** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Feb 2 at 1500, LRA36 is on again this
summery Wednesday, via Brasil SDRs: Pardinho is worst, not best, with
too much noise; Campo better, but Brasília #2 best. 1535 closing,
``hasta la próxima``, Antártida theme song, but --- starts over with
``sign-on`` at 1538.7, ``a partir de ---``, multilingual IDs, but
chopped off air at 1547* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, Feb 2 at 0725, S9+10 of dead air from RHC, while all
others of The Cuban Five on 5 & 6 MHz have been offturned. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9899.606v, Feb 2 at 2134 check, via UTwente, R. Cairo is
S9+25/35, with scratchy modulation attempts much like yesterday, or
just silence except for some hum. Comments on the WOR iog:

From Dan Robinson, ex-VOA: ``As Glenn likes to say -- there is always
something egregiously wrong at Radio Cairo. Perhaps it's time for the
DX/SWL community to pitch in for a special delegation of knowledgeable
persons to visit to help them out?``

But Christian Milling of SWService in Germany replies: ``I've offered
them help a dozen times, either having a look at the SW txes or
bringing on a reliable live stream or checking their leveling issue
--- Forget it. It will never change`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NETHERLANDS. 5954.987, Feb 2 at 2341, pop ballad in English,
S9+10/15 via UTwente, first noticed as ACI to Turkey/China on 5960,
q.v. EiBi says Sunlite Radio but only at 04-17; while Aoki shows
overnite on days 3 & 6 = Tuesday & Friday but this is Wednesday going
into European Thursday:
5955 0500-1800 HOL ICON BV.Sunlite Radio Dut Overslag 1-7
5955 1800-0500 HOL ICON BV.Sunlite Radio Dut Overslag 36

But WRTH 2022 shows overnight 1800-0600 only on Saturday as a daggered
irregular test: does that mean Saturday into UT Sunday, or Friday into
UT Saturday??? 500 watts. SHN`s latest Feb list of Euro private SW
stations says 24/7, plans daily 0400-1700. Location is Westdorpe,
which is in SW Neth right on the Belgian border. Operator clarified
that it is barely on the Dutch side. That`s 238 km = 148 stmi from
UTwente at Entschede. As if confirming at an awkward distance, 2348 ID
fades right as the name is said, and then stays downfaded; 2359
announcement definitely in Dutch; 2401, YL ID as ``This is Sunlite``
and back to music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW kHz, Feb 2 at 0715 UT, PN, 25 watt NDB at Ponca
City is back! After two days AWOL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1640 kHz, Feb 2 at 0713, KZLS Enid is back to talk show,
and running about 1 second behind same on 1650. What`s that? `Red Eye
Radio`, via KYHN, as listed on RER affiliates website. Allegedly in Ft
Smith AR, it`s really in Sallisaw, OKLAHOMA; so no need for any [non]s
here. DXers and editors who ought to know better seem oblivious to
this distinxion. BTW, I don`t hear it much, day or night, for a
station so close; 1650 usually dominated by Iowa, or even Colorado or
Texas moreso than KYHN at night (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Feb 2 at 2306, token English from REE is VG
S9+15/22 into Maryland SDR, as Justin Coe is interviewing a
flamenco/fusion guitarist and composer, José Luís Montón, whose name
makes a bilingual website, never mind the accents? Recorded before
Xmas; too much talk, too little music until 2317 - but just a pause
before more interview. 2320 axually asks him to ``play 15-20 seconds
of his beautiful sweet music``, but fortunately lasts a bit longer.
More like a full minute! Closes with a full song by his collaboratress
in latest release (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Feb 2 at 2305, no VOT signal into UTwente,
but a trace of something; 2318 now nothing but the Chinese, S9+15/25
from EAST TURKISTAN, standard denunciation. 2331 recheck now atop the
ChiCom is a tone on 5959.887 per Sync when tuned to 5960; but also
locks on 5960.888 if tuned up to there: so that means a 1 kHz tone but
not centred on 5960.000, from VOT. Tone stops at 2338. And now sync
lox a tad above 5960.000 as Chinese again audible. Kuwait is also
well-known for its 5960 offfrequenciness but never at this hour (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2123 monitoring: ``From: Richard
Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening
Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees.

** AZORES. 6114, Feb 1 at 0707, RTTY INTRUDER rapid FSK is S9 vs much
weaker 6115 Nikkei Japan. Had hoped the RTTY were gone for good, last
heard on January 13 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9666.561, Feb 1 at 0656, R. Voz Missionária, nominal 9665,
now more than halfway to 9667 from 9666, S3-S6 but VG modulation with
music, the main/only? overnite ZY on 31m. Have not noticed them on
5939- lately (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9899.604, Jan 31 at 2200, UTwente is locking on to an S8
signal here but only hearing tones; it is the exact favorite channel
of Radio Cairo.

