Hauser
** CUBA. 13728.284, Jan 15 at 1424, JBA spur // 13700 RHC, i.e. 28.28
kHz displaced, so how about 2 X at 13756.568? Yes! a similar sound at
13756.6 or so. What of the minus side? Audible at 13671.7, 13643.3.
They all fit for first- and second-orders, new ones, and quite unlike
the huge FM spurs sometimes spewing from 13700, not lately. Next day
Jan 16 at 1417, there`s again a spur about 13728.29 Something`s always
wrong at RHC. Also a possibly unrelated carrier which doesn`t compute,
on 13882.92 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15168.4, Jan 15 at 1430, wobbly JBA carrier, which is 28.6
kHz from 15140- RHC, still off-minus, measured at 1504 on 15139.790.
Almost the same spur displacement as just measured from 13700!
Checking the other side, 15111.187, Jan 15 at 1504, JBA carrier, which
is 28.603 kHz below the fundamental, perfect match. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15368.833, Jan 16 at 1423, a new wobbly weak spur // 15230
RHC, but probably out of the other frequency, which is not so offset
now, 15139.993, i.e. +228.84 kHz.

14911.172, Jan 16 at 1430, similar wobbly weak spur, which is 228.821
kHz below, a close match.

15311.521, Jan 16 at 1426, one of the older wobblespurs, which is
171.528 kHz above the fundamental, but I don`t hear the match around
14968.

15283 approx., yet another of the older spurs from 15140, is audible
at plus 143 kHz, but not its match circa 14997. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6165, 6100, 6060, 6000, 5040-, Jan 16 at 0702, The Cuban
Five, all RHC English frequencies are VG and still on with dead air:
apparently not a one of them will now emit another hour of modulation.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH. 1566, Jan 16 at 1341 I start continuous monitoring of
the NW carrier here, until it cut off at 1344:31.5*, i.e. FEBC Jeju,
250 kW HLAZ switching from Japan to China beams. LSR here is 1342.
After my full JBA MW carrier bandscan, see UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 820, Jan 15 at 1344, ``Canal ocho-veinte, A-B-C Radio``
canned ID between tunes, like at almost every break; with WBAP nulled,
which can be very weak here, as XEABCA Mexicali hops in by SRS; just
before, the only SS propagating lower were on 660, 720. Our LSR is
inching earlier, 1342 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAO TOME. 4960, Jan 15 at 0648, VOA relay indeed with dead air
halfway+ thru the semihour break between French and Hausa. Another
example of USG waste of taxpayer money. Or is their juice maybe free
from own hydro? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 12035.735, Jan 16 at 1358-1404, VOT English with `Media
Analysis` editorial amid music breaks; poor copy but about
``Irrational US Mideast policy`` in wake of acting president Drumpf`s
latest threats (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 198 kHz, Jan 15 at 0709, beacon DIW which is 2 kW from Dixon
NC (not DIX); instead of BBC Radio 4. I am having no luck with Euro
LWBC DX, unlike my neighbor Richard Allen with his setup. Dixon is too
insignificant to make the Rand McNally atlas, but coÃrdinates place it
around Jaxonvil/Camp Lejeune near the coast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 2097.3-CW, Jan 16 at 1349 UT, beacon A every dekasecond is
quite audible from Quartzsite AZ, and reliable; checked after the
2263-USB unID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1964 monitoring: confirmed Monday
Jan 14 at 2330 on WRMI 9955, fair; also UT Tuesday Jan 15 at 0030 on
WRMI 7730, very good. Again this week, produxion of WOR 1965 is
delayed until early UT Wednesday, so the next airing Tue Jan 15 at
2030 on WRMI 7780 should have replayed 1964 one more time ---- but
it`s off the air! (5950 & 9395 are on and audible). 7780 back on in
time for RAE in German at 2100.

WORLD OF RADIO 1965 contents: Bhutan, Bolivia, Bougainville, Brasil,
Cuba, France, Greece, Hawai`i, India, Madagascar, Mongolia, Oklahoma,
Romania, Russia, Turkey, USA, Vietnam non, Zanzibar; WRTH 2019

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 4980, Jan 14 & 15 at 2301, Supreme Master TV via WRMI is
still here. Checking because Zacharias Liangas concluded it was
dropped like it was from the EiBi list (and still dated Jan 13, EiBi
has nothing but Xinjiang on 4980) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 9329.004, Jan 16 at 1524, TOMBS via WBCQ has been drifting
steadily upward, and I have been chasing it since 1515, when it was
first obviously even well below 9329 --- about 9328.74 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, Jan 15 at 0208, WTWW-2 with S9+20 of dead air instead
of rock music. Recheck at 0647, ``I`m Sorry`` song at S9+30 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5970, Jan 15 at 0652, no signal from WEWN Spanish. Seems it
is off more than on. Sked still claims it runs 00-14 UT; 12050 14-24
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1480, Jan 15 at 1352 UT, Banda 13 promoting that it is
somehow ``digital``, and greeting someone in or from QuerÃtaro, i.e.
KBXD Dallas TX (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Jan 16 at 1330-
1340, barely preceding our LSR of 1342: 558-WSW-Fiji?, 693-NW, 702,
774-NW, 873-NW, 882, 972-NW, 1044-NW, 1413-NW, 1422-NW, 1557, 1566-NW
(2), 1575-NW, 1602-NW. Those with no DF are either too weak/QRMed to
tell, or maybe from both direxions. See also KOREA SOUTH (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1140, Jan 15 at 1348 UT, plugs for a Relevant Radio app,
interview someone about March for Life, and many more mentions of
Relevant Radio, which is a Catholic network. Loops roughly NE/SW, but
mainly need to null KRMP OKC which is SSE. NRC AM Log has no R.R. on
1140, but that`s because it is not a network covered in the book at
all, not on the list page 291.

Own website has two lists of R.R. stations, neither with any 1140!

https://relevantradio.com/listen/affiliates/
https://relevantradio.com/listen/stations/
The latter being O&Os. Too bad Relevant HQ is unaware of all their
outlets. So:

NRC AM Log does not have many possibilities, i.e. Christian if not
necessarily Catholic, in English. Of course, Protestants and Catholix
are unlikely to coÃxist on same station. One is WVEL Pekin IL, 5 kW
daytimer, ``Central Illinois Christian Voice`` but sked does not
mention R.R.:
http://www.wvel.com/wvel-programming-schedule/
Could certainly be propagating as WHAS & WLW are still in at 1400 UT.

Second possibility is WVHF, Kentwood MI, 5 kW direxional daytimer,
with EWTN. That makes it Catholic, but a competitor to Relevant,
unless there has been a flip. WVHF is ``Holy Family Radio`` and its
program this hour is `Catholic Connexion`, from Ave Maria Radio, yet
another Catholic competitor.
http://www.holyfamilyradio.net/show/catholic-connection/
Maybe someone know which 1140 around here be really Relevant?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2263-USB, Jan 16 at 1348, JBA 2-way, unknown language.
The 2-3 MHz band is a hugely underutilized resource since most
maritime traffic has quit it, so any such signal is significant. My
old Klingenfuss 2002 Guide did not show anything on this exact
frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 1950 UT January 16
