GLENN HAUSER LOGS WEEKLY ROUNDUPS into one alfabetical file, posted early UT Thursdays; but I do not intend to issue separate weekly notifications: http://www.worldofradio.com/Hauserlogs.html ** ALASKA. 11755, March 24 at 1515, praise song in English, 1517 Russian announcement from KNLS, fairly holding its own against slightly stronger 11760 RHC; still at 1556+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ALBANIA [non]. 5800 // 9395, UT Wed Mar 25 tune in WRMIs at 0140, nothing but songs in unID language, Tirana as usual? Not for sure until 0159 a few notes of IS before RMI ID and onward. See also USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, UT Sat March 21 at 0100, RAE in English via WRMI: no news, whole program about a rock group, Almendra, on the exact 50th anniversary of their album. But that was in January 1970, so evidently a 2-month-old program repeated to fill, because: ``Argentina: "RAE ARGENTINA AL MUNDO --- INFORMACIÓN IMPORTANTE Ante la grave crisis causada por la pandemia del Covid 19 y que el Gobierno de la Republica Argentina ha decretado una serie de medidas excepcionales para atenuar sus efectos, RAE Argentina al Mundo emitirá la señal de LRA Radio Nacional." https://www.radionacional.com.ar/rae-nueva-web/ undated (via Dr Hansjoerg Biener 20 March 2020)`` My reply: ``So like Spain and probably more to come -- replacing external services with domestic programming. OK if this is really necessary due to workplace environments, etc. Doing away with foreign language services does NOT improve the situation, as their rationale implies, diminishing contact with the rest of the world. Glenn`` The ``Friday`` show should have included their DX Actuality program. Still no sign of RAE Spanish even if a domestic relay: see USA for another full survey of WRMI 0100-0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, UT Wed Mar 25 at 0100, RAE ATTW English relay via WRMI, opening a ``new edition via WRMI 9395 at 2 AM [sic]`` --- but subject is conductor Daniel Barenboim as one of ten legendary Argentines (well, at least born there), same evergreen edition we heard last week; only wish I had time to listen to it straight thru. RAE has supposedly closed down for COVID-19 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ARGENTINA [non]. See USA: WRMI ** AUSTRALIA. 11865, March 19 at 1325, S Asian song, 1330 RBA signing off until 1230 tomorrow. Per EiBi, the last quarter hour on Thursday would have been in Bengali (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 9665.9, March 21 at 2235, and about an hour earlier, no signal from RVM, which would be propagating if on, since 9630+ Radio Aparecida succeeds (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 218-MCW kHz, March 20 at 0610, dash and RL, ND beacon of 975 watts at Red Lake, Ontario. 223-MCW kHz, March 20 at 0611, dash and YYW, ND beacon of 1000 watts at Armstrong, Ontario. 245-MCW kHz, March 20 at 0612, dash and YZE, ND beacon of 1000 watts at Gore Bay, Ontario. None new here but pleased to be able to copy at least these hi-power ones vs all the storm and line noise, worse at the lower end of the LWB band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 9215, March 19 at 1351, Asian language unseems Chinese, not like CNR1 or Sound of Hope, but those are the only listees (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11462, March 19 at 0513, 5-digit spy numbers in Spanish and digibursts, S9-S7; absolutely nothing audible broadcasting on 11 MHz band, at least on my indoor longwire. EiBi shows schedule on this frequency is Tu/Th/Sa 0454-0520 & 0854-0920 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 6125, March 20 at 0358, Radio Martí above wall-of-noise jamming plugging USG policy on immigration; 0359 QSY announcement, pronto en 5980, 6030 y 7435. What? 5980 does not start until 0600, and it better not now! adjacent WRMI NHK on 5985. 6030 is buried in jamming, really on 7355 instead of 5980, and also 7435, both VG with midnight music hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) see TURKEY ** CUBA. 13620 & 13860, March 20 at 1401, RHC S1 JBA as leapfrog mixing products of 13700 & 13780, another 80 kHz beyond in both direxions; while no plain ole FMish spurblobs at all are emanating out of 13700. By 1403, 13780 has dropped to dead air at S9+30 while 13700 is still modulating S9+40, reducing what little audio croak out of the `frogs. By 1418, however, 13780 dead air has some just-barely modulation. BTW, this proves that 13700 & 13780 are now from the same transmitter site. Despite Aoki showing 13700 Bauta, not caught up with new 13780 but had ex-13740 at Bejucal. EiBi doesn`t list either 13740 or 13780, but 13700 as b for Bauta. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA, 13620, March 21 at 1525, RHC is JBA, // 13780 & 13700 of which this is a leapfrog mixing product; reverse on 13860 has something stronger blocking, VOA Radio Ashna, 1430-1630 via Woofferton UK. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, March 22 at 0633, R. Rebelde is S9+20 but suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. 5040, March 22 at 0634, RHC no English but S9+40 of air dead except for squeal, hum. 6145 is undermodulated, 6100 & 6060 good, 6000 off, but see unID. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13620, March 22 at 1501, JBA carrier, the RHC leapfrog mixing product of 13780 dead air over modulated 13700 another 80 kHz below. 13780 carrier remains on after 1504* of 13700, so 13620 then no longer exists. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13700, Sunday March 22 at 1503, bonus frequency for weekly RHC Esperanto, starting late, but chopped off the air at 1504* while continues on 11760 and stronger but distorted 15140. At 1502 they were all blabbing frequency list in Spanish bound to be incorrect. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13700 & 13780, March 23 at 1411, both RHC are OFF, so consequently, NO spurs or leapfrogs on this band! Still on are 15230 and extremely distorted 15140, and China relay on 15700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13780, March 24 at 1512, RHC still on in dead air, while 13700 is still modulating; no spurs at all. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15370, March 24 at 1858, RHC is S9+20/10 of dead air; next check 1952 is musicking. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, March 24 at 1900, RHC opening English, first broadcast of day, and as always this transmitter-frequency is awfully distorted. Don`t they notice or care? Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11880, Tue Mar 24 at 2330, RHC English with `DXers Unlimited` underway, Arnie talking about QRP antennas; mentions he [CO2-kaka] tried one with 4 watts on 14060-CW and made 3 contacts. His speech is fairly readable today, but MEGO subject matter of no interest here. Wraps up at 2338. 11880 is becoming reliable so I will not remark ``SAWA`` this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11850, March 24 at 2330, RHC is JBM with music // 11760, 11700, and distorted 11670; plus and minus the 11850 JBA spur carriers on 11840 & 11860. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 11950 is also on with separate Mesa Redonda TV soundtrack, S9+20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6060, March 25 at 0611, RHC is S9+30 of dead air in English; 6100 sufficiently modulated at S9+20, better than 6145; while 6000 and 5040 are off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13764, 13636, 13572, 13828 approx., March 25 at 1440, they`re back! After quite a break, the extremely distorted FMish spurblobs out of 13700 RHC transmitter. So bad I can barely tell that the original modulation is musical. These at approx. plus/minus 64 kHz multiples. Meanwhile, 13780 is off already. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15700, March 25 at 1446, CRI Plus relay is undermodulated and crackly; something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15120, March 26 at 0012, CRI Spanish relay is S9+10 but suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,, WOR) ** CUBA. 15730, March 26 at 0014, RHC in French is S9+10 and distorted; 5040, March 26 at 0014, RHC in Kriyol is S9+30, distorted and hummy as usual on this frequency. Kelka shows twojure mowvay a RHC (that`s Pidgin Creole) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ITALY [non]. 7295, March 23 circa 1845, end of the detestable Steve Bannon`s `War Room Pandemic` via IRRS, expecting a second hour which is not aired here; music fill until 1859 IRRS ID explaining that its transmissions are in ``compatible USB``, so best reception by USB tuning. This is NOT the case via current Romania (or Bulgaria?), but may have been years ago when they were really out of Milano! The only reason now to choose USB or LSB on these full DSB/AM transmissions is to avoid adjacent channel interference from the opposite side; of which there is plenty. All this via UTwente SDR. Even 7290 has splatter from 7280 - Vietnam listed, not 7285, as IRRS immediately jumped down to 7290 at 1900 for WORLD OF RADIO this Monday, socially distant 5 kHz from 7295 CRI Urumqi, East Turkistan, land of brainwashing Uighurs. Note: from next week in A-20, different situation with IRRS shows one UT hour earlier. Registered to jump from 7295 to 7290 at 1800, whatever the adjacents may then be (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9705, March 19 at 1345, Japanese talk, VP. It`s Furusato no Kaze via TAIWAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 800, March 25 at 0050, amid a TA carrier search including one on 801, gospel huxter in Spanish dominant here at least on the E-W longwire, despite KQCV OKC gospel huxtering in English. Again March 26 at 0042; got to be XEROK Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua as there are no USA SS:REL, at least not in the SW quadrant; SSS enhancement? Right around our LSS. Much of the night XEROK is VP or inaudible, with CKLW if anything besides KQCV to be heard. Originally 150 kW ND, one never knows how much power they really run at any moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO [and non]. Wolfgang Büschel reports: ``They have fixed the recent faulty transmitter in Mexico City D.F. now at 0210 UT on March 20 fine sound, heard canciones in Spanish language. 6184.992 kHz XEPPM and noted S=9+5dB signal in Cape Canaveral Florida remote SDR`` However, when I check 6185 at 0424, there`s a heavy SAH of about 6 Hz, with AWR Austria in Turkish; some music audible. After 0430 in clear at S9+10/20, music almost sufficient but still undermodulated compared e.g. to neighbor 6175 VOA Botswana (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6925.0-AM, March 22 at 0037, C&W music, S7-S9 undermodulated; briefly heavy QRM from 2-way on 6930-LSB. Then I am distracted by two more simulpirates on the 4 MHz band, q.v. At 0058 back to 6925, now S9+20 playing choral ``O, Canada``, 0059 SSTV beepery. Several logs here as unID, but a couple with ID CYOT: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,64454.0.html No view of the SSTV ID. So it`s ``Canadian`` -- or could be, which is why I always file these unknown location pirates continentally rather than countrily, not to overlook our northish neighbours. Off at 0105 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 4015-USB, March 22 at 0041, S9+20 of folk music, including lyrix ``Down on my luck``, ``Honduras, ``guns and money``, S9+10. Distracted by two simulpirates on 4175, 6925, qq. vv. Recheck just in time at 0048 to hear ``Wolverine Radio`` ID, more music; still going at 0107. Or something; this thread is rather confusing with some other IDs reported as WDDR: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,64455.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. Re: ``4015-USB, March 22 at 0041, S9+20 of folk music, including lyrix ``Down on my luck``, ``Honduras, ``guns and money``, S9+10.`` Sheldon Harvey replies: ``Glenn, on your logging above, the song being played here is Lawyers, Guns and Money by Warren Zevon, on of my favourite artists!`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 4175-USB, March 22 at 0044, S9+25 of rock music; 0100 live DJ announcement, ``X-FM, broadcasting to you from somewhere under the stars; it`s one o`clock zulu``, acknowledging reports; 0102 a strange show tonight since his computer died; going mellower now; address xfmshortwave@gmail.com mentions T-A reports; tnx to Mix Radio International at the controls --- so relayed by that one? ``East of the Rockies, but west of Normal`` (Illinois?); last two tunes will be by Bruces, Coburn and Springsteen. ``From somewhere under the stars.`` 0119 seems wrapping up over music, refers to HFU logs, requests; 0122 sign-off with 1:22 TC; e-mail address again; a request for some Tool(?), ``Music to the power of X``; one more greeting over music to someone in the wilds of Arkansas with a shiny loop antenna. Many many logs here starting at 2243: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,64447.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 25, turns out that KWTV OKC not decoding here was not due to DX interference, but low power. Reply, interchange with Jack Mills, Director of Engineering, March 19: ``Mr Hauser: Sorry you had reception issues yesterday but two antennas (old KFOR and old KOPX) were being removed from the tower we are located on. I had to put our signal on an auxiliary antenna that is lower on the tower. Attached is a pic of the work being done. We may have some signal issues this month and maybe next month while this work is being completed, but should be back to the main antenna each evening. Jack Mills, Director of Engineering KWTV - KSBI`` Mr Mills, Many thanks for the reply and explanation. Will look forward to everything back to normal. (And I suppose KSBI signal is not going to be improved?) Glenn ``We did lose 1/3 of the transmitter last week. I just now got it back up, it had High Voltage issues. Are you having better luck receiving it?`` I assume you are referring here to KSBI 23? No, it is still at the usual Bad level, insufficient. KWTV 25 however is back in solid; as of noon Friday, and I think also last night (Glenn Hauser, Enid, March 20, via WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non?]