** BRAZIL. 7399.988, Feb 16 at 0424, music at S7 into UTwente SDR; by 0513 it`s 7399.992. This had been quite a mystery for a few hours in the WOR iog. 7400 is a frequency `reserved` in HFCC for IRDR = International Radio for Disaster Relief, with Vatican site as placeholder like one other frequency in each band, possibly explaining why V of Turkey has shown up on 5910 and 9430? Hardly any announcements on 7400 but music recognized as Brazilian, and finally IDs heard as R Antares, which is a pirate in Pará state (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2178)
** BRAZIL. 5940.026, Feb 16 at 0756, JBA praise music //9665v. Incredibly, R Voz Missionária is almost on-frequency after years closer to 5938.

Kiribati: lucky to detect this vs high storm noise level from eastern OK, so no further MW or LW DXing tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5000.000v, Feb 16 at 0749, WWV S9+20/30 but with heavy Doppler flutter = unstable wobbling frequency as received: very unusual from nearby best night channel of WWV. But 2500 & 10000 also audible without the Dfl. WWV via email as of 0900: ``Solar-terrestrial indices for 15 February follow. Solar flux 174 and estimated planetary A-index 29. The estimated planetary K-index at 0900 UTC on 16 February was 5.00. Space weather for the past 24 hours has been minor. Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level occurred. Radio blackouts reaching the R1 level occurred. Space weather for the next 24 hours is predicted to be minor. Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level are expected.
