** CANADA. 346 MCW kHz, Jan 28 at 0725 UT, dash and YXL, 500-watt NDB
at Sioux Lookout ON, had not been audible for several nights with
northerly propagation suppressed. It`s my #1 Canadian, but now two
slightly weakers are also JBA:

351 MCW kHz, Jan 28 at 0727 UT, dash and YKQ, 500 watts at
Waskaganish, the only QC I sometimes get, and:

382 MCW kHz, Jan 28 at 0729 UT, dash and YPL, 1000 watts at Pickle
Lake ON (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. 1190, Jan 28 at 0733 UT, ``AM 1190`` non-ID and
weather, lo -21 and hi -14. Wow, really deepfreeze, must be northerly.
NRC AM Log shows only station on 1190 deliberately IDing that way is
CFSL, Weyburn SK, U2 10/5 kW. Temps are not as bad as if they were F
instead of C, and closely match forecast for Weyburn. Supposedly
nothing but northward at night, don`t you believe it. I was checking
1190 for anything in Spanish as ``La Ley`` which someone asked me to
ID, nonesuch listed in US or Mexico (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [non]. See MALI

** CUBA. 6000, Jan 28 at 0237, S9+40 of dead air in English? from RHC
where something`s always wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 9700, Jan 28 at 0231, S7/S9 sounds JBM, in Spanish.
What`s really happening, I think: RHC with dead air, atop much weaker
CRI in Spanish making a SAH, as scheduled via Kashgar, East Turkistan
at 00-03, and seems // 9590, Commies vs Commies! (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Jan 28 at 1939, RHC in Kriyol, S8/S9 undermodulated,
also 15140 S9 vs windhowl. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 13630, Jan 28 at 2125, discussion in American English, so
must be CRI relay, S3 direct. Stops at 2130 interrupting discussion
and after a brief pause resumes with CRI IS and opening French. This
is deliberate, not a mistake. All English broadcasts last an hour and
start at top of hour, but gotta get French on when it start. HFCC
shows continuous 1930-2230 for CIRAF 53, 100 kW at 111 degrees; first
semihour in Portuguese, last hour in French (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 5140 USB, Wed Jan 28 at *1500, another weekly
Oklahoma Security Net, opened by YL WSHM692, counting 12345, 54321.
Her signal and others quite weak, and altho calls uttered fonetikaly,
not sure I have copied all accurately. Compare to last weeks Jan 21 &
14 and previous log reports. After above call, she mentions once one
other, personal? Like KMYU4JS?? Rollcall:
WQYW443 Beckham County;
WQZT582 Broken Arrow, answered;
WQSY836 where? Byng per Don Moore;
WNPV700 Durant, answered;
WQYW883 Moore, answered JBA;
WNUW215 Ponca City;
KNGR728 Pontotoc County; Don Moore had this in Rush Springs, different
non-adjacent county;
WPFY721 Seminole, Ernie answers to Brendah?;
WNBM839 Stillwater, answered;
WNCH624 Tulsa;
WNBE830 Jefferson City MO, answered.

Completed at 1507 till next week; any others? At 1508, WPFY721
contacts WNBE830. This was all totally routine, despite seeming
`emergency` ice/storm conditions. Only today with temp to exceed
freezing might we venture out, but decide streets are still too
hazardous. Enid got 11.5 inches of snow, plus/minus depending on
source, but not freezing rain and never any power outages for us
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, Wed Jan 28 at 2302, REE dead air at S7/9+10 into
Maryland SDR, the ME channel still defective, no one noticing at
Noblejas??? Fortunately, we don`t need it as the 9690 for N America is
funxional for weekly token English, S9+5/20. 17715 is JBA, 17755
JJBBA. I listen to the first third, when the guy is mainly speaking
with his heavy accent: at least we cannot doubt we are listening to
Spain. Some of his misprons: ``colleeded, creesis, launch`ed, fattal
shooting``. Annoying continuous musical background, and too many long
Spanish clips during the `English` news. If we understand that, we
don`t need the English, and if we don`t understand it, we don`t need
the Spanish! After domestic and international news, 2320 about cinema
and TV awards (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.002+, Jan 28 at 2257, VOT not off the air IS & ID in
English, S9+25/35 into UTwente. Next check at 2358, already off,
failing to append any extraneous German (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 8992 USB, Jan 28 at 1941, USAF crypto exercise, not bother
to copy details, but ID ``This is Analytic, out`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 28228 CW, Jan 28 at 1927, DE N6RVI/B, only beacon audible in
quick scan, and JBA fading, finally copied full call. WGB list:
``28228.8 N6RVI/B - Spring Valley CA USA DM12lr - #0 (29 Oct 2025)

