** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Feb 10 at 2300, LRA36 is on again, tnx to advance notice from Adrián Korol of RAE via Manuel Méndez. My favorite Argentine SDR is offline, so I bring up another one with a rather noisy signal, but 2301 s/on M&W chatting. It`s quite distorted too and hard to understand, maybe fault of rx not tx? 2327 I try Brasília and find it just as bad, so transmitter fault. Too painful to keep listening. By 0000 Feb 11 modulation improved but now someone is on a lofi phone line. 0013 into lofi music, but still mostly talk with some distortion; very rapid and colloquial conversation, rather than broadcast-quality speech with clarity and comprehension in mind. 0029 check direct: audible at S4 about the same as noise level. Argentine SDR also has intermittent high noise cutting on and off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Feb 11 at 0100*, LRA36 off exactly as scheduled, concluded from last report (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 300 kHz MCW, Feb 14 at 0746, dash and YIV, 500-watt NDB at Island Lake, Manitoba, <54N/<95W, JBA vs the still hi local noise level. First copied as YIW but must have been YIV (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 9330, Feb 8 at 0727, digiblaaps alternating with YL SS 5-digit spy numbers, clearly underneath WBCQ/WLCR adding up to S9+45. This longtime collision is back as the Cuban spy transmissions have recently resumed, sharing RHC transmitters. The 07 UT broadcast had been scheduled on alternate days, or exactly per EiBi: 0654-0750 on days 1357 = M/W/F/Sundays; Aoki as days 1246 = Sun/M/W/F --- but this is Thursday! Cuba was on 9330 long before WBCQ picked it. While my local line noise level is S9+ on lower bands, above 9 MHz it`s only S2/S3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2229) ** CUBA [and non]. 9330, Fri Feb 9 at 0736, Spy numbers with digiblaaps audible again under WBCQ/WLCR, S9+30, this time part of M/W/F/Sun ``schedule`` unlike 24 hours ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. Wolfgang Bueschel replies to my reports of spy numbers revived on 9330 vs WBCQ: ``9330.000 even kHz nice most modern Chinese transmitter looking of BBEF (Beijing Broadcast Equipment Factory) type, audio signal of S=9+10dB up to +20dB, underneath US religious private WBCQ, from Cuban Spanish SPY number service, MOST LIKELY via Made in Chinese tx site RadioCuba Bauta, NOT FROM BEJUCAL - old ancient USSR 50 kW unit. 07.10 UT on Febr 14. y73 de wolfie df5sx wwdxc topnews`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, Sun Feb 11 at 0757, this RHC is unusually still on; S9/+20 vs line noise level of S9+30 but undermodulated and have trouble recognizing language but probably English. 0800 into weekly Esperanto as I do recognize theme and a few words. Uncopied this time, but they always announce 6100 as the 08 hours frequency, where it was for longtime but 6100 totally off the air for months now. Something`s always wrong at RHC. And now there is also QRDRM! noise from 6000-6005-6010, requiring LSB tuning of 6000 to hear anything at all. RHC should really be on 6100 for this, even for half an hour per week, but that would make too much sense and be too much trouble. Esperanto is lucky to be on *any* RHC at this hour. See FRANCE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 6190-6195-6200, Feb 9 at 0733, DRM noise again from TDF, S9+35 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 6000-6005-6010, Feb 11 at 0800 as I am trying to monitor RHC Esperanto on 6000, QRDRM noise ACI to it; see CUBA. Another test from TDF, which lately had been on +6195+ at 0730-0800 but not now. Unknown whether 6195 abandoned or just QSYed at 0800. TDF DRM at 0800-0900 on 6005 is already in EiBi and drmrx.org but not Aoki. HFCC shows 100 kW at 350 degrees from ISS, i.e. into N Atlantic, Arctic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 6190-6195-6200, Feb 12 at 0749, S9+35 DRM noise, so TDF still active at 0730-0800 before QSY to 6000-6005-6010 at 0800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** INTERNATIONAL WATERS [non?]. 4251 kHz, Feb 14 at 0732, CW over & over, nothing but NJDM.

Still not acknowledged by KUCO in skedgrid nor in alfabetical program list. I search it out, to much more info and access to episodes: https://www.interlochenpublicradio.org/gameplay https://exchange.prx.org/series/39230-gameplay This was once on the KUCO sked during an evening waking hour before the massive programming shuffle a few months ago. Still undiscovered, what other secret program occupy the previous hour, Sat 3-4 am CST = 09-10 UT. Another recent unexpected change. Lane Whitesell`s post-Met unnamed vocal fill-music show has been reduced by an hour, ending Sat at 4 pm = 22 UT, with 22-23 UT now occupied by `Footlight Parade` an hour earlier than before with 23-24 UT now containing `Dinner and a Movie`, more cinemusic which I hear for the first time today, but whence? On Feb 10, Met was shorter than usual ending at 1950 UT after love-duets for Valentine`s Day, so Lane still had plenty of time to fill. Another2 change I had not noticed before but does show on sked: `Classical Guitar Alive` Saturday at 14-15 UT = 8-9 am CT, while `Performance Oklahoma` replay has shifted an hour later to 9-11 am CT = 15-17 UT; axually usually more like a sesquihour, but allows for variable lengths. Original airing is at 7 pm CT Thursdays = 01 UT Fridays. I would like to think that the latening results from a request I made months ago that 8 am was too early on a weekend. Since Kimberly Powell resigned a year ago, the new host has been relying more on recordings of UCO faculty members` own performances, rather than live events - that`s OK if there aren`t enough for a new liver every week. I find his announcing style annoyingly stilted, sorry; and he also needs some foreign language study. Note that despite its huge roster of programs, publicradiofan.com still has NO listings for `Gameplay`, `Reel Music`, nor `Dinner and a Movie`! Searching on the last title leads to loads of hits, all about a cooking TV show on TBS, revived last year, surely something else! Adding radio to the search gets it: out of KCME Colorado Springs: https://exchange.prx.org/series/34434-dinner-and-a-movie (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. I sent this to Matt Rogers, host of `Reel Music`, i.e. cinematic, which is on KUCO 90.1 Fridays at 2 pm and Saturdays at 11 am CT = Thu 20 & Sat 17 UT: ``Enough snackbar --- Matt, Thanks for Reel Music, which I always listen to on KUCO, sometimes twice. While the vintage snackbar announcements were cute the first time, may I please ask you to phase them out? We listen to public radio to avoid hard-sell commercials! While these are all in fun, they do clash severely with the rest of the program. Why not have a contemporary hi-fi, soft-sell, perhaps female, voice record exactly the same texts and run those for a while? Regards, (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK``, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 17 = virtual 17, K17JN-D, Enid`s only local TV signal but certainly no local origination!

All the lower virtual 30s trace to RF 29 KTUZ Shawnee/OKC. So it`s time for another survey of what`s really on K17JN-D, circa 0430 UT Feb 11.

Also confirmed UT Monday February 12 from 0401.3 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.93, S9/+5 into NH SDR, fortunately almost over by 0430 when severe ACI hits from Russian on 6165: that`s NHK via Nauen, Germany at 0430-0450 only. HFCC shows that`s 125 kW at 85 degrees, so why such a bigsig way over here? Missed checking Mon Feb 12 at 0930 on SW Radio, Germany day frequency 6160, since I`m always ZZZ. Anyone hear it? Also confirmed Monday February 12 from 2031.3 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002, S9+10/15 into UTwente, as preceding ADDX show in German runs slightly over, mentioning Bryan Clark [NZ].

Thanks this week to our friend Frank in Stockton, lower Alabama for some cash and says ``Dear Mr Hauser, Thank you for your program. Shortwave has been a source of great enjoyment and education for me. Greetings and best wishes``, preferably by MO or check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17790, Thu Feb 8 at 2015, guitar strumming rather repetitious but good for napping, until 2045 some vocal praisesong start on WRMI Radio Africa Network (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Pre- `AAAWWW` WBCQ chex into NH SDR, Feb 10 at 0046: 3265 OFF. 5130.273 ATATT. 6150.933 TOMBS. 7489.951 FKB. 9330.000v WLCR. 0100 start of show monitored on 5130+ which is not quite ATATT. New ep since he refers to Tuck`s Putin interview. Always fiddling with Angela`s mike at start. Talking about his antique autos. Spotchex later, politix, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, Feb 9 at 2257, WTWW-2 already on as BBB is outroing `Truth2Ponder`, from his Ancient Word Radio, so *2200 now? 2300 switch to SFAW/PPP from Laporte CO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9475, Feb 10 at 1937, George McClintock calls for a radiocheck as he has this WTWW frequency running. It`s rather weak and fading here, maybe S6 before shutting off, while neighbor 9980 WWCR is inblasting, S9+30. Says running about 40 kW on 9475, maybe less favorable antenna than WWCR. Also says waiting on one part to get #1 transmitter going again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1590, Feb 13 at 0140 UT, rather urgent talk in Russian, not Ukrainian. The only likely possibility is WCGO Evanston IL, which per Wikipedia does have Russian on weekday afternoons. Via tunein.com, reaching own website, which includes a ``1950 AM`` blunder, Radio NVC | Радио Народная Волна Чикаго | Northbrook, IL ... https://www.radionvc.com shows on into the evening tomorrow but won`t display now Feb 12 CST as my computer is on UT: ``НОВОСТИ - СВОБОДА Tue, Feb 13 - Wed, Feb 14, 2024 7:00pm-12:00pm``. At 0146 could be a commercial in Russian; however by 0230 the same semi-dominant signal is carrying songs in Spanish. I find the webstream, http://ice23.securenetsystems.net/WCGO and indeed it`s Spanish now as ``Ambiente Clásico`` as I already logged direct some months ago. It sure would be nice to see an accurate program/language full WCGO schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. (101.5), Wed Feb 14 from 0700 UT, webcast of KSFR Santa Fe NM, one of my favorite stations, starts `The Third Floor`, vocal, choral music, sacred and secular, I enjoy but too late. KSFR info: ``Wednesdays Midnight-2:00 am [MST] Bill Cromwell is your host and listening companion for two hours of Vocal and Choral Classical Repertoire each week on The Third Floor Presents. Enjoy motets, masses, cantatas, choruses, lieder, arias, songs, and more from around the world and across the centuries. For more The Third Floor Presents, visit https://classicalthirdfloor.org That also leads to audibility on demand; out of Fort Loudon, PA: https://exchange.prx.org/series/44990-the-third-floor-presents-vocal-choral-classical-mu Provenance of title remains a mystery. I previously reported about this show when it was on KUCO, which did not last long: see under OKLAHOMA: https://www.w4uvh.net/ghlogs_2022_1208_1214.txt A few minutes into it this week on KSFR stream, jarringly interrupted by a few seconds of African? drumming, automation screwup? It also keeps cutting short the closing announcement of the preceding show `Map Is Not Territory`. I have notified The Invisible Man, Mark Kuechle about this. I guess he is voice-tracking, not really `live` there, altho I think he is really at KSFR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Feb 12 at 0751, song at S8, R. Vanuatu reactivated after missing a couple nights as Manuel Méndez also notes; and Ron Howard found it on no known frequency Feb 11 at 0705 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VATICAN. 6035, Feb 13 at 1920, Italradio special for World Radio Day, VG into UTwente, French segment about Marconi. 1932-1948 switch to English, something about Marconi in 1903y; with IDs in Italian and QSL offers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 422 MCW kHz, Feb 9 at 0758 UT, JBA NDB hard to copy but something like PO? Only N American anywhere around in both listings is PCW, 423 kHz, 25 watts from Port Clinton OH (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Feb 11 at 0252 UT: 801, 855-2, 1044. The beat on 855 is 2.4 Hz, likely two from Spain; mwoffsets shows 7 RNE outlets each on a slightly different frequency. I see a couple 2.2 Hz apart. Plus two more in the master list. 801 is unusual, but a het on 800 KQCV OK. There are a bunch of medium-powers in Spain, 10/25 kW. For 100+ kW, only Iran and Ethiopia, unlikely. 1044 also likely Spain. Considerable local line noise level only these could overcome even as JBA carriers; otherwise surely would have found more (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 4750, Feb 12 at 0743, as I happen to be starting a 60mb bandscan, rapid Morse code CODAR alfanumeric ID fires; unprepared, did not copy it, but probably same one previously traced in this area; and should be audible over entire swirsh-range, not just on 4750; anyway, reconfirms time as :43 past the hours, and believed to be icosaminutely also at :03 and :23 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 5051.0, Feb 12 at 0745 carrier, seems to be constant, also as het to 5050 earlier when WRMI Legends is on. Others hearing it? A utility protest objector? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
