** ARGENTINA. 28460 USB, Apr 7 at 2222, LU4HH, Radio Club Córdoba, CQ
10 in Spanish, calls himself ``operador 1,080``, no name! QRZ.com:
``LU4HH Argentina flag Argentina, RADIO CLUB CORDOBA, DOMINGO ZIPOLI
1866, CORDOBA CD 5000 5009, Argentina`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ARGENTINA. 28420 USB, Apr 8 at 2217, LU4JP, QSOs in Spanish,
English. QRZ.com: ``LU3JP Argentina flag Argentina,
robercampeon@gmail.com, ROBERTO ALCIDES "ROBERTO" KUTTEL, PASO 494 -

WOR)

** ARGENTINA. 28420 USB, Apr 8 at 2220, LU9CNS/D calling CQ POTA =
Parks On The Air. QRZ.com: ``LU9CNS Argentina flag Argentina, Nicolas
"Nico" Solop, Capdevila 3312, Buenos Aires C1431FKN, Argentina`` --
significance of the /D not clear, but shown among his alternates, also
/S, /J, /Q. His park for 2026-04-08 is: Reserva Ecológica Vicente
López, which is just up the coast from Bs As (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Tue Apr 7 at 2300, RAE via WRMI S9+20/30,
well, well, finally in Portuguese as supposedly the only language for
this transmission. Previews several topix starting with DX.com.ar, DX
news from Arnaldo Slaen. That starts at 2303, but program first called
`Atualidade DX`, then `DX.com.ar`. Will this purvey news, or olds? I
try to copy all the items. Colombia, 6010, tentatively LV de tu
Conciencia around 05 UT. Romania, explaining how they have alternate
backup frequencies, sources include Faceebookee. Mentions three or
four times and frequencies, unclear what language? But none match A26
RRO in HFCC. Germany, R. Mi Amigo, K-K on 6085 around 0658 with
English ID; Radio Europe 24 on 6150 Datteln at 0614 and 1723. ``Reach
Beyond Shortwave`` not ``Australia``. A number of times in Japanese,
*A24* not 26 season mentioned, giving away this is really a biyear
old? And several broadcasts from a 100 kW site near Pequim, did not
catch what. Madagascar: TWR Talata in Urdu around 1445 on 15440: no
such broadcast currently. Myanmar: good news, reactivated 6165 around
0130 in vernacular, from Pyin Oo Lwin: WRTH says Thazin Radio at that
location, while Aoki says Thazin R is at Naypyidaw. Perú active
stations: 4775 Tarma, 5025 Quillabamba, 4810 Chazuta, 4750 Huanta,
4820 Senda Cristiana. Most operate from around 1000/1030 to 2300/2330.
This segment ends at 2311, then multi-lingual ID reel. BTW, DX.com.ar
goes to a login with password page, no other info about how to contact
or get one! If it`s so restricted, why mention it to a global
audience? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28270.5, Apr 8 at 2208, dash and VVV PY4MAB, only 10m
beacon audible and very weak; WGB list: ``28270.5 PY4MAB - Pocos
de Caldas MG BRA GG68re - #0/1/3 (07 Apr 2026) Note: VVV ID + grid +
BCN + 5" carr - Cobra 142 gtl mod. ant vert 10W`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** COLOMBIA. 28473 USB, Apr 8 at 2215, HJ3AJN calling CQDX in English.
QRZ.com: ``HJ3AJN Colombia flag Colombia, Adib Jalel Nassiff, Calle
17A #7B-57, Funza 250020, Colombia`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Apr 8 at 2256.7*, RHC cuts off just as I tune to it; I
think it were modulating. At 2257 I find that 11950 is on in Spanish,
S9+10/20 but modulation cutting; 11760 has also just gone from Spanish
to deadair. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 6030 nor any of the 7 MHz channels, April 8 at 0620 no
signals from R. Martí. Presumably closed about 0600*. Earlier:

Steven Luce, Houston, said, ``Glenn, the three 41 meter Radio Marti
frequencies you mentioned (7335, 7365 and 7435) are all registered as
operating 01-05 UT along with 6030. 7365 is dropped at 0500 while the
other three together remain on through the night until 1000.``

