** CUBA. 15230, Feb 27 at 1602, S7/S9 of dead air or maybe JBM from
RHC where something`s always wrong. Ops normal Spanish on 15140 S9+10
& 11760 S9/+10, the only midday frequencies supposed to be on air
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Feb 27 at 0747, VON S9 with some unreadable
modulation, weaker than neighbor VANUATU, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Here we go! Our `spring` tornado season is underway UT
Feb 27. Major OKC TV stations are in wall-to-wall warning coverage by
0030 UT as the storms in TX Panhandle are moving swiftly into their
territory of western OK. The first half of CBS` 60 Minutes made it to
air but KWTV 25 ``9``, chopped into the Afghan/girls story before it
was over, and then we found KFOR 27 ``4`` deleted NBC programing, KOCO
7 ``5`` deleted ABC, and KOKH 24 ``25`` deleted Fox including a new
episode of The Simpsons at 0100 UT. We`ll have a lot of upcatching to
do via On Demand or online.

I don`t blame the stations for this essential public service! But I do
blame KWTV for not shifting CBS programming to its substation KSBI 23
``52`` as it has done in past and is certainly possible; especially
since this severe weather they have been predicting for almost a week!
If anyone cared what`s on NBC, KFOR could shove it to substation KAUT
19 ``43``; KOCO and KOKH have subchannels or substations and could do
likewise but have never seen them do it. Networx` HQ of all four must
not be too pleased.

Lots of views in the dark from the stations` mobile units even in TX.
KFOR labels one shot as from ``Sweetwater TX``! It`s obviously? really
Sweetwater OK, which is just east of Wheeler TX on the OK side. The
much larger Sweetwater in TX is way down out of the storm line near
Abilene TX - not KS, just to be clearer. We are concerned about this
in Enid, but not quite yet: storm line with winds of 80-100 mph if not
tornados too forecast to cross us circa 0300 UT. I`m not delaying
posting this in case we lose power or worse (Glenn Hauser, Enid, 0130
UT, WOR)

We are OK. Storms skirted north and east of Enid and moved away from
us, some tornado warnings for NE Garfield County and neighboring
areas. Wind was not even very high here but just in case we were ready
to go into the storm cellar around 0330 UT February 27. On portable
radio, only local stations with continuous weather coverage were 1390
KCRC // 1640 KZLS, obviously plugged into some TV station I did not
recognize, never aurally IDed, so probably from #4 station KOKH Fox
``25``. Out of OKC of course fixated on what`s happening in The Metro,
occasional info about here; better when NWS interrupts with our area
warnings. BOOO to KGWA, our other local commercial station, 960 //
100.9 which stayed in regular programming as well as all the FMs I
checked, including 107.1 KNID, which is the FM side of KCRC. At 0400,
KCRC & KZLS had enough and resumed ``WWLS The Sports Animal``. There
was lots of damage in western and central OK. All the TV stations
started covering that about 0400 UT, normal late news time, and stayed
on it toward midnight - well after 0500 UT. No doubt much more to
reported after daybreak and following days (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.018, Feb 27 after 2300 I`m mainly attentive
to VOT, rather time collision with Spain since it`s a token English
Monday for them: all four frequencies are on in usual ranking; TRT
into UTwente S9+25/35, somewhat distorted, moreso during music. After
news, 2313-2315 `Review of the Turkish Press`; 2315 ``VOT, always with
you`` and `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring` on computer use and eye
health -- bottom line, bad for you as blink rate reduces and eyes dry
out, so I guess we should force ourselves to blink more often. 2323
multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2325 `Did You Know That?` about city of
Hatay, devastated by EQ, one of earliest settlements in Anatolia,
going back 100,000 years - did she mean 10,000? Heavily accented YL
hard to understand, and the CCCCCCI from XJPBS does not help, std
denunciation of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other
Moslems in East Turkistan; music break. 2340-2343 a feature not caught
before, different theme but did not get title; about Turkey`s first
astronaut to be spaced this year - by whom? 2344 ``VOT, always by your
side``, music; 2348 ``ABYS`` again, so it is getting closer to Always.
2349 music; 2352 s/off with partial English sked not including this
one, only the 1330, 1930 and 0400, why? 2353 fragment of IS before

** ANTARCTICA. 15476 USB, Sat Feb 25, LRA36 continued from last
report. Stayed on past 2100 and widely reported via remotes and direct
to various parts of N America. Seems mostly music, and talk segments
repetitious of what we`ve heard before. At 2255 with some hum on the
audio.

