** BRAZIL [and non]. 6170, Jan 31 at 0730, JBA carrier from presumed R. Saturno. First time I have detected it since a few days ago it was reported reactivated here, ex-6150.
EiBi & Aoki, not yet up with it on 6170, indicate these windows when North Korea, Ascension, Philippines are NOT on 6170: 2050-0200, 0300-0500, 0530-1000. And disregarding R. Europa, Holland, lowpower possibly 24h; and Scandinavian Weekend Radio, Finland, at certain hours once almost every month, including Feb 3-4, ON at 22-14 & 18-22. Saturno was a rare newcomer to SW, not even making WRTH 2022 on 6150. It was first reported Oct 31, 2021 by Bryan Clark, NZ: a Belo Horizonte 92.3 FM station adding SW. Again tnx to Bryan who heard it on 6170 Jan 28, 2023, ex-6150 where heard on Jan 22, and Brazilians first reported 6170 on Jan 24. Further chex here needed! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 2598 USB, Jan 31 at 0737, marine weather by roboyl for Grand Banx area, S8. 2749 USB not on yet but at 0740 with more of same on weaker signal, i.e. first broadcasts of day from 2598, 3 kW VCP-4 at Placentia, Newfoundland; and 2749, 0.5 kW VCO Sydney, Nova Scotia. BTW, nowhere on the extensive dxinfocentre.com/mb roster are there any VCP-1, -2 of -3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, Jan 31 at 0732, RHC S9+10 with maybe a trace of modulation while all its 5, 6 and 10 MHz frequencies are off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KOREA NORTH. 9650, Jan 31 at 0735, S5 of choral music, no doubt VOK Japanese as scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MADAGASCAR. 17730, Jan 31 at 1622, S7/S9 algo JBM: listed is AWR in Marathi to India via Talata (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 31 at 0733, no signal from VON; was it on earlier today? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.000+, Jan 31 at *2259 carrier on over BBC Oman promo until its 2259.5*. Bit of music, dead air. 2300, 4+1 timesignal and Chinese! s/on of XJPBS Urumqi, no sign of VOT. XJPBS carrier may be on by 2300 but usually does not start modulating until about 2311. But VOT has come on late, S9+40 by next check 2307 with news in progress, on 5960.002+, both as measured by UTwente Synch. The + means constantly fluxuating in the hundredths of a Hz, not clear whether of the transmitters, receiver, or both. VOT continues well atop XJPBS as an undercurrent. 2314 `Review of the Turkish Press`, not in any depth as usual. 2316 song. 2320 `Weekly Commentary`, by a freelance journalist in Berlin whose name I cannot copy, read by the heavily-accented woman announcer, about anti-American sentiment in Germany, foot-dragging on aiding Ukraine with some faxions wanting to maintain close relations with Russia. Implies that it`s in US` interest to escalate the war! Closing with disclaimer about opinions, name again I cannot understand, and invites listeners to submit their own commentaries by email for possible broadcast. 2329 music. 2336 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2338 music. 2344 recipe for a pastry in `Turkey`s Geo-something Products`. 2346 multi-lingual ID filler reel *again*. 2348 music. 2353 s/off with full but jumbled English sked. 2354 IS. 2356 restart IS with German IDs interspersed. 0000 Feb 1, 5+1 timesignal, same pitch but final pip prolonged, and s/on German, into news. Finally cuts off at 0010 uncovering XJPBS. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 13565, Jan 31 at 1558, K6FRC, Patterson CA, 1.8 mW HIFER beacon is JBA with calls repeating, QRMing CODAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

Vanuatu is S8/S9 with drumming and announcements on 3 x 3945, while that and X 2 on 7890 not checked. As to be expected, NZ 13755 also with VG signal now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-oceanic JBA 9/kHz split MW carrier search, Jan 31 at 0739: unusually, none at all heard: getting too late and/or high-latitude TA paths suppressed? and TP Kiritimati maybe off?
