** CHINA [non]. 13650, Feb 6 at 2335, have been listening to the nice
Chinese music on CRI`s so-called ``Portuguese`` service via CUBA, on
caradio; BTW, I see that WRTH 2021 says nothing about this and some
other Eurolangs being replaced for months by music fill only. Maybe
that will be noted in the free B-20 pdf updater coming out shortly.
Passing by the 94.3/99.9 joint LPFM transmitter site on N side of Enid
on US 81, once again 13650 is overridden by FM noise from them; likely
overloads on any SW frequency tuned on the caradio, but fortunately
lasts for only a few blox (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5040, Feb 7 at 0125, RHC`s tropical frequency is OFF; still
off at 0332 next check. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 6180, Feb 7 at 0141, S9/+10 of dead air --- almost:
occasional few words of English JBA. Is this the CRI relay as
scheduled? Much weaker signal than not // 6000 RHC English, and
unusual heavy flutter on 6180 - RNA Brasil is probably SAHing it but
also too weak on 11780 to make a match, nor any DRM noise audible
around 11910 but if heard would not be // either.

5910, Feb 7 at 0336, this CRI English via CUBA has VG signal and
modulation, but no trace via KB0FX remote of harmonic on 11820.

S9/+10, reminds me of ``Surfin` USA``, but not per playlisters, where
everything is on a ``sweet`` theme; 0129 ``Wolverine Radio`` expected
ID. Still going at 0200 with bluegrass when I tune over to 5950 for

It used to be barely audible daytime in western Enid from quiet
parking lots with NOAA Weatheradio relay; not lately, but certainly
was still on long past 2015y. Now I drive right by the site at park
entrance, across from Kegelman radome and aux Vance AFB airstrip, and
it`s gone --- no signal and no TIS antenna or transmitter at all.

However, there is a new TIS-suspicious-looking pole on the east side
of US 81/60/64 north of Enid, south of the T-junxion. No sign and no

artesian well. Here there is less splash daytime from 740 KRMG (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1110, Feb 6 at 2123 UT, VG talk signal presumed KFAB Omaha
NE skywave already; yet the next 50 kW station to the east, 1040 WHO
Des Moines IA, is barely audible. This does not make sense if both of
them are really 50 kW ND! Could 1110 really be KVTT The Metroplex?
This was English, not Asian, and altho 50 kW, KVTT is direxionally
unfavorable; yet higher 50 kW direxional Mpx stations 1440 gospel

Enid and was believed off or QRP for longtime but in last few months

``UPDATED: OCC shuts down disposal wells in response to 4.2 quake
Violet Hassler | Enid News & Eagle Feb 5, 2021 Updated 22 hrs ago

COVINGTON, Okla. — Responding to a swarm of at least 18 earthquakes —
including one measuring magnitude 4.2 — in the Covington-Lucien area
Tuesday {sic! it was Friday, Feb 5 --- gh}, Oklahoma Corporation
Commission has ordered disposal wells in the area to cease or reduce
operations.

Disposal wells within three miles of the largest earthquake’s
epicenter have been ordered to cease operations, while wells from 3 to
10 miles of the epicenter must reduce volume to no more than 50% of
the current 30-day average, according to an OCC news release.

The decision was made by OCC’s Induced Seismicity Department. It is
estimated the actions will reduce disposed volumes by about 9,000
barrels a day, according to OCC.

“Researchers are in broad agreement that disposal into the Arbuckle
formation in parts of Oklahoma can raise risk of induced seismicity,”
said Matt Skinner, OCC spokesman. “Commission ISD directives since
2015 limiting or eliminating such disposal are among the actions
credited with the sharp decrease in Oklahoma’s seismicity rate since
2015.

The quakes — about four miles east and 1.5 south of Covington and 21
miles southeast of Enid — started at about 10:17 a.m., with magnitudes
3.5 and a 3.7 shaking the region, respectively, about 40 seconds
apart, according to U.S. Geological Survey. Both were between about
2.5 and 3.7 miles deep and centered in the same area.

About an hour later, two smaller quakes hit — a 2.3 at 11:27 a.m. and
2.6 at 11:29 a.m. — with the largest quake of the morning, a magnitude
4.2, centered in the same area at 11:48 a.m., according to USGS. It
also was at a depth of 3.1 miles. Smaller quakes continued with a 2.6
at 11:59 a.m.; a 2.2 at 12:03 p.m.; a 2.3 at 12:14 p.m.; a 1.5 at
12:44 p.m.; a 1.9 at 1:12 p.m.; a 2.1 at 1:59 p.m.; a 1.8 at 2:20
p.m.; a 1.5 at 3:59 p.m.; a 1.9 at 4:31 p.m.; a 1.7 at 4:36 p.m.; a
1.7 at 5:08 p.m.; a 1.8 at 6:40 p.m.; and a 1.3 at 8:23 p.m. {altho
USGS uses UT, these times converted to CST = UT -6}

The quakes were reportedly felt nearby and as far as downtown and
western parts of Enid, according to posts on social media. One
Covington resident said the earlier twin quakes knocked items from the
walls of her home.

Oklahoma has in the past been the location of several earthquakes with
the upsurge of oil and gas activity in the region starting prior to
2010. Temblors have decreased with action from Oklahoma Corporation
Commission and practices undertaken by the industry to curtail
wastewater injection in many places.

In 2020, there were only 36 earthquakes with a magnitude greater than
3.0 throughout the state, with 16 of those in Northwest Oklahoma.``

``“Eating Hanness”: Uyghur Musical Tradition in a Time of Re-education
--- Amy Anderson and Darren Byler, p. 17-26

Abstract

In February 2019, two major musical performances by residents of the
Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region were widely circulated on Chinese
social media. These two performances, one a Mekit County Harvest Gala
and the other a performance by a Uyghur school teacher from Qumul,
featured Uyghurs dressed in Han cultural costumes performing Beijing
Opera.

Over the past five years, since the “People’s War on Terror” started,
the space for Uyghur traditional song and dance performance has deeply
diminished. Simultaneously, the space for Uyghurs performing Hanness
through Chinese traditional opera and Red songs has dramatically
increased.

Drawing on open source Uyghur and Chinese-language media, ethnographic
fieldwork, and interviews with Uyghurs in diaspora, this article
analyses the changing role of music in Uyghur religious and ritual
life by tracing the way state cultural ministries have dramatically
increased their attempts to separate Uyghur music from its Sufi
Islamic origins in order to produce a non-threatening “permitted
difference” (Schein 2000).

Since 2016, the re-education campaign of the Chinese government on
Uyghur society has intensified this disconnection by promoting an
erasure of even the state-curated “difference” of happy, exoticized
Uyghurs on stage. Han traditional music is now replacing Uyghur
traditional music, which shows an intensification of symbolic violence
toward Uyghur traditional knowledge and aesthetics.

In a time of Uyghur re-education, musical performance on stage has
become a space for political rituals of loyalty to a Han nationalist
vision of the Chinese state.

WOR 2072 first broadcast confirmed, minutes after completion, UT
Friday February 5 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850 VG direct; 7780 VG S9+15/20
into UTwente SDR, Netherlands (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Feb 4 at 0701, R. Vanuatu, presumed third harmonic
of 3945, JBA modulation. Happened to check now but per Ron Howard,
previous fundamental 7260 has extended an hour until 0659* so no
harmonix before then; often audible also on X2 = 7890 but not now
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2072)

** CUBA. 13634 & 13766 approx., Feb 3 at 1518, RHC FMish distorted
spurblobs out of 13700-AM today are only JBA, but enough to bother
algo on 13765-AM. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** ETHIOPIA [non] 15160, Feb 3 at 1520, JBA carrier with flutter; just
enough to lead to further info from others on the WOR iog:

Ivo Ivanov concludes it is this from there:
``FRANCE Dimtse Tigray new clandestine broadcast via TDF Issoudun
1500-1700 15160 ISS 250 kW / 130 deg EaAf Tigrinya Tigray Media House
Good here in Sofia and via SDRs Heimiswil Switzerland and Sokyriany
Ukraine -- 73! Ivo Ivanov``

Chris Smolinski, Maryland: ``Generally a good signal here at 1529 UTC,
but frequent OTHR bursts completely block it out now and then``

Arthur Pozner, near NYC, who discovered it yesterday, Feb 3 at 1620:
``The program yesterday made very frequent announcements of "R. Tigray
Media House". Today it is fading very often and that interference only
lasted for a few minutes at 1525-1530. Sounded like variable white
noise, and it blocked the transmission totally.``

``No one seems to specify explicitly the language heard. Radio T-M-H-
is obviously in English but anything else? They do do English
programming on YouTube. Glenn``

Wolfgang Bueschel, Germany: ``KIWInet option TdOA direction finding
give some - all is probably -, two different disappointing image
outputs. For a 19 meter band of signal direction finding you need a rx
triangle 2500 km distance away at least. Likely Issoudun or Nauen
bcast center origin. FMO is Broadcast Belgium

Dr Hansjoerg Biener, Germany: ``Ethiopia (Tigray): The English section
of „Radio Tigrai Media House“ at https://tmhtv.org/ is not too
informative.

https://tmhtv.org/en/2018/05/31/ethiopia-a-stable-peace-or-an-impending-crisis/
does not seem to be against the central government.

https://tmhtv.org/blog/2019/06/07/alarming-ethnic-based-attacks-and-targeted-killings-of-civilians-in-ethiopia/
is critical of the central government/the Amhara state.
There are many uploads to YouTube, including this advertisement for
„T-M-H-R“/“Radio Tigrai Media House“:

Judging from the right column, there have been a lot of uploads in
recent days.(Dr Hansjoerg Biener 3 February 2021)``
