USA ... near-freezing conditions in Florida US state.
Thanks Roger and Jeff,
yes, normaly align remoted SDR units
for fq measurement reason by
WWV, WWVH, WBCQ 9330, exact frequency access
or various WRMI 5800, 5850, 5950, 9955, 15770 etc. etc. too
and had noticed this morning, around 08 UTC time,
that all WRMI Okeechobee outlets ... had left the air.
CUBA RHC Bauta in English checked today Sunday Jan 30 at 07.26 UT,
6060even kHz exact fq, and much clean audio,
no buzz at all today to state,
S=9 noted in eastern states like NY, NJ, MA, also \\ at
9699.996 kHz channel in 31 meterband, also from Bauta site
(ex6145/6165 kHz in B20 season), much clean audio too at 07.28 UT.
But on western US tate parts CA / WA, or Alberta-CAN, Masset BC-CAN
the Cuban and Florida signals much poor and tiny this Sunday,
only S=3 to S=6.
The antenna in Masset BC province pointed to East Asia ?
The Japanese Nikkei R1 Nagara signal on 6055 kHz arrived
with S=9+15dB instead, path over Alaska and the Pacific at 07.40 UT.
When tuned-in and checked again both RHCuba Bauta signals at about
08.18 UT, heard RHC in Esperanto language in progress,
the half hour program only on Sundays at 08.00 and 08.30 UT,
S=9+10dB again noted in Rochester, NY state, and \\
9699.996 kHz - Bauta in 31 mb - same strength too - and
surprise, surprise
an extra treat for the North America and Europe listener
of the Bauta transmissions:
empty signal carriers appeared still on air on both 6060 and 9700v,
between 08.30 UT - and 22 minutes longer, until switch-off exact
at 08.52:30 UT
much late - ended the sleep of the RadioCuba local Bauta technician.
[selected SDR options, span 12.5 kHz RBW 15.3 Hertz]

Power is out at WRMI! At approximately 0745 UTC Sunday 30 January, we
lost all electrical power at the WRMI transmitter site in Okeechobee,
Florida. This is the reason that all transmitters and our Internet
stream are off the air. Florida Power & Light is dispatching a team to
our site to try to restore power as soon as possible.
The power outage is caused by the near-freezing conditions at our site
tonight, which is a very unusual situation here in South Central Florida.

An exciting catch, given the current political situtation:
(Not an uncommon type of message actually, but right now nobody wants to hear
rockets firing in the waters between Russia and Ukraine! And if you want to

These can?t be connected a reciever. They are inductively coupled. There
are construction articles for these online. I?ve copied Gary, the creator

Hi Paul,
I know they are not commercially available. I am interested in building one
myself. All the Youtube videos I have watched (about 15 of them) don't show
any significant construction details. I am wondering if they can be made to
work in the 137, 183 and 475 kHz ham bands and the LF NDB bands. And the
videos I've seen show an FSL antenna that is just one coil with coupling to
an AM receiver accomplished by proximity. How would I connect one to an SDR
receiver that covers this LF range?

** CANADA. 328 MCW kHz, Jan 30 at 0719 UT, dash and YTL, 1000 watt ND
beacon at Big Trout Lake, Ontario (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6940 USB, Jan 29 at 2303, surprised to hear a pirate
in Dutch, commercials? S7-S8 and surely intracontinental. 2305 jingle
as --- something Radio, music. 2312 playing ``Downtown`` by Petula
Clark, in English. Then I notice a stronger pirate on 6935, but when
back on 6940 at 2318, it`s off. These say it`s Sky Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,92273.0.html
and Big Badfish Al quotes this from somewhere: ``Sky Radio is a Dutch
commercial radio station playing non-stop Adult Contemporary pop
music, owned by Talpa Holding. The target audience is men and women
between 25 and 54 years of age. It is programmed according to the AC
format`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6935 USB, Jan 29 at 2306, S9+5 hard rock and omodist
= overmodulated and distorted, yet does not QRM 6940 Sky Radio as I
had hit first on a downtune. 2318 SSTV; 2319 live? DJ still distorted
says ``Imagine that``, and ``Alice? Radio``. Drama about Mars lander
leads into another song; 2323 another Alice Radio ID. Well, it`s
really OUTHOUSE Radio per all these; enunciate!

