From now and for an unknowntime, at least for 3 years, I will not use any radio except the remote SDRs forDXing. Recently we moved from the village back to the city in a space thatprohibits the use of desktop DXing, a place flooded by high levels of noise inthe LMHF bands. The radio is now used mostly for FM, for news listening.we runpolitically lively condition with always very interesting twits every day ..

Logs
** BOTSWANA. 9774.99, Feb 16 at 0326, music at S6/S8, VOA English
relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [non]. 9790, Feb 16 at 0322, CRI relay via CUBA is as usual
S9+20/40 but JBM - what mod can be heard is distorted. Something`s
always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Feb 16 at 0336, RHC managing to modulate in English,
S9+30, calling for end to blockade, ho hum. Somewhat suptorted but
mostly readable.

As for mailbag show which I was hoping to reconfirm on UT Monday or
Thursday, Chris Campbell, Columbus, Ohio, reports: ``RHC had their
Mailbag on last night, 0347 UT Saturday. I caught it mid program in
which they actually read a letter from me. Since they are back, the
programming has changed around a lot. At 0300 Friday I heard them
playing Music With A Message. It used to be on Saturday nights only.
But I did hear it on Sundays a while back before their last long
break. Regards, Chris`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 9754.96, Feb 16 at 0324, La Voz Alegre ID in passing
and Bible stuff, S6/S8; always off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6924.95 AM, Feb 16 at 0240, pirate with rock music,
still going at 0316. Several ``6925`` logs say it`s Liquid Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,141004.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6917 USB, Feb 16 at 0240, S9+20 of hard rock. 0246 &
0250 seeming jingles but unreadable IDs. 0253 Radio 48 ID. 0255 ``Mix
Radio International on Shortwave``. 0258 ``Radio 48, the station that
dares to be different``. 0301 parody ad for ``Motel Strict`` which
will take care of unruly children. 0304 long string of heavily
produced hyper IDs for Mix Radio International; exhausting just to
listen to, but can`t complain of IDs lacking! 0314-0316* ``closing
down``. Many more logs here, mostly a lot earlier:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,140990.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11529.865 approx., Feb 16 at 0318, ex-Hikari FM with
music at S5/S6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Among the ND beacons audible Feb 16 at 0756-0801 UT, not new
but at extended range:
245, FS, Sioux FallS SD, 400 W
305, RO, ROswell NM, 150 W
356, ODX, Ord NE, 25 W
365, AA, fArgo/hArwood ND, 100 W
379, DL, DuLuth MN, 50 W
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4724 USB, Feb 16 at 0334, US military crypto message
exercise, I say again: starts with ``TROXUY...`` but can`t understand
tactical ID at end, sounds sorta like Hegseth? Out. There were
``scratchy`` sounds thruout rather than echoes (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2282 monitoring: NOT confirmed UT
Sunday Feb 16 at 0100 on WRMI 9955; instead some preacher. WOR is
still on the skedgrid at this time. Once again we have no idea,
without notice, whether this be a temporary or permanent deletion.

Confirmed UT Sunday February 16 starting at 0528 the 0415v on WA0RCR,
1860 AM, MO, with storm crashes from TN & KY, S9+20 into nearby SDR.

1130 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?];

Thanks this week to Michael Rosenbaum who sent a contribution via
PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com in ``Support of WOR editions!``

One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser,
P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 660, Feb 16 at 0805 UT, not KTNN for a change, but local ads
for Fairview, Williston; ``660 K-? weather``, including windchill of
-40; C&W music. That`s KEYZ, Williston ND, U4 5000/5000, ``Keys``.
Believe that`s new for me. Radio-locator shows night pattern major
lobe to NE, minor to SSE; day pattern more circular with notch toward
Omaha (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. UNIDENTIFIED? 680, Feb 16 at 0807 UT, ``Fibber McGee &
Molly`` classic radio episode. CJOB? KFEQ? KKYX? Those are the usuals
heard on 680; format info in NRC AM Log no help as this is likely a
departure from whatever. KFEQ website makes you hunt for plain old
program sked, but here it is:
https://www.680kfeq.com/program-schedule/
Sunday When Radio Was midnight-5:00 am www.whenradiowas.com
However, FMcG&M is not shown for `future` show today or this week:
http://www.radiospirits.com/onradio/wrw_future.asp?source=wrw&pcode=WRW2008
It looks like each program is only one hour, two oldshows, so for five
hours KFEQ must be running an accumulation. FMcG&M is among shows they
are trying to sell when not out of stock (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN [non?]. 15565, Feb 16 at 1533, VR Amharic the SSOB at
S9+25/35 direct, rivaled only by 15150 WMLK at S9+20/25. Same on //
13830 which is also synchronized, S9+20/25, vs USA on 13845 S9+25/30,
13820 S9+20/25.

On both bands, NO other significant signals from Europe. From 1555 I`m
watching and listening to 13830, now only S8/S9, 1557 VR IS weakening
to S7/S8, and 1600 drumming, into Swahili. There was *no* break in
transmission, supposedly switching from SMG to MADAGASCAR; and still
// synch with 15565.

Latest HFCC Feb 13 shows 15565 SMG adjusting beam from 135 to 145 at
1600. Also there was a change Feb 1 vs Jan 31 on 13830:

Until Jan 31, 13830 was from MDC at 1600-1700 in Swahili, Somali,
English; From February 1 all those changed to SMG. 15565 stayed SMG
only. 1530-1600 portion shown as SMG only on both frequencies before
and after Feb. 1.

So I continue to suspect these are both really via Madagascar before
and after 1600. Someone suggested I should ask VR - maybe as a last
resort. So far the evidence is contrary to registrations, listings
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Logs
** OKLAHOMA. 95.1, the Part 15 in Enid is still transmitting in
downtown but after some undermodulated music yesterday, On Feb 14
circa 2045 UT it`s back to dead air.

1670 AM, Virtual DJ Radio, keeps plugging away with rockish music
whenever checked, strongest at US 81/412 junxion (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 105.5, Feb 15 circa 1700 UT on caradio, K288FX Enid is
still off, audiblizing Stillwater`s KGFY [NOT KFGY, my typo]. BTW,
105.5 there was originally KVRO, student station at OSU vs pro KOSU
91.7. KGFY calls started 03/01/89. KGFY address of record is in
Springfield MO! Despite licensee name Stillwater Broadcasting LLC.

91.1, Feb 15 circa 1700 UT on caradio, another Enid station is OFF,
KKRD of Air1. Clears the way for another gospel huxter, talker on
91.3; WTFDA FM DB possibilities:

KAKO Ada OK, 0 Horiz but 100 kW Vertical, AFR, 210 km/131 stmi
KAXR Arkansas City KS 13.5/13.5 kW, also AFR, 106 km/66 stmi
AFR = American Family Radio
KRSO Clinton OK 25/25 kW, no details

However FCC LMS for 91.3 in Clinton shows a CP with NO CALLSIGN! Fac
ID 768299: ``full power`` but no figures, small coverage area. Lic:
Missions Unlimited of Oregon! CP expires 04/08/25; update as of
01/13/25.

As for KKRD, FCC shows it Licensed and Silent! But today is the first
time I have noticed it missing. K288FX also Licensed and Silent! Guess
what, both are at exactly the same NAD83 Coördinates:
36 23' 57.1" N 97 52' 49.2" W
That would be the Broadway Tower, one of four skyscrapers in downtown
Enid, a block away from the 95.1 Tree of Lights. BW Tower is a sad
case, originally an office building including for an uncle of mine,
later vacant and trying to repurpose as hotel but still apparently
shuttered. Now it`s not even funxioning as a broadcast tower. Could be
engineers are having trouble getting into the `penthouse` transmitter
room and roof (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` WBCQ chex, UT Sat Feb 15 at 0051 into Maryland
SDR: 3265, 5130 and 6160 off. 7490 -71 Hz = 7489.929, S9/+20 with FKB;
9330.00 only S9+10 with WLCR in Portuguese. By 0059, 5130.007 is on at
S8/9+5, and 0100 joins 7490- for AAAWWW WTO theme. Talkovers: ``Love
is in the air`` and ``Cupid``; then Happy VD, and Happy WR Day. Last
Saturday he flew from Bangor back to Fla and everyone on the flight
was coughing, hacking and sneezing, so knew he was going to catch
something, which he did with sore throat, nasal, chest and larynx. And
still not feeling well or with good voice. Trimulcasting with 9330 he
says again and this is true. Wants to play love songs, 0111 Love
Potion #9; 0114 trimul on 9, 7 and 5. 0124 says that again, email
invited. Wandering conversation about radio, etc., and tho in same
studio as Angela, we hardly hear her, except when he asks what song
she wants to play next, and she answers to him, not to us. 0139 date
stamp as 14 of Feb. Says keeps WBCQ rates low by eliminating a lot of
people, mostly automated except for 9330 SuperStition which must have
someone running it 24/7, etc., etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810.60, Feb 15 at 0641 UT, mystery carrier audible
again  against 810.00 WHB, KC, MO, not earlier in evening. I DF it
again on the D808, roughly 100/280 to 105/285 degrees from Enid. Not
up to checking multiple remotes this time except for Northern Utah #1
which heard it before and is hearing it again, but not enough to lock
onto it separately from KSFO. At final check direct 0705, more like
810.59 kHz. Greg Hardison and Ron Howard checked CO remote for KLVZ
Brighton [Denver] CO, and found it not off-frequency, but could its
running IBOC have something to do with this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
