** BRAZIL. 11925.1, March 6 at 0630, R. Bandeirantes, S?o Paulo, typically
off-frequency, poor with deep fades, sounds like Carnaval coverage. Meanwhile,
nothing from 11815 R. Brasil Central, which a few nights ago was in well while
Bands was not.
Meanwhile2, super-signal on 11780 from RNA, definitely in Carnaval parade
coverage, continuous music in background. It could be live, even tho it`s the
middle of the night, 3:30 am = 0630 UT Sunday March 6, the one day of week when
11780 runs all-night, anyway.
This year`s Carnaval in Rio lasts from March 4 to 8, so we are right in the
middle of it; next year, due to the luney vagaries of Easter timing, it will be
quite earlier, Feb 17-21. Are there minor carnavais in SP and other Braz cities
too? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 5045-, March 6 at 0623 music, poor signal but free of ACI from Cuba,
now usually off after 0600, presumed R. Cultura do Par?. Frequency was slightly
on low side compared to KBS via Sackville 6045 --- but the latter may not be
right on 6045.00 itself (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5040, RHC missing again at 0620 check March 6, while two nights
earlier it was on for most of this hour instead of 0600*.
17750, big open carrier March 6 at 1405, no doubt the Cuban transmitter
standing by for `Al?, Presidente` only on Sunday mornings. The other A,P
frequencies were not on: 13750, 15370, 13680. Normal RHC programming on 13780.
Recheck at 1510, 17750 was off, and still no 13750, while at 1513 RHC on 15360,
13780, 11730 --- and 11760, which is supposed to be in Esperanto during this
one semi-hour per week (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, R. Africa has not been heard here for some weeks;
and the last log I can find of it was on Feb 7. Has anyone else heard it since
then? We can`t wait to discover whether convicted sex-offending evangelist Tony
Alamo is still being carried (Glenn Hauser, OK, March 6, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4052.5-, R. Verdad with better signal than usual; wonder if power
has been bumped up, but still no QSY to 4055, March 6 on the air late at 0616
Hammond organ, very brief sign-off announcements in Spanish and English, 0617.5
NA starts which we know will run another 5 minutes or so. Some T-storm noise
now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 21540, MOI way over co-channel Spain, no more than a SAH while R.
Kuwait is Qur`aning, March 6 at 1445-1455; finally a woman is allowed to speak
briefly at 1455, and 1500 into presumed news in Arabic, but had gone off before
next check at 1509 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. VOAf from the GJ, still on only one frequency, 21695 missing, and
very poor on remaining 17725, March 6 at 1405 with usual now totally wrong
frequency announcement in English as 21695 & 17850. The usual other 13m signals
were propagating from 21505 to 21655. Still 17725 only, at 1510. Perhaps the
second Sabrata transmitter is the one now on 7500, reported a bit earlier by
G?nter Lorenz in Germany // MW 972 using remote receivers in Sicily, Greece and
northern Italy (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. KXOK-31, Enid`s only TV station, lost video and audio during
original RTV `Battlestar Glactica` after 0200 UT Sunday March 6 --- black
screen when viewing DTV off the air, and also nothing via Suddenlink cable.
Finally came back on around 0235, and ID slide now mentions not only channel 18
in Ponca City but K35JY Lamont so that translator is now on the air --- it`s
roughly halfway between here and Ponca, filling in a LP coverage gap. So I
aimed at it and did get a `bad` DTV signal on 35, while more powerful OETA 38
Ponca was not decoding either, during dead conditions (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3195, new frequency of WWCR-1, ex-7465, March 5 at 2313 with `Golden
Age of Radio Theatre`. It`s really too early before sunset to be on 90+ meters,
but maybe OK to the east. 3195 is too weak to audiblize presumed accompanying
parasitic spurs which should be on 3179.4 and 3210.6, both only 5.6 kHz from
the two WWRB frequencies:
WWRB [q.v.] is also on two 90m channels by 2314, 3185 Brother Scare which is
stronger than 3195, and 3215 promo loop, which is weaker than 3195 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3215, WWRB, March 6 at 2314 is running continuous loop of about a
minute with Dave Frantz looking for customers at $65 per hour, $33 per
half-hour, plus live streaming, see http://www.wwrb.org website. Same on //
5050 which was better. Can`t blame him for filling unsold airtime this way;
after all, billboards and newspapers do it, but we`d still rather hear big band
music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1554 monitoring: 9955, WRMI, March 6 at 1655 check,
inaudible, trace of carrier without jamming, but confirmed on webcast; next
airing: 1830.
C-JOY on internet only has moved WOR to 1900 UT Sundays:
http://loudcity.com/stations/cjoy-internet-radio/files/show/lccjoyinternetradiopage.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1440, trying for the WFNY, Gloversville NY DX test at 06-07 UT
March 6, mostly dominating the jumble was an ESPN station, perhaps WGEM Quincy
IL. At 0642 UT, I heard a few beeps of Morse code, probably this, but not
enough to copy. Numerous others closer confirm the test did run as scheduled
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

GERMANY 9480 MVB Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Baltic Radio.
MV Baltic Radio testing on 9480 kHz. MV Baltic Radio <www.rrms.de> today
announced tests from their own transmitter. Currently they transmit on each
first Sunday of the month via Wertachtal on 6140 kHz from 1000-1100 UTC.
Today they said they have a licence from the German frequency authority for
using 9480 kHz from 0800 till 1600 UTC. During the coming weekends they will
start testing using low power.
(Harald Kuhl-D, DXplorer Mar 6)
According German Frequency Authority BNetzA 9480 kHz 0800-1600 UT at 230degr
to Central- and Southwestern Europe via 700type dipol antenna to zones
18,19,27,28,29,37N, from {strange placeholder} BRE Bremen entry {not Goehren
on Settin Lake} 1 kW on Half Wave Dipol, antenna type 700.
<http://www.itu.int/ITU-R/terrestrial/broadcast/hf/refdata/reftables/site.txt>
former ITU entry til 1999: BRE Bremen (ex Radio Bremen/SFB Berlin site, tx
now at Madagascar site).
Former 53 05N 08 50E
now changed to Radio Bremen Oberneuland site MW 936 kHz from Feb 1, 1999, at
53 06 31.80 N 08 56 09.38 E
New ITU registration on 01-MAR-2011 Global HF Transmitter Site Table.
01-MAR-2011: add: GOH Goehren, D, 53 32N 11 36 E, registered
MVB Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Baltic Radio - from Goehren on Settin Lake.
#700 curtain antenna, arrays of horizontal half-wave dipoles, centre fed,
without reflector.
Designation: CH m/n/h. CH 1/1/0.3, 1 kW at 230 degrees
m number of half-wave dipoles in each horizontal row
n number of \\ rows spaced half a wavelength apart
h height above the ground in wavelengths
Possible slew and the design frequency are entered in separate requirement
fields.
Wonder whether the Bremen registration entry is reality, or only early
replacement of the new ITU entry at "Goehren on Settin Lake", as of ITU
Geneve list on March 1st.
Strange main lobe antenna azimuth at 230 degrees from Bremen Oberneuland via
Kleve, Brussels, Paris, and towards Lisbon Portugal.
Or instead from Goehren on Settin lake via lobe at Bielefeld, Cologne,
Paris, Bordeaux, and towards Algarve Portugal.

This one should have been headed BRAZIL [and non], rather than CANADA:
