** CUBA. 9700, Jan 9 at 0722, only RHC channel still on, S9+20 and
undermodulated, as `Ed Newman` plays a clip from the US left-wing
`Democracy Now`, Amy Goodman reporting on migrants dying in the
English channel with no help from France or Britain. How about some
Democracy, now in Cuba? Ha2. I`m barely awake at 0805 so seek weekly
Esperanto which should be running now on one 6 MHz channel like 6100,
but nowhere to be found, not even 9700. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9899.6, Jan 9 at 2205, again no English signal from R. Cairo
into UTwente. But other transmissions continue:

``Remarkably well modulated signal. Jan. 9 at 1530 UT on 9440 in
Albanian. They CAN get it right if they try. Still the annoying buzz
on this particular transmitter. The other transmitter on 9900 has been
off air Jan. 3 through 8. Either it is undergoing repair or they have
given up. Strange that Albanian should get preference over the other
languages on their sked. Alan Holder, G4ZBH, Isle of Wight, U.K.``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6929.911 AM, Jan 8 at 2310, JBA S5/S6 pirate music
and talk. These say it`s Pandemic Radio:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also UNIDENTIFIED

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Jan 9 at 0228 and 0237+, jazz S4/S5 into
Maryland SDR. These logs had Outhouse Radio, but off at 0100*
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,91388.0.html
back on later or something else unreported? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Jan 8 at 2300, VOT English VG S9+35 into
UTwente, news about Kazakhstan. Today`s transmitter is the one with
good modulation and no squeal! Direct at 2312, it`s S8-S9, poor with
flutter, noise.

5959.979, Jan 9 at 0007, The Mighty KBC via Nauen, GERMANY, S9+18/20,
measured here but with ripple SAH, CCI into UTwente, probably not
Turkey bonus German but PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, land of
imperialist ChiCom genocide, per Aoki carrying CNR1 during this
semihour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2120 monitoring:: confirmed

Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5950, UT Sun Jan 9 at 0030-0045, WRMI with `Postcard
Panorama` of poetry and radio-related musings by Tammy Walker. Yes,
it`s a repeat of the original episode one week ago so we may expect a
new one monthly, with further chances to hear it this month on UT Jan
16, 23, 30. Solo `cello classical music filled from 0045, before 0100
Texas Radio SW with songs about Texas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (5085), UT Sun Jan 9 at 0100, WTWW-2 still with hamstuff,
`TOUTA` not yet despite previous weeks starting as much as 10 minutes
earlier. It is running by 0108, but I am mainly listening to `Encore`
classical music on WRMI 5850 which starts punxually at 0100! Heard
last few minutes of TOUTA until chopped abruptly at 0207 to ``CQ`` and
WTWW ID, back to rock music. Bob Heil had plugged listening to webcast
where it`s in stereo, my preference too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3215, UT Sun Jan 9 at 0025, no signal from WWRB when it
would normally be active weekends only; nor 3360 at 0217 Jan 9, the
new frequency it had been on for a few weeks.

If Dave Frantz died January 2 as reported, it might have still been on
UT Sun Jan 2 but not UT Mon Jan 3. My only check was Jan 3 at 0255
when not on 3360. My last log was: ``3215, Dec 26 at 2328, S9/+25 of
dead air from WWRB; not to be outdone by CUBA, some modulation missing
at Manchester`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3215, Jan 9 at 0217, WWCR-1 is not off the air; `Musical
Memories` with Martha Garvin hymning at her piano. It seems there will
be no more timesharing 3215 with WWRB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130 kHz, Jan 9 at 1747 UT, KLEY Wellington KS is still dead
air of S9+20; stronger than adjacent Okies on 1120 & 1140 which do
manage to modulate. Also noticed previous night as OC mixing with KWKH
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6114, Jan 9 at 0502, RTTY is rampant again, US Navy
Azores or Italy? Vs JBA carrier on 6115, Nikkei Japan already if not
Congo? It`s 1402 JST but near the shortest day of the year. Congo
supposedly not active where it`s 0602 LST equatorially; but EiBi
suggests variable opening around 0515 UT. No other 6115 stations are
known now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6930.923 AM, Jan 9 at 0234, JBA carrier S5-S6 into
Maryland SDR: no such pirate reported to HFU. K index at 00 was 5,
after G1 storm levels; down to 3 by 03 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Jan 8 at 1451, no signal from LRA36
into Brasil SDR this Saturday. Maybe really on summer hiatus now
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 4925-, Jan 8 at 0230, JBA talk, S8/9 with some flutter,
presumed the only station known on 4925, R. Educação Rural, Tefé,
Amazonas, known to be active but seldom heard here. Slightly low in
frequency compared to WWV 5000.00000. WRTH & Aoki claim until 0200*,
but EiBi to 0300* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 1610 kHz, UT Sat Jan 8 at 0253, CHHA Toronto is in Tagalog
about Philippine elexion, some English words mixed in, then New Year
song in English, or rather recitation with music background. Year-old
program grid:
http://chha1610am.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Parrilla-CHHA-ENE-2021.jpg
does show a Tagalog hour at 02-03 UT Tue-Sat. Website goes mainly by
call letters, but also Radio Voces Latinas. Some time ago I heard a
slogan ``La Voz de la Comunidad`` and this was spread widely as a
change from ``R-V-L-``, without any credit to me. On air I am not at
all sure there has been a formal change from one to the other. Perhaps
the `new` slogan should be lower-case. Note: Tagalog, as well as
Punjabi, English, also on sked are not Latinas! While Italian,
Portuguese, Spanish, do qualify (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Jan 8 at 0240, RHC English is S9+20/30 but
undermodulated with whine; while // 9700 only S8/9 but better
modulation. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 4030-AM, Jan 8 at 0233, JBA music. These say it`s
Ball Smacker Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,91328.0.html
Just before, I had heard no pirates on the 6.9 MHz band (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

Includes imaginary stations KIMF, WIPE, WHRI, something in Alaska

** U S A [and non]. 880, UT Sat Jan 8 at 0557, I`m checking remotes
near to KJJR Whitefish MT, an hour before its DX test is to begin, to
get a feel for the situation. Cœur d`Alène ID not much; there are two
in NW MT. I settle on the one at Huson, which is just NW of Missoula
on I-90, and about 99 miles due south of Whitefish, which is just
north of Kalispell. Jim Bohannon is just wrapping up on KRVN Lexington
NE, which is also the dominant signal direct to here. It beams
westward but broadly with 50 kW. I also hear an ``Oilers`` mention, no
doubt Edmonton AB, 50 kW CHQT, supposedly direxional NW except for a
very minor lobe toward KRVN.

At 0701 I resume listening via Huson, and immediately hear Morse VVV.
Got to be KJJR altho calls not copied. KRVN continues to be dominant
signal even in MT, Fox ``news``. KJJR is so weak under it that hard to
believe it`s really running 10 kW ND day power, but of course it is
mountainous in between. 0705 some C&W music but could be a third
station. Phone-off-hook pulses, sweeps upward as KRVN is starting `Our
American Stories`.

At 0710-0715 I monitor direct into my E/W longwire and R75, and do
hear high-pitched continuous tones at 0710 & 0711; sweeps upward at
0712. So I know I *have* DXed this direct. Recording inconvenient so I
will not qualify for QSL or even report to station/CPC.

0715-0718 I switch to my DX-398 with internal antenna on altazimuth
wrist mount, but nothing from KJJR even with KRVN nulled as much as
possible; but the two are too close to the same direxion.

0718.5-0720 trying R75 again, nothing but KRVN.

0724 back to Huson where I can make out sweeps, 0726 VVV and now a
string of maybe 5 KJJR IDs in Morse; 0729 touch-tone phone tones; slow
VVV, and then solid tone. I would have preferred more time devoted to
KJJR IDs than all those other sounds. Anyhow, tnx for the test. I
gather it was widely heard from Norway to Florida to Massachusetts
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
