[Edited Message Follows]
the chatroom on the Twente sdr is claiming this is VOIRI on an unscheduled
frequency. Low modulation certainly matches Sirjan levels. I've not heard any
ID and language is Farsi or Arabic. my recording from 1852-1904 via French

``LU3DK Argentina flag Argentina, Claudio Hector Luna, Gral. Frias 74
Jun?n - BUENOS AIRES 6000, Argentina -- DON?T LET THE QSL-CARD CULTURE
BE LOST!!!!`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Tue Mar 17 at 2305, RAE via WRMI finally
back to Portuguese, and `Atualidade DX`, with continuous tango music
in background. YL host. I missed first part, but talking about CFRX
6070. Then about several Denmark stations, such as Radio 208 on 1440
kHz, 5970. Which closed on 31 May 2020. Alemanha: R. Mi Amigo
Internacional; Europa 24 at 0733 on 6150 via Datteln. 2309 credit
Arnaldo Slaen. Despite the show name, it appears trying to be
historical rather than current DX tips, mentioned several other years
in the past. Multi-lingual ID reel and 2310 into next topic:
anniversary of the March 17, 1992 bombing of the Israeli embassy in
Buenos Aires; In 2017 this date was established as an annual memorial.
Hezbollah was blamed, but still not certain who did it. 2313 switches
to Spanish about this and no translation by the time I tune out. Since
this is March 17, gives the impression this broadcast was axually
produced today, or for airing today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [non]. 11880, March 17 at 1407, discussion in American
English, S6/S7, must be CRI as listed via Kashgar this hour only.
Certainly not RHC, as I have been checking all their regular
frequencies, and no sign of them at all as the American apag?n
continues. FWIW, EiBi shows RHC on 11880 between 15 and 23 only (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13650, March 17 at 2314, still no signal from CRI music
instead of Portuguese relay; no RHC frequencies found either but on
5025 a JBA carrier, presumably Rebelde. News reported some power was
being restored by now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. ``Some recent software issues have caused World of
Radio to be broadcast at the wrong times. We're working on it and
sometimes we live stream it. Hopefully all will be resolved by the UK
clock change day on March 29th. 73's Gary Drew Worldwide ?

12, 2026. 0139-0159, WRMI-World of Radio, Okeechobee-FL, in English to
Caribbean/CIRAFs 10-12. WOR, DX program presented by Glenn Hauser.

WORLD OF RADIO 2338 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday March 17 at 0030
on WRMI 7780, S9+15/20 into Georgia SDR.
Also confirmed Tuesday March 17 at 1400 on WRMI 9955, S9+10 direct.
Also confirmed Tuesday March 17 at 1500 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 direct.
Also confirmed Tuesday March 17 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1322.996+, S8 but noisy into UTwente. Next:

2330 UT Thursday WRMI 5950 to NNW [NEW].
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:
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Bob Biermann replies to me about the delay getting WTWW 5085
back on air: ``The truth is the number of us that can work on these
transmitters shrinks everyday. It is beyond critical. Last week I
needed to call Continental Electronics for a part for WRMI.
Continental is the last remaining US Shortwave transmitter
manufacturer. Nobody would answer the phone. I tried for several days.
I hear they may be exiting the SW sector. That means no more custom
parts. That will leave only China, India, and a very expensive
European company with a three year lag time`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VENEZUELA. 28475 USB, March 17 at 2213, YV4EBD calling some more DX
station. QRZ.com: ``YV4EBD Venezuela flag Venezuela, Edgardo "ED"
Perez,
Valencia 2001, Venezuela`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9490, March 17, originally very strong open carrier as
in last report from 0206, finally cuts off air about 0359* into
Georgia SDR.
Another 9490 report, from JRX in Brasil: ``FRANCE, 9490. Wed, Mar 11,
2026. 0209-0220, Radio Rep?blica, Issoudun-F, in Spanish to Cuba. Good
signal, S9 +20, dead air! The transmission problem continues. CLA
Station.`` Unclear how he can be certain of such identity (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
