** CANADA. 399-MCW kHz, Feb 11 at 0720 UT, ND Beacon dash and ZHD,
which is 25 watts from Dryden - Barclay, Ontario.

406-MCW kHz, Feb 11 at 0721 UT, NDB dash and YLJ, which is 40 watts
from Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan, I was tuned to 405-USB (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13491, 13558, 13630; 13770, 13841, 13911, 13982-trace
approx., Feb 11 at 1532, spurblobs at 70-71 kHz intervals out of RHC
13700-AM. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15369.234, Feb 11 at 2124, RHC in Brazuguese knocked way
off-frequency, and distorted, S9/+10; and also // much better 15140.0
same S reading, but OK modulation; and just as they are all going into
music, also // 11880.0, S9+20 OK mod. Lest we forget per EiBi, these
are supposed to be in 3 different languages at 2100-2130, Portuguese,
Spanish and Arabic respectively. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 2337
recheck, has faded way down to S5-S8 in Spanish, audibly wavering and
remeasured at 15369.236 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185.75, Feb 11 at 1544, S5-S7 JBM carrier from XEPPM still
way off-frequency and way off-time according to own schedule (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1210, KGYN Guymon, in the Panhandle continues to be quite
audible here in Enid at night, usually the dominant station on
frequency, making me suspect it`s not really nulling toward WPHT
Philadelphia; however, we are a bit south of that direxion. Closer to
the null line would be Wichita and Saint Louis, and points in between.
Could some listeners around there check whether KGYN be audible, and
more significantly, is there any change in signal at its nominal SS/SR
times which in February are officially: 0030/1330 UT (March: 0045/1300
UT). 10 kW day pattern is ND; 10 kW night pattern of three towers in a
row, is a somewhat broad cardioid favoring WSW with deep notch ENE
toward Philadelphia.

As seen in mv-eko, KGYN is often heard and QSLed from Scandinavia, but
that great circle is more northerly. It still has to get past WPHT et
al. The Feb issue reports three QSLs of KGYN, two of them signed by
owner Greg Steckline (who presumably is at corp HQ in Kansas), and in
fact NO other OK MW stations reported heard or QSLed, altho those guys
pull in hundreds of US stations more challenging than KGYN (Glenn
Hauser, WOR)

** U S A. 1090, Feb 11 at 0651 UT, KAAY Little Rock AR in dead air
already, so not limited to hourtops; but 0656 resumed with music; did
not get back in time before 0705 to hear the usual news hole tonight
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1477.15V & 1502.85V, Feb 11 circa 0700 UT, distorted
weak matching spurblobs, unreadable FModulated, must be out of
defective 1490 kHz transmitter exactly halfway between them.

At 2340 UT, before 0008 UT sunset here, not being heard, implying, but
not certainly that this be westish rather than eastish from here.

1477.235V & 1502.765V, Feb 12 at 0021 UT, now they are reaudible, same
type of pairing varied to slightly different tho more closely measured
frequencies, i.e. plus and minus 12.765 from 1490.000. So far on the
R75 with E-W longwire only.

At 0110 UT Feb 12, I employ the hand-held wrist-altazimuth DX-398 with
BFO offset, to try to get a DF on them: peaks NE/SW on both of them.
This might imply out of my local 1390 KCRC, which used to be a bad
spur-producer closer in --- but does not work out mathematically, and
besides, the spurs are fading. Nevertheless, just in case, I check the
same displacements on the minus side of 1390, i.e. 1277.24 & 1302.76,
and hear nothing. On 1490 itself, of course, a pileup of graveyarders,
impossible to make any modulation peak match. There are none near
enough to here to dominate.

NE/SW axis implies most likely MO or TX, or possibly a state neighbor
to those, with TX the top choice because they were lacking pre-sunset.
So what stations are in that area? There are a dozen TX on 1490!
Closest to the SW axis are KZZN Littlefield and KBST Big Spring; a
little further CCW are KVWC Vernon (closest), KWMC Del Rio.
Also possible, XECJC Ciudad Juarez in the right direxion, one of few
Mexicans which may still be active on 1490. The three MO 1490s are
KDMO Carthage, KTTR Rolla and KDRO Sedalia.

I recall there was a similar pair of unID blobs a good many months ago
but haven`t been able to find them in archives by frequency searches.
I don`t believe that mystery was resolved.

Now it would be very helpful if others in the area from different
angles could at least get a DF bearing on them (they should match), if
not any readable audio to ID them directly, such as by matching
modulation peaks to a local 1490 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Feb 11 at
0653-0657 UT: 666, 693, 711, 747, 774(2), 846, 855, 882, 936(2), 1044,
1053, 1107, 1125, 1215, 1305. (2) means at least two carriers
beating.

Notably missing are the big Algerians, 531, 549, 576, 891 --- by now
they may be too far into the dayside; not much from BBC either. 846 is
extremely weak but is the only one suspected of being TP instead:
Kiritimati, where it`s still way after sunset, but I had not been
hearing any of it for some weeks; is it still on? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 356-MCW kHz, Feb 11 at 0716 UT, ND beacon PJ. None
listed at dxinfocenter on this or adjacent frequencies; no dash, but
if it were on 329 it would be in Whitehorse YT. Possibly a mixture of:
PI in Peoria IL, and SJ in San Angelo TX: .--. .. and ... .--- (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
