WORLD OF RADIO SCHEDULES updated for North American DST season from March 9 http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS updated for North American DST season March 9, before confirmations http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST update Hi Glenn, my latest Hitlist update. https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm 1) Updated UTC offset notations for change to DST:  Cuba (Habana R, R Progreso, R Rebelde), USA (R Martí, V of America) 2) Turkey - Added a link to the TRT Global Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe ** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 10125 USB, March 6 at 0656, trace of ham QSOs with Oz accent, vs 10125 CW, HK3QQ with usual fraxured keyboard letters loop. First time in many months I`ve heard the SSB, from Australia, the only? country authorizing hams to phone on ``30`` meters. Never could copy any IDs in ragchews (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2285) ** BRAZIL. 4885, March 10 at 2348, no signal from R. Clube do Pará into three remotes, Pardinho, Brasília, Goiânia, nor a couple hours later. Checking because of this item in NASWA Flashsheet: ``4885 BRAZIL. Rádio Clube do Pará, Belém, 3.6.25. weak but in the clear here at 1010 well before the Korean fades in to take over the fqy a little later on. OM with extended talks in PP. Nice to hear again. Checked their website stream just to make sure and indeed // (Ralphus W Perry – IL) {Hasn’t been heard in some time. – Ed. Mark Taylor}`` Still nothing direct at 0638 March 11 on 4885. But happened to awaken March 11 at 1011 UT and found a signal on 4885, S9+5, mostly talk with some music bits, too weak to be certain of language but seemed more like Portuguese than Korean. Pará used to be all-night and should be on prime-time if serious. I`ve brought this to attn of Rudolf Grimm, who recently ran a list of active ZYs, not including this one. His reply: ``Hi Glenn, I'll take a look. I checked on the Rádio Clube do Pará website and found that the only frequency currently in use is FM (106.9 MHz). I remember reading a while ago about the deactivation of RCP for both medium waves (690 kHz) and the tropical band (4885 kHz). It was made official. But the website doesn't mention use of MW and tropical bands. There is no current positive reference on the Tudo Radio website, nor on radios.com.br. It only mentions FM transmission. Based on your information, the recent listening time of RCP in tropical waves coincides with the usual time of football matches in Brazil. {?? No, that was around 7 am local --- gh} However, there is one fact to consider in this aspect that you report: for some time now, we have had the occasional resurgence of Rádio Cultura de Araraquara, 3365 kHz (remember this station?), even after the deactivation of this frequency, on the days/nights of the broadcast of soccer matches of Ferroviária FC, the city's main sports team, only during the game times. At the end of the match, the 90 m transmitter was put back to sleep until the next match of this team. Today, March 11, the main team of Belém, Remo FC, plays tonight against the team Criciuma FC, in a match for the 2025 Brazilian Championship - Series C. It is possible that the frequency of 4885 kHz will be used extraordinarily. There is no reliable information. It is worth observing from 2040 UTC to 0200 UTC today, according to the portal: https://radioclube.dol.com.br/ 73, Rudolf`` 4885, March 11 at 2242, nothing on 4885 into Brasília SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 328 MCW kHz, March 7 at 0719 UT, dash and YTL, Big Trout Lake ON. Hadn`t heard this one in a long time. 346 MCW kHz, March 7 at 0725 UT, dash and YXL, Sioux Lookout ON. Also many more from USA, q.v., and UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 540, March 6 at 0733 UT, English discussion // 990 CBW, so this is CBK Watrous/Regina SK, seldom heard anymore enough to overcome XEWA et al. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 2598 USB & 2749 USB, March 12 at 0645 UT, NO signals from Canadian CG marine weather stations in NL and NS. DST did begin in most of Canada on March 9 same as the other 48 states, ha ha, and we had been hearing these after 0737 so it seems VCO, VCP et al., are sticking to UT scheduling. Rather than a real hour earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. Official SWL Channel of Gilles Letourneau, Québec, often activates on Saturday afternoon. I check him from time to time, but there is too much going on Saturday afternoons for me to follow one thing for 5+ hours, starting circa 2000 UT: https://www.youtube.com/live/RRzaF4LPGlE I happen to retune about 0110 UT March 9, and there he is ``dancing`` or rather ``handing`` or gesturing to ``Midnight in Moscow`` music. The whole shebang apparently shows him seated by his radios, chatting with participants, some of the 50K followers he has accumulated. That was apparently the final performance this week as the feed froze by 0112 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHAD [non]. 9535, March 11 at 0647, S4/S6 with flutter, music and talk in uncertain language but one of better signals on band. EiBi shows R. Ndarason International, in Kanuri via Woofferton UK, at 0600-0700. Similar signal quality on 9790, RFI from Issoudun (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 650 kHz, March 12 at 0702 UT, very occasional JBA whooping under WSM. There are a Progreso and a Rebelde on 650 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15230, March 7 at 1605, RHC S7 but JBM, still on but usually off by 1600. SAWA = something`s always wrong at - (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GERMANY. 9670, Saturday March 8 at 1800, `From the Isle of Music` via Channel 292, VG into UTwente, delayed almost a minute behind 3955, but much better VG signal on 9670 until fading down last new minutes before 1900. Inconvenient scheduling, since it collides with `Talking Machine Show` on WWCR 12160, and Metropolitan Opera. I had to miss the first hour of `La Bohème`. Same situation next week for his other monthly, `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot`, unless I can manage to catch its first and only other airing, Friday at 2200 on 3955 only, as UB will not availablize his shows ondemand online, in support of the shortwave medium (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ITALY [and non]. 7399.906, March 9 at 1624, tune in UTwente just in time for publicized monthly broadcast of Marconi Radio International on ``7400`` until 1630 --- S8/S9 with Italian? talk vs much stronger ACI from 7404.984 with ``shortwave`` jingle, Dutch? presumably R. Piepzender as both these are the only stations anywhere, anywhen on 7395 & 7400. 7399.906 still going ast 1635 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** JAPAN [non]. 15130, March 10 at 2058, S7/S9 in Japanese, OOFSOB = one of few signals on band. It`s NHK via FRANCE to CAf at 19-21 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KUWAIT. 7590, March 10 at 0613, JBA music. EiBi shows R. Farda at 0230-0830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 800, March 7 at 0712 UT, heavy distorted mess from XEERG vs KQCV OKC, still unfixed. I wonder if CKLW and PJB listeners also have a problem with it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 1549.82, March 6 at 0658, JBA carrier hetting 1550 stations, probably XEREL Morelia still doing it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2285) ** MEXICO. 1549.82, March 9 at 0730, besides 1 kHz tones from unknown US station, the JBA carrier hetting also detectable, maybe partway to 1549.81, presumed XEREL Morelia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 1549.82 kHz, March 12 at 0649, still JBA carrier hetting 1550 stations believed to come from XEREL, Morelia, Mich. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 6185-, March 12 at 0631, XEPPM is OFF! Still off at 0917. México`s last SW station, R. Educación, hope not gone for good. Had been reliable late at night, and hardly anything else above 6115; 6160- WBCQ has been drastically curtailed with the departure of TOMBS. WRTH 2025 shows no callsign for 6185, but Señal Cultura México, 1.4 kW at 22-12 UT. EiBi agrees on the hours, but Aoki shows 21-10. There are no longer any DST shifts in most of Mexico. At 2232 I try the KiwiSDRs in MexCy XE1AF, and Qro: nothing on 6185. At the bottom of this page there is a 6185 program schedule dated March 2025, a lot of blanx, but only between 17 and 24 local time = 23-06 UT. After 06 SW must have been relaying one of their other stations: https://radioeducacion.edu.mx/carta-programatica-del-mes There are also play linx further down page including one for 6185, which does play music at 2305, but suspect is not a live feed. https://s2.mexside.net/cp/widgets/player/single/?p=8178 So anything to hear after 2300 UT March 12? At 2301, 2307, 2325, still nothing on 6185 to either XE remote. At 2344, nothing to Qro tho a thin line on 6180 from Brasil is showing. At 2342 I sent them this message on contacto form: ``Anoche después de la medianoche del miércoles, en mi propio receptor de OC en Oklahoma, ni esta tarde después de las 17 HCM, nada en 6185 por remotos en CDMX y Qro. Es una emisora predilecta para mí. Espero que su última emisora de OC de México pueda volver al aire tan pronto como posible. Favor de explicarme qué pasa? Saludos.