** BRAZIL. 5990, Radio Senado, *0850-0915, March 19, sign on with

** CHINA. Firedrake, March 19:
6030, in usual mix with Taiwan and other jamming, fair around 1315.
9350, none before or after 1330, nor on any other frequency in the area, unlike
24 hours earlier. Nor any FD to be heard on 8400, 10300 or anywhere up to 15
MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11760, RHC English missing March 18 at 2026 check, nothing on
frequency, tho Portuguese is running on 11770. New schedule effective March 20
shows first English broadcast moved one UT hour earlier to 19-20 on 11760, to
be confirmed; also earlied is the 5040 broadcast, back to original 23-24 as
last fall. The complete updated, edited and annotated new RHC sked has been
provided first to the DXLD yahoogroup.
13780, March 19 at 1402, RHC timecheck as 9 de la ma?ana ``en todo el
territorio nacional``, so still on UT -5 for one more day. As if Cuba might
have more than one timezone, they have to keep saying it applies to the entire
territory?
Hmmm, what about Guant?namo Bay? Is that T.N. or not? US military there might
find it more convenient to stay with US timechange dates, i.e. already UT-4,
but that could confuse the Cuban national civilian employees allowed into and
out of the base daily, if that is still the case, presumably having nothing to
do with the prison funxion (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 24938, big signal and almost only SSB ham on 12m is again CO8LY in
Santiago de Cuba, March 19 at 1506 with QRZ, CQDX, CQ 12 meters, in heavily
accented English, working station after station quickly including at 1507, WI9M
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, R. Africa cut off ending of one gospel huxter
March 18 at 2157, dead air when it would have been nice to insert an ID, and
2158 starting Tony Alamo show #236 (or 246?). Seems to be usual start time
within a minute or two for the disgraced sex-offending and incarcerated for 175
years evangelist (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE [non]. 11830, March 19 at 0604, news in French from RFI via SOUTH
AFRICA --- I kept expecting them to voice-over into Portuguese, which is the
language scheduled during this hour, but kept on in French for a few minutes
and still at a later check. Is the Portuguese really M-F only, like morning
English, since this was Saturday? Or missing due to selective strike? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4052.5-, March 19 at 0537 check, preacher in English, and now
good clear modulation unlike last mushy log of R. Verdad (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA [and non]. 9690, March 19 at 1326, pop vocal music, as AIR continues
to deprive GOS listeners of its own wonderful interval signal prior to the
1330-1500 English to SE Asia. 1330 that music stops, and ``Namaskar,`` YL
sign-on mentioning 9690, 11620, 13710, right into news by OM. Now with talk
only, the perpetual hum on 9690 is audible. Without it, I might guess it was
some other station! At 1336 checked 13710, but heard only a station in French,
i.e. CRI, 308 degrees from Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN, toward Europe (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JORDAN [and non]. 11960, rechecking my previous unID in Arabic until
0054.6*: March 19 at 0030 reception is awful, but sounds Spanish so presumably
Romania as scheduled this time. At 0505, very poor with heavy flutter in
Arabic, which is really when R. Jordan is scheduled for one hour only, but
variable per WRTH 2011 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9950, March 19 at 1432 playing ``Sakura``, much stronger
than adjacent 9955 WRMI; 1435 into Japanese announcements with jingles, from:
Furusato no Kaze, 100 kW, 345 degrees from Koror, PALAU, i.e. T8WH. Aoki also
reminds us that in previous 13-14 UT hour on 9950, Nippon no Kaze in Korean and
FnK in Japanese are instead 100 kW, 2 degrees from Taipei, Taiwan (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. 17725, VOAf from the GJ, still here March 19 at occasional chex up to
1553 in English, but only poor signal generally unreadable, and nothing on
21695 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 16560, March 19 at 1341 I am hearing a distorted weak signal from
local KCRC 1390 with weather, ID. Not an harmonic; could it be one of those MW
mixes with an extremely strong SW signal? So happens that 16560 minus 1390 =
15170: only problem is, REE Costa Rica has Saturdays off! Added the other way
gets 17950, nothing there, so remains a mystery. I include this as a curiosity,
not a DX tip anyone else further from KCRC could possibly hear (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. After checking LIBYA 17725, went up to 17745 at 1459 March 19
in anticipation of Sudan Radio Service, but nothing there. Sines, PORTUGAL cuts
on abruptly at *1500 with sign-on in English already in progress, string of
phone(?) numbers, overtly produced by ``Education Development Center, a project
of the US Agency for International Development``, then opening ``Let`s Talk``,
a radio drama series about democracy in Sudan, from the Sudan Radio Service.
Still in English later in this half hour, believed to be regularly on
Saturdays. Signal only fair, much weaker than Spain 17595 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1556 monitoring: confirmed timeshifted on WWCR: Friday
March 18 at 2030 on 7465, Saturday March 19 at 1600 on 12160. Final repeat to
be Sunday 0630 on 3215.
9955, WRMI Sat 1400 airing confirmed March 19 at 1428 closing with propagation
outlook; no jamming except 9965 bleed. Times on WRMI Sunday: 0800, 1530, 1730
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7415, WBCQ with `Allan Weiner Worldwide`, one UT hour earlier now,
around 0035 UT Saturday March 19 was talking about numerous program time
changes, including `Frecuencia al D?a`, which he just moved to 0000 UT
Tuesdays, now filled by something else at 2300 Mondays, so moving FAD to either
Tuesday or Thursday at 2115. That change not yet appearing by 1900 March 19,
but some of the others are, at
http://schedule.wbcq.com/main.php?fn=sked&freq=7415
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 15280, YFR in English March 18 at 2157-2200*, which Babcock
takes credit for as an ASCENSION relay, and with typical hum this once-great
site exhibits, plus trans-equatorial flutter much like not // 15195 also ending
at 2200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9405 and 13570, absolutely no signal audible on either from WINB, not
even a carrier, March 19 at 0602, tho Ascension was sufficient on 9410, and
Zambia on 13590. WINB has supposedly changed to 13570 all-night (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11715-, KJES, Saturday March 19 at 1425, VG S9+18 signal, but just
barely modulated with call-and-response catechisms (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1250, trying for the DX test from WYTH in Georgia, March 19:
monitored continuously from 0508 to 0530 UT, but nothing definite from this 1
kW non-direxional on daytime facilities, vs the dozens of other stations on
frequency, dominated by romantic music in Spanish from the NNE, i.e. KYYS
Kansas City KS (successor to WREN Topeka and share-timer KFKU Lawrence). Could
null that somewhat on the DX-398, but still too much QRM, much of it a
cacophony caused by multiple SAHs rather than propagational fading, as
countless stations do not bother to keep their transmitters precisely on
1250.000 as they should.
At 0508 I did think I was hearing a bit of Morse code in the mix, and again at
0523 code at imagination-level. A final check at 0610 during the second test
still found the Spanish dominant.
When I turned the radio back on at 1248 UT, KYYS had less competition, playing
``Te quiero, Mexico`` song, and ID as ``La Equis, la s?per-estaci?n`` by usual
hyper voice actor heard on countless SS stations on both sides of border.
?Qui?n es, anyway? Note that there is no X in the callsign, a stretch to make
KYYS the last syllable of e-quis. So this station is for Mexicans rather than
Americans? Do they ever play American patriotic music in any language? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Tuning up from 1250 to 1270, March 19 at 1251 UT I notice IBOC noise
around 1260 and also 1280, which means it`s coming from the Spanish station on
1270. Per
http://topazdesigns.com/iboc/station-list.html
it must be 50 kW KFLC Fort Worth rather than 5 kW KRVT Tulsa (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1510 still has audible het, March 19 at 1252 UT, and it`s warbling
slightly meaning the transmitter is not only off-frequency, but unstable.
Previously traced to KCTE Independence MO; and also again a het of the same
pitch, coincidentally? Previously traced to long-time off-frequency KMDO Fort
Scott KS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 25906, March 19 at 1509, scanning 11m SWBC band for anything of
interest, found only a weak SSB here speaking Brazilian, presumably freebander.
At this time, 10m was almost closed, only with some SSB around 28005, unlikely
to have been any licensed ham that low in the band, and a bit of CW a little
further up.
BTW, having reluctantly added another piece of gear to my multi-media shack, a
Samsung DVD-VR375, I find that when plugged in but ``off`` it puts out whining
noise blobs approx. every 65 kHz between 18230 and 25370. So that makes about
110 frequencies possibly blocked for DX, the frequency range no doubt depending
on proximity to the antenna. Fortunately they are not very strong, but
certainly annoying, first noted in the 13m band: 21470, 21535, 21600, 21665,
21730, 21795 but not inside 16m. I`ve yet to investigate where the spurs fall
when it is ``on`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

I may as well reply now on lists in case anyone else is wondering.
