Hauser
Greetings from the United States of America, again under honest,
rational, competent, empathetic management!

** CANADA. 335-MCW, Jan 20 at 0731 UT, dash and YLD, 1000-watt ND
beacon at Chapleau, Ontario.

274-MCW, Jan 20 at 0737 UT, dash and YPM, 25-watt NDB from upnorth
Pilangikum, Ontario, still in Hepburn list in red as ``back on``.
Distance is 1741 km = 1082 stmi, or 43.28 watts per mile.

One of these quiet winter nights before spring storming set in, I
should report *every* Canadian beacon audible in one session; I tend
to avoid relogs of same ones over and over again (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Jan 20 at 0742, JBA carrier but stronger than
837 and several other TA carriers still audible. This one surely R.
Kiribati, which has often been absent around this time; as there is
nothing more than 3 kW from W Europe = Ireland; 20/50 kW from Mideast
but too late for them, while it`s long after sunset in east Kiribati.
See also UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KUWAIT. 1548 kHz, Jan 20 at 0153 UT, JBA carrier but really stands
out as nothing else at 9-kHz steps audible highband above 1107. There
are two 500 kW, R. Sawa, Kuwait 24 hours; and TWR via Pridnestrovye to
eastern Europe but only at 1930-2130 per WRTH 2021. See also
UNIDENTIFIED. 1548 is what`s left of the once great VOA Arabic service
on SW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 293-MCW kHz, Jan 20 at 0733 UT, two NDBs mixing, TOR and
FBY. Commonly I only hear FBY, 25 watts from FairBurY, Nebraska. TOR
is 50 watts from TORrington, Wyoming. Previously but not now on 293 I
have also heard UI, qUIncy, Illinois.

286-MCW kHz, Jan 20 at 0735 UT, ND beacon .-.-/... --- what??? .-.- is
not a Roman letter but Russian ``ya``. 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,
https://www.classaxe.com/dx/ndb/rna/signal_list
and BTW is being replaced by:
https://rxx.classaxe.com/en/rna/signals

269-MCW kHz, Jan 20 at 0730 UT, ND beacon BEX, which is 25 watts from
Bloomfield, Iowa; I was tuned to 267-USB where it`s mixing about
equally with 25-watt HET, Henryetta, Oklahoma, which is usually alone
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2069 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday January
20 at 1030 on WRMI 5850: it`s been on the skidgrid a while, but
finally checked it via timer recording, VG thisaway, and onward to
Asia?? Center beam crosses circa Saipan/NMI, but by then it should be
broad enough for east Asia too. How is it there or even in NZ/Au?
Next:
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Jan 20 at 0217
following discovery of 1548 a few minutes earlier, see KUWAIT: 1548,
1512, 1215, 1179, 1125, 1089, 1044(2), 936, 891*, 882, 774; below that
blocked by high local noise level. *strongest, Algeria (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1937 UT January 20

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Jan 20 at 0732:
starting with 846 which must be TP, see KIRITIMATI; otherwise: 837(2),
774, 711 but none lower above the high local noise level; upward: 855,
882, 1053, 1089, 1107(2), 1341 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13771 & 13630 & 13560, Jan 19 at 1413, FMish spurblobs with
F# tone from RHC 13700; 1511 recheck, 13770 at S6-S8, also 13631,
13564, all approx. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 5960, Jan 19 at 2356-2400, as soon as Turkey off,
via UTwente, Chinese talk and traditional music until 5+1 timesignal,
i.e. PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi; land of Chicom genocide against the
Uighurs. BTW, in case you think I exaggerate unreasonably, hear this
starting at 24:10 into The World edition of Jan 19 as heard on KOSU:
https://www.npr.org/podcasts/381444246/pri-s-the-world
PBS Newshour also reports on this January 19
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 17720, Jan 19 at 1504, S6-S8 of unID talk, the
OSOB except for 17630 slightly better CRI English via MALI. 17720 is
VOT which has just started a 2-hour Arabic broadcast.

5960, Jan 19 at 2324, VOT English is on, unlike 24 hours earlier,
during feature on Turkish culture; 2353-2356* IS and off, uncovering
Xinjiang; as checked via UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, Jan 19, latest revision of WRMI skedgrid has finally
removed WOR UT Tue 0330 and all other programming at 0300-0400 in
favor of `Freedom Synergy Radio` daily, except: VORW on UT Fridays.
WORLD OF RADIO monitoring, next:

1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW [still needs confirmation]
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE

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

** U S A. 5850 & 5950, Jan 19 at 0709, WRMIs-12 and -8 are still off,
so presumably all the others too. Bob Biermann later informs that
power finally restored at 0739.

15770, Jan 19 at 1501, my first check finds WRMI-9 back on here, with
SMTV stuff about nim cruelty.

9955, Jan 19 at 1502, WRMI-3 still on with `Freedom Synergy Radio`
about smart farming in Taiwan, S9+20. Skedgrid has been updated again
contrarily to show TOMBS now at 1500-1530 M-F and 1530-1700 daily
along with other expansions. Yes, 9955 still on with BS at 1648 check,
VP via DR SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, January 19 at
1327-1345: Looping NW on the DX-398 so from Japan/E Asia: 594, 693,
747, 774, 828, 972, 1323, 1422, 1566. From WSW so Australia: 702,
1548. Uncertain DF: 1503, 1512, both nothing more than 10 kW from
either. LSR here was 1341 UT.

1566, from 1342 Jan 19, paying special attention to surely 250 kW
Jeju, South Korea, but seems to have a slight beat from second
carrier, China? But no more than 10 kW there. At 1344 a 3+1
timesignal(?) cuts thru and then the station weakens, i.e. when FEBC
change antenna patterns and languages from Japanese to Chinese. Is
that non-hour TS typical of HLAZ?

One of the clubs has compiled a timesignal reference but I have not
found it again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9630.324, Jan 18 at 2230, JBA off-frequency, S5-S7,
presumed R. Aparecida in Portuguese. I haven`t heard even the carrier
of this for a long time, but presumed as such on signature
off-frequency. Its 11856v has been gone even longer, while 6135v has
continued more or less active, but I think not 5035 either. My last
log of it on 9630.3 was Feb 7, 2020, but I find one from Manuel Méndez
on August 7, none since. Now it`s slightly stronger but less readable
than RVM on 9665v.

Recheck at 0320 Jan 19, 9630.3 is a JBA carrier, while 31m is
otherwise virtually dead of US signals, yet 11905-11915 RNA Brasil DRM
noise is detectable, but no AM signal on 11780. K-index is 3 with
strange conditions. But WRMI seems absent from all frequencies, see U
S A (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KUWAIT. 5959.887 kHz, Jan 19 at 0353, via Bonaire SDR, first noted
as heavy splatter to 5950 when trying for WRMI, Arabic talk measured
here in SynchAM of 5960.000 minus 113v Hz carrier; 0355 music; 0358
two brief ~1 second breaks also visible on waterfall; 0400 Kuwait ID
and news, first about Yemen. This Kabd is always offset minus (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Jan 18 at 2235, REE North American frequency is back
on after missing a week or more, S9+20 in Castilian, and presumably
English after 2300 on this Monday when I heard some music. But after
2235 NO signals on // 11940, 12030 or 11685 to be heard here nor by
TWR DR SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 18 at 2305, no signal from VOT English to us,
checked at DR SDR and even UTwente. Something`s always erroneous at
Ermiler. KUWAIT was VG later, tho, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2069 monitoring: not confirmed UT Tuesday
January 19 at 0330 on WRMI 5800 since this and all transmitters are
off air during power outage; see separate report. FSR has pre-empted
WOR the past few weeks anyway contrary to skedgrid. Next:
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW [still needs confirmation]
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

** U S A. 9975 KVOH, 9955 & 9395 WRMI, 9330 WBCQ, Jan 19 at 0323, no
signals or maybe traces, as K-index is 3 at 0300, but no storms
reported.

At 0325 I find 5800 WRMI also absent when FSR or WS should be on, and
still nothing after 0330 when FSR or WOR should be on. Then I check
all other possible WRMI frequencies, and hear no signals on 4980,
5010, 5850, 5950, 7570, 7730, 7780, so altho propagation is degraded,
WRMI must be totally silent for some reason. Just to be sure, also
check them to Bonaire SDR at 0352: none at all, including those aimed
thataway, 5800 & 9955.

Still at 0545 no signal e.g. on 5850 and I check disgraced FB:

``WRMI Radio Miami International 3 hrs · Power outage at WRMI: at
about 0115 UTC January 19, the electrical power went out here at the
WRMI transmission plant. This means that all transmitters are off the
air at this time. Our Internet stream of 9955 kHz is still on with
emergency power. Florida Power and Light estimates that power should
be restored by around 0300 UTC, but this is just an initial estimate.
Hopefully we will be back on the air soon`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Jan 19 at
0334-0340 UT when K-index is 3 so not expecting much, but, beyond the
high local noise level at lowband: 639(2 with slow SAH of 108/minute =
1.8 Hz), *684(2), 693, *774(2), 837(2 slow), 882, 891, 909, 1017,
1044(2), *1053, 1107, 1215, 1224, 1296(2), 1305(3), 1665(?). * =
strongest. As for the SAH on 639, mwoffsets shows two of the RNE Spain
synchros are/were 1.8 Hz apart, but not including the big one of 300
kW at La Coruña (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, Jan 18 at 0711, S9+30 of dead air, as RHC refuses to
modulate English plus refuses to turn off. Somethings always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13630 approx., Jan 18 at 1445, RHC spurblob with F# tone,
unreadable in SSB but in FM or AM mode, S6-S8; also weaker 13559
mixing with constant ISM pulse noises; out of 13700-AM which is
S9/+10; also 13772 and 13843 at approx ~71 kHz intervals. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ERITREA. 7140 & 7180, Jan 18 at 1519, JBA carriers amid LSB AROs,
fittingly for the two VOBME reactivated intruders; by long path. Not
attempted to measure now, but on Jan 1, Wolfgang Bueschel found them
both exactly 21 Hz plus (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 9900-9905-9910, Jan 18 at 1512, S3-S4 of DRM noise, one of
the TDF/RFI tests, but starts it at 1500 or 1505 per conflicting info?
Ivo Ivanov says the datespan for these is Jan 11, when I discovered
5875 at 2330; to Feb 28 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9985, Jan 18 at 1515, Korean at S7-S9, needs USB
tuning to minimise but not eliminate huge WWCR TOMBS on 9980. This is
RFA via SAIPAN, so probably off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 15600, Jan 18 at 1455, also at 1450 before the
15260 UK log, and better than it, S5-S9 M&W chat in presumed Kurdish
mentioning Corona; 1458 bring up theme music under, several web
addresses ending in .fm, ``Dengê Amerika`` ID and off 1459.5*. It`s
VOA Kurdish via Woofferton UK as scheduled 14-15; the best
extracontinental signal on band, less than Cuba, much more than WWCR,
WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11540, Jan 18 at 1504, fast SAH between a talker
and a musicker, surely Dengê Welat and Turkish jammer; nothing on
11530, abandoned by both. D.W. could keep the jammer hopping by
hopping back and forth, why not? BTW, it`s not ``Welt`` as some keep
misspelling it.

Isn`t Emirler too close by skip distance on 11 MHz to Diyarbakir for
effective jamming? Let`s see at distancefromto.net --- entering both
names with no country, it knows both are in ``Turkey`` but puts
Emirler NW of Ankara near the Black Sea, at 785 km = 488 stmi, rather
than just south of Ankara as in WRTH 2021 glossy page 57, i.e. quite a
bit closer; Ankara itself is 674 km = 419 stmi. Are there two
Emirlers? Surely the SW site is the more famous.

For jamming, maybe it partially funxion, especially to further reaches
of Kurdistan and/or with high-angle takeoff. Those lucky Kurds,
without an independent country of their own, yet served by SW
broadcasters. But Kurdish is not ``major`` enough to be one of the
languages in the ADDX lang-listings. Checking EiBi and Aoki/NDXC, I
find Kurdish only from: TWR, VOA, Iran, all with religio-politico
agendas; and on MW, Armenia. WRTH shows some Kurdish language domestic
stations from Iran, Iraq, Turkey but not Syria (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
See also TURKEY

** TAIWAN [non]. 9955, Monday January 18 at 1514, WRMI-3 is on again,
S9/+10, extended to diffuse unscheduledly `Freedom Synergy Radio`
discussing Taiwan`s growing wine industry with 200 varieties of
grapes; take that, China mainland! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11815.020, Jan 18 at 1506, VOT Turkish, S7-S9 and slightly
off-frequency as usual; checked for comparison to the jamming on 11540
against KURDISTAN [non], q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K. 15260, Jan 18 at 1455, S5-S6 of few notes of JBA music,
recognizable theme of Babcock/Encompass Woofferton, ``this is a`` test
transmission and off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) see also KURDISTAN [non]

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2069 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
January 17 from 2300:20 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.935, S9/+10 direct;
following WBCQ IS & ID loop, no A51 ID or sign-on but a bit of music
before WOR start. (Meanwhile, the other WBCQ, with `UBMP`, is not much
better, on 7490.173v.)

