Clicks were not heard on 9265 kHz so the program was QRM-free. "informal discussion but hard to follow with SW reception declining" This was the "Postcard from Poprad" news chat show with Eric Wiltsher (former U.K.journalist, BBC, etc.), Dave Rhodes, and Rachael Brunsden.

I was going to link to some more Uyghur music, but instead, about it being suppressed: ``“Eating Hanness”: Uyghur Musical Tradition in a Time of Re-education --- Amy Anderson and Darren Byler, p. 17-26 Abstract In February 2019, two major musical performances by residents of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region were widely circulated on Chinese social media. These two performances, one a Mekit County Harvest Gala and the other a performance by a Uyghur school teacher from Qumul, featured Uyghurs dressed in Han cultural costumes performing Beijing Opera. Over the past five years, since the “People’s War on Terror” started, the space for Uyghur traditional song and dance performance has deeply diminished. Simultaneously, the space for Uyghurs performing Hanness through Chinese traditional opera and Red songs has dramatically increased. Drawing on open source Uyghur and Chinese-language media, ethnographic fieldwork, and interviews with Uyghurs in diaspora, this article analyses the changing role of music in Uyghur religious and ritual life by tracing the way state cultural ministries have dramatically increased their attempts to separate Uyghur music from its Sufi Islamic origins in order to produce a non-threatening “permitted difference” (Schein 2000). Since 2016, the re-education campaign of the Chinese government on Uyghur society has intensified this disconnection by promoting an erasure of even the state-curated “difference” of happy, exoticized Uyghurs on stage. Han traditional music is now replacing Uyghur traditional music, which shows an intensification of symbolic violence toward Uyghur traditional knowledge and aesthetics. In a time of Uyghur re-education, musical performance on stage has become a space for political rituals of loyalty to a Han nationalist vision of the Chinese state.

Disposal wells within three miles of the largest earthquake’s epicenter have been ordered to cease operations, while wells from 3 to 10 miles of the epicenter must reduce volume to no more than 50% of the current 30-day average, according to an OCC news release. The decision was made by OCC’s Induced Seismicity Department. It is estimated the actions will reduce disposed volumes by about 9,000 barrels a day, according to OCC. “Researchers are in broad agreement that disposal into the Arbuckle formation in parts of Oklahoma can raise risk of induced seismicity,” said Matt Skinner, OCC spokesman. “Commission ISD directives since 2015 limiting or eliminating such disposal are among the actions credited with the sharp decrease in Oklahoma’s seismicity rate since 2015. The quakes — about four miles east and 1.5 south of Covington and 21 miles southeast of Enid — started at about 10:17 a.m., with magnitudes 3.5 and a 3.7 shaking the region, respectively, about 40 seconds apart, according to U.S. Geological Survey. Both were between about 2.5 and 3.7 miles deep and centered in the same area. About an hour later, two smaller quakes hit — a 2.3 at 11:27 a.m. and 2.6 at 11:29 a.m. — with the largest quake of the morning, a magnitude 4.2, centered in the same area at 11:48 a.m., according to USGS. It also was at a depth of 3.1 miles. Smaller quakes continued with a 2.6 at 11:59 a.m.; a 2.2 at 12:03 p.m.; a 2.3 at 12:14 p.m.; a 1.5 at 12:44 p.m.; a 1.9 at 1:12 p.m.; a 2.1 at 1:59 p.m.; a 1.8 at 2:20 p.m.; a 1.5 at 3:59 p.m.; a 1.9 at 4:31 p.m.; a 1.7 at 4:36 p.m.; a 1.7 at 5:08 p.m.; a 1.8 at 6:40 p.m.; and a 1.3 at 8:23 p.m. {altho USGS uses UT, these times converted to CST = UT -6} The quakes were reportedly felt nearby and as far as downtown and western parts of Enid, according to posts on social media. One Covington resident said the earlier twin quakes knocked items from the walls of her home. Oklahoma has in the past been the location of several earthquakes with the upsurge of oil and gas activity in the region starting prior to 2010. Temblors have decreased with action from Oklahoma Corporation Commission and practices undertaken by the industry to curtail wastewater injection in many places. In 2020, there were only 36 earthquakes with a magnitude greater than 3.0 throughout the state, with 16 of those in Northwest Oklahoma.`` (via gh, Enid) ** OKLAHOMA. 350-MCW kHz, 341-MCW kHz, 255-MCW kHz, Feb 9 at 0645-0659 UT, all three of our major ND beacons, RG in OKC, EI in Enid, and SW in Stillwater are AWOL, presumably due to frigid weather, slick runways, etc. At first I wonder if my own icy antenna be down, till non-Okies show up.

