DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS updated Jan 6: http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html WORLD OF RADIO SCHEDULE updated Jan 6: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html ** ALASKA [non]. 13760, Jan 6 at 0213, lively song, of praise? almost like it`s looping; 0215 Today`s -something, evangelizing mentioning bible, faith in god; 0218 US PO Box address. S9 and the SSOB, yea OSOB on 22m. EiBi says this is African Pathways Radio, via MADAGASCAR, for S Asia. That makes no sense! This is in plain American accents, no African accents used by APR. But no S Asian accents either. This has been a confusing situation for some time, perhaps World Christian Broadcasting not without blame. Aoki, OTOH, says it`s W.C.B, no target. Neither gives azimuths, but HFCC shows 40 degrees for CIRAFs 41 and 42S = S. Asia. That angle means we are close to off the side from it thisaway, yet MWV has that huge transequatorial propagational advantage. It must be blasting in the boresight. All sources agree there is a second hour at exactly same parameters, 0300-0400; repeat of same daily content, or different? For convenience via an Illinois remote at 0254 I recheck during the wacko `Creation Moment`, then 0255 ``Your New Life Station`` with its Friday program, hours and ``best`` frequencies. In the Pacific: 6075 at 08, 9680 at 10, 9580 & 9625 at 12, 6110 at 14. In India, 13760 at 02 & 03, says Rob Scobey of Your New Life Station - no mention of Madagascar, nor of Alaska! For this is a.k.a. KNLS during those Pacific emissions when it`s really Alaska [non non]. 0259 pause. 0300 English will start in one minute, meanwhile playing the familiar KNLS IS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Sat Jan 7 at 1552, no signals from LRA36 into Argentine remotes. Since has been missing last week presumably summer hiatus, did not alarm me an hour earlier, but checking after natural awakening. Now the best Argentine KiwiSDR, LU4AA is offline. Two others show *NO* SW signals at all on their waterfalls, altho band noise sounds as if receiving: LU5AGQ, LU4EEC. The only funxional one, LU1HCW, hears it not. Of course, possibly came and went earlier today circa 1500; anyone hear it, or try to? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, re my not hearing LRA36 in ``Log report Jan 7th 2023 --- When I‘ve tried to find out if RNA was on or not, i.e. already around 1440 UT, nothing of a signal came in via any of the relevant SDR spots like Uruguay or even Brazil (Pardinho) or those you‘ve already mentioned. 73 Joachim Kornek, Dortmund, Germany`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wed Jan 11 at 1517 tune-in for the next 20 minutes, NO signal from LRA36 into two Brazilian SDRs, while the two Argentines online were not getting anything at all. More hiatus if not a failed RNASG attempt earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** AUSTRALIA. Unique Radio: see USA [and non]: WORLD OF RADIO monitoring ** BRAZIL. 11749.651, Jan 6 at 0721, new frequency of R. Voz Missionária, S6/S7 vs HNL with music, way off nominal 11750 just like it has been below 9665 and 5940. 9665v is now OFF, so is it the same transmitter and cannot be on both at once? Nor any trace of 5939- for several weeks now. Wolfgang Bueschel also tracked the 25m channel wobbling all over the place. Tnx to Célio Romais who first reported the new frequency. It seems 11750 had been allocated to RVM many years ago, but not even in WRTH 2005 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 5938.241, Jan 7 at 0750, JBA carrier in sideband of huge 5935 WWCR. I`m deliberately seeking R Voz Missionária, reconfirmed active here; also at 0752 on 9665.312, music at S3/S5. AND at 0755 JBA on 11749.702, just reactivated frequency: so they do have three transmitters. 11750 power must be minuscule, as RNA 11780 from 0800 ``Bom dia - Brasil rural`` blasting in at S9/+10, rated 250 kW. Art Delibert reported: ``11749.56 -- Hearing the reactivated Voz Missionária here from about 0232 this evening, parallel to 9665.32. Music and talks in Portuguese. Fair signal level, but lots of local noise here. Tnx Glenn Hauser for the tip on reactivation (Art Delibert, N. Bethesda, MD, 1/7/23, Ten-Tec RX-340, SAL-12 antenna, Hard-Core-DX mailing list)`` And Art adds: ``Glenn -- I see Voz Missionária listed in the 2014 WRTH as 1 kW inactive, and in the 2015 WRTH as 10 kW inactive.`` About 11750 while implying the other two were not inactive. Strangely, no callsigns shown for 5940 & 11750, but ZYE890 for 9665. Here are the measurements by Carlos Gonçalves, Lisboa, Portugal, some hours earlier: ``11749.6 2220-2230 06/1 B R.Voz Missionária, Camboriú SC. Natl. nx magazine A Voz do Brasil. Meas. 11749.633 // 5938.246, 9665.328. 25331 CG`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 2598 USB, Jan 11 at 0740 UT, roboYL voice in English with marine weather for south coast, east coast of somewhere, presumably Newfoundland. Good S9 signal; slightly weaker S8 on 2749 USB at 0742 Jan 11 same voice but presumably different forecasts for Nova Scotia area. Once again these are first scheduled broadcasts of a new day for early-rising mariners: 2598 from 0737 is VCP-4 Placentia with 3000 watts; 2749 from 0740 is VCO Sydney with 550 watts. Each shares time with several other stations, per Metarea IV in https://dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA [and non]. 11590, Jan 8 at 1607, S9/+10 Firedragon jamming, probably our best chance to hear it, but mixed with Chinese, either target RFA TINIAN or more likely another jammer with CNR1 programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 7665, Jan 9 at 1625 music and 1626 Chinese, S6/S9 with flutter, not expecting to hear anything so late on this band; NZ 7390 JBA carrier leaving this the SSOB. Must be CNR1 jammer from eastern China rather than target RFA Mandarin via Tajikistan at 15-17 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA [non]. 5910, Jan 10 at 0342, S9+20/30 of dead air except for some hum, instead of CRI/CGTN in English, scheduled via CUBA at 03-05 in English, Cantonese. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, Jan 6 at 0219, RHC Spanish is S9+20 but suptorted == modulation suppressed and distorted. No signal on 11850 but a horrible crackle circa 11852: see USA: WWCR. 9535 also RHC, S8/9+10 stronger than usual but JBM. Something`s always wrong at RHC. BTW, I perform a broad Google search of the Internet on that catch-phrase I coined. It insists on searching first with a proper apostrophe, resulting in 155 hits. When I insist on searching on the way I spell it, with a ` grave accent instead, we get about 3000. Of course most of these are bound to lead to my postings, altho some others have taken it up; not including the slightest variations by me or them (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6165 // 6000, UT Fri Jan 6 at 0236, RHC English as Lena Valverde starts `Arts Roundup`. Equally good signal and mod on both (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, Jan 6 at 0238, R. Rebelde is S9+20/30 but overmodulatedistorted; meanwhile there are NO signals on 4765, 5040, 10050 or 10080. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, Jan 6 at 0717, R. Rebelde music is S9+20 but still suptorted. No RHC frequencies still on 5, 6 or 10 MHz. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11670, Jan 7 at 0759, S9/S8 of dead air, obviously RHC transmitter which should have turned off hours ago. Maybe in English until 0700? Only 5/6 MHz frequency still on at 0751 is 6165 with S9+10 of dead air too. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 9535, Jan 7 at 0802, this RHC is still on! S4/S6 modulating Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC. I think Algeria via France used to be here. B22 EiBi shows R. Ndarason Intl for Chad at 06-07 Woofferton, 07-08 Ascension. Also blox the exotic Apsua Radio from Georgia at 04-07 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 10080, Jan 8 at 0215, RHC Spanish S5/S7 direct but JBM, // much louder 9650. Transmitter once again mistuned to second harmonic of proper 5040 where nothing but a JBA carrier. At 0745, 10080 still on with Spanish newscast, no 5040. Something`s always wrong at RHC. EiBi now shows 10080 at 2200-0800; and as I outpointed when this initiated, victims are 10081 aero HF data linx of Shannon and San Francisco. See my Nov 21 report for more about HFDLs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, Jan 8 at 0217, R. Rebelde here and no 10050, S9+30/40 but overmodistorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser,OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6165, Jan 8 at 0743, only RHC English still on altho with S9 Spanish music at the moment but not // 10080 real Spanish service, q.v. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, Jan 8 at 1606, RHC is OFF, leaving only weak 15140 for Sunday Esperanto. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Check various frequencies for it at 2130? 2230? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. Horacio Nigro has just reported that Arnie Coro died this morning Jan 8 at age of 80. QEPD/RIP (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 4765, Jan 10 at 0337, no signal from R. Progreso. Have not been checking for it much during short nominal sked, 0130-0500; has anyone heard it lately? Only other 60mb Cubans, 5040 RHC and 5025 Rebelde are also off, tho 5025 is sometimes on. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6165, Jan 11 at 0727, S9 of dead air, in English or Spanish? only RHC still on, where something`s always wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.994, Jan 6 at 2234, no signal into UTwente from R. Cairo in English nominally 2115-2245. Somethings always amiss at Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846, Jan 6 at 0735, only 9/kHz split JBA carrier is here, R. Kiribati (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Jan 8 at 0753, no signal from R. Kiribati, presumably another Sunday silence; nor any other 9/kHz splits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Jan 10 at 0722, no signal detectable from R. Kiribati, nor any other 9/kHz JBA split carriers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Jan 11 at 0744, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati, and no other 9/kHz splits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MADAGASCAR. 9765, Jan 9 at 2240-2255, found some music here to accompany a seminap: barbershop quartet? with gospel harmonies in English, with occasional interruptions by hyper announcer of `Palavra Alegre` in Brazuguese from MWV. S9/+10 but with very heavy flutter adding to the effect, despite trans-equatorial path to here rather than to target Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MADAGASCAR. See ALASKA [non] ** MALI. 5995, Sat Jan 7 at 1853, weekly English from ORTM, S5/S8 into Canary SDR, but terrible whine/squeal from something and splash from 6000 even with AMNarrow or SAL tuning. Heavy accents from M&W announcers further make it almost unintelligible, barely recognizable as English. 1902 back to music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 5 at 0732, VON at S9/+10 but JBM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255, Jan 6 at 0733 check, no signal from VON (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 7 at 0747, VON is on at S9/S6 but dead air. Something`s abysmal at Abuja (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 8 at 0749, no signal from VON. You never know whether it might have come and gone irregularly earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 9 at 0741, VON on at S9/+10 but JBM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 11 at 0726, V. of Nothing, no signal from Abuja (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORFOLK ISLAND. 5045, Radio DX: unfortunately not a log by me, as it was on short notice while I slept on, but Nick Hacko reactivated this SWBC radio country January 11 to make some tests, again like last April employing the ID I recorded for him as well as some World of Radio excerpts. Thanks to his notifying the WOR iog about this, there was a flurry of reports by those awake from 0741 past 1045, hearing it direct or via remotes. Perhaps he will be doing this again in the near future. Not 5055 as some had expected; and be careful as there may be a Queensland station also on 5045 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 USB, Jan 8 at 0225, rock music at S6/S7, the OPOB = only pirate on band, that is audible. These say it`s Two Dog Radio: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,107892.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW, Jan 6 at 0745, PN, 25 watt ND beacon at PoNca City is reactivated. Was first noted off as of Jan 4. 350 MCW, Jan 6 at 0747, RG, 350 watt ND beacon at Will RoGers World Airport, OKC is also reactivated. Was first noted missing Dec 23 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, KUCO-FM, new times for `Module` programs M-F are being found by monitoring: Fri Jan 6 at 2101-2105 UT, `Engines of Our Ingenuity` from KUHF, this one from 2005/2006y about how the leap second came about - altho they seem to have stopped by now. At 2200-2202 UT, `Composers Datebook`: this is the one with easy access online: for half an hour per biweek, you can hear all past 14 episodes including weekends, along with the scripts and notice how the announcer has edited them: https://www.npr.org/podcasts/381443926/composer-s-datebook And at 2300-2303, `A Day to Remember`, this one about the one wife of Henry VIII who survived while Cromwell got the blame and beheading. Yes, during KUCO local classical origination again, including rush-hour traffic reports of no use outside The Metro (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, Jan 5 at 0430 UT, K17JN-D Enid is OFF the air again, just in time for me not to be able to see another episode in 3ABN`s series about Adventist World Radio. Will advise if and when this upshow again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PERU. 4810, Jan 11 at 0729, JBA carrier vs heavy STANAG noise on 4810+. I`m always alert for anything here in my bandscans, since so few broadcasters are left on 60m, nothing detected for months at least in the nightmiddle. Suspected R. Logos, Chazuta, 1 kW, which as of WRTH 2022 deadline was double-daggered as inactive. TBM shows not reported since Sept 2022. No other BC stations now known anywhere, anywhen on 4810 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 7410, Jan 6 at 0230, nice Romanian folk music at S9+20/30, and // weaker 5990 RRI a few minutes later but with some unpleasant yelling. I look it up in the latest edition of Alan Roe`s Music Programmmes on Shortwave, RRI`s French hour, but Friday is the only day of week with no entry at 0230-0245! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SCOTLAND [non]. 5850, UT Sunday January 8 at 0100-0200, `Encore` classical music via WRMI, heard sufficiently well via Lincoln, Nebraska SDR. I heard only part of it on first airing UT Friday 0200 on 5850, inconvenient time. Another opportunity UT Monday 0300 on 5950 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Jan 6 at 2300, token English from REE, feature topix preview to be about Toys for Tots and Ronald McDonald at a children`s hospital; and what to expect from music in Spain this year? Between them asks for comments by whatsapp long number, or email. 2318 Amy Egan on the Spanish music scene in 2022, different genres including rock, flamenco. Good S9+10/15 into Maryland remote. At 2322 check other frequencies into same remote: 11940 much weaker but audible; 12030 JBA; 11685 inaudible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Mon Jan 9 at 2300, token English from REE to North America, VG into Maryland SDR and don`t explore the others. Switching back and forth with simulTurkey, q.v. 2308 sports news about golf refers to something called a ``boogie``, 2309 things being calmer in Spain than Brasil; 2314 asking for email or whatsapp contacts. 2315 about a Picasso/Chanel exhibition (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Jan 11 at 2305, token English from REE. Main feature by Hélena Rigobert is about a new modernized produxion of Purcell`s opera Dido & Aeneas opening Jan 17 in Madrid. Great music interspersed; 2318-2321 break for report from Lebanon correspondent about a church being completely vandalized by some Syrian. 2321-2330 fills with Act I of D&A, or part of it. VG S9+20/30 into Maryland SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.005+, Jan 6 at *2259, VOT comes on overlapping BBC OMAN; but after BBC is off, still a heavy rippling SAH upon VOT, because it`s the one +5 Hz off-frequency vs the carrier from PBS Xinjiang, East Turkistan, land of imperialist Chicom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems, as yet itself unmodulated. VOT`s news until 2309 music bit and `Review of the Tuerkiyish Press` only until 2311 more music bit. 2312/2313 modulation starts from the CCCCCCI making matters worse. 2320 Analysis of Russia vs Ukraine during 2022. 2332 `Feeling Supreme` theme but too much QRM. 2334 switch to Maryland SDR no longer needed for Spain, gets rid of most of QRM but much weaker noisy signal remains. Anyhow we are distracted by going out for full view of a beautiful orange/pink sunset; 2343 more music playing; 2346 `DYKT?` highest point in Turkey, Mt Ararat, 5137 m and attempts to climb it; song. 2353 s/off with full but jumbled English schedule. 2355 fragment of IS and off* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.002+, Sat Jan 7 at 2307, VOT English is on, S9+20/30 into UTwente but somewhat undermodulated vs the CCCCCCI making them an almost equal intolerable mix, so I don`t try to listen for content. 2348 already playing IS, sign-off earlier than usual: except it`s still on, 2357 switching to German IDs interspersed. And stays on well past 0000 Jan 8 with yet another extraneous broadcast. No more clashing with The Mighty KBC which has left Nauen 5960 for WRMI 5950 22 hours later. For other reasons: KBC never showed any concern for the unpredictable collision with Turkey, sticking to 5960 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOWR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Jan 9 at 2300, VOT English VG S9+40 into UTwente and good modulation level except for light squeal. I`m switching back and forth with SimulSpain, q.v. After news, 2309 `Review of the Turkish Press`; By 2315 the CCCCCCI carrier from XJPBS, East Turkistan, std denunciation seems to be depressing the sound heard from Turkey with its undercurrent. 2318, `Feeling Supreme` about the great health benefits of kiwi fruit, antioxidant, etc. 2324 music break; 2330 something about preserving Turkish culture (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.018, Jan 10 at 2304, VOT English is on today but with hum and way undermodulated, S9+30 into UTwente. By 2312 the CCCCCCI from EAST TURKISTAN is on adding to the QRM and making a rippling SAH since VOT is so far off-frequency. 2312-2328 `Weekly Commentary` about the CFA Franc and Africa solving its own problems; 2332 next feature whose title I can never understand, something about Tuerkiye`s Geo-something. Sign off and cut carrier at 2353* after only a few notes of IS, no finesse --- either that or an extra hour in German. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Jan 11, 2300, VOT English, timesignal, news, S9+25/35 into UTwente but I`m mainly listening to simulSpain, q.v. 2330-2338 repeating `Weekly Commentary` about the CFA Franc; yesterday was placed much earlier in the hour. 2343-2349 another repeat, about the great kiwi fruit. See #4 below about title of this segment. This time I`m listening closely: could be ``Healing Supreme`?? Definitely a U between the S and P. 2352 s/off with sked, IS once to 2353* uncovering the CCCCCCI which had been underneathing all along. Alan Holder had replied to my logs: ``Hi Glenn, I hope you are in good health. I'm fine here at the moment. I always read your daily logs posted on the WOR io group site with much interest. I note that you are having difficulty in understanding some of the program names on VOT. Well, you are not alone, as I also have this problem (as I'm sure many others do). Some of the announcers have such thick accents, and this, coupled with signal fading, does not make for easy comprehension. Besides short wave, I have also listened carefully online and as far as I can make them out, here are some of the English program names: 1. Gripping Files 2. Turkey's Geo-marketed products 3. The 'Firsts' of Anatolia 4. Healing Spring {which I had concluded was `Feeling Supreme` -gh} The first title is a bit odd - probably translated from the Turkish word sürükleyici Either of the synonyms: intriguing, or fascinating might be more appropriate than gripping. Unfortunately they do not seem to have a native English speaker on staff. #4 Although nothing to do with the benefits of spring water, the program features the 'magical' healing properties of certain foods and other natural products. But I still think they could find a better title. You are right about the heavy accent of one of the lady announcers. And coupled with the constant fall and rise in intonation, I find listening to her delivery really annoying. Not wishing to be unkind, I really wonder why she was hired in the first place. Still no sign of the "Letterbox" program. The last edition was in August 2020 if I remember rightly. I think some of the announcers are working from home, as I can detect a "roomy echo" sometimes, instead of studio quality sound. All the best to you.

Manager Tim Gaynor explains to me that local times are correct in AEST of UT+10, not AEDT of UT+11, since altho in NSW he is close to Queensland which stays on UT+10 and he does not like DST; nor do I! Could anyones awake then please confirm times by webcast and/or by remote receiver tuned to 5035 USB confirming it is on air? Still unknown which frequencies are really in use by WRMI, Friday Jan 6 at 0830: 5010, 5850, 7780? In fact, none are now shown for WOR. Note there is a new time for WOR as on sked below, Sat 2230 on three? frequencies.

WORLD OF RADIO 2172 monitoring: Bill Tilford says the WBCQ R. Angela airing succeeded this week, UT Sat Jan 7 at 0500 on 5130v. New time on WRMI sked, Sat 2230 on 5850, 7730, 15770, so I`m all set Jan 7 to check these out, via remotes and direct, resulting in quite a confusing situation. To Missouri SDR, 5850 is S9/+20 but still music at 2230, WOR seems to start late at 2231. But this SDR keeps dropping out every few seconds, like buffering? Then I switch it to 15770 while Maryland and UTwente are getting no signal there altho aimed toward them. These interruptions add up, so Missouri is still playing WOR on 15770 until 2305.7! 7730 has been completely gone tho on the schedule: briefly I think I`m hearing WOR there, but it must have been a delay in remote activating frequency tuning change. Back to earlier in the semihour: on 5850, WOR interrupted by music, `Those Were the Days`, and at 2240, `Both Sides Now` heard direct on 5850. Confirmed UT Sunday January 8 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/S5 into Maurice, Louisiana SDR which gets 7780 aimed SW from FL better than the others. Playout still starts with 10+ seconds of noise out of WRMI itself overriding my first words! Confirmed UT Sunday January 8 starting at 0428 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+15/20 into neighborly SDR, but still with lots of storm noise no closer than the lightning line from SE TX across N LA and C/N MS.

Ted ``destroyed commercial broadcasting`` on the non-SFA transmitter as it has been difficult to regain clients, who concluded SW is no good. Anyhow, #1 transmitter is disabled, lacking 8 cards to make it run at no more than 75-80 kW. Has not had a chance to get #2`s 9 MHz daytime frequency operational. Has photographic evidence of the messes Ted left, even worse than the ones already sent me. 5085, Jan 10 at 0338, SFA talking about something happening in March 2022, so it`s not limited to hoary decade-old recordings of PPPP.

What a waste. In fact now not a single XE is listed on 1580. 0250 quick partial ID caught between songs, ``FM``. Then the DX-398 DFs this to NW/SE, so no doubt KFCS Colorado Springs CO, the closest and most obvious of the six USSS in NRC AM Log, but hard to believe it`s on night power of 140 watts rather than 10 kW ND day. Log says it`s in the Grp= Tigre 94.7 headed by KRYE 94.7. I remember when the 1580 CS/CO was something in English.

Meanwhile, no further reports of Mongolia continuing on 7260 but China is there too, PBS Xinjiang listed, and also CRI after 1100; RV may as well continue attaining three other frequencies for the price of one, at least after 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU [and non]. 11835, Jan 6 at 0725, R.

Now RNZI is also VG S9+10/20 with its songs on 13755. 7890 RV however is a JBA carrier only.

But some interesting observations in the ODXA iog: ``Over the last several nights I've noticed an unmodulated carrier on 5051 kHz. At first I thought it might be some station that hadn't signed on yet but after several hours nothing more was heard other than the carrier. I then checked and verified that it wasn't a receiver birdie. I decided to check a few of the online receivers around my area to rule out a local source. This carrier showed up on all of the receivers I checked. The other night I did a large sweep of many receivers around the world, and as long as they were in darkness this signal was there at various levels of strength. For receivers that were in daylight this signal would show up after their local sunset. This carrier is heard all over North and South America, Europe, and the far East. It seems to be stronger as you go further north. It is strongest in Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Scotland, etc. It is weakest in the southern hemisphere although I could still hear it in Argentina and Chile and it came in fairly well in Australia and New Zealand. It was barely audible on one of the South African receivers. After many hours of checking I've never heard any type of modulation, and it does seem to follow the day/night propagation changes for a signal on this frequency. Anyone out there have any idea what this might be or where it might come from? Cheers, John VE3CXB`` Hudak To which Richard Lacroix replied: ``03:00 UTC 08 JAN 2023 - I can also confirm reception in N.E. Canada with a nice quiet S8 signal on both my T2FD and Wellbrook loop antennae. The signal is also present on the University of Twente Wide-band WebSDR with an S9 signal. I have run several TDoA passes on the signal and they have all been fairly consistent placing the signal near Island [ICELAND] or the Western part of Europe. I think it is safe to assume that this originating from somewhere in Europe but as always, I do not place any great deal of confidence from the results obtained from the KiwiSDR TDoA service.

Meanwhile someone noted some others like it ending in 51 elsewhere on SW, possibly related (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 7390.057, Jan 11 at 0724, JBA off-frequency carrier. Aoki & EiBi have nothing scheduled now, but RFI until 0700, CRI from 1000. An RNZ frequency of course, but not until 1300. HFCC also shows a wooden alternate? registration for WWCR on 85 degree antenna at 1400-2000, never activated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9490, Jan 6 at 0730, S5/S9 open carrier and no jamming; 0731 starts 1 kHz tone. Only thing in Aoki & EiBi & HFCC at this hour is PBS Xizang, ChiCom-imperialist-occupied Tibet, at 0158-0957 and this would be amid the so-called `Holy Tibet` English hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9490, Jan 7 at 0804, S3/S5 mystery open carrier again, brief tone and off 0805*. Probably a test frequency for USAGM or some major Eurosite (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
