SPAIN. 9690, Mon Feb 17 at 2300, token English from SNR, VG direct
here, almost VG on 17715, audible on 17755 and still no signal on
12030. No news, but interview about Spain locations substituting for
USA in filming Westerns, etc. Guest had a heavy accent (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

TURKEY [and non]. 5960.003+, Feb 17 at 2335, Voice of Turkey is
back! Long talk about something by familiar OM voice, but no
segment/theme ID when finished, rather 2345 ``with-you-every-hour``
promo, music; lite 6CI JBA underneath. 2350 ``always-by-your-side``
promo, music. 2353 s/off just like in the old days, as if it`s only
the 1330 broadcast on 13635. 2354 IS. 2356 pause and restart IS with
German IDs. Chopoff at 2359:50 just in time to avoid an extraneous
German broadcast, and uncover the Chinese CCI. Something`s always awry
at Ankara, erroneous at Emirler! Many tnx to WOR reporters for
heads-up:

At 2312 from John VORW Jurasek: ``[WOR] Voice of Turkey English
Service appears to have resumed! This requires further monitoring but
as of 2300 UTC, I was surprised to hear the traditional English
Service of the Voice of Turkey on 5960 kHz instead of the TRT World
Television Audio, with the male announcer explicitly introducing the
broadcast with a "We're back".

Program contents are once again the mixture of news reports as well as
cultural features and Turkish musical selections. I haven't seen any
formal announcements of the reversal so it's probably worth checking
5960 kHz for the rest of the hour and 6125 kHz at 0400 UTC. Just a
heads-up! All the best, John, Central Florida``

And Craig Tyson, Perth, Western Australia at 2339: ``[WOR] VOT English
programming heard today and not TRT World feed on 9610 2130-2224 when
transmission cut. Maybe they are back to their old English programming
format? Also repeated at 2300 on 5960``

I have mixed feelings about this; as for the past sesquimonth I felt
no urge or ``obligation`` to monitor Turkey vs Spain, TV news, et al.

** CANADA. 15034 USB, Feb 17 at 2241, Trenton Military with aviation
weather, nothing but ``No Report Received`` from four, Shearwater,
Greenwood, Gander, Halifax, same repeated several times for good
measure, I lost count. Then four more NRRs from Bagotville, Trenton,
Ottawa, Toronto! 2243, Terminal forecasts: ditto! 2145 ID, aviation
weather, back to group as first listed above. Total loss, can`t even
get info from own base! Back to abnormal. Is no one paying attention?
One can only hope Canadian Forces be a bit more competent in matters

** CUBA [and non]. 6000, Feb 17 at 0315, RHC English S9+40/50 but
extremely suptorted; something`s always wrong at RHC. Occasional beepy
QRM. Others had been complaining earlier about that.

6001, Feb 18 at 0213, there it is again, intermittent OOK on this
frequency into Maryland SDR, whilst Cuba is off, but Turkey is weakly
on. Stronger into UTwente on 6000.998. We hear beeping only if allowed
to beat against 6000. Maybe from 4XZ, which has shown up before inside
the 49m SWBC band. EiBi has it only on four other frequencies in ute
bands. See ISRAEL! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ISRAEL. In reply to my CUBA [and non] log about QRM from 6001:

``Good instincts, Glenn.

These new pulse transmissions have been showing up all over, and the
random OOK (on-off-keying, a correct synonym of the traditional ham
abuse of the term "CW") seem to be an idle data circuit state. I
haven't been logging the freqs but there has been one in the 8200-8300
range the past week, local evenings.

When not idling, there are data burst transmissions in an
identical-sounding format, probably PSK, to those previously heard on
many freqs. The old method followed a consistent schedule.  One such
freq is 6617U at the top and bottom of the hour, right after Rostov
VOLMET is done. These have been identified by others as the IDF with a
unique data mode. I don't have an original, specific reference for
that ID and how it was determined, and can't claim the credit for it.

Historically, the old schedule didn't include these OOK pulses, just
data. The new data transmissions seem to be on demand rather than on a
schedule and can pop up anytime, with the OOK pulses between.

I've never heard, or seen reported, any 4XZ OOK morse IDs directly
associated with either the old or new schedule transmissions.

One guess is that the morse and data all come from the same 4XZ site,
and that there could have been an expansion of that site recently.
Alternatively, it would also behoove the IDF to create some strategic
redundancy with multiple HF tx sites, however, so something like a new
Negev site to supplement the "Haifa" site isn't out of the question
either.

I'd expect the OOK pulses to disappear at some point once the IDF has
its new wire circuits presumably feeding the tx site(s) properly
configured. The OOK would help their own personnel but also their
opponents find the new IDF data frequencies.

One "old schedule" IDF data frequency, 8781, was subjected to Iranian
jamming on 9 NOV 2024, noted here from 0015 Z after being reported
online by others who wondered what it was. The jammer was a
resurrected "Seda ye Mojahed" countermeasure that hadn't been heard in
a number of years. I haven't heard the jammer again since then. The
known source and the target support the notion that the IDF is the
source of the data transmissions, given their mutual state of war.

Another 4XZ observation of late: they have altered the dit, dah, and
space timing on their OOK morse transmissions recently, as noted on
their CQ loops on 6607, 6990, 8001, etc kHz. At first listen, it
sounds like they are hand-keying, but it is too consistent and makes
no sense to have an unfortunate IDF conscript hand-keying a CQ loop
for hours on end. My guess would be that they are trying to prevent
any software / automatic copy of their traffic, forcing their
opponents to copy all 4XZ traffic by hand. This doesn't rise to the
level of a preventative countermeasure, only an irritation... -- David
E. Crawford, Indian River City, Florida Libre``

Another observation about this, not mentioning Israel, but NORWAY, Feb
17 at 2208: ``Re: [WOR] Jamming on RHC frequency ?? Hello, I am
hearing a beeping sound at 6000 kHz. As far as I can tell, it's not a
CW signal but a USB modulated beeping sound. And it's not morse code
either, just beeps. I am a newbie regarding signal identification, but
could this be "One Beep, two beeps" from Norway? Sigid Wiki lists
frequency range 4.5 MHz - 6.429 MHz.
Here is a bad recording from my high RFI indoor location with horrible
shortwave reception:

From now and for an unknowntime, at least for 3 years, I will not use any radio except the remote SDRs forDXing. Recently we moved from the village back to the city in a space thatprohibits the use of desktop DXing, a place flooded by high levels of noise inthe LMHF bands. The radio is now used mostly for FM, for news listening.we runpolitically lively condition with always very interesting twits every day ..

** CUBA. 6000, Feb 16 at 0336, RHC managing to modulate in English,
S9+30, calling for end to blockade, ho hum. Somewhat suptorted but
mostly readable.

As for mailbag show which I was hoping to reconfirm on UT Monday or
Thursday, Chris Campbell, Columbus, Ohio, reports: ``RHC had their
Mailbag on last night, 0347 UT Saturday. I caught it mid program in
which they actually read a letter from me. Since they are back, the
programming has changed around a lot. At 0300 Friday I heard them

** U S A. 660, Feb 16 at 0805 UT, not KTNN for a change, but local ads
for Fairview, Williston; ``660 K-? weather``, including windchill of
-40; C&W music. That`s KEYZ, Williston ND, U4 5000/5000, ``Keys``.
Believe that`s new for me. Radio-locator shows night pattern major
lobe to NE, minor to SSE; day pattern more circular with notch toward
Omaha (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. UNIDENTIFIED? 680, Feb 16 at 0807 UT, ``Fibber McGee &
Molly`` classic radio episode. CJOB? KFEQ? KKYX? Those are the usuals
heard on 680; format info in NRC AM Log no help as this is likely a
departure from whatever. KFEQ website makes you hunt for plain old
program sked, but here it is:

Sunday When Radio Was midnight-5:00 am www.whenradiowas.com
However, FMcG&M is not shown for `future` show today or this week:
http://www.radiospirits.com/onradio/wrw_future.asp?source=wrw&pcode=WRW2008
It looks like each program is only one hour, two oldshows, so for five
hours KFEQ must be running an accumulation. FMcG&M is among shows they
are trying to sell when not out of stock (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN [non?]. 15565, Feb 16 at 1533, VR Amharic the SSOB at
S9+25/35 direct, rivaled only by 15150 WMLK at S9+20/25. Same on //
13830 which is also synchronized, S9+20/25, vs USA on 13845 S9+25/30,
13820 S9+20/25.

On both bands, NO other significant signals from Europe. From 1555 I`m
watching and listening to 13830, now only S8/S9, 1557 VR IS weakening
to S7/S8, and 1600 drumming, into Swahili. There was *no* break in
transmission, supposedly switching from SMG to MADAGASCAR; and still
// synch with 15565.

Latest HFCC Feb 13 shows 15565 SMG adjusting beam from 135 to 145 at
1600. Also there was a change Feb 1 vs Jan 31 on 13830:

Until Jan 31, 13830 was from MDC at 1600-1700 in Swahili, Somali,
English; From February 1 all those changed to SMG. 15565 stayed SMG
only. 1530-1600 portion shown as SMG only on both frequencies before
and after Feb. 1.

So I continue to suspect these are both really via Madagascar before
and after 1600. Someone suggested I should ask VR - maybe as a last
resort. So far the evidence is contrary to registrations, listings
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
