** CUBA. 5800, Jan 23 at 0724, lite pulse jamming against nothing,
long after WRMI is off this frequency. Presumably prompted by `Freedom
Synergy Radio` which is axually pro-Taiwan, anti-ChiCom, had been
scheduled at 0300-0400* on WRMI-10 5800, from System B, and maybe
still is. Shown only on the freq sked block, nowhere in the program
skeds. System B otherwise means 9955, where it`s not scheduled either.
IIRC, R. República was also on 5800 for a while, forever damaging it,
as once jammed, a frequency forever subject to be torn up by the
incompetent DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9395, UT Fri Jan 24 at 0100-0200, WRMI with `Canadian
Content Radio`, which Sean Welsh advised would be going on hiatus
after this week`s run with several repeats. Was all the music really
Canadian? Or is it just music the Canadian host likes.

5850, UT Fri Jan 24 at 0200-0238+, this WRMI playing various pop
music, no announcements, instead of `Encore` classical music as Brice
Avery just publicized would be starting its run this week, Still shows
on the WRMI skedgrid for System D (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5921-5949, Jan 23 at 0725, approx. range of multiple spurs
out of S9+50 WWCR 5935 with PMS, i.e. +/- 14 kHz. Tuned to middle, one
also hears squealing edges. Something`s not normal at Nashville (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 212 MCW kHz, Jan 23 at 0739 UT, JBA carrier. Used to get
something here but not for a long time. Too many possibilities in RNA
roster, those last heard in late `24 or early 2025: YGX Gillam MB, VP
ValParaíso IN, UC Union City TN, HP Hammond LA. I did log YGX maybe
Nov 24, 2021 and definitely Oct 17 & 5, 2021 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0247 UT January 24

** CUBA. 15230, Jan 22 at 1615, S5/S7 of dead air, or trace? of
modulation, as RHC lives! but as good as dead. I see one other
frequency sometimes reported by others, 6000 around 00 UT (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Circa 21 UT Jan 22, no change in Enid`s unlicensed
stations: 95.1 OG&E Tree of Lights downtown, still dead air in $ tereo
(and BTW the other ``The One/Christ`` fake tree has now been
dismantled). And 1670, Virtual DJ Radio still musicking away best at
usual crossroads (GLenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Jan 22 at 2319 quick check into Maryland SDR,
token English from SNR VG, and 12030 good enough, but nosigs
detectable on 17715 & 17755, unknown whether off or totally
unpropagating (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15016 USB, Jan 22 at 1613, US military alfanumeric crypto

audible on 4724. Each has same echoey sound as deliberately imposed.
Until tactical ID: ``Converge, out`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 26110 NBFM, Jan 22 at 1605, news item from CBS, ratchety,
too weak for full quieting, and soon off or faded out, i.e. KMK282,
the aux of KOVR 13 Stockton/Sacramento. Major 10m beacons in
California also in, such as K6SSB/B and K6FRC/B (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. 840 & 850, Jan 21 at 0808 UT, ad for C Crane Skywave SB-2,
shortwave receiver, during `C2CAM` via WHAS out of synch with KOA, and
no doubt everywhere. C Crane has been advertising SW on this show for
many, many years. Date correct, overlooked in previous report (Glenn

** CANADA. 940, Jan 21 at 0804 UT, Canadian sports news but not // 990
CBW so not CBM: oops, CBM is long gone anyway, now CFNV Montreal;
instead from Canadian Press, 0805 negative weather and ``It`s all you
need, GX 94``, i.e. CJGX Yorkton SK, U2 50/10 kW but CP for U1
50000/690 watts pwr NRC AM Log. Night pattern supposedly mostly NNW

beacon in TUlsa with CCI from another, must be RYN, 400 watts from
Tucson / RYaN, AZ as sometimes heard solely (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 379 MCW kHz, Jan 21 at 0731 UT, DL, 50-watt ND beacon at
DuLuth MN. RU = really RUE, 25 watts in RUssElville AR is also on 379
and often heard, but one or the other rather than mixing (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2278 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday January 21 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 into S Texas SDR.

