I'm heading home to Victoria tomorrow, so here are more loggings made
during the past week. Any errors are my own, and corrections/comments are
welcome. 73, Walt

AUSTRALIA 17650, 2259-, Reach Beyond Australia Jan 22 Listed in Japanese,
but with an English language program. Signed off with time and frequency
information, and confirming time in Japan, all in English. Transmitter cut
a few seconds after 23:00 UTC. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

EGYPT 9890, 1923-, Radio Cairo Jan 22 Strong S9+10 signal into Masset and
actually perhaps 33% modulation. Somewhat distorted with a mid-ranged
rumble, but one can make out the Russian language content. Music at 19:26,
but still with the rumble, but clear enough for Shazam to ID the music:
Kol El Omor by Saber Rebai. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

GERMANY 9525, 1929-, Adventist World Radio Jan 22 Carrier on at 19:29:00.
At 19:30, 'You're listening to Adventist World Radio', then IS, then
multilingual IDs. Then in English with web address. The following program
is in Igbo. Very good reception. Very nice for 250 kW with a 186 degree
beam. Perhaps off the back, or long path propagation. Not on the air
when checked on January 24th. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

IRAN 9650, 1530-, Voice of the Islamic Republic of Iran Jan 24 Big empty
carrier noted, without a hint of modulation. Supposed to be in English.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

IRAN 11880, 1927-, Voice of the Islamic Republic of Iran Jan 22 Still zero
modulation on their scheduled English broadcast at this time. (Salmaniw,
Masset, BC)

ROMANIA 7235, 1918-, Radio Romania International Jan 24 Not showing up on
the DRM schedule on the KiwiSDR, but showing as German at Short-wave.info
webpage. Too weak for audio, but text is showing. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

RUSSIA 8888, 0207-, VOLMET Jan 24 This is a fascinating channel. 3
different cities are listed as providing VOLMET services: Syktyvkar (Komi
Republic and furthest to the North) at 00: and 30: minutes, Samara at 15:
and 45: minutes, and Novosibirsk at :10 and :40 minutes. I was listening
from 02:00 UTC tonight and no one came on until exactly 02:07. There
seemed to be a bit of a delay in the transmission, making for an echo, so I
wondered whether there was more than one transmitter site, and :07
minutes? This is the closest to :10 for Novosibirsk, and seems to be the
usual reported (whether correct or not). What was interesting was it cut
at exactly 02:20 leaving a much weaker station...with the identical female
Russian voice. So perhaps this is Samara? Nothing heard at 02:30, but
there she is again at 02:37 UTC, so presumably the same station as at
02:07. They give temperatures and wind speed (in M/Sec). Off at 02:45
with again, a very weak station continuing (but weaker than before). My
signal strength was about as good as the often used Novosibirsk KiwiSDR
(although they had OTH radar QRM as well). (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

TIBET 4905, 1600-, Hello Xizang Jan 24 Very strong reception this morning.
Time pips, 6 seconds late, then into IDs, but not a word about Tibet. News
in English. Mostly economic propaganda. We had a very windy night. This
morning all my antennas are quite noisy with frequent static crashes. Once
it's light, I'll have to check my antenna farm, although I suspect some
branches on power lines somewhere. However, there is a lot of lightning
activity especially north of Hawaii, Eastern Australia, and just to the
east of Japan (via lightningmaps.org). This channel is strongest of the
various other frequencies on 4, 6, and 7 MHz. 4920 also about as strong.
Excellent modulation. News continued (yawn) until 16:19. They then gave
email and website addresses, then into Tibetan music. Very distinctive.
Noticed at the same time some digital hash between 4901 and 4903, so had to
switch to SAU to avoid that. I then switched over to 6200 which was much
quieter and just as strong. Temperature in Lhasa was - 18 deg. Tourism
section of Hello Xizang follows at 16:25, but with the same heavily
accented female we usually hear. She mentions the only Catholic church
located in Xizang, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church in Yerkalo. Then
salt production from brine. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

TIBET 6200, 1658-, Hello Xizang Jan 22 What was formerly Holy Tibet was
coming in very well this hour, and improving throughout. Strongest of many
frequencies available. An interesting song at the end, with a bit of rap
included! No ID via Shazam. Into time pips at 17:00 and presumed ID. Not
100% sure that it's Tibetan, though, and not Mandarin. Other channels
heard: 4905 (good), 4920 (good, apart from occasional digital hash between
4922 and 4924, 6025 (fair), 6130...not sure whether it's them due to huge
adjacent 6125 splatter, 6110 (poor/fair), 7255 (would be good, except for
cochannel CRI English!), 7385 (listed, but another program heard here).
Excellent reception this morning, January 25th on the 60 meter channels.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

