CUBA a real mess of intermodulations from - probably Quivican site - ?But puzzled me up tonight, at 04.45 UT on March 11. Signals heard in remote SDR in MA-US state east coast.

CUBA. 6100, Sunday March 10 at 0710, RHC S9+20 in undermodoulated Esperanto, only frequency still running. 0700 should have been the DST timing, instead of 0800 as they have kept announcing all winter. Now that EDT has just started, will they stay at 0700 UT? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1756 UT March 10 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list

DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS updated for DST scheduling: http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html
** CHAD [non]. 12050, March 9 at 1938, song in language? Not Spanish! Yes, WEWN is AWOL again, clearing frequency for R. Ndarason International. 1941 announcement and ID in French, then song in French; 1954 into presumed Kanuri, mentions NigÃria, Cameroun, Tchad, Boko Haram, terrorisme; S9 with deep fades to S6; more music, 1959 ID and talk mixed in French and Kanuri. This 19-21 transmission via ASCENSION was reported by Ivo Ivanov as missing Feb 27-28, but heard again March 5. Note: since its western language is French, not English, this RNI certainly pertains to Chad, apparently originating in Ndjamena, rather than Nigeria (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 5025, March 10 at 0706, R. Rebelde is S9+30 but overmodulated/distorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 6100, Sunday March 10 at 0710, RHC S9+20 in undermodoulated Esperanto, only frequency still running. 0700 should have been the DST timing, instead of 0800 as they have kept announcing all winter. Now that EDT has just started, will they stay at 0700 UT? 15140, Sunday March 10 at 1501, RHC Esperanto is just starting, now one UT hour earlier for this emission, and suptorted; then I check // 11760 and find it`s already running about a minute ahead of 15140, so separate playouts, an anomaly not noted previously. Could not stay with it to copy sign-on schedule announcement, but will be a miraklo if they get everything right (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 11760, Sunday March 10 at 1350, RHC medical show is just starting, after pre-emption last week, so Arnie`s `En Contacto` DX show just missed was also probably back at 1335-1350, both shifted one UT hour earlier since as a running dog of Yanqui imperialism, Cuba adopted EDT same time as the gusanos in Miami, shifting all(?) Spanish programming an hour earlier. The other times for E.C. on various frequencies should now be Sunday 2245? and UT Monday 0140. As for English, we expect the first airing to be at 19-20 instead of 20-21 UT, still on 15140; big question is what happen to the ``Africa`` service which after a lot of confusion when DST went off last November, finally settled into 22-23 (usually) on 9720. Will it go back to 23 UT, and/or change frequency yet? Next airing at 00-01 on 5040 normally shifts an hour earlier to 23-24 whether or not the other frequency start matching it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 15700, March 10 at 1443, China Plus relay in English is still here, and still defective: this time S9+30 and suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUATEMALA. 4055, March 10 at 0705, harmonious hymnody, S9/+10, as TGAV Radio Verdad must be on very late, an hour past usual sign-off. Are they or am I confused by imminent imposition of DST? Not me; my watch stays on 24-hour UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [non]. 11570.040, March 10 at 1448, VOA Korean is off- frequency, soon playing a song in English; off by 1500 recheck. HFCC, EiBi and Aoki/NDXC all list 11570 as PHT Tinang site but at 1200-1400 only, nowhere later. Saipan is more likely to be off-frequency. So at this hour is it really NMI? 9985.036, March 10 at 1502, Korean at S9, off-frequency, presumably RFA. Once again, Saipan more likely than Tinang to be askew, altho Thailand is capable of that too. This was not on before 1500. As for previous doubts that 9985 was really reactivated Saipan, Wolfgang Bueschel forwarded a bunch of IBB auto-monitoring captures labeled SAI for that, so apparently is, if we are willing to take their word for it. Maybe one transmitter was not so destroyed after all, retaining and resuming signature capability of offfrequenciness (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1972 monitoring: NO WRMI, Saturday March 9 at 2209 tune-in 9955, rather fluttery JBA carrier: see UNIDENTIFIED. 9395 WRMI is on OK at S8. But as I listen, WRMI with WOR cuts 9955 on at *2211, S6-S8; unknown if a momentary break or no start at all until now; recheck at 2229, still on as WOR has just ended. Confirmed newish airing UT Sunday March 10 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG S9+20, after a few notes of unneeded intrusive music between the WRMI ID and start of WOR, as happens too often by this automation. Also confirmed UT Sunday March 10 at 0430 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, S9+20 as I comment on ``irrational DST`` about 6 minutes into so started circa 0424 (and due to CDT, nominal start from next week will be 0315 UT!) Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, confirms: ``GERMANY, Reception of World of Radio via HLR on 7265 CUSB, March 10 https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2019/03/reception-of-world-of-radio-via-hlr-on_10.html ``1130-1200 7265 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg CeEu English Sun, fair signal`` Next: 2130 UT Sun WRMI 7780 to NE 0130 UT Mon WRMI 5950 to WNW, 9395 to NNW [probably; or 0230??] 0230 UT Mon WRMI 7780 [NEW; unconfirmed] 0300vUT Mon WBCQ *5130v Area 51 to WSW [ex-0400v] 0330 UT Mon WRMI *9955 to SSE [ex-0430] 0930 UT Mon Unique 5045-LSB NSW ND 1900 UT Mon IRRS/NEXUS-IBA/IPAR 7290 Romania 0030 UT Tue WRMI 7730 to WNW [or new 1973?] 0100 UT Tue WRMI 7780 to NE [NEW; unconfirmed] 0900 UT Tue Unique 5045-LSB NSW ND [-1000 two episodes] [NEW] * also webcast; direct linx to these and many others at: Complete WOR sked, all affiliates, satellite, webcast, AM&FM, podcast: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WRMI schedule has been partially updated for DST, effective March 10: http://www.tinyurl.com/WRMIfqs The frequency grid shows 9955 ending at 1400 UT instead of 1500, except on Sat & Sun when `Full Gospel Hour` huxtergasms are appended. Other 9955 hours are: 1100-1400, 2100-0400, but also 1000-1100 Sundays only. See also UNIDENTIFIED 9955 below. Argentina and Albania English relays have moved an hour earlier to 0100-0200 instead of 0200-0300; RAE is UT Tue-Sat, and Tirana UT Tue- Sun, on 9395 & 5950, so we assume filling the gap on UT Mon will still be WORLD OF RADIO at 0130 instead of 0230; while other non-9955 airings should stay at same UT. But some additional changes have been made concerning WORLD OF RADIO: NEW UT Mon 0230 on 7780; Still UT Tuesday 0030 on 7730 but then NEW 0100 Tue on 7780; Tue at 2030 & 2130 on 7780 & 5950; Wed & Thu at 2100 on 7780 & 5950; The last two sets of four WOR airings have previously been disproven, except for Tue 2030 on 5950, as otherstuff such as RAE relays in German have continued running instead at 2100. But it`s time to reunconfirm them, just in case (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 3445-AM, March 10 at 0027, VP carrier, pirate? Nothing reported here at HF Underground, and I can`t figure out any local AM/SW mixture (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 9955, Saturday March 9 at 2209, fluttery JBA carrier, as WRMI is OFF until *2210 joining WOR in progress. What could this othersig be? EiBi appears to list every single WRMI program on 9955 separately, but as of 1555 UT March 10, still showing obsolete EST scheduling; aside from permanent changes/updates, everything should now be one real UT hour earlier on this frequency. It was last updated March 5. And shows absolutely no other station on 9955. http://eibispace.de/dx/freq-b18.txt Ditto Aoki/NDXC, unusually not updated since March 8: http://www1.m2.mediacat.ne.jp/binews/ut/userlist1.txt But HFCC has a B-18 registration at 18-22 for HBN = T8WH PALAU due west in Mandarin/English --- would that really be Radio Free Asia? Not on their known schedule, nor VOA`s. And no part of China is due west from Palau, rather Mindanao and Malaya! Maybe it`s a jammer against nothing, and running overtime to boot. Fortunately, when active, WRMI easily overcomes it here. But with WOR now earlied to 2100 Wed & Sat, this could become a CCI problem (Glenn Hauser, OK, March 10, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1756 UT March 10 _ 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/

** CUBA. 6000, March 9 at 0339, RHC English is S7-S9 but just barely modulated; // 6165 also S7-S9 with undermodulation more or less sufficient. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. 7435 // 7355, March 9 at 0332, Radio Martà VG on both Greenvilles with only a trace of jamming underneath, in novelty song about a muÃequita y ratÃn conversing. Rather it`s a children`s song interrupted for conversation on that subject. How does this undermine the Commies? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** JAPAN [non]. 6105, March 9 at 0337, NHK Warudo, Japanese opera with percussion, S9+20. This 02-04 UT transmission via FRANCE for all the Japanese in Central America also puts a VG signal into N America, where NHK has abandoned hundreds of millions of English-speakers; but contains lots of interesting ongaku (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MADAGASCAR. 6180, March 9 at 0336, Spanish from La Voz Alegre as MWV is scheduled this hour only; no sign of Portuguese from RNA; nor anything else. Presumably if reactivated on 6180, RNA would be closing around local midnight now, 0300 UT; while CRI Mandarin via CUBA is also there until 0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MALI [and non]. 