** CUBA. 12300, Feb 5 at 1349, JBA second harmonic of RHC 6150; I
don`t usually scan this area, but seek it since Wolfgang Bueschel
recently heard it remotely with a strong signal; not today, but nearby
fundamentals are very strong: 11950 S9+40 and 11760 S9+10/20.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13634, 13767, 13833, 13900 approx., Feb 5 at 1450, FMish
spurs out of 13700-AM RHC, but extremely distorted and unreadable in
any mode; standard intervals of about 67 kHz above and below.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13779.24, Feb 5 at 1453, this RHC fundamental at S9+20 has
again been knocked way off-frequency from 13780.00. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15370, Feb 5 at 2152, RHC is VP S5, JBM in Arabic? As
supposed to be per EiBi until 2200, then a bihour of Spanish; so no
constellation of FM spurs audible today; might have been if a regular
bigsig and modulation. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR. 9515, Feb 5 at 2027, S4-S6 of lo-key music, seems like
a repeating loop, so IS? Listed as AWR French via Talata from 2000,
125 kW at 320 degrees also USward. Off at 2028* without announcement

** U S A. 7490.17v, Tue Feb 5 at 2032, WBCQ S9-S6 with mixture of
blues and country music, then ``Pirate Joe Extravaganzo`` as J. P.
Ferraro`s show earlifies WBCQ sign-on Tuesdays only to *2000 (from DST
season even earlier *1900 despite increasing daytime absorption); 2046
``WHVW`` singing ID for his own originating station in Hyde Park NY
(Poughkeepsie address), which on 950 is only 500/57 watts U1 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475-, Feb 5 at 2028, no signal from WTWW-1 --- oh oh, has
Ted done it again, left the night frequency on allday? Evidently, as
5830 is indeed on at S9+10/20 with PPPP. But 5085, WTWW-2 is not on
now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 750, Feb 5 at 1404 UT, `Newstalk 750 KBNN and 104.3``, i.e.
5 kW ND daytimer in Lebanon MO, overcoming KMMJ. Seldom heard other
than at sunrise; last logged April 25. NRC AM Log has no FM. WTFDA DB
shows no 104.3 corresponding either, but per both, KMMJ Nebraska
*does* have a 104.3 translator. Sure did not sound like it at the
time, but the ID I heard must have been a mixture of the two. KBNN
website is the least important part of http://www.myozarksonline.com/
cluster, showing little about it except a low-res logo and link to
public file. The logo does say Talk, if not News-Talk, while KMMJ is
religious (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 405 kHz, Feb 5 at 1340 UT just after sunrise, NDB HRU, which
is 25 watts from Herington, Kansas, south of Junxion City on US 77
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 420 kHz, Feb 5 at 0730 UT, two JBA NDBs clashing at same
pitch, very hard to unravel; no dash, not Canadian. DXinfocentre.com
shows only four Americans, all 25 watts: CFY, Lake City-Evans SC; FQ,
Fairmont MN; PK, Olathe-Herbb KS; TU, Tupelo-Verona MS.

I`ve heard FQ before, and PK would be the closest. Classaxe.com shows
additional details such as frequency offset (meaning A2 pitch?), and
length in seconds of each ID sending. From that, the closet pitch
matches would be CFY and PK, both 1018 USB, periods 5.7 and 5.5, which
means that very slowly their overlap will be shifting. FQ is not close
enough, at 1035 Hz; rules out TU at only 383 USB. All four have been
logged this year (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5055-USB, Feb 5 at 1358, weak 2-way in Spanish rather
than 4KZ; various numbers but seems weather info, also verbalizing
mÃxima, nublado, fresco, evaporaciÃn (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15345.069, Feb 5 at 1524, JBA carrier I have often
noticed before but not measured precisely. Look it up: Nothing on
15345 ever in HFCC, EiBi and Aoki! Could it be another Cuban spur I
have overlooked? It is 205.069 kHz above 15140, but not a multiple of
28.6. Maybe a spur of something else or a local device? Try for it
again three sesquihours later at 1954: yes, JBAC still there but
slightly shifted to 15345.053.

