** BRAZIL. 9665v, Jan 29 at 0655, NO signal from RVM, must be off. At
0701 a JBA carrier about 11750, but could be China. Need to keep
checking for RVM also on 5940- despite WWCR, Nothing on any of the 3
into Bonaire at 1850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11860 & 11930, Jan 29 at 0703, pulse jamming about S3/S4 vs
nothing, R. Martí frequencies only in daytime. Before 0700, would have
QRMed Romania in English from 0630, foolishly chosen 11930 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GERMANY. 9670, Jan 29 at 0655, ME? music with drumming, S8/S9, too
strong for Channel 292, else? NO, at 0700 it *is* 292 with Germenglish
ID: even during German they pronounce 292 in English. BTW, no Brasil
9665v ACI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** JAPAN. 11825, Jan 29 at 0702, classical music at S5/S7, presumably
NHK in Japanese as listed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Jan 29 at 2300, token English from SNR, 9690, VG
into Maryland SDR, feature to be about Spain`s preliminary competition
for Eurovision Song Contest; news starts with this being the
trimonthiversary of the Valencia storm which killed more than 200, and
controversy about how the governments handled it. Other frequencies
not checked until 2346 after English. Zero signal on 12030, presumed
off; visible traces only of 17715 & 17755 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. 3955 LSB, Jan 29 at 0649, ham QSO with QRDRM,
right smack dab amid BBC Woofferton DRM hour 3950-3955-3960; one may
have mentioned some noise. N5KDH with definite fonetik call, per ARRL:
ISTRE, DOUGLAS J, N5KDH, 1610 DEER PARK DR, VIDOR, TX 77662. The other
sounded like K5EEN or K5EDN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 26110 FM, Jan 29 at 1635, S5/S6 news, no doubt KMK282, aux
of KOVR/KMAX Stockton/Sacramento, too weak for full quieting (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9265, Jan 29 at 0250, WINB, S9+25 with squeals - not noticed
this particular defect on 9265 before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU [and non]. 9960, Jan 29 at 0657, S6/S8 talk in presumed
Bislama, RV better than usual, but off at 0729 check rather than
running over as last few nights. 9955 WRMI undermodulated at S9+26,
not a problem. BTW, WRMI skedgrids are now ``effective Jan 26, 2025``
tho individual System blox still show March 10, 2024 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 518 kHz, Jan 29 at 0708 UT, sounds of NAVTEX. Far too
many choices in complex scheduling, but presumably something closest:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5896.5 SSB, Jan 29 at 0157 VG loud and clear signal talk
in English: at first thought a broadcaster off-frequency, until
``out``. MARS or something. Must avoid times WWCR is on 5890, never
noted while it`s on. Klingenfuß 2022 has nothing on this exact
frequency. UDXF iog has only five hits 2015-2020y as USAF MARS and/or
FEMA net (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 12169-12213 approx., Jan 29 at 1629, wideband
multi-carrier, multi-tones peaking about 12202 at steady S9+26. Just
far enough above 12160 not to bother WWCR. Same sounds as long heard
circa 17450, quite weak right now; and several other ranges. What is
this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
