Memang 1341z Myanmar is head on 5915 with Chinese songs with -70 db min. in the Himalayas, KSDR, and talks by YL in Bamar. 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.
5985 Myanma radio 1355 is different from the 5915 with man, as like talking a poem with YL nxt to him doing the same but speaking quite fat! -65dbm
5975 BBC in Farsi 1358 with its typical IS with news -6sbm
6050/7240 speaker 1410+ with a long course on the Qing dynasty and the importance of maintaining a balance between happiness and sadness in life, then it continues with various pop and rock songs via Dimanpur KSR.
5050 Beibu Bay 1441 with a lively C-pop song also on Dimapur
5060 Xinjiang PBS 1442 with Music, then YL with talks in Chinese, IDing the station as RTV.

Logs
Note: previous report was misyeared Feb 13, 2023 instead of 2024;
sigh

** CANADA. 300 kHz MCW, Feb 14 at 0746, dash and YIV, 500-watt NDB at
Island Lake, Manitoba, <54N/<95W, JBA vs the still hi local noise
level. First copied as YIW but must have been YIV (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. Wolfgang Bueschel replies to my reports of spy numbers
revived on 9330 vs WBCQ: ``9330.000 even kHz nice most modern Chinese
transmitter looking of BBEF (Beijing Broadcast Equipment Factory)
type, audio signal of S=9+10dB up to +20dB, underneath US religious
private WBCQ, from Cuban Spanish SPY number service, MOST LIKELY via
Made in Chinese tx site RadioCuba Bauta, NOT FROM BEJUCAL - old
ancient USSR 50 kW unit. 07.10 UT on Febr 14. y73 de wolfie df5sx
wwdxc topnews`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** INTERNATIONAL WATERS [non?]. 4251 kHz, Feb 14 at 0732, CW over &
over, nothing but NJDM. Leading up to this log, starting with unID on
odxa iog:

``I copied NJDM being sent repeatedly in morse code on 4251 khz on
2/11/2024 at 0245 utc. Does anyone know where this station is? The
signal was strong and clear into Springfield Ma. USA Jim Bee``

``Good strong signal UTC 0255 Feb 14 Grand Rapids MI. I'm also
clueless as to what it is for. 73 Jack NY8D Amelar``

``Also easy copy on my little Tecsun in the living room on its
built-in whip! Mayne Island, BC. Steve VE7SL McDonald`` at 0304 Feb
14.

Don Moman, Feb 14: ``it was loud in Alberta at 0400 but went off
before recheck at 0420``

``N+3 letters implies a US Navy vessel - however I`ve searched a
number of such callsign lists and not found it; new one? 73, Glenn
Hauser``

``USS Jason Dunham DDG-109 (helis.com)

https://www.helis.com/database/unit/1961-USS-Jason-Dunham/#google_vignette
David Ross``

Illustrated and indicating it is not new. But why these transmissions,
and where be it parked? I notice that in this and many other cases,
the callsigns try to match letters in the ship`s name. Broad search on
call leads to lots of irrelevant New Jersey hits (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.016, Feb 14 at 2343 tune-in via UTwente, VOT S9+45 in
music. Missed most of the broadcast and all of simulSpain while
dealing with an internet outage. Nothing but more music till 2354
s/off for the 1330 only; 6 notes of IS before chopoff, no finesse,
uncovering XJRTV in Chinese, only S9/+5, std genocidal denunciations
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2229 monitoring: confirmed UT
Wednesday February 14 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S6/S7 but good into
Missouri SDR.

Also confirmed Wednesday February 14 at 1518 the secret 1500 on WRMI
9955, during the NZ birdsong clip, S5/S7 direct, no jamming audible.

Also confirmed Wednesday February 14 at 2053 the 2030 on SW Radio,
Germany, 3975.002, S9+5/10 into UTwente; followed at 2059 by `CQ
Parade` jingle and SW Radio ID, 2100 rock music show.

