** CANADA. 2598-USB, Jan 19 at 0648 UT again I am hearing a roboyl
marine weather broadcast in English at a time when none scheduled at
http://dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm
nor at
https://www.hfunderground.com/wiki/Maritime_Weather_Transmissions
- and the Canadian CG website seems to have deleted its once-extensive
scheduling of these. Mentions storm warnings, 0652 for northern Grand
Banx, then for southeastern G.B. Forecasts extend to Monday morning.
Visibilities often one mile or less. Also again there is a slight
reverb on her voice, either self-imposed from one transmitter, or from
two slightly unsynchronized transmitter sites. All the listed 2598
broadcasts are from six stations in Newfoundland & Labrador, or
adjacent Quebec (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Jan 19 at 1505, S9+10 of dead air except for one
syllable which breaks thru; wiggle that patchcord! OK on 15230, 11760.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13568, 13634, 13767, 13834, 13901, 13967, 14033, 14100-trace,
approx., spurblobs out of RHC 13700, readable both in FM and AM but
not SSB, and with the F# tone in FM, progressively weaker toward the
outskirts where only the tone may giveaway. Now intruding into 20m
hamband where maybe some of them will notice and complain; to CO2KK?

** U S A. 9330.0, Jan 19 at 1550, WBCQ-6 still off the air. Allan has
twitted nothing more about this blown screen bypass capacitor since
Jan 17, even in a new one today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1090, UT Sunday Jan 19 at 0702, KAAY LR AR again in dead air
until gospel music start at 0705. At least they are not totally
haywire like last weekend. No sign of an harmonic on 2180 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2182-USB, Jan 19 at 0636, YL voice JBA briefly, nothing
further for a minute. Since hearing a prolonged AM carrier here I pay
more attention to this once-important maritime calling and distress
frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7421.6-USB, Jan 19 at 1552, 2-way in Spanish, not
exactly intruding, but too close to Chinese on 7420-AM, i.e. CNR1
jamming RFA via Tajikistan, and tough luck for PBS Nei Menggu, Hohhot
839 site which ought to have 7420 to itself (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1957 UT January 19

** ARGENTINA [non]. 5800, UT Sat Jan 18 at 0133, RAE AAM via WRMI is
just concluding actualidaddx.com.ar with a song. Presumably to be
repeating 48 hours later after 0100 UT Mon Jan 20 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** PERU. 5980, Jan 17 at 2352, JBA carrier from R. Chaski until
autocutoff at 2353:42.5*, which is 2 seconds earlier than yesterday,
as time marches on. Leonardo Santiago, Venezuela, replies about what
the name means:

``Hi Glenn, I hope this e-mail may help you. Just look for the meaning
of Chaski in the following message sent to me by R. Mosoj Chaski from
Bolivia some months ago:

"Sr. Leonardo es muy grato saber que escucho nuestra sintonia, Mosoj
Chaski (esta en el idioma quechua) quiere decir Nuevo Mensajero somos
una radio emisora especialmente para nuestra gente quechua. el quinua
se produce especialmente en Potosi y Oruro. Dios el creo este mundo y
también a la humanidad lo bendiga mucho. Atte Mosoj Chaski."

I didn't translate as I know you also speak Spanish. Best, Leonardo
Santiago, Venezuela``

I.e. new messenger, so I assume Chaski alone is messenger. I should
have pointed out that we know 5980 apparently is carrying nothing but
programming from evangelical network:
https://redradiointegridad.com/
where Radio Chaski, 5980, is too insignificant even to mention. WRTH
shows it: ``LM09) OBZ4H 700 25 kW, San Miguel`` but address in Lima
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 17 at 2354, VOT is still on with IS, but cuts off
at 2355:06* --- no luck for bonus German hour; maybe tomorrow when
Nauen vies for frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 11720, Fri Jan 17 from 2110, VOA Grimesland with `Music Time
in Africa`, VG signal off the back. Hyper Heather Maxwell gives her
name every other break. (Fortunately I am far too modest to impose
that upon my listeners -- only thrice in 29 minutes, at start, middle
and finish.) Dumps off the air abruptly at 2140, but resumes in less
than a minute. Wraps up with citation of her program times on VOA,
always omitting this very one, by far the best one we can hear. Also
as usual, the YDD sign-off at 2200 is cut off before it finish (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2017 monitoring: confirmed NOT
filling the blank field on the WRMI skedgrid, Friday January 17 at
2100 on 7780 -- rather something musical. Missed checking Fri 2300 on
9955 --- did anyone hear it, and how bad was the jamming? I remember
to check at 2352, when in Spanish but no jamming: go figure.

