DWL daylight 13780 frequency now off in A-11 at 1000 UT.
TRT still on winter schedule. Turkey DST one day later:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Summer_Time
For the year 2011, Turkey will switch to European Summer Time at 3:00 am in
the night from Sunday March 27 to Monday March 28, one day later than the
rest of Europe, to avoid disrupting the examination for admission to higher
education (YGS) held nation-wide on March 27.
Only the PC nets on the Turkish airport to serve airline passengers to go
abroad were switched manually.
TRT Ankara at present on winter schedule 11925, 15350 and 15480.
Re VOA Sawa
9-11 UT noted a single frequency 13835 in Arabic, most probably Radio Sawa.
Islamabad Pakistan today on 15725 and 17720 on air.

Hi to all
The message send to Hard Core from Daniel Sampson with the subject
"Good new", looks like a spam message.
Please, take a look at this in the GMail help forum:
"My Gmail Account Was Hacked Today And Spam Messages Sent To All Of My
Contacts Report abuse
domsmith94
Level 1
3/24/11
Explain your issue in full detail here:
When I got home today I saw around 40 unread messages with most of them
delivery failure notifications. I looked into it and turned out that my
Gmail account has been hacked and been used to send out spam messages to
all of my contacts. The message was:
'Hey,
How are you?
I'm so happy today because just received my laptop from towoeo.com
with such low price of the quality goods , you can have a look if you
need any electronic products , There are many famous brand of electronic
products with original quality and international warranty. Hope it is
valuable to you soon!
All The Best!'
I looked into account history and my account was accessed by this:
BrowserChina (219.234.81.179)15:10 (1.5 hours ago)
This is obviously the spammer as I have never been to China and would
never access my account from China etc.
I have since taken off the auto reply the spammers put on my account and
have changed my password but I am wondering how I go about reporting
this to Google that my account was hacked?"

** CANADA. 6115, strong open carrier, March 27 at 0641 and earlier in the hour;
presumed Sackville which decided to burn kW even tho with A-11 there is no
longer any CRI English relay here at 06-07, and hence no audio input (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake March 27:
10300, poor at 1336 // 13130
11500, poor at 1527, mixing with something else. Aoki A-11 not up yet, but B-10
showed Sound of Hope 1530-1600 via Tajikistan, CNR1 jamming
12980, very good at 1333
13130, very good at 1330
13500, poor at 1331, and not // the others. One of those 100-watt SOH nuisance
frequencies, per B-10 Aoki.
15900, poor at 1250
No other FD found 12-19 MHz around 1334.
17705, March 27 at 1252, Indian music over Chinese talk CCI, i.e. AIR Chinese
service vs CNR1 jamming; but no Arabic from BSKSA heard tho still supposedly
scheduled here too. See also EAST TURKISTAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5040, March 27 at 0603, RHC Spanish is still on, more than an hour
past official closedown time now. No Spanish frequencies to be heard on 6 MHz
band; perhaps the RadioCuba operator fell asleep and forgot to turn off 5040.
Recheck at 0643 just as it said ``les ofrecemos a Vds.`` the next program,
faded out audio to dead air.
Meanwhile, RHC English at 0603 had Arnie Coro`s `Breakthru` about windmills,
best on 6010, then 6050, 6150, 6060. This is supposed to be toward the end
rather than beginning of hour-long repeats.
`En Contacto` DX program remains Sunday at 1335; March 27 I heard most of it on
11760, about early Cuban radio history, including R. Caibari?n; and marking the
RHC 50th anniversary, when the RHC Bauta transmitter site had been set up in
1961, Che`s pilot took the first director of the Bauta center, Luis ---
Mendoza, up to see how vulnerable it was, being painted gray and white, and
told him to have the buildings repainted olive green. The first 100 kW
transmitter, a Brown Boveri, had a non-direxional antenna covering all the
Americas, and was visited not by Fidel, but by Pres. Osvaldo Dortic?s. Four
anti-aircraft guns from China were also installed to protect it during the Bay
of Pigs. By the 1962 October crisis, a second transmitter was on the air.
17750 in open carrier over VOA Kurdish, at 1408, but off at 1445. Another
Sunday-only channel for VENEZUELA, q.v., 13750, was absent at 1528.
11760 reconfirmed with R. Havano Kubo in Esperanto, Sunday March 27 at 1519
quick check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. On the first day of A-11, R. Mart? makes its usual seasonal
frequency changes, but the incompetent DentroCuban Jamming Command misses them,
allowing RM to get thru jamming-free, such as:
6030, March 27 at 1242, RM clear, no jamming.
11845, March 27 at 1306, RM VG with no jamming on reactivated summer-only
channel at 13-17, report on the persecution of Max Marambio. Meanwhile at 1306,
wall-of-noise jamming on 11930 (now scheduled at 14-24), and at 1536 on 15330,
both Mart?less, the latter not used at all in A-seasons (but the DCJC still
jammed it sporadically during A-10). 11845 still in the clear at 1526 with
sports/boxing report (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CZECHIA [non]. 9955, R. Prague via WRMI, March 27 at 0610 with monthly
science report on a book about ice in Bohemia; good signal and no jamming at
the moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EAST TURKISTAN. 17490, CRI English, March 27 at 1253, VG with flutter, and
likewise 17650 in Chinese both via Kashgar ending by 1300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE [and non]. 21580, RFI in French about development in African
countries, March 27 at 1322, fair. I thought this was new for A-11, as had not
heard in a long time, but was also scheduled in B-10 for 1200-1330.
17690, March 27 at 1403 songs in French, just music, no announcements heard tho
an ``RFI Musique`` might have been inslipped, off at 1430* with no announcement
either. Now scheduled for RFI in Spanish, 305 degrees from GUIANA FRENCH to
Central & East USA, Mexico, Central America, Caribbean at 1400-1430 and
1600-1630, but no such programming due to strike (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 6075 may no longer run 24 hours with DW German from various
sites, but it`s still on March 27 at 0606, during this hour via Woofferton UK;
now scheduled 04-22 via Portugal or one of the UK sites (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4055, March 27 at 0558, R. Verdad definitely running announcement
in Japanese, presumably recorded by a fan for benefit of DXers; then one at
much lower modulation which I think was Italian. 0600 brief sign-off in English
and 0600.6 starting choral NA featuring children`s voices. S9+15 and noticeably
better signal now that they are up to full power of 700 watts (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 21670, March 27 at 1322 weak station talking in unID language, gone at
1330, something new which had not been there in B-10. It`s VIRI`s Indonesian
``Melau`` service, 500 kW, 109 degrees from Kamalabad at 1230-1330, ex-15515
where I had also been hearing that until today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** IRAN [non]. 17755, used to hearing Turkish music from German service of VOT
during B-10 around 1300, and still hearing good signal with similar music in
A-11 at 1253, but now it`s scheduled as R. Farda via Biblis, GERMANY at 12-14.
This was atop some much weaker unknown co-channel, however, so maybe Turkey was
still there too on day 1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 21540, March 27 at 1321, R. Kuwait in Arabic atop Spain providing
only a SAH, as another season starts maintaining this stupid collision (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. 17725, VOAf from the GJ, quite poor and low-modulated March 27 at
1400 when English should have started, nor any better at further chex during
the following sesquihour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 6170, reactivated A-season frequency of RNZI ex-5950, March 27
at 1317, fair with Pacific political news (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** ROMANIA [and non]. 7225-7230-7235, DRM noise blob March 27 at 0607 listed as
RRI; and another one on 7425-7430-7435 from BBC via Austria (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [and non]. REE 15170 via Costa Rica to NAm is gone for A-11; instead
VG signal on 11880, Sunday March 27 at 1255, // much weaker 11815 for SAm; 1305
starts `La Hora de Asia` about Japan, China, but also including Pacific later
in hour, instead of `Amigos de la Onda Corta` DX program which had been at 1330
Sundays; is that now at 1230, or when? REE`s super-signal direct from Spain on
17595 also missing, now scheduled M-F only at 13-15. 17850 via CR was on again
this Sunday at 1535 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 15450 is listed as the reactivated A-11 frequency for VOT in English
to Europe at 1230-1320v, also USward, but no trace of it March 27 at 1253, nor
on // 15520 for Asia. The B-10 channels an hour later, 12035 and 11735 were not
making it either. How is 15450 in Europe? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 7425-7430-7435, DRM noise blob March 27 at 0607 listed as BBC via
Austria; and another one on 7225-7230-7235 from Romania.
21470, BBCWS English news about Libya, March 27 at 1406. This is 175 degrees
from CYPRUS at 14-17, just started for A-11 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. Pleased still to hear VOA`s `Jazz America` hour in A-11, Sunday
March 27 at 1312 on 12150, 9510, 7575, sites being Tinang, Poro and Poro,
PHILIPPINES.
17750, under carrier presumed from CUBA, Sunday March 27 at 1408, weak SW Asian
language. Once again VOA Kurdish via Wertachtal, GERMANY is now scheduled here
14-15; carrier gone at 1445 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 15785, Arabic pop music, March 27 until 1515 switch to news
until 1525 back to music. Had lots of axualities, including clips of Clinton &
Gates in English into voice-over translations. Presumably R. Sawa, matching its
format, on another brand-new frequency. Still Arabic pop music at 1537.
Seems R. Sawa has added more SW frequencies after 1300, and Wolfgang B?schel
forwarded this as of March 26, showing 15785 is 250 kW, 285 degrees from Kuwait
at 14-17:
ADDX club, Andreas Volk, Munich sent me the following SAWA file

** U S A. 9950 & 10050, big dirty spurs from WWV still pulsing away March 26 at
2053, despite my having mentioned this in a comment field on the current NIST
online survey. Is anyone paying attention? Haven`t they received multiple
complaints by now after a week of this??
Still nothing done to fix them March 27; when fundamental signal had built up
at 1352, so had the 9950/10050 spurs. At 1539 when I was trying to confirm the
scheduled Sunday 1530 WORLD OF RADIO broadcast on 9955 WRMI, could get nothing
past the spur axually centred closer to 9951, and the weaker one around 9900
also audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15665, March 26 at 2102, gospel huxter in English with modulation
spike spurs out to 15670-15700. Per B-10 schedule it`s WHRI. In A-11, 15665 is
available for WHRI only at 20-21 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 18530, March 26 at 2109, just checking for WINB harmonic after 2100
change from 13570 to 9265, and there it is, screaming gospel huxter matching
9265, poor but audible on 18530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9370, the POS WTJC transmitter has gone haywire again. For the last
few weeks has been just barely modulated and not causing problems beyond its
bandwidth, but March 27 at 0552, modulation is higher, but distorted and also
putting out big dirty spurs as far as 9335-9405, with further peaks around
9290, 9430, 9450. Still same at 0630.
And later that UT day at 1311, 9370 is undermodulated and distorted, with the
worst spurs circa 9345, 9395. At 1538, 9370 had weakened, but still spur around
9395. Something is fundamentally wrong with WTJC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7415, March 27 at 0608, ``Baby, I Love You`` rock song, so must be
WBCQ with another late run of QSO with Ted Randall, way past listed time until
0400; and another oldie still running at 0638 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 17580, no more Brother Scare here via Germany: March 27 at
1411, S Asian language, now scheduled as Bengali from YFR via Wertachtal at
13-15, 500 kW, 90 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. 13750 and 17750 had no axion earlier on Sunday March 27,
see CUBA, but checking at 1853 for `Al?, Presidente`, there`s El Hugazo best on
11690 altho weak with RTTY aside, and also seems audible on the four other
frequencies but all with varying degrees of co-channel: 13680, 13750 (buried),
15370, 17750 (under WYFR). Way to go, Arnie! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7505.0, good open carrier March 27 at 0637 and earlier in that
hour. No broadcasters scheduled in B-10 or A-11, except WRNO, now registered at
22-16. It has really been mostly off the air for months, using only 02-05/01-04
during DST, and when on, closer to 7506. Possibly they are testing for a return
on the correct frequency? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** CANADA. 17735, 15330 and 15235, RCI`s ONLY remaining English frequencies
from Sackville (an hour of DRM aside), Sunday March 27 at 2050 in `Maple Leaf
Mailbag`, its irrepressibly cheery host acknowledging listeners in India,
Russia, Florida, etc. Slightly better signal on 15330 than the others, in use
at 2000-2100 for Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11670, checking whether RNV is still on at 22-23, and thus blocking
INDIA [q.v.] after 2200, March 27 at 2253 instead it`s RHC in Portuguese! Per
RHC`s latest schedule this is supposed to be only on 15230 at 22-23, but when
rechecked at 2256, 11670 is off, and 15230 only bears a weak R. Australia.
