25KW Daytimer KYND 1520 appears to be on the air at 9pm mountain/10pm
central. I'm in southeast Wyoming and have had something under KOKC
Oklahoma city and in a moment of quiet on KOKC, I heard a 281 area code.
Check a web controlled radio near Houston, it appears KYND is on and
running a promotional loop soliciting for programmers to buy time, using
Bill Turners loop announcement. .even though Bill hasn't been working for
KYND in like.. a year?

** ASCENSION [and non]. 15685, Feb 29 at 1900, hyper Hausa talk at
S8-S7, where normally there is nothing. This is BBC on Saturdays only
at 1700-1930, existing solely to broadcast silly ballgames; how
considerate. There is also some scratchy splatter on the plus side,
but no bigsig nearby to produce it. I think that as in times past it`s
spurious from afar 15825 WWCR-1, which is getting a sporadic E boost
to S9+10 also audiblizing the squeal. But I can`t hear anything like
it equally plus circa 15963; it`s asymmetric (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA [and non]. 245 kHz, Feb 29 at 0707 UT, dash and YZE, 1000
watt NDB from Gore Bay, Ontario; mixing with FS at different pitch,
which is 400 watts from Sioux Falls - Rock, South Dakota (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 332 kHz, Feb 29 at 0710 UT, dash and YFM, 2500 watt NDB
from La Grande 4, Quebec. New one here, from where, and why is there a
figure 4 in the place? ``The La Grande-4 is a hydroelectric generating
station on the La Grande River that is part of Hydro-Qu?bec's James
Bay Project. The station can generate 2,779 MW and was commissioned in
1984?1986. It generates electricity through the reservoir and dam
system. Wikipedia``. Atop a weaker co-channel I can`t copy (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 6070-, always offset-minus, Feb 29 at 2304, `TED Radio
Hour` from NPR is starting! Bet you did not know that CFRX is an NPR
station. You would still not know that by consulting the sked which
hides it among `Viewpoints` at 6-9 pm ET Sat = 23-02 UT now, but in a
biweek 22-01 UT:
https://www.iheartradio.ca/newstalk-1010/shows/viewpoints-1.1761551
Evidently on other Canadian iHeart stations, and don`t depend on TED
being at the same, or any time, from week to week. Poor reception and
busy so I don`t try to determine the topic. Too bad there are no US SW
stations wanting to pick up NPR shows (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [and non]. 9535, Feb 29 at 2315, Chinese overcoming weak RHC
Spanish with a medium SAH: CNR1 jamming against RFA Tibetan via Kuwait
this hour only (also sked: CRI English via Kunming). Commies vs
Commies vs Commies! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [and non]. 13650, Feb 29 at 2329, JBA signal must be NHK, as
there is NO Chinese music fill from CRI via CUBA --- must be off the
air, as 13740 RHC is inbooming S9+45. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba.
6100, fortunately can still be heard Feb 29 at 2327 with Chinese music
fill instead of CRI Portuguese direct to Brasil longpath from Beijing
site, S9+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, Feb 29 at 1907, RHC with S9 of dead air; while 15140
modulation is distorted as always. Somethings` always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15369.2+, Feb 29 at 2325, RHC JBA S3-S4, remaining way
off-frequency for day 18. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) See also CHINA [and non]
** MEXICO. 6185.0, Feb 29 at 2306, undermodulated music must be XEPPM
since no signal any more on 6185.7, where it had been off-frequency
since Feb 8, two sesquiweeks ago. Someone must have rebumped the
transmitter. By 0052 March 1, better modulation and S9+30 with a song
on 6185.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 341 kHz, Feb 29 at 0711 UT, after inaudible a few days,
Enid`s own NDB, EI, is again audible despite HNL (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 1210 kHz, UT March 1 at 0029 UT, KGYN Guymon is blasting
in S9+25 on presumed 10 kW ND day pattern. No one replied, not even me
until now, to my request to check whether it`s going direxional at
official LSS in Feb, 0030. During stupid ballgame involving some
``Lady Rebels`` and stays same past 0030, but signal suddenly drops
down at 0031:25 to only S9 and CCI is now audible. So yes, they are
--- but still seems more than it should be with null toward Philly.
Remains quite dominant. From tomorrow, the switch time will be 0045 UT
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 27185, Feb 29 at 1942, the #1 CB channel is
jammed locally by a big noise, which is on a lot of the time. Some
signals override it, or is it the same transmitter alternating
modulation? If you hear this during an opening, it could well be from
Enid. 27025 is full of hetting AM signals from the skip pileup (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 29 at 2302, VOT manages to transmit today, only
fair; at 2328 I can tell a `Letterbox` is underway but modulation and
signal too low to copy (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 6993.0, February 29 at 2309, at least two JBA carriers
beating a few Hz apart, i.e. presumed propagation researchers in
Florida, WH2XWF as explained in previous report (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 21305-USB, Feb 29 at 1948, ``CQ South Carolina QSO Party``
over and over from N4XL, Greenwood SC. Once in a while gets an unheard
reply surely from outside SC on this band. N4XL is Kevan K. Nason,
recently retired and into contesting. About to declare him the OSOB
until I hear an unID on 21285-USB. Also checked the 10, 12 and 17 m
bands, but heard no activity at all, unlike 11m CB. MUF maps show
sporadic E blobs in the 20/30 MHz range east of here (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2023 monitoring: Ivo Ivanov,
Bulgaria reports that WRMI-9 did not come up on 15770 until 1400
Saturday February 29 with SMTV, thus missing WOR at 1300 and SWRG at
1330. Has happened before; what about next weeks?
Confirmed UT Sunday March 1 at 0422 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, good via
Peoria KiwiSDR, about 8 minutes in so started circa 0414. Next:
2130 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to NE

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7490.16v, March 1 at 0037, surprised to hear TOMBS --- a new
time? There has long been strange gap in WBCQ online sked, 0040-0100
UT Sun after 100 minutes of `Good Time Oldies` and before `Available
Time Slot` usually occupied by an `AAAWWW` repeat (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 9955, Feb 29 at 2319, WRMI with gospel huxters in
Portuguese2, not Brasilian, i.e. Frank & Ernest as sked Sat 2315 ---
and NO jamming. Would that 24 hours earlier during WOR that were also
true (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5850, UT Sun March 1 at 0100, `Encore` classical music from
Scotland, first airing on WRMI, VG signal aimed thisaway but some
fading. Now one cannot be tempted to listen via webcast since there
isn`t any from WRMI except 9955 System B. Another play is coming UT
Monday 0300 on 9455 to the NNW. Tnx to Jeff White for WRMI now
`sponsoring` this (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5085, UT Sun March 1 at 0127, anonymous theatre organ show
is underway on WTWW-2, unlike a few minutes earlier; recheck at 0155
is already over playing request for ``Jump``. Unfortunately now during
same hour as `Encore` on WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6920-LSB, March 1 at 0033, 2-way with squeals, Spanish
talking about animalitos, Chihuahuas. No sign of any North American
pirates on this or 5 or 4 MHz bands despite Saturday night and SWL
WinterFest (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