Since logs are sorted by country of origin, if the item involves anywhere else,
such as relay sites, additional countries mentioned e.g. as interference or
related logs, and/or broadcasts TO the country concerned, `non` applies,
meaning not only strictly about the country to which the non is appended. Glenn

** ALBANIA. 6130, March 20 at 0139 checked the 0130-0145 English from R.
Tirana: low modulation and ACI from Spain 6125, bonker on hi side made it
impossible to understand. Those were bonker pulses, but no long one, just
continuous at same rate.
In A-11 from March 29, if not already UT March 27, the evening broadcasts to
NAm, except UT Mondays, shift one UT hour earlier and up in frequencies:
0030-0045 on 9860; 0145-0200, 0230-0300 and 0330-0400 on 7425, which we hope
will get thru better (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA. 15345.2, R. Nacional, March 20 at 0025, romantic music, fair and
better signal than Brasil 15190- (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL [and non]. 15190-, March 20 at 0022, R. Inconfid?ncia music, poor
with flutter, and slightly on low side compared to 1190. This is the final week
we may enjoy ZYE522 QRM-free at this time, for in A-11, WYFR will resume 15190
at 2200-2445 --- even worse, in Portuguese to Brasil! Bully. Of course, Brazil
does not register any of its numerous SW stations on the international bands
with HFCC, so the big guns may pretend they don`t exist. WYFR will also block
``Tony Al?mo`` at 2158 on Equatorial Guinea, tsk2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 2749-USB, March 20 at 0041, marine weather in English, mentions
Magdalen, ADT; slowly improving signal, 0048 mentions Cape Breton Island,
notice to shipping. OM announcer unseems robotic. Per
http://www.dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm#O%20ATL
this is VCO in Sydney NS, scheduled at 0040.
2598-USB I tuned in next at 0048 March 20, not as strong as 2749, with YL
marine weather, repeatedly mentioning visibilities. Above reference shows VCP-4
in St Lawrence-Placentia, Newfoundland, starts at 0048, alternating with 5
other NL stations and one in QC.
A thunderstorm had moved thru Enid a few hours earlier, cleaning up much of the
line noise level, and was far enough away by now not to cause much lightning
static, accounting for this good DX session (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake early UT March 20:
14900, fair with flutter at 0019; none found lower, but higher:
15900, poor at 0027
16980, good at 0028, all // and no trace of presumed victims, Sound of Hope. No
more FD heard up to 22 MHz by 0033 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [non]. 15120, March 20 at 0020, Radio Internacional de China, S9+20
signal in Spanish via Cuba but very undermodulated and hummy (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11760, March 19 at 2025, RHC in English as scheduled, tho missing
yesterday when checked during this hour. From March 20, new schedule shows
English shifts to 19-20, with French at 2000-2030 and nothing after 2030.
11760 and 12040 with doo-wop song in Spanish, March 20 at 0015, and 12040 has
good modulation for a change! Much stronger 12010 which is supposed to be //
was only dead air, and still so at 0037.
15370, RHC in Quechua, March 20 at 0026 liberally mixed with Spanish such as
``5 de abril`` and a song in Spanish. 0000-0030 on 15370 is the only Quechua
scheduled now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. 2279.9, March 20 at 0223, music and talk, significantly
on the low side of 2280 compared to 1280; 0229 a little stronger but modulation
is somewhat distorted during talk, and music is also undermodulated and
distorted. No doubt it`s the second harmonic of 1140, R. Anacaona, as
previously IDed. Also a slight het from weaker 2280.0, perhaps another
harmonic. I first looked for HIRA a couple hours earlier, but not above the
noise level then (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4052.5-, TGAV, March 20 at 0240, amateur YL singing hymn in
Spanish with piano accompaniment, good modulation and fair signal. It was
already audible before 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUYANA. 3290, VOG for once with no carrier QRM/het on the low side, March 20
at 0234, DJ taking call-ins from three or four listeners, presumably nearby,
reporting ``loud and clear`` --- this could be a good time for DXers from
abroad to phone in and surprise them, if only we knew the number. Fades up bits
of music between calls, which I find quite disrespectful to the music and those
who made it. 0236 a bit of a Hindi song, and 0239 more S Asian music with
percussion, tambourine, singing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. Checking the pirate band, March 20 at 0112, circa 6900 heard
end of a QSO, someone saying he enjoyed the broadcast, but ``over`` before I
could pin down the frequency.
