** CANADA. 351 MCW kHz, Feb 8 at 0750 UT, dash and YKQ, only somewhat
unusual, 500 watt NDB from Waskaganish QC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 13570, Feb 8 at 0356, weak in English, not Spanish and not
// 9820 so not R. Martí; rather CRI in English to where else? Siberia,
per EiBi, from Xian site (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [non]. 9790, Feb 8 at 0353, CRI English S9+40/50 and somewhat
undermod via CUBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 9490, UT Sun Feb 8 at 0348, Spanish at S9+20/30
about Cuban history, but audio craps out and stix and repeats briefly,
then OK. Since R. República is not scheduled now, I ponder whether RHC
could have been smart enough to move onto its frequency? Naaah, too
busy broadcasting S9+20/30 of dead air on 9710; and S9+20 of windhowl
only on 11760; while 6000 is off. Back on 9490 at 0358, ``La Cuba que
Perdida[?]``. R. República ID with websites, and SW sked as: lunes a
jueves 9-10 pm, viernes a domingo 9-11 pm; and cut off at 0359* UT.
Translated from EST to UT days and times: Tue-Fri 02-03, Sat-Mon
02-04. WRMI skedgrid at the very end shows relays via Issoudun,
France, as of B24?! including R. República, at 02-03 UT on 9490 on
Sat/Sun/Mon only! Now what will happen March 8 with the imposition of
foolish DST in USA and consequently in the Running Dog of Yankee
Imperialism? Everything one UT hour earlier? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 9755, Feb 8 at 0352, La Voz Alegre, with phone or other
contact numbers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALAYSIA. 11885, Feb 8 circa 1530 JBA signal direct; at 1618 into
KFS NW antenna, S9+15 distorted music and 1620 Indonesian? = Malay
talk, mentions UNESCO, certainly not Vietnam in English as scheduled.
More music. Further test of new transmitter. Zach Liangas reported at
1637: ``Corr Rtm network feed change -- Heard now 16+ z the feeds are
now changed to 11885 $ abah v FM and 15295 Nasional FM. The *11885* khz
feed was a bit garbled with strong signal on the SW Au kSDR and
partially with low audio. !!Stop missing the forest for the trees,
Zacharias Liangas, Radio worker`` More of my monitoring thru KFS: 1700
``don`t be greedy`` PSA in English, ID as Sabah V FM, 92.7 in Kota
Kinabalu, ``experience variety``. Not sure of the word/letter between
Sabah and FM, but WRTH 2026 page 336 shows 92.7 in K.K. as Sabah VFM.
1755 UT still going long after local midnight, songs, 1759 PSA about
energy, food, exercise, ``experience variety, Sabah VFM`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 AM, Feb 8 at 0339, pirate music S9+10/20
direct. Strangely enough, no reports of this in HFU, rather nothing
after WDOG on 6925 USB from 0047 to 0134*. Also an open carrier on
6938, pirate or ute? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Feb 8 at 0340, pirate rock music, S9+10
direct. unIDs in HFU from 0334, but with SSTV labeled Scottie 2:

S9+20/30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9660.008, Sun Feb 8 at 1740, VOT English S9+25/30 into
UTwente, news by unfamiliar M voice with accent, and a bit distorted.
1741 into Cemre with her ``belovèd`` Letterbox: 1) Jamie Evans, K24GBB
[sic, can`t find a similar ham call], Georgia; needs Pmail address for
QSL. 2) Patrick Travers, Sheffield, England. 3) Jayanta
Chakraborty/Chakrabarty [I`m always confused about spelling and so is
he: spelt both ways on a single dxindia post! No doubt there is no
confusion in Bengali: ``Chakraborty Name Meaning Indian (West Bengal)
and Bangladeshi: Brahmin name, čokroborti in Bengali, from Sanskrit
čakravartī 'emperor', which means literally 'wheels rolling';
metaphorically, it denotes a ruler whose chariot wheels roll
everywhere without obstruction (čakra 'wheel' + vart- 'to roll').``],
has trouble hearing morning bc at 0400 on 6125, 7285 so listened to
live stream. 4) David Govan?, NB, Canada, heard Turkish at 21 on 5980.
5) Christian Holberg, Germany, German at 1830 on 5945. At 1751: 6)
finally, Anatoly Klepov, Moscow, incredibly detailed; he reports for
QSL every month. 1753 ending, QSL or eQSL available by preference.
1754.6 theme, 1755 multi-lingual ID filler reel (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Fri Feb 6 at 2300, RAE via WRMI
language-of-the-day is: Chinese! WRMI blue System D skedgrid still
claims Portuguese on M/T/Θ/F; while the separate unlettered but first
skedgrid for RAE claims at 2300 it`s on 7570, 9955 --- NOT. Somethings
odd at Okee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Feb 7 at 0712, JBA carrier, likely RHC; also JBACs on
15300, 15350; and 15770 which means WRMI is barely propagating, so
Cuba could too. Then at 0722, S9+25 of DA on 11760, or is it JBM? Has
to be RHC, and even more so at 0725 on 9710, S9+25 of deadair. At
1549, 15140 with S8/S9 of windhowl. At 2007 into Georgia SDR, only
15140 windhowl S9/+25, makes neat symmetrical patterns on the
waterfall. Somethings always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** HUNGARY. 28477 USB, Feb 7 at 1543, HA3NU calling QRZ contest and
working. QRZ.com: `HA3NU Hungary flag Hungary, LASZLO WEISZ, RÁKÓCZI
U. 23-25. B/2 FSZ. 2., SZEKSZARD H-7100, Hungary -- If you'd like to
know more from me, please visit my home page: www.ha3nu.hu `` One of
few signals on band. If this is propagating, maybe I can finally hear
the low-power Dane on 25800? NO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO [and non]. 800, Feb 7 at 0745, extremely distorted,
intonation recognizable as Spanish, atop KQCV OKC, as XEERG NL is
worse than ever (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 13755, Sat Feb 7 at 0714, S9/+20 ``Going Home``
soprano, song to the tune from Dvořák`s New World Symphony. Rare to
hear anything nearly classical on RNZP. Ends at 0719 but no
back-announcement and into non-classical. It`s the request show
allowing that to happen: ``8:08 PM. Saturday Night -- Saturday nights
on RNZ National is where Paul Brennan plays the songs YOU want to
hear. All music from 7 till midnight (RNZ)`` -
Here`s another version:
https://youtu.be/AAw78FOkhZs
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 93.1, dead air not heard lately in Enid as of Feb 7. I
have no reason to believe it`s a licensed station, hardly ever any
modulation, but WTFDA reports an FCC axion of Feb 6: ``K226BR 93.1
Enid OK move site to 36-25-14 97-52-30`` It had been a translator of
KIMY 93.9 Watonga gospel huxter, but gone for years. May a comeback be
pending? FCC LMS shows previous NAD83 Coördinates:
36 23' 48.1" N 97 52' 39.2" W -- so moving further north and slightly
westward from the decrepit Broadway Tower in downtown Enid. Google
Maps leads to 294 East Willow Road, which is about one block west of
the studio and towers of KCRC 1390. However, that would be slightly
east rather than west of the BW tower longitude (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 17755, Feb 6 at 2304, REE African frequency still totally
off the air, not even JBA carrier into Georgia SDR, while the others
are VG 17715, 12030, 9690. Some editor will not file this under 17755
where nothing was heard, despite that being the *total point* of this
observation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 6 at 2302, VOT English not off the air, S9+10/20
into Georgia SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2333 monitoring: confirmed Friday
February 6 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/20 into Georgia SDR.

not cut on, nor audible on 3265, 6160 into NH SDR: only 7490. At 0100
