A JBA carrier from Bangladesh Betar, a few days before equinox managing to propagate transpolarly. I have frequently sought this all winter. Then I strain to hear any modulation: yes, recognizable BB interval signal once at 1359:27.5, and JBA mis-timesignal I think ending at 1359:48.5 --- so they are *still* off-time, out of whack. And into Urdu. I also frequently check for Sri Lanka`s mis-timesignal opening 11905 circa 0115, but still not making it at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CANADA. 6070, March 17 at 0544, not even a carrier from CFRX, while it is normally always there; must be off. K index only 2 and no storms as of 0600. Whew, March 17 at 1327, very poor signal but recognizably CFRX in English. BTW, in A-17 6070 will be hit by CCI from MWV Madagascar in Spanish at 0200-0300; CFRX gets no protexion from Canadian authorities at HFCC. Vatican, Austria, Germany will also continue on 6070 at other times, as well as not registered North Korea; but not the imaginary Jayapura, Indonesia which continues in HFCC. 6070 also an option for JIC, i.e. Sea Breeze at 13-15 UT but I think they have not used it yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CANADA. 7850, March 17 at 0549, no signal from CHU, but maybe just not propagating, as 7490 WBCQBS is uncharacteristically JBA. 7850-CUSB & 14670-CUSB, March 17 at 1404, both are in well. 3330-CUSB, CHU was still off early March 17. Attention Comoro Islands, please reactivate your 3331 transmitter for a special DX test while this is possible. FM scheduled from *0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** COLOMBIA. 5910+, March 17 at 0546, Alcarav?n Radio is off now when it has been reliable lately (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 5040, March 17 at 0548, RHC is still on, but 5025 Rebelde is off; contrarily, 5025 had been on earlier tonight circa 0200. You never know what`s next with these. 17580, March 17 at 1417, RHC is S9+20 of dead air except for some hum; while 17730 is off and 17750 is a JBA carrier. Suggestion: since 17580 is on, modulate at least it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDIA. 11560, March 17 at 1415, music and ``Salaam Aleikum`` at S3-S5.

What about all the other beacons listed on the 13550-13570 band; are they really ever active?? http://www.lwca.org/sitepage/part15/index.htm Apparently yes, as all seem to have logs for 2016 or 2017.

Therefore it is not my closer one, KHSE in The Metroplex, which is Spanish religion, but the farther one from Houston market, KSEV Tomball, 15/1 kW U4, with such a slogan in NRC AM Log. Day pattern has less of a null toward us than KHSE. Can`t find any FM for it listed, not even mentioned on own website, but clearly a far-right extremist outlet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 740, March 17 at 1258 UT, KTRH Houston with TX ads, I-45 mentions, is making 72/min SAH with KRMG Tulsa = 1.2 Hz; even tho 50 kW, day and night patterns are supposed to have deep nulls toward OK, so I again suspect they are out of whack (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 910, March 17 at 1301 UT, NPR News from Culver City, California, so has to be WSUI Iowa City IA --- a public radio station the Trumpsters would love to do away with (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1020, March 17 at 1303 UT, Mexmx, ``La Estaci?n de la Raza`` by SHVA, i.e. KMMQ Plattsmouth NE (Omaha market), not to be construed as racist?

As I researched previously, seems to be replacement for 7505 scheduled in Hindi at this time. How about own website of TWR India?

