Here`s the latest on imminent Discovery landing March 9 (which was delayed a
day from the original March 8 I mentioned on WORLD OF RADIO):
DISCOVERY DEORBIT BURN 15:52 UT
KSC LANDING 16:57 UT
Discovery Given "Go" for Deorbit Burn
Wed, 09 Mar 2011 02:30:56 PM GMT-0100
Mission Control Capcom Charlie Hobaugh gave space shuttle Discovery Commander
Steve Lindsey a "go" for the deorbit burn. The shuttle?s two Orbital
Maneuvering System (OMS) engines will fire at 10:52 a.m. EST for two minutes,
31 seconds and slow Discovery by 188 miles per hour. Landing is expected at
11:57 a.m. at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, runway 15.
Weather is observed and forecast ?go.?
Map of the landing path shows approaching from the SSW, across Guatemala/El
Salvador/Belize, up the Quintana Roo coast, west of Cuba, across central
Florida.
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/main/index.html
So we are out of luck in North America for a possible repeat of the night-like
MW propagation I observed during the day in April 2009 when another STS landing
path crossed over the entire continent from the west coast.
However, the same effect might be observed in Central America/Mexico/Cuba today
if anyone is looking for it! It could last a few hours after Discovery passes
thru the D-layer.
Check normally open MW frequencies for stations beyond your normal groundwave
range in the daytime, and/or unusual interference on occupied channels.

The station yesterday did s.off around 2100 UTC.
I can now hear it again (1600 UTC) with fair signal.

The signal on 8500 khz was subsequently (from around 1900 UTC) covered by a
huge wide-band digital signal.
Now @ 2000 UTC, they are on 7500 kHz.
I have recorded approx 10 minutes here:
www.myradiobase.de/201103091812_8500.mp3
Recording started at 1812 UTC, at 03:26 I'm switching to a remote Perseus in
GRC (tnx SV8RV!) on 8500 kHz, at 03:55 to 972, and back to 8500, 04:30 back to
972 with strong LBY. 05:10 back to my own Perseus on 8500, quite weak. At 07:10
into Arabic OM telefone call.

3925 JAPAN R. Nikkei Tokyo-Nagara, 1127-1136, March 6, Japanese. M & W

during band scan w/ hints of audio; tentative Hindi mx at 0258; talk from 0302;

** ANGUILLA. 6090, missing again another night, March 9 at 0643 uncovering
usual hets (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36 still not showing even a carrier, March 9 at 1415,
1454, 1514 chex (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1555, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUINEA. 7125, RTG intruder, March 9 at 0641 mentioning ``la r?gion de
Conakry``, FM; fair at S9+10. Has been mostly keeping on the air the last few
days (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5985, March 9 at 1402, Shokaze sinking into the noise an
hour+ after sunrise now, just making out its piano music and could not tell if
in English as sometimes on Wednesdays. Unfortunately, they stay on 49m yearound
and at the same hour, so we shan`t be hearing them well again until autumn
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 21540, R. Kuwait has become the SSOB, March 9 at 1408 mentioning
Kuwait in Arabic, REE underneath no more than a SAH, and also stronger than REE
in the clear on // 21570, 21610. 1448 still the SSOB with Qur`an as usual
around this vesper time.
Hearing it in English has been out of the question all winter here, 18-21 on
15540, but starting to make it to ENAm, and plans to stay on that in A-11 altho
nominally in Arabic. Main English newscast is at 1830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD
OF RADIO 1555, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. 21695, VOAf from the GJ, not heard since March 3 on daily chex during
14-16 English, and still nothing there March 9 at 1408 and later. 17725 at
first seemed gone too, but then a JBA carrier, presumed this, while e.g. Saudi
17705 was sufficient. 17725-, very slightly on the lo side compared to 13725,
11725 and 9725 stations. At 1440 it`s peaking at S9, seems a bit of whine but
no detectable program modulation, likewise at 1514 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 1555, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6185, R. Educaci?n, March 9 at 0642, S9+18 and good modulation with
jazz; last night`s audio problem fixed, perhaps a bad connexion: wiggled that
patchcord? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 6075, R. Rossii, Pet/Kam, March 9 at 1358 IDs and music, poor signal
now with flutter an hour+ after sunrise here, 1359 a child`s voice, 1400 as
late 6-pip timesignal started, the single TS from Taiwan coincided as one was
signing off, the other signing on. No trace until 1402 of 6074 8GAL or 2MTL CW
marker (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9405, WINB in its wildly fluxuating signal from one night to the
next: March 9 at 0638 it`s very poor and distorted, much weaker than BBC 9410
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7415, checking for first broadcast anywhere of WORLD OF RADIO 1555,
which I had completed and uploaded by 2140 UT March 9, and notified WBCQ: I was
monitoring webcast and 7415 from 2210, as ``Amos `n` Andy`` outro ran until
2216, then last week`s WOR 1554 playback started! Phoned them and started
playing 1555 at 2221, but that stopped for buffering at 2235 since they were
trying to stream it live off my website rather than downloading it first. 2238,
restarted 1555 from the beginning, and it played to conclusion at 2259, but
must have skipped part of it to make it end by then. Nevertheless, replay
started a third time at 2259 but only for a couple minutes before went silent.
On 7415, a poor-fair signal here, but reports from closer to Maine that it was
much better.
Next chances: on WRMI 9955, Thursday 0430, 1600, 2200, Friday 1530, Saturday
0900, 1500, 1830; on WWRB 2390 and/or 5050: UT Friday 0430; on WWCR: Friday
2130 on 7465 for the last time this season; Saturday 1700 12160, Sunday 0730
and/or 0630 on 3215.
After that all times on US stations shift one real UT hour earlier so people
can pretend they are at the same time locally during DST (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) ###
