** NORTH AMERICA. 6940 USB, Jan 29 at 2303, surprised to hear a pirate
in Dutch, commercials? S7-S8 and surely intracontinental. 2305 jingle
as --- something Radio, music. 2312 playing ``Downtown`` by Petula
Clark, in English. Then I notice a stronger pirate on 6935, but when
back on 6940 at 2318, it`s off. These say it`s Sky Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,92273.0.html
and Big Badfish Al quotes this from somewhere: ``Sky Radio is a Dutch
commercial radio station playing non-stop Adult Contemporary pop
music, owned by Talpa Holding. The target audience is men and women
between 25 and 54 years of age. It is programmed according to the AC

** NORTH AMERICA. 6935 USB, Jan 29 at 2306, S9+5 hard rock and omodist
= overmodulated and distorted, yet does not QRM 6940 Sky Radio as I
had hit first on a downtune. 2318 SSTV; 2319 live? DJ still distorted
says ``Imagine that``, and ``Alice? Radio``. Drama about Mars lander

Also confirmed starting at 0445 UT Sun Jan 30 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
S9+15 into nearby SDR but with multi-pitched very fast robotic CW QRM

Also confirmed Sunday January 30 at 1350 the 1330 on WMRI Europe, via
Channel 292 Germany 9670, S9+20 into UTwente reading +7 Hz, modulation
surges up and down a bit, but receiving artifact? Also checked Carlow,
Ireland SDR at 1355, S7-S9 and not surging, +6 Hz carrier offset. Both
have lite ACI from music on 9665, presumably CRI Russian via x-site
rather than Korea North. I happened to awaken an hour earlier than I
would have preferred. Not knowing this, tnx also to Alan Roe,
Teddington UK: ``WOR 2123 confirmed on WMRI Europe Sun 1330 UT on

** U S A. 5850, UT Sun Jan 30 at 0101, excellent classical music show
`Encore` has started on this WRMI; while `Texas Radio Shortwave` had
started on 5950 this week to play 14 songs from SXSW festival - but I
have to prioritize classical. Beyond me why TRSW would choose a time
up against not only Encore but The Giant Jukebox, and TOUTA, the
Saturday evening music-glut hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (5085), UT Sun Jan 30 at 0047, `Theater Organ Under the
Arch` is already underway on WTWW-2 webcast. Must have started way
earlier than usual? Since it`s chopped off without any formal closing
at 0059 for Bible verse, CQ, WTWW canned ID treating our national
anthem as a produxion jingle, and then a ham radio show. Something`s
always loco at Lebanon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Prompted by announcements preceding and following `Weekend
Radio`, webcast at 0300 & 0400 UT January 30: classical WCLV Cleveland
OH will soon be changing from 104.9 to 90.3; this is because of a
merger of sorts with WKSU at Kent State, and realigning those
stations; some years ago WCLV lost its original better frequency, I
believe it was 90.3, and had to move to 104.9 where the power can be
only 6 kW ERP. 90.3 has been occupied by another Ideastream station,
47 kW, WCPN with NPR news/talk programming, and WCLV banished to HD2
on that frequency. WKSU originates on 89.7.

From a detailed press release at
https://www.ideastream.org/about/press-releases/ideastream-public-media-and-wksu-public-radio-to-enter-into-public-service-operating-agreement

``Between January 1 and April 1, 2022, the following changes are
expected to take place:

WKSU will become the region’s NPR news and information station, with
repeater stations in Ashland, Mansfield, New Philadelphia, Norwalk,
Thompson and Wooster continuing to serve their local markets.
Ideastream Public Media will reformat 104.9 FM to serve an additional
repeater station for WKSU programming, bolstering coverage in the
Cleveland area. The call letters associated with 104.9 FM will change
from WCLV to WCPN.

Those who love the classical programming provided by WCLV at 104.9 FM
will have access to that programming at the new WCLV at 90.3 FM.
There, they can continue to enjoy locally hosted performances by local
artists and ensembles, including The Cleveland Orchestra, Apollo’s
Fire and Lés Delices, along with student and faculty ensembles from
the Cleveland Institute of Music, Oberlin Conservatory, Baldwin
Wallace Conservatory and Cleveland State University. Reflecting the
intent to serve its new expanded coverage area, 90.3 FM programming
will spotlight more performances by musicians in Akron and Kent as
well...`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12000- CW, Jan 30 at 1552, letter Z sent over and over,
JBA fading in and out; unsure if some other letter or number
interspersed. First time noted despite bandscanning across here every

sought any of them out. Other letters on other frequencies, but not Z,

** AUSTRALIA. 2368.5, Jan 28 replies to my non-reception of R.
Symban:

``Hi Glenn, I may try this evening local time to see if I can receive
them on 2368.5. As you said, they haven't been on SW for many years
and their current licensed transmitter location is near their studios
in inner-west Sydney.

Radio La Manamea Samoa, who "borrowed" the licence for a short time
after Symban left the airwaves, is also gone from that frequency.
Radio LMS's owner got into a fair amount of trouble a few years back
in relation to allegedly pocketing advertising money from local
businesses and failing to deliver. IMO, he's also using
frequencies/locations that he isn't licenced for by the ACMA.

Both Symban and Radio LMS (now known as Samoa FM) are on the 151 MHz
"narrowband area service" band in Sydney but not on ~206 MHz, which is
the DAB+ frequency and neither Symban nor Samoa FM are in the DAB+
station lists.``

[Later at 1033 UT]: ``Zero signal from Symbian on 2368.5 at the Tecsun
Radios Australia kiwiSDR (Araluen NSW) and VK2ARI KiwiSDR which is
just around the corner from the licensed transmitter location.

