** AUSTRIA [and non]. 5980, Feb 27 at 0251, carrier vs pointless pulse
jamming from Cuba. At 0200-0300, AWR in Urdu, Punjabi via Moosbrunn
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 6754-USB, Feb 27 at 0237, CHR, Trenton Military, is back!
Had been missing exactly a month, first noted absent January 27 also
from 15034-USB daytime. Since then I have bandscanned past 15034 at
least once daily, and 6754-USB less than nightly. 6754-USB is now
S9+10 with usual ``no report received`` from many but not all,
currently Lajes, Keflavik, Shannon, Prestwick. The same repeat a few
times but not always with the same NRRs. 0241 ID ``This is Trenton
Military, Time 0140 Z`` -- so they *still* haven`t set their clock
from 61 minutes slow. Another sesquiweek and it should be almost right
again, if DST/ST caused such confusion. Then into the usual rotation
of Canadian bases, some of them NRR, until the next ID at 0246 as if
``0145 Z``.
15034-USB is also back, Feb 27 at 1546, VG peaking S9+30. The question
is, how did all those Canadian military flights manage without CHR on
SW for a month? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2023)
** CUBA. 6000, Feb 27 at 0250, RHC English is S9+10/20 but JB
modulated; much better on only // 6145. Something`s always wrong at
RHC. BTW, something you will not hear about on RHC! ---

** CUBA. 15369.2+, Feb 27 at 2319, quick check to reconfirm RHC is
*Still* way off-frequency from 15370, day 16. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND. 6224-USB, Feb 27 at 0711, marine weather in Enzlish,
numbers digit-by-digit, only concerning barometer, visibility, wind
speed and direxion, probably for many locations I can`t copy on weak
signal, around the coasts of NZ as this is exclusive channel for ZLM,
Taupo Maritime Radio, as in EiBi, with numerous 32-minute broadcasts
starting at :03 or :33 past the hours, but not every semihour. 0715
recites frequency list I can`t copy either but per EiBi they are:
2207, 4146, 6224, 8297, 12356, 16531 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7480, Feb 28 at 0331, anti-Christ pirate, Station
YHWH is S9 but undermodulated, unreadable but recognisable; tnx to tip
from Rick Barton in the Sonoran desert of AZ; his alternate night
frequency, usually 7470 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 27 at 2319, VOT manages to be on air today during
music break (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 6993.0-AM, Feb 27 at 0208, JBA carrier, S3-S4 also noted
various night times recently. Presumed WH2XWF in Florida, as per
previous reports, lastly in DXLD 18-22:
``6993, May 24 [2018] at 0000, JBA carriers, at least two beating from
slightly different frequencies. Often audible but not logged since
last September as in http://www.w4uvh.net/dxld1737.txt
from presumed WH2XWF, experimental 164-watt transmitters with several
locations in Florida, to study ionospheric disturbances, never IDing,
nothing but dead air. The original info about these was in:
http://www.w4uvh.net/dxld1616.txt
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)``
** U S A. 13554-CW, Feb 27 at 1455, HIFER beacon, JBA, heard WV sent
twice, then fadeout or off before I could measure it. LWCA has it on
13554.98 from Richwood, West Virginia, i.e. almost 13555. Now regular
K6FRC from California also audible better on 13565 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WORLD OF RADIO 2023)
** U S A [and non]. 13788, 13804, 13836, 13852, Feb 27 at 1459, spur
carriers from Radio Martí 13820 Grimesland transmitter are again JBA,
at slightly more than 16 kHz multiples; vs some splatter from jammer
on 13820 out to the first order at least (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Feb 27 at 0223-0233+, S9+20 of dead air from WRNO.
What`s the point of transmitting but not modulating? Is the site at
Metairie LA unpersonned, mis-relying on remote control from Fort
Worth? Anyway an improvement over usual gospel-huxtering (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1090, Feb 27 at 0702 UT, KAAY Little Rock AR keeps on going
with commercials and SRN News, failing to provide any ToH deadairhole!
So even less chance to ID anything else besides XEAU in its null, and
het from 1089 UK. This had been going on since at least January 3 when
I first reported it. We`ll hear if KAAY be permanently fixed (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1120, Feb 27 at 0659 UT, KTXW, Manor-Austin ID with KMOX St
Louis nulled. KMOX certainly dominates at night, but I have long been
hearing something else by nulling it, wondering if it were new 50 kW
daytimer KCRN in Colorado, which a while ago was being reported at
night; KTXW is supposed to be only 155 watts night, or is it 5600 day
power? Both of them gospel huxters (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1160, Feb 27 at 0706 UT, KSL Salt Lake UT ID, then a minute
of dead air until Jim Bohannon start at 0707, but with a subhost.
Dratted IBOC from 1170 KFAQ Tulsa QRMs from 1157 peak, nulling as much
as possible; and I suppose KSL return the disfavor on 1173, but much
less obvious here so much closer to Tulsa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1210, Feb 27 at 0708 UT, IDs in English for KUBR San Juan TX
in the RGV and multi-station FM & AM network; otherwise,
gospel-huxtering in Spanish, not to be mistaken for Mexican. I check
this sometimes with KGYN nulled, for 50 kW daytimer in Michigan, WJNL
which for months used to run reliably all night, but apparently not
any more (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7525-USB, Feb 27 at 0220, 2-way unseems Spanish (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
