Hauser
** ALGERIA. 891, Feb 28 at 0542 UT, JBA carrier hetting 890 WLS - in a
complete 9/kHz bandscan, the only hit, hope it`s the 300/100 kW near
Algiers, R. Algérie Int`l which is still on 24h per mwlist - unless
it`s a Cuban spoiler. Still detectable at 0609 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Fri Feb 27 at 2300, WRMI relay S9+30/40
direct of RAE with multi-lingual ID reel and otherwise nothing but
very nice music, especially tango, past 2316 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28270+ CW, Feb 27 at 2308, dash and VVV PY4MAB --- WGB
list: ``28270.5 PY4MAB - Pocos de Caldas MG BRA GG68re - #0/1/3 (21
Feb 2026) Note: VVV ID + grid + BCN + 5" carr - Cobra 142 gtl mod. ant
vert 10W`` -- It`s Poços de Caldas, not Pocos, totally different
words! Poços means wells, caldas means syrup. QRZ.com: ``PY4MAB Brazil
flag Brazil, MAURICIO BERALDO, LUIZ ZANGIACOMI 145, POCOS DE CALDAS MG
ZIP CODE 37704-274, MG, Brazil - I have a Radio Beacon on the
frequency of 28.270.4 CW, 24 hours a day, vertical antenna, 10 watts
of power. In 2025 it will be 15 years since Beacon is on the air.
Whoever receives the signals and sends me a confirmation by letter I
will respond to everyone and send a special QSL card from my city``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 6754 USB, Feb 28 at 0555, Trenton Military VG now and with
carrier! Never like this before, different transmitter? Still no LSB.
Check whether 15034 also be USB + carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 530 kHz, Feb 28 at 0607, undermodulated music, presumably
CMBQ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9710, UT Sat Feb 28 at 0600, RHC ``on SW and online`` with
theme, 0602 ``Ed Newman`` announcing start of English with topix
preview: news, Viewpoint, Arts Roundup, The weekly Mailbag Show,
Caribbean Outlook Show; then news by YL with accent. Good modulation,
S9+20/30. All this for one hour or two? Anyhow, off at 0712 check.
Many WOR iog reports of English here earlier in evening. In the 0400
hour, Chris Campbell, OH, said, ``I always thought that [Mailbag] was
a Saturday & Wednesday feature but who knows with RHC anymore`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN [and non]. 28381- USB, Feb 27 at 2309, JH4IFF contacting
ZV1RJ in Rio. QRZ.com: ``JH4IFF Japan flag Japan, Mitsumasa "MITSU"
Uto, 681 Tatsukawa, Akaiwa, Okayama 709-0815, Japan`` - quite a number
of Japan/Brasil QSOs which are close to antipodal (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** JAPAN. 28555 USB, Feb 27 at 2315, JJ0SNQ calling CQ10. QRZ.com:
``JJ0SNQ Japan flag Japan, Mark "Mark" -- Page managed by CX8RP --
This call sign record has incomplete details: country. Other details
regarding this record are not shown while we wait for additional
data`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 1670, Feb 28 at 0534, Spanish JBA, mentioned Tamaulipas and
Focus; so: XEFCR Reynosa, 10/1? kW. Of the four US on 1670, one is
SS:REL, KHPY in California (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, Feb 27 at 2259, REE reactivated on ME frequency, also
on 9690 to NAm, 17715 SAm, still no 17755 to Africa. If it`s Friday
there must be no English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 27 at 2258, VOT not off the air, JBA S9 direct
with IS and ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 521 kHz, Feb 28 at 0737 UT, TO, JBA ND beacon at TOpeka KS,
tuned to 519.5 USB. 25 watts `Biloy`. I often check for this but
usually no sign of it in this band, just strong PN Ponca City OK on
515 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Thanks this week to David Costa, Jacksonville FL, for a contribution

** U S A. (7490), Feb 28 at 0100 on WBCQ webcast, `AAAWWW` opens with
``before AI takes over the world ---``, so a repeat of last week Feb
21, which was a repeat of Feb 14 - and no other frequencies running,
checked into Vermont SDR. Never mind. AW still hasn`t replied to my
inquiry about 9330 heard back on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Feb 27 at 2257, still no signal from WBCQ/WLCR, but I
am quite sure that is what I heard in usual sidewise Portuguese Feb 25
at 2322, never since. However, something else showed up, pirate WDOG:

``This one's usually in the 6.9 MHz band, but he's broadcasting up at
9330 USB with classic rock and R&B songs so far. I'm getting good
reception from the SDR in Fair Hill, Maryland. You'll sometimes hear
dogs barking and howling during the music, which is WDOG's usual
practice. Eric Fetters-Walp, Lake Stevens, Washington USA, My QSL

WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Feb 28 at 0557, WRNO ID in `Country Roads`, contact
info in Ft Worth, S9+10/20 but not solid like it usually is; then into
preaching. Bit of C&W music I heard at first may also be religious

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 27225 USB, Feb 27 at 2304, pro-Trump sounds like a

further but a lot wattier than TU (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 740 kHz, Feb 27 at 1253 UT during bandscan happen to hit
KRMG Tulsa with advisory that viewers of Fox 23 by antenna will need
to rescan by March 7. That`s KOKI; means that it`s changing RF
channels, from what to what? Rabbitears.info shows it`s on physical =
RF channel 22, and will continue but `soon` callsign KOKI-TV will be
carrying the ROAR network; no mention of Fox as network/affiliation!
Maybe it`s about a slight change in transmitter sites SE of Tulsa. Ah,
here`s the scoop:
https://www.fox23.com/news/fox23-tulsa-moving-to-ktul-8-2-in-february/article_3c59dfb2-6623-43e6-9bf0-94be9695dcd6.html

``FOX23 Tulsa Moving to KTUL 8.2 in February
FOX23.com News Staff Feb 6, 2026

FOX programming in Tulsa is getting a new channel location. Sinclair
has acquired the FOX affiliation previously carried on KOKI FOX23 as
part of a transaction with Rincon Broadcasting. Beginning February 9,
2026, all FOX programming, including FOX network shows and FOX23 News,
will move from KOKI 23.1 to KTUL 8.2.

Simulcast Period Planned -- To give viewers time to adjust, FOX
programming will air on both KOKI 23.1 and KTUL 8.2 for three weeks.
The simulcast will run through March 1. Starting March 2, KTUL 8.2
will become the permanent home of FOX23 in Tulsa.

What Viewers Need to Know

Viewers who watch FOX using an over-the-air antenna will need to
rescan their televisions to receive the new channel. Sinclair is
working with cable and streaming providers, including Cox, DISH,
DirecTV, Optimum, YouTube TV and Hulu to minimize any disruption.
These changes will not affect ABC programming.``

Here`s what really happening, already in rabbitears.info:
KTUL is identical on two different physical channels, 14 and 24, but
both displaying as 8, with 8-1 ABC, 8-2 FOX, 8-3 Antenna TV, 8-4
Rewind TV. 8-1 nickname NewsChannel 8 and 8-2 nickname Fox 23 Tulsa.

So the KOKI call letters are being deleted?, or not:
KOKI-TV is still in rabbitears on display 23, physical 22, but with 6
other non-Fox networks: ROAR, Me-TV, Dabl, Charge!, Comet TV, The
Nest.

And Doug Smith, Nashville also replies: ``The KTUL on physical 24 is a
Digital Replacement Translator in McAlester (there is no engineering
difference between a "Digital Replacement Translator" and a plain old
translator. The difference is purely legal.) If similar Sinclair
actions in other markets (like Nashville and Dayton) are any
indication, KOKI 23 is not going away. It will remain 23.x with ROAR
on 23.1`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 382 MCW kHz, Feb 27 at 0732, MW, 25 watt NDB at `Jonny`

** CANADA. 15034 USB, Feb 26 at 1544, CHR Trenton Military finally
heard again after missing several days at random chex; flight weather
for Halifax, good S8 direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2336)

