Presumably NF for one of the Algerian sites: I vaguely recall they`ve been on 5900 before, but can`t find a report. Soon YL talk in Arabic before more music. Scan of all bands upward to 13 MHz does not find another one to make //. Not on 9500, so I wonder if accidentally they reversed the digits? We shall hear if this recur. But 9500 supposedly at 00-06 only. I`m checking 5900 following this from Jim Renfrew, NY, at 0415: ``Radio Coran 5900 --- Glenn, while attempting to listen to the theological renditions of Brother Stair on 5900 khz from Kostinbrod, Bulgaria, on March 17, at 0305 UTC, I instead found a Koranic program of some kind - very strong - with Overcomers way underneath (and parallel to 6160 WBCQ). At 0400 the 5900 station has a national anthem - familiar, but I can't place it. Ah, there it is, at 0406 an English ID "Holy Koran Radio, Algeria" and the same in French, then back to Koranic readings. Frequency appears to be unlisted in WRTH and recent NASWA bulletins. Seems parallel to 7440, but weak there and hard to be certain. Brother Stair, tonight (from beyond the grave, I suppose) is all about the appearance of "Planet X" and how the Norwegians have a plan to rescue their population. Jim Renfrew, Clarendon NY`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6060, March 17 at 0637, RHC Spanish not English, S9+10 undermodulated, only channel still on. Something`s always wrong at RHC. The Other Side: ``'Elections' in Cuba: False Representation and Tons of Propaganda --- The fact that the list of candidates includes people from all the provinces and municipalities does not mean that all the territories are actually represented in the Cuban Parliament. Luc?a Alfonso Mirabal, La Habana 17 Mar 2023 - 14:48 CET...`` https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1679060890_45890.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 24940 USB, March 17 at 2101, CO8LY calling QRZ and having no problem working lots of Yanquis. IIRC he`s a fixture on 12m. But I last logged him exactly one biyear ago, March 17, 2021 on 18137, Eduardo in Santiago (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, March 17 at 0652, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati and nothing else in 9/kHz splits; glad to detect again after several nights. Gary Pence, KM5X, TX, says, ``Kiribati is S8 at NH6XO in Oahu at 0728z`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 17460.000+, March 17 at 1825, a speech, in Turkish? Maybe it`s Recep. S9+45 into UTwente, with some roaring in background. No het and no other signals in the area now. After long speech, 1842 songs start. Still going past 1900, but now with a fast rippling SAH from an understation several Hz off, not 250 Hz off as previously from Tashkent. As reported March 15, Deng? Welat started using 17470- via Uzbekistan, hit by jamming March 16, and earlier today was playing cat-and-mouse with Turkish jammer jumping around 10 kHz intervals. Jose Jacob, India, also reported AWR in Hindi on unlisted 17460 until 1545 switch to another language - wonder if that were a mistake at Tashkent? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 28171 CW, March 17 at 2056, XE1FAS/B, 5-watt beacon in Puebla, as logged before on Feb 20; see that report for more details. Many more beeping up to 28300; I cannot spend all the time it would take to chase all those down, but doubt many or any would be from rare places (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 4015 USB, March 17 at 0406, JBA music into Missouri remote. I`m checking because of this on the WOR iog a few minutes earlier at 0402 from Lucas Bandura in BC: ``Re: [WOR] Vostochnaya Zvezda (Eastern Star) on 4015 USB 24/7 --- He was absent from March 13-15 (UTC), but returned on March 16. Playing what I think is Russian metal now. Best heard on the KFS SE KiwiSDR in California.`` That followed up his original post at 0807 UT March 12: ``This pirate has been on 4015 USB non-stop for a few days now. It seems he is associated with Radio Pushka (now inactive on shortwave) but it is not the same station. I have been logging this on the HFU but so far only Token has heard it direct (from his QTH in California). Radio Pushka claimed to be in Arizona and this station seems to be from somewhere very close to where Radio Pushka is. Best reception on a KiwiSDR I have found is the KFS SE in California. Maybe someone here can hear this station on 4015 USB? Even here in British Columbia there is no sign of it.`` I monitor it further for the next bihour, changing to the SE antenna of KFS remote, fortunately since 7 of the 8 RX are tied up by those dratted WSPR daemons, each tuned to a different hamband. The one already on 4015 is from Chase BC, likely Lucas himself, so I camp on him, and soon take it over when he quits. Thus it`s S6/S8 with nothing but pop music, most of it instrumental and not recognized; occasional lyrix I cannot discern if in Russian or English. Never any IDs or any other announcements, but several times per hour plays the nostalgic 10-note Mayak IS twice on chimes, ``Midnight in Moscow`` or more properly, ``Moscow Nights``, at: 0416, 0432, 0450, 0456, 0503, 0512, [I`m away a while], 0545. Still going at 0607 when I quit. Gary Pence found northern Utah remote was better. There was no ToH ID at 0500; at 0537 I get a trace of music direct vs S9 storm noise from central TX across northern LA into MS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 12030, 9690, 11940, 11685, Friday March 17 at 2304, token English from SNR, all four on into Virginia SDR. 12030 ME is slightly better than 9690 NAm, while 11685 Af faces usual RTTY QRM. Justin Coe`s feature is an interview at a Madrid gallery about the painter Lucian Freud. Totally invisible on the radio! So I look on the web. They admit he was grandson of Sigmund but supposedly not influenced by him. Gallery online shows he specialized in portraits, and *all of them UGLY!* Enough of that. Turkey fails to broadcast today so I have no choice but listening to Spain. BTW, A-23 channels will again be 17855, 15520, 17715, 11670 respectively. Cuba registered 15520 and might collide until 2100, but Spaingl?s will then be at 2200 M/W/F (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [non]. 5960, March 17 at 2300, VOT English for us fails today, no signal even unto UTwente. Later at 2312 & 2323 chex, occupied only by Chinese from XJPBS, Urumqi, East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems. So I may freely listen to simulSpain, q.v. but it`s ugly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 365 MCW kHz, March 17 at 0658 UT, AA, 100-watt ND beacon at Fargo / Harwoood ND is JBA vis TX/AR storm noise. Only a couple of the regular Canadians also (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 26110 NBFM, March 17 at 1526 UT, KMK282 with 8:26 timecheck, S7 into Missouri SDR. Despite NBFM mode, in SAM tuning displays carrier minus 54 Hz, = 26109.946 kHz. Fluff show IDs at 1530 as ``This is Good Day``; as on the multi-channel CBS Sacramento sked at: https://www.cbsnews.com/sacramento/program-guide/ which shows on weekdays it`s four hours at 7-11 am PDT = 14-18 UT! I let it run but pay no further attention, and Squelch avoids noise during the breaks. Earlier I mis-read alignment on the program sked. This show is not on 13.3, which carries Dabl, but on 31.1, i.e. CW31 = KMAX, not KOVR at all. But the previous hours on 31.1 at 1130-14 UT do carry CBS13 News // 13.1. So KMK282 could be in use intermittently anytime during those long hours whether ionospherically propagating or not (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2152 monitoring: confirmed what is now the first weekly airing on WRMI: Friday March 17 at 1430, ex-1530, on 9955, but direct is S7/S9 vs noise level and undermodulated altho no jamming audible. Later find it better into Maryland SDR, but not making it to Bonaire or Bras?lia where it`s aimed. Stayed on at 1459 with a bit of `In the Bleak Midwinter` a few days before Spring, and gospel huxter after 1500, but off by next check 1519. Also confirmed Friday March 17 at 2157 the 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, VG S9+15/20 into nearby Noale SDR. 2159 usual IRRS ``s/off`` but stays on with news and then some music. Not sure when really turned off but music at 2218 is only S9+5/10, probably Smooth Radio, Brighton, England.

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5010, March 17 at 0630, S9+10/20 of dead air from WRMI supposedly BSing all night. Something`s odd at Okeechobee. I always wonder if anyhuman is overhearing it overnight (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9975, UT Fri Mar 17 at 0346, quick 2-second check confirms something on here and has to be KVOH. Program sked has been updated as of Mar 12 for DST, also showing expansion to *4* nights per week, instead of only 3, making up for lost time? i.e. UT Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon: https://voiceofhope.com/schedule/kvoh_program_grid.pdf So that gives them four chances to fail instead of three, maybe more favorable odds? Still totally gospel-huxtering tho some shows are disguised as secular music; except for two DX programs, AWR Wavescan UT Monday 0000, and Frecuencia al D?a, UT Sunday 0000. They had a chance to carry WOR but blew it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, March 17 at 0638, VP with Doppler flutter, or are there two signals? At 0658, S5/S8 should be strong enough to detect modulation if any, but none, fluttery, and still on past 0701, presumed R. Vanuatu. Gary Pence, KM5X, TX, tells me at 0729: ``Hi Glenn, I checked 7260 khz at 0655z and I'm guessing I am late to the party because only a carrier present listening from KFS SW. And now at 0723z signal S9+10/18db, the loudest I've ever heard them. Too bad there is no programming to be had. They are not on anywhere else`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 5050, 4820, 4810, March 17 at 0632, JBA carriers, as STANAG noise is unusually absent from 4810+. 4810 would be R. Logos, Per? of course, but the others? Above WWV, nothing else except 5010 WRMI deadair and 5025 Rebelde. Nothing but Tibet/China listed on 4820/5050 but surely not from midday there. 4820 not a likely MW harmonic; 5050 possibly WRMI exciter? Certainly not defunct WWRB as still listed in Aoki! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 6000 USB, March 17 at 0631, JBA 2-way in unknown language; in the absence of RHC, of course (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1651 UT March 18, delayed Originally at 0058 UT March 18 to WOR iogroup only ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Sat, 18 Mar 2023 21:01:47 -0300 From: Claudio Galaz <cgal...@yahoo.cl> To: condigl...@groups.io, WOR DXLD <w...@groups.io>, hard-core-dx <hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com> Subject: [HCDX] Logs Mar 17 & 18, 2023.

Maybe the only/best time for such ID? Meanwhile I was also checking 5900 and heard nothing but TOMBS via Bulgaria. 9500 still on with HQ at 0615. So it appears last night`s HQ on 5900 was a mistake, digits reversed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Mar 18 at 2226, LRA36 is on talking about Ant?rtida, 2245 music, 2248 RAE multi-lingual IDs, then LRA36, RNASG ID as ``15476``; 2250 seems live ID, then attributes LRA36 to province of Tierra del Fuego; contact info, ``Uniendo Voces``, acknowledging listeners. S7/S9 into Uruguay SDR. At 2335 I have a trace direct, S5 = noise level. At least two guys keep chatting, also mention Radio Club Quilmes -- that`s at the national university in greater BsAs, somehow involved in these produxions. Manuel M?ndez, Spain says it started at *2059; will this be for another six hours? Still going past 2400+. But back on original frequency instead of recent 15474.98, presumably different transmitters (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11670, March 18 at 0656, RHC in English, S9+10 direct, undermodulated, and nowhere else on 5, 6, 10, 11 MHz bands. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, March 18 at 0326, Station YHWH is on with signature anti-Christ intonations of Josiah, S9/+5 into Utah SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 4015 USB, March 18 at 0327, S5 music into Utah SDR, no doubt Russian ethnic pirate Vostochnaya Zvezda. After multiple TDOA runs, Lucas Bandura is convinced this is in southern Arizona near Mexico. HF Underground does not want any pirate DF/TDOA info to be posted there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, March 18 at 2300, VOT English manages to be on air today, VG S9+30/40 into UTwente. News starts with Turkey approving Finland for NATO membership following visit by Finnish president; still not satisfied with Sweden. 2313 now with JBA CCCCCCI understation, feature on Traveling I have not encountered before, about visiting historic city of Artvin, near Georgian border at east end of Black Sea coast. Over already at 2318, to be continued next week, `The Captain`s Log`. 2319, `Whipping Piles` - Gripping Files? about a national treasure in literature whose name I can`t copy tnx to the heavily-accentedess. Maybe it`s Yas[h]ar Kemal, after some searching, who was Kurdish originally. `Turkey`s Geo-marked Products` ends at 2337. Music; 2350 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2353 s/off for the 1330, 1930 and 0430 airings only, as if this one did not exist. 2355 IS. 2356 restart IS with German IDs twice per minute.
