http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html
including many DST changes for Cuba, USA

** ALASKA. 9550, March 11 at 1554, hard rock music S4/S6, what`s this?
Only listed at 15-16 is KNLS in Russian; one of better signals on band
with depressed propagation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, March 12 at 1457, NO LRA36 signals to
three Brasil SDRs where normally audible if on, missing another
Saturday. What about the new all-female crewe supposed to overtake?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, March 16 at 1508, LRA36 is active this
Wednesday, music, only S2/S3 into Brasília #1 SDR, no signal into
Campo. 1510 ``Nacional, la radio pública`` ID; 1519 Antártida
themesong, gone off by 1523 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ARMENIA [and non]. 1395, March 15 at 1819, Russian, VG S9+15/30
into Tambov, Russia KiwiSDR, not blocked and no jamming yet, long
interview above lots of crowdnoise background --- the new R. Liberty
one-hour relay by crowdfunding as USAGM is not interested. Site not
revealed but obviously Gavar, the only huge signal on 1395, 500 kW. As
to be expected, only 1403 km = 872 statute miles away. Another user is
also on this from Arlington VA, guess who? 

Tambov also has Russian on 1386, in fact sounds like the same, i.e. R.
Baltic Waves relay from Lithuania. Strangely, this Kiwi does not block
1386 & 1395, but next channels, 1404, 1413, 1422 are blacked out. 1395
also audible at further Pskov, but lots more ACI from nearby 1386. At
1900, 1395 abruptly switches to TOMBS cult in South Carolina English!
No 1395 on the TOMBS website (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also
UNIDENTIFIED

** AUSTRIA. 15360.421, March 14 at 1923, something way off frequency,
African? language, S9+10 with fades to S7. Only thing scheduled
1900-1930 on ``15360`` is AWR Hausa via Moosbrunn; a major 300 kW site
where no one is paying attention (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** AZORES [and non]. 6114, March 11 at 0723, the RTTY is still rampant
here from presumed US Navy, S9+10 abutting 6115 Japan S5/S8 with song
in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9666.720, March 10 at 0713, RVM with S4-S7 of secularish
music, representing ZY on 31m, altho sometimes I have a JBA carrier
9819+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28450 USB, March 11 at 2317-2320+, Calling DX CQ, poor
signal but stands out initially as OSOB. Gives call fonetikaly but
despite many repeats I cannot figure out what the last letter be:
PY2B#. He alternates Bravo and Brasil for the B, but the next letter
is unrecognizable, sounds like ``Broadway`` which doesn`t make sense.
Signals like this may be trans-equatorial propagation rather than
plain old F2, especially over darkness path. This is the season for it
and it also affects the FM BC band above 88 MHz, but never this far
north. See USA for next log (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. Re 28450 USB, my ham report of a PY2B# something, last
fonetik non-understandable, like ``Broadway``? Chanter, odxa iog
suggests: ``Could the Brazilian ham be saying Paraguay as a phonetic
for the last letter in his call?`` --- Yes, he could, maybe (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CAYMAN ISLANDS. 28428 USB, March 13 at 1844, ZF2VE with contest
contacts; seemed OSOB until ECUADOR showed up, q.v. QRZ.com:
ZF2VE Cayman Islands flag Cayman Islands, Gerald B "Gerry" Hull, 100
Antrim Road, Hancock, NH 03449, Cayman Islands

Page managed by W1VE [= sameham]. Operation from the fantastic QTH of
Stan, K5GO/ZF9CW, 100w only from Cayman Brac. QSL Via LOTW only. 73, 
Gerry. His ham radio story, originally from Halifax NS:
https://www.qrz.com/db/W1VE
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHILE. 28455 USB, March 16 at 2215, CE7VP, Javier is the only
signal on 10m -- good thing I bandscanned anyway, and no CW beacons
either. Says he is beyond Puerto Montt in southern Chile; island
sounds like pronounced ``Quiloé``, contact with WB7JB in Washington
state, even further than I, who am 9176 km = 5702 stmi; S4/S5, enough
to combat my local hi noise level. QRZ.com:

CE7VP Chile flag Chile
Javier "Javi" Capdebilla Alvarado, P.O. Box : 42, Quellon, Chiloe
Island, 5790000, Chile

``Saludos del Sur del Mundo --- Regards of the south of the world.
Chiloe Is. (SA-018) *Chilean Patagonia*``, some nice photos at
https://www.qrz.com/lookup/ce7vp
Then I scanned 12 m, nothing; 15m one unID phone; 17m a couple phone
signals, one Japanese sounding (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 11590, March 12 at 1553, VG S9+10 of CNR1, which is only
here to jam RFA Chinese via Kuwait this hour only, a victim not
audible at all. I know it`s not RFA but CNR1 since it`s // another
weaker jammer on 9660 which has a different inaudible victim, R Taiwan
International. I continue to wonder whence this jam splurt, eastern or
western ``China``? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, March 10 at 0716, RHC only S4-S7 of dead air while all
other frequencies are off already. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, March 11 at 0722, RHC S9+10 of dead air except for hum,
all other frequencies off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, March 11 at 1553, RHC Spanish with considerable hum
often infesting its legacy first frequency. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13740, March 11 at 2324, RHC Spanish is S9 but horrible
overmodulation distortion and buzz. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
Meanwhile, the useless Chinese music fill relay on 13650 is relatively
clear (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, March 13 at 0657, R. Rebelde is OFF: connected with
start of DST as a running dog of Yanqui imperialism? But it`s 24/7.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. BTW it leaves a local HNL of S9
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, March 13 at 0701* tune-in a few notes of RHC theme and
cut off. Might have been about to start Esperanto one hour earlier
than before. 6100 still on but S9+30 of dead air; but eventually
starts ``2nd hour`` of English, ``top news of the week``, some
distortion. No others still on. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Sunday March 13 at 1507, RHC Esperanto at S9/+20 //
11760 at S9. So this outsending has successfully earlied an hour due
to irrelevant local DST (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, March 13 at 1922, RHC English hour earlier now, S9+10
into Missouri but annoying humbuzz. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
The next English propaganda hour normally moves one hour later than
earlier when DST start, 23-24 instead of 22-23, maybe still on 11880;
while the next2 hour on 5040 at 00-01, moves an hour earlier so it
coincide with 11880. We shall see/hear (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 6100, March 14 at 0558, RHC is S9+20, but Spanish
instead of English. 

6060, March 14 at 0558, RHC music, then English, S9+10 with good
modulation. 

5040, March 14 at 0559, RHC English VG S9+20/30, but cuts off at
0600*. 

6165, March 14 at 0601, RHC back here after long absence, and no
signal on 9700; maybe starting as early as 0000, unchecked then. S7/S9
with that signature hum, but just barely modulated. By 0605 I realize
the language is not English or Spanish, but Arabic? So this is really
R. Japan in Arabic via FRANCE as scheduled 0600-0630, underneath the
Radio Humvana carrier. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

6000, March 14 at 0604, RHC S9+10/20 of dead air or trace of
modulation. Nothing else scheduled, so probably really RHC rather than
an understation; altho Echo of Hope, Korea South, might have jumped
from 5995 to 6000 this week? Somethings` always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, March 14 at 1921, no signal from RHC when English
should have shifted; nor anywhere else on cursory bandcheck now, altho
I did confirm it yesterday. RHC is amid the biweek of confusion due to
imposition of Yanqui DST already. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, March 14 at 2159, RHC unscheduled Spanish on here,
S9+25 until chopped off at 2203.5* instead of English as had been at
2200 in B-season until DST imposed. Previous pattern would be to move
English one UT hour *later* to start at 2300, but none of that today,
still vacant after 2300 and no English found anywhere else.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11850, March 14 at 2204, surveying RHC besides no 11880 with
English: none on 13 MHz band; on 11 MHz, only 11850 dead air and
Spanish on 11760; on 9 MHz, audible on 9710 and much weaker 9535. By
2304, 9650 has replaced 9710, rather than previous swap time of 0000.
After 2300 the only Cuban on 13 MHz is 13650 with useless CRI music
relay fill instead of Portuguese. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5040, March 14 at 2318, RHC in Spanish, not English, which
ultimately in DST months may appear this hour instead of one real UT
hour later as it had been. 11880 still off, which typically matches
5040 at 23-24 when both attain English. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5040, UT Tue Mar 15 at 0000, RHC Spanish with frequencies,
probably incorrect but not copied. This is when English hour used to
start on tropical band. Tnx to DST making it already 8 pm local in
Habanamiami, English to USA ought to start somewhere, traditionally
6000 & 6165, but neither is on nor 9700 which mostly replaced 6165
this winter. So I keep checking but English is nowhere, tsk2. By 0032,
6165 is on --- in Spanish, still no 6000, or 6060. But 6165 is *not*
// 5040 Spanish. Maybe it`s the alternate TV audio `Mesa Redonda`, but
it was previously in the 23-24 UT hour during DST. It was 6000 //
11950 but nothing now on 11950. 

At 0105: still no 6000; 6165 in Spanish entertainment, not // 11760 &
5040 & 9650 which match each other. By 0145 recheck, 6000 is finally
on but Spanish, not English, // 6165. At 0203 still Spanish music on
6000 // 6165, no English. 

At 0307, 6000 finally in English with a drama about Czechia and
Marxism. 6165 is now off as well as 9700, 6100, 6060 not on yet,

At 0645, 6060 is Spanish, only S5/S7; 6100 with music, English,
S9+20/30 but overmodulated, distorted with hum. 6165, 6000 and 5040
are all off by now. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

I knew it would be pointless, but for the record check the RHC
website, which ought to show the very latest frequency schedule, ha2.
radiohc.cu homepage has dropdowns, the first one on the left, De
Interés, normally leads to Frecuencias, but refuses to drop on the
portada; if you go to some other page first, then it works, and guess
what, still displays the *B20* sked which expired a year ago!
Somethings` always multiply wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, March 15 at 2258, Virginia SDR is getting music from
algo, I guess RHC, S9+10 and noisy, but then into deadair. Recheck at
2329, now it`s in English, so after flailing around a few days,
getting act together for English moved to 23-24 --- but at 2303 and
2329, 5040 is still in Spanish, not English. A different YL voice than
usual, something anti-American about Assange. Modulation is somewhat
distorted and scratchy on 11880. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

Spanish, otherwise? at 2328, 11950 // 6000, so `Mesa Redonda` is
resuscitated. Mainstream Spanish not // to those but to each other:
11760, 11670, 9650, 9535 music; but 11850 and its parasites are off as
are all 13 MHz channels except Chinamusic on 13650. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. Another RHC survey March 16 at 0101 via Maryland SDR: 5040 is
S7/S9 of dead air. 6000 is on VG S9/+10 and in English! unlike last
night. But no second English channel, all these off: 6060, 6100, 6165,
9700; on in Spanish is 9650. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, March 16 at 1434, open carrier/dead air in Spanish
except for a squeal from RHC, S9+10/20 much stronger than 15230 which
does manage to modulate S8/S9. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, March 16 at 2226, RHC in French, S9+35 with hum, so
apparently on DST-adjusted schedule of 2200 French, 2230 Portuguese?,
2300 English.

11850, March 16 at 2227, RHC S9+20 but JBM, suptorted Spanish and
parasitic spur on 11840s. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ECUADOR. 28395 USB, March 13 at 1847, JBA Spanish at first, then
HC4CS, Armundo?, 100 watts; next contact in English.
HC4CS Ecuador flag Ecuador, ARMANDO CERVANTES, KM. 86 VIA SANTA ELENA,
PUERTO LOPEZ, AYAMPE, EC 131952, Ecuador. Many illustrations:
https://www.qrz.com/lookup/hc4cs
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9899.617v, March 9 at 2142, today`s R Cairo check via
UTwente: very strong but extremely suptorted with hum, awful, can`t
even be positive it`s in English. Something`s always egregious in
Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2129)

** EGYPT. 9899.798, March 14 at 2126, R. Cairo on new frequency some
0.2 kHz higher than before, into UTwente, S9+35 but extremely
distorted presumed English as usual. Also hit by big buzz QRM
9885-9915, OTHR? Would you believe that NASWA Journal log editor
strips off any precise frequencies reported beyond the decimal, which
some of us go to so much trouble to measure, making my previous report
nonsensical as if on ``9899``! Also approx. 9899.8 direct at 2207,
S7/S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9809.792, March 15 at 1907, I accidentally tune the Pskov,
Russia SDR here while checking 9370 R. Svoboda: extreme distortion
S6/S8 just like 9899.8 for the 2115 English. Scheduled now at 19-20 is
R. Cairo in German (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ERITREA [non]. 11705, March 15 at 1525, Horn-of-Africa music S4-S7.
Aoki shows at 1500-1530 Radio Mazaris Samay, via Talata, MADAGASCAR.
In WRTH 2022 page 517 it`s the first Target Broadcast under Eritrea,
as Radio Maezer Semay, religious based in Dallas TX! also for
Ethiopia. Alt. freq. 11555 was anticipated from 1 Feb 2022 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ETHIOPIA. 7110, March 10 at 0400, another check for anything but
the INTRUDER, R. Ethiopia which has been here for months, but Robin
Harwood, Tasmania, had reported something European in French. All I
hear now is incomprehensible African language, presumably Amharic,
with the ID, ``Yeh ---`` something, as in WRTH. No French or Slavic.
No second station, no QRM except occasional adjacent SSB QRhaM; fading
down a lot by 0445 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2129)

** FRANCE [non]. 15770, Wed Mar 16 at 1900, Radio for Peace
International test in Russian as pre-publicized, via WRMI. If
successful, will be prolonged. Opens with multi-lingual ID, news in
Russian, occasional English IDs. VG into Maryland SDR but did not
check in Europe, more concerned with 9370 R. Svoboda, but see later
reports about that. That left a 15-minute gap before VOA news and
`Flashpoint Ukraine` on 15770 at 1930, so I wondered what would fill
at 1915? Old favorites from the World Music reel which Richard Langley
and Bruce Churchill identified as including: ``First piece was "Amores
Imortais" by Brazilian singer Eduardo Costa.`` Then more
``international music (Chariots of Fire, Verdum En Dibe Kadar
(Turkish), Da Fing Der Sommer Noch Einmal An” (German) and a short
interlude “Vraho Vraho” (Greek)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INDIA. 15030, March 16 at 1434, JBA with Doppler flutter, i.e. AIR
Dari at 1330-1500 via Bengaluru - no more sesquihour in English! a
worthless language per AIR. BTW, is INTRUDER like any other
broadcaster within the 15.0-15.1 MHz off-route aeronautical band, i.e.
military; despite longstanding invasions pioneered by BBC on 15070
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN [non]. 5910, Friday March 11 at 1730, another check for weekly
clandestine Channel 1 TV audio from Canoga Park via UZBEKISTAN: no
signal until humming carrier on at *1730.5, S9+10/15 into UTwente, JIP
modulation at 1732, all Farsi talk by different M & W voices, so
succeeds better than truncated transmissions previous weeks. No ID
heard. Surprisingly keeps going past 1800 a bit until 1802 mod chopped
off and then carrier* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9800, March 14 at 1523, ballad at S4/S7 with
flutter, 1525 Korean announcement. I was expecting VOA Philippines,
but it takes a break at 1500-1900 from 9800; rather, Nippon no Kaze at
1500-1600 via Paochung, TAIWAN, site says Aoki; while EiBi says
TWN-s-Danshui/Tanshui/Tamsui (Taipei province) 25N11-121E25 vs.
TWN-p-Paochung/Baujong (Yunlin province) PAO/BAJ 23N43-120E18.
WRTH 2022 says pao while the //s are two other sites: 7290tsh,
7550tac. Korean ID is Ilbon-ui Baram (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)    

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11540, March 14 at 1518, two weak signals beating,
Dengê Welat and Turkish jammer; also same on March 13. No more
cat-and-mouse? Nothing on alternate 11530, where D.W. ought to jump
when jammed on 11540, and v.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 28410 USB, March 13 at 2223, 4A90CHI, special event station
at S7.

