** BRAZIL [non?]. 4804.23 approx., Feb 11 at 0027, JBA carrier direct
but unstable. By 0255 it`s about 4804.37. Could be local birdie.
Following up report of ZYF273 reactivated on 4805:

Feb 9 at 2119: ``Dear Glenn. I've researched in many ways at 4805 AM,
Rádio Difusora do Amazonas (former Rádio Difusora de Manáus) and found
nothing about its reactivation by the Tropical Band. It is active in
FM 96.9 MHz. I will continue to research about it! Yours sincerely,
José Ronaldo Xavier, Cabedelo-PB, Brazil``

Feb 9 at 2143: ``Glenn, Brazil often comes in well into Masset. I
checked 4805 last night and not even a carrier was seen. Walt
Salmaniw, BC``

Feb 10 at 0059: ``I tried also all I got was a low carrier like
something was their but was not making it. ron trotto-wdx4kwi, virden
Illinois, Tecsun pl-880, grundig sat 750, sangean ats 909x`` Ron was
the only one who reported it originally.

Mon Feb 10: Possibly a one-off test? My email to the 96.9 successor
still bouncing as ``mailbox full`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 17765-17770-17775, Feb 10 at 0503, DRM noise at S9+10/20.
EiBi shows CNR1 from site d = Dongfang, Hainan, at 0100-0900. And it
isn`t even a jammer! SOH should go on there to keep it company. Also
several mostly JBA carriers all correlating with China: 17510, 17550,
17595, 17740, 17840, 17855, 17890; also 18900, 18970; but nothing on
21 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 1040, Feb 10 at 0749 UT, wobbler under WHO, but not
vs 870 WWL at the moment. Presumably the only listed, R. Mayabeque,
Güines, 10 kW. I guess at local range it`s a huge loss, no program
modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Feb 10 at 0443, RHC making a comeback, English
S9+30/40, modulation not very bad with some hum, but YL accent hard to
understand. Now to find whether `The Mailbag Show` survive, sked
before circa 0045, 0245, 0445 UT Mondays; 0030, 0230, 0430 UT
Thursdays; time was always quite variable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 7335, Feb 10 at 0451, pulse jamming against nothing since R.
Martí is not there but 7355 & 7435, both of which bear some different
JBA clickery, jamming or defect? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ETHIOPIA. 6090, Feb 10 at 0445, algo JBA, probably Amhara State
Radio, a bit late and should be better circa *0300. Nothing now on
6110, the other Ethiopian, Fana, both the only ones listed at these
hours by EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11525, Feb 10 at 0458, S8/9+10 of talk in unID
language. EiBi shows nothing but Dengê Gel via ARMENIA and Turkish
jammer after 0400. Both of them jumparound in the 11.5s, often not on
same frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 800, Feb 10 at 0754, XEERG, for the record, *still* extreme
distortion QRMing KQCV OKC. I first reported this on Sept 17, 2024! as
unID, soon traced to XEERG Ojo de Agua, NL, as I explained then in
great detail (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 17675, Feb 10 at 0501, RNZP with NZ news,
finally VG again, S9+10/20, the SSOB rivaled only by S9+10/20 of DRM
on 17765-17770-17775. Surprisingly several other sigs on 16m, see
CHINA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN [and non]. 12030, Mon Feb 10 at 2300, NO signal of token
English from SNR, on beam to ME, off the back direct to here, to
Maryland SDR, nor to UTwente. Something`s neglected at Noblejas. 9690
for NAm is VG however, news lead about anniversary of a farmers`
revolt against EU restrixions. 17715 for SAm maybe JBA, not 17755 for
Africa but could still be on. Note: Some editors refuse to include a
NON-log such as this, in frequency order, altho that is the newsworthy
aspect of it, a transmission missing which is supposed to be on!
Strong Spanish however could be heard on 12050 from WEWN (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7290 AM, Feb 10 until 0449*, QSO between W5JKO and W4KYZ,
discussing lack of ``nocturnal emissions`` on 160 and 75 [sic] meters,
apparently during blackout, tho had heard `TimTron`. QRZ.com shows
``W4KYZ USA flag USA, Richard A Coyne, 2038 Fawnridge Ct, The
Villages, FL 32162`` but no W5JKO, wrong call? ARRL shows:
``HENNINGTON JR, MELVIN B, N5MH, 1100 S LAKE CLAIBORNE RD, PORT
GIBSON, MS 391504320, Previous call sign: W5JKO, Issue Date:

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2281 monitoring: Also confirmed
Sunday February 9 at 2022 the 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.998,
S9 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Sunday February 9 after 2100 on WRN Europe webcast.

Also confirmed Sunday February 9 at 2257 the 2230 on SW Radio,
Germany, 3975.003+, S8/S9 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Sunday February 9 at 2330 on WRMI 7570, S9+30/45 into S
Texas SDR; ALSO still simul on WRMI 7780, S9+20/35 into same. Would
expect 7780 to be stronger there, closer to SW azimuth.

