** CANADA. 223-MCW kHz, Jan 29 at 0707 UT, dash and YYW, 1000 watt ND
beacon at Armstrong, Ontario. Often like now the first one audible
tuning up the band; tho there are plenty more Canadians and
Unitedstatesians listed starting at 200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** COLOMBIA. Correxion to a recent log: 600, VOA via HJHJ started at
0059 UT January 27, not 2359 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11820, Jan 29 at 0325, JBA carrier from presumed 2 x 5910 CRI
relay; equivalent to 11850 JBA carrier of RHC itself. If putting out
as much signal as before, still not propagating. Something`s always
wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 29 at 0615, no signal from VON, not detectable
on 9690- nor 11770- either. It`s been quite a while since the *0555 IS
and Hausa on 7254.9 has been heard; when active it`s very strong but
not always well modulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** PERU. Correxion to a recent log: 4810 is Radio Logos, not R.
Chazuta, which is the location (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SWITZERLAND. 18165-USB, Jan 28 at 1545-1555, quick pro-forma
contacts with North American pileups; as usual have to listen multiple
minutes to catch the callsign correctly, uttered too quickly altho
fonetikaly by station and seldom by the pileuppers. Spells his name
ROLF and is in NW Switzerland: HB9RDE

** U S A. 379-MCW kHz, Jan 29 at 0721 UT, ND beacon DL, mixing with
weaker RUE, at slightly different pitches and periods. Normally only
or dominant here is RUE, 25 watts at RUssellvillE, Arkansas. DL is 50
watts from DuLuth - Pike Lake, Minnesota. RNA Signal list explains:
DL LSB/USB = 1028/1020, period 5.9 5 (means 5.95??) named `Pykla`
RUE LSB/USB = 1015/1127, period 4.4 seconds
These mostly JBA LW/MW logs are always on E-W longwire which I assume
provides more gain than the DX-398 internal antenna which however
would maybe allow nulling choices for such as these at right angles

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2070 monitoring: confirmed final
repeat UT Thursday January 28 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, VG S9/+15 into

{slight correxion: USA, the AZ log of COVID TIS on 1650 was at
``1100`` which I now realize must have been EST, even tho it`s
inapplicable in AZ! I converted to 18 UT as if it had been MST +7,
instead of +5 = 16 UT}

First broadcast of WOR 2071 just minutes after completion, confirmed
UT Friday January 28 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850 VG direct; 7780 G S8/S9+10
to UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7571.6, Jan 28 at 0234, WRMI TOMBS on 7570 has unusual QRM
from rapid beeping at rate of about 160/minute, i.e. carrier cutting
on and off from the upper side as if it were deliberate SE Asian style
jamming. Normally blasting 7570 is only S9+10 with noisy modulation of
its own as often the case out of Walterboro. 0326 recheck, QRM is off
and 7570 has ascended to S9+10/20 but with undermodulation (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5830, Jan 29 at 0230 and still 0333, dead air from WTWW-1
instead of SFAW, SOB. During the hour signal had dropped from S9+10 to
S7-S9; meanwhile, 5085 WTWW-2 continued rockmusicking distortedly at
both times. Ted`s stuff is obviously primary, even tho the heirs of
Laporte`s passé Pastor Pete Peters own the thing (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search January 29 at 1335
since I`m unfortunately awake before sunrise now right at 1335; on the
DX-398 so I can rotate DFing: 1566 from NW, no doubt FEBC S Korea,
flanked by even weakers 1557 and 1575, but none lower by now, not even
972 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
