** MEXICO. 610, Jan 24 at 0734, Spanish atop Kansas City, mentions
``complacencias -- Santa Rosalía``, i.e. requests from town on east
coast of BCS, not too far from XEGS, Guasave, Sinaloa, across the Sea
of Cortez, so maybe that`s it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 23 at 2301, VOT English not off the air, S7/S9
into Knoxville SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2331 monitoring: confirmed Friday
January 23 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, S9+25 into Knoxville SDR, immediately
following a show playing ``California Dreamin`, on a Winter`s Day...``
which closes with its own WRMI ID; that would be `OTH Radio`.

Also confirmed Friday January 23 at 2330 on SW Radio Gold, Germany,
3975, S7/S9 JBA into Noale, Italy SDR, but not into UTwente, Bedford
or Carlow!

Not confirmed UT Sat Jan 24 at 0400 on WTWW 5085, still off the air as
George advised me earlier: he had found a lot of melted wires in that
transmitter...

Confirmed Saturday January 24 at 1556 the 1530 on SW Radio Gold,

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5950, Jan 24 at 0748, surprised this WRMI-8 be on, supposed
to close at 0500 after System L. Now S9+30, and also unusually
stronger than // 5850! // also // 7570, 7780, discussion in English
about nature, presumably WRN relay during Deutsche Welle. However, the
always contradictory System E sked does show WRN on 5950 // those and
several others not really on air at 07-08 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, UT Sat Jan 24 at 0056: NH SDR
busy so I try K1VL Vermont: 5130 -43 Hz but calibration not checked,
is on with IS & ID loop, not much else, so I audition the (7490)
stream. No disclaimer about a repeat but from 0100 during `WTO` theme,
Allan starts with ``OK, OK... need the shortwave radio more than ever
now``, and single exclamation ``hope``. So it`s obviously a repeat of
last week`s show, never mind (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1040 kHz, Jan 24 at 0726 UT, no bigsig from usual WHO Des
Moines; is it off? Others were making the same inquiry. However, I
finally detect C2CAM JBA // KTOK, KGWA et al., and WHO is the only C2C
on 1040 per NRC AM Log. It may be drastically underpowered; and/or
auroral condx with other northerly signals much attenuated like 890 &
780 Chicago; 1110 KFAB Omaha also weaker than usual. But see unID 1460
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1650 kHz, Jan 24 at 0719 UT, continuous tone of about 320
Hz, i.e. ``carriers`` peaking plus and minus 320 from 1650.000, not a
het from elsewhere, and still at 0755 over algo in English. Looks like
KSVE El Paso TX is back to its old trix of toning all-night instead of
deporting. Last previous log in 2025y: ``1650, April 16 at 0618 UT,
continuous tone matching keyboard at D# = 311 Hz, presumed overnight
filler by KSVE El Paso`` Several later logs of other 1650s mentioned
no tone then (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1460, Jan 24 at 0724 UT, S9+35 open carrier atop a weak
C&W station. Most likely usual dominator, KXNO Des Moines IA which is
5 kW at night and direxional thisaway. Or KHOJ St Charles MO also
thisaway but 12000/210 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL [and non]. 5939.48, Jan 23 at 0720, R. Voz Missionária on
its signature off-frequency, S7/S8 JBA tnx to attenuated so not a
problem 5935 WWCR only S9+5/20. Nothing propagating on RVM`s 9665v or
11755v. Rudolf Grimm reports: Mr. Alvaro Barcelos (engineer /
technician at Radio Voz Missionária) recently informed that the 5940
kHz transmitter / antenna system has been technically revised, now
powered by 10 kW resulting in stronger signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, Jan 23 at 0716, HK3QQ, with his always loop of
letters in keyboard order including some errors, as I have detailed
before. Often audible but not relogged. Now however, it`s notable
because I`m getting this after finding ZERO signals on the 9 MHz
broadcast band! If there were ANY around Colombia they would be
audible too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 1309.67, Jan 23 at 0757 UT, JBA carrier hetting 1310.00
signals. Mwoffsets has a neat hit and nothing else nearby: ``1310
1309,676 CLM Voz de la Patria Celestial (Barranquilla) [range:
-1309.68] measured on 2024-02-03``.
Speaking of Bqa, also had just noted again HJAT deviant on 1100.29
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Jan 23 at 2106, RHC manages to under-modulate, in
French, S9+10/20 direct, // 15140 S9/9 with windhowl. Was preceding
hour dead air as usual in English? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 8992 USB, Jan 23 at 1522-1524+, USAF crypto exercise from
``Space Run`` - tactical ID sounded like. Full fonetik message,
repeated with internal noise burst QRM: D5JKXXWUVHYATFAO3HNO7OMFV3U -
the circular symbols are Oscars, not zeroes.

8992 USB, Jan 23 at 2107-2111* caught another one in progress from
``Base Run``: 7LCEG4, then that starts the whole message+
TLFGIXXSIAS67W6CNIZVOURP - maybe the previous one were also Base Run?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2331 monitoring: missed checking
Friday January 23 at 1300 on WRMI 15770; anyone hear it?

Confirmed Friday January 23 at 2157 the 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,

** U S A. 1350 kHz, Jan 22 at 0737 UT, Spanglish ``favoritos en KSDN?

Suspect really on ND day pattern. It was KCOR during my stay in San
