Hauser
** CUBA. 11880 and weaker windhowly 15140, Jan 26 at 2005, RHC in
English instead of dead air! into Knoxville SDR. Did not check
yesterday, but Terry Krueger, NW FL, tells me:

``RHC in English at local level and great audio today. That’s been the
standard for awhile, mornings in Spanish on 11760 until flipping later
to 11880. But today - 25 January - in English from 2000 GMT (after a
half hour of Haitian Kreyol). But the “wow” is they played several
tracks by a radical politically-charged black US band from the late
1960-1970s, The Last Poets. Credited as the beginning of rap. A stern
warning in advance announced, the lyrics. And there it was. Loads of
the words N***** and and F*** dropped`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CZECHIA [non]. See USA: WRMI 5950; also, via Mike Terry:

https://english.radio.cz/90-years-air-radio-prague-international-marks-anniversary-qsl-cards-8875728
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 570, Jan 26 at 0532, Spanish YL talk dominating instead of
KLIF or anything in English. At 0602, Mexican NA is playing,
kid-choral ``full`` version which means when you think it`s over,
another verse plays. Finally finishes at 0604* and cuts OFF the air,
uncovering algo in English. IRCA Mexican Log`s frequency list at the
bottom has info about NA handlings:

``570 XEBJB NL SAN NICOLAS DE LOS GARZA CST Full (4:40) children's
choral just before or after 6 am. Full (4:40) children's choral just
before or after Midnight. 81-8125-3500 (None) LIVE

570 XEOA OAX OAXACA CST Choral (full - presumably children's) about
5:57 am. Children's choral (full 4:40) about 5 minutes before
Midnight. 52 951 513 5740, 52 800 212 95``

There are two other 570s, one of which ``silent``, XELQ Morelia Mich.
and XETD Tecuala Nayarit, unlikely compared to the others. Very likely
XEBJB near Monterrey NL. But XEBJB and XEOA are supposedly 24 hours
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 660, Jan 26 at 0605, kid-choral NA is playing, until 0609
finally full ID as 92.1 & 660 in Monterrey, ``ABC Deportes, sabemos
cómo se juega``, immediately into song in English, ``Young Girl`` --
really a beautiful song, and I suppose originally no problem with the
lyrix, but listen to them now, could be Jeffrey Epstein`s lament of a
pedophile!

``Song by Gary Puckett & The Union Gap ‧ 1968:
Young girl
Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl...``
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=wdpJFWwNbGk

And 0613, ``Esto es ABC Deportes`` BTW, this 660, XEFZ, tho 1 kW
night, is the regular Mexican heard, not 10 kW XEEY Aguascalientes2
which I used to get, let alone 10 kW XEDTL CDMX, nominal night powers
in WRTH 2026 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. Reply to my RNZP 9700 log last time: ``Hi Glenn, RNZP
are having problems with one of the 50 KW transmitters they normally
use for DRM into the Pacific Islands and are having to use the other
for best purposes to cover the islands. Nothing is wrecked at the
station. One should remember RNZP is there to provide radio services
to the Southern Pacific, not Trump Land. Cheers,

``Hi Ken, I am well aware we are not a target of RNZP. My complaint
was that it was not following its own posted sked, or vice versa.
Perhaps `wrecked` was a bit too strong, as I struggled for some
alliteration other than `wrong` - I have also criticized US and other
stations for not following own schedule correctly. BTW, most of US is
*not* Trumpland. 73, Glenn``

Now another check, Jan 26 at 1514: no signal on 9700, but JBA on 7390
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1300 kHz, Jan 26 at 0535 UT, ``Real Talk``. No stations
named this in NRC AM Log, so I try WTFDA FMDB for any R-T station with
a connexion to 1300 as a ``relay of`` - again no hits. Broad search on
slogan and frequency lead to: KAKC Tulsa! Whose primary slogan is
``The Patriot``. Day pattern barely reaches Enid on fringe contour,
but night pattern has deep notch thisaway, so suspect day pattern
and/or power. U4 5/1 kW (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2331 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
January 25 at 2003 the 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.998, noisy
S7 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Sunday January 25 at 2100 on WRN Europe stream

Also confirmed Sunday January 25 at 2256 the 2230 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, 3975, JBA S3 into Carlow SDR, not UTwente.

Also confirmed Sunday January 25 at 2330 on WRMI 9455, S9+20/25 into
Knoxville SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 26 at 0000 on WRMI 9395, S9+15/20
into Knoxville SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 26 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9+9/12 into
Knoxville SDR. {Meanwhile at 0030 on 9455, formerly WOR, not `Viva
Miami` as on System K schedule, but ``Judge Joey?`` reading
something.}

Also confirmed UT Monday January 26 at 0401 on Area 51 webcast only.
This time did not start before 0400 on WBCQ 5130-, which has to
sign-off* at 0400 sharp. As audible via NH remote. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5850, Jan 26 at 0526, this WRMI continues to be AWOL, but
5950 has been extended and with huge S9+50 signal that 5850 used to
enjoy. I think that 5950 is now on the 315 antenna that 5850 had used,
but is it the WRMI-12 transmitter which had been on 5850, or the
WRMI-8 as shown for 5950 at 355 degrees? Programming now on 5950,
weaker 7730 & 7780 is S Asian? violin? music. Other WRMI fqs? 7570 off
and nothing heard on 9395.

5950 further monitoring: at 0614 operatic solos with piano
accompaniment, 0628 outro in English crediting Bamberg Symphony, and
0629 Prague outro via WRN, 0630 into Slovakia in English via WRN,
`Listeners Tribune` part 2 music, not really a mailbag. System H sked
shows on UT Mon & Tue only at 0600-0630, R. Prague International, i.e.
English on 15770, not 5950! And then at 0630-0700 daily, Slovakia in
Spanish, not English, on 15770, not 5950! Note that at 0629/0630
transition, both are coming via WRN, and the System E sked shows WRN
relay on 5950 and several other frequencies. On 5950 at 0730 it`s WRN
Deutsche Welle in English, starting `Living Planet` // 7780 only.

Tony Pavick reports: ``While not weather related, unlike the previous
week and as well as with WWCR and WTWW, WRMI suffered its own ring of
hell last night as 5850 was extremely unstable. As early as 0200 UT
the carrier on 5850 was repeatedly dropping. Reports I saw said that
Jeff was returning from HFCC and was notified whilst en route during a
stopover in Hawaii. It seems that all 5850 programming has been
shifted to 5950 after 0500 UT. 5950 is still on the air at 1230 UT``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5920, Jan 26 at 0524, TOMBS on WTWW S9+20/30 but with big
hum and distortion, suptorted, still so at 0730. Probably caused by
ice storm circa Lebanon. George said it was hard to get to the site.
By 1539, 9930 is S9+25/35 with OK modulation. Wolfgang Bueschel also
reported Jan 26:

``5919.988 USA WTWW Lebanon TN – much annoying TERRIBLE BUZZ tone
covered signal. S=9 at 0633 UT, 5915.4 to 5924.6 kHz freq range ist
covered by 78 (!) x 60 Hertze strings ... 120, 180, 240 ... Hertz
either sideband – TERRIBLE BUZZ tone!`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5935 & 4840, Jan 26 at 0525, both WWCRs are OFF, during
icestorm in Nashville. More about this, nothing specific, SW not
alluded, via Mike Terry:

``Nine USA Radio Stations Off-Air After Winter Storm Cuts Across The
Country.
FCC January 26 2026

The monster winter storm that cut across the country over the weekend
has left at least nine radio stations off the air. The Federal
Communications Commission reports eight FMs and one AM station are out
of service. The count, gathered from submissions to the Disaster
Information Reporting System (DIRS) did not identify the stations or
their locations.

The storm left a glace of ice across the mid-Atlantic and South,
bringing down power lines which likely left many stations without
backup generators without any electricity with which to remain on the
air...``

Hauser
** CUBA. 5025, Jan 25 at 0011, S9+25/35 of dead air in Spanish direct
from R. Rebelde, where something`s always wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 11760, Jan 25 at 0729 UT, S6/S8 of deadair,
obviously RHC failed to turn off hours ago, the SSOB except for 11780
RBA Brasil already on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 9700, Jan 25 at 1531, song in English, S7/S8 direct.
Aoki & EiBi have nothing until 1651 for RNZP, but HFCC shows 9700
*available* for that anytime between 0900 and 1800. Own Howtolisten
page claims 9700 on air ONLY on Saturdays in AM at 1651-1858, but this
is Sunday, axually local Monday already; and 7390 supposedly daily
1259-1650 which I did not think to check at the time. Another failure
to follow own published sked; something`s wrecked at Rangitaiki (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1040 kHz, re hearing a very weak C2CAM here
instead of normal WHO bigsig, I recall that when near the 960 KGWA
antennas in NW Enid years ago, I detected a spur? from KGWA on 1040;
never confirmed at home several miles away, but a possible explanation
rather than attenuated WHO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 5140 USB, Jan 25 at 0010, no activity on Emergency
Operations net frequency, but news reports that EOCs are monitoring
the situation of Winter Storm Fern -- how cute, tnx Weather Channel,
with frigid temps, heavy ice and snow -- so far in Enid, only snow,
temps in the plus single digits F. Also no activity at several random
chex of 5140 next few hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9660.003, Sun Jan 25 at 1743, VOT S9+15/20 into UTwente, as
`Letterbox` starts, Cemre speaking slowly, previewing mail from Japan,
China, India, UK, Malaysia. There is some ACI splat, but next signal
on 9655 is only open carrier: nothing in EiBi, Aoki or HFCC. 1) Alan
Roe, Teddington UK, postcard of Ted., Middlesex, lovely handwriting.
2) Mr Miyaki, Hiroshima, Japan, where it`s cold, sent map and postcard. 3) Mr Mei Lin?, Sichuan prov., China, listened via UTwente,
Nov, Dec. 4) ?? ??, Spain, two reports from May & Nov 2025, beautiful
stamps. 5) ?? ??, Fukuoka pref, Japan, NY card. 6) Mr Annan?, an SWL
club in Chennai, India, 2026 colorful calendar. Has 347 members since
1985. Listened via Indian Harbor Beach, Florida SDR. 7) Mr Peter Ng,
Johore Bahru, Malaysia. 8) final: Miss Leila? Bell, UK, listened via
UTwente, also to Voice of Korea - north. 1801 ending, 1802 theme
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 359 MCW kHz, Jan 25 at 0719 UT, GGF, NDB at Grant NE, only
audible with above normal condx/below ``normal`` noise level.

407 MCW kHz, Jan 25 at 0726 UT, NDB OOC is JBA mixing/alternating with
regular HRU in Herington KS. Only the double-O in the clear, but
surely OOC as listed 25 watts `Campi`, Natchitoches LA. It would take
quite a while for them to precess enough not to overlap each other as
periods are almost the same per RNA list: OOC 7.794 seconds, HRU 7.890
sex (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28234.5 CW, OOFSOB, Jan 25 at 1535, DE WS2K/B - WGB list:
``28234.5 WS2K/B - Perkasie PA USA FN20jj - #0/1 (23 Jan 2026) Note:
ID + grid - Ex 28288`` QRZ.com: ``WS2K USA flag USA, JOSEPH M FLASKA,

continue operation of my coordinated 10m CW beacon. It is on the air
continuously. Spots are greatly appreciated. WS2K/B 28.234.5 MHz
Power: 10w`` - Perkasie is in east central PA between Allentown and
Philly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. 9310, Sun Jan 25 at 1530, no signal from V of tRump
via Philippines - because it`s M-F only. WTF,K? I omitted the
frequency for this on WOR 2331 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2331 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
January 24 at 2030 on WRN via WRMI 9395, S9+25/35 into west TN SDR.

Confirmed not on Shortwave Radio Gold, Germany, 3975, Sat Jan 24 at
2030, no signal into UTwente nor Bedford UK, but JBA into Carlow,
Ireland, with rock music, SW Radio announcements, rather than WOR
which is still on their schedule for this date; have enquired.

Maybe confirmed on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, the 2030v Saturday January 24
at 2043, JBA into N9AZZ IL remote vs HNL, seems like my intonation.
Nearerby remotes even worse.

Confirmed Saturday January 24 at 2100 on WRMI 9395, S9+35/40 into
Georgia SDR, an immediate replay after the 2030 emission.

Also confirmed Saturday January 24 after 2100 on WRN Europe stream.

Also confirmed Saturday January 24 at 2210 the 2200 on WRMI 9395, S9
direct.

Also confirmed Saturday January 24 at 2248 the 2230 on WRMIs 15770
S8/S9 direct and // 17790 S7/S8 direct.

Also confirmed UT Sunday January 25 at 0055 the 0030 on
IRRS/IPAR/IRN/NEXUS webcast only.

Also confirmed UT Sunday January 25 from 0403 the 0415v on WA0RCR,
1860 AM, MO, S9+15 into KM4RT west TN SDR, early for a change as
expected since preceding ARRL News was on well before 0400.

Also confirmed UT Sunday January 25 at 0730 on WRN via WRMI 7780,
S6/S8 while best frequency 5850 is OFF! 7730 with JBA carrier, and
tonight 5950 is also off unlike last night. Did not note what was
audible on 7570.

Not confirmed Sun Jan 25 before 1100 the 1030 on IRRS SW Romania,
9510, as I happen to awaken about 1055 and not surprisingly, no signal
direct.

Also zzzz past 1130 when WRN via WRMI should be on 7570, 7780; anyone?

** U S A. 7505, Jan 25 at 0737, S9+20 undermodulated English,
presumably WRNO as sometimes extended (Glenn Hauser, oK, WOR)

** U S A. 780 kHz, Sun Jan 25 at 0740 UT, WBBM ``105.9`` zips right
past `StarDate` with otherstuff, seems to be a regular Sunday defect.
Timechex following are wrong, like ``45 past the hour`` at 0743 -
really an edited? replay of several hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 1120 kHz, Sun Jan 25 at 0605 UT, deadair from KMOX until
0606 start `Our American Story` - or did I mean 0705 UT? Yet per sked
https://www.audacy.com/stations/kmox/shows/show-schedule
OAS is at ``3am`` presumably meaning local CST = 09 UT! Or does Audacy
promote eastern-zone primacy no matter what? We in the Central zone

program times treating ET as if nothing/nowhere else matter (Glenn

** MEXICO. 610, Jan 24 at 0734, Spanish atop Kansas City, mentions
``complacencias -- Santa Rosalía``, i.e. requests from town on east
coast of BCS, not too far from XEGS, Guasave, Sinaloa, across the Sea
of Cortez, so maybe that`s it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

January 23 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, S9+25 into Knoxville SDR, immediately

which closes with its own WRMI ID; that would be `OTH Radio`.

