Subject: [WOR] IRIB Arabic section started using 11690 KHz
Hello Dxers
I picked up the Arabic section of IRIB (with a fair Audio for a change) on
11690 KHz around 9:00 UTC in my QTH in Cairo Egypt
They used to be on 15135 KHz around that time of the day with only a carrier on
but no Audio for sometime. But today 15135 was off not even a carrier.
Best 73 and good DX

** BRAZIL. 28390 USB, March 14 at 2317, giving an S9-11 report to WN
something. CQ Contest in English from Papa papa five lima - stalyit??
Strange fonetik. Finally decide he`s trying to say ``Charlie`` with 3
syllables. QRZ.com: ``PP5LC Brazil flag Brazil, FALCONS DX GROUP,
Luciano Carlos da Silva "Luciano" Falcons DX Group, Rua Pedro Noberto
Rosa, sc, 88317192, Brazil``. Lots of other Braz on 10m phone, but
hardly any beacons from anywhere - which means the ``skip is long``
beyond N America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

13468-060/Americana, SP, Brazil`` -- addresses written by hams
themselves are often erroneous, as to spelling, capitalization,
punxuation, axentuation, so assume sic as it`s not my job to fix them

VG modulation in Spanish as ``Cubaonline``. 11760 is off; and 15140 is

** CUBA. 11880, March 14 at 1915, RHC English with ``Ed`` talking,
S9+10/20 into Georgia SDR, but suptorted! = modulation SUPpressed and
disTORTED, mostly readable if you put up with it. A different kind of
problem than usual. 15140 is much louder but so is the windhowl. 11760
not on. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11880, Mar 14 at 2126, RHC poorly audible in English into
Georgia SDR. Evidently a nominal English hour now also at 21-22 (Glenn

I wondered if relay or airchex of a real station? NRC AM Log has no
WDWA or WVWA; and no similar 970 call in NY or anywhere (Glenn Hauser,

Thanks this week to Martin Gallas, Springfield IL, who says, ``Glenn,
Thanks for your efforts to support Short Wave Radio all these years.
Let`s hope we all live to see sanity restored to our gov`t, more
specifically to the VOA, RFE, RFA etc.`` with a contribution by check
on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702.
One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to:

** U S A. 12160, Sat Mar 14 at 1700, new time for `The Talking [sic]
Machine Show` on WWCR-2, but reception is VP direct and to various NAm
remotes, with K=5 and G1/G2 geomag storms. We listen to it anyway via
stream, but the Windows Media Player just keeps repeating the greeting
and nothing else; we can hear it via the alternative Web Player,

but not via
https://www.gsradio.net/shows/WWCR_PLAYERS/wwcr2.html
This is very strange (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