Also confirmed UT Monday February 10 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9+35/40
into S Texas SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday February 10 until ending at 0526 UT on Area
51 webcast only the nominal 0400, so must have started very late at
0457. The non-JL show before 0400 kept on going, but 5130 chopped off
at 0403*. Apparently he wanted and got an extra hour; unknown if this
will continue; alternate weeks?

Also confirmed Monday February 10 at 2031 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.003-, S8/S9 into UTwente. Next:

** U S A. 9395, Feb 10 at 0454, WRMI with beepery, presumably during
`OTH Radio` show, sked from 0400 UT Mondays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4840, Feb 10 at 0712, S9+30/35 of dead air from WWCR-3
instead of TOMBS, tsk2. Wonder how many hours this lasted, sked M-F
0600-1130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 660, Feb 10 at 0735 UT, C&W music, soon ID as KTNN Window
Rock and two other towns in rotation. First noted circa 0441 when it
was louder than neighbors WSM & WSCR. Obviously another night failing
to go DA away from NYC, and me (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810.578, Feb 10 at 0440 UT, het upon 810 WHB. No 9/kHz
TA carriers audible now. Still there Feb 10 at 0735 UT measured 810.56
estimate on other receiver. Of course, nothing in mwoffsets this far
off. Not tried to DF it yet. Not there in daytime, 1940 check. Replies
in IRCA and ABDX to an advance post of this:

Sometimes there's "wobbling" on 810 a la 870. That's not so good for
Bahamas either. One way to investigate the source would be checking
various online SDRs - FL, LA, TX etc. - and see who's getting it. Mark
Connelly, WA1ION | South Yarmouth, MA, USA | FN41vq``

``I had this signal back in October at my Nevada-Utah border
DXpedition. It varied from about 810.46 to 810.555, and was present on
at least 4 of my wires, ranging from ENE (Montreal) to SE
(Argentina).  So far I haven't noticed it on recordings after about
1000 UT; so could Puerto Rico be a possibility? Sunrise in Puerto Rico
would have been around 1015 UT back then. 73 Tim Hall``

Unheard direct at 0005 UT Feb 11, maybe too early. Still not around
0200, nor into several Latin American and US SDRs. Still not by 0255
direct. Maybe sporadic, since Tim had it a few months ago (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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.``

** U K O G B A N I. 17570-17575-17580, Feb 9 at 1548, DRM noise at S7.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

about 6 minutes into the 0415v, so started circa 0505, S9+20/25 into
reactivated nearby SDR. In turn that followed ~14 minutes of ARRL News

** 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,

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)

beacon at Island Lake, MB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 870, Feb 8 at 0744 UT, wobbler and hardly any
signal from WWL, as often the case, strange. U3 50/50 kW, as the main
870 clear channel station, could be U1, but to avoid wastage over the
Gulf of Mexico! is direxional with null thataway, major lobes favoring
E/W to the north side, and should own 870 at night here (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 9590, Feb 7 at 2304, soft guitar music
with singer, language? S9+20/30 with flutter. Listed is CRI Spanish
via Kashgar. So has Spanish been replaced by music fill only, like
CRI  Portuguese? Still no 13650 of that at sametime via CUBA (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Feb 7 at 2300, token English from SNR VG direct,
S9+30/40, preview to be about photography exhibition - another subject
lacking essential video. 2301.5 news starts with Canary Islands
minor/miner migrants issue reaching agreement to forward them to
peninsula or Ceuta. Ken Zichi monitors Spainglés and reports in great
detail to his MARE Tipsheet then quoted in the WOR iog - so I don`t
have to (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4095, Feb 8 at 0713, sweeps upward and CW ID as DW = Desert

OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2281 monitoring: confirmed Friday
February 7 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/20 direct but undermodulated.

Also confirmed Friday February 7 not starting until 2331 on SW Radio,
Germany, 3975.003-, S7/S9 into UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Saturday February 8 at 0400 on WTWW-2, 5085, VG
direct and S9/+10 into NH SDR, until 0430* and still not on webcast.

I never manage to happen to awaken Sat 0930/1000 to check for WOR as
sked on WRMI 9455; but shortly after 0900 Feb 8, I notice it is
*still* off the air, altho 9455 does funxion at other dayparts. Maybe
WOR on 7730 instead but too weak and too asleep.

Also confirmed Saturday February 8 at 1552 the 1530v on SW Radio,
Germany, 6160.001+, S9+5/10 into UTwente with some ACI from 6165
ChiCom.

Also confirmed Saturday February 8 at 1833 the 1830 on SW Radio,

** U S A [and non]. Pre-`AAAWWW` check of WBCQs, 0045 UT Sat Feb 8
into W1NT New Hampshire SDR: 9330.00 S7/S9 with WLCR; 7490 -71 Hz =
7489.929, no good S5/S7 with usual 7495 ACI; 6160 seems off but
something strong in English on 6155 - nothing in Aoki, but EiBi shows
BBC OMAN at 00-01; 5130 -17 Hz = 5129.983, S7/9+10 with algo; 3265 is
ON +180 Hz, S9+10/15 with FKB, presumably same as 7490. I keep
listening on 3265+ via NH:

0100 `WTO` theme and ``I`ve got transmitters on my transmitters ---
what?`` -- ``in the Democrats` face``. Now confirmed on 3, 5, 7 and 9
but NOT 6160, something else, presumably the usual `Intelligence
Report`. After theme, segué to C&W tune, ``sounds like the radio``
refrain. 0106 old ``The Planet`` liner. 0107 Allan finally speaks,
brings up Angela on phone, presumably still in Fla. 0112
``pentacasting on 5 transmitters`` -- NO, you are not, 6160 with
something else! Says he is in Maine on a maintenance visit, once each
winter; tnx Angela for some sox with copper strands to keep his feet
warm she got at a Dollar store. There was a staff party today. He
found chatGP useful in tackling some tech problem.

