** BRAZIL. 7399.918, Feb 17 at 0723, S7 direct with music, presumed R.
Antares with a better signal than last night, but further below 7400,
the pirate in Pará, as reported by many others. Ron Howard found this
almost hourlong recording of it via Brasília SDR, Feb 10:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCiiMTX9VyI
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 9454.995, Feb 17 at 1905, Firedragon music jamming, VG
S9+25/30 into UTwente with hardly anything from victim except a SAH,
i.e. per HFCC something in Chinesemandarin from USAGM via Saipan at
16-17 & 19-21 plus via Kuwait at 21-22; likely totally jammed, and no
sign of this ``24h`` WRMI frequency. Seems like the FD music may be
slightly different than previous years but still heavy on the
percussion and raucousness (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [non]. 14589.996, Fri Feb 17 at 1813 IRRS SW via BULGARIA,
rock music, S7/S8 into UTwente on 2 X 7294.998 where it`s S9+30.
Recheck 1857 already very heavy 7295 CCI from CRI English, or rather
``CGTN Radio`` as ID in the clear at 1900: HFCC registered as 500 kW
due west from Urumqi, i.e. EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom
genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Feb 17 at 0736, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati,
once again the only 9/kHz split audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Feb 17 at 0725, S9/+10 of dead air from VON, where
something`s always abysmal at Abuja; in contrast to neighbor VANUATU,
q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Feb 17 at 2306, token English from SNR, VG
S9+10/20 into Maryland SDR, and better than still sufficient 12030 >
11940 > 11685, the last of which suffers from some squeal. After news,
feature about an environmental NPO concerned with cleaning up litter
in the landscape of natural areas. They coined a new Spanish word for
this, ``basuraleza``, combining basura = trash and naturaleza. Called
Libera, another word sounds like ``ecoenvez`` = ecology instead?
Finally refers to website https://proyectolibera.org 2325 fills with a
``chirigotas`` song from the Cádiz Carnaval (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.005+, Feb 17 at 2316, VOT VG into UTwente, S9+40 well
atop the CCCCCCI. 2321 multi-lingual ID filler reel; 2323 `Feeling
Supreme/The Healing Spring` about choosing the right shoes for babies.
2338 acknowledging S&R help from abroad after the EQ. 2339 `Did You
Know That?` something about ancient remains in Anatolia. 2343 music.
2351 s/off with sked; 2353 IS to 2355.6* uncovering XJPBS, std.
denunciation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 26110 NBFM, Feb 18 at 0015, S8/S9, TV weathercast about
freezing tonight in the San Joaquín Valley, etc., by Cristine(sp?)
turning it back to anchor Curtis for some news from NY, balloonland.
IDs as ``CBS13``, some breaks in transmission like 0028 probably
during ads, 0030 back on, YL with ``top stories at 4:30``. Another
break at 0038. Sometimes completely off, others dead air. 0040
Breaking News, live from a shooting near a school. 0046 sports
segment, etc.

Quite steady signal. It`s one of those ``talkback`` transmitters so
correspondents in the field can be cued without internet or satellite
delay, from KOVR-TV, Sacramento, apparently wide coverage as also
refers to ``Bay Area``; first reported a few days ago by Colin Newell
in BC, and then heard as far away as Chile as an unID by Claudio
Galaz. I figured best chances for this to be on would be during local
news segments, so I checked their websked:
https://www.cbsnews.com/sacramento/program-guide/

``Called CBS13 implies KOVR may axually be O&O by CBS?
Local news times when 26110 NBFM is most likely to be active,
strictly UT and probably one hour earlier from March 12:

Fri Feb 17: 1400-1500, 2000-2030, and probably other weekdays too
UT Sat Feb 18 & Sun Feb 19: 0000-0230, 0600-0730
UT Sun Feb 19 & Mon Feb 20: 0100-0130, 0600-0730
Much less news on weekends and more subject to variations due to
Stupid Ball Games``

HFUnderground has a list of several other stations like this, most of
which I recall hearing in years past, but none reported lately until
now; and circa 0025 I don`t find any other activity 25.8-26.5 MHz
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2178 monitoring: not confirmed UT
Friday February 17 at 0330 on WRMI 7780: instead last week`s 2177
replays: totally my error in not getting new 2178 uploaded in time!

2178, Confirmed Friday February 17 at 1530 on WRMI 9955, S9/S7 direct,
no jamming audible. Never have I been so happy to hear Blalock the
Blaster, at 1528 since that means 9955 has not been turned off yet
this week! WOR complete to 1559, but off at next check 1615.

** VANUATU. 7260, Feb 17 at 0725, music S7/S9 from R. Vanuatu, but
still not good enough to understand anything spoken. Watch out for
Mongolia which might also show up on 7260, near the end of RV circa
1100, but not so today per Ron Howard, who of course hears it much
better at Asilomar State Beach, California (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 7399.988, Feb 16 at 0424, music at S7 into UTwente SDR; by
0513 it`s 7399.992. This had been quite a mystery for a few hours in
the WOR iog. 7400 is a frequency `reserved` in HFCC for IRDR =
International Radio for Disaster Relief, with Vatican site as
placeholder like one other frequency in each band, possibly explaining
why V of Turkey has shown up on 5910 and 9430? Hardly any
announcements on 7400 but music recognized as Brazilian, and finally
IDs heard as R Antares, which is a pirate in Pará state (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2178)

** BRAZIL. 5940.026, Feb 16 at 0756, JBA praise music //9665v.
Incredibly, R Voz Missionária is almost on-frequency after years
closer to 5938. WWCR 5935 somewhat weakened by K=5, G1 storms (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2178)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Feb 16 at 0745 UT, JBA carrier from R.
Kiribati: lucky to detect this vs high storm noise level from eastern
OK, so no further MW or LW DXing tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5000.000v, Feb 16 at 0749, WWV S9+20/30 but with heavy
Doppler flutter = unstable wobbling frequency as received: very
unusual from nearby best night channel of WWV. But 2500 & 10000 also
audible without the Dfl. WWV via email as of 0900:

``Solar-terrestrial indices for 15 February follow.
Solar flux 174 and estimated planetary A-index 29.
The estimated planetary K-index at 0900 UTC on 16 February was 5.00.

Space weather for the past 24 hours has been minor.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level occurred.
Radio blackouts reaching the R1 level occurred.

Space weather for the next 24 hours is predicted to be minor.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level are expected.
Radio blackouts reaching the R1 level are likely.``

** U S A. 9395, Feb 16 at 0754, JBA carrier, is this WRMI? Compared to
other 31m channels: 9455 absent; 9955 S6/S9. There are severe
propagation disturbances, but if 9955 be that good, the others should
be even better: problems at Okee site? Nothing else ever scheduled on
9395 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU [and non]. 7260, Feb 16 at 0800, S7/S9 talk from R.
Vanuatu. Can`t understand anything, but intonation sounds Frenchy,
probably not? But FF is V`s third official language per WRTH 2022.
Also a bit of Nigeria remains on 7255- (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
