I'm spending 10 days here in Masset. Usually, most of the time is spent
repairing, replacing, and upgrading the set up I have here. Still, I've
had some time to enjoy the fruits of my labour. Propagation started quite
good when I arrived on Thursday, but today (Sunday), has really gone
downhill. Even so, I'm listening to UK's TalkSport on 1089 which is
equal in strength to Seattle's KPTR on 1090...and 1485 from Svalbard with
only 1 kW, is once again booming in like a local playing macho man! Got
to love this hobby! In any case, here are a few of my logs from the past
3 days. 73, Walt

ASCENSION ISLAND 7285, 0555-, BBCWS Jan 19 Several frequencies available
during this hour. 7285 is fair/good, // to another Ascension transmitter,
9410 (good/very good) 125 kW/27 deg. Both with a rumble audible. Also //
17690 via UAE Dhabayya with 250 kW/215 deg, at excellent level. (Salmaniw,
Masset, BC)

BOTSWANA 9775, 0300-, VOA Jan 19 Excellent reception in English via
Botswana, and // to 4930 (good) also from Botswana with 100 kW/20 deg, and
6080 (fair) also from Botswana with 100 kW/350 deg. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

BOTSWANA 15580, 0545-, VOA Jan 19 Excellent level with English VOA
programming. VOA from Botswana is always a good performer into Masset,
even though it's over 16,000 km away!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

ECUADOR 6050, 0419-0500, HCJB Jan 19 Spanich music programming, not
sounding at all religous. Gave me a good opportunity to test all of my
antennas, and best heard on the new 110 deg 600' Beverage antenna. Fair to
sometimes good reception. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

EGYPT 9890, 1910-, Radio Cairo Jan 18 Supposed to have their Russian
service here. Instead, just a strong open carrier without even a hint of
modulation!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

GERMANY 1705, 1705-, Channel 292 Jan 18 Encore classical music program
would be perfectly well heard except for super-strong CRI Hausa on 9665
(500 kW/283 deg via Kunming). Have to use SAU to avoid splatter.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

GERMANY 13590, 1908-, VOA Jan 18 Good reception with an English modern
music show, complete with DJ. VOA ID at 19:09. Targetting central Africa.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

GERMANY 15460, 1730-, AWR Jan 18 Very strong reception. Carrier on at
17:28 in listed Afaan Oromoo (?huh?). Began with piano and an expression
repeated over and over. Interesting that on Sunday, there was a crash
start about 30 seconds late, with AWR IDs in English. Again, very strong.
Nice to hear AWR from more than 1 transmitter site again!. (Salmaniw,
Masset, BC)

IRAN 11880, 1920-, Voice of the Islamic Republic of Iran Jan 18 A good S7
carrier, suddenly on at 19:20 but with zero modulation. I guess they're
copying Cairo now! Listed to South Africa, and confirmed lack of
modulation using a South African SDR. Supposed to be in English.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

OMAN 12095, 1709-, BBCWS Jan 19 Superb reception with a sports play by
play. Sigh!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

ROMANIA 7325, 0124-, Radio Romania International Jan 19 Very good level in
English to ECNA. Romania for years now, is the station to emulate.
Interesting programs with superb technical parameters. May they exist for
many more years!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

ROMANIA 9510, 0400-, Radio Romania International Jan 19 English to WCNA at
excellent level. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

ROMANIA 9720, 1704-, Radio Romania International Jan 18 100% copy noted
with French language. Not propagating very well the next morning, however.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

TAIWAN (NON) 9790, 1712-, Radio Taiwan International Jan 18 Very good
reception using the transmitting services from Sofia, Bulgaria. Russian
language programming. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

TAJIKISTAN 7245, 0247-, Voice of Tajik Jan 19 Good reception in presumed
Tajik and every bit as strong compared to a Novosibirsk SDR. Minor ham
QRM. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

THAILAND 6080, 1713-, VOA Jan 18 English programming at very good level
from Thailand. // 17895 excellent (Botswana with 100 kW/350 deg), and
11850 good to very good (Kuwait with 100 kW/210 degrees). Plenty of good
frequencies to choose from!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES 11785, 1621-, World Radio Network Vsemirnaya Radio Jan
19 Superb S9+40 signal strength with Russian (not from Russia)
programming. Rechecking at 16:40, it was from Radio Slovakia
International. At 16:58, WRN announcement in Russian, concluding the
program and mentioning the correct times and frequency. (Salmaniw, Masset,
BC)

