** CHINA. 7500, Feb 6 at 2238, Chinese JBA S7-S8, presumably CNR1
jammer as always more likely to be heard than target, in this case VOA
via Thailand this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Feb 6 at 2236, NO signal from RHC in English. 11850 is
on but dead air or trace of modulation, wiggle that patchcord, flanked
by parasitic JBA spur on 11840. 9710 modulates Spanish, nothing on 13
MHz band now. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9899.60, Feb 6 at 2234 check direct, R. Cairo with S7-S8 of
dead air in English. As usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW kHz, Feb 7 at 0220 UT, PN, 25 watt ND beacon at
PoNca City is OFF again. Guess we are in for a spell of intermittency.
Still off at 0702, 1524. See USA for a 517 log (Glenn Hauser, Enid,,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Re 1650, ``KYHN`` report: Oops! Current call is KFSW; one
shouldn`t believe anything from Red Eye Radio. ``The Cross`` 98.7
which is duplicated on 1650, does not admit to carrying RER on its
woefully incomplete ``program schedule``. Does brand itself as serving
``Arklahoma`` rather than ``Oklansas`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 6 at 2311, NO signal from VOT English even unto
UTwente, nor the ChiCom. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 517 MCW kHz, Feb 7 at 0702 UT, FN, 25 watt NDB at Clinton /
Hills, Iowa, now definitely copied while 515 PN PC OK is off (Glenn

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2124 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
February 6 at 2100 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, Villa Estense,
S9+10 steady into nearby Noale SDR, no CCI except for lite medium SAH
from something; unless a bit narrowed, some ACI from RNE-5 Castilian
on 1314, Romanian Actuality on 1332.

Confirmed Sunday February 6 at 2330 on WRMI 5950, S9+30 into
Knoxville.

Also confirmed UT Monday February 7 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG direct.

Almost missed check 0400v UT Mon Feb 7 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160-, but

** U S A.. 9940, Feb 6 at 2235, surprise, WTWW active on this rarely
used frequency, not 9930. S9+25 with gospel huxter, presumably SFAW
but no way I`m going to listen long enough to verify that. 5085 is
also on early this Sunday, Ted expressing piety to a caller, in a ham
radio show? No other possible frequencies active: 5830, 9475, 9930,
15810. Why not the usual 9475 for SFAW WTWW-1 programming? Something`s
looney at Lebanon.

HFCC never breaks down by individual transmitters but for WTWW has
three different antenna azimuths each with a possible pair:
40 degrees: 9940, 15810 [#3 by default]
50 degrees: 5830, 9475 [#1]
180 degrees: 5085, 9930 [#2]
But we won`t believe the #3 transmitter be operable unless WTWW ever
heard on three frequencies at once (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1460, Feb 6 at 2242 UT, surprised to hear English RCC
discussion instead of Spanish KZUE El Reno OK; on E-W antenna, but
some signs of KZUE QRM on the N/S. Must be KHOJ ``Heart of Jesus``
with EWTN, skywaving 12 kW day power and pattern broadly thisaway SW
from St. Charles MO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11689.924, Feb 7 at 1531, S2-S3 open carrier. Nothing
listed now in EiBi, Aoki or HFCC. At other hours on ``11690``, East
Turkistan, Guam, Madagascar; and Finland at this hour if it were first
Saturday for SWR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1729 UT February 7

** ANDORRA [non]. 7400, Feb 5 at 2157, another Radio Andorra Revival
special for a bihour, this time via ARMENIA. S9+5/15 into UTwente,
signal good but modulation level fading down and up, and it`s quite
lo-fi, deficient feed to site? Zach Liangas had same reaxion:

``Andorra 7400 final report! 7400 heard at 2133 via local SDR with S9
signal but rather poor reception with lots of local noise and with
very trebly sound. Rather under modulated as like someone turned off
Dolby while playing a cassette and with full treble! Spectrum analyzer
shows that very clearly. In my radio it's much more noise. Check in
central Italy with S10 and splitter in the lab with very trebly sound
lacking bass and up to 35 db of fades. Also test in Brasília with
signal to S10 but strong fading -- Zacharias Liangas,
Temp Litohoron, Greece`` in the WOR iogroup.

Anyhow. at my check there was conversation in French rather than
music. First of four airings earlier at 12-14 UT across N America on
WRMI 5850 should have been well received here if anyone were awake. It
seems this is a really big deal in Europe among fans of R. Andorra way
back when. I did QSL it 62 years ago direct on 5972 kHz:

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, February 5 at 1544 tune-in, LRA36 is
on! this Saturday to belie my WOR 2124 remark that it had not been
appearing Saturdays, correct as of then. Via Brazil SDRs: Pardinho is
still not getting it: antenna broken? Only S2-S3 into Campo and about
the same to Brasília #2. Music at first, 1545.5 ``Nacional, la Radio
Pública`` ID. 1552, LRA36 ID; still 1619 another ID but fading to JBA
music, 1628 ``NLRP``, 1650 trace; 1715 now better into Campo with
Antártida themesong past 1709; recheck at 1748 now gone. I later see
that Sam Sánchez, Orygun in the WOR iog heard it first at 1352 today
via same remotes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5040, Feb 5 at 0720, RHC Spanish is still on here, S9+40.
This happens so often that we wonder if it`s intentional rather than
accidental. One STL is still carrying English past 0700, today at 0722
check, into 6060 which is S9+20/30 and no humbuzz! and only 9700,
S9+10 with usual anti-American propaganda unworthy of detailing.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. The Other Side:

Also confirmed Saturday February 5 at 2032 UT already underway on
WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, VG into nearby KB0FX SDR; and ending at 2056, so
started circa 2027. Altho most of my opening billboard country roster
has to be cut because of the music, that time is made up for by
interruptions every dekaminute for WA0RCR IDs, FCC requirements.

Also confirmed UT Sunday February 6 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG S9+20
into Missouri remote.

Distracted, I missed checking the WA0RCR 1860 AM airing nominal 0415

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Feb 6 at 0052.6, WTWW ends hamstuff for canned
ID treating snippet of Star Spangled Banner as if it were a jingle,
but not into `Theatre Organ Under The Arch`, as often happens at odd
hour, and for which I was checking. Instead filled with rock music and
a couple more of same ID, until axually starting at 0100! As if trying
to begin it at hourtop for a change. Unfortunately it`s also time for
`Encore` classical music on WRMI 5850, so over to that for me; as
TOUTA also clashes with The Giant Jukebox on 5960 and Texas Radio
Shortwave on 5950 in the Saturday evening musicglut. I do listen to
second hour of TRSW blues at 0200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505.052, Feb 6 at 0720, WRNO unusually off-frequency and
undermodulated in English, music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 620, Feb 6 at 0708 UT, KTNO ID as ``Radio Luz, Dalas``, then
rabid Spanish gospel huxter. KTNO is dominant here on the frequency
hijacked from KWFT Wichita Falls TX, which was a good talk station; I
was even on its program schedule P-mailing list for years. In Spanish
you would pronounce it ``Dah-yahss`` with two Ls. CoL is axually
Plano, and physical address in Irving (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6018 approx., Feb 5 at 0724, very rapid FSK/RTTY, a new
intruder while the slower 6114 one is absent. At least not QRMing any
broadcaster except the jamming spillover from 6030!

Probably unrelated, but look at this in the WOR iog from

``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, Log in Friol: UNKNOWN, Mexican? station,
6017, heard for about ten minutes, 0605-0615*, 06-02, Mexican songs,
at 0614 anthem, I think was the Mexican National Anthem and close.
Weak but clear signal here in Friol, also checked via SDR Kiwi remote
receiver in Iceland and exactly the same frequency, 6017 kHz with a
bit better signal, via Pardhino, Brazil, no signal``

Well, Radio Mil, XEOI, used to be on 6010, gone for many years. Its AM
base on 1000, XEOY is now ``Stereo Cien`` as an FM simulcast. BTW, in
Spanish the calls are clever: OY can be pronounced ``oye`` = listen,
and OI = ``oí``, I listened. Of course, Aoki has never removed ``6010
XEOI Núcleo Radio Mil``, daily 22-05 UT! The last definite log of it I
can find is Sept 23, *2013* by Ron Howard with a recording on 6009.97.
At that time, had been reactivated on evening-only schedule after a
previous absence (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. RF 10, 12, 31, 35, Feb 5 at 1550 UT, BAD DTV signals
into the STB, none decoding. Both tropo maps call for a lot of level
1-2 enhancement around here today and next week: it`s been frigid, but
a little warmup over snowpack sets it off. At of 15 UT, area affected
is most of OK and eastern KS. However tropo maps the next morning Feb
6 show much less of it expected (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1955 UT February 6

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Feb 4 at 2321, VOT English is on the air,
S9+20 into UTwente, VG modulation level -- except also with that
horrible squeal, during music break, then intro some Analysis, 2325
multi-lingual ID loop filler which takes a couple minutes. Squeal is
constant pitch during pauses, but varies when `modulated`. Enough of
that. Try 9690 Spain at 2320 which is S9+25 into Virginia SDR, but
it`s a repeat of JC`s interview with musician J L Montón (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2124 monitoring: confirmed Friday
February 4 from 1915.4 on IRRS via AM Italia 1323 kHz, and via
Bulgaria 7290. Tuned via nearby Noale SDR, 1323 has QRM from Romania
HS in German; 7290 via UTwente has considerable ACI from 7295 CGTN
Radio in English via East Turkistan; standard denunciation. At 1917 I
try Carlow, Ireland SDR, which gets 7290 better at S6-S7, best tuning
SAL or AMN modes. 14580 harmonic not audible. Both 1323 and 7290 to
WOR completion at 1944. Tuning in earlier:

At 1854, 1323 is crescendo Ravel`s Bolero, not sure which station, but
I fear it will be interruptus before climax, and indeed I never hear
that by 1900. At 1859 there is CCI from other music, IRRS ID mix with
Hungarian concluding hour from Romania.

At *1858 on 7290, S-meter jumps a unit when Bulgacarrier oncomes. As
usual, no IRRS ID or sign-on but cut on modulation a bit before 1901
with `Feature Story News` already started, leading with Russia
expelling Deutsche Welle. And now heard on both asynchronously. 7290
already with QRM as above; 14580 not audible. 1323 with CCI in German
from Romania. Not on 918 or 207 kHz. 1908 music fill on both before
1915 IRRS ID and WOR.

Also confirmed WOR 2124 repeat Feb 4 at 2130 on 1323, now VG S9+12
with no QRM at Noale SDR. I guess Romania signs off at 2000 or 2100.

Also confirmed UT Saturday February 5 at 0230 on WRMI 9395, S7-S6 into
VE4KRK Winnipeg SDR, fading down to S5-S4 by 0245; so switch to KB0FX
SDR in Warrenton MO, good at S8-S9. I picke these because of NNW
azimuth. Next:

** U S A. 4790-, Feb 5 at 0015, WBCQ with old tunes, soon announcing
as Behaviour Night, and at 0058 closing Sir Scratchy mentions 4790 so
a special edition. That`s normally on 7490 at 2200-2300 Fridays: this
is part of a 2300-0100 test this week for the music and other
entertainment shows planned as a regular 2-hour block from March,
``curated`` by Uncle Bill; but haven`t decided exactly which hours
will propagate best. It`s S9+10 but noisy here. From tomorrow for a
week the test hours will be 0000-0200 UT. The trouble is, spring storm
noise level will be constantly increasing, and darkness will be
latening, so an ideal? time in Feb will not necessarily apply in March
or April or beyond. Furthermore, what`s ideal will depend very much on
listeners` distance and direxion from Monticello.

Walt Salmaniw just posted to the WOR iog: ``4790 is a really poor
frequency choice on the west coast due to the very loud CODAR
interference across that part of the spectrum including 4790. They
should move 100 to 200 kHz higher. Heard this afternoon via Masset
SDR. Would have been fair/good except for CODAR. 73, Walt`` Here`s an
idea: WBCQ should puts its best programming on 250/500 kW 9330, not
its worst (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490.1v), UT Sat Feb 5 at 0100, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`,
new this week after one show thrice in January: coyly they don`t
explain why they missed two weeks, just ``busy``. Says it was
unusually hot in FL today, 86F. As always they interrupt and yell over
each other which is not pleasant for the bylistener. Usual far-right
digs such as referring to President Biden as ``the puppet``. ``Rachel
Maddow scares me`` --- good, that says a lot more about you than her.
``Whoopie Goldberg is ugly``. ``Don`t care if you`re purple``. WBCQ
should double its rates, losing money. Good news: some new programs
coming, a new music show Sat at 7-8 PET on 7490. Already carrying `The
Power Hour`, M-F at 11 am to 1 pm ET on 6160. Or did he mean 11 pm to
1 am?? If it were in 24-hour UT there would be no confusion! I suspect
that`s the original Power Hour with Joyce Riley scheduled around noon
by iHeart, not the podcast of the same name with Adrienne somebody?

More and more sunspots are being seen with their scope. Last night at
7:30 PET, 7490 & 9330 vanished from their FL monitors: it was a CME.
Trimulcasting now on 7490, 6160, 4790. I do a quick check of 4790 on
remote and confirm it`s still on, offset slightly minus. Then talks
about the 4790 tests and at 0123 Uncle Bill calls in about them. Will
feature pre-Nazi jazz, music from Finland, Brazil. 0130 reading an
article about radio ad sales going up in the industry. 0137 about old
music being popular among younger people today. Fantasizes that AM on

that time.

341 MCW kHz, Feb 4 at 0715 UT, in the continued absence of EI Enid,
25-watt OIN Oberlin KS is the usual sole NDB occupant, but now it`s

when EI was operative it was so weak that OIN could also be heard

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2124 monitoring: confirmed second
airing, UT Friday February 4 at 0337 the 0330 on WRMI 5985, aimed
south so as usual here JBA vs hi storm and line noise; but at 0343
also JBA to Argentina SDR, S5-S7 to Knoxville but line noise; S4-S6
but less noisy to Maryland; JBA S7-S9 to Missouri SDR; Colombia SDR
still receiving nothing; TWR Bonaire still missing; best I can find at
0348 turns out to be the J68HZ SDR in St. Lucia, S7-S9 and less noise
than elsewhere. Put on some sandals?

Also confirmed Friday February 4 at 1530 on WRMI 9955, good S8-S9 but
seems undermodulated, no jamming audible direct. Maybe my file is
undermodulated, but stations ought to boost it to their own level.

BTW, the first airing at 0130 on 5850 was a few seconds short as final
edit had not been completed, but my closing was still overridden by
WRMI ID break. BTW2, upload to WRMI System F server was completed with
only 30 seconds to spare before 0130 with unexpectedly slow ftp

** VATICAN [and non]. 13830, Feb 4 at 1535, VR Amharic from own SMG
site in extraterritorial ITALY, as I pointed out before can be
amazingly strong here in the wrong direxion, as typical for this
station and can`t help but wonder if their antenna aiming is 180
degrees off! Or at least not restricting radiation off the back.
However, yesterday with poor propagation it was not equivalent to
13820 Cuban radio war; today it`s only S5-S8 and with heavy flutter.
And also a short/long path echo.

Last time, Jan 10, I computed that the long path at surface level
measures 31289 km, resulting in an echo delay of about 1/13 second.
This time I inspect my NGS Globe to track the long path: along the
west coast of the Red Sea, out of Africa from northern Somalia, across
the vast Indian Ocean, way south of Australia, south even of NZ across
Auckland Island, across the vast Pacific near Tubuas Islands (as
labeled, ever hear of those before? Wikipedia spells Tubuai or
Tupua`i), Tuamotu Archipelago, i.e. near Tahiti, Marquesas Islands,
Revilla Gigedo, the Mexican Islands which seem to have no other
funxion, La Paz, western Texas, to Enid. The VR // 11935 is stronger
S9/+10 without flutter.

Further bandscan on 9, 7 and 6 MHz finds all the Chinese and other
east Asian signals with Doppler flutter, i.e. unstable frequencies as
processed by the disturbed ionosphere. Even NZ 7390 not near any polar
path has some flutter at 1545. WWV reports at 1500 Feb 4, K-index of 4
but no storms past or future (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15475.00 USB, Feb 4 at 0343, checking the LU1HLW SDR in

2-way in the middle of their summer night, probably nothing to do with
Antarctica; also have heard 2-way here before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
