** CANADA. 6977-USB, Sunday Feb 9 at 2223 while checking the Pirate
Band, instead find a CFARS net, mostly JBA inviting checkins from the
600`s. ``This is CIW311``, then contacting CIW401 loud and clear, and
CIW444. Most CFARS info is classified, login for members only, but

This has the net roster as public info:
http://www.cfarsoperations.ca/vncs.html

200 calls are BC, 300 Alberta then increase to 800's in the Maritimes.
Also linx to this:
http://cfarsoperations.ca/nr2020.html
showing CIW311 is Darcy, supposed to be NCS Feb 16, not today (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185.69, Feb 9 at 2221, music JBM as XEPPM is still way
off-frequency; 6185.771, Feb 10 at 1504, JBM carrier remeasured, at a
time when otherwise it is difficult to confirm it`s really Radio
Educación on the air far beyond its nominal evening-only schedule. Or
was: WRTH 2020 says 1400-0500 and calls it instead Señal Cultura
México with 5 kW. Of course during standard time until first Sunday in
April it runs until 0600v* UT = local midnite, but starting when?

Current program grid here below several other outlets shows on air
only at 17-24 local time = 23-06 UT:
https://radioeducacion.edu.mx/carta-programatica-del-mes
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11560, Feb 9 at 2106, anti-Christ pirate, Station
YHWH is back, JBA voice of Josiah, tnx to tip from Rick Barton, AZ, on
the WOR iog. Already off at 2136 recheck. Sweeps past 7470 following
evening did not find him back on his prime frequency, where Rick and I
had last logged him January 10. And no other reports since then (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Re my report of 1319.96, KCLI Clinton, mentioning in ID,
KWEY HD-4, Fredrik Douren points out that KWEY does have an FM, 18+ kW
on 95.5 -- but no info about its HD subchannels. Stephen Luce, Houston
TX, also replies:

``Glenn, yes, there are FMs with HD-4 subchannels; we have a few of
those here in Houston. Probably the limit as available allocated
bandwidth would otherwise be too narrow for decent audio--I have never
heard of anyone running an HD-5.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2020 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
February 9 at 2130 on WRMI 7780, JBA here at S9 vs noise level.

Also confirmed, UT Monday February 10 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, fair-good
via UTwente SDR in Holland.

Also confirmed, UT Mon Feb 10 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, good via UTwente;
and 9395 aimed NNW is JBA over there. Also confirmed on WRN webcast
almost synchronised with 7780.

Also confirmed, UT Mon Feb 10 starting at 0401 on Area 51 webcast; via
WBCQ 5130 checked at 0427 it`s good here S9+10, altho not making it to
the Peoria IL KiwiSDR.

Also confirmed, UT Mon Feb 10 at 0430, JBA carrier here vs Cuban pulse
jamming; but VG at Rockport ME KiwiSDR, way atop JBA jamming.

Also confirmed, Mon Feb 10 from about 1901 on IRRS 7290 via Romania?
VG via UTwente SDR. Carrier already on at 1857, JIP Aida theme about
1900:18, lost internet connexion here but WOR must`ve started. Next:

0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780
0900 UT Wednesday Unique Radio NSW 5045-USB
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490.15v, Sun Feb 9 at 2220, WBCQ S9+20 with `Marion`s
Attic`.

BTW, I understand that a similar voice heard on GRITS Radio was Brad
Read, the host of GRITS. Someone who heard more of the latest show
says it was announced by his wife, Val, that he has a malignant tumor
on vocal cords or larynx. Doctors believe that radiation will take
care of the problem and he is scheduled to do so shortly and expected
to recover fully (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15825, Feb 10 at 1545, WWCR-1 again boosted to S9+20 by
winter HF sporadic E, still squealing; 13845 also way above normal
level. DXmap shows MUF of 21-29-56 MHz over MI and adjacent ON, not
the right spot for this path which must have a blob at least 16 MHz
halfway between here and Nashville. By 1748 recheck, there`s 23 MHz
over NW corner of TN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1913 UT February 10

** CUBA. 15140, Feb 9 at 1452, RHC is distorted here and much stronger
than // 15230, which is not only distorted but also suppressed
modulation = suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1319.96 kHz, Feb 9 at 1859 UT, KCLI Clinton continues to
modulate, partial ID mentions KWEY HD-4(?), 1900 into Fox Sports
Radio. This time soon after local mean noon, no CCI from KWHN Fort
Smith. KWEY is 1590 in nearby Weatherford, once(?) a competitor yet
now jointly owned with KCLI, so there could be some cross-pollination,
but is there any such thing as HD-4? Maybe I misheard. Usual
references FCC and otherwise do not provide full, or any, info about
what`s on all those IBOC subchannels! It seems that neither KCLI nor
KWEY has a full FM counterpart, only translators (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 410-MCW kHz, re my log of NDBeacon JU, Harold Frodge agrees
that he and Ken Zichi in Michigan have also logged it, not JUH:
``410 JU 1.0 Jefferson NC, Ashe County A/P; 02, 23 Nov, 03 Dec (HF),
04 Nov (KZ,HF)`` --- meaning 2019y? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2020 monitoring: Ivo Ivanov,
Bulgaria reports: ``Fair signal of World of Radio#2020 and Shortwave
Radiogram#138 on February 8: 1300-1330 on 15770 RMI 100 kW / 044 deg
to WeEu English Sat World of Radio #2020``

Also confirmed UT Sun Feb 9 at 0524 UT about 16 minutes into so
started very late circa 0508 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO. Earlier was good
reception direct but later I`m listening via Peoria IL KiwiSDR.
Houston AMSAT net recording was playing until 0456 when ARRL News
started, so if no WOR was lost, ARRL must have lasted only 12 minutes.

** U S A. 15825, Feb 9 at 1857, WWCR-1 hits S9+10/20, far more than
usual JBA, plenty to audiblize the squeal still spouting from this
transmitter: ergo, winter HF sporadic E opening. 15610 WEWN also
stronger than usual, S6-S8, getting ready to start with Salve Regina
prologue. Lower WWCRs also abnormally strengthened, 13845 S8-S9; 12160
S9+20/30 with `Martha Garvin Musical Memories` after 1900. Then I
check the dxmap for Es and some paths show just the right spots
between us for MUF blobs of 15 and 28 MHz. In these solar cycle
doldrums we cannot even depend on a bigsig daytime from 12160 WWCR.
BTW, WWCR program schedules have now been updated as of Feb 1:
