 ** ARGENTINA [non]. Re RAE via WRMI 9455, Jan 6 at 2310, ``Telam agency has reached an agreement to supply news to R. Nacional network stations`` -- Bill Tilford replies:
``You mean the agency formerly known as Telam? Milei's government closed the original in 2024 and retrofitted it as APE (Agencia de Publicidad del Estado, or State Advertising Agency). It might not be fair to compare it to OANN in the US, but it won't ever say anything naughty about Milei either. --Uncle Bill`` I did not hear APE mentioned. Suspect this was playback of a very old outdated `Atividade DX` as also evident from monitoring a few weeks ago with DX `news` about stations no longer on air. Another reply, from Richard Stoller, PA: ``In Milei's defense, Telam was always in the pocket of the "gobierno de turno" or whoever was in power, so the new version is at least more honest -- it's a government press office`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 7300, Jan 7 at 1553, Chinese with tinkly music background, S7/S8 and the SSOB except for 7490 WWCR. Aoki & EiBi show at 15-16 only, CNR1 jamming vs R. Taiwan International (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** COLOMBIA. 1100.28, Jan 7 at 0710, JBA het against WTAM 1100.00 et al., presumably again HJAT Barranquilla off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 5140 USB, Jan 7 at 1500, the Emergency Operations Net on alternate? Wednesdays resumes after holiday break. YL NCS counts up and down 12345, 54321, then roll call. Her signal is JBA in S8/9 noise level and I can`t copy accurately all the callsigns even tho spoken fonetikaly. Some called were in Beckham County, Pontotoc County. Several do not reply. Best signal comes from Bill, WSPV700 in Durant. NCS seemed to be WNBE830. Someone referred to the NCS as Brianna [sp?]. She closes the net at 1509, but then a call from WPFY721? See my previous logs on Oct 1, Dec 3, 10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 95.1, Jan 7 circa 2020, the lowpower FM transmitter in downtown Enid is still on air, and not dead right now, playing pop music, not Xmasmx; mono sound despite $ tereo pilot. The weaker one on 93.1 remains deadair (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Jan 7 at 2257, NO signal from REE into Georgia SDR, just in time to miss weekly token English at 2300 which was missing Dec 24 & 31 due to holiday celebrations! 17715 for SAm is JBA altho in warmer months could be sufficient. That leaves 12030 for ME off the back as our best choice, but it`s insufficient at S7/S9. Could at least make out opening indeed in English; oh well (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.002, Wed Jan 7 at 2259, VOT IS & ID, 2300 opening English not off the air, S9+25 into UTwente. And S9+15/30 at 2323 into Georgia SDR, as `Letterbox` is now being repeated from Sunday, but once again tuned in too late, missing first few minutes. Ends at 2330. Recheck at 2355, already in IS but mixing with ChiCom music at almost equal level, unusual, making SAH of about 5 Hz. 2356 restart IS with German IDs and still on at 2400 mixing timesignals, opening German mixing with ChiCom anthem, and still German past 2406. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2328 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday January 7 at 2058 the 2030 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 3975, S7/9+10 into recommended Bedford UK SDR, inaudible at UTwente. Also confirmed Wednesday January 7 at 2207 the 2200 on WBCQ 7490 -35 Hz = 7489.965, calibration accurate vs WWV 10000.000, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR.

Re 870.56, the het against WWL I logged Jan 6 at 0750, some coincidental reports; I did not hear the `tone` on the minus side as well, but on IRCA list: ``870 tone --- CHRISTOPHER DUNNE Jan 6 #51455 --- 870 — must be Cuba, the former wobbler? Heavy tone, and at my QTH it seems to be overtaking WWL.`` Reply: ``Mike Westfall Jan 6 #51466 --- Yes, strange tone on 870 last night (around 0300 when I checked). Sidebands measured at approx 869.459 and 870.547`` {EST? If so that`s 0800 UT -- gh} Mike Westfall, N6KUY "Mesa Mike", FM07su, Fluvanna County, VA, SDRPlay RSPdx-R2, 21'×70' KAZ antenna, beam 160°, null 340°, My DX Logbooks: http://mesamike.org/radio/dxlogbook/main.mvc?account=mikew `` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 15848-15902 approx., Jan 7 at 1548, multi-carrier, multi-tones beating against each other, peaking S7 amid.
