** CUBA. 4765, March 24 at 0134, JBA S5/S6 into Bonaire SDR, R. Progreso? Yet 5040, RHC at 0136 is S9+5/15 of dead air. Maybe 4765 was Tajikistan, Cuba off, as no 4765 signal at 0137 recheck. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 11735, March 24 at 0653, too-sweet music from VOK, shortly French ID and schedule, S7/S9. Music at first sounded similar on 11680, another DPRK channel, which should be on the air now with domestic service 22 hpd; but differs later, surely Zambia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MADAGASCAR. 15605, March 24 at 1507, S8/S9+10 of talk in unknown language, slight RTTY QRM on minus side. It`s AWR via Talata in `Lus` language per Aoki, nomenclature confusion discussed earlier. Not in WRTH 2022 in any language under AWR Africa, where else? UK on page 502. O, that`s because as in EiBi, `MZ` is a S Asian language, so in WRTH it`s Mizo, page 499 under, where else? Thailand (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** PERU [and non]. 4775 minus 36 Hz = 4774.964, March 24 at 0132, S6/S8 of music into Bonaire SDR, R. Tarma. Normally it`s about 40 Hz on plus side.
Since this SDR is back online I`m bandscanning 60m. Did not check calibration, but still running at 1558 when the only WWV JBA is 20000, SAM showing carrier offset within plus/minus 1 Hz, which must be instability of receiver, not WWV, but close to accurate.
Nothing else of note on 60m circa 0136: 4765 Cuba? is JBA only S5-S6. Nothing from USA beyond 4980 & 5010 WRMIs. 4940 Fuerza de Paz is VG; 4885 Brasils, and nothing more exotic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** RUSSIA. 9996 CW, March 24 at 0641, secondly timepips, prolonged marker at top of each minute. Obviously RWM Taldom on signature channel, agreeing closely with WWV/H, sorry (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** UKRAINE [non]. My recording via a remote of Ukrainian Radio relay via WRMI 7780, March 23 at 0503-0510 UT, English segment with some Ukrainian before and after; the start of which is on WOR 2131: https://www.w4uvh.net/Ukraine_English_2022_0323_0503_WRMI_7780.mp3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2130 monitoring: confirmed UT Thursday March 24 at 0030 on WRMIs: 9395, S9+15 into Maryland SDR while 9455 is JBA S7 in noise level. But at Missouri SDR, 9395 is S9+30, and 9455 is almost as good, S9+20. How to explain disparity of supposedly identical parameters, 100 kWs at 355 degrees? Maybe radically different antennas with tighter beam on the lower one.
Also confirmed UT Thursday March 24 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9+5/20 into TWR Bonaire SDR. Yes, this mostly missing Kiwi is back online at the moment! It defaults to 800 kHz, so TWR people can listen to their own PJB station, but when running on SW it`s better than anything else in the Caribbean area.
A few minutes too late to confirm, I spot an additional WOR airing now on the WRMI skedgrid: UT Thursday at 0130 on 9395.

** U S A. 7730, March 24 at 0053, still no reactivation of this WRMI frequency which was supposed to occur some 25 hours ago; nor for a few hours more monitoring nothing here. No explanation on the disgraced FB of WRMI, the go-to place for latest station news, if any. Later: Jeff told me it would really be back by UT March 25, and so it is but 7730 seems weaker than it should be at 0050 check. We are getting close to the Grand Swap of all 7730 & 7780 programming for A-22, effective March 27 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9330, March 24 at 0632, WLCR via WBCQ SuperStition inbooming as some wacko is asserting that Man has never gone into space, let alone landed on the Moon: it was all staged for unknown reasons by the powers that were. What a pity that WBCQ has tied itself to this nonsense; surely as a Man of Science, Allan Weiner knows better but won`t contradict, disparage, or condemn his major client. Free speech! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9975, March 24 at 0640, KVOH is still on, song with guitar, S9+20/30. Sked revised March 16 http://voiceofhope.com/schedule/kvoh_program_grid.pdf shows SW sign-off at 0600* after `Song in the Night`. BTW, AWR Wavescan is now 0200 UT Sunday and Tuesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9777.70 USB, March 24 at 0638, weak 2-way in Spanish INTRUDERS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
