** AUSTRALIA. 5055, Jan 26 at 1158, very poor music JBA, presumably
4KZ Queensland; snooze and next check at 1450, still a JBA carrier
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 9630.5, Jan 26 at 0702, no signal from R. Aparecida, and
has been missing for several nights now at various chex (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 366, Jan 26 at 0718, ND beacon, dash and YMW, which is 500
watts from Maniwaki, Quebec. See also USA for five more (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [non]. 6020, Jan 26 at 0342, bad collision between two
stations: CRI in Chinese via ALBANIA to North America; and some
Arabish language with brief English clip, about as strong, i.e. per
HFCC, FPU via MADAGASCAR at 0330-0400, 250 kW at 327 degrees, which is
also USward! I.e. really Radio Tamazuj for Sudan South (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9720, Jan 25 at 2249, RHC in English, S9+20, so manages to
emit proper language this hour today! Something`s not wrong at RHC.
This is supposedly aimed 130 degrees toward South Africa, but a bigsig
back here where I bet they reach a lot more listeners than after
midnight there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5990, Jan 26 at 0015, CRI Spanish relay is suptorted =
modulation suppressed and distorted. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba. Mark Coady, Ont., monitored the same the earlier hour in
English: ``5990 CUBA CRI at 2301 with a woman with âCRI Newsâ - Fair
signal but absolutely crappy audio Jan 25 Coady-ON â Another example
of how Cuba treats their customers with disrespect and contempt``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15700, Jan 26 at 1510, CRI English relay is S9+30 but
distorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 4081-USB, Jan 26 at 0348 music must be a pirate (in
absence of any to be heard on 6.9 MHz band), but unfortunately this
lands right amid local-device blob (cable box or computer?) which I
cannot evade. 0350 YL (Synthyl?) ID as ``You are tuned to ----
shortwave radio ----``, followed by a 6-note tune repeated over & over
(IS?), 0354 on to heavy beat music; 0405 another YL ID, ``Thank you
for listening to ----`` but again cannot copy the significant words,
and off. Answer is here from a few other logs:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,50427.0.html
Mix Radio International, heard as early as 0230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. RF19, Jan 26 at 1555 UT, KAUT OKC ex-RF-40 is barely
decoding, during minor Level-1 tropo enhancement over central OK, also
southern KS, maybe source of some of the only other non-normal Bad
signals on RF 22, 31, 42. I suspect it`s just the tropo, KAUT not yet
up to repacked par; nothing visible in afternoon (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 9739.920, Jan 26 at 1516, VP S2-S3 wobbly carrier, gone
already at 1528. Only thing scheduled is AWR Nepali via Trincomalee,
traditionally off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTEING DIGEST)

** SWAZILAND. 9585, Jan 26 at 1513, S5-S7 in Special French about
Dieu, J-C. It`s 100 kW TWR at 1455-1525 in Malgache/French at 64
degrees, following another 1418-1453 in other languages at 5 degrees.
May well be the only African on band now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 25 at 2303, no signal from V of Turkey English to
NAm; by 2344 a JBA carrier, from Urumqi *2330? VOT should be audible,
as Romania DRM noise is detectable around 5980. Seems this
transmission is missing more often than not. In case Emirler
sloppyrators keep forgetting to change frequencies after previous
nocturnal emissions, or are sound asleep, these are they, frequencies
to check after 2300 in absence of 5960:

-2130 French on 9625, 5970
-2200 Turkish on 6120, 5980
-2230 English on 9610
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 383, Jan 26 at 0708 UT, ND beacon CNP, which is 25 watts
from Chappell, Nebraska, which is on I-80 midway between Ogalalla and
Sidney just above the NE Colorado frontier.

379, Jan 26 at 0710, ND beacon RUE, which is 25 watts from
Russellville, Arkansas. I`m tuned to 380-USB mixing with two others
all at different pitches, this one lowest. Russellville, halfway
between Fort Smith and Little Rock on I-40, barely escapes the NE
quadrant to here, into the SE.

382, Jan 26 at 0712, ND beacon SP mixing with RUE, but SP at a higher
pitch as I am still tuned to 380, i.e. 25 watts from Springfield,
Illinois. I would much rather hear the SP on 386, 50 watts from St
Pierre as in Miquelon.

380?, Jan 26 at 0715, as I am still tuned to 380, a third and weakest
beacon is fading out and in at highest pitch, BXN? The only letter I
am certain of is B-. Nothing very close to match at DXinfocentre,
beyond 380 BBD Brady TX; or per
https://www.classaxe.com/dx/ndb/rna/signal_list
380, UBX in Cuba, Missouri, but not logged since Dec 2005. Ideas?

375, Jan 26 at 0717, ND beacon DS, which is 25 watts from Searcy,
Arkansas, NE of Little Rock, and home of Harding Univ., where an early
HS girlfriend escaped from Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1966 monitoring: Ivo Ivanov,
Bulgaria confirms: ``GERMANY, Reception of World of Radio via HLR on
6190 CUSB, Jan 26:
https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2019/01/reception-of-world-of-radio-via-hlr-on_22.html
0730-0800 6190 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg to CeEu English Sat, fair signal``

I`m awake Sat Jan 26 at 1200 so confirm WINB 9265 is off, no longer
carrying Unique Radio programming including WOR. Unique Radio itself
in NSW would be airing WOR at this time but alternate weeks, Feb 2 &
16, so no signal now, but I am getting bits of 5055, see AUSTRALIA.
I`m asleep again, so unchecked at 1230 for WOR on WRMI 9955.

Next to check is 9485-CUSB from 1531 Sat for Hamburger Lokalradio with
WOR --- as usual, absolutely no signal here, but none either via
UTWente SDR when brought up at 1553. Alan Gale, England, also reports:

``Hi Glenn, Yet again nothing was heard on 9485 kHz here so I can't
confirm if World of Radio was on or not. I thought conditions might
have improved a bit now as the days get longer, but no luck so far. I
will keep making my weekly check just in case it returns again. Alan``

** U S A. Survey of what`s on the WRMIs, Friday Jan 25 at 2250+:

9955, VORW
9395 // 7780, Spanish poetry about the tango, i.e. RAE relay; supposed
to be RAE Italian on 7780, Oldies on 9395; or RAE Italian on both
5950, bass strumming, Italian talk, so RAE relay; both 5950 & 9395
supposed to be Oldies
5850, gospel huxter in English, on air Fri only: Yeshua P&P, which
knocked WOR out of this good slot several months ago
5010, Spanish not // 9395/7780 where RAE Spanish supposed to be (only)
4980, SMTV in Spanish at the moment

And checking the same at 2304+ Friday Jan 25:

9955, Spanish DX program about El Salvador: La Rosa de Tokio
9395 // 5950, also SMTV, no echo! 9395 supposed to be Oldies
7780, Blalock the Blaster with huxtergasms
7570, dead air. TOM supposed to start at 2300
5850, Radio Tirana in English, VG, Fridays only
5010, not checked; Family Radio Programa A is scheduled
4980, SMTV with echo on audio; see above 9395 // 5950
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7489.890, Fri Jan 25 at 2254, WBCQ off-frequency-minus for a
change, last few minutes of `Behaviour Night` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. (7490), I`m busy elsewise, so miss the start of `Allan
Weiner Worldwide` UT Sat Jan 26 from 0100, but John Carver quickly
reported: ``Glenn. 7490 might be running AWWW but I can't pick it out
of the noise. 5130 has the militia and no signal on 9330. Sorry man.
Will keep listening to static and checking the other frequencies for
at least a half hour. Really wish that Allan would keep 5130 clear
during his show for a relay so those of us that are internet-
challenged could still at least hear AWWW every week. John``

It`s running on the webcast which I tune in at 0112, as AW is ranting
against Speaker Pelosi, so tune out at 0113. Did anyone else hear any
significant apolitical info in rest of hour about programming changes
or progress on Superstation? Recheck webcast at 0200, AWWW still
running until 0208 or so; formerly cut himself off at 0200, so no
programming to follow any more? Had been `Dead Frog Radio` at 02-04 UT
Sats as still shown on the never-up-to-date program schedule (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11815, Jan 25 at 2247, S4-S6 of dead air. Nothing listed
here at this time, just Japan and Turkey much earlier in the day ---
except R Brasil Central, 24 hours. Lately has been reported very lowly
modulated, so maybe this is it, and among few ZYs close to on-
frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12000, Jan 26 a 1502, open carrier is still here. TDOA
technique might DF it, but won`t work without any modulation, right?

Best DX wishes, Glenn Hauser

** BRAZIL. 11780.010, Jan 25 at 1332, Brazilian talk and music but
only S5-S8 as RNA is normally weak in our mornings. Recheck at 1425,
no signal; at 1517 a JBA carrier which by now could be TWR SWAZILAND
in Somali. Apparently RNA is not on continuously all-day (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, Jan 25 at 0649, RHC English undermodulated // louder
and louder: 6100 < 6165 < 6060 < 5040, the last of The Cuban Five,
rather rough. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15311, 15168, 15111, 15083, 15054, 14997, 14968, Jan 25 at
1319, weak wobbly spurs detectable out of 15140.0 RHC at approx. 28-29
kHz intervals. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

At 1324 I find a similar spur further out, this one measured exactly
at 14882.472, that is minus 257.528 kHz, but that means the
separations would be 25.7528 kHz, less than about 28.6 otherwise
indicated; so maybe 14882+ is really unrelated to these.

I was also briefly distracted by some talk on 14980.0, but that`s
receiver overload from 7490 WWCR X 2, going away with Preamp 2 off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13700, Jan 25 at 1422, this RHC is off but 13780 is on. 13700
is supposed to start at 1400. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 25 at 0645, VON is back in presumed Hausa,
S9+10/20, despite yesterday`s ``new morning frequency`` of 9689.9 as
Ivo assumed. 7255- still on at 0704 check and no 9690 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 12035.7, Jan 25 at 1331, VOT English has just started but
JBA, only enough to tell it`s an off-frequency day. Already off at
1422 recheck to hear if it`s built up as the Sun levants itself (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, UT Fri Jan 25 at 0014, S9+20/30 of dead air from WTWW
-2, with the weak parasitic spurs about 5072.1 & 5097.9. FWIW, websked
claims:

i.e. not starting until 0200 UT daily except Wed when there`s a ham
show; and for only four hours until 0600, but sporadically stays on
all night, or even all day, presumably automated beyond the ``dream
team` DJ hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1470, Jan 25 at 1349-1403 UT, I`m trying again to catch ``La
Nueva 14-70 AM`` with a more definite ID, suspected reactivated KAIR
Atchison KS, but no sign of it or any SS, mostly just KYYW Abilene TX
mixing with KSMM Liberal KS; KYYW with ABC News at hourtop.

Now I see a more likely one in the NRC AM Log: KWSL Sioux City IA, U1
2500/69 watts, SS:NOS format as ``La Nueva Preciosa 14-70``:
https://lapreciosa987.iheart.com/
Nostalgic means going as far back as the `80s.

And audio supposed to play thus:
https://www.iheart.com/live/la-preciosa-987-fm-y-1470-4539/?pname=kwsl-am&campid=play_bar&cid=index.html
to check for the slogan as I heard it, but includes an adstring in
English after 1700 UT Jan 25, then a silly Mexican gabfest, ``Alex "El
Genio" Lucas Show`` with no local IDs;
http://www.alexelgeniolucas.com/
unclear whence it originate, but unseems local. Shows an 831-AC phone,
which is around Salinas-Monterey CA.

I keep trying to listen to the intermittent stream, and barely catch
an ID at 1802 UT as ``La Preciosa - KWSL`` not `La Nueva`` and K254DL,
as their otherwise top-billed FM 98.7 is of course really nothing but
a mere 250-watt translator. Anyhow make my previous non-precious log
tentatively KWSL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1520, Jan 25 at 1340 UT, KYND Cypress TX is *again/still*
running that loop barker looking for clients rather than axual
programming. It`s audible under KOKC, and occasionally topping my
semi-local, as they are almost collinear so can`t null one to get the
other. mentions how great their 25 kW coverage is of the sixth radio
market (Houston), with phone (281) 373-1520.

This is close to sunrise here, 1338 UT. KOKC ought to have no problem
blotting this out, but has refused to restore its full potential of 50
kW ND.

It seems I caught KYND on its first day back, per Mediafrog+ at
https://www.radiodiscussions.com/showthread.php?714184-What-s-going-on-with-KYND-(Part-Two)

First post from ``12-17-2018, 09:36 AM #1: What's going on with KYND?
(Part Two) --- When checking KYND 1520 a number of times the past week
or so, all I'm hearing is dead air. Not only do the owners have no
clients to pay the bills, it would appear they are also content to set
money on fire by transmitting 25,000 watts of nothing. What on earth
is going on?``

And from ``Today, 12:01 AM #2: And an update: After six weeks of
either being off the air or transmitting nothing but dead air, KYND
was back this morning with its audio loop soliciting potential
clients. Been almost 17 months without a paying customer for the
station`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, Jan 25, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12000, Jan 24 at 2244, the open carrier again, S4-S7;
and Jan 25 at 1334, S9+10 with some deep fades to S4. Another
possibility is some RTTY station which leaves its transmitter on all
the time but only rarely sends something in that mode (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 1821 UT January 25

** CHINA. Mauno Ritola, Finland, replies Jan 24 to my 5970 log:

``CNR1 heard with echo over Gannan PBS, at least two carriers.
Probably started at 1200. Sounds like there is also noise jammer via
Delhi receiver. This sounds like a normal jamming procedure, but for
what? Is it possible that they think Gannan Tibetan is from RFA or is
there something else? Ron Howard? 73, Mauno`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, Jan 24 at 0130, RHC continues with English during this
hour, S9+10 but just barely modulated while // 6165 is S9+20 and
sufficient. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15311 & 14968, Jan 24 at 1440, these are the only JBA spurs
from 15140 I can detect today; and still none on 13 MHz band.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 7295, Jan 24 at 1432, music and YL Japanese talk
with 3 Hz SAH from a second much weaker station. Aoki and EiBi agree
that sibling stations Shiokaze (Sea-Breeze) and Furusato no Kaze now
overlap for 5 minutes on 7295: 1405-1435 Shiokaze from Ibaragi/Yamata
JAPAN site, and 1430-1500 Furusato no Kaze via Paochung, Taiwan.

In fact, altho not made clear in either listing, as Ivo Ivanov
reports, the 1405-1435 broadcast of Shiokaze is axually a relay of
Furusato no Kaze --- so it`s in effect FnK vs FnK, in fact could be
the very same program 25 minutes apart. The first one goes off at
1435* eliminating the SAH and uncovering the much weaker S8 and
undermodulated Taiwan one, tho supposedly 300 kW from both, but at
quite different azimuths vis-Ã-vis us. Shiokaze et al. have a pitiful
record for incompetent frequency management, like jumping onto a
frequency already occupied by China, currently 7345 for the 13-14
broadcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 24 at 0702, no signal again from VON, tho it
was on yesterday in presumed Fulfulde (if it`s African but not Hausa,
only other one they employ, despite several major Nigerian languages).
French is supposed to be aired at 0700-0730, then Fulfulde, but Ivo
Ivanov reported that on Jan 23 the entire hour was Fulfulde; while
today Jan 24 they were on ``new morning frequency`` 9689.9 instead,
again in Fulfulde at 0700-0750*. Which I did not check but not likely
to propagate as well hereward. Rather I will assume VON are indecisive
about which language to air on which frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SINGAPORE. 7465, Jan 24 at 1524, S9+10 fading to S7 of almost dead
air, trace of modulation. Only thing sked is BBC Pashto this hour via
Kranji. At first thought it might be a closer carrier like Radio
MartÃ, atop a weak one, but not //11930 and 7465 is not on current RM
roster anywhen. (BTW, Aoki still lists YHWH on 7465 at 0000-0700 altho
not heard for several months) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9455, Jan 24 at 0138, TOMBS at S3-S7, as UT
Thursday is the sole day WRMI upfires this frequency for Hal Turner at
02-04, bookending with BS in each hour before and after (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1966 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday January
23 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, S9-S7 and about 6 words behind on WBCQ
7490.07v drifting downwards, also modulation somewhat distorted, but
S9+20/10, stronger than WRMI which is not distorted playing back
exactly the same file.

Also confirmed UT Thu Jan 24 at 0128, just in time as the new 0100 on
WRMI 7780 ends, poor S7-S5 but presumably better further east. Next:

** U S A. 5950, Jan 23 at 2054, this WRMI is propagating well enough
to tell it`s Supreme Master TV, ID in passing. Here is the report
about RFI, Jan 20, I was trying to find, about SMTV schedule changes:

``0000-0100 5950 YFR 100 kW / 285 deg English new, instead of Oldies
0500-0600 5950 YFR 100 kW / 285 deg Supreme Master TV is cancelled
2000-2100 5950 YFR 100 kW / 285 deg English new, instead WRN - RFI
ÐÑÐÐÐÐÑÐÐÐÐ ÐÑ Observer Ð 12:45 PM``

15770 is already off, so 20-21 on 5950 fills the gap between 15770 and
4980. The thing is, in English you cannot leave out the word ``of`` as
in ``instead of`` --- if you do, it can mean just the reverse!

I don`t recall RFI ever being on 5950 at 20-21, and if so it may not
have been in English --- here referring to the SMTV language, which
really must be mixed with a bunch of others. RFI English *was* for a
brief while in the 00-01 hour, but not just prior to the latest shift
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7259.988, Jan 24 at 1527, JBA carrier slightly offset,
vs LSB QRhaMs. I don`t have any other carrier nearby. Others have been
trying to unravel Mongolian Radio 3 (per Mauno Ritola, not 2), from
PBS Xinjiang on slightly different frequencies, but at this hour X
should be off. Aoki/NDXC has Mongolia until 1600, while EiBi says
irregular until 1500. But there is another possibility on 7260 at 15-
16 M-F: Channel Africa in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
