Hauser
** ALASKA. HAARP testing March 2: highest frequency publicized, 9600
with open carrier, at 0240-0255, at first direct, then via KFS remote
where waterfall shows it accompanied by carriers on 9594, 9606, 9612,
and all four go off at 0244, back on at 0245, etc.

5800, another frequency possible until 0900: at 0737 rapid CW beeps at
rate of about 10 per second, perhaps HAARP direct. I wonder if it was
on 5800 earlier despite WRMI?

MHz frequencies publicized for the final night of the current series,
UT Sunday March 3 at 0200-0800: 2.8, 3.25, 3.3, 4.1, 5.4, 6.8, 9.6
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Mar 2 at 2341, LRA36 is underway,
S7/S9 into Argentine SDR with music, 2342 contact info starting with
whatsapp, also says every Saturday on their Collins HF80 transmitter
-- searching shows that was a 1 kW solid-state. Music, 2348 ID; 2358
repeat exactly same announcement as at 2342 so it`s canned, and stops
by 2400*, not another hour this time. I had reconfirmed the JBA
reduced carrier by stepping down in USB to 15475.5 or so (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 7295-7300-7305, Mar 2 at 0733, DRM noise, another TDF test
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5950, Sat Mar 2 at 0735, Alex Scourby with
Bible reading on TOMBS, this WRMI usually off at this hour, now //
5850; and after considerable delay, // 5890 WWCR which is sked
weekends only. Outdated System L program sked shows nothing after 05
UT; but the transmitter sked for WRMI-8 on 5950 shows TOMBS nightly
after 0700. 5950 is on 355 degrees, same as 9395 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.005, Sat Mar at 2314, VOT English not off
the air, S9+40/45 into UTwente, with `Energy Agenda`; rechex: 2323
``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2331 ending `Turkey`s Geomarked [sic]
Products`. 2332 ``always-by-your-side`` promo while 6CI understation,
music. 2353 s/off as if the 1330 broadcast only: something`s always
awry at Ankara. 2354 IS; 2356 restart IS with German ID: something`s
always erroneous at Emirler; chopoff at 2356.4*, no finesse,
uncovering XJRTV, std denunciations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2232 monitoring: confirmed UT

Hauser
** ALASKA. HAARP tests: see UNIDENTIFIED 3200

** BRAZIL [and non]. 4985, March 1 at 0725, JBA carrier again audible
from presumed R Brasil Central, unheard last night. Only other 60m SAm
signal the 4810 Perú carrier; 4940 Venezombia still absent (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [non]. 7290, Friday March 1 at 1919, checking what IRRS is
running in the SW slot it removed from WOR some months ago:
`Flashpoint Global Crisis` from VOA, story about some virus, not about
Ukraine any more, where not enough was happening? to keep that in the
title. Note: WRMI is still running `FGC` at 1935; is that its `live`
time on VOA itself? If so, is the episode on IRRS really from
yesterday? After lunch, at 1951 referring to globalresearch.ca and
Canadian items, something about Calgary and fluoridation. S8/9+15 into
UTwente, best on LSB to avoid 7295 ChiCom ACI. At *1957 more ChiCom
ACI hits from below, 7285, making IRRS unlistenable even by narrowing
bandwidth to 3 kHz. 1959 IRRS s/off referring to continuing on MW 1323
is chopped off by SW site, Bulgaria or Romania? at 2000* before it`s
finished. But later at 2130 no signal on 1323 during WOR (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Ken Zichi replies in great detail to this log
of mine:

``267 MCW kHz, Feb 26 at 0729 UT, HET, 25-watt NDB at HenryEtTa; but
better copy tuned to 265 USB. In 2007y someone reported it on 263.
Occasionally noted but not always logged, JBA vs noise level. RNA and
DXinfocentre.com show it the only 267 anywhere!``

Altho I`m DXing these only by ear on my own regular radios, non-SDRs.

``This 'what frequency is it on' is a source of confusion for many ---
but it has a simple explanation.

An MCW signal consists of a carrier and an audio tone (the CW). Audio
tones, as you may remember can generate 'harmonics' so a 1 kHz tone
will also 'sound' at 2 and 3 and sometimes even 4 kHz.

NOW -- imagine if you were able to 'see' radio waves, and looked at
the radio spectrum. If you did that you would 'see' not only the
'carrier' at dead zero, but also see the code 'tones' at 1 kHz above
and if it is full AM MCW also below that carrier. If the signal has
'harmonics' present you will ALSO see code peaks at 2 kHz and maybe
even more remote away from that carrier.

NOW imagine you set your radio to only receive a TEENY TINY slice of
the radio spectrum as many people do to reduce noise when tuning CW. I
mean, the rest of the spectrum isn't sending any useful info so why
not filter it out? If you tuned in wide bandwidth AM none of this is
'obvious' but the minute you narrow down the bandwidth the details
come screaming to your attention.

NOW tune the radio to EXACTLY the carrier (267 in this example). What
do you hear? With a narrow bandwidth, you hear the solid tone of the
carrier and that's it. NOW, keep that bandwidth narrow and tune the
radio instead to 266 or 265 -- NOW you get the code, To add to the
confusion, if your radio is AT ALL 'off channel' when you TUNE to 265
you may really be tuning to 266 --- well I think you see what is
happening.

But even if your radio is 'dead on' if you tune to the 'carrier', you will
get nothing. Tune slightly lower or higher and voila, there's the code
with much better copy.

A photo of the spectrum from an SDR (so you actually CAN 'see' radio
waves!) may help (the one I can find quickly is a 400 Hz tone rather
than 1 kHz but the principles are the same.):

Note the radio is 'tuned' to 325.430 (+250 Hz) kHz. The station VV was
broadcasting on 326 with an 'audio tone' of about 400 Hz (Most US
stations use around 1000 Hz) and unlike most Canuks they used DSB
rather than RCUSB modulation so that 'lower' sideband is also there
'peaking' at 325.6 kHz. If you look at the 'waterfall' you'll actually
SEE the 'Dash Dot Dot Dot' code drawn out vertically on the screen but
NOT at 326 kHz where the carrier is. THAT is just a solid line. The
code is offset from the carrier at 325.6 and 326.4 kHz.

Does this clear up why an MCW station may 'appear' somewhere on the
radio dial other [than] the carrier frequency? [Indeed it will NEVER
actually appear on the carrier -- that is a solid tone and not the
code you're looking for.] The code will be 'offset' from the carrier
by a specific amount depending on the tone sent. Those 'offsets' can
be as distinctive as fingerprints and you'll note them listed in the
RNA database. 73 //Ken Z`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Mar 1 at 2300, token English from SNR, VG direct
S9+10/20. Before news, preview about interview with Dr Lindsey
Stonebridge, biographer of Hannah Arendt, and later, Beirut
correspondent about Spanish people living in Lebanon. But at 2313
check the topic is drawbacks, crisis concerning social media (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.002, March 1 at 2259, JBA carrier from VOT
direct vs noise level. By 2325 I`m on UTwente, where it`s S9+30/35 and
measured, `Weekly Analysis` concluding, something about Ukraine. 2326
multi-lingual ID 2-minute filler reel; meanwhile, understation CCCCCCI
clearly audible. 2329 sounds like a `Folk Tale`, music. 2342
``with-you-every-hour`` promo, music. 2347 `That`s Why` about physical
activity and health, voiced by the badax, so fortunate to have made
out that much: it`s not just her heavy accent, but her modulation is
not crisp; music. 2352 the canned s/off, English schedule with
all-wrong times in local UT+3 but called UTC. No one at TRT has ever
noticed how wrong this is, or if they have, do not care. This
recording should be destroyed!!! Then only 6 notes of IS until chopoff
a bit before 2354* uncovering XJRTV from EAST TURKISTAN, land of
imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2232 monitoring: Not confirmed Fri Mar 1 at
2130 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz: no signal into UTwente,
apparently off the air, nor at 2159, while nearby Noale SDR is tied up
with six ``digiskr`` in Milan tuned to ham frequencies starting at
exactly same time.

