Wow! Someone told me that they shut down the VOA. Wow! what a kick in the
zoo-bah to the millions of people who wanted to hear it but couldn't afford a
shortwave radio. I'm sure that was the problem. I'm equally sure some
non-profit will buy the franchise and make it bigger and better by buying those
people of the world, who really wanted to listen to it, a short wave radio.
Then, the feds will see the error of their ways, and give the non-profits
grants of money to aid in this their charitable endeavor. After all, anything
is possible if you live in a swamp.

** CANADA. 2749 USB, March 31 at 0635, YL marine weather JBA in noise
level, nothing on 2598. Extensive sked at
https://www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/publications/mcts-sctm/ramn-arnm/part2-eng.html
shows nothing on 2749 at this hour, i.e. between starts at 0437 by VCF
Les Escoumins, and 0740 UT by VCO Port Caledonia. Similar in EiBi. So
now I`m wondering if the whole sked be really an hour earlier after
the imposition of DST, or is this an urgent special unscheduled (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 11880, Mar 31 at 0113 check into Maryland SDR,
KBSWR in Spanish is still on second day of A25 despite missing from
own schedule, Woofferton relay presenting K-pop, VG S9+5/15 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND. 13690, March 31 at 0620, sports on BBCWS, S8/S9;
obviously relay of RNZN via RNZP (Glenn Hauser OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. Sunday March 30, first day of A25, checking REE new
frequencies at 2214 in Spanish, which would be amid English on M/W/F:
into Maryland SDR, 15500 S9+10/20 for us; 15520 S8/9+5 almost as good
off the back for ME; 17715 S7/S9 for S America; but no signal on 15390
for Africa - I casually checked a couple hours earlier, and I think
15390 was on then. Look forward to 15520 as backup for inevitable
failures of 15500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 9874.967, Sun Mar 30 at 2048 tune-in via UTwente,
all I hear are the last few notes of the North Korean national anthem.
This is about when `Letterbox` from Voice of Turkey should be
appearing on its new A25 frequency 9875 and time ex-an hour later on
9610. It`s KCBS as in B24 Aoki until 2050*, never, of course in HFCC.
VOT off to a great start. O, Wolfgang Bueschel says VOT was axually on
9870 :Somethings always erroneous at Emirler: but in this case a good
idea to avoid DPRK.
11785, Sun Mar 30 at 2200 tune-in, new A25 frequency and time for VOT
English to N America. Quite a strong signal with VOT news sounder,
then gone! Drops off the air, and never comes back during following
hour. Off to another even ``greater`` start. Next chance: 0315~ UT
Monday on 7275 thisaway and 6165 thataway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 7275, UT Mon Mar 31 at 0302 tune-in, VOT new A25 time and
frequency for W N America, dead air at S9+35 into UTwente and off* in
a few seconds, never to return during hour. This keeps happening, why?
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler.
Then retune to 6165.002 which goes thataway, S9+10/25 and noisy, much
inferior, also with RTTY warble on minus side, so USB tuning
absolutely required. After olds, 0314 retune, brief transmission
break, and TRTVOTVorld.com promo; 0315 `The Pulse of Turkish Foreign
Policy`, yawn. 0323 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, music. 0329
`Letterbox` theme, opening. Same YL host, frequencies changed, ask for
details by email. It`s also Eid, first day of end of Ramadan. 1)
Angus? -?, Canada. 2) Christer Brunstr?m, Sweden, who is surprised
there was no mention of the arrest of mayor of Istanbul, and
demonstrations. She claims they *did* report it on Wednesday in
English and all other broadcasts, and some excuse about this being an
external service? 3) Siddartha ---, 24/3 anniversary of something,
maybe polio vaccine? Incidence of something in Turkey. 0336 song
break. 4) at 0340, Mohammed -- from Malaysia. 5) Jayanta Chakraborty,
India {even he is uncertain of spelling: in dxindia posts also as
Chakrabarty}. 6) and last, -- Kelly, USA. Most or all of them request
QSLs. 0344 song. 0348 `L`Box` theme outro, music. 0352 s/off - missed
what time and frequency they misannounced, likely 1230 on 17620. 0353
IS to 0356* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U K O G B A N I [non]. 9915, March 31 at 0616, English S5/S7, BBC?
Yes, //9410 about the same. 9915 is a longtime BBCWS channel but had
not been hearing it in B24 season. Now in A25 it`s scheduled *only*
for this one hour, via ASCENSION, 125 kW at 65 degrees. 9410 is also
ASC at 05-07, 27 degrees. 125 kW powers must be semi-transmitters
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also NEW ZEALAND
** U S A. 8992 USB, March 31 at 1543, long alfanumeric fonetik crypto
message military exercise, ending with ``This is Vulnerable, out``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. CBS TV 60 MINUTES, March 30 about 2355 UT as the second of
three stories after a late start, is about VOA, interviewing Steve
Herman, and Patsy W-, the Indonesian lady. And later the only
Republican congressperson, of Korean heritage, who objects to Trump`s
assassination of VOA. Briefly Dan Robinson`s name can be seen on a
screen shot of the WH website crediting him with denouncing it as
``radical``. Should be available online from CBS or YT later if you
missed it. I alerted the WOR iog about this in advance. Yes, here it
is already, two hours later, 13-minute audiovideo and transcript:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/voice-of-america-journalists-speak-out-trump-shutdown-60-minutes-transcript/
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2288 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
March 30 at 2130 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002+, S9+5/10 into
UTwente.
Also confirmed Sunday March 30 at 2330 on WRMI 7780, S7/9+5 into
Maryland SDR, but instead of usual // on 7570, something else there,
seems like TOMBS. 7780 at 2342 also into S TX SDR, S9+15/30 with storm
crashes. At 2344 I am also getting WOR on 7570 into S Texas, S9+10/20,
but further chex of other remotes find WOR NOT on 7570. Maybe I am
confused by switching among too many Kiwis at once? Or WRMI is
switching back and forth, unlikely. Anyhow, WRMI skedgrid shows 7570
supposed to be on System G at this hour, but System G thinx it`s only
on 9395. WOR still shows at 2330 Sunday on System D, WRMI-13 7780.
What a confusing situation.
Also confirmed UT Monday March 31 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9+35 into S
Texas SDR.
Also confirmed UT Monday March 31 from 0300 sharp on Area 51 webcast,
whilst 5130- WBCQ into NH remote had already switched to music after
JL gotta-go.
1930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;
0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW;
1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast];

P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7780 & 5010, March 31 at 0627, NO signals from these WRMIs,
very unusual; while still nominal on 7730.
9395 // 9955, March 31 at 0631-0633+, canned WRMI IDs looping over and
over, and slightly overlapping each other, rather than regular
programming; which did continue? on only other frequencies on air now,
5850 TOMBS & 7730. Something`s odd at Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7636.0, March 31 at 0625, S9 open carrier except for JBA
clix at rate of approx. 25 per minute. Too much noise on band to
detect how far out the clickery expand this time. Previously logged
March 4 and 8 at different clickrates, and several others ending in
-6. What is this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 21725, March 31 at 1536, JBA carrier is the OSOB.
Nothing listed anywhen in A25 HFCC or EiBi, B24 Aoki. Believe this be
real rather than birdie as it`s right-on frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** BELIZE. 28258 CW, March 31 at 2210, VVV DE V31HQ/B and EEEEEEEEEE -
WGB list: ``28258.0 V31HQ/B - Belmopan BLZ EK57nf - #0/1 (22 Mar 2025)

was injured, however Andre V31DL (owner of the shack) has lost ALL
equipment. If you would like to help the rebuilding of V31HQ please

** BRAZIL. 6180-, April 1 at 0147, too weak and off-frequency, so to
11780 for much-publicized new English & Spanish segments from RNA.
S8+5/25 direct with deep fading. It`s already in Spanish, apparently a
saludos call from someone about the Spanish about to start. Brazuguese
DJ replies and says good-night. 0148 YL ID in English, interview with
someone in Par? in November, about the culture of Par? and Amazonia.
Voice-over translation, with PP QRM in the background! Please, SW
reception is hard enough without self-QRM. We`ll trust you to be
translating accurately! Besides, even a native could not follow the
underspeech, just loud enough to be annoying. 0153 ID as Radio
Nacional Brasil International Service, Portuguese ID, Spanish,
apparently same topic, voice-over this time in Spanish with Brazilian
accent. 0157 pause for a few words of unobstructed Brazuguese, and
wrapup. 0157 Portuguese ID as RNB Servi?o Internacional, and RNA on
6180, 11780, website, 980. 0158 R Nacional jingle and other music
until 0200 some other PP program. Well, we`re glad they are making the
effort to speak a bit of our language, but hope it improves (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GUADELOUPE. 28520 USB, March 31 at 2216, FG5GP, says 100 watts,
working an AA7 mobile. QRZ.com: ``FG5GP Guadeloupe flag Guadeloupe,
ALAIN ROBERT, 14 LOT LES COLIBRIS CONVENANCE, 97122 BAIE MAHAULT,
Guadeloupe`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 28171 CW, March 31 at 2205, beacon XE1FAS/B is JBA with
fades, preceded by 4 dashes. It`s missing from WGB, today`s update at
https://listof10mbeacon.blogspot.com/2023/06/worldwide-list-of-10-meter-beacon.html
How about the older WI5V list? That website is now intercepted as
unsafe. I know I`ve heard this one before, in 2022, 2023 and 2024, as
on Feb 28 last year, q.v.: he`s in Puebla with lots of info still at
https://www.qrz.com/db/XE1FAS
29182+ CW, March 31 at 2207, beacon, dash and VVV XE1RCS/B. This one
also missing from WGB list! But QRZ.com: ``XE1RCS Mexico flag Mexico,
Radio Club Sat?lite A.C., Apartado Postal 341-A, Ciudad Sat?lite,
Naucalpan, Edo Mex 53100, Mexico`` and: ``XE1RCS beacons on 28.182 and
50.019 Mhz. now transmiting from new site, Cerro Gordo about 70 kms.
northeast from Mexico City. This new site, Cerro Gordo is about 3100
mts. above sea level, near Teotihuacan piramids. The site is owned by
Radio Club Satelite. XE1RCS/B on 28.182 Mhz. has an AR-10 antenna with
8 watts, and on 50.019 has an AR-6 with 50 watts. All the antennas are
mounted in a 40 mts. tower with surge protection and battery
backup.``
28276 CW, March 31 at 2214, dash and XE1JAL/B. This one is on the WGB
list: ``28276.0 XE1JAL/B - Xalapa Veracruz MEX EK19mm - #0/1 (26 Mar
2025) Note: ID + grid + 3" carrier`` - and QRZ.com: ``XE1JAL Mexico
flag Mexico, Mario Rizo Campomanes, Calle Francisco Navarrete No. 8 -
B , Colonia Tamborrel, Xalapa - Enriquez, Veracruz, Codigo Postal
91050, Mexico`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15500, March 31 at 2159, NO signal on NF to N America from
SNR for first M/W/F token English broadcast of season. Like I said
yesterday, looking forward to 15520 as backup altho off the back
toward ME, and that one is S7/S9; but 17715 to S America is even
better, S9+20. And 15390 for Africa is also AWOL! Something`s always
notright at Noblejas. Opens with different music and A25 general
frequency schedule with no details of language times, not even
English! 2202 s/on English, preview later content I can`t copy; 2203
news leading with mining accident in Asturias killing at least 5
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, March 31 at 2158, VOT not off the air, S8/S9 but JBA
vs my local noise level, IS and English IDs, so I go over to SPAIN
instead as these two insist on colliding timewise. At 2238, 11785.006
is S9+20/30 into Georgia SDR, so not needing to check it at UTwente.
Uncomfortably close to 11780 Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 28243 CW, March 31 at 2209, VVV DE AA1SU/B and EEEEEE --
Unlike the Mexicans, this one does appear in the WGB list: ``28243.0
AA1SU/B - Essex Junction VT USA FN34?? - #0/1/2 (02 Mar 2025)? Note:
VVV de AA1SU/B + FN34 VT + E ? 6`` And QRZ.com: ``AA1SU/B USA flag
USA, PAUL N GAYET, 11 CHERRY STREET, ESSEX JUNCTION, VT 05452``
28249.5 CW, March 31 at 2210, DE KA3JOE/B and EEEEE. WGB list:
``28249.5 KA3JOE/BCN - Bensalem PA USA FN29mb - #0/2/3 (26 Mar 2025)
Note: de ID only + E ? 5`` QRZ.com: ``KA3JOE USA flag USA, Joseph W
Ciesielski, 1176 Poquessing Avenue, ANDALUSIA, PA 19020 - WELCOME TO
THE KA3JOE BEACON !! Thanks for tuning in! The KA3JOE beacon operates
continuously on a frequency of 28.248.7 Mhz, at a power level of 5
watts.The transmitter is an HTX-10 fed into a half wave vertical at a
height of 10 meters. I would perfer a good, old fashioned, tree
killing, non-electronic QSL, SASE to my QRZ address, but I will also
respond with an email promptly. It's more fun to receive QSL Cards in
the regular mail. I have been interested in radio since I was 12 years
old. Like many, I started out on CB radio but got bored of that scene
quickly. I then discovered cars, girls, work, etc. and got
side-tracked. Finally, getting licensed at the age of 36 I rekindled
my interest in radio and have been playing with it ever since. Thanks
again for tuning in to the KA3JOE 10 METER BEACON @ 28.248.7 MHZ
Please QSL, SASE to my QRZ address. Thank You & 73 Joe``
I`m afraid I had it on the plus side of 28249 like in WGB list, not on
the minus side as in his QRZ.com page (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, April 1 at 0104, and still 0111, this WRMI is dead
air. All others are modulating some somewhat underish: 5010, 5050,
5850, 5950, 7570, 7730, 7780, 9395, 9455, 9955, 15770. Even if only
one human be overhearing them, even remotedly, you`d think there would
be silence-sensors to warn immediately of such a breakdown. WRMI-10 is
supposed to be on System H at 0100-0130 daily with R. Taiw?n
Internacional. 0147 still dead air, Slovakia sked this semihour (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
