** ANTARCTICA. 15475.96, Feb 22 at 1803, via Pardinho SP KiwiSDR,
LRA36 ID in passing and again at 1804 as ``la radio más austral del
mundo``, seems discussion with station manager in Argentine accent, of
the station and history of the base. It seems that 22 Feb is the
anniversary of something. Tnx to tip from Dan Robinson who was hearing
it the previous hour also via this remote and still probably the one
at Gaithersburg MD, who`s been on RX #07 since 1716. This interrupts
my listening to Mozart at the Met! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15369.2+, Feb 21 at 2150, RHC still off-frequency at day #11.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Feb 22 at 0647, no signal from VON. It`s usually
there always with a bigsig (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 7138-LSB, Feb 22 at 0654, H44MS calling CQ DX over
and over, calls fonetikally. Much better signal than we ever get from
SIBC on 9545 or 5020; what does that tell us? So I then check 5020 and
get a JBA carrier next to Cuba.

Info from:
https://www.qrz.com/lookup/h44ms

He`s really a German who makes extended visits to SI, currently 5 Feb
to 20 April. ``H44MS is call of DL2GAC during DX vacations in Solomon
Islands since 1990 Main interests: DX, IOTA activations, award
hunting: US-county hunter.

QSL: via DL2GAC, BUREAU or DIRECT``, detailed instruxions for SWLs. NO
info on exactly which Solomon Island he is upon, but apparently not
Shortland, next to Bougainville, since that was a 1995 DX-pedition
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 21 at 2301, VOT English is on today but VP
signal; on contrary, Wolfgang Bueschel found it much better:
``5960.004, noted tremendous powerhouse of TRT Emirler site, Turkish
string instrument played and then final announcement at 2353 UT
followed. S=9+45dB or -33dm full powerhouse noted here in Germany and
Belgium-Netherland border remote SDR rx. At 23.55:07 UT sudden crash
'TX down OFF' midst on program in progress. CHINA, Now after that TRT
procedure, heard co-channel PBS Xinjiang Chinese service from Urumqi
bcast center, - 72 Hertz less fq on 5959.928 kHz measured. S=8-9 or
-70dBm less strong. 73 wb`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565-CW, Feb 22 at 1452, K6FRC beacon is JBA, first time
heard since Feb 5, always around this time of day if at all. Another
Californian with a lot more power and a lot more kHz is still
inaudible after 1600 when KVOH should be on 17775 with Wavescan (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13724, 13756, 13772, 13788, 13804; 13836, 13852, 13868,
13884, JBA carriers around these approx. frequencies, Feb 22 at 1455,
i.e. spurs out of 13820 Radio Martí, Grimesland, NC. More like JJBBA;
easily overlooked but since matching audio on one of them to 13820 a
few days ago, I know what these are, at ~16 kHz intervals from
fundamental.

Today no spurs from 13700 RHC; and 13740 RHC blox one of the RM spurs.
At 1525, 13740 RHC is still on with dead air. I start to try to
measure 13724 exactly to get a precise picture of the spurfield, but
just too weak and interrupted by some pulsing QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2022 monitoring: confirmed Friday
Feb 21 at 2300 on WRMI, initially not audible under jamming on 9955,
then becomes JBA; not very good on remotes in E USA or Quebec, but
fair with jamming at Bogotá, and good at Pardinho. By ending 2328,
finally atop jamming direct to OK.

Also confirmed UT Saturday Feb 22 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5010, fair S9 but
noisy; 7780, poor S7-S9; 5850, good S9+10/20, as to be expected from
the different azimuths, 5850 being right at us. Next:

** U S A. 7490.2, UT Sat Feb 22 at 0101, WBCQ `AAAWWW` is yet again
substituted with no AAA, rather Pirate Joe, starts talking over WTO
theme, very rambling, messing with settings like AW often does; says
nothing wrong with Allan, just continuing his sabbatical. Poor
reception, fair S9 but noisy and fading down. I`ll leave it to John in
case there is anything significant. Recheck at 0145, 7490 reception is
better and much stronger than // 5130 which is now detectable.

John Carver reports, first at 0104 UT Feb 22: ``Tonight's AAWWW ---
Glenn, No decent signal on 7490. 5130 transmitter is on with dead air
and no program. Will continue to listen. John`` --- and at 0209:

``Tonight's AAWWW --- No readable signal on 7490. Transmitter was up
on 5130 but just dead air. Dead air continued until 0127 when Pirate
Joe popped up out of nowhere in mid-sentence talking about community
radio and pirate radio. Then was castigating the government for their
stand on pirate radio which soon morphed into talk about homeless
Vietnam Vets and then back to pirate radio and then back to community
broadcasting. Pirate Joe mentioned that Allan and Angela would be back
in the spring. Program was off the air at 0200 and 5130 went into the
Hal Turner show. John, Mid-North Indiana``

``Spring`` ? So that means no earlier than March 21, no later than
June 20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1090, Feb 22 at 0701-0705:30 UT, KAAY Little Rock still
provides a ToH deadairhole, missing most of SRN news before gospel
music pops back on; all I could hear without really trying was
Spanish, XEAU (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5050, Feb 22 at 0655, weak carrier in 5040 RHC splash,
and nothing on 5055 which might be 4KZ. Certainly not WWRB, and
nothing else scheduled at this hour, not even China or India, which
would not be propagating this early anyway. Europirate? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
