** BRAZIL. 11905-11910-11915, Feb 27 at 0013 on the NA5B SDR near WDC which I had been pulling WBCQ on, EBC DRM noise is easily audible in SAS mode with ``stereo`` sound, but is too weak to decode except for occasional bits, 5v+ dB SN, 14.76 kbps, S5. Since it`s neither from nor for Amazonas we cannot call this RNA, unlike the 11780-AM programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 335-MCW kHz, Feb 26 at 0711 UT, dash and YLD, 1000-watt ND beacon at Chapleau, Ontario. I was tuned to 334-USB. The best Canadian I could copy vs storm noise from NE Texas and degraded northerly propagation. Reminding myself where that is? Between SSM and Timmins (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13700, Feb 26 at 1540, RHC is S9 but undermodulated, and NO spurs. Occasional spurless morns I don`t always bother to note, but it`s the least I can do now & then. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PUERTO RICO. 391-MCW kHz, Feb 26 at 0707 UT, ND beacon DDP, which is 1000 watts from San Juan - DoraDo, PR. Also had been hearing it last few nights but not logged. Presumably some semi-auroral southern enhancement, coinciding with fewer Canadians. Now it has to combat storm crashes from NE Texas. I`m still waithoping for *any* other LW/MW beacons from Carib, Cuba, Mex or beyond. DXinfocentre.com lists only two others from PR: 254, MAZ, Mayagüez, 25 watts but decommissioned; and 330, SJ, San Juan / San Patricio, 50 watts. What else? 14 in Mexico, mostly 200 or 100 watts, predominantly at Camps in Campeche. 4 in Cuba but all decommissioned. Also some USA ones *in* the Gulf of Mexico - oil platforms? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 356-MCW kHz, Feb 26 at 0709 UT, few beacons making it past the NE TX storm front, but here is ODX, 25 watts from Ord, Nebraska. I was tuned to 358-LSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 6160-, Feb 26 at 2305 tune-in, Larry Will`s Free Radio Forum is underway at the virtual SWL Winterfest. He speaks for about a semihour with general info about the scene, such as FCC not bothering with enforcement against SW pirates, and just a little vs much more publicized FMs, due to funding and viral restrixions. I`m on the Area 51/61 webcast first, but soon pick a Kiwi SDR for remote SW reception, the NA5B one near Washington DC, which gets it just fine and I discover for the first time there, that the second button, SAM for Synch-AM has three other options if you keep punching it --- SAS which must mean synthetic stereo from the way it sounds; SAL and SAU for Synch-LSB and Synch-USB; on USB the audio sounds off-tuned as to be expected from a transmitter on the minus side. I keep listening in SAS. About 2324, Larry deals with QSLing, that he can take them or leave them, but implies that I, gh, am a big QSLer with hundreds of them including lots of pirates. Axually I have not been a big QSLer for sesquidecades; there are just over 100 on my website, dating back to when I started in 1957y but many more are yet to be scanned. It so happens that a lot of the more recent ones are pirates, some of whom have been nice enough to eQSL even if I don`t request them directly. Then announcement of those inducted this year into the North American Pirate Radio Hall of Fame: TimTron, a good friend of Larry`s; and the late John Cruzan, 2018*. Among web resources he includes the WOR iog, tnx. He is archiving this forum at his zappahead.net site. 2332 over to chat Q&A. 2338, Dan Robinson plugs the NA5B KiwiSDR near Washington DC as a good one for pirate monitoring, as later discussed, most activity is in the northeast/mid-Atlantic area. It was totally coincidental that I picked NA5B to be listening at this very time, but I thought it was named NASB, like National Association of Shortwave Broadcasters! That would have been something. Most popular shows on SW, WBCQ in particular? Larry says it`s hard to know, but he does know which ones get the most traffic to his web server: AAAWWW, and after that, unfortunately, Hal Turner. At 2357, 6160- cuts to the WBCQ IS & ID loop, as that would be its normal sign-on time, so I go back to webcast which continues. By 0005 UT Feb 27 I try NA5B again, and the Fest Forum has resumed, as giveaways are being announced, but 0006 Larry says he`s signing off from WBCQ and about to start Old Time Radio with Jean Shepherd; but first, some music heard on both (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5800, UT Sat Feb 27 from 0200, portion of David Goren`s ``Shortwave Shindig in Exile`` from the virtual SW Winterfest, as publicized to be broadcast via WRMI on 5800 & 7780. For convenience at the computer, I`m listening via the KB0FX SDR in MO, with VG reception, but turn on my own radio briefly for the record, where it`s also VG. This was a really enjoyable hour, and I hope many heard it following our advance publicity, or will hear it from some archive. The first 13 minutes are a mixture of classic shortwave interval signals and announcements. There is background noise thruout of ``SW sounds``, lite QRM for effect. In addition I am listening in synthetic stereo mode which enhances the effects. Finally at 0213 David Goren introduces, excerpts from C M Stanbury`s fixion book involving SW, ``Anti-Matter`` from 1977y. Hmmm, that voice sure sounds familiar --- o yeah, it used to be me, and now I remember recording that first-person narration performance about the KIA, for David several years ago when it was for a previous non-virtual Fest - but which I have never attended in persona, to far PA in the winter. Nice to be rerun. I hope someone was recording it off the air this time, as I was not prepared to do so. This lasts from 0216 to 0222, and then Bob Zanotti takes over for more CMSII referring to the TIA, at 0222-0228. Later: It was for the Fest 2012y, after which David told me this: ``I can't tell you how much your contributions were appreciated by everyone who heard your readings. You really brought Stanbury's tech noir musings to life. You will hear that I added some effects live as I played back the recordings. For Glenn's segment I mixed in WWII era shortwave recordings that Myke Weiskopf pried loose from the National Archives. And for Bob's Brentwood segment our resident bluesman Saul Broudy contributed some blues guitar to the earthy "Euridice" segments. The success of these segments and further research into the life of CM Stanbury has led me to begin work on a fuller documentary on him...`` And I`ve found my original <6 minute recording a bit noisy converted: https://www.w4uvh.net/cms2.mp3 Back to the future: 0231, some shoutouts; 0240 or so, Dan Robinson`s recording of Radio Tawantinsuyo; 0243, Richard Langley`s archive recording of ``Gruss an Bord``. 0245, ``Meditation on Darkness``, by Thomas R. Miller; ``Heavenly Static`` to 0254. 0254, Everglades song and interview with Jeff White, about more SWLing due to COVID, and no dropoff in business. 0257 country song about radio on the road. Goren`s closing offers QSL for reports to shortwaveology@gmail.com then closing credits until 0259:30 when Bob Zanotti is back for a WRMI ID and fragment of another one before Freedom Synergy Radio. Hmmm, some of the background noise is still heard on 5800 via KB0FX after the SWS is over --- and I thought it was all part of the show. Yep, at Bonaire, no such noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 6159.93, UT Sat Feb 27 0100-0200, AAAWWW on WBCQ, first monitored on webcast, then sufficient on SW direct. Starting sounds familiar, fiddling with mikes, too hot in Deland of Fla, stripping, Angela is so beautiful, etc. Is it a repeat? No, then something new about WBCQ having a YouTube channel to be linked from website. But can`t go for more than a few minutes without declaring that Trump is still president, on and on, so I banish them to the background, just noticing at 0127 a current datestamp for 26 Feb YOOL 2021. I expect John Carver will have a more complete report, standard disclaimer: ``Tonight's show started on time on 6160 and 7490. Allan and Angela in the studio in a warm Fla. Allan removes his shirt and states that Angela was running around half naked. They're drinking brandy this evening. Allan says that the station now has a YouTube channel and they should start broadcasting video of his show. Angela shouts out a request to Larry to put the address of the channel on the webpage and then wonders if he listens to the program anymore. Allan say he thinks that he does as long as they don't get too political but says that TimTron and JP have been drinking the moonbat kool aid and no longer listen to his show. Allan stated that they no longer watch network TV and watch DVDs, stream things and watch NetFlix. A discussion of all the old TV shows they watch ensues. Tonight's Angela's Angle has to do with an old episode of Bewitched in which George Washington is resurrected in today's world and gets arrested for talking in the park without a permit and he goes on at length about the Constitution. In the second part of Angela's Angle she attacks the gender wars and the people that are trying to do away with gender. Discussion also includes Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head and the Coca Cola Polar Bear. Another quick attack on the current administration by Angela who hopes that our real president, the beloved Trump returns soon and takes over the country to straighten things out. Last week she said this country was born on the gun and the bible. This week she says this country was born on blood and the bible. Reading of emails at 0153. Allan starts the closing prayer at 0159 and the program runs till 0201. John, Mid-North Indiana`` Standard disclaimer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Re KGBC 1540 Galveston still being off-frequency-minus but format unknown: ``Glenn, Still Spanish language religion during daytime checks here in Houston. I am too far away (62 miles) from their 250 watt nighttime signal to confirm if religion is also running at those hours -- KGBC buried under other co-channels. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9330, Feb 26 at 0725, S9+20 of dead air, most likely Cuban spynumbers station, but no sign of WBCQ/WLCR, if on, its 500 kW propped out. Usually there is a big collision (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 17850, Feb 26 at 1542 in 16m bandscan, hardly anything but a big open carrier, SSOB, but goes off before I can even read the S-meter, not before I maybe detect a bit of Issoudunish clatter. Aoki/NDXC shows 17850 is in fact an RFI frequency but at 07-11 UT only. So strong it could have been intracontinental like a GB test frequency, but nothing to compare it with. Once I had a list of such frequencies used only for tests (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 0437 UT February 27

** CRIMEA. Re RCV on 5916-CW, derivation of ``-opol'`` place names, Jimmy James answers: ``"-opol" ending means "city" --- it is from the Greek "polis". That's because those cities on the border of the Black Sea in Crimea area were founded by ancient Greeks. (same as "Constantinople" = the city of Constantin ([emperor)). Thx.``
And from Arthur Pozner: ``Just about all Crimean and many other Black Sea towns used to be ancient Greek colonies long ago. Modern names were given during the Russian expansion after a series of wars with the Ottoman Empire: Sebasto-polis. Simfero-polis etc. Even some cities in Ukraine have a similar history. Melitopol, Ternopol, Mariupol, Nikopol and others.`` --- I should have thought of that (Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** CUBA. 13772-trace, 13628/13627 best S7-S9 with F# tones, 13556 S5, 13485-trace, 13414-trace vs CODAR, Feb 25 at 1453, extremely distorted spurblobs out of 13700-AM at 71-73 kHz intervals; should have been more on the plus side, undiscovered. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2075) ** CUBA. 15700, Feb 25 at 1531, China Plus relay is S9/+10 but JBM; something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2075) ** U S A [and non].

To be sure, I check the same and only Kansas City Kiwi where I confirmed KCTE overtime and underfrequency two nights ago, and yes, no sign of it now there either. Did Union Broadcasting get religion, fix it forever following the negative publicity I gave them about their flaws being so obvious not only to Oklahoma, but Scandinavia? Chat fance. QRX for resumption of decade+long, if sporadic escapes from required parameters. Also I mention on this week`s WOR 2075. At least, KGBC Galveston is still LAHing below 1540.

