Hauser
** CUBA. 5025, Mar 29 at 0630, S9+25/30 of dead air, electrical and
fuel wastage from R. Rebelde. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Mar 29 at 0637, RHC S9+28 of deadair. Something`s
always wrong at RHC; no others found with 9710 Vaticanned (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Mar 29 at 1424, RHC in Spanish S9+20 and even better
on 11760. BTW, have not run across legacy 15230 frequency in many
weeks of random tuning; nor 13780 which was a new frequency briefly
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 13690, Mar 29 at 0635, RNZP S9+10/25, VG
ex-13755/11725, sounds like BBC on 9915 but not // or way out of synch
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 7440, Mar 29 at 1352, RNZP JBA S6/S7, ex-7390. Still
inadequate here but not for us anyway and will only worsen into our
summer. Sked 13-17 with only 50 kW on 325 and/or 35 degrees (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15390, Mar 29 at 1422, checking out REE`s new A26
frequencies, this one continues to be AWOL on the African beam,
ex-AWOL 17755 for months. 17715 is S9 and SSOB for S America, even
better than 15500 for NAm S7/S9: at least that`s an improvement over
9690 in B-season which was way too low on an all-day path even in
winter. 15520 for ME is JBA S5, but might be needed for us at the next
transmitter failure (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 17620, Mar 29 at 1308, VOT`s NF for first English of the
day from 1230, only JBA S3/S4 here despite aimed thisaway beyond W
Europe. Could not be sure it`s really in English. No doubt the five
English repeats will continue claiming to be at 1230 on 17620 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 15320, Mar 29 at 1425, ME music, suspect Turkey NF, also at
1445, and at 1500, 5+1 timesignal, news. Yes, HFCC shows TRT/VOT in
Turkish at 1300-1600, 250 kW, 310 degrees also thisaway (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11660.019+, Sun Mar 29 at 1645, VOT English on new A29
frequency and time, for S Asia, but good S9+25 backwards into UTwente,
and the first convenient chance for me to monitor weekly `Letterbox
Programmme`. It had been airing right after the news but not any more,
or at least not today. Efsun with her careful but hard-to-follow
accent lasted until 1648, then `Geoeconomix Diary` read by Cemre,
about the IMF and World Bank. 1657 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 1659
classical music from Borodin`s Polovtsian Dances! 1703 finally
`Letterbox` theme and Cemre opening; first gives new A26 English
schedule, but forgets to include the final repeat at 03 UT. 1706
finally to letters: 1) Annan? --? Bayn?, of SWL club in India about
last week`s contest, but first he`s against the war in Iran, praises
VOT for ``impartial`` news about it. The answer to the contest was
somewoman whose name I can`t possibly copy, apparently a celebrity in
Turkey, a dietician? and champion free-diver, explaining what that`s
about; Of 58 entries, 55 got it right [and why should we care...?]. 2)
Mr --? Nakamura, Kyoto, Japan, heard 9660. 3) Jayanta Chakraborty, New
Delhi, wrote thrice this week; is economist; IDing a song for him,
logged Russian broadcast. 4) Jakov? Lizh?, Czech Rep. 5) Nicolai?
Rossi?, Montevideo, Uruguay, heard Portuguese on 7280. 1721 ending,
1722 theme (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. 9915, March 29 at 0645, `Weekend` on BBCWS, good direct,
sounds like same voices on NZ new 13690 but not // or at least not
synch. 06-07 is the only A26 hour of BBC on this legacy OOB
frequency, 125 kW, 65 degrees from ASCENSION (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2340 monitoring in A26: At 0630 UT
Sunday March 29 on WRN via WRMI, ex-0730: fortunately I am awake to
check since no one replied to my request: now confirmed only on 5850
S9+20/25, and 7780 S9/+15, both with a ``hollow`` sound in degraded
propagation, instead of 4 or 5 at a time: 5950 and 7730 off; 7570 with
SMTV // 9395; algo else on 15770 JBA.

Also confirmed Sunday March 29 at 1044 the now 1030 ex-1130 on WRN via
WRMI on 9395 S9+25, and 7780 S9. Tho still dated March 29, WOR
radioskd and DX/SWL/Media programs have been updated thusly.

Also confirmed Sunday March 29 at 1923 the now 1900 on IRRS SW via AM
Italia, 1322.997-, S9 into UTwente. Next:

** VATICAN. 11815, Mar 29 at 0638, RCC chanting, Slavic lang,
S9+20/25, and // 9710 at 0643. In A26 this is Ukrainian liturgy
Sundays only at 0605-0700, supposedly aimed 54 and 62 degrees, nowhere
near sidewise thisaway yet VG (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9236.0, March 29 at 0641, S8/S7 of dead air with JBA
clix every trisecond. One of those long mysteries, what is this? Noise
level barely low enough to audiblize the clix. Last logged Nov 17,
2025. Among other carrier mysteries always ending in -6 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

A26 DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS, WOR SCHEDULE UPDATED, AND WOR HITLIST have
already been sent separately to this same mailing list, q.v.

