** AZORES. 6114, Feb 1 at 0707, RTTY INTRUDER rapid FSK is S9 vs much
weaker 6115 Nikkei Japan. Had hoped the RTTY were gone for good, last
heard on January 13 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9666.561, Feb 1 at 0656, R. Voz Missionária, nominal 9665,
now more than halfway to 9667 from 9666, S3-S6 but VG modulation with
music, the main/only? overnite ZY on 31m. Have not noticed them on
5939- lately (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9899.604, Jan 31 at 2200, UTwente is locking on to an S8
signal here but only hearing tones; it is the exact favorite channel
of Radio Cairo.

9899.605v, Feb 1 at 2136, via UXTwente, R. Cairo English is S9+25 but
only modulation is occasional scratches and some hum. Something`s
always egregious at Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 515 MCW kHz, Feb 1 at 0701 UT, PN, ND beacon at
Ponca City, is OFF. Log search indicates last outage briefly had ended
on August 16, and always heard since until now. Still off at 2326
check.

Can this be coincidental?: 14 hours earlier there was an earthquake
not far away, also felt in Enid, but not by me. USGS: ``Magnitude 4.5
- 7 km NW of Medford, Oklahoma, 2022-01-31 17:10:21 (UTC) 36.851°N
97.794°W 7.9 km depth``. Blamed on disposal wells:

``UPDATED: OCC orders disposal wells near quake epicenter to shut down
--- Kat Jeanne | Enid News & Eagle Jan 31, 2022``

https://www.enidnews.com/news/updated-occ-orders-disposal-wells-near-quake-epicenter-to-shut-down/article_b296387a-82bb-11ec-8e33-771cddd06187.html

``OCC directive shuts down 7 wells near quake epicenter
Enid News & Eagle 2 hrs ago``

https://www.enidnews.com/news/local_news/occ-directive-shuts-down-7-wells-near-quake-epicenter/article_184e1eaa-83af-11ec-8d19-b73a2ee0d4ed.html

25-watt PN was my strongest beacon, even while 341 EI Enid, and 255 SW
Stillwater were on, both still missing; while 350 RG OKC remains. Few
other OKies are ever heard, sometimes 267 HET Henryetta.

Another check Feb 2 circa 0245 UT, still no PN - a complete beacon
bandscan, still with elevated line noise level about 350-420 kHz,
finds hardly anything out of state, just the beefy WG Winnipeg
kilowatt dashing in on 248 MCW. This may be due to this WWV info:

``Solar-terrestrial indices for 01 February follow.
Solar flux 129 and estimated planetary A-index 7.
The estimated planetary K-index at 0300 UTC on 02 February was 4.
No space weather storms were observed for the past 24 hours.
Space weather for the next 24 hours is predicted to be moderate.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G2 level are likely`` (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1640 kHz, Feb 2 at 0250 UT, surprised to hear KZLS Enid
with silly ballgame, Tulsa vs Wichita State. KZLS recently started
simulcasting with co-owned 96.9 KQOB as ``The Eagle``, but now they
are split again, KQOB still with Alex Jones nonsense. I was not aware
that either ever broke far-right talk format or ex-rock music, for
SBGs, but could easily have missed them (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** PERU. 4810, Feb 2 at 0246, JBA carrier direct, maybe trace of
modulation, presumed R. Logos active again. Had been missing from
bandscans mostly later at night. LSB required to avoid Martinique
STANAG on plus side. At 0326 trying the Duitama, Aguadas, Caldas,
Colombia KiwiSDR, but it`s broken again with NO SW signals showing on
the H2Ofall but plenty of noise. It was getting WRMI/WOR/9955 just
fine 3.5 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.004, Jan 31 at 2349, via UTwente, VOT is on
today VG S9+35 but the transmitter with squeals. 2354 sign-off
claiming this has been the 1330-1430 broadcast on 12035. Only fragment
of IS before 2355* chopped off air uncovering Chinese mixing with
music, but seems one transmission rather than QRM; 2400 timesignal a
sesquisecond late as received roundaboutedly.

5960, Feb 1 at 2325, NO signal from VOT direct. Evidently came on
later: 2347 check via UTwente, now S9+30/40, good modulation level
except for squeal, sign-off reciting entire English schedule and
obviously wrong note that the 22-23 & 03-04 are recorded, those being
the times they would and will be on in A-seasons. Then to IS which
keeps playing after 2356 when German IDs start to be inserted twice a
minute: I count six of them; 2400 timesignal mixes with that from
CCCCCCI, not quite synchronized; sign-on in German with irrelevant
satellite parameters, announcers never aware they are accidentally on
SW at this hour. Still on past 0003 but not for full hour. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2123 monitoring: confirmed Tue Feb
1 at 2349 the 2330 on WRMI 9955, S9+25/30 into Aguadas, Caldas,
Colombia SDR, which is back in business; jamming audible way under.
SAM mode shows 9955 carrier is -2.4 Hz low, but tuned to 10000, shows
WWV as -3.5 varying to -4.0 Hz: I think not! That means this WRMI
really be about one sesquiHertz plus. 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