Also confirmed Wednesday February 14 at 2200 on WBCQ 7490, S9/+10 into
Maryland SDR. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
0230 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975

As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated. Thanks this
week to our friend Frank in Stockton, lower Alabama for some cash and
says ``Dear Mr Hauser, Thank you for your program. Shortwave has been
a source of great enjoyment and education for me. Greetings and best
wishes``, preferably by MO or check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, PO
Box 1684, Enid OK 73702.

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to:
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (101.5), Wed Feb 14 from 0700 UT, webcast of KSFR Santa Fe
NM, one of my favorite stations, starts `The Third Floor`, vocal,
choral music, sacred and secular, I enjoy but too late. KSFR info:

``Wednesdays Midnight-2:00 am [MST] Bill Cromwell is your host and
listening companion for two hours of Vocal and Choral Classical
Repertoire each week on The Third Floor Presents. Enjoy motets,
masses, cantatas, choruses, lieder, arias, songs, and more from around
the world and across the centuries. For more The Third Floor Presents,
visit https://classicalthirdfloor.org
That also leads to audibility on demand; out of Fort Loudon, PA:

https://exchange.prx.org/series/44990-the-third-floor-presents-vocal-choral-classical-mu

Provenance of title remains a mystery. I previously reported about
this show when it was on KUCO, which did not last long: see under
OKLAHOMA:
https://www.w4uvh.net/ghlogs_2022_1208_1214.txt

A few minutes into it this week on KSFR stream, jarringly interrupted
by a few seconds of African? drumming, automation screwup? It also
keeps cutting short the closing announcement of the preceding show
`Map Is Not Territory`. I have notified The Invisible Man, Mark
Kuechle about this. I guess he is voice-tracking, not really `live`
there, altho I think he is really at KSFR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Logs
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.003, Feb 13 at 2318 VOT English S9+40 into
UTwente, CCCCCCI underaudible especially at pauses. `That`s Why`
repeat about learning more than one foreign language, voiced by the
badax. 2325 `Weekly Commentary` penned by a Fulbright Scholar --
Hussein? -- read by the badax, maybe half the words understood, about
Tucker Carlson`s interview of Putin, Ukraine situation. 2337 `Turkey`s
Geomarked [sic] Products`, some hot dessert with cheese ingredient.
2340 musix. 2353 s/off for 1330 broadcast only. 2353.6 IS starts. 2356
restart IS with German IDs. 2357.5* chopoff uncovering XJRTV, std
denunciations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Logs
** FRANCE. 6190-6195-6200, Feb 12 at 0749, S9+35 DRM noise, so TDF
still active at 0730-0800 before QSY to 6000-6005-6010 at 0800 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Feb 12 at 2307, token English from SNR, good S9+40
direct, enough to overcome HLNL unlike 5960 Turkey. Feature is
interview about the ``migrant crisis``, with 7K already showing up
into the Canaries this year, causing the insular government to
``collapse``, calling for moving them on ASAP to roomier Peninsular
Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.005, Sun Feb 11 at 2336, VOT not off the air during
`Letterbox`, mail after mail from India, then Italy, Belarus`, Spain.
Has to prompt to include postal address for QSL as no eQSLs. Until
2344.4, so widening further the possible showspan. He loves us, back
next week. Then song, not theme. Was no signal yet just before 2300,
but VG now, S9+30/35 into UTwente, good mod, no squeal. 2351
multi-lingual ID filler reel.

2353 s/off only for the 1330 on 13635. That`s the first English
broadcast each day and they replay it over and over. Someone should
inform the announcer/operator about all the repeats. 2354 IS, 2356
restart IS with German IDs. 2400 timesignal and s/on as one of the two
earlier real German outsendings. Many familiar segment themes, same as
in English service. Circa 2450 finally chops off, uncovering XJRTV
East Turkistan, std denunciations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.005, Feb 12 at 2310, JBA direct vs line noise level
ranging from S9+10 to +20 all over the LW & SW bands. VOT English VG
into UTwente S9+30/35 when measured at 2335, ``always-by-your-side``
promo and ``That`s Why` on the ``art of learning a foreign language``
voiced by, who else, the badax. Says this feature is a translation
from original Turkish; which is likely the case for most segments,
unless originally in English such as a commentary or analysis by a
Westerner. Over already at 2339, ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, music,
2344 ``w-y-e-h`` again, more music. 2349 one of those yet again,
music. 2352 *again*, what crutches! and s/off of 1330 only; chopoff at
2353* before any IS, uncovering the undercurrent of the understation,
XJRTV in Chinese from the other land of genocide, imperialist
ChiCom-controled East Turkistan. Note: I am not avoiding the issue of
Israeli genocide, but no SW broadcasts from there. As usual, it`s
necessary to retune UTwente, or step back-and-forth 5 kHz to get it to
display the new exact frequency which in this case is always much
closer to .000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1590, Feb 13 at 0140 UT, rather urgent talk in Russian, not
Ukrainian. The only likely possibility is WCGO Evanston IL, which per
Wikipedia does have Russian on weekday afternoons. Via tunein.com,
reaching own website, which includes a ``1950 AM`` blunder, Radio NVC
| Радио Народная Волна Чикаго | Northbrook, IL ...
https://www.radionvc.com
shows on into the evening tomorrow but won`t display now Feb 12 CST as
my computer is on UT: ``НОВОСТИ - СВОБОДА Tue, Feb 13 - Wed, Feb 14,
2024 7:00pm-12:00pm``. At 0146 could be a commercial in Russian;
however by 0230 the same semi-dominant signal is carrying songs in
Spanish. I find the webstream, http://ice23.securenetsystems.net/WCGO
and indeed it`s Spanish now as ``Ambiente Clásico`` as I already
logged direct some months ago. It sure would be nice to see an
accurate program/language full WCGO schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2229 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
February 11 at 2100.5 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S8/S9 into
UTwente, no CCI. Following 2057 vamp music, 2100 ID.

Also confirmed Sunday February 11 at 2256 the 2230 on SW Radio,
Germany, 3975.002, S8/S9 into UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Monday February 12 at 0043 the 0030 on WRMI 7780,
S7/S9 into Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday February 12 from 0401.3 on Area 51 via WBCQ
6159.93, S9/+5 into NH SDR, fortunately almost over by 0430 when
severe ACI hits from Russian on 6165: that`s NHK via Nauen, Germany at
0430-0450 only. HFCC shows that`s 125 kW at 85 degrees, so why such a
bigsig way over here?

Missed checking Mon Feb 12 at 0930 on SW Radio, Germany day frequency
6160, since I`m always ZZZ. Anyone hear it?

Also confirmed Monday February 12 from 2031.3 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.002, S9+10/15 into UTwente, as preceding ADDX show in German runs
slightly over, mentioning Bryan Clark [NZ]. Next:

0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW
1400 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]
0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1200 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB or 3210-USB
1230 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB or 3210-USB
[previous #2228][SW suspended but still streamed?]
1500 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [unsked but reconfirmed every 2024 week]
2030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW,
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
0230 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975

As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated. Thanks this
week to our friend Frank in Stockton, lower Alabama for some cash and
says ``Dear Mr Hauser, Thank you for your program. Shortwave has been
a source of great enjoyment and education for me. Greetings and best
wishes``, preferably by MO or check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, PO
Box 1684, Enid OK 73702.

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to:
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Feb 12 at 0751, song at S8, R. Vanuatu reactivated
after missing a couple nights as Manuel Méndez also notes; and Ron
Howard found it on no known frequency Feb 11 at 0705 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4750, Feb 12 at 0743, as I happen to be starting a 60mb
bandscan, rapid Morse code CODAR alfanumeric ID fires; unprepared, did
not copy it, but probably same one previously traced in this area; and
should be audible over entire swirsh-range, not just on 4750; anyway,
reconfirms time as :43 past the hours, and believed to be
icosaminutely also at :03 and :23 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5051.0, Feb 12 at 0745 carrier, seems to be constant,
also as het to 5050 earlier when WRMI Legends is on. Others hearing
it? A utility protest objector? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
