 ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Feb 16 at 1520, no signal of LRA36 into two Brazilian SDRs, but JBA this Wednesday into Brasília, and Montevideo, S1-S2 with 1525 ID, 1527 Antárdida themesong, past 1547 but gone before 1603. Sam Sánchez, Oregon had it as early as 1414 via Brasília; and Wolfgang Büschel, Germany, 1500-1520 via Montevideo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 6000, Feb 16 at 0700, S9+20 of dead air from RHC; all other frequencies are off already as I expect this one shortly shall be too. Something`s always wrong? at RHC. 5040 however bears a JBA carrier, presumably VANUATU (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 7220, Feb 16 at 2305, I am plenty busy simulmonitoring English from SPAIN and TURKEY [qq.vv.] at once but make a quick check of RRI: at UTwente, very heavy rapid clicking ranging 7200-7240, OTH radar? centred right on maybe a trace of RRI. But at Maryland SDR, much further beyond W European target, RRI is loud and clear with none of that QRM. Or could be local problem at UTwente? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Feb 16 at 2307, token REE English is not off the air but VG S9+15/27 into Maryland SDR. After news, feature about a ``ghost village`` uncovered in a draining reservoir; 2310 about Gala cinema awards in Valencia, not in Castilian. Shortly retune to TURKEY, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Feb 16 tune-in from Spain at 2316, closing a `Feeling Supreme` feature about some remedy, +018 Hz offset and S9+35 into UTwente but annoying hum. Otherwise sufficient modulation and no squeal. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. 2318 `Weekly Commentary` penned by someone in a Washington DC branch, but neither intro nor outro can I understand their name or credentials, as voiced by the YL with heavy accent, but it`s about Qatar as a useful non-NATO ally. 2329, `Turkey`s Cultural Treasures,` something dating back thousands of years; but at 2330 it`s my time for `NBC Nightly [sic] News` already before sunset here. Later always enjoyable Turkish music fill, 2353 the usual OM announcer sign-off of the ``1230-1330 on 15450 to Europe`` broadcast! Which is doubly erroneous, the A-season scheduling only. Something`s always awry at Ankara. The CCCCCCI has been growing and uncovered at VOT 2354* after only a fragment of one IS iteration (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Re 305 kHz, my Feb 15 log of beacon OI, S. Sioux City NE, Rick Barton replies: ``Hey Glenn. My only expertise here is being a DXer and being the son of two general aviation pilots. Many of the NDBs used to set up approaches to airports use 5 letter names, i.e., "BILOY" that sets up for Billard Airport in Topeka, Kansas. of course, the beacon call is "TO". This is also true of enroute IFR "intersections", such as the "PAYSO" intersection, NW of Phoenix, but close to Payson, AZ. Another beacon, that sets up an approach for Charles City (IA) airport, is designated "CHUKK" (get it? Charles, Chuck Hi HI). Anyway, I learned over time that some of the airnav sites are named for purely local things like nearby golf courses, businesses, rivers and lakes, or even ghost towns. Someone from South Sioux City, Neb. might have your answer. It may be that the airport where the beacon is located, Martin Field, was named for Tom Martin. Beacons "at the field" are usually named for the airport itself, and may not use the 5 letter rule. But I took a look at the aviation chart and saw right off that the beacon is one of two that set up approaches for Sioux City Gateway Airport's Runway 13/31. (The other beacon is SU-"SALIX"). It may have been convenient that the nearby town of Salix, IA, has 5 letters! 73 from the Sonoran Desert - rb`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 335 MCW kHz, Feb 16 at 0654 UT, BV, 25-watt ND beacon at BatesVille, Arkansas; mixing with dash and YLD, 1000 watts at Chapleau, Ontario which is normally heard without any BV. 245 MCW kHz, Feb 16 at 0700 UT, FS, 400 watt NDB at Sioux Falls, South Dakota; tuned to 243 USB. A regular not always logged, but note not a trace now nor ever on 243 of RTLuxembourg, which WRTH says is 24h with 750,000 watts day, 375,000 night, direxional 227 degrees toward Paris from Beidweiler site (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2125 monitoring: ``Last one for awhile, Richard --- From: Richard Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees. Dear Glenn: World of Radio #2125, confirmed, below with Details: 5850, 0159, Stormy, voice, February 11 UT [Fri] 9395, QSB fading, noisy, S5 signal, 0241, 0242, 0258, February 12 UT [Sat] 7730, stormy, voice 0041, below S7 signal, February 13 UT [Sun] 5950, jamming, pinball noise, 2358, February 13 UT [Sun] 7730, QSB fading (45333), jamming, water sounds, 0058, Feb 14 UT [Mon] 9395, 0130, 0144, S9 signal, 0159, Feb 15 UT [Tue] 9955, 2340, 2341, S9 signal, 2344, S7 signal, 2359, February 15 UT [Tue] 5850, 1030, 1058, 1059, Feb 16 UT [Wed] (Lemke, Richard -AB)`` Also confirmed Wednesday February 16 from 2200:20, S7-S9 but noisy direct on WBCQ 7490.13.

Groundwave weaker than usual at S6/S7. KLEY had been successfully musicking since last report (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Oceanic JBA MW carrier search, February 16 at 0649+ UT. 846 no audio but much stronger than the only other traces: 684, 774, 1044, 1215, i.e. surely KIRITIMATI vs remnants from Europe: Spain and UK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0031 UT February 17

 ** EGYPT. 9899.60, Feb 15 at 2121 check, R. Cairo is 100% improved: NO signal into UTwente! However, at 2204 UT, Andy Reid, Ontario tells the WOR iog: ``With varying degrees of audio quality, I don’t believe it is the transmitters. They are on now in English 9900 with some audio squeaking though. I did hear the word “president“!`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960+, Feb 15 at 2333, VOT direct is S9/S6 but just barely modulated. Checking UTwente at 2348 it`s +016 Hz high, undermodulated but sufficient if you turn up the volumes on strong S9+27 signal; compared to e.g. much louder 6015 station, Kazakh from East Turkistan, standard denunciation. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. 2353 unusual s/off by heavily accented YL as if this were the 1330 broadcast, IS until 2356* uncovering another Urumqi in Chinese, its CCCCCCI having been audible before TRT quit. Now at least until the 0000 timesignal, another carrier is making a rumbling SAH, unaccounted for in listings, so I guess it may be the Emirler exciter before turned off completely (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 305 MCW kHz, Feb 15 at 0711 UT, OI, 25-watt ND beacon at sIOux City / Tommi, Iowa. What means Tommi? Top search hits lead to a Finnish masculine name; a girl`s name and a VR game. Adding Sioux City leads to S.C. people named that; and OI axually located across the border in South Sioux City, Nebraska! https://opengovny.com/place/ChIJwxQS3cQGjocRz90zVBZkN3M Also leads to a street view of the transmitter box and antenna. Still lacking is any explanation of why this and so many other NDBs are at such weirdly nicknamed airports. Auroral conditions, hardly any Canadians or other USonians making it now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2125 monitoring: confirmed new UT Tuesday February 15 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, VG into Minneapolis SDR; preceded by music fill,``My Sweet Love`` at 0128 tune-in. Also confirmed Tue Feb 15 at new 2330 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/20 direct including considerable pulse jamming by the incompetent Cubans. Next: 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support. Thanks this week to James Ferry, Thornville, OH 43076, for a contribution via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com not necessarily US$ One may also contribute by MO or check in US$ on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9455, Feb 15 at 1612, NO signal from WRMI-5 which is supposedly 24/7 including TOMBS cult all day, according to skedgrid now labeled as ``WRMI B21 Broadcast Schedule as of January 20, 2023`` [sic!]; but other WRMIs, 9395 & 9955 are on and well audible. 9455 azimuth is 285 degrees, close to thisaway, same as 7730 which when on has a better signal here. On 9455, no sign either of CNR1 jammer or RFA Chinese via Saipan as scheduled this hour, but M/W/F only and this is Tuesday, instead: 9720, Feb 15 at 1613, music with fast SAH, repeating melody like an unknown interval signal, 1614 other music, S6-S8. This is the Tue & Thu RFA Chinese via SAIPAN frequency and CNR1 jammer, instead of 9455 M/W/F. So what about 16-17 UT Sat & Sun? 9900 shown by WRTH 2022. This jumparound obviously does not escape ChiCom jamming, so why bother? Must confuse casual non-DXer listeners. 9455 is back on with SMTV cult at next check 0118 UT Feb 16; as WRMI skedgriddled at 01-07 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0312 UT February 16

 ** CUBA. 9700, Feb 14 at 0712, S9/+10 of dead air, trace? of modulation, the only RHC frequency still emanating. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15140, Feb 14 at 2228, RHC still on here, S9+5 in Spanish, instead of scheduled 2130* after French // much weaker 15370. Checking all bands next few minutes, no other RHC frequencies active on 15, 13, 11, 9, 7, 6 MHz; except 11880 English, S8-S4 and suptorted. At 2240 a Cuban seeks pen-pals, with his postal address, then ``amigos de la onda corta, Nuestra América, revista informativa``. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT [and non]. 9899.60, Feb 14 at 2218 direct, R. Cairo S9/S7 but JBM and suptorted in music. Continues as total failure. At 2237 there is a weak het from something on 9900.0, i.e. the TAIWAN/CHINA radio war from 2230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GUAM. 15215, Feb 14 at 2226, vocal SE Asian music, S5/S2, best if not only signal from west on mostly vacant band; it`s KSDA amid Vietnamese hour, beamed even further west from Agat. One can only wonder how 7DA meshes or conflicts with Vietnamese culture, as well as its countless other targets (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** LUXEMBOURG. 234 kHz, Feb 13 at 2326, RTL VG into UTwente, during special about history of pirate radio. At tune-in a put-off, English and French narration mixing at same level! One must be voice-over of the other, which should be avoided except possibly when there be stereo separation. About R. Caroline, clip of ``199`` ID = metres; 2329 French only, about R. Atlanta. Too much else going on at this hour to keep listening, e.g. UBMP, not to mention WOR. BTW, in my LW bandscans for beacons I never hear a trace of this 375/750 kW signal nor any other European LWBC. Richard Langley, NB, tells the WOR iog: ``Interesting show. Although the commentary is in French, there was lots of English in the sound clips and jingles from the different English stations. And the pop songs of course. And those with a smattering of French can follow the drift. I recorded the show using the U. Twente SDR receiver with good quality. But the podcast is even better: https://www.rtl.fr/programmes/les-nocturnes/7900124623-saga-des-radios-pirates-world-radio-day-dimanche-13-fevrier-2022 Worth a listen. -- Richard Langley`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, Feb 13 at 2308, novelty song about bride of Frankenstein, I guess for Valentines Day, S9+15; 2310 another song; 2312 segué to Mideast tune but English lyrix about rock `n` roll; 2315.5 Outhouse Radio ID, SSTV. Many more logs here with lots of noisy fuzzy SSTV images: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,93012.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 11650+, Feb 14 at 0334, S7-S9 of Hornish-of-Africish music, 0335 announcement, more music, mostly talk past 0348. Outstanding signal at first seems the OSOB = only signal on band, until I find also a JBA carrier on 11875, so instead it`s the SSOB = strongest signal on band. At 0352 I switch to Knoxville SDR which is getting 11650 better, S7-S9 reading also, during dialog talk and carrier offset displayed as +53.6 Hz, varying to +52.3 Hz. It`s Radio Tamazuj, via MADAGASCAR, which also accounts for offfrequenciness. MUF barely to 12 MHz is funxional for this trans-equatorial signal; but the 11875 must be VOA Somali via UAE, close to trans-polar (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690 reactivated after AWOL Friday, Monday Feb 14 at 2300, token REE English, VG via Maryland SDR; after news mainly interview about a Greek film; but at 2325 acknowledging World Radio Day yesterday with UNESCO statement about it, and last minute at 2329 a bit of a Spanish version of Elvis Costello`s ``Radio, Radio`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [non]. 5960, Feb 14 at 2259, BBC closes but nothing from VOT English to us during the entire hour as monitored via UTwente. Instead a weak carrier which bumps up to S9 at 2309, JIP PBS Xinjiang, Mandarin in progress from Urumqi, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler; so no contest whether to listen to this or SPAIN, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K. Feb 14 tune in Emma Toc webcast at 1843 when live again, https://www.mixcloud.com/live/RadioEmmaToc/ Jim Salmon preparing to drink worldwide toasts to 2MT at 1900 --- axually three toasts: to 2MT; radio hams who promoted; and to first DJ, Peter Pendleton Echersley(sp?) with a clip of him CQing --- during which the stream to me stalls. Apparently a re-creation some ten years later. Chat keeps going including overhearing 2m? ham contacts past 1930. We continue to wonder and marvel how Emma and Toc ever emerged as fonetix for MT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K [non]. 5945.095, Feb 14 at 0316, JBA S6/S8 carrier off-frequency in 5950 WRMI splash. Aoki shows this hour only it`s BBC Arabic via UAE site, another one which accomplishes inaccurate frequencies. See also SUDAN SOUTH [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2125 monitoring: Also confirmed Sun Feb 13 at 2100.8 on AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+8/12 via nearby Noale SDR; preceded by someshow about Montenegro`s entry into the Eurovision Song Contest, 2100 IRRS SW ID. Initially lots of noise but cleared up by WOR time; power output surges at station? Also checked at UTwente tuning MW rather than SW: at 2120, 1323 kHz is good and clear into other side of Europe, S6-S7 over slight CCI. Also confirmed Sun Feb 13 at 2341 the 2330 on WRMI 5950, S9+35/20 into Knoxville SDR. Also confirmed UT Mon Feb 14 at 0030 on WRMI 0030, S9+10/20 into Knoxville SDR, also VG direct. Also confirmed UT Mon Feb 14 from 0402.7 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160 minus 29 Hz = 6159.971, S9 into Knoxville SDR; running a bit late: at 0356, multiple repeat IDs of ``WDCD Radio``, and ``Wanton Display of Control and Disruption`` -- now we know. It so happens that FCC Queries find no such legal call on AM, FM or TV, way to go! That`s the same one previous weeks closing with a coughing fit. Next: 0130 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW [NEW] 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?] 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support. Thanks this week to James Ferry, Thornville, OH 43076, for a contribution via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com not necessarily US$ One may also contribute by MO or check in US$ on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5950, Feb 13 at 0000-0100, eQSL for TRSW Tribute to Dr. Tim, via WRMI: https://www.w4uvh.net/TRSW_DrTimTribute_eQSL_WRMI_Hauser.pdf or #132 via http://www.worldofradio.com/QSL.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5850, Feb 13 at 2314, this WRMI-12 is back on after AWOL last two nights (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5010, Feb 14 at 0302-0310+, S9/+10 of dead air. Must be WRMI-14, supposed to close at 0300. MADAGASCAR used to appear off-frequency near 5010, possibly hetting RMI, but not lately; when on, scheduled from 0300 per WRTH tho I recall is was on an hour earlier, as indeed listed from 0200 by Aoki; never mind the imaginary Honduran (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. (7490v), Sun Feb 13 at 2330, WBCQ webcast with `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot`, music from Botswana at midpoint. DXing otherstuff until 2330, I will try to catch the first half on secret repeat, UT Tuesday 0000 --- later: yes, I`m doing exactly that Feb 15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085 & 5830, UT Mon Feb 14 at 0311, surprisingly no signals from WTWWs, nor on 9475, 9930 or 9940 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0028 UT February 15

 ** CUBA. 6100, Feb 13 at 0732, only RHC still on, but Spanish instead of English, S9/+40 without humbuzz; to continue with weekly 0800 Esperanto? zzz. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U K. I`ve been audioviewing a looped replay of the Feb 13 hour of Radio Emma Toc, about World Radio Day: https://www.mixcloud.com/live/RadioEmmaToc/ As James Salmon reminds us that he will be live online Monday Feb 14 starting sometime between 1830 and 1930 UT, but to be preceded by several hours of 2MT documentaries from 1100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2125 monitoring: happened to awaken, so at 1339 check 9670, WMRI Europe via Channel 292: zero signal not even a carrier direct, but confirmed at UTwente initially good S7-S9 but deep fades, 16 Hz high, heavy ACI from 9665, listed as CRI in Russian. Next: 2100 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 5950 to NNW 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7730 to WNW 0400vUT Monday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW 0130 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW [NEW] 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?] 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support.

 ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Feb 12 at 1525, RNASG confirmed on this Saturday, JBA S1 music into Brasília SDR; LRA36 ID; Pardinho a trace in the noise; Campo best at S2. 1550 about ``la noche polar``; 1554 ``todo por hoy``, Antártida themesong and apparently off, nothing further heard. Sam Sánchez, Oregon had been hearing it via same remotes as early as 1420 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EGYPT. 9899.607v, Feb 12 at 2128, R. Cairo, S9+40 into UTwente, but dead air except for some hum and maybe trace of modulation. Wiggle that patchcord! Something`s always egregious in Egypt. At 2146 the signal drops off, or rather down below noise level but Synch stays locked to remaining signal as above; 2147 back up and more brief drops to S6 vs S9+40 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** IRAN [non]. Re the mystery on 5910 Friday only at 1730-1800, which on Feb 11 was totally dead air: The original version of the WRTH Update has been amended without notice to show this additional info; as I heard GB reference it on C.A.R.N.: ``WRTH B21 SCHEDULE UPDATES - FEBRUARY 2022 www.wrth.com CLANDESTINE AND OTHER TARGET BROADCASTS Target: IRAN (IRN) CHANNEL ONE TV (NEW ENTRY) W: https://ch1.cc/ E: mahastim@ch1.cc Farsi Days Area kHz 1730-1800 ....f.. AFG 5910 Notes: Opposition TV station based in Canoga Park, Los Angeles. Weekly broadcast relayed on SW to Iran`` So why does it show AFG as Area target? Still nothing about the true site. How did they get this info since there was NO modulation this week? The website is well-developed, and remains mostly in Farsi even if you click on ENGLISH; searching on 5910 goes nowhere, and can`t find anything about radio broadcasts but plenty about satellite TV. Google can translate it, not DeepL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6920-, Feb 13 at 0305, S6-S7 music, 0410 JBA S5-S6. Slightly on the low side. These earlier made it Radio Pushka: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,92919.