13685, March 9 at 1512, CRI English is JBA but same as on 15700 via Cuba; so Bamako relay is funxioning today (Earlier circa 1340 had JBA carrier on 13685.7, Turkey off-frequency in Uighur) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 101.5-WBFM, March 9 at 1726 UT, KOCD Okeene is *still* cutting on the air for 7 seconds, off for 25 seconds, interrupting praise music in Spanish, i.e. 22% funxional. Back at KWDW-LP HQ at the church in SW OKC, they either have no clue about this or don`t care. Hey, 22% is better than nothing and I`m sure all listeners enjoy what musicbits they can hear (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SPAIN. 9690, March 8 at 2135, REE playing harpsichord music, unusual, soon YL announcement in Castilian that this is ``special programming`` because of a strike (huelga) for International Women`s Day; more variety of music fill, partly classical, flamenco, etc., never any IDs of the music, but REE IDs and repeated ``special`` announcements. 2200 timesignal and right into ``Firebird``. So it`s special in the sense that they are just playing records instead of producing usual programming. This is // 11940, but there is different music fill on 12030, and the fourth frequency, 11685, is missing. So perhaps a female on strike was responsible for that transmitter, the others safely under male control? 2259 recheck, now ``Ode to Joy`` with Spanish lyrix; 2300 still huelga announcement, so presumably no English today either, as I tune out. The REE music hour at 2200 had much better signal than 7490v WBCQ when I was tempted to listen to `Behaviour Night`. But 9690 back to normal by next day, Sat March 9 at 1738 check via UTwente, the males` stupid ballgames, with heavy ACI from both sides: 9685 CRI Kashgar, East Turkistan in Hausa; 9695 CRI Kashi in Mandarin, per EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1972 monitoring: confirmed by Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria: ``GERMANY, Reception of World of Radio via HLR on 6190 CUSB, March 9 https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2019/03/reception-of-world-of-radio-via-hlr-on_9.html 0730-0800 6190 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg CeEu English Sat, good signal`` Confirmed in awake OK, Sat Mar 9 at 1252, the 1230 on WRMI 9955, good, no jamming (from next week: 1130). Also confirmed Sat Mar 9 at 1548 the 1531 on Hamburger Lokalradio, 9485-CUSB, not direct nor via UTwente SDR but audible more or less readable on Italian Kiwi SDR. But Alan Gale, England, reports: ``Hi Glenn, Well, after sitting here listening to nothing but band noise on 9485 kHz for most of the afternoon, would you believe that the signal suddenly appeared, and at a good strength at 1557 UT, just in time to hear your closing announcement followed by the HLR closing message. Oh well, hopefully IRRS will still be on 7290 at 1800 UT on Monday and I'll have another chance to catch it on there. Alan`` Make that 1900. Next: 2030vUT Sat WA0RCR 1860-AM MO non-direxional 2200 UT Sat WRMI *9955 to SSE 0030 UT Sun WRMI 7730 to WNW 0400vUT Sun WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0415], ND 0830 UT Sun WRMI 5850 to NW, 5950 to WNW, 7730 to WNW 1130 UT Sun HLR 7265-CUSB Germany to WSW 2130 UT Sun WRMI 7780 to NE 0230 UT Mon WRMI 5950 to WNW, 9395 to NNW 0300vUT Mon WBCQ *5130v Area 51 to WSW [ex-0400v] 0330 UT Mon WRMI *9955 to SSE [ex-0430] 0930 UT Mon Unique 5045-LSB NSW ND 1900 UT Mon IRRS/NEXUS-IBA/IPAR 7290 Romania 0900 UT Tue Unique 5045-LSB NSW ND [-1000 two episodes] [NEW] * also webcast; direct linx to these and many others at: Complete WOR sked, all affiliates, satellite, webcast, AM&FM, podcast: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat March 9 at 0103, WBCQ webcast opening `Allan Weiner Worldwide`, but soon seems to be an oldie, as he refers to ``my girlfriend Angela``; 0151 recheck, familiar talk about the Super- station with its 9-inch diameter transmission line; also says *none* of the other 500 kW SW transmitters in the world are really running at full power (but WBCQ`s will??). John H Carver Jr was also trying to hear this on the radio: ``Can't copy 7490 this evening. No signal that I can find on 9330. 5130 has the militia so am listening on 3265 with a very poor signal. Tonight's show is a repeat of an earlier show that I already reported on. So with a very poor signal and the fact that it's a repeat I end this report. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, March 9 at 0413- 0422 on R75 with E-W longwire tuning at 9 kHz steps, 1 kHz below TA frequencies listening for 1 kHz hets: 531*, 549*, 558, 576, 585, 603, 612, 621(2), 639, 666(2), 684, 693*(2), 729, 738, 747, 756, 774(2), 783, 801, 837, 855*, 873, 882, 909, 936, 954, 999, 1026, 1044, 1053, 1089, 1116, 1152*, 1161, 1179, 1206, 1215, 1224, 1296, 1305(2), 1314 (2), 1413, 1422, 1521, 1539, 1575. *=stronger ones; (2) = at least two carriers beating. One of my larger harvests. A few more were probably blotted by IBOC noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report despatched at 1759 UT March 9 _ 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/
