** CHINA. 13530, Jan 24 at 1458, JBA fluttery carrier until 1500*, no
doubt CNR1 jammer against SOH starting to repropagate; but none heard
just above or below 13000 yet; however, a weak open carrier at 13001
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13766 approx., Jan 24 at 1453, RHC with Marta Rios about
propagation, so `En Contacto` reading Arnie script must be running
late beyond 1450`s `En Compañía del Doctor`. Anyhow, 13700-AM is
putting out lots of spurblobs but not in the usual pattern. For a
change there are no F# tones with them! Rather low-pitched hums, best
audible in FM mode, not AM. They are quite diffuse and harder than
usual to guess a center frequency. First one is +66 kHz, paired with
-63 kHz circa 13637, but there are others at mid-intervals: 13668 with
no mod, 13605 vs residual jamming, 13576; 13729, 13795, 13828, 13887,
13949. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA SOUTH. 1566, Jan 24 at 1342, awake just in time to check on
the longwire, JBA carrier surely from FEBC, and at 1344
near-imagination-level 3+1 timepips as definitely heard before when
their antenna is switching from N Korea to China heading. Of course I
could easily confirm this via remotes, if I were ever up and running
computer by now. The winter window for direct reception is steadily
closing, as our sunrise earlies, 1338 today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TIBET [non]. 12125, Jan 24 at 1544, JBA tonal talk at S9; strixe me
as an unusual frequency, but now Aoki-scheduled this hour only as CNR1
jammer and/or RFA Tibetan via TINIAN, NMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4724-USB, Jan 24 at 0730, US military crypto message with
always self-imposed heavy reverb/echo; also with continuous
whine/siren noise, pitch varying very slightly; message header
repeated several times fonetikaly: VOFJ3G; brief ``stand by``s and
transmission breaks. Usually IDs as ``Andrews``, I think, but not
positive I heard that this time. Or is it a different tactical ID each
time? See a previous report:

``4724-USB // 8992-USB, Feb 9 at 0041, US military crypto
alfanumeric fonetik string with usual reverb and clix between
characters. EiBi calls these ``US Air Force Messages``, on six
frequencies all available 24 hours, the others being 6739, 11175,

** CUBA. 11850, Jan 23 at 2313, RHC S9/+25 but quite undermodulated.
With that much S, usual parasitic spurs should be detectable as JBA

fixed, or swapped to another one? Something`s always wrong at RHC.

** NORTH AMERICA. 4055-USB, Jan 24 at 0148 rock music at S9+10, 0152
Wolverine Radio ID and another tune. First time I`ve heard it on 74m;
0214 recheck in SSTV beepery, pulse rate 144/min = 2.4 per second,
like the other one, and off. But during last part of SSTV and
continuing, also hearing some much weaker JBA talk and music also on
4055-USB, when in clear at S6 = the noise level. One HFU reporter,
raypfaff, also noticed: ``Off after that? I can hear something in the
background, but much lower signal than before.`` Another pirate?

Not TGAV; for a split second when first tuned, I had suspected Radio
Verdad was repaired from Guatemala -- but not with rock in English and
no LSB! Use it or lose it; has Dr Madrid given up? Many more logs of

** ALBANIA [non]. Re: Opera Singer profile on Radio Tirana 22/1/21...

``Glenn, As you said, this has been discussed previously but I’ll
mention again that the singer would be Gaqo Çako (pronounced GA-chyoh
CHA-Koh). Passed away 1/8/18

RT`s signature tune “Këputa një gjethe dafine" was his song that won
the 1978 Festivali I Kënges (Song Festival). He was apparently a
participant in 28 FIK’s and won 3 times.

