** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Fri Feb 3 at 1958, another
short-notice test by LRA36, already on with songs, S5/S8 into
Argentine SDR. All 4 RX are tied up with this so I camp at first on
the one tuned to this exact frequency. More rock past hourtop, 2008
finally Morse code and voice s/on, multi-lingual announcement, brief
scripted intro about ham radio = radioafición; something about 1927y,
``la radio viva en la Antártida``; 2011 song; 2012 ``Uniendo Voces``
joint produxion with RAE and a university name I can`t catch. Juan has
two guests both named Alejandro, and Nicola/Nicole? also mentioned as
technician.

2015 contact info; chat about bases. 2029 rock music break. 2033 ``Su
cía`` ID, Radio Nacional with `Panorama Nacional` originating here on
network, M-F 6-7 [later implies in the morning] during January. 2034
about soberanía, RAE produxion. 2035 weather currently on the plus
side, 8.5C, windchill 4.8; winds W 30 gusting to 45 kph, and partly
cloudy. Contact info, two Alejandros, who are updating equipment,
ultimately to use more frequencies on augmented schedule. 2040
interview about veterans. 2057 ID, contacto info. 2058 closing,
modernization to be completed by *next* summer. 2101 songs only keep
playing past 2123. Walt Salmaniw was barely hearing this direct in BC
for first time in a long time; Bruce Churchill finds good reception
via remote in Iceland - which is an all-oceanic trans-Atlantic path. I
continue to know I`m never going to hear it direct again until upgrade
so don`t even try. I guess will be on again Saturday at regular time
1500, maybe 1900 too?

Horacio Nigro, who has been tipping the WOR iog about upcoming LRA36
specials, adds this: ``Evidently the primary adjustment work to the
transmitter has improved low modulation issue.
Today news via Adrian Korol add this additional information:

From Radio Nacional Resistencia they are sending by land a repaired 1
kW Collins HF80 to Base El Palomar and then flying it in a Hercules
aircraft to Antarctic Base Marambio and from there by helicopter to
Esperanza. If everything goes well they will be loading it from the
heliport in the Unimog and we will lower it with the Arcangel San
Gabriel bobcat to the radio with the purpose of leaving that 1 KW
transmitter until next summer when we will have a new solid 10 KW.
Much better reception in Chile and the southern America area reported
today. Horacio Nigro CX3BZ Uruguay``

And Andy Robins adds at 2347 Feb 3: ``Argentine Antarctic ARO Station
on 20 Meters --- LU1ZV at Base Esperanza in Antarctica (the same QTH
as SWBC station LRA36 on 15476 kHz) is fair level on 14282 kHz at 2335
UTC on February 3. Working stations, mostly in the U.S. "by the
numbers" (by the number in their callsigns) and "split," listening
"five up" on 14287 kHz, to alleviate the QRM. 73, Andy Robins KE8TEN,
Kalamazoo, Michigan USA, Icom IC-7300 and ZS6BKW multiband dipole at

** CANADA. Re my DauphiN MB beacon log in last report: ``Glenn, Beacon
DN-224 is not scheduled to be decommissioned until April 20, 2023 as
part of Phase 9, according to the NAV CANADA website. About a dozen
DX’ers heard it this past weekend during a coordinated listening
event. The NDB list at the dxinfocentre.com website is in error. Steve
Howe, Saint Albans, VT`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Feb 3 at 1614, RHC missing, but still on 11760, and no
more extra frequencies on 13 or 15 MHz bands. 15140 back on after 1930
in Kriyol.

Meanwhile circa 1615, many weak JBA signals on 11 & 15 MHz have
Doppler flutter, disturbed hi-latitude paths. Yet WWV reports ``no
spaceweather storms`` while K-index went up from 2.0 at 15 UT to 3.33
at 18; that`s all it takes.

The Other Side:

``Cuba, prostituted, between London and Moscow --- Castroism is now
accelerating the transition from a supposedly socialist dictatorship
to a supposedly capitalist one, with Russian counsel and control.
Rafaela Cruz La Habana 31 Ene 2023 - 18:46 CET [caption:]
Miguel Diaz-Canel speaks at the Russian Duma in November 2022. AP

The fact that Castroism would like to adopt the "Russian model" is
obvious, as it seems to constitute a stable formula mixing a largely
liberalized economy with discreetly privatized strategic state
sectors, such as Banking, Communications and heavy and extractive
industries, all under a dictatorial government that is only
technically accountable, having legal mechanisms to concentrate and
perpetuate itself in power.

Cuba, however, lacks what renders the Russian model viable: a
productive sector (in Russia, hydrocarbons) providing the Government
with sufficient revenue so that it can, without losing power, liberate
the rest of the economy while having resources to cover every
dictatorship's overhead: propaganda, repression, bureaucracy and loot
to give out to avert power struggles in the leadership...``

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Feb 3 at 2306, token English from RE, VG S9+20/25
into Maryland SDR, which also thinx I`m in Pflugerville despite the
power outages around Austin; also sufficient on weaker 11940 for S
America, but absent from 12030 for ME: instead weak on 11685 for
Africa - not 11670. That had been missing for weeks; now it`s the ME`s
turn to be overlooked? One of the four Noblejas transmitters must be
down; something`s nonfunxional.

