Note: all logs in this report between 2340 UT March 28 and 1330 UT March 29
employed my ``inside longwire`` strung around the ceiling to the R75, because
of heavy storms. This virtually got rid of the line noise the regular outside
LW has been picking up; I was hoping long-needed 3+ inches of rain would have
washed off the lines/insulators, but the noise was still there with the
external LW rehookedup, altho maybe somewhat diminished.
** BRAZIL. 6180 & 11780, March 28 at 2347 check, RNA/RNB still missing for the
ninth day in a row (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1871, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 7465, March 29 at 0546, R. Mart? is loud & clear, no
jamming, while 7435 is jammed against nothing. The DentroCuban Jamming Command
still hasn`t figured out the new RM schedule, which is in HFCC for all to see,
i.e. 7435 only at 03-05, preceded and succeeded by 7365.
9805, March 30 at 1142, wall of noise jamming are strongest signal on 31m now,
can`t hear R. Mart? which is on 9805 at 10-13. Strangely, RHC 31m frequencies,
9850 & 9820 are JBA carriers, as are WRMIs on 9955, 9395. A Greenville
frequency not jammed is 9610 for Vatican relay but also JBA carrier. I wonder
if the jammers on 9805 are from the eastern end of Cuba which would be
propagating better this early (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 7425, March 30 at 0717, RNZI is good at S9+10 with PNG news, on
its latest new frequency, now scheduled 0659-1258 daily, the last bihour on the
NNW antenna worse for us (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA [non]. 5960.03, March 29 at 0540, African language at S9 plus some
hum, mentions Nigeria at least twice. I think the hum is really caused by two
stations, the other one closer to 5960.00. HFCC shows at 0500-0600 only
ASCENSION, with a BaBcoCk transmission in the Kau language, 250 kW at 55
degrees, so what is it, really? Per EiBi`s readme.txt language table, it`s not
the Kau Bru language of India, but Kanuri of Nigeria and neighbors. Therefore
the station is Dandal Kura Radio International, presumably ex-7415 in B-16.
HFCC shows the only other thing on 5960 now is R. Kuwait in Arabic, but we have
no confirmation that they have really transformed from wooden to alive. So
maybe there is really only Ascension, which does suffer from some hum on
certain transmitters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Earthquake felt at WOR HQ, chair shaking for a few seconds, and
heard house creaking, March 29 at 1538:01 UT. USGS initially reported it as
``4.1, 10km E of Medford, Oklahoma, 2017-03-29 15:37:41 (UTC), 2.9 km [deep]``.
According to the Enid Eagle it was later upgraded to 4.4, 32 miles NNE of Enid,
1 mile deep. Note the time delay from the USGS clock, of 20 seconds, which
seems to be typical for quakes near but not exactly in Enid. No RF effects were
noted, but significant (felt) quakes are recorded along with my radio log
reports here. Tnx a lot, you frackers!
Another quake the next morning: ``2.8, 20km W of Perry, Oklahoma, 2017-03-30
14:48:30 (UTC), 5.0 km`` was also uncomfortably close to Enid, but not felt
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, March 29 at 0028, JBA carrier from R. Chaski even detectable on
my inside-longwire required because of heavy storms, until autocutoff at
0103:57*, which is 12.5 seconds later than two nights ago, March 27 to
0103:44.5*, averaging only 6.25 per (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1870 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday March 28
at 2130 on WRMI 15770, good, and 6855, very poor. Also confirmed Tue Mar 28 at
2340 the 2330 broadcast on WBCQ more than 1 kHz off-frequency, 9328.99v-CUSB,
fair. Also confirmed Wed March 29 at 1323, the 1315.5 WOR broadcast on WRMI
9955, fair, but no longer with // 6855, which has switched to duplicate Oldies
on 9395. Lite jamming is audible on 9955 by WOR finish at 1344; tnx a lot,
Arnie! Also confirmed Wed March 29 at 2100 on WBCQ, 7490.05v-AM, S9 vs noise
level of S6. Also confirmed Wed Mar 29 at 2330 on WBCQ 9329.1v-CUSB, fair.

WOR 1871 monitoring: not confirmed Thu March 30 at 1141 on WRMI 9955 which is a
JBA carrier, but presumably with WOR. We still haven`t recovered from latest G1
storms, K index 3 at 1200, altho solar flux for March 29 was higher than
predicted, a hefty 83, per WWV.
Also note that as of March 29, Keith Weston says all the podcast versions of
WORLD OF RADIO have been restored after a server crash.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 6855, March 29 at 0029, this WRMI is now // 9395 with Oldies format,
as soon also canned ID. Continues same at 0106 check; 0132 canned ID still
mentions 9395 only: Bob Biermann will have to re-do all of those. Still same at
0203. But at 0312, has become // 5985 in Spanish, i.e. Taiwan relay as before.
By 0543, 6855 is back to duplicate 9395, a song ``I heard you`re getting
married``. At 1323 still music // 9395, so no more alternative for WORLD OF
RADIO Wed at 1315.5. We knew 6855 was no longer // 9955 before 1200, but also
Thursday March 30 at 1142, ``I`m Sorry`` song and ID for 9395 only, which is a
JBA carrier at this hour. Then I look up the WRMI skedgrid, and find that 6855
WRMI-5 has been changed to show Oldies same as WRMI-6 on 9395 during these
hours, never duplicating 9955 any more:
0000-0300 (except UT Thu 00-01 V. of the Report of the Week on both)
0430-1000
1100-2000
2200-2400
That leaves these hours when 6855 is still // other frequencies:
0300-0400 RTI Spanish // 5985
0400-0430 NHK Spanish // 5985
1000-1100 various // 5850 including WOR Wednesday 1030
2000-2100 various // 11580
2100-2200 various // 15770 including WOR Tuesday 2130
It also shows one hour of Overcomer now on 9395 at 23-24 (the moanin` &
groanin` evening worship service).
The separate program schedule below the transmission schedule still shows 6855
only at 0000-0100 with Xmas Radio on UT Mondays, which recently had been
showing up some other days too on 6855. Unclear whether that is still the case
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1871, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11580, UT Wed March 29 at 0136, Keith Perron with a PCJ program on
WRMI, plugging becoming a patron of patreon, fund raising to digitize recording
archive from R. Nederland`s Happy Station, see https://www.patreon.com/pcjradio
--- I didn`t hear him spell it so first sought it as patrion, no go. Current
goal is only $200: ``When Happy Station reaches a goal of 200$ a month. We will
produce special programs for broadcast on shortwave.`` Good signal now at
S9+10, fortunately not fading out yet as there is no lower frequency available
for this. After some jazz music, 0151 he`s already wrapping up, saying goodbye
in Spanish, English, French, German, Japanese (I think all those), but never
Chinese. 0155 Happy Station promo, for upcoming 90th anniversary, plug patreon
again; there are also some 16mm films needing restoration and digitizing. 0200,
over to R. Ukraine International relay on 11580, starting with the latest (?)
war casualty statistics caused by Putinic Russian
imperialism.
5850, Wed March 29 at 1003 check, `Wavescan` confirmed on now, presumably to be
followed by WORLD OF RADIO at 1030. MUF has fallen so low before sunrise that
7570 WRMIBS is JBA, and can`t confirm 6855 is still // 5850 as scheduled. Back
to sleep.
5850 // weakened 7730, UT Thursday March 30 at 0707 I am unfortunately awake so
check WRMI and yes, the PCJ show is still airing now instead of Fridays as on
skedgrid (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, UT Wed March 29 at 0420, WRMI is playing ``Hey Jude``, but not
// 9395 Oldies; O, it`s FG Radio as now scheduled 0415 Wed & Fri, squandering
its airtime to play old Beatles tunes rather than any news from Cyprus (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7490.06v-AM, Tue March 28 before 2400, it`s the `Alan Sane` show on
WBCQ; he has an obvious website unlike the next show: recheck at 0038 UT Wed
March 29, now `Dead Frog Radio` including plugs for WBCQ fundraising. Faux ads
for Lake City, apparently the one in Florida, also mentioning Ocala, phone
731-6875. Is that where DF`s prison is located?
9338.934V-CUSB, March 30 at 1420, Brother Scare via WBCQ is more than 1 kHz low
now, and audibly varying as I try to measure it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** ZANZIBAR. 11735, March 29 at 2055, ZBC presumed the S4-S7 carrier seems just
barely modulated, but can`t make out noise others report it is emanating; can
only detect that it cuts off at 2059:40*. I wonder if the morning frequency c.
0300, 6015 is likewise affected? Haven`t heard it well enough to tell, either
