** CUBA. 13505, 13570, 13635, 13765, 13830, 13897, 13960, 14028-trace,
very approx. broadband FM spurs, none of them clear, from RHC-AM
13700, Jan 6 at 1429. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
13700, Jan 6 at 1445, RHC `En Contacto` has Arnie saying that we are
almost to solar min by summer near zero sunspot count, forecast to
start rising in Sept as high as 30 by yearend when SW reception should
be much improved. His info probably comes from Yanqui SWPC (Glenn

** U S A [and non]. 9955, Sunday Jan 6 at 1454, AWR Wavescan during
logs from Japan, poor with ACI from stronger 9960, which is PALAU with
Furusato no Kaze. Aoki/NDXC attempts to list every single program on
9955, but misses 1430 Sun Wavescan, instead ex-Word for the World.
And on Wed at 1430-1445 & Tue at 1445-1500, among others, Famagusta
Gazette! which has been gone for a year or more? I haven`t run across
it in a long time. WRTH 2019 pp 467-468 under CYPRUS still shows a
total of 11 weekly times for FG Radio on 9955 or 5950.
But WRMI sked grid has only 4 when searched on FG: Wed 2100 on 7780 &
5950, unlikely; Thu 0245 on 9955; Thu 2245 on 9955; Fri 1015 on 5950.
Any of these need to be confirmed, and whether they involve current
news or stale replays, evergreens, as has happened before.
WRTH notes: ``Weekly prgr with Europe related news, linked with the
(now discontinued) online news portal `Famagusta Gazette``` (Glenn

** U S A. 15809.983, Jan 6 at 1435, JBA carrier, must be the very
irregular WTWW-3, typical frequency offset, on a very bad day for 19m
propagation, as even the three Cubans are weakened and spurless. I
struggle to hear enough mod to match it to 9475-, WTWW-1, which has a
big echo: double-audio input of SFAW talk, unusual, S9+20/30. At 1500,
9475 has gone off! Back on in a minute with single audio; but why was
it necessary to turn off the transmitter to fix it? I keep trying to
match and finally do so during PPPP singing at 1503 as I measure the
frequency.
Then I find that Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria has been getting 15810 much
better: ``Test transmission of WTWW-3 from 1400 on 15810, fair to
good. Nothing from World Music Radio Denmark on 15805 -- 73! Ivo
Ivanov`` at 1443 UT Jan 6. (And SHN says this is the final daily
broadcast on 15805, to be weekends only) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

UNIDENTIFIED. 930, Jan 6 at 0708, WKY OKC Spanish ESPN-D is getting
overtaken by some C&W music, on my E-W antenna almost perpendicular to
OKC, fades just in time for ID(?). Not too many C&W format
possibilities in NRC AM Log: KAFF AZ, KRKY CO both of which would need
to be on 5 kW day power; likewise WSEV TN. Or the two Canadians, CFBC
NB, CJYQ NL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Minor regional tropo enhancement brings DTV DX, morning of
January 6 from 1553 UT. Only decode, briefly at 1629, is RF 45 as 3-3,
Ion, PSIP along with 3-4 Justice, 3-2 Telemun [sic], and 3-1 KSNW-DT,
i.e. Wichita`s NBC. Poor Ion in that market, gets only its main
channel on another station, not the other 5. Other BAD signals
correlate mostly with Wichita/Kansas market rather than Tulsa
yesterday and ante-yesterday: 8, 10, 12, 16, 19, 21, 22, 26, 35.
Bill Hepburn`s tropo maps indicate more marginal openings this week on
Tue-Wed-Thu mornings (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7325.7 & 7325.0, Jan 6 at 0654, two JBA carriers
hetting. Aoki/NDXC shows BBCWS in English 7325 switching from
Woofferton to Ascension at 0700, but even if overlapping, neither
likely to be off-frequency. 7325 is also day frequency for AIR Jaipur,
India, from 0630, also unlikely. Both BBC transmissions are *jammed by
the ChiCom even tho they are in English, which far too many Chinese
now understand (GLenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9120-9135, Jan 6 at 0659, wideband humbuzz at S7-S5, not
really DRM. (WINB 9265-AM is off unlike 24 hours earlier) (Glenn
