Hauser
** CANADA. 258-MCW kHz, Feb 11 at 0720 UT, dash and ZSJ, 1000 watt NDB
at Sandy Lake, Ontario (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, Feb 12 at 0322, RHC discurso in Spanish, ex-6060 since
no signal there? QSY not a good idea due to splash from 6105 NHK via
FRANCE music. 6100 had been running only after 0500 in English. Now
it`s // stronger 9650, weaker 9535. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5910, Feb 12 at 0323, CRI English relay S9+30/40 but
suptorted, with country/rock songs in English about New Year - a
little late, or not: *this* is Chicom New Year, so they have coöpted
western music to celebrate! Despite bigsig here, still no recurrence
of the L&C second harmonic on 11820. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 000 kHz, Feb 11 circa 2110 UT, on the way back from our
#2 Moderna shot tnx to the fine nurses at Great Salt Plains Health in
Medford, we stop for a closer look at the suspected TIS mast, 9 miles
south of the T-junxion north of Enid of USs 81/64/60.

No, it`s not a TIS transmitter, rather an Oklahoma Department of
Transportation, Field Data Collexion sensor, but for what? Traffic
load counting instead of running over a hose, or something more
sophisticated? A few metres from the main mast there is another box
which may be related, as both are connected to a buried ATT line,
rather than any RF transmission. Some stills from video shot, no, not
in B&W but on a very grayday including a closeup of the sensor which
is mounted only halfway up the pole:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 257-MCW kHz, Feb 11 at 0717 UT, ND beacon FWC, 25 watts from
Fairfield - Wayne County, Illinois. I`m tuned to 255, noting that
near-local SW Stillwater OK is going into its third AWOL day [as are
341 EI Enid and 350 RG OKC]. FWC also mixing with something else, and
there are lots listed on 257 unlike 255. Fairfield is in SE IL, midway
between Mt Vernon and Mt Carmel. Distance 539 miles or 21.56 miles per
watt.

293-MCW kHz, Feb 11 at 0730 UT, 2- or 3-way mix of ND beacons at
almost same pitch, overlapping. One of them starts with U; other
letters copied are O, R and I. Therefore: UI Quincy, Illinois, 30
watts; and TOR, Torrington, Wyoming, 50 watts. Probably also in there
is the normally dominant one, FBY, Fairbury, Nebraska, 25 watts. I was
tuned to 291-USB, but BTW dxinfocentre.com shows there are *no*
Americans on 291 or 292, just one 25-watt Canadian each.

414-MCW kHz, Feb 11 at 0742 UT, ND beacon SU, 40 watts from SioUx
City, Iowa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

WORLD OF RADIO 2073 monitoring: confirmed UT Friday February 12 at
0130 on WRMIs, 5850 VG S9/+10 direct; 7780 JBA here but no doubt much
better eastward (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9975, Feb 12 at 0326, KVOH with preaching in English only
S5-S9, VP compared to 9955 WRMI with praise/xmas song at S9+20/30.
Something is strange here: the two are roughly the same distance, but
KVOH is aiming toward us and WRMI away from us (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA LW carrier search, Feb 11 at 0714 UT:
I hesitate to do this, as there are birdies all over the place, and
despite getting numerous 25-watt ND beacons from N America, superpower
LWBCs from Europe elude me. There could also be intracontinental
beacon traces above 200. I guess my R75 is not sensitive enough at the
low end and/or my mere ~100 foot longwire is too short.

Nevertheless I perform a scan and do find some: 162, 189, 198, 207
kHz. Those would correspond to: France, Iceland, UK, Iceland. But
there are also carriers on 218 and 224. WRTH 2021 page 526 shows these
are the only Eurafrican LWBCs left: 153, 162, 171, 189, 198, 207, 225,
234, 243, 252 kHz.

Feb 11 at a rather late 0745 UT quick check for any 9-kHzers on MW for
comparison: 774, 882, 1215 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search Feb 12 at 0259:
531, 558(2), 603, 612, 621, 657, 684(2), 693, 747, 774(2), 819,
837(2), 855(2), 864, 882, 891*, 909, 1053, 1089*, 1098(2), 1107,
1125(2), 1134, 1152, 1215, 1305; and a bit later at 0311, 1476.
*strongest; (2) at least two beating (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 233-MCW kHz, Feb 10 at 0706 UT, ND beacon BR, which is 200
watts from Brandon, Manitoba; did not note down a dash, but must have
been since it`s Canadian and no other BR`s listed around here (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15700, Feb 10 at 1605, CRI relay transmitter is still on,
wasting S9+30 of dead 250 kWh air; standard remark; something`s always
wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 240-MCW kHz, Feb 10 at 0707 UT, ND beacon EL, which is 400
watts from EL Paso, Texas. TX is a big and adjacent state but few NDBs
heard from there; lots more from Canada. Yet, dxinfocentre.com lists
56 of them not including Texarkana (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2072 monitoring: Wednesday February 10 at
1030 on WRMI 5850 confirmed by Richard Lemke, Alberta.

Also confirmed Wed Feb 10 at 2100 on WRMI 7780: theme JBA here vs HNL;
At 2106, VP S7 via UTwente, interrupted by irregular much louder
chirping. Good at Maine SDR, no chirping audible.

Also confirmed Wed Feb 10 from 2200:21 on WBCQ 7490.215, S8-S9 at
KB0FX SDR.

Also confirmed Wed Feb 10 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, S9+20/35 to Pardinho,
Brasil SDR, slight jamming audible, more so during fades.

Next and last:
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

Hauser
** BRAZIL. 4885, Feb 10 at 0300, no signal detectable from R. Clube do
Pará, which is normally reliable; could it be off? And/or the other ZY
on 4885, R. Dif. Acreana. By 0329 I`m checking 4885 on Bonaire
KiwiSDR, now with a good S7-S9 signal; and 5 auto-timepips at 0330,
0345, 0400 during a talk show first about vaccinations, then
Bolsonaro, Banco Central. Never heard an ID, not even at ToH. Are
those quarterly time signals a signature of Pará? I can`t get its
stream to play via 3 different routes for comparison. SDR in SAM mode
shows carrier offset varying plus 18-26 Hz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 11905-11910-11915-DRM, Feb 10 at 0143, Nacional FM 96.1
with music, 0145 ``Come Together`` in English, frequent IDs. At
Bonaire SDR it`s S8 but VG and sufficient SNR up to 13 dB, sufficient
for minimal dropouts, still 12.46 kbps. Journaline with no headline
rotation, just notice of DRM experimental (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4747 & 4782 approx., Feb 10 at 0259, extremely distorted
S9+10 spurblobs out of S9+20/30 4765 Radio Progreso, matching
plus/minus ~17.5 kHz. These are unlike the ones out of 13700 RHC; no
F# tone, totally unreadable in SSB or FM, but music recognizable in AM
mode // 4765. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. I`ve heard these
spurs occasionally before. Could this be why R. Huanta 2000, Peru,
jumped from 4747 to 4764, in retaliation? BTW, WRTH 2021 page 315 says
its new frequency be 4755; not (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4980, Feb 10 at 0302, WRMI reactivated here, metering S8-S9
but JBA talk // much stronger 9455, i.e. SMTV. 9455 programming was
moved to 5950; and 5950 to 4980? But then 4980 went off and 9455
replaced it; now sounds like 4980 is once again the very underpowered
one, perhaps just exciter. What does skedgrid now show? 4980 is
XMTR-4, but with NO hours of broadcast; no longer 11710, which never
has been activated. I guess the 4980 unit now is just a placeholder
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Checking which cable/TV channels are carrying live coverage
at the outset of Drumpf`s Impeachment-trial-2, Feb 9 circa 19 UT an
hour into it: KFOR (NBC, but had been in a break); KOCO (ABC); KWTV
(CBS); Univision but with anchors aside; Telemundo, ditto; C-SPAN2;
Fox News; CNN; MSNBC; Cheddar; PBS-World; CourtTV. NOT: Newsmax! But
by 2040 UT, when it`s Trumpsters` turn, YES! No such thing as
Fairness. And now, the Spanish channels are back to novelas.

Around 1925 UT, a quick check of the AM & FM bands for major signals,
not digging deeply: FM: Nothing but 91.7 KOSU OKC (NPR, of course).
AM: NOTHING but KRMG 740 Tulsa --- that`s a bit surprising as
therefore pre-empts the disgraced and dying Lush Rambo; Biden should
revoke his Presidential Medal of Freedom; and after 20 UT, when the
trial has switched to the Retrumplicans, instead of Hahn Shannity.
BTW, the website https://www.krmg.com shows nothing whatsoever about
KRMG being anywhere but 102.3 FM, unfortunately inaudible here; who
cares about 50 kW on AM? Throwaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6200-RCUSB, Feb 10 at 0142, VP S3 but no long waits for
ID from ``ROCV, 6200``, tropical music; via Bonaire SDR. Must be still
plugging along with 50 watts, espering licensure (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. 335-MCW kHz, Feb 9 at 0646 UT, dash and YLD,
which is 1000-watt NDB at Chapleau, Ontario.

