** ANGUILLA [non]. 6090, March 10 at 0535, Caribbean Beacon is off! Maybe that`s
why Pastor Melissa Scott has suddenly shown up on extended KVOH 9975
transmission, confirmed at 0541 check, except it`s Dead Gene Scott at the
moment, explaining about the significance of definite articles in Greek.
Anguilla day frequency 11775 is also absent at 1339, 1429, 1703 March 10 chex.
Could she be closing down Anguilla? Or is it kaput? But outages keep happening
and then coming back.
PMS after all is a hometown girl in Los Ángeles.
Strangely, the KVOH schedule does not mention The University Network or DGS, but
labels the 04-07 daily block as ``Faith Center, Glendale, California`` and

** BRAZIL. 11815 & 11745, March 10
at 0545, crackling spurs from 11780.1 RNA/RNB; also a trace on the second-order
11710 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 11645-11650,
March 10 at 1345, noisy spurblob of CNR1 audio matching that on 11640 jammer
against RTI, which is apparently out of order. Another CNR1 jammer on 11655
against VOA is not synchronized, but the spurs fill up the intervening space
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Further confirmations
of DST shifts in RHC transmissions:
11880, March 9 at 2305, RHC English
now, ex one hour earlier (not later!), and // much weaker 5040 now in too much
daylight, which is one hour earlier than before. 11880 is for Africa, and it
makes no difference to RHC that this timing puts it at 11 pm, midnight, 1 or 2
am in African timezones. In fact, 22-23 UT was already too late for most of
Africa.
5040, March 10 at 0532 check, RHC in Spanish, not English, and
// 6060 and 6100 are also Spanish, leaving English on 6000 and 6165 only.
Supposedly after 05 during DST season, all five would be in English. Confused
about the clock at RadioCuba? Or deliberate change? We won`t know until RHC gets
around to updating their schedule at
which
is still pretending it`s on winter time scheduling; and further monitoring
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 11930, March
10 at 1342 UT, very strange! RHC Spanish is here mixing with Radio Martí,
instead of noise jamming. Can this be accidental? Main noise jamming probably
emanates from same site as overt RHC. Makes SAH of about 6 Hz, roughly equal
levels. RHC is // 11950 & 11760 but an echo apart from them, i.e. the two
different sites. 11860 RHC is also still on with usual CCI during this hour from
V. of Wilderness, clandestine via Philippines to Korea North. Maybe the regular
noise jamming was unavailable for some reason, so had to emergency substitute
RHC as jammer instead?? Or simply feed mixup. By 1428 recheck, 11930 jamming has
``normalized`` to noise pulsing instead of RHC which on 11760 is still blabbing
about Los 5 Héroes, i.e. ex-cons (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** KUWAIT [non]. 21540, March 10 at 1430 check, another day with
no R. Kuwait, just 21505 Sa`udi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 640, March 9 at 1746 UT, KWPN Moore, IBOC
is off, allowing clear reception of 20 kW 660, KSKY The Metroplex (yes, when on,
and it usually is in the daytime, the Okie IBOC even messes this up 20 kHz
away,); and 660 is so clear that I can now even hear Omaha underneath it, i.e. 1
kW KCRO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1120, March
9 at 1750 UT, KETU Catoosa/Sperry/Tulsa, dead carrier is still detectable on
caradio via daytime groundwave after at least a sesquimonth, altho seems weaker
than before, nominally 10 kW now, but no comparison whatsoever to 50 kW ND 1170
KFAQ.
However, pattern shows null at 310 degrees (Enid is more like
280), and another at 70; major broad lobe centered at 190 degrees, and minor at
10.
This
is because site is on the north side of Tulsa --- not that any of this matters
as long as they fail to modulate (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1170, March 10 circa 1315 UT, KFAQ Tulsa local
far-right talk show makes excuses for rampant racism at OU fraternities, implies
the video was by an infiltraitor. At least its IBOC is off at the moment;
usually on 24 hours, ruining KSL 1160 and other neighbors (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1360 & 1420, March 9 at 1751 UT check
on caradio, weak hets still audible on KS and OK stations, i.e. matching spurs
from local 1390 KCRC Enid. Pitch on 1360 is lower than on 1420, so one or more
of the three stations are slightly off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1650, March 10 at 0551 UT, `Red Eye Radio`
audible and a few words ahead of // 1640 KZLS, so this confirms KYHN Sallisaw is
still on the air, but it`s no longer dominant vs tri-station CCI; QRP? Or is it
now really 1 kW instead of previously 10 kW day power at night? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. KVOH: see ANGUILLA [non]
** U S
A. 11870, March 10 at 0543, WEWN `Dolorosa Pasión` service with that humwhine
imposed, only heard on this transmitter late at night (and I don`t see how it
could be from QRM) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 720,
March 9 at 1741 UT on caradio, WGN is still getting here on residual skywave
less than an hour before local mean noon --- appropriately, M&W discussing
the OU fraternity scandal; 1745 UT WGN ID for sure. Weak but steady, and between
stoplites and powerline noise sources, quite listenable. Has faded out by 1752
UT, but back again during news at 1802 UT. 670 also has signs of WSCR, something
CCI to KLTT Denver (and 850 KOA is also in over Spanish from Metroplex) (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 790, March 9 at 1748 UT on
caradio, ad for something in Burlington CO, times as Mountain, then
``K-Triple-X`` ID. This 5 kW ND Colby KS is normally difficult due to splash
from 800 KQCV OKC, allegedly only 2.5 kW, but KXXX lucks out at the moment, also
vs Lubbock 790. I still can`t get its next neighbor to the west, 1 kW KLOE 730
Goodland, due to huger splash from 740 KRMG Tulsa. KXXX is on Central time, KLOE
on Mountain: most of the western tier of KS counties next to CO are on MT,
except the NW and SW corners (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U
S A. 1140, March 10 at 1316 UT, ad with 757 area code, hyper hardsell station
promo for WVEL AM 1140, plug ``Testimony Tuesday`` for callers. It`s 5 kW ND
daytimer from Pekin (Peoria market) IL (shouldn`t that now be Beijin?).
``Rejoice`` (?) slogan apparently applies to soul music segments (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1100, March 9 at 1749 UT on
caradio, two very weak stations, one talk, one music, making fast SAH. One has
to be the nearest, KKLL Webb City (Joplin) MO, at edge of groundwave range, but
it`s a long way to any of the others in CO, TX, MN/ND, at midday (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