** CUBA. 11760, Feb 26 at 0732, S9+15/55 of dead air from RHC not
turned off hours ago. 15140, Feb 26 at 0733, JBA carrier. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Feb 26 at 1545, RHC S7/S9 music JBM with windhowl;
15230 S7/8 JBM music without howl; also 11760 at 1548, good mod and
clear S7/S9. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. Terry Krueger comments on the WOR iog: ``11880 CUBA RHC 2000
22 FEB 2026 - The best time to catch RHC in English here in NW
Florida, 2000-2100. Always local level and the one transmitter which
works almost flawlessly compared to the others. The same transmitter
is used for Spanish on 11760 at equal excellent level until highly
variable 1600-ish switch to 11880. Or sometimes, they don't bother to
switch and stay on 11760. Or sometimes, they never bother to come up
on 11880, like this day. Maybe Millennial Miguel (who never got to
learn "responsibility" from Arnaldo de Jesús Coro Antích) is on coffee
breaks when this happens?`` (VIA Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 2336)

** NORTH AMERICA. 9025, I have not caught the `presidential pirate`
again, but Terry L Krueger certainly has. Following is solely from
him, and must be credited as such:

``Boggy, Florida Occidental, IC-R75, NRD-535, ICF-7600GR, ICF-7600D,
Tescun PL-360, active loop, random fence-stapled wire, misc. junk.
9025 NORTH AMERICA (MUTANT) 'Presidential Pirate' 1546 19 FEB 2026
(Thursday) The usual presidential speeches audio snips at tune in,
again noted up at 1608. Very poor today. And 1608+ 20 FEB (Friday) at
fair level. But again, no trace of this on 21 FEB (Saturday) or 22 FEB
(Sunday), building on my theory that if not active weekends and
federal holidays, the source is a defense contractor testing a new
transmitter on this USAF HF channel. And there it is, back on 23 FEB
1428 check (Monday). Didn't get a chance to much monitor on 24 FEB
(Tuesday), but up at 1718 25 FEB (Wednesday), on/off as usual. Same 26
FEB, 1429 (Thursday) up briefly as well as other times after. What I
never noticed is that de-tuning to 9024.80 USB has the carrier
seemingly constantly on`` (VIA Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 2336)

** OKLAHOMA. 1680, Feb 26 at 1535 UT, JBA carrier wobbling at the rate
of about 5X per second, into home rig. Presumably Virtual DJ Radio
from other side of Enid, where I always hear it well on the caradio
but no BFO to detect the wobble (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY. 6125.003+, Feb 26 at 0453, VOT not off the air, signing off
in English, S9+25 into UTwente; 0454 IS to 0456*. The previous to NAm
Feb 25 at 2300 on 5960, had been missing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 299 MCW kHz, Feb 26 at 0744, HW, ND beacon at `Cubla`,
Wilmington OH, 25 watts, as first heard exactly 4 days ago. Wilmington
is between Cincinnati and Columbus (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

next four weeks still shows CQ-S Thu at 17-18 including WOR at 1730.

Confirmed NEW time of 0030 UT Friday February 27 on WRMI 5950, VG

Thanks this week to David Costa, Jacksonville FL, for a contribution
via PayPal in US funds but not necessarily, to: woradio at
yahoo.com@groups.io and says, ``Thank you for so many years of
information for short wave listeners``

One may also contribute via MO or check on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser,
PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, WTWW has received replacement parts, George McClintock
tells me, and expects to be back on air by Saturday Feb 28, not not in
time for the original WOR scheduled time of UT Sat 0400; possibly will
run it UT Sun or Mon at 0400? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Feb 26 at 0729, WBCQ is off again, and also at 1539.
So I asked Allan Weiner: ``Yesterday Feb 25 at 2322 UT = 6:22 pm EST,
I was hearing Portuguese on 9330, S9+20/30 on my generous meter, but
as before, ``non-solid`` signal off the side of your 170 beam toward
Brasil. But later in evening and since then, no signal on 9330. Can
you confirm this was WBCQ? I assumed it was, but also occurred to me
that WLC might have got some time on some other transmitter but on the
old frequency. So what is the outlook for full WLC service on your
9330 resuming? Tnx, Glenn`` - 24 hours later, 9330 is not back on
again, 2333 check Feb 26 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2336)

** U S A. 7505, Feb 26 at 0738, gospel huxter in English, S9+20/40
direct, another unpredictable WRNO extension (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15555 USB, Wolfgang Bueschel replies to my inquiry whether
anyone has been hearing WJHR, with what may be his latest? log: ``USA
15555 USB single sideband audio encoded, WJHR Milton FL, sermon on
homo sexuality theme, En screamer male sound, media block 15554.4 to
15558.2 kHz, on upper flank. S=9 at 15.23 UT, Oct 15, 2025 (wb df5sx,
via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Oct 21, 2025)`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** U S A. (1070), Feb 26 at 0600 UT, I`m monitoring the KHMO Hannibal
MO stream, khmoradio.com/listen-live/popup/
to determine whether the `Scott Jennings Show` playback I had been
hearing before 0800 was from KHMO or something else. 0601 CBS news,
0607.5 Alex Marlow show starts; but at 0707.5, yes, `Scott Jennings`
claiming to be live following SOTU. Yet the defunct Charlie Kirk still
appears on the KHMO program websked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 91.5, Feb 26 at 1604 UT, as I am bandscanning for Es FM DX
from Florida/Cuba, KSNS Medicine Lodge KS signal is enhanced enough to
make it clear that its music is in mono, not $ tereo; it`s on the Smile
FM network from all over Michigan. WTFDA FM DB does not specify mode
as mono. IIRC I have sometimes found the $ tereo pilot on (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9100 CW, Feb 26 at 1537, beeps every 7.5 seconds, i.e.
carrier on & off, steady rate of 8X per minute. What`s this? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 87.75 MHz, Feb 26 at 1602 UT, something in Spanish into
caradio tuned to 87.7 and also 87.9 but less audible. A trace of music
at 1609. I hastened to car after seeing on DXMAP sporadic E FM DX
being reported up to 99 MHz from OK to Lakeland FL, including 91.7
KOSU. Quick bandscans of bottom half of FM dial do not find anything
other unusual, and tropo from KS is somewhat enhanced.

WTFDA FM database shows on 87.7 only one FrankenFM in Spanish, and
it`s Florida: ``WEYS-LD 87.7 MIAMI FL SPANISH RELIGIOUS ALMAVISION
6035 3.0 kW H&V 232.0 m 25-58-15 80-12-32 Spanish 3D44 WEYS87.7
Almavision radio -Comprometidos con la verdad Religious Talk`` By
1730, DX opening to Lakeland has moved further south from Texas, then
outpeters below FM band.

Or could it be Cuba? Did not hear enough to determine whether
Christian or Commie, but WRTH 2026 page 771 implies that Cubavisión is
still on analogue 6 in Habana with 129 kW. If I enter Enid and Habana
on distancefromto.net, it shows 13395.69 km to an Habana on the
Queensland coast! No, not that one!
``Habana is a coastal rural locality in the Mackay Region, Queensland,
Australia. In the 2021 census, Habana had a population of 1,022
people`` ---
Specifying OK and Cuba: 2095.3 km = 1301.96 statute miles, so quite
possible in single-hop Es range (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2336)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Tue Feb 24 at 2256, WRMI S9+30/40 concluding
relay of DW in English via WRN - which they refuse to provide
themselves on SW; 2300 tango music, multi-lingual RAE ID, more and
more music, no announcements in any language past 2325+. At least
there is no more DX olds in Portuguese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 11780 // 6180, Feb 25 at 0750, RNA announcing s/on of the
two SW frequencies, despite having been running for quite a while,
often by 0730. And right into token English, another ep about RNA`s
founding in March 1974, admittedly originally broadcast in March 2024.
Parque Rodeador became one of the largest radio sites anywhere and
Brasil`s first opportunity to reach the whole world. Barely into it
when time is up by 0754 ID and switch to Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** BRAZIL. 11750.95, Feb 25 at 2319, carrier here, presumably R. Voz
Missionária in latest variation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28460 USB, Feb 24 at 2317, ZV3BA calling CQ LABRE. Not in
QRZ.com but I guess in Baía, like ZV6BA which is on the LABRE list
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28475 USB, Feb 24 at 2319, PP5OT calling CQDX in English,
then working a KB7. QRZ.com: ``PP5OT Brazil flag Brazil, ORIDES
BAULER, caixa postal 104, Timbó - Santa Catarina, sc 89120970,
Brazil`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28330 USB, Feb 25 at 2308, PU5JAT, calling CQ DX 10 in
English. QRZ.com: ``PU5JAT Brazil flag Brazil, Jaques "JAQUES"
Teixeira, POBox 337, Timbo, SC 89090970, Brazil - also with a useful
map about `Understand the Brazilians Callsigns` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28456 USB, Feb 25 at 22311, PY2UD calling QRZ from SP
state. QRZ.com: ``PY2UD Brazil flag Brazil, Guilherme "Vaz", P.O.BOX -
121, Tatuí, SP 18270970, Brazil`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 24927 CW, Feb 25 at 2303, EEEEE VVV DE VA3KAH/B - like now,
this is the only beacon or phone signal to be heard on the 12m band,
while meanwhile, 10m is hopping full as is 11m CB. Part of info at
QRZ.com: ``VA3KAH Canada flag Canada, Ian Douglas Baines, 33 Faircrest
Blvd, Kingston, ON K7L 4V1, Canada.

