** CANADA. 362 MCW kHz, Feb 9 at 0759, dash and SB, 500-watt ND beacon
of Greater Sudbury, Ont., seldom audible but now just enough vs local
HNL. How does this differ from plain old Sudbury? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CUBA. 11845, Feb 9 at 0813, pulse jamming against nothing, a
long-abandoned, daytime-only, R. Martí frequency, but just in case!
You can`t be too careful. PJ also on current daytime-only RM channels,
11860 & 11930. The Other Side:
READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW February 3, 2023 SOCIETY DDC Today:
'The law is prostituted in Cuba,' complain students at the University
of Havana. They say that the Law School has become a 'den of police,
opportunists and mediocrity'. DDC | La Habana
Students at the Law School of the University of Havana expressed their
disagreement with the educations they are receiving at an academic
institution where the violations of rights committed by the Cuban
regime are not addressed, nor the challenges that this entails for the
justice system``...

** KIRITIMATI. 846, Feb 9 at 0755, no JBA carrier detectable from R.
Kiribati. But Gary Pence, KM5X, had detected it at 0403 into Oahu SDR
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, Feb 9 at 0815, surprised to hear some Pidgin
here with keywords ``blong``, VG S9+10/20. Must be a change by RNZP
back to a previous frequency, ex-13755? NO, it`s on that too at equal
VG level. Imagine: two AM frequencies at once. How to Listen website:
0559-1258 13755 + 11725 from 8 Feb Pacific Mon-Sun
0859-1258 13755 + 11725 from 8 Feb NW Pacific Vanuatu Solomon Isl PNG
Mon-Fri
Such a display is extremely confusing. Does it mean that one of the
frequencies switches to NNW antenna at 0859 but not on weekends? If
so, which one? They are not specified as AM, like many others in the
sked. At various other times when there are two frequencies, one of
them is DRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2177)
** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW kHz, Feb 9 at 0756 UT, no signal from PN, ND
beacon at Ponca City; had been reliable for several weeks, day and
night by groundwave whenever checked, my strongest NDB, even more than
341 EnId. Still off at 1835 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** TAIWAN. 11745, Feb 9 at 0814, S9/+10 in Japanese, what? RTI this
hour via Paochung site per Aoki. Azimuth should favor N America far
beyond. 11745 is occupied by Al-Azm, the Sa`udi AFRTS, 22 hours per
day not including this one (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 395 MCW kHz, Feb 9 at 0758 UT, 25-watt ND beacon at
Newton/Harvs, Kansas, JBA vs local noise level peak.
407 MCW kHz, Feb 9 at 0758 UT, HRU, 25-watt ND beacon at Herington,
Kansas, blocked for some time by local noise peak circa 400 kHz,
enough S/N to ID it again, but tuned to 405 USB, heard much better
than on 407 itself (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2176 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday February 8 at 0130 on WRMIs: 9395, S9+10/15 into Lincoln NE
SDR; 5010, S6/S8 into Maryland SDR. First I tried for 5010 on Campo,
Brasil SDR, but it was JBA beneath CW QRM.

** U S A. 4980, Feb 9 about 2315, and Feb 10 at 0204, WRMI still here.
Ivo Ivanov says a new #4 frequency for WRMI Legends has been
registered with HFCC, 5050 at 2300-0500 in B22, replacing 4980. Recall
that 5050 was frequency of defunct WWRB. Also, paving the way, Mark
Taylor, WI, NASWA Flashsheet, reported a pirate on 5050 USB, Feb 5 at
0403, Mix Radio International (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2177)
** VANUATU. 11835, Feb 9 at 0810, no signal from R. Vanuatu on 3 X
3945, altho NZ pounding in on new 11725; also Taiwan on 11745. Gary
Pence, KM5X, agrees at 0812: ``Vanuatu continues on 7260. No Signal on
3945. I just checked in at the ToH on 7260 and copied at KFS rSDR H
.M. Bay, CA a S9+5db signal to hear a YL give an ID and other info
with no signal copied on 3945 and its accompanying harmonics. 73s,
Gary`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2177)
