Strangely enough I was tuned to 219-USB. Amid storm noise crashes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. Glad to see that following my complaint, EiBi does now list China via Cuba on 11980 as harm[onic] at 23-01. But searching entire file, no others yet from this or any other country. See also VIETNAM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5040, March 4 at 0536, RHC is off already rather than running until 07 or sometimes even later; but 5025 Rebelde is on. Others: 6060 now in Spanish instead of English; 6145, 6100 and 6000 in English for now. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13740, March 4 at 1518, RHC is again S9+10 of dead air, or JBM, while 13700 is S9+20 of good modulation and fails to produce any spurs. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1520, March 4 at 0341 UT, KOKC is off, tnx to tip from Paul Walker; thought this might clear for longtime cheater KOLM in MN, but no sign of it now, rather a heavy jumble of much weaker signals. Paul said it would be only briefly for some tower maintenance. By 0343 I am hearing a weak talkshow with YL host, roughly NW/SE and gradually fading in stronger. This is apparently KOKC on again already, in `The Dana Show` as scheduled. Maybe they were axually turning the power level up. Paul also said it came back but went off again, after I quit (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PERU. 5980, March 3 at 2350, JBA carrier from Radio Chaski under Cuban jamming against nothing else, until autocutoff at 2352:11.5*, which is 16 seconds earlier than last check Feb 24 until 2352:27.5* which was 8 days ago, or averaging exactly 2.0 seconds per noctem, which as I previously calculated was the long-term average as well. If their timer is not reset (originally for 2400*?), by March 29, 26 days from now, will be 52 seconds earlier, or 2351:19.5*. But that will probably be the end of our current tracking, as in A-20, Radio Mart? is expected to resume 5980 all the way from 22 to 03 UT, and with heavier jamming to be sure (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. Anomalies continue with RRI, lacking the Romanian service at 01-03 UT on any frequency, instead, UT March 4: At 0150: 5910 and 7410 off; 6130 & 7325 in English At 0203: 5910 and 7325 off, 6130 & 7410 in French Strange they swapped 7325 & 7410 between English and French, almost making me doubt my logging as accurate; what next? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Tue March 3 at 2308, REE is on, VG with music but Spanish announcements since it`s not M/W/F, the only days for English. OTOH, off the air today English from TURKEY, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, March 3 at 2307, another day OFF for VOT English which would have been to us. But SPAIN, q.v. is on today altho not in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4102+CW, March 4 at 0716 UT, ``W`` windy beacon JBA, first time in a long time after frequent chex at night. Also some dits and other letters/numbers, something to do with battery power or other characteristix of the installation. Definitely on plus side tho too weak to measure accurately, altho there was recently a report of it on the minus side of 4102. Somewhere in the USA SW desert. Steve McGreevy located and photographed this 19 years ago and says the FCC tolerates it, yet the precise location is not being revealed: http://www.auroralchorus.com/4095-5-kHz_DF_and_visit_to_the_WIND-BEACON_Spring-2001-SPMandEDH.jpg Enlarge them and see an itty bitty anemometer atop a rock outcrop, a small solar panel, and a dipole antenna. There is a huge amount of other great info on his website. 2097.3-CW, Mar 4 at 0720 UT, no signal from ``A` single-letter beacon while `W` etc. is audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 13555-CW, March 4 at 1516, HIFER beacon WV in West Virginia is JBA, while K6FRC on 13565-CW from California is noticeably stronger; but neither ever heard later in the day or at night. And what about all the other beacons LWCA lists on the 13550-13570 ISM band? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2023 monitoring: confirmed Wed Mar 4 at 2100 on WRMI 7780, only poor via UTwente, with some lite SSB? ACI. Following two Zanotti IDs at 2058 and 2059. Next: 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 [and non?]. 9330, March 4 at 1903, WBCQ WLCR in Arabic on 81 degree beam, only S5-S7 if really 500 kW, but also with a low audible heterodyne as if from a second station on a slightly different frequency. Nothing else is ever scheduled here except Cuban spynumbers 4 nights a week at 0700, certainly not now. Maybe a WBCQ defect, or old transmitter also on? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WTWW still not on at 0205 UT Wed Mar 4, when the ham show would normally be on 5085. {and still off at 0317} (The competing ham show on WBCQ 5130 is running.) Power outage and/or tornado damage? Anyone know or can inquire? Wikipedia reports: ``In Lebanon, many homes and businesses suffered considerable damage, including Walmart and Lowe's. The Wilson County Fairgrounds was impacted as the tornado moved east out of town and continued along the interstate to Smith County, producing EF1-type damage in the Tuckers Crossroads, Grant, and New Middleton communities.`` Then I write to Doug Smith of W9WI.com: ``Hi Doug, Sure hope you and yours are OK! And eventually you can fill us in on the impact to broadcast stations? (SW: WTWW Lebanon has not been heard. It should be on 5085 at least, tonight). 73, Glenn`` Doug replies: ``Thanks! - Yep, I'm fine, except for sleep deprivation :) I'm located in the western part of the city -- the tornado formed roughly eight miles to the northeast. It ripped up an airport about two miles north of my workplace -- but didn't even break sticks off the trees at work. I believe WHTN TV 39 is off but best I can tell everything else is on. It did come awfully close to the AM 900/1490 tower in Lebanon but I'm told the stations are still on. Haven't had an opportunity to scan myself. I suspect there are still massive power outages in Lebanon/Wilson County. The folks behind WTWW are pretty active on social media -- and conspicuously absent today. I suspect it's just a lack of power`` Further chex of WTWW frequencies find no signals: 0514, 1904 UT March 4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VIETNAM. After finding 11980 labeled harmonic in EiBi for China via CUBA, q.v. I also search on ``spur`` and get 9 entries, all from Vietnam, no Cubans or anywhere else: 6006.6, 6033.4, 7155, 7196.2, 7223.8 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2117 UT March 4 ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Wed, 04 Mar 2020 06:25:15 +0000 From: Manuel M?ndez <manuelmend...@gmail.com> To: "DX WRO groups" <w...@groups.io> Subject: [HCDX] SuperClan Radio eQSL Message-ID: <em8742913c-8aaa-45da-b75e-265054f6829e@manuel1> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset=utf-8 Manuel M?ndez Lugo, Spain GERMANY, 6070, SuperClan Radio, Rohrbach, eQSL card received in five days for a reception report sent to: superclanra...@yahoo.com ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2020 21:49:53 +0000 (UTC) From: Jota Xavier <odlano...@yahoo.com.br> To: WOR <w...@groups.io>, "hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com" <hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com>, Grupo Radioescutas <radioescu...@yahoogrupos.com.br> Subject: [HCDX] JRX Logs_ March 4, 2020 Message-ID: <1131347687.4528325.1583358593...@mail.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 JRX Logs_ March 4, 2020Receiver (s)_ XHDATA D-808Antenna (s)_ Mini Loop to SW CHINA** 5915.

Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11850, March 4 at 2215, RHC Spanish is S9+10 but suptorted; not English like on 11880. As always accompanied by much weaker parasitic carrier on 11840, and probably one to match on 11860 vs OCB/jamming. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. After last night`s anomalies from RRI in the 01-03 period, I check again March 5 at 0058: 6130 & 7325 with RRI IS, 0100 opening English with detailed satellite info and other platforms but NO mention of SW frequencies! Meanwhile, 7410 and 5910 are off. At 0200 I check all four via UTwente SDR: French is starting on 7410 and 6130; 5910 and 7325 are off. So the same as before; Romanian missing, and swap 7 MHz frequencies by 0200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Mar 4 at 2328, caught tail of REE English back on the air today as Alison is axually speaking news about Snowden, Boris (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, March 4 at 2329, VOT is on at S9+10 but JBM, no good English.

The WTWW-1 webcast is running too, `Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting` with a caller from Wisconsin at 0255; but not WTWW-2 stream (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 5915, March 5 at 0057-0101+, carrier with heavy splash from 5920 WHRI. By 0125 same talk is JBA. Checking because JRX in Brasil reported ZAMBIA here around 0100 last night in vernacular. ZNBC has run 24 hours before and might again, perhaps due to electric ``load shedding`` meaning no power during day or prime time but available when demand is much lower overnight. However, one other station is listed active before and after these hours, MYANMAR, where it`s just after sunrise. I try the two KiwiSDRs in RSA and one of them is getting it no better than I am, nor does UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0313 UT March 5 End of Hard-Core-DX Digest, Vol 207, Issue 5 ********************************************
