** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Tue Feb 24 at 2256, WRMI S9+30/40 concluding
relay of DW in English via WRN - which they refuse to provide
themselves on SW; 2300 tango music, multi-lingual RAE ID, more and
more music, no announcements in any language past 2325+. At least
there is no more DX olds in Portuguese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 11780 // 6180, Feb 25 at 0750, RNA announcing s/on of the
two SW frequencies, despite having been running for quite a while,
often by 0730. And right into token English, another ep about RNA`s
founding in March 1974, admittedly originally broadcast in March 2024.
Parque Rodeador became one of the largest radio sites anywhere and
Brasil`s first opportunity to reach the whole world. Barely into it

VA3KAH is located on Kah-She Island in Georgian Bay, Ontario. Four
continuous CW radio beacons are located on the island, on 44, 22, 12,

November to May. Thanks to its location far from shore in one of the
Great Lakes, Kah She Island is considered an exotic beacon location
and is highly prized by listeners from around the world. We try to
provide propagation information by operating a number of micro-power
to higher powered beacons on several bands. These include:

not right at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 24 at 2258, VOT direct reads S9/+10. but dead

** U S A [non]. Hi Glenn, on short notice --- we might to have to
cancel your 1730 UT outlet on Thursday. We had a promising enquiry
from a 12-year old group of radio maniacs, who want to get on the air
desperately on shortwave. We thought we let them a go for a test:
https://shortwaveradio.de/en/TalkMusic
Nothing for sure but we love to support youngsters. Just to let you
know. Show will be most probably in German language and the WhatsApp
link is NOT available for adults. I sort out any email for this
station for all DX-ers tomorrow. Cheers for now, Andy (Shortwave Radio
from Winsen on the river Aller, Germany), Feb 24)

** U S A. 9395, Feb 24 at 2300, this WRMI finally back on air, with
`Truth 2 Ponder` lamenting he doesn`t have hundreds of thousands of
followers like some you-tubers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Feb 25 at 2322, S9+20/30 of Portuguese, but not solid,
off the side, as World`s Last Chance Radio is suddenly and finally
back on WBCQ SuperStition after temporary ``bankruptcy?``. I have been
checking 9330 at least once a day (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15555 USB, Feb 24 at 1546, no signal from WJHR. In fact,
have not hit it in some weeks on random daytime bandscanning,
supposedly scheduled 1358-2200 per EiBi. So is it ever on the air?
When I did hear it, I wondered whether only tnx to a sporadic E
opening from this glorified ham station. Last report I find was in the
Dec 21, 2025 NASWA Flashsheet, from Cichorek-NJ, but omitting time and
date! Last time I logged it was Sept 26, 2025 until 2203*, but surely
heard since, but ignored. At that time, I also noted it had been
missing until then. Note occasionally has been on 15550 USB instead
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1090, Feb 25 at 2343-2346 UT, nothing direct via E/W
longwire except RCC talk about Pope, etc., S9+10, so it`s EWTN on KEXS
Excelsior Springs MO, no sign of KAAY Little Rock AR, which I have
been trying to catch powering down from 50 to 3.4 kW at LSS, but not
at 2345 in Feb? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 13830, Feb 25 at 1542, VR in Amharic, S9+5/25, and would
you believe it`s axually stronger here than Greenville Martí on
13820?! which is only S5/S9; and also exceeding 13845 WWCR. VR also
strong S9/+10 on // 15565.
These are supposedly aimed oppositely toward Ethiopia. No other
significant signals from Europe on either band (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1070 kHz, Feb 25 at 0703 UT, CBS news, could be KNX? But
KHMO Hannibal MO is also a CBS affil; fading down by 0706 when I want
to confirm whether Scott Jennings Show I heard before be coming from
KHMO. No answer, yet to my inquiry of the station. Sked still shows
Charlie Kirk, and most/all their other talkshows are far-right
extremists (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1550 kHz, Feb 25 at 0802 UT, ID starts with WO+
something. The only fit in NRC AM Log seems very unlikely, but: WOCC
Corydon IN U1 250/6 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

eventually mentioning RAE and pronouncing mail/website in English
letters. VG signal for some Chinese porteño in deep North America. Or

** U S A. ``Regarding the open carrier on 6938 -- a possible clue as
to what it might be. I was monitoring 43 metres last night and caught
an unid pirate on 6935 USB at 0251 UT. Fairly weak signal with music
and voice only occasionally breaking through the noise.

At 0303 I noticed a carrier on 6938 with a short bit of CW. At first I
thought this was related to the jamming cat and mouse game against
Band-Aid Radio that shifted between 6940 and 6960 between 0230 and
0330, but remembered that I usually do see this carrier there most
nights

I'm rubbish at trying to decode CW, and I think I was getting like
02XPYTR out of it -- but other ears might be better --- go to about
11:30 into the clip:

``Can play at 0.5 speed - it`s WO2XPY - looks like a USA experimental
callsign. Glenn``

``Thank you Glenn. According to this post:
https://groups.io/g/HDXCC/topic/112904029

`RCA Telecom has added a third transmission site to WO2XPY in West
Chicago. It comprises a 10 kW amplifier, three Yagi antennas including
this one, plus this log-periodic array.

“Grant of this application will serve the public interest because it
will allow RCA to determine maximum efficient use of HF spectrum as it
works toward developing a system for commercial use,” the company told
the FCC.

(FCC rules do not permit commercial shortwave data transmission to
foreign points. The Commission is still chewing on a Shortwave
Modernization Coalition petition to allocate some HF frequencies to
this purpose. See ERN #9.)

WO2XPY is authorized to use 14 bands between 6 and 29 MHz. Running
more than 246 kW ERP in 14.35‒14.99 MHz – just above the 20-meter
Amateur Radio band – it is “not capable of transmitting station
identification,” RCA told the FCC. The Commission waived the station
ID rule, as it typically does on request.` Tony``

``That carrier is often there and very strong in Masset. So strong
that I thought it was something local. Virtually always an OC only.

NOTE! I see that the WRMI System L skedgrid has just been updated as
of today! Feb 23, 2026, with a new airing of WOR: UT Friday 0030 on
5950. That will become Thursday 2330 once DST be imposed; just before

Georgia SDR.

17790, Feb 24 at 1544, JBA carrier direct, Romania instead of WRMI?
But 1702 into Maryland SDR, 17790 is on with gospel singing and
instrumentals, rather pleasant fill until gospel huxter near

it`s KJJQ, Volga SD, U4 500/500 watts, ``The Ranch``, address in
Brookings. Night pattern with notch to SW protecting Wichita, and
almost Enid, but major lobe to SSW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1070 kHz, Feb 24 at 0746 UT, `Scott Jennings show`. See
previous log connecting it to KNTH Houston, but not at this hour. In
the continued absence of KFTI Wichita, suspect it`s KHMO Hannibal MO,
IDed previously. But on its sked at 12-3 am CST is the Charlie Kirk
Show, and I understand that he is no longer available. KHMO is a Salem
affiliate, so perhaps Jennings has replaced Kirk but sked not yet
updated. There are a few other SRN affils on 1070 in NRC AM Log, all
less likely than KHMO. I`ve asked KHMO if it`s them (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** BRAZIL. 6180 // 11780, Mon Feb 23 at 0750, token English from RNA,
introduced as originally from March 2024 when RNA`s 50th anniversary
was celebrated, explaining how it came about. At first there were some
modulation dropouts if not the carriers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. Tim Hall, compiler of the IRCA Mexican Log, replies to my
590 unID: ``XEE turned off their AM last month.

XEGTO is believed to be silent. They were definitely silent from at
least 11/24 to 4/25, and I haven't seen any reports of them coming
back on the air yet.

XEPH should be // XEBS-1410, but I have never managed to log both of
them simultaneously. In the western states where I DX, XEBS is an easy
catch whereas XEPH is almost never heard. 73 Tim``

So by elimination that leaves ``590 XEPH CDMX México 25000 10000
Sabrosita 5-90 y 14-10, La Más Caliente, Sabrosita Digital`` as listed
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 640 kHz, Feb 23 at 0600, notes of Mex NA audible here, but
little chance of overcoming KWPN OK et al. IRCA Mexican Log shows
three: XELOVE/XEJUA Chih, XENQ Hdgo, XETAM Tama. plus another with CP
but had tested, XECCCN Zac. Local midnight is a great time to spot
Mexicans at NA time, but without further clues, non-IDable. NA now
also on 540, 550, 610, 690, 760 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 770, Feb 23 at 0557, Spanish, all about Kenia [¿Quenia?],
0558 full ID for XERFR, 9-70 AM, Grupo Fórmula, 50 mil watts`` and
national anthem. Ahem, network relays should suppress specific IDs for
originating stations. This is really XEACH in Monterrey NL, 25/1 kW,
two more XEs on 770 unlikely to make it here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 1570, UT Mon Feb 23 at 0604, XERF playing Coahuila anthem,
full ID for 1570 and 103.9 including street address, phone numbers,
toll-free inside Mexico, 800-700-1570. Lyrix:

One can also hear it via websearches (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 335 MCW kHz, Feb 23 at 0727, BK, 25-watt NDB at Brookings
SD; more readable tuned to 333.5 USB; such sesquikHz offset tuning is
often helpful depending on QRM situations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5000, Feb 23 at 0614, WWV with Doppler flutter, indicating
very unusual disturbed condx on normally clear blaster, which it still
is on 2500. WWV reported: ``The estimated planetary K-index at 0600
UTC on 23 February was 4.67. Space weather for the past 24 hours has
been minor. Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level occurred``(Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5935, Feb 23 at 0242, WWCR-2 is finally back on air, long
after WWCR-3 resumed on 13845/4840; first reported by Ron Trotto at
2353 UT Feb 22. So 7490/12160/9350 will also be on in daytime. Usual
huge signal under normal conditions. It`s nothing but TUN/DGS/PMS
between 0100 & 1300. Yes, 7490 is on and blasting S9+40 at 1517 check,
and after 1600 on weaker 12160 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4840, Feb 23 at 0611, WWCR-3 gospel huxter explaining his SW
schedule in detail; missed most of it, but now about ``3215``, at 1-2
CST, for S.C. Johnson, www.mygospelhighway11.com and lots of other
platforms. This is for the Church of Jesus Christ of Apostolic Faith,
in Philadelphia - clueless that 3215 has been off the air for many
months. That website shows full schedule with many other programs on
this ``radio`` station without a frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. ``Glenn, KLBJ 590 has been a 5/1 kW U2 since the mid-1940s
when it was KTBC. The station had a CP for 5 kW days and 350 watts
nights, both nondirectional, moving to a new, separate tower at the
KVET 1300 site in north Austin, but that expired unbuilt in November
2025.

On January 30 the station filed for an STA to operate with 250 watts
nondirectional at night, pending repairs to the night DA towers. They
are likely still operating with that at night, which is why Glenn was
hearing KLBJ in Enid. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED [non]. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Feb 23 at
0555: complete bandscan at 9-kHz intervals tuning USB at 1 kHz below
TA frequencies: not a trace. Everything is against this: more and more
Euros off the air, or reduced power, notably Spain; incessant local
noise level; uncoöperative propagation; inadequate antennas? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