9899.605v, Feb 1 at 2136, via UXTwente, R. Cairo English is S9+25 but
only modulation is occasional scratches and some hum. Something`s
always egregious at Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 515 MCW kHz, Feb 1 at 0701 UT, PN, ND beacon at
Ponca City, is OFF. Log search indicates last outage briefly had ended
on August 16, and always heard since until now. Still off at 2326
check.

Can this be coincidental?: 14 hours earlier there was an earthquake
not far away, also felt in Enid, but not by me. USGS: ``Magnitude 4.5
- 7 km NW of Medford, Oklahoma, 2022-01-31 17:10:21 (UTC) 36.851°N
97.794°W 7.9 km depth``. Blamed on disposal wells:

``UPDATED: OCC orders disposal wells near quake epicenter to shut down
--- Kat Jeanne | Enid News & Eagle Jan 31, 2022``

https://www.enidnews.com/news/updated-occ-orders-disposal-wells-near-quake-epicenter-to-shut-down/article_b296387a-82bb-11ec-8e33-771cddd06187.html

``OCC directive shuts down 7 wells near quake epicenter
Enid News & Eagle 2 hrs ago``

https://www.enidnews.com/news/local_news/occ-directive-shuts-down-7-wells-near-quake-epicenter/article_184e1eaa-83af-11ec-8d19-b73a2ee0d4ed.html

25-watt PN was my strongest beacon, even while 341 EI Enid, and 255 SW
Stillwater were on, both still missing; while 350 RG OKC remains. Few
other OKies are ever heard, sometimes 267 HET Henryetta.

Another check Feb 2 circa 0245 UT, still no PN - a complete beacon
bandscan, still with elevated line noise level about 350-420 kHz,
finds hardly anything out of state, just the beefy WG Winnipeg
kilowatt dashing in on 248 MCW. This may be due to this WWV info:

``Solar-terrestrial indices for 01 February follow.
Solar flux 129 and estimated planetary A-index 7.
The estimated planetary K-index at 0300 UTC on 02 February was 4.
No space weather storms were observed for the past 24 hours.
Space weather for the next 24 hours is predicted to be moderate.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G2 level are likely`` (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1640 kHz, Feb 2 at 0250 UT, surprised to hear KZLS Enid
with silly ballgame, Tulsa vs Wichita State. KZLS recently started
simulcasting with co-owned 96.9 KQOB as ``The Eagle``, but now they
are split again, KQOB still with Alex Jones nonsense. I was not aware
that either ever broke far-right talk format or ex-rock music, for
SBGs, but could easily have missed them (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** PERU. 4810, Feb 2 at 0246, JBA carrier direct, maybe trace of
modulation, presumed R. Logos active again. Had been missing from
bandscans mostly later at night. LSB required to avoid Martinique
STANAG on plus side. At 0326 trying the Duitama, Aguadas, Caldas,
Colombia KiwiSDR, but it`s broken again with NO SW signals showing on
the H2Ofall but plenty of noise. It was getting WRMI/WOR/9955 just
fine 3.5 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.004, Jan 31 at 2349, via UTwente, VOT is on
today VG S9+35 but the transmitter with squeals. 2354 sign-off
claiming this has been the 1330-1430 broadcast on 12035. Only fragment
of IS before 2355* chopped off air uncovering Chinese mixing with
music, but seems one transmission rather than QRM; 2400 timesignal a
sesquisecond late as received roundaboutedly.

5960, Feb 1 at 2325, NO signal from VOT direct. Evidently came on
later: 2347 check via UTwente, now S9+30/40, good modulation level
except for squeal, sign-off reciting entire English schedule and
obviously wrong note that the 22-23 & 03-04 are recorded, those being
the times they would and will be on in A-seasons. Then to IS which
keeps playing after 2356 when German IDs start to be inserted twice a
minute: I count six of them; 2400 timesignal mixes with that from
CCCCCCI, not quite synchronized; sign-on in German with irrelevant
satellite parameters, announcers never aware they are accidentally on
SW at this hour. Still on past 0003 but not for full hour. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2123 monitoring: confirmed Tue Feb
1 at 2349 the 2330 on WRMI 9955, S9+25/30 into Aguadas, Caldas,
Colombia SDR, which is back in business; jamming audible way under.
SAM mode shows 9955 carrier is -2.4 Hz low, but tuned to 10000, shows
WWV as -3.5 varying to -4.0 Hz: I think not! That means this WRMI
really be about one sesquiHertz plus. Next:

1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490.1v), UT Tue Feb 1 at 0000, WBCQ webcast with secret
semi-repeat of `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot` from fullcast 25 hours
earlier when I was distracted. This week, ``Oy Canada``, presented by
two self-confessed Gentiles, with guest Fred Waterer, about Jewish
entertainers, actors and comedians, from Canada. Great fun, starting
with O Canada sounding like Hatiqvah; William Shatner monolog about
how yes, he *is* Canadian, etc., until abrupt chopoff at 2330 for
`Camp Constitution Radio`, this time without a commercial prologue
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
