** BRAZIL [and non]. 9630.50, Jan 19 at 2349, R. Aparecida has been
stable almost exactly split between 9630 and 9631 as if intentional,
24h, and most of the time lux out lacking any het from genuine 9630
stations --- but now there is a weak het in Chinese until 2357*. Aoki
& EiBi show it`s CRI Cantonese this hour only, via Jinhua 831 site for
Philippines (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5025, Jan 18 at 0713, S9+20 R. Rebelde is distorted and
overmodulated during Fox fanfare, not exactly Revolutionary.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. And not the only entity to
pirate it. In fact it`s the best thing about Fox. Wikipedia has a bit
about it but mainly on the visual logo:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_Century_Fox#Music

``20th Century Fox is known for its searchlight structure logo. Its
fanfare was originally composed in 1933 by Alfred Newman, who became
the head of Twentieth Century-Fox's music department from 1940 until
the 1960s. It was re-recorded in 1935 when 20th Century-Fox was
officially established`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15230, Jan 18 at 1454, this RHC is unusually off but 15140.0
is on-frequency with very weak spurs audible circa 15311, 14997,
14968. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11980, Jan 19 at 0032, very poor in Spanish, but // much
stronger 5990, CRI relay, so 11980 is 2 x harmonic this time.

11980, Jan 19 at 2340, very poor algo, not // 5990 this time with
undermodulated CRI English relay; but confirmed // 11760, 11700,
11840, RHC Spanish, so likely a leapfrog of 11700 over 11840 another
140 kHz beyond. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. 7290, Jan 18 at 1547, conversation in Japanese --- or
so I thought, but Nippon no Kaze service in Korean is scheduled via
TAIWAN. Maybe teaching Japanese to Koreans? Or so colloquial it`s
harder to tell the difference (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEWFOUNDLAND. 11279-USB, Jan 18 at 1535, ATC handing off a flight
to next contact, Edmonton; a very large latitude mentioned, so
probably trans-polar; then contact United 88, specifying 8891 as
secondary, testing selcall. I *think* concluding contact with
``Gander``. Only station EiBi has on 11279 is Tashkent VOLMET. Here`s
one other report of Gander on 11279:

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1965 monitoring: necessarily slept
thru the Unique Radio and WINB scheduled airings Sat Jan 19 at 0930
and 1200; however, Tim Gaynor had notified at 1020 UT:

``No audio from Unique Radio via WINB 9265; listen here --- go to
http://www.uniqueradio.podomatic.com to listen to the broadcast.
Apologies and beyond my control. 73 Aussie Tim``

As ever, not audible in OK on 9485-CUSB, but imaginatively confirmed,
Saturday January 19 at 1553 the 1531 on HLR 9485-CUSB via UTwente SDR,
trace of what sounds like gh. Alan Gale, England, reports:

``Hi Glenn, Well, I can confirm that HLR was on 9485 kHz this
afternoon, as it was audible here during the Radio Tropical programme
at 1400-1500 UT, but it faded out about half-way through, never to be
heard again, so still no reception of World of Radio on this
frequency. I'll keep checking it; hopefully the propagation will
improve and it will be back before too long. Alan``

Confirmed Sat Jan 19 at 2220, the 2200 on WRMI 9955, fair on portable.

** U S A. 7416-USB, Jan 18 at 1544, Triblade 20 with top-secret crypto
``message #5``, beeps, i.e. Civil Air Patrol net (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490v & 9330v, UT Sat Jan 19 at 0035, no signals from WBCQ;
and 5130.48 is JBA; while 3265 remains inactive. Bodes ill for `Allan
Weiner Worldwide` this week, so I bring up the webcast about 0057:
music fill instead of previous program, ID at ToH and instead of AWWW,
back to fill music, which continues the rest of hour on headphone
background. Maybe realized not on air so skipped doing program --- or
vice versa?

John H Carver reports at 0104: ``Glenn. 7490 appears to be off the
air. 5130 with some other program and 9330 with Brother Scare. Could
Allan be in transit and they decided not to have a show at all?``

and at 0216: ``Glenn. Monitored all three frequencies for a bit over
thirty minutes and no change. Brother Scare was blathering and 5130
talked of cars with onboard computers that could shut them down and
tips for choosing one's personal drone. John`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. 12050, Jan 18 at 1534, WEWN Spanish is back on; other
frequency 5970 continues AWOL the nights before and following (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3145, 3185, 3195, 3215, UT Sun Jan 20 at 0135, nothing from
WWRB on any of its current or former 90mb frequencies; possibly
already finished weekend broadcast, or not at all? Website schedules
are totally outdated/imaginary (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5961.23, Jan 18 at 0710, JBA carrier. Worst local
devices off so am fairly sure this is real, but nothing noticed here
before (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12000, Jan 18 at 1533, S9-S6 mystery open carrier again;
and again, and again, or maybe continuous ---
12000, Jan 19 at 1450, S9-S5 of dead air.
12000, Jan 19 at 2338, S3-S5 of dead air (no RHC on 6000)
