** ASCENSION. 7305, Feb 16 at 0528, B-B-C- chimes, S9+10/20, 0529
sign-on in Hausa, mentions of Nigeria, 125 kW at 27 degrees; weaker
than 7285 also Ascension, in English, 125 kW at 65 degrees. 7305 adds
another semihour in French at 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 6180 S9+30 // much weaker 11780, Mon Feb 16 at 0748, token
English already on RNA, yet another ep about samba schools, something
about 80th anniversary in April, and a parade. YL voice accented so
not AI this time; 0754 into Spanish. Enough about samba schools
already: can we get on to some significant current events? (Glenn
Hauer, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9710, Mon Feb 16 at 0524, surprised to hear French talking
about Cuba, S9+10/20. And at 0542, fraxured French = Kriyol. NOT known
times for these langs on RHC which this must be. Meanwhile, a JBA
carrier on 11760.
RHC website has a new look, and apparently deleted any info about SW
broadcasts! The programming page showing timeblox is mostly blank:
https://www.radiohc.cu/programacion/
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Mon Feb 16 at 1935 into Knoxville SDR, RHC Kriyol
S8/S9 into Knoxville SDR, and // weaker and windhowly 15140. English
sometimes follows at 2000 but usual cut to dead air just before then.
Next check at 1955: yes, already DA. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ECUADOR. 6050, Feb 16 at 0535, HCJB is stiil on, but no +/- 12~ kHz
spurs detectable this time. After 0600 this would be clashing with
coreligionists at ELWA Liberia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 1700 kHz, Feb 16 at 0754,``Escuchas tu DN Radio``, so must
be XEPE Tecate BCN, 10/10 kW, not one of the Texans. This is a sports
format, but what means DN? Deportes Nacionales? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475 AM, Feb 16 at 0530, thintonations of Josiah on
Station YHWH, S9+10 undermodulated direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9650, Feb 16 at 0526 Turkish music S9+10/20. Good frequency
for VOT aimed thisaway, 250 kW, 310 degrees at 04-07 in Turkish only
unless Englished by mistake (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 293 MCW kHz, Feb 16 at 0719 UT, UI, JBA undermixing with FBY
FairBurY NE, i.e. qUIncy IL. Is it really on the left bank of the
Miss? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2334 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
February 15 at 2021 the 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.997,
S9+10/15 into nearby Noale SDR.

Also confirmed Sunday February 15 at 2109 the 2100 on WRN Europe
stream.

Also confirmed Sunday February 15 at 2255 the 2230 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, 3975.002-, VP S8/S9 into Utwente. [I know a very poor rating
yet S8/S9 may seem strange, but considering all things, noise level,
etc.]

Also confirmed Sunday February 15 at 2330 on WRMI 9455, S9+25 into
Knoxville SDR; interrupted Israeli music fill.

Also confirmed UT Monday February 16 at 0000 on WRMI 9395, S9+10 into
Knoxville SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday February 16 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9 direct
but noisy.

Also confirmed UT Monday February 16 from 0403 on Area 51 webcast;
this week JL ran slightly over on 5130- WBCQ which has to chop to
s/off at 0400 sharp. W. C. Fields had a comment just before me. Next:

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5950, Feb 16 at 0532, this WRMI is off, unlike last night
when it was still on past 0730 with WOR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7780, 7570, 5850, Feb 16 at 0717, classical music on WRMIs
but 5950 is off. Presumably a Sunday program of DW as sked on WRN
relay, rather than `Encore` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Feb 16 at 0531, S9+10/20 but fadey, undermod talk, in
Hindi? from WRNO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 660 kHz, Feb 16 at 0608 UT, strong S9+10 C&W tune, ``Highway
Robbery``, then KTNN ID in English, from Window Rock, Tohatchi and one
other town in coverage area in rotation; S9+10 and stronger than 650
WSM. Obviously not nulling toward NYC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, Feb 16 at 0522, no signal from R. Vanuatu which Ron
Howard reported reactivated here, but apparently switching earlier
than before to 7260. On Feb 15 via NZ remote, Ron was hearing 9960 at
0315, but by 0530 they were already on 7260. Walt Salmaniw had 7260 at
0658, but did they then QSY again? No, Manuel Méndez, Spain, still had
7260 at 0817 Feb 15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 15490, Feb 16 at 1524, S5/S7 in S Asian song. It`s VR in
Malayalam at 1510-1530 from SMG, preceded by 1430-1510 Hindi & Tamil.
Hardly any other 19mb signals between 15150 WMLK and 15770 WRMI, as VR
again penetrates NAm even when aimed far away (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1130 kHz, Feb 16 at 0602 UT, song in Spanish, better on
E/W loop than N/S shortwire. Cheater KLEY Wellington KS apparently
off, while English talk presumably KWKH. NRC AM Log shows SS in AL,
CA, GA, SC, TN, TX -- all supposedly daytimers, except KSDO San Diego
U4 10/10 kW, CP U4 5000/300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 1170, Feb 16 at 0605 UT, Mex NA, then other music, on N/S
shortwire only, assisted by fade of KOTV Tulsa to the east. Only two
XEs on 1170, more likely XERT Reynosa Tams, daytimer at night, than
XECSEJ Aguascalientes2, only a CP as of 2023y (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1310 kHz, Feb 16 at 0555 UT, choral Mex NA is playing
until 0600, then no Spanish, may have turned off or faded out. There
are 7 XEs on 1310 in IRCA Mexican Log, 5 of them 24h. At bottom is a
separate roster of stations showing how and when they play the NA, but
none of them fit this just before 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1350 kHz, Feb 16 at 0554 UT, ``La Onda Chicana``, then
call ID in English could not copy except ending in -AM, and Mexmx.
Surely a US not Mexican, but no such slogan listed in NRC AM Log.
Broad search implies the expression applies to a sub?genre, not an ID.
Most likely is `Tejano` KXTN San Antonio TX, U2 5/5 kW (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1441.67 approx., Feb 16 at 0552 UT, JBA carrier again
hetting 1440s (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1460.34 approx., Feb 16 at 0550 UT, JBA carrier hetting
1460s. Nothing further off than 1460.02 at mwoffsets (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1710 kHz, Feb 16 at 0545 UT, JBA carrier; EiBi has been
hearing a pirate there in Alabama, but no doubt other pirates and
HAR/TIS exist (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5036 USB, Feb 16 at 0537, 2-way in colloquial Spanish,
barely far enough from 5025 Rebelde which is not off the air (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST update Feb 15

Hi Glenn, My latest Hitlist update.

1) China - Hello Xizang: Re-added links to home page, schedules and
recent programmes (Thanks to Ron Howard in WOR iog mail list)
2) Cuba - R Havana Cuba: Updated links to archived programmes (with
new archived programmes page, although on some occasions unfortunately
just displays "bad gateway" message)
3) Ivory Coast - R Augusta International: Moved entry from "Belgium"
to correct "Ivory Coast"

web page
5) Turkey - TRT V of Turkey: Deleted link to TSR frequencies (page no
longer exists, no alternative page found)
6) USA - KSKO Public R: Deleted entry (Now that Paul Walker has left
KSKO, there is not likely to be any further shortwave relays of this
station).
7) Zambia - V of Hope: Deleted entries for VoH shortwave frequency and
programme pages (no longer active on SW); amended links for live
stream - now labelled for VoH 1287 AM.

The next update is scheduled for mid March.
Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe

** CUBA. 11880, Sun Feb 15 at 1604, RHC Esperanto S9/+12 into Georgia
SDR, and // 15140 S9/+20 but undermodulated with windhowl. Not on
11760. Since RHC consists of nouns, the abbr. must be pronounced as
``rah-DEE-oh, ho tso``, i.e. ending in -o (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9660, Sun Feb 15 at 1740, VOT English, vs huge noise blob
into UTwente and remotes in ME, but back to UTwente where it can be
escaped by USB tuning. At 1744 after news, a song, `Letterbox` not
stsrt until 1748. Cemre previews contacts from India to Portuguese
islands, apologizes for her voice today which is ``less than
perfect``. 1) Mr Bolsop??, Amsterdam, Netherlands. 2) two from Mr.
Annan? --? Bayan?, pres. of an SWL Club in India; first report was via
UTwente, second via SDR in Bogor, Indonesia. 3) Jorge Garzón
Gutiérrez, Cantabria, northern Spain, with IberiaDX website. By now
1757 the LSB noise is off. She repeatedly refers to him as Mr.
Gutiérrez instead of Garzón, i.e. matronymic instead of patronymic. I
doubt she does this out of a sense of feminism or even gender
equality. Discussing butterflies: one can visit ``A tropical butterfly
garden`` somewhere in Turkey. 4) Jayanta Chakraborty, New Delhi,
perpetual. 5) finally, Ernesto Castanha?, Azores, who reports on
German at 1230 on 15270. 1806 ending, 1807 theme (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Feb 15 at 0045, RHC dead air except for windhowl is
still on much later than usual, S9+10/20 direct along with 11880 clean
deadair S9+20/30. Not on air: 11760, 9710, 6000. 5990 China relay with
music is S9+20/30 but JBM. By 0110,5990 is off and 6000 is on with
S9+15/20 of dead air. Ahem, with the energy shortage plaguing Cuba,
why in the world are they wasting all these kilowatts on
non-broadcasts?!?! Incompetence, something`s always wrong. However on
the plus side, NO Cuban jamming has been heard for many months against
SW opposition broadcasts. However2, 1180 and other MW frequencies
continue to be blocked by piles of Cuban transmitters, which amounts
to jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 1060, Feb 15 at 0119 UT, Mexmx and ``La Raza 10-60``.
Suspect dentro-Mexicans don`t need to emphasize their racial group,
unlike in USA as minority. But only two or three SS USA in NRC AM Log
with no such identity. IRCA Mexican Log goes right to XERDO in
Matamoros, right on the border: ``1060 XERDO Tama Matamoros 7000 2500

Computer was also off so could not check WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO via

** ECUADOR. 6038.6, Feb 14 at 0725, very diffuse extremely distorted

Also confirmed Friday February 13 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, S9/+12 into

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, UT Sat Feb 14: into Vermont SDR
which is accurately calibrated compared to WWV: *0055, 5130 -52 Hz =
5129.948 cuts on with The Planet ID & IS loop. Mainly I`m listening to
(7490) webcast. FKB finishes after 30-second warning tone, dead air,
0100.5 ID, and `WTO` theme, first interjexion, ``Oho, Argh?`` - ``OK,
before AI takes over our minds and the world```, single word,
``Real``. 5130 seems late joining, and way out of synch, as is JBA
6160. It`s World Radio Day. Allan thinx there are *billions* of SW
radios out there. Since world population of humans is now about 8.3
billion, that means one out of 4 or 5 persons has a SW radio, if there
be at least 2 billion; yeah, right. Concerned about AI slop,
ever-increasing electric consumption, driving up costs for
everything/one else. 0118 datestamp as 13 Feb YOOLF 2026, from Studio
9 in Deland of Fla. 0119 check, JBA on 6160, 5130. 0126 song ``Mr
Postman``. WLC has left 9330 at least *temporarily*, so available.
0138 acknowledges lots of reception reports, first names only: Norway;
0140 David in Mexico; 0142 Nestor in Argentina. 0133 Siddartha in
India for Angela on 6160. Dmitry in Russia. Bad news: Akanko (??sp??)
company in California has stopped rebuilding hi-power transmitting
tubes. Continental has been sold to a horrible corporate thing. 0150
from Mark in Michigan. 6160 R. Angela has been suspended, can`t afford
the costs to run it. Joseph somewhere. Edward in NJ. Yokota, Japan,
etc.... (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1190, Feb 14 at 0806 UT, ``Talk Radio 1190, KFXR``. U4 50/5
kW but seldom heard here; night pattern from site NE of Dallas, east
of Garland, has minor lobe due north but notch to the NNW; day pattern
from a *different* site west of Dallas barely reaches OKC on fringe
contour. I am more interested in something in Spanish (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Feb 14 at 0710, R. Vanuatu still here with S4/S7
talk direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6016.8 approx., Feb 14 at 0723, JBA carrier, again
suspecting Organización Radial El Prado, still not sought earlier
before 0200 maybe modulating (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1814 UT February 14

** ASCENSION. See DRM report below

** ECUADOR. 6050, Feb 13 at 0718, song at S7/S9, HCJB still 24h (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. See DRM report below

** NORTH AMERICA. Correxion to original version; replace with: 9025
AM, Feb 12 at 1551, presidential pirate with clip of JFK inauguration,
S7/S9, off already at next check 1556. Maybe on and off for next hour?
but not followed further. Today should have been Lincoln. But turning
radio back on at 1853 still tuned to 9025, S8/S9 of JFK, 1855 a bit of
Sousa and back to FDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2334)

** ROMANIA. 11620, Feb 13 at 0708, German S4/S5: it`s RRI Tsiganeshti
at 0700-0730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Feb 13 at 0724, JBA carrier vs slop from
5025 Cuba, no doubt SIBC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN. 7290, Feb 13 at 1528, S6/S7 music and talk, Korean. EiBi
shows it`s Nippon no Kaze, clandestine for Korea North (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U K O B G A N I. See DRM report below

** VANUATU [and non]. 7260, Feb 13 at 0713, R. Vanuatu is back here! I
bandscan past here every night, and now no JBA carrier on 5040. S4/S6
of talk presumed Bislama, keyword giveaway ``b`long``; 0715 mentions
Vanuatu. 0759 sounds like French, music. So just a few hours after I
record WOR 2334 mentioning that it`s still on 5040 instead of 7260 or
9960 where we can hear it much better, immediately outdating my item!
I figured Ron Howard would notice this too, and he did but not until
0725 via NZ remote, so I beat him to it, hi! He points out that Feb 15
is celebrated as John Frum Festival of the cargo cult. Meanwhile, NZ
on 13755 is JBA carrier instead of often standout signal (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 4940, Feb 13 at 0722, song with harp, S9+20, Estación
4940, much stronger than usual JBA, always there overnight, AFAIK the
*only* S American on 60m at this hour. Don`t you believe the Aoki list
which misses this completely but shows instead the only 4940 as R. San
Antonio, Perú, which is long gone but sometimes assumed by
list-loggers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6016.78, Feb 13 at 0717, S6/S8 of dead air, or is it
just barely modulated? Again suspect Colombian pirate Organización
Radial El Prado close to signature split frequency as also logged 48
hours ago on 6016.74. Need to check before 0200, its original closing
time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Checking some of the DRM tests for World Radio Day, via remotes:

15255-15260-15265, Feb 13 at 1545, S9/+10 into TWR Cyprus SDR, YL talk
at first in unknown language, then my brain lox onto Portuguese. Math
lessons, alternating with bits of music. Solid reception but rather
lo-fi, 7.50 kbps; labeled Education Radio. At 1558 switch to German
about DRM and off 1559*. This one scheduled as: ``15:00–16:00 15260
kHz Europe Woofferton A928A Encompass Directional antenna (114°)``

21600-21605-21610, Feb 13 at 1600, no signal into TWR Cyprus, but at
1627 try TWR Jo`burg RSA, and there it is S9+10/20, strong signal
visible but not audible, rx overloaded? The other RSA SDR at 1632 has
S3 signal, inaudible, then audio cuts on and off, labeled as
``Education Radio``. This hour was: ``16:00–17:00 21605 kHz Central
and Southern Africa Nauen Media Broadcast Directional antenna
(167°)``

15305-15310-15315, Feb 13 at 1700, into Jo`burg, French S9/+10,
labeled Education Radio, 14.52 kbps. At 1709 switch to Spanish about
DRM from Great Britain. But this is: ``17:00–18:00 15310 kHz East
Africa Nauen Media Broadcast Directional antenna (150°)`` Cuts to
silence much of the time. Label alternating languages including:
``Esta transmissão especial por ocasião do Dia Mundial do Rádio da
UNESCO é transmitida pela Media Broadcast –
1 xHE_AAC (1002) Education Radio EEP Data 14.52 kbps
2 (1003) Edu Textbook EEP Data 6.44 kbps`` - the latter not observed.

15630-15635-15640, Feb 13 at 1907, no signal into RSA; Sao Bernardo,
Brasil sees DRM less than S7 but no audio, labeled as Education Radio,
7.50 kbps; cutting in & out: 1911 geometry lesson in English; 1932
French cutting on and off. This is: ``19:00–20:00 15635 kHz Eastern
Gulf of Guinea Woofferton A912 Encompass Directional antenna
(170°)``

17565-17570-17575, Feb 12 at 2020, Brasília displays S9+10 but no
sound. ``20:00–21:00 17570 kHz Brazil and parts of Latin America
Ascension A21 Encompass Directional antenna (265°)``

Overall, I am not impressed. Requires *work* merely to tune in, and
then you can`t necessarily get a solid signal. Give me an analog
anytime, which will remain audible/readable even when fading (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
