9270.1, 9270.7, 9271.3. Then I pull out the keyboard and find a close match at E above hi C = 659 Hz, within a very few Hz of that. Any ideas what and whence this is? It`s similar to some others I have heard, such as circa 17450 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1863, DX LISTENING DIGEST)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0457 UT March 21 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/

Trouble is, they immediately start talking about COVID 19, which I`ve had enough of already all week+ from the major media; and I hardly need to hear his pious take on it being godswill, and faith will get us thru it. Recheck at 0050, drifted down to 7490.05 as reading 1710 pirate log from new FRW just out; then some e-mails and benedixion. (I believe John Carver has computer problems again so no version from him, at least not yet. If anyone heard any significant WBCQ info about programming, technical, future plans, etc., do tell.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Again tonight, UT March 21 at 0100-0300 I survey what`s happening on each WRMI frequency, whatever the skedgrids may imply: 0100: 5010 // 5800 // 5850, Alameda robobibling in Spanish 5950, SMTV 7570 // 7730, TOMBS 9395, RAE in English, see ARGENTINA [non] 9455, Hal Turner (I don`t need to hear his take on COVID 19 either) 9955, jamming and gospel huxter in English - Walking in Power sked 0130: 5010 // 5850 // 7780, WORLD OF RADIO 2026 5800, Radio Tirana`s secret SW broadcast // 9395 5950, SMTV 7570 // 7730, TOMBS 7780, WORLD OF RADIO 2026 // 5850 // 5010 9395, Radio Tirana`s secret SW broadcast // 5800 9455, Hal Turner 9955, gospel huxter in English - Circuit Rider scheduled 0200: [mostly monitored via Rockport ME SDR, also 0230] 5010 & 5800, OFF, unlike last night 5850, VORW, again about COVID 19, but music later 5950, music, talk in English & Spanish about COVID 19; is this SMTV? 7570 // 7730, TOMBS 7780, Radio Prague in English // 9395 9395, Radio Prague in English // 7780 9455, music, Oldies? 9955, Radio Praga in Spanish 0230: 5800, still off, unlike last night with Tirana repeated from 0130 5850, presumed more VORW 5950, same as 0200 7570 // 7730, TOMBS 7780, Ukrainian Radio, English, folk tale continued, UTwente 9395, VORW // 5850 rock music [note: first half on 9395 Prag NOT //] 9455, music, Oldies? 9955, Eslovaquia in Espanish; well audible only at Colombia SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9294-9320 approx., March 20 at 0605, wideband multi-carrier ute whine of some sort, S9, apparently not blocking any broadcasters around here. Heard once before recently; rather like we used to find around 17450 in the daytime. Ideas? And this from *2017y*, 3+ years ago: ``UNIDENTIFIED. 9258-9272, Feb 1 at 0444 and still 0457, S9 multi- carrier ringing sound producing a single hi-pitched tone when tuned in AM, centered on the only WINB frequency, 9265, which is normally off the air by now. What in the world? Are they testing something new, or is this something else? Another check for this 25 hours later, Feb 2 at 0523, not heard. 9265, Thu Feb 2 at 1302, there it is again at totally different daypart, whine at S9+10. If this were Sunday, WINB would be on already. Will be interesting to see whether this ever QRM WINB during its normal schedule. Still going at 1420 past 1442 during which I try to locate the carrier peaks on the hi side at least, approx. 9265.5, 9266.1, 9266.8, 9267.5, 9268.2, 9268.8, 9269.4, 9270.1, 9270.7, 9271.3. Then I pull out the keyboard and find a close match at E above hi C = 659 Hz, within a very few Hz of that. Any ideas what and whence this is? It`s similar to some others I have heard, such as circa 17450 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1863, DX LISTENING DIGEST)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0457 UT March 21 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/

Friday, March 20 2020
** AUSTRALIA. 11865, March 19 at 1325, S Asian song, 1330 RBA signing off until 1230 tomorrow. Per EiBi, the last quarter hour on Thursday would have been in Bengali (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 9215, March 19 at 1351, Asian language unseems Chinese, not like CNR1 or Sound of Hope, but those are the only listees (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11462, March 19 at 0513, 5-digit spy numbers in Spanish and digibursts, S9-S7; absolutely nothing audible broadcasting on 11 MHz band, at least on my indoor longwire. EiBi shows schedule on this frequency is Tu/Th/Sa 0454-0520 & 0854-0920 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 6125, March 20 at 0358, Radio Martí above wall-of-noise jamming plugging USG policy on immigration; 0359 QSY announcement, pronto en 5980, 6030 y 7435. What? 5980 does not start until 0600, and it better not now! adjacent WRMI NHK on 5985. 6030 is buried in jamming, really on 7355 instead of 5980, and also 7435, both VG with midnight music hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) see TURKEY ** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9705, March 19 at 1345, Japanese talk, VP. It`s Furusato no Kaze via TAIWAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO [and non]. Wolfgang Büschel reports: ``They have fixed the recent faulty transmitter in Mexico City D.F. now at 0210 UT on March 20 fine sound, heard canciones in Spanish language. 6184.992 kHz XEPPM and noted S=9+5dB signal in Cape Canaveral Florida remote SDR`` However, when I check 6185 at 0424, there`s a heavy SAH of about 6 Hz, with AWR Austria in Turkish; some music audible. After 0430 in clear at S9+10/20, music almost sufficient but still undermodulated compared e.g. to neighbor 6175 VOA Botswana (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9395, March 19 at 1348, Brother Scare on WRMI has QRM from ute noise across both sides but slightly less with LSB tuning (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, March 19 at 2302, I can tell VOT is on today! But too poor in storm noise level to copy. We can hardly wait another dekaday until A-20 with the usual lift to 9830 and a real UT hour earlier, so it will seem to remain at the same local time in the studio? Not any more, Turkey`s last year observing DST was 2016y, per timeanddate.com, but old habits die hard. 9830 should propagate better, but as always will confront that constant RTTY from NAU Puerto Rico, unless they turn it off by 2200. The other English to North America will again be at 0300 on 9515, ex-0400 on 6125; and also USward at 1230 on 15450 ex-12035 at 1330. 6125, March 20 at 0400, Radio Martí has just quit but jamming prolongs, with VOT English becoming detectable under but would still be tough without the jam (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

UT Friday March 20 at 0100-0300, I monitor what every WRMI frequency is really doing, somewhat contrary to schedules, see http://www.tinyurl.com/WRMIfqs --- now that the Taiwan experiments have concluded; but will they be back?

Only broadcaster would be PBS Sichuan in Tibetan, but supposed to span long before and after this hour. Maybe just a hAM, who are normally LSB reserving top end below 7300 for AM diversions (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0445 UT March 20 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/
