WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST update Feb 29 Hi Glenn, my latest Hitlist update. https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm 1) Cuba - Habana R: Added entries for this station as has been periodically relayed on 5025 kHz in place of R Rebelde {but maybe no more, its anniversary past? gh} 2) Taiwan - RTI: Updated link to latest RTI Programme Schedule (New programme schedule since 18 Feb) 3) ~Aggregator - World Radio Network: Updated links to point to B-23 schedules The next update is scheduled for mid March. Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe UNIDENTIFIED. 3200, March 1 at 0726, S9+25/30 of open carrier until 0728.5* Suspect HAARP Alaska, which has been testing on 3250, and earlier 5800, 6800, 7000?, 4600, 5400 as mostly monitored by Walt Salmaniw; but I hear only dead air, no tones. Some of his earlier reports to the WOR iog: ``I suspect HAARP is on 7000 right now with a whopping S9+40 signal on all my antennas into Masset at 0447 tune-in. A huge unmodulated carrier. Massive! Can't think what else it could be. Walt`` ``An interesting pattern emerged on 3250 after going off for a few seconds at 0630. Carriers were noted strongly also on 3100 and 3400, and weakly below on 2950! Very interesting, for sure! Wish they'd announce the experiments a bit more to understand them! 73, Walt`` This includes a schedule of times and frequencies for tests Feb 28-Mar 3 UT, with some but not all the frequencies reported: https://ei7gl.blogspot.com/2024/02/notice-upcoming-haarp-ionospheric-tests.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ALASKA. HAARP testing March 2: highest frequency publicized, 9600 with open carrier, at 0240-0255, at first direct, then via KFS remote where waterfall shows it accompanied by carriers on 9594, 9606, 9612, and all four go off at 0244, back on at 0245, etc. 5800, another frequency possible until 0900: at 0737 rapid CW beeps at rate of about 10 per second, perhaps HAARP direct. I wonder if it was on 5800 earlier despite WRMI? MHz frequencies publicized for the final night of the current series, UT Sunday March 3 at 0200-0800: 2.8, 3.25, 3.3, 4.1, 5.4, 6.8, 9.6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ALASKA. HAARP tests on final night UT March 3, via KFS omni, from 0448 nothing found on higher frequencies until 0451 reaching 3250 with sweeps upward every 20 seconds with pauses. Makes nice symmetrical pattern on waterfall of diagonal lines each side of 3250 out to about 3190/3310. By 0536 longer sweeps with no pauses, still restarting every icosasecond. There`s a weak line on 3215 which must be WWCR: I tune there briefly and can hear the sweeps going thru it. Finally off at 0603*. Strictly-SWBC editors may be inclined to throw this and my 9600, 5800 logs out, but I point out they concern ute intruders into broadcast bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Mar 2 at 2341, LRA36 is underway, S7/S9 into Argentine SDR with music, 2342 contact info starting with whatsapp, also says every Saturday on their Collins HF80 transmitter -- searching shows that was a 1 kW solid-state. Music, 2348 ID; 2358 repeat exactly same announcement as at 2342 so it`s canned, and stops by 2400*, not another hour this time. I had reconfirmed the JBA reduced carrier by stepping down in USB to 15475.5 or so (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL [and non]. 4985, Feb 29 at 0720, no signal from R. Brasil Central. I can normally detect its JBA carrier vs RTTY on plus side. More and more S Americans are disappearing. 4885 R. Clube de Pará still gone; 4940 no 4940 from Colombizuela; the only carrier still there, 4810 from R. Logos, Perú (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL [and non]. 4985, March 1 at 0725, JBA carrier again audible from presumed R Brasil Central, unheard last night. Only other 60m SAm signal the 4810 Perú carrier; 4940 Venezombia still absent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA [and non]. 353 MCW kHz, Feb 29 at 0734, dash and PG, 25 watt ND beacon from PortaGe-la-Prairie, Manitoba, new one for me; 944 miles so 37.76 miles per watt. Also audible the usual only 353, LI, 400 watts from LIttle Rock AR. 258 MCW kHz, Feb 29 at 0726, ZSJ, 1000 watts from Sandy Lake, Ontario (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 15034 USB, March 6 at 1843, Trenton Military with a report received from Shearwater, Shearwater. Had not run across it here nor on night frequency 6754 USB, such as March 6 at 0729, for several days, so wondering if gone again. May be irregular. At 2318 check, not heard on either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, Feb 29 at 0722, R. Rebelde missing again. Something`s always wrong at wRadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2232) ** CUBA. 6000, Sunday March 3, RHC still on at 0745 with music, probably in order to Esperanto at 0800 but I`m zzz before then. 15140, Sunday March 3 at 1610, RHC Esperanto S7/S9, spoken rapidly as if by a ``native`` YL, but primary frequency 11760 is off. I think it was on before 1600. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15230, March 4 at 2313, Chinese music! S9/+10 with good modulation, found here after missing from 13650 at 2312, so on WRONG frequency, this CRI `Portuguese` relay which reliably for years has been nothing but - the same? - fill music day after day. Certainly not // 11760 RHC Spanish which at 2305 was crackly and squealy. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Recheck at 0121 March 5: 15230 is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, March 5 at 0731, R. Rebelde with S9+40/50! of dead air in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15230, March 5 at 2259, checking direct, RHC is off, but so is 13650 the CRI music channel which was on 15230 yesterday. 15140 is however running late with RHC Spanish, S6/S8 with squeal. Next check via Maryland SDR at 2338: 15230 is on at weak S5/S7 but only traces of talkmod at peaks. 15140 now off. 13650 Chimx now on, S7/S9. 11760 RHC Spanish S9/+10. Somethings` always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, March 6 at 2000, no signal from RHC. So much for that English hour. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15230, March 6 at 2317, RHC only S2/S6 direct, sup/torted talk presumed Spanish or maybe Portuguese; 13650 CRI `Portuguese` music only is back to normal. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11740-11780 approx., March 6 at 2319, RHC with wideband noise again obviously out of the central 11760 transmitter reading S9+10/20 direct in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT [and non]. 9899.953, March 4 at 1846, extremely distorted talk and music with whine, S9+15/35 into UTwente, no doubt R. Cairo during Turkish at 17-19 UT. As first reported at 1745 by Dr Hansjoerg Biener, then by several others in the WOR iogroup. Had been totally off air for several days supposedly fixing things, but back now as awful as ever. Mod stops abruptly and carrier off a few sex later at 1900*. I quickly retune UTw to next sked frequency, 9410 for 19-20 German, but no show in a few minutes. I break for lunch. Recheck *1930 open carrier on 9410.000, something else? 1933* off again uncovering some strange noises nearby. Instead of 9410, this hour ending on 9889.954 at 1857, same strength and horrible distortion as 9900 had. 9890 at 2000 timesignal and off uncovering KSDA in Korean. 2002 now Cairo is back on 9900, distorted and splattering down to 9890, in presumed French. Also with tones as if audio mixing from some utility service. ``9900`` also sked for 2000-2115 French, 2345-0200 Arabic and Spanish; will 9440 English 2115-2245 also be back like this? No, nothing there at 2156, but 9900.004 is still on with open carrier S9+5/15 and beepery. I think emissions after 2245 have been gone for a longtime. Instead of something like Portuguese filling the 2245-2345 hour, that`s always been sked obviously via another transmitter, at 2215-2330, on 9885. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9440-, March 6 at 2125, no signal into UTwente from R. Cairo. So much for that English sesquihour. Something`s always amiss at Abis, egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 7295-7300-7305, Mar 2 at 0733, DRM noise, another TDF test (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ITALY [non]. 7290, Friday March 1 at 1919, checking what IRRS is running in the SW slot it removed from WOR some months ago: `Flashpoint Global Crisis` from VOA, story about some virus, not about Ukraine any more, where not enough was happening? to keep that in the title. Note: WRMI is still running `FGC` at 1935; is that its `live` time on VOA itself? If so, is the episode on IRRS really from yesterday? After lunch, at 1951 referring to globalresearch.ca and Canadian items, something about Calgary and fluoridation. S8/9+15 into UTwente, best on LSB to avoid 7295 ChiCom ACI. At *1957 more ChiCom ACI hits from below, 7285, making IRRS unlistenable even by narrowing bandwidth to 3 kHz. 1959 IRRS s/off referring to continuing on MW 1323 is chopped off by SW site, Bulgaria or Romania? at 2000* before it`s finished. But later at 2130 no signal on 1323 during WOR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, March 5 at 1638, JBA carrier, implying the pirate Hikari FM is still running from Sonora or Arizona on its signature off-frequency. As Rick Barton reports from AZ: ``Pirate --- 2/25, 1730, 11515/AM [nominal]. Another day of Hikari FM. Very unusual sounding music, just under S9 but mostly undermodulated. During frequent rechecks (incl. 1835), playing more J-pop sounding stuff, like often heard on Radio Nikkei 2. Heard most of the day on numerous rechecks. Logged Fair/Good on Drake SW8, Slinky (20 ft.) -- (Barton-AZ)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 15409.981 AM, March 4 at 1652, via Missouri remote, Station YHWH is S5/S7, JBA undermodulated with the intonations of Josiah Elias occasionally recognizable; tnx to tip from Rick Barton, AZ, who had him at 1630. I had not noticed him in routine bandscan direct a few minutes earlier. 1710 QRM from Spanish 2-way on 15413-USB, see unID. Still trace of YHWH carrier by 1730 but no audio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Ken Zichi replies in great detail to this log of mine: ``267 MCW kHz, Feb 26 at 0729 UT, HET, 25-watt NDB at HenryEtTa; but better copy tuned to 265 USB. In 2007y someone reported it on 263. Occasionally noted but not always logged, JBA vs noise level. RNA and DXinfocentre.com show it the only 267 anywhere!`` Altho I`m DXing these only by ear on my own regular radios, non-SDRs. ``This 'what frequency is it on' is a source of confusion for many --- but it has a simple explanation. An MCW signal consists of a carrier and an audio tone (the CW). Audio tones, as you may remember can generate 'harmonics' so a 1 kHz tone will also 'sound' at 2 and 3 and sometimes even 4 kHz. NOW -- imagine if you were able to 'see' radio waves, and looked at the radio spectrum. If you did that you would 'see' not only the 'carrier' at dead zero, but also see the code 'tones' at 1 kHz above and if it is full AM MCW also below that carrier. If the signal has 'harmonics' present you will ALSO see code peaks at 2 kHz and maybe even more remote away from that carrier. NOW imagine you set your radio to only receive a TEENY TINY slice of the radio spectrum as many people do to reduce noise when tuning CW. I mean, the rest of the spectrum isn't sending any useful info so why not filter it out? If you tuned in wide bandwidth AM none of this is 'obvious' but the minute you narrow down the bandwidth the details come screaming to your attention. NOW tune the radio to EXACTLY the carrier (267 in this example). What do you hear? With a narrow bandwidth, you hear the solid tone of the carrier and that's it. NOW, keep that bandwidth narrow and tune the radio instead to 266 or 265 -- NOW you get the code, To add to the confusion, if your radio is AT ALL 'off channel' when you TUNE to 265 you may really be tuning to 266 --- well I think you see what is happening. But even if your radio is 'dead on' if you tune to the 'carrier', you will get nothing. Tune slightly lower or higher and voila, there's the code with much better copy. A photo of the spectrum from an SDR (so you actually CAN 'see' radio waves!) may help (the one I can find quickly is a 400 Hz tone rather than 1 kHz but the principles are the same.): {visible in WOR iog} Note the radio is 'tuned' to 325.430 (+250 Hz) kHz. The station VV was broadcasting on 326 with an 'audio tone' of about 400 Hz (Most US stations use around 1000 Hz) and unlike most Canuks they used DSB rather than RCUSB modulation so that 'lower' sideband is also there 'peaking' at 325.6 kHz. If you look at the 'waterfall' you'll actually SEE the 'Dash Dot Dot Dot' code drawn out vertically on the screen but NOT at 326 kHz where the carrier is. THAT is just a solid line. The code is offset from the carrier at 325.6 and 326.4 kHz. Does this clear up why an MCW station may 'appear' somewhere on the radio dial other [than] the carrier frequency? [Indeed it will NEVER actually appear on the carrier -- that is a solid tone and not the code you're looking for.] The code will be 'offset' from the carrier by a specific amount depending on the tone sent. Those 'offsets' can be as distinctive as fingerprints and you'll note them listed in the RNA database. 73 //Ken Z`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. See YEMEN [non] ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5010, Feb 29 at 0722, TOMBS via WRMI, usual VP signal, and also 5890, TOMBS via WWCR, usual VG signal: both these are scheduled overnight only on weekends but this is Thursday: a Leap special? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5950, Sat Mar 2 at 0735, Alex Scourby with Bible reading on TOMBS, this WRMI usually off at this hour, now // 5850; and after considerable delay, // 5890 WWCR which is sked weekends only. Outdated System L program sked shows nothing after 05 UT; but the transmitter sked for WRMI-8 on 5950 shows TOMBS nightly after 0700. 5950 is on 355 degrees, same as 9395 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Mar 1 at 2300, token English from SNR, VG direct S9+10/20. Before news, preview about interview with Dr Lindsey Stonebridge, biographer of Hannah Arendt, and later, Beirut correspondent about Spanish people living in Lebanon. But at 2313 check the topic is drawbacks, crisis concerning social media (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Sunday March 3 at 1542, JBA carrier presumed REE to North America, an abject failure of frequency management, winter after winter. On weekends starts at 1500 instead of 1900, when all-dayside path finds 9 MHz well below the LUHF, duh. First hours need to be on much higher band, like 17855 which presumably resume once A24 start, and from *1400. Then they will run that into the night, facing a reverse proplem. Now, 12030 to ME is fair and *much* better even tho off the back, while the other two, 17715 & 17755 are more audible than 9690. 1500 on 9690 could also be CRI in Bengali via Kunming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Monday March 4 at 2300, VG direct, token English from SNR, only Amy Egan in studio today, previewing feature about Arts Week 6-10 March. 2302 news starting with cold wave, snow expected, fires killing apartment people in Valencia, unemployment rate falling. 2309 ID and interview, a separate `Hybrid Arts Week` March 7-10 taking place informally in a hotel, has been going since *2016y (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Mar 6 at 2300, token English from SNR, VG direct. Amy previews main topic: jamón ibérico, going to visit a farm with a herd of 120 special pigs. 2302 news, including scandal for the socialist government about a 20 megaeuro contract for COVID masks; some other scandal; drug runners killed two guardias civiles in Cádiz; art exhibition. 2311 the pig story I care not to hear (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.002, March 1 at 2259, JBA carrier from VOT direct vs noise level. By 2325 I`m on UTwente, where it`s S9+30/35 and measured, `Weekly Analysis` concluding, something about Ukraine. 2326 multi-lingual ID 2-minute filler reel; meanwhile, understation CCCCCCI clearly audible. 2329 sounds like a `Folk Tale`, music. 2342 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, music. 2347 `That`s Why` about physical activity and health, voiced by the badax, so fortunate to have made out that much: it`s not just her heavy accent, but her modulation is not crisp; music. 2352 the canned s/off, English schedule with all-wrong times in local UT+3 but called UTC. No one at TRT has ever noticed how wrong this is, or if they have, do not care. This recording should be destroyed!!! Then only 6 notes of IS until chopoff a bit before 2354* uncovering XJRTV from EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.005, Sat Mar at 2314, VOT English not off the air, S9+40/45 into UTwente, with `Energy Agenda`; rechex: 2323 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2331 ending `Turkey`s Geomarked [sic] Products`. 2332 ``always-by-your-side`` promo while 6CI understation, music. 2353 s/off as if the 1330 broadcast only: something`s always awry at Ankara. 2354 IS; 2356 restart IS with German ID: something`s always erroneous at Emirler; chopoff at 2356.4*, no finesse, uncovering XJRTV, std denunciations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Sun Mar 3 at 2300, NO signal from VOT into UTwente and no XJRTV either which doesn`t come on until circa 2311. Instead, VOT English is still stuck on 9610.008, which was supposed to stop by 2230 after the previous English hour. Something`s always erroneous at Emiler, zzzz. 9610+ is VG S9+25 into UTwente, and can`t hear CNR understation in Mongolian this time. Same hour I`m listening to the final FTIOM on WBCQ, so checking this from time to time or juggling them both. 2320 plug TRTWorld.com for world news in 41 languages. 2325, `Letterbox` is just starting with contact info. Presenter appears to be reading all the `letters` cold, so he stumbles around about pronunciations, and picking out some of their comments. A little more preparation would be professional but he certainly comes across as casual. Most are requesting QSLs, and many send or enclose postcards which he describes, from: Italy, Japan, China, Allen Dean in England, China, Australia. Nothing from USA or Hemisphere West; I don`t think I missed any. Time`s up by 2346 so a loving goodbye, music, ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, music, 2354 ``always-by-your-side`` promo. 2355 late s/off for the 13635 at 1330 only, and IS. 2356 German IDs interspersed. 0000 March 4 timesignal, s/on extraneous German and usual program with same music liners as in English, still going at 0038. Off by next check 0053, uncovering the much weaker but more accurate ChiCom on 9610.001. The wrong frequency for German is supposed to be 5960, not 9610!

