** CUBA. 15140, Sun Feb 25 at 1607, RHC in weekly Esperanto, S8/S9
undermodulated, // much better 11760, S9/+5. I bet they still fail to
announce 15140, which tries to be on. Circa 07 UT Sunday, RHC found
nowhere, so likely no Espo at 08. When and where will be the third
broadcast Sunday afternoon? Io ĉiam misas ĉe RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** DENMARK. 25800, Feb 25 at 1606, JBA carrier again from presumed
World Music Radio; if really wanted to hear it, would try some
remotes; but plenty of music already available (Glenn Hauser, OK,

of S5/S7, 0705 opening Ukrainian, as scheduled Sundays only until
0800. Note: altho I do not bother with it, the Santa Maria di Galeria
site is not in VC proper, but some distance away otherwise in Italy,
or ``Vatican City Extraterritorial Area`` as they say in MARE. WRTH
does not even make any note of this. Country-counters may squabble
about whether there be two or three radio-countries around Roma. There
used to be a small SW transmitter inside VC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, thoro bandscan on
R75 with internal N/S shortwire as the Wellbrook loop is out of
service, Feb 25 at 0226-0233 UT, by 9-kHz steps one kHz below in USB
tuning: 684, 693, 711, 774-2, 855, 891-2, 963 only 3 kHz from local
KGWA 960, 999, 1044, 1053, 1089, 1098, 1125-2, 1215, 1305, 1314, 1431,
1503.

Unusual for a beat on 891, 140/minute = 2.33 Hz. mwoffsets and mwlist
indicate by power, precision, activity, time and geography, the
station other than Algeria on 890.997 would be IRAN on exactly
891.0000, Radio Dena at Deh Dasht.

Then for a change, I switch to LSB tuning from 1 kHz above the 9/kHz
frequencies, and downward from 0234 UT: this should favor uncovering
some others especially ending in 9, 8 or 7: 1386 only 4 kHz below

** CUBA. 12000, Feb 24 at 0653, RHC English JBA on 2 x 6000, where
it`s S9+20/30 undermodulated. Correlating nicely with good 12 MHz prop
from Cuba: pulse jamming on 12060, S3/S4, 2 x 6030 against Martí but
no trace of victim here; also jam on 11930, see ROMANIA (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

Radio. I always check for this direct along with 25900 BBC WOF after
1600, but first time have had any trace; supposedly sked 24/7. BBC no
stronger than usual. Still no trace of also 24/7 WMR on 15700, from
two different sites, 300 or 600 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

estimated 15710.1; 1625, S9+5/15 into UTwente when measured; it`s ISS
with Sat-only broadcast at 1600 of RMI-brokered Moresh Voice of
Amhara, clandestine for Ethiopia in Amharic; chopoff in progress at
1630*. Something`s always inexact at Issoudun (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 11930, Feb 24 at 0651, RRI English much weaker

no signal from WTWW-2. Just as I was starting to write this item,
George McClintock called with an update. Has been off the air because
Ted had wired the tuning mechanism backwards; when trying to tune
beyond mid-range, it broke. Will try to tune manually, maybe back on
air tonight. Continental guy has been working on #1 transmitter; says
it is not just repairing but restoring, as *everything* was wrong tnx
to Ted. The Harris #3 transmitter is also being worked on. WORLD OF

** ROMANIA. 11930, Feb 23 at 0652, surprised to encounter something in
English, S7/S9 direct, in fact the SSOB = strongest signal on band.
Normally nothing but leftover Cuban jamming against R. Martí, but none
audible now. EiBi shows the only 11930 besides RM at 14-01 is RRI
Galbeni to Europe at 0630-0700; Aoki lax RRI but adds Riyadh, Sa`udi
Arabia in Arabic at 1755-2257. Is that really on air? We could hardly
notice it here vs the Cuban radio war. Std remark about avoiding any
frequency ever jammed by Cuba, tho RRI in luck this time. Aoki also
fails to * Martí as jammed! nor does EiBi show any separate entries
for noise jamming. HFCC nothing but RM and RRI but the latter as N =
DRM! 90 kW 300 degrees from Galbeni: certainly not, this in AM. Not in
drmrx.org either. RRI own B23 English sked shows only two DRM
frequencies elsewhen, not including 11930:

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Feb 23 at 2300, token English from SNR, sufficient
direct on DX-390 with clipon, 2301 news, first items about a major
fire, and corruption case concerning COVID masks; much better on R75
with shortwire: 2309 contact info by Justin Coe, including they

IS, 0100 s/on Luso-Portuguese! Takes about 2 minutes to recite all the
satellite parameters, etc., not copied in detail but with Turkish
times, one at 22h and this one at 04. Supposedly no Portuguese at all,
but someone recently heard them announce 7280 at this time, so now
intentional? Time yes, but nothing on 7280. By 0103 I recheck 5960:
now it`s suddenly off, uncovering Chinese from XJRTV, EAST TURKISTAN,
land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Muslims;
trying to outdo Turkey against the Armenians? 0104 I check 7280 again
and *now* it is on in Portuguese, VG really 7280.006. Somethings`
