** EGYPT. 9899.605, Jan 24 at 2108, R. Cairo, S9+30 of nothing but
some hum into UTwente; by 2115 some occasional clix but no English
program modulation.

9899.605, Jan 25 at 2219, 25 hours later this time with extreme
unreadable distortion, not even obviously English, sounds like rubbing
a balloon. At least the off-frequency has been quite stable from night
to night. Off by 2245, so the SDR produces random tones among the
noise. What more can be said about this saduation?

Zach Liangas and Harold Frodge reported Cairo also distorted before
2100 for the French broadcast on 9884.6. What about Portuguese
scheduled to overlap from 2215 to 2330 on 9545? Also Abis but would
have to be a second transmitter. AFAIK this has not been reported in a
long time, nor the following imaginaries, 2330-0045 Arabic on 9730,
0045-0200 Spanish on 9900, all three for S America (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** GERMANY [non]. 15685, Jan 25 at 1547, S8/S9+10 sounds like German,
so it can`t be DWelle --- but listed as MALgache from AWR Talata,
MADABASCAR relay! Oops, MAL there stands for Malayalam, which is a
language in India, not Malaysia; as on page 499, WRTH 2022 under where
else, Thailand. Up the dial, 15770 definitely in German, so can`t be
DW either: WRMI must be a segment in the multilingual SMTV, which EiBi
and Aoki both imagine be all-English, which seems to be the default
for programmers such as SMTV, too lazy to be explicit (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, Jan 25 at 1550, ME music S6-S9, two
carriers slightly apart, obvious double-het with offset USB tuning to
11529, i.e. Turkish jammer and Dengê Welat, but which is atop? Aoki
ignores the jammer but shows D.W. site switch from PRIDNESTROVYE to
FRANCE at 1500; EiBi says the change is at 1700! And also shows
Turkish jammer for entire span 0600-1900 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925-USB, Jan 24 at 2257, pirate music S8-S9,
``trance``? At first I thought it was AM, but the temporary
``carrier`` must have been some drone in the music. I bet it`s not
RCW, Chile, allegedly active around this daypart on this bandpart.
However, switching to LSB, I can hear some weak talk mixing with
remnants of the music beat. Off at 2306? No, just a pause, more music.
I`m in and out checking other stuff and never catch a voice
announcement, but 2312 SSTV beepery, a quick CW message my brain
doesn`t switch gear into in time, but it starts with WE---; more SSTV
to 2314.6*; *2315 songs, 2327 chopped and then another. Not recheck
until 2347 on other receiver and now it seems really off. These
confirm it`s WEZL and with an intriguing high-quality image:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,92102.0.html
Presumably unrelated to the licensed WEZL, 100 kW on 103.5 FM in
Charleston SC since 1971y. So much for pirates avoiding real callsigns
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU. 4810, Jan 25 at 0721, not even a JBA carrier, which was about
all I could get from R. Logos, nor for the past triple weeks in
bandscans, last logged here during this hour on Jan 1 & 4. Of course
it could still be on at other dayparts, not overnight. Last logs I
find of it were Jan 11 by LOB in Brasil, Jan 13-14 by Wilkner, FL,
both circa 0000 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Jan 24 at 2300, REE token English opens with Justin
Coe preview including Amy Egan with Spanish idioms and expressions:
that should be interesting; starts at 2308 after the news. Tho
S9+15/25 on the meter, reception is not at all clear and I can`t
follow it, anyway lasting only until 2311 before back to Justin to
interview someone who has just returned from UKOGBANI (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 24 at 2300, no signal direct from VOT English to
North America, so I may listen to Spain and WEZL. But never give up?
Recheck at 2346, now it`s on S9/+10, but music just barely modulated.
So that`s the defective transmitter they have chosen to run today.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. At 2256 I can recognize the
JBM IS, and ID interruptions in German; 2300 timesignal 2 seconds
later than WWV, and opening German, spurious unscheduled broadcast, no
telling for how long. Something`s doubly erroneous at Emirler.

6125, Jan 25 at 0430, final repeat of VOT English to us is also JBM,
useless despite S9/+10. Triply erroneous.

