** ALASKA. 6075, Feb 11 at 0800 tune-in just as KNLS is signing on
English, plays IS for one minute, then program summary of ensuing
bits, ``from the top of the world`` --- well, not quite, and certainly
do not expect any Breaking News from AK! studios in Franklin,
Tennessee. S9/+10 but says also audible at www.knls.org (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Feb 11 around 1530-1540, zero signals
from LRA36, checked on various Argentine, Brazilian SDRs; at what used
to be a reliable Sat airing. Guess now it`s only ``specials`` if
pre-publicized. Not all these SDRs are hearing any SW signals at all,
blank waterfalls, but I pick a couple which appear to be funxional
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** AUSTRALIA [non]. 10120-10130, Feb 11 at 0734, no sign of phonehams,
just heavy CW in this normally sparse part of the ``30m`` band. Must
be a contest, which usually rule out the so-called newer ``WARC
bands``. Some months ago I was hearing some USB hams ragchewing Strine
accents on a few frequencies in this range, long-winded and never
caught a callsign; later researched that indeed, Australia allows
phone unlike all? other countries. BUT, since then, not a trace of any
voice contacts, even when prop ought to be funxional. Wha` happened?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 9665.083, Feb 11 at 0740, S5/S6 praise songs in Brazuguese?
as always VG modulation, from R. Voz Missionária. Had not measured it
lately; varies both sides of 9665 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, Feb 11 at 0747, NO signal from RNZP, recently
added second AM frequency. Would certainly be heard if on, as 13755 is
inbooming SSOB at S9+10/20 with ``Deep River Blues``. How to Listen
sked has now been amended to show:
``0559-1258 13755 NW Pacific Vanuatu Solomon Isl PNG Mon-Sun
0859-1258 13755+11725 from 11 Feb NW Pacific Vanuatu Solomon PNG
Mon-Sun``
But Gary Pence, KM5X, says there was still no 11725 at 0942 this
Saturday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW kHz, Feb 11 at 0814 UT, PN, 25-watt NDB at PoNca
City is back on the air, also circa 1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4752+ CW, Feb 11 after 0300 UT, I`m following up on my
previous log of CW IDs in the middle of a CODAR swirsher span at :23
and :43 minutes past an hour. Not sure yet which coast it`s upon, I`m
running the Missouri SDR mid-America near WA0RCR. Sure enough, the IDs
fire at exactly 0323, 0343 and 0403 and I record them to be sure I
copy them accurately and to illustrate in next WOR. Each time they run
twice in a row while the swirshing does pause: WRPW597 --- that`s it.
Looks like a typical FCC utility call format, not a geolocator as
someone suggested. Now it`s just a matter of searching out those
alfanumerix, leading immediately to: https://www.radioreference.com/db/browse/ctid/2/fcc Baldwin County, Alabama:
University of Southern Mississippi
Callsign: WRPW597
Frequency: 4.46300000
Granted: 2022-03-25
Stat: A
Units: 1
Pag: 0
Code: LR
Service: RS
City: Gulf Shores Exactly same info listed for:
Okaloosa County, Florida
City: Destin I`m not finding a key to the abbrs., like exactly what mean Stat, Pag,
Code and Service. Perhaps someone can explain. 4463 kHz would be the
lower boundary of this CODAR range, but strange that bandwidth or
upper limit is not shown, nor power or other parameters. Gulf Shores is in the SE corner of AL; Destin FL is 115 km = 73 stmi =
62 nm almost due east along the coast, the other side of Pensacola. Hattiesburg is main campus of USM, considerably inland, but also, near
Gulfport: ``Gulf Park Campus -- Through its 52-acre beachfront campus
in Long Beach, Mississippi, the University serves as the only
four-year public institution located on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and
offers bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees. The Gulf Park campus
is also home to the state’s only bachelor’s degree in ocean
engineering...`` Now we also know whom to complain to about CODAR QRM to legitimate
tropical band broadcasters; or try to QSL them? One would expect other
CODARs to contain equivalent IDs if anyone care to go after them. Per the same reference, WRPE540, a CODAR call copied by Ken Zichi in
MI, belongs to Rutgers Univ of NJ in Atlantic County, Brigantine,
which is just up the coast from Atlantic City, on two frequencies, 4463
and 5262. But nothing for WRPU84E - perhaps last character wrong

Feb 11 at 0100, WBCQs with a new `AAAWWW`. Starts with tribute to CE
Tom Barna, who died recently, ``after a short illness``. By 0106 back
to business, insulting Democrats as Moonbats (but not Communists,
progress?) and President Biden as a puppet - how could anyone who
watched his SOTU think that??? At least still another week without
referring to ``our president T****``. Webcast interrupted several
times for buffering, apparently on internet feed from FL to ME - picks
up without anything missed, but annoying. Soon reads long piece from
the Fairfield Journal in Maine warning of the dangers of AI, watch out
for robots taking over the world and squashing mere humans like we
squash mosquitos. Finally finished with that at 0140 as I notice ACI
upon weakening 7490 into Maryland SDR, which must be R. Ashna from
Kuwait after 0130. 0151 finally date stamp as 10th of Feb YOOLF 2023,
from Studio 9 in Deland of Fla. 0156 some email. At 0159 am listening
to 6160 webcast when canned Allan interrupts live Allan`s prayer for a
legal ID, and then back to prayer. I then switch to 7490 webcast and
notice it`s running a good many seconds behind, so JIP Hal Turner
already talking at 0201 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 6159.937, Feb 11 at 0754, S9+10 of dead air from WBCQ
instead of TOMBS which has been running all-night, until when? Remains
totally missing from any time on

Yet Allan is so concerned about electricosts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330v, Feb 11 at 1617, WBCQ WLCR SuperStition is OFF. Wonder
what`s the matter now. Last night unlogged time but noticed it was
almost exactly on-frequency for a change! Maybe off air till can be
off-frequency again? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Feb 11 at 0753, JBA M&W talk, S7/S9 with flutter
