Germany: Several changes at Radio Mi Amigo:
1) Radio Mi Amigo International usually broadcasts 0900-1800 h on 6085 kHz via Shortwave Service Kall.
I noted a second frequency 6030 kHz on the air. It is parallel to 6085 kHz, but registered with the HFCC with a different abbreviation at http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=SWS. To my knowledge, this frequency was used for special programmes both from Luxembourg and Kall.
2) Looking at https://www.radiomiamigo.international/english/news.html, I see that there is a second presenter in French after Bruno Hantson on their line up.
DJ's: Eric Coullet
Eric Coullet has been passionate about radio from an early age and has been captivated by the pop music and radio shows of legendary French Radio Luxembourg DJs such as Jean Bernard Hebey and Georges Lang since his childhood.
With the arrival of the first free FM stations in France in the early 1980s, he embarked on his own radio adventure and could be heard on several stations in the thriving FM pirate scene of Paris.
After a 10-year hiatus, he returned to Internet radio in 2002. Eric went on to produce a daily column on 80s music, movies and TV series. After that, he produced and presented a large number of themed radio shows such as: 'Classic Rock Station', 'Platinum Collector', 'Pop Rock Collection', which were broadcast on more than 120 stations.
In 2015 he launched 'Seven Eighties', a program dedicated to the pop, rock and funk sound of the 70s and 80s. Featuring exclusively English-language pop, it was an instant success in France for a still growing audience.
International Radio Mi Amigo has enjoyed an increasing interest from the French-speaking regions for some time now. In 2022, Bruno Hantson persuaded his friend Eric to also make 'Seven Eighties' for Radio Mi Amigo International, with mainly music from the 70s and 80s.
We are thrilled Eric joined us and proudly present Mi Amigo International's 2nd French-language show 'Seven Eighties', which can be heard Fridays at 2 p.m. and Sundays at 7 p.m. [CET].
Welcome Eric Coullet!

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Feb 4 at 2321, VOT English is on the air, S9+20 into UTwente, VG modulation level -- except also with that horrible squeal, during music break, then intro some Analysis, 2325 multi-lingual ID loop filler which takes a couple minutes. Squeal is constant pitch during pauses, but varies when `modulated`. Enough of that. Try 9690 Spain at 2320 which is S9+25 into Virginia SDR, but it`s a repeat of JC`s interview with musician J L Montón (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2124 monitoring: confirmed Friday February 4 from 1915.4 on IRRS via AM Italia 1323 kHz, and via Bulgaria 7290. Tuned via nearby Noale SDR, 1323 has QRM from Romania HS in German; 7290 via UTwente has considerable ACI from 7295 CGTN Radio in English via East Turkistan; standard denunciation. At 1917 I try Carlow, Ireland SDR, which gets 7290 better at S6-S7, best tuning SAL or AMN modes. 14580 harmonic not audible. Both 1323 and 7290 to WOR completion at 1944. Tuning in earlier:
At 1854, 1323 is crescendo Ravel`s Bolero, not sure which station, but I fear it will be interruptus before climax, and indeed I never hear that by 1900. At 1859 there is CCI from other music, IRRS ID mix with Hungarian concluding hour from Romania.
At *1858 on 7290, S-meter jumps a unit when Bulgacarrier oncomes. As usual, no IRRS ID or sign-on but cut on modulation a bit before 1901 with `Feature Story News` already started, leading with Russia expelling Deutsche Welle. And now heard on both asynchronously. 7290 already with QRM as above; 14580 not audible. 1323 with CCI in German from Romania. Not on 918 or 207 kHz. 1908 music fill on both before 1915 IRRS ID and WOR.
Also confirmed WOR 2124 repeat Feb 4 at 2130 on 1323, now VG S9+12 with no QRM at Noale SDR. I guess Romania signs off at 2000 or 2100.
Also confirmed UT Saturday February 5 at 0230 on WRMI 9395, S7-S6 into VE4KRK Winnipeg SDR, fading down to S5-S4 by 0245; so switch to KB0FX SDR in Warrenton MO, good at S8-S9. I picke these because of NNW azimuth. Next:

** U S A. 4790-, Feb 5 at 0015, WBCQ with old tunes, soon announcing as Behaviour Night, and at 0058 closing Sir Scratchy mentions 4790 so a special edition. That`s normally on 7490 at 2200-2300 Fridays: this is part of a 2300-0100 test this week for the music and other entertainment shows planned as a regular 2-hour block from March, ``curated`` by Uncle Bill; but haven`t decided exactly which hours will propagate best. It`s S9+10 but noisy here. From tomorrow for a week the test hours will be 0000-0200 UT. The trouble is, spring storm noise level will be constantly increasing, and darkness will be latening, so an ideal? time in Feb will not necessarily apply in March or April or beyond. Furthermore, what`s ideal will depend very much on listeners` distance and direxion from Monticello.
Walt Salmaniw just posted to the WOR iog: ``4790 is a really poor frequency choice on the west coast due to the very loud CODAR interference across that part of the spectrum including 4790. They should move 100 to 200 kHz higher. Heard this afternoon via Masset SDR. Would have been fair/good except for CODAR. 73, Walt`` Here`s an idea: WBCQ should puts its best programming on 250/500 kW 9330, not its worst (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. (7490.1v), UT Sat Feb 5 at 0100, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`, new this week after one show thrice in January: coyly they don`t explain why they missed two weeks, just ``busy``. Says it was unusually hot in FL today, 86F. As always they interrupt and yell over each other which is not pleasant for the bylistener. Usual far-right digs such as referring to President Biden as ``the puppet``. ``Rachel Maddow scares me`` --- good, that says a lot more about you than her. ``Whoopie Goldberg is ugly``. ``Don`t care if you`re purple``. WBCQ should double its rates, losing money. Good news: some new programs coming, a new music show Sat at 7-8 PET on 7490. Already carrying `The Power Hour`, M-F at 11 am to 1 pm ET on 6160. Or did he mean 11 pm to 1 am?? If it were in 24-hour UT there would be no confusion! I suspect that`s the original Power Hour with Joyce Riley scheduled around noon by iHeart, not the podcast of the same name with Adrienne somebody?
More and more sunspots are being seen with their scope. Last night at 7:30 PET, 7490 & 9330 vanished from their FL monitors: it was a CME. Trimulcasting now on 7490, 6160, 4790. I do a quick check of 4790 on remote and confirm it`s still on, offset slightly minus. Then talks about the 4790 tests and at 0123 Uncle Bill calls in about them. Will feature pre-Nazi jazz, music from Finland, Brazil. 0130 reading an article about radio ad sales going up in the industry. 0137 about old music being popular among younger people today. Fantasizes that AM on SW will become *the* medium for new music. 0145 James Careless` Radio World article reviewing a couple of portable SW radios. 0147 something about Canada. World Radio Day Feb 13 should be marked by some special programs, but no details. (BTW I`ve been simulviewing the ChiCom Olympic opening ceremonies.) 0155 reads pirate radio logs from new Free Radio Weekly just in, edited by Larry Will. When edited by an alternate, it`s never out till later on Saturday. One item is axually credited to Mr Hauser. Some e-mailed reception reports. 0159 prayer, 0201 JIP Hal Turner late as usual. My best wishes to fellow AAAWWW monitor John Carver, who has been sidelined/delayed by some health issues (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation has issued a statement [3 February 2022] announcing that it is closing the operations of Germany's international broadcaster DW in the country.
The statement reads:
As part of the response measures announced on February 2 in response to the unfriendly actions of the Federal Republic of Germany to ban satellite and other broadcasting of the German-language television channel RT DE, the Russian side intends to implement the first stage of response measures:
- closure of the correspondent office of the German television and radio company Deutsche Welle in the Russian Federation;
- cancellation of accreditation of all employees of the Russian Bureau of Deutsche Welle;
- termination of satellite and other broadcasting of the Deutsche Welle television and radio company on the territory of the Russian Federation;
- initiation by the competent authorities of the Russian Federation of the procedure for considering the issue of recognising Deutsche Welle as a foreign mass media outlet acting as a foreign agent;
- launching the process of forming a list of representatives of state and public structures of Germany involved in restricting the broadcasting of RT DE and otherwise putting pressure on the
Russian media operator, who will be banned from entering the territory of the Russian Federation. The list is not expected to be published.
Information on the next steps in the response will be published in a timely manner.
The Russian move comes the day after the German Commission on Licensing and Supervision (ZAK) decreed that RT must cease broadcasting German-language programmes saying it "does not have the necessary broadcasting licence". RT DE acquired a licence from the Serbian media regulator on 17 December 2021. Both Germany and Serbia are signatories to the European Convention on Transfrontier Television. Licences granted by one ECTT member state provide the legal grounds for transmission and reception of a licensed service in another ECTT-ratified state. (AIB media industry briefing | February 2022)

Cordiales 73
** CUBA. 6100, Feb 4 at 0710, RHC with dead air in English; also 6060 still on with humbuzz; 9700 is on but JBA, probably also DA; while 5040 is VG in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 257 MCW kHz, Feb 4 at 0717 UT, JYR, 25 watt ND beacon at York, Nebraska. Whenever I log this, brings back memories of my total solar eclipse expedition to that area, even tho I was not tuning it at that time.
341 MCW kHz, Feb 4 at 0715 UT, in the continued absence of EI Enid, 25-watt OIN Oberlin KS is the usual sole NDB occupant, but now it`s mixing with seldom-heard DNI, 25 watts at Sherman-Denison TX. Even when EI was operative it was so weak that OIN could also be heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2124 monitoring: confirmed second airing, UT Friday February 4 at 0337 the 0330 on WRMI 5985, aimed south so as usual here JBA vs hi storm and line noise; but at 0343 also JBA to Argentina SDR, S5-S7 to Knoxville but line noise; S4-S6 but less noisy to Maryland; JBA S7-S9 to Missouri SDR; Colombia SDR still receiving nothing; TWR Bonaire still missing; best I can find at 0348 turns out to be the J68HZ SDR in St. Lucia, S7-S9 and less noise than elsewhere. Put on some sandals?
Also confirmed Friday February 4 at 1530 on WRMI 9955, good S8-S9 but seems undermodulated, no jamming audible direct. Maybe my file is undermodulated, but stations ought to boost it to their own level.
BTW, the first airing at 0130 on 5850 was a few seconds short as final edit had not been completed, but my closing was still overridden by WRMI ID break. BTW2, upload to WRMI System F server was completed with only 30 seconds to spare before 0130 with unexpectedly slow ftp transfer, whew. Hot off the `press`! Next:

** VATICAN [and non]. 13830, Feb 4 at 1535, VR Amharic from own SMG site in extraterritorial ITALY, as I pointed out before can be amazingly strong here in the wrong direxion, as typical for this station and can`t help but wonder if their antenna aiming is 180 degrees off! Or at least not restricting radiation off the back. However, yesterday with poor propagation it was not equivalent to 13820 Cuban radio war; today it`s only S5-S8 and with heavy flutter. And also a short/long path echo.
Last time, Jan 10, I computed that the long path at surface level measures 31289 km, resulting in an echo delay of about 1/13 second. This time I inspect my NGS Globe to track the long path: along the west coast of the Red Sea, out of Africa from northern Somalia, across the vast Indian Ocean, way south of Australia, south even of NZ across Auckland Island, across the vast Pacific near Tubuas Islands (as labeled, ever hear of those before? Wikipedia spells Tubuai or Tupua`i), Tuamotu Archipelago, i.e. near Tahiti, Marquesas Islands, Revilla Gigedo, the Mexican Islands which seem to have no other funxion, La Paz, western Texas, to Enid. The VR // 11935 is stronger S9/+10 without flutter.
Further bandscan on 9, 7 and 6 MHz finds all the Chinese and other east Asian signals with Doppler flutter, i.e. unstable frequencies as processed by the disturbed ionosphere. Even NZ 7390 not near any polar path has some flutter at 1545. WWV reports at 1500 Feb 4, K-index of 4 but no storms past or future (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15475.00 USB, Feb 4 at 0343, checking the LU1HLW SDR in Argentina for WOR on 5985, I find it first tuned to 15475.98 USB for LRA36 which I or someone must have last employed it for --- and I am hearing some off-frequency talk! Turns out to be INTRUDING Spanish 2-way in the middle of their summer night, probably nothing to do with Antarctica; also have heard 2-way here before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
This report dispatched at 1750 UT February 4
We had another topsy-turvy week, with lots of good sunspots, but coronal mass ejections or CMEs taking their toll on the ionosphere as well. While the solar flux index did a little better than predicted, with numbers in the 120-130 range, there was bad news on the solar-terrestrial front.
The Kp index was regularly hitting four and even five on Thursday, thanks to CMEs, which depressed MUFs considerably. But things could have been a lot worse. NASA issued a major storm warning after the CME on the 29th of January, with newspapers predicting that visible aurora would be seen across the UK. But, in the end, this amounted to very little and the warning was cancelled.
Despite all this geomagnetic activity there were pearls to be found. Contacts with Hong Kong, China and Australia were all reported by members of the 10 metre UK Net Facebook group. As Jack, G8DX wrote on the group: “What an end to the month. ZL, JA, XV, BY, BV, HS, YB on FT8 and 30-plus VKs on phone and a few on CW.”
And bear in mind that this solar cycle has got a lot further to go, with a predicted sunspot number of more than 100 at its peak in 2025/2026. To give you some idea of what that means, this week it was 65.
Next week there may be some good news. NOAA predicts that the solar flux index could rise to 125, and perhaps even higher. As always, we can probably expect unsettled geomagnetic conditions, with the Kp index predicted to hit four on the 10th.
As always, keep an eye on solarham.com for a more accurate day-to-day update as things can change very quickly.
In terms of propagation highlights, look for openings to Sydney, Australia on 10 metres around 8-10am. Short-path openings to Perth may peak a little later.
VHF and up:
The present spell of unsettled weather is likely to continue for a while, into the first part of next week, but before that, there are signs of the next high building over southern areas. This will bring a return of Tropo conditions to many areas, although a further low will track across northern Britain towards the end of the week.
As we hinted last week, the high pressure produced some good Tropo DX down across Biscay to Spain and France on 2m through to 23cm. The situation next week is looking similar, so a good week to get some CW and SSB onto 70cm for the UK Activity Contest on Tuesday and see what happens on Thursday for the 6m UKAC.
The other modes to check are, like last week, the pre-dawn random meteor scatter options plus a chance aurora in view of the unsettled solar-terrestrial conditions at the moment.
Moon declination is positive and rising all week, so Moon windows are long and peak Moon elevation high. Path losses are also high as we approach apogee on Friday.
For VHF EMEers, 144MHz sky noise is low to moderate throughout the week, peaking at 500 Kelvin on Friday. (rsgb.org)