`` (Guillermo Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. 8828 USB, March 10 until 0625* mostly numerical by monotone OM voice, ``--? VOLMET, out``. EiBi shows Auckland starting at :20 and :50 past the hours, 24h timeshared with Kong Kong at :15, :45; Tokyo at :10, :40 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6960 AM, UT Sat March 8 at 0237, JBA music, no doubt Ball Smacker Radio on its reliable Friday-evening frequency and time; more reports here: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,141935.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6849.9 AM, Sat Mar 8 at 0238, disco beat music JBA. More reports here as Liquid Radio on 6850, but none later than 0232: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,141937.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 95.5, March 12 at 1946 UT into caradio, non-ID as K95, then Tulsa ad. So this is KWEN, 100/100 kW in Tulsa, but per WTFDA FM DB, it`s `K-95 FM` but the hyphen was *not* pronounced. Adding to the confusion are two other 95.5 around here only, with almost same branding! KITX, 50/50 kW in far Hugo, SE Oklahoma, `K95.5 FM` both country; and KAHE, 100/100 kW, Dodge City KS, `Super Hits K95` no hyphen, i.e. Classic Hits format. At least there are no further ones if respelt ``Kay/95`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. ``FCC Grants & Actions for Monday March 10: K288FX 105.5 North Enid OK Silent 1/30, antenna system failure`` (via Mike Bugaj, CT, WTFDA) Yes, still off as of March 10 and so is 91.1 KKRD at same site in North Enid [non = plain old Enid downtown], but nothing about it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Tropo is up, with Tulsa/Okmulgee/Eufaula UHF TV sigs decoding for first time in long time, and most `open` channels have at least BAD signals into Zenith STB from my rooftop antenna still permanently aimed SSE toward OKC, March 10 at 1552, including: RF 28 = Ion 44-1; RF 31 OETA 3-1 = KOET; RF 20 KQCW-HD 19-1; and RF 28 KJRH 2-11. KJRH is NBC affil, originally KVOO-TV, but what`s it doing on this obscure sub-channel? Soon fades below decoding level. I would not have noticed it tuning by RF channels, but at virtual 2 it came up. Strangely enough, searching rabbitears.info on KJRH calls shows it only on RF8 as 02-1. RF 28 is axually KTPX-TV Okmulgee, virtual 44 for ION. If you bring that one up, it does show KJRH as 2-11. BTW, this Zenith set-top-box DTV converter must be left on all the time. If turned off or a power failure, it`s tough to get it to turn back on (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** PUERTO RICO. 391 MCW kHz, March 12 at 0644 UT, DDP San Juan/DoraDo beacon is JBA, always a welcome sign of good propagation, the only one outside N America I ever hear. DXinfocentre.com and RNA Signals List continue to conflict about its power, 1000 vs 2000 watts resp. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 11730, March 12 at 0625, RRI concluding French with satellite and contact info, and IS, S9+20, SSOB way above e.g. France 11700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11934.893, March 9 at 1945, huge buzz atop Arabic from Rep. of Yemen Radio via Riyadh, S9+20/30 into UTwente. Presumably transmitter fault rather than jamming. Had been clear of this for several weeks. Tnx tip from Tony Rogers and David Morris, bdxc (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11934.893+, March 11 at 2037, Rep. of Yemen Radio, Arabic, still with heavy buzz. Ed Sylvester explains on the WOR iog: ``I live in Riyadh and have had meetings with SBA. At that time (early 2024), they were on the fence as to whether to continue. The transmitters/antennas are currently in a sector of Riyadh that has been designated for future housing projects. Hence, the government will either fund a move or have them shut down permanently. Because there has not been funding to date, they are cannibalizing older transmitters for replacement parts to at least keep Yemen radio on the air. Sa`udi Arabia is in the midst of full bore modernization in all sectors and DAB+ has been touted as the new medium for widespread broadcasting. They also rely on high-powered MW broadcasters that can be heard throughout the region. The future of SW broadcasting seems bleak in KSA as surveys of listenership have been spotty and unconvincing. Will know more in the coming months. Fingers crossed. 