Also confirmed UT Monday January 18 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, good direct,
following usual Bob Zanotti second ID attempt overridden.

Also confirmed UT Mon Jan 18 at 0230 on WRMIs: 5800, S9+5/15 via
Bonaire; 7780, S9+10/20 via UTwente; also on WRN web/satcast. Next:

Also confirmed Mon Jan 18 from 1900:44 on IRRS 7290 Bulgaria; via
UTwente, timing compared to WWV direct, but UTw can`t get any
timesignals, except something on 5000-LSB with no minute pip. How do
European clockwatchers manage? Plenty strong at S9+25, after cut/on at
*1854:51 vs the splash, but by 1859:52 IRRS sign-on, the splash from
7280 Vietnam and 7295 East Turkistan, both also in English, becomes
severe. Usual 3 headlines from FSN between s/on and WOR start. ACI not
so bad by end at 1929:44, respectful 2-second pause before IRRS ID
``from south of the Alps``, FSN more than headlines. Next:

0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 5800 [to resume?] to SSE
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW [still needs confirmation]
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE

** VENEZUELA. 6200+, Jan 18 at 0233, presumed ROCV JBA at S3/S4, as
usual in SynchAM mode via TWR Bonaire KiwiSDR displaying carrier at
plus 0.8 Hz slightly varying. JBA here and weak at best even at
Bonaire: on the cadena dx fb Jan 14, ROCV engineer Gregorio Kina
posted, ``Potencia 50 watios antena v invertida cale eliax 1/2
pulgada`` --- I guess that is supposed to be ``cable``, antenna
measuring half an inch diameter? BTW, until I see a YV- callsign
applied to this, or other official info, I am going to assume this be
a pirate, but I bet FRW isn`t interested (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7830-AM, Jan 18 at 1516, S9+10 open carrier as if a
broadcaster, but could be a ute such as RTTY standby; also the usuals
on 6860 and stronger 6810. 7830 gone at 1614 recheck (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** ALBANIA [non]. 5850, Saturday January 16 at 2300, WRMI is OFF;
while on Thursday we had R. Tirana relay VG; secret airing when it
happen, not on the WRMI skedgrid. Tirana programs in English
supposedly occur 6 days a week except Sundays; I had just heard it
ending at 2300 on 7780 before WOR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13562 approx., Jan 17 at 1519, S4-S5 FMish spurblob from
S9+10/20 RHC 13700.0-AM at, at ~69 kHz intervals today while
first-order circa 13631 is S6-S7. Also on plus side, 13769 but much
stronger than 13838. So the regular spurblob-producing transmitter is
back instead of the weaker off-frequency-minus one. But earlier today
these reports:

Wolfgang Büschel: ``At 1318 UT noted the odd frequency fail
transmitter at Bauta (tx #2nd of total six transmitters at Bauta site)
on 6099.908 kHz``

Ivo Ivanov: ``Radio Habana Cuba on very odd frequency 13700v kHz,
January 17 from 1355 on 13699.8 BAU 100 kW / 310 deg to WNAm Spanish,
ex 13700. 13700 kHz is scheduled in B-20 RHC 1400-1600, but off air at
1405 UT`` --- so after that they changed transmitters and came back on
as 13700 also heard by Ivo on remotes after 1430 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** GERMANY [and non]. 9670, Jan 17 at 0040, Channel 292 publicized to
stay on air all-night; no good direct, but via NE USA SDRs, poor rock
and fast SAH; 0059 ID as OHR Radio. Not a good idea to confront
co-channel CNR1 jamming and/or VOA Tibetan via Thailand until 0100,
then switching to RFA Tibetan via Tajikistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SCOTLAND [non]. 7570, Sat Jan 16 at 2327, WRMI with classical piano
music --- yes, it`s a new airing of `Encore`, news to us as well as to
Brice; VG here on the 315-beam. But this does now show on the WRMI
skedgrid so maybe it`s not just a fluke/temp. However, the 0100 UT
Sunday airing on 7780 is pre-empted(?) by ``KTMS``. What about 5850,
did I miss checking the usual //? Next encore is UT Mon 03-04 on 5950
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

away circa 13562 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

with a minute of beeps, music box IS, and special broadcast of
``KTMS`` instead of `Encore`; 0106 ID claims to be country music, but

OK, WOR) WRMI: see also ALBANIA [non]; SCOTLAND [non]

** U S A. (5085), UT Sun Jan 17 from 0129, not even trying WTWW-2 on
