** CANADA. 6754 USB, Feb 19 at 0722, Trenton Military, ``No Report
Received`` from Calgary, Cold Lake, Winnipeg, Edmonton, and repeating.
Standard derision. Are any reports ever received now? Those with more
patience may keep listening longer. Meanwhile 10051 USB Gander as
usual funxional including Calgary too. At 1627, no CHR signal on day
frequency 15034 USB; while 15150 WMLK is quite audible, S9+25 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. I`ve been remiss lately in not denouncing
imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems,
whenever the land of E.T. come up - if you think this exaggerate,
watch THE BROKEN PROMISE which aired on PBS Tuesday night and maybe
repeats: https://www.thebrokenpromisefilm.com/
It deals with far too many instances of genocide, prominent among
them, ``Xinjiang`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11529.9, Feb 19 at 1621, S4/S5 music from ex-Hikari
FM, pirate. Numerous logs of it by Rick Barton, Sun City AZ, on
``11530+/-``: Feb 18 at 1700; Feb 16 at 1630, 1715, 2200+; Feb 14 at
*1725, all day, fadeout by 0030; Feb 13 at 2230 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 12100 USB, Feb 19 at 2005, mostly non-vocal hard
rock and pause for YL ID as ``From the United States of America, Mix
Radio International, Worldwide``, S7 into Maryland SDR. Many more
frequent IDs, such as at 2030. Continuing at rechex 2117, 2158, 2227.
At 2120 I tuned it direct: S7/S8, compared to WEWN 12050 S9+15/20. Tnx
to original tip from Eric Fetters-Walp on WOR iog. More reports here:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,141171.0.html
So if they assert to be in USA, we don`t need to vagueize it to NAm?
It`s considered poor form for DXers to try to locate pirates, but I
privately run TDOA and get some totally contradictory results, as
usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17755, Wed Feb 19 at 1613, the only REE, S8/9+5, rarely
sufficient direct to here instead of Africa; as 12030 for ME is still
AWOL and WHem channels 9690 & 17715 do not start until 1900 weekdays.
By 2300 for token English, into UTwente we only hear 9690, with 17715
& 17755 presumably not propagating in the nightmiddle. Initial subject
is emergency EU summit conference, tnx to Felodent Drumpf siding with
Putin over ``dictator`` Zelenskyy (Glenn Hauser, OK WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 9660, Feb 19 at 1728, VOT IS with ID in Spanish!
VG S9+20/25 into UTwente. TS at 1730 and s/on English as if it were
1330 on 13635. Somethings always awry at Ankara. Preview of an unnamed
feature, Sports Panorama and Turkish music, into news; 1741 music.
1746 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 1748 music. 1758 about comparative
linguistix, words/concepts which are untranslatable from one language
to another, with many examples, from the journal Science? Did not
catch title of this segment, if any. 1803 music. 1807 Sports Panorama,
yawn. 1815 music. 1821 multi-lingual ID filler reel again! 1823 s/off
as if 1330 on 13635 - something`s always awry at Ankara. 1824 IS.
Chopoff at 1824.7*

6050, Feb 19 at 2013, English also confirmed on 1930 emission,
S9+30/45 into UTwente. Did not check the 2130 on 9610; but at 2300,
5960 is absent, and back to its old trix, 9610.003 is still on
instead, at S9+60! into UTwente. No doubt a repeat of 1930 repeat of
1730 repeat of 1330. Stays on 9610+ to 2355.6* chopoff amid IS.

It so happens that at the very same time, 2300 UT Feb 19, PBS Create
channel features a Rick Steves` Europe [sic] episode on Istanbul!
which is much more informative. At least on OETA-3 in OK, repeats at
0300 & 1000 UT Feb 20:

``Where Europe comes face to face with Asia, we'll explore the
fascinating, multilayered city of Istanbul. We'll lose our way in the
Grand Bazaar and feast like kings with locals at a fisherman's wharf.
We'll follow the fall of the Byzantium and the rise of Islam at the
city's ancient wall, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace. To
escape the city bustle, we'll board a boat on the churning Bosphorus,
make friends over backgammon, and try a traditional bath.`` But we
often wonder if old travelogs like this would hold up today, this one
(C) 2008; one can guess by how young Rick may look.

WRTH 2025 skips Turkey, International sexion page 588 going from
THAILAND to UKRAINE! WRTH 2024 still had it with Spanish at 1730 on
9495, English on 9660. And indeed simulSpanish is still on 9495. O,
there it is in 2025 WRTH: page 586, Türkiye alfabetized between
Switzerland and Taiwan. I don`t think U-umlaut falls before A even in
German.

As in my previous report, the 2130 & 2300 English broadcasts were back
on Monday Feb 17 but missing again on Tuesday Feb 18; missed checking
at 0400 UT Wednesday. Alan Roe tells me English did occur today Feb 19
at 1330 on 13635, and:

``TURKEY. As first reported on Monday 17th in the WOR iog mail list by
John Jurasek (VORW) and Craig Tyson, the English Service of TRT The
Voice of Turkey have resumed their programming - that is, the
broadcasts are no longer simply relays of TV audio of TRT World. I
listened on Tuesday and also confirmed that the regular English
presenters are back with VOT programming. It seems that the programme
schedule may have changed slightly compared to what was heard before
their hiatus with "Unscripted Twists of Fate" (previously heard on
Wednesdays) and a new programme "The First Quarter of the Millennium".

For anyone who's lost track of their English frequency schedule, it is:

1330-1425  13635
1730-1825  9660
1930-2025  6050
2130-2225  9610

as soon as I am able to. Alan Roe, Teddington, UK`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 338 MCW kHz, Feb 19 at 0711 UT, RYN, 400-watt non-direxional
beacon at Tucson / RYaN, Arizona. I hear this more often that much
closer TU, TUlsa OK. I wonder if the latest fatal small plane
collision today near Tucson could have been avoided by their
monitoring RYN better (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 18157 USB, Feb 19 at 1615, Dale in New Orleans contacting
someone in S Texas. Too close, must be sporadic E, MUF barely high

** CHINA. 11670 // 11725, Tue Feb 18 at 1512, huge VG signals S9+20/30
from CNR1 jammers: per EiBi, 11670 vs RFA Mandarin via Philippines
this hour only; 11725 vs RFA Mandarin via Kuwait, this hour only on
Tue & Thu only. Aoki fails to * that 11725 be jammed. No trace of
victims here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Feb 18 at 0730, R. Rebelde is OFF. Something`s always
wrong at RadioCuba. It had been ON earlier in evening (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Feb 18 at 1506, RHC music S9 but JBM. Is anyone ever
hearing any active RHC frequency besides this and 6000? Spanish
evenings on 9710 is not RHC as someone guessed, but CRI East
Turkistan. 9710 still shows on RHC website of grossly outdated info
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11529.9, Feb 18 at 1509, S6/S6 of JBA music on
signature off-frequency of ex-Hikari FM, in Mexico? Earlier than Rick
Barton reports it normally starting at 1700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9980, Feb 18 at 1504, S9+35/45 of dead air
from TOMBS via WWCR; but resumed in less than a minute. No idea how
many minutes or hours of DA preceded that (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 18 at 2300 past 2330, NO signal from VOT, or TRT.
VOT programming was ``back`` Feb 17, but neither on air today!
Likewise the 2130 broadcast on 9610, both checked via UTwente, hearing
only the Chinese no longer understations. So much for that; or, who
knows what`s next? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 26110 NBFM, Feb 18 at 1901, local weather, S5 far from full
quieting, from KMK282, aux of KOVR `13` Stockton CA (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

Tuesday February 18 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+20/40 into S Texas SDR.

Also confirmed Tuesday February 18 at 1400 on WRMI 9955, S9/+20
direct.

