** CUBA. 15140, Jan 16 at 2052, no signal from RHC English; not at all from 2000? Something`s always wrong at RHC. Next day Jan 17 at 2000 it is on, S7/S8 into Maryland SDR, but somewhat distorted, undermod and noisy. SAWA. But at 2032 recheck direct: it`s gone again. SAWA.
BTW, Sunday Esperanto this week Jan 15 reported by Ivo Ivanov at 2132 on 15140; previous weeks was on 13680. Certainly not at claimed time of 2330 on 15730. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Jan 17 at 0720, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati; no others. If I were bandscanning later, I might detect more TP from PacificAsia; earlier, more TA from EurAfrica (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, Jan 17 circa 1630 UT, Enid`s only local TV signal is on the air again, K17JN-D, after latest AWOL starting Jan 5; but never any local origination! Main channel is 3ABN TV, plus 3 AV subchannels and 3 audio-only, including Radio 74 which is also on the KIEL, Loyal 89.3 FM transmitter. Such audio-only on a multi-TV channel, translator or otherwise, I have never encountered elsewhere. Is it widely done, or only by Three Angels? TitanTV listing for 3ABN-E as a cable channel still shows episodes about Adventist World Radio, UT Thu Jan 19 at 0430 and Sat Jan 21 at 2030, and more Jan 26 & 28 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** TURKEY [non]. 5960, Jan 16 at 2300, no signal direct from VOT English to N America. 2330 check at UTwente: nothing but Chinese from XJPBS, East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. 5960.001+, Jan 17 at 2343, undermodulated Turkish music into Maryland & UTwente, so VOT not off the air today unlike yesterday. 2352 s/off in English and this time S9+30, well atop the CCCCCCI even into UTwente. 2353 IS starts repeating; and 2355 German IDs intersperse as they are no longer allowed to pronounce it ``Türkei``. Here we go again? 2359* chopped off, uncovering XJPBS much louder modulated. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 337 MCW kHz, Jan 17 at 0727 UT, FF, 25-watt ND beacon at Fergus Falls, Minnesota. I was tuned to 335 USB: not unusual to hear NDB 2 kHz below real frequency. A new one for me, at last! F.F. is a town of 13K between Moorhead and Alexandria in west-central MN on I-94; 1109 km or 689 statute miles from Enid = 27.5 miles per watt. I once had a presumed log of KJJK 1020 in F.F.

Vanuatu, 2 x 3945; and 11835 a JJBBA carrier on 3 x 3945 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 7780, Jan 17 at 0030:00, since Jeff assures us the noise bursts on this frequency are not produced by WRMI, I am investigating further, on a night when programming other than WOR is scheduled: the bursts start at precisely the bottom and top of hours and last 14 seconds, quick pause and one more split second burst. The S/N ratio varies depending on which remote location is monitoring. At Maryland, noise does not totally override WRMI; at Louisiana yet where WRMI is stronger, it does. At 0100:00 and 0200:00 during TOMBS the same thing happens at Maurice. Next check at 0330:00, another burst at Maryland. At 0400 I am monitoring Maryland one more time and looking at the waterfall. This time I can see identical size and length bursts not only on 7780 but also on 7760 and 7792. At least they are not broadband. So WRMI might escape them by moving to 7730. My other suggestion is that WRMI shift all 7780 programming 15 seconds later. That might make it harder to coördinate with WRMI System and frequency switches, but that might be a lesser evil. Do these also fire when WRMI is not on 7780, such as in daytime? FWIW, Jan 17 at 1930 & 2000, nothing into Maryland SDR. But whence, and why? Altho the noise might convey some data in some mode, these act like they are just channel-stakers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0006 UT January 18 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/
