** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Fri Feb 13 at 2302, RAE via WRMI, S9+10/20
into Maryland SDR, song in unknown language, 2303 multi-lingual ID
reel, then Chinese introducing Spanish song ``Un Poco Más`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** AUSTRALIA. 28505 USB, Feb 13 at 2324, VK2XZ calling CQDX,
especially N America. QRZ.com: ``VK2XZ Australia flag Australia, Rob
VK2XZ / VJ2X, Southern Highlands, POB 891 Bowral NSW 2576, Australia``
- with lots of info on his equipment, ethix (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 21645, Feb 13 at 2325, Chinese music, S7/S9 with Doppler
flutter, what else? CNR1 jamming vs Sound of Hope. OSOB, nothing on
21800 which used to be regular for those (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ECUADOR. 6038.6, Feb 14 at 0725, very diffuse extremely distorted
music, suspect a spur. A weaker blob circa 6062.2, not quite a
plus/minus match to 6050 HCJB, again on air all night, but modulation
seems same without a definite match on two receivers (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND. 28465 USB, Feb 13 at 2321, ZL2WN, Ross, contacting
KC5IIW?X?. QRZ.com says he will *not* QSL: ``ZL1WN New Zealand flag
New Zealand, ROSS BIGGAR, 210 Oroua Rd, R D 5, Palmerston North 4475,
New Zealand``
- also heard a Japanese phone on 10m - around this hour it`s not
unusual to have Japan, NZ/Australia, deep S America and the Pacific
``northwest`` all audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6950, Feb 14 at 0731, music mixing with 5th harmonic
of local 1390, KCRC stupid sportstalk, so must be a pirate
deliberately subjecting itself to such QRM. Latest 6950 AM in HF
Underground was R. Free Euphonia at *2215-2228* but then one USB unID
at 0923-0927 heard on Long Island (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960, Fri Feb 13 at 2258, no signal into UTwente from VOT
English, nor after 2300, but at 2318, JBA carrier direct must be
China; at 2353 into UTwente, nothing but Chinese music on 5960.000.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 245 MCW kHz, Feb 14 at 0713, FS, Sioux FallS SD, 100 watts.
one of few LW beacons JBA vs line noise plus storm noise.
338 MCW kHz, Feb 14 at 0714, RYN, Ryan, Tucson AZ, 400 watts, ditto.
Many of the closer regulars not audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2334 monitoring: confirmed Friday
February 13 at 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.997+, S6/S7 into
UTwente, as usual interrupting a previous program, something about
NYC.
Also confirmed Friday February 13 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, S9/+12 into
Maryland SDR, immediately preceded as usual by `California Dreamin``,
must be theme of previous show `OTH Radio`, which also does the legal
ID, right into me.
Also confirmed Friday February 13 at 2353 the 2331 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, 3975.003-, S8/S9 into UTwente.
Still not confirmed on WTWW 5085, UT Sat Feb 14 at 0400, as this WTWW
has been totally off the air for a month now! I`ve asked George what`s
the prognosis. The other one on 9930/5920 with nothing but TOMBS has
remained operational.
Also confirmed Saturday February 14 at 1553 the 1531 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, 6160.001+, S9+10/15 with some ACI, and 3975.001+, S8/S9 in
the clear.

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, UT Sat Feb 14: into Vermont SDR
which is accurately calibrated compared to WWV: *0055, 5130 -52 Hz =
5129.948 cuts on with The Planet ID & IS loop. Mainly I`m listening to
(7490) webcast. FKB finishes after 30-second warning tone, dead air,
0100.5 ID, and `WTO` theme, first interjexion, ``Oho, Argh?`` - ``OK,
before AI takes over our minds and the world```, single word,
``Real``. 5130 seems late joining, and way out of synch, as is JBA
6160. It`s World Radio Day. Allan thinx there are *billions* of SW
radios out there. Since world population of humans is now about 8.3
billion, that means one out of 4 or 5 persons has a SW radio, if there
be at least 2 billion; yeah, right. Concerned about AI slop,
ever-increasing electric consumption, driving up costs for
everything/one else. 0118 datestamp as 13 Feb YOOLF 2026, from Studio
9 in Deland of Fla. 0119 check, JBA on 6160, 5130. 0126 song ``Mr
Postman``. WLC has left 9330 at least *temporarily*, so available.
0138 acknowledges lots of reception reports, first names only: Norway;
0140 David in Mexico; 0142 Nestor in Argentina. 0133 Siddartha in
India for Angela on 6160. Dmitry in Russia. Bad news: Akanko (??sp??)
company in California has stopped rebuilding hi-power transmitting
tubes. Continental has been sold to a horrible corporate thing. 0150
from Mark in Michigan. 6160 R. Angela has been suspended, can`t afford
the costs to run it. Joseph somewhere. Edward in NJ. Yokota, Japan,
etc.... (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1190, Feb 14 at 0806 UT, ``Talk Radio 1190, KFXR``. U4 50/5
kW but seldom heard here; night pattern from site NE of Dallas, east
of Garland, has minor lobe due north but notch to the NNW; day pattern
from a *different* site west of Dallas barely reaches OKC on fringe
contour. I am more interested in something in Spanish (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, Feb 14 at 0710, R. Vanuatu still here with S4/S7
talk direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6016.8 approx., Feb 14 at 0723, JBA carrier, again
suspecting Organización Radial El Prado, still not sought earlier
before 0200 maybe modulating (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