After news, about sustainability? No it`s interview with author of an
article in El País about the Brazilian insurrexion, with inevitable
comparisons to Jan 6 in USA. But I`m mainly monitoring Turkey, q.v.
Ken Zichi, Michigan, for months has been posting greatly detailed logs
of the content of Spain`s English, in the MARE Tipsheet and WOR
iogroup, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.015, Feb 3 at 2306, VOT English, VG S9+25/35 into
UTwente. After SPAIN, q.v., 2315 retune as theme to `Feeling
Supreme/The Healing Spring` is ending. Now the XJPBS CCCCCCI
understation is audible but way down. 2316 `Did You Know That?` about
1/4 of Turkey`s honey produxion coming from Muğla province, where
there are orchards and beekeeping, especially pine honey which has
high mineral content. Note the curve over the g which means it sounds
like a W just like Erdoğan, but in this case it`s virtually silent,
``Moo-lah``. That`s the 48th of 81 provinces in Wikipedia`s
alfabetical list; in the SW corner on the Aegean, probably with the
mildest climate north of the TRNC. BTW I can`t recall VOT ever
mentioning Cyprus.

2323, `Weekly Analysis`, ``special program: Turkey`s defense industry
continues to shine like a star``, in 2022y, i.e. weapons of
destruxion. 2328 music break; 2339 multi-lingual ID filler reel; 2341
more songs; 2351 multi-lingual ID filler reel again! 2353 s/off as if
this were only the 1330 broadcast on 12035 --- NOT! Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler and/or awry at Ankara.

2354 IS plays a bit and shortly off* uncovering Chinese on 5960.000
from EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against
Uighurs and other Moslems. At first there seems to be another weak
carrier along with it: now I`m thinking it may be the exciter from
Emirler staying on a little longer than the bigsig (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2176 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, UT Friday February 3 at 0340 the 0330 on WRMI 7780, JBA S6/S7
direct but VG S9+5/12 into Maurice, Louisiana SDR, where BTW it thinx
this User is in Pflugerville TX! I`m also frequently misplaced into
Amarillo TX, as for weather info. Must be a lot of confusion about IP
numbers. Or maybe my connexion is being routed thru theres?
Pflugerville is a little-known suburb of Austin, 46K almost as massive
as Enid.

Not confirmed Friday February 3 at 1530 on WRMI 9955: tuned in at 1521
just in time to hear some Blalock between blasts, S9 but promptly
turned off at 1522*. WOR still on the webcast, however.

Also confirmed Friday February 3 at 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1323 only, VG S9+10/20 into nearby Noale SDR, after tune-in to Irish

** VANUATU [and non]. 7890, Feb 3 at 0734, R. Vanuatu X 2 is JBA;
while X 3 on 11835 is a JBA carrier, weaker than the NZ 13755 JBA
carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA 9/kHz split MW carrier search, Feb 3
at 0741: 693, 837, 855, likely Spains, except 693 has stronger pileup
of BBC Radio 5 synchros. Nothing on 846 from TP Kiritimati (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report despatched at 0043 UT February 4

** ALGERIA. 17600, Feb 2 at 1627, RTA in Arabic, S6/S9 with unusual
short/long path echo. Direct short path at ground level is 8441 km.
Earth`s equatorial circumference is 40,075 km, so long path would be
31,634 km. Difference between LP and SP = 23,193 km. Speed of radio,
299,792 km/sec. Therefore the delay is: 0.07735 second, or about 1/14
of one second which would be 0.07143. All these figures slightly more,
bouncing up and down from the ionosphere (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 224 MCW kHz, Feb 2 at 0800 UT, dash and DN, a new beacon
for me and a VG one! Only 25 watts and listed as decommissioned at
dxinfocentre.com, from Dauphin, Manitoba, which is 1650 km away = 1025
miles at 41 miles per watt, if the path were along the ground,
slightly more via ionosphere.

233 MCW kHz, Feb 2 at 0800 UT, dash and BR, which is 200 watts at
Brandon, Manitoba; last heard Feb 10, 2021 at 0706.

250 MCW kHz, Feb 2 at 0759 UT, dash and FO, 1600 watts at Flin Flon,
Manitoba.

I seldom hear anybeacons below 248 WG Winnipeg, let alone any
superpower Euro LWBC; I suspect my R75 and E/W longwire are losing
sensitivity that low. Habitually to avoid MW overload images, I DX
longwave above 350 with both preamps off, below 350 with only Preamp
1. But this time I`m on Preamp 2 but with separate ATTenuation
engaged, which may make the difference (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI [and non]. 846 kHz, R. Kiribati: since had not detected
it lately after 07 UT direct as JBA carrier, wondering if off the air;
so checking Maui remote SDR, Feb 2 at 0526 an hour after local sunset,
not even a trace on the waterfall; while 850 is a JBV trace from Hilo:
o, that`s because this SDR is on a 75 meter Beverage [sic] aimed
north!

So over to the Kaneohe, Oahu SDR which has a 220 foot N/S
non-terminated Beverage, and there it is on 846, equal to 850 KHLO
JBA. Later tonight Feb 2 at 0746 UT I again try 846 direct and it`s
JJBBA there; while 1098 is much stronger: could that be V7AB, Marshall
Islands? Late but could also be Spain, as 855-2 and 1044 JBA carriers
likely are (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wed Feb 1 at 1857, LRA36 already on
with songs: a special test for 1900-1945 previewed via Horacio Nigro
as early as 1431. (I had not even bothered to check at 1500.):

``Adrian Korol advises that "Today there will be a test broadcast of
LRA36 Radio Nacional Arcangel San Gabriel at 16:00 Argentine time (19
UTC) on 15476 khz USB for 45 minutes".``

I`m on one of the Argentine remotes which is getting it at the usual
level, S9 peaks, not bad for 200 watts, but never overcoming the
``frying sound`` background noise level.

1900 Morse code too fast for me but presumably ID, and standard vocal
s/on as ``Radio San Gabriel``, never mind the Nacional and the
Arcángel, multilingual that will be only in Spanish; 1901 a reading
about looking southward from Patagonia; `Uniendo Voces` program
slogan; 1903 live OM as joint produxion with RAE/AAM, credits to
Nicole and Adrián; contact info. Bit of music; efemérides = this week
in history starting with 31 Jan 1909y; 1908 ``cultura es soberanía``;
1912 canción; 1916 ID as Radio Arcángel San Gabriel --- too much
trouble to utter the full five-word name?? ``su cía``; phone tones,
``comunicad``, multilingual RAE ID reel. 1917 about carrying out
pruebas, contact info again. 1918 saludos from various voices; then
long talk about history of Antarctic bases, military operations; 1933
song; 1936 about memoria, but chopped off mid-sentence at 1937.5*
never to return for another dekaminute I listened to the noise. Next,
on Sat at 1500? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

means they cannot manage local insertions of Modules; yet the
still-original website has finally updated the Module skeds:

EiBi & Aoki, not yet up with it on 6170, indicate these windows when
North Korea, Ascension, Philippines are NOT on 6170: 2050-0200,

Saturno was a rare newcomer to SW, not even making WRTH 2022 on 6150.

** MADAGASCAR. 17730, Jan 31 at 1622, S7/S9 algo JBM: listed is AWR in
Marathi to India via Talata (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 31 at 0733, no signal from VON; was it on
earlier today? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.000+, Jan 31 at *2259 carrier on over BBC
Oman promo until its 2259.5*. Bit of music, dead air. 2300, 4+1
timesignal and Chinese! s/on of XJPBS Urumqi, no sign of VOT. XJPBS
carrier may be on by 2300 but usually does not start modulating until
about 2311. But VOT has come on late, S9+40 by next check 2307 with
news in progress, on 5960.002+, both as measured by UTwente Synch. The
+ means constantly fluxuating in the hundredths of a Hz, not clear
whether of the transmitters, receiver, or both. VOT continues well
atop XJPBS as an undercurrent.

2314 `Review of the Turkish Press`, not in any depth as usual. 2316
song. 2320 `Weekly Commentary`, by a freelance journalist in Berlin
whose name I cannot copy, read by the heavily-accented woman
announcer, about anti-American sentiment in Germany, foot-dragging on
aiding Ukraine with some faxions wanting to maintain close relations
with Russia. Implies that it`s in US` interest to escalate the war!
Closing with disclaimer about opinions, name again I cannot
understand, and invites listeners to submit their own commentaries by
email for possible broadcast.

2329 music. 2336 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2338 music. 2344 recipe
for a pastry in `Turkey`s Geo-something Products`. 2346 multi-lingual
ID filler reel *again*. 2348 music. 2353 s/off with full but jumbled
English sked. 2354 IS. 2356 restart IS with German IDs interspersed.
0000 Feb 1, 5+1 timesignal, same pitch but final pip prolonged, and
s/on German, into news. Finally cuts off at 0010 uncovering XJPBS.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Jan 31 at 0731, R. Vanuatu is S8/S9 with drumming
and announcements on 3 x 3945, while that and X 2 on 7890 not checked.

WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-oceanic JBA 9/kHz split MW carrier search, Jan 31
at 0739: unusually, none at all heard: getting too late and/or
high-latitude TA paths suppressed? and TP Kiritimati maybe off? While
on SW, NZ 13 and Vanuatu 11 MHz coming in very well (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
