** CUBA. 5025, Jan 20 at 0703, S9+10/30 of dead air from R. Rebelde;
and again no RHC signals still on this late. Something`s always wrong
at RadioCuba. This vs my typical local HNL of S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Jan 20 at 0710, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati
and none other 9/kHz splits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Thanks to Enid`s only local TV signal, K17JN-D
on RF and virtual 17 being on the air this week, I am able to view
another episode of 3ABN-TV`s `AWR 360: Broadcast to Baptism`,
0430-0500 UT Friday January 20. It`s so saccharine that I can`t bear
to listen to it, but keep an eye on the video. This time there is no
disclaimer at the start admitting that it`s all dramatization rather
than documentary. Four similar stories of non-Caucasian people
happening to pick up an AWR broadcast and winding up almost drowned by
a 7DA official. (I`d take the Methodist method any day.) Madagascar,
Namibia, Mexico and Tanzania, NO info on station names, frequencies or
exact locations somewhere in the center of each country, with stylized
towers radiating animated signals: doubtful any would have been SW,
likely local FM if they really exist. Subjects were holding
unrecognizable boxes up to their ears with rod ``antennas``. Then of
course pitches to fund such ``conversions`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Jan 20 at 2306-2330, VG S9+15/20 into Maryland
SDR, token English feature from REE is about Chinese/American painter
Martin Wong, *1946-1999*, exhibit in Spain until Jan 29, Justin Coe
interviewing curators. Easy to find images of his work online, making
this much more interesting, including this in particular:
https://www.comunidad.madrid/en/noticias/2022/11/08/comunidad-madrid-presenta-primera-exposicion-monografica-europa-artista-martin-wong
not to be confused with another Martin Wong, photographer of seminude
young women. // 11940 = 12030 both S6/S9, but no signal at all on
11670 or 11685 as Africa continues out of luck (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960, Jan 20 at 2303, NO signal from VOT English for
N America nor XJPBS into UTwente. Still no VOT at 2330, but XJPBS in
Chinese has come on in the meantime. Std denunciation. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 335 MCW kHz, Jan 20 at 0714, BV, 25-watt ND beacon
at BatesVille, Arkansas; mixing with slightly stronger dash and YLD,
1000 watts at Chapleau, Ontario. Could no longer be confused with 336,
another BV in Québec, decommissioned; nor with our very own BV in
BartlesVille OK, since it`s allegedly on 201 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2174 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, UT Friday January 20 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S7 into Maryland SDR
with the noise blast for 14 seconds at the start; much better S9/+10
into Louisiana SDR.

Also confirmed Friday January 20 at 1530 on WRMI 9955, S8 with deep
fades to S3 direct but no jamming audible. Due to cutoffs early or no
signal previous weeks, I monitor the entire program which is intact
this week, and still on past 1600-1612+ with TOMBS; preceded by
Blalock the Blaster at 1500.

Also confirmed Friday January 20 at 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
Villa Estense, for first time in a longtime active on 918 kHz at
S9+27, slightly stronger signal than usual 1323 at S9+15, both VG with
only JBA traces of QRM. Nothing still on LW 207, into nearby Noale
SDR. Tuned in at 2127 to some unknown Anglo/American discussion about
economix, which inevitably is faded out incomplete at 2130 for ID as
``You are listening to medium wave`` and QSL address before WOR start.
Once running I hear a few hiccups but can`t tell where in the process
they interrupt; certainly beyond my esophagus. Next:

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid, OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5890, Fri Jan 20 at 0705, S9+30 of unknown gospel huxter not
// TOMBS on 5850 WRMI. WWCR continues to claim on Jan 1 program sked
that #4 transmitter 5890 is NOT on the air M-F 0600-1300; with TOMBS
overnight only on Sat & Sun. This also repossiblizes the leapfrog
mixing product over 5935 on 5980 vs totally pointless Cuban jamming,
as Martí currently scheduled on 5980 at 11-14 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU [and non]. 11835 >> 7890, Jan 20 at 0658, again today R.
Vanuatu already on 3945 harmonix, JBA carriers, not 7260. And good
signal from 13755 NZ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Last report should have been subjected Jan 19, 2023, not 2022; sigh
