Glenn Hauser logs January 29, 2022

** ANTARCTICA. 15476 RCUSB, Jan 29 circa 1450 UT, no LRA36 signal into Pardinho, Brasil SDR this Saturday as usual while it continues to appear on Wednesdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 6660, Jan 29 at 0155, CHU-like pips, but with uteblatt QRM and cannot make out an ID before top of next minute. Second harmonic of 3330 is often reported by Harold Frodge, better positioned in Michigan, and I keep seeking it, but need to continue checking this WOOB frequency oftener. Remember when their ex-frequency 7335 was exactly half of 14670? Now 15700 would be the spot (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ETHIOPIA [non]. 15400, Sat Jan 29 at 1614 JBA signal into Kenya SDR, even less into Kuwait, but scheduled now at 1600-1629 is a new, or reactivated clandestine which must not be reaching target effectively, as discussed in the WOR iog:

Arthur Pozner, near NYC, Wednesday Jan 26 at 1610 UT: ``[WOR] Unknown program on 15400 kHz at 16:00 UTC --- Not listed, seems to be heavily jammed. Sounds to my ears as one of the Ethiopian languages``

Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, 1643 UT:
``Language is Afan Oromo Mon-Wed, Fri, Sat probably via Galbeni from NEXUS IRRS SW from January 21. Registered today in HFCC Database``

Arthur Pozner at 1644: ``ID as "IRRS Milano". Music interval from Carmen (Toreador).``

Ivo, Observer, Bulgaria:
``ROMANIA New clandestine broadcast of NEXUS IBA IRRS Shortwave via RADIOCOM Galbeni:
1600-1629 on 15400 GAL 300 kW / 140 deg to EaAf Afan Oromo Mon-Wed/Fri/Sat from January 21
1600-1629 on 15400 MIL 150 kW / 135 deg to EaAf Afan Oromo Mon-Wed/Fri/Sat in HFCC is wrong

Weak/poor signal of this unknown clandestine broadcast via SDR Tambov Russia on January 26``

IRRS had already transmitted them, circa summer 2020 til spring 2021, from Kostinbrod. Seems these guys have found some new money...``

The NEXUS program schedule does show this on Mon, Tue, Fri, not on Wed or Thu; Sat & Sun refuse to load (Glenn Hauser, Jan 29, WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, Jan 29 at 1643, REE is yet again in dead air, S7-S9 into Maryland SDR. Recheck at 2022, OFF the air while the other three frequencies are good to very good: 11940, 11685, 9690. Something`s always nonsensical at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 6125, Jan 29 at 0423, VOT English now on the squealy transmitter, unlike the previous emission at 23 UT Jan 28 on 5960. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 338 MCW kHz, Jan 29 at 0644 UT, RYN, 400 watt ND beacon at Tucson / Ryan AZ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 700 kHz, Jan 29 at 0700-0705+ UT, I`m checking WLW exactly 24 hours after the deadair newshole, but it keeps modulating tonight with ``Queen City`` local news rather than ABC. CCI under from a music station. Should that be ``Sin-city``? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Jan 29 at 0429: 738, 837, 1089, 1107 --- and 1665 kHz. Where Carlos Gonçalves, Portugal has reported numerous pirates from Holland, Greece and Balkans, but also all over the X-band. Probably something closer I get (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search Jan 29 at 0638: 603, 684, 837-2, 909, 999, 1044, 1089, 1107-2, 1215 kHz. Axually logged from top down. 603 is unusual, but at this late hour more likely lower-powered Spain than Romania, Cyprus, Oman (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 830 kHz, Jan 29 at 1845 UT, I`m making a low-noon MW bandscan just after local mean noon at 1832; on caradio by Box 1684, not much unusual on frequencies with low enough noise level, but here there is a JBA talk signal and a SAH from a second station. Sky- or ground-wave or a mixture? Main one is presumably WCCO. The other could be in WY, LA or TN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4030 AM, Jan 29 at 0237, JBA carrier registers S9 but so does the noise level. Ball Smacker Radio was reported here exactly one week before. And also tonight: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,92219.0.html I guess now her regular weekly Friday-night-at-8-pm-CT schedule, ex-6960 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6920- AM, Jan 29 at 0235, JBA carrier presumed pirate; nonesuch reported at HFU (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6925 USB, Jan 29 at 0158-0228*, S9 big-band-era songs, instrumental or crooners, continuous segués with no announcements until chopped off mid-song. At 0201, duet ``Don`t Know Why I Love You Like I Do``; 0226 ``Ordinary People``. More pirate logs as unID just before and after I was hearing it:
