** CUBA [and non?]. 5040, Jan 3 at 0432, S7-S9 open carrier, RHC? Too

Something`s always wrong? at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9650, Jan 3 at 0450, RHC Spanish, S9+20, overmodulated &

supposed to switch from 9710 at 0000. // always weaker 9535 for C

** CUBA. 9700, Jan 3 at 0452, RHC English here instead of alt. 6165,

noticed, but 5085 suddenly dropped off the air sometime about an hour
ago (now 0413). Clearly a fault of some sort. Just now, I'm catching
microsecond bursts of speech, so they're trying to fix things at WTWW.

Logs
** CANADA. 351 MCW kHz, Jan 3 at 0422 UT, dash and YKQ, 500 watt NDB
at Fort Rupert / Waskaganish, Québec. I was tuned to 350 USB, another
check for RG in OKC, still AWOL. This is at the southern tip of James
Bay near the Ontario border (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [non]. 11790, Mon Jan 3 at 1607, Horn-of-Africish song, talk
mentions Iesus Christ, S7/S9. It`s Bible Voice in Oromo via Nauen,
GERMANY, per Aoki Sun/Mon/Tue only with other Ethiopian languages in a
convoluted schedule until 1800. What a shame Canada`s #1 SW voice to
the world are gospel huxters instead of RCI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non?]. 5040, Jan 3 at 0432, S7-S9 open carrier, RHC? Too
weak unless something be drastically wrong; too strong and too early
to be Vanuatu. 5025 Rebelde is also much weaker than usual.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 1670+, Jan 3 at 0720, music making a low audible heterodyne
on the plus side of talk from WOZN Wisconsin, which had been the
dominant 1670 here, surely the new, Mexican as Terry Krueger,
Niceville FL, has just measured: ``1670.05 MEXICO XEFCR Reynosa,
Tamaulipas 0718 12/23/21 Still here and on the high side with nonstop
pop oldies``. Otherwise I have a tough time getting Mexican X-banders
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 350 MCW kHz, January 3 at 1555, RG, NDB at OKC is still
off the air. Guess flights into/outof Will Rogers World Airport don`t
really need it. Other Okies remain off for a long time: 255 SW
Stillwater, and 341 EI Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11815v, Jan 3 at 1606 UT, VOT Turkish is strong enough to
audiblize squeal on transmitter, much like WEWN; could it be the same
model? Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2119 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
January 2 at 2101 on IRRS SW vis AM Italia, 918 kHz, S9+19 into nearby
Noale SDR, atop CCI likely Madrid; following 2100 full IRRS ID with
address.

Also confirmed Sun Jan 2 at 2330 on WRMIs: 9955 S9 into Maryland SDR,
no jamming audible; and 5950 at S9/+10.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 3 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG S9+10/15
into Missouri SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 3 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9/+5 into
Missouri SDR.

Also confirmed UT Mon Jan 3 after 0230 on WRN North America webcast.

Also confirmed UT Mon Jan 3 at 0402 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160, -57 Hz
into Missouri remote = 6159.943, VP signal after a coughing fit from

Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3360, UT Mon Jan 3 at 0255, I go to the Athens GA remote
which is still tuned for me to 3360, but NF from WWRB is off already.
Did not get it reconfirmed at all this weekend. Span seems shorter on
Sunday night than Saturday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9385, Jan 3 at 0448, S4/5 of dead air, must be WEWN English
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1030, Jan 3 at 1546 UT, YL in Spanish. Got to be KCTA Corpus
Christi TX, I thought, until finding one other possibility in NRC AM
Log, WGSP 50 KW Memphis TN. And KCTA program schedule shows English at
this time, in fact very little Spanish: Sat 19-21 UT only.
https://kctaradio.com/blog/program-schedule/
BTW, KCTA stands for Know Christ The Answer, a back-formation? Maybe
that`s why so little Spanish, hard to come up with a KCTA slogan; any
ideas? Korpus Cristi Tejas Abla? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130, Jan 3 at 1550 UT, KLEY Wellington KS still
dead-airing, for the record (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1200, Jan 3 at 0722 UT, the original ``Clear Channel``
station, WOAI San Antonio with C2CAM reincarnation nonsense has severe
QRM from a gospel huxter in English, sometimes overriding WOAI. Hard
to separate by nulling, since this has to be KFNW West Fargo ND,
almost exactly opposite direxions from here. U4 50/13 kW, night
pattern supposed to be totally northward; day pattern with lesser lobe
to the south. At times, WOAI also gets battered by WRTO Chicago but
not now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. Re: ``13830, Jan 2 at 1527, S Asian? song, S9/+10,
announcement and 1528 VR IS, 1530 ID ``Ye ---`` mentions Ethiopia.
This is VR Amharic at 1530-1600 from SMG site, but no other language
from it or anywhere is scheduled before 1530. Remarkable signal, about
the same as 13820 Martí, another example of VR capability to serve far
from its intended targets``

I bet what I heard at first 1527 was VR in Malayalam, frequency
switching misaligned. Per WRTH 2022, that`s supposed to be on 7320 &
9595 both Tinang, USAGM Philippines, violating Separation of Church &
State, at 1510-1530, so immediately preceding on program feed line
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Jan 3 at 0427,
perfunctory and not digging to the usual depth, finds stronger ones on
612, 711, 882, 1053, 1107, 1215. 612 surely not the just-reactivated
only MW from Jordan, 100 kW, but the 300 kW from Morocco, like 711
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 600, Jan 3 at 1552 UT, sports talk and ad in skywave
remnant; daytime groundwave WMT IA is only a trace at best. ESPNs are
KROD El Paso TX and KVNA Flagstaff AZ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 620, Jan 3 at 1543 UT, Spanish from KTNO The Metroplex
TX unusually in daytime has CCI from algo making a fast SAH maybe 10
Hz. Skywave remnant, also showing up on many other frequencies. Two
most likely/closest/westward sources are: KJOL Grand Junxion CO, and
KTAR Phoenix AZ, both 5 kW ND. Will MWoffsets help? As usual, no: CO
not measured, AZ/TX only 0.7 Hz apart. Next candidates, KMNS IA and
WJDX MS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

beacon at Will RoGers World Airport, OKC. This has been a very
reliable constant `local`, more so than other Okies and Kansies: not
my receiver as 515 PN Ponca City still in well; KS on 332, 395. Maybe
due to extreme cold snap in OKC: WRWA low a sesquihour earlier was
12F. Still off at 1818 UT Jan 2 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 9700, Jan 2 at 0357, RHC is S7/S9 with
undermodulated music // 6000 English service. At *0358 hit by fast SAH
from VOT IS, as now the two are colliding about equally, TRT starting
a 2-sesquihour transmission in Turkish thisaway. Something`s equally
erroneous at both stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11815, Jan 2 at 1601, Turkish news? S9/S6 with flutter. VOT
still here, not 11810 as someone reported. Way over trace of Japan
co-channel (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 397 MCW kHz, Jan 2 at 0739 UT, JBA ND beacon seems like CIT,
tho last letter uncertain. It`s really CIR, 25 watts in Cairo IL. RNA
notes: ``20181130 - Bill Stewart reports a 'hic-up' on the 'R'. Often
sounds like CIN`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re 486 kHz, WI2XLQ, On the IRCA iog, Kraig W Krist says:
``Reception report, including brief recording of ID, emailed to Brain.
Already received an email confirmation of reception. I actually heard
transmission on 485.951 kHz. Brain admitted transmitter varies a bit.
He wrote the following.

"The MOPA rig does drift a few hundred hertz every 4 to 6 hrs. If I’m
in the shack and see the freq counter or waterfall display is >150Hz
off from 486, I just give the “wavelength” control a fine trim to get
it back on 486. It’s a 1921 design (wavelength back then, not
frequency!) and I’m happy the thing stays as stable as it does given
it’s just an LC tank with a UV-201A tube as the oscillator. The L is
just cloth covered wire wrapped on a cardboard tube mounted on ceramic
standoffs to the wooden chassis. "

I've created a QSL card for Brian to use when confirming reception of
WI2XLQ. To see the WI2XLQ QSL for the December 31, 2021/January 1,
2022 transmission on 486 kHz, go to the USA section of
http://www.kg4lac.com
For those having heard the transmission commemorating Reginald
Fessenden's accomplishments send a valid reception report to Brian
Justin, WA1ZMS, using wa1zms@att.net
73, Kraig, KG4LAC`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 2097.3 CW kHz, Jan 2 at 0720 UT, one-letter beacon, A, is
JBA every dekasecond vs noise level, as it has consistently been
lately, from anywhere but Quartzsite AZ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5950, UT Sunday January 2 at 0030-0045, new show debut on
WRMI, `Postcard Panorama`. Tammy Walker mixes poetry with radio stuff,
interesting combination with listener input. Last several minutes
turned over to the voice of DJ Roseanna of Radio Northern Europe
International; checking her website http://rnei.org I find among other
things some stats we don`t see elsewhere concerning WRMI, here
concerning boresights of the NW and NE beams:

5850 KHz (2.378 Megawatts EIRP) AM – Targeting the USA and Canada,
7780 KHz (3.28 Megawatts EIRP) AM – Targeting North-East coast America
and Northern Europe, Note: EIRP levels are calculated based on the ERP
information from the transmission companies``

As for `Postcard Panorama`, this is the only known airtime, but I have
the impression there may be one new show per month, repeated weekly.
Anyhow, each month, not week, has its own theme. See:

** VATICAN. 13830, Jan 2 at 1527, S Asian? song, S9/+10, announcement
and 1528 VR IS, 1530 ID ``Ye ---`` mentions Ethiopia. This is VR
Amharic at 1530-1500 from SMG site, but no other language from it or
anywhere is scheduled before 1530. Remarkable signal, about the same
as 13820 Marti, another example of VR capability to serve far from its
intended targets (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
