** CUBA [and non]. 6030, 7355, 7435, March 17 at 0447, weak pulse
jamming against nothing, tsk2, as Mart? & Greenville have been turned
off by *rump. I bet they`re celebrating in Habana. I bet they take
plenty of time to turn off the jammers. Now`s your chance, CFVP! But
who knows, USAGM might get resurrected if enough oppo to *rump (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 660 kHz, UT Monday March 17 at 0431 ``Nuevo Le?n en La Hora
Nacional``, so it`s the regional/stateish cutaway from the
``national`` hour, ergo on this frequency it`s XEFZ Monterrey. Quick
check of some other NLs, sounds similar but can`t make //, XEG 1050,
XEMR 1140 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 1210, March 17 before 0500 UT, strong talk station, 0503
``5 states, KGYN`` so Guymon is again failing to aim away from us,
take that!, WPHT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ROMANIA. 9510, March 17 at 0453, S9+30/40 of folk music, from RRI
English for western N America.
Tentative A25 schedule from March 30; Wolfgang Bueschel excerpted from
HFCC and gh picked out English only; all shifting one UT hour earlier
due to irrelevant DST in Europe, so this will be at 0300 on 9740,

** TURKEY. 9610.006-, Sunday March 16 at 2149, VOT English is not off
the air, S9+20/30 into UTwente but with considerably more than usual
CNR Mongolian CCI, ending feature on Turkish foreign policy,
multi-lingual ID filler reel; 2152 music. 2156 ``with-you-every-hour``
promo, music. I`m listening now for `Letterbox` in case the 2300+
repeat be missing. Or rather I`m recording to listen a bit later, so
the times are approx. I never hear the `L`box` theme, but at 2200, YL
hostess gives her name but can`t understand it, talks about ``spring
has sprung``, something about Turkish folklore, natural enemas(?), but
it`s not the Folklore segment per se, as 2203 starts answering
correspondence, from 1) Mr. Max[?] in the UK, who is glad TRT is
keeping SW. 2) -- Danielson, Sweden, 67-year-old, wants QSL for 13635
& 6050. I think she says ``we also issue eQSLs`` which would be a new
policy, but will send hardcopy since he sent r.p. 2206 song break from
1974y. 3) 35-year-old from Canada; hostess is 43. 4) at 2212 Andr?,
Romania. 5) at 2213 Siddartha --- wants to know if International
Women`s Day is celebrated in Turkey, and what is the gender ratio?
43.6 megamales, 43.8 megafemales, or 49.4 and 50% [sic] respectively.
2216 ``shoutout`` to Ricky Hein, South Dakota, who I think she said
was getting 11111 reception on 5960, 6125; maybe will improve at
Marchend with different frequencies. 2217 closing song. 2218 `L`Box`
theme outro, tune-out.
5959.992-, Sunday March 16 at 2303, VOT not off the air now either,
S9+40 into UTwente. Usually offset slightly plus (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A [and non]. 4930, March 17 at 0444, JBA carrier, no doubt VOA
BOTSWANA relay still on air, but others report no new programming, and
site expected to be closed down later this date.
9775, March 17 at 0455, S7/S9 of music with long pause between tunes,
presumably fill music, off by 0459: VOA English BOTSWANA scheduled
0300-0500, still running while HQ in Washington is locked up.
Various other relay sites are affected, MW and SW, disappearing from
air, replacing with other programming, etc., everyone trying to keep
up with this fast-breaking situation, reporting to the WOR iog. Of
course this also threatens innocent bystations using USAGM facilities
such as Radio Thailand, Pilipinas.
Greenville guys were told to shut the power off to the building. That
means no A/C and no heat. In NC the equipment will be ruined in a
month. It`s over for shortwave (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also CUBA
[and non]
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2286 monitoring: Also confirmed
Sunday March 16 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.997+, S9 into
UTwente across Europe.
Also confirmed Sunday March 16 at 2236 the 2230 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.003-, S9/+10 into UTwente.
Also confirmed Sunday March 16 at 2330 on WRMI 7780, S9+30 into S
Texas SDR; and same time on WRMI 7570, S9+35 into same.
Also confirmed UT Monday March 17 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9+15/35 into
S Texas SDR.
Also confirmed UT Monday March 17 at 0300 on Area 51 webcast; 5130-
WBCQ stayed on a bit longer but playing music instead. Next:
2030 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW;
1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?];

** U S A. 5950, Mon Mar 17 at 0618, WRMI still on with TOMBS, running
a few words behind 5850. 5950 had been normally off at this hour. Xmtr
grid shows until 0400 only, but System E shows weekends only also
0600-1500. Does Monday morning count as ``weekend``? And is there
really a break 0400-0600? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 570, March 17 at 0631 UT, Sioux Falls ad, and plug for
Alaska cruise with WNAXtrips.com, which converts to
https://wnax.com/events/categories/trips/
Quite a sideline for a radio station, travel broker too, like WRMI.
Where`s KLIF, or XEBJB? WNAX Yankton SD barely reaches here on daytime
groundwave when KLIF is a problem (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 730, March 17 at 0634 UT, `The Other Side of Midnight`,
rather than XEX or anything else. I`m running across this show more
and more, but not among the `Shows and their Network Codes` on page
263 of the 2024 NRC AM Log; should be added. Originates at WABC, which
provides huge podcast archive,
https://wabcradio.com/podcast/the-other-side-of-midnight-with-frank-morano/
but I can`t find a mere affiliate list; is there one, anywhere? I
would guess KQPN West Memphis AR, which is talk format per NRC AM Log,
but website is about sports only. Also heard here is KKDA Grand
Prairie TX in The Metroplex, but it`s Korean. TOSOM not to be confused
with a book, movie of same name (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1330, UT Mon Mar 17 at 0438 UT, hymn in English with
chimes is dominating. Unseems my regular nearbie, KNSS Wichita, which
is news/talk with far right extremists such as Hannity scheduled this
hour. Too many other choices of REL/GOS formats with low power, bad
direxionality (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4790, March 17 at 0443, JBA carrier vs CODAR, intriguing
since no broadcasters listed except an hour of ChiCom jamming at 1230
per EiBi; could be ute, but nothing on this exact frequency per
Klingenfu? 2022. Not a third harmonic as 4+7+9 = 20, not a multiple of
3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4950, March 17 at 0445, JBA carrier, much weaker than
4940- Venezuela. Nothing listed in EiBi, Aoki, or Klingenfu?; but
could be 3 x 1650 or 5 x 990 or 9 x 550 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6882, March 17 at 0449, open carrier, pirate? None
reported currently in HFU; years ago, MRI appeared here. Ute? Nothing
on this exact frequency in Klingenfu? 2022 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7505, March 17 at 0451, JBA carrier; nothing but WRNO
listed except 25 minutes of ChiCom jamming at 2335. WRNO sometimes
runs much later than this; maybe Metairie merely excited? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
