** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Mon Feb 23 at 2300, WRMI in Chinese,
eventually mentioning RAE and pronouncing mail/website in English
letters. VG signal for some Chinese porteño in deep North America. Or
maybe they hope this 315 degree/NW beam from Okee will carry on to
China. But my globe shows Peking is about 342 from Okee (Glenn Hauser,

** CUBA [and non]. 11760, Feb 24 at 0754, RHC still on at S9+20 in

whilst 15140, the usual howler at this hour, is off; SAWA. R. Martí
compensates for this by deadairing on 15380 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Feb 24 at 1951, RHC Kriyol good S9+20 into Georgia
SDR, barely audible under windhowl on S9+10/15 15140. Modulation cut
incomplete at 1954 on 11880, dead air carrier stays on, no English

** U S A. ``Regarding the open carrier on 6938 -- a possible clue as
to what it might be. I was monitoring 43 metres last night and caught
an unid pirate on 6935 USB at 0251 UT. Fairly weak signal with music
and voice only occasionally breaking through the noise.

At 0303 I noticed a carrier on 6938 with a short bit of CW. At first I
thought this was related to the jamming cat and mouse game against
Band-Aid Radio that shifted between 6940 and 6960 between 0230 and
0330, but remembered that I usually do see this carrier there most
nights

I'm rubbish at trying to decode CW, and I think I was getting like
02XPYTR out of it -- but other ears might be better --- go to about
11:30 into the clip:

``Can play at 0.5 speed - it`s WO2XPY - looks like a USA experimental
callsign. Glenn``

``Thank you Glenn. According to this post:
https://groups.io/g/HDXCC/topic/112904029

`RCA Telecom has added a third transmission site to WO2XPY in West
Chicago. It comprises a 10 kW amplifier, three Yagi antennas including
this one, plus this log-periodic array.

“Grant of this application will serve the public interest because it
will allow RCA to determine maximum efficient use of HF spectrum as it
works toward developing a system for commercial use,” the company told
the FCC.

(FCC rules do not permit commercial shortwave data transmission to
foreign points. The Commission is still chewing on a Shortwave
Modernization Coalition petition to allocate some HF frequencies to
this purpose. See ERN #9.)

WO2XPY is authorized to use 14 bands between 6 and 29 MHz. Running
more than 246 kW ERP in 14.35‒14.99 MHz – just above the 20-meter
Amateur Radio band – it is “not capable of transmitting station
identification,” RCA told the FCC. The Commission waived the station
ID rule, as it typically does on request.` Tony``

``That carrier is often there and very strong in Masset. So strong
that I thought it was something local. Virtually always an OC only.

NOTE! I see that the WRMI System L skedgrid has just been updated as
of today! Feb 23, 2026, with a new airing of WOR: UT Friday 0030 on
5950. That will become Thursday 2330 once DST be imposed; just before

it done a bit earlier, might upload in time to get this on air ASAP
rather than first at 1300 Friday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Georgia SDR.

17790, Feb 24 at 1544, JBA carrier direct, Romania instead of WRMI?
But 1702 into Maryland SDR, 17790 is on with gospel singing and
instrumentals, rather pleasant fill until gospel huxter near
Walterboro starts at 1715, S7; while `Brasila` SDR where it`s aimed
gets only a trace of a carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

almost Enid, but major lobe to SSW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1070 kHz, Feb 24 at 0746 UT, `Scott Jennings show`. See
previous log connecting it to KNTH Houston, but not at this hour. In
the continued absence of KFTI Wichita, suspect it`s KHMO Hannibal MO,
IDed previously. But on its sked at 12-3 am CST is the Charlie Kirk
Show, and I understand that he is no longer available. KHMO is a Salem
affiliate, so perhaps Jennings has replaced Kirk but sked not yet
updated. There are a few other SRN affils on 1070 in NRC AM Log, all
less likely than KHMO. I`ve asked KHMO if it`s them (Glenn Hauser, OK,

Also confirmed Saturday February 21 at 1700 on WRN via WRMI 7730,
S6/S8 into Miramar FL SDR, which gets this better than other remotes,
presumably groundwave altho not real close. As usual, FSN via WRN
chopped short for WRMI ID just before 1700.

But NOT confirmed Saturday February 21 at 1700 on WRN via WRMI 9395,
since 9395 is OFF the air! This will mean three more WORings will also
be missed today. Nothing explained about this on WRMI FB.

Confirmed Saturday February 21 at 2030 on SW Radio Gold, Germany,
3975.000+, S8/S9 into UTwente.

Confirmed Saturday February 21 from 2035 the 2030v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM,
MO, S7.5 into nearby N0WQ remote.

NOT confirmed on WRMI 9395 Sat Feb 21 at 2030, 2100 or 2200, as this
transmitter continues OFF the air, checked into several remotes and
direct. Around 2112 on the N9AZZ Cartersville IL remote waterfall, I
see and then hear cutting on & off, a local? station with commercials,
approx. 9341.5.

Not confirmed Saturday February 21 at 2230 on WRMI 17790, because this
is also off the air like 9395; maybe all day, not checked earlier.

Confirmed Saturday February 21 at 2230 on WRMI 15770, S7/S8 into

Also confirmed UT Sunday February 22 at 0406 about 8 minutes into, so

WVLK`` - i.e., Lexington KY. Now it`s dominant on E/W LW, while it was
not to be heard at 0600 when KLBJ was incoming. All ears on 590 since
KXSP Omaha is off. WVLK is U4 5/1 kW. Night pattern

** U S A. 1700 kHz, Feb 22 at 0049 UT, ``Jalapeño Radio Network 95.7
FM`` ID in English, then Spanish music. Surely KKLF Richardson TX,
which had been reported as Spanish religion instead. This is a very
confusing situation. The main(?) R. Jalapeño is 1540 KEDA in San
Antonio, which has FM on 99.9, really a mere translator; NRC AM Log
shows 1700 KKLF Richardson with an address in far Corpus Christi. Of
the 13 Texans on 95.7, WTFDA FMDB has none in the DFW area, nor any
called Jalapeño. But radio-locator says: ``KKLF-AM also broadcasts its
primary channel from this additional transmitter K239DA 95.7 FM
Richardson, TX (60 watts). Ahá, WTFDA has it on 95.3!! ``K239DA relay
of:KKLF 1700 95.3 RICHARDSON TX TEJANO KICK 1700 202666 0.06 0.06 99.0
0.0 32-45-53 96-52-25`` - Guess what: channel 239 *is* 95.7, not 95.3
which is 237 - and the `Kick 1700` slogan has got to be wrong or at
least outdated. I sent this correxion to WTFDA already, and now is
correctly on 95.7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 590 kHz, Feb 22 at 0600 UT, in absence of KXSP Omaha
right after KLBJ ID, another station mentions 91.7. WTFDA FM Database
does not show any 91.7 relaying a 590, and NRC AM Log does not show
any non-commercial on 590; but possibly a gospel huxter might have
such a correlation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

nothing but Argentine music, with canned multi-lingual ID reels
repeated several times, 2325, 2336, 2341, 2352. Never any `live`
announcements about the music or anything else, nor at closing, right
into WRMI ID at 2359; so we can`t know what single language this might
have been intended. The RAE gridblock at WRMI is totally wrong,
claiming it`s Portugués [sic] M-F 2300-0000 on 7570 & 9955 - NOT.
