Thursday, January 12 2023
 ** CANADA. 2598 USB, Jan 11 at 0740 UT, roboYL voice in English with marine weather for south coast, east coast of somewhere, presumably Newfoundland. Good S9 signal; slightly weaker S8 on 2749 USB at 0742 Jan 11 same voice but presumably different forecasts for Nova Scotia area. Once again these are first scheduled broadcasts of a new day for early-rising mariners: 2598 from 0737 is VCP-4 Placentia with 3000 watts; 2749 from 0740 is VCO Sydney with 550 watts. Each shares time with several other stations, per Metarea IV in https://dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6165, Jan 11 at 0727, S9 of dead air, in English or Spanish? only RHC still on, where something`s always wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 11 at 0726, V. of Nothing, no signal from Abuja (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORFOLK ISLAND. 5045, Radio DX: unfortunately not a log by me, as it was on short notice while I slept on, but Nick Hacko reactivated this SWBC radio country January 11 to make some tests, again like last April employing the ID I recorded for him as well as some World of Radio excerpts. Thanks to his notifying the WOR iog about this, there was a flurry of reports by those awake from 0741 past 1045, hearing it direct or via remotes. Perhaps he will be doing this again in the near future. Not 5055 as some had expected; and be careful as there may be a Queensland station also on 5045 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PERU. 4810, Jan 11 at 0729, JBA carrier vs heavy STANAG noise on 4810+. I`m always alert for anything here in my bandscans, since so few broadcasters are left on 60m, nothing detected for months at least in the nightmiddle. Suspected R. Logos, Chazuta, 1 kW, which as of WRTH 2022 deadline was double-daggered as inactive. TBM shows not reported since Sept 2022. No other BC stations now known anywhere, anywhen on 4810 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Jan 11 at 2305, token English from REE. Main feature by Hélena Rigobert is about a new modernized produxion of Purcell`s opera Dido & Aeneas opening Jan 17 in Madrid. Great music interspersed; 2318-2321 break for report from Lebanon correspondent about a church being completely vandalized by some Syrian. 2321-2330 fills with Act I of D&A, or part of it. VG S9+20/30 into Maryland SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 11 at 2300, VOT English, timesignal and news, S9+25/35 into UTwente but I`m mainly listening to simulSpain, q.v. 2330-2338 repeating `Weekly Commentary` about the CFA Franc; yesterday was placed much earlier in the hour. 2343-2349 another repeat, about the great kiwi fruit. See #4 below about title of this segment. This time I`m listening closely: could be ``Healing Supreme`?? Definitely a U between the S and P. 2352 s/off with sked, IS once to 2353* uncovering the CCCCCCI which had been underneathing all along. Alan Holder had replied to my logs: ``Hi Glenn, I hope you are in good health. I'm fine here at the moment. I always read your daily logs posted on the WOR io group site with much interest. I note that you are having difficulty in understanding some of the program names on VOT. Well, you are not alone, as I also have this problem (as I'm sure many others do). Some of the announcers have such thick accents, and this, coupled with signal fading, does not make for easy comprehension. Besides short wave, I have also listened carefully online and as far as I can make them out, here are some of the English program names: 1. Gripping Files 2. Turkey's Geo-marketed products 3. The 'Firsts' of Anatolia 4. Healing Spring {which I had concluded was `Feeling Supreme` -gh} The first title is a bit odd - probably translated from the Turkish word sürükleyici Either of the synonyms: intriguing, or fascinating might be more appropriate than gripping. Unfortunately they do not seem to have a native English speaker on staff. #4 Although nothing to do with the benefits of spring water, the program features the 'magical' healing properties of certain foods and other natural products. But I still think they could find a better title. You are right about the heavy accent of one of the lady announcers. And coupled with the constant fall and rise in intonation, I find listening to her delivery really annoying. Not wishing to be unkind, I really wonder why she was hired in the first place. Still no sign of the "Letterbox" program. The last edition was in August 2020 if I remember rightly. I think some of the announcers are working from home, as I can detect a "roomy echo" sometimes, instead of studio quality sound. All the best to you. Alan Holder, Isle of Wight`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2172 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. Dear Glenn: Confirming World of Radio #2172, Happy New Year 2023; WRMI Facebook page is not being kept updated and current, check in this. WRMI: 5850, slight QRN, 0133, 0145 (55433), 0159, January 7 UTC, 2023 [Sat] 9395, 0130, 0156 (45343), 0158, January 10 UTC 2023 [Tue] 9395, 0030, 0049, 0058 (55433-4), 0058, January 11 UTC 2023 [Wed] 5850, 1028, 1030 (55433), 1029, January 11 UTC 2023 [Wed] (Lemke, Richard -AB)`` Confirmed UT Wednesday January 11 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+20/30 into Missouri SDR, better than S9/+10 vs HNL into Lincoln NE. As always, preceding program `Midnight Cry` chopped off at 0029 before could finish uttering their URL. And my very last word, ``disclaimer`` at 0059 stepped upon by music fill: ain`t inhuman automation wonderful? Also confirmed Wednesday January 11 at 1041 the 1030 on WRMI 5850, VG direct when I happen to awaken briefly. Also confirmed Wednesday January 11 at 2202 tune-in the 2200 on WBCQ 7490 minus 64 Hz = 7489.936, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR. Later found this from WBCQ sent at 2044: ``Hi Glenn, After 24 years on 7490, Financial Survival has left the WBCQ airways. It was a great run with Melody and Jim Cedarstrom. Melody is moving on with other ventures. We thank them for their loyal patronage all these years. Replacing their time slot [Wed 2100-2200] is American Classics with Pirate Joe. Fantastic, great old music, much plated on original 78 rpm records. Together with Radio Angela programming, WBCQ strives to bring the best variety of programming to the shortwave radio world. Thanks, Allan & Angela Weiner, WBCQ Radio`` --- Shux, I missed hearing their neat closing theme tune for the last time just before WOR, nothing else. F.S. had also been simulcast on WWCR, gone there too?

Vanuatu but not on 11835, no doubt depending on night-path MUFs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 5051.0, Jan 11 at 0736, mystery open carrier, S7/S9 is back after missing a night or two. Meanwhile someone noted some others like it ending in 51 elsewhere on SW, possibly related (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 7390.057, Jan 11 at 0724, JBA off-frequency carrier. Aoki & EiBi have nothing scheduled now, but RFI until 0700, CRI from 1000. An RNZ frequency of course, but not until 1300. HFCC also shows a wooden alternate? registration for WWCR on 85 degree antenna at 1400-2000, never activated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0056 UT January 12

 ** CHINA [non]. 5910, Jan 10 at 0342, S9+20/30 of dead air except for some hum, instead of CRI/CGTN in English, scheduled via CUBA at 03-05 in English, Cantonese. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 4765, Jan 10 at 0337, no signal from R. Progreso. Have not been checking for it much during short nominal sked, 0130-0500; has anyone heard it lately? Only other 60mb Cubans, 5040 RHC and 5025 Rebelde are also off, tho 5025 is sometimes on. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Jan 10 at 0722, no signal detectable from R. Kiribati, nor any other 9/kHz JBA split carriers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.018, Jan 10 at 2304, VOT English is on today but with hum and way undermodulated, S9+30 into UTwente. By 2312 the CCCCCCI from EAST TURKISTAN is on adding to the QRM and making a rippling SAH since VOT is so far off-frequency. 2312-2328 `Weekly Commentary` about the CFA Franc and Africa solving its own problems; 2332 next feature whose title I can never understand, something about Tuerkiye`s Geo-something. Sign off and cut carrier at 2353* after only a few notes of IS, no finesse --- either that or an extra hour in German. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 344 MCW kHz, Jan 10 at 0727 UT, JA, 400-watt ND beacon at JAxonvil FL, first heard tuned to 341 USB, along with EI EnId and OIN OberlIN KS; also audible on 342 but did not realize it`s really on 344 until uplooked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 13563.5 CW, Jan 10 at 2102, dash and PCO, HIFER beacon at Pine, ColoradO. Seems several repetitions between dashes but uncounted, JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2172 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday January 10 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9/+20 direct; 0152 recheck faded way down to S9/S5 with propagation