with three noisy SSTV captures, a pierced tongue outstuck, a privy,
and a full-bearded guy (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 29 at 2302, no signal from VOT direct. Unknown if
it might have come on later. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2123 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday January 30 at 0053 the 0030 on WRMI 7730, S9+12 into Knoxville
SDR.
Also confirmed starting at 0445 UT Sun Jan 30 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
S9+15 into nearby SDR but with multi-pitched very fast robotic CW QRM
-- must be another 160m A1 contest encroaching on this A3 broadcast.
Also confirmed Sunday January 30 at 1350 the 1330 on WMRI Europe, via
Channel 292 Germany 9670, S9+20 into UTwente reading +7 Hz, modulation
surges up and down a bit, but receiving artifact? Also checked Carlow,
Ireland SDR at 1355, S7-S9 and not surging, +6 Hz carrier offset. Both
have lite ACI from music on 9665, presumably CRI Russian via x-site
rather than Korea North. I happened to awaken an hour earlier than I
would have preferred. Not knowing this, tnx also to Alan Roe,
Teddington UK: ``WOR 2123 confirmed on WMRI Europe Sun 1330 UT on
9670``. Where is Teddington? ``a suburb in south-west London in the
London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. In 2021, Teddington was named
as the best place to live in London by The Sunday Times. Historically
in Middlesex, Teddington is situated on a long meander of the Thames
between Hampton Wick and Strawberry Hill, Twickenham. Wikipedia``

** U S A. 5850, UT Sun Jan 30 at 0101, excellent classical music show
`Encore` has started on this WRMI; while `Texas Radio Shortwave` had
started on 5950 this week to play 14 songs from SXSW festival - but I
have to prioritize classical. Beyond me why TRSW would choose a time
up against not only Encore but The Giant Jukebox, and TOUTA, the
Saturday evening music-glut hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. (5085), UT Sun Jan 30 at 0047, `Theater Organ Under the
Arch` is already underway on WTWW-2 webcast. Must have started way
earlier than usual? Since it`s chopped off without any formal closing
at 0059 for Bible verse, CQ, WTWW canned ID treating our national
anthem as a produxion jingle, and then a ham radio show. Something`s
always loco at Lebanon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Prompted by announcements preceding and following `Weekend
Radio`, webcast at 0300 & 0400 UT January 30: classical WCLV Cleveland
OH will soon be changing from 104.9 to 90.3; this is because of a
merger of sorts with WKSU at Kent State, and realigning those
stations; some years ago WCLV lost its original better frequency, I
believe it was 90.3, and had to move to 104.9 where the power can be
only 6 kW ERP. 90.3 has been occupied by another Ideastream station,
47 kW, WCPN with NPR news/talk programming, and WCLV banished to HD2
on that frequency. WKSU originates on 89.7.
>From a detailed press release at
https://www.ideastream.org/about/press-releases/ideastream-public-media-and-wksu-public-radio-to-enter-into-public-service-operating-agreement
``Between January 1 and April 1, 2022, the following changes are
expected to take place:
WKSU will become the region?s NPR news and information station, with
repeater stations in Ashland, Mansfield, New Philadelphia, Norwalk,
Thompson and Wooster continuing to serve their local markets.
Ideastream Public Media will reformat 104.9 FM to serve an additional
repeater station for WKSU programming, bolstering coverage in the
Cleveland area. The call letters associated with 104.9 FM will change
from WCLV to WCPN.
Those who love the classical programming provided by WCLV at 104.9 FM
will have access to that programming at the new WCLV at 90.3 FM.
There, they can continue to enjoy locally hosted performances by local
artists and ensembles, including The Cleveland Orchestra, Apollo?s
Fire and L?s Delices, along with student and faculty ensembles from
the Cleveland Institute of Music, Oberlin Conservatory, Baldwin
Wallace Conservatory and Cleveland State University. Reflecting the
intent to serve its new expanded coverage area, 90.3 FM programming
will spotlight more performances by musicians in Akron and Kent as
well...`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 12000- CW, Jan 30 at 1552, letter Z sent over and over,
JBA fading in and out; unsure if some other letter or number
interspersed. First time noted despite bandscanning across here every
day. One of those Russian one-letter beacons? I have not deliberately
sought any of them out. Other letters on other frequencies, but not Z,
have been logged by Harold Frodge, MARE Tipsheet. They are never on
exact even frequencies. My Z was slightly on the minus side but too
weak to measure (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