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

** U S A. (7490.1v), UT Tue Feb 1 at 0000, WBCQ webcast with secret
semi-repeat of `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot` from fullcast 25 hours
earlier when I was distracted. This week, ``Oy Canada``, presented by
two self-confessed Gentiles, with guest Fred Waterer, about Jewish
entertainers, actors and comedians, from Canada. Great fun, starting
with O Canada sounding like Hatiqvah; William Shatner monolog about
how yes, he *is* Canadian, etc., until abrupt chopoff at 2330 for
`Camp Constitution Radio`, this time without a commercial prologue
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** AUSTRALIA. 2368.43, Jan 31 at 1618, continuous Greek songs segued,
no announcements, not even a ToH R. Symban ID past 1700; still 1748+
via SW Sydney SDR
http://sdrvk2ari.hopto.org:8073/?f=2368.43amz10
which I found already tuned to that exact frequency but no one else
using it now, steady S4-S5 but noisy; tnx to WOR iog tips from Brian
Powell, Sydney who had not heard it before but found it was indeed on
the air at 1023; also reported by Kari Kallio, Finland, and Zacharias
Liangas, really in Greece, all using nearby remotes. May be sporadic,
but certainly running overnight now. Little chance of hearing it
direct even if I were DXing pre-sunrise.

Ron Howard also provided news about this Jan 30: ``Noted this unique
posting today - https://radio.chobi.net/DX/bbs/?res:5025#5025

"AUSTRALIA: today 30 January 2022 18h50utc, weak but Radio Symban
heard with the kiwisdr VK2AAK at Near Forster, New South Wales, AUS.
According with the stream: https://radioau.net/symban/ Nico (from
France)" Very strange! Ron (Calif. - recovering from a bad fall, but
making progress!)`` --- but no frequency from Nico (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CANADA. 6660 RCUSB, Jan 31 at 0715 UT, CHU pips JBA on 2 x 3330
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. 7365, Jan 31 at 1445, S8/9+20 Chinese music and
excited talk, CNR1, presumably live simulcast of CCTV New Year
celebrations, as warned by Ron Howard were expected on many
frequencies around 12-16 UT. Also similar but not sure if // on 9390,
huge collision, i.e. jamming RFA Cantonese via Tinian; and 9605, vs
VOA Chinese via Philippines.

I also looked for WOOB CNR1 jammers, if not Firedragon, above & below
11 and 13 MHz, but nothing. Have these diminished, or is it just lack
of propagation and/or scheduling. I think a lot of them used to close
at 1400; but it will take the imposition of DST here to get me up that
early (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ETHIOPIA. 7110, Jan 31 at 0418, R. Ethiopia quite blatantly
INTRUDING with a big S9+20 signal fading to S7 in an Ethiopian
language; nothing on 7140 or 7180 from Eritrea (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 11824.96 approx., Jan 31 at 0424, S4-S7 medical
discussion about strokes, as MWV vies with VOHA for the
Christian-subjected early audience. I suppose it`s African Pathways
Radio, but this broadcast does not appear in WRTH 2022 page 485; in
so-called ``winter`` schedule, the only English is at 03-04 on 13760.
We are referred to ALASKA for more, but page 462 does not show any
`KNLS` programming via Mad! The English at 18-19 on 13670 and 20-21 on
11965 are absent from both. Seasonal nomenclature smax of hemispherism
or northern temperatism (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 AM, Jan 30 at 2303, pirate music; 2343 ballad,
2346 maybe `When A Man Loves A Woman`. 0024 January 31, S8-S5 of
classic rock. 41 posts here say it`s Mix Radio International which
started as unID long before by 1751 on 6875, moving to 6925 at 2229:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,92341.0.html
and finally went off at 0132 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 517 MCW kHz, Jan 31 at 0721 UT, a second JBA NDB under my
strongest `local`, 515 PN Ponca City OK, where I am tuned USB. Tough
copy but maybe RN. Fortunately, PN makes long pauses. DXinfocentre
roster shows most likely it`s FN, 517, 25 watts at Clinton / Hills,
Iowa. Only one dit difference. Previously I had also pulled on 515, OS
at the other OSU, in Ohio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2123 monitoring: Also confirmed
Sunday January 30 at 2100 on AM Italia, 1323 kHz, but with QRM into
UTwente; usual nearby Noale SDR offline. Tuned in before at 2058
something in English about carbon monoxide detectors, UK phone.

