** CUBA. 5040, Feb 14 at 0703, RHC still on here in Spanish plugging
Dia Mundial de la Radio, a Big Deal at RHC, despite 06-07 hour
supposed to be in English; was it? By now, 6000, 6060 and 9700 are
off, while 6100 runs open carrier, and still S9+20 at 0712.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, Sunday Feb 14 at 1446, no DX program `En Contacto`
with or without Arnie, but discussion of Venezuelan/Cuban contact in
cooperation about Covid-19 as 14 de febrero is some kind of special
day celebrating that. 13700 is JBA while // 13740 is *much* stronger;
after 1500, 13700 has bettered while 13740 is off. No spurs detected.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 4020-USB, Feb 14 at 0023, talkative pirate DJ
inviting requests, mentions a YT video, next song to be `Never Say
Never` on Radio Free What-ever. Numerous other logs here:

** U S A. 395-MCW kHz, Feb 14 at 1438, the two 25-watt Kansans are
mixing, CA at Newton - Harvs, and ULS at Ulysses, slightly different
pitches (Glenn Hauser, oK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2073 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
February 13 at 2230 on WRMI 9955, VG S9+25 via KB0FX remote in MO,
opposite direxion from beam; slight jamming audible at fades and
gradually increasing by 2300 but no big problem. Preceding 2230: Bob
Zanotti ID, and Bob Biermann starts to say ``Remembering the 60`s``
--- about music rather than me.

Also confirmed Sat Feb 13 at 2300 on WRMI 7780, VG into Maine SDR,
S9+10/20. But I`m mainly listening to `Encore` on 7570.

Also confirmed UT Sun Feb 14 at 0422, on WA0RCR, 1860-AM S9+15 into
nearby KB0FX SDR, well in progress, probably starting before 0415.

** CUBA. 6060, Feb 13 at 0546, this RHC is back on but Spanish instead
of English, SS also on // 6100, 5040; while English is only on 6000 //
9700. Maybe English got more after 0600? retiring ``early`` tonight.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 13700, Feb 13 at 1548, RHC is incredibly JBA with a
SAH no doubt Brother Scare Bulgaria. Tuning down the band, figured
13700 would be off since there were no spurs. Meanwhile, // music on
11760 is S9+20 but distorted. Soon mentions this being Dia Mundial de
la Radio as declared by UNESCO. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

Recheck at 1557, now the extremely distorted FMish spurblobs with F#
tone are back, as fundamental 13700-AM has charged up to full power:
approx. 13560, 13630, 13770 S8-S9, 13840, 13910-trace, i.e. ~70 kHz
intervals. Something`s always wrong at RHC; 1558 IS and all go off by
1600* uncovering a JBA carrier on 13700, i.e. per Aoki/NDXC,
Kostinbrod, Bulgaria, still BSing supposedly until 1800 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** ERITREA [non]. 17545.06V, Sat Feb 13 at 1557, JBA Bayto Yaikl on
one of two weekly RMI-brokered emissions via FRANCE at 1530-1600 Wed &
Sat. As always, this defective Issoudun transmitter is
cycling/wobbling up and down in frequency, as I try to measure it,
roughly 17545.055 to 17545.065 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2073 monitoring: missed checked Sat

** U S A. 15825, Feb 13 at 2142, no signal from WWCR-1, not even the
usual JBA carrier within the normal skip zone at 1 megameter at 15-16
MHz. 6115, also no signal for WWCR-1 on its next frequency from 2200.
Ivo Ivanov also noted no signal earlier today at 0645 on 3215, the
WWCR-1 frequency at 02-12 UT. This is the same transmitter which for
months, yea years, has been squealing, ``I`m sick! Please help me``.
John Jurasek, the VORW, soon noted at 0713, also to the WOR iog:

``It looks like there may be some technical problems - this is now
posted on their website: "WWCR expects to experience problems with
operation on 3.215 MHz for several days. Parts cannot be ordered to
fix the problem quickly, due to a temporary closure with a parts
vendor." All the best, John J. (Florida)``

Looking at the WWCR-1 program schedule, this means that John`s
``VROW`` [sic], one of very few non-gospel huxter shows, will not be
heard as scheduled Saturday at 23-24 on 6115. But why does WWCR
website mention 3215 only without the other two daily #1 frequencies?