However, RHC Portuguese is now on the huge 15250 signal, changing at 2300 to
RHC English, much better than // 5040 which is supposed to be the only
frequency for it at that hour, while the RNV relay is habitually on both 13680
and 15250 at 23-24.
On the contrary, at 2256 March 27, huge 13680 had RNV closing in English, and
restarting at 2300 partly in English on how Venezuela and intellexuals all over
the world are supporting Q`Daffy, a kindred evil spirit to El Hugazo. So has
RHC gots its feedlines all crossed up, or what? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, R. Africa active this Sunday, March 27 at 1944
with YL gospel huxter, poor signal; 2053 check now with an OM, distorted and
fluttery (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 17610, March 27 at 1932 political news about Alemanha, in
Portuguese, so it must be DW --- Yes, and via Sines, PORTUGAL, 250 kW, 140
degrees at 1930-1957, good signal so must be outputting a hefty fraxion of that
backwards at 320 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 11670, interesting wailing caught my ear, March 27 at 2059, then two
IDs for General Overseas Service of All India Radio, 2100 into news; fair and
listenable on new frequency ex-6280 for A-11, 500 kW, 320 degrees from
Bengaluru toward Europe and more or less USward too at 1730-2230 including the
break for Hindi at 1945-2045. Totally in the clear, but to be blocked after
2200 by Venezuela via Cuba --- not exactly! See CUBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 15495, March 27 at 1942, ID in passing as RNW, poor
signal in English, but maybe one of our better chances to hear this station
which abandoned its North American SWLs. A-11 scheduled at 1759-1957, 500 kW,
150 degrees from Wertachtal, GERMANY, but not enough signal backwards at 330.
The only other possibility here for this afternoon transmission, possibly
better, is 11610, 250 kW, 280 degrees via RWANDA overlapping this hour, at
1859-2057 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [and non]. 17850, 17715 and 15110, March 27 at 2051 playing neat
klezmer music. VG signal on all of them, but 17850 and 17715 not synchronized
as 17850 is via CR and the others direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. Wolfgang B?schel says Turkey will be one day late switching to DST
and consequently A-11!
``TRT still on winter schedule. Turkey DST one day later:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Summer_Time
For the year 2011, Turkey will switch to European Summer Time at 3:00 am in the
night from Sunday March 27 to Monday March 28, one day later than the rest of
Europe, to avoid disrupting the examination for admission to higher education
(YGS) held nation-wide on March 27. Only the PC nets on the Turkish airport to
serve airline passengers to go abroad were switched manually.``
This explains my March 27 observations [or non] on 15450, 17755. I now figure I
was hearing TRT at 1253 on 17755, with R. Farda the understation (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17750, March 27 at 1931, talk in Burmese, the same (only?) speaker as
before, so it must be WYFR`s Arabic service! Yes, indeed, now scheduled 19-20
on 17750 toward Europe when it`s 1 am in Myanmar (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 17560, Sunday March 27 at 1950, VG signal with American hits of
the 1960s, presented in French; 2000 Mathieu LaVoie with jazzier show, no break
for news. 1930-2030 is 250 kW, 90 degrees from Bonaire but plenty RF way
offbeam here. VOA French also on 17560 previous hour at 1830-1930 via S?o Tom?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. My previous report about `Al?, Presidente` for March 27 was
a last-minute addition, before I had time to research the collisions in A-11:
``13750 and 17750 had no axion earlier on Sunday March 27, see CUBA, but
checking at 1853 for `Al?, Presidente`, there`s El Hugazo best on 11690 altho
weak with RTTY aside, and also seems audible on the four other frequencies but
all with varying degrees of co-channel: 13680, 13750 (buried), 15370, 17750
(under WYFR). Way to go, Arnie!``
By refusing to participate in HFCC, because he would have to negotiate with
---ugh!!--- Americans, Arnie Coro fails to protect frequencies he has been
using for Venezuela, let alone RHC itself:
17750 has WYFR at 1700-2045.
15370 has nothing scheduled 1600-2300.
13750 has something in Russian via France at 17-18; YFR via Wertachtal at 18-19
13680 has VOA Somali via Sri Lanka at 17-18; RFI Russian via France at 18-19
11690 has CRI French via Kashgar at 16-18; Turkey in Arabic 1830-1930.
See also TURKEY.
Then RNV`s 22 and 23 broadcasts are all jumbled up: see CUBA (Glenn Hauser, OK,
