It`s a joint TED/NPR produxion, carried on NPR in USA, but iHeart in Canada, CBC not being interested? I believe I have also heard it on RNZ(I). Or is this a totally different TED show in Canada? I think not. I did hear NPR mentioned on CFRX as it started (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13740, March 1 at 1518, RHC still on with S9+40 of dead air, or rather with volume all the way up, trace of modulation, maybe same as modulated 13700 which is much weaker than usual, only S9+10 and spurless. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15700, March 1 at 1519, CRI Plus relay is much weaker than usual, only S9-S8 and undermodulated to boot. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 6184.974, March 2 at 0038, XEPPM is S9+10 but JBM --- close, but not exactly back on-frequency. Wolfgang Bueschel independently measured same offset via FL SDR at 2230 March 1, after Vatican closed 6185.000 at 2230:03, having mixed with it from 2224 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 267 kHz, March 1 at 0730, ND beacon HET, which is 25 watts from Henryetta OK, not heard before, I think. Copying the very weak signal, tuned to 265-USB, I was not sure whether there were a space between the E and the T, or single letter A, i.e. HA, but there is no HA anywhere around this frequency (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1520, March 2 at 0259 UT, bit of music from KOKC and a minute of dead air --- just what we need to check for sporadic daytimer KYND Cypress TX, which Paul Walker reported on air last night with business barker loop it used to run a lot last year --- but no sign of it now, just weak CCI from who knows what until KOKC resume at 0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** RWANDA [non]. 15420, Feb 29 at 1857 African song S9-S8, cut off at 1859* with no announcement; but scheduled as Radio Itahuka, weekly target/clandestine, Sat 18-19 via MADAGASCAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) [Date correct, overlooked for previous report]
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2023 monitoring: confirmed Sunday March 1 at 2130 on WRMI 7780, JBA vs high noise level (HNL)
Also confirmed UT Monday March 2 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, fair-poor via UTwente SDR, deep fades.
Also confirmed UT Monday March 2 at 0230 on WRMI 9395, VG via Rockport ME KiwiSDR; 7780 fair-poor via UTwente; also confirmed on WRN webcast. 0256 recheck direct on R75: 7780 good S9+10, 9395 JBA carrier. Note: from next week the 9395 airing *may* move back to 0130 UT Monday.
Also confirmed UT Mon Mar 2 at 0400 on Area 51 webcast; 5130 WBCQ good via KiwiSDR in Maryland but not Massachusetts. Note: from next week this will be at 0300 UT Monday.
Also confirmed UT Mon Mar 2 at 0430 on WRMI webcast, but 9955 direct is JBA carrier; nor can I find it on any of several SDRs in South and North America; maybe a trace of it at Ottawa. Note: from next week this will be at 0330 UT Monday. Next:

** U S A. (7490.16v), March 1 after 2300, WBCQ webcast of `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot` continues filling second half of hour with repeats of vintage shows, rather than `Radio Free Chicago`, deal must have fallen through, and UB says from April new UBMPs will be a full hour long each week both on WBCQ and Channel 292.
Note, DST in North America starts already next Sunday March 8, so UBMP will then be Sundays at 22-23 UT, as WBCQ operates by local time despite being an international SW station.
`Encore` classical music from Radio Tumbril still on WBCQ 7490/webcast after 0100 UT Monday March 2; not clear whether this be the last time like it was on WWCR Feb 29 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9455, March 2 at 0256, this WRMI is JBA S4-S6, like 9395, boding ill for `Encore` classical music on new relay at 0300. Recheck at 0325 via Rockport ME KiwiSDR, it`s L&C VG! during operatic arias. Almost as good via Bridgewater MA, but not so good further west (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
This report dispatched at 0458 UT March 2
