 ** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Tue Feb 24 at 2256, WRMI S9+30/40 concluding relay of DW in English via WRN - which they refuse to provide themselves on SW; 2300 tango music, multi-lingual RAE ID, more and more music, no announcements in any language past 2325+. At least there is no more DX olds in Portuguese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BRAZIL. 11780 // 6180, Feb 25 at 0750, RNA announcing s/on of the two SW frequencies, despite having been running for quite a while, often by 0730. And right into token English, another ep about RNA`s founding in March 1974, admittedly originally broadcast in March 2024. Parque Rodeador became one of the largest radio sites anywhere and Brasil`s first opportunity to reach the whole world. Barely into it when time is up by 0754 ID and switch to Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 11750.95, Feb 25 at 2319, carrier here, presumably R. Voz Missionária in latest variation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 28460 USB, Feb 24 at 2317, ZV3BA calling CQ LABRE. Not in QRZ.com but I guess in Baía, like ZV6BA which is on the LABRE list (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 28475 USB, Feb 24 at 2319, PP5OT calling CQDX in English, then working a KB7. QRZ.com: ``PP5OT Brazil flag Brazil, ORIDES BAULER, caixa postal 104, Timbó - Santa Catarina, sc 89120970, Brazil`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 28330 USB, Feb 25 at 2308, PU5JAT, calling CQ DX 10 in English. QRZ.com: ``PU5JAT Brazil flag Brazil, Jaques "JAQUES" Teixeira, POBox 337, Timbo, SC 89090970, Brazil - also with a useful map about `Understand the Brazilians Callsigns` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 28456 USB, Feb 25 at 22311, PY2UD calling QRZ from SP state. QRZ.com: ``PY2UD Brazil flag Brazil, Guilherme "Vaz", P.O.BOX - 121, Tatuí, SP 18270970, Brazil`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 24927 CW, Feb 25 at 2303, EEEEE VVV DE VA3KAH/B - like now, this is the only beacon or phone signal to be heard on the 12m band, while meanwhile, 10m is hopping full as is 11m CB. Part of info at QRZ.com: ``VA3KAH Canada flag Canada, Ian Douglas Baines, 33 Faircrest Blvd, Kingston, ON K7L 4V1, Canada. Kah-She Island - In Georgian Bay, Ontario (one of the Great Lakes) The little Island heard around the world. EN95WC - Amateur radio station VA3KAH is located on Kah-She Island in Georgian Bay, Ontario. Four continuous CW radio beacons are located on the island, on 44, 22, 12, and 10 meters. The beacons operate 24 / 7 and are unattended from November to May. Thanks to its location far from shore in one of the Great Lakes, Kah She Island is considered an exotic beacon location and is highly prized by listeners from around the world. We try to provide propagation information by operating a number of micro-power to higher powered beacons on several bands. These include: 44 m 6783.4 KHz in the ISM band "VA3KAH/B" (dipole @ 18') 22 m 13566 KHz in the ISM band "KAH" (vertical @ 12') 12 m 24927 KHz 10 (watts output (dipole at 32') 10 m 28168 KHz 10 watts output (vertical @ 48') 6 m 50.054 MHz 10 watts (OCF dipole @ 35')`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, Feb 25 at 0750, RHC still on with S9+ of windhowl. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, Feb 25 at 1538, S8/S9 of deadair from RHC except for some windhowl. 15230 is S5/S6 with JBM music. 11760 at 1542 S9 music in clear. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11880, Feb 25 at 2318, S9+10/20 of dead air from RHC, SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 17725-17730-17735, Feb 25 at 1537, S6/S7 DRM noise. EiBi shows TDF irregular at 14-18 for NEu, also 20-21 irr. for CAm (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 660 kHz, Feb 25 at 0711, XEFZ Monterrey with full ID starting with XHGBO 92.1, ABC Deportes, ``sabemos cómo se juega``. Tho 10/1 kW, often atop 660 unless KTNN be confronting New York (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 5140 USB, Wed Feb 25 at *1500, Oklahoma emergency ops net, which was missing exactly one week ago. NCS is again WPFY721, Seminole. Rollcall in alfabetical order by locations, and answers if any: WQYW443 Beckham County [like Elk City]; WQZT582 Broken Arrow; WQSY836 Byng EOC; Jeff answers, ops normal; WNPV700 Durant, Bryan County; Bill answers L&C, strongest