Immediately into a song `Pilot of the Airwaves`. 0106 international SW radio is ``fancy AM``. 0109 jumps on ``National Socialist Public Radio`` and CPB for allegedly running advertising despite government funding, as FCC under new chairman is investigating. {Axually taxpayer/govt funding is a very minor part of their funding, and the ``ads`` are underwriting credits.} 0115 musing about AI taking over everything including broadcasting -- except SW, WBCQ! Lauds 4CX35,000 tetrode tube which can run 50 to 100 kW. 0127 datestamp as 31 January YOOL 2025, from Studio 9 in Deland of Fla, hot 82F today. 0130 Ian wants to hear a song called ``Shortwave Radio``. 0141 song request from Patricia, can`t find it. 0147 request for ``Mexican Radio`` song. 0152 email from east Alaska pro-Drumpf and more of that. 0154 Nyack request. 0158 praying. 0159 Bible is owner`s manual. 0200 axually over probably in time for Hal Turner opening on 7490, tho I`m listening to 9330 go back to WLCR PP (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5890, Jan 30 at 0737, this WWCR-4 is on with TOMBS, running a dekasecond behind // 5850 WRMI. 5890 is supposedly overnight 06-13 UT only on Sat & Sun but this is Thu (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15610, Jan 30 at 1625, S8/9 almost steady open carrier direct. Suspect WEWN making comeback. Had been missing for about a year! EiBi also has CHiCom jamming vs SOH until 1600. I asked Glen Tapley: ``Glen, At 1625 UT today I have a strong S9 and steady open carrier on 15610. Is that WEWN, about to come back? How about the other transmitter which had been on 12050? Regards, Glenn Hauser`` -- and he replies: ``Hi Glenn, Yes it is WEWN. Should notice 12050 soon, but no definite ETA. Glen`` At 1640, Maine SDR also has S9+10/20 on 15610.005, with a slight whine, not sure whether transmitted. Still on at 1951 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2280) ** U S A. 15610.005, Jan 31 at 1644, WEWN on again with open carrier except for low level hi-pitched whine, audible on more than one remote, which also agree on the +5 Hz offset: S9+3 into Maryland SDR; S7/S9 into UTwente. Still no signal yet on 12050 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15150.000, Feb 2 at 1546, S8/9+20 of dead air from WMLK. Still dead at 1658, S9+5/15 into UTwente, calibrated vs WWV 15000, until cutoff at 1701* -- just as scheduled, 1200-1700. Maybe soon to deaden likewise on 17525? Nominal *1730 but nothing by 1746 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1280, Feb 3 at 0800 UT, ID for 107.5 and news. Reverse lookup at WTFDA FM Database finds one 107.5 as a relay of 1280: WWTC Minneapolis MN on K298CO. Then checking NRC AM Log of 1280s: ditto, the only match. Unusually, WWTC is licensed for more night than day power, 10/15 kW. Radio-locator shows night pattern major lobe to NNE, several notches oppositely including one rather usward. https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=WWTC&service=AM&h=N Day pattern is similar: https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=WWTC&service=AM&h=D (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Feb 5 at 0700 and still 0709, NO signal from R. Vanuatu, nor on 9960 at 0657. Checking due to this report from Ron Howard: ``Hi Glenn - Radio Vanuatu remains silent through 0425 UT, Feb 5. Since Feb 2, have checked 2485, 3945, 5040, 7260 and 9960, with no results, via various Pacific Kiwi SDR remotes. So tonight I sent off an email. Quick reply from: Warren Robert, Manager Technical Services, But he only sent me the following: VBTC HF SCHEDULE FEBRUARY 2025 VILA Time    UTC  Frequency 0600-0700   1900  5040 0700-1000   2000  7260 1000-1800   2300  9960 1800-2400   0700  7260`` And different lineups for January and March as if changing every month. This appears to be aspirational (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VATICAN [non]. Continued from ROMANIA, which had heavy Doppler flutter on two 19mb signals: Yet Feb 2 at 1550, Vatican in Amharic on 15565 is loud & clear, no flutter, belying listings as SMG site which would be offtheback of thataway, instead of MADAGASCAR, coincidentally aimed thisaway. Latest HFCC Jan 30 still claims all 15565 VR broadcasts are from SMG. I don`t believe it. I have often observed about this and other VR transmissions to the SE have incredibly strong signals here to the NW if really out of SMG (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VATICAN [non?]. Re 15565, VR in Amharic at 1530, supposedly SMG site but incredibly strong way back here, Gianni Serra replies to my obs that MADAGASCAR relay would be more likely: ``--- According to Vatican Radio (VR) B24 schedules:   https://www.vaticannews.va/en/short-waves.html VR 15565 kHz 1530-1600 in Ethiopian programme (Amharic) is via Santa Maria di Galeria (SMG), Vatican (see schedules for Africa, as well as VR Downloadable Global Short Wave Frequencies Chart) --- I monitored on 15565, 02.04.2025 1525-1550 with s/on at 1526:44”, VR Interval Signal loop, Laudetur Iesus Christus and some announcements by man in German (presumed), music pause, and talk program by man in listed Amharic; heard with FM like audio, with always strong and steady signal in AM with aux audio filter (S9+25 of peak); certainly from SMG site. --- SMG site is in an area north-west from Roma, Italy, around 24 km -14.9 miles circa - as the crow flies from my home in south of Roma. 73, Gianni Serra`` Missing/deleted in NASWA Flashsheet was an extremely important aspect of my log of this, that at same time Feb 2, two ROMANIA frequencies on 19m, 15250 & 15370 were incredibly weak and with extreme Doppler flutter during disturbed propagation; how could those be over similar path from Europe while VR inbooms? OK, if it has to be SMG, that further bolsters my original / alternative explanation that VR is radiating at least equally off the back of their SE azimuth, or even has their azimuths reversed. Hard to dispute ``local`` quality reception in Roma, but note that if via MAD to the NW, would also be aiming back toward Italy, and USA beyond. More on this! From Terry Krueger, Niceville FL: ``13830, VATICAN, Vatican Radio, Santa Maria di Galeria, 1550. 26 JAN 2025. Amharic (listed) man, clear and fair. RV interval signal briefly at 1557. What happens to this tiny and equally landlocked extraterritorial Holy See property once Vatican Radio eventually shuts down? Retirement condos for Catholics?`` and: ``13830, MADAGASCAR, Vatican Radio, Talata-Volonodry, 1600 26 JAN 2025. Seamlessly up after Amharic via Santa Maria di Galaria ends and same level, supposedly in Swahili. Really via two sites?`` Unlike 15565, which is listed as SMG before and after 1600, // 13830 is listed as switching from SMG to Madagascar at 1600. More something really fishy here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VATICAN [and non]. Trying to unravel the true sites for VR Amharic at 1530 on 15565 & 13830, Feb 5: 15565 already on at 1528 with IS, but no 13830, which does not pop on until 1530. On two receivers direct, I confirm they are synchronized, so from same site, listed as SMG. Then I try to run TDOA direxion-finding on 15565, but don`t get it to guess at a ``likely`` location. Perhaps others can try and succeed. Could it be MADAGASCAR instead? Both are very bigsigs here in the wrong direxion from the target area, unless they are aimed back from MAD. One can also investigate signals in skip zones around SMG and MAD. Arezzo in N Italy, 168 km from SMG, gets 15565 with some echo, maybe backscatter. After 1600 they are both much weaker direct, but still seem synchro, while by then 13830 is allegedly switched from SMG to MAD, while 15565 allegedly remains SMG (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VENEZUELA. 4939.985, Feb 1 at 0221, checking Estación 4940 into Bonaire, S9/10 with ``nuestro país, lecciones de la historia colombiana``, which might imply it`s not in Venezuela, but am not convinced. Talking about the Nueva Granada era, which of course encompassed both present-day countries as well as Ecuador and Panamá. Programming has always had a strong Colombian connexion. Calibrated vs 5000.00000 WWV (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VENEZUELA. 4940 - 17 Hz = 4939.983, Feb 5 at 2356, S9/+10 into Bonaire SDR, man talking in strange language, must be native, with occasional Spanishish words like Jesucristo, uno, tres, past 2400 with no break or ID, 2405 to song in unknown language too. So it`s Estación 4940. Note that WRTH 2025 lists this station as in Rincón Hondo, Apure state, 1 kW, no callsign, R. La Montaña, not as Estación 4940. Previous DF led to somewhere in Apure state, and perhaps the exact town is authoritative, https://ie.toponavi.com/192748 but the Montaña name seems to have been that of a Colombian? program it was carrying in the early days, not an ID. Sometimes it`s on air all?-night past 0700, sometimes not. S American trop band stations are getting really scarce (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 216 kHz, Feb 5 at 0701 UT, JBA carrier from some NDB, unusual spot. RNA list shows only one anywhere: CO, `Epsom`, COncord NH, 0 watts = unknown power, last logged 2024-11-14. DXinfocentre.com agrees it`s the only one, 25 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
