** BELGIUM. 14266-USB, Jan 30 at 1615, OQ4U making quick pro-forma

always clear as ``Ocean Quebec Four Uniform`` -- doesn`t he know that

** NORTH AMERICA. 4060-USB, John Carver replies to my pirate log:

``Bread and Puppet Radio --- Glenn, just finished reading your most
recent log report. It might not be anything but I've always been
fascinated by the sixties communes. Have three or four dozen books on
the subject. About a year ago I read an overview of communes around
Taos, New Mexico and right after that about communes in Vermont. I
think it was in the New Mexico book but there was a piece about some
crazy old fart who had been in the theater for most of his life. He
built life sized puppets and started a commune to train people to
build puppets and put on shows with them. His real passion though was
baking bread and would make hundreds of loaves of bread at the same
time. He'd sell it door to door, give it to people on street corners
and when he had enough people to put on the puppet shows he'd give a
loaf of bread to everyone in the audience. It was called the Bread and
Puppet Theater. Perhaps Zekey has a thing about communes also. I'd
have to dig out the books and look it up but I think the book was
called Memoirs of a Taos Hippie or some such. At any rate that was the
first thing that popped into my head when I read Bread and Puppet
Radio. A hell of a coincidence. John`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UT. Also have a digital mode net on 14065. SA is currently still
working on the Alabama tornado aftermath. 1605 opening for check-ins,
but no replies! Some may have checked in earlier, then starts calling
them. QRZ.com shows this is a club station:

``WB5ALM USA flag USA, WILLIAM H FEIST III, SATERN ALM Division, PO

But what does ALM stand for? First, what does SATERN mean? ``Salvation
Army Team Emergency Radio Network``. Nothing about ALM on the About

** U S A. 9333.0, Jan 30 at 1601, open carrier, and *no* signal on
9330 from WBCQ SuperStation. When 9330 is operating, have never heard
9333 carrier/het on at same time, so suspect same defective
transmitter. This was direct; and again at 1742 recheck via KB0FX
remote in MO, still thus at S5-S6, with carrier offset varying minus
8.3 to 9.0 Hz. Unlikely the Cuban spy which is also on 9330 but only
after 0700. I`ve heard 9333 previously under same circumstances, July
17 and June 24, 2020.

** U S A. 5850, Jan 29 at 2300, R. Tirana via WRMI is marred by loud
squeaking intermittently. It gets worse and worse and continues into
R. Prague after 2330, so at 2334 I notify WRMI:

``Urgent --- 5850 squeaking! Since 2300 trying to listen to Tirana on
5850, heavy squeaking interrupting, getting worse. I thought it was a
their problem. But it`s still happening after 2330 with Prague relay
so it must be your problem. I think it stopped briefly during the ID
up to 2330.``

And at 0048: ``It was still there after 2330 but abating. Did not
listen continuously. After 0003 Jan 30 in Slovak it was gone. I`m
rather sure this was coming out of your transmitter rather than QRM.
At its worst toward the end of Tirana, it interrupted the program
modulation. Initially on Tirana it did not, but was in addition to
continuous program mod. "Is there a mouse in the house?"

Unlike the jamming-like QRM from a carrier CW-like beeping on 7571.6
which I had last night UT Jan 29 at 0234, rate of about 160 per
minute. Glenn``

If anyone hear the 5850 squeaking again, let WRMI know ASAP. BTW, I
was getting this both on my own rx and the KB0FX remote in MO.

As for the 7570 QRM problem, it`s happening again, Jan 30 at 0238
check vs BS, beeps from 7571.6, but different, à la ``bonker`` utes
--- every fourth beat would be prolonged and mushy rather than a pure
tone; and not always 4 apart (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6159.92v, Jan 30 at 0057, WBCQ concluding Area 61 truncated
old-time-radio hour with ``we`re all being played`` --- at first I
thought it was about 45-politix; S8 into KB0FX remote in MO which in
SAM mode reads carrier minus 80v Hz from 6160.000.

7490.188v, Jan 30 at 0058, then I check the other WBCQ, when tuned to
7490.000 reads plus 188.3v Hz, stronger S8-S9, but the air is dead
until just before 0100 ID and WTO opening `AAAWWW` which by now is
also on 6160-. By the end of hour recheck, 7 has faded down to weaker
than 6. As for what ensued between, welcome back to John Carver,
mid-north Indiana, who is again online and able to hear it; his report
has been posted on the WOR iog (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6925-USB, Jan 30 at 0230, occasional weak syllables,
unsure of language or piracy while two will be active 4+ MHz; see
NORTH AMERICA (Glenn Hauser OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 10790 very approx. and broad, Jan 29 at 2351 after
tuning for CNR1 jammers, here`s a terrible spurblob with talk cadence
modulation, occasional bits of music, totally unreadable, not even in
FM mode, nor can I be sure it`s English or Spanish.

In this area I suspect 10.7 MHz IF radiation from some neighbor`s FM
radio, so I quickly scan localish signals thruout the FM and AM bands
on another receiver, but nothing matches. Then I check 31m for strong
signals such as RHC, REE --- no match either. Goes off at 2400* which
make it non-local, but likely originating on SW. R. Martí might have
been, but Grimesland turned off 9565 several seconds earlier. Ideas?

0059 UT January 27, not 2359 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11820, Jan 29 at 0325, JBA carrier from presumed 2 x 5910 CRI
relay; equivalent to 11850 JBA carrier of RHC itself. If putting out
as much signal as before, still not propagating. Something`s always
wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 29 at 0615, no signal from VON, not detectable
on 9690- nor 11770- either. It`s been quite a while since the *0555 IS
and Hausa on 7254.9 has been heard; when active it`s very strong but
not always well modulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU. Correxion to a recent log: 4810 is Radio Logos, not R.
Chazuta, which is the location (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SWITZERLAND. 18165-USB, Jan 28 at 1545-1555, quick pro-forma
contacts with North American pileups; as usual have to listen multiple
minutes to catch the callsign correctly, uttered too quickly altho
fonetikaly by station and seldom by the pileuppers. Spells his name
ROLF and is in NW Switzerland: HB9RDE

** U S A. 379-MCW kHz, Jan 29 at 0721 UT, ND beacon DL, mixing with
weaker RUE, at slightly different pitches and periods. Normally only
or dominant here is RUE, 25 watts at RUssellvillE, Arkansas. DL is 50
watts from DuLuth - Pike Lake, Minnesota. RNA Signal list explains:
DL LSB/USB = 1028/1020, period 5.9 5 (means 5.95??) named `Pykla`
RUE LSB/USB = 1015/1127, period 4.4 seconds
These mostly JBA LW/MW logs are always on E-W longwire which I assume
provides more gain than the DX-398 internal antenna which however
would maybe allow nulling choices for such as these at right angles
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2070 monitoring: confirmed final
repeat UT Thursday January 28 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, VG S9/+15 into
Bonaire SDR.

WORLD OF RADIO 2071 contents: Albania non, Argentina, Australia and
non, Bhutan, Brasil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Cuba and non,
Egypt?, Finland, France, Germany, India, Korea South,, Lithuania,
North America, Perú, Russia and non, Spain, Sri Lanka, USA; and the
propagation outlook

{slight correxion: USA, the AZ log of COVID TIS on 1650 was at
``1100`` which I now realize must have been EST, even tho it`s
inapplicable in AZ! I converted to 18 UT as if it had been MST +7,
instead of +5 = 16 UT}

First broadcast of WOR 2071 just minutes after completion, confirmed
UT Friday January 28 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850 VG direct; 7780 G S8/S9+10
to UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7571.6, Jan 28 at 0234, WRMI TOMBS on 7570 has unusual QRM
from rapid beeping at rate of about 160/minute, i.e. carrier cutting
on and off from the upper side as if it were deliberate SE Asian style
jamming. Normally blasting 7570 is only S9+10 with noisy modulation of
its own as often the case out of Walterboro. 0326 recheck, QRM is off
and 7570 has ascended to S9+10/20 but with undermodulation (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5830, Jan 29 at 0230 and still 0333, dead air from WTWW-1
instead of SFAW, SOB. During the hour signal had dropped from S9+10 to
S7-S9; meanwhile, 5085 WTWW-2 continued rockmusicking distortedly at
both times. Ted`s stuff is obviously primary, even tho the heirs of
Laporte`s passé Pastor Pete Peters own the thing (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search January 29 at 1335
since I`m unfortunately awake before sunrise now right at 1335; on the
DX-398 so I can rotate DFing: 1566 from NW, no doubt FEBC S Korea,
flanked by even weakers 1557 and 1575, but none lower by now, not even
972 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
