The serious Greek news of the day :
Today marks two years since the train crash that resulted in the deaths of 57
young people, mostly between the ages of 20 and 25. The commemoration is being
organized by the association of parents who lost their children in the tragedy,
with strong support from opposition parties across the political spectrum. Live
television coverage is showing events not only in Thessaloniki and Athens, but
also in various other locations throughout Greece in most capitals of the
counties.
The public, as well as the parents of the victims, demand justice and
punishment for all those indirectly responsible for the deaths of the children.
waiting to see how far justice will reach.
in the files section, you will see also the president? of the parents club in
her public address .

World Music Radio (WMR) is back on 15700 kHz today Friday after one week's
absence. Still running 200 Watts (to the South) on the air daily from
0700-1900 UTC. I think I will change the on air times per March 30 2025 (for
A25) to 0500-2200 UTC. Or perhaps 24/7. Suggestions welcome to [email protected] -
is the 19 mb open at that time? And are there anyone listening 2200-0500 UTC
(or trying to).
World Music Radio still off the air locally in Copenhagen on 927 kHz. But
the good news is, that chances are that WMR might come back on 927 kHz
sometime during March 2025.
WMR on 5930 (150 Watts), and on 25800 kHz (150 Watts). Both running 24/7.
25800 kHz currently propagating very well during daytime. And still being
heard very well locally in Aarhus, Eastern Jutland.
Reception reports are welcome at this address: Hartvig Media, Hovedvejen 17,
DK-8920 Randers NV, Denmark. If you can afford it, kindly enclose return
postage (2 IRCs or 10 euro). If using your own receiver/antenna (and not
using someone else's remote receiver), correct reports will be acknowledged
by a printed 2025 WMR-QSL-card.
Reports via email are replied to with a no-details eQSL - when time permits.
In other words: Please be patient!

No sign of 15700 here in Massachusetts right now, 1440 UTC. 25800 is also nor
being heard and this frequency is normally received nearly every day with a
good signal. Conditions seem pretty depressed today.
Stig, Can you accept US $ for reception reports ? IRC's are no longer
available from the US Postal Service.

** OKLAHOMA. For the record, no changes in the local pirate/Part 15
radio scene in Enid this week, checked Feb 28 around 2045 UT: 95.1
open carrier in $tereo is still on in downtown, formerly music
accompanying the `Tree of Lights` for Xmas.
1670 AM, Feb 28 around 2045 UT, Virtual DJ Radio relay, still audible
weakly around downtown.
101.7 FM mono, additional dead air around downtown Enid only,
presumably an RF feeder feeding nothing in a parked car.
Broadway Tower transmitters are still OFF, 91.1 KKRD, and 105.5 K288FX
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** SWAZILAND [and non]. 15105, Feb 28 at 1617, talk S6/S7 with heavy
Doppler flutter, while another signal on 15125 has not. 15105 is TWR
Esw?tini, while 15125 is CRI via MALI. Propagation quite disturbed, K
index at 1500 was 4.67, geomagnetic storms occurred and expected at G1
level per SWPC. 15105 route is trans-equatorial, 15125 is not; or
15105 could be long-path traversing australis auroralism (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 26110 NBFM, Feb 28 at 1623 UT, conversation about lying, aux
KMK282 of KOVR ``13`` Stockton/Sacramento CA, its most reliable active
hour. On 10m also getting beacons from California to Ontario (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2284 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, Friday February 28 at 1300 on WRMI 15770, S7/S8 direct.
Confirmed Friday February 28 at 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1322.997+, S9 into UTwente.
Also confirmed Friday February 28 at 2130 on WRMI webcast only, but
NOT 9955, still not on air unlike last week, presumably a fluke. O,
9955 cuts on about *2155, JIP WOR. They used to play an IS & ID loop

** U S A. 9455, Feb 28 at 0938 when I happen to awaken, no signal from
WRMI, as expected despite contradictory sked info on own website. 7730
is on with algo JBA. This was Friday, so usage could be different on
weekends, when WOR is supposedly scheduled Saturday at 0930. Could
anyone hear it then on either frequency? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 9960, Feb 28 at 0657, S6/S8 music, R. Vanuatu just in time
before 0658:20* - in a few sex by the time I`ve retuned to 7260 it`s
already on, stronger S9 but including more noise so less readable
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 810.56, Feb 28 at 0703 UT, carrier hetting WHB 810.00
audible again direct. Sure would like to ID this; others please check
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1549.82, Feb 28 at 0704 UT, JBA carrier hetting 1550.00
