Logs
** CUBA. 11760, Jan 5 at 0448, RHC S9+20/30 and achieving VG
modulation! It can be done; could be start of a new year trend?
Reluctant to be that optimistic. In Spanish starting segment on artes
y cultura. Something`s not always wrong at RHC. The Other Side:

``Poverty, a lack of medicine and agony: a portrait of a Cuban family
The story of Carlos, Daimara and their children is one of the
increasingly common ones that can be found among the ruins of Havana,
in which poverty is a threat to life itself -- Alberto Martínez La
Habana 02 Ene 2024 - 19:07 CET

Carlos is 41 years old and is going blind. This father lives with his
three young children and his wife, Daimara, in extremely precarious
housing in Central Havana, one of the most populous municipalities in
the Cuban capital. His mother-in-law passed away almost three months
ago, after a long ordeal that included dementia...``
https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1704218873_51952.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 15125, Jan 5 at 1644, pop song and talk, S5/S7 but best
extracontinental signal on distressingly mostly vacant 19m band: it`s
CRI relay in Arabic this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, Jan 5 at 1631, still a JBA signal here, no
doubt pirate Hikari FM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 341 MCW kHz, Jan 5 at 0435 UT, local NDB, EI,
has trace of QRM from another 341. Used to be relatively common to
hear it mixing with OIN, 25 W, OberlIN KS, or the other next-closest
one, DNI, 25 W, Sherman-DeNIson TX (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Jan 6 at 2300, token English from SNR, S9+30
direct, first feature to be interview about the 2000 Camp David
accords vs current Palestinian situation; into that by 2305, and RSA
charges Israel with genocide at ICOJ, which the speaker says does not
amount to genocide. 2314-2317 Beirut correspondent on Lebanon`s
concerns about the war widening - her pieces are always no more than
two sesquiminutes long. 2317 contact info recorded by the retired
Justin Coe; then about Epiphany = 3 Magos holiday imminent in Spain
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SWAZILAND. 11660, Fri Jan 5 at 1632, HOA song with strumming,
S2/S4. EiBi shows TWR Ethiopian service, different languages depending
on DOW: Oromo, Amharic; and KAM on Fri: Kambaata, spoken by 600K.
Total span is 1630-1800 M-F, 1630-1730 Sat, 1630-1845 Sun (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 5 at 2301, VOT not off the air, S9+20/30 direct
but hardly solid with fading and noise, much inferior to simulSpain on
9690. Next check at 2355 into Maryland SDR, too late, already off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2224 monitoring: missed check Fri
Jan 5 at 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia 1323; anyone hear it?

Confirmed first SW broadcast, Friday January 5 at 2300 on WRMI 9955,

As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated. Thanks this
week to Chris Krug, KC5IIE, Tulsa OK, for a contribution via PayPal,
in US funds but not necessarily, to woradio at yahoo.com and says, ``I
very much appreciate all the hard work and dedication, Glenn! SWL is
alive and well thanks to your efforts. Happy 2024!``

One may also contribute via MO or check on a US bank to:
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3215, Jan 5 at 0446, pleased to observe that WWCR-1
transmitter has finally been fixed, with normal good modulation in
discussion of drone rules.

15825, Jan 5 at 1630, daytime WWCR-1 is also back to normal mod,
S9+20/30. Something`s no longer abnormal at Nashville. Presumably will
also apply to transition frequency 6115? Yes, at 2343 check into
Maryland SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search January 5 at
0439-0443: 693?, 774-2, 891-2, 1107, 1521, 1566.

Two carriers beating on 891 is very unusual; normally only the biggie
300/100 kW from Algeria. What else could it be? By power, hours and
geography, per MWlist, nothing at all significant in Europe; 2 x 50 kW
in Iran; 100 kW in Ethiopia; 100 kW in Turkey would be more likely.
The beat timed at 140/minute = 2.33 Hz. MWoffsets show Algeria on
890.9982 as of 3 months ago, so the other would be on 891.0005 or
890.9959. Nothing near the higher one in range. Closest to the lower
one would be Ethiopia on 890.9965 as of 2022-02-20.

1566 is surely TWR Benin, Parakou, 100 kW, as there is nothing else of
any significant power in Eurafrica or ME. I`ve detected it before, but
not lately tho have always been alert for it in my 9/kHz bandscans
around this hour. It`s often reported from as far as southwest Canada

Logs
** CANADA. 346 MCW kHz, Jan 4 at 0755, dash and YXL, the only beacon
barely overcoming noise level, 500 watts from Sioux Lookout, Ontario.
Where is it? ``Sioux Lookout is a town in Northwestern Ontario,
Canada. Located approximately 350 km (220 mi) northwest of Thunder
Bay, it has a population of 5,272 people ...`` i.e. more than halfway
to Manitoba border, NE of Dryden and north of Hwy 17, roughly 50 N/92
W (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 28174 CW, re my Jan 3 log: ``Hi Glenn! Perhaps you
mis-typed the callsign into the QRZ.com search box. See
https://www.qrz.com/db/VE1VDM
73, Steve Howe, Saint Albans, VT`` - Tnx, you`re right, viz.:

``VE1VDM Canada flag Canada, Vernon Matheson, 189 Kaulback St., Apt
401, Truro, NS B2N0B6, Canada --- Current operating status:
VE1VDM/B 10m beacon at 10 watts on 28.174 mhz. TX is a AA7DJ 10 meter
beacon and the antenna is a 10m dipole approximately 35' AGL -
Location FN85ij``

And Steve replies again: ``Glenn, Happy to help! Vernon Matheson is
one of the most experienced LW beacon hunters in our ndblist.groups.io
group. His newer beacon, VA1VM, on 28,177 kHz, has recently been heard
in Italy by William Buchanan, one of our group’s 10m beacon hunters..
You might find Buchanan’s beacon list at
https://listof10mbeacon.blogspot.com/ useful. 73, Steve`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 660 kHz, re my XEFZ log, from Tim Hall, IRCA Mexican Log
editor: ``Thanks for reporting this, Glenn. It just dawned on me that
the ABC Deportes format was 24h when it was on 570, so I should have
realized that the 24h schedule would probably continue when the format
moved to 660. This raises another question: since the ABC Noticias
format moved from 660 to 1310 as part of the same format shuffle, I
wonder if the 1310 ended up being 1200-0600 (as it had been on 660, at
least at some point in the past), or if 1310 might be 24h by now. I
need to check that before next year's Log comes out. 73 Tim`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

WORLD OF RADIO 2223 monitoring: NOT confirmed UT Thursday January 4 at
0130 on WRMI 9395 - instead, continuous classic-rock such as ``Bridge
Over Troubled Waters``, or hard-rock music, segués with no pauses, no
announcements at all; perhaps as prélude to starting a week or more
later the thing now occupying this slot on the System G gray
skedgrid:

`Victory Above Only` --- Strange name for a program; nothing about in
on the WRMI Programming page, but broad websearch finds it right away:
https://victoryaboveonlyministries.org/index.html
which leads to involvement in Radio Africa Network, WRMI et al.
At 0200, 9395 joins in `WRMI Legends` as announced and gridded but
this segment for 15 minutes only, other stuff at 0215; and:

Confirmed UT Thursday June 4 at 0245, the 0230 WOR 2223 still on WRMI
9395, good direct.

Not confirmed Thursday June 4 at 1520 the alleged 1500 on WRMI 9955,
still music fill? instead as thruout December. System B sked still
shows WOR and not when we encountered us by chance and repeatedly, 24
hours earlier at 1500 Wednesdays.

this would be a serious problem for WRNO 7505 if it happened to be on.
Like what I logged before: ``UNIDENTIFIED. 7467-7520 approx., Oct 31
at 0658, multiple tones / carriers beating against each other, what?
Peaks circa 7486 at S9+25. These would blow away WBCQ if it were on
