** ASCENSION. 11660, Feb 28 at 0727, song in English S9/S6, chopped
off air at 0729* without any announcement. Aoki shows BBC French at
0700. Romania in Arabic supposed to follow at 0730 but unheard before
0730 tune-out; should have been running IS. Well-coördinated
scheduling also shows Turkey on 11660 at 0450-0656; not so well-coörd,
also CNR2 at 01-09, no sign of that. It`s off for siesta after 0600 on
Day 4 only, but this is Day 3 = Tuesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, Feb 28 at 0726, S9/S7 open carrier from RHC on way
late again. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EAST TURKISTAN. In case you find my denunciations of ``imperialist
ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems``, excessive
whenever XJPBS comes up such as QRM to Turkey 5960, consider this: ``How a search tool offers overseas Uyghurs harrowing insights
William Yang, Taipei, 02/23/2023 February 23, 2023
Leaked data and a search tool have allowed some overseas Uyghurs to
gain insights into their family members in China's Xinjiang region.
Some say they feel a deep sense of guilt while others are filled with
fear. [...]

via Hansjörg Biener`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GUATEMALA [non]. 4055, R. Verdad, which has been off the air from
Chiquimula for more than a year: Dr Madrid is still believing that by
paying some organization, which has no web presence, the 4055 SW
signal will soon be available worldwide via satellite. And claims that
testing is now underway. A few days ago it was ``heard`` in China, and
the perfect-Spanish ``reception report`` he forwarded is pretty
obviously fabricated. This has been discussed in more detail in the
WOR iog. For once, he publicized the latest test in advance: Feb 28 from 2200
UT past 0300, the first part to be heard in Europe only. Guess what,
UTwente is getting no sign of it at 2237, 2321, 2355 chex, but there
is a roaring noise centred 4050 with no specific carrier. Later he
says the worldwide test would be around 3 am - I guess local time? so
09 UT. We are 99% sure that poor Dr Madrid is letting himself be conned out
of scare funds, and have warned him repeatedly in the past. If any
legit DXer ever hear this directly or via any remote, we may have to
reconsider; meanwhile beware of a pirate possibly pretending to be
this on 4055. He seems to be implying that the SW frequency 4055 is
being transmitted from multiple satellites, as if HF 4 MHz were not
totally inappropriate for direct satellite broadcasting; has promised
to explain how this worx once it`s successful (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Feb 28 circa 0745, no sig detected from R.
Kiribati, maybe due prop storms even on a trans-eq path. Gary Pence
confirmed it earlier at 0425z with a screenshot from Oahu SDR (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960.003+, Feb 28 at 2256, VOT IS is already on blotting
out BBC OMAN, S9+30/40 into UTwente. 2300 TS and s/on again mentions
only the 1330, 1930 and 0400 broadcasts. First news item is like this,
412-2 vote in US House:
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/mtg-house-turkey-syria-earthquake-b2291044.html
Modulation level is loud enough, in fact too loud causing some
distortion, more so during music. Before sports, ends with report that
Antarctic sea ice area is the lowest in 45 years. 2314 `Review of
Turkish Press` quoting Recep et al. always brief, hardly more than a
few extra headlines. 2316 salute to S&R teams from all over the world.
2317.5 `Weekly Commentary` by Brad McDermott? an Australian
psychiatrist, a guide to healing from EQ depression, PTSD. 2327 ``TRT
VOT is with you`` promo, distorted music break. 2331 multi-lingual ID
filler reel. 2334 about aromatic apples produced somewhere in Turkey,
was `Turkey`s --algo-- Products`. 2336 salute to S&R teams again. Just
realized I`m not hearing the CCCCCCI from East Turkistan, q.v. Maybe
buried further than usual. 2337 music. 2343 third salute to S&R teams,
music. 2348 ``always by your side`` promo, more music. 2352 s/off
again citing 1330, 1930, 0400 bcs only, why? 2354 IS gets to repeat a
few times before chopoff* uncovering XJPBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2179 monitoring; next:

unreadable; and no Nigeria 7255-. However, at 0730 I was listening to
13755 RNZP, VG with `Melanesian Update` warning about Cyclone Judy
hitting Vanuatu: in some pidgin with plenty of English terms. Earlier
about that, at 0408, Ron Howard recommended to the WOR iog: ``Hi Glenn - Would be a good idea for folks to listen to Radio Vanuatu
(7260 kHz.) over the next 24 hours. Certainly there will be active
coverage about cyclone Judy. https://zoom.earth/storms/judy-2023/
Ron, California`` -- and before that: ``Thanks to alerts from Art Delibert and Ralph Perry today (Feb 27),
Radio Vanuatu (7260) with extended broadcasting, well past normal
closing down time of about 1100* UT! https://www.1news.co.nz/2023/02/27/tropical-cyclone-judy-forms-near-vanuatu/ https://www.vmgd.gov.vu/vmgd/index.php/forecast-division/tropical-cyclone/warning
Tropical Cyclone Warning Number 4 for TORBA, PENAMA, SANMA and
MALAMPA.`` And from Tony Rogers, BDXC-UK: ``I have been listening on the KiwiSDR
in Brisbane, Australia, but it’s interesting to follow the programme
content more clearly on their online stream at
