** CUBA. 6165, Feb 20 at 0726, S9+20 of dead air in English -- or is
it Spanish, and nowhere else on 5, 6, 10 or 11 MHz, except:
11760, Feb 20 at 0737, S9+20 of dead air here too. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Mon Feb 20 at 0739, cannot detect a JBA
carrier from R. Kiribati nor any other 9/kHz split. But Gary Pence,
KM5X did see it on the Oahu SDR waterfall at 0537 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 9875, Feb 20 at 0732, S7/S9 with distorted song and
Russian talk, i.e. VOK as sked 0700-0857. At this hour probably aimed
up the Pacific coast in local Siberian evening. Much stronger than VOK
Japanese on 9650 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 28171 CW, Feb 20 at 2250, too-quick check of the 10m
hambeacon band on the first one I encounter, with strange keying, odd
spacing: three dashes at diminishing powers, then XE1FAS/ B after a
space, and then E-something gridmark. NOT listed in WI5V roster on 10
m, only on 12: ``24.9295 XE1FAS PUEBLA MEXICO New 16 Sept 2010``

but the older WJ5O roster not updated since 2016y has it:
``28.171 XE1FAS C PUEBLA, MEXICO # 5W, VERTICAL NEW 30 Sept 10``

Much more info and illos at his QRZ.com page; which is his surname?
``XE1FAS Mexico flag Mexico, SEGURA WALLS ALEJANDRO, 31 PONIENTE 2926,
COL. EL VERGEL, PUEBLA, PU 72410, Mexico``

including, sic: ``BEACONS : 28.171 , 24.929.5 , 50.030 ALL CW ,
(XE1FAS/B EK09VB ) 15 WATTS , LOOP ANTENA TRIBANDER ,OPERATED INTERVAL

ANT QUARTER VERTICAL ANTENA, IN OCTOBER APROX PUT IN THE AIR 472-479
HZ NEW BEACON .`` Among many other things he also runs an SSTV
repeater (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [and non]. 7255-, Feb 20 at 0725, VON with S9/+10 of dead
air, way to go! Something`s always abysmal at Abuja. At least it
doesn`t QRM neighbor 7260 VANUATU, much weaker (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 350 MCW kHz, Feb 20 at 0745 UT and still 1639, RG, ND
beacon at Will RoGers World Airport, OKC, is AWOL. No particular
weather excuse. How are all those World planes going to land safely
without it? The other local-Okies are still extant, night & day: 255
SW StillWater, 332 IC wIChita KS, 341 EnId, 515 PoNca City. RG listed
400 watts, but days before vanishing, seemed to be weakening (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 5990 AM, UT Mon Feb 20 at 0140, absolutely local-quality
excellent signal into UTwente, discussing World Radio Day a week ago
and how R. Prague International was marking it; i.e. this is RRI
Galbeni during the N American service hour, intercepted in Holland,
but probably also VG on to the east coast at least; DX/SWL/Media
Programs alleges show at this time is `Listeners Letterbox` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690 > 12030 > 11940 > 11685, Mon Feb 20 at 2300, all four
SNR frequencies funxional once again into Maryland SDR for token M/W/F
English; after news from 2307 interview with an Irish guy living in
Spain for a dekayear and a Spaniardess, María, who are authors and
publishers about Irish/Spanish cultural connexions (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5910.005, Feb 20 at 2309 & 2339, all-Turkish
broadcast, S9+25/30 into UTwente, presumably special service on
frequency reserved for IRDR = International Radio for Disaster Relief.
Probably a domestic TRT network if not a special one. HFCC has SMG
VATICAN site registered 24 hours, but I think a placeholder so this
one not necessarily transmitted from there: altho on this band due to
skip distance, would work better than from Emirler inside Turkey, too
close.

Not in EiBi but Aoki assumes it is:
5910 1700-0400 CVA Voice of Turkiye Tur Santa Maria 1-7
However that span conflicts with Romania to NAm in Romanian at 01-03,
and CRI via Cuba at 03-05!

BTW, some editor keeps ``correcting`` NAm in my reports to Nam --- it
has to be a capital A for America abbreviated, nothing to do with Viet
Nam!

5960, meanwhile, the VOT N American service frequency, is AWOL yet
again, which happens far too often, earthquaxe or not, during the
entire hour, as nothing but Chinese heard from 2302, i.e. XJPBS
Urumqi, East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against
Uyghurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2178 monitoring: Also confirmed
Sunday February 19 from 2101 UT on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz
only, Villa Estense, S9+15/18 into nearby Noale SDR. Preceding IRRS
unnamed music show ran a bit over; had been playing Horn-of-Africa
music. During ID and WOR start, heavy QRM from something in Italian:
new station, or double feed at AMI? Had cleared by 2118 recheck.

Also confirmed UT Monday February 20 at 0054 the 0030 on WRMI 7780,
JBA direct despite S9/+10 including HNL but at 0058 into Louisiana
SDR, good S9/+10 without the HNL.

Also confirmed UT Monday February 20 at 0401.5 on WBCQ Area 51, 6160
minus 64 Hz = 6159.936, S9+5/10 into Maryland SDR. JL gotta go by 0400
but inserted by surprise an old clip of me about something offtopic,
then WOR. Larry Will says, ``Glenn, we've been using that particular
"area 51 [Ode to] slinky" liner for years now. It dates to 2009; I
don't know which WOR it originated from. The voice saying "do what you
gotta do" at the end is James Brownyard of WHYP, a notable free radio
operator. Lw`` - Next:

0130 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035 USB [low power]

Like our website, a noncommercial service for which financial support
is appreciated. Thanks this week to Joe Caberlin, VE1EJ, Ontario for
some US$ and a book to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA

One may also contribute by MO or cheque on a US bank to above address;
or via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9475, Feb 20 at 2020, George McClintock calls asking me to
check out this WTWW day frequency which he has fired up just about for
the first time, running 50+ kW; it`s the same #2 transmitter as on
5085 at night, since #1 & #3 are still unusable. I have to tell him
it`s JBA; I can perceive it`s on with talking, presumably PPPP; yet
neighbor WWCR 9980 with TOMBS is blasting in as usual. Unless
something else is wrong, maybe because on antenna aimed south as I am
due west, way off to the side of it; altho in heyday was strong enough
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15825, Feb 20 at 1643, WWCR-1 is S9+30 direct tnx to not
unusual sporadic E boost, but with humbuzz, unseems local as no other
signals suffer such; finally at 1727, check Maine SDR, sounds same
there, S9+25/40. Something`s nogood at Nashville (Glenn Hauser, OK,
W)R

** U S A. 720, Mon Feb 20 at 0701 UT, WGN with news on the hour, then
a bit of weather and sports before 0706 joining some talkshow,
probably a replay from daytime. I never heard any ads. I`ve been
suggesting to the Courtesy Programs Committee that they should
approach WGN about turning off the air for the special event UT Wed
March 1 at 0759-0809 UT when co-channel 720 KDWN in rare Nevada has
agreed to test with 25 kW day power one last time before going off the
air forever; but CPC are defeatist, offering all kinds of excuses that
this would never be agreed to by WGN. Anyhow, if they went off for
only 5 minutes it looks like they might not lose any advertising, and
anyway would still be streaming altho appparently a holdout without
even an FM translator. Doesn`t WGN owe KDWN a little something for
*protecting* WGN all these years?

``Totally agree with you, Glenn. Defeatist in the extreme. Why not
simply ask. The presumptions of our infantile Walker is down right
irritating. I simply can't see a downside to asking! Nothing ventured,
nothing gained! Hang in there, my friend! Walt Salmaniw`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9510v, Feb 20 at 0734, big hum with pulsing, S8/S9,
peaks hard to pinpoint, approx. 9510.1 and 9510.17. I also heard this
previous night but not logged suspecting something local. Only thing
in Aoki & EiBi at this hour is XJPBS Urumqi Mongolian service which I
would not expect to hear so bigly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, UT Sun Feb 19 at 0002, LRA36 test
first heard after 2000 Feb 18, and publicized as 2000-2300, is still
running, S7/S9 into Argentine SDR with music; 0012 it`s hard rock;
0015 plugs Panorama Nacional news originating at Esperanza during
entire month of January: how helpful; keep in mind for 2024y? 0027
``Comunicad`` promo. Unknown for how much longer, but Mick Delmage was
still hearing it at 0035; he and the other Albertan, Don Moman, were
getting it direct. But no way here with my HNL and inferior antenna

** BRAZIL. 7399.924, Feb 19 at 0754, JBA carrier from presumed Pará
pirate, R. Antares (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, Feb 19 at 0750, RHC Spanish still on here, S9+10/20
long-after-hours when nowhere on 5, 6, or 10 MHz bands - slanted news
about Yemen, etc. Something`s always wrong at RHC. The Other Side:

``Public Health --- Is Cuba planning on a Russian-style privatization
of its health system? A sector of the Cuban population, especially
those over 50, has for years accepted the lack of freedom entailed by
Communism in exchange for 'guaranteed health and education.' But what
about now?
Juan Antonio Blanco Miami 13 Feb 2023 - 17:50 CET
A pharmacy without medicines in Havana. Diario de Cuba [caption]

Strange things are happening in Cuba. They have just granted
authorization to a MIPYME (TaTamanía) for doctors, nurses and
therapists to set up a private business taking care of the elderly.
And Havana has not reacted hostilely to the announcement of a private
business (Horus Intellicare Solutions) to provide telemedicine
services in Cuban territory from the United States, where the
community of exiles will pay for the medical attention for their
family members and friends on the island.

What is the reason for the regime's silence and tolerance of these
developments while new and stricter measures are being devised against
the exodus of doctors and nurses from the public health system?``...

** MEXICO. Quick check of the 10m ham beacon sub-band first hits two
regular XEs; quite a few others uncopied but not chock-full as often
happens now. These would be sporadic E rather than F2, with WI5V and

still detectable anext Vanuatu. Gary Pence, KM5X, suggests: ``Nigeria
carrier only 0759z, new call sign, Station 67 as in minus 67 Hz from
7255 kHz`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11950 USB, Feb 19 at 0045, poor S3/S4 into Maryland
SDR with music reported as classical. With ACI but clear here; CNR1
jamming and RFA Tibetan via Kuwait should start at 0100 when I do hear
a timesignal. First reported to WOR iog:

``11950 Feb 18 0025 UNID in USB mode. Classical music in sequence
without narration. Excellent signal on Atlanta SDR. Here in my QTH
good signal. None of the other broadcasts from Cuba feature classical
music at this time. Announcer with ID in English at 0030, but I
couldn't identify. Can someone help me? Still streaming. 73 Jorge
Freitas, Feira de Santana, Bahia 12°14´S 38°58´W - Brasil, Tecsun
PL-660, XHDATA, Antenna Delta Loop and LW 20 meters`` - Cuba not on
11950 weekends.

At 0158, a reply: ``Hi, Jorge - This is pirate station Mix Radio
International on 11950, according to the HF Underground board. By the
way, here near Seattle, it's a very good signal on 11950. It's even
very audible here without USB on. Eric Fetters-Walp, Lake Stevens,
Washington``. And later at 0310 from him:

``I'm not sure when the station switched frequencies, but after hours
on 11950, pirate MRI is now on 11935 USB with classical. Sounds good
here on the U.S. West Coast! Eric Fetters-Walp, Lake Stevens,
Washington``

11935 USB, so I try that and 0418, S8/S9 into northern Utah SDR, with
more familiar classical music than before but no IDs of the music.
0433 YL IDs like ``Finest Sounds: You are listening to MRI, Mix Radio
International, Worldwide`` and at 0444 inviting reports to
mix.radio.international@protonmail.com
Appears to be off at 0539 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Feb 18 at 2343, VOT is on today for the
2300 English for NAm, S9+25/35 into UTwente, music, 2351 multi-lingual
ID filler reel - you never know when or where this or other regular
features will appear during the hour, but this just in time before
2354 s/off with schedule atop CCCCCCI; 2355 IS, 2356 German IDs
inserted but cut off 2358* before bonus German hour, ceding to the
XJPBS ChiCom, std denunciation. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13563.5 CW, Feb 19 at 1611 UT, PCO, <4 mW HIFER beacon in
Pine, ColoradO is JBA, and just above it on 13565 CW, K6FRC, <2 mW

OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2178 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
