** CUBA. 13633 & 13767 approx., March 26 at 1449, weak spurblobs with F# tone out of RHC 13700-AM. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11850, March 27 at 0007, RHC is S9+20 and just barely modulated in Spanish; with flanking 11840 & 11860 JBA spurcarriers. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** FRANCE. 7295, March 26 at 0559, S9+10 of African music, 0600 RFI opening in Hausa; direct from Issoudun, so good way over here off-target. Compensates for no Nigeria on 7255-? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

11769.96, March 26 at 1509, JBA carrier maybe the other offset VON frequency, usually stronger thru midday but never enough for listening; thought maybe VON would also be off here. I also have a carrier on 11771.0, perhaps birdie (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re my off-frequency 1539.96 log of KGBC Galveston, the one with classic rock? Stephen Luce, Houston TX replies: ``Glenn, regarding what you are hearing on 1540: KGBC is currently running music fill, having lost its latest Spanish language religion paid programming client. They are promoting something called "Edge Radio" that is "coming soon."

** U S A. Enid supposed to hit 85 degrees heat wave March 26 but only made it to 77 at Woodring in the afternoon. By 10 am = 15 UT it`s 60, but humid with considerable regional tropo; as often, we are at the edge of level 1 enhancement, but rises to level 4-5 around Shreveport. On my antenna aimed about SE I start bandscannng at 1510:
RF 45, KOTV ``6`` Tulsa *still* hasn`t repacked, in solid at 1510 on 6-1 CBS Price Is Right, along with 6-2 KQCW-SD, 6-3 NewsOn6.
At 1515, BAD DX signals not enough to decode: 35, 31, 28, 22, 21, 14, 12, 10, 9 --- and OKC signals also BAD due to DX QRM or QRP: 24, 23, 19, 18, 17=Enid, 16, 15, 13!
At 1521, RF 32, 21-1 KPXJ-HD with Judge Jerry; 21-2 KPXJ-ME, 21-3 KPXJ-MO, 21-4 KPXJ-AN, standing for MeTV, Movies, AntennaTV. 21-3 also has a LR bug that looks like NOIR. KPXJ is 1000 kW from Minden LA, east of Shreveport in that market. If really in Minden, 370 miles from here
RF 26, 6-1 KTAL-DT, NBC, Shreveport-Texarkana; call originally stood for TALlest tower for a while midway in Vivian LA, 329 miles from here, which under current conditions is real DX. Marginal briefly, no chance to explore its subs. No sign of KTEN Ada OK in the way, maybe already repacked away from 26.
RF 22, 22-1 HSN1 -- only match is merely KTOU-LD, 15 kW in OKC, which takes tropo to visiblize here.
RF 20, 19-1 KQCW-HD, unlike only SD on KOTV RF 45, 6-2
RF 11, 11-1, OETA-HD, i.e. KOED Tulsa with the same subs at 13 KETA
At 1638, now from the north: RF 26, 24-1, Fox, i.e. KSAS Wichita KS; This popped in still tuned to 26 after KTAL gone. Better at 1719 check along with 24-2 TBD; 24-3 Comet.
At 1720, RF 31, 31-1 KDCU-DT, Derby KS (Wichita) Univision, along with: 31-2 Grit, 31-3 Escape, 31-4 Laff, 31-5 Court. Contrary to W9WI.com which shows 31 KDCU as 46-1 Univision, 46-2 UniMas, only
RF 12, 33-1 KSCW-DT, 33-2 Decades, 33-3 Antenna, 33-4 StarTV. That`s Wichita KS. W9WI.com has this on RF 12 with 36-1 CW only
RF 35, 36-1 MyTV, 36-2 Stadium, 36-3 Charge!, 36-4 Dabl --- this is KMTW Hutchinson KS. NOT as in W9WI.com: 36-2 Zuus Country, 36-3 GetTV
At 1726, another survey of BAD signals: 8, 9, 11, 13, 16, 21, 23, 24
RF 10, KAKE-DT PSIP ID on both 10-1 & 10-2 with MeTV bug LR. Wichita (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

Also, 837 has a slow beat of 72/minute = 1.2 Hz. There are high-powers in Iran, Ethiopia, Eritrea, but more likely low-powers in Canary Islands/Spain, but no mwoffset matches (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 711 kHz, March 26 at 0615 UT, carrier still here beating against 710 stations, and itself again with a 192/minute = 3.2 Hz SAH as heard at 0032. Presumed one of the seven Radio Rebelde, CUBA transmitters; if exactly 711.000, which TA could be 3.2 Hz away? A near-match at mwoffsets, 3.0 Hz below: ``710.9970 AOE SNRT Al Idaâ Al Amazighia (Laâyoune=El Aaiún) 24h 2018-02-16`` --- a.k.a. MOROCCO; not sure why still abbr`d AOE, meaning Spanish West Africa? That place is axually in occupied WESTERN SAHARA right across from Canary Islands.
