** CHINA. 6140, Jan 31 at 2355, YL singing ``Swing Low, Sweet
Chariot`` until cut off at 2357*. Typical rude behaviour of CRI: yes,
listed as Cantonese service via Kunming site, but whyever would they
be broadcasting that song/hymn? 6100 also propagating, CRI Portuguese
fill music via Beijing site; not to mention 12190, q.v. (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 12190, Jan 31 at 2347 Chinese, VP with heavy flutter, CODAR
QRM; a *jammed Sound of Hope frequency, presumably with CNR1. I bet
this is on Wolfie`s latest exhaustive monitoring of these:
``Log of Jan 23-26 checked some Asian target outlets on remote SDRs in
Hiroshima, Akitakata, northern Tokyo Japan; as well as at Doha Qatar
and eastern Thailand SDR rxs.
12189.955 TWN SOH Chinese S=4-5 weak and tiny at 0626 UT on Jan 26
12190even CHN CNR1 jamming signal against TWN SOH services at 0748``
But I was hearing only one signal. I deleted ``UT`` after the second
time as redundant clutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MADAGASCAR. 5010-, Feb 1 at 0332, JBA carrier on minus side as in
RNM; but I was not hearing any of it before 0200 vs WOR/WRMI, nor
after (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 88.3 WBFM, Feb 1 at 0328 UT, for the first time tonight,
K202BY translator for Enid is back on the air with nominal good signal
and modulation, no spurs, obviously repaired/replaced for new owners,
from Family Radio, to ``Great Plains Christian Radio``, a.k.a. KJIL,
originating with 99.1 full-power in Copeland KS. They have a bunch of
translators and a few non-translators in western KS, but as far east
as Emporia, plus adjacent parts of CO, TX and OK, including a
translator as close to Enid as Fairview but not heard until now in
Enid. Program was `Focus on the Family` ``on KJIL``, then commercial
for Harvest Transport. Now I`ll have to use 88.1 instead for RF feeder
purposes in the car and home, or even further to avoid ACI. As I had
been reporting, K202BY had been out of whack, dead air, or off the air
for many months, depriving us of the wisdom and remarkable prophecy of
Harold Camping (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** THAILAND. 13750, Jan 31 at *2357.6, VP carrier on, as I am parked
here waiting for HSK9`s so-called eastern North American service
direct from Udorn; 0000 Feb 1, JBA modulation. Never better than this
here, or inaudible. No Cuba on 13740 tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 31 at 2345, VOT English to us gone again (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2019 monitoring: confirmed first
WRMI broadcast, Friday January 31 at 2300 on 9955 --- I`m listening
via Bogotá KiwiSDR where reception is good with no jamming audible,
but at 2323 check direct, mixing with jamming, more or less readable
depending on fading, but night conditions are closing in and dropping
the MUF.
Never mind my suggestion that others listen now via Colombia; that SDR
only accommodates a few listeners at a time; so if you can access it
via the web, you can also access the WRMI webcast, or podcast via
multiple sources; do that rather than tie up SDR.
Also confirmed UT Saturday February 1 at 0130 on three WRMIs direct:
5010, S9+10 but noisy; 5850, S9+10/20, better but not the big solid
signal it usually is; and 7780, only S9 and noisy. Next:

** U S A. 5850, UT Sat Feb 1 at 0200, WRMI starting VORW after WOR,
this time John saying it`s the ``newest`` show of Thursday 15 August
--- so he`s still rerunning during dental healing; three weeks ago it
was the 8 August show (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. (7490.25v), UT Sat Feb 1 before 0100, hardly any signal from
WBCQ nor on 5130, so I bring up webcasts for `AAAWWW`, both main and
Area 51, but despite WTO theme, it`s Pirate Joe substituting this
week, into political ruminations which I might find agreeable, but not
expecting any WBCQ tech or programming info, move on to other
monitoring. John Carver in IN was not getting either SW signal at all
until end of hour on 5130. 7490+ had been audible here but fading down
by 2300 for `Behaviour Night` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 17775, Jan 31 at 1951, VP signal S6-S7 with gospel music,
presumably in Spanish, the SSOB and also the OSOB: KVOH. Nice to know
it still exist, as usually inaudible, especially when checked around
nominal *1500 M-F. We still await an update about if and when their
`new` transmitter was ever put into service (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 8992-USB, Feb 1 at 0003, ``New Deal`` concluding
alfanumeric cryptomessage, pause, ID and repeat. NO RTTY CCI today,
and always has echo/reverb to add to its mystery. Never the same ID
again; or from same site? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 12746-USB, Jan 31 at 2348, 2-way in colloquial informal
Spanish, engine noise, not long before `puta` mentioned; intruders? I
wish some native speakers would monitor all these and give us an idea
what/where they are about (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
