** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Mon Jan 26 at 2312, RAE S9+20/30 via WRMI in
Spanish, not Portuguese, as usually heard and still scheduled at
2300-2400 on the RAE skedgrid which is not labeled System A - why not?
on 7570 & 9955 instead. 7570 is really off and 9955 is Wavescan! The
System D sked does show 9455 with RAE PP on Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri only. So
will there be 3-year-old Portuguese DX olds again after 2300 Tuesday
on 9455? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 28170 CW, Jan 26 at 2250, VVV DE VA3XCD/B. WGB list:

** CANADA. 28350 USB, Jan 26 at 2253, VE3EVQ ID, taking a break, back

alternate/additional call of sameham: ``VA3UU Canada flag Canada, Jack
Coleman, P.O. BOX 15, LEASKDALE, ON L0C 1C0, Canada`` - Leaskdale
is between Lake Simcoe and Oshawa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Jan 26 at 2110, RHC has continued modulating French
after English, but suddenly stops at 2116, carrier off? or back on
with dead air only; while inferior windhowly 15140 has continued
Frenching. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Jan 26 at 2307, RHC in Spanish S9+10/20 with windhowl,
// 11880 VG and clear S9+10/20 when tuned in USB mode, S9+20/30 in AM

** NORTH AMERICA. 9974.96 USB, Jan 26 at 2032, continuous music sounds
best slightly downtuned from 9975.00 via Knoxville SDR, S5/S7 but JBA
direct; tnx to tip from Eric Fetters-Walp / Lake Stevens, Washington:
``Pirate station Mix Radio International is currently playing a mix of
techno music and smooth jazz up on 9975 USB as of 1950 UTC. It's been
on since well before 1900. I'm not hearing it directly out west here,
but it's coming in well at many of the East Coast SDRs.``

Kept on running and I never hear any announcements, at chex; 2128,
2200, 2223; by 2322 direct it`s S9/+10, still going past 0110 UT Jan
27! By 0140 fading down and gone or off by 0150. Many more reports
here starting at 1830:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,157683.0.html
but no reports later than 2350! Zach Liangas says it was audible into
some Euro remotes at 2308 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, Jan 26 at 2308, REE ME frequency, S7/S9 dead air just
as it was Jan 21 - so again, or eversince? Is nobody paying attention
at Noblejas? 9690 with music S9+20/30, 17715 S9 = high noise level,
17755 JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.002+, Jan 26 at 2259, VOT not off the air, but JBA
direct and 2300 timesignal. At 2351 into UTwente when measured,
S9+20/30 s/off as if it`s the 1330 on 13635, something`s always awry
at Ankara, 2352 IS once and off* failing to continue extraneously with
German (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2331 monitoring: confirmed Monday
January 26 at 2030 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 3975.001, S7/S9 into
UTwente.

Andy at the station explains why WOR did not appear Sat Jan 24 at
2030: ``Hi Glenn, sorry for getting back to you late. I was kicked out
by a severe cold during the weekend, and stayed in bed most of the
time. Well, you are right on your observations. I just checked the
3975 log file for Saturday. I guess because of the cold I used the
previous' Saturday totally forgetting DARC is now at 2h. Before it was
at 1 hour, followed by 'Andy Peters Show'. This is what you exactly
listened to. All the other programming was one hour late, including
yours - aired at 2130 UT. I fixed this right now, so it will not happen
the next weeks. Andy``

** U S A. 15770 // 17790, Jan 26 at 2258 as usual these WRMIs are // -
in French? No, I think it`s English with heavy French accent vs lots
of background noise, in airplane? WRMI skedgrids are totally
confusing. In top xmtr grid, both WRMI-7 on 17790 and WRMI-9 on 15770
with System H, R. Prague International, i.e. English. But System H
sked itself shows RPI, M-F at 2230-2300 on 15770 & 7730, not
17790. 17790 is found instead on the System E grid at 2200-2400 with
WRN. At 2300 the two split, into Prague in French on 17790, and
into Poland in English on 15770. At 2304 I find 5850 back on air after
absent yesterday, with French // 17790. But the System H sked claims
at 2300-2330, RPI in French on 5850 & 7730.

BTW, all the Systems, despite countless changes, still bear an
effective date of March 10, *2024*, except: E July 1, 2025; K Dec 23,
2025; L Nov 14, 2025. See also ARGENTINA [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. 9955, Mon Jan 26 at 2316 amid `Wavescan` on WRMI, Jeff is
interviewing someone who has visited Pyongyang and elsewhere in Korea
North observing what can be heard on radios there. There are about 3
dozen other chances to hear WS each week on WRMI and some other SW
stations, as in our DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. WWCRs still OFF the air, Jan 26 at 2038: no 13845 or 12160;
and at 2302, no 13845, 9350, 7520. At 0115 and 0254, no 5935, 5890 or
4840. Prop OK as neighbor WTWW is on 9930, then 5920. Severe ice storm
damage at WWCR? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
