 ** CANADA. 2598 USB & 2749 USB, March 12 at 0645 UT, NO signals from Canadian CG marine weather stations in NL and NS. DST did begin in most of Canada on March 9 same as the other 48 states, ha ha, and we had been hearing these after 0737 so it seems VCO, VCP et al., are sticking to UT scheduling. Rather than a real hour earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 650 kHz, March 12 at 0702 UT, very occasional JBA whooping under WSM. There are a Progreso and a Rebelde on 650 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 1549.82 kHz, March 12 at 0649, still JBA carrier hetting 1550 stations believed to come from XEREL, Morelia, Mich. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 6185-, March 12 at 0631, XEPPM is OFF! Still off at 0917. México`s last SW station, R. Educación, hope not gone for good. Had been reliable late at night, and hardly anything else above 6115; 6160- WBCQ has been drastically curtailed with the departure of TOMBS. WRTH 2025 shows no callsign for 6185, but Señal Cultura México, 1.4 kW at 22-12 UT. EiBi agrees on the hours, but Aoki shows 21-10. There are no longer any DST shifts in most of Mexico. At 2232 I try the KiwiSDRs in MexCy XE1AF, and Qro: nothing on 6185. At the bottom of this page there is a 6185 program schedule dated March 2025, a lot of blanx, but only between 17 and 24 local time = 23-06 UT. After 06 SW must have been relaying one of their other stations: https://radioeducacion.edu.mx/carta-programatica-del-mes There are also play linx further down page including one for 6185, which does play music at 2305, but suspect is not a live feed. https://s2.mexside.net/cp/widgets/player/single/?p=8178 So anything to hear after 2300 UT March 12? At 2301, 2307, 2325, still nothing on 6185 to either XE remote. At 2344, nothing to Qro tho a thin line on 6180 from Brasil is showing. At 2342 I sent them this message on contacto form: ``Anoche después de la medianoche del miércoles, en mi propio receptor de OC en Oklahoma, ni esta tarde después de las 17 HCM, nada en 6185 por remotos en CDMX y Qro. Es una emisora predilecta para mí. Espero que su última emisora de OC de México pueda volver al aire tan pronto como posible. Favor de explicarme qué pasa? Saludos.`` (Guillermo Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 95.5, March 12 at 1946 UT into caradio, non-ID as K95, then Tulsa ad. So this is KWEN, 100/100 kW in Tulsa, but per WTFDA FM DB, it`s `K-95 FM` but the hyphen was *not* pronounced. Adding to the confusion are two other 95.5 around here only, with almost same branding! KITX, 50/50 kW in far Hugo, SE Oklahoma, `K95.5 FM` both country; and KAHE, 100/100 kW, Dodge City KS, `Super Hits K95` no hyphen, i.e. Classic Hits format. At least there are no further ones if respelt ``Kay/95`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** PUERTO RICO. 391 MCW kHz, March 12 at 0644 UT, DDP San Juan/DoraDo beacon is JBA, always a welcome sign of good propagation, the only one outside N America I ever hear. DXinfocentre.com and RNA Signals List continue to conflict about its power, 1000 vs 2000 watts resp. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 11730, March 12 at 0625, RRI concluding French with satellite and contact info, and IS, S9+20, SSOB way above e.g. France 11700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 12030, Wed Mar 12 at 2308, token English from SNR is finally back on its ME frequency, S9/+10 backwards into Maryland SDR, almost as good as NAm 9690, S9+10/20; 17715 or SAm also VG S9/+15, but 17755 for Af JBA S5/S7. 12030 axually resumed March 11, a non-English Tuesday, as reported by JRX in Brasil. Topic at 2315 today something about the treatment of human remains in museums (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.004, March 12 at 2255, S9+35/40 into UTwente, VOT IS & IDs in English, not off the air today unlike yesterday, nor was 9610 in extraneous Italian at 2235, just Mongolian from China. 2300 TS and s/on as if it`s 1330 on 13635 and into olds; no time to listen further today, as I am checking XEPPM et al.; until 2344 when the multi-lingual ID filler reel is playing. 2346 music. 2351 s/off as if 1330 on 13635, awry, a little earlier than usual and IS plays for a while atop the Chinese understation until uncovered at 2355.7* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 407 MCW kHz, March 12 at 0645 UT, ND beacon HRU is JBA. Finally confirmed not off the air, but much weaker than it used to be: 25 watts at Herington KS. RNA signals list had it last logged 2024-12-29 so maybe had been off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 420 MCW kHz, March 12 at 0645 UT, ND beacon FQ, 25 watts at `Montz` Fairmont MN. Sometimes hear the much closer 25 W, PK at Olathe/Herbb KS, but not now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2285 monitoring: ``Richard Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, From the desk of Richard’s listening Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF (30 years of service), Antenna: random long wires in the trees. WRMI, USA, World of Radio #2285, Missed the first part forgot about the time change, 9395 kHz, QRN, 2355, 2357, 2358 (4-55433), 2359, March 11 UTC 2025 [Wed](Lemke, Richard -AB)`` Confirmed Tuesday March 11 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S5/S7 into Valley City ND SDR, more or less in direxion aimed. Also confirmed Wednesday March 12 at 2043 the 2030 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.003-, S9/+10 into UTwente. Also confirmed Wednesday March 13 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490 -76 Hz = 7489.924, S9/+15 into NH SDR; following gospel huxter at 2057, presumably TOMBS like 9930 WTWW, cut off at 2059 for ID. Again, no more Pirate Joe`s Extravaganzo just before us. See separate entry. Next: 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160. Financial support appreciated for our non-commercial public service program: MO or check on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7489.924, Wed Mar 13 at 2057, TOMBS gospel huxter on WBCQ instead of `Pirate Joe Extravaganzo` as still on outdated WBCQ sked, nor was he on last week. What about the other alleged times? Not ``EST`` but UT here: M-F 20-21, Tue also 19-20, with this blurb: ``To quote an article written about Pirate Joe in Roll Magazine: "The Pirate Joe Country Music Radio Show and Old Blues and R&B Extravaganzo" features music from the vintage collection and airs Tuesday through Thursday from 3-6 PM. J.P. is never afraid to provide a more left-leaning viewpoint to counter the roar of the AM right as well. "Look, the rules of the game are, if you're doing anything worthwhile, you're probably not going to make money at it. It's inversely proportional. If you're doing garbage, you are going to get rich. And as we become more of a corp-tatorship, that trend is only going to get worse." Might as well just enjoy the music, then. And with Pirate Joe the music is always a blend of truly Classic American Music that you rarely get to hear and will always appreciate and enjoy`` -- JP and AW go way back, but one wonders if AW`s dedication to Free Speech reaches its limit (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WTWW: George McClintock messages me circa 2225 UT March 12 that #2 transmitter is back in service, so if nothing further happens, should be going for WOR UT Sat 0300 on 5085. Still no return to 9475, it seems. 5085 not yet on the air today by 2400, but should be later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 770, March 12 at 0704 UT, WABC NYC disclaimer and singing ID overcoming KKOB NM, normally dominant here with its 12.5 kW ND STA. Are they restoring ballooned tower to resume U2 50/50 kW protecting WABC? The 230-watt 770 at night relay in Santa Fe is reported out of synch with ABQ, but I never hear an echo. It ought not to be necessary while on ND STA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 830, March 12 at 0707 UT, dead air from WCCO, but only for a minute or so from tune-in, whew (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1460 kHz, March 12 at 0651 UT, plug Fox Sports Radio via iHeart app. Most likely KXNO Des Moines IA, U2 5/5 kW, NE/SW at night. I was listening for Punjabi or something Asian, as KBRZ, Missouri City [Houston] TX has been reported from Washington state, U1 5000/125 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1510 kHz, March 12 at 0654 UT, two stations clashing at equal levels, one with `C2CAM`, the other sports talk. At night, clear channel WLAC Nashville TN should own the frequency, as most other 1510s in mid-America must be daytimers only. At 0659 one of them mentions 94.5 FM: Bingo, that`s KCTE Independence MO, 10 kW DAYTIMER direxional SSW right toward us. 94.5 is a mere translator K233DM of ``ESPN Kansas City``. WLAC is the C2CAM affiliate per NRC AM Log (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 810.56 kHz, March 12 at 0706 UT, JBA carrier still hetting 810.0 WHB KC, MO. I`m going to keep logging this and reporting it until I, or someone can help pin it down (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1680 kHz, March 12 at 0652 UT, deadair atop weakers, presumably my closest and dominator, KRJO Monroe LA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 3312.0, March 12 at 0633-0637 UT, weak carrier, and more just like it approx. 3280.6, 3296.3, 3359.2, i.e. about 15.75 kHz apart. Bingo: No doubt radiation from some analog TV set, maybe neighbor. All sets in this house are ``off`` but some plugged in, so in standby mode; 15.734 as explained here: https://www.reddit.com/r/audioengineering/comments/2mszh4/whats_up_with_this_spike_at_around_157khz_on_the/?rdt=56556 These would be harmonix in the 200+ range! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 4885, March 12 at 0917 UT awaken check, JBA carrier, presumably Korea as Brasil should be much stronger if on at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9236.0, March 12 at 0621, again the open carrier except for regular clix, S8/S9 direct. Unlike before when the clix were exactly every second, now they are timed at about 21 per minute, and audible out to 9221/9251 or +/- 15 kHz. What is this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0009 UT March 13 _ 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/

 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: https://radioclube.dol.com.br/ 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. Next: 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 0030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 2030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160. Financial support appreciated for our non-commercial public service program: MO or check on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** 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?
