Earlier it had been reported active on 9900 during French. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 21610-21615-21620, March 12 at 1556, DRM noise at S9 and nothing else on 13m band. It`s TDF ISS spanning 1530/1900 per EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GUAM. 15215, March 12 at 2205, ``Silent Night`` in oriental language, S0/S2, Vietnamese as sked this hour from KSDA. Could it be the 7DA hint their saviour was really allegedly born in springtime, not that pagan winter solstice nonsense? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 17630, March 12 at 1557, American English discussion of AI, S7/S9 one of best signals on band. Therefore must be CRI as scheduled via Bamako toward E Africa. So this keeps Mali on SW despite absence lately of ORTM. The Malians ought to insist as part of the relay deal, the ChiCom keep their own transmitter working properly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960.005, March 12 at 2300, VOT not off the air in English, VG S9+35/45 into UTwente as usual M announcer signs on the 1330 broadcast -- only, which is also often the only one mentioned at sign-off, and into news - or rather olds, no newer than 9.5 hours ago! Something`s always awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17680, after yesterday`s surprise appearance of R. Mart? at 1939, checking earlier in the day March 12, not on before 1700, but on by 1744 recheck, probably from 1700, VG S9+15/25 signal into UTwente. It`s Spanish but all about Ukrussia rather than Cuba, first playing satirical folk?song in Ukrainian or Russian with Putin in the lyrix. 1746 RM 1180 ID. 1747 phone interview about topic A. 1755 VOA sounder and USG editorial, in Spanish, about you-know-what. 1800 contact info on social nets, email, and `Abriendo Espacios` show opening, half an hour about ``Cuban women`` but also really about Ukrussia, and lasts until 1842 IDs again. UTwente is getting nothing but carriers at best from 11860, 11930, 13820, as to be expected aimed at Cuba; checking Maryland remote, again totally non-// programming to 17680. Meanwhile a source at Grimesland says it`s a new service to reach Cubans fighting for Russia in Ukraine -- volunteers, or convicts? -- as if they had time or inclination to listen to RM! 250 kW at 45 degrees. Further listening to 17680 is nothing but topic-A in Spanish. 1849 repeating the VOA editorial. Interviewing native-Spanish speaking Ukrainians, 1857 a profesora Tatiana in Odesa; 2030 Anastasia Schmidt? from Mikolaiv, with some accent. At 1856 had mentioned podcasts, and that may be source of this audio, accounting for no breaks at top-of-hours as to be expected on a `live` broadcast. Would not be surprised at considerable repetition from hour to hour or day to day, but would have to listen a lot more to determine that. 2034 a very dramatic poem with music. 2036 discusses pronunciation of names correctly in Ukrainian versions rather than Russian. 2043 the stirring Ukrainian national anthem, not in Spanish. 2045 interview of Russlan -- enumerating Russian losses in the war. 2100 VOA Yankee Doodle Dandy s/ON, played twice, by mistake, pause, then 2102 VOA YDD s/OFF and off*. So 17-21 UT daily? Or temporarily (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2233 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday March 12 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S7/S9 into Maryland SDR, way offbeam but I happen to have running, and ``getouttamyfrequency`` utenoiseblast audible first 14 sex.

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15555 USB, March 12 at 2159, WJHR s/off with contact info accompanied by `Old Rugged Cross` tune, and off 2200. 9275 WMLK was also still on at 2159 but goone when I got back to it after 2200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 750 kHz, March 12 at 0638 UT, two weak sigs mixing, one talk, one rock. Checking since WSB had been reported off. They make a SAH of 40/minute = 0.67 Hz apart. If on at full 50 kW U1, WSB should be dominant. Shortly the music morphs to talk? Some net talkshows do have music breaks. But *0647.8 what must be WSB cuts on with bigsig talking. From experience, I know the most likely other one would be CKJH, ``Beach [sic] Radio`` in landlocked Melfort, Saskatchewan, 25/25 kW U4 despite supposed to be direxional-north at night. Many Canadian MW fail to protect US stations as licensed. For once, the SAH fits neatly per mwoffsets, both measured last August: CKJH on 749.9995, WSB on 750.0002, i.e. 0.7 Hz apart! IRCA posts in reverse order leading up to this: ``DX Alert: WSB 750 off air, Rick Kenneally, 2:06pm #40306 Wow, catching up on Slack it seems much more than Argentina was heard. Sounds like an amazing night on 750.`` ``Paul Crankshaw 11:30am #40304 WSB off at 0410 utc but back on after a stutter at 0640. See my Jaguar plot of 750 kHz carriers - attached. Paul, Troon, Scotland`` ``Rick Kenneally 11:22am #40303 Oh exciting! Normally I record overnight on the west wire. But it came down in the windstorm so I?m recording overnight on the south wire. Should be interesting. Will review this weekend. Thanks Mike. Rick, Wilton, CT`` ``Paul B.

So 17-21 UT daily?

I was seeking some music to nap by, maybe 17600 Algeria, till I hit this; medical discussion, then 1942, about IWD and Ukraine with a song, apparent program title `Abriendo Espacios`. What could this be. Unsounds like RHC which presumably supports Putin but no //s on to check, not even 15140 English. Not // Spain on 17715. VOA? Deleted SW Spanish years ago. Not // R. Mart? 13820, 11930, 11860 --- BUT at 1947 ID as ``Martinoticias AM 1180 y onda corta``. So it is Grimesland! I recheck on another receiver the lower Mart? frequencies and they are // each other but NOT this, altho subject is also Ukraine. Maybe same but far out of synch, not merely a few seconds. How could that happen? 17680 off before next check 2201. Maybe a test. If permanentized could obscure NZ 17675, not even noticed today. Also, I occasionally check 35790 for 3 x 11930 which made it to Alberta, but mostly not even a JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2024 00:32:30 +0000 (UTC) From: Glenn Hauser <wghau...@yahoo.com> To: WOR DXLD <w...@groups.io> Cc: bcln...@groups.io, primetimeshortw...@groups.io, o...@groups.io, hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com, internetra...@hard-core-dx.com, swprogr...@hard-core-dx.com, na...@groups.io Subject: [HCDX] Jen's Tick Tock of a show for Sun 3-10 heard on Unique R, Australia is up & ready for you Message-ID: <74049094.2030339.1710289950...@mail.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Subject: Jen's Tick Tock of a show for Sun 3-10 heard on Unique R, Australia is up & ready for you Hi Glenn, I hope everything's fine.
