** FRANCE. 6190-6195-6200, Feb 12 at 0749, S9+35 DRM noise, so TDF still active at 0730-0800 before QSY to 6000-6005-6010 at 0800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 9690, Feb 12 at 2307, token English from SNR, good S9+40 direct, enough to overcome HLNL unlike 5960 Turkey. Feature is interview about the ``migrant crisis``, with 7K already showing up into the Canaries this year, causing the insular government to ``collapse``, calling for moving them on ASAP to roomier Peninsular Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960.005, Sun Feb 11 at 2336, VOT not off the air during `Letterbox`, mail after mail from India, then Italy, Belarus`, Spain. Has to prompt to include postal address for QSL as no eQSLs. Until 2344.4, so widening further the possible showspan. He loves us, back next week. Then song, not theme. Was no signal yet just before 2300, but VG now, S9+30/35 into UTwente, good mod, no squeal. 2351 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2353 s/off only for the 1330 on 13635. That`s the first English broadcast each day and they replay it over and over. Someone should inform the announcer/operator about all the repeats. 2354 IS, 2356 restart IS with German IDs. 2400 timesignal and s/on as one of the two earlier real German outsendings. Many familiar segment themes, same as in English service. Circa 2450 finally chops off, uncovering XJRTV East Turkistan, std denunciations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960.005, Feb 12 at 2310, JBA direct vs line noise level ranging from S9+10 to +20 all over the LW & SW bands. VOT English VG into UTwente S9+30/35 when measured at 2335, ``always-by-your-side`` promo and ``That`s Why` on the ``art of learning a foreign language`` voiced by, who else, the badax. Says this feature is a translation from original Turkish; which is likely the case for most segments, unless originally in English such as a commentary or analysis by a Westerner. Over already at 2339, ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, music, 2344 ``w-y-e-h`` again, more music. 2349 one of those yet again, music. 2352 *again*, what crutches! and s/off of 1330 only; chopoff at 2353* before any IS, uncovering the undercurrent of the understation, XJRTV in Chinese from the other land of genocide, imperialist ChiCom-controled East Turkistan. Note: I am not avoiding the issue of Israeli genocide, but no SW broadcasts from there. As usual, it`s necessary to retune UTwente, or step back-and-forth 5 kHz to get it to display the new exact frequency which in this case is always much closer to .000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1590, Feb 13 at 0140 UT, rather urgent talk in Russian, not Ukrainian. The only likely possibility is WCGO Evanston IL, which per Wikipedia does have Russian on weekday afternoons. Via tunein.com, reaching own website, which includes a ``1950 AM`` blunder, Radio NVC | Радио Народная Волна Чикаго | Northbrook, IL ... https://www.radionvc.com shows on into the evening tomorrow but won`t display now Feb 12 CST as my computer is on UT: ``НОВОСТИ - СВОБОДА Tue, Feb 13 - Wed, Feb 14, 2024 7:00pm-12:00pm``. At 0146 could be a commercial in Russian; however by 0230 the same semi-dominant signal is carrying songs in Spanish. I find the webstream, http://ice23.securenetsystems.net/WCGO and indeed it`s Spanish now as ``Ambiente Clásico`` as I already logged direct some months ago. It sure would be nice to see an accurate program/language full WCGO schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2229 monitoring: confirmed Sunday February 11 at 2100.5 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S8/S9 into UTwente, no CCI. Following 2057 vamp music, 2100 ID.

Also confirmed UT Monday February 12 from 0401.3 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.93, S9/+5 into NH SDR, fortunately almost over by 0430 when severe ACI hits from Russian on 6165: that`s NHK via Nauen, Germany at 0430-0450 only. HFCC shows that`s 125 kW at 85 degrees, so why such a bigsig way over here? Missed checking Mon Feb 12 at 0930 on SW Radio, Germany day frequency 6160, since I`m always ZZZ. Anyone hear it? Also confirmed Monday February 12 from 2031.3 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002, S9+10/15 into UTwente, as preceding ADDX show in German runs slightly over, mentioning Bryan Clark [NZ].

Vanuatu reactivated after missing a couple nights as Manuel Méndez also notes; and Ron Howard found it on no known frequency Feb 11 at 0705 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 4750, Feb 12 at 0743, as I happen to be starting a 60mb bandscan, rapid Morse code CODAR alfanumeric ID fires; unprepared, did not copy it, but probably same one previously traced in this area; and should be audible over entire swirsh-range, not just on 4750; anyway, reconfirms time as :43 past the hours, and believed to be icosaminutely also at :03 and :23 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 5051.0, Feb 12 at 0745 carrier, seems to be constant, also as het to 5050 earlier when WRMI Legends is on.