Then at 0017 UT Sun Feb 26 I can report: ``Recheck at 0000, I`m
finally getting LRA36 direct, S3/S5 barely above the noise level,
mostly music on 15476-USB. From their rough scheduling probably not on
much longer tonight. Still at 0016. It would take too much research to
find when I last logged them direct, but it`s been years. Glenn, OK``

Continued monitoring direct and at least a JBA signal remained at
0030, 0100, 0131, 0146; ID at 0156 saying they are playing Argentine
music; still at 0230, but finally off at 0300*. Walt Salmaniw recorded
the closing when they said next broadcast would be Wednesday at 21 UT.
Walt is thrilled with how well it gets into his remote at Masset BC. I
point out, that far west, it`s almost all Pacific Oceanic path,
missing Chile and Mexico, just ultimately crossing California and
Oregon. Hope they stay with evening rather than morning emissions, for
better propagation and convenience (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 351 MCW kHz, Feb 26 at 0804 UT, dash and YKQ, 500 watt NDB
at Fort Rupert / Waskaganish, Quebec, in continued absence of RG 350
OKC. There is only one other on 351, 25 watt AE, Albuquerque, I`d like
to hear (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, UT Sun Feb 26 at 0818, RHC music S9+20, and 0821 in
Esperanto! Also 11670 in Spanish, S9+10. NO RHCs on 5, 6 or 10 MHz
bands. Weekly Esperanto supposed to be on 6100. These late-night 11s
are getting to be regular so wonder if intentional rather than
accidental. Propagation is certainly cooperating. First time I`ve
heard both 11670 & 11760 on late at same time. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Feb 26 at 0745, no signal from R. Kiribati or
any other 9/kHz split; presumably regular Sunday night off (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 350 MCW kHz, Feb 26 at 0805, RG, NDB at Will RoGers World
Airport, OKC, is still off. See CANADA. I see there is another RG
nearby, 5000 watts on 352, RarotonGa, Cook Islands: must not confuse
those two should we ever be so lucky! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, KUCO FM, Edmond/OKC, the classical station:
shakeup. About a week ago the distinctive voice of Kimberly Powell
began to disappear, from IDs, underwriting plugs, continuity
announcements, player greetings. Then at 0100 UT Friday Feb 24, when
`Performance Oklahoma` should air, another announcer said it would be
returning with a ``new host``, then some concert recording from
elsewhere. It seems her departure was rather abrupt. From the staff
page on revamped website, her position has been replaced by
``Forthcoming -- Programming & Production, Morning Host, Producer``. I
do not mean to pry, but I emailed her at the only address I have, via
KUCO, hoping her departure was not under unpleasant circumstances,
hoping she`s OK, wishing her well, she will be missed, and hoping to
hear if she wind up at another classical station.

Here`s a 10-year-old portrait of her and CV, still on the web, but
hurry:

signal, is ON again, Feb 26 at 0040 UT; had been invisible since Feb
13. Such protracted absences are not unusual. I wonder if instead of a
major problem, something trips it off, and it takes a couple weeks for
somengineer to get here and reset it. Again with the usual 4 video

17-7 is silent (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

Also confirmed UT Sunday February 26 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S7/9+5 into
Louisiana SDR.

Not confirmed on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO: nominal 0415 UT Sunday, but
never heard via nearby remote, checking every 15 minutes or so
starting at 0420 to 0555; and to my surprise, WA0RCR off the air early
by 0600, 1860 immediately occupied by swift LSB ham contacts, sounds
like a contest. I asked Vern what happened and he explains:

``Hi Glen, First of all, regarding WOR: Due to the limited schedule
time today, I was not able to get WOR on at the normal time approx.
22:15 CST. It did air from 21:44 to 22:13. I am sorry that I wasn't
able to get it on closer to schedule.

"This Week In Amateur Radio was 146 minutes long this week; and I did
not have enough schedule time to fit WOR in closer to correct time.
With 18 to 19 hours to work with; I can usually shift everything
around enough to get all of the scheduled start times fairly close.
TWIAR can run 89 to 209 minutes; which makes schedule rotation fun
(not). Regarding why we went QRT at midnight; the CQ Worldwide 160
Meter Contest on SSB is this weekend. To free up a couple of channels
for SSB contesters to try to work DX stations; the past two years, I
have closed down the News bulletin service at midnight. This is the
only weekend in which that is done.

I look forward to getting things back on schedule this next week. 73,
Vern``

UNIDENTIFIED. 2580, Feb 26 at 0806, JBA carrier: checking following
this thread via the WOR iog starting Feb 25:

``MYSTERY STATION ON 2580 --- Greetings, Can find nothing online
anywhere. Suspect that it's something new or a harmonic. 2580 kHz -
sign on 5 minutes before 0800 UTC with no talking just music (sort of
like Radio Tarma at sign on) and then at 0800 official sign on and
announcements. Spanish. Mostly quite weak but some occasional good
audio. Mix of talk and music. Sometimes very long blocks of talk. I
have heard them every night / morning for over a week now. Fades out
before / around my sunrise. Recording everything. I tried finding an
SDR that had copy but only found one SDR that gets it - even weaker
than me (SDR in S. Florida). Does not sound like a domestic US Spanish
station. Fairly good copy here - actually best ever at 08:40 UTC
(03:40 AM EST where I am located). RX QTH - N. Florida, Kenwood
TS-590. Ant 1) 160M full size NVIS dipole; Ant 2) Vertical/L array
over buried radial field. I did find an SDR (Brownsville, TX I think)
where there was a signal and audio on 2580 kHz but it was not an audio
match and after further investigation I discovered that SDR was
getting a harmonic of a local station to them. Don't know if it's a
true harmonic or just a faulty SDR though. Best regards, Randy Holt /
WB9LUR``

My first reply:
``Randy, This is very intriguing, surely a MW harmonic, which have
become quite rare on the 2 MHz band, from domestic or international.
Could be 1290 x 2 or 860 x 3.

First, what Spanish possibilities are there in USA per NRC AM Log? On
1290, only three SS: KUOA Siloam Springs AR and KRGE Weslaco TX, but
both 24h; and WCHK Canton GA, sked not given but not a daytimer: close
to you should be ruled out before proceeding.

On 860: KNAI Phoenix AZ, 24h; WDMG Douglas GA 24h; and that`s it.

Mexico? IRCA Log has 5 on 860, 24h, or 24h? or not *0800; only 2 on
1290 and no sked matches; need further clues to be worth pursuing XE
further.

https://www.ircaonline.org/editor_upload/File/2022-23_IRCA_Mexican_Log.pdf

The `early` 0800 UT s/on may imply an easterly timezone like UT-4 as
in PR, Venezuela; or even UT-3 as in Argentina and Uruguay, but truly
a *long* shot. Could be anywhere in Latin America. But lasting until
your sunrise indicates not much further east. WRTH 2022 shows no PR or
Ven on 1290; no PR on 860 but two YVs which may or may not still
exist.

I did an exhaustive search of my archives on 2580 and found a few:
Dec 21, 2020, I had a JBA carrier at 2319, harmonic suspected.
From 2004y! In a long list of Brazilian harmonix:

`2580 22/06 0050 B, R. Novo tempo, São José do Rio Preto - SP,
programa evangélico (QRG de origem, 1290) 33333
Local das escutas: Zona Rural de Itatiaiuçu - MG
Receptor: Yaesu FRG - 100; Antenas: Beverage 100 metros e super KAZ
(Wilson Rodrigues, Itaúna MG, @tividade DX via DXLD)`

But you are probably sure it`s Spanish, not Portuguese. If you have
some brief clips which may contain any ID or local clues, we`d be glad
to listen to them. I try to be asleep by 0800 but not always, so maybe
can check for it. 73, Glenn``

His next reply:
``Glenn, Thank you for the detailed info. Every night I have checked
the two fundamental frequencies and have heard nothing that sounds
like the 2580 station, So if it is a harmonic, the fundamental
frequency is coming from outside my "hearing" range - which is quite
possible.

