** BRAZIL. 4885, Jan 14 at 0450, R. Clube do Pará almost back to
normal? S9+10/20 in Portuguese talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, Jan 14 at 0451, R. Progreso is back on, unlike offness
last night - but modulation is breaking up, crackling while S9+20/30
carrier is steady. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Sunday Jan 14 at 1622, RHC weekly Esperanto S9+20,
good mod, something about a meeting in Brazilo; no signal on 15140,
nor any RHC found anywhere else on any band. Something`s always wrong
at RHC.

Hey! They have finally updated their frequency sked for current season
B23:
https://www.radiohc.cu/de-interes/frecuencias
but this page is about Spanish only. How about English? To get to
other langs one must click on the globe icon at upper right of
homepage:
https://www.radiohc.cu/en/de-interes/frecuencias
shows ONLY THESE: S Fsco 6100 05-07 - imaginary, I NEVER hear it;
Chicago 15140 20-21 - usually off, sporadic? and Washington 6000 01-07
- of course irregular and usually poorly modulated if at all.

The Programming Schedule link in dropdown under Interesting, even from
the English subsite leads not to any specific program names/times, but
to a complete transmission sked presented in Spanish, of all languages
which is obviously extremely outdated with loads of dead frequencies,
but not dated:
https://www.radiohc.cu/en/de-interes/programacion

How about Esperanto? Lots of interesting illustrated stories with
text:
https://www.radiohc.cu/eo
while its Frekvencoj page is for B23, showing ONLY these two, Solo
Domingo:
S Fsco 6100 0800-0830 = NOT heard; N/C/SAm 11760 1600-1630.

Why are only Commies bothering to SW broadcast Esperantoly? Not even
gospel huxters, who employ the most minority langs, only Cuba and
China, see:
https://www.addx.de/cgi-bin/hfp.cgi
but with wrong imaginary time for Havanna, 0700 as in A-seasons.

One might explore the other languages, linking only to French,
Portuguese, Arabic -- forget about Guarani, Quechua, long gone. But
does Creole still exist? Haitian, that is, tho targeted on Rio de
Janeiro, Chicago. Manythings always wrong at RHC! (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NETHERLANDS. 5954.96, re my log of presumed R. Veronica, JBA Jan 12
at 0735: ``Yes, it is Veronica in the WRTH Web App. And yes, exactly
on 5954.96 kHz. Mauno`` Ritola (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2225 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday January 14 at 0100 on WRMI 9955: I happen to have UTwente
running so check first there: dominated by S7/S9 pulse jamming over
there, a trace of WOR under. I also have Argentine SDR ready after
noshow of LRA36: WOR is fluttery S9/+15 and noisy but no jamming
audible down there.

Also confirmed UT Sunday January 14 at 0416 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, VG
S9+23 into nearby SDR, about 6 minutes into so started a bit early c.
0410.

Also confirmed Sunday January 14 at 1130 on WRMI 9955, S9+20 when I
happen to awaken. Next:

As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated. Thanks this
week to Joe Caberlin, Port Colborne, Ontario for some spare US$ to
Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA; preferably by MO or
check on a US bank

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to:

** U S A [and non]. 870, Jan 14 at 0750 UT, S9+20/25 of dead air, got
to be WWL silent, atop JBA others, occasional Cuban whooper (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1359.71, Jan 14 at 0259 UT, definite het upon 1360.00
stations dominated by sports coverage, no audio into E/W longwire.
Later lookup at mwoffsets finds this top entry!:
1360 1359,714 WCGL (Jacksonville, FL) 2022-12-06
It`s U1 5000/89 watts -- you think?
1359.71 carrier/het also detected on other rx at 0448.

Further research far back into my archives:
1360 1359.71 -290 Hz Cypress Gardens FL (WHNR)
(Medium Wave News 51/02 May/June 2005 via DXLD)

which probably derived from this 2004y log:

U S A. 1359.71, FLORIDA, WHNR, Winter Haven - 0914+ 31 October, US
soul and blues oldies, black female "I'm Debra McDowell and thank you
for listening... on your blues and oldies station..." Same off-
frequency observation here as Crawford logs. Fair signal at best
(Terry L Krueger, Clearwater, Florida, USA, 27.55.83 N, 82.46.08 W, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

WHNR still exists, U4 5000/2500 but nothing about it being so far
off-frequency in past bidecade; except now appears barely on wrong
side of .000 in mwoffsets:
1360 1360,0009 WHNR (Cypress Gardens, FL) 2022-02-18 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier check, Jan 14 at 0305, not
total 9/kHz scan but finds these when sought on the `545: 693, 711,
891 kHz.

Temp is down to 4F and falling. A bit later, Jan 14 at 0444, a full
9/kHz scan on the R75: 909, 1044, 1053-strongest, 1089 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1944 UT January 14
