** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wed Feb 1 at 1857, LRA36 already on
with songs: a special test for 1900-1945 previewed via Horacio Nigro
as early as 1431. (I had not even bothered to check at 1500.):

``Adrian Korol advises that "Today there will be a test broadcast of
LRA36 Radio Nacional Arcangel San Gabriel at 16:00 Argentine time (19
UTC) on 15476 khz USB for 45 minutes".``

I`m on one of the Argentine remotes which is getting it at the usual
level, S9 peaks, not bad for 200 watts, but never overcoming the
``frying sound`` background noise level.

1900 Morse code too fast for me but presumably ID, and standard vocal
s/on as ``Radio San Gabriel``, never mind the Nacional and the
Arcángel, multilingual that will be only in Spanish; 1901 a reading
about looking southward from Patagonia; `Uniendo Voces` program
slogan; 1903 live OM as joint produxion with RAE/AAM, credits to
Nicole and Adrián; contact info. Bit of music; efemérides = this week
in history starting with 31 Jan 1909y; 1908 ``cultura es soberanía``;
1912 canción; 1916 ID as Radio Arcángel San Gabriel --- too much
trouble to utter the full five-word name?? ``su cía``; phone tones,
``comunicad``, multilingual RAE ID reel. 1917 about carrying out
pruebas, contact info again. 1918 saludos from various voices; then
long talk about history of Antarctic bases, military operations; 1933
song; 1936 about memoria, but chopped off mid-sentence at 1937.5*
never to return for another dekaminute I listened to the noise. Next,
on Sat at 1500? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIZUELA [and non?]. 4941-4945 approx., Feb 1 at 0720, strange
noise peak accompanying 4940 SS gospel huxter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, Feb 1 at 0714 S9+10/20 of silence, the one RHC
transmitter still on, no others on 5, 6, 10, 11 or 13 MHz bands; vying
for dead-air sweepstakes with WRMI, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, Jan 31 at 1800 UT, KUCO-FM with no StarDate,
instead WFMT teaser. O, as website explains due to icy roads staff are
not coming in today, rather plugging in to a network feed, which also
means they cannot manage local insertions of Modules; yet the
still-original website has finally updated the Module skeds:
https://www.kucofm.com/programs/list-of-modules/
Same situation Feb 1 at 1800 UT, no StarDate on KUCO, so get it at
1804 on KANU / Kansas Public Radio (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Feb 1 at 2302, token English from REE in news,
S9+5/18 into Virginia SDR // 12030 and 11940 weakers but usables and
nothing on 11670. News ends with latest COVID figures from different
regions in Spain. 2306 an interview with Yolanda about sustainability,
hard to follow due to accent vs noisy reception (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960, Feb 1 at 2300, no signal from VOT into UTwente.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler; at first no signal either
from XJPBS, Urumqi, East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom
genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems, but it`s on and modulating
Chinese by 2311, still alone at 2330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2175 monitoring: ``From: Richard
Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening
Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the
trees. Dear Glenn: Confirming World of Radio #2175, WRMI:

9395, slight QRN, 0130, 0144, 0159 (45543), (55433), 0158, Jan 31
[Tue]
9395, 0031, 0054 (55343), (45343), 0058, February 1 UTC 2023 [Wed]
5850, overslept, 1029, February 1 UTC 2023 [Wed] (Lemke, Richard
-AB)``

I am disappointed that none of the hundreds of WOR iog members, many
of whom are in awake timezones at 1030, checked that 5850 broadcast,
despite my repeated requests. It had been replaced on the WRMI
skedgrid, but was still heard for at least one week. Once again I need
to zzz thru it.

Confirmed UT Wednesday February 1 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+22/25 into
Missouri SDR.

Also confirmed Wednesday February 1 starting at 2200:20 on WBCQ
7489.94, S9/S6 direct. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid, OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4980, Feb 1 at 0715, S9+30 of silence from WRMI which should
have finished by 0500; vying for the dead-air sweepstakes with RHCuba,
q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5935 & 4840, Feb 1 at 0713 & 0718 chex, WWCRs are OFF, along
with 5890 & 3215 which are normally mostly off overnight except
weekends. Icy weather? Checking Nashville airport NWS hourly
conditions: at 0553 & 0653 overcast; but at 0453 & earlier, had been
freezing rain. Next check at 1630, all are on nominally, 9980, 12160,
13845 and with sporadic-E boost, 15825 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890, Feb 1 at 0716, JBA carrier from R. Vanuatu X 2 but
none making it on X 3 = 11835; likewise 13755 NZ is but a JBA carrier
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA 9/kHz split MW carrier search, Feb 1
at 0218: 684, 774-2, 855-2, 909, 999, 1089, 1107-2, 1125, 1296. These
correlate with Spain or UK, most likely closest edges of Europe. Glad
to hear 684 unlike later scans, likely what`s left of Sevilla; which
in the meantime I see is still routinely logged in Europe (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA 9/kHz split MW carrier search, Feb 1
at 0725: 684, 837, 855-2, 1116-2, all likely Spain. Still no 846 TP
Kiritimati; has anyone confirmed it lately? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5955, Feb 1 at 0713, JBA carrier where normally nothing
but Cuban pulse jamming against nothing. Only listee in EiBi & Aoki is
Sunlite, Holland, at 0500-1500, 500 watts with irregular test
transmissions as of WRTH 2022. BTW, the new WRTH 2023 is about to
start shipping (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL [and non]. 6170, Jan 31 at 0730, JBA carrier from presumed
R. Saturno. First time I have detected it since a few days ago it was
reported reactivated here, ex-6150.

EiBi & Aoki, not yet up with it on 6170, indicate these windows when
North Korea, Ascension, Philippines are NOT on 6170: 2050-0200,
0300-0500, 0530-1000. And disregarding R. Europa, Holland, lowpower
possibly 24h; and Scandinavian Weekend Radio, Finland, at certain
hours once almost every month, including Feb 3-4, ON at 22-14 &
18-22.

Saturno was a rare newcomer to SW, not even making WRTH 2022 on 6150.
It was first reported Oct 31, 2021 by Bryan Clark, NZ: a Belo
Horizonte 92.3 FM station adding SW. Again tnx to Bryan who heard it
on 6170 Jan 28, 2023, ex-6150 where heard on Jan 22, and Brazilians
first reported 6170 on Jan 24. Further chex here needed! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 2598 USB, Jan 31 at 0737, marine weather by roboyl for
Grand Banx area, S8. 2749 USB not on yet but at 0740 with more of same
on weaker signal, i.e. first broadcasts of day from 2598, 3 kW VCP-4
at Placentia, Newfoundland; and 2749, 0.5 kW VCO Sydney, Nova Scotia.
BTW, nowhere on the extensive dxinfocentre.com/mb roster are there any
VCP-1, -2 of -3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Jan 31 at 0732, RHC S9+10 with maybe a trace of
modulation while all its 5, 6 and 10 MHz frequencies are off.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 9650, Jan 31 at 0735, S5 of choral music, no doubt VOK
Japanese as scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 17730, Jan 31 at 1622, S7/S9 algo JBM: listed is AWR in
Marathi to India via Talata (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 31 at 0733, no signal from VON; was it on
earlier today? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.000+, Jan 31 at *2259 carrier on over BBC
Oman promo until its 2259.5*. Bit of music, dead air. 2300, 4+1
timesignal and Chinese! s/on of XJPBS Urumqi, no sign of VOT. XJPBS
carrier may be on by 2300 but usually does not start modulating until
about 2311. But VOT has come on late, S9+40 by next check 2307 with
news in progress, on 5960.002+, both as measured by UTwente Synch. The
+ means constantly fluxuating in the hundredths of a Hz, not clear
whether of the transmitters, receiver, or both. VOT continues well
atop XJPBS as an undercurrent.

2314 `Review of the Turkish Press`, not in any depth as usual. 2316
song. 2320 `Weekly Commentary`, by a freelance journalist in Berlin
whose name I cannot copy, read by the heavily-accented woman
announcer, about anti-American sentiment in Germany, foot-dragging on
aiding Ukraine with some faxions wanting to maintain close relations
with Russia. Implies that it`s in US` interest to escalate the war!
Closing with disclaimer about opinions, name again I cannot
understand, and invites listeners to submit their own commentaries by
email for possible broadcast.

2329 music. 2336 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2338 music. 2344 recipe
for a pastry in `Turkey`s Geo-something Products`. 2346 multi-lingual
ID filler reel *again*. 2348 music. 2353 s/off with full but jumbled
English sked. 2354 IS. 2356 restart IS with German IDs interspersed.
0000 Feb 1, 5+1 timesignal, same pitch but final pip prolonged, and
s/on German, into news. Finally cuts off at 0010 uncovering XJPBS.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565, Jan 31 at 1558, K6FRC, Patterson CA, 1.8 mW HIFER
beacon is JBA with calls repeating, QRMing CODAR (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2175 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday January 31 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+30 into Missouri SDR,
S9+20/30 direct. Next:

0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035 USB [low power]
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW [canceled? please check if awake]

** VANUATU. 11835, Jan 31 at 0731, R. Vanuatu is S8/S9 with drumming
and announcements on 3 x 3945, while that and X 2 on 7890 not checked.
As to be expected, NZ 13755 also with VG signal now (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-oceanic JBA 9/kHz split MW carrier search, Jan 31
at 0739: unusually, none at all heard: getting too late and/or
high-latitude TA paths suppressed? and TP Kiritimati maybe off? While
on SW, NZ 13 and Vanuatu 11 MHz coming in very well (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
