** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Feb 17 at 2300 and earlier, no advance
publicity about an LRA36 broadcast this Saturday, but I check anyway.
Argentine remotes are tied up but I get into a Brazilian, indeed no
signal past 2300. But I must have squelched too much, since
de-squelched at 2315, there it is in Spanish vs lots of lightning
static - yet Blitzortung shows a blank continent except for one tiny
spot in the western Amazon and another south of Panamá. 2318 into
music, but soon more talk. Argentine remote then with less lightning
but more line noise static. Still going past 2400. Walt Salmaniw was
getting it direct in BC measured down to 15475.975 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. ``Daytime`` RHC frequency 15140 still on at 0437 Feb 17,
S8/9+5 into KFS ND with jazz, // 11760, 0438 Spanish announcement.
SAWA. 0447 music stops abruptly, and carrier off a few sex later. Tnx
to this tip two sesquihours earlier from BC on the WOR iog: ``RHC is
coming in here on the west coast of Canada on 15140 at 0130 UT in
Spanish with a very good signal, almost too good to be them! They are
airing a news show with stories about Chile and North Korea. Something
must be wrong at Radio Cuba -- audio is too good to be them. Tony
Pavick`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUYANA [and non]. 24945 USB, Feb 17 at 1937, XE1TD uttering his
call from time to time, doesn`t say what for! Amid pileup. Must be
something important just below, like a DXpedition. Yes, per dxheat.com
that would be 8R7X in Guyana, and I do have a JBA signal on 24940.

** OKLAHOMA. 27185 AM, Feb 17 at 1930 UT, praise music, and 1932
``another positive song will change your day``: again some local Enid
CBer relaying an FM station, but I don`t have an FM radio handy to
make a match. Steady S9+20 generally atop the pileup except for one
strong interruptor. Still going at 2031 when I do make a match on the
ATS909 tuned to 105.5 and the D-808 on 27185. I.e., relaying K288FX
which relays KYLV 88.9 on the so-called `K-Love` network (Glenn

** TURKEY. 5960.005, Feb 17 at 2300, VOT English not off the air,
S9+40/50 into UTwente, s/on as the 1330 broadcast for Feb 17, news.
2310 `The Energy Agenda` about The Sun and what Turkey is spending.
[Then checking LRA36]. After 2330 mostly music including unusual hard
rock until 2337 switch to a softer pop tune. 2353 s/off, 2354 IS.
CCCCCCI audible during pause, 2356 restart IS but chopoff before
German IDs can begin, totally uncovering XJRTV, std denunciations

** U S A. 8992 et al., re Skyking messages among EAMs, not heard in
years: ``USA/HFGCS I haven't heard a Sky King message since Kirby
Grant passed away (Chuck Albertson, Seattle, Wash.)``

``Kirby Grant Movie actor --- born Kirby Grant Hoon Jr., was a

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Feb 16 at 2310, token English from SNR, VG
S9+30/40 into Maryland SDR. Feature is interview about/with flamenco
guitarist (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 9610.004, Fri Feb 16 at 2221 I try the 2130+
English broadcast, S9/+15 into UTwente, not the bigsig it gets after
2300 on 5960 since 9610 is aimed away toward S Asia; but with heavy
SAH of 6 or 7 Hz - I estimate that range by counting rapidly
1-2-3-4-5-6-7 over and over as I watch the seconds tick by on my
watch. This must come from CNR8 Mongolian program via Beijing site,
nothing else now scheduled. S/off of English is underway, seems like
long version with all-wrong times, but hard to copy. 2226 IS is still
running now with IDs in Italian, ``Qui la Voce della Turchia`` -- or
are they saying ``Tuerkiye``? They sound so much alike. 2230 continues
Italian, but hard to copy with almost equal signal from China, both
mostly music. Like German after 0000 and Portuguese after 0100 on
5960, Italian at 2230 is mistaken overrun, not on B23 schedule where
the only Italian is supposed to be at 0930! Same SAH situation at 2300
when I expect English to overrun on 9610 instead of 5960, but
switching to 5960 I do find it on with VG S9+30/40 signal into UTwente
opening English; retune immediately back to 9610, now I hear CNR8
only, so TRT must have QSYed at the same time I did. Or on this date
not really same Emirler transmitter, where something is always
erroneous.

As for the 5960.005 broadcast, I have to split time with SPAIN and
WOR/WRMI check. 2320 `WYEH` promo, music. 2324 `Weekly Analysis` on
relations with Egypt improving since the coup there in 2013y. Erdogan
and large delegation now visiting Cairo. I cannot catch the name of
the writer even tho it`s not the badax reading it. 2329 `WYEH` promo
again, music. 2333 `Folk/Fairy Tales` about the sister of seven
brothers. 2339 music. 2343 `ABYS` promo, music. 2346 `WYEH` promo yet
again, what crutches, music. 2351 `ABYS` again and s/off the version
with all times wrong in local yet called UTC; something`s always awry
at Ankara. Not noted IS and cutoff time, but not on after 0000, just
East Turkistan, standard denunciations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

ID is never used more than once?

Feb CIDX Messenger Utility column by Gilles Letourneau informs:
``HF Global Command (HFGCS) 4724, 8992, 11175 and 15016 kHz USB ---
One common use for the HFGCS is to place telephone calls from the
aircraft in flight [...] The HFGCS also carries Emergency Action
Messages (EAMs).

In addition to EAMs, the HFGCS carries a few other types of messages.
A higher priority code for orders is a Skyking Message, which is a
time sensitive message for orders that need immediate attention. Force
Direction Messages (FDM's) are also sent through the HFGCS, although
it is impossible to tell whether the message is an FDM or just another
EAM being read.

Although transmissions are often single sideband (SSB), the use of the
ALE transmission mode is more and more common. HFGCS complements the
use of satellite communications between aircraft and ground stations.

If you hear echo on the frequency you’re listening to, it is due to
the signal often being transmitted over several stations at the same
time.`` I have not happened upon a Skyking Message in many years

If I were less involved, I would think this could be another Chinese outlet. ON 1351 YL spoken in Chinese ending [?]
The program 1355 resumed hearing a Chinese song.
