** ANGOLA. 4950-, March 9 at 0521, very poor carrier, JBM, presumed RNA as
always off-frequency. Must be about to fade around local sunrise, 0511 today at
Luanda per gaisma.com. Latest precise measurement of it was 4949.75 by Carlos
Gonçalves, Portugal, who also said modulation was extremely low, March 1 at 2252
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRIA [and non]. 9630, March
9 at 0527, AWR theme, way atop but with LAH obviously from off-frequency R.
Aparecida, Brasil, AWR off by 0529. It was per HFCC, 300 kW, 190 degrees from
Moosbrunn at 0500-0530 [sic] in Hausa; Adventists vs Catholix! Or more broadly,
Christians vs Christians! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
BANGLADESH. 15505, March 9 at 1355, carrier already on from BB, fair with
flutter, 1358 IS, 1359:17 mistimesignal ends, opening Urdu (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11710 & 11745 & 11815, March 9 at
0530, crackling spurs from 11780.1v RNA/RNB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. Confirming some expected DST shifts, but not all checked
yet:
11760, Sunday March 8 at 1955, RHC with classical guitar, and
interviewing the performer in English, so first English of the day has made
usual DST change to one hour earlier, 1900-2000.
11760, Sunday March 8 at
2259, Arnie Coro propagation feature cuts off and back on the air, and wrapup of
`En Contacto` confirming that its second airing has shifted one UT hour earlier,
2245 on this and several other frequencies; sometimes it would start 5 minutes
earlier so list it as 2240v.
11950 & 11860, March 9 at 1408, RHC
carriers are still on openly, while 11760, 17730 et al., remain
modulated.
Guess what? As of 1557 UT March 9, the schedule at
http://www.radiohc.cu/interesantes/estaticas/frecuencias
still
hasn`t been updated to show DST changes
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. 5980, March 9 at 1206, R. Martí very good with no
jamming audible, bad news about Sen. Menéndez. 5980 runs until 1300 UT even
during Cubano=Americano DST, while 6030 is off after 1200. In A-15, 5980 is
registered for 07-10 only. BTW, there is a proposal to ``privatize`` R. Martí
organizationally, but still pay for it with USG funds, trying to have it both
ways, hoping the Cuban Commies will appreciate such a modification (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CZECHIA [non]. 9955, Monday March 9
at 1210, lively banjo band playing novelty music from 1928y with Czech lyrix;
1215 as ``Sunday music show from Radio Prague``; clear of jamming at first but
by 1217, pulse jamming is ramping up; WRMI relay, of course.
New DST
program grid effective March 8 shows R. Prague times are now:
English:
Mon-Sat 1200-1230, Tue-Sat 0030-0100, Sun-Mon 0300-0330
Spanish: Mon-Fri
1000-1030, Mon-Sat 0200-0230
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDIA [and non]. Correxion: 9380, not typoed 9830! (It so
happens RTTY is almost constantly really on 9830 but not 9380. I wonder if the
RTTY station also made a punch-up typo?) Any publication of the incorrect log
MUST also publish this correxion, sooner or later, ASAP, tnx. Fixed as really
heard:
9380, 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)
** KUWAIT [non]. 21540, March 9 at 1353 check, chalk up
another day with no signal from R. Kuwait, leaving weak 21505 Sau`di the OSOB.
Will Kuwait ever come back, and with it the 15540 English at 18-21? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1560, March 9 at 0558, full
ID including street address in Ciudad Juárez, from R. Vida ID, into NA now with
local midnite in UT - 6 zoneshift to MDT. I.e., per IRCA 2014 and Cantú as of
Feb 19 printout, XEJPV still called ``Indie`` as a 1 kW daytimer! I wonder if
the call has changed too, unheard this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MICRONESIA. 4755+, March 9 at 1200, very poor carrier until
cutoff at approx. 1200:12*, surely PMA The Cross, V6MP in standard
auto-behavior. Latest exact measurement was 4755.58 by Christoph Ratzer,
Austria, A-DX via SWB, Feb 28 at *2000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1763 monitoring: confirmed Sunday March
8 at 2300 on WRMI 11580, sufficient (on non-9955 services, no
timeshift).
Also confirmed UT Monday March 9 from 0302 on Area 51 webcast and
also at 0319 check on 5110-, WBCQ. Next:
Tue 1100 on WRMI 9955
Wed
0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB
Wed 1315 on WRMI
9955
Wed 2100 on WBCQ 7490v

** U S A. 17775, March 9 at 1354, open
carrier already from KVOH, poor-fair; 1400 JBA music. Ray Robinson tells us that
KVOH will no longer be making DST shifts, so new schedule is still: Spanish
14-19 M-F on 17775; English 00-07 Tue-Sat, 01-07 Sun/Mon on 9975.
Program
sked has now been updated as of March 9:
http://kvoh.net/wp-content/uploads/KVOH-Program-Grid-English.pdf
On
the March 8 `Wavescan`, Jeff White said it was until 05, so `Pastor Melissa
Scott` must have been a late addition, daily at 04-07, as if 5935 WWCR and 6090
Anguilla were insufficient for her (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 790, March 9 at 1307 UT, ``Curm Dial-a-Trade`` show
opening, both host and callers, some from Missouri, with deep Ozarkish accents.
Reserves first 10 minutes for new callers. Proudly announces nationwide WATS
number tho 790 coverage is more limited. See http://www.kurm.net/dialatrade.htm
KURM
is in Rogers AR, now on 5 kW ND day power but still in via SRS as it`s too far
by groundwave (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 2660+,
March 9 at 1203 UT, gospel music fading down and up to JBA, no doubt 2 x 1330,
KGLD, Tyler TX. Always slightly on hi side like previous log Feb 3 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