. Level 3 tropo blob over SW OK, and level 1 edge over OKC as far as Enid, leads to BAD TVDX signals on RF 20, 28, 31 and 35, March 23 circa 1500 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9395, March 19 at 1348, Brother Scare on WRMI has QRM from ute noise across both sides but slightly less with LSB tuning (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TAIWAN [non]. 5800 // 7780 // 9395 // 5010, UT Mon March 23 at 0200, Radio Taiwan Internacional via WRMI, opening Spanish program dated Monday March 16, with `Galería Cultural`. 5800 quickly cut off the air but the others continue. RTI tests were supposed to be last week only, so I suspect the automation has not been reprogrammed to resume `normal` programming. What`s next? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TAIWAN [non]. 5800, UT Tue March 24 at 0100, WRMI still replaying RTI relay test in Spanish, this one about the CV. 7780, UT Tue March 24 at 0200, WRMI replaying RTI Spanish relay test dated March 17, automatically from one week ago rather than restoring automation to previous whatever. See USA for another survey of what WRMI is really airing these hours on other frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TAIWAN [non]. 5800, UT Wed Mar 25 at 0100, RTI relay test via WRMI is *still* running in Spanish, and handily announces the original date in the opening, ``miércoles 18 de marzo``, so here`s another auto-repeating a week-old file. 9395 // 7780 // 5010, UT Wed Mar 25 at 0200, RTI Spanish yet again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TAIWAN [non]. See USA: WRMI ** TURKEY. 5960, March 19 at 2302, I can tell VOT is on today! But too poor in storm noise level to copy. We can hardly wait another dekaday until A-20 with the usual lift to 9830 and a real UT hour earlier, so it will seem to remain at the same local time in the studio? Not any more, Turkey`s last year observing DST was 2016y, per timeanddate.com, but old habits die hard. 9830 should propagate better, but as always will confront that constant RTTY from NAU Puerto Rico, unless they turn it off by 2200. The other English to North America will again be at 0300 on 9515, ex-0400 on 6125; and also USward at 1230 on 15450 ex-12035 at 1330. 6125, March 20 at 0400, Radio Martí has just quit but jamming prolongs, with VOT English becoming detectable under but would still be tough without the jam (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, March 20 at 2259, TRT IS fair-poor but averaging S9, 2300 opening English after timesignal which this time is 3.5 rather than 1.5 seconds late compared to WWV. Something`s always inaccurate at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, March 24 at 2347, VOT English to N America was on today! By now in post-IS loop, S9/+10 but noisy. Pause at 2356 restarting loop about to lead-in to German, but shortly cut off* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 13565-CW, March 21 at 1524, K6FRC, HIFER beacon from Patterson, California, is quite audible vs CODAR after many morning chex with none of it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

WORLD OF RADIO 2026 monitoring: NOT confirmed Sunday March 22 at 2130 on WRMI 7780, which has been reliable for many months; instead, rock music, good signal at Rockport ME KiwiSDR; checking WRMI skedgrid, it now shows yet another time for VORW Sundays at 21-22. However it also shows resumed an old Saturday-morning time for us, 1130 on 9955; to be confirmed, not by me, zzz. But it still also shows Wed 2100 on 7780, despite having been replaced March 11 by TIAMS; not certain what happened March 18. Three WOR times continue to show on the System D schedule between 21 and 22 UT but believed imaginary, on *no* frequencies. To be certain, check all possible WRMI frequencies, Tue 2130, Wed & Thu 2100. Still confirmed UT Monday March 23 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, and 30 seconds later after double-IDs, on 9395. But that`s not all! Also on 5800, which I was checking expecting something else. It`s synchronized with 9395 delay, not 7780. 5800 is good as usual but with squeal. Also confirmed UT Mon Mar 23 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, F-G via UTwente. Also confirmed UT Mon Mar 23 from 0302 on Area 51 webcast, and also WBCQ 5130 heard via Alex VA SDR, back on air after absent last night. Also confirmed UT Mon Mar 23 at 0345 the 0330 on WRMI 9955, fair S9 here. While it`s nice for everyone to have several chances of hearing WOR half-hours on Sunday evenings, I do wish some of these could be on Saturdays; when airtime is apparently consumed by higher-priority programming.