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 12 at 2308, VOT at S9+15/25 into UTwente, but with that pervasive squeal. Narrowing filter from default 9.0 kHz, down from 2.61 to 2.37 kHz gets rid of it, so squeal is approx. 2.5v kHz. But that leaves the remaining program audio rather lo-fi, especially music. Checking the Autonotch box does nothing about this. After news, 2309 sounds like ``The Firsts of Anatolia``; later at 2325 repeating already yesterday`s `Feeling Supreme` about cracking hands. By now the CCCCCCI underneath is quite audible from East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems. Off at 2350* uncovering ET. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. For many years I was on the P-mailing list once or twice a year for VOT program schedules. Is there any such thing on the TV-dominated website now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2125 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday February 12 at 0230 on WRMI 9395 -- barely. JBA S2/S3 direct; at 0233, JBA carrier into Missouri SDR; JBA S5/S7 with hi noise level into Winnipeg; but at 0235 VG! S9+10/15 into Minneapolis SDR which must be at ideal azimuth and skip distance from Okeechobee, and/or superior antenna. Also confirmed Sat Feb 12 at 1700 on WRN webcast for N America. Also confirmed Sat Feb 12 at 2033 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO via nearby Warrenton SDR, steady S9+12 as usual on groundwave. About 3 minutes into so started circa nominal 2030. Also confirmed UT Sunday February 13 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, S9+10/20. Also confirmed UT Sunday February 13 from 0510 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, still steady S9+12 into Warenton; much later than nominal.

But heavy splash from 4800 China. 2400 `UBMP` starts in the test series, this week from 0000 to 0200, but from UT Feb 14 between 0100 and 0300. Feb 13 at 0005 much better into Missouri SDR, S8/S9+10 but not solid noise-free; agrees minus 7 Hz offset. Direct at 0009, S9/+10 but noisy and fading down and up; later more like -8 Hz. 4790, Feb 13 at 0257, WBCQ still on here, closing `Underground Jam`, NY? address, S9+10/20 vs CODAR; about a minute of dead air until 0300 canned WBCQ ``family`` sign-off. Not part of UB`s test curation, at 0000-0200 only, this date. WBCQ 4790 sked shows nothing but TOMBS 24/7, tho canceled some weeks ago: http://wbcq.com/schedule/index.php?fn=sked&freq=4790 U. Jam not rostered at any time, frequency on WBCQ here: http://wbcq.com/schedule/index.php?fn=x (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5950, UT Sun Feb 13, WRMI S9+30 with Texas Radio SW special tribute to the late Dr Tim, Europirate. Synthetic Susan`s accent is often hard to understand as she names each `station` only once, so names copied may be incorrect guesses. Off-air recording clips may or may not include a readable ID, often lo-fi. 0021 Gold Cup Radio. 0025 Trans-Atlantic Broadcast. 0028 FSK32 image beepery. 0034 Parade Radio. 0036 Lifetime Radio. So far it seems Dr Tim`s musical range is rather narrow pop/rock. 0040 classical piece but jazzed up. 0043 Radio Carneval. 0046 something about a 100-watt transmitter. QSL offer for at least 20 minutes of details. Sense of humour: ``Hier ist Doktor Tim`` polka. 0056 SSTV beepery. 0058 TRSW outro and version of YROT theme (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5850, UT Sun Feb 13 at 0100, this WRMI-12 is OFF again tonight! One of the best frequencies, aimed thisaway, but still on 7780 WRMI-1 for `Encore` classical music; no good here but listening via Maryland SDR good S9+15, and S9 further to UTwente. 5850 still off at 0526 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Feb 13 circa 0035, WTWW-2 sounds like Bob Heil but he`s talking ham rather than thorgans, 0100 ID treating Star Spangled Banner like a jingle, gospel huxter; finally 0103 starts `Theater Organ Under The Arch` for the next hour or so; but I`m listening to `Encore` classical on anagram 5850 WRMI-12. BTW, I happened to hear later on ARRL News via WA0RCR that Bob has sold/retired from HeilSound but as emeritus will continue to do outreach (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 2097.3 CW, Feb 12 at 0657, JBA single-letter beacon A every dekasecond, reconfirmed active, from anywhere but Quartzsite AZ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0542 UT February 13
