** AUSTRIA [and non]. 5980, Feb 27 at 0251, carrier vs pointless pulse
jamming from Cuba. At 0200-0300, AWR in Urdu, Punjabi via Moosbrunn
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 6754-USB, Feb 27 at 0237, CHR, Trenton Military, is back!
Had been missing exactly a month, first noted absent January 27 also
from 15034-USB daytime. Since then I have bandscanned past 15034 at
least once daily, and 6754-USB less than nightly. 6754-USB is now
S9+10 with usual ``no report received`` from many but not all,
currently Lajes, Keflavik, Shannon, Prestwick. The same repeat a few
times but not always with the same NRRs. 0241 ID ``This is Trenton
Military, Time 0140 Z`` -- so they *still* haven`t set their clock
from 61 minutes slow. Another sesquiweek and it should be almost right
again, if DST/ST caused such confusion. Then into the usual rotation
of Canadian bases, some of them NRR, until the next ID at 0246 as if
``0145 Z``.

15034-USB is also back, Feb 27 at 1546, VG peaking S9+30. The question
is, how did all those Canadian military flights manage without CHR on
SW for a month? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2023)

** CUBA. 6000, Feb 27 at 0250, RHC English is S9+10/20 but JB
modulated; much better on only // 6145. Something`s always wrong at
RHC. BTW, something you will not hear about on RHC! ---

numbers digit-by-digit, only concerning barometer, visibility, wind
speed and direxion, probably for many locations I can`t copy on weak

** U S A. 7505, Feb 27 at 0223-0233+, S9+20 of dead air from WRNO.
What`s the point of transmitting but not modulating? Is the site at
Metairie LA unpersonned, mis-relying on remote control from Fort
Worth? Anyway an improvement over usual gospel-huxtering (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1090, Feb 27 at 0702 UT, KAAY Little Rock AR keeps on going
with commercials and SRN News, failing to provide any ToH deadairhole!
So even less chance to ID anything else besides XEAU in its null, and
het from 1089 UK. This had been going on since at least January 3 when
I first reported it. We`ll hear if KAAY be permanently fixed (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1120, Feb 27 at 0659 UT, KTXW, Manor-Austin ID with KMOX St
Louis nulled. KMOX certainly dominates at night, but I have long been
hearing something else by nulling it, wondering if it were new 50 kW
daytimer KCRN in Colorado, which a while ago was being reported at
night; KTXW is supposed to be only 155 watts night, or is it 5600 day
power? Both of them gospel huxters (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1160, Feb 27 at 0706 UT, KSL Salt Lake UT ID, then a minute
of dead air until Jim Bohannon start at 0707, but with a subhost.
Dratted IBOC from 1170 KFAQ Tulsa QRMs from 1157 peak, nulling as much
as possible; and I suppose KSL return the disfavor on 1173, but much
less obvious here so much closer to Tulsa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1210, Feb 27 at 0708 UT, IDs in English for KUBR San Juan TX
in the RGV and multi-station FM & AM network; otherwise,
gospel-huxtering in Spanish, not to be mistaken for Mexican. I check
this sometimes with KGYN nulled, for 50 kW daytimer in Michigan, WJNL
which for months used to run reliably all night, but apparently not
any more (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7525-USB, Feb 27 at 0220, 2-way unseems Spanish (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0453 UT February 28

** CHINA. 9315, Feb 26 at 1507, VP W&M in Chinese, i.e. CNR1 jammer
against RFA Tibetan via Tajikistan at 11-14 & 15-16, altho Aoki does
not as*erisk the final hour as jammed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Feb 25 at 0723, RHC English is S9+20 and
undermodulated. Instead of one frequency after 0700, two more remain
on, 6100 S9+30/40 undermodulated but slightly better; 6145 S9+10
undermod and noisy. 5040 and 6060 are off. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Feb 25 at 1910, RHC S9+10 of dead air; while 15140 is
S9+20 of distorted, humming, choking Arabic. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 18079-CW, Feb 26 at 1543, CO8LY is the OSOB, per QRZ.com:
CO8LY, Cuba, Eduardo Somoano Cremati, P.O. Box 104, Santiago de Cuba
90100, Cuba, but QSL only via manager in Spain. I used to hear him on
the 12 m band, but now he`s the OSOB on ``17`` m. And nothing on the
16 m ISWBC band either. He`s quite a contester with numerous awards,
and portrait:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15369.234, Feb 25 at 2303, RHC is S9+10 and distorted, now
day 14 = two weeks of off-frequency, which is very stable, every time
I measure it within 1 or 2 Hz, maybe within my own margin of error.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 341 kHz, Feb 25 around 1530 UT, no signal from EI, Enid`s
only NDB at Woodring Airport; nor at various other times, night and
day, so gone again, for good or not? Was always very weak here a few
km, and even fewer miles away. I`m thinking that many years ago there
was one on 212 kHz with a different call, ODG? But have not been able
to find any reference to it. That`s the current VOR call on VHF (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 25 at 2302, notably, VOT English is on today but
undermodulated. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7185-LSB, Feb 25 at 1920, KX4BI calling `CQ Parx On the
Air`` and making quick pro-forma contacts as if it were some contest.
POTA is one of the logos on his QRZ.com, i.e. KX4BI, Vance E Henry,
Killen, AL 35645 USA, which is in the NW corner of Alabama. What park?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565-CW, Feb 26 at 1457, K6FRC HIFER beacon is JBA again,
never heard in the afternoons (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13852+, 13836+, 13804-, 13788-, 13772-, Feb 25 at 1535,
JJBBA carriers at slightly more than 16 kHz multiples above and below
13820, Radio Martí which is S9+40 on fundamental; at 1615 I manage to
measure one, 13852.202, which amounts to 16.101 kHz each. Some later
chex inaudible, fundamental level not reaching threshold. They would
probably say the spurs are a sufficient db down, so hearing them at
all is a challenge (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, Feb 25 at 1902, I resolve to listen to SMTV via WRMI
since I happen to catch them *not* wasting time listing all their
cable TV channels: about Aussie bush fire relief with vegan food,
music background; 1907 the SM thanx everyone; 1908 about UNICEF vs
flooding in Malawi; S9+10 with deep fades (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5050, Feb 25 at 0725, open carrier again, S9-S7, maybe a
trace of modulation? Not related to 5040 Cuba which is now off.

Also Feb 26 at 0627, S7-S8, trace of mod? vs S6-S7 noise level. Now
5040 RHC is still on and splashing. Other ideas: could be an harmonic
x 5 of a 1010 station; or in this shared fixed/broadcast band, utility
such as an idle RTTY transmitter only occasionally vivified. Not
local, as Ron Howard replies:

``Glenn - On Feb 26, random checking of 5050 kHz, between 0452-0620,
and heard your UNID. Found there with a significant level carrier, but
never any trace of audio; no modulation at all. Still UNID. Ron``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1853 UT February 26

** CUBA. 9538-9590, Feb 24 at 2220, range of splatter from filthy
wall-of-noise jamming centered on 9565 vs Radio Martí. 9535 RHC barely
escapes it.

9925-9980, Feb 24 at 2221, range of splatter from WON jamming centered
on 9955 vs WRMI, i.e. against the Argentine historical media program
`La Rosa de Tokio`, Monday being the only DOW that 9955 is in Spanish
during this hour! NOT amicable. Always excessive and wasteful the
DentroCuban Jamming Command. Probably jams every day at this hour, and
many other unnecessary times: take that, RMI, for daring to emit any
exiles! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU. 5980, Feb 24 at 2328, JBA carrier from Radio Chaski vs Cuban
pulse jamming against nothing else; until autocutoff at 2352:27.5*.
Last check was Feb 18 until 2352:40*, 6 days ago and 12.5 seconds
later, so averaging slightly over 2 seconds earlier per noctem.

My first definite timing in latest cycle was until 2355:27.5* on
November 26, 2019 --- That was 90 days ago, and exactly 3.0 minutes or
180.0 seconds later, making for a very neat exact 2.00 seconds
long-term average and they have not reset the timer so far, as 2
seconds a day is hardly noticeable to them. Nor could there have been
any power failure over three months, as that would surely have knocked
askew this inexorable slippage; speaks well for Urubamba Electric
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN [non]. 9490, Feb 25 at 0108, no signal from RTI`s alleged
4-night test in Spanish to S America at 0100-0130 via mystery site. It
was supposed to start UT Feb 23 but not checked until now. There was a
JBA signal in Chinese(?) until 0100* as RTI was already scheduled
direct from Taiwan so more likely audible is CNR1 jamming. It would
hardly make sense to try a mostly day-path on 9 MHz band to the other
worldside.

It goes off at 0100 sharp and nothing further detectable here, so I
spot-check 9490 on numerous remotes starting with UTwente after
confirming WOR at 0108 on 7780: Nothing there. Nor any of these until
0119: Nanning, Rockport, KFS, NSW, Tokyo, Pardinho, Florida, VE6JY,
Bogota, RSA. Rockport and KFS do get some residual jamming. I think
it`s safe to say the test is not on air tonight. Wolfgang Bueschel
reached the same conclusion. He was getting it last night UT Feb 24,
best signal via Sevilla SDR. His best guesses for site: Issoudun,
Nauen or Moosbrunn, discounting Kostinbrod and Maiac (Bulgaria,
Pridnestrovye) because their audio quality is not so good.

Then wb and I both asked Jeff White, now at HFCC Malaysia, to confirm
whether it`s WRMI via Issoudun. I had figured this was the obvious
source since RMI/TDF was already registered 9490, but unused at 0100,
rather Radio República not until *0200 as I recently monitored. Jeff
replies to me: ``No, we have nothing to do with these RTI tests, and
TDF knows nothing about them either.``

BTW, Aljazeera computes that as of Feb 23, Malaysia had 22 confirmed
Coronavirus cases but 15 had recovered and been released. HFCC had
been planned for China but had to be removed.

A repeat of the Spanish test was supposed to be at 0300-0330 on 9500,
but not heard then either by Bogotá, but a JBA carrier here UT Feb 25,
probably CNR1 as scheduled. I don`t bother to check all the other
remotes again. So the mystery remains: whence the tests, will they
recur tomorrow, and/or become permanentized? If we do have another
chance, TDOA should be invoked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 24 at 2305, 2327 and 2350 chex, NO signal from
Voice of Turkey, English to North America. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler.

I also found no such signal Feb 23 at 2340, but Wolfgang Bueschel was
hearing it at 2315-2323 in Europe and via remotes in eastern America.
Maybe it went off early (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13740, Feb 23 at 1555, this RHC still on with S9+20 of dead

a repeat, altho one year they had to reschedule when the first AM one
failed. VG with a few dropouts via the KC2QII KiwiSDR, as I still am
not motivated to tune any DRM directly myself. Once again a couple of
brief bits in English at 1626 & 1628 introducing interviews in
Frisian, which I do not understand any better in DRM than in AM. Just
caught tail of sign-off also in English until 1659* (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-AM, Feb 23 at 0214, JBA music not // 1390 so
not fifth harmonic of local KCRC. 0348 still there but at 0412 I do
find it // 1390. Maybe this what I was getting at first, with enough
AM carrier from the KCRC X 5 local harmonic to make it seem AM: unID
6950-USB 0143-0155:

However, earlier, Loopy Radio was on 6950.3-AM until 2340*:

But this was later and not noted to be +0.3 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. As mentioned previously, Kyle Williams, president of
Williams Broadcasting, LLC, licensee of 103.1 KOFM, 100.9 K265FL and
its AM dog 960 KGWA, was among the speakers at The Entrepreneur 2020,
a 2-day series of seminars at NWOSU sponsored in part by the Charles
Koch Foundation, Feb 21 at 1930 UT -- previous one ran over and did
not start until 1953. It was supposed to be audio/video-linked to
three other NWOSU campi but no one showed up there.

Despite his original billing as head of the radio stations, those are
only a minor part, it seems, of his business empire, so we learned
absolutely nothing about the local broadcasting scene; rather his life
story of trying and failing and then succeeding.

In the Q&A I wanted to ask him about naming his studio for a funeral
home, but figured more important was, ``As a Christian who `loves
people`, how can you justify broadcasting a hate-monger like Rush
Limbaugh?`` Answer: ``because he loves the lord`` --- there you go!
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 22 at 2300, VOT timesignal ends one sesquisecond
later than WWV as usual; sign-on with totally wrong English schedule
as usual, e.g. this transmission at 22-23 on 9830 which is when and
where it is in summer A-seasons. Something`s always awkward at Ankara.
Already off at 2349 recheck, if it lasted for entire transmission, but
no collision this week of German from Turkey vs English from Germany,
Mighty Farty KBC at 0000 Feb 23 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 410 kHz, Feb 23 at 0721 UT, ND beacon BA, which is 25 watts
from Columbus - Clifford, Indiana. Altho spring storms are not yet a
problem on LW/MW, I now have local line noise bothering this band
only, difficultizing DX --- hard to hear anything new, as this is not
either, altho I still pulled but not relogged CBC Cayman Brac on 415
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6477.5-CW, Feb 22 at 2358, V marker from KPH, the MRHS
legacy station at Point Reyes, California; V/CQ marine markers are so
rare these days that any really stand out. Longer message repeating, I
suppose with QSX info, not copied; active weekends only (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565-CW, Feb 23 at 1452, K6FRC beacon audible again vs
CODAR. Daily I check the entire HIFER/ISM band 13550-13570 and this is
the only one I ever hear, rarely. What about all the others on this
roster, including latest dates reported somewhere, 2020, 2019 or
2018y?
https://www.lwca.net/sitepage/part15/index.htm
In years past I had heard several of those, at least three still on
the list, GNK, MTI, SZX. K6FRC shown as 13565.035, 10 wpm (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2022 monitoring: Ivo Ivanov,
Bulgaria, reports ``Fair signal of World of Radio #2022 on February
22: 1300-1330 on 15770 RMI 100 kW / 044 deg to WeEu English Sat``

Also confirmed UT Sunday Feb 23 at 0432 from WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, via
K9MQ KiwiSDR in IN/IL, about 5 minutes in, so started circa 0427; lots
of LSB ACI, and then on 160m direct I find it full of phone signals,
as happens only during a contest; amazing what a difference that make
to normal ops. Earlier at 0349, 1860 here was VG S9+20. Next:

OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Feb 22 at 2305 NO signal from WBCQ-6: oh2, another
breakdown? Not for long; is there at 2350 check, only fair in
Brazuguese. Apparently still on a scheduled break at 2200-2300.

9330, Feb 23 at 1919, NO signal from World`s Last Chance, supposed to
be on now in Arabic, which ought to be audible tho aimed thataway.
Oh3, another breakdown? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5130.0, Feb 23 at 0001 tune-in, WBCQ dead air, shortly
``Loituma Girl`` IS and TimTron opening, S9+10. Meanwhile, other WBCQ
on 7490.2v was also S9 of dead air at 0001. Later in evening without
measuring, noticed closer to 7490.1v (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9350, Sat Feb 22 after 2100, WWCR-2 with `Encore` classical
music from Radio Tumbril in Scotland. Brice announces that this airing
will end after next week, as will the WBCQ at 0100 UT Monday on 7490
--- but it`s moving to WRMI, starting Feb 29 [UT March 1], UT Sunday
0100 on 5850 to the NW, and UT Monday 0300 on 9455 to the NNW. Glad
this excellent show will continue on SW! But these WRMI frequencies
are not webcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Feb 23 at 0125, WTWW-2 not checked earlier, but
no theatre organ music now; was it earlier or never? Now it`s rock;
and at 0211 I notice 5085 is off the air, while $ tereo webcast
continues. At 0238 DJ recommends SWLs tune to the webcast --- but
there are no SWLs at the moment; 0350 check it`s on again with rock DJ
requests (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5050, Feb 23 at 0645, mystery carrier here again, S8-S9
but no modulation audible vs 5040 RHC splash. Another possibility:
like the 11850 transmitter, a +10 kHz JBA spur from it; but cannot
hear a match at minus 10 on 5030, altho more splash there from 5025.
Further, the crummy modulation of 5040 is not like that on 11850 if it
were same transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13671.7, Feb 23 at 1455, JBA carrier. Does not correlate
with 13820 OCB, 13740 or 13700 RHC as spurs, and no siblings found in
quick scan. Possibly a local device or birdie but not there at 1920
check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