TIBET 6200, 1630-, Hello Xizang Jan 22 Quite good reception today on
multiple frequencies. Best on 6200, but also well heard on 4905, 4920.
Also audible on 6025, 6110, and 7255. 7385 had a different program
running. 7255 suffers from cochannel CRI in English. Tibetan music
playing. As always, very difficult to follow the English speech due to the
heavily accented female. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

USA 9275, 2344-, WMLK (non) Jan 24 I haven't heard WMLK for several days
now, checking several times per day. Technical glitch?. (Salmaniw, Masset,
BC)

USA 9395, 0100-, Canadian Content Radio Jan 24 Very nice reception tonight
of his final show (for now). Signal steadily improved throughout the hour
from good, to very good reception. A nice selection of music, and musings.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

USA 13158, 2344-, KPH Jan 24 Very good reception with sea conditions in
voice. California area. Wind speeds in knots and temperatures in
Fahrenheit. Calling for rain, which would be great for the southern
California fire situation! Continued to 23:51:20, then quick CW ID for KPH
(2 seconds), and off. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

YEMEN (NON) 11934.894, 1938-, Republic of Yemen Radio Jan 22 Very good
reception over the Pole with quite a smeared carrier. Clean audio in
Arabic. No sign of scheduled Vatican Radio in Latin at 19:40 UTC.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

** U S A. Pre- `AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, UT Sat Jan 25 at 0041 via
Maryland remote, as NH is offline in opposition to some CW contest:
3265, 5130 ad 6160 nosigs. 7490 -75 Hz = 7489.925, S9+5/20 with FKB.
At *0055 5130 comes on with IS & IDs for WBCQ The Planet, and -4 Hz =
5129.996! At 0100, 7490- with WTO, Allan`s first exclamation over
theme is ``radio that powerful``. 5130 seems on but JBA; 6160 still
seems off? In Florida it`s wintry cold. First lauding Drumpf and
urging everyone to put aside partisan politix for two or four years,
yeah, sure. And mentions that this time they are also on 9330, the
WLCR SuperStition, which is S+15/20 into Maryland; at best with full
wire antenna here, S9 and ``hollow``, and useless into portable: I bet
it`s still aiming at Brasil, when they are always weakest here off the
side. I`ve always wondered why he didn`t reserve an hour or few on the
S.S. for BCQ programming other than WLCR! 6160 is now on with
something else. 0113 a radio tune, ``The Sports`` is that the title?
0124, says 6160 now is carrying `The Intelligence Report`.

Trying to get Continental to sponsor some SW programming. Cont`l is
working on a totally solid-state SW transmitter up to half a megawatt.
BCQ`s has a TH576 Thalès tube from France. The 420-D transmitter is
all water-cooled, and very computer-centric: everything is operated by
computer. 0129 datestamp as 24 January YOOLF 2025, live from Studio 9
in Deland of Fla. 0130 plays a song for Angela. 0133 ``free speech
radio, peace and understanding``. They haven`t planned what music to
play, but instead fiddle around on the air between tunes, sotto-voce.
0135 ``Love, Sweet Love``. 0139 ``Downtown`` by someone who can`t
really sing, Mrs. Miller? Some of these are listener requests rather
than from Angela, but at 0142 Angela`s favorite song, not identified
but I recognize  ``Baby Elephant Walk``. 0146 IDs again as
trimulcasting. 0147 tune named ``War``? 0152 someone wants to know the
azimuth of 9330 now; unknown, ask Jason? 0153 ``Pilot of the
Airwaves`` song. Emails. 0159 prayer. 0200.4 JIP Hal Turner on 7490-,
also supposed to be on 6160-. 9330 goes back to WLCR in Portuguese. At
0201, 5130- still on as Oxycontin? Radio, F-bombs, Yahweh, yahweh,
yahweh parody till 0203* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5800, Jan 23 at 0724, lite pulse jamming against nothing,
long after WRMI is off this frequency. Presumably prompted by `Freedom
Synergy Radio` which is axually pro-Taiwan, anti-ChiCom, had been
scheduled at 0300-0400* on WRMI-10 5800, from System B, and maybe
still is. Shown only on the freq sked block, nowhere in the program
skeds. System B otherwise means 9955, where it`s not scheduled either.
IIRC, R. República was also on 5800 for a while, forever damaging it,
as once jammed, a frequency forever subject to be torn up by the
incompetent DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9395, UT Fri Jan 24 at 0100-0200, WRMI with `Canadian
Content Radio`, which Sean Welsh advised would be going on hiatus
after this week`s run with several repeats. Was all the music really
Canadian? Or is it just music the Canadian host likes.

5850, UT Fri Jan 24 at 0200-0238+, this WRMI playing various pop
