Hauser
** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Fri Feb 20 at 2323, WRMI relay S9+50,
nothing but Argentine music, with canned multi-lingual ID reels
repeated several times, 2325, 2336, 2341, 2352. Never any `live`
announcements about the music or anything else, nor at closing, right
into WRMI ID at 2359; so we can`t know what single language this might
have been intended. The RAE gridblock at WRMI is totally wrong,
claiming it`s Portugués [sic] M-F 2300-0000 on 7570 & 9955 - NOT.
System D does show RAE on 9455, 2300-0000 Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri only in
Portugués [sic] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28480 USB, Feb 20 at 2319, PY3EW calling CQDX. QRZ.com:
``PY3EW Brazil flag Brazil, TED CAMARGO, LABRE/SP BUREAU PY2AA, P. BOX
79.473, SP 03089970, Brazil`` with lots of antenna, equipment photos
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28388 USB, Feb 20 at 2320, PU2KNM calling CQDX. QRZ.com:
``PU2KNM Brazil flag Brazil, CLAUDIO, RUA:PAULO NEDOPETALSKI 215
BAIRRO ALTO DA TENDA, APIAI, SP 18320000, Brazil`` with unID baby at
top of his page (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28419 USB, Feb 20 at 2320, PY2FZ calling CQDX. QRZ.com:
``PY2FZ Brazil flag Brazil, Helio "Bono" Bono, Avenida Antenor de
Almeida, 3-199, Condominio Chacara Odete, Bauru, SP 17047590, Brazil``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 401 MCW kHz, Feb 21 at 0724 UT, dash and YPO, 500-watt NDB
at Peawanuck ON, a new one for me? No, but last logged in 2021:

``401 MCW kHz, Nov 28 at 0734 UT, dash and YPO, 500 watt ND
beacon in Peawanuck, Ontario. First audible tuned to 402 USB where
mixing with HU Hutchinson KS really on 404. Only one logged before
offdozing tonight despite entire continent clear of any Blitzstorms.

YPO, logged a number of times since Dec 8, 2018 when I appended:
```love these colourful placenames. Wikipedia: ``Peawanuck is an
isolated Cree community in the Kenora District, Ontario, Canada. It is
located near the confluence of the Winisk and Shamattawa rivers, about
35 km from the Winisk River's end in Hudson Bay. Its population is
237````` --- that does not mean it is anywhere near Kenora in the SW
corner of the province!`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COSTA RICA. 28500 USB, Feb 20 at 2318, TI2JJP calling CQ10.
QRZ.com: ``TI2JJP Costa Rica flag Costa Rica, QSL Mgr EA7FTR, ING.
JOSE "TI9JJP" PASTORA, QSL Manager EA7FTR, PO Box 2048-2050 SAN PEDRO
MONTES OCA, Costa Rica`` So his QSL mgr is a double?

10m really hopping with lots more from Chile, Australia, Japan, not
logged; and were logged in this report: Brazil, New Zealand, qq.vv.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13650, Feb 20 at 2304, CRI relay music fill instead of
Portuguese, but pleasant listening, S9+10/20. As for RHC itself, at
2327 11760 is S9+20/30 of windhowl only, 11880 S9+20 of clean dead
air. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 28484 USB, Feb 20 at 2321, ZL1WN, Ross, working South
Dakota. QRZ.com: ``ZL1WN New Zealand flag New Zealand, ROSS BIGGAR,
210 Oroua Rd, R D 5, Palmerston North 4475, New Zealand`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PUERTO RICO. 391 MCW kHz, Feb 21 at 0721 UT, DDP, 1000-watt NDB at
San Juan, always checked in bandscans, but not always audible, clearly
now. Are there *any* others still active in the Caribbean area? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

direct S9/+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490, Feb 21 at 0100, WBCQ only here, opening `AAAWWW` with
``OK folx, before AI takes over the world and our minds ---``, exactly
the same start as last week, so it`s already being repeated without
any disclaimer. I figured it would be a rerun, since didn`t even
bother to turn on 5130 at *0055 for IS & ID loop. Not on 6160, 3265
either into Vermont remote. I logged same in detail on Feb 14, so
never mind now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Hauser
** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Thu Feb 19 at 2308, quick check for RAE via
WRMI, language? Spanish, but sounds like still R. Nacional instead
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 6180, Feb 20 at 0750, token English from RNA, indeed no
more samba-school stuff, but about RNA`s own early history, at Parque
Rodeador. Believe I have heard this before, so not really new. Was
started during military dictatorship 50 years ago in 1974, to counter
hostile Cold War broadcasts into Brasil in Portuguese, such as RHC.
Speakerine Nathália Mendes. 0755 into Spanish. This time much weaker
// on 11780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 300 MCW kHz, Feb 20 at 0748 UT, dash and YIV, 500-watt NDB
at Island Lake MB.

353 MCW kHz, Feb 20 at 0800 UT, dash and PG, 25-watt NDB at PortaGe la
Prairie MB. See also USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. 530 kHz, Fri Feb 20 at 0744 UT, South Asian
wailing music atop some other music, i.e. CHLO Brampton ON,
``multilingual``, per https://am530.ca/ `Punjabi Llehran` at 0400-0900
UT Fridays on the sked at the end of Thursday! NRC AM Log calls it
``Multicultural``, U1 1000/250 watts. The other being R. Enciclopedia,
Cuba, which had been reported missing lately; it`s *not* overflowing
with info, rather EZL music. Normally CMBQ is dominant on 530, 10 kW?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 15034 USB, Feb 19 at 2010, still no signal from CHR Trenton
Military into PEI SDR; nor several random chex later direct, nor at
night on 6754 USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 9660, Feb 20 at 1520, nice music S9 one of stronger signals.
CNR1 jammer and RTI listed until 1600, but only one signal heard and I
bet it`s the jammer from Kunming per Aoki. Many other JBA signals on
31mb, likely mostly China (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9710, Feb 20 at 0713, S5 of dead air; and 11760, S9 of dead
air with windhowl, somethings always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 9435, Feb 20 at 1517, VOK in stilted English about the
Workers` Party, yawn. Should be // on 11710 also to NAm, but too weak
to be sure. Also to Eu on 7570, 12015 per WRTH (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 275 MCW kHz, Feb 20 at 0747 UT, HIN, 25-watt NDB at Chadron
NE. Believe this one is new for me; some others rarely heard but
audible now:

305 MCW kHz, Feb 20 at 0749 UT, RO, 150 watts at ROswell NM has some
weaker CCI, one letter I copy from it is O. The only other 305 in USA
is OI, 25 watts at Sioux City IA.

365 MCW kHz, Feb 20 at 0800 UT, AA, 100-watt NDB at Fargo ND really
transriver in MN.

383 MCW kHz, Feb 20 at 0804 UT, CNP, 25-watt NDB at Chappell NE.

400 MCW kHz, Feb 20 at 0805 UT, AHQ, 25-watt NDB at wAHoo NE, and with
something else mixing. Seven others in NAm, closest being AI, 30 watts
in Ardmore OK, if it exist. See also CANADA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Feb 20 at 0710, R. Vanuatu, S7/S8 direct, talk
presumed Bislama (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1070, Feb 20 at 0734 UT, in continued absence of KFTI
Wichita, `Scott Jennings Show`. Broad search on show and frequency
lead to AM 1070 THE ANSWER in Houston TX, i.e. KNTH. Trouble is, on
their program sked, he`s at noon to 2 pm = 18-20 UT, with something
else at 1:34 am. KNTH gives the impression he`s local originating
there, but is probably on other Salem stations. No affiliate list to
be found on show website (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Hauser
** BRAZIL. 6180 & 11780 both S9+45, Feb 19 at 0750, token English from
RNA about scoring marching bands at Rio de Janeiro Carnaval, still
about samba schools; credits include AI as voice was unaccented; 0754
ID and into Spanish about same, says last episode in series! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. NDBeacons on MW, YTL, YXL, YKQ, YPL: see U S A [and non]

** COLOMBIA. Further discussion of the signal on 1100.28 which we have
been logging as HJAT, Caracol in Barranquilla, but could it be R.
Angulo, Cuba?

``Hi Glenn, I saw in WOR this about "Radio Angulo" that after
listening to the clip I heard "Caracol Radio". I asked Mauricio Molano
about his opinion. This is what he writes: 73 Fredrik Dourén,
Borlänge, Sweden``

``Hi Mauricio, I ask about your opinion of this tip. Caracol Radio has
been observed several times on 1100.28. On Jorma Mäntylä's clip there
is something that sound as "Radio Angulo" at 16 seconds, but in the
very end of the clip I also hear "la hora Caracol Radio". Could he say
something other than Radio Angulo? 73 Fredrik Dourén, Sweden``

``Hi Fredrik, I think it is a promo for some Caracol program. He don´t
says "Angulo" but "en vivo"... "radio en vivo"... "live radio". 73!
Mauricio Molano, Salamanca ESPAÑA - SPAIN`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. Some pertinent comments about the 9025 station we
are hearing, from Terry L. Krueger, NW Florida:

``9025 PIRATE/MUTANT (NORTH AMERICA) 'Presidential Pirate' 1528+ 9 FEB
2026 Tune in to JFK inaugural socialist quote snip "... ask not what
your country can do for you -- ask what you can do for your country."
Into FDR inauguration snip (but which one?) from radio reel archives
with fragments of a male radio host, seemingly the same loop they have
been reported as always playing. Full AM mode. Clear and fair, so
surely somewhere in the eastern US, or Caribbean at best. Abruptly off
at 1533. Reports have this generally popping on and off in the
1500-1700 range. Back up at 1558 with the same routine, abruptly off
about 1604. Back up 1613 but tuned out for when they went off. There
again at quick 1700 check. Almost as good as the old Yosemite Sam "I'm
gonna blow you to smithereens" mutant New Mexico government contractor
transmitter tests, but far less amusing. I suspect it's a similar
operation vs. a "true" pirate. The frequency alone stinks of
government.

9025 PIRATE/MUTANT (NORTH AMERICA) 'Presidential Pirate' 1956+ 12 FEB
2026 The usual JFK/FDR loop in AM mode, clear, fair. Off a minute
after tuning in. Back up 2007, off 2012. Back up 2022 at which point
I'm bored though equally fascinated with it, but bye-bye. Oops, 2037
back up with the radio not shut down. Occasional presumed USAF quick
digital bursts messages atop, not the same source.

9025 PIRATE/MUTANT (NORTH AMERICA) 'Presidential Pirate' 13 FEB 2026
1532 Abruptly up for a few minutes with the usual, back up at 1547.

9025 PIRATE/MUTANT (NORTH AMERICA) 'Presidential Pirate' 1513 17 FEB
2026. In progress with the usual JFK/FDR inaugural speech snips.
Backing up my theory, this is via a defense contractor, testing a
transmitter much like the New Mexico site did years ago with "Yosemite
Sam." Why? Because it was silent on the weekend of Saturday/Sunday
14/15 February, as well as Monday the 16th, a US Federal holiday
(Presidents' Day) when I'd suspect nobody was working.

9025 PIRATE/MUTANT (NORTH AMERICA) 'Presidential Pirate' 1556 18 FEB
2026. Abruptly up briefly with the standard speeches loop. Back on at
1616 briefly and 1643. Fair at best`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 2335)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1310 kHz, Feb 19 at 0820 UT, Kickin? Country 93.1? FM,
KGOV? sounded like. Nothing fits exactly in listings, and I was almost
asleep, but perhaps KGLB Glencoe MN, Classic Hit Country on 96.1
K241DE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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.

Also confirmed UT Wednesday February 18 at 0142 on WRMI 9395, S9+10
into Knoxville SDR.

Also confirmed Wednesday February 18 at 2030 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, 3975, S9/+20 into Bedford UK SDR, but not into UTwente.

Also confirmed Wednesday February 18 at 2200 on WBCQ 7490, S7/S9+10
into Georgia SDR. Next:

0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160.

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)
