** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Sat Jan 28 at 1515, zero signals from LRA36 into the few SDRs online, 2 in Argentina, 1 in Uruguay and 1 in Brasil. Supposed to be another Saturday special at 1500 & 1900. Manuel Méndez whatsapped them and got reply that they *are* on the air, but still we are hearing nothing; propagation? I doubt it. Then I try the webcast link via Nacional Argentina webpage but no connexion. Then MM gets a reply with a different webcast link which worx for both of us: https://sa.mp3.icecast.magma.edge-access.net/sc_rad35 I start at 1617, talk about Antarctica; 1625 cut to ``RAE Argentina to the World`` multilingual ID reel including English, then about another base, Petrel, but lost contact. 1627 rock song. 1631 ID; 1633 Nicole on phone, apparently operating on ham band. 1635 off air recording of first day on air 20/10/1979. 1638-1650 call from Romina, one of the 4 YLs of the ex-2022 crewe. 1652 acknowledges SW propagation NG today, but got webcast. 1653 scripted piece about ``La Juventud``. 1655 outro credits for ``Uniendo Voces``, into songs. After 1900, still no SW signal into the nearest remotes. 1922 I`m on the webcast again and hear repeats of same thing including the 1979 ID, at 1945, and then Romina, etc. After 2000 keeps playing silently except for an autotimesignal at 2030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wed Feb 1 at 1857, LRA36 already on with songs: a special test for 1900-1945 previewed via Horacio Nigro as early as 1431. (I had not even bothered to check at 1500.): ``Adrian Korol advises that "Today there will be a test broadcast of LRA36 Radio Nacional Arcangel San Gabriel at 16:00 Argentine time (19 UTC) on 15476 khz USB for 45 minutes".`` I`m on one of the Argentine remotes which is getting it at the usual level, S9 peaks, not bad for 200 watts, but never overcoming the ``frying sound`` background noise level. 1900 Morse code too fast for me but presumably ID, and standard vocal s/on as ``Radio San Gabriel``, never mind the Nacional and the Arcángel, multilingual that will be only in Spanish; 1901 a reading about looking southward from Patagonia; `Uniendo Voces` program slogan; 1903 live OM as joint produxion with RAE/AAM, credits to Nicole and Adrián; contact info. Bit of music; efemérides = this week in history starting with 31 Jan 1909y; 1908 ``cultura es soberanía``; 1912 canción; 1916 ID as Radio Arcángel San Gabriel --- too much trouble to utter the full five-word name?? ``su cía``; phone tones, ``comunicad``, multilingual RAE ID reel. 1917 about carrying out pruebas, contact info again. 1918 saludos from various voices; then long talk about history of Antarctic bases, military operations; 1933 song; 1936 about memoria, but chopped off mid-sentence at 1937.5* never to return for another dekaminute I listened to the noise. Next, on Sat at 1500? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** AUSTRALIA [non]. `Calling All Radio Nutzz`, webcast via Unique Radio, Sat Jan 28 after 1900 with GB and Jen, including Slavic languages introduced by Dr Richard E Wood; and The Two Bobs flying over Switzerland with ham contacts. Before and after 2000 playing classic interval signals, some also with anthems. Then GB plays some ham contacts with him as M1ELK. His true name seems to be a closely guarded secret, but I found a post from M1ELK somewhere as Michael Dawson, and on ham bands his handle is Mike rather than GB. I guess that merely means he`s in Great Britain, part of UKOGBANI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL [and non]. 6170, Jan 31 at 0730, JBA carrier from presumed R. Saturno. First time I have detected it since a few days ago it was reported reactivated here, ex-6150.

Europa, Holland, lowpower possibly 24h; and Scandinavian Weekend Radio, Finland, at certain hours once almost every month, including Feb 3-4, ON at 22-14 & 18-22. Saturno was a rare newcomer to SW, not even making WRTH 2022 on 6150. It was first reported Oct 31, 2021 by Bryan Clark, NZ: a Belo Horizonte 92.3 FM station adding SW. Again tnx to Bryan who heard it on 6170 Jan 28, 2023, ex-6150 where heard on Jan 22, and Brazilians first reported 6170 on Jan 24. Further chex here needed!

It`s World Music Radio, 60 watts, 24/7 per op SHN as of 12/31. Per Aoki & EiBi it`s the only SWBC station active on the 11 mb. There used to be something DRM from Germany? HFCC shows imaginary registrations from Bulgaria 26000, Vatican 26010 for IRDR; and WMR might alternatively use 25795 or 25805. A few years ago there were US low-power NBFM ``remote pickup`` or ``talkback`` transmitters, 25870 from WFLA, 25950 from Denver, 25990 from The Metroplex, or vice versa?

By 2311 the usual CCCCCCI has started from East Turkistan, standard denunciation, but quite underweaker. 2313 Weekly Commentary on the same subject, by a professor, who says this went beyond freedom of expression which is not unlimited if it ``hurts`` someone. 2320 multilingual filler ID reel; this time I note Persian, ``inja ---``, and see that is not a VOT SW language per WRTH. 2326 Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring repeat about herbal remedies for constipation in children. How many Americans will have heard and followed such advice?? 2353 recheck going from s/off schedule to IS. 2356 restarts IS now interspersed with German IDs; 0000 timesignals mixing with CCCCCCI and s/on German with a timecheck for 1830. German still going at 0023, but off by 0044 with Urumqi uncovered. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Until 2330 I was simulmonitoring SPAIN, q.v.

Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 30 at 2309, VOT VG into UTwente, last news item about Toyota going to build hybrid E-SUVs in Turkey; 2311 `Review of the Turkish Press`, as the CCCCCCI starts from E Turkistan, std denunciation. 2313 song. 2317 `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring` about health benefits of pickles, evidently also various other foods pickled such as Sauerkraut: good for intestines, anti-oxident, affects moods, ending with ``Stay healthy, stay happy``. This bit surely has a catchy themetune: what is it? 2324 multi-lingual ID reel filler, during which I recognize a few more languages which WRTH says are NOT on VOT SW sked: Greek, Romanian, Hungarian. Tsk: BTW, Hungarian is related to Turkish. 2326 song.

But VOT has come on late, S9+40 by next check 2307 with news in progress, on 5960.002+, both as measured by UTwente Synch. The + means constantly fluxuating in the hundredths of a Hz, not clear whether of the transmitters, receiver, or both. VOT continues well atop XJPBS as an undercurrent. 2314 `Review of the Turkish Press`, not in any depth as usual. 2316 song. 2320 `Weekly Commentary`, by a freelance journalist in Berlin whose name I cannot copy, read by the heavily-accented woman announcer, about anti-American sentiment in Germany, foot-dragging on aiding Ukraine with some faxions wanting to maintain close relations with Russia. Implies that it`s in US` interest to escalate the war! Closing with disclaimer about opinions, name again I cannot understand, and invites listeners to submit their own commentaries by email for possible broadcast. 2329 music. 2336 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2338 music. 2344 recipe for a pastry in `Turkey`s Geo-something Products`. 2346 multi-lingual ID filler reel *again*. 2348 music. 2353 s/off with full but jumbled English sked. 2354 IS. 2356 restart IS with German IDs interspersed. 0000 Feb 1, 5+1 timesignal, same pitch but final pip prolonged, and s/on German, into news.

WORLD OF RADIO 2175 monitoring: Confirmed first SWBC, UT Friday January 27 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, good S8/S9 into Maurice LA SDR. Preceded by Firedragon-like music at 0329, no ID break; and still starts with noise blast over first 14 seconds, not moved to start 15 seconds later! Time for the Romania item about folk music was upcut: should be 0230. Not confirmed Friday January 27 at 1530 on WRMI 9955, since that frequency is already off when first checked at 1520; unlike last Friday when it permanested past 1600. However still on webcast at 1530, checked at 1556. Again followed at 1559 by Firedragon-like music; 1600 into Deutsche Welle, Africa Link on WRN. Why is this in Bonn rather than Köln or Berlin? System B sked still claims 9955 does not change to Internet only until 1630! I recheck the stream at 1630 when `Let the Bible Speak` starts as sked on Fridays only. Also confirmed Friday January 27 at 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, S7/S8 vs HNL into Parma SDR; when Noale accessed at 2144, VG S9+15/20.

Also confirmed UT Saturday January 28 at 0500 on WBCQ Radio Angela, 5130, S9/+15 into Virginia SDR, S7/S9 into Maryland SDR but better S/N ratio. Offsets compared: Maryland -7/8 Hz; Virginia - 14/15 Hz. Both cannot be right, so then I compare them on 5000.000 WWV: Maryland -0.2 to +0.3; Virginia, -6.6 to -7.1 Hz so the latter must not be believed. Of course, WWV would not be varying 0.5 Hz: must be SDRs` instability. Also confirmed Saturday January 28 at 1700 on WRN N America webcast. Also confirmed from 2033 UT Saturday January 28 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, VG S9+20 into nearby remote by groundwave. Also confirmed Saturday January 28 at 2230 on WRMI 15770, S9/+5 direct; and once again NOT on scheduled 5850: after ID 2229.5, music plays, apparently fill rather than a specific program; and listed // 7730 is still imaginary.

This time I stay on 7490- instead of switching to its webcast. 0100 `WTO` theme and Allan`s first words are ``magnificent bastards``, so this is a new live one. 0102 he has to cough, but beautiful Angela is by his side so both in Deland of Fla now. Explains that two weeks ago on a flight back from Maine he caught something, not COVID which has been bothering him ever since, felt like crap. Flight was from Presqu`île to Orlando/Sanford. Pressurization also blew his left ear, deaf there for three days; anyhow explains why no new show last week. Complains about inflation, eggs up from less than a dollar a dozen to $10 - really? Blames government in general, 535 members of congress dismissed with an expletive. ``We did not have to have a war in Ukraine`` -- whew: tell that to Putin. 0114 the early history of tape recording, invented by the Nazis. 0123 as trimulcasting asking for reports. No specific datestamp. 0132 should keep SW and not move everything to the cloud. Discussing hamfests missed and to be attended. Call from Mr Transistor. 0138 trimulcasting on 7, 6, 5 MHz. 0141 call from Niagara Falls, Ontario, reception in a hotel. Explains meterbands MUFs. Refers to 5G article by Wilner in Radio World. BCQ website may be hacked, beware. Number of AM stations in US declining but not by as much as you would think: lost 25 last year. 0158 invites Angela to pray but she hands it back to him.

It`s 250/28 watts, direxional E/W squished but sufficient signal to Enid, barely beyond the daytime fringe contour per radio-locator. I never hear it at night tho XEW hardly merits protexion any more. KSGL is split/personality between `Music You Remember` -- is that a satellite syndication?

Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Jan 27 at 0716: 558-2, 855, 1044, 1107, 1125-2. All of these correlate with SPAIN, at this late hour, and no NW Africans. Madrid sunrise: 0729. Also JJBBA carrier on 846, TP Kiritimati. Blitzortung shows none anywhere in or around North America now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA 9/kHz split MW carrier search, Jan 28 from 0704, not in the order tuned: 558-2, 774-2, 855-2, 882, 1044, 1521. Also 846 TP Kiritimati. At first 855 had one unusually strong signal, thought I might get some audio, but a few minutes later just two weakers beating. 1521 continues to be mysterious, as nothing but a 5 kW in Spain should be possible this late; no Africans listed. Others also likely Spain, with Canary alternatively on 882 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA split 9/kHz MW carrier search, Jan 29 at 0636, trying earlier than usual: 693, 774, 855, 1053, 1521. 693 probably BBC Radio 5 Live synchros almost 300 kW total; 1053 Talk Sport from UK, 500 kW altho also weaker Spaniards listed; 774 and 855 likely Spains as usual. Notably absent is 684, used to be 600 kW from Sevilla RNE1, but power cut since last year, or off? MWlist.org shows 24h at 150/100 kW, which ought to be detectable here if the other weaker ones are. As it`s Sunday, no TP signal on 846 from Kiritimati (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA 9/kHz split MW carrier search, Jan 30 at 0656: 855-2, 1044, 1089 kHz.

Trans-oceanic JBA 9/kHz split MW carrier search, Jan 31 at 0739: unusually, none at all heard: getting too late and/or high-latitude TA paths suppressed? and TP Kiritimati maybe off?

Glad to hear 684 unlike later scans, likely what`s left of Sevilla; which in the meantime I see is still routinely logged in Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA 9/kHz split MW carrier search, Feb 1 at 0725: 684, 837, 855-2, 1116-2, all likely Spain. Still no 846 TP Kiritimati; has anyone confirmed it lately?
