** CANADA. 6977-USB, Sunday Feb 9 at 2223 while checking the Pirate
Band, instead find a CFARS net, mostly JBA inviting checkins from the
600`s. ``This is CIW311``, then contacting CIW401 loud and clear, and
CIW444. Most CFARS info is classified, login for members only, but

This has the net roster as public info:
http://www.cfarsoperations.ca/vncs.html

200 calls are BC, 300 Alberta then increase to 800's in the Maritimes.
Also linx to this:

showing CIW311 is Darcy, supposed to be NCS Feb 16, not today (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185.69, Feb 9 at 2221, music JBM as XEPPM is still way
off-frequency; 6185.771, Feb 10 at 1504, JBM carrier remeasured, at a
time when otherwise it is difficult to confirm it`s really Radio
Educación on the air far beyond its nominal evening-only schedule. Or
was: WRTH 2020 says 1400-0500 and calls it instead Señal Cultura
México with 5 kW. Of course during standard time until first Sunday in
April it runs until 0600v* UT = local midnite, but starting when?

Current program grid here below several other outlets shows on air
only at 17-24 local time = 23-06 UT:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11560, Feb 9 at 2106, anti-Christ pirate, Station
YHWH is back, JBA voice of Josiah, tnx to tip from Rick Barton, AZ, on
the WOR iog. Already off at 2136 recheck. Sweeps past 7470 following
evening did not find him back on his prime frequency, where Rick and I
had last logged him January 10. And no other reports since then (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Re my report of 1319.96, KCLI Clinton, mentioning in ID,
KWEY HD-4, Fredrik Douren points out that KWEY does have an FM, 18+ kW
on 95.5 -- but no info about its HD subchannels. Stephen Luce, Houston
TX, also replies:

``Glenn, yes, there are FMs with HD-4 subchannels; we have a few of
those here in Houston. Probably the limit as available allocated
bandwidth would otherwise be too narrow for decent audio--I have never
heard of anyone running an HD-5.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2020 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
February 9 at 2130 on WRMI 7780, JBA here at S9 vs noise level.

Also confirmed, UT Monday February 10 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, fair-good
via UTwente SDR in Holland.

Also confirmed, UT Mon Feb 10 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, good via UTwente;
and 9395 aimed NNW is JBA over there. Also confirmed on WRN webcast
almost synchronised with 7780.

Also confirmed, UT Mon Feb 10 starting at 0401 on Area 51 webcast; via
WBCQ 5130 checked at 0427 it`s good here S9+10, altho not making it to
the Peoria IL KiwiSDR.

Also confirmed, UT Mon Feb 10 at 0430, JBA carrier here vs Cuban pulse
jamming; but VG at Rockport ME KiwiSDR, way atop JBA jamming.

Also confirmed, Mon Feb 10 from about 1901 on IRRS 7290 via Romania?
VG via UTwente SDR. Carrier already on at 1857, JIP Aida theme about
1900:18, lost internet connexion here but WOR must`ve started. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490.15v, Sun Feb 9 at 2220, WBCQ S9+20 with `Marion`s
Attic`.

BTW, I understand that a similar voice heard on GRITS Radio was Brad
Read, the host of GRITS. Someone who heard more of the latest show
says it was announced by his wife, Val, that he has a malignant tumor
on vocal cords or larynx. Doctors believe that radiation will take
care of the problem and he is scheduled to do so shortly and expected
to recover fully (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15825, Feb 10 at 1545, WWCR-1 again boosted to S9+20 by
winter HF sporadic E, still squealing; 13845 also way above normal
level. DXmap shows MUF of 21-29-56 MHz over MI and adjacent ON, not
the right spot for this path which must have a blob at least 16 MHz
halfway between here and Nashville. By 1748 recheck, there`s 23 MHz
over NW corner of TN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Feb 9 at 1452, RHC is distorted here and much stronger
than // 15230, which is not only distorted but also suppressed
modulation = suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1319.96 kHz, Feb 9 at 1859 UT, KCLI Clinton continues to
modulate, partial ID mentions KWEY HD-4(?), 1900 into Fox Sports
Radio. This time soon after local mean noon, no CCI from KWHN Fort
Smith. KWEY is 1590 in nearby Weatherford, once(?) a competitor yet
now jointly owned with KCLI, so there could be some cross-pollination,
but is there any such thing as HD-4? Maybe I misheard. Usual
references FCC and otherwise do not provide full, or any, info about
what`s on all those IBOC subchannels! It seems that neither KCLI nor
KWEY has a full FM counterpart, only translators (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 410-MCW kHz, re my log of NDBeacon JU, Harold Frodge agrees
that he and Ken Zichi in Michigan have also logged it, not JUH:
``410 JU 1.0 Jefferson NC, Ashe County A/P; 02, 23 Nov, 03 Dec (HF),
04 Nov (KZ,HF)`` --- meaning 2019y? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2020 monitoring: Ivo Ivanov,
Bulgaria reports: ``Fair signal of World of Radio#2020 and Shortwave
Radiogram#138 on February 8: 1300-1330 on 15770 RMI 100 kW / 044 deg

