** BRAZIL. 4885, Jan 12 at 0428, JBA carrier, presumably R. Clube do
Pará still trying to come back (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, Jan 12 at 0427 check, R. Progreso is missing. Something
else is wrong at RadioCuba. 15140 RHC of course was still missing Jan
11 at 2005 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440.000, Jan 12 at 2118, S9+20/30 of dead air into UTwente?
No, with volume at max, otherwise risking blastout, I can tell that R.
Cairo is JBM, suptorted, in English? Not usual 9439.995. Something`s
egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NETHERLANDS. 5954.96 approx., Jan 12 at 0735, JBA M&W talk, vs
storm noise. Nothing listed except, in Aoki & EiBi:
5955 0400-1830 HOL ICON BV.Sunlite Radio Dut Overslag 1-7
5955 0457-1457 HOL Radio Veronica NL HOL ov

IIRC, Sunlite was reported changed to Veronica programming recently.
WRTH 2024 page 556 shows Sunlite with 500 watts at 0500-1930, SW site
(ICN) Westdorpe. When stations are typically off-frequency, it would
be helpful if references show such rather than rounding off. Can
anyone confirm this offness, perhaps with even more precision? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Jan 12 at 2322, soft rock, YL song,
S9/+10; 2325 announcement about ``voices in my head``, maybe ID but
missed. Many reports here say it`s Radio Free Whatever:

UTwente finds S9+40/45 with song about İstanbul: I bet it`s VOT
despite odd frequency. 2352 multi-lingual ID filler reel, just in

Anybeacon audible on this ISM band is of note (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15730, Jan 11 at 2010, VOA French inbooming from Grimesland,
much Africanish music sufficient for my pre-WOR nap, rapid announcer
interrupted in midshow for mandatory 2030* chopoff, why? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. 7460, Jan 12 at 0421, algo in unclear language,
presumably VOA KNK service via BOTSWANA, back on correct frequency
instead of jump to 7480 last night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. 13750, Fri Jan 12 at 1637, S7/9+10 in language
mentions Washington. Standout signal, except domestix on 13820, 13845,
this is the SSOB, the only others weakies on 13830, 13865. Aoki says
VOA Swahili daily via KUWAIT. EiBi same except site STP! HFCC says SAO
in Swahili, 100 kW at 114 degrees: that would be toward Tanzania,
rather than Kenya & Uganda due east, in any event, far from thisaway
unless 294 off the back. But HFCC also shows a conflicting
registration on 13750, 1630-1700 M-F, ADM, not AGM, English, 250 kW,

WARNING: Scam email from "Glenn Dx"

A word of warning to all – I just received an email purportedly from
"Glenn Dx," an obvious attempt to play off the reputation of Glenn
Hauser and trick us into opening it and clicking on the attachments.
But it's actually from some strange and unrecognizable email address.
So if you see it, delete it (Arthur Delibert, Jan 11, Hard-Core-DX
mailing list via WORLD OF RADIO 2225)

** ALGERIA [and non]. Re beat on 891 kHz, () 4th digit measurements
mean approx.? `` Yes, that's what I meant. I think both stations drift
just a bit, so they may have had a different separation on the day you
tuned to. 73, Mauno`` Ritola (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. ``RHC 6000 missing --- Hello Glenn, During my
bandscan tonight I noticed at 0200 and re-check at 0235 UT that Radio
Havana Cuba is completely off air on 6000. The Voice of Turkey is
coming into Ohio with a SINPO of 45444 on the Eton E1XM with the
Wellbrook 1530 and bhi DSP Desktop speaker. They have a decent signal
with Turkish music. Regards, Chris`` Campbell, Columbus, 0242 UT Jan
11.

RHC signs on at 0243 on 6000 --- As I sent the last email their
carrier came up with audio for about 20 seconds and then cut off
again. A poorly modulated Ed Newman's voice was heard briefly. Chris``

** TURKEY [and non]. 6000.004, Jan 11 at 0259, TRT IS S9+10 into
UTwente, 0300 timesignal and Turkish music rather than news. No
CubaRM, q.v. as RHC has been cutting on and off. At 0310 music stops
but still a strong deadair carrier, presumed TRT, but could be RHC. By
0324 into Missouri SDR, RHC is suptorted and JBM at S9+10/30. At 0327
rechecking UTwente, now 6000 seems like RHC. So not really sure when
TRT turned off. VOT Turkish to Central Asia scheduled 0100-0300 so
anything past then was an overrun. Under `normal` conditions, RHC has
no problem overriding it inside N America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 15034 USB, Jan 9 at 2030 UT as I happen to tune by Trenton
Military with ID and ``time: 1530 zulu``! Still confuses EST with UT.
And still ``no report received`` from anything, altho I cannot be
positive about that without listening to an entire cycle, beyond my
patience. Both reflect poorly on Canadian Forces - perhaps to fool
enemies into thinking they are incompetent in other more serious ways?
Charitable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHILE. 28474 USB, Jan 9 at 2307, CA3VAK, Victor from a town 17 km
south of Santiago making quick English contacts in USA unheard here as
skip is long; no beacons and only a few other 10m phone signals, in

** CHINA. 11830, Jan 9 at 2040, I finally find some music-only on SW
to lull my nap without talkiness -- it`s Firedragon! At times seemed
with a whining voice but surely that was only an instrument; lots of
percussion too, zzz. But chops off abruptly at 2100*, never any
announcement or timesignal. And no trace of a jamee, per Aoki, RFA
Chinese via Tinian this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Jan 9 at 2039, JBA S4/S7 seems English, so RHC, but
must be on extremely reduced power as prop is OK, Martí blasting in.
At 2100 in French I can barely outmake an Havane mention. Something`s
always wrong at RHC. Nothing of course where should be, 15140 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 15420, Jan 9 at 2032, S9+10/20 in language is OOFSOB =
one of few signals on band, and one of the best. Listed as AWR via
Talata in Yoruba this semihour, i.e. aimed NW moreorless thisaway
beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 13710-, Jan 9 at 2036, S4/S6 significantly
off-frequency minus. Listed as MWV in Arabic this hour via Mahajanga,
so probably favorably beamed NW thisaway beyond; but Talata is better
on 15420 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, Jan 9 at 2038, JBA carrier direct, no doubt
Hikari FM, Sonora or Arizona pirate on signature off-frequency. Does
any remote pull it well enough to copy? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 9635, Jan 9 at 0806, ORTM, S6/S9 in African language,
presumably Bambara, best/only? African signal on band. Is day
frequency scheduled 08-18 UT, preceded and followed by 5995 which is
very reliable from 0600 but just about faded by 0800 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Jan 9 at 2300, VOT not off the air,
S9+20/30 direct and sufficient. The well-spoken YL signs on and starts
the news, mainly about Gaza and Israel accused of killing 109
journalists so far. By 2356 check at UTwente, it`s already off ceding
frequency to XJPBS, std denunciation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2224 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday January 9 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9 into Maryland remote way
off-beam from SW aiming out of FL, yet much better than closer remote
in GA, or closer to azimuth, Durango2, México. Again with uteblast QRM

** U S A. 9275, Jan 9 at 2029, zero signal from WMLK, tho neighbor in
more ways than one, 9265 WINB, is quite audible. Had been meaning to
check 9275 explicitly for some time during nominal 17-22 UT schedule
except Sabbathdays. 9275 also missing at my last check Wed Dec 27.
Last log was by Wolfgang Bueschel, Dec 18: ``9275even, WMLK Bethel PA,
symphonic christmas mx and chimes, at 2159 UT, S=9+40dB much
POWERHOUSE signal, excellent radio investition in USA in recent
years. From mainpower some audio BUZZ strings visible on 120, 240, and
360 Hertz apart distance.`` No trace of it either lately for foolish
15150 overnighttime transmission.

Via WOR Hitlist, nothing posted on their disgraced FB since Feb 2023!
Own website: https://wmlkradio.com/ mentions no outage now, but the
`live` stream runs even at 2330 when never on SW air. WMLK really
should be back by Jan 15, but that would be coincidental as it does
not stand for Martin Luther King; rather some religious cult word,
probably Hebrew or Aramaic, but cursory research has not found it, nor
anything on the website. Of course I have no interest in what DEJOM
had to preach nor his successor. = Deceased Elder Jacob O Meyer.
Unless it come back, will be DWMLK, as FCC names deleted callsigns
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9265, Jan 9 at 2111, WINB with revival music but then
announcing several stations the program is on including WINB on 13570
- where it has not been for ages, Tuesdays at 3-5 pm. If a ministry
can`t even cite its own frequency accurately, how are we to believe
their imaginary theology? Tough copy with rumbling modulation, but
contact info sounds like area code 712; apostolicfaith---something.com
Postal address ZIP NJ 08066, which is Paulsboro, so I stick that in
the website - bingo, this is it:
https://www.apostolicfaithofpaulsboro.com/radio-broadcasts/
I recognize some of the other calls mentioned, like WTMR; also claims
to be on World Harvest Radio, webcast at least, but link is unfound.
2113 back to revival singing with piano. Finally I check the WINB
program schedule, just updated Jan 7! But that doesn`t mean it`s
accurate, even beyond still converting UTC to EDT instead of EST, 4
instead of 5 hour difference. Not there around this time (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1580, Jan 9 at 0836 UT, 10/kHz bandscan hears ``104.5`` in
English and absolutely nothing more vs Spanish music from something
else, probably KFCS CO again. Reverse search of WTFDA FM Database for
any 104.5 relaying a 1580 station leads only to: WIOL Columbus GA, the
FM being, of course, a mere 250-watt translator, W283DF. Then I
laboriously look thru each of the 48 entries on 1580 in the paper NRC
AM Log, which agrees --- but find one other, W283BN, tail wagging the