WORLD OF RADIO 2026 monitoring: Confirmed Monday March 23 at 1900+ on IRRS 7290, after a few FSN headlines, VG via UTwente SDR, just jumped down from 7295. Note: from next week WOR to be at 1800 instead on 7290. Also confirmed UT Tuesday March 24 at 0100 on WRMI 7780.

NOT confirmed, Wed Mar 25 at 2100 on WRMI 7780 tho still shown on sked, instead JBA music, presumed secret airing of TIAMS which started two weeks ago. Wed 2100 is also an imaginary time for WOR on System D with *no* frequencies. No, I do not find me on any other: 9395 RAE Italian, no doubt an ancient airing; 9455 Oldies; 9955 playing ``Wipeout``, 15770 TOMBS. Nothing on 5010, 5800, 5850, 7570, 7730. Confirmed UT Thu Mar 26 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, fair S9. Next WOR 2027 should be audible by early UT Friday March 27, first N/W Hemisphere airing at 2200 on 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5850, March 25 at 0610, WRMI is unusually off; no doubt because of distorted modulation I told them about a few hours ago. By next evening back on OK repaired, 0011 Slovak from RSI, VG S9+10, not distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, March 19 at 0510, WLCR via WBCQ-6 is S9+50 even on inside longwire due to storms, and splattering 9320-9340. 9330, March 19 at 2305, no such splatter, since it`s off the air again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5130, March 20 at 2351, this WBCQ is already on for music, so should also be on for the next hour of `Allan and Angela, Angela and Allan, Worldwide` as well at 7490.17 now with the FKB gospel huxter phoner. 7490.17, UT Sat March 21 at 0000, WBCQ `A&AA&AWWW` gets off to usual rough start with pause, WTO theme interrupted, but again they`re live from Deland of Fla, ``Studio Numero Nine``, delaying plan to return to Maine and do some transmitter work; only a few minutes into confirming date as 20 March YOOL 2020. Trouble is, they immediately start talking about COVID 19, which I`ve had enough of already all week+ from the major media; and I hardly need to hear his pious take on it being godswill, and faith will get us thru it. Recheck at 0050, drifted down to 7490.05 as reading 1710 pirate log from new FRW just out; then some e-mails and benedixion. (I believe John Carver has computer problems again so no version from him, at least not yet. If anyone heard any significant WBCQ info about programming, technical, future plans, etc., do tell.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5130, March 22 at 0049 and later, no signal from Area 51/WBCQ, nor later; rather, too much pirate activity. See NORTH AMERICA.

Both are on the same azimuth 355 degrees, same antenna type 805 in HFCC, and same power 100 kW. How can this be? Something`s unequal. Rated powers of SW stations are just that --- doesn`t mean they are really running anywhere near that level. Propagation is pitiful today so even the Superstation on 9330 is a JBA carrier, leaving 9455 as the SSOB! Yet at 18z WWV reports K index 0, solar flux 70, no storms past or future (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Pro-forma search of all possible WRMI frequencies, March 24 at 2154, finds no sign of WORLD OF RADIO, despite System B scheduling for Tuesday 2130 but with no frequencies shown.

Sounds familiar; first tune is ``Everything`s Coming Up Roses`` --- maybe keeping track of openers would cue us about reruns, unless considered a theme. Considerable distortion here at 0045 check, S9+45, and listening on webcast is not handy; recheck 0052, 5085 already back to rock music, so hardly exceeded 30 minutes this week from widely variable start time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5830, March 25 at 0610, S9+20 of dead air with some hum from WTWW-1; much stronger signal than neighbour 5935 WWCR, anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4840, March 24 at 0612, S9+30 of dead air from WWCR instead of TOMBS, but still modulating on 3215; 5935 DGS at S4-S9. 5890 not on air, nor should it be (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1539.96 approx., March 25 at 0035 UT, low audible het stix out vs KXEL 1540.00 et al., no doubt KGBC Galveston TX.

Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, March 25 at 0040-0053 UT, right across our LSS at 0047; starting at top end, as I have just got the KGBC het below 1540. 1584, 1575, 1539, 1521, 1511.99, 1503(2), 1485, 1467, 1458, 1431, 1422, 1305(2), 1296, 1215, 1179, 1107(2), 1053, 999, 936, 891, 882, 855(2), 837, 801, 774(3?), 747, 729, 711*, 693, 684+, 621 --- but none lower this close to sunset. Note 1521 where Saudi presumably still closes at 2230? Maybe it`s East Turkistan instead. First one, TA tipping me off was 1512, and I tried to measure it as a possible domestic spur. Lowest off-frequency in mwoffsetts is the megawatt Saudi at Jeddah on .992 or .993. Big het from 711 is by far the strongest, but not much modulation, at 0051, nor any timesignal audible at 0100. 300 kW from Morocco most likely; also hi powers in Egypt, Iran, and Spain has 25 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 711.00, March 26 at 0010, carrier hetting 710 KCMO has become audible unlike before 0000. Fades stronger, so at 0032 I can make out a SAHof 192/minute = 3.2 Hz. No modulation detectable. This time I also DF it on the DX-398 and it`s NW/SE, certainly not from Europe --- but the SAH may well be, such as Morocco. After last night`s report I found many more reports of this mystery in the IRCA iog, including: https://groups.io/g/IRCA/topic/72538278 ``Mark Pettifor 4:16am #7391 --- First noticed by Bill Frahm on Facebook. Looks like some kind of transmitter that's way off frequency, or accidentally transmitting on 711. By nulling, the signal seems to be coming from the direction of Cuba. Indeed, when tuning to the Key West SDR, it's quite strong, with a hum. No regular audio, just the hum (which I don't hear from my location). Attached is a screenshot of 5-minutes' worth of signal from my location here in northern Indiana (1020-1025 UTC), showing some audio artifacts on 60 and 120 Hz. This was on the south DKAZ, and Cuba on 710 was also coming in well at that time. Mark Pettifor, Goshen, IN, KC9DOC / en71ao`` ``Nick Hall-Patch 8:48am #7399 --- If it's a spur, it's widespread. Noted as late a 0630 UT in Victoria (also viewable on the respective DXFishbarrel), and seemed to be 711.000. At that time, I just assumed that it was Laayoune and tried to get audio, but didn't stay up late enough to see if it faded out at sunrise there. Nick`` Bill Whitacre 9:21am #7402 --- It was ‘in’ here [VA] ’til after sunrise. Be interesting to see when/if it ‘fades in’ tonight — here and there`` The only reason Radio Rebelde is on 710 is to block ``wacky`` WAQI, Miami; main one is 200 kW but there are 6 more across The Greatest Violator of Human Rights of the Antilles, ranging from 1 to 50 kW. It seems quite likely one of those is off-frequency; from a transmitter with exact 1-kHz step tuning. Or almost, earing the het compared to 720 WGN, this one seems slightly on the plus side tonight. Overall, not as outstronging as last night. BTW, as I was monitoring this, there was a burst of RF noise at 0052 --- sure enough, it`s my nearest street light igniting, horizon almost clear at sunset 0048 UT. Usually I notice when tuning on SW; quite wideband. Fortunately it diminishes as the light brightens (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED.

As for 774 which I reported with maybe 3 carriers beating last night, I would tonight also, but remember that before, there has been a spoiler in there, something local, unclear if receiver birdie or external, but even more offset below 774.000, matching something without any NDB ID, just below 387.0 of which 774 is 2 X. Previously, but not now, this has also been detected on X 3 = 1162, and X 4 = 1548, both of which could also be taken for legit 9-kHz bandplan signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 6000-USB, March 22 at 0635, very weak 2-way surprised to find here when surveying RHC, maybe Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 6950-LSB, March 22 at 0036, QSO in Spanish about antenna mathematical principles.
