** CANADA. 680, Jan 2 at 0637 UT, weather on ``680 CJOB``, vs IBOC
noise from 670 WSCR unless I tune 680 to LSB (yes, not USB, since the
IBOC peak is about 13 kHz away from sources). Plug some free app
``Radioplayer Canada`` to get lots of stations without a radio! Back
to talk show ``live across Canada``. This is probably my second-often
Winnipeger after CBW 990, 50/50 kW U1, which is audible anynight
except when auroraed out. CJOB 50/50 kW U4 night pattern has a tiny
tail to the south and day pattern is totally north, so unseems on
either of them now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, Jan 3 at 0610, RHC English AWOL from here, while still
going on 6060, 6100, 6165 and 5040. 6000 is the odd one out, from
QuivicÃn site. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAO TOME. 6080.025, Jan 3 at 0604, VOA English news ending, into
music, and it is this far off-frequency, so previous assumption that
it would be Brasil is contradicted; altho if on, it may be off-
frequency plus too, around here. Also light stray Cuban pulse jamming
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 12030, Jan 2 at 1554, S9+10 open carrier, 1555 starting
earworm REE IS, as non-American service now from 1600 weekdays.

9690, Jan 2 at 2302, REE English resumed on this Wednesday, after
skipping NYE, Alison introducing lots of great Spanish classical
guitar music for almost the entire semihour, VG. Final orchestral
piece ends right in time for 2330 switch to French rather than dumping
out of it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 12035.711, Jan 3 at 1421, VOT English into closing IS, VP
S3-S5 and way off-frequency today unlike stronger Turkish, music close
to 11815.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1963 monitoring: confirmed this week`s first
SW broadcast, Wednesday January 2 at 1047, the 1030 on WRMI 5950,
S9+10. Also confirmed Wed Jan 2 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9 no jamming;
and 9 seconds later on WBCQ 7490.13, S9+10. Next:

** U S A. 9265V, Jan 2 at 2259, WINB with ``Over the Rainbow`` on
piano, recording with very bad wow (modulation problem, in addition to
wobbly carrier frequency), quick ID and 2300 `Treasure of Truth
Broadcast` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 570, Jan 2 at 0634 UT, South Dakota PSA, so WNAX Yankton
even on the E-W longwire rather than KLIF Dallas; 0635 back to music
interlude on C2CAM, now // 580 WIBW et al., et al. WNAX fades into
some CCI, so maybe it really is on their night pattern (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Jan 2 at 0641-0656
UT. Usually I tune 1 kHz below on USB in 9-kHz steps to detect those 1
kHz hets, but this time I do it 1 kHz above on LSB, which might turn
up some different close-in carriers. I happen to start at 693,
downward and then back up but here rearranged into order:

531, 549, 558(2), 576, 585, 603, 612, 621, 639, 648, 666, 693, 729,
747, 774(2), 837, 855, 882, 909, 936, 1044, 1089, 1098, 1107(2), 1116,
1125(2), 1134, 1143(2), 1152(2), 1179(2), 1215(2), 1224, 1233, 1305(2
~5 Hz apart), 1314, 1359, 1422, 1485(2), 1503, 1575.

For 1305, mwoffset list shows most likely RNE Radio 5, Spain, with one
transmitter 5 Hz low and a couple close to nominal:
1304.9950 E RNE Radio 5 (Ourense/Pereiro (RNE)) 24h 2015-10-12
1304.9999 E RNE Radio 5 (Bilbao/Santo Domingo (RNE5)) 24h 2018-02-16
1305.000 E RNE Radio 5 (Ciudad Real/Almagro (RNE)) 24h 2011-05-23
There are also some less likely synchros, Premier Christian Radio, UK.

In addition I had some odd hits at 0646, approx.: 944.055, and shortly
1054.19, i.e. ~1 kHz off the bandplan, where no stations are known, so
presumably somethings receiver-internal or local devices; or real
spurs? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6989.94-LSB, Jan 2 at 2240-2254+ very strange monolog by
some guy, sounds rather like Japanese, but with huge vocalized pauses,
mostly aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh, some other vowels, on and on (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
