** ASCENSION. 21630, Feb 18 at 1557, S4/S5 open carrier, 1558 Bow
Bells, i.e. BBC about to open one hour only of English aimed 114
degrees at half power 125 kW per HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9700, Feb 18 at 0740, S9/+20 of dead air from the only RHC
still transmitting; sleepyrators zzz? Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** FRANCE. 21690, Feb 18 at 1557, exploring 13m beyond 21525 WRMI, JBA
signal here, i.e. end of Swahili hour of RFI. Very few signals are
even on the 13m air during out daytime. See also ASCENSION (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** IRAN [non]. 5910, another check Feb 18 for the weekly Friday new
clandestine, Channel 1 TV originating in Canoga Park, California. Last
week it was half an hour of dead air but meanwhile, the source was
identified. Monitoring Feb 18 via UTwente heard abrupt *1730, S9/+10
of dead air again with lite hum, but 1732 cut on abruptly modulation
in progress. Talk in presumed Farsi, bit of music, crowd noise,
mentions Iran, and a few times, Kordestan, anthem-like choral music;
interview for a while, then monolog until 1753.5 a snippet of the same
music, DA and 1754.6* cut off air already. Occasionally was a bit of
breakup, not sure if transmitter or receiver-caused. Never heard a
word of English, nor the reported ID in Farsi of ``Kanal Yek TV``, but
could have missed it. Site believed Uzbekistan, as in EiBi presumably
derived from WOR iog research, but still not in HFCC or Aoki. Website
is https://ch1.cc/ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MADAGASCAR. 15605, Feb 18 at 1517, S9/S6 talk in unknown language,
already off at 1528 check. Per HFCC it`s AWR, 250 kW, 35 degrees from
MDC in ``Lus`` language. But WRTH 2022 page 299 under, where else?
Thailand shows Mizo language to S Asia, daily 1500-1530. EiBi agrees
MZ language, Aoki Lus from Talata. EiBi`s readme.txt accounts for
both: ``MZ Mizo / Lushai: India-Mizoram (0.7m)[lus]`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW kHz, Feb 18 at 0742 and still 1515, PN, 25-watt
ND beacon at PoNca City, is back. Latest outage started Feb 11 (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2126 monitoring: confirmed first
broadcasts, UT Friday February 18 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850 VG direct;
7780, S9/+10 into UTwente. Once again WRMI overrides the last few
words of my closing as heard on 7780.
Also confirmed UT Friday February 18 at 0330 on WRMI 5985, as usual
JBA S9 direct and noisy, but surely better southwards.
Also confirmed Friday February 18 at 1530 on WRMI 9955, S9/+10 direct
with no jamming. Next:

** EGYPT. 9899.605v, Feb 18 at 2115 via UTwente, certainly R. Cairo on
signature off-frequency, and signature extremely distorted but not
suppressed modulation. Should be in English, but my brain cannot lock
onto it as English, or Arabic, but what? Intonation seems more like
Russian, maybe, which is an RC language but scheduled at 19-20 on
9510. I cannot recognize a single word in any known language. At 2130
there is a 5+1 timesignal, more talk, non-English? By 2222 maybe I can
make it English; at 2242 maybe utters ``goodbye``, music; 2144.5 tone
to 2245* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ITALY [and non]. Altho WORLD OF RADIO was scheduled to be
pre-empted on this, the third Friday, February 18, from IRRS 7290 and
1323 kHz at 1915 UT, I check remotes anyway just in case. Turned on at
1858, nearby Noale SDR is getting NO signal from AM Italia on 1323; at
1903 it`s hearing German, i.e. from Romania`s domestic minority
service, which has always been a QRM problem; ex-918 only with Spain,
and no LW 207 either. 7290 via Bulgaria never comes on air either! As
monitored via UTwente. Past 1915 still nothing.
WORLD OF RADIO 2126 confirmed, however, on 1323 kHz only, Fri Feb 18
in progress at 2141 check, so AM Italia is back on air, S9+10. It may
not have been at first check 2115, but distracted by Cairo did not get
back to it by 2130. Now as usual, no QRM problem on 1323. But at 2154
in my 4790 item, modulation chops off as I am saying ``Tom Ca--[ll
Theatre]``. Dead air for more than a minute, 2156 music fill; 2200 no
ID but JIP `Feature Story News`. Off before next check at 2221. Next:

** SPAIN. 12030, Feb 18 at 2252, is today`s missing frequency from
REE, checked at Maryland SDR: backward for ME it`s often as good as
9690 direct to N America, which is S9+30 today; the other 25 mbs are
still on, 11940 S9/+10 and 11685 S7/S5, all in time for token English
Friday at 2300-2330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 18 at 2320, VOT English is VG into UTwente, now
starting `Feeling Supreme` segment, this time delivered by
heavily-accented YL, about ``fat-in-liver disease/syndrome`` which is
problematic if over 10%. VG but some hum and by now the usual CCCCCCI
undercurrent. Signal strength merits max bandwidth of 9 kHz but audio
input is still lo-fi ``telco quality`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat Feb 19 at 0100-0202, AAAWWW on WBCQ webcast,
notes with paraphrases of A&A`s comments, often yelling over each
other, mostly far-right ranting. Most of which I gh strongly disagree
with. Open window and yell out ``I`m mad as hell and won`t take it any
more``. I`m white so I`m no good. Don`t make bad choices because you
have too much freedom. Boycott Land-o-Lakes because they took an
Indian lady off their butter boxes. Vacuum state of horrible
leadership. Communist China is taking over all US branches of
government, responsible for puppet Biden being president. We have to
wait for Trump to come back in 2024 and fix all this.
At 0135, datestamp as 18 February YOOLF 2022, trimulcasting on 7490,
6160, 4790 - none checked here. Got rid of AT&T as too costly via
copper pairs, so new phone for show is 207-286-5483 - but there were
no calls put on air, I think. Fuel cost is up 50% and electricity will
be doubling. May be hard to keep WBCQ in business. Looking into
energy- and cost-saving modifications, such as pulse modulation.
There is no true ownership of property in the US since you can lose it
by not paying property taxes. 0141 quoting Chuck Kelly about how radio
is not going away despite TV, streaming. Radio listening is up among
younger Brits. A&A don`t have a smart speaker, too creepy listening
all the time. 0150 anti-Biden, Hillary, AOC, Warren quotes from signs.
Also anti-Trudeau. WBCQ may have so start a ``Radio Free Canada``
transmitter. Allan for at least the third time recently makes the
explicit false claim that no privately owned SW is allowed by the
government in Canada. You`d think he would know aboot CFRX if not
CFVP! There is a ``dark`` government which could get rid of Allan.
0159 prayer; runs over 2 minutes until joining Hal Turner in progress
at 0202. Standard disclaimer! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
