** ASCENSION. 11660, Feb 28 at 0727, song in English S9/S6, chopped
off air at 0729* without any announcement. Aoki shows BBC French at
0700. Romania in Arabic supposed to follow at 0730 but unheard before
0730 tune-out; should have been running IS. Well-coördinated
scheduling also shows Turkey on 11660 at 0450-0656; not so well-coörd,
also CNR2 at 01-09, no sign of that. It`s off for siesta after 0600 on
Day 4 only, but this is Day 3 = Tuesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Feb 28 at 0726, S9/S7 open carrier from RHC on way
late again. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. In case you find my denunciations of ``imperialist
ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems``, excessive
whenever XJPBS comes up such as QRM to Turkey 5960, consider this:

``How a search tool offers overseas Uyghurs harrowing insights
William Yang, Taipei, 02/23/2023 February 23, 2023
Leaked data and a search tool have allowed some overseas Uyghurs to
gain insights into their family members in China's Xinjiang region.
Some say they feel a deep sense of guilt while others are filled with
fear. [...]
https://www.dw.com/en/tech-gives-overseas-uyghurs-chilling-insights-into-plight-of-relatives/a-64796343
via Hansjörg Biener`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUATEMALA [non]. 4055, R. Verdad, which has been off the air from
Chiquimula for more than a year: Dr Madrid is still believing that by
paying some organization, which has no web presence, the 4055 SW
signal will soon be available worldwide via satellite. And claims that
testing is now underway. A few days ago it was ``heard`` in China, and
the perfect-Spanish ``reception report`` he forwarded is pretty
obviously fabricated. This has been discussed in more detail in the
WOR iog.

For once, he publicized the latest test in advance: Feb 28 from 2200
UT past 0300, the first part to be heard in Europe only. Guess what,
UTwente is getting no sign of it at 2237, 2321, 2355 chex, but there
is a roaring noise centred 4050 with no specific carrier. Later he
says the worldwide test would be around 3 am - I guess local time? so
09 UT.

We are 99% sure that poor Dr Madrid is letting himself be conned out
of scare funds, and have warned him repeatedly in the past. If any
legit DXer ever hear this directly or via any remote, we may have to
reconsider; meanwhile beware of a pirate possibly pretending to be
this on 4055. He seems to be implying that the SW frequency 4055 is
being transmitted from multiple satellites, as if HF 4 MHz were not
totally inappropriate for direct satellite broadcasting; has promised
to explain how this worx once it`s successful (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Feb 28 circa 0745, no sig detected from R.
Kiribati, maybe due prop storms even on a trans-eq path. Gary Pence
confirmed it earlier at 0425z with a screenshot from Oahu SDR (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.003+, Feb 28 at 2256, VOT IS is already on blotting
out BBC OMAN, S9+30/40 into UTwente. 2300 TS and s/on again mentions
only the 1330, 1930 and 0400 broadcasts. First news item is like this,
412-2 vote in US House:
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/mtg-house-turkey-syria-earthquake-b2291044.html
Modulation level is loud enough, in fact too loud causing some
distortion, more so during music. Before sports, ends with report that
Antarctic sea ice area is the lowest in 45 years. 2314 `Review of
Turkish Press` quoting Recep et al. always brief, hardly more than a
few extra headlines. 2316 salute to S&R teams from all over the world.
2317.5 `Weekly Commentary` by Brad McDermott? an Australian
psychiatrist, a guide to healing from EQ depression, PTSD. 2327 ``TRT
VOT is with you`` promo, distorted music break. 2331 multi-lingual ID
filler reel. 2334 about aromatic apples produced somewhere in Turkey,
was `Turkey`s --algo-- Products`. 2336 salute to S&R teams again. Just
realized I`m not hearing the CCCCCCI from East Turkistan, q.v. Maybe
buried further than usual. 2337 music. 2343 third salute to S&R teams,
music. 2348 ``always by your side`` promo, more music. 2352 s/off
again citing 1330, 1930, 0400 bcs only, why? 2354 IS gets to repeat a
few times before chopoff* uncovering XJPBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU [and non]. 7260, Feb 28 at 0741, RV still here but VP
unreadable; and no Nigeria 7255-. However, at 0730 I was listening to
13755 RNZP, VG with `Melanesian Update` warning about Cyclone Judy
hitting Vanuatu: in some pidgin with plenty of English terms. Earlier
about that, at 0408, Ron Howard recommended to the WOR iog:

``Hi Glenn - Would be a good idea for folks to listen to Radio Vanuatu
(7260 kHz.) over the next 24 hours. Certainly there will be active
coverage about cyclone Judy. https://zoom.earth/storms/judy-2023/
Ron, California`` -- and before that:

``Thanks to alerts from Art Delibert and Ralph Perry today (Feb 27),
Radio Vanuatu (7260) with extended broadcasting, well past normal
closing down time of about 1100* UT!

https://www.1news.co.nz/2023/02/27/tropical-cyclone-judy-forms-near-vanuatu/

https://www.vmgd.gov.vu/vmgd/index.php/forecast-division/tropical-cyclone/warning
Tropical Cyclone Warning Number 4 for TORBA, PENAMA, SANMA and
MALAMPA.``

And from Tony Rogers, BDXC-UK: ``I have been listening on the KiwiSDR
in Brisbane, Australia, but it’s interesting to follow the programme
content more clearly on their online stream at
https://www.vbtc.vu/en/listen-online-2/

** CUBA. 15230, Feb 27 at 1602, S7/S9 of dead air or maybe JBM from
RHC where something`s always wrong. Ops normal Spanish on 15140 S9+10
& 11760 S9/+10, the only midday frequencies supposed to be on air
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Feb 27 at 0747, VON S9 with some unreadable
modulation, weaker than neighbor VANUATU, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Here we go! Our `spring` tornado season is underway UT
Feb 27. Major OKC TV stations are in wall-to-wall warning coverage by
0030 UT as the storms in TX Panhandle are moving swiftly into their
territory of western OK. The first half of CBS` 60 Minutes made it to
air but KWTV 25 ``9``, chopped into the Afghan/girls story before it
was over, and then we found KFOR 27 ``4`` deleted NBC programing, KOCO
7 ``5`` deleted ABC, and KOKH 24 ``25`` deleted Fox including a new
episode of The Simpsons at 0100 UT. We`ll have a lot of upcatching to
do via On Demand or online.

I don`t blame the stations for this essential public service! But I do
blame KWTV for not shifting CBS programming to its substation KSBI 23
``52`` as it has done in past and is certainly possible; especially
since this severe weather they have been predicting for almost a week!
If anyone cared what`s on NBC, KFOR could shove it to substation KAUT
19 ``43``; KOCO and KOKH have subchannels or substations and could do
likewise but have never seen them do it. Networx` HQ of all four must
not be too pleased.

Lots of views in the dark from the stations` mobile units even in TX.
KFOR labels one shot as from ``Sweetwater TX``! It`s obviously? really
Sweetwater OK, which is just east of Wheeler TX on the OK side. The
much larger Sweetwater in TX is way down out of the storm line near
Abilene TX - not KS, just to be clearer. We are concerned about this
in Enid, but not quite yet: storm line with winds of 80-100 mph if not
tornados too forecast to cross us circa 0300 UT. I`m not delaying
posting this in case we lose power or worse (Glenn Hauser, Enid, 0130
UT, WOR)

We are OK. Storms skirted north and east of Enid and moved away from
us, some tornado warnings for NE Garfield County and neighboring
areas. Wind was not even very high here but just in case we were ready
to go into the storm cellar around 0330 UT February 27. On portable
radio, only local stations with continuous weather coverage were 1390
KCRC // 1640 KZLS, obviously plugged into some TV station I did not
recognize, never aurally IDed, so probably from #4 station KOKH Fox
``25``. Out of OKC of course fixated on what`s happening in The Metro,
occasional info about here; better when NWS interrupts with our area
warnings. BOOO to KGWA, our other local commercial station, 960 //
100.9 which stayed in regular programming as well as all the FMs I
checked, including 107.1 KNID, which is the FM side of KCRC. At 0400,
KCRC & KZLS had enough and resumed ``WWLS The Sports Animal``. There
was lots of damage in western and central OK. All the TV stations
started covering that about 0400 UT, normal late news time, and stayed
on it toward midnight - well after 0500 UT. No doubt much more to
reported after daybreak and following days (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.018, Feb 27 after 2300 I`m mainly attentive
to VOT, rather time collision with Spain since it`s a token English
Monday for them: all four frequencies are on in usual ranking; TRT
into UTwente S9+25/35, somewhat distorted, moreso during music. After
news, 2313-2315 `Review of the Turkish Press`; 2315 ``VOT, always with
you`` and `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring` on computer use and eye
health -- bottom line, bad for you as blink rate reduces and eyes dry
out, so I guess we should force ourselves to blink more often. 2323
multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2325 `Did You Know That?` about city of
Hatay, devastated by EQ, one of earliest settlements in Anatolia,
going back 100,000 years - did she mean 10,000? Heavily accented YL
hard to understand, and the CCCCCCI from XJPBS does not help, std
denunciation of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other
Moslems in East Turkistan; music break. 2340-2343 a feature not caught
before, different theme but did not get title; about Turkey`s first
astronaut to be spaced this year - by whom? 2344 ``VOT, always by your
side``, music; 2348 ``ABYS`` again, so it is getting closer to Always.
2349 music; 2352 s/off with partial English sked not including this
one, only the 1330, 1930 and 0400, why? 2353 fragment of IS before
chopped off uncovering Urumqi. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2179 monitoring: Confirmed Sunday
February 26 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, S9+15/20
into nearby Noale SDR with JBA CCI.
