Spanish seems about béisbol (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [non]. 15380, Feb 4 at 1549, no open carrier yet direct from
R. Martí; maybe they heeded my questioning wasted kWh? Already on and
modulating: 11860, 11930, 13570, 13820. Next chek at 1713 into
Knoxville SDR, same except 15380 on, 11860 off (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** NORTH AMERICA. 9025 AM, Feb 4 at 1551, the `presidential pirate` is
on at its signature frequency, mentioning April 12, 1945, the date of
FDR`s death, and then to JFK`s inauguration Jan 20, 1961, and the
start of his speech. I`m just beginning a 9 MHz bandscan, as always
upward from 8989, so I`m bound to hit this when it`s on; continued
bandscan but by 1554 recheck, 9025 already off. Last logged Dec 11,
2025 at same time of day, note! 1554-1600* A few HFU reports say this
goes back to 2018y. UDXF has numerous logs of 9025 as a USAF frequency

L02030576, License Class: Technician`` - S9+15 about equal to noise
level. Counts 12345, 54321. Each week there is a different selexion of
stations in roll-call - most do not reply, but does she know which
ones each week should not even be called? Compare to my reports last
weeks. This week, copied as best I can, all calls fonetikaly, twice
unless answered first; no one else mentions a ham call:
