** BOTSWANA. 9774.99, Feb 16 at 0326, music at S6/S8, VOA English
relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [non]. 9790, Feb 16 at 0322, CRI relay via CUBA is as usual
S9+20/40 but JBM - what mod can be heard is distorted. Something`s
always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, Feb 16 at 0336, RHC managing to modulate in English,
S9+30, calling for end to blockade, ho hum. Somewhat suptorted but
mostly readable.
As for mailbag show which I was hoping to reconfirm on UT Monday or
Thursday, Chris Campbell, Columbus, Ohio, reports: ``RHC had their
Mailbag on last night, 0347 UT Saturday. I caught it mid program in
which they actually read a letter from me. Since they are back, the
programming has changed around a lot. At 0300 Friday I heard them
playing Music With A Message. It used to be on Saturday nights only.
But I did hear it on Sundays a while back before their last long
break. Regards, Chris`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MADAGASCAR. 9754.96, Feb 16 at 0324, La Voz Alegre ID in passing
and Bible stuff, S6/S8; always off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6924.95 AM, Feb 16 at 0240, pirate with rock music,
still going at 0316. Several ``6925`` logs say it`s Liquid Radio:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6917 USB, Feb 16 at 0240, S9+20 of hard rock. 0246 &
0250 seeming jingles but unreadable IDs. 0253 Radio 48 ID. 0255 ``Mix
Radio International on Shortwave``. 0258 ``Radio 48, the station that
dares to be different``. 0301 parody ad for ``Motel Strict`` which
will take care of unruly children. 0304 long string of heavily
produced hyper IDs for Mix Radio International; exhausting just to
listen to, but can`t complain of IDs lacking! 0314-0316* ``closing
down``. Many more logs here, mostly a lot earlier:

** NORTH AMERICA. 11529.865 approx., Feb 16 at 0318, ex-Hikari FM with
music at S5/S6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

379, DL, DuLuth MN, 50 W
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 4724 USB, Feb 16 at 0334, US military crypto message
exercise, I say again: starts with ``TROXUY...`` but can`t understand
tactical ID at end, sounds sorta like Hegseth? Out. There were
``scratchy`` sounds thruout rather than echoes (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2282 monitoring: NOT confirmed UT
Sunday Feb 16 at 0100 on WRMI 9955; instead some preacher. WOR is
still on the skedgrid at this time. Once again we have no idea,
without notice, whether this be a temporary or permanent deletion.
Confirmed UT Sunday February 16 starting at 0528 the 0415v on WA0RCR,
1860 AM, MO, with storm crashes from TN & KY, S9+20 into nearby SDR.

** U S A. 660, Feb 16 at 0805 UT, not KTNN for a change, but local ads
for Fairview, Williston; ``660 K-? weather``, including windchill of
-40; C&W music. That`s KEYZ, Williston ND, U4 5000/5000, ``Keys``.
Believe that`s new for me. Radio-locator shows night pattern major
lobe to NE, minor to SSE; day pattern more circular with notch toward
Omaha (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. UNIDENTIFIED? 680, Feb 16 at 0807 UT, ``Fibber McGee &
Molly`` classic radio episode. CJOB? KFEQ? KKYX? Those are the usuals
heard on 680; format info in NRC AM Log no help as this is likely a
departure from whatever. KFEQ website makes you hunt for plain old
program sked, but here it is:
https://www.680kfeq.com/program-schedule/
Sunday When Radio Was midnight-5:00 am www.whenradiowas.com
However, FMcG&M is not shown for `future` show today or this week:
http://www.radiospirits.com/onradio/wrw_future.asp?source=wrw&pcode=WRW2008
It looks like each program is only one hour, two oldshows, so for five
hours KFEQ must be running an accumulation. FMcG&M is among shows they
are trying to sell when not out of stock (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VATICAN [non?]. 15565, Feb 16 at 1533, VR Amharic the SSOB at
S9+25/35 direct, rivaled only by 15150 WMLK at S9+20/25. Same on //
13830 which is also synchronized, S9+20/25, vs USA on 13845 S9+25/30,
13820 S9+20/25.
On both bands, NO other significant signals from Europe. From 1555 I`m
watching and listening to 13830, now only S8/S9, 1557 VR IS weakening
to S7/S8, and 1600 drumming, into Swahili. There was *no* break in
transmission, supposedly switching from SMG to MADAGASCAR; and still
// synch with 15565.
Latest HFCC Feb 13 shows 15565 SMG adjusting beam from 135 to 145 at
1600. Also there was a change Feb 1 vs Jan 31 on 13830:
Until Jan 31, 13830 was from MDC at 1600-1700 in Swahili, Somali,
English; From February 1 all those changed to SMG. 15565 stayed SMG
only. 1530-1600 portion shown as SMG only on both frequencies before
and after Feb. 1.
So I continue to suspect these are both really via Madagascar before
and after 1600. Someone suggested I should ask VR - maybe as a last
resort. So far the evidence is contrary to registrations, listings
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Tonight I was driving on an interstate in east central Illinois and decided
to listen to Trans World Radio on 800 kHz. I listened from about 0200 to
0230Z on February 17. The broadcast was in Spanish. The signal was just
booming in tonight. it was extremely strong. Then, at 0230Z, they played
the Netherlands national anthem and the signal disappeared. I was curious
what happened.
Does anyone have their schedule or know where I can find it? Did they
change antenna patterns at 0230Z? If so, what area did they shift their
transmission to?

WRTH shows Spanish until 0230 on weekends is end of transmission; was to Cuba
so also Illinois. 73, Glenn Hauser