** MONGOLIA [non]. 5800, March 16 at 0145, Voice of Mongolia ID in
English, feature about the arts, UNESCO. This is a brand-new relay by
WRMI, Tue-Sat at 0130-0200: a big help as VOM`s direct English are
hardly heard in NAm, per WRTH 0900-0930 on 12085, 1530-1600 on 12015;
at 178 and 116 degrees resp., neither any good thisaway, let alone
inconvenient hours and MUFs. RMI is probably getting it thru
intervention of Kall which already relays VOM to Europe at 1300-1330
on 6005. Will have to listen to some whole VOMcasts if I can clear
such a semihour. Tnx to Richard Langley alert about this from WRMI on
disgraced FB. VOM replaces R. Prague International but which still has
some other RMI times. 5800 is on a 160-degree antenna like 9955 but
fairly audible backwards, sidewards (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6955 AM, March 11 at 2311, JBA S7 talk. Many logs
here as Earth Station 1W, with SF stuff and Beatles:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,94205.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6910 USB, March 12 at 2315, JBA sounds like someone
reading a document or speech, can`t make it out. Many reports here of
the occasional pirate WFDR, an FDR speech from 1939 as war was
previously brewing in Europe...
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,94276.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. For the record as of March 13, day and night, these
formerly semi/local ND beacons are still silent: 255 SW StillWater;
341 EI EnId; 515 PN PoNca City. That leaves 350 RG, Will RoGers World
Airport, OKC as the main Okie still running. But the others have gone
and come before, so you never know (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, March 16 at 1900 I`m checking various remotes
to get a feel for reception on second day of R. Svoboda in Russian tnx
to the crowdfunding initiative via secret site. It`s audible at TWR
Bengaluru, India which certainly implies a ``central`` Asia site, only
poor but at S9/+10. Armenia would fit and be most convenient after a
known relay on MW 1395 the previous hour; really southwest Asia. Of
the Eurussian SDRs, best into Izhevsk, which is way east of Moskva, VG
S9+10 at 1906. At 1907 a beep and some jamming/OTH radar starts
continually covering +9200-9550 or so, but still audible. Occasionally
also beep and louder sweep tones intermittently. At 1920 I find
Bryansk ``CrazySDR`` is getting a sufficient S5/S6 signal (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOUTH AMERICA. Trans-equatorial ham DX on 10 meters again, not very
strong signals in contest and no CW beacons heard, per QRZ.com:

** SPAIN [and non]. 5960, Fri March 11 at 2300, V of Turkey to N
America? is JBA direct, so no contest, over to 9690 for L&C REE
English, S9+30/45. Justin Coe says today`s feature will be a
``revisit`` of Amy Egan`s about Galician poetess Rosalía de Castro, VG
but I heard it the first time, so I just listen to the news by JC,
only four stories: far-right party Vox gets to participate in
coalition government for first time since Franco; they are
anti-feminist and of course pro-Franco. Nicaragua recalls ambassador
to Spain, as vice versa last Sept 21 over some dispute about
interference. A commission to investigate sex abuse of minors by
Catholic priests, about time. COVID stats, current infexion rate in
Spain, 429 per 100,000; total epidemic: 11,204,000 cases, 101,777
deaths. 2307 classical guitar interlude and over to Amy. 

Then I check the other REE frequencies direct: 12030 is OFF! Normally
a close second to 9690, off the back to ME; 11940 to SAm is abnormally
weak S6/S8 with flutter, but better than 11685 to Africa, S4/S6 with
flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, REE`s N American frequency, is AWOL today March 14 at
2208 check; while 11940 SAm is S9, 12030 ME S7/S8. Still off at 2304
checking Knoxville SDR, and so is 11685 for Africa, nor 11670, leaving
only 12030 for English to be heard! Something`s always nonsensical at
Noblejas. BTW, don`t rely on W8BUG for accurate SAM frequency
displays: it thinx WWV 10000 is +40-41 Hz off! And 11940 as +57, so it
would really be only +16/17 unless the offness be nonlinear (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. If it`s Tuesday there must not be any English from REE, but
checking at 2305 March 15, all four frequencies are on instead of
yesterday only one, sounds Castilian but must be the Sefarad service
a.k.a. Ladino, a.k.a judeo-español on 9690, 11685, 11940, 12030.
Another one is on same set Saturdays at 2230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) 

** SPAIN. 9690, March 16 at 2300 it`s Wednesday so REE in English,
feature to be about some American singer/songwriter, so over to TURKEY
instead, but first checking all four frequencies into Maryland SDR: VG
here and also 11940, 12030, while 11685 is noticeably weaker (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SRI LANKA. 15704.874, March 16 at 1437, JBA carrier way
off-frequency, i.e. AWR in Chinese via Trincomalee. Also with Doppler
flutter as befits such a transpolar signal. ChiCom probably do not
bother to jam as harmless? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) 

** TIBET [non]. 17585, March 16 at 1431, JBA carrier with Doppler
flutter, presumably ChiCom jammer against VOA Tibetan via Biblis,
Germany, scheduled this hour only. Seemed OSOB until I came upon
another JBA carrier on 17885, which would be VOA English via Botswana,
this hour only. Nothing on Ascension or Mali frequencies: but per Aoki
the only one to be on at this moment would be CRI Mali on 17630 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, March 9 at 2316, VOT VG signal and mod unto UTwente
this time, with `Feeling Supreme` about natural remedies against pain
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, March 15 at 2307, VOT into UTwente is on and very
good, S9+25/35 with only a slight squeal. Altho this is hardly audible
direct, we`re not looking forward to A22 when, stuck in a rut, VOT
goes back on 9830 at 2200, oblivious of all the RTTY from Puerto Rico
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, March 16 at 2309, VOT English VG today into UTwente
with just a hint of squeal, already into first feature, `Feeling
Supreme`, on natural ways to keep memory sharp, by nutrition (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7780, March 16 at 0500-0517+, Ukrainian Radio via
WRMI; some online casts have included segments in English, originally
after 0100 UT, but only Ukrainian language heard now. This is addition
to original 12-13 UT relay on 5010 - not part of Shortwave for Freedom
crowdfunding as WRMI relayed UR before that was formed. I`ve yet to
confirm/listen to that, too early (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28425 USB, March 11 at 2321, tuning around 10m after q.v.
BRAZIL, it`s not the OSOB, because here is a bigger signal calling CQ
over and over past 2323+ with no answers, KC4TVZ. His fonetix are
clear but never any QTH, but with southern accent; so, Antarctica? KC4
used to be the US prefix there. Hardly, per QRZ.com: KC4TVZ USA flag
USA, Todd Burnette, 6415 Ivy Springs Drive, Flowery Branch, GA 30542,
USA. So close, this must be sporadic E (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) 

** U S A. 15770, reminder that VOA`s Flashpoint Ukraine is now M-F at
1935 via WRMI; and new sked has added WORLD OF RADIO at 1930 Saturdays
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) more below under WRMI

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2128 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday March 9
at 2200 on (7490.1v) webcast -- BUT NO SIGNAL on 7490 direct or to
Virginia, Missouri SDRs; yet 9330 VG and even 6160- could be
detected. From next Wednesday at 2100, even more daysorbtion.

Also confirmed UT Thursday March 10 after 0130 on WRMI 5010 VP, 9395
S9/S7 directs.

Note: imposition of useless DST March 13 will force several WRMI
airings to one UT hour earlier, viz.:
Fri 1430 9955
Sat 0130 9395
Sun 2230 5950
Tue 0030 9395 - and 9455?

Thu 0030 9395 - and 9455?
All other airings on 5010, 5850, 7730, 7780 stay at the same UTs

All airings on WBCQ will shift: Sat 0400 4790, Mon 0300 6160-, Wed
2100 7490+, we hope.

Friday March 11 at 0330 on WRMI 5985; did anyone hear it?

Confirmed still not airing Fri Mar 11 at 1530 on WRMI 9955, rather

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2129 monitoring: confirmed Friday
March 11 after 1915 on IRRS SW 7290 via Bulgaria; and MW 1323 via AM
Italia, Villa Estense. Once started I did not keep on them to be sure
full 29 minutes aired, but hope so. Did monitor as usual earlier from
before 1900: 7290 carrier on at *1857, S9+20/35 but heavy ACI from
7285 into UTwente. After 1900 ACI from the other side, 7295. As
always, Bulgaria missed s/on, JIP Feature Story News from a bit before
1901; 1905 IRRS ID and UN News in Brief; 1907 songs filler. Also on
1323, the nearby Noale SDR would not load at first, so tried another,
I5HGM at Cavinglia further away, where CCI from Romania in German was
atop. At 1911 I got IW3HBX Noale to work, where music on both made SAH
of about 3 Hz.

WOR 2129 also confirmed Fri March 11 at 2130 on 1323 kHz only,
preceded by someshow discussing Ukraine, chopped off at 2129 for ID
and then WOR. Now there is no QRoMania; so I try Tambov, Russia SDR,
where I`m also audible, but weakly. How far is that? 2311 km = 1406
stmi. Lucky to  be heard at all on transmitter of unknown power. The
path crosses Ukraine near Kyiv.

Also confirmed UT Saturday March 12 at 0230 on WRMI 9395, good S9/+10
into Bikedork Minneapolis KiwiSDR. From next week shifting to 0130.

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2129 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday March 12 at 0500 on WBCQ 4790 minus 16 Hz offset per Missouri
SDR = 4789.984; S9/+10 vs some CODAR there. From next week will be at
0400 immediately following ``Radio Angela`` bloc at 0200-0400. During
the Feb testing phase, WBCQ was appending some non-Angela programming,
and I expected more but seemingly only WOR now.

Also confirmed Saturday March 12 at 1700 on WRN North America webcast.
For some reason there is always a pregnant pause between WRN`s intro
of me, and me, but no biggie. Expect WRN will keep this at 17 UT until
Europe be on DST two sesquiweeks later come April; but check at 16 UT
March 19 just in case. Next:

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2129 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
March 12 from 2045 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, VG to nearby MO SDR. From next
week, one hour earlier from nominal 1930v UT.

Also confirmed UT Sunday March 13 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, only S7/S9
into Lubbock SDR; S8/S9+10 direct but not solid in noise level.
Otherness on 7780 is axually a bit better S9/+20 making me wonder if
the NE/NW antennas have already been swapped, but not the programming.
This airing stays at 0030.

