** BRAZIL. 15415, Feb 22 at 0300, VP S5/S7 Portuguese into Mendoza,
Argentina SDR, so R. Clube de Ribeirão Preto still pretending to be a
SW station until it can convert to FM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ECUADOR. 6050, Feb 22 at 0225, HCJB reactivated but not enough to
overcome high noise level here. Pardinho Brasil SDR barely gets it,
but sufficient into Mendoza, Argentina, altho fluttery as if
trans-polar instead of merely equatorial. Andean music with
announcements in local language, not Spanish. 0230 s/off in Spanish,
to return at 4:25 am [0925 UT] in Quechua, national anthem: a longer
version than I remembered, the familiar notes in the middle, finished
at 0233*. Tnx to this:

``From: RAFAEL RODRIGUEZ <rafaelcoldx@yahoo.com>
Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2024 at 01:11:37 AM GMT+1

HCJB 6050 khz signal from Ecuador has been reactivated. Listen today
19 feb. at 2130 UTC, retransmitting the 89.3 FM signal, Mention other
FM relays " ...HCJB...92.5 Manabí, 98.3 Esmeraldas, 96.1 Tungurahua y
Cotopaxi..." With overmodulation in the signal.

FM programming continued after 2300 and 0000 UTC, when until December
they presented programming for the Kichwa and Shuar ethnic groups.

6050 used to run until 0230v* except weekends to 0500*. WRTH 2024
shows *0925 in Quechua and other language segments, pp 546/547 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2231)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2230 monitoring: confirmed UT Thursday
February 22 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, JBA into Brasil SDR where it`s
aimed, but S9+20/30 oppositely into Georgia SDR.

Also confirmed UT Thursday February 22 at 0235 the 0230 on WRMI 9395,
sufficient direct into my new D-808 even with telescopic antenna
collapsed.

Logs
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Feb 21 at 2057 tune-in via Argentine
remote, LRA36 already on air with music; advance publicity of a test
today at 21-22; perhaps at a time earlier than 23 for convenience of
Europeans. It`s S7 with roar, which stops at 2100 for s/on in the
clear, then multi-lingual LRA36 ID, songs; 2105 & 2111 multi-lingual
RAE IDs instead. Aside from those, seems all-music. They are asking
for reports and evaluating quality. No signal direct at 2136 check and
not further monitored as it`s nap-time.

I can`t blame RAE for involving with this, but continues to raise the
question of why can`t they get back on air with new/powerful SW
transmitter(s) in the real Argentina? Not that we`re eager to hear
more from the wacko new government (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 15415, Feb 21 at 2314, JBA carrier, presumably temporary
reactivation of ZYE955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Feb 21 at 2318, S9+10 but breaking-up, or -in just
barely modulation. Something`s always wrong at RHC. The Other Side:

``Is there a humanitarian crisis in Cuba? In DIARIO DE CUBA, three
experts discuss the aptness of the term to describe the situation on
the island. --- Yusimí Rodríguez López, Madrid 19 Feb 2024 - 22:17
CET``
https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1708377460_52964.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995v, Feb 21 at 2125 into UTwente, no signal from R.
Cairo. I have been checking this almost every day during the English
sesquihour, but always nothing as it`s apparently totally off the air
while supposedly making repairs to Something`s Amiss at Abis (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY [non]. 15215, Feb 21 at 1527, JBA signal here which would
be KSDA Guam in Kannada, 1530 Hindi. Recheck direct at 1559* just as
that goes off. 1600 still no signal from R. Öömrang (Amrum), annual
hour via FRANCE. Cuts on late at *1600:50 VG S9/+15 but just barely
modulated! 1606 I bring up Maryland SDR to find it also S9/+15 and JBM
but somewhat readable by turning volume way up. There is also
continuous weaker clatter underneath, OTHR? It`s all in German or
maybe Frisian bits until 1623 ID in English. Brief English segments
explaining what`s being discussed, 1635 mentions WW II, also at 1642,
1654. 1637 recheck direct, still JBM unreadable. 1640 German ID with
frequency, contact info, 1641 same in English, 500 kW. 1643 YL voice
and others with background noises. 1657 full ID in English as R.
Amrum, starts German but chopped off air incomplete at 1658*. A few
years ago something went wrong with this and there was a make-good a
few days later. They should be entitled to that again, with normal
modulation! For this traditional once-a-year event, you`d think TDF
would make sure to get it right the first time. With this and other
monitored problems, why would anyone risk buying time on Issoudun?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27185 AM, Feb 21 at 2313, CB skip pileup while no local
relay of K288FX gospel music from 105.5. You never know if or when
this will happen nor which station will be relayed. This appeared on
HCDX at 2138 UT Feb 21, as if in reply to my previous inquiry, but
avoid being explicit about that: ``27185 khz AM checked frequently on
February 19 & 20. No music noted among the considerable CB skip. Bill
Smith, Douglas, MA`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Tropo up Feb 21, Enid on western edge of blobs as
predicted by
https://tropo.f5len.org/north-america/north-america-west-coast/
We are hardly on the west coast but this is the map including OK area
and almost as far east as the Mississippi River. -- while the APRS
maps I habitually checked first have been blank for several days
worldwide! Do others see them that way? https://vhf.dxview.org/
A third VG site is predictive only:
https://www.dxinfocentre.com/tropo.html

I start DTV STB tuning at 1625 UT and find many BAD signals on `open`
hi-VHF and UHF channels. Local K17JN-D, mislabeled ``K17JI-D``, is BAD
due to DX QRM, presumably full-power KTEN Ada. Only decodes are RF 20
KQCW 19-1 Muskogee/Tulsa mkt, and TBN-HD, no further ID, on RF 36.
Checking FCC TV Query, that is surely KDOR Bartlesville. Both fade by
1700.

BTW I see in rabbitears.info that K17JN-D listing has still not been
updated with my latest monitored info which I also sent directly to
`Trip` -- wonder if he would rather not be contradicted? I continue to
find his website invaluable, except for this (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690: Reply to my Feb 19 log of SNR English closing with
song ``La Flaca``: ``Hello Glenn, I heard the same program on REE
yesterday and just saw your log in the IO group. I remember buying the
Jarabe de Palo (medicine from Palo?) CD back in 1996. The name of
their first album was La Flaca, the skinny girl, I presume. It
actually has some really good acoustic and harder rock songs on it.
It's been a long time favorite of mine.

I even remember being at a baseball game in Ciudad Obregón, México
around 2003 and they were playing Jarabe de Palo on the speaker system
in between innings. I started singing along and my Mexican work
colleagues were quite amazed that I knew who Jarabe de Palo was. I was
very saddened yesterday to learn that the lead singer had died. He had
a really great voice. Regards, Chris Campbell, Columbus, Ohio`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Feb 21 at 2300, token English from SNR, initially
sufficient on DX-390 with a few meters clipped-on. Preview topic to be
about the European Cyber-Security Act, required by increasing
cyber-attacks. 2301 news; 2306 feature. 2307 signal fades down
considerably. That correlates very nicely with this from SWPC a few
minutes later:

``Space Weather Message Code: SUMX01

area blackout of HF (high frequency) radio communication for about an
hour.`` Well, it was certainly not totally blacked out here for an
hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.003, Feb 21 at 2311, JBA carrier direct and
a slightly stronger JBA carrier on 9610; which is VOT? By 2334 I check
UTwente, when measured. VOT 5960 is VG S9+40, something else on 9610
presumably China, unlike yesterday. 2340 weekly report about
something. I refuse to strain to try to understand what the badax is
saying; besides, I`m mainly attentive to BBC World News America on
OETA 13/13. 2351, two-minute multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2354, s/off
for 1330 broadcast only. 2354.6, IS starts. 2355.3* chop off air
uncovering XJRTV in Chinese, std genocidal denunciations (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2230 monitoring: ``From: Richard
Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening

Confirmed UT Wednesday February 21 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S6/S8 into
Missouri SDR.

Also confirmed Wednesday February 21 at 1525 the secret 1500 on WRMI
9955, S9/S5 direct.

Also confirmed Wednesday February 21 at 2053 the 2030 on SW Radio,
Germany, 3975.001, S9/+10 into UTwente.

In order not to interrupt my nap, I started recording WBCQ 7490- via
Maryland SDR for half an hour from 2132, as `Pirate Joe Extravaganzo`
was underway OK. However I later find that he was cut to dead air at
2159, no ID and no WOR for at least a couple minutes. My next check
was direct-only at 2227 with reception so bad that I could not be sure
my voice could be heard then, either. Did anyone notice what happened
during the entire semihour? Next:

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

** YEMEN [non]. Wolfgang Bueschel quotes my report and inserts
additional info which I did *not* say, such as Riyadh site. I don`t
know whether it`s Jeddah but am willing to accept his info: but
beware, I didn`t say that! Likewise ``excile radio`` as it`s spelt
exile:

11820, Feb 21 at 2319 another check direct, same horrible buzz but in
AM mode, traces of some music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. More intriguing ND beacon carriers at least vs
noise level:
251 kHz, Feb 21 at 0644 UT, probably 100-watt AM, Amarillo TX, heard
before.
305 kHz, Feb 21 at 0645, probably 150-watt RO, Roswell NM, heard
before; only one other USA listed, OI, 25 watts in Sioux City IA.
326 kHz, Feb 21 at 0646, I do make out an ID as MA, which is 400 watts
from MidlAnd TX; but tuned to 324 USB where nothing is listed (Glenn

Logs
** BRAZIL. 15415.00, Feb 20 at 2253, JBA signal, presumably R. Clube
de Ribeirão Preto, long inactive. Has been reported reactivating, not
to be a SW station again, but to become eligible for a second FM
frequency to replace it in the `AM to FM` migration. So it may not
last long. How cynical. Our first news of this:

``My Brazilian colleague reports that he was last week working at
"Sistema Clube of Ribeirão Preto in order to put the 15415 kHz back on
the air." The transmitter is a Philips 1 kW box, circa 1965 (Ben
Dawson, Hatfield-Dawson Consulting Engineers, Feb 3)``

Then earlier Feb 20: ``Rádio Clube de Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo,
Brazil, reactivates its old transmitter on short waves, at a frequency
of 15415 kHz. They did this because the Brazilian government expanded
the law for migrating radio stations from medium waves to FM, also
including concessions in short waves and tropical waves. This could
result in the temporary return of many inactive Brazilian radio
concessions on tropical waves and short waves. When they reactivate
the short wave and tropical wave frequencies, they will request
migration to FM and thus the owners gain another FM radio. 73 Jorge
Freitas, Feira de Santana, Bahia``

No doubt it would be better via SAm remotes I haven`t tried yet but
others have. An excellent frequency choice as EiBi, Aoki and HFCC show
absolutely nothing else on 15415 ever. Axually merely coincidental
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Feb 20 at 2252. RHC Spanish S9+30 with squeal and hash
gradually diminishing out to plus/minus 15 kHz = 11745/11775.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 7580, Feb 20 at 0728, JBA Japanese as VOK
starts at 0700. Much better JJ on 7380 from NHK direct (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Feb 20 at 1523, YL in presumed Dhivehi,
S9/+25 one of bestsigs on band; 1529 theme with drumming; 1529:45
quick English s/off as Voice of Martyrs Korea and off 1530*. Almost
always audible well from 1500, but relogged for the record;
unbelievable site listed in Aoki, Uzbekistan; believable: Kununurra,
Australia if not Taiwan, but not confirmed. Unknown in EiBi;
deliberately absent from HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, Feb 20 at 1525, JBA signal; I remain
confident that it`s pirate Hikari FM, from Arizona or Sonora, as
originally identified on signature off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 255 kHz, Feb 20 at 0732 UT, still no signal from SW,
50-watt NDB in StillWater. I keep seeking it in every LW bandscan;
used to be audible day and night with tolerable lower noise level. RNA
list shows it last logged 2023-12-26. It`s had long temporary outages
before (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SWAZILAND. 15104.95 approx., Feb 20 at 1533, TWR music-box IS, ID
as Eswátini, 1534 into language; odd timing, running late? EiBi shows
15105 M-F 1532-1621 in TIG to EAf - would that be Tigre or Tigrinya?
``TIG Tigrinya/Tigray: Ethiopia (4m), Eritrea (3m) [tir]``
Perceptibly off-frequency minus; is Manzini otherwise found askew?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TIBET [non]. 12125, Feb 20 at 1530, non-Chinese talk mixing with
music, S9+20. EiBi shows RFA Tibetan via TINIAN this hour only, so
with CNR1 jamming, maybe same as on 9940, which would be CNR1 jamming
against RFA Mandarin via SAIPAN this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 9610.007, Feb 20 at 2300, VOT English s/on
recognizable but VP despite S9/+10 on meter direct. Found here after
nothing on correct 5960 a few minutes earlier. 9610 is supposed to run
at 2130-2226 only for the previous English broadcast. At 2330 I check
UTwente: still nothing but XJRTV in Chinese from EAST TURKISTAN. 9610
still with VOT but extremely heavy CCI equal strength totalling
S9+15/20, which must be the only other schedulee, CNR8 Mongolian from
Beijing site. TRT includes 2337 outro `Weekly Commentary`, 2342
`Turkey`s Geomarked [sic] Products`.

Hey, let`s make it two totally wrong broadcasts! Stays on 9610 past
0000 Feb 21 with German which is not supposed to be on SW at all. The
QRM soon abates, CNR8 off earlier than expected 0100? But CRI Hakka
via Kunming starts at 0000. Some breakup in German mod, finally
offchopped at 0008? No, that`s my Internet interrupted! Back on by
0015, still German with lots of CCCCCCI. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Feb 20 after 2300, nor Feb 21 by 0020, no signal from
WTWW; not sure, but not noticed last few nights either. No word yet on
latest problem (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Feb 20 at 0727, music S7/S8, RV reactivated, a bit
better signal than usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** YEMEN [non]. 11819 approx., Feb 20 at 1527, roar at S7/S8, the
totally defective Sa`udi transmitter for Republic of Yemen Radio. Even
worse, also direct, at 2250, S9+10, maybe a hint of program audio in
the mush with USB tuning. Something`s sorry in Sa`udi Arabia (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. OG&E local line noise level has abated slightly, so I
detect some more LW beacons, but not well enough to copy IDs:

258 kHz, Feb 20 at 0733, maybe with a dash = Canada. The *only* 258 in
dxinfocentre.com is ZSJ, 1000 watts from Sandy Lake, Ont., last logged
Dec 24, 2022 at 0728. RNA has only one other worldwide, LU in Angola.

336 kHz, Feb 20 at 0735, trace of a beacon/carrier. RNA shows only two
in Greenland, AA and QQ; and one other in N America, MA in Cadillac
MI, maybe miskeying at MET; all powers unknown. DXinfocentre.com shows
25 watts and only one more, in Tanzania (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13800 USB, Feb 20 at 1523, 2-way in Spanish, Intruders
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
