Note: last report was for Feb 25-26 not 26-26 as missubjected

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Feb 26 at 1523, no signal from LRA36
into four Brasilian SDRs this Saturday, probably no-show, tho it might
have come and gone by now, usually at least until 1530. Have seen no
other reports of it today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9666.728, Feb 26 at 0737, R Voz Missionária back on
tonight, S9-S6 but usual VG modulation with songs that sound more
secular than sacred without being able to follow the lyrix. Very slow
upward drifting trend continues. Last time I measured it was Feb 1 on
9666.561, or plus 6.68 Hz per diem on average, but it has not been
steady (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 9700, Feb 26 at 0735, RHC English still on here at
S9+30 but no others. Even 5040 is off by 0742 leaving a JBA carrier,
presumably Vanuatu. Something`s always wrong wRHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. Feb 26 I have spent several hours monitoring
remotes for Dengê Welat and/or jamming.

9525 at 0504 via UTwente, S7-S9, martial music jammer like yesterday
when it cut off at 0530* but today keeps going until 0600*. DW itself
is again on 7350.

11530 at 1525 via UTw: jammer with same kind of martial music as last
nights; while DW programming is on 11540, with some BBC-like sounders.
At 1547 a brief clip in English. Off at 1559*.

9525 retuned to and at *1600 it seems to be just coming on with DW
music and talk. 11530 via UTw still jamming against nothing with
wailing and music, but off at 1608*.

Meanwhile recheck the skeds to get bearings, but neither seems correct
today:

EiBi as of Feb 16: DW 11530 at 06-17 via Moldova, 17-19 France. Jammer
11530 at 06-19 via Emirler, but also ``anti-Kurdish tape`` at 06-16 on
11540. Also earlier: 7350 at 0330-0600 DW via France.

Aoki as of Feb 23: DW 7350 via France at 0330-0558, no jam; 9525
France 1558-2200 with jamming at 05-21. 11530 at 13-15 Moldova, 15-16
France, no jam. 11540 Moldova at 06-13, no jam listed.

Observer Bulgaria had new DW relays via Secretbrod/Kostinbrod as of
Feb 23, but none of these heard on Feb 26: 07-14 15285 unchecked,
14-17 9480, 17-19 9550, 19-22 6180; 22-24 5945.

Back to what I do hear:

9525 at 1614, S8-S9 to Ireland SDR; 1630 abrupt switch from music to
talk; more music past 1700. It`s notable that in all my hours of
listening I never perceive a Dengê Welat ID or even mention in passing
of either word, tho possibly somewhere in there and missed. I do hear
Ukraine mentioned occasionally.

11530, at 1702, jam music against nothing via Ireland

9550, at 1709, no Bulgarian signal to Ireland.

9525 at 1730+, DW music via UTwente; occasional brief OTH radar clix
such as at 1735, 1747, 1802, 1952.

9525 at 1739, I am shocked to hear the VOT interval signal tune, so is
this really Turkey instead of DW? But this is a different version of
the song with vocal lyrix.

11530 at 1741, jammer still on with music, crowd yelling. 1802 during
martial music, speech over PA with reverb; heard via Ireland

9525 music before and after 1800 but YL talk at 1802. UTw stops at
1830 but I reboot as it had displayed 900 instead of max 750 users.
1835-1928 UT, I`m out paying exorbitant ever-rising cost of PO Box;
and lunch.

UTwente now displays around 1460 users, constantly fluxuating.

9525 at 1928, DW music still via UTw.

11530 at 1929, jammer is now off into Ireland; nor on 11540.

6180 at 1933, another Bulgarian frequency absent into Ireland. Also at
2045, nor 9480 which I think I also checked earlier.

9525 at 1935, Ireland now hears both DW and JBA under, the jammmusic,
finally on same frequency; but at UTw the two are mixing almost even
level. Quite a cacophony at 2055 with both in music, but by 2105 only
one is left on both remotes, I think DW.

At 2202, via UTw, no activity on any of the mentioned DW or jammer
frequencies, not even 5945 Bulgaria.

Now UTwente shows ~1700 users! Must have expanded its capacity with
huge demand thanks to Putin. Unfortunately there is no SWBC, let alone
in English, from Ukraine or Russia, but one can try to hear MW such as
400 kW UR1 on 549. As discussed in the WOR iog, Ukrainian TV and radio
can be accessed online. Previously scheduled English segments seem to
have been suspended (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW kHz, Feb 26 at 0744 UT, PN, 25-watt NDB at Ponca
City is still off as it has been since Feb 23 (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)
