** AUSTRALIA. (5035), re C.A.R.N. not being heard on the Unique Radio stream after 1900 UT Sat Jan 22: Jen replies that I didn`t listen long enough beyond a music break, and provides a minute-by-minute rundown of the 2-hour show, mostly talk. In fact I did listen almost an hour; I replied,

``Jen, Great, but this is NOT what was on the stream I was getting from uniqueradio according to your instruxions to go there to access it. What about the `Sounds of Your Life` which was Tim`s own show I was hearing starting at 1957????? This was some other UR stream than the one you were on. You obviously do not understand that you need to publicize a direct link to your stream rather than having listeners hunt for it at UR website. Is your show available ondemand later? I guess this is it I haven`t tried to play yet: https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/uniqueradioaus 73,`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, 6100, 6060, 6000, 5040, UT Sun Jan 23 at 0703, all ``Cuban Five`` RHC frequencies are off already; boding ill for Esperanto at 0800. Wolfgang Buschel agrees they all went off by 0700/0701. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Sun Jan 23 at 1607, RHC Esperanto S9/+10 with humbuzz/distortion, // much weaker 15140. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Re 94.3 KLGB-LP Enid kaput, frequency open for translators of decent public radio stations: it`s not as if this is the only spot a new local signal could be insqueezed; I am sure there are others, but it`s proven as workable in Enid, so stations cannot excuse as nowhere to go. Another ex-translator channel long open is 93.1, which used to relay KIMY 93.9 Watonga gospel huxter. Finding one in the NCE band <92 MHz would be harder as it`s well cluttered with gospel huxters local and nearby with only one decent public radio signal, 91.7 KOSU from almost 100 km away.

100.9 in Enid once had plans -- APP or even CP? for a genuine LP community radio station backed by among others the emergency management honcho, but it came to naught, and KGWA nabbed the frequency for a tailwagger of its far-right extremist dog 960 talkshows.

Of course KUCO or KGOU can be heard streaming, and in fact I do so, but I am unapologetically advocating for real local public radio signals on our dials, in one of OK`s larger cities, while smaller ones like Woodward are way ahead of us, two vs zero, both to boot bigger than mere translators. Per 2020 census, Enid is ninth largest in OK, but it would be fourth if several suburbs of OKC and Tulsa were merged with their metros. Woodward is #38! (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SLOVENIA. 18118 USB, Jan 23 at 1515, CQ 17 from S57DX, quickly working K4OOH and W3DLD. Nice to hear something beyond N America on band. Previously logged Nov 16, 2020, on exactly same frequency, same hour. More info in logs before that on Nov 1 and 2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN [and non]. 11685, Jan 23 at 1608, REE still here toward Africa, VP compared to ME 12030 which is also better than `our` frequency, 9690. But there is also a JBA carrier on 11670, which may be why REE went back to 11685. What could that be? CNR1 jamming and/or VOA Tibetan via PHILIPPINES, but this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 198 MCW kHz, Jan 22 at 0813 UT, again tonight, DI_W, Dixon NC beacon is miskeying with a space inserted. A reply to my first report: ``Hi Glenn! DIW-198 has been reported miskeying for the past couple of weeks on ndblist@groups.io. Unless there’s some indication that a beacon’s miskeying will likely be a more or less permanent issue, from a NOTAM or some sort of maintenance report, such miskeying is not usually reported in the “notes” section of the RNA Signals List. Steve Howe, Saint Albans, VT`` --- well, seems to me anything amiss like that ought to be noted at least if it happen more than once! Date correct, skipped last time. Not audible checked circa 0700 UT Jan 23 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 341 MCW kHz, Jan 23 at 0653 UT, for the record, EI Enid is still off, so tuned to 341 USB, I do hear OIN, 25 watts from Oberlin KS. Also mixing with JA, which is really on 344, 400 watts from Jaxonvil FL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3370.5 USB, UT Sun Jan 23 at 0255, MARS net encountered on a downscan before I hit any 90mb broadcasters. NCS is 6TJ, in contact with HW, something about USB only and ham gear won`t do DSB. Then making a ``lightning round`` calling station after station from the roster, all with prefices missing, and each replying ``fully operational``: 63C?, 6JX, 6VG, 6BI, 6BD, 6OI, 6HW. Sez AFT6YD will be NCS tomorrow morning, evidently for the first time. This net designator is 6TX1, implying Texas? And are they all with AFT- prefices? Closing net by 0301, almost in time for Bob & Ray on `Weekend Radio` from WCLV. See my last report of this net, October 20, 2021 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2122 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday January 23 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, right after Bob Zanotti butts in with his name only in an repetitive automation glitch; S9+10 into Lubbock West Texas SDR, which at first was tuned to 326 Midland TX beacon MA -- which I also heard again direct at 0655 Jan 23.

Also confirmed on NEXUS/IBA webcast from about 0033.8 UT Sunday January 23 following `Feature Story News`; but the player stops several times, including just before 0100 so I can`t tell if WOR playback is still being chopped off unnecessarily.

Also confirmed UT Sunday January 23 from 0431 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+11 into nearby SDR.

Zzz, could not check 1330 Sunday on WMRI Europe via Germany 9670; did anyone hear it? Next:

2100 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 and/or 918-Italy & 207?

0130 UT Monday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0400vUT Monday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?]

** U S A. 5850, UT Sun Jan 23 at 0100-0200, `Encore` classical music on WRMI, VG into MO SDR. Since the repeat 26 hours later did not work out last week, I`m prioritizing it now this week, despite timeclash with `Theater Organ Under the Arch` on WTWW-2, which anyway had not started by 0100 but underway at a quick check 0113. On $tereo webcast I do catch the last few minutes 0200 until finished at 0206, back to gospel huxtering and rock (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, Jan 23 at 1601, S9/+10 of dead air from this WRMI; then JBM presumably SMTV. Still very undermodulated at 1940. If not boosted, this will be bad for `Memphis Weirdos` at 20-21, Prague at 21-22. Something`s odd at Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 830.12 approx., Jan 22 at 0816 UT, WCCO with JIMBO playback has a low audible heterodyne. Checked 18 hours later, not heard. What could it be, MWOffsets? Nothing further up than .0653 a couple Brazilians (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15367.5 USB, approx., Jan 23 at 1603, 2-way in Spanish INTRUDERS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1948 UT January 23
