** BANGLADESH. 15505, barely audible March 7 from before 1359, BB IS,
mistimesignal ending at 1359:19, opening Urdu (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9665v, March 7 at 0622, tho defunct, David Miranda is
heard wailing just like in the good ole days, but a minute later some non-wailer
is talking, so apparently just a tribute clip. Voz Missionária, weak signal with
usual het, presumably North Korea. Other 31m ZYs also audible with poor signals:
9819v, R Nove de Julho; 9645v, R. Bandeirantes (also hetting algo); 9630v, R.
Aparecida; 9587v, SRDA São Paulo; but no 9565 SRDA Curitiba detected vs remnant
Cuban jamming. At 0624, 9587v also has a bit o` Miranda, but not // 9665v (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11675 approx., March 7 at
0625, now the spurs out of 11780.1 RNA/RNB are much stronger than usual, such
that a third-order one audiblizes cracklingly way out here, 105 kHz = 3 x 35 kHz
below. This means that second-order 11710 is above `normal` level, and 11745 is
unbearable, like 11815. However, also as usual, matches on the hi side of the
fundamental are lesser: barely detectable on 11850 and not on 11885 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 15940, March 7 at 1522, CNR1
jammer, poor
14980, March 7 at 1528, CNR1 jammer, fair; none in the 12s,
13s, 16s, 17s, 18s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA.
15370, March 7 at 1355, QSY from 9850 has already been made by RHC, and not out
of whack today.
March 8 begins DST in Cuba, since they must follow what
the Yanquis do, so based on previous summery experience, without any advance
info this time from station, I expect some changes like this:
English on
11760 at 19 instead of 20
English on 11880 to Africa at 23 instead of 22
(yes, one UT hour LATER rather than earlier)
English on 5040 to Carib at 23
instead of 00, which makes it // 11880
Spanish morning at 11-15 instead of
12-16 (but 11760 stays on midday)
Spanish afternoon at 21-23 instead of
22-24, including to Europe
Spanish evening until 05 instead of 06 on most
frequencies

** INDIA [and
non]. 9830, March 7 at 1354, RTTY QRM dominates, but can hear some programming
under, so AIR has managed to modulate today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** IRAN. 11675, March 7 at 1350, IRIB manages only an open
carrier with hum, while // Urdu also via Kamalabad, 11730 is OK (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, March 7 at 0645, RNZN via
RNZI, not dumping off the air early tonight, with `Saturday Night Nostalgia`
request show, VG signal as usual --- great music variety, as I doze off, rouse
by 0735 during ``I Still Haven`t Found What I`m Looking For`` by The
Temptations. 0739 outro as a request by a couple in Washington DC. Were they
listening on SW? Can`t seem to find this song audio online by Temptations, just
U2, Cher, etc. Show page
with
contact info, pre-planned playlist not including late requests like this one
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 15120-, March 7 at
0629, good signal from VON, and sufficient modulation! Slightly on the lo side
as usual compared to 1120.0 KMOX on the FRG-7. Playing songs, sounding like
French, 0634 segué. It`s the second SSOB rivaling 15240 Australia, and not much
else on 19m. Supposed to be programming in English at +05-07 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 17895, Sat March 7 at 1525, Hyper
Heather starting an interview on `Music Time in Africa` from VOA, surprisingly
good signal while 15580 is very poor. 17895 is 100 kW, 100 degrees from São Tomé
while 15580 is 100 kW, 10 degrees from Botswana. MTIA was also on Friday 21-22
via bigsig Greenville on 15580, same episode? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1100, March 7 at 1347 UT, outdoors show including
``conservation``, hunting, website http://www.bbkoradio.com so it`s Big Billy
Kinder Outdoors. Site is overflowing with advertising; one heard on air is for a
store in Cleburne and Weatherford TX, so it this TX? NW/SE DF, so I figure it`s
really KNZZ Grand Junxion CO, now 50 kW day power from 1330 UT (April: 1245 UT),
as the only 1100 Texan, KDRY in San Antonio is Christian teaching. Website shows
BBKO flagship station is WBAP, distributed by Salem, and yes, KNZZ is on the
roster, 6-8 am MT Saturdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U
S A. 1250, March 7 at 1332 UT and still at 1346 UT, open carrier, dead air
looping NE/SW, surely the SRS and almost-daytime groundwave inhabitant, KYYS
Kansas City KS, automation failed so La Equis isn`t so super when no one at or
with the station is looking after it. The OC allows ESPN in English to be heard
underneath, no doubt KZDC San Antonio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1550, March 7 at 1322 UT, ``Cape Radio 100.3
News-Talk`` thru the CCI including Branson/Springfield a minute later. So this
is KAPE Cape Girardeau MO again, which has a 100.3 translator (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** URUGUAY. 6125, March 7 at 0640, unlike 5.6 hours
earlier, now I detect a JBA carrier, so maybe RNU`s 24-hour reactivation? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