Confirmed Sat Feb 6 at 2230 on WRMI 9955, good on caradio and no jamming audible, but starting to show during `Viva Miami` following at 2300 with mailbag in English. Also confirmed Sat Feb 6 at 2308 the 2300 on WRMI 7780, JBA on caradio N of Enid on US 81/64/60. Also confirmed starting at 0422:30 UT Sun Feb 7 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, the Gateway 160 Meter radio Newsletter, VG via nearby Warrenton MO remote but with lightning crashes which must be coming all the way from the FL/GA area per Blitizortung.

WORLD OF RADIO 2072 monitoring: confirmed Sunday February 7 at 2302 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.93, S6-S8, at Nunavut item so probably started on time at 2300, hopefully both on SW and webcast. (Meanwhile the other WBCQ airs UBMP with Tajik music on 7390.22; The first half-hour of this always repeats 25 hours later, so you can listen to WOR and still get the first of UBMP later.) Both offsets confirmed by KB0FX remote in SAM mode. Also confirmed UT Monday February 8 at 0057 just in time the 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG direct. Also confirmed UT Monday February 8 at 0230 on WRMIs: 5800 VG S9+20 via Bonaire; 7780 VP S3 with staticrashes via UTwente; also WRN web. Also confirmed at UTwente Mon Feb 8 from 1900:33 on IRRS via Bulgaria 7290, intact at spotchex until closing 29 minutes later with a pause before some music fill. Usual ambiside splash de 7295 East Turkistan and just as bad 7280 Vietnam. Earlier, weak carrier on at *1854:28, bump up to full power by 1854:30, open carrier until 1859:50 last word of algo and cut to ending of sign-on with PO box only; 1900:04 `Feature Story News` before WOR start a bit earlier than usual.

Also confirmed Wed Feb 10 at 2100 on WRMI 7780: theme JBA here vs HNL; At 2106, VP S7 via UTwente, interrupted by irregular much louder chirping. Good at Maine SDR, no chirping audible.

Next WOR 2073 should be ready by early UT Fri Feb 12 for first broadcasts at 0130 on WRMIs 5850 & 7780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4980, Feb 10 at 0302, WRMI reactivated here, metering S8-S9 but JBA talk // much stronger 9455, i.e. SMTV. 9455 programming was moved to 5950; and 5950 to 4980? But then 4980 went off and 9455 replaced it; now sounds like 4980 is once again the very underpowered one, perhaps just exciter. What does skedgrid now show? 4980 is XMTR-4, but with NO hours of broadcast; no longer 11710, which never has been activated. I guess the 4980 unit now is just a placeholder (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5950, UT Sun Feb 7 at 0200, WRMI-8 with `YROT` opening Texas R Shortwave now with a regular slot: roboYL signs on in English and German offering special eQSLs for detailed reports; subject is Outlaw music, first tune starts about west Tennessee. Similar if not identical IDs and QSL offers at 0214; and 0242 followed by an 18-wheeler song, 0256 signing off, 0257 YROT theme again. Good S9+10/20 and clear but by the end with a SAH maybe Ethiopia. Same program is to repeat at same time every week this month (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. ``Ahoy Glenn - We saw your write-up about us in your log for February 6-7. We've received lots of compliments for WRMI's 5950 kHz signal. Your write-up's correct so we're sending along your limited edition eQSL.

I measure the parasitic JBA spurs one can`t help but notice in 1-kHz step bandscanning: 5097.991 and 5072.010, surely matching within margin of error and/or fundamental could be very slightly high, not measured directly. O yeah? Why doesn`t anyone else report them? At 0247 there are some modulation breaks within the music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Feb 7 at 0129, WTWW-2 hamtalk wrapping up with looong list of credits; by 0131 `Theatre Organ Under the Arch` is underway with another guest thorganist, but I can`t keep listening once music starts due to pervasive ripple on very strong carrier distorting the music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5980, Feb 7 at 0702, clear mixture of DGS from 5935 and Overcomer audio from 5890, i.e. leapfrog mixing product another 45 kHz beyond, between two WWCR adjacent transmitters; also some residual Cuban pulse jamming, adding up to S9 here, while 5935 is S9+30, 5890 is S9+40. Unusually strong in the nightmiddle; often earlier in evening they have faded way down, depending on MUF and skip distances. No, 5980 is not receiver-produced: still there with preamps off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 610, Feb 9 at 0144 UT, S9 of dead air from KCSP Kansas City MO, but some JBA talk either from KCSP barely modulated, or an understation. Like this for at least 2 minutes I stay with it. If a station will not have anyhuman staff listening to itself, how can they expect the public to do so? Radio-lccator.com shows site as a smidgen west of Stateline toward Overland Park, KANSAS. Harold Frodge puts it in Prairie Village KS. Both KCSP and KYYS in separate report are Entercom outlets, reversing state lines. I suspect lots of seemingly ethnic Spanish stations are really owned by Anglo groups (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 750, Feb 6 circa 2124 UT, still no signal from KMMJ Grand Island NE, which has been off for months pending sale and reformatting --- and recalling? During bandscan on caradio near Nescatunga at artesian well. Here there is less splash daytime from 740 KRMG (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1110, Feb 6 at 2123 UT, VG talk signal presumed KFAB Omaha NE skywave already; yet the next 50 kW station to the east, 1040 WHO Des Moines IA, is barely audible. This does not make sense if both of them are really 50 kW ND! Could 1110 really be KVTT The Metroplex? This was English, not Asian, and altho 50 kW, KVTT is direxionally unfavorable; yet higher 50 kW direxional Mpx stations 1440 gospel huxter already in well, and also 1480 Vietnamese like 1560 Houston (Glenn Hauser, near Nescatunga OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1110, Feb 8 at 2115 UT, talkshow in English, loops NNE/SSW like KFAB Omaha; I`m checking at about the same time I was DXing a biday ago from Nescatunga, finding good signal from this whilst little from 1040 WHO Des Moines, which is a little further but ought to be doing at least as well via skywave, both 50 kW ND in daytime. Soon I check the remote in Omaha just to be positive, and then at 2130 a remote in Crowley TX, which is getting KVTT but poorly despite proximity: talk in S Asian language, mentions Pakistan so maybe Urdu? Then an adstring mostly in accented-English obviously concerning The Metroplex, two ``Radio Azad`` IDs heard, not ``FunAsia`` as in radio-locater. And the Azad name is not in NRC AM Log. Seemingly has no website to look up languages. Azad means ``free`` in Urdu, et al. KFAB however shows a local talkhost afternoons, Chris Baker, who would rather live in Omaha than Miami! KFAB is fading up and down a bit --- it`s at that awkward distance between edge of pure groundwave and skywave ramping up, 352 miles city-to-city; while Des Moines is 425 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** U S A. Broadcasting Information column in new IRCA DX Monitor Feb 13 but published Feb 8 includes: ``1250 KYYS Kansas City, KS old slogan: “La X 1250-La Súper Estación”, new: “La X 1250” --- Column data span: January 23-February 06 2021, Data courtesy of stationintel.com, FCC database and member contributions.`` I wonder which reported that, exactly? This implies that they have dropped ``La Súper Estación`` from their slogan IDs. I rather doubt this, and since KYYS is the dominant, tho QRMed night signal on 1250 here, I monitor it UT February 9. Before 0200 there is a talk show, but ToH ID goes ``La Equis, 1250, la número uno, La Súper Estación``. FCC call KYYS, and Kansas City, Kansas need to be mentioned too, and I may have missed them. Mostly music after 0200, but some more IDs at 0244, 0309, 0352 continue to include ``La Súper Estación``. Non-IDs are frequent with some variations, additional slogans, but always end with L-S-E-. The last two heard via the closest KiwiSDR remote in KS, by KD4SHO, whose map puts it around Shawnee Mission, greater KC/KS, but with remarkably poor `local` reception. Quite possibly someone heard KYYS sometime without L-S-E- but that does not mean it be official, permanent and irrevocable, and I suspect the same goes for some other ``changes`` rounded up for what is nevertheless a useful reference. BTW, the night coverage map at https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KYYS&service=AM&h=N&z=i shows site is definitely on the MISSOURI side, south of Liberty with a bit of a notch toward Overland Park and Enid. Harold Frodge attaches the site to River Bend MO. See also 610 KCSP log (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1370, Feb 6 at 2121 UT, insurance ad, ``1370 KGNO`` ID and C&W music, not strong and fading but mostly dominant on caradio at artesian well N of Nescatunga OK on State Hwy 11. I don`t hear it in Enid and was believed off or QRP for longtime but in last few months others have heard it active. I`d say it`s still underpowered for rated 5 kW ND at only 198 km = 122 statute miles from Dodge City over the Ogallala Aquifer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Checking which cable/TV channels are carrying live coverage at the outset of Drumpf`s Impeachment-trial-2, Feb 9 circa 19 UT an hour into it: KFOR (NBC, but had been in a break); KOCO (ABC); KWTV (CBS); Univision but with anchors aside; Telemundo, ditto; C-SPAN2; Fox News; CNN; MSNBC; Cheddar; PBS-World; CourtTV. NOT: Newsmax! But by 2040 UT, when it`s Trumpsters` turn, YES! No such thing as Fairness. And now, the Spanish channels are back to novelas. Around 1925 UT, a quick check of the AM & FM bands for major signals, not digging deeply: FM: Nothing but 91.7 KOSU OKC (NPR, of course). AM: NOTHING but KRMG 740 Tulsa --- that`s a bit surprising as therefore pre-empts the disgraced and dying Lush Rambo; Biden should revoke his Presidential Medal of Freedom; and after 20 UT, when the trial has switched to the Retrumplicans, instead of Hahn Shannity. BTW, the website https://www.krmg.com shows nothing whatsoever about KRMG being anywhere but 102.3 FM, unfortunately inaudible here; who cares about 50 kW on AM? Throwaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 11835, Feb 4 at 0701, R. Vanuatu, presumed third harmonic of 3945, JBA modulation. Happened to check now but per Ron Howard, previous fundamental 7260 has extended an hour until 0659* so no harmonix before then; often audible also on X2 = 7890 but not now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2072) ** VENEZUELA. 6200-RCUSB, Feb 10 at 0142, VP S3 but no long waits for ID from ``ROCV, 6200``, tropical music; via Bonaire SDR. Must be still plugging along with 50 watts, espering licensure (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 6049.975, Feb 7 at 0707, JBA audio off-frequency. Suspected ELWA Liberia which I have a tough time logging anywhen. Is it known to be minus 25 Hz? Per Aoki, only other 6050s now are Tibet and Malaysia, both in the their daytime and the latter long gone. ELWA supposedly starts at 0530 but is far enough west still to propagate this late, and I hear it no better earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) see LIBERIA above
