Glenn Hauser logs March 28-29-30-31, 2016


** ALBANIA. 9855, March 28 at 2358, R. Tirana IS and off, no QRM at end of Albanian hour to N America. Afterwards, a JBA carrier, presumably IBB Kuwait and/or Chicom jamming scheduled for following hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BANGLADESH. 15505, March 30 at 1359:30 Bangladesh Betar IS is very poorly audible, and 5+1 mis-timesignal ends at 1400:25.5. 

15505, also March 31 at 1359 one play of 10-note IS is VP, before mis-timesignal ending at 1400:27 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BELARUS. {not a log, yet, but in case you haven`t heard ---} 11730, R. Belarus, is allegedly having its SW, MW and LW transmitters closed down permanently at local midnight, 2100 UT March 31. I never have any luck hearing this but will try one last time. On Thursdays, 2000-2020 in Spanish, 2020- in English normally until 2200, and // 11930 which no way is going to make it past Cuban jamming and Radio Martí (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1819, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHAD [and non]. 6165, March 29 at 0548, can still detect another slightly offset carrier under RHC, presumed RNT. Also March 30 at 0546, fast SAH from understation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 7405, March 30 at 0550, wall of noise jamming against nothing, since R. Martí no longer uses this frequency overnight. It is on 7365, which is atop lite pulse jamming, normally reserved for standby situations. 

11930, March 30 at 0557, mixed in with the wall-of-noise jamming against nothing are those irregular beeps again, this time only two at a time, the first one longer, i.e. like N in Morse code. Then some are strung together like C in Morse. With BFO, pitches change as they are slightly displaced away from 11930.00. 11930, March 31 at 0642, I am again hearing some N`s amid noise.

13605, March 31 at 1423 RM VG with no jamming, wall-of-noise still stuck on ex-frequency 13820; other RM frequency 11930, however, is totally buried in jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 17630, March 31 at 1407, CRI English discussing how to prevent suicides in Beijing subways, S9 with deep fades, so is it Urumqi or Bamako, MALI? Yes, once again this A-season, both are registered at 14-15 on 17630, but I`m sure I`m getting Urumqi, while other list-loggers will imagine Mali. At 12-14 it`s only Urumqi, and at 15-16 it`s only Bamako (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GOA. 9810, March 30 at 1241, OK carrier but modulation is a big motorboating sound, off at 1243. Not bleed from 9805, no jamming yet against Martí. I bet it`s the defective transmiter in GOA: yes, HFCC shows 250 kW, 120 degrees from Panaji at 1100-1245 in Tamil and Telugu (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [and non]. 11705, March 29 at 1406, NHK World Radio Japan, good at S9+10. A-16 English schedule shows several changes; from HFCC:
0500, 5975 UK, 11970 France 
1100, 11695 Singapore [new time] (+Fri only token DRM 9765 UK)
1200 broadcast is GONE!
1400, 11705 Palau, 15735 Uzbekistan
1800, 9755 South Africa
1930, 9645 Japan, 9710 Vatican [NEW time]

11705, again March 31 at 1418, S9-S6, about transmitting Korean culture to Japan; JBA carrier on 15735 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1819, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5935, March 31 at 1355, very poor signal, talk maybe in English, as expected on Thursday from Sea Breeze/Shiokaze, JAPAN, on new frequency ex-7400 as first reported by Ron Howard. Still a carrier at 1401, as there may be some extended broadcasts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11600, March 30 at 1346, Denge Kurdistanye with Kurdish talk, 1350 some music plus hum, 1359 music, 1400 back to talk; 1416 still talking with hum, and S9 to S9+10, compared to S8-S9 at tune-in; still much weaker than 11860, YEMEN [non], S9+20/30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1819, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR. 9535, March 28 at 2335, usual poor signal from RHC, but maybe there is some CCI under it, the otherwise yet unconfirmed Chinese hour of MWV, 55 degrees to E Asia.

9600, March 28 at 2359, JBA carrier, cuts off and on and off and on, apparently stays from 0001.4 March 29, 0003 very poor talk audible. Presumably MWV English hour to central Africa in middle of their night, but much weaker than their other broadcasts I am monitoring. Also March 30 at 0037, JBA carrier and traces of talk.

David Kernick, UK, heard it much better March 31. It seems this hour identifies quite differently from the others in English as ``African Pathways Radio`` -- ``Madagascar World Voice was observed signing-on at 0000 UT on 31 March 2016 on 9600 kHz, as follows: "From the beautiful region of the Indian Ocean, this is Your New Life Station [I take that capitalisation from references on the KNLS website "What's Going On?" page] This transmission starts in one minute". After promised minute of the 'Chariots of Fire' IS (as used by KNLS) came their signature tune and introductory announcement: "From the top of the world and from the beautiful region of the Indian Ocean, this is Your New Life Station, broadcasting over the air and online". It seems that World Christian Broadcasting's new station identification varies according to language and target area``.

17640, March 29 at 1800, sufficient signal in English, excited host about first week on air, thankfully brief vuvuzela blast from African Pathways Radio.

17640, March 30 at 1857, sign-off announcement mentions only this 18 on 17640 and 04 broadcast on 9480, which we have found to be duplicates, as the other English broadcasts are not from ``African Pathways``; brief OC and off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non non]. 17765, March 29 at 1917, Brother Scare is S9+40 here, and also on 17815 only S9+10, and one second ahead of 17765, so two different sites? No, HFCC A-16 shows both as WHRI. They replace 17530 and 17610 in B-15. Full span registered to these, not necessarily all in use: 17815 at 19-21, 250 kW at 85 degrees; 17765 at 18-22, 250 kW at 315 degrees. Meanwhile, BS also on 17790 WRMI, S9+10 but very undermodulated. At 2022 recheck, 17815 is off, 17765 still on and 17790 also off, early (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA: WRMI

** SPAIN. 17855, March 30 at 1900, REE is VG at S9+30, timesignal and discuss in Spanish English league football (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TIBET [non]. 15553, March 31 at 1358, JBA carrier, smax of yet another frequency change of Voice of Tibet via TAJIKISTAN, and/or ChiCom jamming. I bet Ivo has it in his latest update – yes, as of March 31:
1345-1400 on 15553 DB  100 kW / 131 deg to CeAs Tibetan
1400-1415 on 15553 DB  100 kW / 131 deg to CeAs Tibetan
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 15450.053, March 30 at 1245, very poor signal with trace of modulation, i.e. VOT on A-16 frequency allegedly in English, and yes, like ex-12035+ an hour later, this one is also off-frequency high. By 1309 has improved to S1 during music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K [non]. 9650, March 29 at 0150, 0200, 0255 and 0320 chex, NO signal from BBCWS in English, as heard the night before, so evidently it was a mistake (by SENTECH? Or a test, from Woofferton?). 

But it had happened before, as reported by Mark Taylor, WI in the NASWA Flashsheet: ``9650, UNKNOWN. BBC, 0157, 3/21/16. Series of promos for BBC, Time pips, teaser for "Forum" program, news; QRM from likely Turkey in SS under. Fair`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1819, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17530, March 31 at 1408, S9+20 steady open carrier, no doubt Greenville testing before 1700-1830 broadcast in English as now scheduled, so now we do have a chance at excellent VOA reception off the back at midday. 17530 had been occupied by WHRIBS in B-season. Besides 1700-1830 via GB, VOA is also using 17530 from other sites at 1300-1700, 1830-1930, and again GB in French at 1930-2030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 15630, Tue March 29 at 1922, African language good signal until 1930* ``VOA, Washington`` ID and off. HFCC shows this is Tigrigna, 300 kW at 126 degrees from Woofferton UK, M-F at 1900-1930, following daily 1800-1900 Amharic, and M-F 1730-1800 Oromo. Why can`t they say ``VOA, Woofferton``?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1818 monitoring: confirmed Mon March 28 at 2335 on WBCQ 9330-CUSB, slightly on the lo side. Also confirmed Tue March 29 from 2329:43 on 9329.95-CUSB. This almost daily transmission is habitually starting a bit before 2330 now. (By 0015 recheck during Blalock the Blaster, has drifted up to 9329.985.)

Also confirmed Wed March 30 from 1315:32 on WRMI 9955, sufficient, no jamming. A couple seconds of music intervened after the gh ID at 1315:00. Also confirmed Wed March 30 on WBCQ webcast, between ID and start of WOR at 2100, a bit of noise and sounds like the words ``I`ve yet``. Also on 7489.91 at 2128 check, but very poor now in noise level. (At 2329 recheck during `The Next Chapter`, drifted to 7489.83.) WOR also confirmed Wed March 30 after 2330 on 9330.00-CUSB.

Tim Gaynor`s low power station in NSW, Unique Radio on 3210, has added WORLD OF RADIO, four airings each weekend as included below.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, March 29 at 0550, WRMI again with eclectic music concert this hour instead of BS, S9+10; 0553 Hawai`ian song.

11530, March 31 at 0645, BS is very poor but matchable to very strong 7570, and about equal to weak 11580, so for A-16, WRMI has resumed 11530 after experimenting with it a couple weeks ago, replacing 11920? Yes, per sked grid dated March 27, 11530 is #4 at 22-12 UT including 00-01 Taiwan in Spanish, 01-02 Fámily Radio in Spanish; elsewhen nothing but BS and paired at 12-22 UT with day frequency 17790, both at 160 degrees (the other Taiwán relay hour is 03-04 on 5985).

9955 & 11580, once again March 31 at 1416, both with music instead of BS (who is on 11565, etc., etc., etc.) and not the same music: 9955 in Mideastern at the moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7489.87-AM, UT Wed March 30 at 0016, on WBCQ, TimTron is hosting a show explaining how frustrating grinding crystals can be, which he has had to do for new frequency 5130 ex-5110 in ``transmitter-2``. Apparently there are two of those, or two exciters, BC-610 and FT-243. As I have wondered, why not use frequency synthesizers? He says, KISS, xtals require one tube or transistor, rather than a rack or even a room of equipment. 

He also hopes to get 3250 up soon, like in two weeks. He was working on it Saturday, but the Q was too low, leading to risk of harmonic radiation; fixing that. Had high voltage flashover problems, would not work, so he quit for the time being. 

Trying to do call-in, but phone wouldn`t work at first since it was still forwarding to Allan in Florida. Unclear whether this was really live or a playback but scheduled for UT Wed 00-01 is an Allan Weiner Worldwide repeat. 0100 cut abruptly to Brother Scare, so probably a playback (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9275, March 29 at 1920, no signal from WMLK, while neighbor 9265 WINB is S8. Seems reactivated WMLK is appearing less and less; why bother at all with sesquidecade-old stuff? Because that doesn`t stop lots of other gospel huxters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15555-USB, March 29 at 1931, usual sole gospel huxter John Hill, defunct, on WJHR. Haven`t noticed it for some time, unsure whether irregular operation or skip has been too long beyond Milton FL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN. 7250 // 6070 // 3975, March 30 at 0548, Latinish mass from Vatican Radio now audible on all three, azimuths respectively 26, 326, 330, continuing to collide unnecessarily with CFRX 6070 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4766.0, re the unID carrier I have logged several times, we can forget about it as a broadcaster. Ron Howard reports:

``4766.0, strong open carrier at 1144 on March 28. Jim Young (Calif.) informed me today "Have been listening to this O/C for hours this AM while working. Ever-so-often, I hear the tell-tale RTTY come on --- very infrequently! Still at 1436." Thanks to Jim for solving the mystery! Afraid I did not have the patience to listen to this OC for hours (Ron Howard, Asilomar State Beach, CA, Etón E1, antenna: 100' long wire, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST)``

Walt Salmaniw, BC, adds on March 29: ``More on the mystery 4766. I'm hearing it for hours after LSR. It seems identical to the signal on 3287. I now think it's from this side of the Pacific. 100% not India. Way too strong. That's it from Masset! 73, Walt`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1819, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11460-USB, March 30 at 1312, presumed Indonesian QSO pirate with some vocal music off and on, 1313 sounds like country song in English. 1317 another song fragment, 1324 C&W still, and 1343. Meanwhile others less musical are at neat 5-kHz intervals as if these channels are well-planned: 11405, 11410, 11425, 11440, 11450. And everyone is on-frequency making for easy tuning at 1- or 5-kHz steps.

More of this on March 31 at 1410: 11425 stands out, with pileups of competing vocal noises, some verging on singing past 1414, 1425. Others active on 11405, 11410, 11415, 11440, 11450, 11455, 11465-music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs March 27-28, 2016


** ALGERIA [non]. 12060, March 27 at 2025, Qur`an at poor S6, i.e. RTA via FRANCE now at 19-21 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AUSTRALIA. After getting Japan on 774 & 747, I should see how 120m is doing. 2325, March 28 at 1219, S7 music, from VL8T, Tennant Creek NT; tuning up to 2485, March 28 at 1220: wow, S9+10 with song, best I`ve heard this in a long time, and slightly stronger than // 4835 VL8A Alice Springs. DJ outro about ``album for a Monday night`, Trisha Yearwood and Coco Taylor. Then interview with a singer; 1223 mentions Alice Springs, plays some blues; by 1234, 2485 is weakening compared to 4835 with weather, 1235 promo for ABC Alice Springs which is apparently the program source for all of them. Only 4835 is listenable every morning, nothing special DX-wise (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** BRAZIL [and non]. 6135.1, March 28 at 0341, approx. center of motorboating noise. Suspect it`s the R. Aparecida transmitter out of whack as there is no carrier on its usual 6135.2, and this mess is closer to that than to 6134.8, haunt of RSC Bolivia, likely off by now anyway. (HFCC A-16 reminds us that Al-Hiswah, Yemen used to sign on 6135 at 0300, but that`s been gone for a long time.) Furthermore, the bonker is back on the lo side, itself centred approx. 6131.6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. 15590, March 28 at 1329+1330, CNR1 strong but with heavy flutter and CCI from jamming target IBB in Mandarin via THAILAND during this hour. // CNR1 jammer on 7385 at 1334 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. 7325-, March 28 at 1253, JBA carrier slightly on the lo side, no doubt Wantok Radio Light, as CRI Japanese has just cut 7325.0 off the air early at 1253*, widening the window for Wantok Radio Light, PNG before CRI resumes at *1258:47; 1300 IS, IDs in Chinese and Japanese. During this break, site has shifted from Jinhua to Xi`an, and weakened here. Makes no sense to cut off programming in progress earlier than natural break circa 1257; Ron Howard first noted this a few days ago, but it may not last. Suspect misprogrammed automation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, March 28 at 0353, RHC in Spanish with big hum when listening on AM, wobbling carrier with BFO. Wiggle that patchcord? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. The DentroCuban Jamming Command is all confused about when and where to hit Radio Martí: At 1247 UT March 28, 5980 has wall of noise but Martí isn`t there. 6030 has neither but a weak algo, dare I hope CFVP or more likely Asian. 7405 has RM good over jamming; 9805 RM is very good with no jamming, baseball news; 11930 is already jammed with no Martí (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 4500, March 28 at 1231, mixture of talk and music in presumed Mongolian, unique frequency of PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, but mixed with ute hash. I quickly find the other four language services also audible to varying degrees: 4850 is S9 with weak modulation; 4980 and 5060 are S7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. 9560, March 28 at 0325, S9+25 in Swahili. It`s NHK via MADAGASCAR at 0315-0400, ex-7 MHz band. See also UGANDA [non]! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 9400, March 28 at 1301, nothing but Chinese from FEBC, so I know Denge Kurdistanye must have ascended to usual A-season frequency 11600. 

11600, March 28 at 1306, there it is, S7 with Qur`an. Some local hash can be evaded by USB tuning; fades some at 1316, but still there at 1336; about S8 at 1340 music; better S9 at 1400 during YL news in presumed Kurdish. Now the question is, what sites? In recent past has used PRIDNESTROVYE, France, Bulgaria. 

HFCC A-16 lists only KCH = Grigoriopol`, Pridnestrovye/Moldova at 03-21, 300 kW, 116 degrees. But March 27 in the 13-17 UT period, Ivo Ivanov in Sofia could tell it was really BULGARIA, as he was getting the second harmonic too on 23200. He adds that at 17-19 it`s via France, with 3 minutes of dead air at some point. He also files this under IRAN [non], even tho it`s for TURKEY, the dreaded PKK terrorists there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR. 17640, March 27 at 1800, fanfare, ``Good day, and welcome to our first broadcast …`` soon punxuated by a vuvuzela blast, mentioning South Africa, and into Proverbs citation. Sounds like the same show I heard at 0400 on 9480. This is S9+10 or 45433, deep fades impeding copy; 1827 gospel choir from Africa singing ``Hosanna``. Still no ID heard as ``Madagascar World Voice``. I`m checking out the remainder of the scheduled broadcasts on the First Day:

13710, March 27 at 2023, MWV in Arabic, fair at S7.

11615, March 27 at 2150, MWV in Chinese, S9+10, 2151 sounds like a love song in English, but no doubt Jesus the object of affexion.

11770, March 27 at 2200, MWV Arabic at S9+10; but simultaneous 9455 in Chinese is a JBA carrier at very different azimuth.

9535, March 27 at 2330, this hour is supposed to be Chinese, but if on, is totally blocked by Habana.

9600, March 28 at 0010, frequency is clear but *no* signal for English allegedly to Central Africa in the middle of their night. The last two come from a different `updated` version of the schedule via Ivo Ivanov, than I quoted previously:

``Updated A-16 of Madagascar World Voice
0000-0100 on  9600 MWV 100 kW / 040 deg to CeAf English
0100-0200 on  9665 MWV 100 kW / 040 deg to SoAs English
0200-0300 on  6190 MWV 100 kW / 250 deg to SoAm Spanish
0300-0400 on  6150 MWV 100 kW / 265 deg to SoAm Spanish
0400-0500 on  9480 MWV 100 kW / 295 deg to CeAf English
1800-1900 on  9570 MWV 100 kW / 355 deg to EaEu Russian
1800-1900 on 17640 MWV 100 kW / 310 deg to WeAf English
1900-2000 on 11945 MWV 100 kW / 355 deg to N/ME Arabic
2000-2100 on 13710 MWV 100 kW / 340 deg to EaAf Arabic
2100-2200 on 11615 MWV 100 kW / 325 deg to WeEu Chinese
2200-2300 on  9455 MWV 100 kW / 055 deg to EaAs Chinese
2200-2300 on 11770 MWV 100 kW / 325 deg to NoAf Arabic
2300-2400 on  9535 MWV 100 kW / 055 deg to EaAs Chinese``

Despite the gaps, MWV has already proven as we expected that it will be easily heard off-target in North America, just like the numerous MGLOB relays from the other Madagascar site. (And I continue to wonder why WCB never had any interest in using MGLOB during the protracted delays in getting its own station going?) With two exceptions (9665, 9535), the chosen frequencies have proven to be free of interference. Further chex:

6150, March 28 at 0312, MWV Spanish as ``La Voz Alegre`` is S9+25.

9480, March 28 at 0400, NO signal! I keep listening and finally cuts on at *0403.5, S9+10 joining program in progress, a narrative about a trip; 0409, pro-Jesus propaganda, and the English hour is attributed to African Pathways, http://www.africanpathways.org with postal address in Franklin TN (just like KNLS Alaska); 0411 an Afro-Caribbean song nostalgic to the DJ.

17640, March 28 at 1758 I`m standing by for another try for this English broadcast. *1759:17 carrier on, 1800:03 fanfare and sign-on ONLY as ``African Pathways Radio``, vuvuzela blast, co-hosts have African and American accents; today`s theme ``Life`s Journey``. The Pathway being: ``to immortality`` (? Evidence, please?). NO mention of Madagascar World Voice, even tho their transmitter building is labeled MWV as are its HFCC registrations. Anyhow, good signal if one cared to spend an hour with this, some deep fading. 

With Spanish IDing as ``La Voz Alegre``, evidently each language service has a different name, so what are they calling themselves, exactly (and in translation), in Arabic, Chinese and Russian? Yes, the world`s newest shortwave station, but we lament that some religious groups still have virtually no presence on SW, e.g. animists of which there must be millions (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** MEXICO. 660, March 28 at 1203 UT, Mexican NA, 1204 YL ID for Radio Ciudadana; KSKY Dallas nulled as much as possible, but México DF is only about 30 degrees further clockwise, as this is the IMER station XEDTL, 50/1 kW (remember when 660 was commercial XERPM?), rather than Aguascalientes, Monterrey or Ciudad Delicias which I hear more often on 660. IRCA Mexican Log says XEDTL format is world music, the name meaning female citizen, but then goes into historical talk about the Castillo de Chapultepec and Santiago Hernández. Most of México including DF will not go on DST until next Sunday, whence the sign-on should shift to *1100 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7610-, March 28 at 0331, hard rock music, very poor S4. Like heard March 27 at 0141: Could it be Radio Latino, known frequency at other dayparts for Italian pirate? NO, here`s the answer, tnx to Rob Ross in Ontario, ODXA yg, who also heard it and got a lengthy reply saying it`s from the USA:

Red Beacon Radio: ``I typically leave the transmitter on during the weekends but at low power consisting of 15 watts. Yesterday`s transmission was also at 15 watts with the exception around 2300 UT when I was operating at 200 watts for about an hour or so to see how well the signal would propagate during "long" conditions. I am fairly new on the air but not new to the scene as I have been a pirate for more than 30 years focused mainly on the purchase, design and construction of the gear more than being a DJ. The programming content is by remote from an anonymous DJ through "myradiostream.com" who has been playing a various mix of music but has not gone on the air yet and spoken live. . .``

Rob had heard it March 27 at 1149-1220, with no announcements, so it`s unclear how he identified and e-mailed it. O, maybe from all these reports of March 26 and 27:
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. UNIDENTIFIED. 6919.9-AM, March 28 at 0337, only thing on the pirate band is this S5 very poor carrier with song. Asking for trouble, cozying up to 6915 WRMIBS, of all things, but yet that`s weak enough here not to QRM it. Nothing on 6925, so maybe one of those stations slid down (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 7325-, March 28 at 1253, JBA carrier slightly on the lo side, no doubt Wantok Radio Light, as CRI Japanese has just cut off the air early at 1253*, widening the window for WRL before CRI resumes at *1258:47 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See CHINA

** SUDAN [non?]. 7204.0, March 28 at 0401, fair signal is just barely modulated, Arabic? Omdurman was thought to have shifted here, but now I also detect a JBA carrier on 7205 so something else may be going on. Sudan is known for running carriers 1 kHz away from R. Dabanga to jam it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TIBET [non]. 11513, March 28 at 1305, very poor signal, presumably V. of Tibet via TAJIKISTAN on characteristic split channel. Aoki as of March 18 had it on this frequency but not during this segment.

15562, March 28 at 1327, JBA carrier, presumed V. of Tibet via TAJIKISTAN on latest frequency jumble, unlisted yet but has been on 15563 previously. Algo on 15560 maybe CNR1 jammer (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** TURKEY. 9515, March 28 at 0319, VOT confirmed on usual A-season frequency, ex-9650 [now with BBC! See UK], and an hour earlier, to North America. Is S9+20 with folk tale in English; but at 0326 recheck I am astounded to hear the ``Frage des Monats`` in GERMAN, along with same jingle for that in all language services; reply to deutsch@trt.net.tr to possibly win a nice little gift (English word, not German!). I wonder if somebody played the wrong cart/file during the English broadcast, or if the whole hour had somehow switched to German. 0328 followed by music break and I never get back to hear whether further talk would be in English or German.

15450+, March 28 at 1325, tune in just in time for last iteration of VOT IS following 1230 English, fair signal, off at 1326* before I can measure how far off to the hi side it is, slightly. Anyhow, seems promising for audibility in North America beyond target Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** UGANDA [non]. 5915, UT Monday March 28 at 0317, JBA carrier only detectable in huge splash from new A-16 5910 NHK relay via FRANCE (and worse than from 5920 WHRI); as Ron Howard concluded the night before, this explains why Lead Radio Africa via SOUTH AFRICA was scheduled to shift from 5910 to 5915 for its 0300-0400 UT Mon/Tue/Fri broadcast --- despite 5915 being the forever-frequency of ZNBC Zambia, its last remaining SW outlet, obvious to us but info withheld from HFCC. As of March 28, HFCC still shows Sentech on 5915 at 03-04, days 2/3/5.

Now there`s no way to tell which one I am detecting, or both. The rest of this hour from NHK in Japanese seems to be a besuboro gemu, with continuous crowd noise and even band music in background, as noted at 0345 with some ``straik`` called. The splash relents after 0400 with relatively calm newscast, but that`s too late for the 5915 station(s) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K [non?]. 9650, March 28 at 0313, BBCWS in English, S9+20. Unlisted frequency I am checking following this inquiry:

``Glenn, I have been scanning around for new A16 signals this evening. I have been hearing a good BBC signal in English this evening UT Monday 3/28 since before 0200 until now past 0225 on 9650. I don't see anything anywhere listed for this. Any idea where it is coming from? Ryan Ellegood, Union City, TN`` 

Yes, it does not even appear in the HFCC data as of March 28:

I find it`s // but slightly echoing with 9440 at about same S9+20 level. That one is Oman at 03-04 only; I was expecting Ascension for both, which could still be the case for 9650, continuing past 0400 after 9440 is off. I suppose it will show up eventually in the schedules. Hmm, keep in mind too that 9650 is the daytime frequency for Radio Sonder Grense at 07-17 UT; maybe a SENTECH mixup (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1818 monitoring: confirmed Sunday March 27 at 2330 on WBCQ, 9329.87-CUSB. Also confirmed UT Monday March 28 from 0301 on Area 51 webcast, and soon heard also on WBCQ 5129.7-AM; also confirmed after 0330 on WRMI 9955, VG S9+25 this time. Next:

** U S A. 9955, UT Monday March 28 at 0321 checking WRMI prior to WOR at 0330, I am surprised to hear a jazz song in English ending with ``puta madre, oh shit``, S9+5. Is this really Radio Prague relay in English as scheduled, or some new fill music? Whew.

9955, March 28 at 0541, WRMI with Arab, then Turkish? song, eclectic music concert instead of BS after 0500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5810, March 28 at 0347, WEWN Spanish talking about Madre Angélica, including a clip of her in English, ``we have no money of our own`` voiced-over to Spanish. English on 11520 is too weak to copy. Checking now since news broke March 27 that Rita Rizzo had died on Easter Sunday, age 92, after having been an invalid for a sesquidecade, following strokes and unable to speak. Some press refers to her as ``founder`` of EWTN --- NO! She was the ``foundress``, tho possibly celibate, always wanted to assert her gender identity. Of course, WEWN talks about her incessantly anyway; burial mass will be 1600 UT Friday April 1. And they will keep playing tapes of her ad infinitum like other SW legacy stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3185, March 28 at 0350-0401+, S9+45 open carrier/deadair instead of BS on WWRB. Next check at 1218, again, or I daresay, still OC/DA! Next2 check at 1225, 3185 is off, and 9370 is on now with Scourby intoning, into HyStairia. Suspect Dave was off on a flight mission, but when he or someone implemented the frequency change, discovered that modulation needed to be re-added. That`s one-up on some other SW stations which make frequency changes and yet keep their air dead (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. RF 14, March 28 at 1435 UT, KERA Dallas is in with call-letter bugs in lower right of three subchannels: 13-1 KERA-HD, 13-2, WORLD, 13-3 CREATE. Zenith STB mixes this in with OETA Oklahoma on RF 13 but also virtual 13, which always breaks up. While it lasts, a few minutes, KERA is solid. 13-3 is // OETA 13-3 also with CREATE. KERA has no 13-4 unlike OETA with KIDS. 

Matches tropo maps well in minor opening from N Texas to here to Tulsa market, which is also decoding on several channels. DX QRM is blocking RF 23 KSBI OKC, and even causing breakup of our *only* local Enid TV transmitter, 3ABN`s K17JN-D; source of that no doubt being KDOR TBN megawatt in Bartlesville OK. RF 29 KTUZ is also failing to decode (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VIETNAM [non]. 6175, March 28 at 0339, VOV in English, usual VG signal, tnx to still being via WHRI at 0330, unlike the earlier 0100 & 0230 to North America, which have switched to 12005 via UK for A-15. And the 6175 WHRI transmitter is squealing! Need to replace some modulation modules (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 774, March 28 at 1152 and 1157-1202 UT, JBA carrier looping NW/SE and a weaker one on 747, 99% sure to be the NHK JAPAN superpowers, which are the prime trans-Pacific MW DX beacons here. Tnx to neighbor Richard N Allen near Perry OK, who has been getting these the past few mornings, reminding us that they are back in season. I find no others in 9-kHz steps from 531 up to 1053 kHz, nor on 1548, where Australia recently made it to Michigan around same time. QRM from domestic stations can be intense, especially KRMG 740 Tulsa; and  KSPI 780 Stillwater OK which started modulating at 1200 UT. Enid sunrise today: 1223 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4766.0, March 28 at 1229 check, mystery open carrier still here averaging about S8 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5910, March 28 at 1237, as I tune by, some SSB says ``zero degrees`` and into digital burst, but it`s 0.5 kHz above or below, and doesn`t come back by 1245 as I wanted to determine which. Probably US military tho would not expect MARS to invade the broadcast band like this (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
