** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Jan 5 at 1428, 1538 chex, no LRA36
signal, just S5 noise level this Wednesday into two Brazilian, one
Uruguayan SDRs; nor at 1538. Well, at first check when someone in
Salem OR was already on frequency, so I camped, I almost heard trace
of modulation, but must have been imagination-level or extremely
underpowered or underpropagated. We`ll see if Manuel report it (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9900-, Jan 5 at 2219, NO signal from R. Cairo into UTwente,
but somehow heard are some tonebeeps. Maybe NMA have finally got our
message to turn it off until and unless fixed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2119 monitoring: Richard caught two WRMI
airings I missed on Jan 4 & 5: ``From: Richard Lemke, St. Albert,

UNIDENTIFIED. 5040, Jan 5 at 0724, JBA carrier, I guess Vanuatu rather

possibility of something 3 x 1680 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9899.598, Jan 4 at 2112 & 2118, NO signal from R. Cairo
fracas today into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Jan 4 at 2333, VOT manages to transmit
today unlike yesterday, during a recipe, S9+35/40 into UTwente, +18 Hz
carrier offset with some hum but sufficient modulation.

2359 recheck now Chinese is dominant, but ripple SAH from another
carrier, maybe TRT remnant but soon off. 2400 timesignal and anthem,
ZRGD ID, now reading +12 Hz carrier offset (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 6125, Jan 5 at 0424, VOT is S9/S7 but undermodulated to
JBM, unusable. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 347 MCW kHz, Jan 4 at 0422 UT, AFK, 25 watt ND beacon from
Nebraska City NE. Not often heard. Tuned in USB, with bleed from

** U S A. 5935, 5890, 4840, 3215, Jan 5 at 0425, all four WWCR
transmitters are OFF!!! Not for storms as Blitzortung tho not checked
until 0602, shows absolutely no storms anywhere in North America. Good
riddance? Nothing on homepage to explain. But by 0615 recheck, all are
back on except 3215 the BS is incredibly weak, must be ailing, S6-S9,
while 4840 hits S9+40 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5830, Jan 5 at 0426, WTWW-1 is S9+30/20 of dead air, like
last night? Maybe it`s not Ted to wake up; when I was on WTWW, the
programming of old SFA tapes and anything else was handled remotedly
by some guy in Pennsylvania (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1540.21, Jan 5 at 0441 UT, big het against 1540.00 signals,
identified months ago and still going whenever checked, all night, the
10 kW *daytimer* WKVQ, Eatonton, Georgia, little or no modulation as
if that make it OK. KGBC Galveston TX used to be on the minus side of
1540 but not heard lately (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, January 5 at 0433:
657, 684, 747, 774-2, 909, 999, 1089, 1107, 1215, 1611? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4095.95 approx., Jan 5 at 0429, extremely slow Morse
code beacon ID as TCO repeated several times, and then TE2- sent once,
that is the last character is dash, -....- Much stronger than trace of
DW desert whooper nearby. Several other reports of TCO here:

** CUBA. 13680, Jan 3 at 2101, RHC in Brazuguese. This frequency still
not picked up by Aoki or EiBi, altho I already reported it Dec 17 at
2121. It may be sporadic. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11850, Jan 4 at 0222, RHC Spanish is S9+10 but JBM, along
with JBA carrier parasites 11840 & 11860, while 11760 is much better;
and 5040 is S9+20/30. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Jan 4 at 0225, R. Rebelde only S9, must be QRP, as 4765
Progreso hits S9+20, and 5040 RHC S9+20/30. Something`s always wrong
at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5040, Jan 4 at 0727, RHC S9+20/30 in Spanish, on way beyond
when any Spanish is supposed to SW. In fact it was still going at 0840
per Bryan Clark in NZ, and could pose a problem for Vanuatu if it
resume. At least Jeypore, India is out of the way. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 350 MCW kHz, Jan 4 at 1606 UT, RG, 400 watt ND beacon
``Gally`` at Will Rogers World Airport, southwest OKC, is BACK! Had
been off for 2 days. AFAIK there were no crash landings during (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** PERU. 4810.0, Jan 4 at 0725, JBM talk and music S9 audible in LSB
mode only vs STANAG, presumed R. Logos. Some may hear it best by
tuning to 4808 as read-out but the carrier frequency is what counts
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 3 at 2302, NO signal from VOT English to North
America, into Maryland SDR. Just in case also checking UTwente, where
it pounds in on the way to us - not there either at 2307, but weak
Chinese is already on instead of *2310. Now that makes a JBA carrier
into Maryland. Still no TRT at 2355. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Jan 4 at 0228, no signal from WRNO. But it`s on at
0723, S9+10/20 but distorted praise music. Something`s always
mis-modulated at Metairie (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5830, Jan 4 at 0230-0241+, and still/again past 0358, S9+20
of dead air from WTWW-1 except for some hum; meanwhile 5085 WTWW-2 is
nominal. Wake up, Ted. PPPP`ll get you (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1200 kHz, January 4 at 0744 UT, once again gospel huxter
fighting it out with WOAI San Antonio, making a SAH, no doubt KFNW on
day pattern or ND, and could easily be day power of 50 kW. About it
from ``North American News``, edited by Andrew Brade, January Medium
Wave News:

``1200 KFNW West Fargo, ND – station has a CP and Programme Test
Authority for a new antenna installation, at a new site, with the same
facilities as previously. The station is still licensed for 50 kW days
and 13 kW nights, both with a directional array from a four-
tower installation of which three are used during the day. The pattern
for the directional array is to the north. Pending the relocation of
the towers, KFNW had been operating under a non-directional STA since
June 2021 with 10 kW days and 3.25 kW nights`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, January 4 at 0242:

UNIDENTIFIED. 5055, Jan 4 at 0728, JBA carrier. I might guess 4KZ,
Innisfail, Queensland, but sunset in nearby Cairns is not until 0855.
Aoki shows Vanuatu also on 5055 as well as 5040, but neither now?

** CANADA. 351 MCW kHz, Jan 3 at 0422 UT, dash and YKQ, 500 watt NDB
at Fort Rupert / Waskaganish, Québec. I was tuned to 350 USB, another
check for RG in OKC, still AWOL. This is at the southern tip of James
Bay near the Ontario border (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [non]. 11790, Mon Jan 3 at 1607, Horn-of-Africish song, talk
mentions Iesus Christ, S7/S9. It`s Bible Voice in Oromo via Nauen,
GERMANY, per Aoki Sun/Mon/Tue only with other Ethiopian languages in a
convoluted schedule until 1800. What a shame Canada`s #1 SW voice to
the world are gospel huxters instead of RCI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non?]. 5040, Jan 3 at 0432, S7-S9 open carrier, RHC? Too
weak unless something be drastically wrong; too strong and too early
to be Vanuatu. 5025 Rebelde is also much weaker than usual.
Something`s always wrong? at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9650, Jan 3 at 0450, RHC Spanish, S9+20, overmodulated &
distorted, modulation cutting out. This is the Antillas service
supposed to switch from 9710 at 0000. // always weaker 9535 for C
America. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, Jan 3 at 0452, RHC English here instead of alt. 6165,
VG S9+30 and good modulation; propaganda claiming Cuba is ``not on its
knees``, and the ``economy is viable``. Time for another link to The
Other Side, altho not exactly the same subject:

``Like the Prosecutor's Office, Cuban judges turn their backs on
justice in the trials against 11-J protesters --- They have not
challenged the lack of arguments to support the crime of sedition, nor
the absence of impartial witnesses against the accused.

