** BRAZIL. 3365, Jan 31 at 0029, no JBA carrier here from R. Cultura
de Araraquara, unlike 24 hours ago, so maybe gone for good; but did
not try remotes again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9630.345v, Jan 30 at 2251, R. Aparecida is on now with
split frequency which I have not been hearing late at night, like
9666v Voz Missionaria; now Aparecida is also // on 11856.303v amid the
Cuban mess. Might audiblize their Saturday DX program, but what`s the
time, 2100? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 395-MCW kHz, Jan 30 at 0726 UT, dash and YL, 1600 watt NDB
at Lynn Lake, Manitoba, which is more than a megameter NNW of
Winnipeg, even beyond Flin Flon, not far from the SK border; or 2286
km from me (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, Jan 30 at 0654, this is the only VG signal and
modulation of The Cuban Five in English; 6145 is fair; 6100 JBM; 6000
suptorted; 5040 strong but squealy overmodulated. Something`s always
wrong at RHC ::: (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13740, Jan 30 at 1551, RHC still on a couple hours late with
dead air at S9+10/20; forgot to turn it off? While 13700 is normally
modulating with no spurs today; something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15696 & 15704 approx., Jan 30 at 1553, squealyspurs in the
sidebands of CRI Plus relay, which sounds OK on 15700 itself.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11860, Jan 30 at 2238, RHC English is S9+40 with VG
modulation; but 11850, RHC Spanish is S9+20 and just barely modulated;
along with its -10 kHz spur on 11840 rating S9-S8 but with no
modulation audible; its mate on +10, 11860 is JBA QRMing the jamming
which is still running against OCB. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN. 9890, Jan 30 at 2249, NHK Japanese is VG S9+10/20, still
amazingly strong for a broadcast listed for the opposite direxion to
SE Asia; as I continue to suspect it`s erroneously azimuthed thisaway
from Yamata. This time a long-path echo is also barely audible during
brief fades (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 4117-USB, Jan 30 at 0026, pirate music found here
after nothing on the 6.9 MHz band; S9+10 but generally too poor to
enjoy the music or copy exactly what the DJ says, but I can recognize
some of it; now it`s ``My Old Friend Martin`` (Luther King). 0029
``Linden Tree``; i.e. string of folk songs; 0034 DJ mentions folk
music, downtown Los Angeles, wish this could be in stereo; long pause
at 0035, Santana; 0049 says station is a work in progress; banjo song;
0058 blues, 0102 another. 0105 says listened to his own audio and it
sounds wonderful; hasn`t bought a CD in 20 years; brief noise bursts;
0111 talks over music, blues; 0117 still going with YL song, ``Let`s
Call the Whole Thing Off``; 0122 more folk music; 0125 song with
guitar and fiddle; 0128 YL group song or overdubbing; 0132 ``Universal
Soldier``; 0134 DJ says he hasn`t heard that in decades, and should
play another from same CD. Next recheck at 0153, it`s off. Never heard
any ID and wonder if he ever gave one. Now to check HFU:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,62764.0.html
Many logs there say it was Zeke`s Attic, with much more complete
playlists; and Harold Frodge say he pronounces it Zee-kee. Please QSL?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PHILIPPINES. 9450, Jan 30 at 2259, ``Jesus Saves`` IS from FEBC
Bocaue, 2300 sounds Thai-like, music with flute and drum. It`s Iu Mien
at 2300-2330, which is spoken by 400K each in S China and Vietnam, per
EiBi; for whom original religions are not good enough. Some splash
from 9455 WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11820.045, Jan 30 at 2240, SBC Qur`an is S9-S7,
always off+frequency; a sign of spring as this has not really been
propagating in the depth of winter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Thu Jan 30 at 2300, REE with `Amigos de la Onda
Corta`, first discussion of TVE in Catalunya, and a museum preserving
RNE artifacts; S9+20/30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 30 at 2301, quick check confirms VOT English on
the air today, with disclaimer not to expect any Breaking News on this
or the 0400 broadcast, recorded earlier; relatively poor signal
compared to Spain on 9690 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 426-MCW kHz, Jan 30 at 0720 UT, very strange beacon ID
because two are overlapping at same pitch: I do copy SU and then a Z.
But in between unclear what. Must be two I have logged before
individually, but even after a few minutes now they have not diverged,
like periods synchronized rather than taking turns. Apparently the two
25-watters, IZS in Montezuma, Georgia, and UV in Oxford, Mississippi
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13685-13690-13695, Jan 30 at 1550, WINB-DRM noise is S9+10;
that is noise on the top half, beepery on the bottom half, never
explained. Summary for `Wavescan` Dec 29 says they have 3 x 15 kW DRM
transmitters; strange, as never heard on more than one at a time, and
sounds more like the registered 50 kW than 15; likewise 7310-7315-7320
late in the night. Or maybe 15+15+15 kW at a time? (Glenn Hauser,
WORLD OF RADIO 2019)

** U S A. 690, Jan 31 at 0113-0130+ UT as I am bandscanning MW for any
sign of live coverage of acting president Drumpf Impeachment Trial ---
zilch --- I can`t help but notice KGGF Coffeyville KS in dead air.
Clearly this, the normally dominant signal here day and night, tho the
OC facilitates several other signals, notably Spanish presumably XEN
rather than Cuba. By 0151 check, KGGF has revived with condescending
financial advice to a very indebted ex-medical student in danger of
burning out: work very long hours for a few years (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 1090, Jan 30 at 0701 UT, yet another check of what`s
happening at Cumulus` KAAY Little Rock AR: PSA and illegal ID ``AM
1090 KAAY``, 0701.6 into mandatory dead air circa ToH; 0705 revives,
JIP tail end of SRN news, 0705.5 gospel music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 8992-USB, Jan 30 at 2256, US military alfanumeric crypto
message but with heavy RTTY QRM, one carrier zeroing at 8993.6. Both
stop about the same time, 2258, making me think that is not
coincidental; same transmitter? I was looking for 8989 el pescador
predicador nicaragüense, no show (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12469.50-USB, Jan 30 at 2229, contact between two YLs,
unusual in Spanish, conveying traffic, reading out some document with
``dos puntos`` = colon, maybe URLs, but also mentions ``grados`` =
degrees so maybe about weather or navigation. Much spelling out
fonetikally, employing the English A-B-Cs --- ``November`` etc., but
otherwise in perfect non-colloquial Spanish. And not a word about
putas! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15111.11-USB, Jan 30 at 2157, 2-way in colloquial
Spanish, INTRUDERS; 2158 one of them whistles, and with engine noise
in background (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15803-USB, Jan 30 at 2213-2223, 2-way in colloquial
Spanish, discussing putas, etc.; not INTRUDERS into the 19m SWBC band
if you buy that it ends at 15800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
