** CUBA. 15140, Feb 9 at 1452, RHC is distorted here and much stronger
than // 15230, which is not only distorted but also suppressed
modulation = suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 1319.96 kHz, Feb 9 at 1859 UT, KCLI Clinton continues to
modulate, partial ID mentions KWEY HD-4(?), 1900 into Fox Sports
Radio. This time soon after local mean noon, no CCI from KWHN Fort
Smith. KWEY is 1590 in nearby Weatherford, once(?) a competitor yet
now jointly owned with KCLI, so there could be some cross-pollination,
but is there any such thing as HD-4? Maybe I misheard. Usual
references FCC and otherwise do not provide full, or any, info about
what`s on all those IBOC subchannels! It seems that neither KCLI nor
KWEY has a full FM counterpart, only translators (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 410-MCW kHz, re my log of NDBeacon JU, Harold Frodge agrees
that he and Ken Zichi in Michigan have also logged it, not JUH:
``410 JU 1.0 Jefferson NC, Ashe County A/P; 02, 23 Nov, 03 Dec (HF),
04 Nov (KZ,HF)`` --- meaning 2019y? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2020 monitoring: Ivo Ivanov,
Bulgaria reports: ``Fair signal of World of Radio#2020 and Shortwave
Radiogram#138 on February 8: 1300-1330 on 15770 RMI 100 kW / 044 deg
to WeEu English Sat World of Radio #2020``
Also confirmed UT Sun Feb 9 at 0524 UT about 16 minutes into so
started very late circa 0508 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO. Earlier was good
reception direct but later I`m listening via Peoria IL KiwiSDR.
Houston AMSAT net recording was playing until 0456 when ARRL News
started, so if no WOR was lost, ARRL must have lasted only 12 minutes.

** U S A. 15825, Feb 9 at 1857, WWCR-1 hits S9+10/20, far more than
usual JBA, plenty to audiblize the squeal still spouting from this
transmitter: ergo, winter HF sporadic E opening. 15610 WEWN also
stronger than usual, S6-S8, getting ready to start with Salve Regina
prologue. Lower WWCRs also abnormally strengthened, 13845 S8-S9; 12160
S9+20/30 with `Martha Garvin Musical Memories` after 1900. Then I
check the dxmap for Es and some paths show just the right spots
between us for MUF blobs of 15 and 28 MHz. In these solar cycle
doldrums we cannot even depend on a bigsig daytime from 12160 WWCR.
BTW, WWCR program schedules have now been updated as of Feb 1:
