** CANADA. 382 MCW kHz, March 21 at 0632 UT, dash and YPL, 500 watt ND
beacon at Pickle Lake ON is JBA. It`s a good night when I can hear any
Canadian besides YXL on 346. See also USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ECUADOR [and non]. 6050, March 21 at 0647, hymn at S8/S9, too
strong for ELWA and too Spanishy. The coreligionists at ELWA and HCJB
long had a nice sharing relationship, HCJB never on much past 0500 and
then only on weekends, and ELWA never on until a few minutes before
0600. HCJB had already been reported running much later, but can`t
find it now; rather this a bit later also March 21 from Wolfgang
B?schel:
``6049.993 EQA Surprised, surprised - cross checked Spanish signal on
TWR Bonaire KIWI_net signal, also at Bras?lia and S?o Paulo KIWIs. It
was 100% extended time schedule ?, Voz_Andes Media Quito from Pico
Pichincha txion site. S=4-5 in Bavaria-GER, at 0710 UT. Schedule
published is 21 to 05 UT and 0920-1400 UT.``
Of course, in target areas, there may not be too much of a problem
with HCJB after sunrise into west Africa, nor ELWA into S America. Per
gaisma.com Monrovia sunrise varies little during the year between 0630
& 0700 UT, currently 0647. At longitude 10.8 west, it really ought to
be in UT-1 zone instead of UT, the meridianal boundary being 7.5 west.
They are on yearound DST and don`t know it, just like Enid (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 359 MCW kHz, March 21 at 0628 UT, ND beacon GGF, 25 watts,
Grant NE;
365 MCW kHz, March 21 at 0639, ND beacon AA, 100 watts at Fargo
Harwood `Kenie` ND, site in MN.
Several other regulars audible, but these are the more unusual ones. I
have better luck above 300 kHz than below, maybe slightly lower noise
level. See also CANADA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2287 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, Friday March 21 at 1300 on WRMI 15770, S8/S9 direct.
>From Ron Norton, IRRS/NEXUS/IBA: ``Dear Glenn, I hope this message
finds you well. We would like to inform you that your program World of

immediately. The new broadcast times are as follows (all times in

** U S A. 660, March 21 at 0651 UT, `Coast to Coast AM`, // 600 WMT
and many others. NRC AM Log shows only C2CAM on 660 is KEYZ, Williston
ND, U4 5000/5000. Also logged Feb 16 at 0805 UT, q.v.
Not precisely logged, but C2CAM on 1150 frequently has a very quick
echo, close to a reverb. Main one is KSAL Salina KS, but what else?
Too many others in NRC AM Log: WNDB FL, WJBO LA, KRMS MO, WIMA OH,
KAGO OR, KQQQ WA, WHBY WI, CKFR BC. Most likely WJBO, 15/5 kW but U4
direxional E/W, or closest, KRMS MO, U1 840/55. It`s easy to DX C2CAM
all over the dial, especially during a caller with distinctive voice,
or music bit; but usually far out of synch with each other (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 1650 kHz, March 21 at 0618 UT, continuous tone
again of about 320 Hz, mainly QRMing S Asian music, which has to be
CINA, Mississagua = Toronto; tone suspect KSVE El Paso TX as before.
Suspect CINA U1 5000/680 be on day power as had not heard it until
recently; KSVE also with weird power levels, U1 8500/850 watts. All
this superior to my closer 1650s, KCNZ IA and KBJD CO, both ND = U1
1000 W at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9141-9200 approx., March 21 at 0641 UT, 59 kHz wideband
multi-tone, multi-carriers beating, peaking circa 9178, S9+20, same
thing as heard later at 15866-15913, q.v.. What is this? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15866-15913 approx., March 21 circa 1430 UT, 47 kHz
wideband multi-tone, multi-carriers beating, peaking circa 15908,
S9+10, same thing as heard earlier at 9141-9200, q.v. What is this?
