** CHINA. 11975, Feb 13 at 1621, extremely distorted S6/S8 music and
talk. On BFO, carrier is also extremely unstable. Doppler flutter
maybe worsening it as on some other 25mb frequencies, like Vietnam.
Not recognizable as CNR1 jammer, but only that and Sound of Hope in
EiBi and Aoki. Well, that makes the jamming even more effective!
Romania does not start 11975 in Arabic until 1630 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 13605, Feb 13 at 0634, pulse jamming against nothing, the
daytime Martí frequency active in A-seasons only. What about 13820,
the B-season RM daytime channel? some beepbursts, probably also out of
Cuba as sometimes appear on jamchans. Something`s always paranoid
wacko at the DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 12000, Feb 13 at 0635, RHC English at S9/S8 direct but
undermodulated on 2 x 6000, where it`s S9+30/40 starting ``Cuban
Music`` show also UM, somewhat distorted, and with spurpeaks circa
plus/minus 9 kHz on 5991 & 6009. // 6060 is still on at S9+30, louder
but distorted and splattering 6048-6068 or so; and // 6165 at S9/+10
with ACI from WBCQ as these two stations insist on a too-cozy 5-kHz
neighborly relationship. But no 6100. Somethings` multiply wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Feb 13 at 0647 UT, JBA carrier direct from R.
Kiribati, only 9/kHz split detected. Probably at Oahu remote, Gary
Pence, KM5X, was getting it by 0536 but not at 0415 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17 and virtual 17, Feb 13 at 1646 & 2338 UT, K17JN-D
is OFF again, only local TV signal so the Three Angels are again
unable to convert any Enidians (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Mon Feb 13 at 2310 after news, REE token English
S9+10/20 into Maryland SDR, about World Radio Day, and Peace theme
this year, listeners commenting about listening to Sefarad service;
2313 clip of Ukrainian Radio ID, which was relayed in Spain today on
DAB; since they ``don`t have any spare frequencies on FM``. There is a
refugee centre quite near to RTVE HQ, where DAB receivers were
distributed. // 12030 almost as good off the back to ME; 11940 to SAm
sufficient; 11685 to Africa insufficient with squeal.

2319, on to visit a museum about a painter born in *1863, on
centennial of his death in 1923y*, Joaquín Sorolla. Visually here and
leads to a 6+ minute audiovideo about the centennial exhibition:
https://www.culturaydeporte.gob.es/msorolla/inicio.html
2328 wrap, song about Radio- and V-Day too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Feb 13 at 2259, tailend of BBCWS English
via OMAN, but NO signal from VOT English and no XJPBS, Urumqi either
until the latter finally chops on 5960.000+ at *2308, S9/+15 Chinese
talk from EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against
Uyghurs and other Muslims. Still noshow TRT by 2330. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler. Still CC only Feb 14 at 0000 TS and CNR1
theme. So no bonus DST German either, shux (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. 13865, Feb 13 at 0626, English OB from a noisy venue,
what`s this? 0628 outro as from an SBG in Arizona even on BBC WS, 0630
headlines. EiBi shows this hour only via Pinheira, SAO TOME; but not
noticeably off-frequency! How high does this band officially extend?
FEBC on 13870 elsewhen. Right now BTW, NZ 13755 is JBA carrier, little
else besides Cuban jammers, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re the CODAR CW ID on 4752+ kHz: On Sun, Feb 12, 2023 at
11:53 AM, Glenn Hauser wrote: `Singing River is a river, not a town;
or rather nickname for the Pascagoula River` --

``Actually, the station is on Singing River Island (actual name) in
Pascagoula Bay. There are (or were) military facilities on the island
and USM has/had some facilities there. -- Richard Langley`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13563.5 CW, Feb 13 at 1625, PCO ID over and over, the <4
milliwatt HIFER beacon at Pine, ColoradO already QSLed, JBA direct,
but even weaker JJBBA on 13565 CW, 1.8 mw K6FRC HIFER beacon, from
Patterson, California. Not often can detect both at once, and never at
any daypart other than mid-morning (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2177 monitoring: Gary Pence, TX,
KM5X, asks, Feb 12: ``Hi Glenn, pardon the question but is Secretland,
Secretbrod a known geographic place or just a name for a transmitter
site that for whatever reason remains Anonymous?? 73s, Gary``