Also confirmed UT Sunday March 13 at 0429 about 11 minutes into on
WA0RCR, 1860 AM, so started circa 0418, S9+10 direct vs high noise
level. From next week nominal 0315 UT start. 

Also confirmed Sunday March 13 at 1350 the 1330 on WMRI Europe, 9670
via Channel 292, Germany: inaudible at UTwente, but audible at Carlow,
Eire SDR, S9/+15 showing +20 Hz carrier offset. If this change to 1230
March 27, will it again collide with Vietnamese clandestine? Next:

steady S9+10 into nearby Noale SDR, no QRM.

Also confirmed Sunday March 13 at 2235 the 2230 on WRMI 5950! This was
deleted in the new sked dated March 13, so I hastened to delete me
from my sked too. Perhaps prolonged for one more time. VG into
Knoxville SDR. We hope to get back onto 5950 System L, sometime.

Also confirmed UT Monday March 14 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, S7/S9 into
Knoxville SDR.

Next WOR 2130 should be ready early UT Fri March 18 for first
broadcasts at 0130 on WRMIs 5850, 7780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7780, March 10 at 0200, WRMI has replaced Argentina relay
with Radio Svoboda = R Liberty in Russian of the USAGM, which refuses
to put it on any of our SW transmitters closer to Russia, e.g. ideally
situated in Germany. Continues for the hour all-talk, S9 into UTwente;
JBA S4-S6 into Pskov, Russia, SDR, next to Estonia near the western
border; someone in Arlington VA is already monitoring same, so I camp
on him. Meanwhile, Argentina remained on 5800. This deal was prompted
by crowdfunding campaign, like VOA at 2105 on 15770, but Jeff
indicates he`ll keep doing it no matter what.

0259 WRMI ID, 0300 into surprise beepery, seems unlike SW Radiogram
but only going by ear. I never hear any voice announcements, but the
sound changes at 0313; 0329 cut to music and WRMI ID; 0330 into a
gospel huxter with a heavy accent from Brampton, Ontario. That would
be Soteriah International Ministry, daily except UT Sunday. The
beepery came about without any notice or publicity that I am aware of.
I ask Jeff White and Kim Elliot about this, and they reply:

``Glenn: Actually it's a test that Kim prepared in four different
modes. The content is an article in Russian about the 75th anniversary
of the Russian service of the VOA. Jeff``

``Testing text modes in Russian. Via SDR in Russia, signal is too weak
to understand more than the occasional voice word. But our slower text
modes are decoding 100%. Screenshot attached. Kim`` 

I check again next night UT March 11 on 7780: again R. Svoboda opening
with its long-unheard interval signal. Not another beepery at 0300,
back to R. Slovakia International, in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD
OF RADIO 2129)

** U S A. 9390-9400, March 10 at 0709, heavy wideband noise at S8-S9,
almost blotting out TOMBS on WRMI 9395; almost as if deliberate
jamming, and not the sound of DRM nor Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Sat Mar 12 at 1552, WRMI in fill music rather than
TOMBS cult, supposedly sked this semihour only for Sabbath service,
but which is live? on not // 9980 WWCR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) 

** U S A. 15770, Sat Mar 12 at 2124, music on WRMI and not // 11720
VOA, so as expected, `Flashpoint Ukraine` not on weekends when nothing
ever happens. From Monday it`s moving to 1935-2000 on 15770 and
presumably still not on any of our own VOA frequencies.

7780, R. Svoboda in Russian is expanding to two hours at 0200-0400,
but not tonight, English presumably Slovakia on WRMI after 0300. To be
daily since not specified as M-F? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, March 13 at 2226, WRMI in English, S9+20/30 but quite
undermodulated. Scheduled at 2215-2230 Sundays is Voice of Truth --
with a name like that, beware! Something`s odd at Okeechobee (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7780, at 0330 various nights but not logged, a new gospel
huxter on WRMI, ``Soteriah International Ministry``, in English but
very heavy African accent hard to understand, encouraging immediate
tuneout. Nothing about it on programming page, but bought up a lot of
time on sked updated Mar 13:
Mon-Sat 0330-0400 7780, but what about R. Svoboda expanded to 0400?
Sat 1200-1230 5850
Sat 2200-2300 5850 or is it daily? blank rest of week
Tue-Sat 0000-0100 5950 
General search on that strange name reveals that Soteriah is Greek for
deliverance, i.e. another Christian concept. Maybe the same thing has
a place on disgraced FB, but stalled since 2014y!

https://www.facebook.com/Soteria-International-Ministries-566096896845170/
Tema, Ghana, is mentioned, which would account for the accent. Yet
another one obsessed with the godname Yahweh. There are some other
ministries with such a Soteriah name (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, March 14 at 1924, WRMI is S9+10 but undermodulated
with R. Prague in English as now scheduled; QRX for `Flashpoint
Ukraine` as VOA retimed it for 1935. First I try the PEI Kiwi SDR on
the 44-degree way to Europe, but JBA! Then the Maine SDR where it
inbooms S9+30: does not speak well for the PEI unit. I listen to VOA
via WRMI at 1930-2000 with news and FPUK; trouble is, this Kiwi times
out after 20 minutes, prompting reload but only get 10 minutes more in
max 30 min per 24 hours allowed.

15770, March 15 at 1935, VOA FPUK via WRMI is VG into Maryland SDR,
and sufficient S6/S7 into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7780, March 15 from 0200, WRMI with R. Svoboda relay in
Russian, but since Slovakia in English is still on 7780 after 0300, VG
into Maryland SDR, I asked Jeff White if R. Svoboda in Russian was
really expanding to 0200-0400 as per Shortwaves for Freedom info. He
replies:

``Glenn: No, Radio Svoboda in Russian is 0200-0300 and 0400-0500 UT on
7780. Ukrainian Radio in Ukrainian is 0500-0600 UT on 7780. And VOA
Flashpoint Ukraine is 1930-2000 UT [M-F] on 15770.``

Indeed, I do hear Svoboda again after 0400, another hour when USAGM
doesn`t care; and Ukrainian Ukraine --- could there be an English
segment? after 0500, hours when 7780 had been off the air. At 0509
March 15, 7780 is blocked at Tambov, but JBA at Pskov beneath heavy
pulsing, OTHR or jamming? At UTwente, 0514, 7780 is fair S9/+10 but
also with pulsing 7775-7800, OTHR or jamming? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5850, Mon Mar 14 at 2200, WRMI-12 is not on yet vs hi local
noise level while 5950 can be detected. Skedgrid shows *2200 but
apparently applies to Saturday only for Soferiah International,
African gospel huxter from Brampton, Ont. per System F schedule. Yet
System K sked shows 5850 starting at 2230 daily including Saturday
with different programming: can`t be both, and anyhow today, 5850 is
still not on by 2254. Something`s odd at Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 7780, March 16 from 0200, R. Svoboda via WRMI is JBA into
Pskov SDR. Hope it`s doing better elsewhere in Russia. 7780, resuming
Russian at 0400, is S9+20/30 into UTwente at first with heavy
clatterpulse noise, OTHR or jamming? No good at the other few
White/Red Russian SDRs after 0400; Bryansk is silent. Not audible at
Minsk; Khimki near Moskva has signal trace but silent. Tambov is
always totally blocked above 7 MHz hamband (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490.1v), UT Saturday March 12 at 0100, WBCQ webcast of
`AAAWWW`. Allan says in Fla it`s hot and pus-y, as it better be spelt;
he fried himself in the sun today. Then an ``aside``, complaining
about remotes and other electronic equipment being black, so you can`t
see them, read the labels: I`m 100% with him about that!

Angela gets to say hardly anything this hour; Allan is trying to keep
it non-political; but I gather that Putin wouldn`t dare to invade
Ukraine if their beloved leader T**** were still president, blame weak
Biden? [Huh?!?! T**** was and is Putin`s greatest fan, lapdog.]

Expects Putin to revive SW jamming. Objects to someone saying WBCQ is
``right-leaning`` -- it`s Free Speech! WBCQ is going after grants of
many millions of dollars to preserve and expand SWBC, reach
``subjugated`` countries such as Argentina and Brazil - ? 0117 doesn`t
know whether WLCR will add Russian or Ukrainian on 9330. 

0121, trimulcasting on 7490, 6160, 4790, does not give YOOLF but must
be new and live. Then reads long article from The Hill about the
revival of SW due to Ukraine crisis; including BBCWS adding 4 hours of
English on SW for Ukraine and Russia, 14-16 on 15735, 20-22 on 5875. 

[Good, but I suspect this of some publicity hype: surely could already
be well heard there if not directly targeted; but checking HFCC I see
those two transmissions now are the *only* ones in any language for
CIRAF zones 28E,39SW. It was already scheduled on 15730 far before and
after 15735 hours, but not any more?] 

0141 reads another article, source not given, about the Woofferton
transmitter site in the UK. Lauds Brits for not destroying it [--- but
what about Skelton and Rampisham?]. At WBCQ, vague plans for
transmitter upgrades this summer. 

0154 email includes notice that pirate Radio Free Naptown celebrates
50th anniversary of FCC raid with a special March 17 at 3 pm, via
www.rfnstreaming.com or check their website [how about an axual SW
pirate broadcast?? WTFK?]. Prayer and as usual JIP Hal Turner late
around 0201 as he is already talking (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4790, UT Monday March 14 after 0330, `Concert Hall` on WBCQ
Radio Angela, concluding Act I of Carmen --- I thought it was supposed
to be Act II of Barber of Seville this week; filled with some other
Carmen music until 0359. Now starts at 0200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490.1v), Mon March 14 from 2300, secret semi-replay of
`Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot` on WBCQ webcast now a real UT hour earlier.
When chopped off at 2330, `Camp Constitution Radio` starts without any
extraneous spot commercial inserted, nor was there one last week
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (12160), Sat Mar 12 at 1800-1829 during my lunch, WWCR #2
stream with `Talking Machine Show` of ancient lo-fi cylinders and
discs singing, not talking, à la Marion`s Attic on WBCQ but without
the personality: virtually the only WWCR program worth listening to,
beyond gospel huxters ad nauseam and far-right extremist talk shows.
BTW, CNN has yet to reschedule, AFAIK, their exposé of Alex Jones,
which was blown away by BREAKING NEWS re Ukraine. Rechecking the WWCR
webskeds, as of March 1, this is still the *only* airtime for TMS
among the four 24/7 transmitters. From next week, of course, at
1700-1729 due to the imposition of DST and WWCR`s acquiescence despite
supposedly being for an international SW audience only; will their
program skeds show 1-hour shifts immediately effective March 13, i.e..
a 5-hour difference between CT and UT? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9475, March 16 at 1445, WTWW-1 surprisingly active on a
non-Sunday Wednesday, S9+20/30 with SFAW, so should 5085 WTWW-2 also
be running? No (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9275, March 14 at anytime, still no signal from WMLK; we can
wait forever for these gospel huxters finally to get their brand new
transmitter on the air. It`s been very slow-going, but a new 40-second
audiovideo dated March 11, 2022 is up on their disgraced FB:
https://www.facebook.com/www.wmlkradio.net/videos/successful-load-test-of-the-step-start/520841509763992/
whatever that means: no narration, just menacing location sound. Only
3 views so far, including me? who cares? Another noisy AV shows
demolition of building (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1670, March 15 at 0655, `Black Information Network` ID among
the QRM. Per this it can only be Macon:
https://www.binnews.com/stations/
and linx to https://macon.binnews.com/
where the callsign is invisible until the very bottom fine print:
WMGE, as also in NRC AM Log, but CoL is really Dry Branch, Georgia,
why? DB is unincorporated, just SE of Macon but around the transmitter
site. Anyway, unusual here with 1670 dominated by WOZN Wisconsin, and
the off+frequency new Mexican (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** YEMEN [non]. 11860, March 16 at 2227, surprised to hear some ME
music here, no Martí and even less jamming. Also overcoming the JBA
parasitic spur of RHC 11850 matching the one in the clear on 11840.
Aoki & EiBi show Martí off at 2230; Aoki has Republic of Yemen Radio
in a 2-hour break 2200-2400; but EiBi and WRTH show this target
broadcast as 24 hours, presumed via SA`UDI ARABIA (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7110 LSB, March 11 at 0536, UTwente still tuned here for
Ethiopia or non intruding broadcasters as in previous report, but no
longer any sign of that, off or outfaded into daytime? Instead, good
signals of QSOs in Russian, still past 0610. No callsigns heard
however, so not real hams? ``Priyom`` frequently which apparently
means ``cambio``; literally ``reception`` i.e. I am ready to receive
you. Pretty sure it was regular Russian at first but later maybe
involved some other Slavic language. I hoped someone could tell us
what they were talking about, but no replies to my inquiry (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9370, March 15 from 1900, R. Svoboda in Russian, new
crowdfunding-supported relay since USAGM is not interested. Tambov SDR
in Russia blox SW above 7.2 MHz, but Pskov is getting this. Before
1900 it was VOA Pashto as scheduled via Thailand, and a SAH from the
Svoboda carrier on a few minutes earlier. After brief VOA s/off
without YDD variations, only R. Svoboda from somewhere. This is S7-S9
different strength and slightly different offset than VOA was. 1905,
`Radio Svoboda, novosti``. I can`t get TDOA to work but don`t trust it
anyway; so whence? Maybe Armenia like preceding hour on MW 1395
certainly was, q.v. I don`t know why some assume 9370 be via WRMI but
Jeff White confirms it is not and he does not know where 1395 comes
from either. 

Note, here`s which side the Pskov SDR is on as emblazoned on its page:
``Make peace not war! The Ukrainian army has been killing people in
Donbass for 8 years. Pskov, Russia``. But Tambov SDR is noncommittal
textually, just blocking (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9517-USB, March 10 at 0711, weak 2-way, in Spanish?,
intruding (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15300, March 14 at 1514-1514.4*, JBA signal with heavy
Doppler flutter, i.e. horizontally in frequency, not just vertically
in strength. Only one signal, not two beating, when chopped off air
abruptly. Nothing between 1500-1600 in HFCC, Aoki or EiBi. In these
entire skeds only a handful of transmissions ending at ``-1515``: 7510
KTWR Korean; Chengdu, China on 7225, 6060; Kunming on 7210; none of
which seem likely on 15300. No other signals nearby on 19m with such
flutter, presumably close to trans-polar (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 28460 USB, March 12 at 1557, CQ contest JBA from an LU
station, i.e. Argentina, but can never copy entire call; another on
28467 USB. Just noted here to remind that 10m can be open for T-E
propagation; yet no show from any CW beacons around 28.2-28.3 MHz,
domestic sporadic E, or DX F2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

TIPS FOR RATIONAL LIVING

What Can We Learn from the War in Ukraine?
Four erroneous and dangerous premises have been accepted in current
international relations.
Juan Antonio Blanco Miami 10 Mar 2022 - 17:40 CET

"How did we get here?" Jake Tapper asked CNN on Sunday, March 6. His
answer was honest and accurate: it has been two decades of misguided
optimism and appeasement by Western leaders, of different parties,
eager to ignore Vladimir Putin's grave misconduct inside and outside
Russia.

In the end, Tapper asked whether any lessons had been learned from all
this. He left the answer up in the air, to be pondered by viewers. I
don't think so.

To correct these errors, it is not enough to point them out. Rather,
it is necessary to understand the premises — also mistaken — that
spawned the West's indecision, confusion and weakness vis-a-vis its
main enemies. And it is not only with Russia that mistakes have been
made, but also with Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, China, and its
disgraceful non-state allies (including international terrorism and
organized crime). 

To answer Tapper's question, I think it is necessary to reconsider at
least four false and dangerous foreign policy premises that have been
accepted over the last two decades by important open societies....
