** BRAZIL. 9666.012v, Feb 19 at 2310, Voz Missionária S6-S8 with song
presumably praiseworthy and then at 2313, ID in English! Claiming
frequencies are 9665, 5940 and 11750 from RVM Radio. Tnx for the
English, but they are woefully misinformed: NEVER on 9665 exactly nor
5940 --- It`s always off-minus, but now a JBA carrier in huge BS
splash from 5935 WWCR. And hasn`t been on 11750 for YEARS. It was
already deleted from WRTH 2018, maybe earlier. 11750 now occupied only
by RHC 11760 splash (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, Feb 19 at 1921, RHC is S9 of dead air. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9535, Feb 19 at 2323, RHC is S9 of dead air; while 9640 is
OK. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 6185.703V, Feb 19 at 0433, XEPPM is S9+10/20 and just
barely modulated; someone had reported no modulation at all, which it
might as well be, totally useless (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 960, Feb 9 at 1900 UT, quick ToH ID from KGWA Enid,
putting insignificant 100.9 translator first, and ``from the
Ladusau-Evans studios`` --- what?? KGWA has sold naming rights of
their studio to a local mortuary --- either that or they have axually
moved into the funeral home. How apropos, just in time for deadbeat
Fox ``News`` and Rush. BTW someone from Williams Broadcasting is
presenting a CCTV seminar February 21 at 1930-2030 UT in the campus
building of NWOSU Enid on entrepreneurship (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. ``Brad, Something very strange last night on 90.1, for at
least half an hour before and after 1 a.m. --- Brazilian popular
music, no announcements (tho I may have missed something at top of
hour), nice but certainly not classical WCPE --- was KUCO plugged into
a wrong satellite feed? Back to classical when I awoke briefly and
checked at 5:45. Regards, Glenn Hauser, Enid``
That`s about KUCO, 0700 and 1145 UT Feb 19; asking manager Brad
Ferguson about it, he replies:
``Hi Glenn, WCPE went into their emergency log last night, so
something failed somewhere in their chain. We have an emergency log
too, but it's classical. Go figure! BF``
Strange. This shows nothing out of ordinary around 2 am ET:

** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 19 at 2319 and 2348 chex, another night with NO
signal from VOT English to us. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 417 kHz, Feb 19 at 0728 UT, ND beacon copied several times
as ``dit-dit, dit-dit-dah-dah``. That second one is not a letter in
our alfabet, but in the Russian as that ``yu`` letter looking like a
conjoined IO. Looking at the dxinfocenter and classaxe references on
417 and vicinity, I think it must be 25-watt IY in Charles City, Iowa,
which I have copied several times before, but now miskeyed just one
dah off from Y, which is dah-dit-dah-dah (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 420 kHz, Feb 19 at 0730, ND beacons FQ and PK mixing; and
when tuned to 418-USB I hear only FQ. Both 25 watts, FQ is in
Fairmont, Minnesota, and PK is Olathe - Herbb, Kansas. BTW, I don`t
try to report signal strength of NDBs as they are almost always JBA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5332-CW, Feb 19 at 0436, CQ DE KI5AL K with several
repetitions, seems slowly hand-keyed, easy copy. I never can remember
the exact discrete frequencies forming the so-called ``60 meter``
hamband, but this must be one of them. ARRL.org shows
Jett, Herbert A, KI5AL, Seguin, TX 78155. And his profile at
https://www.qrz.com/lookup/ki5al
shows he is 74, a ham less than a year and only started CW a few
months ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 13852.062, Feb 19 at 1502, JBA spur from something, can it
be RHC? NO, I barely make a match with Radio Martí audio on 13820,
which is VG and well above the jamming. However there is a bit of
jamming splat out to here. This is nothing like the RHC spurs which
are huge distorted blobs --- not today! --- but rather a very weak
signal with OK modulation. OCB Grimesland is showing Bauta how to make
spurs!
Then I go looking for more and sure do find them: this one is 32.062
kHz plus 13820, so how about minus? There it is: 13787.942 measured
independently which would be minus 32.058 kHz, close enough. These are
axually second order, since I then find plus and minus ~16 kHz, and
multiples of that, not measured precisely: 13836, 13868, 13884, 13900;
and 13804, 13772, 13756, 13740. At 1552 I do measure one of them:;
13836.026.
13852 etc., Feb 19 at 1920 recheck, JBA spur carriers still detectable

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2021 monitoring: couldn`t check Wed
Feb 19 at 2100 on WRMI 7780 or 2200 on WBCQ 7490v; anybody hear
them?
Confirmed UT Thu Feb 20 at 0100 on WRMI 7780 -- only poor via UTwente
SDR.
WOR 2022 should be ready by early UT Feb 21:

** U S A. 15770, Feb 19 at 1913, poor signal from SMTV via WRMI, only
once, no echo, during list of languages utilized. 5800 not echoing
either circa 2320 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11644.2-USB, Feb 19 at 1620, weak 2-way in colloquial
Spanish, INTRUDERS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
