Please note and spread the word - for those not on a list where my almost-daily all-band but mainly SW log reports appear -- or for those who are but find this a more convenient archive, weekly merged roundups of all these reports in their original form are posted early every UT Thursday via:

** ANTARCTICA [and non?]. 15475.98 RCUSB, Wed Feb 9 not tuned in until
1558, feared too late, but LRA36 still on air with music, VP S3 into
Campo, Brasil SDR, no better at Brasília #2. Still going at 1601, but
1602 QRMed by unID 2-way on 15475.00 USB exactly. Maybe Spanish but so
colloquial I can`t be sure. Then nothing more from LRA36. I wonder if
the 2-wayers and LRA36 are aware of each other. Occasional 2-way
contacts next few minutes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13740, Feb 9 at 2310, S9+25/40 of dead air in Spanish from
RHC. 13680 is off; something`s always wrong at RHC. 13650 is on with
usual Chinese music replacing CRI in Portuguese (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EGYPT. 9899.605, Feb 9 at 2155, R. Cairo S9+5/15 and suptorted in
English, via Maryland remote tuned to 9900 showing SAM offset -395 Hz,
same as stable direct readout daily from UTwente. Something`s always
egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6920-, February 9 at 0346 from music into ID as
``--- radio station``, then sounds like Russian rock; 0357 hard rock
song sounds with Russian lyrix past hourtop 0403+. Probably R. Pushka
[gun/rifle], I`ve heard previously on this offset frequency slightly
low, maybe from western USA, but no HFU reports of it at this time.
Pushka posts directly on HFU such as within:

Yessir! Thanks for trying! I like you for helping me! Maybe one day I
can get an RF amplifier. But still not bad for 15 watt carrier and 1/4
vertical.``
Other recent reports not evening or at my time, rather 10/15 UT span:

https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,92688.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, February 9 at 2303 direct, no signal from
VOT English to N America; still nil at 2312, 2319 chex. At 2337 via
UTwente, S9 on 5960.001 --- but it`s Chinese! i.e. PBS Xinjiang,
Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against
Uighurs and other Moslems. Don`t buy anything made by their slave
labor. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 6993, Feb 9, 2022 at 0724 UT, JBA carrier, presumed same as
last logged Oct 4, 2021, when I also referenced this from 2017:

``6993, Sept 10 [2017] at 0002, JBA carrier as almost always audible
from presumed WH2XWF, experimental 164-watt transmitters with several
locations in Florida, to study ionospheric disturbances, never IDing,
nothing but dead air``. So new log for the record (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** AUSTRALIA. 2368.43, Feb 8 at 2102, S4-S5 with fades of Greek songs
past 2125 via VK2GGC SDR, R. Symban. There has been lots of good
discussion about this by nearby Aussies in the WOR iog (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 15190.10, Feb 8 at 2323, JBA S1-S5 of talk, music? Even so
it seems undermodulated. I`m confident it`s R. Inconfidência, Belo
Horizonte on its signature off-frequency. That`s a strange name for a
radio station if you go by its translations in my Langenscheidt
dixionary: ``disloyalty, infidelity, unfaithfulness`` --- perhaps a
quite different contextual meaning or historical connotation in
General Mines?

11780, Feb 8 at 2322, no signal from RNA, but VG on 6180. Wonder if on
the way to installing pure DRM, after successful? low-power but
high-gain tests a year ago on 11905 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Feb 8 at 2258, RHC English is back today after AWOL
yesterday, S9+20 but deep fades to S6, just concluding item about
ballet and De Falla music I wish I had heard; ``Ed Newman`` outro as
first of two hours, but second hour will not follow immediately in
current scheduling (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9899.606, Feb 7 at 2131 check via UTwente, R. Cairo in
S9+40+ of dead air except for some hum; and occasional bursts of
extremely distorted Englishy talk. Something`s always egregious in
Egypt.

9899.606, Feb 8 at 2119, S9+30/40 of big hum but constant suptorted
modulation of music and talk, also UTwente. Ditto (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 8 at 2321, VOT English is on today, S9/+20 direct
but undermodulated on the squealing transmitter. Recheck at 2345 on my
other radio, better mod level in music but still squealy. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 515 MCW kHz, Feb 8 at 0732 UT, OS, 25 watt ND beacon at Ohio
State, Columbus; JBA in additional high noise level here; in continued
absence of PN Ponca City OK from 515 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2124 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday February 8
at 2330 on WRMI 9955, S9+10 direct, no jamming audible. Next:

1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW

** U S A [and non]. 7772-7784 approx., Feb 8 at 2315, WRMI 7780 is
battered by clicking OTH radar; WRMI already weak here off the side.
Seemingly aimed right against it, or just doesn`t care.

7570, Feb 8 at 2316, this WRMI has very different QRM problem, roaring
noise but unlike DRM; nominally aimed NW right at us, WRMI is also
much weaker than usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN [non]. 9580, Feb 8 at 2313, 1 kHz tone. Must be VR prior to
2315-2400 Vietnamese via USAGM PHILIPPINES, violating Separation of
Church & State. For those who don`t care, let me explain that the USG
is showing extreme favoritism to one particular religion, thus opening
itself up to demands from far less savoury gospel huxters for time on
our secular transmitters. That it`s an ``exchange`` for SMG airtime is
beside the point, an equal violation. BTW, Aoki shows that Taiwan in
Korean is also on 9580 at 2300-2330 but not heard even tho its beaming
would be more favorable for us (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4095.7, Feb 8 at 0730, upward sweeps are JBA, i.e. the
Desert Whooper beacon which intersperses CW IDs as DW. I often hear it
like this without relogging. For some reason DW on Feb 6 reposted to
HCDX a last August reply to me with background info about it:

http://www.hard-core-dx.com/article.php?story=20220206181502578&mode=print
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11689.90 approx., Feb 7 at 2311, S7-S3 open carrier like
at 1531, now measured on my other receiver. On the KiwiSDR network,
Feb 8 at 0021 I try to locate it by TDOA; measured now by Missouri
remote at -74.8 to -74.9 Hz below, i.e. 11689.925. And by Maryland at
-74.7 to -75.0, S5. I pick four locations, Brazil, Rio Grande Valley,
NE USA and northern Utah: TDOA leads to ``probably`` in the North
Atlantic``; delete the Utah one and try again: ``north Pacific``!
Obviously useless, no point in quoting the exact imaginary
coördinates; then I realize that TDOA may depend on modulation timing,
so no good anyway on open carriers. Next day Feb 8 circa 1530 check,
no signal circa 11690. Of the known occupants of 11690, the one most
likely off-frequency is Madagascar.

Now at 2034 February 8, UTwente is getting it on 11689.914 at S7 ---
with RTTY. So it`s not a broadcaster but a usually idle RTTY outlet
leaving the carrier on. Intruder! Anyway. Still clattering away at
2307.

Next step is to search the UDXF iog, on 11689. -- immediately comes up
a thread from August *2006* started by me, but mainly about two other
frequencies, 7455 and 9960:
https://groups.io/g/UDXF/topic/3508999#3014
Search on 11690 gets most of the same, nothing new, disregarding 11690
as a 5-digit cypher group rather than frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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
tuned in at 0432 via Maryland remote, JBA sounds like my intonation,
if starting a bit late; then bringing up webcast, ``General Underseas
Service of Partial India Radio``; pirate I guess provided by HRI as
scheduled. Next:

2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?]
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW

** 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)

** 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:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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:

** CUBA. 6100, UT Sun Feb 6 at 0727, this RHC English remains on at
S9+30, maybe to prolong until 0830 with weekly Esperanto? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAIPAN. 11550, Feb 6 at 1550 tune-in, surprised to hear English ID,
``You are listening to Radio Free Asia --`` and back into Korean,
scheduled 1500-1900 via Agignan Point (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2124 monitoring: Confirmed Sat Feb
5 at 1700 on WRN North America webcast.

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
UT Sun Feb 6; did anyone hear it?

As usual, slept thru the 1330 Sunday Feb 6 on WMRI Europe via Channel
292, Germany, 9670; did anyone hear it? Next:

** 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
