** CANADA. 392-MCW kHz, Jan 13 at 0419 UT, dash and ML, 500-watt ND beacon at La Malbaie / Charlevoix, Quebec; mixing with FMZ, Nebraska, see USA, on same frequency but very different pitch and no dash. Not to be confused with also on 392: ML and no dash, Monroe, Louisiana; nor Monroe, Georgia with ID as JNM, both 25 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Ivo Ivanov`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** TAIWAN [non]. 5800, UT Wed Jan 13 at 0335, WRMI with discussion in English about Cuba, no doubt `Freedom Synergy Radio` yet again occupying this hour instead of scheduled programming as filed previously under USA; FSR is pro-Taiwan, anti-ChiCom, but from the POV of anti-Commie Cubans (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 338-MCW kHz, Jan 13 at 0415 UT, ND beacon UMP, which is 25 watts from Indianapolis / MetroPolitan. I was tuned to 336-USB. 392-MCW kHz, Jan 13 at 0419 UT, ND beacon FMZ, which is 25 watts from Fairmont / Beklof, Nebraska; mixed with ML and dash, see CANADA, at a very different pitch. What is Beklof? Folkeb spelt backwards. In numerous airnav references, none explaining the name. Fairmont is directly linked to Enid on US 81, 20 km south of York and I-80, total-solar-eclipse territory. 412-MCW kHz, Jan 13 at 0420 UT, ND beacon CMY, which is 30 watts from Sparta / Fort McCoY, Wisconsin.

WORLD OF RADIO 2069 should be ready by early UT Friday January 15 for first airing at 0130 on WRMI 5850 & 7780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5830, Jan 13 at 0336, WTWW-1 with dead air, or maybe JBM as it`s very weak S4-S6. Other TN signals degraded, WWCR 5890 & 5935, but a few hours later resurged. Circa 1500, neither 5830 nor WTWW-2 5085 is on the air, unlike yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7505, Jan 13 at 0347, VP music at S6-S7, has to be reactivated WRNO; no break at ToH, music with praise tinge continues past 0400. WRNO is just too close, 1010 km = 628 st mi; while e.g. WRMI at better further skip distance is still blasting in on 7570, 7730. And/or WRNO at QRP = reduced power (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS Dear Glenn, Happy New Year! May you be blessed for your service to the DX Radio community.
