** BRAZIL. 9665v, Jan 29 at 0655, NO signal from RVM, must be off. At
0701 a JBA carrier about 11750, but could be China. Need to keep
checking for RVM also on 5940- despite WWCR, Nothing on any of the 3
into Bonaire at 1850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11860 & 11930, Jan 29 at 0703, pulse jamming about S3/S4 vs
nothing, R. Martí frequencies only in daytime. Before 0700, would have
QRMed Romania in English from 0630, foolishly chosen 11930 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 9670, Jan 29 at 0655, ME? music with drumming, S8/S9, too
strong for Channel 292, else? NO, at 0700 it *is* 292 with Germenglish
ID: even during German they pronounce 292 in English. BTW, no Brasil
9665v ACI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN. 11825, Jan 29 at 0702, classical music at S5/S7, presumably
NHK in Japanese as listed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Jan 29 at 2300, token English from SNR, 9690, VG
into Maryland SDR, feature to be about Spain`s preliminary competition
for Eurovision Song Contest; news starts with this being the
trimonthiversary of the Valencia storm which killed more than 200, and
controversy about how the governments handled it. Other frequencies
not checked until 2346 after English. Zero signal on 12030, presumed
off; visible traces only of 17715 & 17755 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 3955 LSB, Jan 29 at 0649, ham QSO with QRDRM,
right smack dab amid BBC Woofferton DRM hour 3950-3955-3960; one may
have mentioned some noise. N5KDH with definite fonetik call, per ARRL:
ISTRE, DOUGLAS J, N5KDH, 1610 DEER PARK DR, VIDOR, TX 77662. The other
sounded like K5EEN or K5EDN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 26110 FM, Jan 29 at 1635, S5/S6 news, no doubt KMK282, aux
of KOVR/KMAX Stockton/Sacramento, too weak for full quieting (Glenn

this particular defect on 9265 before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU [and non]. 9960, Jan 29 at 0657, S6/S8 talk in presumed
Bislama, RV better than usual, but off at 0729 check rather than
running over as last few nights. 9955 WRMI undermodulated at S9+26,
not a problem. BTW, WRMI skedgrids are now ``effective Jan 26, 2025``

UNIDENTIFIED. 518 kHz, Jan 29 at 0708 UT, sounds of NAVTEX. Far too
many choices in complex scheduling, but presumably something closest:
https://dxinfocentre.com/navtex.htm
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5896.5 SSB, Jan 29 at 0157 VG loud and clear signal talk
in English: at first thought a broadcaster off-frequency, until
``out``. MARS or something. Must avoid times WWCR is on 5890, never
noted while it`s on. Klingenfuß 2022 has nothing on this exact
frequency. UDXF iog has only five hits 2015-2020y as USAF MARS and/or
FEMA net (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12169-12213 approx., Jan 29 at 1629, wideband
multi-carrier, multi-tones peaking about 12202 at steady S9+26. Just
far enough above 12160 not to bother WWCR. Same sounds as long heard
circa 17450, quite weak right now; and several other ranges. What is
this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Tue Jan 28 at 2301, quite by chance into
BST1 caradio, `Atividade DX` pgm in Brasuguese from RAE relay on WRMI;
lots of DX news compiled by Arnaldo Slaen including credited to me the
Spain B24 schedule. Later a report that R. Omdurman, Sudan is
well-heard in southern S America from 0400 on 7200. ?? Well, it used
to be on 7205 but AFAIK has been inactive for some years. Later on
home rx, RAE PP still going at 2347 with multi-lingual ID; and S Texas
SDR also gets it on listed // 7780. Trouble is, neither frequency aims
at Brasil, which might be helpful: 9455 to NW and 7780 to SW (Glenn

** CUBA [and non]. 1040, Jan 27 at 0309, wobbler audible under WHO;
also try 870 and soon 0310 also hear a bit under WWL. Later, Greg
Hardison using a FL remote was hearing a new? wobbler on 1000, plus an
unID Spanish on 1005 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 7365, Jan 27 at 0341, pulse jamming against nothing, S9+10 vs
S9 noise level, while R. Martí is unscathed on 7355 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 9790, Jan 27 at 0347, CRI English relay S9+20, nothing but
some weak unreadable spikes at modulation peaks. Something`s always
wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 13760, Jan 27 at 0354, English closing listing some
times and frequencies, S9 = noise level minus some deep fades.
Including 800 hours, and 6110 = KNLS at 08 on 6075 and 14 on 6110, for
this is WCB`s otherstation, MWV, English to India at 02-04. ``We leave
you with Taylor Swift...`` Per EiBi, overlaps with VOK 13760 to Latin
America at 03-09, starting with Spanish but no sign of that (Glenn

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, Jan 27 at 0551 UT and still 1605, NO signal from
Enid`s only local TV, K17JN-D. All multi-channels off. Perhaps if and
when resumed, 3ABN will include audio on 17-1 unlike that past several
weeks? Ahá, all back on by 2340 including sound finally on 17-1 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 6125 & 7285, Jan 27 at 0404, no signals direct from TRT
English, no loss since no `Letterbox` and no VOT (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 280 MCW kHz, Jan 27 at 0724 UT, JBA carrier.
DXinfocentre.com shows the only 280 anywhere is GYZ, Guernsey / Camp
Guernsey WY, 50 watts. RNA list shows 3 more in S America, but no
others in USA. This is between Torrington and Wheatland in SE Wyoming

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2279 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
January 26 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHx, S6/S7 into
nearby Parma SDR.

Also confirmed Sunday January 26 at 2127 the 2100 on WRN Europe
webcast.

Also confirmed Sunday January 26 at 2258 the 2230 on SW Radio,
Germany, 3975.002+, S6/S7 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Sunday January 26 at 2330 on WRMI 7570 AND 7780, still,
both S9/+12 into south TX SDR, but 7570 seems weaker, a bit further
off the azimuth to NW vs SW for 7780 from Okee.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 27 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9+5/20 into
S Texas SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 27 at 0419 on Area 51 webcast only,
18 minutes into so must have started at 0401. Earlier I was monitoring
5130- direct to hear what would happen. 0400 nondescript music playing

** U S A. Since CBS dispensed with 60 Minutes for yet another stupid
ballgame, clear to hear `Le Show` with Harry Shearer via WBCQ 7490
stream. Toward the end, Harry coined a much-needed neologism for the
next quadriyear, in case any president should also be a convicted
felon: FELODENT!! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9275, Jan 27 at 0345, WMLK, S9+30/40 of ``bilge`` as Ralph
Perry rates their output; accompanied by squealy spurs +/- only 5 kHz,
so better than some brethren (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1070, Jan 27 at 0316 UT, dead air except for a low roar,
must be from my nearby dominator, KFTI Wichita (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VATICAN. 9885, Jan 27 at 0349, S9+20/30 in excited African language
with gunfire, screams, drama? Per EiBi, 0330-0430 is VOA KNK via SMG
to E Africa, i.e. Kirundi/Kinyarwanda. That explains the bigsig, more
of it over here than there, I suspect. Violating Separation Of Church
And State (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1290, Jan 27 at 0740 UT, open carrier atop the pile.
Closest are KUOA AR, KWFS TX, but less than 100 watts at night; and
KMMM Pratt KS with 500 W; KOIL Omaha NE has 5 kW but supposedly
direxional away (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9236, Jan 27 at 0343, S9+30 open carrier except for clix
exactly once per second, maybe practicing to be time signaler but no
minute markers; the clix are also audible out to 9223/9248 on two
different antennas, i.e. +/- 12/13 kHz. Whatzit? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

This report dispatched at 0025 UT January 28

** CHINA. 6180, Jan 26 at 1553, JBA algo is the OSOB this late after
Enid sunrise 1337 UT today. EiBi shows possibilities: R. Taiwan Int`l
in Mandarin from site s=D/Tanshui, so of course it`s CNR1 or Firedrake
jammer from site f=Fuzhou = per Aoki Fujiang. But also CRI Russian via
Urumqi; so in effect, ChiCom are also jamming their own Russian
broadcast, altho widely apart geographically (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INDIA. (15280), Jan 26 at 0430-0630, Republic Day parade in Delhi
supposed to be on SW, but I don`t even try as this is a visual
spectacle, easily seen on DD KISAN stream LIVE via
https://prasarbharati.gov.in/live-tv/
At first there were countless military units, unless a band playing,
everyone goosestepping and matching each step by hoisting left arm
with a white glove. Huge variety of very decorative uniforms. Also
missile launchers and other hardware. Eventually moved on to numerous
non-military floats, putting the Rose Parade to shame; and finally
flyovers. Occasional English commentary mixed with Hindi. Interspersed
with shots of stoic leaders observing, PM Narendra Modi, President
Smt. Droupadi Murmu; also a guy under a big black fez, Indonesian
Pres. Prabowo Subianto visiting. See them both here:
https://www.presidentofindia.gov.in/
Huge crowds lining the route. Wide shots could not hide the smog in
the distance. Certainly worth viewing. Ron Howard provides the
ondemand link totaling 5:17:45:

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2279 monitoring: confirmed UT

Also confirmed UT Sunday January 26 early from 0402 UT the 0415v on
WA0RCR, 1860 AM, following ARRL news. Nearby Warrenton MO SDR still
offline; not playing well in Peoria, where 1860 has distorted QRM from
a Peoria broadcast station - some overload, not an harmonic, no 930
locally. Best into far Maryland SDR, S7/S9 with no such problem. Also
heavy CW QRM due to some contest, Winter Field Day. CW is authorized
for entire 160m band, 1800-2000 but normally plenty space without
hitting 1860. See https://wa0rcr.com/sched.html

** VANUATU [and non]. 9960, Jan 26 at 0754, JBA talk, as RV is still
on past previous 0658* as also reported last night by several. Now
9955 WRMI is equally JBA, unlike much stronger 9395 (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** VATICAN. 15565 // 13830, Sun Jan 26 at 1550, VR Amharic
