** CUBA. 9624 & 9656, Feb 21 at 2242, diffuse spurblobs obviously out
of 9640 RHC transmitter which is S9+20. Not FM, and no modulation
recognizable on them. I then scan for more further out at 16x kHz
multiples. There is more hash but not on exact spots, such as around
9590, 9540 vs other RHC 9535, 9565? vs jamming, 9520. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 9690, Feb 21 at 2156, REE Spanish frequency announcement as
11940 to S America, 9620 to N America ---- what? Did I hear that
right? It`s really 9690, of course. Will have to try again at same
hour. Seems like 9620 may have been REE sometime in past. Currently
not registered anything below 9690, but several imaginary alternates
in the 15 and 17 MHz bands likely to return in A-season (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3264.897V, Feb 22 at 0715, WBCQ is JBA with talk and music
not // much stronger 9330+ TOMBS. Haven`t checked much for it lately,
as never enough signal to be listenable, but apparently still running
24 hours. V = audibly wavering slightly, as opposed to lower case v
meaning long-term variability (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13755, Feb 22 at 1447, no DRM from WINB, only heard
yesterday on this frequency, and not on previous 13690 either. Nor at
1636 recheck. What do they twit about this?

``winbâ @SWWINB Feb 21 --- New WINB DRM Schedule - Effective

NOT now, as I said, on 13755. That`s from Hans Johnson in FL, who is
reluctant to sign his real name. Here`s some more news:

``winbâ@SWWINB 4h4 hours ago [from 1612 UT Feb 22 --- why in the world

We had not even heard about this from Tim Gaynor himself, who earlier
had quit WINB completely. But this now on his own website:
https://www.uniqueradio.biz/

``HOT NEWS --- Unique Radio will be transmitting on 9265 kHz DRM 1100

This twitfeed also includes some posts about other DRM stations:

``winb @SWWINB Feb 13 --- #vonigeria *1600 today 15120 kHz in Arabic!
I don't think they have been on in Arabic via shortwave for a few

And about China DRM. And even some non-DRM, non-WINB items such as
Koode Radio International (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, Friday Feb 22 at 1512, still no signal from KVOH;
however at 1637 there is a JJBBA carrier, maybe KVOH if not an

** GERMANY [non]. 15215, Feb 21 at *1600, annual broadcast of ``Radio
Amrum, the Frisian Voice`` via FRANCE, carrier on and soon sign-on in
English mentioning 500 kW, the edition for 2019 --- but the ``19`` was
clearly edited in, replacing ``18``, or even earlier! This is the
``tenth issue`` -- or was that referring to a previous year now being
played back? The following content certainly sounds familiar. It would
be nice if they could come up with new stuff, perhaps even some local
music breaks. The date is coordinated with a celebration on ÃÃmrang
every Feb 21 at 5-6 pm, a bonfire of non-toxic, non-plastic materials
collected over previous months. Live coverage of this would be more
exciting!

Host introduces ``latest news`` at 1603 but then switches to German.
Several English bits interspersed are only brief, so for those not
fluent in German, much less Frisian, little is comprehensible, but
since this is such a special occasion I monitor the entire hour.

Mostly it`s an informal conversation among a woman and one or two men,
except at 1611 they seem to be reading a script. Apparently the host
only speaks (high) German and English, while most of the hour is in
the Frisian dialect. I wonder how well standard German speakers can
understand Frisian?

1604 English something about a ``special game`` and back to Frisian.
1625 English about happy birthday to a Mr. Peters who has been married
for 15 years. 1633 English about having made a trip to New York, also
in German about Australia, New Zealand; in Frisian about Las Vegas.

1639 break ID as on 15215 k-h-z from JÃlich! How many years now has
the original DW site been kaput?? And times as 11 in NY, 17 M-E-Z;
``welcome from Amrum to New York``. 1645 talking about schnee (snow).

1659 apologizes for interrupting the conversation, but promises to be
back on Feb 21, 2020, 500 kW on 15215, ``to all Amrum exiles all over
the world, especially New York``. Also said earlier that more of them
live elsewhere in Germany than on the islands. Credits those
responsible for this annual broadcast, Ian (Eien?) Kursel? at 25946
Niebel, and two contact phone numbers repeated in English and German:
046822688 and 01704425007; inviting donations. 1659 dead air and 1700*

VG S9+20 signal here in deep North America, fading to S9. Simul-
monitoring via UTwente found it much weaker/poorer, too close to
Issoudun, skipping over, and worsening by 1642 check.

Via UTwente only, from the outset and further chex, there is scratchy
intermittent SSB ACI from some INTRUDERS. I do not manage to isolate
it, but seems to be USB, slightly from the lower side.

There is also constant tone-pulsing QRM underneath for the entire
hour, at the rate of approx. 7X per second. What is this? At times it
seems to fade independently, so jamming? Toward the end I find it
peaking about 0.5 kHz above and below 15215.0; it continues during the
brief dead air at conclusion, and goes off at exactly the same time as
carrier. So I conclude it`s a defect at Issoudun, not external
jamming, and not on the Amrum program audio either. Other monitors
were also hearing it. I alerted the WOR iog, British DX Club and Hard
-Core-DX an hour earlier, and will round up several resulting reports
in next DXLD.

Wolfgang Bueschel recorded most of it and also wonders about the
source of pulsing: ``steht auf der Box zum AnhÃren:
https://app.box.com/s/dlolfr18x2wr311e13qm800v6rvpeh6b
Kann mir mal jemand erlÃutern woher dieses Bubble-GerÃusch pulsend
herkommt? 73 wb df5sx``

This fine reception into deep North America demonstrates that even at
solarmin, any European broadcaster could serve us successfully on 19m
at our mid-mornings, but not a single station is willing to do so.
Remember when, sesquidecades ago, London Calling had a separate North
American service? I think it was on 11 metres then during solarmax
circa 1958!

15215 also had a JBA carrier before Amrum, at 1530 Feb 21 check, and
after it went off at 1700; nothing else whatsoever listed so maybe of
local origin (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IVORY COAST [non]. 7375, Feb 21 at 0627, S9-S7 music and French ID
as ``Radio Mondiale Adventiste, La Voix de l`EspÃrance`` with Abidjan
postal address, also e-mail like lavoixdelesperance@yahoo.com then AWR
theme and plug Bible-par-correspondence course until 0630*.

HFCC shows 0600-0630, 250 kW, 162 degrees via FRANCE. Amusingly,
sandwiched between two imaginary entries on 7375: 0500-0600 Nauen in
Croatian; 0600-0800 Thumrait, Oman RSO in Arabic. Hey, how about
another imaginary 7375 entry in memory of RFPI Costa Rica? (Glenn

the endings: Wednesday February 20 at 2227, S9+10 fading to S7 on WBCQ
7490+, now better than WRMI 9955, which is running 15 seconds ahead of
WBCQ. Also confirmed UT Thu Feb 21 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, poor S9-S7 vs

** U S A. 13750-13755-13760, Feb 21 at 1421, WINB DRM on new
frequency, ex-13685-13695, why? Neither was on yesterday. Got to be
WINB with distinctive hybrid of DRM noise on the top half, multiple
non-DRM carriers on bottom half, which no one else seems to notice or
explain. 13690 was close, but not too close to Cuba 13700. 13755
center looks like a clear choice, but may be too close to Cuban FM
spurs when they surely resume. HFCC has nothing on 13755 but imaginary
English from Jakarta at 0800-0900; but adjacent 13750 could bear
something from MBR Nauen at 1330-1530, plus IBB Kuwait at 1630-1700 in
Swahili; and on adjacent 13760, imaginary VOR Moskva in Russian at
1200-1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1120, Feb 21 at 0008 UT, I`m trying again for definite
reception of KCRN, Limon CO now with 50 kW day power. On the DX-398,
KMOX is nulled and hearing English religious talk, but that could be
Austin. Simulmonitoring on R-75 with E-W longwire on 1060, I get //
audio just a reverb apart, i.e. KRCN Longmont CO, the sibling Catholic
Radio Network station. KRCN is also 50 kW day power but unlike KCRN
may continue at night with 111 or 105 watts, but none of that matters
since it also has a puny 92.1 FM translator. Paul Walker says 1120
also has a new 102.3 translator in Black Forest, which is near
Colorado Springs. 1120 should be putting equally bigsig into Denver
and CS, less so Pueblo further south.

Not enough 11520 signal to // WEWN. At 0013, 1120 fades in better when
I can tell it`s a Catholic Radio fundraiser, phone 888-447-2425 --- so
KCRN for sure, way out of their broad major lobe westward, here to the
SE (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1480, Feb 20 at 2218 UT on caradio, already hearing
Vietnamese from presumed KBXD Dallas QRMing closer KQAM Wichita
English talker. At 2229-2230+ Vietnamese talk now on DX-398, same slow
SAH between them as before; 2255 during Viet mentions ``CÃmara de
Diputados``, i.e. Spanish name about the Mexican House of Reps!; 2257
break for legal English ID as ``KBXD, 1480-AM, Dallas`` and back to
VV.

Tim Hendel in AL had been trying to confirm via webcast, KBXD in
Vietnamese instead of ngÆái TÃy Ban Nha (espaÃol), but was hearing
Banda Trece programming. I too found a webcast attributed to KBXD but
with Banda Trece, so not really what was on the 1480 air! Tim agrees
this was probably the case. Meanwhile, I was wondering if the Viet I
had been hearing could have been from KLVL Houston market, which has
had Vietnamese in past, mainly Spanish now? But the bigsig vs KQAM has
been typical of KBXD, whatever the programming language.

2359 recheck, Vietnamese still audible in mix on 1480. Feb official
SR/SS times are 1315/0015 UT; March: 1245/0030. At night KBXD must cut
from 50 to 1.9 kW on a similar pattern with major lobe to NW, but a
notch NNW toward us. We are still wondering if KBXD now be 100%
Vietnamese, or what? Someones in The Metroplex could easily check this
out (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, Thu Feb 21 at 1530, 1616 & 1700 chex, still no signal

** CUBA. 13671.713, Feb 20 at 1437, JBA music, first suspect being RHC
13700 spur, 28.3 kHz away, but not //. Is there one on the opposite
side? 13728.294, also close to 28.3 with no modulation audible. Can
such a spur contain different audio from source? Or maybe on a single
receiver, music stopped as I retuned. These are not the huge FM spurs
which are sporadically provided by 13700. Nearest fundamental is 13670
CRI French via Albania, but not much heard of that. At 1514 I check
again, finding JBA carriers on 13671.7 and 13727.7, not matching

as RRI in Spanish, 90 kW at 247 degrees from Tsiganeshti site to CIRAF
14 = northern Argentina & Chile, southern Bolivia. I never see DX
reports from anyone in the Southern Cone listening in DRM, so how many

rebroadcast KCRO`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1120, Feb 20 at 0027 UT, I`m seeking the new 50 kW daytimer
in Limon CO, KCRN, ex-KLIM, which Paul Walker in Laramie reported
finally activating CP a few days ago at quarter-power for starters.
Official FCC sunset for Feb is 0030 UT, so this should be my best
chance for it, after the 10 kW Okie KETU is off; and it`s close to a
right angle from KMOX for easy nulling. However, KCRN pattern is broad
to the west, null to the east; and there is another 1120 normally
audible here around SR/SS, KTXW Manor TX (Austin).

In fact that`s what I mainly hear with KMOX nulled, ``Austin`s
Christian talk, The Bridge`` --- alluding to the one that`s batty?? By
0029 underneath I hear a song, maybe hymn, so quickly compare on same
DX-398 to 1060 where there is KRCN Longmont (Denver), 50 kW daytimer,
another Catholic station, but will they really be simulcasting? Could
be // in brief bit. And nothing more from it after 0030.

KCRN is also designed to reach Denver past sparsely-populated eastern
CO plains. I will have an even worse chance at KCRN sunrise *1345 vs
KETU, KMOX et al. In March, KRCN span will be 1315-0100 UT (which of
course must stay the same UT after DST start already March 10). KRCN &
KCRN are in fact sibling stations, as the related calls imply, both
licensed to Catholic Radio Network --- so why do they need two 50 kW
Denver-market stations?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

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 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15700, Feb 18 at 1455, CRI Plus English relay is S9+40 but
modulation spikes only audible, totally unusable. Wiggle that
patchcord! Does no one care about this in Habana or Beijing?
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420, Feb 18 at 2000, `I foni tis [H]Elladas` ID from Voice
of Greece, talk for a couple minutes, news? and back to eclectic
music, 2012 in English ``I Believe``, 2015 into ``country and
western``! S9-S6. I think it was already on a few minutes before 2000
but WRTH 2019 shows 9420 starting at 2000 on a highly variable
schedule; plus 9935 ditto from 2200, but the latter not heard at all
for a year or more (Glen Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 7390, Feb 19 at 1228, JBA carrier hasn`t a
chance vs huge splash from 7385 WHRI, which is entitled to run between
10 and 14 UT; presumed RNZI as now unfortunately scheduled on 7390 at
08-13 and even worse, on NNW antenna only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH AFRICA. 15350, Feb 19 at 1536, S3-S5 in Arabish, i.e. R.
Dabanga for Sudan from FPU = Free Press Unlimited, Amsterdam, at 1529
-1600 only. Not much else is propagating on 19m; this from SENTECH,
Meyerton, rumored to be closing down at Marchend. // is 15550 via
France, even less audible. Via Mike Cooper, here`s some new self-
promotion:

** U S A. 4980, Feb 19 at 0000, WRMI is off while 5010 continues.
Checking since on Feb 13, Mark Coady, Ontario was hearing SMTV on 4980
until 0100*. I had also heard 4980 until 1200* contrary to schedule,
but Feb 19 at 1159 it`s not on while 5010 IDs in Spanish. WRMI
skedgrid continues to show 4980 only at 21-24 with SMTV; but 5950 SMTV
at 00-01 as well as 20-21 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 17775, Mon Feb 18 at 1939, still no signal from
KVOH; nor Tue Feb 19 at 1520 and 1602 (however, JBA carrier on 17780
from BBCWS Ascension extension for Nigerian elexions.) Following my
notice of KVOH also AWOL on Saturday Feb 16, Ray Robinson explained to
me, UT Mon Feb 18 at 0409:

``Hi, Glenn. 17775 kHz has been off the air since Friday due to the
failure of a critical piece of our high voltage equipment. A
replacement part was ordered, and we expect to be back on the air by
mid-week. In the meantime, normal programming will still be carried on
our webstream. Ray Robinson, Voice of Hope World Radio Network,
Americas/Africa/Middle East, www.voiceofhope.com`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. 660, Feb 19 at 1428 UT, plugs for `Adventures in Odyssey`
program, access 660-KCRO via Alexa, ``Omaha`s Christian Talk``, temp
minus 2. 1 kW on E-W longwire from the north, but dominant instead of
KSKY 20 kW from the south. At this break anyway, did not hear any
reference to FM translator or the slogan tied to that, as in NRC AM
Log, ``660-AM 106.5 The Word``. Must still be arriving by skywave, as
on full daytime groundwave, KCRO is barely audible under KSKY (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
