Glenn Hauser logs February 7-8, 2025

** CANADA. 250 MCW kHz, Feb 8 at 0718 UT, dash and FO, 1600-watt ND
beacon at Flin FlOn, Manitoba. Last logged Feb 2, 2023! (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 300 MCW kHz, Feb 8 at 0722 UT, dash and YIV, 500-watt ND
beacon at Island Lake, MB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 870, Feb 8 at 0744 UT, wobbler and hardly any
signal from WWL, as often the case, strange. U3 50/50 kW, as the main
870 clear channel station, could be U1, but to avoid wastage over the
Gulf of Mexico! is direxional with null thataway, major lobes favoring
E/W to the north side, and should own 870 at night here (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 9590, Feb 7 at 2304, soft guitar music
with singer, language? S9+20/30 with flutter. Listed is CRI Spanish
via Kashgar. So has Spanish been replaced by music fill only, like
CRI  Portuguese? Still no 13650 of that at sametime via CUBA (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Feb 7 at 2300, token English from SNR VG direct,
S9+30/40, preview to be about photography exhibition - another subject
lacking essential video. 2301.5 news starts with Canary Islands
minor/miner migrants issue reaching agreement to forward them to
peninsula or Ceuta. Ken Zichi monitors Spainglés and reports in great
detail to his MARE Tipsheet then quoted in the WOR iog - so I don`t
have to (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4095, Feb 8 at 0713, sweeps upward and CW ID as DW = Desert
Whooper, plus some other JBA uncopiable CW. Often check for this vs
severe local noise level, but not logged since Nov 29 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2281 monitoring: confirmed Friday
February 7 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/20 direct but undermodulated.

Also confirmed Friday February 7 not starting until 2331 on SW Radio,
Germany, 3975.003-, S7/S9 into UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Saturday February 8 at 0400 on WTWW-2, 5085, VG
direct and S9/+10 into NH SDR, until 0430* and still not on webcast.

I never manage to happen to awaken Sat 0930/1000 to check for WOR as
sked on WRMI 9455; but shortly after 0900 Feb 8, I notice it is
*still* off the air, altho 9455 does funxion at other dayparts. Maybe
WOR on 7730 instead but too weak and too asleep.

Also confirmed Saturday February 8 at 1552 the 1530v on SW Radio,
Germany, 6160.001+, S9+5/10 into UTwente with some ACI from 6165
ChiCom.

Also confirmed Saturday February 8 at 1833 the 1830 on SW Radio,
Germany, 3975.002+, S9/+5 into UTwente.

** U S A [and non]. Pre-`AAAWWW` check of WBCQs, 0045 UT Sat Feb 8
into W1NT New Hampshire SDR: 9330.00 S7/S9 with WLCR; 7490 -71 Hz =
7489.929, no good S5/S7 with usual 7495 ACI; 6160 seems off but
something strong in English on 6155 - nothing in Aoki, but EiBi shows
BBC OMAN at 00-01; 5130 -17 Hz = 5129.983, S7/9+10 with algo; 3265 is
ON +180 Hz, S9+10/15 with FKB, presumably same as 7490. I keep
listening on 3265+ via NH:

0100 `WTO` theme and ``I`ve got transmitters on my transmitters ---
what?`` -- ``in the Democrats` face``. Now confirmed on 3, 5, 7 and 9
but NOT 6160, something else, presumably the usual `Intelligence
Report`. After theme, segué to C&W tune, ``sounds like the radio``
refrain. 0106 old ``The Planet`` liner. 0107 Allan finally speaks,
brings up Angela on phone, presumably still in Fla. 0112
``pentacasting on 5 transmitters`` -- NO, you are not, 6160 with
something else! Says he is in Maine on a maintenance visit, once each
winter; tnx Angela for some sox with copper strands to keep his feet
warm she got at a Dollar store. There was a staff party today. He
found chatGP useful in tackling some tech problem.

0116 QRM from pulsing on the minus side until 0121, rate of about 6
per second; also a continuous noise signal on 3250. Says he bought a
new 1 kW solid state transmitter for his AM 780 station, runs on 120V,
small, only 35/40 pounds compared to old tube transmitters. At 0127 I
notice shift to 3265.106 kHz. 0131 datestamp as 7 Feb YOOLF 2025, from
Studio #1. Now pulses on again from 3260. 0132 takes music request.
0136 playing old liners which are on carts. Pulses now cover 3250/3270
and can`t be avoided by USB tuning. Back to 3265.160. 0138 another
song. 0143 again claims ``pentacasting`` -- NOT, I check again; what
does he know?

0149 refers to ``Demoncrats``, endorses everything Trump and Musk are
doing except Trump should lower his electric bills. 0153 playing
request by Dominic for `Radio Radio` by Elvis Costello. 0156 e-mails,
no time for Free Radio Weekly. Pulsing back to lower side only. Wrapup
at 0200 as 3265 goes to dead air, 5130 to music, 6160 still something
else. At 0201, 3265 JIP Hal Turner until chop at 0209* when the noise
QRM also stops, suspiciously. By 0230, narrower loud noise continues
on 3250, and lesser noise on 3260 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9265, Feb 7 at 2303, WINB is S9+20/30 but JBM with some hum
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 950, Feb 8 at 0745, ``100.7 The Score`` promos. WTFDA FMDB
gets one hit: mere translator K264AN, relay of KJTV 950, Lubbock TX,
ESPN. NRC AM Log agrees except 950 call is KTTU, U4 5000/500. FCC LMS
shows facility 55061 as KTTU from July 2, 2024; had been KJTV from Oct
2, 2000; KXTQ from Nov 13, 1987, and originally KSEL from Feb 4, 1947.
Now there are also KTTU calls on FM and TV (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Feb 8 at 0706, JBA signal, no doubt from R. Vanuatu
still on here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
