** BRAZIL [and non]. 6170, Jan 31 at 0730, JBA carrier from presumed
R. Saturno. First time I have detected it since a few days ago it was
reported reactivated here, ex-6150.
EiBi & Aoki, not yet up with it on 6170, indicate these windows when
North Korea, Ascension, Philippines are NOT on 6170: 2050-0200,
0300-0500, 0530-1000. And disregarding R. Europa, Holland, lowpower
possibly 24h; and Scandinavian Weekend Radio, Finland, at certain
hours once almost every month, including Feb 3-4, ON at 22-14 &
18-22.
Saturno was a rare newcomer to SW, not even making WRTH 2022 on 6150.
It was first reported Oct 31, 2021 by Bryan Clark, NZ: a Belo
Horizonte 92.3 FM station adding SW. Again tnx to Bryan who heard it
on 6170 Jan 28, 2023, ex-6150 where heard on Jan 22, and Brazilians
first reported 6170 on Jan 24. Further chex here needed! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 2598 USB, Jan 31 at 0737, marine weather by roboyl for
Grand Banx area, S8. 2749 USB not on yet but at 0740 with more of same
on weaker signal, i.e. first broadcasts of day from 2598, 3 kW VCP-4
at Placentia, Newfoundland; and 2749, 0.5 kW VCO Sydney, Nova Scotia.
BTW, nowhere on the extensive dxinfocentre.com/mb roster are there any
VCP-1, -2 of -3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, Jan 31 at 0732, RHC S9+10 with maybe a trace of
modulation while all its 5, 6 and 10 MHz frequencies are off.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KOREA NORTH. 9650, Jan 31 at 0735, S5 of choral music, no doubt VOK
Japanese as scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MADAGASCAR. 17730, Jan 31 at 1622, S7/S9 algo JBM: listed is AWR in
Marathi to India via Talata (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 31 at 0733, no signal from VON; was it on
earlier today? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.000+, Jan 31 at *2259 carrier on over BBC
Oman promo until its 2259.5*. Bit of music, dead air. 2300, 4+1
timesignal and Chinese! s/on of XJPBS Urumqi, no sign of VOT. XJPBS
carrier may be on by 2300 but usually does not start modulating until
about 2311. But VOT has come on late, S9+40 by next check 2307 with
news in progress, on 5960.002+, both as measured by UTwente Synch. The
+ means constantly fluxuating in the hundredths of a Hz, not clear
whether of the transmitters, receiver, or both. VOT continues well
atop XJPBS as an undercurrent.
2314 `Review of the Turkish Press`, not in any depth as usual. 2316
song. 2320 `Weekly Commentary`, by a freelance journalist in Berlin
whose name I cannot copy, read by the heavily-accented woman
announcer, about anti-American sentiment in Germany, foot-dragging on
aiding Ukraine with some faxions wanting to maintain close relations
with Russia. Implies that it`s in US` interest to escalate the war!
Closing with disclaimer about opinions, name again I cannot
understand, and invites listeners to submit their own commentaries by
email for possible broadcast.
2329 music. 2336 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2338 music. 2344 recipe
for a pastry in `Turkey`s Geo-something Products`. 2346 multi-lingual
ID filler reel *again*. 2348 music. 2353 s/off with full but jumbled
English sked. 2354 IS. 2356 restart IS with German IDs interspersed.
0000 Feb 1, 5+1 timesignal, same pitch but final pip prolonged, and
s/on German, into news. Finally cuts off at 0010 uncovering XJPBS.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 13565, Jan 31 at 1558, K6FRC, Patterson CA, 1.8 mW HIFER
beacon is JBA with calls repeating, QRMing CODAR (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Jan 31 at 0731, R. Vanuatu is S8/S9 with drumming
and announcements on 3 x 3945, while that and X 2 on 7890 not checked.
As to be expected, NZ 13755 also with VG signal now (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-oceanic JBA 9/kHz split MW carrier search, Jan 31
at 0739: unusually, none at all heard: getting too late and/or
high-latitude TA paths suppressed? and TP Kiritimati maybe off? While
on SW, NZ 13 and Vanuatu 11 MHz coming in very well (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
This report dispatched at 0016 UT February 1