Also confirmed Tuesday February 18 at 1500 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 direct.
No problem from something on 9960, which would be VOA Philippines in

** U S A. 1530, Feb 18 at 0751 UT, Spanish briefly overcoming stupid
sports talk in English from WCKY, ``45 minutos de éxitos en La Raza,
104.9 y 95.1``.
Therefore it is: KZNX Creedmoor TX, U7 10000/220 watts per NRC AM Log,
but beware: another SS on 1530 is KXTD Wagoner OK also with FM on
104.9 but its other is 100.3, Qué Buena. KZNX`s 104.9 is KTXX-FM, 3.2
kW in Bee Cave. Its 95.1 is a mere translator, K236AT in Westlake
Hills TX, 99 watts. Radio-locator shows address 6633 E Hwy 290, Austin
TX 78723. But NRC Log shows address for KZNX in El Paso, tho Creedmoor
is south of Austin, a tiny town pop. 202 as of 2010y census; why does
it deserve such a station? U7 means 3 different direxional antenna
patterns for day, night, and critical hours, CH power being 1000
watts. Locator shows two different sites, nighttime SE of Austin
closer to Manor; day and CH south of Austin. If that`s not complex
enough, per NRC also has a PSRA power of 55 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 1670, Feb 18 at 0755, ``Black Information Network, Macon
1670``, easily surpassing local Enid pirate? Virtual DJ Radio, and
XEFCR Reynosa. That`s WMGE, CoL Dry Branch GA. That leaves WOZN
Madison WI sports the only other 1670 within easy range to here,
besides two Californians and a Quebeckian (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** YEMEN [non]. 11934.9, Feb 18 at 1505, and still 1849, poor signal
direct, presumed Arabic from Rep. of Yemen Radio, via SA`UDI ARABIA,
on signature very stable offset, and no ``jamming`` for a long time
now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6001, Feb 18 at 0515, nothing on 6000 but at UTwente
6000 USB tuning still audiblizes the beepery only. Previously about
this on-off-keying under CUBA [and non], ISRAEL, also maybe Norway?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11954.1, Feb 18 at 1850, JBA signal, also at 2004.
Nothing in EiBi or Aoki on 11955 at these times, but HFCC has NHK
Yamata, Japan registered 1900-0100 in Japanese at 290 degrees. Or
maybe a local birdie, but seems stable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

SPAIN. 9690, Mon Feb 17 at 2300, token English from SNR, VG direct
here, almost VG on 17715, audible on 17755 and still no signal on
12030. No news, but interview about Spain locations substituting for
USA in filming Westerns, etc. Guest had a heavy accent (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

TURKEY [and non]. 5960.003+, Feb 17 at 2335, Voice of Turkey is
back! Long talk about something by familiar OM voice, but no
segment/theme ID when finished, rather 2345 ``with-you-every-hour``
promo, music; lite 6CI JBA underneath. 2350 ``always-by-your-side``
promo, music. 2353 s/off just like in the old days, as if it`s only
the 1330 broadcast on 13635. 2354 IS. 2356 pause and restart IS with
German IDs. Chopoff at 2359:50 just in time to avoid an extraneous
German broadcast, and uncover the Chinese CCI. Something`s always awry
at Ankara, erroneous at Emirler! Many tnx to WOR reporters for
heads-up:

At 2312 from John VORW Jurasek: ``[WOR] Voice of Turkey English
Service appears to have resumed! This requires further monitoring but
as of 2300 UTC, I was surprised to hear the traditional English
Service of the Voice of Turkey on 5960 kHz instead of the TRT World
Television Audio, with the male announcer explicitly introducing the
broadcast with a "We're back".

Program contents are once again the mixture of news reports as well as
cultural features and Turkish musical selections. I haven't seen any
formal announcements of the reversal so it's probably worth checking
5960 kHz for the rest of the hour and 6125 kHz at 0400 UTC. Just a
heads-up! All the best, John, Central Florida``

And Craig Tyson, Perth, Western Australia at 2339: ``[WOR] VOT English
programming heard today and not TRT World feed on 9610 2130-2224 when
transmission cut. Maybe they are back to their old English programming
format? Also repeated at 2300 on 5960``

I have mixed feelings about this; as for the past sesquimonth I felt
no urge or ``obligation`` to monitor Turkey vs Spain, TV news, et al.
at 2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
