** CANADA. 6754 USB, Feb 19 at 0722, Trenton Military, ``No Report
Received`` from Calgary, Cold Lake, Winnipeg, Edmonton, and repeating.
Standard derision. Are any reports ever received now? Those with more
patience may keep listening longer. Meanwhile 10051 USB Gander as
usual funxional including Calgary too. At 1627, no CHR signal on day
frequency 15034 USB; while 15150 WMLK is quite audible, S9+25 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EAST TURKISTAN. I`ve been remiss lately in not denouncing
imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems,
whenever the land of E.T. come up - if you think this exaggerate,
watch THE BROKEN PROMISE which aired on PBS Tuesday night and maybe
repeats: https://www.thebrokenpromisefilm.com/
It deals with far too many instances of genocide, prominent among
them, ``Xinjiang`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 11529.9, Feb 19 at 1621, S4/S5 music from ex-Hikari
FM, pirate. Numerous logs of it by Rick Barton, Sun City AZ, on
``11530+/-``: Feb 18 at 1700; Feb 16 at 1630, 1715, 2200+; Feb 14 at
*1725, all day, fadeout by 0030; Feb 13 at 2230 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 12100 USB, Feb 19 at 2005, mostly non-vocal hard
rock and pause for YL ID as ``From the United States of America, Mix
Radio International, Worldwide``, S7 into Maryland SDR. Many more
frequent IDs, such as at 2030. Continuing at rechex 2117, 2158, 2227.
At 2120 I tuned it direct: S7/S8, compared to WEWN 12050 S9+15/20. Tnx
to original tip from Eric Fetters-Walp on WOR iog. More reports here:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,141171.0.html
So if they assert to be in USA, we don`t need to vagueize it to NAm?
It`s considered poor form for DXers to try to locate pirates, but I
privately run TDOA and get some totally contradictory results, as
usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17755, Wed Feb 19 at 1613, the only REE, S8/9+5, rarely
sufficient direct to here instead of Africa; as 12030 for ME is still
AWOL and WHem channels 9690 & 17715 do not start until 1900 weekdays.
By 2300 for token English, into UTwente we only hear 9690, with 17715
& 17755 presumably not propagating in the nightmiddle. Initial subject
is emergency EU summit conference, tnx to Felodent Drumpf siding with
Putin over ``dictator`` Zelenskyy (Glenn Hauser, OK WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 9660, Feb 19 at 1728, VOT IS with ID in Spanish!
VG S9+20/25 into UTwente. TS at 1730 and s/on English as if it were
1330 on 13635. Somethings always awry at Ankara. Preview of an unnamed
feature, Sports Panorama and Turkish music, into news; 1741 music.
1746 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 1748 music. 1758 about comparative
linguistix, words/concepts which are untranslatable from one language
to another, with many examples, from the journal Science? Did not
catch title of this segment, if any. 1803 music. 1807 Sports Panorama,
yawn. 1815 music. 1821 multi-lingual ID filler reel again! 1823 s/off
as if 1330 on 13635 - something`s always awry at Ankara. 1824 IS.
Chopoff at 1824.7*
6050, Feb 19 at 2013, English also confirmed on 1930 emission,
S9+30/45 into UTwente. Did not check the 2130 on 9610; but at 2300,
5960 is absent, and back to its old trix, 9610.003 is still on
instead, at S9+60! into UTwente. No doubt a repeat of 1930 repeat of
1730 repeat of 1330. Stays on 9610+ to 2355.6* chopoff amid IS.
It so happens that at the very same time, 2300 UT Feb 19, PBS Create
channel features a Rick Steves` Europe [sic] episode on Istanbul!
which is much more informative. At least on OETA-3 in OK, repeats at
0300 & 1000 UT Feb 20:
``Where Europe comes face to face with Asia, we'll explore the
fascinating, multilayered city of Istanbul. We'll lose our way in the
Grand Bazaar and feast like kings with locals at a fisherman's wharf.
We'll follow the fall of the Byzantium and the rise of Islam at the
city's ancient wall, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace. To
escape the city bustle, we'll board a boat on the churning Bosphorus,
make friends over backgammon, and try a traditional bath.`` But we
often wonder if old travelogs like this would hold up today, this one
(C) 2008; one can guess by how young Rick may look.
WRTH 2025 skips Turkey, International sexion page 588 going from
THAILAND to UKRAINE! WRTH 2024 still had it with Spanish at 1730 on
9495, English on 9660. And indeed simulSpanish is still on 9495. O,
there it is in 2025 WRTH: page 586, Türkiye alfabetized between
Switzerland and Taiwan. I don`t think U-umlaut falls before A even in
German.
As in my previous report, the 2130 & 2300 English broadcasts were back
on Monday Feb 17 but missing again on Tuesday Feb 18; missed checking
at 0400 UT Wednesday. Alan Roe tells me English did occur today Feb 19
at 1330 on 13635, and:
``TURKEY. As first reported on Monday 17th in the WOR iog mail list by
John Jurasek (VORW) and Craig Tyson, the English Service of TRT The
Voice of Turkey have resumed their programming - that is, the
broadcasts are no longer simply relays of TV audio of TRT World. I
listened on Tuesday and also confirmed that the regular English
presenters are back with VOT programming. It seems that the programme
schedule may have changed slightly compared to what was heard before
their hiatus with "Unscripted Twists of Fate" (previously heard on
Wednesdays) and a new programme "The First Quarter of the Millennium".
For anyone who's lost track of their English frequency schedule, it is:
1330-1425 13635
1730-1825 9660
1930-2025 6050
2130-2225 9610
2300-2355 5960
0400-0455 6125 7285
I'll update and re-upload the programme schedule to

** U S A. 338 MCW kHz, Feb 19 at 0711 UT, RYN, 400-watt non-direxional
beacon at Tucson / RYaN, Arizona. I hear this more often that much
closer TU, TUlsa OK. I wonder if the latest fatal small plane
collision today near Tucson could have been avoided by their
monitoring RYN better (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
