Glenn Hauser logs February 26-27, 2022

** CHINA. CNR1 WOOB jammer search, Feb 27 at 0022: 13130 S4-S6 with flutter; 13020 JBA Chinese. NO others detected below 15, 14, 13 or 11 MHz, but some suspicious inside 22m band, not trying to sort them out from legits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5040, Feb 27 at 0018, S9+25 of dead air in English from RHC. At 0019 other frequencies in music all // presumably Spanish service: 13740 S9+5, 11760, 11860 JBM S9/+15. By 0046, 5040 is modulating but // same plus 9650, so Spanish not English on both 5040 & 13740. Somethings` always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5990, Feb 27 at 0041, CRI relay in Spanish is S9+35/45 but just barely modulated. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 9590, Feb 27 at 0034 poor in Latin American Spanish with soft background music. Not a bit of Chinese accent, just like CRI English which sounds as if it`s American - until you hear what they are saying. This does mention China. Scheduled 2300-0257 for S America via Kashgar, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** THAILAND. 13750, Feb 27 at 0020, HSK9 in English to N America, S4-S7 with heavy flutter. Seldom if ever listenable here: too far west for the ENAm beam, too far east for the WNAm? Grimesland would do a lot better, duh, than the USAGM Udon Thani site (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Feb 26 at 2337 dipping into the VOT English Saturday broadcast, which is not off the air, VG via UTwente with a recipe; but TRT`s AVC surges annoying background hum during pauses. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. 2341 Turkish Cuisine; 2347 multi-lingual ID loop filler. Off in time for weekly Sunday The Mighty KBC from 2400 via Nauen, Germany ex-East; over there a bit of QRM from the ChiCom in East Turkistan but probably not so much over here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 12888.5 CW, Feb 27 at 0024, VVV marker from KPH with QSX frequencies. VG standout signal from California, with hardly anything else left on this marine band. Maybe Korea South but not heard now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. I`m told the Friday morning airing of WORLD OF RADIO on WRMI 9955, which was missing Feb 25 at 1530, will resume after DST starts, March 18 at 1430 UT instead.

WORLD OF RADIO 2127 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday February 27 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, S9+25/30 direct but not ``solid`` sounding.

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, USA (Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** U S A. (5085), UT Sun Feb 27 after 0100, WTWW-2 $tereo webcast of TOUTA, but music at tune in is only mono; ends at 0150, into rock. `Encore` missing at 0100 from WRMI System F on 5850 & 7780 due to some mishap, so default to `TOUTA` no problem except I`m also missing TRSW blues shows on 5950 in the Saturday evening music glut. Better luck we hope for next `Encore` UT Monday 0300 on 5950 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. +6100-6130+, Feb 27 at 0044, WWCR is splattering more than 15 kHz either side of S9+50 6115. Something`s noxious in Nashville.

Not to mention America`s most obnoxious SW broadcaster, Alex Jones, about whom CNN has been promoting this:

CNN Special Report CNNHD - Sun, 2/27, 9:00 PM [CST] 1 hr
"The Alex Jones Story: Megaphone for Conspiracy"
New, 2/27/2022, News, Topical, Current Events
CNN's Drew Griffin examines the rise of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, drawing on exclusive footage and interviews with former employees and followers to track how his rhetoric moved from the fringes to the mainstream of American politics`` --- Mainstream? Let`s not concede that to him! Original time and known repeats, here strictly UT dates and times: Mon Feb 28 at 0300 & 0700, Sat March 5 at 0200 --- maybe: all subject to bumping for Breaking News. I wonder if the show will ever even mention SW? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Feb 27 at 0320, no signal from WRNO into Missouri SDR. I kept intending to recheck since first noticed absent Feb 18 at 0722, and I can`t find any reports of 7505 since (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6017.10, Feb 27 at 0042, JBA carrier, not a local birdie. Probably that Colombian pirate, as in EiBi but not Aoki: ``6017 2230-0615 irr CLM Organ. Radial El Prado S CLM`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6920-, Feb 27 at 0015, only pirate activity is JBA music slightly on low side, signature of R. Pushka (Rifle), the Russian ethnic pirate. Slightly better at 0045, S6 of undermodulated music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9560.4, Feb 27 at 0032, JBA talk in Asian? language but then disappears. Unseems spur out of strong 9565 Martí, and no match on 9569.6. Sked per Aoki on 9560 until 0030 is BBC English via Singapore; and at 00-01 CRI English via Beijing 572: neither seems likely. But wait: EiBi says the BBC language is Burmese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
