** CUBA [and non]. 6000, UT Thu Feb 13, checking RHC for mailbag show
in English which used to be approx. 0030, 0230, 0430, 0630 UT
Thursdays. 6000 had been running in English again lately, but not
tonight: into Maryland SDR: at 0026 dead air at S8/9, still 0046. By
0053 there is some low modulation. At 0054 this turns out to be TRT,
including VOT IS, runup to their 0100 Turkish broadcast. Same
situation past 0130. At 0300 direct, still S9+40/50 of dead air. By
0430, RHC carrier is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2282)

** OKLAHOMA. 95.1, Feb 13 circa 2230 UT, the dead air in stereo on
this frequency, has come alive again, with rock music sounding mono,
no announcements heard. Reception as before, peaking in downtown Enid,
but no OG&E `Tree of Lights` to go with it. An LPFM on same frequency
still pending with a CP, but I don`t think this is it (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)
** SPAIN. (9690), UT Thu Feb 13, SNR livestream for English repeat at
0300, after SW closing: again at 0320, double-audio as heard 4 hours
earlier. Is no one paying attention at REE? The podcast, however,
about World Radio Day, is OK:

** SWEDEN [non]. 9670, Feb 13 at 1518, SDXF special for World Radio
Day, via Channel 292, GERMANY: sufficient into UTwente, except for
heavy ACI from China 9675. Can`t get rid of it all by LSB tuning and
narrow bandwidth. Mainly in Swedish, mentioning US stations, programs,
WWCR, VORW, WRMI; DARC. 1521 discussion about KROQ 106.7 in California
- apparently someone there speaks Swedish. In second semihour,
includes Jonathan Marx in English about how he was converting DX
Jukebox into Media Network. 1558 brief SDXF outro in English, IS

** VANUATU. 9960, Feb 13 at 0655, RV, S3/S4 in talk presumably Bislama
before QSY-time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810.61, mystery carrier search, UT Feb 13, checking
direct once or twice an hour starting at 0300, nothing until finally
at 0658, measured as above slightly higher than previously. Then from
0700 I start hunting for it via various remotes, starting with Canary
Islands - nothing. Nothing across SE USA, FL, GA, SC, AL, TN. I have
suspected it`s really coming from the opposite direxion, so try
remotes in NM, CO, ND - nothing, until: Corinne #1, northern Utah! Of
course the main 810 signal in the West is KSFO ex-KGO. This shows 30
Hz above 810.600, i.e. 810.63. Keep checking other remotes including
WA until 0730 but not found anywhere else and by then it`s no longer
heard direct. May have gone off again much earlier.

Greg Hardison reports at 0809 UT: ``Glenn: — I did hear that 810+
anomaly on the Allenspark, CO SDR, but couldn't pull any audio
peculiar to it. Wanted to check it on Kimball, NE, but it's offline
tonight. Could it be Sturgis?? The other G H`` - that would be KBHB,
Sturgis SD, U1 25000/60 watts. My previous bearing approx. 280 degrees
would have to be wrong. Or course that`s more toward KSFO, which
sounds normal on 810.00. It would have to be putting out a spur
additionally on the plus side, but I doubt that. Due to KSFO
dominance, there are not many 810s in western USA: only CO, NM, SD, WA

** U S A. (101.1), Feb 14 at 1708 UT, I`m listening online to KSFR
Santa Fe NM, as usual during Friday `Jazz Et Cetera` show, ``Fridays
9:00 am - Noon Hosted by Helga Ancona - Every Friday morning dj Helga
Ancona brings you music from all over the world, including jazz,
classical and an hour of Brazilian music`` which is always at 18-19
UT. Helga mentions that KSFR is now heard on 91.3 in northern NM, via
KSQR. History page shows it:

https://www.ksfr.org/ksfr-history
``2/15/2025 KSFR adds a repeater in Questa, NM and KSFR programming is
now also broadcast on KSQR, Questa, 91.3 MHz``

WTFDA FMDB already has it with 3.0 kW H&V, minus 99m HAAT, no further
details. FCC LCMS shows 2.2 kW ERP, elevation 2396 meters.

Questa is site of an ex-molybdenum mine; ``The name is derived from
the Greek 'molybdos' meaning lead`` which became a Superfund site.
https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/cursites/csitinfo.cfm?id=0600806
A cousin of mine once worked at that mine. We`ve driven by it on Hwy
38 west of Red River, part of the Enchanted Circle Scenic Byway.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enchanted_Circle_Scenic_Byway
It supposedly takes 8 hours to drive there from Enid.

In English it`s pronounced KWES-tuh, but I wonder how they handle it
in Spanish, or respell Cuesta? Answer:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Questa,_New_Mexico
``Questa was originally named San Antonio del Rio Colorado. In 1883, a
U.S. postmaster changed its name to Questa.[4] The postmaster
misspelled the name, as it should have been spelled "Cuesta," which is
Spanish for "ridge" or "slope." Despite the error, the village has
kept the name`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, Feb 14 at 0656, RV is S6/S8 direct in Bislama with
one keyword copied, ``b`long``, the genitive indicator.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bislama
At 0659 recheck, 7260 instead, with USB tuning, S9+10/15 on meter, but
axually less copiable since that includes a lot more noise. In AM mode
tuning, S7/S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