Unless anyone else hear it, I shall conclude it`s local, inaudible
beyond my radio room. (Computer produces many more stronger birdies on
SW which I always ignore.) Remember when 15345 had two variable off-
frequency stations het-clashing, Argentina and Morocco? Now both gone
from SW as if they knocked each other out (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. (5130.47), UT Mon Feb 4 at 0550, WBCQ presumably still on
late along with Area 51 webcast amid `Hobart Radio International`,
which must have started about 0534 instead of 0430, with ``Jordan`s
Corner``, featuring some old DX recordings including KULA, RENB, KYOY

here from suspended IBC Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7780, Feb 4 at 2250 on caradio, RAE relay in Italian; by
2255 it`s over, and Bob Biermann ID claims to be on 9395 (only)! into
gospel music fill until 2300 cut to Blalock the Blaster. It seems that
WRMI is no longer always trying to ID at :59 or :29, even if there is
a break between programs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Correct date for the MW bandscan from 2015 UT was Jan 30,
not 20 as typo in original report (gh, DXLD)

** U S A. 770, Feb 4 at 1401 UT, KKOB Albuquerque in well with local
news and traffic, on 50 kW ND a quarter-hour earlier now in February.

660, Feb 4 at 1401 UT, not hearing KTNN at first vs TX/NE?, maybe late
switch to 50 kW ND day, but there it is at 1408 UT in Navajo with lots
of English inserted like ``Senate Indian Affairs Committee``, and 1411
would you believe a Homecare Solutions LLC commercial mostly in
Navajo. Fading out by 1413 while 770 KKOB is still in.

880-CUSB, Feb 4 at 1415 UT, finally getting some KHAC with gospel
huxter in English, KRVN nulled.

Re: "But the DB makes no connexion with KHAC 880, despite a blank
field for // source of programming! Likewise, the NRC AM Log entry for
880 KHAC makes no mention of any FM (nor the very significant fact
that 880 suppresses LSB)."

Wayne Heinen, Editor AM Radio Log, replies: ``Glenn, Addition of
slogan "Western Indian Network" was published in DX News in September
after the Log was completed. Also they are not totally in // with the
FM they have separate programming. The reports I received indicated
that KWIM is generally //KTBA-760``

``Wayne, O yes, I think we had a similar exchange previously. All I
know is that when I logged 880 they were jointly IDing with 104.9``

1000, Feb 4 at 1419 UT, gospel huxter in English making slow SAH with

** VATICAN [non?]. 15635, Feb 4 at 1456, here`s something new: speaker
in Arabic just as loud as the voice-over flying translation to
English, maybe live? Defends the Muslim world. Mentions ``holy
father`` and ``my brother the pope``, S9-S5, continues past 1500; 1504
announcer says ``you are listening to Grand Imam ----`` something, and
more. But off at 1510 recheck. Smax of an ad-hoc Vatican Radio
broadcast, but why?

Because pope is visiting UAE, so maybe a live event. Later I see this:

``Vatican Media is going to have two special broadcasts on occasion of
the Papal trip to UAE, namely:

Monday 4th February 2019, UT 1400-1515
15635 kHz, English, to the Gulf / Horn of Africa
11835 kHz, Arabic, to Middle East

Tuesday 5th February 2019, UT 0550-0800
15645 kHz, English, to the Gulf / Horn of Africa
11810 kHz, Arabic, to Middle East``
(Mauno Ritola on WRTH - World Radio Tv Handbook Facebook group,
3 Feb via Alan Pennington, bdxc-news iog)

Guess what: the only 15635 entry in the latest HFCC of Feb 1 is a
``reservation`` by Lviv, Ukraine at 06-08 UT! That`ll be the day.

So is this direct from SMG with typical huge backlobe, if aimed toward
the ME; or is it some other relay such as MADAGASCAR, which could also
provide such a good signal here, unlike much else from E Hemisphere on
19m now?

I suspect the latter, since known SMG site on nearby 15550, the Sudan
Service of FPU, even tho 250 kW at 150 degrees, is much weaker (Glenn

A couple slight correxions:

Add that it was dead air:

** CUBA. 5990, Feb 3 at 0116, S9+10/20 of dead air;
obviously the sloppyrators at
RadioCuba have failed to turn off the
CRI relay transmitter before
0100. Too bad that RHC English next
door on 6000 is notably weaker,
only S9+10 but suptorted; while // 6165
is sufficient. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,

before 1230, not 2030:

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1967
monitoring: confirmed Saturday
February 2 at 1230 on WRMI 9955, VP S1
but readable. Before 1230 it
should have been on 5045-LSB, Unique
Radio, NSW, as on alternate
weeks.

** CUBA. Feb 2 from 1452 I survey the galaxy of JBA wobblespurs out of
RHC 15140: quickly these are estimates based on approx. zero-beating,
rather than precise measurements: 15397.45, 15368.85, 15311.62,
15283.1, 15025.4, 14968.35, 14939.75, 14911.1, 14882.57=stronger,
14853.91, 14825.34, 14796.75, 14768.1.

Now the separations between them, skipping a few spots: 28.60, 57.23,
28.52, 257.7, 57.05, 28.60, 28.65, 28.53, 28.66, 28.57, 28.59, 28.65.
The lowest one heard, 14768.1, is 13 x 28.6077! Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15370-AM, Feb 2 at 2056, RHC has resumed FM transmissions out
of this AM transmitter at multiple points across the 19m band. The
closests are quite strong S9 and broad about 10 kHz wide with almost
full quieting, so hard to pinpoint center carriers. 15505 noted first,
then 15435, 15304, 15235, 15167, 15102, 15037, 14968, 14898. The
intervals are somewhere between 65 and 70 kHz. All accompanied by
signature F# tone above Cmiddle, and the only giveaway for the very
weakest at the outer limits.

Service is in French and // 15140, which unlike in the morning with
multiple JBA spurs, is not the source of this bunch. At 2102 I search
for higher ones: approx. 15569, 15637, and measure the top two:
15703.41 and 15772.34. The last one is +402.34 kHz from 15370, and = 6
x 67.05, while the next one is 5 x 66.68 away.

Then at 2103 I notice that the strongest spurs are equally clear when
tuned in AM mode as in FM --- how do they do that? Notably 15435,
15505, 15305, 15235. At 2131, language has switched to Portuguese and
15140 has gone off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** FINLAND [non]. 5980, Feb 2 at 1740, it`s the first Saturday and tnx
to a reminder from Manuel MÃndez, Spain, since I have UTwente running
about Nigeria/Spain clashing 9690, I also check for the monthly
Scandinavian Weekend Radio 100-watt broadcast when it is supposed to
be on 5980 and 11720: nothing heard on 11720, and 5980 fully occupied
by Turkey with a crazy-wild silly ballgame in Turkish (same one as on
Spain?). 6170 trace of a signal but that could be VOK; nothing heard
on 11690 either. SWR has previously been reported slightly off-
frequency which might be helpful in differentiating it from the
competition. But why in the world go head to head with 500 kW from
Turkey?? Schedule is subject to variation. Supposed to be 11720 & 5980