of all as usual; WQYW883 Moore EOC; answers but JBA to me and to NCS; WNUW216 OKC [`Mac`?]; WNUW215 Ponca City [rollcall identical to Feb 11 except not this one]; KNGR728 Pontotoc County [like Ada, close to Byng]; WSHM692 `State of Oklahoma` [that`s Breanna in Edmond, NCS elsewhen]; WNBM839 Stillwater EOC, Joe answers; WNCH625 Tulsa EOC; At 1506, any others? WNBE830, Corey? of Missouri State Emergency Management [Jefferson City] replies; MO net maybe at 1530 but not mentioned or checked; Anyone else? Algo JBA? but not acknowledged. Net closes at 1508, and by now NCS WPFY721 is weakening. Reception should improve from March 11 with the imposition of DST so retimed to 1400 UT, losing an hour of daylight (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** PANAMA. 28453 USB, Feb 25 at 2310, HP1ELV calling CQ DX. QRZ.com: ``HP1ELV Panama flag Panama, Edgar Labrador Viane, Don Bosco, Juan Diaz, Via Tocumen, Casa #1104, Calle#3, Ave#2, PANAMA zip 0837 Zip 0837 {sic| Panama {sic thruout instead of Panamá} (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Feb 25 at 2300, REE weekly token English, S9+20/30 direct, and also only on much weaker 17715 for S America, NO signal on 12030 for ME, and still missing 17755 for Africa. Preview topix: anniversary of Russia`s war on Ukraine; something else happened 45 years ago. 9690 already fading down a bit but still sufficient. Yet I find it tiring listening thru the heavy accent of the OM. Something`s not right at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 24 at 2258, VOT direct reads S9/+10. but dead air? or JBM/JBA IS. 2300 timesignal finishes about 1 second early compared to WWV which I have just checked. At 2340 into UTwente, 5960.002+ S9+35/40 with Turkish music; 2344 ``with you every hour`` promo; 2354 s/off as if it`s 1330 on 13635 - something`s still awry at Ankara; 2355 fragment of IS and off* uncovering China (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [non]. 5960.001+, Feb 25 at 2259, no signal direct from VOT; nor at 2352 into UTwente, when measured, too accurately for TRT, Chinese songs only. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2335 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday February 24 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.997+, S9/+12 into nearby Noale SDR. Also confirmed UT Wednesday February 25 at 0030 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 3975.002-, S8/9+5 into UTwente. Also confirmed UT Wednesday February 25 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+20 into Georgia SDR. Also confirmed Wednesday February 25 starting early at 2028 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 3975.001+, S8/9+5 into UTwente. Also confirmed Wednesday February 25 at 2200 on WBCQ 7490 -15 Hz, S7/S9 into Maryland SDR. Preceded by unknown music, not TOMBS as has been, nor long-gone Pirate Joe Extravaganzo, yet still on the websked. Next: 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW ; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160 {may be canceled; see below}; 0030 UT Friday WRMI 5950 to NNW {new to be confirmed}; Thanks this week to Moises J Corilloclla, Rego Park NY, originally from Peru, for a check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [non]. Hi Glenn, on short notice --- we might to have to cancel your 1730 UT outlet on Thursday. We had a promising enquiry from a 12-year old group of radio maniacs, who want to get on the air desperately on shortwave. We thought we let them a go for a test: https://shortwaveradio.de/en/TalkMusic Nothing for sure but we love to support youngsters. Just to let you know. Show will be most probably in German language and the WhatsApp link is NOT available for adults. I sort out any email for this station for all DX-ers tomorrow. Cheers for now, Andy (Shortwave Radio from Winsen on the river Aller, Germany), Feb 24) ** U S A. 9395, Feb 24 at 2300, this WRMI finally back on air, with `Truth 2 Ponder` lamenting he doesn`t have hundreds of thousands of followers like some you-tubers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, Feb 25 at 2322, S9+20/30 of Portuguese, but not solid, off the side, as World`s Last Chance Radio is suddenly and finally back on WBCQ SuperStition after temporary ``bankruptcy?``. I have been checking 9330 at least once a day (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15555 USB, Feb 24 at 1546, no signal from WJHR. In fact, have not hit it in some weeks on random daytime bandscanning, supposedly scheduled 1358-2200 per EiBi. So is it ever on the air? When I did hear it, I wondered whether only tnx to a sporadic E opening from this glorified ham station. Last report I find was in the Dec 21, 2025 NASWA Flashsheet, from Cichorek-NJ, but omitting time and date! Last time I logged it was Sept 26, 2025 until 2203*, but surely heard since, but ignored. At that time, I also noted it had been missing until then. Note occasionally has been on 15550 USB instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1090, Feb 25 at 2343-2346 UT, nothing direct via E/W longwire except RCC talk about Pope, etc., S9+10, so it`s EWTN on KEXS Excelsior Springs MO, no sign of KAAY Little Rock AR, which I have been trying to catch powering down from 50 to 3.4 kW at LSS, but not at 2345 in Feb? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VATICAN. 13830, Feb 25 at 1542, VR in Amharic, S9+5/25, and would you believe it`s axually stronger here than Greenville Martí on 13820?! which is only S5/S9; and also exceeding 13845 WWCR. VR also strong S9/+10 on // 15565. These are supposedly aimed oppositely toward Ethiopia. No other significant signals from Europe on either band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1070 kHz, Feb 25 at 0703 UT, CBS news, could be KNX? But KHMO Hannibal MO is also a CBS affil; fading down by 0706 when I want to confirm whether Scott Jennings Show I heard before be coming from KHMO. No answer, yet to my inquiry of the station. Sked still shows Charlie Kirk, and most/all their other talkshows are far-right extremists (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1550 kHz, Feb 25 at 0802 UT, ID starts with WO+ something. The only fit in NRC AM Log seems very unlikely, but: WOCC Corydon IN U1 250/6 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 0045 UT February 26

 ** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Mon Feb 23 at 2300, WRMI in Chinese, eventually mentioning RAE and pronouncing mail/website in English letters. VG signal for some Chinese porteño in deep North America. Or maybe they hope this 315 degree/NW beam from Okee will carry on to China. But my globe shows Peking is about 342 from Okee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BRAZIL. 6180 // 11780, Feb 24 at 0750, RNA token English with another ep about Parque Rodeador, creation of RNA by the military dictatorship 52 years ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA [and non]. 6100, Feb 23 at 2304, Chinese music fill instead of Portuguese, from Beijing 572 site, much weaker and fadier than on // 13650 via CUBA. The inscrutable Orientals (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 11760, Feb 24 at 0754, RHC still on at S9+20 in order to provide windhowl; by 1547, 11760 good S9 music not howling, whilst 15140, the usual howler at this hour, is off; SAWA. R. Martí compensates for this by deadairing on 15380 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11880, Feb 24 at 1951, RHC Kriyol good S9+20 into Georgia SDR, barely audible under windhowl on S9+10/15 15140. Modulation cut incomplete at 1954 on 11880, dead air carrier stays on, no English after 2000. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Feb 23 at 2303, VOT not off the air, but VP S9+10 direct. By 2355 check via UTwente, Chinese music already, 0000 timesignal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 305 MCW kHz, Feb 24 at 0720 UT, OI, 25-watt ND beacon `Tommi`, South Sioux City NE. Surprised to hear this with no trace of RO, 400 watts `Topan` Roswell NM, normally only it; tho recently had both mixing. Is RO off now? Note: RNA list location, while dxinfocentre puts it up in Sioux City IA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 374 MCW kHz, Feb 24 at 0723 UT, HY, 25-watt ND beacon at `Nette` Hays KS; I was tuned to 372 USB. On Feb 10 I could copy only the Y in call, but had to be this (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 382 MCW kHz, Feb 24 at 0724 UT, SP, 25-watt ND beacon at `Huskk` Springfield IL; I was tuned to 380 USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. ``Regarding the open carrier on 6938 -- a possible clue as to what it might be. I was monitoring 43 metres last night and caught an unid pirate on 6935 USB at 0251 UT. Fairly weak signal with music and voice only occasionally breaking through the noise. At 0303 I noticed a carrier on 6938 with a short bit of CW. At first I thought this was related to the jamming cat and mouse game against Band-Aid Radio that shifted between 6940 and 6960 between 0230 and 0330, but remembered that I usually do see this carrier there most nights I'm rubbish at trying to decode CW, and I think I was getting like 02XPYTR out of it -- but other ears might be better --- go to about 11:30 into the clip: https://iframe.mediadelivery.net/play/502138/9616e8f2-9180-4c3b-b6c0-2de1be2ea216 Tony Pavick, Hope BC`` ``Can play at 0.5 speed - it`s WO2XPY - looks like a USA experimental callsign. Glenn`` ``Thank you Glenn. According to this post: https://groups.io/g/HDXCC/topic/112904029 `RCA Telecom has added a third transmission site to WO2XPY in West Chicago. It comprises a 10 kW amplifier, three Yagi antennas including this one, plus this log-periodic array. “Grant of this application will serve the public interest because it will allow RCA to determine maximum efficient use of HF spectrum as it works toward developing a system for commercial use,” the company told the FCC. (FCC rules do not permit commercial shortwave data transmission to foreign points. The Commission is still chewing on a Shortwave Modernization Coalition petition to allocate some HF frequencies to this purpose. See ERN #9.) WO2XPY is authorized to use 14 bands between 6 and 29 MHz. Running more than 246 kW ERP in 14.35‒14.99 MHz – just above the 20-meter Amateur Radio band – it is “not capable of transmitting station identification,” RCA told the FCC. The Commission waived the station ID rule, as it typically does on request.` Tony`` ``That carrier is often there and very strong in Masset. So strong that I thought it was something local. Virtually always an OC only. Walt`` Salmaniw, BC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2335 monitoring: confirmed Monday February 23 at 2030.5 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 3975.000+, S8/9+5 into UTwente. Also confirmed UT Tuesday February 24 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S7/9+5 into Georgia SDR. Again some speaker was cut off abruptly in time for me. Also confirmed Tuesday February 24 at 1415 the 1400 on WRMI 9955, S9/+5 direct. Also confirmed Tuesday February 24 at 1509 the 1500 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 direct. Next: 2100 UT Tuesday IRRS SW via AM Italia 1323; 0030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 0130 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 2030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160 {may be canceled} 0030 UT Friday WRMI 5950 to NNW {new to be confirmed; see below}. Thanks this week to Moises J Corilloclla, Rego Park NY, originally from Peru, for a check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) NOTE! I see that the WRMI System L skedgrid has just been updated as of today! Feb 23, 2026, with a new airing of WOR: UT Friday 0030 on 5950. That will become Thursday 2330 once DST be imposed; just before the time I am usually completing recording of a new WOR. If I can get it done a bit earlier, might upload in time to get this on air ASAP rather than first at 1300 Friday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17790, Feb 23 at 2223, this WRMI back on the air, and after 23 relay Taiwan in French. 9395 still off by 0017 Feb 24 uninto Georgia SDR. 17790, Feb 24 at 1544, JBA carrier direct, Romania instead of WRMI? But 1702 into Maryland SDR, 17790 is on with gospel singing and instrumentals, rather pleasant fill until gospel huxter near Walterboro starts at 1715, S7; while `Brasila` SDR where it`s aimed gets only a trace of a carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9350, Feb 23 at 2224, WWCR-2 also back on air here on frequency following 12160, preceding 5935 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 910 kHz, Feb 24 at 0713 UT, ad for Brookings Automall, so it`s KJJQ, Volga SD, U4 500/500 watts, ``The Ranch``, address in Brookings. Night pattern with notch to SW protecting Wichita, and almost Enid, but major lobe to SSW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1070 kHz, Feb 24 at 0746 UT, `Scott Jennings show`. See previous log connecting it to KNTH Houston, but not at this hour. In the continued absence of KFTI Wichita, suspect it`s KHMO Hannibal MO, IDed previously. But on its sked at 12-3 am CST is the Charlie Kirk Show, and I understand that he is no longer available. KHMO is a Salem affiliate, so perhaps Jennings has replaced Kirk but sked not yet updated. There are a few other SRN affils on 1070 in NRC AM Log, all less likely than KHMO. I`ve asked KHMO if it`s them (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2051 UT February 24

 ** BRAZIL. 