Regarding a building being demolished --- are we talking about the
RTSH HQ in downtown Tirana? I walked past the facilities back in 2010
(just down the road from the still-intact former home of Enver Hoxha)
and would not be surprised if it’s being renovated. When I was there,
Albania was a whole big construction site and Tirana’s current mayor
is keen on modernising the city. - Regards, BRIAN POWELL VK2XBP,
Sydney, Australia``

``Hi, > Regarding a building being demolished: That's most likely
about the old building of Radio Tirana (the station moved out of it in
1965). I believe the demolishing has nothing to do with the RTSH
current building on Rruga Ismail Qemali.

https://exit.al/en/2021/01/11/historic-radio-tirana-building-looks-set-to-be-demolished/
73, Dmitry Mezin, Kazan/RUS``

``Thanks for the clarification, Dmitry! I was aware there was the old
premises of RT and they were repurposed in the communist era but I
assumed that would have been demolished long ago. Then again, I would
have thought Enver`s house would have been demolished, but it still
stands right in the middle of the now-trendy Blloku neighbourhood. --

** ALBANIA [non]. 5850, Friday January 22 at 2300 checking secret R.
Tirana relay via WRMI: certainly not the same episode I heard 8 days
ago and seems current rather than pre-Xmas. As always sign-on claims
RT is heard ``only on internet`` refusing even to recognize this SW
airtime, probably donated. Program previews: news, press review,
profile. Caster is YL this time rather than OM. Signal very strong but
also high local noise level, plus accent makes it hard to follow. Does
mention date January 20, 2021 in connexion with something. 2307
so-called Press Review seems all about industrial and agricultural
produxion statistics just like in the good-ole Stalinist days; also
funding for a hydro power project with date mentioned January 27,
2021. 2313 into Profile of an opera singer born 24.1.35. His name
mentioned once at the start and I could not catch it at all; they
should at least spell names of such subjects for us ignorant
listeners. Example played: him singing the tune which is also RT`s
theme song; identity and source of which we discussed in detail last
year.

As for the Jan 14 show I heard before, Richard Lemke, St. Albert,
Alberta, replies about that: ``Dear Glenn: WRMI, 5850 kHz, 2300 UT.
After hearing the Mailbag Show on Radio Tirana on Jan 12, 13, 14, 15,
Yes, I did hearing confirming the same program with mail from FL and
how Albanians celebrate Christmas. According to information that I

listen again and again, and that`s what it sounds like, tuned to
284-USB. But this must be on 286, EKS in Ennis, Montana, heard without
a pause between dit for E and dah-dit-dah for K! Classaxe shows no
note about any such error``

Harold Frodge, MI, replies: ``No mystery --- 284 QD 0.4 The Pas MB, Le
Pas A/P; 01 Nov (DT), 06 Dec (KZ) [Has misskeyed as .-.-/...]``

Then I find this in classaxe.com about QD 284: ``Most often miskeys
with the first dash in each character replaced with a dot. Sounds like
AA S. 15Feb2020``

But not always: I have also heard correct QD. This seems about as
convoluted an explanation as mine of another station lacking a pause
between two letters. But pinning down the frequency to 284 implies
it`s QD --- and what I heard did have a dash, overlooked in my
original report, so it`s Canadian (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, Jan 21 at 0126, RHC English only S6-S9 direct, but:

5040, Jan 21 at 0127, RHC off or below noise level here; 0135 checking
Bonaire SDR, only a JBA carrier, could be India? While 5025 Rebelde is
good. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13634, 13569, 13769, 13838 all approx., Jan 21 at 1443,
extremely distorted spurblobs out of RHC 13700-AM. Something`s always
wrong at RHC.

13739.796, Jan 21 at 1445, the other RHC 22m frequency bears the
transmitter off-frequency from 13740.00. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA SOUTH. Re the 3+1 pips I heard at strange time of 1344 Jan 19
on 1566 kHz, ``One of the clubs has compiled a timesignal reference
but I have not found it again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)``

Richard Langley replies on the WOR iog: ``It is attached. See FEBC in
the list. You're welcome. -- Richard Langley``

And thank you. I see there are some others with 3+1, altho FEBC
appears to be the only one that fits on 1566; e.g. there are no NHKs
at all on 1566 per WRTH. I`m really quite sure that`s it, but curious
if others have noticed the pips at odd times like transmission changes
