** CUBA [and non]. 870, Feb 12 at 0734 UT, wobbler vs very little
signal from WWL, which if at full 50 kW blast would easily overcome
it, like WHO can on 1040 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 970, Feb 12 at 0736 UT, break in Mexmx at tune-in, ``Usted
y La Jota Mejicana, 9-70``, i.e. XEJ, Ciudad Juárez. The usual one on
970 rather that flagship of R. Fórmula, XERFR CDMX which is twice as
far. Note to editors: please do not ``correct`` my spelling. Mexico
with a J is an alternative, and certainly fits with branding of this
station (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Feb 12 at 2257, into Maryland SDR: 12030 off, 9690
S9+15/25, 17715 S5/S7, 17755 inaudible; 2300 token English from SNR,
preview topic to be about World Radio Day = Feb 13, the 1946 date when
UN Radio began. Interview about that starts after the news at 2305.
With Javier Sánchez, Spain`s rep to World DAB+ organisation. Radio
survived the advent of color TV, new challenges now, how can it remain
relevant? Radios are hard to find in new cars, but they do have
screens. FM doesn`t cut it, nor plain DAB. Now DAB+ provides stuff to
see on screens, like artists and song titles, emergency info.
(Strangely, no interest in USA for DAB/+ and guess what, RDS on plain
old FM can also provide text info.) Unfortunately, at 2313, DOUBLE AUDIO starts, equal level about 3 words
apart!!! I`m still listening via Maryland SDR, its fault? NO! Same
thing direct, and on 17715. Tuneout, unlistenable! Something`s messed
up in Madrid, or nonsensical at Noblejas. Spot check at 2320, still
so; and at 2325 when the separation seems more than three words, but
back to single audio in wrapup after interview. What am embarrassment
for them. I wonder how the podcast will sound/resound (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) ** U S A. 407 MCW kHz, Feb 12 at 0729 UT, no signal from HRU, ND
beacon which used to be regular, day and night; had not been hearing
it for a few weeks, off? 25 watts at HeRington KS; RNA list says last
logged: 2024-12-29. Distance: 266 km = 165 stmi (Glenn Hauser, Enid
OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2281 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.
WRMI, USA, World of Radio #2281, 9395 kHz, below S7 signal, changeable
reception, 0030, 0042, 0059, (45343), February 12 UTC 2025 [Wed]
(Lemke, Richard -AB)`` Confirmed UT Wednesday February 12 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+20/30 into
Georgia SDR. Also confirmed UT Wednesday February 12 from 0031 on SW Radio,
Germany, 3975.003+, S8/S9 into UTwente. Also confirmed Wednesday February 12 at 2031 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.002+, S7/S9 into UTwente. Also confirmed Wednesday February 12 at 2200 on WBCQ, 7490 -74 Hz =
7489.926, S7/9+5 into Maryland SDR. Next: 2030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; Thanks this week to Mike Gorniak, NM7X, Minnesota, for a contribution
via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com, and says, ``Happy New Year and
Thanks, Glenn! 73, Mike Gorniak`` One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser,
P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Unheard on Feb 11, nor earlier on UT Feb 12, but by 0708
I have mystery carrier weakly about 810.56. This time I try to DF it
with the D808, and get roughly 100/280 degrees, i.e. slightly
clockwise from E/W - that would eliminate Latin America, Bahamas, but
inside US or possibly West Africa, SW Pacific. Did anyone else get a
bearing on it? Someone suggested it could be Tokyo, but that would be pretty far off
my DF. And at 17 UT, Tokyo SDR has FEN right on frequency. In next few
minutes I check several SDRs in SC, GA, AL, MS and TN, and if any
signal on 810, none way off. My initial log of this at 0440 UT Feb 10,
would be too early for anything from E Asia or Pacific. This not
necessarily would have to come from any known 810 station (Glenn
Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0016 UT February 12
