Hauser
** BRAZIL. 9630.5, Jan 29 at 0154, R. Aparecida is back on signature
split frequency. Still at 0655 with song, S4-S6. Seems to have shifted
ever so slightly below 9630.500, but not measured. Had been AWOL for
several nights (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 284, Jan 29 at 0728, ND beacon dash and QD, which is 500
watts from The Pas, Manitoba; I was tuned to 285-LSB?

223, Jan 29 at 0729, ND beacon dash and YYW, which is 1000 watts from
Armstrong, Ontario. Audible when tuned to 225 and 224. See also USA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 14968.275, Jan 29 at 1434, JBA RHC spur from 15140, extremely
weak and fading out and in. Likewise, 15025.585. These are 171.725 and
114.415 kHz below the fundamental, i.e. about 28.6 kHz intervals, x 4
and x 6. What is it about 28.6 in this transmitter that generates so
many spurs at those multiples? Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 730, Jan 29 at 1413 in Spanish, the lowest frequency XE
still propagating more than a semihour after my LSR must be XEHB,
Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua, on 50 kW day power, after own sunrise
approx. 1350 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 29 at 0653, VON is off again, and not audible
on 9690- either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 12035.7, Jan 29 at 1422, VOT English concluding with one
news headline, sign-off without full English sked but manages to utter
almost-correct info for this one, ``1330-1430 on 12035 for Europe,
Good-bye``, brief IS and off. Poor signal; this one is off-frequency
more than on-frequency. Meanwhile Turkish is close to 11815.0 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Another bedtime NDB session:

421, Jan 29 at 0717, ND beacon VLY, which is 25 watts from Dallas-
Melisa TX --- at last, something from the south, but what is Melisa?
Well, there is a doctor MD and a beauty shop by that spelling. I am
tuned to 420-USB.

293, Jan 29 at 0727, ND beacon FBY which is 25 watts from Fairbury,
Nebraska. I was tuned to 295. Fairbury is in the SE, 10 miles north of
Kansas between Beatrice and Hebron. See also CANADA (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5850, UT Tue Jan 29 at 0159 tune-in, a bit of beepery before
canned WRMI ID. Can that be IBC Radio from Italy, which normally
concludes with a few minutes of this? But its SWBCs were supposedly
suspended at yearend 2018. WRMI sked still shows IBC at several times
including UT Tue 0100-0130 on 5850 System F --- but the following
semihour is a blank field. If it were IBC, is WRMI still replaying the
final show or have they resumed new ones? I strongly suspect the
former, as WRMI often keeps running canceled programs until getting
around to replacing them. Such as:

7730, UT Tue Jan 29 at 0400, WRMI switches from TOMBS to music fill,
as I had noticed a week ago instead of `Broad Spectrum Radio`, and it
continues for the full hour until cutoff 0500* amid ID. I guess it`s
World Music, but not many of my old favorites included (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5890, Jan 29 at 0649, S9+30 of open carrier, must be WWCR by
accident or testing; ops normal on VG 5935, 4840; and 3215 is off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 770, Jan 29 from 1414 UT weak signal in English, as I am
standing by for KKOB Albuquerque NM to pop onto 50 kW ND day pattern
--- which it does at 1415.5, mid-word discussion about recycling
plastic bags --- not a word of greeting to all their new listeners to
the east now getting an initially VG signal. In Feb its daytime span
will be 1400-0045 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1470, Jan 29 around 1400 UT, a bit of Spanish in the mix vs
TX and KS stations. Still trying to get a definite ID for ``La Nueva
1470`` from KWSL Sioux City IA, 2.3 kW ND (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12000, Jan 29 at 1425, the mystery open carrier is not
heard now for a change (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15140, Jan 27 at 2120 on caradio, RHC French is distorted;
much weaker French on 15370 seems non-distorted. Toujours, quelque
chose de faux à RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13779.239, Jan 28 at 1456, RHC bigsig is way off-frequency
today. No spurs to be heard from 13700 or 15140. Siempre hay algo
equivocado en RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15700, Jan 28 at 1459, CRI Plus relay English modulation is
suptorted; wiggle that patchcord! Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 28 at 0732 check, VON is off again (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 27185-AM, Jan 27 at 2125 on caradio, continuous techno
music, seems local as no fadeouts and no QRM on prime CB channel if
there were skip; stops to dead air at 2139; recheck at 2155, back to
normal inane QSOs with reverb. No less a pirate broadcaster than on
6.9 MHz? (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1966 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
January 27 before 2200 on WRMI 7780, JBA on portable PL-880, the 2130
which was below ambient noise level where first checked.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 28 at 0230 on WRMI 5950, F-G
interrupting an ID by Jeff.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 28 at 0400 on Area 51 webcast, right
after music with no ID; also via WBCQ 5130.433, JBA at 0424 check.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 28 at 0430 on WRMI 9955, VG S9+20,
interrupting ``Hallelujah`` song before it`s over. I was listening to
that from start at 0425 as fill after R. Prague 25-minute broadcast
which at 0400 is on UT Sundays and Mondays only. WRMI plays the same
fill music every Sunday night. It`s a moving performance but not Kate
McKinnon,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BG-_ZDrypec
https://genius.com/Kate-mckinnon-and-leonard-cohen-hallelujah-lyrics
nor the original Leonard Cohen; who? I hate to be the one
interrupting, but it`s the automation setup, man. Next:

[or maybe I`ll have 1967 ready by 2330 Monday?]
2330 UT Monday WRMI *9955 to SSE

I don`t know why I did not get any hits when searching HFU on 4085, but as Ron Howard points out there were plenty of reports, including now the latest when I was hearing it: X-FM:

** NORTH AMERICA. 4085-AM, Jan 27 at
0250, DJ and rock music S9 but
noisy, by 0256 JBA carrier. Must be an
unidentified pirate I will
uplook later in HF Underground --- NO,
not a single log there now or
ever on 4085! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15197.2, Jan 27 at 1542, cursory check for spurs from RHC
15140 finds this one with enough squishy music sound to match, i.e. 2
x 28.6 kHz above, and signs of others above and below at those
multiples. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN. See TURKEY [and non]

** NORTH AMERICA. 4085-AM, Jan 27 at 0250, DJ and rock music S9 but
noisy, by 0256 JBA carrier. Must be an unidentified pirate I will
uplook later in HF Underground --- NO, not a single log there now or
ever on 4085! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Jan 26 at 2331, VOT English to N America is
certainly on the air today, unlike yesterday, as I tune in first via
UTwente SDR; very strong signal but with some humbuzz, and very little
CCI from slightly off-frequency station; more of a problem is splash
from 5970 China unless narrowed to considerably less than default 9
kHz AM bandwidth.

The now-Saturday `Letterbox` is in progress, very informal replies to
mail, ending at 2336 to be back ``in two weeks` time``. Does this mean
none at all next Saturday, or playback this one, and a new one in two
weeks? During music interval, checking 5960 direct, sufficient tho
more fadey signal and no QRM problems, at 2339 good S9/+10.

Back on UTw: After music break, `Turkish Cuisine` recipe for bugur
(sp?) pilaf, and CCI with LAH is worsening. 2350 sign-off with totally
mixed-up English schedule for A-season but some wrong times even then:
1830 9785 Europe, 2030 9620 SAsia/Australia; 2200 9830
Europe/USA/Canada, 1930 15520 to
Afghanistan/Pakistan/India/Uzbekistan/Turkmenistan; 0300 9515
Europe/USA/E Canada/Cuba; 06-07 UT on 6165 Europe/Syria/Jordan/Arabian
PeninSUla. (And the 1230 broadcast not even mentioned). Adds, ``Note
that at 23-24 and 04-05 the broadcasts are prerecorded``. Interesting
the targets they specify, many of them non-English-speaking. Besides
completely wrong A-season times and frequencies, there never is a
broadcast at 06-07; 6165 was the // for the 03 UT summer transmission.
Yet they specify the correct winter times for the repeat notice. Dear
announcer: please engage brain before reading copy. 2352 IS fragment
is cut off before even one play is complete (Alan Roe had noticed a
new orchestration); and off uncovering the CCCCCCI talk.

Fortunately, this week TRT does not stay on another hour with the
unscheduled German service, off in plenty of time for The Mighty KBC.

By 2359 the Nauen carrier is on causing quite a LAH with the Chinese.
At least in Europe the QRM is pretty bad. But no doubt little problem
back in N America. By 0130 recheck during Kim`s beepery, heavy QRM/het
should make decoding that quite a challenge over there.

What is the 5960 QRM? Xinjiang PBS, Urumqi, East Turkistan, listed in
HFCC as 100 kW ND starting at 2330. However Aoki/NDXC says it start at
2310 with 50 kW ND; and EiBi agrees *2310. It`s significantly off-
frequency causing LAH to VOT and KBC, but I don`t get it measured vs
all the QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K. 9775, Jan 27 at 1447, F-G, ``You are listening to a test
transmission`` and music medley (a few seconds each) of S Asian,
Portuguese? and off in less than a minute at 1448*. AFAIK, such tests
come only from the Encompass Woofferton site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1966 monitoring: 1860-AM, Sat Jan 26 at 2030,
WA0RCR MO is JBA propagating this early by daytime skywave, enough to
tell it`s a YL talking, so already running late past nominal WORLD OF
RADIO time. Check at 0257 finds heavy CWQRM on both sides, so another
contest must be running. No CW above 1881 or so, so it might be
prudent for WA0RCR to QSY to 1885+. OTOH, then its AM signal might
confront LSB hams instead when there is no contest. WOR confirmed at
0427 UT Jan 27 at CIAO item, about 7 minutes in, so started circa
0420.

Also confirmed Sat Jan 26 at 2200-2229 on WRMI 9955, good S9+20 with
no jamming. Next:

2130 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to NE
0230 UT Monday WRMI 5950 to WNW, 9395 to NNW

** U S A. (5085), UT Sun. Jan 27 at 0045 I remember to tune in WTWW-2
webcast for `Theater Organ in the Ozarx`, as I had found it before to
be in stereo, and less distortion than on SW. But tonight as heard on
headphones, it`s all in mono, with scratches and pops, so Bob is
playing old vinyl by George Wright, and the distortion level even thus
is at times extreme. Keeps going past 0100 so must have started late
as usual; at 0106 self-QRM from a cue-up saying, ``This is the best -
--``. Something`s always wrong at WTWW. Closing at 0107 Bob expects to
*see* us again next week, which would be quite a trick, as AFAIK this
is one-way AF sound via RF in the opposite direxion (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1660, Sunday Jan 27 at 1455 UT, church service in English
concluding with standard benedixion; got to be KWOD Kansas City KS,
straying from sports format as The Score; missed ToH ID, but by 1501
it`s back to sports scores. Has ~4 Hz SAH, from KQWB ND or KRZI TX,
all of which are disportive (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12000, Jan 27 at 1435, mystery open carrier at S8-S5

** 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,

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. 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?
