** 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)

** 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

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')

** 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

11 with the imposition of DST so retimed to 1400 UT, losing an hour of
daylight (Glenn Hauser, Enid, 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 [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)