0116 QRM from pulsing on the minus side until 0121, rate of about 6
per second; also a continuous noise signal on 3250. Says he bought a
new 1 kW solid state transmitter for his AM 780 station, runs on 120V,
small, only 35/40 pounds compared to old tube transmitters. At 0127 I
notice shift to 3265.106 kHz. 0131 datestamp as 7 Feb YOOLF 2025, from
Studio #1. Now pulses on again from 3260. 0132 takes music request.
0136 playing old liners which are on carts. Pulses now cover 3250/3270
and can`t be avoided by USB tuning. Back to 3265.160. 0138 another
song. 0143 again claims ``pentacasting`` -- NOT, I check again; what
does he know?

0149 refers to ``Demoncrats``, endorses everything Trump and Musk are
doing except Trump should lower his electric bills. 0153 playing
request by Dominic for `Radio Radio` by Elvis Costello. 0156 e-mails,
no time for Free Radio Weekly. Pulsing back to lower side only. Wrapup
at 0200 as 3265 goes to dead air, 5130 to music, 6160 still something
else. At 0201, 3265 JIP Hal Turner until chop at 0209* when the noise
QRM also stops, suspiciously. By 0230, narrower loud noise continues
on 3250, and lesser noise on 3260 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, Feb 7 at 0651, R. Vanuatu reactivated, JBA. Retune
at 0659, slightly too late as already off, and JBA carrier instead on
7260. Ron Howard had just reported:

``Hi Glenn - Have had more correspondence with Warren Robert,
explaining that RV has been silent since Feb 2 through to Feb 7,
at 0520 UT, while monitoring all their frequencies of 2485, 3945,
5040, 7260 and 9960 kHz. He must have then checked on this
situation, as he quickly replied to me, asking for me to now check
9960. Yes, success! Thanked him for getting back on the air. Radio
Vanuatu is now back on the air from 0602+ UT, Feb 7. Listening via
Kiwi SDR remote at Wanganui, NZ. Ron, Monterey, Calif`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15340, Feb 7 at 1612 open carrier with some hum,
flutter, S7/S9 direct and still at 1620. Into UTWente at 1637, JBA S5
carrier. EiBi & Aoki show nothing but CNR1 jammer and Sound of Hope,
but seems something else (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 17435-17460 approx., Feb 7 at 1614, wideband
multi-carriers beating/whining, S6/S7 circa 17450, as often heard for
years, and similar in some other ranges, but what is it? No clues
around these frequencies in UDXF iog or Klingenfuß 2022 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 12050, Feb 6 at 1620, R. Católica Mundial, WEWN, reactivated
in Spanish with hymns, DJ announcements, S6/S8 direct. This was first
reported by Tony Pavick, Hope BC at 0040 UT Feb 6:

``Radio Católica Mundial is back on the air on 12050 kHz. In Spanish
of course. China ACI from 12045 & 12055. They appear to have left the
air sometime between 0045 and 0100 UT``

During my log it`s notable that neighbor WWCR 12160, at a similar
distance, is hugely stronger, inblasting S9+25/30. Nothing yet on
English frequency 15610, which I had heard with open carrier only, no
modulation. Spanish takes priority.

WEWN used to have some lower frequencies at night, but current HFCC
shows only:
12050 14-06 Spanish 155 degrees to CIRAF 11 & 15 with 100 kW;
15610 19-06 English  85 degrees to CIRAF 46 & 47 with 250 kW.

Strangely,  CIRAF 11 & 15 mean Caribbean/Central America, and SE
Brasil, but skipping the rest of S America. 46 & 47 mean W Africa and
central as far as Sudan, Cameroun.

Likely the real spans in each language will be less than possible.
Collisions resume: 12050 at 18-19, R Ndarason International for Chad
from Woofferton, and same 19-20 from Ascension; 12050 also with RFA
Tibetan via Kuwait at 22-23, plus CNR1 jamming of course. 15610
confronts CNR1 jamming and SOH after 2200, until 1600.

Into Bonaire at 1812, only fair Spanish on 12050, maybe trace of RNI
underneath. At 1927, Bonaire busy but SB do Campo, Brasil gets only
RNI Ascension. WEWN is still on, atop RNI into Maryland. No signal on
15610 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2281)

** VANUATU. 5040, Feb 6 before 0700, no signal from R. Vanuatu as
supposedly scheduled now, into several Australian & NZ remotes
checked, nor on 3945, 7260, 9960. And of course no signals direct
either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2281)