Confirmed Friday March 1 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 direct. Next:

** U S A. 5085, March 1 at 0519, WTWW-2 is still on with music, and ID
as `Ancient Word Radio`, again at 0529 and off abruptly at 0533*.
Apparently flexible. I thought they were finishing at 0500, thus
choice of 0500 UT Saturday for resuming WORLD OF RADIO. Perhaps a dry
run for that, 24 hours earlier on UT Friday. Also back on air before
2330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 5000+, March 1 at 0725, NO broadcast signal at all
just above WWV, all off: USA 5010, 5050, 5085, 5130.3v; Cuba 5025.
Also, unlike last night, Thu, TOMBS gone again from 5890 WWCR (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, March 1 at 0732, RV back on with weak talk after
missing several nights. Also reported around now by Chuck Albertson,
Eric Fetters-Walp, Manuel Méndez and Zacharias Liangas (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 3200, March 1 at 0726, S9+25/30 of open carrier until
0728.5* Suspect HAARP Alaska, which has been testing on 3250, and
earlier 5800, 6800, 7000?, 4600, 5400 as mostly monitored by Walt
Salmaniw; but I hear only dead air, no tones. Some of his earlier
reports to the WOR iog:

``I suspect HAARP is on 7000 right now with a whopping S9+40 signal on
all my antennas into Masset at 0447 tune-in. A huge unmodulated
carrier. Massive! Can't think what else it could be. Walt``

``An interesting pattern emerged on 3250 after going off for a few
seconds at 0630. Carriers were noted strongly also on 3100 and 3400,
and weakly below on 2950! Very interesting, for sure! Wish they'd
announce the experiments a bit more to understand them! 73, Walt``

This includes a schedule of times and frequencies for tests Feb 28-Mar
3 UT, with some but not all the frequencies reported:
https://ei7gl.blogspot.com/2024/02/notice-upcoming-haarp-ionospheric-tests.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7735-7775 approx., March 1 at 0735, multi-carrier,
multi-tone uteblob in a frequency span as if chosen to fit exactly
between the WRMIs 7730 & 7780, barely far enough away not to bother
them. Center peak would be 7755 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST update Feb 29

Hi Glenn, my latest Hitlist update.
https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm

1) Cuba - Habana R: Added entries for this station as has been
periodically relayed on 5025 kHz in place of R Rebelde {but maybe no
more, its anniversary past? gh}

2) Taiwan - RTI: Updated link to latest RTI Programme Schedule (New
programme schedule since 18 Feb)

3) ~Aggregator - World Radio Network: Updated links to point to B-23
schedules
The next update is scheduled for mid March. Best wishes and 73, Alan
Roe

** BRAZIL [and non]. 4985, Feb 29 at 0720, no signal from R. Brasil
Central. I can normally detect its JBA carrier vs RTTY on plus side.
More and more S Americans are disappearing. 4885 R. Clube de Pará
still gone; 4940 no 4940 from Colombizuela; the only carrier still
there, 4810 from R. Logos, Perú (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. 353 MCW kHz, Feb 29 at 0734, dash and PG, 25 watt
ND beacon from PortaGe-la-Prairie, Manitoba, new one for me; 944 miles
so 37.76 miles per watt. Also audible the usual only 353, LI, 400
watts from LIttle Rock AR.

258 MCW kHz, Feb 29 at 0726, ZSJ, 1000 watts from Sandy Lake, Ontario
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Feb 29 at 0722, R. Rebelde missing again. Something`s
always wrong at wRadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2232)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5010, Feb 29 at 0722, TOMBS via WRMI, usual
VP signal, and also 5890, TOMBS via WWCR, usual VG signal: both these
are scheduled overnight only on weekends but this is Thursday: a Leap
special? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 392 MCW kHz, Feb 29 at 0751 UT, FMZ, 25-watt ND beacon at
FairMont/Beklof, Nebraska. Last logged Dec 29, 2021 and a few more
times that year. Beklof is Folkeb spelt backwards. Does anyone know
origin of the name Beklof? Maybe nonsensical like many airport
nicknames, constructed for uniquity (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 251 MCW kHz, Feb 29 at 0725, JBA carrier, can`t copy an ID
but probably AM, 100 watts from AMarillo TX, escaping the nearby
wildfire. Such if on 250 or other `even` frequency would risk being
image from MW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2231 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday February 29 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S7/S9 into Maryland SDR,
and S9+5/15 into Bonaire where it`s aimed.

Missed checking UT Thu Feb 29 at 0230 on WRMI 9395; anyone hear it?
Yes!:

``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: Update, confirming WOR #2231, WRMI,

Confirmed NOT at 1527 Thu Feb 29 on WRMI 9955, something else contrary
to 1500 on skedgrid, but for first time this year not confirmed either
24 h earlier.

Confirmed Thursday February 29 at 1730.0 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.001, S9+10 into UTwente after ADDX show in German.

** BELIZE. 28386 USB, Feb 28 at 2309, V3O calling CQ Japan. Call
clearly with fonetix. QRZ.com:
V3O Belize flag Belize, Uwe Dowidat, Mayahill / Belmopan, Belmopan,
Belize -- more about temp op: https://www.qrz.com/db/V3O
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Feb 28 at 0134, R. Rebelde is off again. Something`s
always wrong at wRadioCuba. 4765, R. Progreso, however, is not off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 28171 CW, Feb 28 at 2306, beacon XE1FAS/B and four dashes
step-down power. Keying a bit rough: surely automated, but originally
may have been hand-keyed. QRZ.com:
XE1FAS Mexico flag Mexico SEGURA WALLS ALEJANDRO, 31 PONIENTE 2926
COL.EL VERGEL, PUEBLA, PU 72410, Mexico
``BEACONS: 28.171, 24.929.5, 50.030 ALL CW (XE1FAS/B EK09VB) 15 WATTS,

Previously logged several times in 2022, 2023 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Feb 28 at 2300, token English from SNR, S9+20/30
direct, first about leap years and some famous people who died during
them, not specifically on Leap Day. 2302.5 news. 2309 interview about
rare diseases, 6113? of them, many not diagnosed (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960v, Feb 28 at 2300, no signal direct from VOT
English. Checking UTwente at 2333: nothing but Chinese on 5960.000,
XJRTV no longer an understation, std. genocidal denunciation. So is
VOT overrunning on 9610? Not there either, something else weak,
presumably CNR Mongolian from Beijing site. Still no show of VOT
eitherfreq by 2355. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2231 monitoring: confirmed UT
Wednesday February 28 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+20 into Missouri SDR.

Not confirmed Wed Feb 28 at 1527 the secret 1500 on WRMI 9955: at
first I wonder if that`s me at imagination-level in the noise; then
realize it`s off the air, while 9395 & 9455 are still propagating. And
too late to check the webstream. Anyone hear it start at 1500 or on
stream?

Confirmed Wednesday February 28 at 2030 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.001, S9+10 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Wednesday February 28 at 2200 on WBCQ, 7489.949, S7/9+5
into Maryland SDR at 2124 when I set up to record the entire WOR slot:
apparently aired intact unlike last week. Meanwhile, reception direct:
2200 JBA can`t be sure it`s me; 2228 VP but now can tell it`s #2231
with last week`s propagation outlook. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
0230 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975

** U S A. 15770, Tue Feb 27 at 2000, WRMI going from VOA `Flashpoint
Global Crisis` - tho still on skedgrid as merely `Flashpoint Ukraine`;
into `VORW`. John introes it as for Mon Feb 26 on WWCR 4840! Wrong
file, or incomplete reference? Roughly first half he cites the `news`,
second half into music. Checking because earlier today at 1300, 15770
was reported to be off instead of `Encore` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5130+v, Feb 28 at 0718, no signal from WBCQ `All Trump All
The Time`, unusual, supposedly 24/7. Propagation? 6159.9v with TOMBS
is audible. Usually about 5130.3, tho last time I tuned across, closer
to 5130.2. Should be audible daytime into NH SDR: still absent at
1715, but 6160v VG. Tsk2, one can never get enough Drumpf (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Feb 28 at 0019, WTWW-2 is back on after a few days
off, presumably with SFAW in very rapid check. Ditto some 24 hours
later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZOMBIA. 4940, Feb 28 at 0135, Estación 4940 is missing, nor on
later tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
