** ANGUILLA. 6090, Tue March 3 at 0055, S9+10/20 of dead air from
TCB/DGS/PMS/TUN, while 5935 WWCR is modulating music break. Totally
overriding Iran, warming up for the *0100 broadcast UT Tue/Wed/Fri per
EiBi. There is a schedule for this and 11775, however convoluted
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15370.0, March 2 at 2248, RHC is finally back on frequency!
S9 with OK modulation. Failing to transmit on 15369.23 where I think
it was still March 1 tho did not make it into logbook. That would have
been day 19. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 13650, March 2 at 2304, CRI relay with Chinese
music fill instead of Portuguese, S9+20 but suptorted; had been absent
when last checked Feb 29. Today the // 6100 direct from Beijing is JBA
carrier. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CUBA. 6060, March 3 at 0726 UT, this time RHC English is still on
here, much stronger than // 6145, which is much weaker than // 5040;
while 6000 & 6100 are off. You never know which combo of The Cuban
Five will be on air this final hour. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 13560, March 2 circa 2200 UT, I am checking various spots
in Enid with insensitive portable, whether the constant noise I get at
home is any stronger elsewhere: Yes, outside Walmart; yes, around
Aldi, but very different sound outside the store vs inside. Also
audible downtown at the PO. I suspect this stuff is pervasive anywhere
there are security systems and/or checkout scanning devices; really
impossible to pinpoint without being right next to sources and turning
them off and on. Hey, retailers, may I? I don`t see reports of such
from elsewhere. Does everybody hear this stuff and just put up with
it? Also suspect hospitals, doctors with ISM medical equipment (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** PHILIPPINES. 9450, March 2 at 2256, ``Jesus [allegedly] Saves``
music box IS; by 2301 into language, listed as Iu via FEBC Bocaue
site. Fair but with 9455 WRMI ACI.
9795, March 2 at 2258, same IS here but keeps going until 2302 finally
opening a different language, listed as Mon via Iba site. I thought it
sounded like Lao, probably related (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ROMANIA. 5910 & 7340, March 3 at 0215, RRI in French instead of
scheduled Romanian, and also on the proper French frequencies 6130 &
7410. Checked because JRX Brasil had reported the previous hour
0105-0125 had 5910 in English instead of Romanian. Maybe they have
their feed routing mixed up. Romanian is supposed to be for two hours
at 01-03 on 5910 & 7340 both Tsiganeshti, with English & French one
hour each on the other two via Galbeni. Check again whether this
recur? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 9690, March 2 at 2303, REE English to North America this
Monday is off the air; 11940 JBA maybe same station; 12030 JBA
carrier. This and Turkey, q.v. are the only significant overseas
stations still broadcasting English to us at this hour, but one or
both may be missing on any occasion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960, March 2 at 2303, VOT is on today for English to us,
but poor S6-S8 and undermodulated, unusable. See SPAIN, our only
alternative, off the air today; they take turns? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A [non]. 7290 via UTwente, concluding the WORLD OF RADIO 2023
monitoring report for Monday March 2: Almost made it to conclusion at
1929, cutting off only the last syllables of ``disclaimer``, ID this
time giving an IRRS phone number, into Feature Story News in more
detail than the headlines earlier.
Also confirmed UT Tue March 3 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, JBA S7-8 about
equal to noise level here. Not much better at UTwente where it usually
is; but much better at Rockport ME KiwiSDR. Next:
0900 UT Wednesday Unique Radio NSW 5045-USB
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE
Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15825, 13845, March 3 circa 2000, WWCR usual JBA carriers,
and more on 12160; after 2100 usual bigsigs on 9980 and 9350; ops
normal, not hit by tornado in downtown Nashville, as site is on the NW
outskirts.
In the ABDX.org group, David Slate in Hendersonville TN said, ``Hey
Gang, Last night there was a tornado that went though Nashville. We in
Hendersonville were lucky, just rain and wind at my QTH. The east
Nashville and Germantown {Memphis suburb} areas got hit and so did Mt
Juliet and Lebanon. It came close to WTVF TV ch 5 {Nashville}. In the
Cookeville market they also got hit hard. Just wanted to let you all
know I'm OK``
Good, and we surely hope all our other DX friends and broadcasters in
TN are too. Lebanon? That`s the site of WTWW. You never know whether
they will be on air with day or night frequencies, but the three
active lately, 9475, 5830 and 5085 are all absent March 3 at 1858,
2056 and 2248 UT chex. If any remain, #1 priority will be 5085
evenings with Ted`s rock and ham stuff. I also checked the WTWW
webcasts; while the website wtww.us still loads, nothing played, but I
don`t know if this be unusual in the daytime anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A [and non]. I don`t normally watch the Dr Oz show, but ran
across it today March 3 when the topic is the Tony Alamo cult, and the
horrible things that monster did to his followers. You may be able to
find it today via a local syndicated affiliate; or see website:
https://www.doctoroz.com/episode/true-crime-child-bride-christian-sex-cult-speaks-out?video_id=6137735476001
https://www.doctoroz.com/episode/true-crime-child-bride-christian-sex-cult-speaks-out
``Dr. Oz Logo Now Playing
Sneak Peek: Behind Closed Doors of Tony Alamo?s Christian Sex Cult
True Crime: Child Bride From Christian Sex Cult Speaks Out
Autoplay: Originally aired on 3/03/2020
Dr. Oz investigates Christian cult leader and convicted child sex
abuser Tony Alamo, who controlled his devoted followers by fear and
punishment and took child brides as young as 8 years old.
Investigative reporter Mara Schiavocampo shares the story.``
This is on the first half hour of the TV show only. At its end Oz sez
they got no response from Alamo Ministries --- so we know that exist.
Unfortunately this is still relevant because dead Alamo has shown up
again on shortwave, thanks to MBR. Maybe someone should clue them in
about him:

And Ron Howard replies to this on the WOR iog:
``Hi Glenn, Is hard to believe he can still be heard on SW today. Am
amazed that there is still an active Website
http://www.alamoministries.com/audiomessages/index.html
with his recorded audio files available.
Years ago you and I often heard his programs via Equatorial Guinea.
The programs were provided back then by Pan American Broadcasting
(PAB), via their Radio Africa Network, which was broadcasting via
shortwave. PAB is still located in Pleasanton, CA.
https://www.radiopanam.com/
{and broadcasts via WRMI on 21525 --- gh}
Here is one of my logs from 2013:
EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, Radio Africa at 1603, on Nov 14, 2013, with
the start of Tony Alamo's program #493 (per his website - originally
recorded back on Nov 28, 2007); almost fair with good audio;
transmitter holding up well after having been recently fixed.
http://alamoministries.com/Programs4/program493.mp3
Ron California`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1460, March 3 at 1410 UT, YL anchor with world news in
AmerEnglish --- more than some network news-on-the-hour, and no
commercials, dominant at first. Like public radio, but certainly not
NPR Morning Edition. The only fit around here is KHOJ, St Charles MO,
which is Catholic, and there was one item about the Pope testing
negative for CoronaVirus but cancelling his public events, and at 1417
mention website mycatholic-something.com
Finally got KHOJ program schedule to load
https://ourcatholicradio.org/sites/default/files/station-schedules/WRYT-KHOJ%28Group-1-WEB%29_38.pdf
which shows Tuesdays at 8-9 am CT, `Catholic Connection` (Live), which
seems like a call-in rather than a newscast.
1460, March 3 at 1415 UT, overcoming KHOJ briefly, ``Welcome to the
Voice of America, in Vietnamese!`` And VOA jingle. The VV station
around here is KCLE Burleson TX, address in Cleburne (The Metroplex),
now on 11 kW day power. At first I thought it said Japanese, surely
not, and Vietnamese talk soon followed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5050, March 3 at 0729, no mystery open carrier now,
which had been running the past several nights with no clues but lots
of guesses (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
This report dispatched at 2300 UT March 3
