SPAIN. 9690, Mon Feb 17 at 2300, token English from SNR, VG direct
here, almost VG on 17715, audible on 17755 and still no signal on
12030. No news, but interview about Spain locations substituting for
USA in filming Westerns, etc. Guest had a heavy accent (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
TURKEY [and non]. 5960.003+, Feb 17 at 2335, Voice of Turkey is
back! Long talk about something by familiar OM voice, but no
segment/theme ID when finished, rather 2345 ``with-you-every-hour``
promo, music; lite 6CI JBA underneath. 2350 ``always-by-your-side``
promo, music. 2353 s/off just like in the old days, as if it`s only
the 1330 broadcast on 13635. 2354 IS. 2356 pause and restart IS with
German IDs. Chopoff at 2359:50 just in time to avoid an extraneous
German broadcast, and uncover the Chinese CCI. Something`s always awry
at Ankara, erroneous at Emirler! Many tnx to WOR reporters for
heads-up:
At 2312 from John VORW Jurasek: ``[WOR] Voice of Turkey English
Service appears to have resumed! This requires further monitoring but
as of 2300 UTC, I was surprised to hear the traditional English
Service of the Voice of Turkey on 5960 kHz instead of the TRT World
Television Audio, with the male announcer explicitly introducing the
broadcast with a "We're back".
Program contents are once again the mixture of news reports as well as
cultural features and Turkish musical selections. I haven't seen any
formal announcements of the reversal so it's probably worth checking
5960 kHz for the rest of the hour and 6125 kHz at 0400 UTC. Just a
heads-up! All the best, John, Central Florida``
And Craig Tyson, Perth, Western Australia at 2339: ``[WOR] VOT English
programming heard today and not TRT World feed on 9610 2130-2224 when
transmission cut. Maybe they are back to their old English programming
format? Also repeated at 2300 on 5960``
I have mixed feelings about this; as for the past sesquimonth I felt
no urge or ``obligation`` to monitor Turkey vs Spain, TV news, et al.
at 2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 11670 // 11725, Tue Feb 18 at 1512, huge VG signals S9+20/30
from CNR1 jammers: per EiBi, 11670 vs RFA Mandarin via Philippines
this hour only; 11725 vs RFA Mandarin via Kuwait, this hour only on
Tue & Thu only. Aoki fails to * that 11725 be jammed. No trace of
victims here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5025, Feb 18 at 0730, R. Rebelde is OFF. Something`s always
wrong at RadioCuba. It had been ON earlier in evening (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15230, Feb 18 at 1506, RHC music S9 but JBM. Is anyone ever
hearing any active RHC frequency besides this and 6000? Spanish
evenings on 9710 is not RHC as someone guessed, but CRI East
Turkistan. 9710 still shows on RHC website of grossly outdated info
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 11529.9, Feb 18 at 1509, S6/S6 of JBA music on
signature off-frequency of ex-Hikari FM, in Mexico? Earlier than Rick
Barton reports it normally starting at 1700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9980, Feb 18 at 1504, S9+35/45 of dead air
from TOMBS via WWCR; but resumed in less than a minute. No idea how
many minutes or hours of DA preceded that (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 18 at 2300 past 2330, NO signal from VOT, or TRT.
VOT programming was ``back`` Feb 17, but neither on air today!
Likewise the 2130 broadcast on 9610, both checked via UTwente, hearing
only the Chinese no longer understations. So much for that; or, who
knows what`s next? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 26110 NBFM, Feb 18 at 1901, local weather, S5 far from full
quieting, from KMK282, aux of KOVR `13` Stockton CA (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2282 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday February 18 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+20/40 into S Texas SDR.
Also confirmed Tuesday February 18 at 1400 on WRMI 9955, S9/+20
direct.
Also confirmed Tuesday February 18 at 1500 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 direct.
No problem from something on 9960, which would be VOA Philippines in
Myanmarianese at 1430-1630, rather than Vanuatu.
Also confirmed Tuesday February 18 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italian,
1322.999-, S9 into UTwente. Next:
0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
0030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
2030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW;
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975.

P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1530, Feb 18 at 0751 UT, Spanish briefly overcoming stupid
sports talk in English from WCKY, ``45 minutos de ?xitos en La Raza,
104.9 y 95.1``.
Therefore it is: KZNX Creedmoor TX, U7 10000/220 watts per NRC AM Log,
but beware: another SS on 1530 is KXTD Wagoner OK also with FM on
104.9 but its other is 100.3, Qu? Buena. KZNX`s 104.9 is KTXX-FM, 3.2
kW in Bee Cave. Its 95.1 is a mere translator, K236AT in Westlake
Hills TX, 99 watts. Radio-locator shows address 6633 E Hwy 290, Austin
TX 78723. But NRC Log shows address for KZNX in El Paso, tho Creedmoor
is south of Austin, a tiny town pop. 202 as of 2010y census; why does
it deserve such a station? U7 means 3 different direxional antenna
patterns for day, night, and critical hours, CH power being 1000
watts. Locator shows two different sites, nighttime SE of Austin
closer to Manor; day and CH south of Austin. If that`s not complex
enough, per NRC also has a PSRA power of 55 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 1670, Feb 18 at 0755, ``Black Information Network, Macon
1670``, easily surpassing local Enid pirate? Virtual DJ Radio, and
XEFCR Reynosa. That`s WMGE, CoL Dry Branch GA. That leaves WOZN
Madison WI sports the only other 1670 within easy range to here,
besides two Californians and a Quebeckian (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** YEMEN [non]. 11934.9, Feb 18 at 1505, and still 1849, poor signal
direct, presumed Arabic from Rep. of Yemen Radio, via SA`UDI ARABIA,
on signature very stable offset, and no ``jamming`` for a long time
now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6001, Feb 18 at 0515, nothing on 6000 but at UTwente
6000 USB tuning still audiblizes the beepery only. Previously about
this on-off-keying under CUBA [and non], ISRAEL, also maybe Norway?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11954.1, Feb 18 at 1850, JBA signal, also at 2004.
Nothing in EiBi or Aoki on 11955 at these times, but HFCC has NHK
Yamata, Japan registered 1900-0100 in Japanese at 290 degrees. Or
maybe a local birdie, but seems stable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
