** BRAZIL. 4804.3, Feb 9 at 0100, JJBBA carrier direct, even weaker
than the Peruvian JBA carriers on 4810, 4820. I`m checking here
because of this report Feb 8: ``I heard a Brazilian last night on 4805
khz. Man and woman with lots of IDs by man as Rádio Difusora do
Amazonas at 0310 UTC on the 8th, lots fading, lost them at 0315, heard
on the PL-880. Ron Trotto, WDX4KWI, Virden, Illinois`` - to which I
replied:
``Wow, that 4805 station in Manáus, ZYF273 with 10/5 kW had been gone
for a long time. Checking some handy WRTHs, was listed in 2016 but not
2021. Glenn`` I had not noticed any carrier around 4805 before, but had not been
seeking one. After 0100, I check all available KiwiSDRs in S America
and some beyond, with zero signs of any carrier circa 4805. Further
research shows Amazonas station was still appearing on active-Brasil
listings in 2017, but s/off time was 0100. The 2016 WRTH gave a website, which still very much exists, for a
station on 96.9 FM, https://difusora24h.com/ and it does appear to be
the successor station. Nothing about 4805 to be found there now, nor
contact info, but I do find some email addresses via social media
sites; inquiry in Brazuguese has bounced twice due to ``mailbox
full``, so will keep trying into weekdays. Meanwhile everyone keep an
ear or remote on 4805v! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 2749 USB, Feb 9 at 0720 UT, marine weather by OM voice.
Again the Canadian Coast Guard site does not show any before 0740,
which is VCO Sydney via Port Caledonia. Ditto dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm
Nothing on 2598 USB now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 11529.9, Feb 9 at 1551, JBA music S5 on signature
off-frequency of pirate Hikari FM, who once claimed to be in Sonora
just across from the SW corner of Arizona. Ron Howard reported: ``Here is the informative email received for my report for Jan 30
remote reception: "Thank you so much for tuning in! Yeah I have recently realized that
having a good connection to ground may not be the best thing. The
grounded case of the transmitter was detuning the dipole hence the
signal strength issues. I have choked the ground connection and isolated the shortwave
transmitter from other equipment so that should be fixed. I also have
a signal on 1620 KHz but I doubt it will ever reach California. I am
experimenting with it and experimenting with transmitter designs. I
think It should be easier to get signal from now on, looks much better
on the SDRs. Sorry I didn't realize this and fix it earlier. I had a
choke on it before but It was not sufficient. The song you heard is Natsu kage or Summer Lights from the TV show AIR
by Lia. One of my favorites. It is not the original version though. I
am not really sure how to translate "kage"(影) into English in the
context of that song. Very Best Regards," Ron, Monterey, Calif.``

P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 12050, Feb 9 at 1553, WEWN already underway in Spanish,
S7/S9 direct. Maybe from as early as 1400 as authorized by FCC? At 1938 check into Bonaire, huge collision with Ndarason. 15610 English still not on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Re my obs under CUBA [non] that WWL is hardly heard on 870,
this from Terry L Krueger: ``Glennnn (please use the donated extra
“n”s for those who don’t add the second “n”): From my uneducated
observations, WWL has never been the same post-Katrina. My current
proximity near Ft Walton Beach, Floriduh allows it to be easily
audible daytime (actually it was audible daytime in the former
Clearwater location as well due to direct water path). But it’s not
nearly the blaster it used to be years ago. Why?`` (Glennn Hauser, OK,
WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Re my JBA carrier on 216 kHz, where the only NDB listed
is CO in COncord NH: It was steady like a real signal rather than a
local birdie, but Feb 9 at 0710 UT I find one on 216.7v, like a birdie
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1951 UT February 9