Kah-She Island - In Georgian Bay, Ontario (one of the Great Lakes) The
little Island heard around the world. EN95WC - Amateur radio station
VA3KAH is located on Kah-She Island in Georgian Bay, Ontario. Four
continuous CW radio beacons are located on the island, on 44, 22, 12,
and 10 meters. The beacons operate 24 / 7 and are unattended from
November to May. Thanks to its location far from shore in one of the
Great Lakes, Kah She Island is considered an exotic beacon location
and is highly prized by listeners from around the world. We try to
provide propagation information by operating a number of micro-power
to higher powered beacons on several bands. These include:
44 m 6783.4 KHz in the ISM band "VA3KAH/B" (dipole @ 18')
22 m 13566 KHz in the ISM band "KAH" (vertical @ 12')
12 m 24927 KHz 10 (watts output (dipole at 32')
10 m 28168 KHz 10 watts output (vertical @ 48')
6 m 50.054 MHz 10 watts (OCF dipole @ 35')``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Feb 25 at 0750, RHC still on with S9+ of windhowl.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Feb 25 at 1538, S8/S9 of deadair from RHC except for
some windhowl. 15230 is S5/S6 with JBM music. 11760 at 1542 S9 music
in clear. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Feb 25 at 2318, S9+10/20 of dead air from RHC, SAWA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 17725-17730-17735, Feb 25 at 1537, S6/S7 DRM noise. EiBi
shows TDF irregular at 14-18 for NEu, also 20-21 irr. for CAm (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 660 kHz, Feb 25 at 0711, XEFZ Monterrey with full ID
starting with XHGBO 92.1, ABC Deportes, ``sabemos cómo se juega``. Tho
10/1 kW, often atop 660 unless KTNN be confronting New York (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 5140 USB, Wed Feb 25 at *1500, Oklahoma
emergency ops net, which was missing exactly one week ago. NCS is
again WPFY721, Seminole. Rollcall in alfabetical order by locations,
and answers if any:
WQYW443 Beckham County [like Elk City];
WQZT582 Broken Arrow;
WQSY836 Byng EOC; Jeff answers, ops normal;
WNPV700 Durant, Bryan County; Bill answers L&C, strongest of all as

Anyone else? Algo JBA? but not acknowledged. Net closes at 1508, and
by now NCS WPFY721 is weakening. Reception should improve from March
11 with the imposition of DST so retimed to 1400 UT, losing an hour of
daylight (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** PANAMA. 28453 USB, Feb 25 at 2310, HP1ELV calling CQ DX. QRZ.com:
``HP1ELV Panama flag Panama, Edgar Labrador Viane, Don Bosco, Juan
Diaz, Via Tocumen, Casa #1104, Calle#3, Ave#2, PANAMA zip 0837 Zip
0837 {sic| Panama {sic thruout instead of Panamá} (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Feb 25 at 2300, REE weekly token English, S9+20/30
direct, and also only on much weaker 17715 for S America, NO signal on
12030 for ME, and still missing 17755 for Africa. Preview topix:
anniversary of Russia`s war on Ukraine; something else happened 45
years ago. 9690 already fading down a bit but still sufficient. Yet I
find it tiring listening thru the heavy accent of the OM. Something`s
not right at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 24 at 2258, VOT direct reads S9/+10. but dead
air? or JBM/JBA IS. 2300 timesignal finishes about 1 second early
compared to WWV which I have just checked. At 2340 into UTwente,
5960.002+ S9+35/40 with Turkish music; 2344 ``with you every hour``
promo; 2354 s/off as if it`s 1330 on 13635 - something`s still awry at
Ankara; 2355 fragment of IS and off* uncovering China (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960.001+, Feb 25 at 2259, no signal direct from VOT;
nor at 2352 into UTwente, when measured, too accurately for TRT,
Chinese songs only. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2335 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday
February 24 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.997+, S9/+12 into

Also confirmed Wednesday February 25 at 2200 on WBCQ 7490 -15 Hz,
S7/S9 into Maryland SDR. Preceded by unknown music, not TOMBS as has
been, nor long-gone Pirate Joe Extravaganzo, yet still on the websked.

** U S A [non]. Hi Glenn, on short notice --- we might to have to
cancel your 1730 UT outlet on Thursday. We had a promising enquiry
from a 12-year old group of radio maniacs, who want to get on the air
desperately on shortwave. We thought we let them a go for a test:
https://shortwaveradio.de/en/TalkMusic
Nothing for sure but we love to support youngsters. Just to let you
know. Show will be most probably in German language and the WhatsApp
link is NOT available for adults. I sort out any email for this
station for all DX-ers tomorrow. Cheers for now, Andy (Shortwave Radio
from Winsen on the river Aller, Germany), Feb 24)

** U S A. 9395, Feb 24 at 2300, this WRMI finally back on air, with
`Truth 2 Ponder` lamenting he doesn`t have hundreds of thousands of
followers like some you-tubers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Feb 25 at 2322, S9+20/30 of Portuguese, but not solid,
off the side, as World`s Last Chance Radio is suddenly and finally
back on WBCQ SuperStition after temporary ``bankruptcy?``. I have been
checking 9330 at least once a day (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15555 USB, Feb 24 at 1546, no signal from WJHR. In fact,
have not hit it in some weeks on random daytime bandscanning,
supposedly scheduled 1358-2200 per EiBi. So is it ever on the air?
When I did hear it, I wondered whether only tnx to a sporadic E
opening from this glorified ham station. Last report I find was in the
Dec 21, 2025 NASWA Flashsheet, from Cichorek-NJ, but omitting time and
date! Last time I logged it was Sept 26, 2025 until 2203*, but surely
heard since, but ignored. At that time, I also noted it had been
missing until then. Note occasionally has been on 15550 USB instead
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1090, Feb 25 at 2343-2346 UT, nothing direct via E/W
longwire except RCC talk about Pope, etc., S9+10, so it`s EWTN on KEXS
Excelsior Springs MO, no sign of KAAY Little Rock AR, which I have
been trying to catch powering down from 50 to 3.4 kW at LSS, but not
at 2345 in Feb? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 13830, Feb 25 at 1542, VR in Amharic, S9+5/25, and would
you believe it`s axually stronger here than Greenville Martí on
13820?! which is only S5/S9; and also exceeding 13845 WWCR. VR also
strong S9/+10 on // 15565.
These are supposedly aimed oppositely toward Ethiopia. No other
significant signals from Europe on either band (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1070 kHz, Feb 25 at 0703 UT, CBS news, could be KNX? But
KHMO Hannibal MO is also a CBS affil; fading down by 0706 when I want
to confirm whether Scott Jennings Show I heard before be coming from
KHMO. No answer, yet to my inquiry of the station. Sked still shows
Charlie Kirk, and most/all their other talkshows are far-right
extremists (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1550 kHz, Feb 25 at 0802 UT, ID starts with WO+
something. The only fit in NRC AM Log seems very unlikely, but: WOCC
Corydon IN U1 250/6 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