5960, Jan 25 at 2300-2309+, NO signal into UTwente, after BBC Oman
closed at 2259.5. Who knows whether VOT will eventually wake up and/or
modulate decently. At *2311 East Turkistan, land of genocide against
Uighurs and other Moslems, cuts on Mandarin in progress and in the
clear (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** AUSTRALIA. (5035-USB), Jen replies to my reply about C.A.R.N.:

``[WOR] C.A.R.N. Correct stream & Pod --- I am sorry if for some

4747 & 4783 approx., Jan 20 at 0212, loud wideband scratchy
spurblobs out of 4765 R. Progreso, into Colombia SDR worse than heard
here before, but all cut off air at 0213* Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Jan 24 at 1553, RHC #1 legacy frequency is S9+10/20 of
dead air. Something`s always wrong at RHC. More or less nominal at
widely varying strength and modulation levels on 15230, 15140, 13700,
9710, 9535 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. Re: 6925 AM PIRATE (NORTH AMERICA) Jan 22 at 2308,
rock at S8-S9, 2309 English talk with background noise, ``-- Dog?
Radio``, ``if you don`t like it, tune your radio to a different
frequency``. Hmmm, hadn`t thought of that. Bet it`s not RCW Chile, a
prime time for it nor on 7610. These say it`s Goatherder Radio, a
Zekey station:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,91989.0.html

But about an hour later, this correlates better with my ``Dog`` log:

"When the mobile transmitter was first commissioned, it had problems

EAJ-7." -- (Richard Langley``, WOR iog)

** TURKEY. 17720+, Jan 24 at 1547, JBA carrier obviously off
frequency, not measured but less than 100 Hz. As in Aoki, has to be V
of Turkey this hour only in Arabic. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler. Hardly anything else on 16 mb, except 17630, 17660, 17830 JBA
signals or carriers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re 198 kHz, Reply to my latest report of DI W:
``It's assumed 198 DIW is on the standby transmitter, with its "DI W"
distinctive sound of its ident. It's done this now and then over the
past several years, in fact it was completely off the air for almost a

this particular case has done nothing to the RNA entry. :) 73,

OK, no big deal but without documenting every single span, a general
note about this like yours would be helpful (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 420 MCW kHz, Jan 24 at 0710 UT, FQ, 25 watt ND beacon at
Fairmont MN, one of my ``regulars`` audible again, far enough from the
local noise peak just below 400 kHz. Also could make out 407 kHz, HRU
in Kansas, but not anything around 395 which I know exist. Noise
gradually tapers off downward to 350 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2122 monitoring: confirmed Sunday January 23
at 2100 on AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, via Noale SDR, good over CCI
causing a slight fast SAH. Did not have a chance to recheck whether it
played to 2129 conclusion, unlike truncation last week.

Confirmed Sunday January 23 at 2330 on WRMI 5950, VG S9+35 into
Knoxville SDR.

Also confirmed UT Mon Jan 24 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, S9+20 into Missouri
SDR.

NOT confirmed UT Mon Jan 24 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, replaced without
notice by some ham radio show at 01-02 also on 5950. WRMI program sked

** U S A. 15770, Jan 23 at 2010, this WRMI is quite undermodulated, on
the Maine SDR compared to just as big sigs from 15825 WWCR, 15610 WEWN
--- the latter with its persistent squeal. 15770 not making it at all
to UTwente, Euro target at 44 degrees! January 24 at 1550, 15770 is
still just barely modulated, presumably SMTV, S9+10 direct (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130 kHz, Jan 24 at 1545 UT check, KLEY Wellington KS is
*still* dead air, S9+20 semi-local groundwave, also 24 hours vs KWKH
at night. I find it remarkable that no DX editors seem to be
interested in this incredible situation. If KLEY are not interested in
// 100.3 translator, might as well run continuous IDs as a DX test on
1130, ha. It could still be DXed from afar and logged as carrier only
if DFed to Wellington. 250 W day power (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2097.3 CW, Jan 24 at 0707 UT, single-letter beacon A
every dekasecond, from anywhere but Quartzsite AZ. Also run across a
number of times lately without logging for the record; programming is
a bit boring and inadequate. It will be news if during good condx it
not be heard again. Quite weak but sufficient (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

hunt for it at UR website. Is your show available ondemand later? I

** CUBA. 9700, 6100, 6060, 6000, 5040, UT Sun Jan 23 at 0703, all
``Cuban Five`` RHC frequencies are off already; boding ill for
Esperanto at 0800. Wolfgang Buschel agrees they all went off by
0700/0701. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Sun Jan 23 at 1607, RHC Esperanto S9/+10 with
humbuzz/distortion, // much weaker 15140. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Re 94.3 KLGB-LP Enid kaput, frequency open for
translators of decent public radio stations: it`s not as if this is
the only spot a new local signal could be insqueezed; I am sure there
are others, but it`s proven as workable in Enid, so stations cannot
excuse as nowhere to go. Another ex-translator channel long open is
93.1, which used to relay KIMY 93.9 Watonga gospel huxter. Finding one
in the NCE band <92 MHz would be harder as it`s well cluttered with
gospel huxters local and nearby with only one decent public radio
signal, 91.7 KOSU from almost 100 km away.

100.9 in Enid once had plans -- APP or even CP? for a genuine LP
community radio station backed by among others the emergency
management honcho, but it came to naught, and KGWA nabbed the
frequency for a tailwagger of its far-right extremist dog 960
talkshows.

Of course KUCO or KGOU can be heard streaming, and in fact I do so,
but I am unapologetically advocating for real local public radio
signals on our dials, in one of OK`s larger cities, while smaller ones
like Woodward are way ahead of us, two vs zero, both to boot bigger
than mere translators. Per 2020 census, Enid is ninth largest in OK,
but it would be fourth if several suburbs of OKC and Tulsa were merged
with their metros. Woodward is #38! (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SLOVENIA. 18118 USB, Jan 23 at 1515, CQ 17 from S57DX, quickly
working K4OOH and W3DLD. Nice to hear something beyond N America on
band. Previously logged Nov 16, 2020, on exactly same frequency, same
hour. More info in logs before that on Nov 1 and 2 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN [and non]. 11685, Jan 23 at 1608, REE still here toward
Africa, VP compared to ME 12030 which is also better than `our`
frequency, 9690. But there is also a JBA carrier on 11670, which may
be why REE went back to 11685. What could that be? CNR1 jamming and/or
VOA Tibetan via PHILIPPINES, but this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. 198 MCW kHz, Jan 22 at 0813 UT, again tonight, DI_W, Dixon
NC beacon is miskeying with a space inserted. A reply to my first
report: ``Hi Glenn! DIW-198 has been reported miskeying for the past
couple of weeks on ndblist@groups.io. Unless there’s some indication
that a beacon’s miskeying will likely be a more or less permanent
issue, from a NOTAM or some sort of maintenance report, such miskeying
is not usually reported in the “notes” section of the RNA Signals

amiss like that ought to be noted at least if it happen more than
once! Date correct, skipped last time. Not audible checked circa 0700

Jaxonvil FL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3370.5 USB, UT Sun Jan 23 at 0255, MARS net encountered on a
downscan before I hit any 90mb broadcasters. NCS is 6TJ, in contact
with HW, something about USB only and ham gear won`t do DSB. Then
making a ``lightning round`` calling station after station from the
roster, all with prefices missing, and each replying ``fully
operational``: 63C?, 6JX, 6VG, 6BI, 6BD, 6OI, 6HW. Sez AFT6YD will be
NCS tomorrow morning, evidently for the first time. This net
designator is 6TX1, implying Texas? And are they all with AFT-
prefices? Closing net by 0301, almost in time for Bob & Ray on
`Weekend Radio` from WCLV. See my last report of this net, October 20,
2021 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2122 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday January 23 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, right after Bob Zanotti butts
in with his name only in an repetitive automation glitch; S9+10 into
Lubbock West Texas SDR, which at first was tuned to 326 Midland TX
beacon MA -- which I also heard again direct at 0655 Jan 23.

Also confirmed on NEXUS/IBA webcast from about 0033.8 UT Sunday
January 23 following `Feature Story News`; but the player stops
several times, including just before 0100 so I can`t tell if WOR
playback is still being chopped off unnecessarily.

Also confirmed UT Sunday January 23 from 0431 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
S9+11 into nearby SDR.

on WRMI, VG into MO SDR. Since the repeat 26 hours later did not work
out last week, I`m prioritizing it now this week, despite timeclash
with `Theater Organ Under the Arch` on WTWW-2, which anyway had not
started by 0100 but underway at a quick check 0113. On $ tereo webcast

** U S A. 15770, Jan 23 at 1601, S9/+10 of dead air from this WRMI;
