** BRAZIL. 4894.9, March 3 at 0209, not even a carrier from R. Novo Tempo, gone
again or just very sporadic? Propagation is OK, with the best and most reliable
ZY on 60m next door, 4885.022, S9 R. Clube do Pará (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 6180, March 3 at 0018, RNA/RNB and its
spurblobs are still missing tonight, while 11780 is nominal; JBA signal on 6180
would be CRI East Turkistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
CANADA. 3330-CUSB, March 3 at 0045, CHU is still/again AWOL from here, but OK on
7850-CUSB; inaudible, maybe off too, from 14670-CUSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6060, March 3 at 0019, RHC Spanish is VG at
S9+45 except for the modulation which as usual is rough on this
frequency.
5025, March 3 at 0049, R. Rebelde is off, while 5040 RHC is
S9+45; see UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM.
17880, March 3 at 0004, JBA carrier here is the only signal on 16m besides Cuba
very strong on 17730. HFCC shows it`s KSDA at 00-01, 315 degrees NW in Chinese
(or jammer? Probably the ChiCom do not bother with this) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. YHWH gone? I haven`t run across
Station YHWH lately, nor seen any other reports of it. My last log was Feb 20 at
21+ on 15530-. Last log on 7 MHz band was Feb 17 at 0243 on 7615. I did several
scans of the 7 MHz band and also 5790-5792 tonight March 3 until 0230 and didn`t
find him. Most usual timespan was roughly 02-04++ UT. Is anyone hearing him now,
or has heard him anywhere since the above catches? Searched HF Underground and
found no logs there since Dec 31, 2016 (Glenn Hauser, OK, 0311 UT Mar 3, dxldyg

** U S A. New Program From Tilford Productions Invades the
Airwaves --
Tilford Productions, which brings you From the Isle of Music, is
launching a second program, `Uncle Bill's Melting Pot`, a half-hour musical
variety program on WBCQ 7490 kHz, perhaps best described as indescribable, or as
host Bill Tilford states, "from the ridiculously sublime to the sublimely
ridiculous with genres from A-Z". The inaugural broadcast is Friday, March 3,
0000-0030 World Date/UTC (Thursday, March 2, 7:00-7:30 pm EST in North America)
(Bill Tilford, IL, Feb 28, WORLD OF RADIO 1867, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
So I
make a point of listening UT Fri March 3 at 0000 on 7489.94-AM. Yes, an
enjoyable show, wide variety of music, starting with banjo and a polka. No
Spanish announcements. Good signal so far.
0030 UT Fri is when `Broad
Spectrum Radio` from OKC had been running, but not for a few weeks now and no
update on the BSR website except trying to fundraise to continue in 2017y.
Instead again this week is `Furthermore 29-54` with Ramsey from the other
Monticello, including extended anti-TV clips of Howard Beale from movie Network.
Ramsey also plugs plenty for WBCQ program time sales. Signal has faded way down
by 0055. 29-54 had previously been occupying the open slot half an hour earlier.
After 0100, `Voice of the Report of the Week` with no WWCR QRM. (Tnx to Ramsey
for WOR support this week) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U
S A. 6855, March 3 at 0002 & 0220 chex, no signal from this WRMI. It`s been
rather irregular lately. Hope it`s funxional tomorrow night, for the Winter SWL
Fest special at 0300-0600 UT Saturday March 4. If not, maybe WRMI can spare a
backup transmitter elsewhere (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U
S A. 9930, Thu Mar 2 at 1949 on BST-1 caradio, WTWW-2 is very distorted as Ted
is plugging programming including `Dave Ramsey` weekdays at ``1 pm Eastern`` ---
no, it`s from 1:06 pm Central like right now during a break. Also `Theater Organ
from the Ozarx`, at 1 pm Saturday, which in this case is approximately correct
if Central (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11520, March
3 at 0016, WEWN English is on now, after missing late last night, but poor-fair;
a diocesan from Gallup IDs the program as `Catholic Answers Live` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5935, March 3 at 0021, WWCR is VG
with non-DGS guy ridiculing a UN program concerned with water security --- why
worry? ``Our world is three-fourths water``. (OK, you drink the saltwater, not
the rest of us.) Of course, it`s the `James McCanney anti-Science Hour`. DGS is
still going weakly on 13845. Originally, 13845 & 5935 were from same
transmitter, but now 5935 is #2 and 13845 is #3 paired with 4840 at night. I see
that WWCR has already posted their DST schedule effective March 12 involving
shifted frequency spans, at http://www.wwcr.com/transmitter-sched.html
Including
3215 starting at 0100 instead of 0200, so if WWRB still exists, will have to do
their QSY to 3195 a real hour earlier, lest they collide with WWCR again (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5025.02, March 3 at 0049,
R. Rebelde is off (and so are the 5010 & 5055 leapfrogs with 5040), but
there is a JBA carrier still here definitely on the hi side. Certainly not VL8K
Australia, and the only other known 5025 station is R. Quillabamba, Perú but
until now was slightly on the lo side; so can anyone confirm it`s up to here
now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5995.009,
March 3 at 0226, surprised to find a JBA signal here, or two, as (except for
imaginary Algerian in HFCC at 04-06) MALI is the only one ever listed, but
supposed to be in a 6-hour break from 00 to 06. Either there is a second signal
or there is one which is wobbling. Mali is easy after 0600, except it`s like 1
percent modulated. Maybe I can match the precise frequency then (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