** U S A. 13845 & 12160, Jan 28 at 1717 UT, WWCR still off the air, no
signals. Ron Trotto refers us to `Ask WWCR` on website for more info
about the situation; my notes:

It`s the second broadcast in January, till further notice due to the
weather. Four of us are here presently; two stayed overnight. This is
#604, with Brady Murray and Zach. Recorded Saturday 24th when there
are already several inches of snow, with more snow, sleet, freezing
rain expected for 24 hours more. Giant storm across the US. More ice,
rain expected. Reggie and Greg are also in. Don`t want to drive
anywhere. Below freezing for a week or two, not going to thaw. Concern
is ice, bringing down trees, powerlines, extended period without
electricity. At least getting this broadcast done and on website.
Transmitters are water-cooled, so without electricity the cooling
water stops, freezes, damaging transmitters [if on the air]. Plan to
keep everything in good shape as long as we can, with generator,
heaters outside. May run out of supplies.

If delay returning to air, it`s due to weather or could be due to
repairs taking place. Snow is not nearly as bad as ice. Doesn`y take a
lot of ice to damage phone lines, which are a lot like the struxure of
our antennas [rhombix]. Already
even today at 10 am had a transmitter go down, making horrible noise.
Main blower had somehow moved. Engineer Phil has never seen that
happen before, two belts torn up. Phil got it repaired in 45 minutes.
Not clear if weather caused, not very cold inside that building. You
and Reggie did a fair amount of work today, clearing road. Not
expecting anyone, but a broadcaster did come in to record. Two big
trux were about to collide, then came back. Video footage shows almost
nobody driving, just some tractor-trailers, or with plows on front.
Focusing on main roads. In 24 hours expecting final burst of snow,
then bitter cold. As much as 20+ inches of snow predicted. Putting
this out to let folx know, if website still up, long duration storm.

At 11:38 into show, one other topic: Chris got a call saying that 7
MHz frequencies were not performing as usual, but 7490 mornings was
heard in China close to Mongolia, QSLed, SINPO 43444, incredible. 7490
starts about sunrise. Really excited to hear from China. Will sleep on
couch or whatever we have to do. Ask WWCR is a biweekly presentation
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 880, Jan 28 at 0758 UT, Mexmx, 0800 break for ID in English
as KJOZ Conroe-Houston, Latino Broadcasting, back to Mexmx. No mention
of FM. Not religious, at least not now. A few minutes earlier I was
hearing KRVN NE instead on 880, but none of it now (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Tue Jan 27 at 2259, this WRMI VG after WRN
ID and fragment of FSN before chopped short as usual for canned WRMI
ID, joining RAE feed running a bit late, as closing English with date
Jan 26, which is almost today! And 2301 right into Portuguese, but no

Tnx to this original tip: ``[WOR] Pirate on 12155 USB as of 1900 UTC
--- There's another pirate broadcasting well above the 43-meter band
today. Up on 12155 USB, there's a station that's been broadcasting
classic rock and R&B music since before 1900 UTC. It's presumed to be
Mix Radio International again, as the operator mentioned on
HFUnderground.com's Discord channel that the station might show up
there today. But so far, no IDs heard. Unlike Mix Radio International
yesterday, today it's being heard well as far west as the Northern
Utah SDR, and I'm hearing trace audio at times at my location so far.

on 7570 & 9955 instead. 7570 is really off and 9955 is Wavescan! The

** U S A. 15770 // 17790, Jan 26 at 2258 as usual these WRMIs are // -
in French? No, I think it`s English with heavy French accent vs lots
of background noise, in airplane? WRMI skedgrids are totally
confusing. In top xmtr grid, both WRMI-7 on 17790 and WRMI-9 on 15770
with System H, R. Prague International, i.e. English. But System H
sked itself shows RPI, M-F at 2230-2300 on 15770 & 7730, not
17790. 17790 is found instead on the System E grid at 2200-2400 with
WRN. At 2300 the two split, into Prague in French on 17790, and
into Poland in English on 15770. At 2304 I find 5850 back on air after
absent yesterday, with French // 17790. But the System H sked claims
at 2300-2330, RPI in French on 5850 & 7730.

BTW, all the Systems, despite countless changes, still bear an

** 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

** 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. 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...``