The last time (not counting Vanuatu) that I made and recorded solid ID
on a harmonic was for a domestic US station on 800 kHz (2400 kHz 3rd
harmonic) and that station was not identifiable here on the
fundamental.

Here is that recording:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6mnZT-jTwE

I have logged and recorded positive ID on numerous MW stations in the
Caribbean and Central America. The furthest South with solid ID made /
recorded from my QTH was from South America: Bogotá, Colombia.

Spanish or Portuguese? I find it quite easy to confuse the two on weak
signals but I believe I've heard enough distinctly Spanish words
spoken and have fair confidence it is Spanish. The programming content
does not sound like a US Spanish station at all. Nor any Mexican
station that I have heard previously.

The programming "sounds" almost Andean - heavy on "native" sounding
flute music. Large spoken segments of programming include a featured
speaker/hosts talking over flute music. This is a big part of the
broadcasts that I've heard so far. Much of the music played - without
talking over - is also flute based "Andean" sounding music.

My recordings are not clear enough yet to bother you with but I have
many hours to sift through yet. When I find something I will
definitely pass it along.

Fade out well before local my (observable) sunrise - a big clue - if
this station was West or even due North/South I would expect fade at
or after my local SR. Radio Tarma from Peru (4775 kHz) does a similar
type fade out here in the morning.

Tonight at my sunset not even detecting a carrier. When I think I have
some audio clean enough to share I will forward that to you. Best
regards, Randy``

My next reply:
``Well, there are several 1290s in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru:
https://www.mwlist.org/mwlist_quick_and_easy.php?area=4&kHz=1290
WRTH 2022 also had 3 in Bolivia. Earlier this evening I tried 2580 on
Chile, Argentina KiwiSDRs. Nothing. Unfortunately there are none
further north in the Andean countries. Glenn``

Then Gary Pence, KM5X, reports on Feb 26: ``Hi Glenn, I could hear
2580 in Dallas SDR and the omni in VT, good one for down south. Could
not on Utah East ant Or KFS southeast or Brazil or Argentina, which
kinda rules out South America. Best copy is found so far from SDR
Maurice, Louisiana. I Recorded a little starting at 1059Z and on 2580
it also shows about 14 or 15 Hz low. If it`s not primary freq, it
might the 3rd harmonic of 860 or 2nd Harm. On 1290 khz I checked
Louisiana SDR since it was the strongest so far, but there was an
excess of three stations heard on those two frequencies when comparing
with the cadence of 2580 I couldn't verify. I think this station is in
Southeast USA or Mexico. 73s, Gary``

I could not make much out of it but I forwarded his clip to the RealDX
iogroup. So far, no replies there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9510v, Feb 26 at 1549, that hummy open carrier, S2/S3
with split-second breaks. First time heard in daytime instead of
nightmiddle, but is it something local to me? NO! I also get the same
sound at 1559 on the Maryland SDR, but not Missouri or California

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Feb 25 at 2016, tune-in via
Argentine remote, just in time to hear CW ID and voice SS late sign/on
of LRA36, another test broadcast until 18h Arg. i.e. only half a
sesquihour to 21z; 2017 live opening with contact info. Later Uniendo
Voces program, no mention yet of ham activity from base as LU1ZV.
Maybe will have more in my next report? This remote is already
occupied with all 4 RX on LRA36, S9, so I add to the campers (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 530, Feb 25 at 0742, EZL music so R. Enciclopedia
is back on tonight after absence last night; QRM presumably CHLO
Toronto in unknown language, but intonation sounds sorta Brazilian.
Overnight sked not published (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU. 4810, Ron Howard replies to my log of JBA carrier presumed R.
Logos:

``Hi Glenn - Here is some additional info:
https://ethnoma.org/partners/ethnicradio

Radio Logos broadcasts programs in eleven of the 17 languages in the
listening area. Among them: Bora, Junicui, Ticuna, Pastaza, Quechua,
and Achuar.