332-MCW kHz, Feb 9 at 0648 UT, dash and QT, 1000-watt NDB at Thunder
Bay, Ontario, as usual way atop nearby IC in wIChita, Kansas.

290-MCW kHz, Feb 9 at 0652 UT, dash and QR, 100-watt NDB at Regina,
Saskatchewan.

276-MCW kHz, Feb 9 at 0654 UT, dash and YEL, 200 watt NDB at ELliot
Lake, Ontario.

248-MCW kHz, Feb 9 at 0658 UT, dash and WG, 1000-watt NDB at Winnipeg,
Manitoba. This one stands out with much bigger signal than any of the
other Canadians, usually skipped re-logging it. Hardly any are closer
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13413-trace, 13488 S4 vs CODAR S9, 13559 S8-S9, 13629 S9+10,
13771 S9/+10, 13842 S9 way over JBA 13845 WWCR, 13913 S4, 13982 S2/3,
14053 S1, 14124-trace, all approx., Feb 9 from 1512 not in the order
tuned, distorted FMish spurblobs with F# tone from fundamental
13700-AM RHC during `Sonido Cubano` music at approx. 71-kHz intervals,
this time extending even into the 20-m hamband. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** LIBERIA. Re my unID on 6049.975, here`s another, from Wolfgang
Bueschel: ``6049.975 kHz Tentatively Radio ELWA Liberia, at 0626 UT
Feb 9 JBA threshold level, poor and tiny -112dBm!`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 350-MCW kHz, 341-MCW kHz, 255-MCW kHz, Feb 9 at 0645-0659
UT, all three of our major ND beacons, RG in OKC, EI in Enid, and SW
in Stillwater are AWOL, presumably due to frigid weather, slick
runways, etc. At first I wonder if my own icy antenna be down, till
non-Okies show up. Also occasional lightning crashes from storms along
the LA-MS-AL-FL Gulf coast. See too, USA for what else may be heard.
And, big deal, say the q.v. Canadians still running. Recheck at 1720
UT, all three still off; we won`t have much meltage for several days
with highs well below freezing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 263-MCW kHz, Feb 9 at 0657, CVM, 25-watt NDB at Alton -
CiVic Memorial, Illinois.

257-MCW kHz, Feb 9 at 0659 UT, in the absence of nearby SW in
Stillwater OK, tuned to 255, I hear two very weak others mixing; one
of which seems F#K or F#C --- only fit is 25 watts on 257, FWC,
Fairfield - Wayne County, Illinois (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3308-USB, Feb 9 at 0225, MARS net 5TX1 led by AFA5FE, mostly
JBA vs S6 noise level; discussing virus shots, primarily abbr`d calls
such as 5FE, 5QI, 5KK, but uttered fonetikaly. Also about ``two R-I`s
have been issued, effective until December 31``. What`s an R-I, in
MARSpeak? I suspect this net be in TXas. Broad search on AFA5FE leads
first to mint green as a hex color code, but not to license plates in
the remaining 5 pages.

This huge reference of utility postal addresses stopped in 2004y
http://radiokoteg.kiev.ua/RS/FREQ/2182/Coastal%20Radio.txt
and leads to AFA5FE as William H. Greene in Morrison, Colorado; but
that was 22+ years ago. No het from 3310 where used to be an Enid
KGWA/KCRC mixing product, nor Mosoj Chaski (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 610, Feb 9 at 0144 UT, S9 of dead air from KCSP Kansas City
MO, but some JBA talk either from KCSP barely modulated, or an
understation. Like this for at least 2 minutes I stay with it. If a
station will not have anyhuman staff listening to itself, how can they
expect the public to do so? Radio-lccator.com shows site as a smidgen
west of Stateline toward Overland Park, KANSAS. Harold Frodge puts it
in Prairie Village KS. Both KCSP and KYYS in separate report are
Entercom outlets, reversing state lines. I suspect lots of seemingly
ethnic Spanish stations are really owned by Anglo groups (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Broadcasting Information column in new IRCA DX Monitor Feb
13 but published Feb 8 includes:

``1250 KYYS Kansas City, KS old slogan: “La X 1250-La Súper Estación”,
new: “La X 1250” --- Column data span: January 23-February 06 2021,
Data courtesy of stationintel.com, FCC database and member
contributions.`` I wonder which reported that, exactly?

This implies that they have dropped ``La Súper Estación`` from their
slogan IDs. I rather doubt this, and since KYYS is the dominant, tho
QRMed night signal on 1250 here, I monitor it UT February 9. Before
0200 there is a talk show, but ToH ID goes ``La Equis, 1250, la número
uno, La Súper Estación``. FCC call KYYS, and Kansas City, Kansas need
to be mentioned too, and I may have missed them.