** COLOMBIA. 28612 USB, March 28 at 1935, HK1T wih quick contest
contacts. QRZ.com: ``HK1T Colombia flag Colombia, Salim (Sal) Gechem
R., Barranquilla, Atlantico, Colombia`` Hardlyany phonehams venture
above 28.5, let alone 28.6 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. Re: ``[non]. 530, March 28 at 0655 UT, JBA music, too weak to
be R.
Enciclopedia if on; that leaves CHLO Ontario (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)``

``Hello Glenn, FYI, Encic 530 has been running at low power for at
least several weeks, compared to their historical baseline. No doubt
apagón related. The Rebelde tx on Isla de la Juventud has been burying
them most of the time here. David E. Crawford, Indian River City,
Florida Libre`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** MADEIRA. 28559 USB, March 28 at 1933, CQ2W making quick contest
contacts. Not in QRZ.com, but three contacts around this time in
dxheat/cluster (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 28459 USB, March 28 at 1930, XE1YL, making quick
contest contacts in Spanish, English, QRZ? QRZ.com: ``XE1YL Mexico flag
Mexico, Patricia Mohedano,
Plazuela del Refugio 1429, Col. Plazas de Amalucan Puebla Pue., PU
72310, Mexico`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 6125.003+, S9+20/30 & 7285.018-, S9/+15 into UTwente, Mar
29 at *0359, VOT cuts on with IS, timesignal, and opening Malay!!!
It`s A26 now and Malay should be on 17720 only, one UT hour earlier
than 05 in the B-season. Those were the English! frequencies at 0400
in the B-season; missed checking, but English is now to be at 0300 on
6165 & 7275, and the targets exchanged between S Asia and N America.
So they`ve got the wrong language AND on the wrong frequencies! At
0440 still on 6125 & 7285, nothing on 17720. Something`s extremely
erroneous at Emirler - if not awry at Ankara. Will they get this
unraveled by 24 hours later? Also: why does VOT make one-hour shifts
between A and B seasons? Turkey does NOT observe DST, stays at UT+3,
and many of its targets, including India and Malaysia, do not either!
No wonder they get unnecessarily confused (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

S9+5 into Maryland SDR.

** CUBA [non]. 530, March 28 at 0655 UT, JBA music, too weak to be R.
Enciclopedia if on; that leaves CHLO Ontario (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, March 28 at 0626, S9+20/30 of dead air from R. Rebelde.
Standard remarx. No RHC frequencies found on now (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** MALI [non]. 5995, Mar 28 at 0629, no signal from Bamako, normally
audible not fading out till later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, UT Sat Mar 28 at 0359, Classical KUCO with IDs for
WPNE 89.3 and WHAD 89.7, which are in Green Bay WI and Delafield,
adjacent Door County also mentioned, amid `Beyond the Barrier`, 2-hour
ambient music show. These were not funding acknowledgements, but legal
IDs as if we were really listening to those stations. Also heard the
IDs at an odd time during previous hour. Never noticed this before on
BtB, which I try to hear every UT Sat at 0300-0500 on KUCO. I guess it
originate on WPR, but WPNE is supposedly on the WPR News network, WHAD
on Music network. It`s also replayed a few hours later before sunrise,
part of KUCO`s secret overnight programming. I searched out info:

https://www.wpr.org/shows/beyond-barrier
``WPR Beyond The Barrier -- Host Chris Kuborn’s musical journey is
continuing on from “Jazz Odyssey.” Since 2006, Chris offered listeners
the best in modern jazz. He’ll now take listeners on another musical
journey into the world of electronic and ambient music. “Beyond The
Barrier” features soundscapes and music from the early pioneers in
this genre to today’s newest artists. The program also features live,
never-before heard music created just for each episode.

Schedule - This program has been retired. Hosted by Chris Kuborn.
Note: “Beyond The Barrier” ended production on May 17, 2024. Archives
of past programs are available below.`` But there are still current
March 2026 dates for episodes:
https://beyondthebarrier.net/?m=202603
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2340 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday March
28 at 0300 on WTWW 5085, finally back on the air, S9+40/50 direct,
after ``Ancient Word Radio`` ID and just like old times, this
transmitter flanked by JBA spurcarriers plus/minus about 12.85 kHz,
i.e. 5097.85 S9+20, and 5072.15 S9+10. No modulation on them. Followed
at 0329 by some music till 0331* without ID or formal s/off.

Also confirmed Saturday March 28 at 1532 the 1530 on WRMI 9955, S9+30
into Georgia SDR.

Also confirmed Saturday March 28 at 1533 the 1530 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, 6160.001+, S8/9+10 into UTwente, and 3975 not on. From next
week: 1430.

Also confirmed Saturday March 28 at 1700 on WRN via WRMI 9395, S9+25
into Georgia SDR.