6180 // 11780, Mon Feb 23 at 0750, token English from RNA, introduced as originally from March 2024 when RNA`s 50th anniversary was celebrated, explaining how it came about. At first there were some modulation dropouts if not the carriers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. Tim Hall, compiler of the IRCA Mexican Log, replies to my 590 unID: ``XEE turned off their AM last month. XEGTO is believed to be silent. They were definitely silent from at least 11/24 to 4/25, and I haven't seen any reports of them coming back on the air yet. XEPH should be // XEBS-1410, but I have never managed to log both of them simultaneously. In the western states where I DX, XEBS is an easy catch whereas XEPH is almost never heard. 73 Tim`` So by elimination that leaves ``590 XEPH CDMX México 25000 10000 Sabrosita 5-90 y 14-10, La Más Caliente, Sabrosita Digital`` as listed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 640 kHz, Feb 23 at 0600, notes of Mex NA audible here, but little chance of overcoming KWPN OK et al. IRCA Mexican Log shows three: XELOVE/XEJUA Chih, XENQ Hdgo, XETAM Tama. plus another with CP but had tested, XECCCN Zac. Local midnight is a great time to spot Mexicans at NA time, but without further clues, non-IDable. NA now also on 540, 550, 610, 690, 760 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 770, Feb 23 at 0557, Spanish, all about Kenia [¿Quenia?], 0558 full ID for XERFR, 9-70 AM, Grupo Fórmula, 50 mil watts`` and national anthem. Ahem, network relays should suppress specific IDs for originating stations. This is really XEACH in Monterrey NL, 25/1 kW, two more XEs on 770 unlikely to make it here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 1570, UT Mon Feb 23 at 0604, XERF playing Coahuila anthem, full ID for 1570 and 103.9 including street address, phone numbers, toll-free inside Mexico, 800-700-1570. Lyrix: https://educacion.seducoahuila.gob.mx/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/HIMNO-COAHUILENSE-LETRA.pdf One can also hear it via websearches (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 335 MCW kHz, Feb 23 at 0727, BK, 25-watt NDB at Brookings SD; more readable tuned to 333.5 USB; such sesquikHz offset tuning is often helpful depending on QRM situations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5000, Feb 23 at 0614, WWV with Doppler flutter, indicating very unusual disturbed condx on normally clear blaster, which it still is on 2500. WWV reported: ``The estimated planetary K-index at 0600 UTC on 23 February was 4.67. Space weather for the past 24 hours has been minor. Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level occurred``(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2335 monitoring: confirmed Sunday February 22 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.998-, S9 into UTwente across Europe.

Also confirmed Sunday February 22 at 2239 the 2230 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 3975.001+, S7/S9 into UTwente. Also confirmed Sunday February 22 at 2330 on WRMI 9455, S9/+10 into Knoxville SDR, but with some OTHR clickery before 2359. Still not confirmed UT Monday February 23 at 0000 on WRMI 9395 since that transmitter is still off the air. Confirmed UT Monday February 23 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+5 into S Texas SDR. Also confirmed UT Monday February 23 from 0358 the 0400 on Area 51, so the first two minutes aired on SW! WBCQ 5130 -84 Hz = 5129.916, into Georgia SDR, until inflexible s/off at 0400; WOR continues on webcast only. Next: 2030 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW; 1400 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast]; 1500 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast]; 2100 UT Tuesday IRRS SW via AM Italia 1323; 0030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 0130 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 2030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160.

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5935, Feb 23 at 0242, WWCR-2 is finally back on air, long after WWCR-3 resumed on 13845/4840; first reported by Ron Trotto at 2353 UT Feb 22. So 7490/12160/9350 will also be on in daytime. Usual huge signal under normal conditions. It`s nothing but TUN/DGS/PMS between 0100 & 1300. Yes, 7490 is on and blasting S9+40 at 1517 check, and after 1600 on weaker 12160 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4840, Feb 23 at 0611, WWCR-3 gospel huxter explaining his SW schedule in detail; missed most of it, but now about ``3215``, at 1-2 CST, for S.C. Johnson, www.mygospelhighway11.com and lots of other platforms. This is for the Church of Jesus Christ of Apostolic Faith, in Philadelphia - clueless that 3215 has been off the air for many months. That website shows full schedule with many other programs on this ``radio`` station without a frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. ``Glenn, KLBJ 590 has been a 5/1 kW U2 since the mid-1940s when it was KTBC. The station had a CP for 5 kW days and 350 watts nights, both nondirectional, moving to a new, separate tower at the KVET 1300 site in north Austin, but that expired unbuilt in November 2025. On January 30 the station filed for an STA to operate with 250 watts nondirectional at night, pending repairs to the night DA towers. They are likely still operating with that at night, which is why Glenn was hearing KLBJ in Enid. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED [non]. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Feb 23 at 0555: complete bandscan at 9-kHz intervals tuning USB at 1 kHz below TA frequencies: not a trace. Everything is against this: more and more Euros off the air, or reduced power, notably Spain; incessant local noise level; uncoöperative propagation; inadequate antennas?

 ** CHINA. 18970, Feb 22 at 0032, JBA carrier with Doppler flutter, no doubt jammer against Sound of Hope. Also a steady weak carrier on 18985, presumably something local as also heard many other times. If anyone else ever have a signal on 18985, please inform (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 17490, Feb 22 at 0033, Chinese music, English? S9/+10, CNR1 jammer listed; *Many* more weak Doppler flutter signals, like 17690, 17730, 17780, 17800, 17890, and inside 15, 13 and even 11 MHz bands, no doubt mostly China or east Asia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, Feb 22 at 0036, RHC with windhowl out to plus/minus 12 kHz, and obscuring mod on center, realized surprisingly at this hour in English. 6000 not on air, nor 11950 where someone has reported English. Also not on air at all: 11880, 11760, 9710 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** JAPAN. 21310 USB, Feb 22 at 0026, JL7GMN, CQ DX North America, Hiro, then working KG7AKG, Mike, in Great Falls MT. QRZ.com: ``JL7GMN Japan flag Japan, HIROKI "Hiro" WATANABE, 275-1,4-CHOME, KISAKATA, NIKAHO-CITY, AKITA 018-0116, Japan`` On 28490 USB, Feb 22 at 0015, JI0LQJ, or JI7LQJ calling CQ, working California; but neither in QRZ.com. Of course, no law that everyham has to participate there. DXheat.com does have JI0LQJ on 28490 at 0051 with KG6COH (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 590, Feb 22 at 0601, a few notes of the Mexican NA along with USignals in absence of KXSP Omaha. IRCA Mexican Log shows four on 590, one of which does not anthemize around midnight, XEFD. That leaves XEPH CDMX, XEE Durango2 and XEGTO León (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6930 USB, Feb 22 at 0322, pirate rock, S7/S9 into Georgia SDR. 0326 ``This is Woodstock``. Other reports: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,159043.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6945 AM, Feb 22 at 0342, hard rock, S6/S7 into Georgia SDR. Liquid Radio was reported here but no later than 0231: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,159036.0.html Reported past 0400 was Band Aid Radio but on 6945 USB: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,159046.0.html I wonder how careful everyone be to unmix AM and USB obs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6955 AM, Feb 22 at 0343, pirate music S7; At 0349 (mis?)logged as 6955 USB, with ``Radio Free Fonia?, 43 meters`` at 0358, fadeout or off by 0402. These reports starting as unID but someone got it as R. Free Euphonia ID at 0357 on 6955 AM: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,159047.