Gary, It`s really the main SW site in Bulgaria, Kostinbrod. Only Ivo
Ivanov, who used to work there(?) calls it that for reasons of his
own, or an inside joke? I just ran the word thru Google translate and
it comes out `bone ship`...``

``Thanks, Glenn, I wasn't sure about this one. Always a pleasure to
hear from you, and from Ivo`s latest logs. WOR #2177 was broadcast
from there, NICE. Gary``

Really? Viz.: ``SECRETLAND. Unscheduled broadcast of World of Radio
#2177 on 7295 kHz via Secretbrod, February 11:

Long ago WOR was on Saturdays around that time via IRRS; more recently
to Fridays during that hour, and then canceled. This catch without
notice may have been a spur-of-moment filler as on Sat sked:

``19:00 Streaming + 7295+1323 kHz English News and features from our
studio`` -- so there is also no guarantee the entire 29 minutes ran.
Nor can we depend on it henceforth, but check.

Also confirmed Sunday February 12 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1323 kHz, Villa Estense, S9/+10 into nearby Noale SDR; still going at
2105 into Parma SDR but only S6/S8. BTW, all three AMI transmitters on
1323, 918 and 207 kHz were active Feb 13 for a World Radio Day tribute
to Marconis, looping, for 24h?

Also confirmed UT Monday February 13 at 0030:00 on WRMI 7780, S7/9+10
into Louisiana SDR, and yes, still with the 14-second noise burst
starting at exactly same time atop my opening, as WRMI has not agreed
to start programs 15 seconds later. Same burst again against next
whatever show at 0100:00.

Also confirmed UT Monday February 13 at 0359.5 on WBCQ Area 51, 6160
minus 64 Hz = 6159.936, S9/+5 into Maryland SDR, with ACI from 6165
Cuba unless narrowed or LSBed. Next:

bits of English words: I guess it`s ``Nigerian Pidgin`` as chopped off
at 1629 for Radio Africa Network ID in real English, and P O box in
Lagos. 1630 into next gospel huxter, `Soul of Abraham` with a
``prophetess`` in Renton, Washington, on the RAN South American

** U S A. 9975, UT Mon Feb 13 at 0230, KVOH is back on air after
missing a few weeks, awaiting parts? Praise music into gospel huxters
during `Nightwatch`. Not sure if was on a night or two before, not
checked, but still scheduled UT Sat/Sun/Mon only at 0100-0600. Only
secular shows are DX programs: `Frecuencia al Día`, also the only
stray from English, UT Sun 0100, and `Wavescan`, UT Mon 0100. Recheck
at 0502, still on with jazz on `Swing Shift` but I get away before can

** CANADA. 1610, Feb 12 at 0729 UT, dead air from dominant S7/S9
signal here, must be CHHA Toronto; unless there be a new nearby TIS.
Also some understation, maybe Montréal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Sun Feb 12 at 1607, RHC Esperanto is just reaching the
canned schedule info in their sign-on, so must have started several
minutes late; yes, *still* with wrong outdated time and frequency info
I have detailed numerous times before, as the Esperantists remain
clueless about their own true broadcasts. // much weaker 15140 and
nothing on 13 MHz band. Something`s always wrong at RHC. No doubt with
Yanqui DST imposed in a month it shall be even wronger (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** MALI. 13685, Feb 12 at 1554, song at S9/S5. Aoki shows ending a
bihour of English from CGTNR/CRI via Bamako II relay. Bamako I applies
only to ORTM itself on 5995, 9635 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re my CODAR CW ID copied on 4752+ kHz exactly every
icosaminute, twice at :03, :23, :43 past the hours, WRPW597:

``I found the attached file listing CODAR stations in Alaska, Canada,
Hawaii, the Lower 48, and Puerto Rico. It seems CODAR stations have
4-letter IDs besides any FCC-assigned call sign. I've yet to find a
chart matching the FCC ID with the 4-letter ID. The station you heard
on 4.750 MHz, Glenn, appears to be SGRV at Singing River, MS. [Viz.:

162 SGRV Singing Ri USM 4.75 -25.7339 CODAR Ocean Sensors. SeaSonde]

This site provides some more information on CODAR stations:
https://cordc.ucsd.edu/projects/hfrnet/
If you zoom in on the map and select Station Placemarks in the Overlay
menu and click on a station marker, you can get some information on
the station and clicking on Station Diagnostics gets you recent data
plots and some further station information like power (83 W for
SGRV).

As you can see from the station file listing, CODAR (Coastal Ocean
Dynamics Applications Radar) stations operate on a variety of HF
frequencies. Details of some of the different transmitters and
antennas used are in the attached PDF file. -- Richard Langley``
[Geodetic Research Laboratory | Dept. of Geodesy and Geomatics
Engineering | University of New Brunswick]

Unclear what the -25. figure is about; not geo coordinates which are
in separate columns, not copied here. So why does the FCC version show
two different but nearby locations?

Singing River is a river, not a town; or rather nickname for the
Pascagoula River. Fascinating story of people hearing it ``sing`` with
lots of theories except for CODAR, predating that:

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2177 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
February 11 at 2030 about 2 minutes into, so started about 2028 UT on
WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+20 into nearby SDR.

Also confirmed Saturday February 11 at 2230 on both WRMIs, direct:
5850 S8/9+10, and 15770 S9 yet steadier and much better vs noise
level, but with quite a hum, which may have been of local origin tho
not like on other frequencies checked.

Also confirmed UT Sunday February 12 at 0034 the 0030 on WRMI 7780:
Maurice LA, the best SDR for this is uptied; so how about the two TWRs
at Brownsville TX, RGV? Worthless! The only Mexican at Durango2 is
rarely activated again, so S8/9+5, about the same as Maryland SDR way
offbeam.

Also confirmed UT Sunday February 12 at 0557! UT, about 5 minutes into
so started *very2* late circa 0552 instead of nominal 0415, on WA0RCR,
1860 AM, VG into nearby Warrenton MO SDR. I had been checking every
dekaminute since 0420 as the preceding AMSAT net playback went on and
on and on; its announced nominal starttime was 9 pm CT = 03z. Next:

** U S A. 7490-, Sat Feb 11 at 2233, quick check direct finds this
WBCQ on, playing music, sounds Greekish, wonder if a bonus of Greek
Music Refuge? For some weeks, and whenever checked, the program sked
shows NOTHING around this time, so off the air 2130-2400? Like:
7490 Sa 1700 2130 UT Sa 12:00PM 04:30PM EST The Overcomer Ministry
7490 Sa 1930 2000 UT Sa 02:30PM 03:00PM EST Harmony Barn Sessions
7490 Su 0000 0100 UT Sa 07:00PM 08:00PM EST Fluxedo Junction

The operators at Monticello have got to have a *real* schedule of what
programs to put on, when. Why is it so hard to migrate such basic
reality info into the websked??? Another little problem: cannot
possibly be running two shows at same time on same frequency at
1930-2000! Unless it`s ISB?? Or non-weekly in which case that should
be spelt out (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 13830, Feb 11 at 1555, HOA music S9/+10 and equally on //
15565; 1557 announcement mentions ``Amharico``, i.e. the 1530-1600
Vatican News broadcast toward Ethiopia. 13830 is the extracontinental
SSOB by far, eclipsed only by domestic 13845 & 13820 flanking it. Yet
another example of VN`s ability to blast into areas opposite direxion
of target - either their aiming is backwards, or it`s really
bidirexional, certainly good news for all those SWLing Ethiopian
Catholix in North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