6925-USB peaking S9+12 with no carrier had music in progress at 0113, YL vocal
in big band style, quick ID as ``Wolverine Radio``, next song ``You Are My
Special Angel`` and followed by a long series of angelsongs, with no
announcements except same ID inserted between every few songs:
0116 another angel song I did not recognize.
0119 ``Devil or Angel``
0121 ``Pretty Little Angel Eyes``
0123 ID and ``Angel Smile`` by Nat King Cole
0126 YL blues song mentioning angel
0129 ``Gotta Find Me an Angel``, Aretha Franklin, starting with narrative
0133 ``Angel Come Down From Heaven``
0137 ID, another unID song
0140 ``I`m No Angel``
0144 ``Make Me An Angel``, YL country song
Some of these may not be correct titles, just lyrics heard. After that, my
attention was split to Ask WWCR, but further songs not recognized anyway and
may have moved on from angelic. 0201 ID as Wolverine Radio, into SSTV tones
until 0207* Please QSL (Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6924+ AM, soon after Wolverine signed off, March 20 at 0209 a
carrier came on a slightly lower frequency producing het as I was still in SSB.
Some percussion, but both music and announcements were muffled, even tho AM,
much harder to copy than Wolverine had been on USB. Could not catch any ID
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA [and non]. 11960, March 20 at 0056-0057.2* RRI IS following Spanish
to SAm, completely unlike what I heard 72 hours earlier in Arabic and no such
IS to 0054.6*.
5910, March 20 at 0106 rock music not in English, CCI and fast rippling SAH,
presumably RRI in Romanian scheduled 01-03, vs. Alcarav?n Radio, COLOMBIA,
rather off-frequency. I wonder if HJDH dominates in its local area during this
bihour on all those fix-tuned receivers (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TINIAN. 21580, March 20 at 0033, YL in Chinese, OSOB. Suspect it is VOA in
Mandarin as scheduled this hour only, rather than ChiCom jamming, as the
Pacific signals make it here much better than the Asian ones on 13m. Is Tinian
per HFCC, not Tinang as in Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 2390, WWRB, March 20 at 0055 with VG signal, but inside noise
envelope extending +/- 20 kHz. Also modulation spikes as far as 2250-2520 or
so. Same situation at 0225 recheck. Altho this crackling is centered on 2390, I
had a hard time matching it to modulation peaks on 2390 itself, so not positive
WWRB was responsible. At 0231 was the mid-break of `Mike Gibson`s Bluegrass
Gospel Hour` from Hueytown AL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7555, March 20 at 0116, S9+22 carrier from KJES, but just barely
modulated --- turned volume up to max and still could not copy anything.
Anyhow, confirms they have made usual DST shift to one UT hour earlier when
axually on the air: 0100-0230; but why bother?
WRNO should have done the same, now starting at 0100 on 7506, but still AWOL
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 4840, monitored the first airing of `Ask WWCR` #335 for 3/19 to 4/1.
At 0146 tune-in UT March 20, Lyon show was still running, and began to fear
`Ask` had been bumped for paid programming as they said could happen just like
the ex-DX Block, but it was only late, from 0148 to 0201.
Brady and Jerry, soon to be a full professor, were discussing frequency usage,
and obliquely responded to some comments of mine. Emphasized they are testing
3195 in order to ferret out any complaints now so they will be OK to use it
next winter, but it and 5070 are being suspended once A-11 starts, altho still
reserved and might test both at other times, such as 3195 in the early
mornings. Yes, 3195 as early as 2200 does not work now to the west, but better
to the east and when they start using it next winter at 2300, that will be
after sunset. Will keep it on another week. Brady posts new schedules on
Sundays they go into effect, not earlier, since more than one schedule on the
page would confuse listeners.
I say: not if they pay any attention to clearly stated dates in effect; putting
up schedules somewhat in advance is advantageous for stations if they want them
to be published in monthly bulletins with a week or two lead time. E.g. the
NASWA Journal for April could not publish the WWCR schedule in effect by the
time it reaches readers, if it is not known until March 27, which is after it
goes to the printer, so would have to wait till early May to be seen.
6940, after monitoring the pirates on 6925 and 6924, at 0222 March 20 refound
this WWCR mixing product, of 4840 leapfrogging over 5890 another 1050 kHz
higher, confirmed by // audio to both; weak but still audible with max
attenuation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