disturbance, but back up after 0200. Next: 0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035 USB [low power] 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v OR 5130v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Like our website, a noncommercial service for which financial support is appreciated. Thanks this week to William Hassig, Mt Prospect IL, for an Xmas CD and check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid, OK 73702 One may also contribute by PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330v, Jan 10 at 0735, 1544, 2105 random chex, no signal from WLCR/WBCQ-6, so never on today? Wonder what`s the problem now. Still no sign of frequency-agile capability (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, Jan 10 at 0010 notes from a phone call by George McClintock of the real WTWW: 5085 #2 transmitter is now running 75 kW to conserve electricity altho capable of 105. Ted ``destroyed commercial broadcasting`` on the non-SFA transmitter as it has been difficult to regain clients, who concluded SW is no good. Anyhow, #1 transmitter is disabled, lacking 8 cards to make it run at no more than 75-80 kW. Has not had a chance to get #2`s 9 MHz daytime frequency operational. Has photographic evidence of the messes Ted left, even worse than the ones already sent me. 5085, Jan 10 at 0338, SFA talking about something happening in March 2022, so it`s not limited to hoary decade-old recordings of PPPP. At least did not seem like a prophecy (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7890, Jan 10 at 0747, JBA carrier from R. Vanuatu X2, but nothing audible on X3, 11835 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0020 UT January 11

Tuesday, January 10 2023
 ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, re my not hearing LRA36 in ``Log report Jan 7th 2023 --- When I‘ve tried to find out if RNA was on or not, i.e. already around 1440 UT, nothing of a signal came in via any of the relevant SDR spots like Uruguay or even Brazil (Pardinho) or those you‘ve already mentioned. 73 Joachim Kornek, Dortmund, Germany`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 7665, Jan 9 at 1625 music and 1626 Chinese, S6/S9 with flutter, not expecting to hear anything so late on this band; NZ 7390 JBA carrier leaving this the SSOB. Must be CNR1 jammer from eastern China rather than target RFA Mandarin via Tajikistan at 15-17 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MADAGASCAR. 9765, Jan 9 at 2240-2255, found some music here to accompany a seminap: barbershop quartet? with gospel harmonies in English, with occasional interruptions by hyper announcer of `Palavra Alegre` in Brazuguese from MWV. S9/+10 but with very heavy flutter adding to the effect, despite trans-equatorial path to here rather than to target Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 9 at 0741, VON on at S9/+10 but JBM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Mon Jan 9 at 2300, token English from REE to North America, VG into Maryland SDR and don`t explore the others. Switching back and forth with simulTurkey, q.v. 2308 sports news about golf refers to something called a ``boogie``, 2309 things being calmer in Spain than Brasil; 2314 asking for email or whatsapp contacts. 2315 about a Picasso/Chanel exhibition (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Jan 9 at 2300, VOT English VG S9+40 into UTwente and good modulation level except for light squeal. I`m switching back and forth with SimulSpain, q.v. After news, 2309 `Review of the Turkish Press`; By 2315 the CCCCCCI carrier from XJPBS, East Turkistan, std denunciation seems to be depressing the sound heard from Turkey with its undercurrent. 2318, `Feeling Supreme` about the great health benefits of kiwi fruit, antioxidant, etc. 2324 music break; 2330 something about preserving Turkish culture (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2172 monitoring: Also confirmed Sunday January 8 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, S9+10/18 with little QRM. Also confirmed UT Monday January 9 at 0041 the 0030 on WRMI 7780, S5/9+12 into Maurice LA SDR. Also confirmed UT Monday January 9 from 0402 on WBCQ Area 51, 6160 minus 62 Hz, S9+5 into Maryland SDR = 6159.938. Fortnightly John P Lightning didn`t gotta go until 0401. Next: 0130 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035 USB [low power] 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v OR 5130v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Like our website, a noncommercial service for which financial support is appreciated.

What`s wrong, more weekday work? Has been mostly on when checked elsewhen such as after 0700 today and circa 2235 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7890, Jan 9 at 0735, R. Vanuatu a JBA carrier, but better than the JJBBA carrier on 11835; harmonix of 3945. Other Jan 9 reports: Gary Pence, KM5X: ``Vanuatu is S8 to S9+10db into AI6VN/HH6 rSDR in Maui on 7890 and little stronger on 11835 from 0701z To 0712z. News broadcast in Bislama, English reporting on earthquake damage and flooding including all local news. I don't think it was major damage but report I heard at ToH was from a news correspondent in Bougainville, then the rest of the news followed. gp`` Ron Howard: ``Jan 9 - Radio Vanuatu not affected by quake. 7260 at 0605+ UT, with end of the news/sports and start of RV promo; lots of island music; 0657, start of commercial announcements ("Media enterprises," etc.); cut off just at 0659*; no QRM (no Mongolia); *0659, heard on harmonic 7890, while 3945 and 11835H were not heard. Ron, California`` Heavy flooding and landslides reported along California coast such as Santa Cruz; hope not so bad circa Monterey (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0040 UT January 10

** CHINA [and non]. 11590, Jan 8 at 1607, S9/+10 Firedragon jamming, probably our best chance to hear it, but mixed with Chinese, either target RFA TINIAN or more likely another jammer with CNR1 programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 10080, Jan 8 at 0215, RHC Spanish S5/S7 direct but JBM, // much louder 9650. Transmitter once again mistuned to second harmonic of proper 5040 where nothing but a JBA carrier. At 0745, 10080 still on with Spanish newscast, no 5040. Something`s always wrong at RHC. EiBi now shows 10080 at 2200-0800; and as I outpointed when this initiated, victims are 10081 aero HF data linx of Shannon and San Francisco. See my Nov 21 report for more about HFDLs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5025, Jan 8 at 0217, R. Rebelde here and no 10050, S9+30/40 but overmodistorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser,OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6165, Jan 8 at 0743, only RHC English still on altho with S9 Spanish music at the moment but not // 10080 real Spanish service, q.v. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, Jan 8 at 1606, RHC is OFF, leaving only weak 15140 for Sunday Esperanto. Check various frequencies for it at 2130? 2230? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. Horacio Nigro has just reported that Arnie Coro died this morninng Jan 8 at age of 80. QEPD/RIP (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Jan 8 at 0753, no signal from R. Kiribati, presumably another Sunday silence; nor any other 9/kHz splits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 8 at 0749, no signal from VON. You never know whether it might have come and gone irregularly earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 USB, Jan 8 at 0225, rock music at S6/S7, the OPOB = only pirate on band, that is audible. These say it`s Two Dog Radio: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,107892.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SCOTLAND [non]. 5850, UT Sunday January 8 at 0100-0200, `Encore` classical music via WRMI, heard sufficiently well via Lincoln, Nebraska SDR. I heard only part of it on first airing UT Friday 0200 on 5850, inconvenient time. Another opportunity UT Monday 0300 on 5950 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.002+, Sat Jan 7 at 2307, VOT English is on, S9+20/30 into UTwente but somewhat undermodulated vs the CCCCCCI making them an almost equal intolerable mix, so I don`t try to listen for content. 2348 already playing IS, sign-off earlier than usual: except it`s still on, 2357 switching to German IDs interspersed. And stays on well past 0000 Jan 8 with yet another extraneous broadcast. No more clashing with The Mighty KBC which has left Nauen 5960 for WRMI 5950 22 hours later. For other reasons: KBC never showed any concern for the unpredictable collision with Turkey, sticking to 5960 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOWR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2172 monitoring: Bill Tilford says the WBCQ R. Angela airing succeeded this week, UT Sat Jan 7 at 0500 on 5130v.