Also confirmed Tuesday January 21 at 1400 on WRMI 9955, JBA direct; as

** U S A. Re 9475v WRMI spur from 9395: At 0343 Jan 21, Jeff White
asked, ``Is it better now?`` My reply:

``Jeff, Did not see this until 0426 = yes, no 9475 spur heard, but
9395 has faded to much weaker than when first reported, so not really
comparable. I`ll keep checking periodically. Glenn``

Next check at 0724 Jan 21: no 9475 spur while 9395 with SMTV is S7/S9.
At same time 9955 undermodulated hymn also S7/S9. 9395 normally
stronger here aimed thisaway unlike 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1190, Jan 21 at 0755 UT, EWTN TV promo, and mention of
catholicradionetwork.com - so must be KDMR Kansas City MO, U2
5000/500. KDMR is in fact the HQ of CRN at same address. Radio-locator
map confirms site is on MO side, direxional night pattern with a notch
to SSW but we are more like SW. Why? There are no KS, OK, TX or even
XE stations to protect in that direxion. What could DMR stand for?
Divina Maria Regina? Keep Devoted to Mary the Queen? Despite the
grandiose name, CRN exists in only 3 states, MO, KS and CO, mostly FM
stations but the other AMs are 1090 & 1100 in MO, 1360 in KS, 970,
1120 & 1060 in CO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1330, Jan 21 at 0752 UT tune-across, ``95.7 WRAM``. First
thought it were WRAL, but WRAM Monmouth IL is a match in NRC AM Log,
with W239DB on 95.7. U4, allegedly 50 watts at night, 1000 day power,
really? Monmouth is in NW IL between Galesburg and Burlington IA.
Incredibly there are two other 1330s in N IL: Evanston and Rockford
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2355 UT January 21

** BRAZIL. 6010.1, Jan 20 at 0651, JBA carrier from R. Inconfidência,
new frequency; had been offset minus more like 6009.9, but confirming
now plus as reported this week by Carlos Gonçalves, Portugal (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, Jan 20 at 0648, HK3QQ still doing its thing,
looping defective letters in keyboard order starting with QWETYUIOX...
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9565, Jan 20 at 0645, pulse jamming against nothing, as R.
Martí operates at 2100-0100 only, per EiBi. One might also hear
different noise on 9565 at 0200-0300, irregular TDFrance DRM.

Follow-up to yesterday`s The Other Side:

``Biden Takes Raul Castro's Bait
'Governments and international organizations must realize that
negotiating with dictatorships is not a path to peace and stability'.
Carolina Barrero Madrid 20 Ene 2025 - 13:50 CET
Repressive forces in Havana in January 2025. [caption]

The Biden Administration has fallen for a trap. Like the proverbial
genie from the lamp, it has granted three wishes to dictator Raúl
Castro in exchange for the release of 553 prisoners (it is not yet
clear how many of these are political prisoners) in his last week in
the White House.

Thus, these prisoners have been conditionally released, which means
that at any time during the remainder of their sentences they could be
put back in prison, if the authorities so decide, such that they
remain prisoners at the mercy of the dictatorship's plans...
https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1737377428_59460.html

Well, trying to get political prisoners released is not exactly
``vile``. You`re welcome (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 24945 USB & 24948 USB, Jan 20 at 2150, CO2XN
uttering nothing but fonetik call over and over and over and over
several times per minute, evidently trying to get a contact with some
DX on nearby frequency. Also lots of QRM pileups, something on
24946.5, but nothing audible around 24940.

CO2XN does not make it into DX heat/cluster, but lots of stations were
chasing KH7AL/KH9 - or vice versa. QRZ.com: ``KH7AL/KH9 Hawaii flag
Hawaii, Allen C Le Vie, 1915 Harvest Loop, East Helena, MT 59635, USA
--- I will operate as KH7AL/KH9 while on Wake Island during my days
off from work there (end of 2024 and into 2025). I welcome working
many DX from this prime spot in the Pacific``.

But the station I heard: ``CO2XN Cuba flag Cuba, Jose (JOE) Carlos
Caballero Garcia, Santa Rosa # 223 Altos e/ Infanta y Cruz del Padre,
Mcpio Cerro. Ciudad Habana 10600, Cuba`` with lots of photos on his
qrz.com page. It`s fortunate that a police state denizen can still
reach the outside world via ham radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11529.895 approx., Jan 21 at 0008, JBA carrier,
signature offset of pirate Hikari FM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2278 monitoring: Also confirmed Sunday
January 19 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.999- kHz, S9 but

7570 S9+5/10 and 7780 S9/+15.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 20 at 0053 the 0030 WRMI 7780, JBA

Not confirmed UT Monday January 20 at 0200 on GCR1 feed to many

Also confirmed UT Monday January 20 at 0230 on WRN North America
feed.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 20 at 0400 on Area 51 webcast only,
immediately after some F-bombs. Standard disclaimer.

Also confirmed Monday January 20 at 2030 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975,
VP S9 on recommended Bedford UK SDR; S5/S7 but better into Sligo; and
no good into UTwente. Next:

** U S A. 7570, Jan 20 at 0645, this WRMI still on with old pop tune,
presumably `Legends`; but at 0644, WRMI 9395 is OFF; 9955 is ON but
JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. I notify WRMI at 0020 UT Jan 21: ``Jeff, 9395 is putting out
an extremely distorted spur again, this time peaking around 9475 +/- 5
kHz. Unreadable but modulation spike peaks match 9395 {not 9455}.
Before and after 0000 UT Jan 20 into 21. This could be a problem for
WTWW when it resumes 9475. Glenn`` -- Jeff replies: ``Thanks. I have
notified engineering.`` George McClintock says it`s even worse at his
location.

Also: 9455, Jan 20 at 2357, multi-lingual IDs from RAE, WRMI-11 relay
of Argentina. S9+30/40 direct, slightly stronger than S9+20/25 9395
WRMI-6 closing BB`s Ancient Word Radio, presumably `Truth 2 Ponder`.

At 0000 UT Jan 21, 9455 goes to TOMBS, while 9395 and spur go to
15-min ham show with ARRL news, presumably `CQ Calling` which is not
scheduled anyWRMI on this day and time.

System E grid claims 9455 with TOMBS before 0000, not after. System G
grid imagines 9395 with WRN, what? before 0000 and Viva Miami after
0000.

Also: 9955, Jan 21 at 0005, WRMI-3 is S9+20 but Just Barely Modulated,
seems like Japanese. System C grid shows RAE in Portuguese, but the
separate grid for RAE only, shows RAE Portuguese before 0000 on 7570 &
9955, and RAE Japanese after 0000 but on 9455. Contradixion after
contradixion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, Jan 20 at 0647, JBA presumed R. Vanuatu, for the
record (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

{correxion: this should have been headed VATICAN; NOT ``VATICAN
[non]``}

** VATICAN. 15565, Jan 17 at 1530, Vatican Radio signing on in
Amharic, mentioning Facebook etc., S9+5/15 the SSOB exceeding 15770
WRMI, and very little else on almost vacant band. I assumed this would
be via MADAGASCAR, coincidentally aimed thisaway, but HFCC, EiBi and
Aoki all show this and all 15565 VR broadcasts are direct from SMG. Of
course, we have long suspected something strange with their own
antenna, no suppression of back-radiation, or even reversed azimuth!
15565 continues until 1830 with azimuth adjustments depending on
language, 135 degrees to SE for Amharic, i.e. 315 degrees NW backwards
USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7782-7828 approx., Jan 20 at 2354, loud multi-carrier,
multi-tones over this wide range of about 46 kHz, neatly avoiding,
anyway, 7780 WRMI and 7850 CHU. Peaks approx. 7795 at S9+25. WHAT is
this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
