** CANADA. 15034 USB, Feb 26 at 1544, CHR Trenton Military finally
heard again after missing several days at random chex; flight weather
for Halifax, good S8 direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2336)

** CUBA. 11760, Feb 26 at 0732, S9+15/55 of dead air from RHC not
turned off hours ago. 15140, Feb 26 at 0733, JBA carrier. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Feb 26 at 1545, RHC S7/S9 music JBM with windhowl;
15230 S7/8 JBM music without howl; also 11760 at 1548, good mod and
clear S7/S9. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. Terry Krueger comments on the WOR iog: ``11880 CUBA RHC 2000
22 FEB 2026 - The best time to catch RHC in English here in NW
Florida, 2000-2100. Always local level and the one transmitter which
works almost flawlessly compared to the others. The same transmitter
is used for Spanish on 11760 at equal excellent level until highly
variable 1600-ish switch to 11880. Or sometimes, they don't bother to
switch and stay on 11760. Or sometimes, they never bother to come up
on 11880, like this day. Maybe Millennial Miguel (who never got to
learn "responsibility" from Arnaldo de Jesús Coro Antích) is on coffee
breaks when this happens?`` (VIA Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 2336)

** NORTH AMERICA. 9025, I have not caught the `presidential pirate`
again, but Terry L Krueger certainly has. Following is solely from
him, and must be credited as such:

``Boggy, Florida Occidental, IC-R75, NRD-535, ICF-7600GR, ICF-7600D,
Tescun PL-360, active loop, random fence-stapled wire, misc. junk.
9025 NORTH AMERICA (MUTANT) 'Presidential Pirate' 1546 19 FEB 2026
(Thursday) The usual presidential speeches audio snips at tune in,
again noted up at 1608. Very poor today. And 1608+ 20 FEB (Friday) at
fair level. But again, no trace of this on 21 FEB (Saturday) or 22 FEB
(Sunday), building on my theory that if not active weekends and
federal holidays, the source is a defense contractor testing a new
transmitter on this USAF HF channel. And there it is, back on 23 FEB
1428 check (Monday). Didn't get a chance to much monitor on 24 FEB
(Tuesday), but up at 1718 25 FEB (Wednesday), on/off as usual. Same 26
FEB, 1429 (Thursday) up briefly as well as other times after. What I
never noticed is that de-tuning to 9024.80 USB has the carrier
seemingly constantly on`` (VIA Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 2336)

** OKLAHOMA. 1680, Feb 26 at 1535 UT, JBA carrier wobbling at the rate
of about 5X per second, into home rig. Presumably Virtual DJ Radio
from other side of Enid, where I always hear it well on the caradio
but no BFO to detect the wobble (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY. 6125.003+, Feb 26 at 0453, VOT not off the air, signing off
in English, S9+25 into UTwente; 0454 IS to 0456*. The previous to NAm
Feb 25 at 2300 on 5960, had been missing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 299 MCW kHz, Feb 26 at 0744, HW, ND beacon at `Cubla`,
Wilmington OH, 25 watts, as first heard exactly 4 days ago. Wilmington
is between Cincinnati and Columbus (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, WTWW has received replacement parts, George McClintock
tells me, and expects to be back on air by Saturday Feb 28, not not in
time for the original WOR scheduled time of UT Sat 0400; possibly will
run it UT Sun or Mon at 0400? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Feb 26 at 0729, WBCQ is off again, and also at 1539.
So I asked Allan Weiner: ``Yesterday Feb 25 at 2322 UT = 6:22 pm EST,
I was hearing Portuguese on 9330, S9+20/30 on my generous meter, but
as before, ``non-solid`` signal off the side of your 170 beam toward
Brasil. But later in evening and since then, no signal on 9330. Can
you confirm this was WBCQ? I assumed it was, but also occurred to me
that WLC might have got some time on some other transmitter but on the
old frequency. So what is the outlook for full WLC service on your
9330 resuming? Tnx, Glenn`` - 24 hours later, 9330 is not back on
again, 2333 check Feb 26 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2336)

** U S A. 7505, Feb 26 at 0738, gospel huxter in English, S9+20/40
direct, another unpredictable WRNO extension (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15555 USB, Wolfgang Bueschel replies to my inquiry whether
anyone has been hearing WJHR, with what may be his latest? log: ``USA
15555 USB single sideband audio encoded, WJHR Milton FL, sermon on

** U S A. (1070), Feb 26 at 0600 UT, I`m monitoring the KHMO Hannibal
MO stream, khmoradio.com/listen-live/popup/
to determine whether the `Scott Jennings Show` playback I had been
hearing before 0800 was from KHMO or something else. 0601 CBS news,
0607.5 Alex Marlow show starts; but at 0707.5, yes, `Scott Jennings`
claiming to be live following SOTU. Yet the defunct Charlie Kirk still
appears on the KHMO program websked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 91.5, Feb 26 at 1604 UT, as I am bandscanning for Es FM DX
from Florida/Cuba, KSNS Medicine Lodge KS signal is enhanced enough to
make it clear that its music is in mono, not $ tereo; it`s on the Smile
FM network from all over Michigan. WTFDA FM DB does not specify mode
as mono. IIRC I have sometimes found the $ tereo pilot on (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9100 CW, Feb 26 at 1537, beeps every 7.5 seconds, i.e.
carrier on & off, steady rate of 8X per minute. What`s this? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 87.75 MHz, Feb 26 at 1602 UT, something in Spanish into
caradio tuned to 87.7 and also 87.9 but less audible. A trace of music
at 1609. I hastened to car after seeing on DXMAP sporadic E FM DX
being reported up to 99 MHz from OK to Lakeland FL, including 91.7
KOSU. Quick bandscans of bottom half of FM dial do not find anything
other unusual, and tropo from KS is somewhat enhanced.

WTFDA FM database shows on 87.7 only one FrankenFM in Spanish, and
it`s Florida: ``WEYS-LD 87.7 MIAMI FL SPANISH RELIGIOUS ALMAVISION
6035 3.0 kW H&V 232.0 m 25-58-15 80-12-32 Spanish 3D44 WEYS87.7
Almavision radio -Comprometidos con la verdad Religious Talk`` By
1730, DX opening to Lakeland has moved further south from Texas, then
outpeters below FM band.

Or could it be Cuba? Did not hear enough to determine whether
Christian or Commie, but WRTH 2026 page 771 implies that Cubavisión is
still on analogue 6 in Habana with 129 kW. If I enter Enid and Habana
on distancefromto.net, it shows 13395.69 km to an Habana on the
Queensland coast! No, not that one!
``Habana is a coastal rural locality in the Mackay Region, Queensland,
Australia. In the 2021 census, Habana had a population of 1,022
people`` ---
Specifying OK and Cuba: 2095.3 km = 1301.96 statute miles, so quite
possible in single-hop Es range (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2336)

** 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.

** 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

** 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

** 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:

``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.

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,

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)

** 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:

** 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

February 22 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.998-, S9 into
UTwente across Europe. Immediately preceded by `Maria`s Heart to
Heart` at 1945 on European Gospel Radio.

Also confirmed Sunday February 22 at 2112 the 2100 on WRN Europe
stream.

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

** 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,

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? (Glenn
