** CHINA [non]. 13650, Feb 6 at 2335, have been listening to the nice
Chinese music on CRI`s so-called ``Portuguese`` service via CUBA, on
caradio; BTW, I see that WRTH 2021 says nothing about this and some
other Eurolangs being replaced for months by music fill only. Maybe
that will be noted in the free B-20 pdf updater coming out shortly.
Passing by the 94.3/99.9 joint LPFM transmitter site on N side of Enid
on US 81, once again 13650 is overridden by FM noise from them; likely
overloads on any SW frequency tuned on the caradio, but fortunately
lasts for only a few blox (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5040, Feb 7 at 0125, RHC`s tropical frequency is OFF; still
off at 0332 next check. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 6180, Feb 7 at 0141, S9/+10 of dead air --- almost:
occasional few words of English JBA. Is this the CRI relay as
scheduled? Much weaker signal than not // 6000 RHC English, and
unusual heavy flutter on 6180 - RNA Brasil is probably SAHing it but
also too weak on 11780 to make a match, nor any DRM noise audible
around 11910 but if heard would not be // either.

5910, Feb 7 at 0336, this CRI English via CUBA has VG signal and
modulation, but no trace via KB0FX remote of harmonic on 11820.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 4015-USB, UT Sun Feb 7 at 0122, pirate music at
S9/+10, reminds me of ``Surfin` USA``, but not per playlisters, where
everything is on a ``sweet`` theme; 0129 ``Wolverine Radio`` expected
ID. Still going at 0200 with bluegrass when I tune over to 5950 for
TRSW. Many more logs here:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,77752.0.html
Last time I heard it on 74m, was Jan 24 on 4055-USB. Nothing doing on
43m tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1610 kHz, Feb 6 circa 2200 UT, no signal from this TIS as
in IRCA 2018 list:
``1610 WQCL720 OK Jet Alfalfa Alfalfa County OSU Extension's Great
Salt Plains Lake (9 Mi N of Jet on SR 38) [ALERT] 36.742667 98.132333
expires 04/04/15 source tRs heard 10/13``

It used to be barely audible daytime in western Enid from quiet
parking lots with NOAA Weatheradio relay; not lately, but certainly
was still on long past 2015y. Now I drive right by the site at park
entrance, across from Kegelman radome and aux Vance AFB airstrip, and
it`s gone --- no signal and no TIS antenna or transmitter at all.

However, there is a new TIS-suspicious-looking pole on the east side
of US 81/60/64 north of Enid, south of the T-junxion. No sign and no
signal on 1610 or 530 -- yet? Not far from highway construxion which
is going to continue for a long time, eventually widening all of this
strip to much-needed four lanes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 750, Feb 6 circa 2124 UT, still no signal from KMMJ Grand
Island NE, which has been off for months pending sale and reformatting
--- and recalling? During bandscan on caradio near Nescatunga at
artesian well. Here there is less splash daytime from 740 KRMG (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1110, Feb 6 at 2123 UT, VG talk signal presumed KFAB Omaha
NE skywave already; yet the next 50 kW station to the east, 1040 WHO
Des Moines IA, is barely audible. This does not make sense if both of
them are really 50 kW ND! Could 1110 really be KVTT The Metroplex?
This was English, not Asian, and altho 50 kW, KVTT is direxionally
unfavorable; yet higher 50 kW direxional Mpx stations 1440 gospel
huxter already in well, and also 1480 Vietnamese like 1560 Houston
(Glenn Hauser, near Nescatunga OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1370, Feb 6 at 2121 UT, insurance ad, ``1370 KGNO`` ID and
C&W music, not strong and fading but mostly dominant on caradio at
artesian well N of Nescatunga OK on State Hwy 11. I don`t hear it in
Enid and was believed off or QRP for longtime but in last few months
others have heard it active. I`d say it`s still underpowered for rated
5 kW ND at only 198 km = 122 statute miles from Dodge City over the
Ogallala Aquifer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2072 monitoring: on the road, not
in a position to confirm the Sat 2030v Feb 6 airing on WA0RCR,
1860-AM; anyone hear it, when?

Also confirmed starting at 0422:30 UT Sun Feb 7 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM,
the Gateway 160 Meter radio Newsletter, VG via nearby Warrenton MO

** U S A. 5950, UT Sun Feb 7 at 0200, WRMI-8 with `YROT` opening Texas
R Shortwave now with a regular slot: roboYL signs on in English and
German offering special eQSLs for detailed reports; subject is Outlaw
music, first tune starts about west Tennessee. Similar if not
identical IDs and QSL offers at 0214; and 0242 followed by an
18-wheeler song, 0256 signing off, 0257 YROT theme again. Good
S9+10/20 and clear but by the end with a SAH maybe Ethiopia. Same
program is to repeat at same time every week this month (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Feb 7 at 0129, WTWW-2 hamtalk wrapping up with
looong list of credits; by 0131 `Theatre Organ Under the Arch` is
underway with another guest thorganist, but I can`t keep listening
once music starts due to pervasive ripple on very strong carrier
distorting the music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** AUSTRALIA [non]. 9265: Richard Langley, NB, replies to my report
about Unique Radio via WINB, Feb 5 at 2100-2230:

``"also had some clix about once a second, not sure if a transmission
defect or QRM; audible up to 9280 but not on the minus side"

Also heard clicks here in NB at a higher frequency (10 or 15 kHz?) as
I was tuning down to 9265 kHz. Clicks were not heard on 9265 kHz so
the program was QRM-free.

"informal discussion but hard to follow with SW reception declining"

This was the "Postcard from Poprad" news chat show with Eric Wiltsher
(former U.K.journalist, BBC, etc.), Dave Rhodes, and Rachael Brunsden.
Chatting about current events; mostly U.S. politics, CNN, and MSNBC,

``UPDATED: OCC shuts down disposal wells in response to 4.2 quake
Violet Hassler | Enid News & Eagle Feb 5, 2021 Updated 22 hrs ago

https://www.enidnews.com/news/updated-occ-shuts-down-disposal-wells-in-response-to-4-2-quake/article_da03c78c-67d3-11eb-8a63-87b4f71a9a99.html

Map of disposal wells:

https://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/enidnews.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/c/44/c44353e4-6810-11eb-a6f5-af7979db37df/601de0b452422.image.jpg?resize=1200%2C927

COVINGTON, Okla. — Responding to a swarm of at least 18 earthquakes —
including one measuring magnitude 4.2 — in the Covington-Lucien area
Tuesday {sic! it was Friday, Feb 5 --- gh}, Oklahoma Corporation
Commission has ordered disposal wells in the area to cease or reduce
operations.

Disposal wells within three miles of the largest earthquake’s
epicenter have been ordered to cease operations, while wells from 3 to
10 miles of the epicenter must reduce volume to no more than 50% of
the current 30-day average, according to an OCC news release.

The decision was made by OCC’s Induced Seismicity Department. It is
estimated the actions will reduce disposed volumes by about 9,000
barrels a day, according to OCC.

“Researchers are in broad agreement that disposal into the Arbuckle
formation in parts of Oklahoma can raise risk of induced seismicity,”
said Matt Skinner, OCC spokesman. “Commission ISD directives since
2015 limiting or eliminating such disposal are among the actions
credited with the sharp decrease in Oklahoma’s seismicity rate since
2015.

The quakes — about four miles east and 1.5 south of Covington and 21
miles southeast of Enid — started at about 10:17 a.m., with magnitudes
3.5 and a 3.7 shaking the region, respectively, about 40 seconds
apart, according to U.S. Geological Survey. Both were between about
2.5 and 3.7 miles deep and centered in the same area.

About an hour later, two smaller quakes hit — a 2.3 at 11:27 a.m. and
2.6 at 11:29 a.m. — with the largest quake of the morning, a magnitude
4.2, centered in the same area at 11:48 a.m., according to USGS. It
also was at a depth of 3.1 miles. Smaller quakes continued with a 2.6
at 11:59 a.m.; a 2.2 at 12:03 p.m.; a 2.3 at 12:14 p.m.; a 1.5 at
12:44 p.m.; a 1.9 at 1:12 p.m.; a 2.1 at 1:59 p.m.; a 1.8 at 2:20
p.m.; a 1.5 at 3:59 p.m.; a 1.9 at 4:31 p.m.; a 1.7 at 4:36 p.m.; a
1.7 at 5:08 p.m.; a 1.8 at 6:40 p.m.; and a 1.3 at 8:23 p.m. {altho
USGS uses UT, these times converted to CST = UT -6}

The quakes were reportedly felt nearby and as far as downtown and
western parts of Enid, according to posts on social media. One
Covington resident said the earlier twin quakes knocked items from the
walls of her home.

Oklahoma has in the past been the location of several earthquakes with
the upsurge of oil and gas activity in the region starting prior to
2010. Temblors have decreased with action from Oklahoma Corporation
Commission and practices undertaken by the industry to curtail
wastewater injection in many places.

In 2020, there were only 36 earthquakes with a magnitude greater than
3.0 throughout the state, with 16 of those in Northwest Oklahoma.``
