** U S A. 5130v, UT Wed March 2 at 0212, WBCQ tuning up
its new frequency, possibly first airing, during `Amateur Radio Roundtable`
(which was missing last week due to the illness and death of Tom Medlin`s mother
Agnes --- our condolences). At first I find it on 5131.6v, but it`s audibly
jumping to 5131.7, 5131.4, and undermodulated, very poor copy. At 0215 it`s
closer to nominal, 5129.85, and at 0216, 5129.80 CUSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. 9275.03, March 1 at 2037, WMLK Bethel PA is
on again, this time adding modulation, or rather undermodulated talk, hard to
copy --- it could well be EJOM, dead for six years. Somewhat stronger on meter
than neighbor 9265 WINB, but sounds weaker. Tnx to tips from DXLD yg members who
were hearing it earlier today. 2037 changes to rustic organ music hymn which is
now much better modulated, in fact, now sounds as loud as WINB. Frequency is
slightly on plus side. 2047 talk, and measured at 9275.03. Registered hours for
WMLK on 9275 are 17-22 (tho it was heard carrier testing as early as 1530); also
at 04-09 on 9265 (NOT 9275), its old frequency at a time when WINB never needs
it; both semi-powered 125 kW, 53 degrees toward Europe. Remains to be heard
whether the afternoon transmission will now be regular (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. 9370, March 2 at 2037, WWRB is back on with
BS; seemed to have been off for several days whenever checked (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** YEMEN [non]. 11860, March 2 at 1503-1520, I
monitor Republic of Yemen Radio continuously, usual mostly music and no break
for any call to prayer which if observed would have been during this sunset
window. Still S9 to S9+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