Also confirmed UT Sun Feb 9 at 0524 UT about 16 minutes into so
started very late circa 0508 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO. Earlier was good
reception direct but later I`m listening via Peoria IL KiwiSDR.
Houston AMSAT net recording was playing until 0456 when ARRL News

** U S A. 15825, Feb 9 at 1857, WWCR-1 hits S9+10/20, far more than
usual JBA, plenty to audiblize the squeal still spouting from this
transmitter: ergo, winter HF sporadic E opening. 15610 WEWN also
stronger than usual, S6-S8, getting ready to start with Salve Regina
prologue. Lower WWCRs also abnormally strengthened, 13845 S8-S9; 12160
S9+20/30 with `Martha Garvin Musical Memories` after 1900. Then I
check the dxmap for Es and some paths show just the right spots
between us for MUF blobs of 15 and 28 MHz. In these solar cycle
doldrums we cannot even depend on a bigsig daytime from 12160 WWCR.
BTW, WWCR program schedules have now been updated as of Feb 1:

** ALASKA. 11755, Feb 8 at 1511, expressive/assertive talk by OM in
Russian, presumably gospel huxter, response by YL with some laughter.
KNLS is now scheduled here this hour in HFCC as the only 11755
anywhen, anywhere (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9665-9667, Feb 9 at 0142, no signal from Voz Missionária,
usually the strongest ZY remaining on 31m; propagation OK since I have
a JBA signal on 9818.6 where R. Nove de Julho resides. Aparecida
appears on 9630.3 much weaker than VM would be, hetting another weakie
on 9630.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 335-MCW kHz, Feb 8 at 0708 UT, dash and YLD, ND beacon,
1000 watts from Chapleau, Ontario.

351-MCW kHz, Feb 8 at 0710 UT, dash and YKQ, NDB, 500 watts from Fort
Rupert - Waskaganish, Quebec.

406-MCW kHz, Feb 8 at 0718 UT, dash and YLJ, NDB 40 watts from Meadow
Lake, Saskatchewan; noise level is lower in the 400s than the 300s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also USA for two more

** CUBA [and non]. 6145, Feb 8 at 0528, RHC English undermodulated
S9+10 mixing about equally with another station, better modulation,
i.e. RRI in Romanian this hour intended no further than France. Both
would be in clear if RHC had stayed on 6165; but before and after
05-06, would conflict with other Europeans. Meanwhile, 6100 is
S9+20/30 but JBM, and so is 6000; 6060 is still in Spanish; and so is
5040 at 0534 and squealing too.

6145, Feb 8 at 0655, S9+10 and undermodulated; 6100 S9+30/40 and UM;
6000 S9+20/30 and suptorted; only 6060 with good modulation and
S9+30/40 now in English and so is 5040 and squealing too. Something`s
always wrong at RHC ::: (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Feb 8 at 1501, this RHC is S9 but distorted; usually
its mod is OK, while // 15140 at S9+30 continues to be distorted.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13835, 13767, 13633, 13566, 13495 approx. vs CODAR, Feb 8 at
1504, FM/AM spurblobs with F# whine out of 13700-AM RHC, ~67 kHz
intervals, but each so wide it`s hard to pin them. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13610, 13674, 13806 approx., Feb 8 at 2318, FM/AM spurblobs
with F# tone at about 65 kHz intervals out of 13740-AM RHC, no doubt
same defective transmitter as in the mornings on 13700. Another might
be around 13870 but blocked by RTTY. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15370, Feb 8 at 2320, RHC Spanish S9+20 but distorted, OSOB,
about the same sound as on mushy // 5040. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5820, Feb 9 at 0110, VP M&W in English mentioning some www.
and music. Nothing listed here and doubt it`s one of those Denmark
stations. Rather a leapfrog mixing product of 6180 CRI relay over 6000
RHC another 180 kHz beyond, both Quivicán site per Aoki/NDXC. But
neither he nor EiBi will make an entry for this real transmission on
5820. I did not think at the time to check for // audio, but this has
been reported before. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5010-5040, Feb 9 at 0135, Radio Rebelde is splattering out to
this range from 5025; while RHC is also splattering out to 5030-5050
from its 5040; axually, can`t tell where one transition to the other
between 5025 and 5040. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185.7, Feb 8 at 0117, undermodulated talk; 0153 still with
jazz, also suptorted, typical of Radio Educación --- and there is no
signal on 6185.0. Someone must have bumped the XEPPM transmitter. At
least puts it a little further from the collision on 6180 but still
getting splashed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 4045-USB, Feb 9 at 0119, S9+20 of blues, but already
off at 0124 check after some other tuning.

Many posts here say it`s Ze-ke`s Attic, which moved to 4107 at 0126:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,63065.0.html
This thread covers logs on both frequencies.

4107-USB, I independently find him here at 0147, blues? song at S9+10,
0148 DJ Ze-ke recognized saying he`s waiting for a report from the
Mojave Desert; 0149 a familiar torch song, which someapp IDs as
``What`s New`` by Billie Holiday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU. 5980, Feb 8 at 2344, JBA carrier, and like the last few
nights I am not hearing any Cuban jamming above the general band noise
level. It won`t be long before Radio Chaski cutoff be too much before
night here if it stay around this time. At 14 degrees south, its
sunset varies only about one hour over the course of a year, as early
as 2230 in June, currently 2320; but ours gets later and later, 0005
UT now, a semihour later in a month. Anyhow, tonight the autocutoff
comes at 2352:59.5* having surpassed 2353:00. Last check was Feb 3
until 2353:10.5, i.e. 11 seconds later, 5 days earlier, averaging 2.2
seconds earlier per noctem (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960-, Feb 8 at 2328 no signal from VOT English,
only a JBA carrier offset-minus from XJPBS, EAST TURKISTAN, so Mighty
KBC may be clear tonight. Oops, 2343 recheck, VOT is on very late with
music at S9/+10. 2355 IS is still running; 2356 pause and restart IS,
now with one German ID at 2356:48 before cuts off at 2357:45*, just in
time for The Mighty Farty KBC, which lux out again (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 379-MCW kHz, Feb 8 at 0712 UT, ND beacon copied as RSE on
380, but nonesuch listed. Probably really RUE, 25 watts in
Russellville, Arkansas.

410-MCW kHz, Feb 8 at 0720 UT, ND beacon JU, but nonesuch listed at
dxinfocentre. Maybe 25-watt JUH, Jefferson - Ashe, North Carolina.
Could it be miskeying? Was not hearing an H. Classaxe.com in fact does
show that one as JU only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5130.0, Feb 8 at 2355, this WBCQ is S9/+10 as IS and ID loop
plays prior to Saturday`s Area 51. Seems a better signal now than we
had been getting from it. Sometime after 0100 Feb 9, it`s GRITS Radio
with someone sounding rather like Marion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5950, Feb 9 at 0124, WRMI is OFF, a rarity for this 24-hour
service; but no help for 5952.4v Bolivia, which is also off despite
being Saturday night. If 5950 still off around 0300, would be good for
Ethiopia; but I`m busy listening then to `Weekend Radio` on WCLV
webcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, (and parasitic JBA spurs 5072.1 and 5097.9), UT Sun
Feb 9 at 0120, Bob Heil is talking on WTWW-2, evidently just starting
his anonymous theatre organ show at very odd time, which I continue to
enjoy from one radio to one ear while DXing another radio into the
other ear. Ends at 0152 with WTWW ID and promos (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A [and non]. 1090, Feb 8 at 0700:50 to 0705:30 duration of SRN
News hole of dead air after illegal ID as ``AM 1090 KAAY`` failing to
specify Little Rock CoL, and before resuming with gospel music. During

SAH and another very weak unID with music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 15460, Feb 8 at 1459-1500* vocoder song, poor. HFCC shows
it`s USAGM 14-15 Sat & Sun only in Kin-yarwanda, i.e. VOA via SMG

MI US states at 07.40 UT on Sunday Febr 9. Bossa Nova like Cuban music
rhythm played. 20 kHz wide audioband block visible on screen.

like CA and MI states, and Enid OK of course too main lobe target.

JBA signal level, poor S=4 -110dBm in MA, fair S=7 -87dBm in NJ,
