We were assigned a 10 m beacon frequency by the IARU Region 2 HF
Beacon Coordinator on January 12, 2011. The transmitter is a custom
built digital beacon producing 10 watts output feeding a Solarcon A99
half wave vertical antenna on 28.168 MHz. The antenna base is 48'
above the water. Vlad AA7DJ built the unit which is performing
admirably.``

** EGYPT. 9440, Feb 14 at 2229, R. Cairo must be reactivated after
some weeks` missing from here for 2115-2245 English: S9/+20 direct,
undermodulated talk I can`t be sure is English, and some music.
2230-2235 signal seems to weaken and more distorted but not the
extreme as before. I undoze at 2246 to find it gone, just now? Can`t
tell without a remote UTwente check whether this is still/again 5 Hz
on the minus side. As of Jan 13 when it had been gone almost a month,
I quit checking for it frequently but occasionally. Since then no
other reports of 9440 while the 9900+ transmitter remained heard for
some other emissions. Something`s egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Feb 14 at 0741, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati;
due to lightning skirting Enid, temporarily on indoor longwire of
unknown length, strung around ceilings of two rooms; and surprised to
be hearing this even a bit stronger than normally on external E/W
100-foot LW. But no other 9/kHz splits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.001+, Feb 14 at 2346, VOT with sad song, S9+25 into
UTwente well atop the CCCCCCI; first checked direct at 2327, was S7/S9
also with sad song. At least the English broadcast is on air unlike
yesterday. 2353 s/off with full English sked but jumbled, 2355 IS,
2355.5* off unxovering XJPBS which is one Hz lower, 5960.000+, from
EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs
and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2177 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday February 14 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9/+20 direct; with Jeff`s

between ID and WOR. Next:

** U S A. 5050, Feb 14 at 0157, WRMI Legends on NF for first time,
ex-4980; checked just after I hear some guy on 9395 talking about it
as registered 2300-0500. Music playing is `Telstar` by The
Tornado[e]s, a really neat tune and one-hit wonder. 0200 no ToH ID but
quoting Deuteronomy which ought to be off-topic! In this case, WWRB is
gone for good, yet Aoki still imagines it; so Ted ought to be able to
stay here, unlike a brief bit on 5085 which the real WTWW reclaimed.
4980 opened back up for East Turkistan a bit earlier along grayline,
that is, XJPBS Urumqi in Uyghur, std denunciation (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 9455, Feb 14 at 0736, no signal from WRMI-5, normally legacy
Fámily Radio hour in Spanish. Certainly not due to propagation, since
9395 inbooms S9/+10 with SMTV cult, and 9955 S9+20 with TOMBS cult. I
also notice supposedly 24h 9455 absent at various other daytimes

Claudio,

Those distances would indicate triple-hop sporadic E - or Trans-equatorial scatter. If you only heard music, how did you identify them? Was the audio clear or fuzzy? Were there any other unID signals?

O, rather distancefromto.net shows distance only 4528 km = 2814 statute miles. That`s still pushing it for double hop of 1400+ miles each; if Es, triple hop of 938 miles each would be ideal. 73, Glenn Hauser

** 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. 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)

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

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

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