** BRAZIL. Immediately after posting last log, Chris Mackerell, NZ explains why RNA DRM is no longer making it to Bonaire: ``Change of antenna beam. Good decoding here in New Zealand from 0400 UTC onwards. Not 100% but some nice audio at times, and the Journaline news service decodes. 73 Chris, Marahau, New Zealand`` --- Viz.:
``22 Feb --- In Brazil DRM on SW Being Redirected to the Populous South-Central Part --- The Brazilian DRM shortwave transmission at 11910 kHz is now using an antenna that provides coverage for the south-central part of the country.`` Plus the usual DRM hype: https://www.drm.org/in-brazil-drm-on-sw-being-redirected-to-the-populous-south-central-part/ So now maybe some of the Brazilian SDRs are getting it sufficiently. But, but, what about the dear Amazon, where DRM is so very much needed? O wait, where were the receivers among the tribes? Is it still carrying the Brasília 96.1 music FM channel? Ivo Ivanov replies: ``Very good signal with decoding February 24 at 0550 UT on 11910 kHz via SDR São Bernardo do Campo, Brasil``. So Feb 24 at 2356 I also check the SBC SDR and find an S8 signal but solid decode of MPB and ID, 18+ dB SNR and 12.52 kbps, also headlines. Distance 892 km = 554 stmi to SSE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) *** CUBA. 13765 approx., S9 FMish RHC spurblob with F# tone, Feb 24 at 1517, also circa 13836, 13634, 13566, first- and second-orders out of 13700-AM at about 65 kHz intervals. Something`s always wrong at RHC. I continue to be amazed that everyone else seems to ignore these. RHC does not deserve a pass for constantly messing up our spectrum (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, Feb 24 at 1852, RHC mentioning that today is 60th anniversary of first ``Onda Corta Experimental Cubana``, leading up to RHC inauguration officially on Mayday. I`ve read some dispute that it axually started a few weeks earlier. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Must be the most self-congratulatory of SW stations. It`s always something (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GERMANY [non]. Re 15215, Feb 21 at 1600-1658: ``On Sun, Feb 21, 2021 at 10:58 AM, Glenn Hauser wrote: `I assume Richard Langley or someone will archive the entire hour for more convenient hoering.` Finally archived here: https://shortwavearchive.com/archive/radio-mrang-february-21-2021 and here: https://archive.org/details/radio-oomrang-15.215-mhz-21-february-2021-1600-utc -- Richard Langley`` (Glenn Hauser, Feb 24, WOR) ** SWAZILAND [and non]. 11780, Feb 24 at 1523, S7-S9 in HOA language, certainly not Brasil which maybe is breaking at midday; TWR music-box IS once and off by 1530*.

** BRAZIL. 11905-11910-11915, Feb 24 at 0338 and earlier chex this hour, RNA DRM noise JBA via Bonaire SDR, but waterfall shows it`s there as the SSOB and virtually the OSOB on 25m. Only S5 and will not even start to decode partially. Is it propagation, or a reduxion in parameters? Was not getting it last night either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CRIMEA. 5916.0-CW, Feb 24 at 0313, bandscanning 49/50 mb via TWR Bonaire SDR, I hit upon some automated CW here QRMing weak broadcast music station on 5915.0, presumably Zambia. Never caught an ID but may have been one a few minutes later when switched to hand-keyed? EiBi has the answer: Russian navy, RCV, 24 hours from se site for SE Europe, i.e. ``Sevastopol 44N56-34E28``, which is really in Crimea, its major port, not Russia; and in both Ukrainian and Russian the name ends with a soft-sign, so append that apostrophe! Sevastopol`. It`s the largest city in Krim, and not to be confused with the second-largest but capital, Simferopol`, which used to host (disinformation?) a R. Moscow transmitter site. And what does the -opol` suffix mean? BTW, I can`t help but notice that this Bonaire KiwiSDR altho above average in most respects, suffers from some local noise blobs especially on this band, which I find peaking roughly 15 kHz wide, like 5812-5827, 5876-5885, 5942-5958, 6010-6025, 6076-6091, 6140-6155, i.e.. about 65 kHz intervals (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, Feb 23 at 1539, RHC is S9 fading to S1 but just barely modulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13836 S2 F# tone, 13768 best, 13633 S3, Feb 23 at 1540, spurblobs out of 13700-AM which is S8-S9 but JBM like 15140, ending `Sonido Cubano` music show. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13680, Feb 24 at 0006 and still 0020, Spanish is still on despite European service supposed to run 2100-2400* only per EiBi, and so it`s // 13740, nominally 2200-0500 for S America; but both VG signals here. Something`s always wrong at RHC. I was checking 13750 for R. Thailand English to North America, but ha2, JBA as always (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

Well, yes, if it weren`t OK, the FCC would have caught and fined them multiple times in the past decade, right? This time I get the frequency by zero-beating (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1539.96 approx., Feb 24 at 0250 UT, usual low audible het to 1540.0 stations such as KXEL.