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2232 monitoring: confirmed UT Wednesday March 6 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20 into Maryland SDR. From next week with DST, this shifts one real UT hour earlier to 2330 UT Tuesdays. Not confirmed Wed Mar 6 at 1520 the secret 1500 on WRMI 9955, instead some misc. undermodulated music, same as on webcast. Skedgrid always showed this Thu at 1500 but was really on Wed instead of FAD, in Dec, Jan, and most of Feb until last week. At 1530 when RAE in French is sked, instead nothing but continuous multilingual RAE IDs - like this slot has been for weeks, months - a total loss! At 1600, 9955 via Maryland SDR goes to gospel huxter, while webcast splits away to DW Africa, presumably from WRN, past 1630 but about 1637 cut to more misc. music fill; and at 1700 into NHK Newsline. Presumably also from WRN but WRN IDs are never to be heard. BTW, I notified Jeff about missing Xmtr 2 and Tuesdays on the skedgrid and says he has restored them, unknown how that could happen. WOR 2232 confirmed Wednesday March 6 at 2030 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.001, S9/+15 into UTwente; following ADDX in German, but after 2000 there was ham news in Amerenglish. Also confirmed Wednesday March 6 at 2200 on WBCQ 7490-, JBA direct recognizable as me; slightly better 2227 during eclipse info, so is correct episode. Due to imposition of DST March 10, from next week for 8 months will air one real hour earlier at 2100, further into daytime absorption probably audible only via nearer remotes, webcast. Next: 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S {confirmed} 0230 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW [from next week: 0130] {confirmed} 1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9955 anomalies of WRMI: March 5 at 0807 is off the air, normally all-night with TOMBS, while 9395 & 9455 are propagating. At 1630, 9955 is still on but JBA, gone by 1640 recheck. Turnoff time for this varies widely. WRMI-3 skedgrid shows 9955 daily until 1600 with RAE French at 1530, but whenever checked it`s been nothing but continuous ID fillers; and shows extended to 1700 only on Sats with TOMBS. However, System B program sked shows until 1630 switch to internet only with WRN after 1600 daily except TOMBS on Sat. And this does not match the even more outdated System E = TOMBS sked. Furthermore, the Xmtr 3 sked of 9955 now shows at 0500-1100 it`s only Sat & Sun with TOMBS, a recent change? if correct. Note there will be further confusion from March 10 with the imposition of DST. This causes some WRMI Systems to move programming one real hour earlier, staying on ET = EDT instead of EST, while others stay on UT with no changes. Note that this affects Systems, whatever transmitter/frequency they may employ at any particular time. Also we note that there is now NO column for Transmitter 2 which has been eliminated completely. And transmitter 1 on 7730 for Latin America is totally blank 24 hours. Nor is 7730 assigned to any other Xmtr. So is it off the air or not? 7730 still shows for numerous program sked entries in several Systems including E = TOMBS. Seems like I tuned across it just last night. Very unfortunately, WRMI skeds are always rife with inconsistencies, self-contradixions. Oh2, looking at the skedgrids as displaying at 1900 UT March 5, the TUESDAY column is MISSING FROM ALL SYSTEMS!!! Just like the Transmitter #2 column. Still so at 2335. What a mess - until I checked the headers, I thought WOR at 1500 on 9955 was finally displaying correctly on Wednesday instead of alleged Thursday. It`s now in the third column from the left, but that`s Thu since there is no Tue for the second (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) {follow-up in WOR monitoring above} ** U S A. 5130+v, Feb 29 at 0347, still no signal of `All Trump All The Time` as WBCQ must be censoring the Dear Leader! Hi. Now renamed `No Trump None of the Time`. Ditto at 0721, 1740 chex of NH remote. I also check 3265 & 4790 as possible alternates, nothing either, but 6160- still very audible with TOMBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2232) ** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` WBCQ chex, UT Sat March 2 from 0038 into Rochester SDR: 3265, off 5130.355, S7/S9, ATATT back on air after a week, break for ID still as ``Radio Angela`` 6159.933, TOMBS, S9+5/10 7489.973, FKB, S9+15/20 9330.000, WLCR PP, S9+10/15 At 0100 on 7490, ``the following episode of AAAWWW originally