73, Ed 7Z1ES`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SCOTLAND [non]. I was complaining about music being hard to find on SW vs talk formats. But unlike some stations with only one or three transmitters, there are plenty of music blox on one WRMI or another, altho only one classical: `Encore`. Turned on my BSR1 caradio, Friday March 7 around 2030 and there it was, already tuned to 15770. Fair signal but never a blaster here since it`s aimed NE. Too bad not a single WRMI in daytime be aimed across N America, and should be on 13 MHz or higher. I had already heard this new biweekly episode at first airing, UT Fri Mar 7 at 0200 on 5850. Other WRMI times: UT Sun 0100 on 5850, UT Mon 0300 on 5950, Tue 1300 on 15770. 5950 is subject to DST shifts unlike the others, so should already be at 0200 UT Monday when the System L sked shows it should also be on 7730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5890, March 6 at 0702 UT, WWCR-4 on again with TOMBS attempting to sing, despite weekend-only overnight scheduling altho this is Thursday, S9+50, and // but not synchronized to 5850 WRMI-12 which by comparison is quite undermodulated, and only S9+35/40 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17715, Fri March 7 at 2222, another frequency missing from REE, the one for SAm which is second-best for us in the also continued absence of 12030 for ME. Still on 17755 for Af, VG S9+30 9690 for NAm. 2300 token English previews topic about a feminist leader for International Women`s Day. All checked direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Mon Mar 10 at 2300, token English from SNR, VG into Maryland SDR, better than 17715 better than 17755 much better than nothing on 12030. Preview topic to be about Irish in Madrid celebrating St Patrick`s Day already all week, not just Saturday? That would be Ides of Mar, 15. First news item about debating defending Ukraine; 2306 into feature (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 12030, Wed Mar 12 at 2308, token English from SNR is finally back on its ME frequency, S9/+10 backwards into Maryland SDR, almost as good as NAm 9690, S9+10/20; 17715 or SAm also VG S9/+15, but 17755 for Af JBA S5/S7. 12030 axually resumed March 11, a non-English Tuesday, as reported by JRX in Brasil. Topic at 2315 today something about the treatment of human remains in museums (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9610, March 7 at 2315 direct, algo weak can`t tell if VOT English, and nothing on 5960. At 2332 into UTwente, only Chinese on 5960, only Mongolian on 9610. VOT a total loss; but this saves them from another error, German after 2400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.003+, Sat Mar 8 at 2300, VOT English not off the air; something`s not erroneous at Emirler, S9+25/40 into UTwente and not even tried direct. Some hum, and somewhat overmodulatedistorted. News already over at 2311 music. 2317 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, music. 2320 talk about Feb 2023 earthquaxe, pipeline from Azerbaijan, Georgia. Not sure of title, but sounds familiar. 2226 music. 2330 TRTVOTVorld promo. By now there is CCCCCCI which does not make it easier to understand Efsun the axentuated who is back! talking about something, 2243 outro title was `Dream Destinations`, I have to check Roe`s sked to find; music. 2347 ``always-by-your-side`` promo again, repeat feature about famous cats from the White House to Hermitage to Key West. 2351 music. 2353 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2354 s/off as if it`s the 1330 on 13635, awry. 2355 first notes of IS about one sesquitime, and chop off* uncovering ChiComusic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9610.018-, Sunday March 9 at 2201, S9+35/40 into UTwente, well above annoying ChiCom Mongolian CCI of CNR8, VOT English amid music break, 2204 `Letterbox` continues with one from Bangladesh, names Turkey`s best university. 2207 Liam? Spencer, USA, 15-year-old from Colorado, heard 6125. Hostess glad to hear from such a young SWL, implying SW is not dead yet. 2209 Jayanta Chakraborty, north India, ``Dear Sir``, plugs freedom of religion in India; she distances herself from a commentary on Mon & Wed which is translated from TRT World website opinion sexion, not originated by VOT or its English dept. 2222 ``that`s a wrap``, hostess names herself, sounds like ``Jamie`` but probably not, and closing song. 2216 `LBox` theme/outro as there is briefly some OTH radar? cliQRM until 2219.5, no more. ``always-by-your-side`` promo, 2217 song. 2222 TRTVOTVorld.com promo, music. 