Make that 1470.065 or so for the computed fundamental, not 1470.65; fixed:

UNIDENTIFIED. 2940.129, March 1 at 0049, JBA carrier presumed second
harmonic from some LAm or NAm broadcaster on 1470.065 or so. Another
measurement March 1 at 0658 puts it on 2940.132. Others closer and/or
with better antenna gain and/or with less noise should be able to ID
this (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15140, Feb 28 at 1539, RHC carrier off and on and off and on.
When it comes back, dead air at first, then music modulation re-
applied. 11760 also dead Feb 28 at 1543 before music cuts on.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. During brief 15140 offnesses,
probably a trace of OMAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13780, March 1 at 1510, RHC still on but undermodulated; off
by 1525 check when 13700 is S9+30 of dead air; 15700 CRI relay at 1510
is undermodulated but not distorted, sufficient with volume up. 15140
at 1526, RHC is dead air, while 15230 is undermodulated. Somethings
are always wrongs at RHC/RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) See also SAUDI ARABIA

** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. 11820.02, Feb 28 at 2240, SRI/SBA Qur`aning
poor signal but enough to lullabye my nap, until abrupt chopoff at
2300* -- Allah`ll get`em for that?

Trying again March 1 at 2220 for a more precise reading, SA is JBA, vs
another even weaker carrier closer to 11820.00 --- since nothing is
scheduled there, suspect it is a second-order spur from 11840 RHC,
doubled beyond the constant first-order one on 11830.

While checking 11820 in EiBi, I see an adjacent interesting entry:
``11825.5 1300-1330 HKG FEBC Radio Liangyou KHA Tib /PHL-b``
i.e. a Hong Kong ``station`` in the Khams dialect of Tibetan via FEBC
Bocaue, Philippines site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LSTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 12030, Thu Feb 28 at 2236, REE VG S9+10 discussing The
Virgin Mary in Spanish, monogamy, alternating with ARABIC --- not
clear which one is translating the other originally; but not // 11945
& 9690 in Castilian only. WRTH 2019 mentions that REE webcasts in
Arabic, but does not show any SW schedule for it; and nothing at all
about Spain in the Feb 4 update.

12030 is the ME-beam frequency which nevertheless arrives here well
off the back (sometimes propagating better than 9690 direct). EiBi
does not show any Arabic either, but there is Sephardic/Ladino Sundays
only at 2230-2300 on 12030. WRTH asterisks that as a cutaway from
Spanish at same time on all four frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 5960, UT Fri March 1 at 0045, German at S9+10 fading to S7,
so yet again VOT sloppyrators at Emirler have left this transmitter on
an extra hour after English; will The Mighty Farty KBC stay here,
taking their chances on UT Sundays, until the bitter end of B-18?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490.19, UT Fri March 1 at 0055, WBCQ with `Camp
Constitution Radio``, 0100 ``WTO`` and into an `AWWW` repeat, which
must be plenty old since ``it`s a balmy night``, and the tenth
monthiversary of A&A togetherness (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 3215, 4840, 5890, Feb 28 at 0721-0725, 75% of WWCR
transmitters are on the air without modulation. Only 5935 is
modulating, S9-S7 poor. 3215, S9+20 with hum and 5890, S9-S7, would
normally be off the air at this time, while 4840, S9+20 would be TOMBS
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, Feb 28 at 1929, no signal audible from KVOH, unlike
yesterday. Wolfgang Bueschel explained Feb 27 while 17774.989 was well
audible on the east coast, ``17 MHz reception behind 1st skip at least
need 2500 kilometers distance. To Enid_OK 1890 kilometer distance
only`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 880-CUSB, March 1 at 0701, praise music mixing with KRVN Fox
``News``, while tuning LSB I have KRVN Nebraska without the QRMusic;
therefore it is KHAC Tse Bonito NM/Window Rock AZ, secretly known for
suppressing its LSB; not especially strong and maybe really not on 10
kW ND day power now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1130, Feb 28 at 1534 UT check, KLEY Wellington KS is still
on the air with rock music; and also March 1 at 2216 UT. It could
crash again at any moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Re my hearing a Spanish, Radio Vida on 1480 instead of
Vietnamese, KBXD The Metroplex: ``Glenn, to further the update on
1480: In just the past few days KLVL [Pasadena TX] has started running
the Radio Vida religious format // to KRCM 1380, so that is what you
heard. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas``, Feb 27, WOR iog via DXLD)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2940.129, March 1 at 0049, JBA carrier presumed second
harmonic from some LAm or NAm broadcaster on 1470.65 or so. Another
measurement March 1 at 0658 puts it on 2940.132. Others closer and/or
with better antenna gain and/or with less noise should be able to ID

** CUBA. 12140, Feb 27 at 1345, JBA carrier, so I try again to match
trace of modulation to RHC and barely do so // 11950 as leapfrog
fulcrum of 11760; rather than Quwait fundamental. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15700, Feb 27 at 1512, China Plus relay of CRI English is
S9+20 but suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN. 6055, Feb 27 at 1321, R Nikkei 1 with English lesson,
phrases by OM alternating with Japanese by YL, something about yuan
market prices in Shanghai, perhaps a regular Wednesday feature. A bit
earlier it was not heard on 3925 which is supposed to be on from the
other site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAO TOME. 13590.058, Feb 27 at 1933, S7-S9 of off-frequency news in
Special English about Indo-Pak conflict, i.e. VOA as scheduled via
Pinheira; their 6080 is also noticeably askew (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 9335, Feb 27 at 1328, 1 kHz tone, 1329 Yankee Doodle
and VOA sign-on, 1330 Cambodian via Tinang, S3-S4 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1971 monitoring: confirmed
Wednesday February 27 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, fair and 4 seconds later
on WBCQ 7490+, good S9+10. At 2220 I noticed another WBCQ is on the
air, 5130.469, JBA, and yes, it`s WOR. But off at next check 2230.

Also confirmed UT Thursday February 28 at 0000 on WRMI 7730, VG, but
by 0015 recheck it`s dumped to music fill, same as last week when
first discovered by Richard Lemke. Yes, WOR is now on the sked for
half an hour. 0030 starts Wavescan with no problem. I miss checking
next airing at 0100 on WRMI 7780. Next, not until:

** U S A. 5130.035, Feb 27 at 0734, surprised to find JBA carrier here
with a trace of modulation; WBCQ running this transmitter on a
frequency adjusted closer to nominal. Now also JBAC around 3264.9. 5
MHz frequency also on during WOR at 2220, but back to higher offset
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, Feb 27 at 1512 and 1705, no signal audible from KVOH,
but Ray Robinson assures me it`s back on the air. Finally at 1926 I
can hear it propagating with praise music in Spanish, S9 to S9+10
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2940.133, Feb 27 at 0729, JBA carrier from suspected
second harmonic such as Cali, which would make the fundamental about
1470.655. Or MWoffsets has WBCR, Alcoa TN on 1470.63; NRC AM Log says
77 watts at night. Perhaps a DXer in Maryville/Alcoa could confirm the
offset and harmonic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. Re: ``12140, Feb 18 at 1237, JBA carrier as I check for
possible leapfrog of both very strong 11760 over 11950 another 190 kHz
beyond; 12140 is weaker than 12300 = 2 x 6150. Something`s always
wrong at RHC. At this early hour, 15140 & 15230 are JBA carriers,
while 13780.0 not way-off frequency today, has built up to good level,
the OSOB, and no spurs on 13 or 15 MHz``

Altho I am of course partial to Cuban leapfrogs, as a JBA carrier,
12140 at this time could also have been fundamentally IBB Kuwait, 250
kW at 70 degrees, during the scheduled multi-hour Dari/Pashto Radio
Azadi service (Glenn Hauser, Feb 25, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15700, Feb 26 at 1448, CRI Plus relay is S9+30 but suptorted
with modulation spikes only, continuing a slightly different wrongness
from one day to the next (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1971, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 9690, Monday Feb 25 at 2309, REE`s Justin Coe ending some
news about the Catalunya demonstration situation, before he can get
back to some flamenco guitar music, his continuing tribute to Paco de
LucÃa, apparently on the fifth anniversary of his death. Ken Zichi has
also noted how this service is mainly music, evidently according to
Coe`s preferences, rather than an emphasis on news (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WORLD OF RADIO 1971, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 4102.3, Feb 26 at 0730, the ``W`` beacon somewhere in the
California desert. Sends that ID a few times a minute, but in between
series of dits which signify wind speed on its anemometer, and other
readings, battery voltage and temp. Steve McGreevy explains in the WOR
iog how he located the thing almost 20 years ago; and that the `A`
(only) beacon on 2097.3 we also hear is not in Quartzsite AZ, altho he
does not know exactly where (Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 1971, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1970: confirmed Monday Feb 25 at 2345 the
2330 on WRMI 9955, fair but fading by 2355. NOT confirmed UT Tuesday
Feb 26 at 0045 the 0030 on WRMI 7730, which is off the air (while 7570
and 7780 continue). JBA in noise level Tuesday Feb 26 at 2055 the 2030
on WRMI 7780. I`m about 24 hours behind in accumulating material so

** U S A. 5970, Feb 26 at 1456, open carrier of S9-S8 past 1500,
apparently WEWN, despite daytime Spanish frequency 12050 already on
too. Altho the schedule would imply a single transmitter switches
between 5970 and 12050, Glen Tapley once explained to me that they
axually use different transmitters for high and low bands (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, Feb 26 at 1502, 1529, 1659, 1901, still no signal
from KVOH, altho Ray Robinson of KVOH notified me at 2339 UT Feb 25,
``We're back! It was a lot more complex than it appeared originally,
and multiple components had to be replaced. It also took a lot longer
than we anticipated, but we're back. Testing now.`` I don`t know if he
meant on the air yet at that unusual hour as I was not monitoring then
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Re 620, my log of KEXB, The Metroplex now in Spanish 05-11
UT, Wayne Heinen, Editor of NRC AM Radio Log replies Feb 24 on the
nrc-am gg:

``Checking my overnight recording about one session a week, I find the
first instance of Radio Oasis the morning of January 23 with solid
KEXB ID's at TOH. Still finishing up the morning of December 29 and
KEXB was still running programs from BizTalk.com overnight`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Re 1120, my log of KCRN, Wayne Heinen, Editor, NRC AM Radio
Log replies Feb 24 on the nrc-am gg:

``As to Limon on 1120, only calls heard so far are old canned KLIM
even though the CDBS lists them as KCRN nowâ 73``

Paul Walker, Laramie, WY also replies, as I had found 1120 // 1060:
``Just an FYI guys, Catholic Radio Network has been told 1120 is IDing
improperly. It became KCRN in 12/2018 and still IDs as KLIM.

They had some kind of failure Saturday [Feb 23], leaving them with a
dead carrier, then completely off for awhile. When they came back,
they had a network-wide conga-line-style ID. Normally, KLIM/KCRN IDs
by itself and its programming is usually separate from 1060 KRCN.
That 1060 usually runs the same feed as KEXS 1090 Kansas City and 1120
runs something else, but when 1120 came back on, it was running the
same feed at KRCN 1060, at least temporarily`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1130, Feb 25 at 1926 UT, rock music means KLEY Wellington
KS, 250 watts at daytime, is back on the air after missing for weeks
if not months. Yes, 1932 local weather, and ``From the Wheat Capital
of the World, The Wave 100.3 and 1130``. OK signal, no breaking up.
Didn`t get it checked whether still on air next day.

As for slogan, Enid might dispute that, but how do you rate a Wheat
Capital? Total grain elevator storage capacity, and whether full every
harvest season? It seems that Enid has the third-largest capacity in
the world; I bet Wellington can`t beat that, but it has made the most
of the WC designation. Its county, Sumner, previously got official
Kansas state designation as W.C., and it was just another step up for
Wellington to the World? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1480, Feb 25 at 2322 UT, another check for Vietnamese on
KBXD Dallas. Today it`s making a SAH of 96/minute or 1.6 Hz vs KQAM
Wichita. YL is speaking, but the more I hear, the less certain am I
that it be Vietnamese at this time; certainly a tonal SE Asian
language, perhaps Khmer, which is sort of a mix between Viet and
Thai/Lao as the geography would imply. Or maybe Viet with a peculiar
accent; or a tribal dialect? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 3237.0, Feb 26 at 0740, dead air at S8, goes off, and
back on. Maybe a ute (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST

** CHINA [and non]. 9825, Feb 24 at 1417, CCCCCCI, i.e. Chinese
Communist Chinese language co-channel interference, CNR1 jamming of
VOA Mandarin via Tinang, PHILIPPINES. Also checked Feb 25 at 1459 with
LAH until CNR1 off at 1500* leaving VOA ``Washington DC`` sign-off in

** SOUTH AFRICA. See USA: WRMI

** U S A. 9955, Mon Feb 25 at 1421 as I tune in WRMI, during AWR
`Wavescan` Jeff White is making a brief update to his report two weeks
ago from HFCC Tunis that Sentech might be closing down its Meyerton
SOUTH AFRICA, SW transmitter site at Marchend --- now it`s confirmed!
As of March 31, end of B-18 season. Says BBCWS relays will be moved to
MGLOB MADAGASCAR; Channel Africa might continue on internet only.

Responses to this already: Bill Bingham says to the WOR iog:

``I wouldn't be surprised to see it return in the future, probably in
a new guise, and as DRM only. That would seem to fit with our
government's apparent fascination with all things digital. Either
that, or one hand at Sentech doesn't know what the other hand is
doing. As of October 2018 it seemed that shortwave was here for years
to come:

Bill Bingham, Jo'burg, RSA``

Jose Jacob, India, who also forwarded the Wavescan announcement:

``The online schedule of Channel Africa shows that their schedule is
till 27 March 2019. It is an odd date as the B 18 schedule ends only
on 30 March 2019. So they may go off early???

later UT Tuesday) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, Monday Feb 25 at 1515, still no signal from KVOH;
OSOB is a JBA carrier on 17780 from BBC Ascension. Ditto both at 1734
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Re my previous reports of Vietnamese from KBXD, Stephen
Luce, Houston replied Feb 22: ``Glenn, regarding Vietnamese on 1480:
KLVL in the Houston market is currently running a Spanish language
religious format, mostly music, so not them. This "brokered time"
station has had several different programmers with short-lived formats
recently. KBXD in DFW can really get out during critical hours; it
often severely bothers KLVL at my NW Harris County QTH.``

1480, Feb 25 at 1348 UT, I`m rechecking for Vietnamese from KBXD, but
never hear any; in fact, suspect KBXD Dallas is off. KQAM The Big
Talker, Wichita is dominant so anything else is fighting it when
nulled as much as possible. First I`m getting a gospel huxter in
English (San Antonio or Memphis?); at 1400 while KQAM is in local
news, something else in Spanish, same station switched or different?
Mention AC 713, so that`s Houston, and 1402 Radio Vida slogan, which
is not listed for KLVL Pasadena. Now there is a SAH of 2 Hz, rather
than 0.75 Hz I measured Feb 15 between KQAM and KBXD. But this could
still be KBXD varying slightly in frequency and varying greatly in
programmation.

There is a Radio Vida in Dallas, but website has no info on a
frequency or callsign! http://radiovidadallas.com/ altho stereo praise
music in Spanish autolaunches. And it seems the Radio Vida in Houston
is on 1380. This is all very confusing. There are other 1480s in TN,
KS, CO and TX which could be involved in this mixture; but at least
the NM one is gone.

At 1407, KQAM starts ``hour 3 of Voice of Reason`` [sic] on this
``conservative talk`` station, which is also on FM, and live on KCTT-
TV, I thought he said, but the closest call to that of a real TV
station in Wichita is low-power KCTU (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4260, Feb 25 at 1358 UT, JBA talk, still there with R75
preamps off so think it`s a real signal, not overload, and most likely
a 3rd harmonic of something on 1420. But at hourtop I`m more concerned
with the mixture on 1480. At 1411, 4260 ruled out mix with strongest
locals on 960 & 1390, but too weak to be sure when I compare to 1640
