** CLIPPERTON. 18132 USB, Jan 26 at 2316, TX5S found immediately, tuning first to nominal 18130, making a VE6 contact, 59 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EGYPT. 9440v, Jan 26 at 2126 & 2159 chex of UTWente, NO signal from R. Cairo in English. Something`s always amiss at Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN [and non]. 9690, Jan 26 at 2300, token English from SNR, VG direct starting with accurate timesignal. No news this time. Subject is Ecuador, from a tourism-promotion event in Málaga, presented by an announcer who says Ecuador is her home country; is that Quintana? Also heard a Fernandina mentioned later, not sure if she were an interviewee among many, about many different topix with some Andean music; such as café, 2321 mariposas. Worth hearing the podcast if they get around to loading it, to be dated 27/01: https://www.rtve.es/play/audios/english-language-broadcast/ or should be repeated on webcast only after SW be off, at 0300 Sat. Also into UTwente at 2320, marred by heavy OTHR clatter extending from 9690 to 9710 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 26 at 2327 NO signal direct from VOT English, just a noise blob probably local. UTwente at 2332, no signal either, just Chinese. I finally check 9610.003 and there it is! VG S9+27 during music. Another instance of failing to change transmitter frequency after the 2130 English hour be over, supposedly aimed 105 degrees toward SE Asia. 2336 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, and `That`s Why` voiced by the badax so I can barely make out that the subject is hobbies. 2341 music, 2345 ``a-b-y-s`` again already, music. 2349 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2351 music. 2354 s/off for the 1330 on 13635 only: something`s awry at Ankara. 2355 IS, 2356 restart IS with German IDs twice a minute. 2400 timesignal 4 seconds late, as received, s/on German, news, etc., 2420 still going with music, 2425 another feature. So this time something`s doubly erroneous at Emirler, zzz: wrong frequency and German would not supposed to be on, even if frequency were right. China also listed on 9610 but Beijing site in Mongolian, and totally overcome by TRT. Finally cuts off at 2431*, uncovering nothing but an S7 JBA trace of China? on 9610.001 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1218.1 kHz, Jan 26 at 0735 UT, JBA carrier hetting 1220.0 stack. This time I try to DF it with the adjacent DX-398, but cannot get a null on it. May well be something local or even internal to the NRD. Next time I should turn that off and see if it`s still audible on the DX-398; also, in daytime? Not so far. And it seems no one else has heard it. But if anyone does detect it, even unID, do let us know. And try to DF it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0116 UT January 27
