** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Feb 22 at 0743, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati. Checking Oahu SDR this date, Gary Pence, KM5X, reported: trace seen at 0741 but not at 0918. Wednesday has sometimes been an off-night for them (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Feb 22 at 2305, token English from SNR on subject which does not grab me, so I`m mainly hearing simulTURKEY, q.v. But all four frequencies are on in usual descending quality > 12030 > 11940 > 11685 into Maryland SDR. BTW, JRX in Paraíba says 9690 for NAm is better there than 11940 for SAm. At 2315 interview about a Badajoz carnaval and museum, and then about the same in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, which she says is second only to the carnaval in Rio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960.003+, Feb 22 at 2301, VOT English makes in on air today unlike last two nights, VG S9+30/40 into UTwente; news mainly EQ stats such as official death toll now at 42,310. 2311 `Review of Turkish Press` ending, also about that. 2312 promo acknowledging S&R teams from abroad. 2313 `Whipping Piles` (?) about AI, such as a painting program, Canvas. 2318 `Weekly Commentary` about PKK terrorists [or sometimes sounds more like tourists] by heavily-accented YL, and now she also has the CCCCCCI from XJPBS, std denunciation, to cope with; criticising PKK for continuing to carry out attax despite the EQ damage. 2324 outro inviting anyone to submit their opinions by email for possible broadcast, and credit for this one by name and institution totally unreadable. Music break until 2333 `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring`, something about an anti-oxidant supplement involving the liver; 2340 bit of theme music but continues with more of same till 2342, then music break. After 2330 I`m mainly attending NBC Afternoonly News. 2352 squeezes in the multi-lingual ID filler reel, but chopped off the air at 2353.7* amid Swahili before completed; so we don`t even get any standard s/off or IS. Opening frequency for XJPBS now in the clear. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 365 MCW kHz, Feb 22 at 0747 UT, AA, 100-watt ND beacon at Fargo / Harwood ND: only somewhat unusual one now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 28243 CW, Feb 22 at 2134, EEEEEEEE DE WA6APQ/B, only one of many in the 10m hambeacon subband; per WI5V.net --- 28.244 WA6APQ C LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA # 30W, VERTICAL. --- QRZ.com: ``WA6APQ flag USA, DEWEY MYERS, 2903 Monogram Ave, LONG BEACH, CA 90815 - The WA6APQ BEACON on 28.2440 MHz is located on a 330 foot hill (Signal Hill) in Long Beach, California.

WORLD OF RADIO 2178 monitoring: ``From: Richard Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees, Dear Glenn: Confirming World of Radio #2178, WRMI: 9395, 0030, 0044, 0059 (55433), 0059, February 22 UTC 2023 [Wed] (Lemke, Richard -AB) Also confirmed UT Wednesday February 22 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20 direct.

This shows you how seriously Rocking M Media takes its broadcasting business. Long spans of dead air or off-air have happened several times before. I wonder if their 100.3 translator still modulate; doesn`t reach here. BTW, radio-locator.com shows there is another KLEY on FM 95.7 in Jourdanton TX, presumably unrelated; as FCC abandoned the idea of unique callsigns years ago if both parties agreed to share. KLEY in KS has a sibling station on 1550 in nearby Winfield, KKLE where I am not hearing it; had been reactivated at least briefly some months ago // 1130 instead of two different formats. 1130 carrier normally runs all night, modulated or not, obviously 250 watt day power instead of one watt at night, to detriment of KWKH which obviously does not care (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Feb 22 around 0730, RV JBA here as usual, and no 7255- Nigeria (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9700, Feb 22 at 0726, S9+10 dead air and quite steady. Currently a RNZP frequency not scheduled in Aoki & EiBi until *1651 much later; while 13755 is in well. Neither caught it that 9700 has axually been heard as early as 1400 Feb 10, // 7390. Possibly a #2 NZ transmitter test, but suspect RHCuba instead, while no other usual frequencies are still on. Aoki reminds us Turkey here until 0656, EiBi until 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 25975 LSB, Feb 22 at 2127, Brazilian 2-way; 26305.3 AM, Feb 22 at 2131, 2-way in English. I`m scanning the 11mb portion 25800-26500 for any NBFM broadcast auxiliaries like KOVR`s on 26110, hitting nothing but these two (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0122 UT February 23