busy so I try K1VL Vermont: 5130 -43 Hz but calibration not checked,
is on with IS & ID loop, not much else, so I audition the (7490)
stream. No disclaimer about a repeat but from 0100 during `WTO` theme,
Allan starts with ``OK, OK... need the shortwave radio more than ever
now``, and single exclamation ``hope``. So it`s obviously a repeat of
last week`s show, never mind (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1040 kHz, Jan 24 at 0726 UT, no bigsig from usual WHO Des
Moines; is it off? Others were making the same inquiry. However, I
finally detect C2CAM JBA // KTOK, KGWA et al., and WHO is the only C2C
on 1040 per NRC AM Log. It may be drastically underpowered; and/or
auroral condx with other northerly signals much attenuated like 890 &
780 Chicago; 1110 KFAB Omaha also weaker than usual. But see unID 1460
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1650 kHz, Jan 24 at 0719 UT, continuous tone of about 320
Hz, i.e. ``carriers`` peaking plus and minus 320 from 1650.000, not a
het from elsewhere, and still at 0755 over algo in English. Looks like
KSVE El Paso TX is back to its old trix of toning all-night instead of
deporting. Last previous log in 2025y: ``1650, April 16 at 0618 UT,
continuous tone matching keyboard at D# = 311 Hz, presumed overnight
filler by KSVE El Paso`` Several later logs of other 1650s mentioned
no tone then (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1460, Jan 24 at 0724 UT, S9+35 open carrier atop a weak
C&W station. Most likely usual dominator, KXNO Des Moines IA which is
5 kW at night and direxional thisaway. Or KHOJ St Charles MO also
thisaway but 12000/210 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL [and non]. 5939.48, Jan 23 at 0720, R. Voz Missionária on
its signature off-frequency, S7/S8 JBA tnx to attenuated so not a
problem 5935 WWCR only S9+5/20. Nothing propagating on RVM`s 9665v or
11755v. Rudolf Grimm reports: Mr. Alvaro Barcelos (engineer /
technician at Radio Voz Missionária) recently informed that the 5940
kHz transmitter / antenna system has been technically revised, now
powered by 10 kW resulting in stronger signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, Jan 23 at 0716, HK3QQ, with his always loop of
letters in keyboard order including some errors, as I have detailed
before. Often audible but not relogged. Now however, it`s notable
because I`m getting this after finding ZERO signals on the 9 MHz
broadcast band! If there were ANY around Colombia they would be
audible too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 1309.67, Jan 23 at 0757 UT, JBA carrier hetting 1310.00
signals. Mwoffsets has a neat hit and nothing else nearby: ``1310
1309,676 CLM Voz de la Patria Celestial (Barranquilla) [range:
-1309.68] measured on 2024-02-03``.
Speaking of Bqa, also had just noted again HJAT deviant on 1100.29
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Jan 23 at 2106, RHC manages to under-modulate, in
French, S9+10/20 direct, // 15140 S9/9 with windhowl. Was preceding
hour dead air as usual in English? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 8992 USB, Jan 23 at 1522-1524+, USAF crypto exercise from
``Space Run`` - tactical ID sounded like. Full fonetik message,
repeated with internal noise burst QRM: D5JKXXWUVHYATFAO3HNO7OMFV3U -
the circular symbols are Oscars, not zeroes.

8992 USB, Jan 23 at 2107-2111* caught another one in progress from
``Base Run``: 7LCEG4, then that starts the whole message+
TLFGIXXSIAS67W6CNIZVOURP - maybe the previous one were also Base Run?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

attenuated, Jan 22 at 0722 UT, only S8/S9 and fading, 5920 WTWW &

** U S A. 7505, Jan 22 at 0725, JBA carrier, presumably WRNO late
again but propagation much degraded (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 660, Jan 22 at 0730 UT, ``660 AM The Answer``, QRM de equal
level ABC Deportes, XEFZ Monterrey NL. Is KSKY Balch Springs [The
Metroplex] TX, U4 7200/600 watts. Both day & night patterns have major
lobes thisaway, but seldom heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1350 kHz, Jan 22 at 0737 UT, Spanglish ``favoritos en KSDN?
13-50 AM``. It`s surely really this per NRC AM Log: KXTN San Antonio
TX, U2 5/5 kW, ``Tejano & Proud`` slogan and format. Night pattern
pulled in toward north, major lobe SE, and several minor lobes.
Suspect really on ND day pattern. It was KCOR during my stay in San
Antonio in the 1970s. Apparently first time heard here as KXTN (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