Not confirmed Saturday March 28 at 1700 on WRN via WRMI 7730: cannot
detect any signal into GA, FL, Bermuda SDRs, not even Miramar which
used to perceive it by groundwave. From next week, WRN will be at
1600, so WRMI relays to be reconfirmed. We hope WRN put up A26 program
skeds ASAP, linked via:

https://encompass.tv/solutions/radio/world-radio-network/network-schedules/

Not confirmed Sat Mar 28 at 1945 the 1930v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO:

Something`s messedup in Metairie, fouledup in Fort Worth (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 790, Mar 27 at 0658 UT, mentions 92.9 FM - no
correlations in NRC AM Log, nor WTFDA FMDB. However, KNST Tucson has a
sibling station on 92.9, The Bull. There could well be other instances
of such one degree of separation, not obvious without deeper research
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 15770, Fri March 27 at 1212, RAE via WRMI, S9
direct, from Spanish to multilingual ID reel, then in Italian, about
genetix and space. Italian is axually the language sked this hour M-F
on System C as in the RAE-only grid, but in the System C grid itself,
shows 1200-1230 only and something else 1230-1300, when I have yet to
check. Months ago, an Italian DXer asked me to confirm Italian from
RAE, but I try not to be awake at this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Fri Mar 27 at 2300, after ToH runup, RAE via
WRMI, multi-lingual ID reel twice in a row, S9+40, 2302 tangos, and
nothing but good music further on, including 2332 check (Glenn Hauser,

** BRAZIL. 25875 LSB, March 27 at 2218, unID in colloquial Brasuguese,
beeps, extended CB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [non]. 5990, March 27 at 2312, S9+10 of dead air in CRI relay

** COSTA RICA. 28467- USB, March 27 at 2214, TI2VVV calling CQ DX and
working; slightly low in frequency. QRZ.com: ``TI2VVV Costa Rica flag
Costa Rica, Victor carrera, San Jose Costa Rica, hatillo, Costa Rica``
and full of certificates (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, March 27 at 0635, S9+20 of dead air from R. Rebelde,
proving that waste of precious electricity is inconsequential.
Something`s always wrong at Radiocuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, March 27 at 2226, S9 of dead air with windhowl from
RHC; 11880 clear DA S9+20; both same still at 2314 check. SAWA (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GALAPAGOS [non]. 28444 USB, March 27 at 2306, HC8M/5, quickie DX
contacts, for a contest? Heavy accent, fonetix sound like Japón
Charlie 8 mike, slash 5, but must have been Hotel, ``not in
Galápagos``, i.e. back on continental Ecuador, but still good for WPX
purposes?? QRZ.com: ``HC8M Galapagos Islands flag Galapagos Islands,

Islands`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN. 774, March 27 at 1217, not even a JBA carrier from NHK-2, a
500 kW outlet I have DXed in the past here unto deep North America as
perhaps the most likely E Asian signal; TP MWDXing has not been
feasible since I became a night owl needing to sleep well past
sunrise; nor the three other 500 kW NHK2s on 693, 747, 873 kHz, any of
which I would like to hear one more time before they`re gone, as
notified in the WOR iog and on WOR 2340:

``NHK announced R2 will close its 95 years history at 1505 UT on March
29, 2026. At 1500-1505 last closing message will be on air. Most of
the programs of R2 will be transferred to "NHK AM" (former R1) and
"NHK FM" after March 30, except; Arabic Lesson, News in
Thai/Chinese/Korean/Vietnamese (to online only), Stock Market Reports,
"Easy Japanese" (to NHK World Radio Japan) and other 4 programs. The
transmission licenses of all R2 stations (including 4 500 kW sites -
Shobu (Tokyo) 693 kHz, Ebetu (Sapporo) 747 kHz, Ogata (Akita) 774 kHz,
Otsu (Kumamoto) 873 kHz) will be expired after April 1, 2026. NHK says
they will save 37 billion yen for the next 20 years by ending R2.

** NEW ZEALAND. 28480 USB, March 27 at 2212, ZL1WN calling CQ and
working WA2QWP, unheard. Good signal unlike 17675 RNZI at 2224, JBA
carrier, which is operating about 10/11 MHz too low for the MUF!
QRZ.com: ``ZL1WN New Zealand flag New Zealand, ROSS BIGGAR, 210 Oroua
Rd, R D 5, Palmerston North 4475, New Zealand`` and no QSLing (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.003+, March 27 at 2259, JBA carrier direct, still at
2311, so is it remnant of VOT, or East Turkistan? At 2330 into
UTwente, when measured, certainly VOT with Turkish music S9+30/40,
nothing but music except for promos, 2338 ``with-you-every-hour``,
2347 ``always-by-your-side`` and 2352 multi-lingual ID filler reel
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490, UT Sat Mar 28 at 0000, WBCQ S9+30 into Vermont SDR,
after FKB cut off, no disclaimer, but WTO theme for `AAAWWW`
interrupted by ``real``, and Yes, we are real, not Memorex...`` so is
repeat of last week, never mind. At 0015 check, *no* other WBCQ
frequencies are on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1440 kHz, March 27 at 0630 UT, checking for KPUR Amarillo
which was dominant before, rather hearing ad for Nissan in Lawrence,
and another after 0700, i.e. KMAJ in nearby Topeka KS. So is KPUR off
again after pro-forma reactivation briefly to retain license? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
