** ASCENSION. 21630, Feb 18 at 1557, S4/S5 open carrier, 1558 Bow
Bells, i.e. BBC about to open one hour only of English aimed 114
degrees at half power 125 kW per HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, Feb 18 at 0740, S9/+20 of dead air from the only RHC
still transmitting; sleepyrators zzz? Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 21690, Feb 18 at 1557, exploring 13m beyond 21525 WRMI, JBA
signal here, i.e. end of Swahili hour of RFI. Very few signals are
even on the 13m air during out daytime. See also ASCENSION (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN [non]. 5910, another check Feb 18 for the weekly Friday new
clandestine, Channel 1 TV originating in Canoga Park, California. Last
week it was half an hour of dead air but meanwhile, the source was
identified. Monitoring Feb 18 via UTwente heard abrupt *1730, S9/+10
of dead air again with lite hum, but 1732 cut on abruptly modulation
in progress. Talk in presumed Farsi, bit of music, crowd noise,
mentions Iran, and a few times, Kordestan, anthem-like choral music;
interview for a while, then monolog until 1753.5 a snippet of the same
music, DA and 1754.6* cut off air already. Occasionally was a bit of
breakup, not sure if transmitter or receiver-caused. Never heard a
word of English, nor the reported ID in Farsi of ``Kanal Yek TV``, but
could have missed it. Site believed Uzbekistan, as in EiBi presumably
derived from WOR iog research, but still not in HFCC or Aoki. Website
is https://ch1.cc/ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 15605, Feb 18 at 1517, S9/S6 talk in unknown language,
already off at 1528 check. Per HFCC it`s AWR, 250 kW, 35 degrees from
MDC in ``Lus`` language. But WRTH 2022 page 299 under, where else?
Thailand shows Mizo language to S Asia, daily 1500-1530. EiBi agrees
MZ language, Aoki Lus from Talata. EiBi`s readme.txt accounts for
both: ``MZ Mizo / Lushai: India-Mizoram (0.7m)[lus]`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW kHz, Feb 18 at 0742 and still 1515, PN, 25-watt
ND beacon at PoNca City, is back. Latest outage started Feb 11 (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2126 monitoring: confirmed first
broadcasts, UT Friday February 18 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850 VG direct;
7780, S9/+10 into UTwente. Once again WRMI overrides the last few
words of my closing as heard on 7780.

Also confirmed UT Friday February 18 at 0330 on WRMI 5985, as usual
JBA S9 direct and noisy, but surely better southwards.

with no jamming. Next:
