From now and for an unknown time, at least for 3years, I will not use any radio except the remote SDRs for DXing. Recently wemoved from the village back to the city in a space that prohibits the use ofdesktop DXing, a place flooded by high levels of noise in the LMHF bands. Theradio is now used mostly for FM, for news listening.we run politically livelycondition with always very interesting twits every day ..

** BRAZIL. 28395 USB, Feb 18 at 2311, ZV3RS calling CQ10, QRZ in
English, then working KB4ASZ? unheard. Yet another LABRE special call,
this one in Rio Grande do Sul.

28440 USB, Feb 18 at 2312, ZV2SP calling QRZ: this one of course in
São Paulo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 15034 USB, Feb 18 at 1528 and then continuous monitoring
1600-1645+ via PEI, no sign of CHR, Trenton Military. In random tuning
past few days, have not hit it nor in dark on 6754 USB -- so totally
silent again? When funxional, is not continuous, with certain breaks
during an hour, but when are they supposed to be? This reference,
https://dxinfocentre.com/volmet.htm
shows both starting at 10, past the hours, the comma implying there
used to be another time, like 40? deleted. 15034 at 1010-2400Z, 6754
at 2310-1100Z. Note the overlap, but only one transmitter? There are
no other stations on either, so hardly necessary to `share` times.
Many instances before, Trenton has disappeared, only to show up again
eventually sometime. Are they serious? At least the last time I heard
them, reports were being received (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Feb 18 at 1531, DA at S7/S8 or JBM? but no signals on
15140, 11880, 11760. Something`s always wrong at RHC. As for
redesigned website, Bill Tilford comments in the WOR iog:

https://www.radiohc.cu/programacion/

The website calendar that link above shows has been a work in (not
much) progress for some time. If you like puzzles, you can try to play
some of the English-language podcasts being archived here....
ENGLISH-LANGUAGE PROGRAMMING / February 15, 2026 - Radio Habana Cuba

https://www.radiohc.cu/en/podcast/english-language-programming-february-15-2026/
{on Feb 18 if you change date to 17 or 16, it`s 404 -- gh}

In fairness, Cuba has no monopoly on user-challenging shortwave
websites, but they have not stopped producing content, maybe just
recalibrating what's terrestrial and what isn't. The Spanish language
service had already been using the tag line "Cuba Online" for a while.
The new website configuration is aiming at archiving several days of
programming. I don't objectively know that terrestrial is being
discontinued, but archiving days at a time could prove to be a plus
under the circumstances. --Bill Tilford`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. Feb 18 at 2037, all known RHC frequencies off. But 11880, Feb
18 at 2305, RHC S9+20/30 of dead air; 11760 as strong on the meter but
DA marred by windhowl; 15140 off and also CRI 13650 relay missing.
SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 USB, Feb 18 at 2316, hard rock S9+10/20. Many
logs here as Thunder Chicken Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,158871.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 5140-USB, Wed Feb 18 at 1500-1508 UT, no show
from weekly? Emergency net. Could be on alternate frequency in the 7s?
Don`t remember it, but quick bandscans 7300-7900 don`t hit it.
Uplooked later, it`s 7477. Furthermore, nothing at 1530 from the
equivalent Missouri net on 5140-USB, not weekly? During nonsensical
DST, will be one UT hour earliers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Feb 18 at 2300, token weekly English from REE by
heavily-accented announcers, good here S9+10/20 and 12030 S7/S9 but
17715 JBA and 17755 still absent. After previews, 2302 summary of news
of the week, starting with monthiversary of train crash in Córdoba;
congress rejects far-right proposed law banning burkas (I think); 2322
winner of song contest gets a golden mermaid; instead of Eurovision
Song Contest, which Spain may not participate in, to protest Israeli
genocide in Gaza; 2323 about derailment killing 46 and injuring more
than 100, how people have lost confidence in rail safety (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 18 at 2258, VOT not off the air but JBA direct
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7615 USB, Wed Feb 18 at 1505, net with tactical calls like
Black Granite 53 [Montana], Yosemite 80 [California], Fastrunner 31 &
41 [where?]. Civil Air Patrol, para-military sounding. Hit this when
hunting for Oklahoma Emergency Operations net missing from 5140 USB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2334 monitoring: confirmed UT
Wednesday February 18 at 0037 the 0030 on SW Radio Gold, Germany,
3975.001+, S&/S9 noisy into UTwente.

Have a great 2026``

One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9455, Feb 18 at 2300, since it`s Wednesday, no Argentina
relay but VORW on WRMI, not off the air; starts with time signal
implying far greater accuracy than in reality - must have aired 5-10
sex late (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1090, Feb 18 at 2318, EWTN ID in English, call in show
asking why aren`t you Catholic? Quite dominant on N/S antenna, but on
E/W loop some undermusic presumably KAAY Little Rock still on 50 kW ND
day pattern. EWTN is KEXS Excelsior Springs MO = Kansas City, D4 only
10 kW, or CH of 4000 per NRC AM Log. Then KEXS fades way down and back
up (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1420 kHz, Feb 18 at 0734 UT tuneacross, immediate ID as
KTOE, Mankato. KTOE in MN is U2 5/5 kW. Day pattern slightly oval
favoring SW; night pattern much more so, major lobe thisaway. But
normally dominant here is WOC Davenport IA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1441.67, Feb 18 at 0749 UT, mystery JBA carrier again,
while the TV set is off. A couple others at 0730 but then gone with
the TV off: 1159.47, 1360.02 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Tue Feb 17 at 2300 and later, this WRMI is
OFF, so no relay; prop OK as 9395 is on. Finally recheck at 2320, it`s
on VG in Spanish phone interview, ``en La Noche de Radio Nacional, con
todo el país`` so still domestic relay rather than RAE (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28444 USB, Feb 17 at 2305, ZV1ES calling CQDX over and
over. QRZ.com: ``ZV1ES Brazil flag Brazil, LABRE - Liga de Amadores
Brasileiros de Rádio Emissão, Brazilian Amateur Radio League - LABRE,
1934 - 2026 * 92 years of LABRE commemoration, Brazil`` but below a
list of ZV1s, with suffices matching states such as this: Espírito
Santo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA [non?]. 1100.29, re presumed off-frequency carrier from
HJAT Barranquilla: in ARC mv-eko, Jorma Mäntylä, Kangasala, Finland,
reported a different station on this skewed frequency, ``1100 4.2 0600
CMKQ R Angulo, Mayari. Första gången hör jag en kubansk station på
split-frekvens (1100,29). JM`` = ``First time I hear a Cuban station
on split frequency``

So I questioned which be correct; via editor Thomas Nilsson, he
replied,
``Hey, I know HJAT drift 1100,29. I have heard it several times. Here
is ID of R Angulo 1100,29:
http://www.kaapeli.fi/%7Ejmantyla/MP3/CMKQ1100.mp3
Jorma M.``

VP quality recording, but seems to ID as R. Angulo at 16 seconds into.
BTW, this name is pronounced an-GU-lo, not AN-gu-lo as the common
word. Further monitoring needed, especially near Cuba in daytime, and
DFing also at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Feb 17 at 2155, RHC music with windhowl, and tone,
S9+10/20. 11760, Feb 17 at 2301, S9+20 dead air, and 15140 S9+10/20 DA
with windhowl from RHC where something`s always wrong (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** ECUADOR. 6050, Feb 17 at 0730, no signal from HCJB. Had been
running overnight since first noticed Feb 10. Was it accidental, a
test, or what? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 21500, Feb 17 at 2157, JBA talk, S5/S6 = noise
level, anti-Christ pirate, Station YHWH as first reported today at
2050 by Ron Howard, then also heard by Chris Smolinski, Eric
Fetters-Walp. I first discovered YHWH on 21500, January 1 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 17 at 2258, VOT not off the air, VP direct (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2334 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday February 17 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+20 into S Texas SDR. This
interrupted a speech by Little Marco: I have no idea what that
program may have been. Per skedgrid, at 0330, WRMI-13, 7780 switches
from red System F to blue System D. But the program grid does not show
anything on 7780 between 0300 and 0330 on D, F or anyother System. The
guero site attempting to make WRMI skeds ``human-readable``, is even
less helpful:
https://www.guerogram.org/home/schedules

Also confirmed Tuesday February 17 at 1407 the 1400 on WRMI 9955,
S7/S9 direct.

Also confirmed Tuesday February 17 at 1510 the 1500 on WRMI 9955, by
now deteriorated to S5/S9 direct.

Also confirmed Tuesday February 17 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1332.997+, S9 into UTwente, cutting off Japan weather report from NHK.
Next:

0030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
0130 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;

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

** U S A. 9930, Feb 17 at 1544, WTWW S9+45, overmodulated and
distorted wtih presumed TOMBS. SSOB by far (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 650 kHz, Feb 17 at 0743 UT, dead air at S7/9+ from WSM
Nashville. Still DA at further chex 0757, 0800+, 0837. All dozing at
WSM? Yes, it is the middle of the night, but if no one at WSM is
listening to it, how can they expect anyone else to? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1040 kHz, Feb 17 at 2312 UT, Vietnamese YL mixing with WHO,
best on E/W loop. Got to be the only ETH/Viet listed in NRC AM Log,
WPBS Conyers GA, D1 50000, CH 5500 watts. This should be after sunset
there? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1090 kHz, Feb 17 at 2307 UT, trying to hear KAAY Little Rock
on day power and catch it cutting to 3.4 kW direxional at night. Now
there is gospel music, fading, but at 2311 discussing Rosary so likely
EWTN station KEXS Excelsior Springs MO. At 2343-2346 not much of
anything, as 2345 should be official sunset this month in Little
Rock.

OTOH, Terry Krueger told me Feb 16: ``They [KAAY] may be authorized at
3.4 kW nights but were still Bob Seger “Still the Same” excellent
level this pre-dawn today here in NW Florida. “Same as it ever was.
And look where my…” Talking Heads`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1150 kHz, Feb 17 at 2317 UT, WKDO? with traffic info for
I-12 and I-10, so got to be WJBO Baton Rouge LA, U4 15000/5000 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1210 kHz, Feb 17 at 2314 UT, ``Sunny 103`` with call-in to
AC 901. Therefore, WMPS Bartlett TN, address in Memphis, U4 10000/250,
as ``103.1 Sunny 1210`` in NRC AM Log (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1590, Feb 17 at 2310 UT, 573 AC for Dexter PD, sounded like
KVUN AM 1590, but per NRC AM Log, Dexter MO station is KDEX (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1130 kHz, Feb 17 at 0753 UT Spanish mentions 105.1 FM.
Cheater KLEY Wellington KS must be off for a change. NRC AM Log shows
no direct correlation between anything on 1130 and 105.1, let alone if
in Spanish. WTFDA FM DB shows several SS on 105.1 but no direct
correlation to relays of an 1130. See last night`s unID 1130, seemed
KSDO San Diego most likely, but no 105.1 correlation with that (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13500, Feb 17 at 1548, S9+20 open carrier amid CODAR
swirshing, off by 1553 check. Martí and WWCR frequencies modulating
where they should be, 13570, 13820, 13845 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