aired on February 23, 2024``, i.e. last week. Never mind (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. (7490v), Sun Mar 3 at 2300-2400, enjoyed `From the Isle of Music`, finale on WBCQ. I`m glad it was on SW, but in reality, much more convenient and better `reception` here via webcast, even tho any originally stereo music still came thru as mono. Lots of short pieces and announcements by Uncle Bill. Plans to resume in April via some European SW transmitter, where he expects more support; and we could still pick it up by remote. I assume same applies to his alternate show, `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot`. I wonder what will be in this slot from next week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) {UBMP March 17 at 2200 he says} ** U S A. 5085, March 1 at 0519, WTWW-2 is still on with music, and ID as `Ancient Word Radio`, again at 0529 and off abruptly at 0533*. Apparently flexible. I thought they were finishing at 0500, thus choice of 0500 UT Saturday for resuming WORLD OF RADIO. Perhaps a dry run for that, 24 hours earlier on UT Friday. Also back on air before 2330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 5000+, March 1 at 0725, NO broadcast signal at all just above WWV, all off: USA 5010, 5050, 5085, 5130.3v; Cuba 5025. Also, unlike last night, Thu, TOMBS gone again from 5890 WWCR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Feb 29 at 0717, still absent RV, nor on 7890, 9960 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2232) ** VANUATU. 7260, March 1 at 0732, RV back on with weak talk after missing several nights. Also reported around now by Chuck Albertson, Eric Fetters-Walp, Manuel Méndez and Zacharias Liangas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, March 2 at 0733, RV not off the air but with SSB QRhaM due to some contest (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VATICAN [and non]. 13830, March 3 at 1529, VR IS, S9/+25, the SSOB except for USigs it`s between, 13820 & 13845; and little else lower in band. 1530 ``Laudetur Iesus Christus``, Horn-of-Africa music and ``Ye--`` s/on Amharic, mentioning kHz, meter-band and Ethiopia. Soon matched // 15565. HFCC shows both SMG site, 250 kW, 113 & 135 degrees. So strong here unlike any other Eurosigs on band again raises the suspicion they are mistakenly aiming backwards USward or at least not suppressing any back-radiation. Swahili follows at 1600, when 15565 is still SMG but 13830 switches to Madagascar now really aimed USward beyond, but at 1609 check, 13830 is much weaker VP, while 15565 is S6/S7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VENEZOMBIA. 4940, March 3 at 0741, Estación 4940 is on, S9+25 about equal to noise level, in Spanish. Had been absent a few late nights but not sure if totally off too, earlier in evening (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** YEMEN [non]. 11820, the horrible Sa`udi roarer for Rep of Yemen Radio is no longer heard, 1536 check March 3. Andy Reid, Ont., who tries to hear BBC on 11825 in the 23 UT hour, first reported 11820 cleared of noise as of 2344 UT Feb 29. Perhaps the Riyadh NavyDude visiting SBA/SRI got them to stop it. I never suggested the buzz on 11820 was a Cuban jammer, as Rick Barton misunderstood (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** YEMEN [non]. 11915, March 6 at 2320, S6/S7 of horrible noisebuzz into UTwente, *just like* we heard until last week on 11820, and before that on 11860, Sa`udi relay of Republic of Yemen Radio, since the Houthis don`t allow it inside Yemen. I bet this be their new chosen frequency, maybe running 18 hours a day, and indeed off after 2400 like 11820 had been, so what will it victimise here, per EiBi listings? On 11915 itself, nothing but CNR2 and RTI. 11920 nothing but one hour a week of VORW via France! 11910, VOK and NHK, all of those on limited skeds. At 2332 I check it into UTwente. In Sync mode if I punch in 11915 it displays 11914842.03 at S8. Rock steady while normal signals wobble at least a little down to the hundredth of a Hz. If I step up to 11920 and back to 11915, it then displays 11914840.44, again rock steady. Down to 11910 and back up to 11915: 11915201.72 - apparently the `lock` hits an exact spot within the noise bandwidth at the first instant and stix to it! At 0013 March 7 recheck, JBA signal on 11915 locking at UTwente but then gone immediately. Maybe CNR2 gearing up for *0030 via as site, which means Baoji-Sifangshan, Shaanxi, #724. Then I see that Aoki, not EiBi already lists 11915: 1755-2257 R. Saudi in Arabic from Riyadh, daily. Surely same transmitter but we can`t be positive the inaudible programming be Yemenish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED.
