** CUBA. 11760, Jan 29 at 0644, RHC in English, S9+10/20, supposed to
be Spanish only and off much earlier; while the correct English
frequencies of 5040, 6000, 6060, 6100, 6165, 12000 are all OFF
already. 11760 is still on at 0732 starting jazz show, S9+10.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13740, Sun Jan 29 at 1600, RHC on here at S9/+10, not 13700,
but no spurs; Spanish ID and supposedly only on 11760 & 15140 after
1600. IS, and opening Esperanto, 1603 wrong info for all three weekly
broadcasts as I have quoted time and again. Today Esp`o not only on
usual 11760 and 15140 but extras 13740 and by 1610, 15230 is also
still on, JBM S9. 15140 is S9+20/30 with adequate modulation level but
some squeal. Somethings` always wrong at RHC. EiBi shows 13700 at
1400-1600 only, but 13740 at 1200-1600 & 2200-0500; 15230 at 1300-1600
& 2300-0600, no mention of Esperanto for any except 11760 & 15140
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** DENMARK [and non]. 25800, Jan 29 at 1615, JBA carrier the OSOB,
while Andy Robins & Harold Frodge in MI, Andy Reid in Ontario, have
been getting more than that before and at 1700 today. It`s World Music
Radio, 60 watts, 24/7 per op SHN as of 12/31. Per Aoki & EiBi it`s the
only SWBC station active on the 11 mb. There used to be something DRM
from Germany? HFCC shows imaginary registrations from Bulgaria 26000,
Vatican 26010 for IRDR; and WMR might alternatively use 25795 or
25805.

A few years ago there were US low-power NBFM ``remote pickup`` or
``talkback`` transmitters, 25870 from WFLA, 25950 from Denver, 25990
from The Metroplex, or vice versa? And several more in the 26.1-26.5
range, all gone now? Never reported or listed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NETHERLANDS. 6020, Jan 29 at 0733, JBA carrier, presumed Delta
Radio International, as being reported active as far away as BC by
Walt Salmaniw. Per EiBi, only other signal now would be Vietnam, but
well before sunset there. 6020 suffers from 6030 Cuban jamming against
nothing bleedover. DRI also on 11730 but no signal there here. It`s a
low-powered, irregular, ex-pirate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 29 at 0635, VON is S9+20/30 with music but just
barely modulated. Something`s always abysmal at Abuja. Ron Howard was
also hearing it modulating before 0700 yesterday. Manuel Méndez and
Walt Salmaniw also hearing it before 0700 today. For me today it`s
still on and JBM past 0741 at S9/+10. Supposed to switch from Hausa to
Fulfulde at 0700; English after 0800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAO TOME E PRINCIPE. 15460.072, Jan 29 at 1612, S9+10/20, the SSOB
in African language, from USAGM`s most capable off-frequency site,
Pinheira. EiBi shows VOA this semihour in KNK, which is keyed to mean
``KinyaRwanda/KiRundi service of VOA, BBC``. How different are they?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwanda-Rundi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2175 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday January 29 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S7/S9 to Maryland SDR, S9/+10
to Louisiana.

Also confirmed UT Sunday January 29 at 0435 about 6 minutes into, so
started circa 0429 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+20 groundwave into
nearby SDR. Lots of CW QRM, some contest, best evaded by LSB tuning.

** VANUATU [and non]. 7260, Jan 29 at 0635, JBA carrier from R.
Vanuatu; by 0730 check, 11835 S8/S9 with island music, 3 x 3945.
Compared at 0735 to NZ on 13755: S9+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA split 9/kHz MW carrier search, Jan 29
at 0636, trying earlier than usual: 693, 774, 855, 1053, 1521. 693
probably BBC Radio 5 Live synchros almost 300 kW total; 1053 Talk
Sport from UK, 500 kW altho also weaker Spaniards listed; 774 and 855
likely Spains as usual. Notably absent is 684, used to be 600 kW from
Sevilla RNE1, but power cut since last year, or off? MWlist.org shows
24h at 150/100 kW, which ought to be detectable here if the other
weaker ones are. As it`s Sunday, no TP signal on 846 from Kiritimati
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Sat Jan 28 at 1515, zero signals from
LRA36 into the few SDRs online, 2 in Argentina, 1 in Uruguay and 1 in
Brasil. Supposed to be another Saturday special at 1500 & 1900. Manuel
Méndez whatsapped them and got reply that they *are* on the air, but
still we are hearing nothing; propagation? I doubt it. Then I try the
webcast link via Nacional Argentina webpage but no connexion. Then MM
gets a reply with a different webcast link which worx for both of us:
https://sa.mp3.icecast.magma.edge-access.net/sc_rad35

I start at 1617, talk about Antarctica; 1625 cut to ``RAE Argentina to
the World`` multilingual ID reel including English, then about another
base, Petrel, but lost contact. 1627 rock song. 1631 ID; 1633 Nicole
on phone, apparently operating on ham band. 1635 off air recording of
first day on air 20/10/1979. 1638-1650 call from Romina, one of the 4
YLs of the ex-2022 crewe. 1652 acknowledges SW propagation NG today,
but got webcast. 1653 scripted piece about ``La Juventud``. 1655 outro
credits for ``Uniendo Voces``, into songs.

After 1900, still no SW signal into the nearest remotes. 1922 I`m on
the webcast again and hear repeats of same thing including the 1979
ID, at 1945, and then Romina, etc. After 2000 keeps playing silently
except for an autotimesignal at 2030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** AUSTRALIA [non]. `Calling All Radio Nutzz`, webcast via Unique
Radio, Sat Jan 28 after 1900 with GB and Jen, including Slavic
languages introduced by Dr Richard E Wood; and The Two Bobs flying
over Switzerland with ham contacts. Before and after 2000 playing
classic interval signals, some also with anthems. Then GB plays some
ham contacts with him as M1ELK. His true name seems to be a closely
guarded secret, but I found a post from M1ELK somewhere as Michael
Dawson, and on ham bands his handle is Mike rather than GB. I guess
that merely means he`s in Great Britain, part of UKOGBANI (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 346 MCW kHz, Jan 28 at 0716 UT, dash and YXL, 500 watt ND
beacon at Sioux Lookout, Ontario

382 MCW kHz, Jan 28 at 0712 UT, dash and YPL, 1000 watt NDB at Pickle
Lake, Ontario, just enough to overcome my local noise hump. I daresay
that beacons like these really put such remote spots on the map (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 28174 CW, Jan 28 at 2232, E E E E E E E E E E VVV DE
VE1VDM/B --- and very long pauses between repeats. This explains it on
the WI5V 10m beacon reference: ``28.174 VE1DVM C TRURO, NOVA SCOTIA,
CA, 1.2 min CW, then QSY to QRSS and WSPR-CW bands in sequence``

QRZ.com: VE1VDM Canada flag Canada
Vernon Matheson, 392 Onslow Road, UPPER ONSLOW, NS B6L 5K9, Canada
``Presently I have an AA7DJ 10m beacon on 28.174.0 at 10 watts into a
10 meter dipole at approximately 20' AGL. Grid square is FN85ij for
this beacon. 73 de Vernon``

Quick check of other 10m sigs finds that beacon in BC and phonehams in
western Washington, some kind of contest. F2 single-hop skip distances
at 28+ MHz are such that reception from far corners of the continent
are most likely (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 28 at 0658, S9/+10 of dead air, but off the air
by next check 0730; anyhow V of Nigeria is not totally dead yet. Last
times I heard it were Jan 5/7/9, all with little or no modulation, and
well after 0700. Maybe it were pointlessly on more dates before 0700?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960.000+, Jan 28 at 2344, nothing but Chinese into
UTwente, so VOT English to N America is again a failure, ceding to
EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs
and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 344 MCW kHz, Jan 28 at 0715 UT, JL, 25 watt ND beacon at
JopLin MO; tuned to 342 USB, just above 341 EI EnId; seldom heard
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2175 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday January 28 at 0140 the 0130 on WRMI 5850, S8 into Maryland
SDR.