** AUSTRALIA [non]. 9265V, Fri Feb 12 at 2215, during Unique Radio
relay of relay of R. Tatras, Slovakia, WINB starts squealing and dumps
off the air, but back on OK in one minute; but in Chinese! briefly as
part of the RTI show. S9+10 via KB0FX SDR in SAM mode showing slight
carrier fluxuation of minus 13 to 15 Hz, less than usual, yet still
obvious to the BFOed ear (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13464, 13632, 13768, 13836 approx., Feb 12 at 1509, extremely
distorted spurblobs out of 13700-AM at ~68 kHz intervals, as always at
this time, destroying `Sonido Cubano` music show. 15140 fundamental is
much less distorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA.. 6925-USB, Feb 13 at 0016 pirate music S6-S8, 0020
SSTV, 0021 unreadable voice announcement, ``Sugar2``; 0024 another
u.v.a., ``Turn3``. These say it`s Outhouse Radio:

including SSTV images of dogs. Nothing on 74m now (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9980, Feb 12 at 1603, Brother Scare on WWCR
is running 19.5 seconds behind BS on WRMI 9955 --- whew, I managed to
listen 20 seconds to time this for the greater good. So if you ask
yourself, did he really say that on WRMI? Tune over to WWCR. But why
are they so far apart? Much too much for different satellite delays;
internet feed delay? Who cares! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 257-MCW kHz, Feb 12 at 0714 UT, amid storm crashes from
along the Gulf coast, NDB JYR which is 25 watts from YoRk, Nebraska.
No sign of the other 257 recently heard, FWC in Illinois, but it`s
further (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490.2v), Feb 13 from 0100 on WBCQ webcast, `AAAWWW` starts
off with long complaints about how Allan`s beloved wife is getting
disrespected, or has been by some people at the station when she first
arrived; implying they better do so or get fired. I wonder who? A & A
are A-Team equals, but Allan is getting old and much younger Angela
will be his instant replacement when the time comes. She can`t visit
her parents across the border in NB because of overreaxion to COVID-19
which she thinx is a Chinese bio-weapon, just a bad flu which got
politicized. Tell that to the 500K Americans it has killed so far.
This accounts for the first half of the hour already.

Later at 0150: Still trying to buy WHRI, still waiting on FCC, don`t
know of any problems, just burocracy. Everything`s culminated (? - o,
``covinated``). All the paperwork, deeds and money are ready. 0151 new
FRW items -- with frequencies ``is on`` as if they would keep on a
single frequency; ``single sideband TV``. BTW, I notice that Allan has
not twitted since Jan 20; abandoned that platform? Says he does not
like FB either. Here`s John Carver`s version:

``Tonight's show started on time on 6160. Very poor signal on 7490.
Allan and Angela in the studio in a warm FLA this evening. Allan says
he has a beautiful wife and Angela says she's all fired up. Opening
talk about the superstation from a business standpoint. He talks about
how the station is not run like other businesses as they are very laid
back and the station is not run in a rigid, structured, manner as most
businesses are. He also states that he is no longer twenty years old
and Angela is learning the business and how to run the business so she
can step in and take over when he gets to be too old. She is his
backup and his partner and they are equal. He's defending his wife and
he doesn't like it when people don't give her the respect that she
deserves. Seems that there has been a lot of verbal criticism of
Angela from men who don't think women should be running a station.
Some covid talk and then Allan starts reading an article about how
well radio was doing in the time of covid compared to TV and other
platforms. Interrupted at 0138 by a phone call from Freddie. Allan
continues reading the article after Freddie is off the air.

Then Allan said that they were still trying to buy WHRI but says that
the FCC still hasn't ruled on the sale and not contacted them. Reading
of emails at 0150 and he starts with this week`s Free Radio Report.
Closing prayer at 0159 which was cut off in the middle at the end of
the show. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, UT Saturday Feb 13 at 0200-0300 via WRMI 5800, another
Texas Radio Shortwave broadcast, as per previous publicity from Robert
Kipp in Germany, who must be quite the Amerika-phile; via Jeff White,
via Rich D`Angelo, NASWA iog:

``WRMI TX, antenna, and this QRG have proven effective in covering ALL
the USA. This info to me from Jeff White, owner of WRMI.

Program Title: "America PROUD"
Program Content from: Texas Radio ShortWave TRSW
As planned at this time, this will be a ONE-TIME only VERY special
program !!! There will certainly be a very special eQSL for "detailed"
eReport + mp3-audio clip to texasradiosw@gmail.com

Back in October, I felt the need to make such a program. I suggested
this topic and the program title to TRSW. I suggested most of the
Playlist of music titles and artists, and TRSW and I made the program
content. TRSW handles Opening, station IDs, QSLing, and Closing infos.
After a nice introduction by TRSW at the program start, I will
moderate the musical titles and artists during the program.

I would be VERY happy to hear your reaction to this broadcast. We HOPE
you and Family are ALL safe from Covid-19, and ALL are managing nicely
in these very difficult and troubled times. Helga and I and the family
here are ALL OK, but the lock-down and vaccination chaos are
disturbing, distracting, and partly plain dumb. With our very best
greetings, Helga and Robert Kipp``

I tune in 5800 first at 0203, S9+30 via KB0FX SDR in MO, S9+30 despite
aimed toward S America like 9955, with the conclusion of `This Land Is
Your Land`, then the complete Inauguration poem orated by Amanda
Gorman, a nice unexpected touch on a station otherwise dedicated to
songs.

By 0210 I`ve switched to own R75 receiver where it`s S9+10/20 with a
little fading but quite listenable: `Smoky Mountain Boogie`; 0212 robo
ID and Kipp introduces the next 3 songs, starting with `America The
Beautiful`. 0219 `OM River`; 0221 QSL offer from the North American
service of Texas Radio Shortwave; 0222 `Born in the USA`, `Let the Sun
Shine In`; 0233 ID, `Proud to be an American`, `City of New Orleans`,
Alaska song about the Midnight Sun. 0245 Kate Smith, `God Bless
America`, `Chattanooga Choo-Choo`, `American Anthem`.

0256 QSL offer, 0257 please stand and remove your head covering as
Lady GaGa sings Our National Anthem. 0259 time for only a few notes of
`Yellow Rose of Texas` theme before cut to Zanotti ID.

A really feel-good show, enjoyed; tnx, TRSW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED.``Glenn, regarding European longwave: Czech Radio on 270
is still there, as heard on the UTwente SDR. Will be shut down at the
end of 2021.

I'm sometimes able to hear extremely faint audio on 279 via UTwente.
Not sure if it's Turkmenistan or just an image. Conflicting info about
whether this transmitter is still active. Definitely was able to hear
it a few years ago after the Minsk co-channel shut down.
Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas``

Altho Turkmenistan is hardly in `East Asia and the Pacific`, that`s
the LW/MW list where 279 appears in the HB, page 534. The only other
additional LW there are MONGOLIA on 164, 209, 227. IIRC both these and
279 have come under DXcussion as sporadic or defective. BTW, altho
larger than California in area, Turkmenistan occupies only 3.5 column
inches in the Domestic sexion of WRTH, a few FM stations, and no entry
in the International (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

** 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:

** 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

WORLD OF RADIO 2073 monitoring: confirmed UT Friday February 12 at

KVOH is aiming toward us and WRMI away from us (Glenn Hauser, OK,

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

** 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)