UNITED KINGDOM 9535, 0600-, Radio Ndarason International Jan 19 While
waiting for VOA on 9550, I noticed a crash start on 9535, at good to very
good level, mentioning Ghana, and Mali, in presumed Kanuri. By the way,
9550 didn't come on until 06:03 (VOA English from Botswana). (Salmaniw,
Masset, BC)

USA 9955, 0100-, World of Radio Jan 19 Glenn's own program at good to very
good level into Masset, even though transmitting in the opposite
direction!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

UZBEKISTAN 6035, 0119-, BBCWS Jan 19 Fair reception via Tashkent, with much
better // from Oman on 7410 (250 kW/63 deg) at good to very good level.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

VIETNAM 9730, 1715-, Voice of Vietnam Jan 18 Very strong reception in
Vietnamese. Seems to be spot on channel, unlike in past years where the
transmitters were always off-channel. Also heard the following day at
16:30 in Russian with an S9+20 signal. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

VIETNAM 11885, 1900-, Voice of Vietnam Jan 18 English programming at good
level. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)

** CHINA. 11590, Sun Jan 19 at 1550, chanting in Chinese, S9+20/25 //
slightly stronger S9+20/30 on 11670. Both CNR1 jammers against RFA in
Chinese: per Eibi at 1500-1600 Sat/Sun only on 11590 via Kuwait; while
11670 is via Tinang, Philippines, daily at 1500-1600. Only jammers
audible here, not victims (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Jan 19 at 0707, R. Rebelde is on with music, S9+25/35
direct. The Other Side:

``Biden's Actions Spark Outrage, But Not Surprise --- President Joe
Biden did not squander his last chance to bolster Cuba’s totalitarian
mafia state.
Juan Antonio Blanco, Miami 15 Ene 2025 - 19:40 CET

President Joe Biden did not squander his last chance to bolster Cuba’s
totalitarian mafia state. Flouting the opinions of members of both
U.S. parties and the communities of Cuban and Venezuelan exiles, he
once again pressured the leaders of various security agencies to
implement his decision.

It is always "possible to do more," as Fidel Castro liked to say.
Indeed, it is always possible to stoop lower: the US president struck
Cuba from the list of State Supporters of Terrorism, and adopted other
last-minute, highly sensitive measures, in collusion with the regime
in Havana, and carried out in the dark a premeditated and malicious
manner.

After this outrageous decision - not only undermining the interests of
Cubans, but of Americans themselves - it is hard to imagine what else
the magician in the White House might pull out of his time-worn hat
before he stepping off the stage for good.

Why is this decision indescribably vile?...``

One may also contribute via PayPal in US funds but not necessarily, to
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Jan 19 at 1554, weak beepery on WRMI, `SW Radiogram`
as sked at 1530 on WRMI-3. Could not make out any voice announcement
at end, 1600 into TOMBS. Transmitter skedgrid claims #3 at 1600-1700
with TOMBS on 9955 Saturday only, but this is Sunday. System E sked
shows 9955 `weekends only` at 1500-1600, not after 1600. System B sked
shows 9955 with WRN Sundays only at 1600, cut to internet only at
1630: just more self-contradixions by WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Jan 19 at 1553, no signal direct from WLCR on WBCQ;
what`s wrong? Also zilch into UTwente at 1627, Maryland SDR at 1628.
Back on by 1937 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 15565, Jan 19 at 1544, VR in Amharic, once again with
incredibly strong signal, S9+20/30 supposedly aimed oppositely. Only
other comparable sig on band is 15150 WMLK, the SSOBs. If anything in
Europe were aiming for N America it should be even bigger, but how
about simulsigs from Europe aimed anywhere on 19m?

13830, Jan 19 at 1546, //15565 in Amharic, almost as strong, S9+15/25
direct and the only significant extracontinental signal on this band.
But 13830 switches to Madagascar relay at 1600 for Swahili (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11529.9, Jan 19 at 1547, S6 JBA music, probably from
Hikari FM, NAm pirate, and seems to be another signal near 11530, such
as Dengê Gel or Turkish jammer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS

Hello Glenn, I wanted to express my gratitude towards your work on
World of Radio. This is not the first time I have donated to you, but
in these times when stations and transmitter centers close down for
good, I feel that you keep this DXing community informed. I truly hope
you are able (and willing) to continue in 2025, and maybe, by some
game of destiny, you can reach WOR #3000. Thanks for all the effort,
and I wish you the best. I hope you have enjoyed the holiday season.
Much appreciated, Moises Corilloclla, Rego Park, NY