I replied, ``I don`t think any of them have really been running past
0500. Glenn``

Walt Salmaniw replied, ``I beg to differ, gents. At 05:27, all three
41m channels are booming into Masset tonight: 7335, 7365 and 7435. And
of course, 6030 on 49 m. They all continue past 05:30 UTC. 73,
Walt``

And Mauno Ritola, WRTH replied: ``They were extended recently to
-0600, but I don't think any of them transmit past that. 73, Mauno``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHILE. 28475 USB, Apr 7 at 2202, CA3PHX working a VE3 in Spanish,
bigsig and says 400 watts, then CQDX and working Japan, JL8PZO? in
English, says his name is Mauro-san. QRZ.com: ``CA3PHX Chile flag
Chile, Mauricio "Mauro" Pacheco, La Florida, santiago chile.
+56984082037, Chile`` - page is full of selfies and equipment photos
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EASTER ISLAND. 28450 USB, Apr 8 at 2210, CE0Y/PJ4EL with rapid
contacts including W5WSK in OK, PU3SX, NH6XO, mentions Rapa Nui.
QRZ.com has only outdated info about previous DXpedition: ``CE0Y
Easter Island flag Easter Island, DX-pedition to Easter Island, Easter
Island "26/11, 3/12" Isla de pascua, Isla de Pascua, Easter Island``
and PJ4EL is not on the list of operators then. Nor on the PJ4EL page
anything about Easter: ``PJ4EL Bonaire flag Bonaire, Erwin, Erwin
Lemmers, Kaya Aleksandrit, Kralendijk, Bonaire, Dutch Caribean
, Bonaire`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN [non]. 15750.247v, April 8 at 1443, JBA signal direct on
15750.3, so I tune in UTwente where measured, at 1454, S9+10/15 with
heavy bubble jamming; if you put up with it and understand Persian,
it`s still readable, i.e. Iran International TV via BULGARIA, which is
sometimes on 15730v but nothing there now. Mostly talk past 1500 with
no break; 1526 some music, much more talk. I let it run on and on.
About 1606 jamming stops and now it`s loud and clear around 15750.300.
At 1611 sounds like a ponderous proclamation, more and more mostly
talk past 1710. Scheduled until 1900, and already gone when I check a
few minutes prior (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 5140 USB, April 8 at 1400 UT, another Wednesday
so time for another OK emergency net. Breanna YL in Edmond is NCS this
week. Usual procedure, mentions her ham call KM4UJS, but otherwise as
WSHM692. Letters in calls always pronounced fonetikaly. Roll call,
each one twice unless answering the first time, also mentions
locations unlike the other NCS. I compare to previous logs to ensure
accuracy. Many of them do not reply.
WQYW443, Beckham County;
WQZT582, Broken Arrow;
WQSY836, Byng EOC;
WNPV700, Durant EOC, Bill ans, loud;

WPFY721, Seminole EOC, ans;
WNBM839, Stillwater, ans JBA;
WNCH624, Tulsa EOC;

WQUG374, Leflore County, ans L&C. It`s in SE OK around Talihina; in
Poteau per:
https://www.radioreference.com/db/browse/ctid/2167/fcc

WNBE830, Missouri State EOC, Jefferson City, Corey ans JBA;
1409, any others? WFES740?, Cameron? County MO, Ernie;
1410, no more, closing net till next week. But then QSOs:
WPFY721 calling WQUG374 Leflore, also with Corey, Jeff City;
1413, WPFY721 clear, but another QSO JBA, WNBE830 with Cameron? MO.
In MO there is a town called Cameron, but not a county. Maybe they
were saying Camden County? which is north of Lebanon on the way to
Osage Beach (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAINT LUCIA. 28420 USB, April 8 at 2219, J69Z, repeating call over
and over, even counting 123456 and 123456789, but contacts unheard
here. QRZ.com: ``J69Z St Lucia flag St Lucia, ANCLETUS-ERNEST-ERNEST,
LA CLERY LC03 201, St Lucia`` His page presents heavy promotion for an
antenna he invented (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15520 to ME S9+10/20, 17715 to SAm S9+20/30, and 15500 to
NAm also S9+20/30 all VG indistinguishable to the ear, and still no
15390 to Af which AFAIK has never appeared since A26 began. 2200
accurate timesignal vs WWV, SS plugging election coming up for
parliament in Andalucia, how to vote remotely - it seems depending on
context it is pronounced either Andalúcia or Andalucía.

2201 opening token English from REE/SNR on Wednesdays. First topix to
be about the Iran war, how Europe must be less dependent on the USA;
brain cancer research; women winning a 4x4 relay competition. 2203.6
but first the news: US & Iran cease-fire, Pakistan deal; Israel
detained a Spanish peacekeeping soldier with UNIFIL in Lebanon. 2206
report from their unique Lebanon correspondentess, where there is no
ceasefire; etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Apr 7 at 2157, no signal direct from VOT English; on
by next check 2207 S7/S9 but with ACI from Brasil 11780. I just sent
this to englishdesk@trt.net.tr --

``Cemre, Altho Ricky Hein keeps complaining about reception, there
really is a problem with 11785 at 22-23 UT - Brasil on 11780 which can
be as strong or stronger in North America. There would be an easy fix
to this problem, moving to 11790, or 11795, or 11800, where according
to current HFCC and other listings and monitoring, there would be NO
interference to TRT, during that hour, no other stations anywhere on
those frequencies. I continue to enjoy your Letterbox each Sunday, but
I try to listen to one of the earlier repeats via the UTwente remote
in Holland.

Another thing you really should change: the sign-on and sign-off
announcements which mention only the first time and frequency each
day, 1230 UT on 17620. This makes no sense at all when heard on all of
the playbacks. Either take the time to mention them all quickly, or
none of them, or rotate them from one day to the next.
Best wishes, Glenn Hauser, Enid, Oklahoma, USA, World of Radio``

Reply at 0733 UT from Seher Cemre TURAN, so maybe also on the next
L`box:

``Dear Mr. Hauser, Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed
feedback, and for your continued support of our Letterbox program.

We appreciate you pointing out the interference issue on 11785 kHz, as
well as your suggestions for alternative frequencies. We’ve received a
similar report from another listener, and we will be conveying these
observations and recommendations to Emirler station for their review.

We also take note of your comments regarding the sign-on and sign-off
announcements, and will share this with our team for consideration.

Kind regards,
English Desk``

but insuff. vs much stronger 11780 Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 407 MCW kHz, April 8 at 0643 UT, dominant NDB, HRU Herington
KS has CCI from a JBA understation, hard to distingish, but it`s OOC,
25 watts `Campi`, Natchitoches LA. Per RNA list, period is 7.794

Also confirmed Wednesday April 8 at 1930 on SW Radio Gold, Germany,
6160.000, S7 and 3975.001+, S9+5 into UTwente. 6160 has RTTYditty
INTRUDER on plus side but evitable by narrow bandwidth.

Also confirmed Wednesday April 8 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490 -48 Hz =

** U S A. 9395, April 8 at 2258, WRMI with `Truth 2 Ponder` outro,
S9+10/20 but very undermodulated; while Bob Biermann`s voice on the
WRMI IS & IDs on 9455 is fully modulated; timesignal at 2300 is 6
seconds late compared to WWV -- it`s not a true TS, but sound-effect
VORW starts his show with, implying accuracy! John starts by
apologizing for being more informal and opinionated than usual as he
launches into a chronology of the Iran war (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, April 8 at 0621, WRNO still on in English, S9+20/35
direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 968.065 approx., April 8 at 0623 UT, JBA carrier, presumably
KVWM Show Low AZ, which has been drifting off-frequency from 970. John
Johnson, Mesa AZ, posted to IRCA iog April 7: ``KVWM 970 Show Low,
Arizona continues to be way off frequency. See Photo. The carrier on
the left is KVWM and the carrier right on 970 is XEJ as seen from
Phoenix. 73, John`` i.e. just about 968.0 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1190 kHz, April 8 at 0630 UT, Spanish dominates, 0632
``Radio La B``? ID; 0700+, Radio La Ley - pretty sure of that slogan.
In IRCA Mex log, no 1190 stations with that name, nor in NRC AM Log of
UStations. WTFDA FMDB has loads of US and some Mexican FMs called La
Ley, which means law, but nothing correlating with 1190. Surely no
English/American station would call itself ``The Law`` -- what`s with
the SS? XECT Monterrey or XEPZ Juárez would be most likely but no such
name known for them.

To rule out XECT, I monitor it via the Monterrey SDR from 1720 UT -
just gospel huxtering, and believe it or not, at 1900 ID as XEPRS 1090
in BCN! I double check my hookup, and yes, it`s really 1190 in Mty.
IRCA Mexican Log does note this under 1190, and also under 1090:
``1090 XEPRS BC Rosarito 50000 50000 La Voz 24h REL No FM (XHPRS
105.7FM is not co-owned). // XECT 1190AM and sometimes XEITE 830AM``

UNIDENTIFIED. 15150, April 8 at 2226, weak signal in Portuguese?

** CUBA. 11760, April 7 at 0636, RHC JBM in Spanish? S6/S7, SAWA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140V, April 7 at 1853, RHC deadair or maybe JBM, with
carrier wobbling rapidly -- not such a defect noted before. It`s them,
not my receiver, not happening with other stations. 1930 recheck, at
first not wobbling, then wobbling at variable rates. Something`s
always wrong at RHC. Meanwhile, 11880 OK with S7 music at 1856 (Glenn

** AUSTRALIA. 28515 USB, April 6 at 0059, two Ozzies ragchewing QSO

Sat/Sun/Mon, but I did not check after 02, so maybe still on. HFCC
shows daily 01-02 & 02-03 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INDONESIA [non]. 28450 USB, April 6 at 0147, YB7ONC the call heard
more than once but I think was the one being called by a guy with a
heavy accent apparently in the Philippines, maybe ending in -DI; said
he was aiming toward America, so this was off the back; anyhow, per
QRZ.com: ``YB7ONC Indonesia flag Indonesia, RASULAN ALI SANGGAR, Jl.
Mangga RT/RW 006/002 Kel.Candi, Kec.Kumai, Kab.Kotawaringin Barat,

too close to the mike. Only pirate on band now. 0107 still, some music
cutting off and on. 0126 offers physical QSLs for reports to [spelt
fonetikaly] PINTOSHITNOISE@gmail.com - then another song, S9+20. 0130
I hear only gmail.com mentioned, and another tune. (Now there is
another pirate, on 6930 AM.) 0133 retune nothing, but just a pause,

968.114 with cx somewhat auroral. Mostly just a carrier, but briefly
had decent audio 0505 UT with ads for businesses in Show Low and
Snowflake (a town about 20 miles north of Show Low) and at 0707 with
Coast to Coast. It's probably worth watching for in the Midwest. Bruce

amended the WTFDA database to reflect that. I'm one of many database
editors looking to keep it as up to date as possible, so appreciate
the info in your post. KPUR announcers actually pronounce
it 'Armadillah' and the web site says Armadillo. Thanks, Saul

** ARGENTINA. 9455, Mon Apr 6 at 2304, RAE via WRMI, not in
Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, or even Spanish, but --- English!
S9+40/45 into Georgia SDR. In multi-lingual ID reel, music, 2306
announcer says they are on 5850 kHz, which they would be if this were
at 2230, but for half an hour? I really haven`t tried to hear it then.
He speaks very conversationally, not like reading a script. 2309 more
music and then a talk until 2321 as about an ecological zone in Bs As.
Music break again. 2327 intro a Norton Lecture at Harvard in 1967y by
Jorge Luís Borges about metaphor in literature, continuing past auto
timesignal at 2330. English was one of his languages, but he speaks
rather haltingly here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

on March 31st. The transmitter is still being adjusted after repairs.
The format is new, with **100% English-language programming**. For
now, it's Jubilee Bible readings and music; other programs are planned
for later. The decision to implement the new format was made by Martin
Stendall, but it's not clear to me what the objective is. For now, the
name Alcaravan Radio remains the same. Rafael Rodríguez R., Bogotá,

** OKLAHOMA. 780, April 6 at 1438 UT, KSPI Stillwater is OFF! Leaving
a JBA carrier; a bit late after sunrise for anything else like WBBM,
KKOH, CHQR, WJAG, so maybe an image or a vestige of KSPI QRP, or just
a birdie. Still off at 1843. Under normal conditions I can`t hear the
``Pete 94.3`` translator, which is the ID on 780, back on at next
check 1955 into caradio, music OK but modulation dropouts during
announcements. But next2 check 2223, off again, exposing a JBA
carrier. KSPI is 250 watt daytimer (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, April 6 at 2159 and still 2211 direct, no trace of a

** U S A. 410 MCW kHz, April 6 at 0654 UT, BA, 25-watt NDB at BAkalar
IN, copiable off-tuned a sesquikHz below in USB to 408.40. Strange
name for a town there, Turkish? Really at Columbus IN. No, Wikipedia
explains, ``In a formal dedication ceremony held on 13 November 1954,
the Atterbury base was renamed Bakalar Air Force Base in honor of
First Lieutenant John Edmond Bakalar (1920–1944) of the 353d Fighter
Squadron, 354th Fighter Group. Bakalar, a Hammond, Indiana, native was
killed in action 1 September 1944, over France when his North American
P-51D-5 Mustang (AAF Ser. No. 44-13895) crashed.[19][20] His
decorations and awards included the Distinguished Service Cross and
the Purple Heart, both awarded posthumously, and the Air Medal with
six Oak Leaf Clusters.[4]`` - each DX log a potential learning
experience! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 414 MCW kHz, April 6 at 0656 UT, GRN, 25 watt NDB at GoRdoN

overmodulation/distortion, making TOMBS praise songs even more
off-putting than usual; also with the spurs plus/minus ~12.9 kHz

** U S A. 940 kHz, April 7 at 0040 UT, British-accented gospel huxter
on huge signal we hear neither in full day nor full night. Of the
nearest ones, this must be KPSZ Des Moines IA, the only REL format, U4
10/5 kW, ``Hope 940``. I remember it as KIOA up until 1996. Day
pattern is skewed toward the SW, while night pattern has tight major
lobe to WNW, notch to the SW.

UNIDENTIFIED. Re: "1440+ & 1460-, Apr 5 at 0257 UT bandscan, again
hearing those matching JBA carriers implying they are spurs out of one
of the 160+ USA 1450 stations. One I measure approx. 1458.4. Wonder if
Tim Hall has found anything further about this from his Border Inn
recordings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)"

Hi Glenn, After two or three unusually busy weeks, I'm back to
reviewing my recordings, and have finally started to do what I should
have done when I first noticed these spurs: I've started a simple grid
(antennas on one axis, hour-of-day on the other), and will start
making note of where these carriers have been appearing in my
recordings. My initial guess is that the spurs will show up (with good
strength) in so many of my recordings as to be of limited use, but
perhaps they will be missing from a few wires and/or hours of day, and
give us a little clue. Conditions were very favorable to northern
states that weekend, and very unfavorable to southern states, so that
may pose a challenge as well. I had northern stations all over my
southern wires in these recordings.

By far the most consistently present station on 1450 across all of my
recordings was KBFS {Belle Fourche SD}, so they remain my initial
prime suspect; however, the fact that the spurs are present on so many
of my recordings could also support your preliminary DF indicating the
station might be closer to me, perhaps in UT or WY. It may take a
while for me to gather enough data to be useful, but I will keep you
posted when I finally have a good sample.

One interesting experiment (which I should also try here at home if I
ever get the time) would be to check for the spurs shortly before the
top of the hour, then if they are present, tune to 1450 and see if you
hear KBFS' "Close Encounters" theme (5 notes) around the top of the
hour. Those 5 notes pierce through the interference like a mini DX
test at the top of every hour. 73 Tim Hall, April 6 (via Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1590, April 6 at 0702 UT, local news mentions Scott
County, no further clues. There are 11 states with a Scott County,
many of them with a 1590, but would have to check each one whether a
1590 be local, near or far. Yet most likely my closest, Kansas, county
in the west, KVGB Great Bend near the center, U2 5/5 kW. I was
checking whether `Ambiente Clásico` WCGO Evanston IL were still
audible, as it`s authorized to double-decimate night power from 2.5 kW
to 24 watts! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
