** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Fri Mar 3 at some chex between 20 and 21 UT, no trace of
LRA36 here. Hugo L?pez in Chile, who first discovered it back March 1,
confirmed it was on 15475.95 again March 2 until 2102*. Keep trying M-F 18-21
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BARBADOS. 21383.3-USB, March 4 at 1925, ham with extremely quick contest
contacts, ending with ``5-9-K``. I have a hard time copying his own call when
he gives it. First sounds like ``yankee victor five alfa``, but later decide
he`s saying ``thank you, eight peter five alfa``. If he`s in such a hurry, why
not dispense with all the ``thank-yous`` which would add up to a lot more
points in toto. One could easily assume everyone is thankful for each contact.
So it`s Barbados, no longer able to start VP6- which has moved to Pitcairn.
QRZ.com shows: ``8P5A Barbados flag, Tom Georgens, W2SC, QSL via NN1N, Bureau,
direct, LoTW``. Strange on the split frequency, so you can`t demodulate him
clearly in 1-kHz steps. See comment under JAMAICA. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11855.158, March 4 at 0716, R. Aparecida with rosary at S9-S4,
audibly varying and quite higher than its previous landings (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BURUNDI [non]. 15420, Saturday March 4 at 1857, the SSOB on 19m is this!
Radio Itahuka on its weekly hour via MADAGASCAR --- S9+10 but just barely
modulated in African language, presumably Kirundi. Refund from MBR? Itahuka is
cut off still talking at 1900*. With 250 kW at 315 degrees from Talata, much
stronger signal (but less modulated) than 15710 WHRIBS which normally inbooms
but is now only S6-S4; than 15500 & 15390 Spain; than 15770 WRMIBS; than 15580
VOA; than 15825 WWCR. WWV reports: ``Solar-terrestrial indices for 03 March
follow. Solar flux 78 and estimated planetary A-index 22. The estimated
planetary K-index at 1800 UTC on 04 March was 3. Space weather for the past 24
hours has been minor. Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level occurred``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CAYMAN ISLANDS. 21342.333-USB, March 4 at 2111, ZF2MJ, fonetikaly with
contest contacts: QRZ.com shows ``ZF2MJ Cayman Islands, Daniel Craig, 200
Barcelona Cir, Fullerton, CA 92835, USA, QSL: Home call N6MJ``. So WHERE in the
Caymans? Doesn`t even say which island. This is the third 15m station on a .3
split frequency --- is my R75 out of calibration? No, still within 3-6 Hz of
WWV, a correxion factor I apply in measurements. With only the usual JBA
carrier on 13m from 21675 WRMI, I wondered if 15m would be open from hams
anywhere; 12m and 10m were dead. Also got BARBADOS, JAMAICA on 15 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ECUADOR. 6050, here`s why I was hearing HCJB in Spanish circa 0630 March 3:
Horst Rosiak, the German who runs HCJB in Quito, notified his mailing list,
including EuroGermans and Rudolf Grimm in Brasil that a new transmitter had
been activated on Mount Pichincha, testing 24 hours a day. He said the thin air
at high altitude, 4 kilometers, was causing the thermal control to cut it off
the air for 5 minutes at a time, but I didn`t hear any breaks during my
monitorage. Also says German-language broadcasts may be resumed when audible in
Europe. What`s the power, antenna? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAMAICA. 21631.33-USB, March 4 at 2107, rapid contest contacts by 6Y1LZ. I
was expecting 6Y5, but it seems there are also 6Y1s now. His accent made it
hard to tell 5 from 1. QRZ.com shows: ``6Y1LZ Jamaica, KRASSIMIR PETKOV, 4 MARC
RD, Medway, MA 02053, USA, QSL: K1LZ``. Where in Jamaica? Wouldn`t that be more
pertinent than his unoccupied home address? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) See comment under CAYMAN
** MADAGASCAR. 11868.5 & 11351.5, March 3 at 2106, spurblobs from 11610 MWV in
Chinese are still audible; trying FM mode on them is no help. Still haven`t
found any similars around other MWV frequencies.
17640, March 4 at 1854, MWV with African music is the OSOB! Also a JBA carrier
on 9570, which could be their other transmitter in Russian (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also BURUNDI [non]
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 6040, UT Sunday March 5 at 0026, The Mighty KBC via
GERMANY, new experimental frequency in addition to // 6145. 6040 is a few dB
stronger on the PL-880 meter, but has the lite Brazilian het I expected, yet
6145 sounds a bit louder: both with considerable fading and storm noise, but no
other QRM. The QSY is unnecessary as long as the continuously-farting Brazilian
blob circa 6145 and its source, the 6180 transmitter, remain off. However,
Roger Thayer in Germany, too close, says 6145 has CCI there (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, March 4 at 0718, RNZI back here, VG S9+10 with music,
despite having been caught on 9700 two nights before. Noel Green in England
says it was also back on 11725 March 3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 22-9 MHz bandscan with special attention to 19m on 15530 and
15300 where I (alone) previously captured him, 2100-2109 UT March 3, still no
trace of Station YHWH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1867 monitoring: confirmed Friday March 3 at 2230 on
WRMI 11580, S9+10, JBA carrier on presumed // 5950 --- yes, by 2251 I can make
out a poor // there. But not // on 6855 where it was originally, rather some
music announced as ELO at 2251; maybe // the new rock fill on 9395? NO. Anyhow,
Jeff tells me that 6855 may return in a week or two to the previous // pattern.
Apparently it was disrupted last Friday by the KIYU relay and has yet to be
restored.
WOR 1867 also confirmed UT Sat Mar 4 at 0030 on WBCQ 9329.9v-CUSB, JBA. NOT
confirmed Sat Mar 4 after 1530 on HLR 7265-CUSB, via UTwente SDR --- only
audible is S Asian music from CRI Kashgar, with CCI from something else, unme,
presumably the other China station listed. Nor anything toward the end of the
hour, 1557-1600 when CRI Russian blasts in as usual. Also confirmed Sat Mar 4
at 2330 on WBCQ 9329.9v-CUSB, good. Next:

** U S A. 9955, Friday March 3 at 2201, checking WRMI for the new show `Las
Noches con Mirka`, in case it is on at this UT and on this frequency, which
were not specified in Mirka Pratts` publicity on WRMI FB, starting last Friday.
Apparently that is she I am hearing mixed with wall-of-noise jamming, off to a
great start, but what should she expect, at a time formerly occupied by a
prepeat of Radio Libertad??
It`s extremely informal chat with some musicians for the next hour, just a bit
of a music break around the half-hour. One topic was a Lecuona music festival
coming up in April. Heavy Cuban accents and they talk and laugh over each
other, even yell, in an echoey venue, all of which make it hard to understand,
so I never hear the hostess nor any of the guests explicitly identified ---
despite having soon switched to the webcast to evade the jamming, which at 2300
goes to Media Network Plus. Radio Libertad is still playing at its original
jammed time of 0000 UT March 4 (but not weekends) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9395 & 6855, UT Sat March 4 at 0307, `Shortwave Shindig` special is
underway via WRMI, live from the Winter SWL Fest, David Goren hosting with lots
of guests, shout-outs and -ins. After confirming this, I admit to listening to
the webcast direct from Plymouth Meeting, which was apparently the feed to
WRMI. And then two hours of WaveFarm`s Short Waves / Long Distance, which was
really a treat! If you missed it, look at all the radio art contained; maybe it
will be availablized ondemand??
https://wavefarm.org/ta/calendar/vgckss
It was uninterrupted until 0600*, but Richard Langley in NB says the feed was
lost to WRMI at 0435, and never came back, default to World Music; poor to no
reception anyway in that direxion (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7490, UT Sat Mar 4 from 0115 on WBCQ webcast since I`m at the
computer, `Allan Weiner Worldwide` without AW. It`s soon obviously live from
the 30th annual Winter Fest, hosted by Larry Will with Jane, and several other
voices I don`t recognize, nor are they identified. Just informal and irreverent
chat about what`s going on, some of the fora already. Seems AW himself is not
in attendance, to the disappointment of someone who wanted him to autograph his
book. Larry said there would be more from the Fest during his Saturday night
show, i.e. `Lumpy Gravy` at 0200-0300 UT Sunday on 5130v-AM. I thought this
might go on past 0200 tonight, but no, back to BS on 7490. There might be more
from the Fest on Saturday/UT Sunday via 7490 or even 9330 but no info about
that.
At 0010 UT March 5, John H Carver, Jr, in mid-north Indiana tells me,
``Broadcast live from the Fest on 5130 right now``. And at 0014: ``Now they are
playing something taped at the Fest eleven years ago. Will be back live in
about an hour.``
How about `Atlantic Oldies 2NG Radio`, which was appearing Saturdays in Feb at
2200-2300 on 7490? No more, per website http://2ngradio.com/
``2NG ON SHORTWAVE --- Our shortwave broadcasts for February have now
concluded. We hope to [be] back in April or May. In the meantime please enjoy
our internet stream by clicking to the left. eQSL acrds will be sent in the
next few weeks. Thank You for all your feedback``. He might have got more had
this ever appeared on the WBCQ schedule. I publicized it only because I ran
across it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9930, Sat Mar 4 at 1903, NO signal from WTWW-2, for `Theater Organ
from the Ozarx`. 9475 is loud with QSO show; 12105 is on but VP. Maybe 9930
came on shortly, for at 1920 recheck it`s S9+20 as Bob Heil is introducing
``From Paris Skies`` --- same tune heard last week and before that, so seems
Ted is playing same episode over & over! Ends at 1935, quick WTWW ID, and
ANOTHER repeat episode we recognize from weeks ago, from the Lincoln Theatre in
Belleville IL. Sometimes `Amateur Radio Newsline` plays after TOFTO instead
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9265, Sat March 4 at 1939, WINB in African language --- or is it
English with heavy accent? I hear ``immortality for life`` [sic] more than
once. Only S5-S4. WINB has already put up a schedule effective March 5! And
with correct EST/UT time conversions for one more week. Shows 1930 Sat is
`Gospel Distribution` with no further info --- not on the by-program list. I
vaguely recall this may have been a multi-lingual thing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