Probably VOBME reactivated intruding on the 40m hamband. Checking now since Thorsten Hallmann, Germany was hearing it on 7175 previous Euroevening. How about the other VOBME? 7144.25, March 18 at 0329, JBA carrier, and on the other radio, 7144.26 JBA carrier at 0357. Without the VOBME connexion and hearing it on two radios, might have dismissed it as a birdie. 7120 Somaliland had a much stronger carrier after 0330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MADAGASCAR. 7390, March 18 at 0322, S9+20 signal with rock music looping as if vamping, so did MWV lose programming and default to this? Apparently not, as 0325 La Voz Alegre ID with contact info, slight gringo accent and pronouncing English words too well, except for the ``P O Boquis`` in Florida. Much stronger than something on 7385, presumably attenuated WHRI as the ``skip is long`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6950.0-USB, UT Sat March 18 at 0214, strong pirate here, with dense hard rock music, S9+10, which is much stronger than all three WBCQs, but they are all BSing now anyway. Some segu?s but 0214 ID as WHYP, and anti-drug bit, ``stay away from drugs`` and other phrases over and over, ``Super-bad``, mixing with music, another ID as WHYP-FM. 0241 another WHYP ID inserted. 0244 sounds like George Zeller proclaiming that it`s the ``worst station on shortwave --- so bad it was axually entertaining``. Clip from a speech, edited so he repeats himself a few times, and off*. Many more logs of it here: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,33467.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1869 monitoring: missed checking Friday March 17 at 2230! Supposed to be on 11580, 6855 and 5950, but last few weeks not on 6855. If anyone noticed which were with us and which not, please report. Confirmed Fri Mar 17 at 2330 on WBCQ 9329.9-CUSB, good. Next: Sat 0730 HLR 6190-CUSB to WSW Sat 1530 HLR 7265-CUSB to WSW Sat 1930v WA0RCR 1860-AM ND Sat 2230 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW Sun 0310v WA0RCR 1860-AM ND Sun 1130 HLR 9485-CUSB to SW Sun 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW Mon 0300v WBCQ 5130v Area 51 to WSW Mon 0330 WRMI 9955 to SSE Mon 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW Tue 0030 WRMI 7730 to WNW Tue 1100 WRMI 9955 to SSE, 6855 to WNW Tue 2130 WRMI 15770 to NE, 6855 to WNW Tue 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW Wed 1030 WRMI 5850 to NW, 6855 to WNW Wed 1315.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE, 6855 to WNW Wed 2100 WBCQ 7490v to WSW Wed 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 15770, March 17 at 2056, this WRMI is still AWOL, as it was circa 1400. With 14 transmitters, at least one is likely to be down at any given time, either necessarily or for rotating preventive maintenance. OTOH, current sked has lots of blank time rather than 24/7 on most of them. 9395, UT Sat Mar 18 at 0154, gospel huxter other than Bob Biermann or Brother HyStairical, as seems to be regular during this hour, but nothing on the website to ID it, so I force myself to listen a while, and to compare it to 9955 which is free of jamming now. Sounds like the same guy, but NOT //, not even when I switch back and forth twice a minute in case they are // but out of synch playbacks. At first, 9955 sounds anti-Catholic, while 9395 is anti-government. I listen more to 9395: into soul music, ``Keep Your Eyes on the Prize`` as he talks along with it, phone 856-775-1176 definitely copied, and mentions ``Key of David``; also Yahweh, maybe Messianic black cult? While this music is on, no music on 9955. At 0159.5 both cut to ``WNYW`` style WRMI canned ID, and continue their separate ways from 0200, 9395 with Bob Biermann IDs and Oldies music, 9955 into Spanish Radio Praga. Let`s look up what`s on 9955 until 0200 UT Sat: from 0130 `Evangelical Holiness`. Not explained on the WRMI Programming page. Searching on that plus WRMI leads Google ONLY to 3 versions of my own previous logs of it this year! Top hit on the phone number is tech support at ClassicRedneckRadio.com which is promising, since it`s about radio, but don`t see anything about SWBC. Maybe it`s merely a sponsor on whatever program this is (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7505vv, UT Sat March 18 I am checking for the Chinese hour on WRNO, which Ron Howard reported was really airing at 0200. Not tonight: S9 on the meter, but poor signal and very undermodulated, yet I eventually conclude it has stayed in English at 0206, 0220 and 0250. By 0303 has switched to YL voice and I think she is the Chinese one, still very hard to hear. 0359 very poor at ending, WRNO ID in English. Meanwhile, I have been measuring the constantly varying frequency: at 0220, 7505.5; 0250, 7504.96; 0306, 7504.91; 0330, 7505.07; 0359, 7505.09. There has also been a weaker carrier on the lo side and not varying much, circa 7504.20. Possibly local origin altho I am getting it on two radios. Makes a het with WRNO unless USB tuning (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 0526 UT March 18 End of Hard-Core-DX Digest, Vol 171, Issue 19 *********************************************
