** ARGENTINA [non]. See USA: WRMI

** CUBA. 6060, March 25 at 0611, RHC is S9+30 of dead air in English;
6100 sufficiently modulated at S9+20, better than 6145; while 6000 and
5040 are off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13764, 13636, 13572, 13828 approx., March 25 at 1440, they`re
back! After quite a break, the extremely distorted FMish spurblobs out
of 13700 RHC transmitter. So bad I can barely tell that the original
modulation is musical. These at approx. plus/minus 64 kHz multiples.
Meanwhile, 13780 is off already. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15700, March 25 at 1446, CRI Plus relay is undermodulated and
crackly; something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 15120, March 26 at 0012, CRI Spanish relay is S9+10 but
suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,,
WOR)

** CUBA. 15730, March 26 at 0014, RHC in French is S9+10 and
distorted; 5040, March 26 at 0014, RHC in Kriyol is S9+30, distorted
and hummy as usual on this frequency. Kelka shows twojure mowvay a RHC
(that`s Pidgin Creole) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 800, March 25 at 0050, amid a TA carrier search including
one on 801, gospel huxter in Spanish dominant here at least on the E-W
longwire, despite KQCV OKC gospel huxtering in English.

Again March 26 at 0042; got to be XEROK Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua as
there are no USA SS:REL, at least not in the SW quadrant; SSS
enhancement? Right around our LSS. Much of the night XEROK is VP or
inaudible, with CKLW if anything besides KQCV to be heard. Originally
150 kW ND, one never knows how much power they really run at any
moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN [non]. See USA: WRMI

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2026 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday March 25
from 2100:20 on WBCQ 7490.1v, JBA.

NOT confirmed, Wed Mar 25 at 2100 on WRMI 7780 tho still shown on
sked, instead JBA music, presumed secret airing of TIAMS which started
two weeks ago.

Wed 2100 is also an imaginary time for WOR on System D with *no*
frequencies. No, I do not find me on any other: 9395 RAE Italian, no
doubt an ancient airing; 9455 Oldies; 9955 playing ``Wipeout``, 15770
TOMBS. Nothing on 5010, 5800, 5850, 7570, 7730.

Confirmed UT Thu Mar 26 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, fair S9.

Next WOR 2027 should be audible by early UT Friday March 27, first N/W
Hemisphere airing at 2200 on 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5850, March 25 at 0610, WRMI is unusually off; no doubt
because of distorted modulation I told them about a few hours ago. By
next evening back on OK repaired, 0011 Slovak from RSI, VG S9+10, not
distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Another survey of what`s really on WRMIs, UT March 26:

0015:
5800 // < 7570, SMTV
5950 // < 9395, gospel huxter in English about sociopaths
9455, Brother Scare with clip about Trump blowing it
9955, wall-of-noise jamming

0100:
5800, Taiwan Spanish prueba fecha 18 de marzo hace una semana
5010 // < 5850 music, which?
7780, WORLD OF RADIO 2026
9395, RAE ATTW in English with news --- make that olds!!! including
Juan Guaidó just recognized at State of the Union as the true
president of Venezuela --- that was on UT February 5!!

0130:
5800 // 9395, Spanish ID, World? music
5010 // 5850, different music, which?
7780, Wavescan, from HFCC KL repeat
9955, gospel huxter in English

0200:
5010 & 5800 off
5850, music
7780, Spanish via UTwente; probably Taiwan repeat
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5830, March 25 at 0610, S9+20 of dead air with some hum from
WTWW-1; much stronger signal than neighbour 5935 WWCR, anyway (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 711.00, March 26 at 0010, carrier hetting 710 KCMO has
become audible unlike before 0000. Fades stronger, so at 0032 I can
make out a SAHof 192/minute = 3.2 Hz. No modulation detectable. This
time I also DF it on the DX-398 and it`s NW/SE, certainly not from
Europe --- but the SAH may well be, such as Morocco.

After last night`s report I found many more reports of this mystery in
the IRCA iog, including:
https://groups.io/g/IRCA/topic/72538278

``Mark Pettifor 4:16am #7391 --- First noticed by Bill Frahm on
Facebook. Looks like some kind of transmitter that's way off
frequency, or accidentally transmitting on 711. By nulling, the signal
seems to be coming from the direction of Cuba. Indeed, when tuning to
the Key West SDR, it's quite strong, with a hum. No regular audio,
just the hum (which I don't hear from my location).

Attached is a screenshot of 5-minutes' worth of signal from my
location here in northern Indiana (1020-1025 UTC), showing some audio
artifacts on 60 and 120 Hz. This was on the south DKAZ, and Cuba on
710 was also coming in well at that time. Mark Pettifor, Goshen, IN,
KC9DOC / en71ao``

``Nick Hall-Patch 8:48am #7399 --- If it's a spur, it's widespread.
Noted as late a 0630 UT in Victoria (also viewable on the respective
DXFishbarrel), and seemed to be 711.000. At that time, I just assumed
that it was Laayoune and tried to get audio, but didn't stay up late
enough to see if it faded out at sunrise there. Nick``

Bill Whitacre 9:21am #7402 --- It was ‘in’ here [VA] ’til after
sunrise. Be interesting to see when/if it ‘fades in’ tonight — here
and there``

The only reason Radio Rebelde is on 710 is to block ``wacky`` WAQI,
Miami; main one is 200 kW but there are 6 more across The Greatest
Violator of Human Rights of the Antilles, ranging from 1 to 50 kW. It
seems quite likely one of those is off-frequency; from a transmitter
with exact 1-kHz step tuning. Or almost, earing the het compared to
720 WGN, this one seems slightly on the plus side tonight. Overall,
not as outstronging as last night.

BTW, as I was monitoring this, there was a burst of RF noise at 0052
--- sure enough, it`s my nearest street light igniting, horizon almost
clear at sunset 0048 UT. Usually I notice when tuning on SW; quite
wideband. Fortunately it diminishes as the light brightens (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA carrier search, starting at 0029 UT
March 26, 19 minutes before LSS: 1215, 1044, 936, 909, 774, 711 q.v.,
549; by 0043 also 891.

As for 774 which I reported with maybe 3 carriers beating last night,
I would tonight also, but remember that before, there has been a
spoiler in there, something local, unclear if receiver birdie or
external, but even more offset below 774.000, matching something
without any NDB ID, just below 387.0 of which 774 is 2 X. Previously,
but not now, this has also been detected on X 3 = 1162, and X 4 =
1548, both of which could also be taken for legit 9-kHz bandplan
signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

I'd been chasing a Fox Sports Radio affiliate on 1350khz on and off for an
hour or so here in Laramie, Wyoming this morning. There's KPWK San
Bernardino, CA and KDZA Pueblo, CA.
I've heard KDZA before which is an easy one around sunrise here but I
wasn't convinced what I had was them.. just my gut and the way the signal
was behaving.
About 6:48am mountain I finally got a locally identifying liner, "Dan
Patrick, mornings at 6 on The All New Fox Sports IE 1350". Here's my audio
from 6:48am mountain time this morning
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1deR3U3Nf_Xdhz-wH0LCUYXNfeOgvNYuA/view?usp=sharing
So my instinct was right and I have logged a new one, California's Inland
Empire KPWK San Bernardino!

** ALBANIA [non]. 5800 // 9395, UT Wed Mar 25 tune in WRMIs at 0140,
nothing but songs in unID language, Tirana as usual? Not for sure
until 0159 a few notes of IS before RMI ID and onward. See also USA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, UT Wed Mar 25 at 0100, RAE ATTW English
relay via WRMI, opening a ``new edition via WRMI 9395 at 2 AM [sic]``
--- but subject is conductor Daniel Barenboim as one of ten legendary
Argentines (well, at least born there), same evergreen edition we
heard last week; only wish I had time to listen to it straight thru.
RAE has supposedly closed down for COVID-19 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15370, March 24 at 1858, RHC is S9+20/10 of dead air; next
check 1952 is musicking. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, March 24 at 1900, RHC opening English, first broadcast
of day, and as always this transmitter-frequency is awfully distorted.
Don`t they notice or care? Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Tue Mar 24 at 2330, RHC English with `DXers Unlimited`
underway, Arnie talking about QRP antennas; mentions he [CO2-kaka]
tried one with 4 watts on 14060-CW and made 3 contacts. His speech is
fairly readable today, but MEGO subject matter of no interest here.
Wraps up at 2338. 11880 is becoming reliable so I will not remark
``SAWA`` this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11850, March 24 at 2330, RHC is JBM with music // 11760,
11700, and distorted 11670; plus and minus the 11850 JBA spur carriers
on 11840 & 11860. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 11950 is also on
with separate Mesa Redonda TV soundtrack, S9+20 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TAIWAN [non]. 5800, UT Wed Mar 25 at 0100, RTI relay test via WRMI
is *still* running in Spanish, and handily announces the original date
in the opening, ``miércoles 18 de marzo``, so here`s another
auto-repeating a week-old file.

9395 // 7780 // 5010, UT Wed Mar 25 at 0200, RTI Spanish yet again
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, March 24 at 2347, VOT English to N America was on
today! By now in post-IS loop, S9/+10 but noisy. Pause at 2356
restarting loop about to lead-in to German, but shortly cut off*
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9455, March 24 at 1853, TOMBS on WRMI is S9-S7, NVG but much
stronger than JBA carrier 9395. Both are on the same azimuth 355
degrees, same antenna type 805 in HFCC, and same power 100 kW. How can
this be? Something`s unequal. Rated powers of SW stations are just
that --- doesn`t mean they are really running anywhere near that
level. Propagation is pitiful today so even the Superstation on 9330
is a JBA carrier, leaving 9455 as the SSOB! Yet at 18z WWV reports K
index 0, solar flux 70, no storms past or future (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. Pro-forma search of all possible WRMI frequencies, March 24
at 2154, finds no sign of WORLD OF RADIO, despite System B scheduling
for Tuesday 2130 but with no frequencies shown. The 21-22 hour for
this and many other imaginary programs has been on the grid for many
months. WRMIs are either inaudible/off, JBA carriers, or emanating
something else (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WRMI survey 0100-0300 UT Wed Mar 25; see also ALBANIA,
ARGENTINA, TAIWAN:

I`ve notified WRMI about the distortion on 5850 tonight and last night
and they were looking into it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1539.96 approx., March 25 at 0035 UT, low audible het stix
out vs KXEL 1540.00 et al., no doubt KGBC Galveston TX. Splitting with

0040-0053 UT, right across our LSS at 0047; starting at top end, as I
have just got the KGBC het below 1540. 1584, 1575, 1539, 1521,
1511.99, 1503(2), 1485, 1467, 1458, 1431, 1422, 1305(2), 1296, 1215,
1179, 1107(2), 1053, 999, 936, 891, 882, 855(2), 837, 801, 774(3?),
747, 729, 711*, 693, 684+, 621 --- but none lower this close to
sunset.

Note 1521 where Saudi presumably still closes at 2230? Maybe it`s East
Turkistan instead. First one, TA tipping me off was 1512, and I tried
to measure it as a possible domestic spur. Lowest off-frequency in
mwoffsetts is the megawatt Saudi at Jeddah on .992 or .993.

Big het from 711 is by far the strongest, but not much modulation, at
0051, nor any timesignal audible at 0100. 300 kW from Morocco most
likely; also hi powers in Egypt, Iran, and Spain has 25 kW (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ALASKA. 11755, March 24 at 1515, praise song in English, 1517
Russian announcement from KNLS, fairly holding its own against
slightly stronger 11760 RHC; still at 1556+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13780, March 24 at 1512, RHC still on in dead air, while
13700 is still modulating; no spurs at all. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [non]. 7295, March 23 circa 1845, end of the detestable Steve
Bannon`s `War Room Pandemic` via IRRS, expecting a second hour which
is not aired here; music fill until 1859 IRRS ID explaining that its
transmissions are in ``compatible USB``, so best reception by USB
tuning. This is NOT the case via current Romania (or Bulgaria?), but
may have been years ago when they were really out of Milano!

The only reason now to choose USB or LSB on these full DSB/AM
transmissions is to avoid adjacent channel interference from the
opposite side; of which there is plenty. All this via UTwente SDR.
Even 7290 has splatter from 7280 - Vietnam listed, not 7285, as IRRS
immediately jumped down to 7290 at 1900 for WORLD OF RADIO this
Monday, socially distant 5 kHz from 7295 CRI Urumqi, East Turkistan,
land of brainwashing Uighurs.

Note: from next week in A-20, different situation with IRRS shows one
UT hour earlier. Registered to jump from 7295 to 7290 at 1800,
whatever the adjacents may then be (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN [non]. 5800, UT Tue March 24 at 0100, WRMI still replaying
RTI relay test in Spanish, this one about the CV.

7780, UT Tue March 24 at 0200, WRMI replaying RTI Spanish relay test
dated March 17, automatically from one week ago rather than restoring
automation to previous whatever. See USA for another survey of what
WRMI is really airing these hours on other frequencies (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2026 monitoring:

Confirmed Monday March 23 at 1900+ on IRRS 7290, after a few FSN
headlines, VG via UTwente SDR, just jumped down from 7295. Note: from
next week WOR to be at 1800 instead on 7290.

Also confirmed UT Tuesday March 24 at 0100 on WRMI 7780. Next:

2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

** U S A. See also TAIWAN [non]. Survey of what`s really on WRMI in
the 01-03 period UT Tue Mar 24; I hope I`ve got this all right from my
convoluted scribbled notes; using direct or various remotes as needed.
I ignore 5950 presumed SMTV; 7570 & 7730 presumed TOMBS:

0100:
5010 // 5850, Robobibling in Spanish, Alameda Bible Fellowship (why in
the world are they doing this? The entire Bible is available read and
recorded by human beings, which ought to be more effective. Maybe God
is really a robot? Or at least more relatable to inhumans)

5800, RTI Spanish test repeat from a week ago
7780, WORLD OF RADIO 2026
9395, RAE in English; presumably old show as closed down by CV

0130:
5010 // 5850, Wavescan
5800 // 9395, Radio Tirana
7780, ``pilot episode`` of new show! Missed name, music. Not WS.
9455, ``God Bless America`` music break in Hal Turner`s favorite
rendition

0200:
5010, 5800, nothing audible at Alexandria VA, off
5850, music in Spanish; then distorted, similar to 7780 & 9395, not
synchronized?
7780, another repeat of RTI Spanish March 17 test; music // 9395 at
0225
9955, Radio Praga, Spanish

0230:
5850, Slovakia in English, very distorted; // 9395 not distorted
7780, Ukraine in English
9455, rock music, oldies?
9955, Slovakia in Spanish
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4840, March 24 at 0612, S9+30 of dead air from WWCR instead
of TOMBS, but still modulating on 3215; 5935 DGS at S4-S9. 5890 not on
air, nor should it be (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
