** CUBA [and non]. 1040 kHz, March 28 at 0639 UT, wobbler below WHO.
No others at the moment, like 550, 650, 870 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 1549.815 kHz, March 28 at 0610 UT, I finally compare the
off-frequency het believed to be from XEREL Morelia, to my keyboard =
F# below Cmiddle, 185 Hz per
https://homes.luddy.indiana.edu/donbyrd/Teach/MusicalPitchesTable.htm
Previous estimates were 1549.82 but I could tell it was not .820
precisely (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Surprised to see this in Mike Bugaj`s daily FCC update
for Thursday March 28 {sic, March 27} on the WTFDA FMDX-NA list:
KJAL    91.9    McAlister    OK    ex KBCW-FM
KJAR    95.9    Woodward    OK    ex KCSC-FM
WTFDA FM Database already has the new calls, and supposedly still
classical like 90.1 KUCO, but not specified as relaying it. However,
FCC, both AM Query and LMS show both calls only as D-eleted somewhere
else! So I Contact KUCO: ``Please explain what`s going on with
McAlester & Woodward. FCC info shows these have new calls, KJAL and
KJAR, and I no longer hear KBCW or KCSC mentioned on your IDs for
KUCO. Have you sold them off to EMF or something?`` Under normal
conditions I can`t hear either of them in Enid; think I heard 95.9
under a previous previous call when tropo were up (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. Re my 790 log assumed to be KGHL Billings MT, Tim Hall
replies: ``Another possibility: KFGO also runs CBS news, also uses the
"mighty 7-90" slogan, and is phonetically more similar to KSVN.`` --
Tnx, Tim, yes, I overlooked that one in the NRC AM Log. Could be, but
let`s compare their powers and direxionality: KFGO Fargo ND is U2
5000/5000, totally northward at night, while KGHL is U1 5000/1800,
i.e. non-direxional day and night.

Then March 28 at 0634 UT slightly above the pileup, local weather with
a low of 24, I think, so in the North, but no further clues, 0637 into
C2CAM. KFGO is on that net, not KGHL. Of course, by now it could be a
totally different C2CAM station.

But meanwhile: ``Latest IRCA Slogans List compiled by Kraig Krist
https://misc.kg4lac.com/irca/
lists 3 stations on 790 kHz with a "Mighty 790" slogan: KURM AR, KGHL
MT and KFGO ND. 73 Alan`` Pennington, UK, and: ``KURM is silent acc.
to FCC. 73, Mauno`` Ritola, Finland. And also as in NRC AM Log as of
last August (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1290, March 28 at 0644-0647 UT, Mexmx and numerous
liners/IDs as ``La Máxima ... más música`` something ``punto uno FM``,
by SHVA = super-hype voice actor. Google search first on slogan and
1290 gets numerous hits for ``La Maxxima 103.1 FM`` in Siloam
Springs AR, i.e. KUOA, U1 5000/31, address in Springdale, with 103.1
of course a mere translator, K276CO, per NRC AM Log, and in
Fayetteville per Radio-locator.com with 1290 coverage maps showing it
right on the OK border east of Tulsa, apparently a smidgin on the AR
side. And address in Rogers AR. Unusual to hear it, so bet it`s on day
power in the nightmiddle.  It`s 300 km = 186 stmi from Enid. Note
recently Jan 27 at 0740 I had an open carrier on 1290. I don`t find
any definite log by me of KUOA in the past 20 years. As of the 2020
census, S.S. population was 17,287, and as of 2023, that town had an
increasing Hispanic population of 4,117, or 23.8% (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. In high storm + line noise level, many `regular` ND
beacons are not audible, but JBA carriers, March 28 at 0613 UT,
likely: 245 kHz, FS Sioux FallS SD; 267 kHz, HET HenryEtTa OK; 392
kHz, FMZ, FairMont NE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1061, March 28 at 0642 UT, JBA carrier hetting
whatever`s left on 1060 without New Orleans. Not a 9/kHz plan
frequency, which would be 1062. Suspect Cuba, like the 1-kHz-off 1141
often heard but not right now. WRTH shows one Cuban on 1060, 25 kW
CMGW, Radio 26, Jovellanos, Matanzas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)      

UNIDENTIFIED. 1650 kHz, March 28 at 0608 UT, still hearing the tone,
not het, believed to come from KSVE El Paso, as I finally compared it
to my keyboard = D# above C-middle, or 311 Hz per:
https://homes.luddy.indiana.edu/donbyrd/Teach/MusicalPitchesTable.htm
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9170-9217 approx., March 28 at 0620, multi-carrier
multi-tones beating over this wide 47 Hz span, peaking S9 circa 9183,
as logged recently in this same area. What is it? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 11860, 11930, 13820, March 27 at 1955, R. Martí still
absent from Greenville SW, altho reportedly has resumed on MW 1180
from FlaKeys (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2288)

** GUAM. 11590, Thu Mar 27 at 1443, TWR IS, announcement. Aoki shows
KTWR at 1415-1445 in Uyghur on Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu only, followed by
Kazakh daily from 1445. Haven`t the Uighurs got enough problems with
cultural genocide by the ChiCom, without being pestered to become
Christians as well? Would the ChiCom have a preference? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11540, March 27 at 1442, choral martial music,
S7/S9, must be Turkish jammer; only that and Dengê Gel via ARMENIA are
listed anywhen on 11540 by EiBi. Aoki has Turkey only, but many
adjacent Dengê Gel listings allegedly via Uzbekistan: an age-old
conundrum. No sign of a second signal now, so DG may well be somewhere
else.

Has there been any reduxion in DG broadcasting and/or jamming as a
result of this, as reported by DW?: ``Mar 1, 2025  #pkk
#abdullahöcalan --- Kurdish PKK militants have declared a ceasefire
with Turkey two days after their jailed leader asked them to lay down
their arms. Abdullah Öcalan urged fellow members of his outlawed
Kurdistan Workers' Party to disarm and disband. The group, which has
fought for autonomy since the 1980s, is considered a terrorist
organization in the EU, US and Turkey. Turkish President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan welcomed Öcalan's overture, but warned against what he
called provocations aiming to disrupt peace efforts`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2288)

** MADAGASCAR. 17700, Thu March 27 at 1412, YL talk, VP S5/S7 direct
but the OSOB, off by 1437 recheck. Aoki shows TWR Asia via Talata.
Lang depends on DOW; on day 5 = Thu at 1400-1430* it`s Hindi. In
depressed propagation, K=4.67 at 1500, after G2 geomagnetic storms,
exercises its low-latitude transequatorial advantage, even tho very
offbeam thisaway, 250 kW at 45 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2287 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday March 27 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9+10 into Maryland SDR.

** U S A. 790 kHz, March 27 at 0700 UT, ``Mighty 790, KSVN`` sounded
like, but no such call listed. In NRC AM Log, the only Mighty on 790
is KGHL Billings MT, U1 5000/1800. CBS news followed and that also
fits for KGHL. Any station ending in -90 is tempted to brand itself
rhymingly as ``mighty`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1420 kHz, March 27 at 0641 UT, ``La Caliente, 106.3 FM y
1420 AM`` = that leads in NRC AM Log to KBHS Hot Springs
AR, U1 5000/87 - dominating, sounds like
more than 87 watts. WTFDA FMDB has one frequency match for same
station, but not so hot, only ``La Zeta``. 106.3 is of course a mere
translator exalted to primacy, K292HG (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12159-12209, March 27 at 1446, huge multi-carrier,
multi-tones beating over this wide 50 kHz range, tapering off at the
edges, peaking circa 12193 at S9+25. 12160 WWCR not on yet, but after
1500 could be mutually problematic. What is this? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
