** BRAZIL. 6180, Sat Jan 10 at 0757, S8/S9 of dead air; 11780 starts
music at 0758 and then // also on stronger 6180. So RNA apparently
just starting up in the morning (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Jan 10 at 0223, S9+25 of deadair, the SSOB if not the
OSOB. Seems a bit of windhowl too, but have to be careful, as local
TVI on certain frequencies sounds much like that transmitted by RHC.
SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN [non]. 13754.986, Jan 10 at 1635, R. Farda reactivated,
S8/9+10 into UTwente. From FB, Alex Miatlikov got this schedule, all
via UAE site, which correlates with typical offfrequenciness:

"Radio Farda is restarting on Saturday as follows:
0530-0800 15430
0800-1200 15110
1200-1500 15310
1500-1700 13755"

https://www.facebook.com/groups/wrthgroup/posts/10164502019643698/

All via Dhabbaya, the UAE, 250 kW, 35 degrees

https://new.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B25&broadc=ENC

No jamming audible, and IIRC, strangely enough, Iran did not bother to
jam the original R. Farda. Richard Langley noted two carriers until
1414, jamming now? Nothing else scheduled. ``There are two carriers.
One at 15310 -0.8 Hz and a stronger one at +150 Hz or so.`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Jan 10 at 0714, JBA carrier, despite 5025
Cuba still on, presumably SIBC. Also 5040 VANUATU (Glenn Hauser, OK,

2317, S9+30/40 into UTwente on 5960.002+, English about Maduro, so VOT
is not off the air, but 6CI underaudible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

JBA. 7590 FKB. 9330 WLCR. By 0100, No disclaimer as repeat! and Wm
Tell Overture theme on 5130 -66 Hz = 5129.934, S7/S9 and preferably on
webcast of 7490, opening comment ``Absolutely amazing this radio
thing we do--``, and one-word interjexion during pause in theme,
``blaze``? Then a song but some audio dropouts. Says shortwave is
```fancy AM``. They are back after a bit of hiatus --- yes, it`s been
a few weeks of repeats since the last new one. Angela is beautiful.
Quadricasting on 9330, 7490, 6160, 5130 -and- LBS = laser broadcasting
system into space with hi power on 535 nanometers, where the FCC has
no jurisdixion. So there`s the answer to WTFK? Except how do you
convert that to #Hz? 0121 Allan is getting over the flu. 0123

back to only 7-10 pm EST on 6160 {00-03 UT; initially 24h, then only
23-08, then this: indeed no signal on 6160- at 0408 into NH SDR}. 0137
some hard rock, 0140 outro as ELO. 0141, Allan has been coughing and
often hitting the cough-switch-mute. Angela is often muttering
off-mike, apparently to him rather than to the audience; but they were
not fiddling with her mike at the outset. Socialism is bad: look at
Venezuela. 0143 reading an article about collectivism. How could NYC
elect a ``democratic socialist`` -- there is no such thing {O yeah?
Check out Scandinavia} 0153 outro as by Dr Earl? Patterson, CEO of

UNIDENTIFIED. 9236.00, Jan 10 at 0225, S7 of open carrier dead air,

beyond the bandwidth of the DA down to minus 13 kHz, 9223. Probably
also up to 9249 but obscured by othersigs. One of those mysterious