** NIGERIA. 7255- and 9690-, Feb 2 at 0705, no signals from VON (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA [and non]. 9689.97, Sat Feb 2 from 1607: Wild & crazy silly
ballgame on `Tablero Deportivo` from REE 9690.00 has QRM from low het
to low side, just like Nigeria provides normally after 1900 weekdays.
By 1641, I`m listening via UTwente with enough audio in the huge
collision to tell it is in English. Maybe CRI? But no IS or ID break
noted at ToH 1700. At 1714: just heard a Voice of Nigeria ID in
passing, ending program credits. By 1725, VON is gaining, and/or REE
is fading a bit; outro for program `Women and Development` with Lagos
address; still going past 1730. WRTH shows no VON at all between 09
and 18 UT, and 9690 only as alternate to 7255. Nor EiBi between 08 and
18. Aoki shows VON Swahili/Yoruba/Igbo at 1600-1730. So VON has a new
English block, rather than African languages, at least on Saturday
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR iog via DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Feb 1 at 2300, REE English service is playing
``Kisses, Sweeter than Wine``, by The Weavers. Again, what has such
music to do with Spain? This time I keep listening and when it ends
Justin Coe introduces a report about a visit to a tourist trade fair
and a bodega - winery (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3299-USB, UT Sun Feb 3 at 0120, AF MARS net with AFD4TN
``for net control``, contact with AFD4FL, while net designator is
4TX1, all fonetikaly. Completed rollcall at 0121, counting 40
checkins. I suspect suffices -TN and -FL stand for Tennessee and
Florida (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1967 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
February 2 at 1230 on WRMI 9955, VP S1 but readable. Before 2030 it
should have been on 5045-LSB, Unique Radio, NSW, as on alternate
weeks.

Sat Feb 2 after 1531 on HLR 9485-CUSB, inaudible here and at UTwente
SDR; but Alan Gale, England, reports: ``Hi Glenn, Still no sign of
World of Radio via HLR here at 1530 UT again, but a tune around
various webSDRs brought up a very good signal via the one in Italy at:
http://kiwisdr.briata.org:8073/
You might like to check this out; at least we now know that the
signal is propagating to the south at any rate. Alan``

Also confirmed Sat Feb 2 at 2200 on WRMI, 9955, S9+/S6 and no jamming
yet. Next:

** U S A. 7520, UT Sun Feb 3 at 0350, S9+10/20 of drama in Russian.
It`s WHRI`s weekly one hour on this frequency, aimed at Russia, but
language disinformation, listed on own FBC sked as in English, and as
if on 7385, which is off now but presumably on air the other six
nights. Only other active WHRI frequency now is 5920 in English.

Hansjoerg Biener confirms QSLing WHRI a year ago, during Your Story
Hour really in Russian; and last week, John Dusek wondered where the
Russian on 7520 was coming from, Jan 27 at 0320, ``a radio sitcom or
play of some sort.``

Only HFCC admits this is in Russian/English, at 03-04 on Day 7 only =
Saturday, but this is about Day 1 = Sunday: usual confusion over local
vs UT days. WRTH 2019 pp 505-506 shows no 7520 nor any language but
English for WHRI! EiBi showed 7520 on air from WHRI only Saturdays 03
-04 and in English! More confusion about UT day. Aoki misses 7520 WHRI
completely.

I know WHRI briefly in Russian Saturday nights has been reported
before but even FBC`s own current sked does not produce it. Frequency
search includes 7.520 on dropdown as a possible one, but gets no hits.
Nor does searching all frequencies in language: Russian. Then I
inspected the program schedules for Angels 1, 2, 5 and 6. Nothing on
1, 5 or 6, but 2 is the one supposedly targeting Russia, and it
includes this entry at the time John was listening:

``0315-0300 10:15 PM-10:00 PM Su Messianic Word Pictures Tracy Still
7.385 Mhz``

[sic!] I guess they meant 0315-0330, 10:15-10:30 PM unless they get
time to flow in reverse. Google searches on keywords get no
significant results except back to the WHR sked. And:

``0330-0400 10:30 PM-11:00 PM Su Your Story Hour 7.385 Mhz``

And 0300-0315 occupied by IRN News presumably in English, then 10
minutes of LeSEA music (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6880, Feb 2 at 0238, S9-S6 carrier, seems JB modulated
with music; again at 0309 check. This happens to be 2 x 3440, a
sometimes active pirate channel, such as Wolverine Radio, but at best
there is a JBA carrier there. No reports at this time in HFUnderground
about either, but several have appeared on 6880 last year or two
