** COLOMBIA. 6010, March 13 after 2200 & 2300 check, no signal from
HJDH to Bogotá KiwiSDR. Not heard since test? UT March 10 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, still off the air March 13 at 2120 & 2155, but *2200
RHC on weakly direct in French. Via Bogotá KiwiSDR, in Portuguese
before 2300, 2300 switch to English, first item about someone killed
near the RHC studios. Sufficient but not super reception, while //
5040 is not making it there at all. Somethng`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUATEMALA. Re TGAV announcing a postal address on 4055: So I wonder
what happen if a North American send p-mail to P O Box 5. Is it
intercepted and returned before it go there? Or just vanish, along
with any r.p. enclosed. Someone must have tried it, perhaps unaware of
the ban.

Is there any other country in the world which has dispensed with
postal service??

Harold Sellers, Vernon BC, Canada replies: ``I was in Guatemala in
January. The people there told me that there has been no postal
service for a number of years. If important documents have to come in
or go out of the country, private courier companies must be used.``

And Ron Howard, Asilomar State Beach, CA replies on the WOR iog:

Hi Glenn, Curious situation with Guatemala mail. Found this online:

"The privatised Guatemalan postal service is currently suspended, due
to a years-long contract dispute with the government. For the time
being, the only option for sending or receiving mail / packages is
through an international courier. FedEx, UPS and DHL all operate in
Guatemala."
https://www.lonelyplanet.com/guatemala/post.

US Postal Service website currently shows service to Guatemala.
https://postcalc.usps.com/

Online I noted: "Effective April 6, 2019, the U.S. Postal Service™
restored mail service to Guatemala."

** JAPAN. 774, March 13 at 1157 I`m awake so hasten to check out some
TP carriers -- NHK has some audio here, heralded by the ToH TS chime
prolonged at 1200. See UNIDENTIFIED for what else (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** MEXICO. 650, March 13 at 1229 some Mexican music mostly atop WSM,
1230 into choral NA, 1232 Radio 65 jingle and opening `Buenos Dias,
Yarderos`, signature wake-up show. Not a bigsig, but glad still to
hear XETNT Los Mochis, Sinaloa, which really gets out; no other XEs
heard now in the 540-730 range. LSR here: 1244 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TAIWAN [non]. 7430, March 13 after 0100, no signal from the
publicized RTI Spanish test via unknown site. Via Nino Marabello, a
third series of tests has been scheduled, all these frequencies
obviously WRMI, so should be fulfilled:

``Estimado oyente, Las anteriores pruebas de frecuencia por la onda
corta de la sección española de Radio Taiwán Internacional no fueron
exitosas, por lo que realizaremos nuevas pruebas por 3 días, entre
lunes 16 y miércoles 18 de marzo de 2020.
Destinos: Sudamérica 16 al 18 de marzo 01:00-01:30 UTC 5800 kHz;
Centroamérica y Cuba 16 al 18 de marzo 02:00-02:30 UTC 5010 kHz;
España 16 al 18 de marzo 22:00-22:30 7780 kHz.``

5800 at 0100?? Won`t that pre-empt Argentina in Spanish, or has that
been moved? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2025 monitoring: confirmed Friday
March 13 at new time of 2200 UT, first American SWBC, fair-good S9/+10
on WRMI 9955 -- just a trace of pulse jamming at first, not later.

** U S A. 9330, March 13 at 1825, WLCR via WBCQ is off, still off
1905, but on with Arabic at 2006. Why the lapses? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, March 13 from 1200
after hearing the NHK chime timesignal at 1200 on 774; on the DX-398
with DF where obvious: 702, 693-NW, 666, 594-NW, 567 kHz.

702, at 1209 a slow SAH, one from WSW; also until 1215: 747-NW, 792,
828, 882-WSW, 972, 1035, 1125-WSW, 1297(2), 1512 kHz.

** CANADA. 2598-USB, March 12 at 0616, YL in French marine weather,
poor, at a time when nothing is supposed to be active among the NL
stations.

2749-USB, March 12 at 0616, another collision between Canadian coast
guard stations, and again at a time unscheduled for any of them in the
Nova Scotia-Quebec area. Better signals than 2598. Same RoboYL voice,
at first one in English, the other in French, 0619 both in French.
Almost every sentence ends before a pause with `vendredi soir`` =
Friday evening. Isn`t anyone paying attention at CCG? Are no mariners
complaining to them about this? By 0621, just one is on, and at 0627
in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 6010, March 13 after 0000 UT and recheck 0320, still no
signal again from Alcaraván Radio, or the Voice of Thy Conscience
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, March 12 at 0014, RHC is S9+20 but JBM and suptorted in
English, also some Spanish crosstalk; then English mod faded up a bit,
and it`s // clear undermodulated English on 6145, S9+20. Last night
RHC seemed to be starting the two English frequencies around 0100 but
tonight evidently they are trying for 0000. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6010v, March 12 at 0020, trying for COLOMBIA, I have a JBA
signal which is wobbling, perhaps caused by Doppler flutter, or two
stations slightly apart beating, one of them unstable. A slight peak
sounds like Chinese; or is it Spanish? Not Portuguese. Nothing else is
scheduled at this time but BRAZIL. Then I remember a previous finding:
another Cuban leapfrog mixing product of 5990 over 6000 another 10 kHz
beyond. At 0035 on second radio I can CONFIRM // audio 6010 and 5990,
so that`s exactly what it is now. The fulcrum RHC frequency 6000 has
to be on air at same time, and so it is tonight with undermodulated
English. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 2025)

** CUBA. 13780, March 12 at 1352, RHC here ex-13740; change or
mistake? Have used 13780 before; no obvious reason to move back and
forth. By 1437, 13780 is off. Still on 13700, spurless. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, March 12 at 2255, RHC in Brazuguese, and 2300 into
English. Finally four days after the imposition of yanqui-inspired
DST, RHC have found this transmission, moved one UT hour *later*
instead of logical earlier, ex-2200. Now probably at 2200 is French
ex-2100. 11880 was back on air yesterday but in Spanish before and
after 2300. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 13570, March 12 at 1353, poor signal in French; CRI
via Kashi/Kashgar at 1200-1357. Not usually audible here on the edge
of the ISM band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUATEMALA. 4055, March 12 at 0604, Radio Truth signing off in
English requesting reports to PO Box 5, Chiquimula, address! Then same
in German. Yet Dr Madrid has said over and over that there is no
postal service in Guatemala, e-mail only, certainly for outgoing
eQSLs. Is there postal or isn`t there? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU. 5980, March 12 at 2351, another Chaski-check finds JBA
carrier autocutoff at 2351:53.5*, which is 18 seconds earlier than
last check 9 days ago, March 3 at 2352:11.5*, i.e. right on the mark
of 2.0 seconds each. Not much jamming with which to contend this time
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

not now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15215, March 12 at 1356, S4-S5 open carrier with

** ALGERIA. 891, March 11 at 0057, music barely separable from 890
WLS, i.e. Alger network 1. From a few minutes earlier there were JBA
carriers on almost all the available lower 9-kHz channels (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. 9455, March 11 at 2012, only Firedragon via
UTwente SDR, while here direct it`s only music from WRMI. Radio Free
Asia was on 9455 first, sucking in ChiCom jamming, before WRMI
expanded to 24 hours; 16-22 in Chinese via various sites, this hour
via Saipan; also Tibetan at 02-03 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA [non]. 6010, 24 hours later March 10-11, no signal from
Alcaraván Radio, at several chex. So last night may have been a trial
run, but certainly successful. What`s next? Here`s what I did find:

6010, March 10 at 2333, JBA carrier, wobbly or Brasil? Nothing on
5910.

6010 & 5910, March 11 at 0046, no signals on Colombia KiwiSDR. 6010 at
0049 on Brasil SDR, trace of something; Inconfidência? Should have
been more than that if on.

6010, March 11 at 0240, almost 24 hours since HJDH first reported,
nothing; 0337 a JBA carrier from algo.

Note, per Aoki/NDXC, 6010 has BBC Persian at 0230-0430, first hour via
Bulgaria, second via Uzbekistan; and don`t you imagine Bahrain really
active in English after 0300.

6010, another check via Colombia SDR, March 11 at 2254: nothing (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15730, March 10 at 2330, RHC opening Brazuguese, S9+20 and
distorted. Aoki shows this was supposed to be in French except on
Sundays Esperanto; but Portuguese at 0030, so also shifted one hour
earlier no doubt to the consternation of their huge audience in
Brasil. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

Meanwhile at 2330 March 11, there is still no signal on 11880 when
English might have appeared, nor on 9720. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 6000, March 11 at 0105, JBA ME music --- Turkey in
Turkish at 01-03 --- and no RHC, but it cuts on at *0106 and gradually
starts barely modulating // better 6145. So is 0100 the nominal start
for evening English block, not before? Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, March 11 at 0542, this is the best of The Cuban Five,
all of which are still on in English (but 6060 sometimes Spanish),
S9+20/30 and fine modulation. 6100 is S9+30, less modulation but
sufficient; much louder than 6145 yet reading S9+10/20; and 5040 is
S9+20/30 loud enough, but always with that annoying squeal.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, March 11 at 2115, still no signal from this RHC, but
recheck 2204 now it`s on but in Spanish, still at 2248. Original sked
before DST was 2100 French, 2130 Portuguese, 2200 English. So far this
week, 11880 had not be heard at all, nor any replacement
time/frequency for English. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

11880, March 11 at 2300, when English might have appeared, still in
Spanish with full frequency announcement --- of course NOT including
the very one I am tuned to! What do they know? She says from now 2300
on: 13740, 11760, 11850, 9535; now going off/(or out of Spanish):
15370, 9640, 5040. Starting at 2400 UTC [sic]: 11670, 11700, 11950,
9640, 6000. I`m suspecting the announcement has not been DST updated.

In fact, some of those are already on! 11670 JBM < 11700 < 11760 >
11850 < 11880, by relative audibility. And VG 11950 has just opted
away for Mesa Redonda TV soundtrack, presumably // 6000. At 2311,
weaker 9535 & 9640 are both on in Spanish, but 13740 is NOT on -- most
of the time it`s AWOL, sporadically active. What do they know?
Something`s always wrong at RHC :::: (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [non]. 7295, Tue March 10 at *1857 via UTwente SDR, CRI via
EAST TURKISTAN cuts on causing CCI to IRRS which is still here; CRI in
disposable end-of-hour language-lesson filler for Chinese to English.
1900 IRRS jumps immediately to 7290, but a few seconds after European
Gospel Radio has already started on 7295.

7295, March 11 at 1900, same thing happens after a SAH of 3.2 Hz until
jump to 7290 slightly after FSN already started, this time a few
minutes, not just headlines, then into UN programming (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) See also USA [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO monitoring

** KUWAIT. 17550, March 11 at 2010, at UTwente SDR, no signal from R.
Kuwait, first hour of Arabic to C&W North America, allegedly running
all year but propagating this far only in summer. Can anyone, anywhere
hear it between 20-24 UT = middle of night in Kuwait? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185.683v, March 10 at 2335 open carrier, no modulation
audible from Radio Educación.

6185.7 approx., March 11 at 0545, S8-S9 of dead air from XEPPM, or
JBM? Nominal s/off remains 0600 until their DST from April 5 when it
will be 0500v*, not that it make any difference unless repaired (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 5910, March 11 at 0059 classical piano music, RRI ID
opening Romanian and // 7340, weaker and vs VOA/OCB DRM on upper edge
from 7345. At 0101, RRI English news also underway on 6130 // 7325, so
all four transmitters are back in service, at the moment (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, March 10 at 2334, no signal from VOT English, but a
JBA carrier offset minus, no doubt the usual EAST TURKISTAN (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) See also CUBA about 6000

** U S A. 263 kHz, March 11 at 0552 UT, ND beacon CVM, which is 25
watts from CiVic Memorial, Alton, Illinois (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15740, March 11 at 1915, VOA Grimesland already on S9+20/10
of warmup carrier. What a waste: they could be modulating it with
something useful like news in English or jazz. Prior to jump to 15730
at 1930 for rest of French hour, which has already been on 15730 via
Botswana; recheck at 2018, 15730 S9+20 with rap in English. During
French service. VOA`s programming priorities are terribly warped
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2024 monitoring: WOR is not intended to be
partially excerpted, but it`s just too tempting as filler for some
stations: ``Hi Glenn, Just to let you know that the first 7-8 minutes
of WOR 2024 was heard Wed 11 March starting at 1950 UT on 7290 kHz via
IRRS Shortwave. Abrupt cut-off at 1958 with IRRS sign-off
announcement. Best wishes, Alan Roe, Teddington, UK``. They`ve done it
before during the 19-20 hour on different days, unpredictably.

Confirmed Wednesday March 11 from 2100:26 on WBCQ 7490.197v, i.e. 6
seconds later and one real hour earlier than before, S6-S7 about equal
to band noise level, and this more-and-more daytime signal will only
be useful at closer optimum skip distances.

But there`s always simulcast Wed 2100 on WRMI JBA 7780: not any more!
Without notice, jazz music playing instead, and a variety of other
oldie genres, Slavic rock, something the DJ slowed down so it sounded
better to him. Turns out to be TIAMS, announced as first additional
broadcast at this hour. I had to listen via Rockport ME KiwiSDR to
find out; VP via UTwente (and also an hour earlier, 15770 not making
it there either during R. Prague and Tirana relays which I could hear
poorly despite not beamed across North America). Next and last 2024:
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

** U S A. 9385, March 11 at 1920, surprised to find WEWN here, English
discussions of nuns in Africa from Birmingham. Supposed to be on day
frequency 15610 after 1900, but nothing there. 9385 supposed to be
night channel, 00-09 UT only. Certainly much better here than 15610
which is normally JBA except with HF sporadic E enhancement at only 1
megameter distance. But is this a mistake, experiment or permanent
change? Own sked still claims 15610:
