** CUBA. 6180, March 3 at 0104, algo JBA but not CRI relay; its S9/+10 carrier comes on late at *0105 but open for a while; by 0113 recheck modulating in English. Understation maybe Brasil, but unseemed // 11780 with SBG excitement. In fact CRI has a 6180 simulcast English via Kashgar, East Turkistan, land of brainwashing Uighurs to become good little Mandarins. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 420-MCW kHz, March 2 at 0717 UT, FQ, 25-watt ND beacon `Montz`, Fairmont, Minnesota.
415-MCW kHz, March 3 at 0342 UT, IY, 25-watt NDB `Chukk`, Charles City, Iowa. A regular here, not bothered to log, but note that classaxe.com shows CBC Cayman Islands active as recently as January altho it was thought to be off by last year; also reported in February on 415 was SLU, St. Lucia, both of which I would rather hear; but G1 storm and K=5 are insufficient.
395-MCW kHz, March 3 at 0343 UT, CA, 25-watt NDB `Harvs`, Newton, Kansas. I was tuned to 393-USB. I would rather hear on 393, EVG in El Vigia, Venezuela, 100 watts active last year but keying ``EVO`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 4980, March 3 at 0058, S7-S9 but undermodulated in Asian language, Vietnamese or Chinese. Must not be Xinjiang PBS, Urumqi graylinish, land of ChiCom genocide against the Uyghurs; but rather WRMI with the multilingually unpredictable cultshow, `Supreme Master TV`. However there is a hum/low audible het from a slightly different frequency which likely *is* East Turkistan, also JBA carrier on its clear next frequency up, 5060. As for WRMI, its next frequency up, 5010 is stronger S9+10/20 and better modulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9330, March 3 at 0112, no signal from WBCQ WLCR; nor on 9333. G1 storm and K index of 5 may have propped it out, but you`d think at least a smidgin of its 500 kW would be detectable; all gobbled up in the ionosphere; or serving International Vacuum (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1630, March 3 at 0124 UT, S9+10 of music with a heavy beat, 0127 YL DJ as ``1630 KCJJ`` fulfilling a request, soul music. I was hoping for something more than Iowa City, which has a split format of talk and AC music per NRC AM Log; way dominant over closer KKGM Fort Worth, with an NRC AM log update early January saying ``1630 KKGM TX Fort Worth – Format to UC:NWS/TLK (ex-GOS/REL); slogan to “Black Information Network,” networks to BIN. (Radio Insight)`` Does UC here mean they also music, or just euphemise Black, in this case news/talk of such genre? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
