** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Feb 16 at 1520, no signal of LRA36 into
two Brazilian SDRs, but JBA this Wednesday into Brasília, and
Montevideo, S1-S2 with 1525 ID, 1527 Antárdida themesong, past 1547
but gone before 1603. Sam Sánchez, Oregon had it as early as 1414 via
Brasília; and Wolfgang Büschel, Germany, 1500-1520 via Montevideo
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 6000, Feb 16 at 0700, S9+20 of dead air from RHC;
all other frequencies are off already as I expect this one shortly
shall be too. Something`s always wrong? at RHC. 5040 however bears a
JBA carrier, presumably VANUATU (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 7220, Feb 16 at 2305, I am plenty busy simulmonitoring
English from SPAIN and TURKEY [qq.vv.] at once but make a quick check
of RRI: at UTwente, very heavy rapid clicking ranging 7200-7240, OTH
radar? centred right on maybe a trace of RRI. But at Maryland SDR,
much further beyond W European target, RRI is loud and clear with none
of that QRM. Or could be local problem at UTwente? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Feb 16 at 2307, token REE English is not off the
air but VG S9+15/27 into Maryland SDR. After news, feature about a
``ghost village`` uncovered in a draining reservoir; 2310 about Gala
cinema awards in Valencia, not in Castilian. Shortly retune to TURKEY,
q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Feb 16 tune-in from Spain at 2316, closing
a `Feeling Supreme` feature about some remedy, +018 Hz offset and
S9+35 into UTwente but annoying hum. Otherwise sufficient modulation
and no squeal. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. 2318 `Weekly
Commentary` penned by someone in a Washington DC branch, but neither
intro nor outro can I understand their name or credentials, as voiced
by the YL with heavy accent, but it`s about Qatar as a useful non-NATO
ally. 2329, `Turkey`s Cultural Treasures,` something dating back
thousands of years; but at 2330 it`s my time for `NBC Nightly [sic]
News` already before sunset here. Later always enjoyable Turkish music
fill, 2353 the usual OM announcer sign-off of the ``1230-1330 on 15450
to Europe`` broadcast! Which is doubly erroneous, the A-season
scheduling only. Something`s always awry at Ankara. The CCCCCCI has
been growing and uncovered at VOT 2354* after only a fragment of one
IS iteration (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re 305 kHz, my Feb 15 log of beacon OI, S. Sioux City NE,
Rick Barton replies: ``Hey Glenn. My only expertise here is being a
DXer and being the son of two general aviation pilots.

Many of the NDBs used to set up approaches to airports use 5 letter
names, i.e., "BILOY" that sets up for Billard Airport in Topeka,
Kansas. of course, the beacon call is "TO". This is also true of
enroute IFR "intersections", such as the "PAYSO" intersection, NW of
Phoenix, but close to Payson, AZ. Another beacon, that sets up an
approach for Charles City (IA) airport, is designated "CHUKK" (get it?
Charles, Chuck Hi HI).

Anyway, I learned over time that some of the airnav sites are named
for purely local things like nearby golf courses, businesses, rivers
and lakes, or even ghost towns. Someone from South Sioux City, Neb.
might have your answer.

It may be that the airport where the beacon is located, Martin Field,
was named for Tom Martin. Beacons "at the field" are usually named for
the airport itself, and may not use the 5 letter rule. But I took a
look at the aviation chart and saw right off that the beacon is one of
two that set up approaches for Sioux City Gateway Airport's Runway
13/31. (The other beacon is SU-"SALIX"). It may have been convenient
that the nearby town of Salix, IA, has 5 letters! 73 from the Sonoran
Desert - rb`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 335 MCW kHz, Feb 16 at 0654 UT, BV, 25-watt ND
beacon at BatesVille, Arkansas; mixing with dash and YLD, 1000 watts
at Chapleau, Ontario which is normally heard without any BV.

245 MCW kHz, Feb 16 at 0700 UT, FS, 400 watt NDB at Sioux Falls, South
Dakota; tuned to 243 USB. A regular not always logged, but note not a
trace now nor ever on 243 of RTLuxembourg, which WRTH says is 24h with
750,000 watts day, 375,000 night, direxional 227 degrees toward Paris
from Beidweiler site (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9899.60, Feb 15 at 2121 check, R. Cairo is 100% improved: NO
signal into UTwente! However, at 2204 UT, Andy Reid, Ontario tells the
WOR iog: ``With varying degrees of audio quality, I don’t believe it
is the transmitters. They are on now in English 9900 with some audio
squeaking though. I did hear the word “president“!`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960+, Feb 15 at 2333, VOT direct is S9/S6 but just barely
modulated. Checking UTwente at 2348 it`s +016 Hz high, undermodulated
but sufficient if you turn up the volumes on strong S9+27 signal;
compared to e.g. much louder 6015 station, Kazakh from East Turkistan,
standard denunciation. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. 2353
unusual s/off by heavily accented YL as if this were the 1330
broadcast, IS until 2356* uncovering another Urumqi in Chinese, its
CCCCCCI having been audible before TRT quit. Now at least until the
0000 timesignal, another carrier is making a rumbling SAH, unaccounted
for in listings, so I guess it may be the Emirler exciter before
turned off completely (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 305 MCW kHz, Feb 15 at 0711 UT, OI, 25-watt ND beacon at
sIOux City / Tommi, Iowa. What means Tommi? Top search hits lead to a
Finnish masculine name; a girl`s name and a VR game. Adding Sioux City
leads to S.C. people named that; and OI axually located across the
border in South Sioux City, Nebraska!
https://opengovny.com/place/ChIJwxQS3cQGjocRz90zVBZkN3M
Also leads to a street view of the transmitter box and antenna. Still
lacking is any explanation of why this and so many other NDBs are at
such weirdly nicknamed airports. Auroral conditions, hardly any
Canadians or other USonians making it now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2125 monitoring: confirmed new UT
Tuesday February 15 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, VG into Minneapolis SDR;
preceded by music fill,``My Sweet Love`` at 0128 tune-in.

Also confirmed Tue Feb 15 at new 2330 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/20 direct
including considerable pulse jamming by the incompetent Cubans. Next:

1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

** U S A. 9455, Feb 15 at 1612, NO signal from WRMI-5 which is
supposedly 24/7 including TOMBS cult all day, according to skedgrid
now labeled as ``WRMI B21 Broadcast Schedule as of January 20, 2023``
[sic!]; but other WRMIs, 9395 & 9955 are on and well audible. 9455
azimuth is 285 degrees, close to thisaway, same as 7730 which when on
has a better signal here.

On 9455, no sign either of CNR1 jammer or RFA Chinese via Saipan as
scheduled this hour, but M/W/F only and this is Tuesday, instead:

9720, Feb 15 at 1613, music with fast SAH, repeating melody like an
unknown interval signal, 1614 other music, S6-S8. This is the Tue &
Thu RFA Chinese via SAIPAN frequency and CNR1 jammer, instead of 9455
M/W/F. So what about 16-17 UT Sat & Sun? 9900 shown by WRTH 2022. This
jumparound obviously does not escape ChiCom jamming, so why bother?
Must confuse casual non-DXer listeners.

9455 is back on with SMTV cult at next check 0118 UT Feb 16; as WRMI
skedgriddled at 01-07 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