New time on WRMI sked, Sat 2230 on 5850, 7730, 15770, so I`m all set Jan 7 to check these out, via remotes and direct, resulting in quite a confusing situation. To Missouri SDR, 5850 is S9/+20 but still music at 2230, WOR seems to start late at 2231. But this SDR keeps dropping out every few seconds, like buffering? Then I switch it to 15770 while Maryland and UTwente are getting no signal there altho aimed toward them. These interruptions add up, so Missouri is still playing WOR on 15770 until 2305.7! 7730 has been completely gone tho on the schedule: briefly I think I`m hearing WOR there, but it must have been a delay in remote activating frequency tuning change. Back to earlier in the semihour: on 5850, WOR interrupted by music, `Those Were the Days`, and at 2240, `Both Sides Now` heard direct on 5850.
Confirmed UT Sunday January 8 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/S5 into Maurice, Louisiana SDR which gets 7780 aimed SW from FL better than the others. Playout still starts with 10+ seconds of noise out of WRMI itself overriding my first words!
Confirmed UT Sunday January 8 starting at 0428 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+15/20 into neighborly SDR, but still with lots of storm noise no closer than the lightning line from SE TX across N LA and C/N MS. Next:
2100 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW 0400vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW [last week at 0431] 0130 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035 USB [low power] 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v OR 5130v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

Like our website, a noncommercial service for which financial support is appreciated. Thanks this week to William Hassig, Mt Prospect IL, for an Xmas CD and check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid, OK 73702
One may also contribute by PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5085, Jan 8 at 0219, WTWW with PPPP, very strong, still flanked by JBA spurs plus/minus 12.9 kHz. Still no sign of reactivating day frequency 9475 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1580, Jan 8 at 0250 UT, Spanish music somewhat romantic dominating on E/W longwire, bringing visions of XEDM Hermosillo, 50 kW clearish channel but that`s been kaput for years. What a waste. In fact now not a single XE is listed on 1580. 0250 quick partial ID caught between songs, ``FM``. Then the DX-398 DFs this to NW/SE, so no doubt KFCS Colorado Springs CO, the closest and most obvious of the six USSS in NRC AM Log, but hard to believe it`s on night power of 140 watts rather than 10 kW ND day. Log says it`s in the Grp= Tigre 94.7 headed by KRYE 94.7. I remember when the 1580 CS/CO was something in English. BTW, there is also ``The Tiger`` on 1580, KTGR, but it`s sportstalk in English, Columbia MO, 8 watts at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 11835, Jan 8 at 0746, S5/S9 music and talk, poor but not bad for third harmonic of a 2.5 kW transmitter of R. Vanuatu; 7890 however, the second is a JBA carrier in HNL. Nothing of course now on 7260 which Adrian Sainsbury says runs until 0659 QSY to 3945++, but I am seldom at the dials before 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1000 kHz, Jan 8 at 0240 UT, music in Spanish, brief announcement as ``todos éxitos``, about equal level to KTOK OKC which is SSE, on my E/W longwire, and best audible with KTOK nulled on the DX-398, but can`t get a DF on it separately. Searching on slogan or catchphrase unproductive. No USSS stations fit - NRC AM Log shown only two religious daytimers in MA, NC. Mexico? Only three still exist, per IRCA Mexican Log 2022/2023, notably XEOY Radio Mil in CDMX, but // 6010 has been gone for many years. The others: XEFV in Juárez, XETAC in CHiapas. CUBA? Sounded too ``commercial`` but two in WRTH 2022: R. Artemisa, R. Granma. The latter named for Castro`s revolutionary boat: do Cubans even realize derivation of the name? Grandmother, originally named by a Yanqui (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1180.03, Jan 8 at 0247 UT, MW bandscan at 10-kHz steps finds a het from a JBA carrier about here. Nothing in mwoffsets. Most likely one of countless Cuban jammers off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1240.20, Jan 8 at 0248 UT, MW bandscan at 10-kHz steps finds a het from a JBA carrier about here. Nothing in mwoffsets. Most likely one of countless US graveyarders off-frequency. Seems I once IDed somesuch many years ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5051.0, Jan 8 at 0751, open carrier still here but JBA. I have not kept relogging it, never any modulation reported. But some interesting observations in the ODXA iog:
``Over the last several nights I've noticed an unmodulated carrier on 5051 kHz. At first I thought it might be some station that hadn't signed on yet but after several hours nothing more was heard other than the carrier. I then checked and verified that it wasn't a receiver birdie. I decided to check a few of the online receivers around my area to rule out a local source. This carrier showed up on all of the receivers I checked. The other night I did a large sweep of many receivers around the world, and as long as they were in darkness this signal was there at various levels of strength. For receivers that were in daylight this signal would show up after their local sunset. This carrier is heard all over North and South America, Europe, and the far East. It seems to be stronger as you go further north. It is strongest in Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Scotland, etc. It is weakest in the southern hemisphere although I could still hear it in Argentina and Chile and it came in fairly well in Australia and New Zealand. It was barely audible on one of the South African receivers. After many hours of checking I've never heard any type of modulation, and it does seem to follow the day/night propagation changes for a signal on this frequency. Anyone out there have any idea what this might be or where it might come from? Cheers, John VE3CXB`` Hudak
To which Richard Lacroix replied:
``03:00 UTC 08 JAN 2023 - I can also confirm reception in N.E. Canada with a nice quiet S8 signal on both my T2FD and Wellbrook loop antennae. The signal is also present on the University of Twente Wide-band WebSDR with an S9 signal.
I have run several TDoA passes on the signal and they have all been fairly consistent placing the signal near Island [ICELAND] or the Western part of Europe. I think it is safe to assume that this originating from somewhere in Europe but as always, I do not place any great deal of confidence from the results obtained from the KiwiSDR TDoA service.
I observed an S+10 signal from the Llerana de Saro, Cantabria KiwiSDR: http://143.131.197.120:8073/?f=5051.00amnz10 an S+20 from the SDRPT 1 Santarem, Portugal KiwiSDR: http://sdrpt.p.sdrotg.com/?f=5051.00amz10 and an S+15 from the IS0KYB San Gavino Monreale, Sardinia KiwiSDR: http://sibamanna.duckdns.org:8073/?f=5051.00amz10

Monday, January 09 2023
** CHINA [and non]. 11590, Jan 8 at 1607, S9/+10 Firedragon jamming, probably our best chance to hear it, but mixed with Chinese, either target RFA TINIAN or more likely another jammer with CNR1 programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 10080, Jan 8 at 0215, RHC Spanish S5/S7 direct but JBM, // much louder 9650. Transmitter once again mistuned to second harmonic of proper 5040 where nothing but a JBA carrier. At 0745, 10080 still on with Spanish newscast, no 5040. Something`s always wrong at RHC. EiBi now shows 10080 at 2200-0800; and as I outpointed when this initiated, victims are 10081 aero HF data linx of Shannon and San Francisco. See my Nov 21 report for more about HFDLs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5025, Jan 8 at 0217, R. Rebelde here and no 10050, S9+30/40 but overmodistorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser,OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6165, Jan 8 at 0743, only RHC English still on altho with S9 Spanish music at the moment but not // 10080 real Spanish service, q.v. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, Jan 8 at 1606, RHC is OFF, leaving only weak 15140 for Sunday Esperanto. Check various frequencies for it at 2130? 2230? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. Horacio Nigro has just reported that Arnie Coro died this morninng Jan 8 at age of 80. QEPD/RIP (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Jan 8 at 0753, no signal from R. Kiribati, presumably another Sunday silence; nor any other 9/kHz splits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 8 at 0749, no signal from VON. You never know whether it might have come and gone irregularly earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 USB, Jan 8 at 0225, rock music at S6/S7, the OPOB = only pirate on band, that is audible. These say it`s Two Dog Radio: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,107892.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SCOTLAND [non]. 5850, UT Sunday January 8 at 0100-0200, `Encore` classical music via WRMI, heard sufficiently well via Lincoln, Nebraska SDR. I heard only part of it on first airing UT Friday 0200 on 5850, inconvenient time. Another opportunity UT Monday 0300 on 5950 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.002+, Sat Jan 7 at 2307, VOT English is on, S9+20/30 into UTwente but somewhat undermodulated vs the CCCCCCI making them an almost equal intolerable mix, so I don`t try to listen for content. 2348 already playing IS, sign-off earlier than usual: except it`s still on, 2357 switching to German IDs interspersed. And stays on well past 0000 Jan 8 with yet another extraneous broadcast. No more clashing with The Mighty KBC which has left Nauen 5960 for WRMI 5950 22 hours later. For other reasons: KBC never showed any concern for the unpredictable collision with Turkey, sticking to 5960 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOWR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2172 monitoring: Bill Tilford says the WBCQ R. Angela airing succeeded this week, UT Sat Jan 7 at 0500 on 5130v.
New time on WRMI sked, Sat 2230 on 5850, 7730, 15770, so I`m all set Jan 7 to check these out, via remotes and direct, resulting in quite a confusing situation. To Missouri SDR, 5850 is S9/+20 but still music at 2230, WOR seems to start late at 2231. But this SDR keeps dropping out every few seconds, like buffering? Then I switch it to 15770 while Maryland and UTwente are getting no signal there altho aimed toward them. These interruptions add up, so Missouri is still playing WOR on 15770 until 2305.7! 7730 has been completely gone tho on the schedule: briefly I think I`m hearing WOR there, but it must have been a delay in remote activating frequency tuning change. Back to earlier in the semihour: on 5850, WOR interrupted by music, `Those Were the Days`, and at 2240, `Both Sides Now` heard direct on 5850.
Confirmed UT Sunday January 8 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/S5 into Maurice, Louisiana SDR which gets 7780 aimed SW from FL better than the others. Playout still starts with 10+ seconds of noise out of WRMI itself overriding my first words!
Confirmed UT Sunday January 8 starting at 0428 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+15/20 into neighborly SDR, but still with lots of storm noise no closer than the lightning line from SE TX across N LA and C/N MS. Next:
2100 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW 0400vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW [last week at 0431] 0130 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035 USB [low power] 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v OR 5130v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

** U S A. 5085, Jan 8 at 0219, WTWW with PPPP, very strong, still flanked by JBA spurs plus/minus 12.9 kHz. Still no sign of reactivating day frequency 9475 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1580, Jan 8 at 0250 UT, Spanish music somewhat romantic dominating on E/W longwire, bringing visions of XEDM Hermosillo, 50 kW clearish channel but that`s been kaput for years. What a waste. In fact now not a single XE is listed on 1580. 0250 quick partial ID caught between songs, ``FM``. Then the DX-398 DFs this to NW/SE, so no doubt KFCS Colorado Springs CO, the closest and most obvious of the six USSS in NRC AM Log, but hard to believe it`s on night power of 140 watts rather than 10 kW ND day. Log says it`s in the Grp= Tigre 94.7 headed by KRYE 94.7. I remember when the 1580 CS/CO was something in English. BTW, there is also ``The Tiger`` on 1580, KTGR, but it`s sportstalk in English, Columbia MO, 8 watts at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 11835, Jan 8 at 0746, S5/S9 music and talk, poor but not bad for third harmonic of a 2.5 kW transmitter of R. Vanuatu; 7890 however, the second is a JBA carrier in HNL. Nothing of course now on 7260 which Adrian Sainsbury says runs until 0659 QSY to 3945++, but I am seldom at the dials before 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1000 kHz, Jan 8 at 0240 UT, music in Spanish, brief announcement as ``todos éxitos``, about equal level to KTOK OKC which is SSE, on my E/W longwire, and best audible with KTOK nulled on the DX-398, but can`t get a DF on it separately. Searching on slogan or catchphrase unproductive. No USSS stations fit - NRC AM Log shown only two religious daytimers in MA, NC. Mexico? Only three still exist, per IRCA Mexican Log 2022/2023, notably XEOY Radio Mil in CDMX, but // 6010 has been gone for many years. The others: XEFV in Juárez, XETAC in CHiapas. CUBA? Sounded too ``commercial`` but two in WRTH 2022: R. Artemisa, R. Granma. The latter named for Castro`s revolutionary boat: do Cubans even realize derivation of the name? Grandmother, originally named by a Yanqui (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1180.03, Jan 8 at 0247 UT, MW bandscan at 10-kHz steps finds a het from a JBA carrier about here. Nothing in mwoffsets. Most likely one of countless Cuban jammers off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