Radio Logos’ shortwave transmission broadcasts the gospel into the
neighboring department of Loreto - Peru’s largest and most remote
region. It is comprised of thousands of miles of dense jungle, flood
plains, and numerous rivers, including the mighty Amazon itself. The
broadcast has even reached parts of Brazil and Ecuador!

** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat Feb 25 from 0100, WBCQ, a new `AAAWWW` and
right from the start Allan is in a big rant, sounds really mad about
everything, yet all framed as a prayer to his deity. I`ve never heard
him before so upset. Denounces Putin and other authoritarians, but
also denounces Pres. Biden as a ``puppet`` --- that implies there must
be a puppet master, but he never identifies that; not sure I want to
know. Anyhow thinx world would be in a much better situation if T****
were still in power. Angela occasionally chimes in support. I let
myself listen to this diatribe for a semihour before switching to
someone I agree with 100% at 0130 on WRMI 5850. Recheck 0150 now
skimming a new Free Radio Weekly, which arrived in time since this is
an off-week for alternating editor Turnick. Mostly he just names
pirate and frequency without much further detail such as time or
reporter, so not much use to casual listener, and besides, pirates are
notoriously frequency-flexible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1170, special MW DX test scheduled from WDFB, a 1 kW
direxional daytimer in Junxion City near Danville KY for Sat Feb 25 at
0501-0701 UT. This will be tough to OK with KTSB Tulsa 50 kW directly
in the way, unnullable. First I check near remotes to confirm whether
it`s really on the air. Closest at Lexington KY gets nothing on 1170!
Knoxville TN: W8BUG which I once found useful, gets it neither, but
another in K-town, KB5AG, succeeds, so I stay on it for a while. At
0510, continuous tone, then sweeps upward, a sure sign of a DX test
even without an ID.

Unfortunately we have to listen to an 1170 gospel huxter at same time,
suspected Brother Scare on WWVA OH. TOMBS sked shows at 11 pm-midnight
only, 04-05 UT. WWVA site, can`t find any full program sked: they must
be ashamed of anything but a few major talkshows hilited. At first
sounds much like BS but can`t make a match to 7570 even considering
way out of synch. At 0514 I first hear definite Morse code IDs as VVV
VVV VVV DE WDFB - repeated maybe 5 times. As a Christian station,
preaching was planned to be mixed with the test tones etc.; if so, I
never heard any nor vocal IDs, maybe indistinguishable from the QRM.

1170 has two major 50 kW occupants, WWVA Wheeling WV with site in OH;
and KTSB Tulsa OK. Each of them protects the other at night, leaving a
mid-continent gap occupied by many minor stations from MN to FL,
mostly daytimers, or if at night, low power and direxional. At 0518 I
try direct on my E/W longwire and R75. KTSB is not the powerhouse you
would expect for 50 kW direxional west; less than 200 km away, maybe
too close for much skywave, and there is QRM from others. At 0518 I
first try for WDFB direct: maybe, a 1 kHz tone, but nothing
recognizable as Morse code or sweeps which would have clinched it even
without a callsign ID. One more try direct at 0630-0635: at first I
think I hear a tone vs stupid sports talk on The Blitz. Not enough to
be definite and of course I will not seek a QSL nor would I want one.

Everything else in this report is via the Knoxville remote: 0528 code
and sweeps up; 0531 tone; 0532 VVV ID as above. 0533 sweeps up; 0534
step tones upward, then sweeps up; 0540 fast Morse code, again 0551.
0611 sweeps up; 0612 phone-off-hook noise; 0613 fast Morse, VVV IDs
again; 0620 fast Morse as I turn off the computer. Tnx for the test,
anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