Its all a ruse!!

However there is another licensee on the same frequency in Western
Australia. I will check their closest SDRs now.

VK6QS KiwiSDR has nothing either on 2368.5 at this time (1040 UT),
however there is a remnant of local rfi on 2366.15 approx.

This was done as a check on the other ACMA licensed station on 2368.5
which may be a work-in-progress (like Dave Hacko, who I’m really keen
on hearing when he’s completed his setup). -- Regards, BRIAN POWELL,
VK2XBP, Sydney, Australia`` on the WOR iog (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. Re: ``UNIDENTIFIED. 6920.0 AM, Jan 16 at 0714, S6-S8

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Fri Jan 28 at 2300, VOT succeeds today as
heard via UTwente, only +16 Hz carrier offset, VG modulation, no
squeal! SimulSpain on 9690 via Virginia is VG too, but topic seems
familiar, interview about an exhibition of American art --- rather
offputting since none of it is to be seen, so I stick with TRT. After
news, press review, a commentary by an academic about Turkey`s
interest in defusing the Ukraine/Russia situation just across the
Black Sea, offering to mediate; and 2322 `Feeling Supreme/Health
Line`, this time about natural cures for nasal congestion, such as
apple vinegar. Since 2310 there has been CCCCCCI way under the Turksig
but gradually increasing; after 2329 mostly music (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2123 monitoring: confirmed UT
Friday January 28 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850 VG direct; at 0149, 7780
S9+10 into UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Fri Jan 28 at 0330 on WRMI 5985: S5 to Maryland SDR,
S9 to Knoxville SDR and JBA direct. NO signals at new Aguadas,
Colombia SDR; still streaming but antenna disconnected?

Also confirmed Friday January 28 at 1530 on WRMI 9955, S9/+10 direct,
no jamming.

Also confirmed Friday January 28 from about 1915 on IRRS via Bulgaria
7290 into UTwente, and AM Italia 1323 kHz into Noale SDR. During my
lunch hour, both signals into one recording. But tuning first at 1854
on 1323, nothing on 918 or 207, it`s Jeff White talking about TWR, so
must be `Wavescan` perhaps only a fragment. NEXUS/IBA program schedule
for Friday now shows only 1323 kHz added to streaming at 1800 UT, but
nothing about `Wavescan`, while WOR does show at 1915. Did not follow
exactly what went on in the 1900-1915 period, but at 1913 live check,
7290 has ME music presumably IRRS fill, no trace of 14580 harmonic,
and 1323 has QRM in German, i.e. the minority service from Romania.
This continues to be a problem for the rest of the hour. Distance from
Târgu Muresh in central Romania to Noale, Italy, SDR location is 969
km = 602 stmi, yet it overcomes AM Italia only 53 km = 33 stmi away,
city-to-city distances. 1915 IRRS ID on 7290 and WOR, while on 1323 we
are underneath the German. At 1925 I check how 1323 is making it to
UTwente: JBA mix of WOR and Romania. Still going past 1930 until 1944,
altho in last few minutes of recording I am hearing only one of me,
not sure from which.

Also confirmed at 2139 the 2130 replay on 1323 kHz, now much better
into Noale, S8/12 and no CCI; while to UTwente, 1323 is S9+10 with
some deep fades, and lite CCI under, language uncertain. Also a very
lite squeal audible via both remotes. There are two very low powers in
UK; more in Iran and Tanzania if on at this hour, but language could
be Chinese, i.e. PRC where there are 8 stations totaling 1360 kW, led
by a 600 and a 500. Anyhow, WOR plays to completion 2159, then IRRS
ID, FSN and UN news, 2208 still on with music. Next:

admixtures, CHHA ID in passing, ``Voice of the Community``, and
``Radio Latin, Wednesday edition``. In the first place I was checking
whether it still ID on air as ``Radio Voces Latinas`` like the website
is still branded. Completely covers CHRN Montreal if any. City to
city, Toronto is 1764 km, Montreal a further 504 km at 2268. 10 kW
CHHA is easily audible here direct, far better than 50 kW stations

has started with VG signal and mod. Something`s always nonsensical at
Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Some ND beacons, not new, but not often heard:

305 MCW kHz, Jan 27 at 0657 UT, RO, 150 watts at Roswell NM; tuned to
303-USB.

293 MCW kHz, Jan 27 at 0658 UT, TOR, 50 watts at Torrington WY; tuned
to 291-USB

198 MCW kHz, Jan 27 at 0701 UT, DIW, 2000 watts at Dixon NC, indeed
not miskeying now as DI_W (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565 CW, Jan 27 at 1552, HIFER beach K6FRC clearly audible
with continuous IDs only, vs CODAR. Supposedly only 1.8 milliwatts
from Patterson CA. I don`t always log it when a trace is heard, but
mostly not heard at all. When it is, always in the mornings (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2122 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday January 27 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5010, S9 into Knoxville SDR; as
usual gospel huxter isn`t quite finished by 0129.5 when chopped off
for WRMI ID. also 9395 is VG S9+15 into Knoxville. 5010 inaudible at
Aguadas, Colombia SDR where it`s aimed; out of order?

Laser Soul Hits is one of our valued webcasting affiliates. WOR is
supposed to appear every night, on a very flexible schedule, anytime
between 0000 and 0600 UT, perhaps toward the start, otherwise mostly
music. UT Thu Jan 27 I`m trying out their new audio link
https://web-radio.co.uk/stream/8002
and let it run from 0000 onwards. WOR finally starts this time at
0453.6! They also had Feature Story News at top of some hours.
