** CANADA. 346 MCW kHz, Jan 4 at 0755, dash and YXL, the only beacon
barely overcoming noise level, 500 watts from Sioux Lookout, Ontario.
Where is it? ``Sioux Lookout is a town in Northwestern Ontario,
Canada. Located approximately 350 km (220 mi) northwest of Thunder
Bay, it has a population of 5,272 people ...`` i.e. more than halfway
to Manitoba border, NE of Dryden and north of Hwy 17, roughly 50 N/92

** CANADA. 28174 CW, re my Jan 3 log: ``Hi Glenn! Perhaps you
mis-typed the callsign into the QRZ.com search box. See

73, Steve Howe, Saint Albans, VT`` - Tnx, you`re right, viz.:
``VE1VDM Canada flag Canada, Vernon Matheson, 189 Kaulback St., Apt
401, Truro, NS B2N0B6, Canada --- Current operating status:
VE1VDM/B 10m beacon at 10 watts on 28.174 mhz. TX is a AA7DJ 10 meter
beacon and the antenna is a 10m dipole approximately 35' AGL -

And Steve replies again: ``Glenn, Happy to help! Vernon Matheson is
one of the most experienced LW beacon hunters in our ndblist.groups.io
group. His newer beacon, VA1VM, on 28,177 kHz, has recently been heard
in Italy by William Buchanan, one of our group’s 10m beacon hunters..

** MEXICO. 660 kHz, re my XEFZ log, from Tim Hall, IRCA Mexican Log
editor: ``Thanks for reporting this, Glenn. It just dawned on me that
the ABC Deportes format was 24h when it was on 570, so I should have
realized that the 24h schedule would probably continue when the format
moved to 660. This raises another question: since the ABC Noticias
format moved from 660 to 1310 as part of the same format shuffle, I
wonder if the 1310 ended up being 1200-0600 (as it had been on 660, at
least at some point in the past), or if 1310 might be 24h by now. I
need to check that before next year's Log comes out. 73 Tim`` (Glenn

WORLD OF RADIO 2223 monitoring: NOT confirmed UT Thursday January 4 at
0130 on WRMI 9395 - instead, continuous classic-rock such as ``Bridge
Over Troubled Waters``, or hard-rock music, segués with no pauses, no
announcements at all; perhaps as prélude to starting a week or more
later the thing now occupying this slot on the System G gray
skedgrid:
`Victory Above Only` --- Strange name for a program; nothing about in
on the WRMI Programming page, but broad websearch finds it right away:
https://victoryaboveonlyministries.org/index.html
which leads to involvement in Radio Africa Network, WRMI et al.
At 0200, 9395 joins in `WRMI Legends` as announced and gridded but
this segment for 15 minutes only, other stuff at 0215; and:
Confirmed UT Thursday June 4 at 0245, the 0230 WOR 2223 still on WRMI
9395, good direct.
Not confirmed Thursday June 4 at 1520 the alleged 1500 on WRMI 9955,
still music fill? instead as thruout December. System B sked still
shows WOR and not when we encountered us by chance and repeatedly, 24
hours earlier at 1500 Wednesdays.

UNIDENTIFIED. 7485-7531, Jan 4 at 0755, approx. extent of very strong
multi-tones; perhaps one of those experimental HF Trading outlets;
this would be a serious problem for WRNO 7505 if it happened to be on.
Like what I logged before: ``UNIDENTIFIED. 7467-7520 approx., Oct 31
at 0658, multiple tones / carriers beating against each other, what?
Peaks circa 7486 at S9+25. These would blow away WBCQ if it were on
now, which it is entitled to be, at 19-09`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
