** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Fri Jan 30 at 2305, on Maryland SDR S9+25, I
tune in late to WRMI with RAE relay in Portuguese, as `Atualidade DX`
is already in progress. BTW, why is this aimed at Oklahoma instead of
Brasil? I`ve previously caught it on a Friday as well as a Tuesday. I
recognize some of the DX `news` items as heard before from them, but
not the same as earlier this week. Mali on 5995, Kyrgyzstan on 4010,
Sri Lanka 125 kW in Bengali at 0030-0230, 11905 at 1630-1830 on 11750
in Sinhala --- both of which have been OFF SW for quite some time.
Also gave email addresses to contact each station. 2307 some other
media news, like the AER website for SW skeds; CNN Argentina on FM in
General Roca, something about cell phones in Perú. Venezuela, thousand
layoffs at stations? And credits DX.com.ar and Arnaldo Slaen. Later I
try that website and get this: titled ``Acceso Extranet`` but nothing
on the page except fields for user name and password to log in, no
further info about what it is or how to get them. Another browser
warns: ``Website blocked due to riskware -- because it may contain
malicious activity.``!! Finally plugging an upcoming DX meeting in
Pernambuco on Fri/Sat/Sun March 10-11-12 --- that can`t be 2026! and
then they let slip that it`ll be in **2023**!!! So another 3-year-old
DX olds program from RAE. Don`t you believe it. NÃO ACREDITE NISSO.
BTW, I have no quarrel with respected DXer Arnaldo: he may have
nothing to do with RAE re-broadcasting such outdated stuff from him. I
hope he be aware of this, at least from my observations (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Jan 31 at 1545, S6/S8 deadair, must be RHC. But the
usual 15140 & 11760 are absent, not 11880 either. All RHC frequencies
were absent Jan 30 afternoon, but I didn`t get around to checking
further into UT Jan 31, nor the CRI relays like 13650, 5990. Anyone
notice whether on or not? At 1956 check no RHC frequencies audible
even with dead air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17715, Jan 31 at 1958, REE S9+20 direct tho supposedly for S
America, while there are little or no signals on 9690 to N Am, 12030
ME, 17755 Af - but it`s just a silly ballgame apparently from the
excessive enthusiasm (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 30 at 2320, VOT English not off the air, Efsun
speaking JBA into Maryland SDR, S8/9+20 into UTwente (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 344 MCW kHz, Jan 31 at 0720 UT, JL mixing with OA? No, it
must be JA. Axually tuned to 342 USB. JL Joplin MO, and JA Jaxonville
FL 400 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 323 MCW kHz, Jan 31 at 0719 UT, ND beacon OUK is JBA, new
one for me. Classaxe RNA list: CalhOUn GA, 24 watts, supposedly
decommissioned in 2019 but still transmitting, last report 2026-01-18.
Calhoun is in NW GA, just south of Dalton along I-75 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2332 monitoring: confirmed Friday
January 30 at 2302 the2300 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/20 into Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed Friday January 30 at 2352 the 2330 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, 3975.002, S7/S8 JBA into UTwente.

Not confirmed UT Sat Jan 31 at 0400 on WTWW 5085, as it remains
totally off the air. However I was informed that 2332 was ready to
play should it be on.

Confirmed Saturday January 31 at 1553 the 1530 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, into UTwente: 3975.001 S8/S9 and 6160.001+ S9/+10.

Also confirmed Saturday January 31 at 1630 on WRMI 9955, S9/+20 into
Knoxville SDR.

Also confirmed Saturday January 31 at 1700 on WRN via WRMI 9395,
S7/9+10 into Knoxville SDR; rough start again, ``Welcome to
Encore...`` before pause and play WOR.

Also confirmed Saturday January 31 at 1718 the 1700 on WRN via WRMI
7730, S7/S8 into Miramar FL SDR - after NO signal direct nor into
several other remotes in SE USA. 7730 is always VP if not JBA here to
the NW as it`s aimed NE; but so is 15770, easily heard. Is Miramar
getting 7730 by direct/groundwave? Approx. distance 149 km = 93 miles
to the SSE of Okee. It`s surely too clear and loud to be backscatter.

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, UT Sat Jan 31 at 0055, via
Maryland, Vermont SDRs, NO signals on 3265, 5130, 6160, 9330, ONLY on
7490. Still so at 0126 check. FKB`s tone cue wrapup warning comes not
a minute, but half a minute before 0100:00, so he is chopped for
canned ID before he can finish his contact info. NO advisory that
following aired originally, but it *is* a rerun of UT Jan 10, since
Allan talx over theme at first, ``Absolutely amazing this radio thing
that we do...`` and single-word exclamation later, ``blaze``? Never
mind; see my report of that date (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (12160), Sat Jan 31 at 1800, this WWCR remains off the air,
and also 13845, but stream is working for WWCR-2 with the `Talking
[sic] Machine Show` of ancient music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 6010, Jan 30 at 0725, Spanish S7/S8, so it`s LV de tu
Conciencia, not R. Inconfidência, Brasil also on 6010. I don`t think
it`s really on the air overnight, so if not sure of language don`t
assume it`s Brasil at this hour. However, EiBi shows Brasil 24h and
slightly offset to 6010.1; Colombia ``test`` at 2200-1000. Aoki also
shows Brasil 24h, but totally misses Colombia, instead on 6010 the
imaginary XEOI México which has been gone for years. WRTH 2026 also
has Brasil 24h (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Jan 30 at 0726, R. Rebelde is off now tho often on and
even modulating. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 5995, Jan 30 at 0724, African music and French?, S8/S9,
better than usual this late. Bamako sunrise now at its latest during

summer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 550, Jan 30 at 0733, romantic song in Spanish, unusual on
this frequency; as I tune in, fades up better with full ID including
street address, and 25 kW on 91.3, in Ciudad Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua.
Interesting background info in the IRCA Mexican Log:

Staying on AM per IFT. Active
on AM as of 2/25 (logged by DXer), but may be operating
intermittently. Station confirmed 7/23 that the AM was on. German
Mennonite and native language programs in the evenings. During this
programming they sometimes give five 800 Hz time pips shortly after
the top of the hour. The current (8/20) schedule on the station's web
site lists a broadcast day of 1100-0800, with Mennonite programming in
the evenings (6:50pm-11pm local time). Still included in 7/25 IFT
list`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

replies:
``Just 5 minutes before reading your email I found a relog of WWBA on
this year's Border Inn recordings. At the time of my DXpedition (end
of October), they had just renewed their STA for U1 2000/200 at the
site of co-owned WHBO-1040. They've had this STA for years so I would
bet it is still in effect. Both WWBA-820 and WHBO-1040 (which also has
had a low-power STA for several years) get out surprisingly well. I
have to wonder if both stations might be running their non-directional
STA day powers all night. 73 Tim`` Hard for me to believe this be only

and synch with 15565 S9+20/30, on two receiver, NRD-545 and DX-398.
I`m standing by for the ~1600 transition from Amharic to Swahili, and
for 13830 to switch from SMG to MADAGASCAR relay, making them out of
synch. At 1559 ID, ``LIX`` and IS. At 1559.5, 13830 cuts off and soon
comes back much weaker S8/S9 with a delay. But 15565 also suddenly
weakens tho no break perceived. It switches antenna beam slightly from
139 to 149 degrees which should not make that much difference (Glenn

watts, and group The Big 8, which consist of those three frequencies,
with W252DF on 98.3 and W244EG on 96.7. It`s certainly not just 230 or

** CANADA. 346 MCW kHz, Jan 28 at 0725 UT, dash and YXL, 500-watt NDB
at Sioux Lookout ON, had not been audible for several nights with
northerly propagation suppressed. It`s my #1 Canadian, but now two
slightly weakers are also JBA:

351 MCW kHz, Jan 28 at 0727 UT, dash and YKQ, 500 watts at
Waskaganish, the only QC I sometimes get, and:

382 MCW kHz, Jan 28 at 0729 UT, dash and YPL, 1000 watts at Pickle
Lake ON (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. 1190, Jan 28 at 0733 UT, ``AM 1190`` non-ID and
weather, lo -21 and hi -14. Wow, really deepfreeze, must be northerly.
NRC AM Log shows only station on 1190 deliberately IDing that way is
CFSL, Weyburn SK, U2 10/5 kW. Temps are not as bad as if they were F
instead of C, and closely match forecast for Weyburn. Supposedly
nothing but northward at night, don`t you believe it. I was checking
1190 for anything in Spanish as ``La Ley`` which someone asked me to
ID, nonesuch listed in US or Mexico (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [non]. See MALI

** CUBA. 6000, Jan 28 at 0237, S9+40 of dead air in English? from RHC
where something`s always wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 9700, Jan 28 at 0231, S7/S9 sounds JBM, in Spanish.
What`s really happening, I think: RHC with dead air, atop much weaker
CRI in Spanish making a SAH, as scheduled via Kashgar, East Turkistan
at 00-03, and seems // 9590, Commies vs Commies! (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Jan 28 at 1939, RHC in Kriyol, S8/S9 undermodulated,
also 15140 S9 vs windhowl. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 13630, Jan 28 at 2125, discussion in American English, so
must be CRI relay, S3 direct. Stops at 2130 interrupting discussion
and after a brief pause resumes with CRI IS and opening French. This
is deliberate, not a mistake. All English broadcasts last an hour and
start at top of hour, but gotta get French on when it start. HFCC
shows continuous 1930-2230 for CIRAF 53, 100 kW at 111 degrees; first
semihour in Portuguese, last hour in French (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 5140 USB, Wed Jan 28 at *1500, another weekly
Oklahoma Security Net, opened by YL WSHM692, counting 12345, 54321.
Her signal and others quite weak, and altho calls uttered fonetikaly,
not sure I have copied all accurately. Compare to last weeks Jan 21 &
14 and previous log reports. After above call, she mentions once one
other, personal? Like KMYU4JS?? Rollcall:
WQYW443 Beckham County;
WQZT582 Broken Arrow, answered;
WQSY836 where? Byng per Don Moore;
WNPV700 Durant, answered;
WQYW883 Moore, answered JBA;
WNUW215 Ponca City;
KNGR728 Pontotoc County; Don Moore had this in Rush Springs, different
non-adjacent county;
WPFY721 Seminole, Ernie answers to Brendah?;
WNBM839 Stillwater, answered;
WNCH624 Tulsa;
WNBE830 Jefferson City MO, answered.

Completed at 1507 till next week; any others? At 1508, WPFY721
contacts WNBE830. This was all totally routine, despite seeming
`emergency` ice/storm conditions. Only today with temp to exceed
freezing might we venture out, but decide streets are still too
hazardous. Enid got 11.5 inches of snow, plus/minus depending on
source, but not freezing rain and never any power outages for us
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, Wed Jan 28 at 2302, REE dead air at S7/9+10 into
Maryland SDR, the ME channel still defective, no one noticing at
Noblejas??? Fortunately, we don`t need it as the 9690 for N America is
funxional for weekly token English, S9+5/20. 17715 is JBA, 17755
JJBBA. I listen to the first third, when the guy is mainly speaking
with his heavy accent: at least we cannot doubt we are listening to
Spain. Some of his misprons: ``colleeded, creesis, launch`ed, fattal
shooting``. Annoying continuous musical background, and too many long
Spanish clips during the `English` news. If we understand that, we
don`t need the English, and if we don`t understand it, we don`t need
the Spanish! After domestic and international news, 2320 about cinema
and TV awards (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.002+, Jan 28 at 2257, VOT not off the air IS & ID in
English, S9+25/35 into UTwente. Next check at 2358, already off,
failing to append any extraneous German (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 8992 USB, Jan 28 at 1941, USAF crypto exercise, not bother
to copy details, but ID ``This is Analytic, out`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 13845 & 12160, Jan 28 at 1717 UT, WWCR still off the air, no
signals. Ron Trotto refers us to `Ask WWCR` on website for more info
about the situation; my notes:

It`s the second broadcast in January, till further notice due to the
weather. Four of us are here presently; two stayed overnight. This is
#604, with Brady Murray and Zach. Recorded Saturday 24th when there
are already several inches of snow, with more snow, sleet, freezing
rain expected for 24 hours more. Giant storm across the US. More ice,
rain expected. Reggie and Greg are also in. Don`t want to drive
anywhere. Below freezing for a week or two, not going to thaw. Concern
is ice, bringing down trees, powerlines, extended period without
electricity. At least getting this broadcast done and on website.
Transmitters are water-cooled, so without electricity the cooling
water stops, freezes, damaging transmitters [if on the air]. Plan to
keep everything in good shape as long as we can, with generator,
heaters outside. May run out of supplies.

If delay returning to air, it`s due to weather or could be due to
repairs taking place. Snow is not nearly as bad as ice. Doesn`y take a
lot of ice to damage phone lines, which are a lot like the struxure of
our antennas [rhombix]. Already
even today at 10 am had a transmitter go down, making horrible noise.
Main blower had somehow moved. Engineer Phil has never seen that
happen before, two belts torn up. Phil got it repaired in 45 minutes.
Not clear if weather caused, not very cold inside that building. You
and Reggie did a fair amount of work today, clearing road. Not
expecting anyone, but a broadcaster did come in to record. Two big
trux were about to collide, then came back. Video footage shows almost
nobody driving, just some tractor-trailers, or with plows on front.
Focusing on main roads. In 24 hours expecting final burst of snow,
then bitter cold. As much as 20+ inches of snow predicted. Putting
this out to let folx know, if website still up, long duration storm.

At 11:38 into show, one other topic: Chris got a call saying that 7
MHz frequencies were not performing as usual, but 7490 mornings was
heard in China close to Mongolia, QSLed, SINPO 43444, incredible. 7490
starts about sunrise. Really excited to hear from China. Will sleep on
couch or whatever we have to do. Ask WWCR is a biweekly presentation
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 880, Jan 28 at 0758 UT, Mexmx, 0800 break for ID in English
as KJOZ Conroe-Houston, Latino Broadcasting, back to Mexmx. No mention
of FM. Not religious, at least not now. A few minutes earlier I was
hearing KRVN NE instead on 880, but none of it now (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