Confirmed UT Sat Jan 18 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, VG S9+10/20, // 5010
Poor S9 with LAH on the lower side, Madagascar? At 0200* of WRMI, I
can still detect that JBA carrier alone. AND WOR from 0130 IS ON 7780
but VP. Last week 7780 carried APS Radio music, so I figured it had
replaced WOR, but here we are again, and remain on the skedgrid too.

** U S A. 7490.273, Jan 18 at 0050, WBCQ during FKB gospel huxter has
drifted up to here, ex-7490.245, VP S4-S6; no signal yet on 5130.

At 0100 some unknown music starts on 7490+, not the AAAWWW theme WTO.
Finally just before 0107 cosmikdebris (Larry Will) and Jane start
talking, as substitutes in a ``Lumpy Gravy-type show``. Says also on
5130 and 9330 is on but with other programming [not]. Yes, 5130 is now
on // and a little better but both VP so I switch to webcast: oh2,
7490 cast has Brother Scare on it! But Area 51 has AAAWWW [non], where
I listen:

A lot more back-and-forth banter between them than from A&A where
Angela must be prodded to say something. Says A&A had other plans this
evening in Florweirda. 0125 he discusses some unusual FM tropo DX in
January, getting Norfolk stations where he is NW of DC in MD.

Over to John H Carver for a fuller report: ``No signal of any kind on
7490. 5130 had Brother Scare till two minutes after the top of the
hour and then went into music. At 0107 Larry and Jane Will came up and
said they were hosting the show this evening. Some talk of the rapid
change in the weather in Maryland. Jane stated that they were going to
do a show more like Lumpy Gravy instead of AAWWW. Then into some
music. Then some talk about sunspots and general dismal solar
conditions.

5130 started to degrade about 0126. Then some talk about improved MW
and FM reception in their area. Around 0133 audio really got garbled
at times. Program went into more music at this time. At 0148 Larry
went over some of the schedule marred by some hams underneath the
signal. Checked above and below the frequency and didn't find another
station interfering. At 0150 back to some music. At 0155 the constant
top of the hour IDs started up again and went to the top of the hour.
John, Mid-North Indiana``

As for 9330, which has been off today, a twit from Allan around 20 UT:
``Allan Weiner @AllanWBCQ · 9h Superstation down. Blown screen bypass
capacitor. Poor design here. Working on it now. All other BCQ’s fine.
Extremely cold at the site. High winds do not help. The joys of
winter. Allan&Angela Worldwide tonight at 8pm 7490/5130khz. Who knows
what? See the screen short.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. Re my log on 12035 & 11820, CRI sites, Wolfgang Bueschel
replies: ``see screenshots, Baoji Xinjiezhen jamming center is 140
kilometers distance away of Xian / Xianyang sites, are only 11
kilometers away of each other. 73 wolfie`` (Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** CUBA. 15700, Jan 17 at 1605, CRI relay is still on with dead air at
S9+10/20, wasting kilowatts and kilopesos which might have helped feed
under-nourished cubanos. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. Re 12200 and 11980, which transmitters produce harmonix,
Wolfgang Bueschel replies: ``re 5990 Cuba 11980 kHz hx, they have 5 x
250 kW txs at this Quivican site at their disposal. Not to compare
with 6100 kHz outlet, which is another installation at Bauta site,
with different antenna design`` (Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Jan 17 at 1606, RHC Spanish is still on here late at
S9 undermodulated; 15140 is S9+20 but overmodulated/distorted. It and
11760 are supposed to run past 1600, and at 1610, 11760 is on but
unusually very poor, S8-S9 and suptorted. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 417-MCW kHz, Jan 17 at 0637 UT, ND beacon IY, which is 25
watts from Charles City, Iowa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565-CW, Jan 17 at 1601, K6FRC HIFER beacon from CA is JBA.
Maybe latest in day I have heard it; never in the afternoons or
evenings. Confess there have been a few other instances lately of
audibility before 1600 I did not log as the programming is rather
boring (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. Reminder that new WORLD OF RADIO 2017 first airs
from N America, Friday Jan 17 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, no doubt with
jamming; and UT Sat Jan 18 at 0130 on WRMIs 5850, 5010, and presumably
like last week, no longer on 7780 tho still shown on System D sked
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, Jan 17 at 1605, zero signal from WRMI, off? Made a
note to check it via UTwente SDR, but not until 1730 when it is on but
JBA over there. Bad propagation today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 9455, Jan 17 at 1612, TOMBS from WRMI but
undercurrent in Chinese. Am surprised USAGM agreed to share 9455 with
WRMI extended to 24 hours; Radio Free Asia is on here from various
sites, this hour only on M/W/F via SAIPAN. Also daily 17-19, 20-22,
Tibetan 02-03. Or maybe not surprised as writeoff frequency bound to
be jammed anyway, so what`s a little more QRM? I am probably hearing
CNR1 rather than Agignan Point. Side benefit, QRM to the BS from SC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Jan 17 at 1730+, no signal from WLCR via WBCQ, even at
UTwente; Ivo Ivanov has reported: ``USA ZERO SIGNAL of WBCQ-6 "World's
Last Chance Radio" between 0600 and 1600 UT January 17, pls check all
other [times]`` --- So far not a twit from Allan Weiner about this;
circa 18 UT, last one was 22 hours ago implying 9330 was on as usual.
NWS predicts for Caribou/Monticello area:

``Widespread blowing snow, mainly before 1pm. Sunny and cold, with a
high near 1. Wind chill values as low as -21. Northwest wind 15 to 17
mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Jan 17 at 0511, WTWW-2 remarkably weak at S6-S8 with
rock music, so weak I cannot even detect the spurs 5072.1 and 5097.9!
Other TNs are also weaker than usual, 4840, 5830, 5935. K index at 06
is only 1; SF 72, no storms (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 580, Jan 17 at 1246 UT, WIBW Topeka KS is dominant here, but
nulling it I have some Rosary from NW/SE, then gospel tune. Presumed
KJMJ Alexandria LA, U2 5/1 kW now with REL format and RMN network per
NRC AM Log; i.e. Radio Maria Network, bilingual.

Just before CBS News at 1300 UT on WIBW, I also hear a mention of
Grand Junxion, i.e. U2 5/1 kW KUBC Montrose, Colorado (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1090, Jan 17 at 0704 UT, KAAY in dead air yet again, 0705
starts gospel music. John Wesley Smith, Hallsville MO, replies:

``This is in response to your info about KAAY, Little Rock. This past
Friday evening I heard them after 11:00 PM running TV audio with
weather info. I didn't catch what channel they were simulcasting.
There were tornadoes in the area at the time. Audio was choppy. If it
was an Internet connection to the station, it was poor. If it was a
satellite feed, or if they piped in the station from a TV antenna,
weather may have hindered reception. Obviously, somebody forgot to
switch KAAY back to normal programming for a couple of days, as you
noted. 73, John Wesley Smith`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2182, Jan 17 at 0509 UT, the mystery open carrier is
still running, four hours after first noticed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13751-USB, Jan 17 at 1602, 2-way in Spanish INTRUDERS,
the stronger one with engine noise; in a couple minutes did not hear a
single ``puta`` or ``madre``, but conversation seems inconsequential,
no mention of pescados or kilos either that I could make out (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

this report despatched at 1813 UT January 17

** CHINA. 12035, Jan 17 at 0018 YL in Chinese with musical background,
and same thing but far from synchronized on much stronger 11820. Both
read about the same on meter, S9 to S9+10 but 11820 sounds much
louder. Per Aoki, both are CRI via Xiangyang 59 site. HFCC says both
at 500 kW, 200 degrees from Xi`an. All agree that this hour 11820 is
in Cantonese, 12035 in (Standard) Chinese (rather than same language
not in synch). Xi`an and Xiangyang appear to be the same place as on
page 662 of WRTH 2020 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, Jan 16 at 0651, RHC English is very strong here
tonight, and splatter up to plus/minus 12 kHz. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15700, Jan 16 at 1543, China Plus relay in English is S9+10
but just barely modulated. Something`s always wrong at RadiioCuba
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11980, Jan 17 at 0015, CRI in Spanish, S9, i.e. the second
harmonic of 5990 which is S9+30. But the two-timer could easily be
taken for a fundamental; 5990 is on for two hours, 2300 CRI English
too. Neither EiBi nor Aoki, nor HFCC has any entry for this 11980!
Should they not show transmissions which really exist?

Wonder if same transmitter as 6100 RHC after 0500 which, MUF
permitting, also comes in strong on 12200, unlike other transmitters.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU. 5980, Jan 16 at 2352, JBA carrier from R. Chaski vs heavy
Cuban jamming against nothing else, until autocutoff at 2353:44.5*.
This time I compare it to the first timing I made in the current
cycle, which was 2355:29.5* on Nov 26, 51 days ago, so long-term
average is 105 seconds divided by 51 days = 2.0588235 seconds earlier
per noctem; altho some more recent short-term slippages have come out
slightly less than 2 seconds. Fortunately there is never enough signal
to hear any gospel programming from Radio Chaski, so this is the only
thing of interest about it.

But for the record, WRTH 2020 shows it`s OBX4M, 5 kW from Urubamba at
1000-1500 & 2200-0100! I imagine its other on/off times are slipping
by the same amount, but am not about to arise circa 4 am to find out,
which may be wrong anyway, like 0100 UT, which was shifted ~an hour
earlier a couple years ago. EiBi seems to present a more accurate
schedule; 1100-1630 & 1730-2355. In WRTH it`s CUsco station 72) with
this further info: Ca Belen 600, 08031 Urubamba; tel. 99 6783272;
radiochaski.com and chaskiradio@hotmail.com and FM on 94.9 MHz.

Guess what? that website, axually http://www.radiochaski.com is very
colorful and commercial, not religious at all, and hard to find on it,
but is a *different* Radio Chaski, this one in Trujillo, La Libertad!

Not too surprising that a common Quechua name like Chaski could be
appropriated by more than one broadcaster. I`m trying to remember what
Chaski means; like a message, communication? Google translate is no
help, not including Quechua or Kechwa on its roster, so its first
guess about chaski is Bulgarian, plural of chaska which can mean: cup,
calyx, drink, thalamus, bell, shot, chalice, receptacle, pony, or
envelope. But I digress!

One is also hard-pressed to find *any* radio frequency on its website,
MF, HF or VHF! They do webcast with some nice Andean music when I
bring it up at 0310 UT Jan 17, and suspect it`s a web-``radio`` only.
Guess what, music with no announcements until two different super-hype
IDs at 0322 and 0326 from ``1540 AM, Radio Mundial, la primera potecia
musical del norte``; and at 0329, ``Radio Mundial, éxitos de toda la
vida``. More similar IDs follow every few minutes, all
hyper-enthusiastic.

So the station $ tereo webcasting as Radio Chaski is really (relaying?)
OBU2A, 2 kW on 1540 in Trujillo, which is on the northern coast
between Chiclayo and Chimbote. Does *our* 5980 Radio Chaski have any
web presence? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Thu Jan 16 at 2259, REE starting `Amigos de la Onda
Corta`, media magazine but hardly a DX program despite the name,
revived a few months ago, at the hour reported a week ago by JRX in
Brasil; due to press of real world news, I listen only to first
pentaminute, when there is only info about domestic media in Spain; is
there ever any SW info, let alone real DX news? Recheck of skedgrid at
http://www.rtve.es/radio/radio-exterior/programacion/
now shows it added to this hour (0000 Friday local time) as well as
Thu 18 UT and Saturday 14 UT (when not on SW). It seems the Thursday
airings are repeats of Saturday. 23 UT is of course the same time that
the token mostly-music English service airs on M/W/F.

Need to find time to listen to a whole show to judge content properly;
309 of them are in archive,

** U S A. 13089-USB, Jan 16 at 1545, marine weather very distorted as
usual from USCG Chesapeake VA, NMN as scheduled 1530-1605. Incredible
they never fix this, as anyham would have enough savvy and pride to
prevent such a sound from private SSB. This frequency is timeshared
with NRV Guam, NMO Hawaii, and NMC Point Reyes CA, skeds as in EiBi.

on this off-frequency now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5890, Thu Jan 16 at 0648, WWCR on again with S9+10/20 of

** U S A. Re KMPX 30 ``29`` tropo log from Cedar Hill antenna farm
site SW of Dallas, despite city of license Decatur, which is way NW of
Fort Worth, Stephen Luce in Houston replies: ``Glenn, the "Estrella
Dos" you found on KMPX also runs on co-owned KZJL here in Houston on
virtual 61.2. Both stations are owned by LBI Media, operator of the
Estrella TV network, so the carriage of Estrella Dos may be limited to
network O&O's as far as OTA availability.``

My remark that Estrella Dos was only on KMPX based on rabbitears.info
search on that `network` turning up nothing but KMPX. Just rechedked
directly, that still has only Estrella 61-1 for KZJL, physical 21.1. I
guess if the horoscope show be simulcast, local Houston phone numbers
replace Metroplexians? It`s not often we are ahead of rabbitears info

UNIDENTIFIED. 2182.0-AM, Jan 17 at 0106 past 0121 UT, S9 open carrier
with slight fading. This used to be a very important frequency,
maritime phone calling and distress, but fell into disuse many years
ago, and I`ve rarely heard any activity on it as I bandscan across. I
figured it was deliberately not 2180 to avoid MW harmonix from 1090.
Despite all his utility info, EiBi shows nothing on 2182 now. UDXF
logs indicate most 2182 activity in Europe, but this carrier is
obviously quite close (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
