** BOUVET ISLAND. 21225 USB, Feb 8 at 1635, big ham DXpedition is on
air, 3Y0J. Working stations as fast as possible, which means uttering
call of contact and signal report. ONLY OCCASIONALLY utters own
callsign, heard at 1639, 1654. I think: could have been a contact
saying it. I again object to typical DXpedition protocols. Callers see
no need to call the station by name: they just keep saying their own
calls. IMO, no contact should be complete without BOTH stations saying
the call of the other, followed by ``this is`` or ``from`` their own
call, every time! So it takes a few more seconds: live with it.

Further problems: 3Y0J often QRMed by stations calling him on same
frequency. Others without IDing themselves often interject ``up
five!`` and then some other others swear at them for doing that. All
this I was hearing via the Campo SDR in Brasil. The TWR S Africa SDR
was tied up on 10115, evidently the CW frequency of 3Y0J, I did not
try to copy, but I bet they still sent ``DE`` to make it clear who is
who. At 1652 could not hear 3Y0J direct on 21225 but occasional
interlopers and most activity by callers on 21230 where they are
supposed to be (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 410 kHz, Feb 8 at 1633, IG, ND beacon via Campo SP SDR as I
bring it up to reach Bouvet, already tuned here. Classaxe RNA shows IG
is at Guarulhos SP nearby, but not listed by dxinfocentre.com (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 11875.083V, Feb 8 at 0753, African language S9+10 but
varying audibly as I try to measure it. RFI Fulani this semihour from
Issoudun, altho CRI in Mandarin also listed. MUF from Europe has
ascended. Way off frequency but in unlikely event NASWA log editor
pick this item, he will lop off the numbers right of the decimal
making this nonsensical; anti-accuracy (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846, Feb 8 at 0803, no JBA carrier detectable from R.
Kiribati; since it`s Wednesday? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Feb 8 at 0745, S8/S9 of dead air from VON.
Something`s nullified in Nigeria (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, Wed Feb 8 at 2300, token English from REE direct, VG
here on ME frequency off the back, as good as 9690 toward NAm. Also on
weaker 11940 SAm, AND much weaker 11685 Af, all four transmitters on
air for a change. At 2258 tune-ins, 11685 // 12030 and separately
11940 // 9690. Subject after news is interview about a large
audio-visual trade show in Barcelona completed a few days ago (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 8 before and after 2300, no signal direct from
VOT English to N America; so I listen to simulSpain. It does not take
a disaster for TRT to go missing. But by 2336 recheck, Turkish music
inbooming to UTwente, +001 Hz, S9+40/45. 2339 ``VOT, always by your
side`` promo, and 2340 `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring` topic the
benefits of carrots - for at least the third time! Good for eye
health. 2353 s/off as if it were the 1330 broadcast, IS and stays on
with German IDs, 0000 Feb 9 opening German, news; soft/sad music by
0010. Still German past 0030. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler
and/or awry at Ankara. BTW, maybe missed some, but have never heard
KURDISTAN or Kurds in any sense in connexion with the EQ, mentioned by
TRT nor any of the major news media. No doubt Erdogan would be pleased
if as many of the victims as possible were Kurds. It would be
interesting to understand how Dengê Welat is covering this (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2176 monitoring: ``From: Richard Lemke, St.

** U S A [and non]. 730v, Feb 8 before and after 0700 UT, mixture of
Korean talk and English rock music -- what else but KKDA Grand Prairie
TX = The Metroplex, and XEX México CDMX, which is mainly W Deportes,
sports but always heard with English rock music instead overnight. On
a household AM/FM radio not normally for DXing but positioned such
that it favors N/S paths, Panasonic RF569D made in Singapore,
inherited from my late aunt. Not sure of the 6 and 9, numbers hard to
read as imprinted. Yes, that`s it, as another illustrated on eBay for
$ 20.

KKDA is 500 watts, somewhat direxional northward at night to protect
XEX. Originally a superpower station, XEX now only 60 kW day and night
per WRTH 2022; and IRCA Mexican Log, with nothing about it being
anything but 24h sports. Much of the time the signals are equal here,
producing a SAH of about 7 Hz, by the
rapid-counting-as-seconds-tick-by-on-my-watch method. MWoffsets shows
them 9.43 Hz apart:
729.9889 MEX XEX W Deportes (México D.F/Col. El Vergel)
[729.9877-729.9907] 24h 2021-01-03
729.99833 USA KKDA (Grand Prairie, TX) 2017-08-03
However, at the max XEX variation, the apartness would be only 7.63
Hz; altho the measurements were 3.42 years apart.

Radio-locator says KKDA is Radio Korea, DKnet, address in Dallas:
https://dalkora.com/bbs/main.php?gid=radio
Format as ``Asian`` but really Korean only? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Feb 8 at 0746, JBA presumed R. Vanuatu, still not
changing to 3945 and multiples at 0700. Nothing on 7890, but some weak
2-way on 7889 USB. No 11835 either. Gary Pence agrees: ``Hi Glenn, Was
listening to Vanuatu at ToH 0700z which they remained on 7260 with
[no] QSYing at ToH. Sent [me .wav of] the first 2 minutes at
07z-0702z from ZL1KFM where they were S9+15db and at KFS SW rSDR
H.M. Bay, CA, they were S9 signal on 7260. At 0711z still on 7260. No

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Tue Feb 7 at 1945, LRA36 is on again
with songs, S4/S5 into Argentine remote. Tnx to Horacio Nigro for
advance notice a few hours earlier of another extra broadcast at 2000.
2002 standard s/on, multi-lingual disclaimer; 2003 scripted piece
about Malvinazando, joint produxion with RAE. 2005 contact info; 2007
mentions LU1ZV ham operation from Esperanza Base. Now I`m also getting
it slightly better via Brasil remote, S4/S7. But not really interested
in content somehow connecting the failed Falklands war 40+ years ago
with current Antarctic hegemony. At one point interviews a woman who
set foot on Malvinas while Argentina held it and talking about LRA60
which briefly replaced FIBS. 2039 song.

2045 seems to start the whole thing over with RAE multi-lang ID, 2046
``s/on``, 2046 scripted Malvinazando piece; 2048 `Uniendo Voces``
jointly with RAE and some Universidad Nacional whose name I still
don`t catch; contact info. 2102 about LRA60. Recording of it 2 April
1982, IDs in Spanish and English and a snippet of Arg. national
anthem. 2118 song at S5/S9; 2129 ID, more music past 2136 when I
de-remote, but by 2140 reconfirm on two direct receivers zero signals
at all. Would not be surprised if further emissions ensue on daily
notices; Wed 1500 used to be a prime time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Feb 7 at 0722, S9+10 of dead RHC air or trace of
modulation? No, that would be understation RFI in Hausa via FRANCE at
0700-0730.

11670, Feb 7 at 0723, this RHC is also on way beyond schedule,
S9+20/30 in Spanish. None heard in 5, 6 or 10 MHz bands. Somethings`
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN [non]. 12035, Feb 7 at 0719, songs S9/+20 direct, and soon
hearing same much weaker on // 12005. Per EiBi, both R. Farda via
GERMANY, 12035 Lampertheim at 0400-0730, 12005 Biblis at 0630-1800. No
sign of any jamming, as apparently Iran does not try to block it, why
not? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846, Feb 7 at 0733, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati and no
other 9/kHz splits. Gary Pence, KM5X, confirms hearing it as early as
0400 tonight via Oahu remote (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KUWAIT. 12110, Feb 7 at 0717, SW Asian language at S7/9+10 direct,
usually no such propagation. It`s USAGM`s Mashaal Radio in Pashto for
Pakistan per EiBi at 0400-1300 (Glenn Hauer, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 7 at 2349, VOT English not tuned in direct until
now but confirming active today, and to here no CCCCCCI to bother it,
S9+10/20 with sad Turkish song. 2351 multi-lingual 2-minute ID filler
reel; 2353 s/off as if this were at 1330 only, brief IS to 2355*
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler, awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2176 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday February 7 at 0137 the 0130 on WRMI 9395, VG S9/+10 direct.

Also confirmed UT Wednesday February 8 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, VG
S9+20/35 into Missouri SDR. As always at this time, Midnight Cry
Ministries chopped off for WRMI ID at 0029.5 before they can finish

UNIDENTIFIED. 7655-7705 approx., Feb 7 at 0727, noise hump, suspected
