Hauser
** ARGENTINA. 28465 USB, Jan 16 at 2302, LR1WWA calling QRZ, CQ in
English. QRZ.com: ``LR1WWA Argentina flag Argentina, This is a World
Wide Award Station, Natalia Edith Peregrin, 9 DE JULIO, BA 6500,
Argentina`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ARGENTINA. 28520 USB, Jan 16 at 2303, LU/CO2KR calling CQDX, 100
watts with 6-element monoband yagi. QRZ.com: ``LU/CO2KR Argentina flag

Argentina. I remain active as LU/CO2KR from the grid locator FF76tv``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Fri Jan 16 at 2316 tune-in, S9+30 RAE
Portuguese via WRMI just as `Atualidade DX` is finishing with Arnaldo
Slaen credit. I thought it was only on Tuesdays. Wonder if not only
3-years-outdated, but repeated day after day? And how about DX
programs in other RAElangs, such as English, Spanish via WRMI?
Skedgrid claims: Spanish 01-02 exc Sun on 7570; English M-F 14-1430 on
7730 and 2230-23 on 5850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 6180, Fri Jan 16 at 0754, token Spanish from RNA, just
missed token English, about samba schools; this time announcer has no
Brazilian accent, AI? S9+40/45, and // 11780 S9+10/25 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 11600, Jan 16 at 2314, severe Doppler flutter on JBA signal;
slightly less severe on 11715: both are CNR1 jammer vs Sound of Hope
channels (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 15140, Jan 16 at 2310, RHC windhowl only, S9/+10,
the OSOB except for 15770 WRMI. 11760, Jan 16 at 2314, deadair nohowl
S9+10/20. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 11610, Jan 16 at 2313, S9+10/20 dead air. Surely MWV
not turned off after 21-22 Mandarin to Europe, 22-23 Arabic to N
Africa. Both 100 kW and 325 degrees also thisaway, when modulated one
of best signals on band even here. Something`s messedup at Mahajanga
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 93.1, the dead air in $ tereo low-power carrier in Enid is
OFF January 16 circa 2100 UT as it has been a few days. Will not
report further unless it return.

95.1, the downtown Enid dead air in $ tereo is still on January 16
circa 2100 UT. You never know when it might emit some music, holiday
or not.

1680 AM, January 16 circa 2100 UT, Virtual DJ Radio still going from
south central Enid, pop music, audible a few miles away if noise level
allow (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. 28300 CW, Jan 16 at 1554, EEEEEEEEEE DE WD4NKA/B. WGB list:

Note: ID + grid + 5" carrier + eee - Ant Cushcraft AR-10 "Ringo" 1/2
wave vert 20 feet agl 3w``. No other 10m beacons heard and only one
phone higher up (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2330 monitoring: confirmed first SW
BC, Friday January 16 at 1300 on WRMI 15770, S9+5 direct.

Also confirmed Friday January 16 at 2141 the 2130 on IRRS SW via AM

** U S A. The first WORLD OF RADIO website was on Angelfire, but it
disappeared without notice almost a week ago.
https://www.angelfire.com/ok/worldofradio
Discussion of this situation:

https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1q9707b/angelfire_has_been_down_since_17_is_it_gone_for/
A lot of our earliest DXLD and WOR output was stored there, and
fortunately much still exists as last scanned Sept. 21, 2025, via:

https://web.archive.org/web/20250921132355/https://www.angelfire.com/ok/worldofradio/
Not all the linx lead to anything, but e.g. here`s a detailed 1999
interview with me by Sheldon Harvey:

https://web.archive.org/web/20240111223815/https://www.cidx.ca/sf/SF5Hauser.php
(Glenn Hauser, OK, Jan 16, WOR)

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, UT Sat Jan 17 at 0054: no
signals on 3265, 5130, 6160, 9330, and only JBA on 7490! *0055, 5130
cuts on as usual with IS & ID loop, so it would be best/only, but I`ve
switched to (7490) stream, at first playing at double speed and double
pitch. Is that WBCQ fault or my Winamp? Never did that before.
Apparently new ep as no rerun disclaimer. First comment over WTO
theme: ``OK, OK, let me tell you, folx``, and single word at 0103
during pause in music: ``hope``. I always note those so one can later
determine right away if it be a rerun. AW still not fully recovered
from flu caught on plane two weeks ago. World needs SW now more than
ever. Laments ``Trump derangement syndrome``, accusing his opposition
of being the bad moonbats buying into Socialism! The *real* TDS is
suffered by those who still think *rump is wonderful. 0118 finally
gets around to datestamp as 16th day of January, YOOLF in Heaven,
2026; 45 degrees F in Fla, low was 28 or 25. 0128 trimulcasting on
7490, 6160, 5130.

Some changes: 9330 is off, not a tech problem, but ``hiatus for a
while by a contracted client`` = World`s Last Chance, never mentioned
by name. This just happened last Sunday. So is available for major new
client(s), too expensive to sell time piecemeal. Not only 360 degrees
rotatable but beam can be varied from narrow to wide. Must charge much
more than the standard $ 50/hour rate on classic 50 kW transmitters.
0130 imposes ``cone of silence`` for coughing? Maybe Voice of America?
He muses. As a private business, WBCQ could operate more efficiently
at a lower cost than a government entity.

0134 a tune for Dominic. Now I check the NH SDR where 6160 is JBA
S9/S6. Song was Joni Michell, ``Turn Me On`` - as a radio? 0142
another tune, Ringo Starr, ``No-no Song``. 0145 Radio World story
about numbers of US radio stations, slight decreases in most
categories, except non-commercial educational! He doesn`t realize that
the increase is due to gospel-huxters falling into that category,
besides genuine public secular radio. 0151 some emails: Jerry in Nyack
with anti-*rump comments, causing Angela to *yell* an expletive at
him. 0155 ``Vinyl Records`` song, chopped at 0157, as Allan starts
talking off-mike, barely picked up by Angela`s mike. Then turns on and
repeats. 0159 concludes that the Super-Stition is ``up for lease,
rent, *acquisition*, or whatever``. That last means it`s even *for
sale*. Quick prayer and over (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Jan 16 at 0756, WRNO not off the air, YL
undermodulated in English, I finally conclude, S9+20/30. Late
broadcasts are sporadic. Website is all about donating, no programming
info: http://www.wrnoworldwide.com/ Via WOR Hitlist, WRNO also on FB,
but nothing newer than April 9, 2020! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 26575 & 26585, Jan 16 at 1551, JBA carriers and SSB
2-way, unseems English, maybe Spanish or Portuguese; extended CB in
LAm? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 9410, Jan 15 at 1449, R. Martí about fútbol, // 13570
11930 7435; not on 9820; while 11860 is OC warmup. By 1514 recheck.
9410 off, while 11860, 11930, 13570, 13820 are on. 9410 new to me but

** IRAN [non]. 9680.000, Jan 15 at 1831, Persian talk S9/+10 and no
jamming into UTwente, from new target broadcast, all talk until 1859*,
did not get ID but Mauno Ritola says:

``Hi Glenn, today I heard "Radio Zaman-e Bidari" ID now at 1830 on
9680 kHz and 9705 kHz has another Farsi programme going on. Looks like
wires are crossed. 73, Mauno``

``Just listened on a KSA SDR from Er-Riyadh on 9680. Fairly good
reception about S9+20, but became much weaker towards the end of
transmission. 18:30-19:00 UTC (Arthur Pozner)``

The other one is Shabname = Voice of Freedom: https://shabname.org/en
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2330)

** U S A. 293 MCW kHz, Jan 15 at 0725 UT, UI, NDB at qUIncy IL,
instead of FBY FairBurY NE, which is normally alone and dominant.

** U S A. 8992 USB, Jan 15 at 1448, USAF crypto exercise in progress,
header ID 7LSQID, and tactical ID South Pole -- or Soft Coal?? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2329 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday January 15 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+20/25 into N9AZZ IL
remote.

Also confirmed UT Thursday January 15 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9+25 off

Also confirmed Thursday January 15 at 1745 the 1730 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, 3975.001, S7/S8 into UTwente, but not on 6160.

Confirmed Thursday January 15 at 1745 the 1730 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, 6160.001, S3/S4 into Carlow, Ireland SDR, quite sufficient.

Coast, // 1040 WHO if not synchronized. The only C2C on 1050 in NRC AM
Log is KSIS Sedalia MO, also likely by proximity despite night power
of 86 watts, 1000 day U1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1060 kHz, Jan 15 at 0746 UT, ``contact us at ...`` 308 area

** CANADA. 6070, Jan 14 at 0317, no signal from CFRX; maybe degraded
propagation, tho furthers like 6105 FRANCE are normally loud. Or maybe
off but CFRX is always at least weakly audible over night path. It is
definitely on at next check 0725 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 9535, Jan 14 at 1541, S Asian music S6/S8. It`s CRI in
Nepali this hour, 500 kW at 252 degrees from Xi`an site. Among some
other less exotic CRIs like 9660, which is Chinese via Kunming site at
20 degrees really thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Jan 14 at 0317, S9+45 of dead air from RHC, where
something`s always wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 5140 USB, Oklahoma Operations Secure HF Net, or
something like that, fires up Wed Jan 14 at 1500; also heard Jan 7, so
apparently it`s *every* week except for holiday breaks. NCS is WPFY731
in Seminole. Making a rollcall, pronouncing every call sign twice with
fonetik letters, as I hasten to copy without recording backup, so
maybe still some errors also due to my scribble. Mostly no reply,
u.o.s.; I have to semicolon them since some quoters erase linebreaks.
WPQY443, where?;

Concludes at 1507, but open for anyone else? Yes, WNBE830, Jefferson
City MO. 1508 summarizes that got only 3 replies; 1509 WPFY721 clear.
>From the above lineup I realize that they are called in alfabetical
order by location. I assume that when we have a real emergency, 5140
USB would become very active (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** PHILIPPINES. 9310, Jan 14 at 1530, USAGM in Korean via Tinang site,
VG S9+25 way over here beyond. Now it`s a half-hour M-F, same
10-minute Trumpcast thrice (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Jan 14 at 2300, token English from REE succeeds,
S9+25/40 into Georgia SDR; 12030 for ME was earlier reported off but
JBA; while 17715 is a JBA carrier. Previews some topix including
diagnostic research. Crosstalk QRM evidently Spanish ambience we don`t
want or need, likewise continuous musical background during news
summary of the week from 2302. While the heavy accents of both
announcers are tolerable, their breakneck speed is mentally tiring.
That`s what we get for one program a week: cram into it as much as
possible. Lebanon correspondentess finished at 2320. But I`ve too much
news from other sources to follow (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.002, Wed Jan 14 at 2257, VOT IS & English
IDs, S9+25/30 into UTwente, 2300 sign-on as if it were 1330 on 13635:
something`s always awry at Ankara. But Spain`s only English broadcast
clashes so they get my attention for a while. 2354 s/off the `1330`
broadcast, 7 notes of IS before chop by 2355* uncovering much weaker
ChiCom music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. A few ND beacons JBA now but not always, vs noise level:
245, Jan 14 at 0713, FS, 100 watts at `Rokky` Sioux FallS SD
344, Jan 14 at 0715, JA, 400 watts at `Dinns` JAxonvil FL
359, Jan 14 at 0716, GGF, 0 watts at Grant NE, all per RNA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2329 monitoring: Confirmed UT
Wednesday January 14 at 0030 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 3975, S5 into
Carlow, Ireland SDR, but faded to JBA by 0056; after no signals into
UTwente, Bedford.

Confirmed UT Wednesday January 14 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, JBA into N9AZZ
IL remote, but with huge wideband local noiseburst QRMs; after no
signal into Georgia SDR.

Also confirmed Wednesday January 14 at 2030 on SW Radio Gold, Germany,
3974.999, S2/S4 into Carlow, Ireland SDR and mostly readable after no
signal into UTwente, and JBA into Bedford UK.

Also confirmed Wednesday January 14 at 2200 on WBCQ webcast; and at
2220 poor direct on 7490-. Next:

0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160.

** U S A. World`s Last Chance bankrupt so WBCQ 9.330 MHz off ---
``Hello Glenn, The Worlds Last Chance ministry has apparently gone
bankrupt and has abandoned shortwave radio and WBCQ. The following
message is now posted on wbcq.com:

`Superstation available --- One of the most powerful and versatile
shortwave stations is now available for your lease. The Monticello
Maine Superstation operating on 9.330 MHz with up to 500 KW of power
with its fully rotatable antenna system can put a shortwave signal
anywhere in our world. Contact WBCQ at (207) 889-0039 for this unique
opportunity.` Regards, Lw`` (Larry Will, Area 51)

Bill Tilford, IN: ``An ironic aspect of their radio setup was that in
recent times, that 500kw rotatable was aimed at Brazil, the UK, the US
and Canada. All dressed up with no place to go so to speak. If the
proposed refunding of the USAGM family really happens, maybe Uncle can
lease some time on it.``

``Good point, Bill. It has excellent reach. Perhaps even RCI.
Sackville was only a "stone`s throw" away from Monticello. Practically
in Canada already. 73, Walt`` Salmaniw, BC

``I reached out about leasing time for Pop Shop Radio. Allan says he
is looking for "long term program leases" -- 12 hours a day on 9330.
That shoots that for me! Tony Pavick, BC``

9330, Jan 14 at 1531, still no signal from WBCQ/WLCR.

Website still shows 9330 but headed by: ``Beloved of Yahuway ,
The Non-Profit WLC Ministry is currently facing growing financial
challenges, which have unfortunately led to the suspension of several
projects...`` It remains an ``online ministry``.

WLC bankrolled most? of the cost of setting up the 500 kW
`SuperStition`, and thus had rights to all its airtime, altho allowed
AAAWWW one hour a week. So what exactly is the ownership now? Do they
still have any stake in the facility? Or is it 100% owned by WBCQ?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Jan 14 at 0318, no signal from this WTWW, still
sporadic. Prop OK with 5050 WRMI, huge 4840 WWCR. 5085 sked should be
at least 0100-0400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 13830, Jan 14 at 1535, VR S9+15/25 direct // 15565 equally
strong, and NO other significant signals from Europe on either band.
They may and do use Madagascar relay at times, such as after 1600 on
13830, not 15565, but registered at SMG on both before 1600, Amharic
daily. After 1600 in Swahili, the two should be unsynchronized (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6897-6952 approx., Jan 14 at 0727, multi-carrier,
multi-tones beating against each other, peaking S9 circa 6938, showing
total disrespect for the Pirate Band; what is this? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Tue Jan 13 at 2302, WRMI with RAE relay in
Portuguese already underway in `Atualidade DX` pgm, again with
suspiciously old ``news``-- 11905 SLBC off air, but still 11750;
Manuel Méndez, Spain, logs of Denmark on 5970, 1440, 25800; Norway
5895, Tajikistan 4765, which might pass as current but get this:
Vanuatu on 3 x 3945, 11835!!! That`s been fixed years ago. Then an
admittedly Oct 22 to Mar 23 schedule for Spain from Glenn Hauser!!!
Anything correct there now is purely coincidental; then Malawi not on
SW but FM as I tuned out. Arnaldo Slaen is always credited as provider
of the DX news, altho I did not hear open or close this week
mentioning him. I`m notifying him directly about this. So is RAE
sending out 3+ year old programs, or is just letting WRMI play 3+
year-old files week after week? I`ve looked before and look again at
the files in WRMI server and do not find anything old or new from RAE,
so they must be getting them somehow else; or with unrecognizable
filenames. In any event, `Don`t You Believe` any DX `news` from RAE;
and how about in their other languages? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 15230, Jan 13 at 1515, harmonica music from RHC,
undermodulated S8. Also // 15140 S9+20 plus SAWA windhowl, 11760 S8/S9

Somali (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

10m, but here`s a QSO, first in Spanish between YS1ZZ on the Pacific
coast, and PU5WMA in Brasil. But YS says English is OK altho his
original language is German. QRZ.com: ``YS1ZZ El Salvador flag El
Salvador, Markus Paul Pfiffner, Club Atami, La Libertad, El
Salvador``

``PU5WMA Brazil flag Brazil, Marcelo Arthur Mendes Waechter, Rua
Marechal Rondon, 5051, Cascavel, PR 85813720, Brazil`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

music bits, S8/S9 with fading into UTwente, no jamming audible, 1630
R. Farda ID in passing. Almost faded out by 1640. Contradictory
schedules have emerged since my last report, but here it is now,
presumably via offfrequency UAE site. Own website claims 13765, not
13755:

** U S A. Re WRMI 5, 7 MHz frequencies missing: -- just got this from
Jeff: ``I just landed in Los Angeles on my way to the HFCC in
Malaysia. I just checked with the station and they confirmed that
there were some technical problems last night, but I don’t know the
details.`` Tony Pavick, 2014 UT Jan 12 (via Glenn Hauser, WOR) See
also ARGENTINA [non]!

** U S A. 9330, Jan 13 at 2310, NO signal from WLCR/WBCQ. Must be off
the air, what`s wrong? 9265 WINB is there, and 9395 WRMI, etc. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1181.04, Jan 13 around 0445, JBA carrier hetting 1180
signals; heard on one receiver but not another, even with TV off. At
0719 not audible with TV on. Could still be a birdie from some local
device, but `logged` here in case of further receptions. Nothing this
far off in mwoffsets (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
