** BRAZIL. 9666v, Feb 25 at 0735, NO signal from RVM, normally always
there overnight as it drifts upward toward 9667. Must be off (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, Feb 25 at 0733, S9+30 of dead air in English on RHC;
6060 also still on air, but S9+20/10 of DA except for some hum. Also
still on at 0743 is 5040 in Spanish, S9+20, too bad for Vanuatu.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 9525.005, Feb 25 at 0406, via UTwente, S9+5/15 of
martial choral music with few announcements. At first I expected Dengê
Welat as previously scheduled here, but conclude it must be the
Turkish jammer. It also has a slight squeal which is a defect of at
least one Emirler transmitter, tho certainly not the only such
station. Still going at 0424; past 0500 weakening some until cut off
at 0530*.

7350, Feb 25 at 0409, mostly talk in presumed Kurdish, really Dengê
Welat here now as scheduled 0330-0600 via Issoudun, FRANCE. Mentions
Ukraine and Russia. No jamming but ACI from 7355 Martí in Spanish,
even at UTwente. Meanwhile nothing on 9550, one of four new DW relays
via Bulgaria per Ivo, that one only at 1700-1900.

EiBi shows DW and Turkish jammer on 9525 both at 1600-2100 only; while
Aoki shows 9525 jamming not until *0500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.016, Feb 25 from 2301, VOT English is VG
S9+35 into UTwente. It`s Friday so I have to decide whether to listen
to this or Spainglés on 9690 - billboard there says feature will be
about ILO, which sounds pretty boring, onward to Ankara. Partial notes
for the hour: 2312 the COVID 19 PSA, with good advice but *still*
claiming that ``a vaccine is yet to be found``! At 2328 `Feeling
Supreme`, this episode about tachycardia, fortunately a word I can
recognize despite the heavily-accented YL. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler: transmission breaks off in the middle of it,
2329*-*2332 by when she is talking about remedies such as lavender,
cinnamon. May I suggest further reading about tachycardia first such
as what Mayo Clinic has to say. 2344 the outro for `Did You Know
That?` about whatever I will knever know. Then the 2-minute
multi-lingual ID loop filler; 2346 sign-off enumerating in rather
jumbled order the English times and frequencies; announcer obviously
not understanding what he is reading, e.g. ``in the 49 meter band and
on 6125...`` The ``and`` does not belong since that implies they are
separate things. Also still claims the 22-23 and 03-04 broadcasts are
recorded, i.e. the summer not winter timings. Something`s always awry
at Ankara. Another version admits that all the airings after 1330? are
repeats so don`t expect Breaking News. Then into IS loop but cuts off
air at 2352.7* before any German. Uncovering the CCCCCCI which had
been just an undercurrent from Xinjiang PBS, standard denunciation.
Thruout VOT there was breakup/crackling more than once a minute, not
clear whether problem at transmitter or UTwente receiver or in
between. Since it`s still happening to the ChiCom, we can now rule out
an Emirleric cause (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2127 monitoring: confirmed first
airings UT Friday February 25 at 0130 on WRMIs: UTwente maxed out at
750 users, unavailable, but 7780 S9+15 into Maryland SDR; 5850
S9+25/30 into Missouri SDR.

Also confirmed UT Fri Feb 25 at 0330 on WRMI 5985, S9+10/20 into Boa
Vista, Brasil SDR, S9 into Knoxville, both with jamming ACI from 5980
unless narrowed.

NOT confirmed Fri Feb 26 at 1530 on WRMI 9955; gospel music instead at
1554 check direct. Without notice, but WOR still appears on the
program skedgrid, along with 5 other DX/Media programs at 1530 every
day except Sat TOMBS Sabbath. Are they gone too? This strip only
started circa December 10.

NOT confirmed either Fri Feb 25 at 1915 on IRRS 7290 via Bulgaria. No
signal at all into Carlow, Eire SDR while UTwente is still maxed out.
This 19-20 UT transmission was missing already Feb 18, a 3rd Fri when
WOR would have been pre-empted anyway, a fluke? But Feb 25, we see
that 7290 has disappeared completely without notice from the
IRRS/NEXUS-IBA schedules -- at least the days that will load, not
including Thu, Sat, Sun. Are the other few IRRS SW segments gone too?
With nothing but MW 1323 still added to streaming daily at 18-22 UT
including the WOR times of Fri 1915, Fri 2130, and presumably Sun
2100; the only SW still exhibited is 15400 at 1600-1630 for Oromo
National Media.

1323 monitoring at nearby Noale SDR Fri Feb 25, S9+5/10: 1901, usual
Feature Story News in progress, 1905 UN News, 1908 music fill ---
generally atop German from Romania, but at 1910 AM Italia fades down
and Romania up; by 1915, AM Italia redominates with IRRS ``SW``! ID
and right into WOR 2127, confirmed. Also confirmed Fri Feb 25 at 2130
on 1323, S9+10 with little QRM after Scottish music and IRRS address.
Does not seem any stronger than before but this vague claim of
increased power for Ukraine, a notice Feb 25 from Ron Norton via Alan
Pennington, BDXC-UK:

``Hello There from NEXUS-IBA and IRRS in Milano, Italy! You have
undoubtedly heard the latest news about the Russian invasion of
Ukraine today. It has almost continuous coverage on Radio and TV in
Europe as of this morning, and it makes everyone worried about the
consequences for European stability. Just in case you hear from
someone interested in Russia and Ukraine in these difficult moments,
you should know that we have increased our power on 1323 kHz, and we
can reach these regions with a fantastic signal also on AM/Medium
Wave.

We increased our special news coverage, adding repeats of the most
informative and inspirational programs in English from 7 PM to 11 PM
Central European Time to support displaced people and cover the latest
events. On AM/Medium Wave 1323 kHz, we broadcast daily from
19:00-23:00 CET...`` Well, I doubt it reach Ukraine very well as long
as Romania be in the way, but that closes earlier than 2100 UT.

** U S A. 9950 & 9960, Feb 25 at 0732, TOMBS cult parasitic spurs are
quite audible at S1/S2 out of very strong S9+20 9955 WRMI (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490.1v), UT Sat Feb 26 at 0100, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`

= Kannada for S Asia (Glenn Hauser, OK,WOR)

** GUAM. 15530.040, Thu Feb 24 at 1539, off-frequency in unknown
language. KSDA scheduled this semihour only on Thu & Fri only in Bod
dialect of Tibetan, other days English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW kHz, Feb 24 at 0740 UT, PN, 25-watt NDB at Ponca
City, is OFF again; sporadic. It might make sense to turn on only when
incoming flight requests, except 25 watts is hardly significant for
power saving (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TIBET [non]. 12125, Feb 24 at 1542, S9/+10 in tonal Asian language:
scheduled RFA in Bod dialect of Tibetan, this hour only, 100 kW at 296
degrees from TINIAN. Amazingly good here way offbeam, no CNR1 jamming
unless really a jammer not in Chinese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K [non?]. 15735, Feb 24 at 1536, S7-S9 in English about Ukraine;
new unlisted BBCWS frequency also reported by others until 1600*. HFCC
shows Tashkent was registered at 1300-1530, but this is probably
Woofferton. Look out for more BBCWS additions (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11620, Feb 24 at 1544, algo VG but off at 1545* before I
can monitor further. Nothing scheduled at this hour after KSDA at
1400-1500. IIRC, 11620 used to be an All India Radio channel but not
listed now. Searching EiBi and Aoki on -1545 can find a number of
stations and transmissions on other frequencies ending at this odd
hour, so maybe a new frequency for one of: FEBA Radio Pakistan in
Pashto via Moldova; NHK Urdu via UAE; TWR Somali, and Arabic via
Eswatini; Bangladesh Betar in Hindi; KTWR in Korean (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wed Feb 23 at 1522 tune-in: both
Brasília SDRs are offline; at Pardinho is JBA, but Campo gets S2 from
LRA36: music and talk; 1528 ``Nacional Antártida Argentina, en todo el
país, la radio pública`` --- I assume they think this is relayed all
over Argentina on the Nacional network: is that true? Music and
talkbits alternate, frequent IDs. 1533 ``Radio Nacional Arcángel San
Gabriel`` ID; 1536 ``Nacional, la radio pública``. 1541 something
about Poland. 1543 email, song mentioning Esperanza but not the
themesong, never heard today. 1546 LRA36 & RNASG IDs.

BTW, it`s 10 degrees F in Enid, colder than Esperanza? Yes, much! See
https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/antarctica/esperanza-base
checked at 1740 UT, it`s a balmy +40 F there, melting. But at South
Pole it`s minus 50 F, whew! And guess from which direxion the wind is
blowing? North! Back to my logging:

1555 LRA36 & RNASG IDs. 1558 email, historical talk. Now it`s peaking
at S3. 1601 ID, efemérides, = historical/anniversary items, something
from the 1800s, more likely about continental Argentina than this
outpost. 1612 email, 15476. 1614 song with birdchirps. 1616 NAA, LRP
IDs. 1620 ID, song. 1623 the SDR times out after one hour. Check
Corral one in Argentina, JBA; nothing at LU4AA; 1625 nothing at west
Iceland; 1626 nothing at Montevideo. Maybe have just signed off, as
it`s high time. 1627 Pardinho check: only S8 noise level! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, Feb 23 at 0718, only RHC still on but S9+10 of nothing
but hum. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9899.608+, Feb 23 at 2124, R. Cairo, S9+30 into UTwente with
extreme distortion, presumed English, totally unreadable. Something
remains egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Feb 23 at 0553, definite carrier already,
surely R. Kiribati a sesquihour after London sunset, rather than
anything TA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185-, Feb 23 at 0713, XEPPM with song in English about
monkeys with droning bassline, S9/+10 and better modulation than
usual. Eclectic music format and sometimes listenable. Always slightly
off-frequency-minus but not measured, compared e.g. to 6155 Austria.
Last report Feb 13 from Gianni Serra, Italy, put it on 6184.97 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW kHz, Feb 23 at 0551, PN, 25-watt NDB at PoNca
City is back on after latest outage; was still off during day Feb 22
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Feb 23 at 2307 after the news, REE token triweekly
English semihour N American frequency is not off the air, others not
checked as I`m tuned for content via VG Maryland remote: by Amy Egan
about Rosalía de Castro, Galician poet who promoted the Gallego
language which had been denigrated. Her collexion `Cantares Gallegos`
also set to music with some examples. Interview clips in Castilian
handled the right way, minimizing voice-overing into English (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.017+, Feb 23 at 2300, VOT English is not off the air
today, VG via UTwente, but at first I`m mainly listening to
simulSpain. ToH timesignals about 2 seconds apart. 2315 plays same
commentary as yesterday by the PhD student at Exeter about ``US
provoked Russia in order to maintain its global primacy`` --- huh??
Enough of that. Yet I get the impression that Turkey is siding with
Ukraine. Recheck 2354, already in IS, this time with English IDs,
rapid SAH and off at 2356* before it can switch to German, uncovering
PBS Xinjiang, East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide
against Uyghurs and other Moslems. If I were listening from within N
America, there would be less CCCCCCI from it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2126 monitoring: ``From: Richard Lemke, St.

** EGYPT. 9899.607, Feb 22 at 2156, R. Cairo very strong into UTwente,
slightly less suptorted than usual but still unlistenable. Something`s
always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE. 9420, Feb 22 at 2314, VOG is back on after missing a few
days, making us fear it`s gone for good. S9+10/15 with music into
UTwente, but lower modulation level than Türkiye 5960. It was first
reported reactivated today at 1945 by Richard Langley, NB (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.006, Feb 22 at 2317 via UTwente, VOT English
is on, but no guarantee it really started by 2300! S9+25/30 with

reel filler; 2321 ``Wavelength Commentary`` penned by ---, PhD
candidate at University of Exeter(?), titled ``US provoked Russia in
order to maintain its global primacy`` --- huh?? Enough of that. 2348
recheck IS plays after generic sign-off for several English times.
2356 fade-down IS and restart, now with German IDs interspersed. 2400
5+1 timesignal with that from CCCCCCI JBA underneath; sign-on in
German for the 1230 outsending which really is supposed to be on SW,
15270. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Before next recheck
2410, VOT is off uncovering PBS Xinjiang with CNR1 in imperialist
