** CUBA. 11880 and weaker windhowly 15140, Jan 26 at 2005, RHC in
English instead of dead air! into Knoxville SDR. Did not check
yesterday, but Terry Krueger, NW FL, tells me:

``RHC in English at local level and great audio today. That’s been the
standard for awhile, mornings in Spanish on 11760 until flipping later
to 11880. But today - 25 January - in English from 2000 GMT (after a
half hour of Haitian Kreyol). But the “wow” is they played several
tracks by a radical politically-charged black US band from the late
1960-1970s, The Last Poets. Credited as the beginning of rap. A stern
warning in advance announced, the lyrics. And there it was. Loads of
the words N***** and and F*** dropped`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 570, Jan 26 at 0532, Spanish YL talk dominating instead of
KLIF or anything in English. At 0602, Mexican NA is playing,
kid-choral ``full`` version which means when you think it`s over,
another verse plays. Finally finishes at 0604* and cuts OFF the air,
uncovering algo in English. IRCA Mexican Log`s frequency list at the
bottom has info about NA handlings:

``570 XEBJB NL SAN NICOLAS DE LOS GARZA CST Full (4:40) children's
choral just before or after 6 am. Full (4:40) children's choral just
before or after Midnight. 81-8125-3500 (None) LIVE

570 XEOA OAX OAXACA CST Choral (full - presumably children's) about
5:57 am. Children's choral (full 4:40) about 5 minutes before
Midnight. 52 951 513 5740, 52 800 212 95``

There are two other 570s, one of which ``silent``, XELQ Morelia Mich.
and XETD Tecuala Nayarit, unlikely compared to the others. Very likely
XEBJB near Monterrey NL. But XEBJB and XEOA are supposedly 24 hours
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 660, Jan 26 at 0605, kid-choral NA is playing, until 0609
finally full ID as 92.1 & 660 in Monterrey, ``ABC Deportes, sabemos
cómo se juega``, immediately into song in English, ``Young Girl`` --
really a beautiful song, and I suppose originally no problem with the
lyrix, but listen to them now, could be Jeffrey Epstein`s lament of a
pedophile!

``Song by Gary Puckett & The Union Gap ‧ 1968:
Young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl...``
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=wdpJFWwNbGk

And 0613, ``Esto es ABC Deportes`` BTW, this 660, XEFZ, tho 1 kW
night, is the regular Mexican heard, not 10 kW XEEY Aguascalientes2
which I used to get, let alone 10 kW XEDTL CDMX, nominal night powers
in WRTH 2026 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. Reply to my RNZP 9700 log last time: ``Hi Glenn, RNZP
are having problems with one of the 50 KW transmitters they normally
use for DRM into the Pacific Islands and are having to use the other
for best purposes to cover the islands. Nothing is wrecked at the
station. One should remember RNZP is there to provide radio services
to the Southern Pacific, not Trump Land. Cheers,

``Hi Ken, I am well aware we are not a target of RNZP. My complaint
was that it was not following its own posted sked, or vice versa.
Perhaps `wrecked` was a bit too strong, as I struggled for some
alliteration other than `wrong` - I have also criticized US and other
stations for not following own schedule correctly. BTW, most of US is
*not* Trumpland. 73, Glenn``

Now another check, Jan 26 at 1514: no signal on 9700, but JBA on 7390
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1300 kHz, Jan 26 at 0535 UT, ``Real Talk``. No stations
named this in NRC AM Log, so I try WTFDA FMDB for any R-T station with
a connexion to 1300 as a ``relay of`` - again no hits. Broad search on
slogan and frequency lead to: KAKC Tulsa! Whose primary slogan is
``The Patriot``. Day pattern barely reaches Enid on fringe contour,
but night pattern has deep notch thisaway, so suspect day pattern
and/or power. U4 5/1 kW (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. 5850, Jan 26 at 0526, this WRMI continues to be AWOL, but
5950 has been extended and with huge S9+50 signal that 5850 used to
enjoy. I think that 5950 is now on the 315 antenna that 5850 had used,
but is it the WRMI-12 transmitter which had been on 5850, or the
WRMI-8 as shown for 5950 at 355 degrees? Programming now on 5950,
weaker 7730 & 7780 is S Asian? violin? music. Other WRMI fqs? 7570 off
and nothing heard on 9395.

5950 further monitoring: at 0614 operatic solos with piano
accompaniment, 0628 outro in English crediting Bamberg Symphony, and
0629 Prague outro via WRN, 0630 into Slovakia in English via WRN,
`Listeners Tribune` part 2 music, not really a mailbag. System H sked
shows on UT Mon & Tue only at 0600-0630, R. Prague International, i.e.
English on 15770, not 5950! And then at 0630-0700 daily, Slovakia in
Spanish, not English, on 15770, not 5950! Note that at 0629/0630
transition, both are coming via WRN, and the System E sked shows WRN
relay on 5950 and several other frequencies. On 5950 at 0730 it`s WRN
Deutsche Welle in English, starting `Living Planet` // 7780 only.

Tony Pavick reports: ``While not weather related, unlike the previous
week and as well as with WWCR and WTWW, WRMI suffered its own ring of
hell last night as 5850 was extremely unstable. As early as 0200 UT
the carrier on 5850 was repeatedly dropping. Reports I saw said that
Jeff was returning from HFCC and was notified whilst en route during a
stopover in Hawaii. It seems that all 5850 programming has been
shifted to 5950 after 0500 UT. 5950 is still on the air at 1230 UT``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5920, Jan 26 at 0524, TOMBS on WTWW S9+20/30 but with big
hum and distortion, suptorted, still so at 0730. Probably caused by
ice storm circa Lebanon. George said it was hard to get to the site.
By 1539, 9930 is S9+25/35 with OK modulation. Wolfgang Bueschel also
reported Jan 26:

``5919.988 USA WTWW Lebanon TN – much annoying TERRIBLE BUZZ tone
covered signal. S=9 at 0633 UT, 5915.4 to 5924.6 kHz freq range ist
covered by 78 (!) x 60 Hertze strings ... 120, 180, 240 ... Hertz
either sideband – TERRIBLE BUZZ tone!`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5935 & 4840, Jan 26 at 0525, both WWCRs are OFF, during
icestorm in Nashville. More about this, nothing specific, SW not
alluded, via Mike Terry:

``Nine USA Radio Stations Off-Air After Winter Storm Cuts Across The
Country.
FCC January 26 2026

The monster winter storm that cut across the country over the weekend
has left at least nine radio stations off the air. The Federal
Communications Commission reports eight FMs and one AM station are out
of service. The count, gathered from submissions to the Disaster
Information Reporting System (DIRS) did not identify the stations or
their locations.

The storm left a glace of ice across the mid-Atlantic and South,
bringing down power lines which likely left many stations without
backup generators without any electricity with which to remain on the
air...``
