Also confirmed Sunday January 12 at 2100 on WRN Europe webcast.

Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7570, Jan 13 at 0640, WRMI `Legends` with Ted shilling

at 05-07 System C on 7570; while System C grid shows 01-04 on 5050,
04-06 on 9455, nothing on 7570 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12145-12190, Jan 13 at 1525 huge wideband multi-tones,
peaking around 12180 at S9. This would be a big problem for WWCR, but
recheck 1611 after it`s on, the tones are gone (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13590, Jan 13 at 1520, weak carrier cutting off and on
rapidly, and maybe some modulation on it. It`s the OSOB
extracontinental besides 13820 & 13845. EiBi shows VOA Deewa Radio via
Lampertheim, GERMANY but also could be CNR1 jamming vs Sound of Hope
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Sunday, January 12 2025

Logs
** CUBA. 7335, Jan 12 at 0417, pulse jamming against nothing: hey,
stupid DCJC, can`t you tell R. Martí is on 7355, and 7435? Very strong
even here and no jamming detectable on those (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9790, Jan 12 at 0426, S9+40 wasted since modulation is
extremely suptorted in CRI relay. Geez, it`s hard enough to understand
Cantonese when it`s clear! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRELAND. 3413 USB, Jan 12 at 0436, YL with VOLMET, S9/+10. Shannon
is here 24h per EiBi, altho San Francisco could be too with non-VOLMET
comms (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KUWAIT. 7590, Jan 12 at 0418, JBA carrier: got to be R. Farda at
0230-0830; we don`t have to consider jamming against it, do we?
Instead Iran will just throw station relatives in prison (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 15215, Jan 12 at 0431, talk at S9+10 but = noise level
so JBA, and is the OSOB! Only signal on band. Trans/eq advantage
rules: it`s RFI in Swahili at 0430-0500. Now the 13 and 17 MHz bands
are also totally dead (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO [and non]. 800, Jan 12 at 0402 UT, heavy distorted QRM from
XEERG, NL on my N/S shortwire; hardly any vs KQCV OKC on my E/W loop
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6960 USB, Jan 12 at 0415, variety of siren sounds
intermittently; then at 0416 same on 6955 USB -- at least I think they
are USB. Nothing reported in HFU: may have been only brief bits (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1640 kHz, Jan 12 at 0405 UT, KZLS STILL dead air atop
something. probably WSJP Relevant Radio, WI again. 1708 UT still,
passing the 82-hour mark (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** PHILIPPINES. 9275, Jan 12 at 1549, song with good signal: not WMLK
since it`s huxtering on 15150 now. EiBi & Aoki show R. Liangyou at
1000-1600 via FEBC Bocaue site. WRTH treats this as merely another
Chinese broadcast from FEBC, nothing about Liangyou; EiBi implies it
originates in Hong Kong. But here it is:
https://www.febchk.org/en/liangyou-en/
Searching that for 9275 gets NO hits! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 9510, Jan 12 at 0423, RRI VG S9+30/40 in English; 0424
`RRI Encyclopedia` about the Revolution of 1848 and slavery of the
Roma people [i.e., ``Gypsies``, not Romanians]. Not found on listed //
7410 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SUDAN [non]. 11650, Jan 11 at 0428, S9+20/10 of dead air is the
SSOB; 0429 R. Dabanga ID in passing, also shouted; MADAGASCAR relay of
course so also thisaway (Glenn Hauser,  OK, WOR)

** U S A. 293 MCW kHz, Jan 12 at 0746, UI, qUIncy IL, ND beacon mixing
with FBY, FairBurY NE. Normally hear FBY only. Per dxinfocentre, UI
has a power advantage, 30 watts vs only 25 for FBY (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 344 kHz, Jan 12 at 0757 UT, open carrier; compared to
othersigs, this one should be strong enough to hear an MCW ID if any
were transmitted. Most likely JL, JopLin MO, 25 watts altho there is
also JA, JAxonvil FL, 400 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6501 USB, Jan 12 at 0412, S9+30 of roboman voice obsessed
with ``seas`` and ``winds`` concerning the Atlantic, Bahamas. It`s
NMN, Chesapeake VA during this 0330-0430 segment, USCG timeshare with
NOJ Kodiak, NRV Guam, NMO Honolulu, per EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2277 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday January 12 at 0100 on WRMI 9955, S8/S9 into Maryland SDR.

Confirmed UT Sunday January 12 at 0437 UT, on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, VG
S9+10 direct; following ARRL News which had started at 0423. Next:

2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy;
2230 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
2330 UT Sunday WRMI 7570 to NW [and/or 7780];

Thanks this week for a very generous contribution via PayPal in US
funds but not necessarily, to woradio at yahoo.com, from Peter
Robinson, Preston UK, and says, ``All the best for the New Year,
73's to all DXers, especially British DX Club.``

One may also contribute by money order or check on a US bank to:
Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9395 // 9455, UT Sun Jan 12 at 0421, WRMI on both with
dramatic narration, weird music, S9+30/40 and S9+40 respectively. 9455
had made fitful attempts to resume long after hurricane damage; we`ll
see if it remain this time. Per XMTR grid, 9395 WRMI-6 is System G
with TOMBS, 9455 WRMI-11 off after System E TOMBS until 0400. System G
itself shows TOMBS on both at 0400-0500 UT, except UT Sunday: 0400
`Rural Routes`, 0430 `Wavescan`. What`s `Rural Routes`?? Nothing about
it on the Programming page. 9455 is off again at 1548, JBA carrier
from CRI Kunming this hour only. WRMI-11 is sked 23-04 UT only, BTW
the skedgrid is now dated at the top ``effective January 11, 2025` --
so it ought to be totally accurate, altho individual Systems still
show ``effective March 10, 2024``! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 880, Jan 12 at 0758 UT, open carrier/dead air atop some
Mexmx; 0800 finally alive with KRVN ID, Fox `news`. See also
UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 900, Jan 12 at 0442 UT, ads with 903 area code including
hair stylist. The only fit in NRC AM Log is KPYN Atlanta TX U1 1000/33
but was Christian and silent as of 11/2023. When did it become
unsilent? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 990, Jan 12 at 0806 UT, ``Mighty 9-90, K-Wam and 107.9``
after ads so not CBW; CBS News, mentions South Haven, but this is not
Kansas; per NRC AM Log, only 990 with this slogan and FM translator
match = W300DE, is KWAM Memphis TN, U4 10000/450. But not listed as
CBS affiliate, rather Fox. Southaven MS is a Memphis suburb right on
the border (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1200, Jan 12 at 0446 UT, 9-second loop over and over, ``This
is the Houston Texans Radio Network`` including ear-splitting tone for
5 seconds, still past 0451 when I can stand it no longer. OMG, *STILL
DOING THAT* at 0635 recheck. O, how the mighty have fallen! No one
minding the store at WOAI San Antonio, the nation`s premier Clear
Channel Station! Yes, that`s ``Texans``, not ``Texas``, a team name?
Yes, football. Eric Fetters-Walp in Washington and Walt Salmaniw in BC
could also perceive it thru QRM. STILL going at 0744, 0808 chex, and
Roger in Germany says still past 0915 UT. And:

``Still doing that now at 1300Z, after my local sunrise. Quite strong
signal into Birmingham, not unusual here. Oh it just stopped, Fox News
about plane crash at 1304. Dead air after end of Fox News at 1305. End
of DX test! Dead air ends at 1307 with promo for a show "on 1200
WOAI", ad for pet shelter, then dead air again. Eike Bierwirth,
Birmingham, AL`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 410 kHz, Jan 12 at 0757, JBA carrier. DXinfocentre.com
says this is a ``Maritime RDF Channel``. Only 3 USAs listed in IN, TX,
NC and several in Canada (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 880, UT Sun Jan 12 at 0440, Spanish talk dominates
especially on E/W loop with less CCI from KRVN to the north. Seems to
be religious, of which there are two in NRC AM Log: KKMC Gonzales CA,
U4 10000/10000; WRRZ Clinton NC, D1 1000; but bigsig more likely from
supposedly secular: WIJR Highland IL as previously heard, U4 1700/160;
WMDB Nashville TN U1 2500/2! watts; KJOZ Conroe TX U4 10000/1000. I
also wonder if KHAC Tse Bonito NM U1 10000/430 is ever Spanish besides
Navajo/English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1440 kHz, Jan 12 at 0811 UT, ID sounds like KBUS or
KBUN, but no fits; the closest fuzzies would be my two closests: KPUR
Amarillo TX and KTUV Little Rock AR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7890, Jan 12 at 0418, JBA carrier: I would like to think
it`s an harmonic leak from 3945 VANUATU like in the good ole days,
altho rather too early for either to be active and propagating. Even
Klingenfuß 2022 has no ute on this exact frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

Saturday, January 11 2025

Logs
** OKLAHOMA. 1640 kHz, Jan 11 at 0702 & 2117 UT, KZLS is **still**
dead air, as first noticed Jan 9 at 0755, some 61 hours so far. I
always wonder if advertisers in such a situation get a rebate, or no
one notices anything amiss? Why in the world is Chisholm Trail
Broadcasting burning 610+ kWh of juice for nothing, not including
inefficiency factor (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Accompanying the dead air in $ tereo, I finally photograph
the 95.1 sign in downtown Enid among the snow: OG&E Tree of Lights:
https://www.w4uvh.net/95.1_OG&E_Enid.jpg
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, Jan 11 at 1900 UT, K17JN-D, 3ABN on 17-1, Enid`s
only local TV signal, is *still* dead audio, as first noted Dec 9,
over a month ago!!! And still for more than a year mis-IDing itself as
K17JI-D, which is really in California. I do see a program plug for
``Adventist World Radio`` in a sesquihour at 2030 UT, or `AWR 360
Broadcast to Baptism`. Another weekly time for that is Mondays 1100
UT. I watched some eps months ago and found there was precious little
if any info about the frequencies, Kenneth of transmitters allegedly
responsible for converting heathens, or from other Christian subcults?
Fortunately 17-6, labeled 3ABN-PH carries the same programming as
17-1, and it has audio! Unfortunately, they split apart at 2030 UT, so
the AWR show remains speechless on 17-1 only. I watch it anyway, seems
to be about Europe, especially Ukraine, so not likely involving any
SW; even before AWR drastically reduced its SW output. Furthermore, no
closed captioning which could have been a saving grace (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. As of Jan 10, Optimum cable in Enid and
presumably everywhere blox Nexstar stations, because of failure to
reach agreement on costs. Here that includes our NBC affiliate, KFOR!
(``4``) and all its subchannels, and its full-power substation KAUT
(``43``, RF 19 ATSC 3.0, Cable 2), as well as NewsNation which had
been on cable 85. Optimum already raised prices and now offers less!
Apparently has something to do with MSG and sports rights, about which
we don`t give a damn, and would gladly dispense of ALL sports cable
channels and their costs.

Fortunately, KFOR RF 27 is an OKC station with reliable direct by
antenna reception, even the UHF loop near ground level by a
south-facing window, and certainly via rooftop antenna. Optimum is

on with IS & ID, S9/+10. At 0100, 6160- starts something else despite
program guide, while 5130- & 7490- combine into `WTO` theme of
`AAAWWW`. Allan`s first voiceover: ``It`s the beauty of
broadcasting...`` 0103 greeting Angela, ``you have a frog in your
throat -- at least it`s not me``, hee hee. Assessing the temperatures
in Florida. Most of the program is extolling AM Radio = which includes
shortwave. 0140 finally datestamp as 10th of January, YOOLF 2025,

UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. Jan 11 at 0712-0725 or so UT, I tune the
entire beacon band via 100-foot E/W longwire, and detect many JBA
carriers vs intolerable local line noise level which has abated only
slightly; and no storm noise now. Without the line noise I would have
many more definite logs. Results, reference dxinfocentre.com including
(best guesses) based on previous logs, proximity, power, otherwise
calls definitely logged:

UNIDENTIFIED. 1280, Jan 11 at 0706 UT tuneby, immediate ID as ``1280
WBBN`` or so I thought. Looking up later, no such call nor anything
fuzzily similar. There is a WBBN-FM in Taylorsville MS on 95.9 but no
connexion to 1280. Desperate, I look for fuz/sims on 640 of which 1280
would be 2X: WMEN, Royal Palm Beach FL; WBIN Atlanta GA; CBN St.
John`s NL --- all extremely unlikely (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