** MEXICO. 1670+, Jan 3 at 0720, music making a low audible heterodyne
on the plus side of talk from WOZN Wisconsin, which had been the
dominant 1670 here, surely the new, Mexican as Terry Krueger,
Niceville FL, has just measured: ``1670.05 MEXICO XEFCR Reynosa,
Tamaulipas 0718 12/23/21 Still here and on the high side with nonstop
pop oldies``. Otherwise I have a tough time getting Mexican X-banders
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 350 MCW kHz, January 3 at 1555, RG, NDB at OKC is still
off the air. Guess flights into/outof Will Rogers World Airport don`t
really need it. Other Okies remain off for a long time: 255 SW
Stillwater, and 341 EI Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11815v, Jan 3 at 1606 UT, VOT Turkish is strong enough to
audiblize squeal on transmitter, much like WEWN; could it be the same
model? Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2119 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
January 2 at 2101 on IRRS SW vis AM Italia, 918 kHz, S9+19 into nearby

** U S A. 5085, Jan 3 at 0433, WTWW-2 is unusually off this early, and
along with it the parasitic spurs circa 5072 & 5097. Then I see this
posted at 0415:

``[WOR] 5085 transmitter problems --- Not sure whether anyone else
noticed, but 5085 suddenly dropped off the air sometime about an hour
ago (now 0413). Clearly a fault of some sort. Just now, I'm catching
microsecond bursts of speech, so they're trying to fix things at WTWW.
I was enjoying their music program while working in the shack. Hope
they make it back soon! 73, Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3360, UT Mon Jan 3 at 0255, I go to the Athens GA remote
which is still tuned for me to 3360, but NF from WWRB is off already.
Did not get it reconfirmed at all this weekend. Span seems shorter on
Sunday night than Saturday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9385, Jan 3 at 0448, S4/5 of dead air, must be WEWN English
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1030, Jan 3 at 1546 UT, YL in Spanish. Got to be KCTA Corpus
Christi TX, I thought, until finding one other possibility in NRC AM
Log, WGSP 50 KW Memphis TN. And KCTA program schedule shows English at
this time, in fact very little Spanish: Sat 19-21 UT only.
https://kctaradio.com/blog/program-schedule/
BTW, KCTA stands for Know Christ The Answer, a back-formation? Maybe
that`s why so little Spanish, hard to come up with a KCTA slogan; any
ideas? Korpus Cristi Tejas Abla? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130, Jan 3 at 1550 UT, KLEY Wellington KS still
dead-airing, for the record (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1200, Jan 3 at 0722 UT, the original ``Clear Channel``
station, WOAI San Antonio with C2CAM reincarnation nonsense has severe
QRM from a gospel huxter in English, sometimes overriding WOAI. Hard
to separate by nulling, since this has to be KFNW West Fargo ND,
almost exactly opposite direxions from here. U4 50/13 kW, night
pattern supposed to be totally northward; day pattern with lesser lobe
to the south. At times, WOAI also gets battered by WRTO Chicago but
not now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. Re: ``13830, Jan 2 at 1527, S Asian? song, S9/+10,
announcement and 1528 VR IS, 1530 ID ``Ye ---`` mentions Ethiopia.
This is VR Amharic at 1530-1600 from SMG site, but no other language
from it or anywhere is scheduled before 1530. Remarkable signal, about
the same as 13820 Martí, another example of VR capability to serve far
from its intended targets``

I bet what I heard at first 1527 was VR in Malayalam, frequency
switching misaligned. Per WRTH 2022, that`s supposed to be on 7320 &
9595 both Tinang, USAGM Philippines, violating Separation of Church &
State, at 1510-1530, so immediately preceding on program feed line
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Jan 3 at 0427,
perfunctory and not digging to the usual depth, finds stronger ones on
612, 711, 882, 1053, 1107, 1215. 612 surely not the just-reactivated
only MW from Jordan, 100 kW, but the 300 kW from Morocco, like 711
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 600, Jan 3 at 1552 UT, sports talk and ad in skywave
remnant; daytime groundwave WMT IA is only a trace at best. ESPNs are
KROD El Paso TX and KVNA Flagstaff AZ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 620, Jan 3 at 1543 UT, Spanish from KTNO The Metroplex
TX unusually in daytime has CCI from algo making a fast SAH maybe 10
Hz. Skywave remnant, also showing up on many other frequencies. Two
most likely/closest/westward sources are: KJOL Grand Junxion CO, and
KTAR Phoenix AZ, both 5 kW ND. Will MWoffsets help? As usual, no: CO
not measured, AZ/TX only 0.7 Hz apart. Next candidates, KMNS IA and
WJDX MS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
