Dear SWL, thanks a lot foryour detailed reception report again! We are reallysurprised to learn how many people can listen to us all over Europe and fromSiberia to the East Coast oft he United States. Inspite of the World Wide Webpeople still enjoy listening on shortwave, and like us they are fascinated bythe myth of wave propagation. That explains the name of our station?Mystery21?. We have been onair for many years, but we are newcomers on shortwave. We chose the 60m bandbecause oft the variety of propagation conditions: short distance in Europeduring the day and DX after sunset. Our equipment iscompletely homemade and we are testing with 1,2 KW PEP from 8 relatively cheapmosfets and a simple inverted V dipole antenna installed at 25 meters above thesoil. We use soundprocessing with an optimod pc card and with stereo tool. Our bandwidth is alittle bit higher than with most commercial stations. We apologize fornot having any printed QSL cards at the moment. Considering the high number ofreception reports we are thinking about E-QSL. You will findfurther information and pictures on our facebook site. There you will also findour webstream during the transmissions. If you like, you can join our facebookgroup. ? Mystery21 ? The Spirit of Music ? Stay tuned andenjoy listening on shortwave, especially on the 60m band. We are lookingforward to hearing from you again. After 1.5 day! ? ? Yours, ?

See USA: WRMI ** CUBA. 6060, March 25 at 0611, RHC is S9+30 of dead air in English; 6100 sufficiently modulated at S9+20, better than 6145; while 6000 and 5040 are off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13764, 13636, 13572, 13828 approx., March 25 at 1440, they`re back! After quite a break, the extremely distorted FMish spurblobs out of 13700 RHC transmitter. So bad I can barely tell that the original modulation is musical. These at approx. plus/minus 64 kHz multiples. Meanwhile, 13780 is off already. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15700, March 25 at 1446, CRI Plus relay is undermodulated and crackly; something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15120, March 26 at 0012, CRI Spanish relay is S9+10 but suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,, WOR) ** CUBA. 15730, March 26 at 0014, RHC in French is S9+10 and distorted; 5040, March 26 at 0014, RHC in Kriyol is S9+30, distorted and hummy as usual on this frequency. Kelka shows twojure mowvay a RHC (that`s Pidgin Creole) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 800, March 25 at 0050, amid a TA carrier search including one on 801, gospel huxter in Spanish dominant here at least on the E-W longwire, despite KQCV OKC gospel huxtering in English. Again March 26 at 0042; got to be XEROK Ciudad Ju?rez, Chihuahua as there are no USA SS:REL, at least not in the SW quadrant; SSS enhancement? Right around our LSS. Much of the night XEROK is VP or inaudible, with CKLW if anything besides KQCV to be heard. Originally 150 kW ND, one never knows how much power they really run at any moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TAIWAN [non]. See USA: WRMI ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2026 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday March 25 from 2100:20 on WBCQ 7490.1v, JBA. NOT confirmed, Wed Mar 25 at 2100 on WRMI 7780 tho still shown on sked, instead JBA music, presumed secret airing of TIAMS which started two weeks ago. Wed 2100 is also an imaginary time for WOR on System D with *no* frequencies. No, I do not find me on any other: 9395 RAE Italian, no doubt an ancient airing; 9455 Oldies; 9955 playing ``Wipeout``, 15770 TOMBS. Nothing on 5010, 5800, 5850, 7570, 7730. Confirmed UT Thu Mar 26 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, fair S9. Next WOR 2027 should be audible by early UT Friday March 27, first N/W Hemisphere airing at 2200 on 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5850, March 25 at 0610, WRMI is unusually off; no doubt because of distorted modulation I told them about a few hours ago. By next evening back on OK repaired, 0011 Slovak from RSI, VG S9+10, not distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Another survey of what`s really on WRMIs, UT March 26: 0015: 5800 // < 7570, SMTV 5950 // < 9395, gospel huxter in English about sociopaths 9455, Brother Scare with clip about Trump blowing it 9955, wall-of-noise jamming 0100: 5800, Taiwan Spanish prueba fecha 18 de marzo hace una semana 5010 // < 5850 music, which? 