Also confirmed UT Saturday January 28 at 0500 on WBCQ Radio Angela,
5130, S9/+15 into Virginia SDR, S7/S9 into Maryland SDR but better S/N
ratio. Offsets compared: Maryland -7/8 Hz; Virginia - 14/15 Hz. Both
cannot be right, so then I compare them on 5000.000 WWV: Maryland -0.2
to +0.3; Virginia, -6.6 to -7.1 Hz so the latter must not be believed.
Of course, WWV would not be varying 0.5 Hz: must be SDRs`
instability.

Also confirmed Saturday January 28 at 1700 on WRN N America webcast.

Also confirmed from 2033 UT Saturday January 28 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, VG
S9+20 into nearby remote by groundwave.

Also confirmed Saturday January 28 at 2230 on WRMI 15770, S9/+5
direct; and once again NOT on scheduled 5850: after ID 2229.5, music
plays, apparently fill rather than a specific program; and listed //
7730 is still imaginary. Next:

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid, OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Preparing for `AAAWWW` on WBCQ at 0100-0200 UT Saturday
January 28, from 0056 I check the SW frequencies via Maryland SDR:
6160 -63 Hz = 6159.937; 5130 with IS & ID, +3/5 Hz = 5130.004; 7490
-62 Hz = 7489.938; 3265+ off. This time I stay on 7490- instead of
switching to its webcast. 0100 `WTO` theme and Allan`s first words are
``magnificent bastards``, so this is a new live one. 0102 he has to
cough, but beautiful Angela is by his side so both in Deland of Fla
now. Explains that two weeks ago on a flight back from Maine he caught
something, not COVID which has been bothering him ever since, felt
like crap. Flight was from Presqu`île to Orlando/Sanford.
Pressurization also blew his left ear, deaf there for three days;
anyhow explains why no new show last week. Complains about inflation,
eggs up from less than a dollar a dozen to $ 10 - really? Blames
government in general, 535 members of congress dismissed with an
expletive.

``We did not have to have a war in Ukraine`` -- whew: tell that to
Putin. 0114 the early history of tape recording, invented by the
Nazis. 0123 as trimulcasting asking for reports. No specific
datestamp. 0132 should keep SW and not move everything to the cloud.
Discussing hamfests missed and to be attended. Call from Mr
Transistor. 0138 trimulcasting on 7, 6, 5 MHz. 0141 call from Niagara
Falls, Ontario, reception in a hotel. Explains meterbands MUFs. Refers
to 5G article by Wilner in Radio World. BCQ website may be hacked,
beware. Number of AM stations in US declining but not by as much as
you would think: lost 25 last year. 0158 invites Angela to pray but
she hands it back to him. Maybe only a semiminute late joining Hal
Turner. Again this week never heard a reference to ``our president
T****`` during AAAWWW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA 9/kHz split MW carrier search, Jan 28
from 0704, not in the order tuned: 558-2, 774-2, 855-2, 882, 1044,
1521. Also 846 TP Kiritimati. At first 855 had one unusually strong
signal, thought I might get some audio, but a few minutes later just
two weakers beating. 1521 continues to be mysterious, as nothing but a
5 kW in Spain should be possible this late; no Africans listed. Others
also likely Spain, with Canary alternatively on 882 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Jan 27 at 0737, S5/S9 of dead air: this time must be
RHC, as France finishes at 0730; only thing listed is CNR1.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA SOUTH. 6155, Jan 27 at 0757, chiming IS interspersed with
Japanese announcements, S5/S6; 0800 KBSWR opening theme. Is direct
far2 beyond neighborly target (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Jan 27 at 2300, token English from REE, S9+10/20
into Maryland SDR with news; 2308 interview by Justin Coe about
Sécanos Vivos = Drylands Alive, managing olive lands, biodiversity;
2317 comments by Allan? Moore with whom he visited the Martin Wong
exhibition last week, about criminality and art, graffiti and
gayness. 2322 interview with an opera, zarzuela singer, Cristina --?,
and going out at 2325 with her singing Habañera from Carmen: seems
like amateur recording, marred by some snags/wows; and she is not
finished by the 2330 timesignal and switch to French. I`m
simulmonitoring TURKEY, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.001+, Jan 27 at 2307, VOT S9+25/35 into UTwente, after
news, Review of the Turkish Press mainly about Erdogan pissed at
Sweden allowing a Dane to burn a Qur`an. By 2311 the usual CCCCCCI has
started from East Turkistan, standard denunciation, but quite
underweaker. 2313 Weekly Commentary on the same subject, by a
professor, who says this went beyond freedom of expression which is
not unlimited if it ``hurts`` someone. 2320 multilingual filler ID
reel; this time I note Persian, ``inja ---``, and see that is not a
VOT SW language per WRTH. 2326 Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring
repeat about herbal remedies for constipation in children. How many
Americans will have heard and followed such advice?? 2353 recheck
going from s/off schedule to IS.
2356 restarts IS now interspersed with German IDs; 2300 timesignals
mixing with CCCCCCI and s/on German with a timecheck for 1830. German
still going at 0023, but off by 0044 with Urumqi uncovered.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Until 2330 I was
simulmonitoring SPAIN, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. Jan 26 was reportedly the final day for BBC in Arabic
after 85 years! Since Ivo posted the schedule, I`m checking UTwente on
9585 from 1657 Jan 27.

``U.K.(non) BBC's Arabic service bids farewell to the world
after 85 years of broadcasting. The current winter schedule
0300-0400 on 7425 WOF 250 kW / 140 deg to CEAf Arabic B-22
0300-0500 on 9840vDHA 250 kW / 255 deg to CEAf Arabic B-22
0500-0600 on 15335vDHA 250 kW / 255 deg to CEAf Arabic B-22
0600-0700 on 17760vDHA 250 kW / 255 deg to CEAf Arabic B-22
1700-1900 on 9585vDHA 250 kW / 255 deg to CEAf Arabic B-22
1900-2000 on 6150vDHA 250 kW / 255 deg to CEAf Arabic B-22

Also on MW 639 CYP and 720 CYP 0300-0700 and 1700-2100 UT.``

No signal on 9585 until at 1700, ``WorldService.com``, S9+10/20 but
carrier cuts off and on again, no modulation in Arabic or English,
finally turned off at 1702.5*. I guess the UAE operators were not
quite sure whether there would still be any Arabic feed to emit; still
off past 1716. It might be interesting to check starts of the other
formerly scheduled broadcasts: 6150 at 1855-1902: nothing (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Some ND beacons JBA now with lower noise level, no lightning
anywhere in North America or vicinity per Blitzortung:

329 MCW kHz, Jan 27 at 0725 UT, PMV, 25-watt ND beacon at Plattsmouth
NE.

347 MCW kHz, Jan 27 at 0724 UT, AFK, 25-watt NDB at Nebraska City NE.

356 MCW kHz, Jan 27 at 0723 UT, ODX, 25-watt NDB at Ord, Nebraska:
probably my most productive beacon state beyond OK even tho it`s
second-adjacent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2175 monitoring: Confirmed first
SWBC, UT Friday January 27 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, good S8/S9 into
Maurice LA SDR. Preceded by Firedragon-like music at 0329, no ID
break; and still starts with noise blast over first 14 seconds, not
moved to start 15 seconds later!

Time for the Romania item about folk music was upcut: should be 0230.

Not confirmed Friday January 27 at 1530 on WRMI 9955, since that
frequency is already off when first checked at 1520; unlike last
Friday when it permanested past 1600. However still on webcast at
1530, checked at 1556. Again followed at 1559 by Firedragon-like
music; 1600 into Deutsche Welle, Africa Link on WRN. Why is this in
Bonn rather than Köln or Berlin? System B sked still claims 9955 does
not change to Internet only until 1630! I recheck the stream at 1630
when `Let the Bible Speak` starts as sked on Fridays only.

Also confirmed Friday January 27 at 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1323 kHz only, S7/S8 vs HNL into Parma SDR; when Noale accessed at
2144, VG S9+15/20. Next:
