** CUBA. 11820, Jan 26 at 0303, CRI news in English, S9+20! This is of
course harmonic, 2 x 5910 where same is S9+40/50. Have not noticed
this one before: harmonic suppression/filtering must be turned off;
deliberately? Could it be just receiver overload? No, not on the R75;
and recheck at 0420 in Yue/Cantonense, via the KB0FX SDR, also
barreling into MO, S9+15/20 vs 5910 at S9+25/35. Something`s always
wrong at RadioCuba.

If one multiple is radiating, so may be others. Next up is 17730 = 3 x
5910, and by golly, KB0FX is detecting a JBA carrier there. Of course
no such propagation expected at night, no matter how much power goes
into it. But there`s a chance of HF sporadic E boost before we get too
far past the midwinter subpeak; also: 4 x 5910 = 23640, and 5 x 5910 =
29550. Would not hurt also to check those between 03 and 05. 5910 is
supposedly 250 kW at 305 degrees across the USA, accounting for its
extreme strength thisaway.

Meanwhile direct, back at 0305, checking other 25m Cubans. RHC Spanish
on 11850 is S9+10/20 but quite suptorted and still lacking any
plus/minus 10 kHz spurs. 11760 is S9+20/30 of dead air; 11670 is
S9+10/20 with good modulation. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Monday January 25 at 2300-2330, REE in English, VG and
no need to check for the //s. All about recent US history with some
soundbites: Alison Hughes narrating a report on the insurrexion upon
the Capitol by trecherous traitorous treasonous Trump terrorists - as
I call them; including her rather startling cynical remark,
paraphrased but close: `Due to travel restrixions, the US had to stage
a domestic coup`.

Then over to Justin Coe for a report about the Inauguration; managed
to find a Spanish angle, as the Youth Poet Laureate, Amanda Gorman,
had spent several months studying in Spain, especially about García
Lorca. Closed with some music right up to BoH TS (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 5800, Jan 26 at 0341 quick check of WRMI whether `Freedom
Synergy Radio` remains: yes, and someone from Epoch Times is
conducting an anti-China interview. So it`s quite clear that the Falun
Gong cult is heavily involved, if not running FSR; i.e. the same who
bring us Sound of Hope and Chicom jamming. Even so, the FG do not
deserve to be persecuted, organs harvested and genocided inside China
as alleged. Beware of Epoch Times` disgraced Trumpist ads cropping up
on the web. They should stick to anti-ChiCom stuff with which we might
agree rather than messing in US politix, such as:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1550, Jan 26 at 0316 UT, ESPN Radio promos dominant for
a while; whence? NRC AM Log shows surprisingly few affiliates among
the 54 US stations on 1550, most of them with peanut power at night;
in deference to CBEF? In fact, barring any affiliate changes since it
was printed, the only two possibilities are KICS Hastings, Nebraska,
27 watts; and KYAL, Sapulpa OK, 40 watts; and my E-W antenna is
pointed toward the latter but is hardly deaf to the north. KYAL
pattern favors the ESE while KICS is ND (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

I forgot to share this one when it happened almost 2 weeks ago. I started
hearing spanish begin to bubble up on 1370, so I fine tuned my 5" DeBock
FSL loop and hit record and boy, did I get lucky!

About 8 seconds into the recording, you hear a simple "La Ley" between
songs. I recognized that slogan and that voice.. it's KGEN 1370 Tulare, CA.
I have previously heard KGEN's 72 watt night power from Laramie, WY. I'd
also logged KGEN's simulcast sister station, KGEN 94.5 Hanford, CA a 6KW
Class A Equivalent in Wyoming

I asked KGEN Engineer Tom Driggers to confirm KGEN was operating with it's
licensed 72 Watts at night, and he confirmed that the remote control was
powering down KGEN's transmitter properly. My KGEN Reception occurred on
Tuesday January 12th at 745pm AK Time (1hr behind pacific).

Here's my KGEN audio:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ypilSLoPh9xbBHNQvyPJ9FG0kipgi_Ye/view?usp=sharing

Several minutes later, I had "La Caliente", KZSF San Jose. In the dj
chatter he even mentioned La Caliented, as I recall.. so there's no
mistaking the two. Here's my audio of KZSF:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l4_fhX1pnH-uuUVo99-txXPMh8g8hyGQ/view?usp=sharing

KZSF 1370 shares a triplexed site with KSJX 1500, which I've logged here in
Alaska regularly. Also sharing that site is KLOK 1170 which I logged from
Wyoming. An engineer who worked on that site said it smells like waffles
with the Eggo factory sharing a parking lot

** BRAZIL. 11905-11910-11915, Jan 25 at 0445, checking RNA DRM into
TWR Bonaire SDR: ``Madrugada Nacional 96.1`` ID and romantic music,
partly in English, ``Kiss Me, Baby`` at 0454. Frequent ID breaks
between tunes. SN 16.7 dB, 12.46 kbps with ``perfect`` reception tho
fi not so hi; also with Service 2 Journaline one-line headline
rotation mostly concerning COVID; but no mentions of Bolsonaro (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13841 approx., Jan 25 around 1500 --- my logpen failed to ink
at first --- F# tone signature of RHC spurblob, too close to the BS on
13845-AM WWCR; then finding lots of others, back to ``normal`` pattern
of circa plus/minus 69 kHz multiples from 13700-AM: 13769 S8, 13631,
13562, 13494 S4 vs CODAR, 13426 trace; 13908, 13976; and 14045 F#
trace. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2070 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
January 24 from 2300:05 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.934, S8-S9; ending at
2329:05 barely not cut off. Stood by earlier to hear carrier with WBCQ
IS & ID loop cut on at *2256:08, no ID or s/on but a bit of music from
2259:45 before WOR start.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 25 at 0043 the 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG
S9+30/40 direct.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 25 at 0230 on WRMIs: 7780, S9+5/15
via UTwente; 5800, S9+10/25 via Bonaire SDR; and WRN web/satcast

Also confirmed Monday January 25 from 1900:49 on IRRS 7290 via
Bulgaria, via UTwente SDR usual bilateral splasheral from 7280 Vietnam
and 7295 East Turkistan, standard denunciation, inevitable but WOR
still readable if you upput. 29 minutes later ending with pause rather
than upcut before ID and more FSN. For timings this time also via
UTwente, as Alan Gale suggested, I compare with MSF on 60 kHz and
DCF77 on 77.5, with a clearer minute-marker on the former, hardly any
internet delay compared to WWV direct. Next:
