** ANGUILLA [non]. 6090, March 11 at 0600 no signal; 11775, March 11 at 1342,
Caribbean Beacon remains off, clearing the latter for weak AIR signal.
Meanwhile, circa 0610 we could still hear PMS both on 9975 KVOH, and 34 seconds
earlier on 5935 WWCR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
BANGLADESH. 15505, March 11 at 1359, BB IS, very poor; mistimesignal ending at
1359:19.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11710 &
11745 & 11815, March 11 at 0538, crackling spurs from 11780.1v RNA/RNB
remain unmistakable here, somewhat weaker on 11710 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. CNR1 jammers, morning of March
11:
14920, March 11 at 1350, CNR1 jammer, good with flutter; no 12s or
13s
14870, March 11 at 1351, CNR1 jammer, fair with flutter; out of synch
with the others by several words; none in the OOB 15s
16750, March 11 at
1353, CNR1 jammer, poor, ahead of 14920
16530, March 11 at 1353, CNR1
jammer, good
16450, March 11 at 1353, CNR1 jammer, good with
flutter
17170, March 11 at 1354, CNR1 jammer, fair, almost //
16530
17200, March 11 at 1354, CNR1 jammer, poor
16920, March 11
at 1424, CNR1 jammer, fair with flutter; no 13s, 15s

** CUBA. 5040, March 11 at 0600, RHC is off this
frequency, neither Spanish nor English: need to check it earlier. Now the others
are all in overkill English: 6000, 6060, 6100, 6165: or rather jazz music at the
moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 7405,
March 11 at 0608, Cuban music, R. Martí VG with no jamming audible; but pulse
jamming vs nothing on 7365, and 6030 beneath wall-of-noise jamming. Seems the
DentroCuban Jamming Command is confused as usual by the DST time shifts, even
tho both Cuba and US do it in lockstep (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDIA. 9690, March 11 at 1329, miscellaneous pop music, never
IS, 1330 opening AIR GOS in English announcing 9690, 11620, 13710; poor but
clear, into news; 1340 Comment[a]ry about India-Sri Lanka relations: Tamils need
to coöperate. At 1347 I have bandscanned up to 13710 and find a much better
signal here during vocal music, good with flutter (but to be ruined by CRI in a
few minutes) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND.
9700, March 11 at 1323, RNZI `Dateline Pacific` with news from island after
island, now about Cook Islands getting some new coinage, including one that`s
triangular. Only fair signal, not as good as usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1650, March 11 at 0639 UT, KCNZ
Iowa ID in passing; even when aimed toward Sallisaw I get KCNZ and no trace of
KYHN. But at 1258 UT March 11, KYHN poor signal promoting Iphone and Android
access, ``Arklahoma`s conservative talk radio``. Must be underpowered and/or
sporadic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. (RF 13,
virtual 13.2), OETA OKLA channel, March 9 at 1700 UT is really screwed up.
`Charlie Rose` is supposed to replay now, but instead we`re getting `Antiques
Roadshow`, then for a few minutes video if not audio replaced by `Technical
Difficulties` slide in the style of traditional circular test patterns, photoed:
This
screenshot is from a tape and loses a lot of resolution; fine print at bottom
are IDs for the four main stations of the network. But the tool icons in the
middle show up nicely.
Finally gets this unravelled and joins Charlie
Rose in progress a few minutes later. May have something to do with current
`Festival` fundraiser disrupting normal programming. (Axually I was watching
this on Suddenlink cable 140, but could have seen it directly, with constant
breakup as both my external antennas can`t pull in OETA reliably, unlike OKC
full-power stations on UHF.)
The Oklahoma Network claims it is the medium
most trusted by Oklahomans, and has the most (proportional?) viewership of any
PBS sub-network; yet The Oklahoma Observer, March Observerscope column says:
``Dart: to the Republican-dominated Legislature, starving the state`s crown
jewel, OETA --- now the lowest-funded public television network in America``.
That`s Oklahoma for you! (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S
A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1763 monitoring: confirmed Wed March 11 from 1315:40
on WRMI 9955, rather weak with ACI on both sides, persistent RTTY on hi,
Japanese clandestines via Taiwan to N Korea on lo side.
Also confirmed
via the Wide-band WebSDR Utwente tuned to 7265-USB at 1535 UT Wed March 11,
quite sufficient, but by 1540 I`m hearing some CCI singing underneath, which per
Aoki would come from CRI via Kashgar in Hindi, or CNR2 via Baoji-Sifangshan 724
site. Clear again a few minutes before 1600, then total takeover by CRI in
Russian, Beijing site listed to the northwest, as Hamburger Lokalradio is over.
Next WOR:
Wed 2100 [new shifted time] on WBCQ 7490v. We hope to have the
new 1764 ready to go by UT Thursday 0330 on WRMI 9955 (but don`t always make it
in time). Consider subscribing to podcast, three linked via http://www.worldofradio.com (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 12105, March 11 at
1348, RFA Burmese via SAIPAN (until 1430) is underneath a somewhat stronger
carrier causing fast SAH; must be WTWW-3 stuck on the air. Wake up, Ted! Ivo
Ivanov was hearing the dead air carrier at 0200-0600+. He imagines it`s really
programming from 17 until 02 after DST shifts, in English, Spanish, Portuguese,
French, Arabic, Yoruba, Russian and English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 760, March 11 at 1300 UT, ID for KMTL, Little
Rock-North Little Rock, ``Inspiration Radio`` with CCI from KC. Is 10 kW
daytimer, COL Sherwood AR, address in Clarksville (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 11695, March 11 at 1429, VR IS, very
poor with flutter, mixing with something talking, but clear 1430 opening with
South Asian music, ``Laudetur Iesus Christus``. Aoki shows VR is via Palauig,
PHILIPPINES, due west in Hindi, while the overlap was NHK World Radio Japan in
English via UZBEKISTAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