Mostly music after 0200, but some more IDs at 0244, 0309, 0352
continue to include ``La Súper Estación``. Non-IDs are frequent with
some variations, additional slogans, but always end with L-S-E-. The
last two heard via the closest KiwiSDR remote in KS, by KD4SHO, whose
map puts it around Shawnee Mission, greater KC/KS, but with remarkably
poor `local` reception. Quite possibly someone heard KYYS sometime
without L-S-E- but that does not mean it is official, permanent and
irrevocable, and I suspect the same goes for some other ``changes``
rounded up for what is nevertheless a useful reference.

BTW, the night coverage map at
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KYYS&service=AM&h=N&z=i
shows site is definitely on the MISSOURI side, south of Liberty with a
bit of a notch toward Overland Park and Enid. Harold Frodge attaches
the site to River Bend MO. See also 610 KCSP log (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. Pertinent to 250 kW of dead airs, not to mention jamming, not
to mention whether even successful SW broadcasts are worth it:

Electricity Prices Shock Cubans: Over 2,590 Pesos
Some electricity bills exceed the minimum wage of 2,100 pesos.
DDC | La Habana
https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1612631622_28636.html
Perhaps there be a hidden ``SW wastage`` tax imposed on the poor
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PUERTO RICO. 391-MCW kHz, Feb 8 at 0720 UT, ND beacon DDP, which is
1000 watts from San Juan - Dorado. I was tuned to 390-USB. Always nice
to hear this far one when it propagate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. Correxion to original report as 17545.007 --- was
supposed to be 17745.007; I had Bayto Yaikl on my mind. It`s a week
later before I notice this in the NASWA Flashsheet; is no one else
paying attention? Not me, hi! Original log report fixed:

17745.007, Feb 1 at 1455, HOA talk and bit of music S9-S4, slightly
off-frequency until cut off at 1459.5*. Per Aoki/NDXC, it`s BBC Somali
via UAE at 1430-1500; also at 1100-1130 via Madagascar, plus Saturdays
only UAE starting at 1130 filling in the gap - for silly ballgames?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 407-MCW kHz, Feb 8 at 0718, NDB IL, which is 25 watts from
wILmington, Ohio; tuned to 405-USB, and hard to untangle from
always-there HRU in Kansas, about the same pitches (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2072 monitoring: confirmed Sunday February 7
at 2302 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.93, S6-S8, at Nunavut item so
probably started on time at 2300, hopefully both on SW and webcast.

(Meanwhile the other WBCQ airs UBMP with Tajik music on 7390.22; The
first half-hour of this always repeats 25 hours later, so you can
listen to WOR and still get the first of UBMP later.) Both offsets
confirmed by KB0FX remote in SAM mode.

Also confirmed UT Monday February 8 at 0057 just in time the 0030 on
WRMI 7730, VG direct.

Also confirmed UT Monday February 8 at 0230 on WRMIs: 5800 VG S9+20
via Bonaire; 7780 VP S3 with staticrashes via UTwente; also WRN web.

Also confirmed at UTwente Mon Feb 8 from 1900:33 on IRRS via Bulgaria
7290, intact at spotchex until closing 29 minutes later with a pause
before some music fill. Usual ambiside splash de 7295 East Turkistan
and just as bad 7280 Vietnam. Earlier, weak carrier on at *1854:28,
bump up to full power by 1854:30, open carrier until 1859:50 last word
of algo and cut to ending of sign-on with PO box only; 1900:04
`Feature Story News` before WOR start a bit earlier than usual. Next:

1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW

** U S A. 1110, Feb 8 at 2115 UT, talkshow in English, loops NNE/SSW
like KFAB Omaha; I`m checking at about the same time I was DXing a
biday ago from Nescatunga, finding good signal from this whilst little
from 1040 WHO Des Moines, which is a little further but ought to be
doing at least as well via skywave, both 50 kW ND in daytime. Soon I
check the remote in Omaha just to be positive, and then at 2130 a
remote in Crowley TX, which is getting KVTT but poorly despite
proximity: talk in S Asian language, mentions Pakistan so maybe Urdu?
Then an adstring mostly in accented-English obviously concerning The
Metroplex, two ``Radio Azad`` IDs heard, not ``FunAsia`` as in
radio-locater. And the Azad name is not in NRC AM Log. Seemingly has
no website to look up languages. Azad means ``free`` in Urdu, et al.

KFAB however shows a local talkhost afternoons, Chris Baker, who would
rather live in Omaha than Miami! KFAB is fading up and down a bit ---
it`s at that awkward distance between edge of pure groundwave and
skywave ramping up, 352 miles city-to-city; while Des Moines is 425