Also confirmed Sunday January 30 at 2330 on WRMI 5950, good direct.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 31 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG direct.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 31 at 0230 on WRN N America webcast.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 31 at 0401 on Area 51 via WBCQ
6159.94, S9; preceded by coughing fit at 0358-0401 interrupted by WBCQ
ID at 0400 and a different one just before WOR. Per A51 sked
http://zappahead.net/#2022-0129-area51
the coughing fit is from W.D.C.D. Radio at 0330. Next:

** U S A. 7780, Jan 31 at 0416, S9+6 of dead air from this WRMI. 0400*
is the scheduled closing. I missed all the excitement but WRMI and
apparently much of Florida had power failures early Sunday due to
frigid weather, as described on disgraced FB; I guess the juice froze
in the power lines. Transmitter 14 is the one on 5010 which I was
hearing with a poor signal early UT Jan 31:

``WRMI Radio Miami International 16 hrs ·
Regresó la electricidad a la planta transmisora de WRMI en Okeechobee
después de un apagón de aproximadamente tres horas y pico durante la
noche. Todo está funcionando normalmente otra vez, excepto el
transmisor número 14 que necesita algunas reparaciones. Esperamos
tenerlo en el aire esta noche si todo va bien. La causa del apagón fue
el clima; tuvimos temperaturas debajo de 0 centígrado.

WRMI Radio Miami International 16 hrs · [ago, how precise!]
Power is back on at WRMI -- It has been a brutal night and morning
(Jan 30) here at the WRMI transmitter site in Okeechobee. Electrical
power was out for about three and a half hours due to an extreme
freeze in this area. And when the power returned, we had many problems
with computers and one transmitter damaged. At this time everything is
working normally again, except that we have a problem with transmitter
14 that we hope to have resolved in time for this evening's
transmission.

WRMI Radio Miami International 20 hrs ·
Power is out at WRMI! At approximately 0745 UTC Sunday 30 January, we
lost all electrical power at the WRMI transmitter site in Okeechobee,
Florida. This is the reason that all transmitters and our Internet
stream are off the air. Florida Power & Light is dispatching a team to
our site to try to restore power as soon as possible. The power outage
is caused by the near-freezing conditions at our site tonight, which
is a very unusual situation here in South Central Florida.

Author WRMI Radio Miami International
Gracias Osmany y todos. Ahora la compañía de luz estima que debemos
tener electricidad a las 10 de la mañana hora de Miami (1500 UTC),
pero eso puede cambiar mientras están haciendo las reparaciones.``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Another follow-up on the WOR iog to my WCLV report; yes, I
now recall it had been on 95.5, and I believe originally a commercial
classical station before joining the Ideastream empire:

``My father has older reel to reel airchecks of WCLV clearly
announcing its frequency as 95.5 MHz back in the older days. I
remember growing up in Cleveland falling asleep to the radio on sleep
timer tuned to WCLV. The 7-way swap in 2001 saw them picking up the
former WAKS in Lorain on 104.9 which is where their signal is found
now with very little channel separation from country station WKKY in
Geneva. Ideastream added the station to its stable of properties in
2011.

WKSU was the latest acquisition by Ideastream and was announced last
year. It has a translator network blanketing most of the northeastern
quarter of the state. WCPN would join WKSU and the rest of the
network.

Ideastream owns WCPN-FM, WVIZ-TV, WKSU-FM (and translators), and
WCLV-FM plus a stake in the “Ohio Channel” television channel it runs
in partnership with Ohio Government Telecommunications.

** ZAMBIA. 9680, Jan 31 at 0421, American English with Bible story
about Jacob and Rachel, S6-S9: I bet it`s V of Hope Africa this early:
yes, immediately // 11680 which sounds quite louder but reads slightly
less, S5-S8. WRTH 2022 shows both at 0400-0800 for the so-called
``winter`` 2021-2022 season; the Bible is speaking (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Oceanic JBA MW carrier search, Jan 31 at 0719 UT:
only 9-kHz ones detected are 846, surely Kiritimati; and surprise
1458: lots of Pacific rim area stations but biggest is 200 kW from
somewhere in China; or remnant of 125 kW ethnic R. Lyca from the other
London, UK? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12000, I had not found a DX reference listing the
single-letter beacon Z that I heard, but tnx to Ron Howard for this:

``Letter beacon - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_beacon
According to D.W. Schimmel, in 1986 the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) released the following HF direction finding results
for single letter beacons, all of which indicate locations in the USSR
. . . . Z Mukachevo, Ukraine``

Where is Mukachevo? ``Mukachevo is a city located in the valley of the
Latorica river in Zakarpattia Oblast (province), in Western Ukraine.
Wikipedia`` --- so not in Soviet/Russian occupation zone now; perhaps
no coincidence the oblast starts with 3 = Z (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