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9660.004+, Sun Feb 22 at *1729, VOT English cuts on just in time with IS & ID, S9+25 into UTwente. `Letterbox` starts at 1746 with Cemre. They have been busy at the English desk, tasks such as compiling the Turkish news pool for the entire dept. - I guess that means writing news which is then translated into all the other languages. Ramadan began Thursday, greetings. This week, Poland, Canada, Isle of Wight, India, two from China. 1) Mr Marek Pisz?, SE Poland, 1770 km from Emirler. 2) Mr Chris Marvo?, BC, Canada, asks about museums? Lots, T is practically an open-air museum. 3) Mohammed Breyel, KL, Malaysia, reports on Persian. 4) Alan Holder, Isle of Wight with wet winter; spends more time with him than the others, long-time correspondent. 5) Siddartha Papajarjee?, West Bengal weekly report; is International Epilepsy Day Feb 9 observed in Turkey? Yes, by people involved with that. 6) Wang Fudong?, Beijing, China. 7) Mr Li Yamin?, Suzhou, China. Wrapup and at 1811 theme (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 299 MCW kHz, Feb 22 at 0731 UT, HW, ND beacon at `Cubla` Wilmington OH, power unknown to RNA list. 25 watts per DXinfocentre.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 410 MCW kHz, Feb 22 at 0742 UT, BA, 25 watt NDB at Bakalar IN per DXinfocentre.com, but RNA Signals List says 25 watts at `Clifs`, Columbus IN. It seems there used to be a Bakalar AFB named for a KIA 2Lt, later turned over to city of Columbus: https://www.columbus.in.gov/airport/about/history/ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 419 MCW kHz, Feb 22 at 0743 UT, RYS, 25-watt NDB at Grosse Ile MI = Detroit. Was supposed to be decommissioned last April. Wonder how that call was chosen (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2335 monitoring: confirmed Saturday February 21 at 1633 the 1630 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/15 into Knoxville SDR. Also confirmed Saturday February 21 at 1700 on WRN via WRMI 7730, S6/S8 into Miramar FL SDR, which gets this better than other remotes, presumably groundwave altho not real close. As usual, FSN via WRN chopped short for WRMI ID just before 1700. But NOT confirmed Saturday February 21 at 1700 on WRN via WRMI 9395, since 9395 is OFF the air! This will mean three more WORings will also be missed today. Nothing explained about this on WRMI FB. Confirmed Saturday February 21 at 2030 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 3975.000+, S8/S9 into UTwente. Confirmed Saturday February 21 from 2035 the 2030v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S7.5 into nearby N0WQ remote. NOT confirmed on WRMI 9395 Sat Feb 21 at 2030, 2100 or 2200, as this transmitter continues OFF the air, checked into several remotes and direct. Around 2112 on the N9AZZ Cartersville IL remote waterfall, I see and then hear cutting on & off, a local? station with commercials, approx. 9341.5. Not confirmed Saturday February 21 at 2230 on WRMI 17790, because this is also off the air like 9395; maybe all day, not checked earlier. Confirmed Saturday February 21 at 2230 on WRMI 15770, S7/S8 into Maryland SDR. Also confirmed UT Sunday February 22 at 0406 about 8 minutes into, so the 0415v started about 0358 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S7/S8 into nearby Glen Carbon IL SDR. Also confirmed Sunday February 22 at 0735 the 0730 on WRMIs: 5850 S9+20, 7570 S9+25/30; 7730 JBA S6/S9; 7780 S7/S9. And NOT 5950 which was extra last week but normally not on air this late. Also confirmed Sunday February 22 at 1136 the 1130 on WRMI 7570 S9+25/30 and 7780 S9+20/25 direct. Next: 2000 UT Sunday IRRS SW via AM Italia 1323; 2230 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 9455 to NW; 0000 UT Monday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW; 0930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 6160; 2030 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW; 1400 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast]; 1500 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast]; 2100 UT Tuesday IRRS SW via AM Italia 1323; 0030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 0130 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 2030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160. Thanks this week to Moises J Corilloclla, Rego Park NY, originally from Peru, for a check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17790, R. Africa via WRMI, still off after 1600 Feb 22. There was a JBA S7 at 1532, presumably Romania which has always been overlapping with WRMI. 9395 also still AWOL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, WTWW: still off, but just heard Feb 22 from George McClintock now that his power and internet are restored. Something in the transmitter burned up, blackened everything; parts are on order and hope to be back on air this week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 590, Feb 22 at 0600 UT, weak signal from ``Newsradio KLBJ`` Austin TX, not too unusual but normal dominator KXSP Omaha is helpfully off, as Rick Dau tipped to IRCAns, since 19 UT Feb 21. WOW, a chance to hear other 590s! KLBJ is U2 5/1 kW - I thought they were a bigger station than that. NRC AM Log also shows they are on Fox network; what would LBJ say? Night pattern https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KLBJ&service=AM&h=N has a notch to the north from site slightly SE of Austin, and we are almost due north (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 590, Feb 22 at 0723 UT, Red Eye Radio program ID, break for USDA report and other PSAs, finally 0729 ID for ``97.3 FM and 590 AM, WVLK`` - i.e., Lexington KY. Now it`s dominant on E/W LW, while it was not to be heard at 0600 when KLBJ was incoming. All ears on 590 since KXSP Omaha is off. WVLK is U4 5/1 kW. Night pattern https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=WVLK&service=AM&h=N has three major lobes, to NNE, SE and SW, but not too deep a notch thisaway to the west. 97.3 is a mere translator, W247CT, yet gets top billing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also unID; MEXICO ** U S A. 1700 kHz, Feb 22 at 0049 UT, ``Jalapeño Radio Network 95.7 FM`` ID in English, then Spanish music. Surely KKLF Richardson TX, which had been reported as Spanish religion instead. This is a very confusing situation. The main(?) R. Jalapeño is 1540 KEDA in San Antonio, which has FM on 99.9, really a mere translator; NRC AM Log shows 1700 KKLF Richardson with an address in far Corpus Christi. Of the 13 Texans on 95.7, WTFDA FMDB has none in the DFW area, nor any called Jalapeño. But radio-locator says: ``KKLF-AM also broadcasts its primary channel from this additional transmitter K239DA 95.7 FM Richardson, TX (60 watts). Ahá, WTFDA has it on 95.3!! ``K239DA relay of:KKLF 1700 95.3 RICHARDSON TX TEJANO KICK 1700 202666 0.06 0.06 99.0 0.0 32-45-53 96-52-25`` - Guess what: channel 239 *is* 95.7, not 95.3 which is 237 - and the `Kick 1700` slogan has got to be wrong or at least outdated. I sent this correxion to WTFDA already, and now is correctly on 95.7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** URUGUAY. 28390.1 USB, Feb 22 at 0012, CX5TM is JBA calling CQDX. QRZ.com: ``CX5TM Uruguay flag Uruguay, WILSON RUBEN ACOSTA RAMIREZ, INDIA, MUERTA 151, CHUY ROCHA 27100, Uruguay`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 590 kHz, Feb 22 at 0600 UT, in absence of KXSP Omaha right after KLBJ ID, another station mentions 91.7. WTFDA FM Database does not show any 91.7 relaying a 590, and NRC AM Log does not show any non-commercial on 590; but possibly a gospel huxter might have such a correlation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 25985 & 25955 LSB, Feb 22 at 0022, Brazilian 2-way, sounds like CB; officially so or not? Yes, just below 26 MHz, not 27 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 1953 UT February 22
