** BRAZIL. 9666.012v, Feb 19 at 2310, Voz Missionária S6-S8 with song presumably praiseworthy and then at 2313, ID in English! Claiming frequencies are 9665, 5940 and 11750 from RVM Radio. Tnx for the English, but they are woefully misinformed: NEVER on 9665 exactly nor 5940 --- It`s always off-minus, but now a JBA carrier in huge BS splash from 5935 WWCR. And hasn`t been on 11750 for YEARS. It was already deleted from WRTH 2018, maybe earlier. 11750 now occupied only by RHC 11760 splash (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, Feb 19 at 1921, RHC is S9 of dead air. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9535, Feb 19 at 2323, RHC is S9 of dead air; while 9640 is OK. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 6185.703V, Feb 19 at 0433, XEPPM is S9+10/20 and just barely modulated; someone had reported no modulation at all, which it might as well be, totally useless (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 960, Feb 9 at 1900 UT, quick ToH ID from KGWA Enid, putting insignificant 100.9 translator first, and ``from the Ladusau-Evans studios`` --- what?? KGWA has sold naming rights of their studio to a local mortuary --- either that or they have axually moved into the funeral home. How apropos, just in time for deadbeat Fox ``News`` and Rush. BTW someone from Williams Broadcasting is presenting a CCTV seminar February 21 at 1930-2030 UT in the campus building of NWOSU Enid on entrepreneurship (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. ``Brad, Something very strange last night on 90.1, for at least half an hour before and after 1 a.m. --- Brazilian popular music, no announcements (tho I may have missed something at top of hour), nice but certainly not classical WCPE --- was KUCO plugged into a wrong satellite feed? Back to classical when I awoke briefly and checked at 5:45. Regards, Glenn Hauser, Enid``
That`s about KUCO, 0700 and 1145 UT Feb 19; asking manager Brad Ferguson about it, he replies:
``Hi Glenn, WCPE went into their emergency log last night, so something failed somewhere in their chain. We have an emergency log too, but it's classical. Go figure! BF``
Strange. This shows nothing out of ordinary around 2 am ET: https://theclassicalstation.org/playing_wed.shtml (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 19 at 2319 and 2348 chex, another night with NO signal from VOT English to us. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 417 kHz, Feb 19 at 0728 UT, ND beacon copied several times as ``dit-dit, dit-dit-dah-dah``. That second one is not a letter in our alfabet, but in the Russian as that ``yu`` letter looking like a conjoined IO. Looking at the dxinfocenter and classaxe references on 417 and vicinity, I think it must be 25-watt IY in Charles City, Iowa, which I have copied several times before, but now miskeyed just one dah off from Y, which is dah-dit-dah-dah (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 420 kHz, Feb 19 at 0730, ND beacons FQ and PK mixing; and when tuned to 418-USB I hear only FQ. Both 25 watts, FQ is in Fairmont, Minnesota, and PK is Olathe - Herbb, Kansas. BTW, I don`t try to report signal strength of NDBs as they are almost always JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5332-CW, Feb 19 at 0436, CQ DE KI5AL K with several repetitions, seems slowly hand-keyed, easy copy. I never can remember the exact discrete frequencies forming the so-called ``60 meter`` hamband, but this must be one of them. ARRL.org shows
Jett, Herbert A, KI5AL, Seguin, TX 78155. And his profile at https://www.qrz.com/lookup/ki5al shows he is 74, a ham less than a year and only started CW a few months ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 13852.062, Feb 19 at 1502, JBA spur from something, can it be RHC? NO, I barely make a match with Radio Martí audio on 13820, which is VG and well above the jamming. However there is a bit of jamming splat out to here. This is nothing like the RHC spurs which are huge distorted blobs --- not today! --- but rather a very weak signal with OK modulation. OCB Grimesland is showing Bauta how to make spurs!
Then I go looking for more and sure do find them: this one is 32.062 kHz plus 13820, so how about minus? There it is: 13787.942 measured independently which would be minus 32.058 kHz, close enough. These are axually second order, since I then find plus and minus ~16 kHz, and multiples of that, not measured precisely: 13836, 13868, 13884, 13900; and 13804, 13772, 13756, 13740. At 1552 I do measure one of them:; 13836.026.
13852 etc., Feb 19 at 1920 recheck, JBA spur carriers still detectable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2021 monitoring: couldn`t check Wed Feb 19 at 2100 on WRMI 7780 or 2200 on WBCQ 7490v; anybody hear them?
Confirmed UT Thu Feb 20 at 0100 on WRMI 7780 -- only poor via UTwente SDR.

** U S A. 15770, Feb 19 at 1913, poor signal from SMTV via WRMI, only once, no echo, during list of languages utilized. 5800 not echoing either circa 2320 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