2225 s/off as if 1330 on 13635, and 9 notes of IS before chop 2226* uncovering CNR8. I miss the next repeat if it succeeded, circa 2320 on 5960, so plan to catch the first part of L`Box on final repeat circa 0415 on 6125/7285. Indeed, I do, tuning in a bit earlier via UTwente to 6125.004+, S9+45, perfect reception, in strength, modulation quality, no QRM, better than sufficient // 7285.018-, S9+5/15. March 10 at 0416 a commentary about Sa`udi influence and policies concerning tribes in Syria and the Levant; outro as by an international relations expert, name not understood. Then program outro as `The Pulse of Turkish Foreign Policy`. 0420.5 music. 0424 TRTVOTVOrld.com promo in 41 {sic; 45? more added?} languages, and `Letterbox` theme, opening. 0425 YL hostess says Ramadan started a week ago and is still getting used to fasting all day, and feels less energetic since she can`t have any coffee or tea - sounds fine and awake to me. 0425 Siddartha ---, reported 3-8 Feb at 1730, SINPOs all 44444: how many NGOs in Turkey? 122, relying on donations, also some state support. Malik -- --, Pakistan: glowing review of VOT. 0429 got email from EBU about ticket competition? for Eurovision Song Contest, Basel in May. She always enjoyed it as a child. Turkey not participating for a few years, a loss. Song quality not that good, but fun like a party. 0430 music break: Anatolian pop rock, names not understood - sounds like a scratchy vinyl at start. 0435 wanted to resume ``question of the month`` but manager nixed it. Next, about what is the largest university in Turkey? by km2, by number of students, but the best academically is a private one, name not understood - etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, March 10 at 2259, NO signal from VOT into UTwente; possible overrun alternative, 9610, bears Mongolian from China only. By 2320, 5960 has a bigsig S9/+10, but it`s Chinese, as Urumqi starts at odd time of *2310 per Aoki. Something`s erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9610.022+, March 11 at 2250, S9+40 into UTwente with VOT multi-lingual ID filler reel, nothing on 5960. 2252 s/off in Italian! That must be on the web at 2230, but the only Italian SWBC is supposed to be at 0930-1000 on 11970, per WRTH! Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Considerable CCI from China making a rippling SAH. 2253 VOT IS plays until finally off at 2257*.

J.P. is never afraid to provide a more left-leaning viewpoint to counter the roar of the AM right as well. "Look, the rules of the game are, if you're doing anything worthwhile, you're probably not going to make money at it. It's inversely proportional. If you're doing garbage, you are going to get rich.

SMG site in convoluted schedule of languages and times (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. LW bandscan, full of tantalizing JBA carriers of ND beacons, March 7 at 0713-0739 UT. If only my local noise level could be lessened! The ones with audible IDs are separate under USA, CANADA, q.v. 227, 233, 251, 260, 267, 272, 284, 299, 309, 314, 316, 334, 338, 341, 344, 365=two mixing, 371, 382, 385, 388, 391, 397, 404, 407, 410, 412, 417.6?? maybe a birdie but all the others are on exact 1.0-kHz spacing. One may consult these for likelies: https://dxinfocentre.com/ndb.htm https://rxx.classaxe.com/en/rna/signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 810.57, March 7 at 0710 UT, JBA mystery carrier hetting 810.00 WHB. I`ve DFed it more than once as roughly 100/280 degrees from Enid. Now we need others to get a bearing from other angles to triangulate it. This can be done on a hand-held portable with built-in ferrite rod antenna, preferably with BFO, not with otherwise superior fancy fixed antennas which have such a disadvantage (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 810.57 kHz, March 10 at 0554 UT, JBA carrier detectable again aside 810 WHB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 810.56 kHz, March 12 at 0706 UT, JBA carrier still hetting 810.0 WHB KC, MO. I`m going to keep logging this and reporting it until I, or someone can help pin it down (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1680 kHz, March 12 at 0652 UT, deadair atop weakers, presumably my closest and dominator, KRJO Monroe LA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 3312.0, March 12 at 0633-0637 UT, weak carrier, and more just like it approx. 3280.6, 3296.3, 3359.2, i.e. about 15.75 kHz apart. Bingo: No doubt radiation from some analog TV set, maybe neighbor. All sets in this house are ``off`` but some plugged in, so in standby mode; 15.734 as explained here: https://www.reddit.com/r/audioengineering/comments/2mszh4/whats_up_with_this_spike_at_around_157khz_on_the/?rdt=56556 These would be harmonix in the 200+ range! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 4200, 4800, 5100, 5400, March 10 at 0325 past 0405, and 0549-0601 UT, pips/beeps/carriers on and off at regular odd intervals amounting to about 26X per minute on frequencies exactly 300 kHz apart. Something never heard before. Details: 0325, found first on 4800.00 during bandscan; still past 0405. At 0407 found also on 5100, but fraxion of a second delayed using two rx, but maybe because of different DSP delays in rx. And soon also on 5400 which is synched with 5100. Then I check other +/- 300 kHz spots for this: NOT on 4200, 4500, 5700. Suspended chex 0416 as it`s almost time for V of Turkey `Letterbox`, q.v. 0549 resume checking direct: 4800, 5100 and 5400, the latter with almost double-pips, two sites? Now ALSO on 4200, but NOT on: 3900, 3600, 3300, 3000, 2700; 6000, 6300, 6600. At 0557: NOT on 4200, 4500, but YES on: 4800, 5100, 5400. Not expecting any break for ToH ID at 0600, but listening just in case: NONE on 4800, 5100, 5400. So, what`s going on here? Of course, nothing to be heard at next check in daytime 1545 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 4885, March 12 at 0917 UT awaken check, JBA carrier, presumably Korea as Brasil should be much stronger if on at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 7725 CW, March 10 at 0616 UT, weak beeps at 24/minute, related or not to the even 300 kHz intervals? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 7636.0, March 8 at 0713, open carrier at S9+ plus clix once per second. Same as logged March 4. No other significant hits in archive to explain it. Also had 9236 on Feb 26, but this time instead: Also 9126.0 at 0716 March 8, S2/S3 carrier but only occasional random clix. Searching my archive on 9126 gets this hit, maybe coincidental, Sept 13, 2024 from: ``Takahito Akabayashi, Tokyo, Japan --- According to Japanese radio amateur Ryota Mitobayashi, JJ1WTL, US-based companies have set up 4 Experimental Shortwave Financial Data Trading stations in Japan. All the stations are located in Boso peninsula, Chiba prefecture, about 100 km southeast from Tokyo. Details of the 4 stations are as follows. Stations 1) – 3) were relicensed on January 1 2024, date of expiry are March 31 2027. 1) DATACOM SERVICES (a subsidiary of IMC Asia Pacific B.V.)

EiBi shows shared among Gander, New York and Piarco = Trinidad (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9236.0, March 12 at 0621, again the open carrier except for regular clix, S8/S9 direct. Unlike before when the clix were exactly every second, now they are timed at about 21 per minute, and audible out to 9221/9251 or +/- 15 kHz. What is this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED [non]. 13554-13566, March 6 at 1633, NO trace of any CW beacon in the ``HIFER`` ISM band -- just the local RF ID clutterstuff around 13560. I bandscan this at least once a day or night, but nothing heard for several months. Used to occasionally pull one. Is it only my noise level, propagation, or are few of these really active? Look at this list and hunt them: https://www.lwca.net/sitepage/part15/index.htm (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 15916.0, March 6 at 1618, open carrier except for clix every second, S7/S8 but which are detectable out to 15902/15927; same as recently heard on 7636.0, 9236.0, no listings for any in Klingenfuß 2022. Perhaps significant that they all end in 6? What are they? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2285) UNIDENTIFIED. 21480-21490, March 7 at 2219, DRMish noise direct. Nothing of any ilk listed on 21485 per HFCC, Aoki, EiBi, drmrx. Suspect could be another China DRM, but sounds not quite normal with some pulsing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 21580, March 10 at 2054, S6/S8 open carrier is the OSOB, except for again some DRMish noise centred on 21485. Nothing in HFCC, EiBi or Aoki, suspect China for both. RFI does use 21580 a lot, but not between 19 and 07 UT. The 13m SWBC band is drastically underutilized, even now circa solar max. I`ve noticed some intermittent SSB within too, intruders or mistuned hams? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