7780, WORLD OF RADIO 2026 9395, RAE ATTW in English with news --- make that olds!!! including Juan Guaid? just recognized at State of the Union as the true president of Venezuela --- that was on UT February 5!! 0130: 5800 // 9395, Spanish ID, World? music 5010 // 5850, different music, which? 7780, Wavescan, from HFCC KL repeat 9955, gospel huxter in English 0200: 5010 & 5800 off 5850, music 7780, Spanish via UTwente; probably Taiwan repeat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5830, March 25 at 0610, S9+20 of dead air with some hum from WTWW-1; much stronger signal than neighbour 5935 WWCR, anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 711.00, March 26 at 0010, carrier hetting 710 KCMO has become audible unlike before 0000. Fades stronger, so at 0032 I can make out a SAHof 192/minute = 3.2 Hz. No modulation detectable. This time I also DF it on the DX-398 and it`s NW/SE, certainly not from Europe --- but the SAH may well be, such as Morocco. After last night`s report I found many more reports of this mystery in the IRCA iog, including: https://groups.io/g/IRCA/topic/72538278 ``Mark Pettifor 4:16am #7391 --- First noticed by Bill Frahm on Facebook. Looks like some kind of transmitter that's way off frequency, or accidentally transmitting on 711. By nulling, the signal seems to be coming from the direction of Cuba. Indeed, when tuning to the Key West SDR, it's quite strong, with a hum. No regular audio, just the hum (which I don't hear from my location). Attached is a screenshot of 5-minutes' worth of signal from my location here in northern Indiana (1020-1025 UTC), showing some audio artifacts on 60 and 120 Hz. This was on the south DKAZ, and Cuba on 710 was also coming in well at that time. Mark Pettifor, Goshen, IN, KC9DOC / en71ao`` ``Nick Hall-Patch 8:48am #7399 --- If it's a spur, it's widespread. Noted as late a 0630 UT in Victoria (also viewable on the respective DXFishbarrel), and seemed to be 711.000. At that time, I just assumed that it was Laayoune and tried to get audio, but didn't stay up late enough to see if it faded out at sunrise there. Nick`` Bill Whitacre 9:21am #7402 --- It was ?in? here [VA] ?til after sunrise. Be interesting to see when/if it ?fades in? tonight ? here and there`` The only reason Radio Rebelde is on 710 is to block ``wacky`` WAQI, Miami; main one is 200 kW but there are 6 more across The Greatest Violator of Human Rights of the Antilles, ranging from 1 to 50 kW. It seems quite likely one of those is off-frequency; from a transmitter with exact 1-kHz step tuning. Or almost, earing the het compared to 720 WGN, this one seems slightly on the plus side tonight. Overall, not as outstronging as last night. BTW, as I was monitoring this, there was a burst of RF noise at 0052 --- sure enough, it`s my nearest street light igniting, horizon almost clear at sunset 0048 UT. Usually I notice when tuning on SW; quite wideband. Fortunately it diminishes as the light brightens (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA carrier search, starting at 0029 UT March 26, 19 minutes before LSS: 1215, 1044, 936, 909, 774, 711 q.v., 549; by 0043 also 891. As for 774 which I reported with maybe 3 carriers beating last night, I would tonight also, but remember that before, there has been a spoiler in there, something local, unclear if receiver birdie or external, but even more offset below 774.000, matching something without any NDB ID, just below 387.0 of which 774 is 2 X. Previously, but not now, this has also been detected on X 3 = 1162, and X 4 = 1548, both of which could also be taken for legit 9-kHz bandplan signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0405 UT March 26 End of Hard-Core-DX Digest, Vol 207, Issue 26 *********************************************
