** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 9740, Feb 14 at 1458, RBA sign-off in English
until tomorrow at 14 UT = 19:30 IST. HFCC-registered as 100 kW, 335
degrees in Hindi only. In fact, per Aoki/NDXC there is an extremely
complex sked of 14 languages in 15-minute segments, with Hindi only
once a week on Sundays at 1400-1415 --- and English only thrice a
week, Mon/Tue/Wed at 1445 ---- but this is Thursday! The canned sign-
off includes just a hint of Kookaburra, but is it Jacko?

9740-, meanwhile by 1459 a low-audible-heterodyne (LAH) is also
audible, from the next station, AWR in Nepali via the always off-
frequency Trincomalee, SRI LANKA, in the clear after 1500 but only a
JBA carrier today, despite a 15-degree aim closer to USward and with
25 kW more power, but having to penetrate polar absorption. Also over
a much shorter path to target, could start off at a higher takeoff
angle, reducing further bounces; who knows? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. Whoopee! After quite a dry spell, RHC has resumed its FM
service on 22m: Feb 14 at 1427-1431, up to 10-kHz-wide FM spurs circa:
13445, 13508, 13574, 13634, 13766, 13829, 13888, 13954, 14020,
intervals of very roughly 65 kHz. The outermost are mere traces,
progressively stronger up to the innermost S9+10 out of the
fundamental 13700-AM at S9+30. All include the F# tone. Even the
closest are not totally clear, but in SSB or AM mode are just blobs.
Meanwhile, no spurs audible on 19m where 15140 is relatively weak to
start with. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR. 11965, Feb 13 a 2045, S7-S9, MWV is in Arabic, not
English! Later I see a report from Mark Coady that today`s other
English hour at 18 UT on 13670 was also in Arabic instead.

WCBC stations KNLS and MWV had announced a curtailment of 4
transmitter-hours per day each, due to Diesel fuel costs, but
supposedly no other changes and not including these hours.

This would hardly be the first time that MWV has mixed up its own
transmissions, wrong language on wrong frequency and/or wrong time! So
what will happen with African Pathways Radio today Feb 14?

Here`s the current schedule on website, which also shows why Ivo
refers to xmtrs 2 and 3 at MWV, but never an (imaginary?) #1; with
blank entries for the transmissions dropped:

** SOUTH AFRICA. Summary notes by gh of a conversation broadcast on
Feb 10 edition of AWR Wavescan, heard Feb 13 after 2230 on WRMI 9955
webcast, recorded about 3 weeks ago at the A-19 HFCC meeting in Tunis,
between Jeff White and some guy representing the Caribbean Beacon (a
station which hardly needs to spend any $ $ $ on frequency management,
let alone sending somebody to HFCC junkets all over the world twice a
year, since CB is always registered for 10-22 on 11775, 22-10 on 6090.
What PMS really needs is some kind of *transmission* management, to
keep the Anguilla thing on the air according to a reliable schedule.)
I haven`t tried to keep track of who said what in the interchange:

BREAKING NEWS: SENTECH FMO SNT, HFCC member for long time, rumor that
there may be a possible cessation of SWBC from Radio South Africa
[sic]. HFCC was held there two years ago. Not to say this is
happening, but potential for cessation. SENTECH transmitter still
government-owned but separate from Radio RSA, now Channel Africa,
selling time to other overseas broadcasters. Encompass, ex-Babcock,
ex-BBC company biggest client. BBC reducing airtime, making it less
viable proposition to continue operating the Meyerton site. Also: AWR,
SARL, and other smaller ones.

Board of SENTECH decided to cancel SWBC from Meyerton at end of B-18 =
end of March; yet have registered next season frequencies. So not cast
in stone. Larger clients encourage Sentech to keep going. Not enough,
losing money, looking at bottom line. Looking at possibility of DRM,
to promote it; SENTECH could easily modify equipment for DRM, but not
too many DRM receivers in Africa! It sent three attendees to HFCC this
time rather than one, including an accountant-type, and from
management. Indicates decision has been made, but looking for new
clients, or maybe will be transition period.

If Meyerton goes off, some may move over to MGLOB in Madagascar, ex-RN
relay. MAD could pick up broadcast time of Radio South Africa [sic].
If you want a QSL card, get it quickly. Things could change; we are
only at mid-week, midpoint of HFCC conference. Another possibility,
Sentech was talking about, some other organization like ENC might
lease the whole facility, sell airtime. Like Okeechobee. Or Bulgaria-
like, privatising takeover by Spaceline.

My own further comments: Current HFCC B18 shows MEYerton used by all
these broadcasters: BBC, SABC, Channel Africa, SARL, FPU, AWR, IBB,
DWL --- and that`s not enough? (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Feb 13 at 2325, REE English from 2300 has been
honoring World Radio Day with Justin Coe playing some songs about
radio, but I only catch the last few minutes as he remarx, ``Remains
to be seen how much longer [REE] foreign language services will be on
air`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1969 monitoring: confirmed
Wednesday February 13 at 2200 on WBCQ 7490.17 starting only a couple
seconds late; then tune to 9955 WRMI to find --- no signal, except
jamming (while 9395 is nominal at S9). 9955 must be late coming up,
but WOR in progress at next check 2208, and overcoming jamming. At
2226 I compare the two and find 7490.17 running about 13 seconds
behind 9955, so WRMI playback at least on webcast must have started
about 10 seconds early. Nevertheless, circa 2229 WRMI automation cuts
off the last few words I utter after ``inviting you ----`` as too
often happens, even tho I always make sure the totalshow lasts less
than 29:00. At 2229 on 7490.17, a minute of music fill, then 2230
Goddess Irena 1 asking us to contact her, unaware at the time that she
would now be deceased. 2230 WRMI goes on replay Wavescan, where I copy
some Breaking News, see SOUTH AFRICA.

This report dispatched at 1736 UT February 14

** AUSTRALIA. 5055, Feb 13 at 1041, carrier with trace of modulation
from 4KZ, less than S5 storm noise level. No signal at all on 5045-LSB
or CLSB, Unique Radio, which is to be expected being even lower-
powered and aiming for NSW area coverage only; WOR should have aired
earlier at 0930 Wednesday. At 1201, still a trace of talk on 5055
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also unID 4835.6

** CUBA. 6060, UT Wed Feb 13 at 0628, RHC is just starting `DXers
Unlimited`, our last chance to hear this edition, better here than //
lower modulated 6165, 6000; 5040 somewhat distorted, and 6100 still
AWOL. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

Arnie starts with the ``dreamers radio band``, little-known new
allocation in some countries around 9 kHz, sà amigos, you heard me
right, axually 8.7-9.1 kHz ELF, so it`s RF not AF. A few hams are
experimenting it with digicodes, especially in UK, Europe. I had never
heard of it. Arnie`s English speech is getting more and more slurred,
as we fear he is ailing, contrasting with his healthy canned openings
and closings recorded long ago. Ends at 0635 already after only 7
minutes. Despite our ``policy differences``, I wish him well (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15140, Feb 13 at 1412, RHC is S9+20/30 but suptorted; wiggle
that patchcord, and no spurs audible today. 15700, CRI English relay
is S9+20 and also distorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** HUNGARY [and non]. 91.7, Feb 12 at 2030 UT, during `The World` hour
from WGBH/BBC/PRI via KOSU, I happen to hear part of a segment which I
then find on the program website:

Most Recent Episodes February 12, 2019 --- Viktor OrbÃn's not-so-free
media, protesting for permanent residency [sic], Venezuela's aid
standoff. And, the right-wing government in Hungary and the control it
has over its media. . .

The whole 46+ minute episode, but after stories on El Chapo and
Venezuela, Hungary portion starts at 22:53 if you advance the player
and runs until 33:30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, Feb 13 at 0642, RNZI on new frequency, and it`s
S9+10, a guy reviewing movies such as ``Black Klansman``. Ex-13730
before 0658, which often managed to be the OSOB. Now 11725 is VG S9+10
and almost the OSOB besides JBA carriers on 11680-VOK, and 11520-WEWN.

9765, by next check reawake at 1035, RNZI is here, VG S9+10 talking
about PNG.

Next check at 1211, should be on 9700 as at 1059-1258, but nothing
there, so must have made another move during the bihour much weaker
here, the only time RNZI puts all its kW into NNW rather than at least
partly NNE azimuth. I scan elsewhere on 9 MHz band, also 6, but
finally at 1220 find what sounds like RNZI on 7330, NZ accented YL in
English, poor S9/S9+10 vs noise level, with flutter.

By another check at 1403, something VP is on 7330 [CRI in Russian},
but RNZI is still on 6115 after 1259, now with weather around the
coast of NZ, and plugging ``on Vodaphone [?] cable channel 421``.

Later I check the sked at
https://www.radionz.co.nz/international/listen
which confirms my findings:

11725 at 0459-0658; 9765 at 0659-1058; 7330 at 1059-1258 since 12 Feb
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PHILIPPINES [and non]. 7410, Feb 13 at 1145, two stations mixing,
one song the other talk in tonal language with flutter, adding up to
S7-S9. Altho there are plenty of open spots on the band, Aoki/NDXC and
EiBi agree this is the incredible collision of: CRI CHINA in Tagalog
TO Philippines, and FEBC Manila FROM PHILIPPINES in Khmer. I thought
both of them collude in HFCC? Yes, they do, in B-18 on adjacent lines,
but alarm bells did not go off since their CIRAF target areas differ
by one digit: 49 and 50 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 12035.7, Feb 13 at 1407, VOT English off-frequency today,
poor with stray lite Cuban pulse jamming; 11815.0+ Turkish is as usual
stronger, and today almost on-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 4045-USB, Feb 13 at 1204, WCY Lakeland FL with
individualized weather forecasts for sailing clients in the Caribbean,
now for the Island Pearl around Eleuthera, winds and seas outlook for
as far ahead as Saturday and Sunday (Feb 16-17). He asks how copy? and
gets 2-way replies which I cannot copy. Also uses 12350-USB, maybe
later rather than simul as nothing audible there now (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1969 monitoring: confirmed
Wednesday February 13 at 1040 the 1030 on WRMI 5950, S9/S9+10, so good

** U S A. 3264.87, Feb 13 at 0011, WBCQ testing here for the second
night on slightly higher drift: VP S6-S9 but sounds like AW in
conversation with others, so maybe an AWWW playback, altho most of the
time that`s a monolog. Or it could be Pirate Joe on WHVW who sounds a
bit like AW, similar accent. Not // 7490+ or 9330+ and 5130+ not on
the air. This was apparently on late- or all-night as Wolfgang
Bueschel was still hearing it via remote at 0835 Feb 13 on 3264.883.

Reception much better closer to Maine of course, and the previous
night, Feb 12, David Hodgson in Nashville TN reported: ``3265 WBCQ
(presumed) 0945 Feb 12, Jazz and Blues music. ID around 1000 "Heart
and soul of American music WHVW" No mention of WBCQ. WHVW ID again a
few minutes later. Checked an hour later and heard right wing rant
call in talk show. Call in number 207-538-9180. Odd time of day to be
on the air``. That is WBCQ`s own public phone number, which I used to
use to feed WOR to them.

Why are all WBCQ transmitters never [hardly ever] on-frequency? I
guess it`s because they rely on ground crystal-controlling, an inexact
science; surely the Superstation will employ frequency synthesizer,
altho if everything stay on 9330[.000?] as planned, rapid and accurate
changes will be foregone, while azimuths will be rotated (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 4980, Feb 13 at 1156, surprised to find S9+10 signal here
playing music loop, the theme from R. Prague; got to be WRMI-3, which
is still websked at 21-24 UT only, with Supreme Master TV. Must be a
test, not // 9955 or 9395 now. 1159 Spanish ID strangely mixed with
bubbling utenoise which seems to be in the audio rather than QRM; 1200
to othermusic but shortly cut off the air. 5010 is not on the air.
Aha, must be mistake or change from that, as 5010 WRMI-14 is scheduled
at 11-12 including R. Praga at 1130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505, Feb 13 at 0637, WRNO is ending a program from BGEA,
two IDs and contact info; sked must be skewed. Next show starts with
some Morse code (faux?) I am not prepared to copy mixed with intro
music. It`s the flagship of WRNO`s current owner, ``Good News with
Robert Mawire`` (mah-WEE-ree), who starts by exclaiming over and over
``Give me the mountain``. Off-putting style of preaching but nowhere
near that attained by Blalock the Blaster on otherstations.

Again at 1145, I find 7505 is dead air, altho hints of bits of mod; in
Chinese by now? Still dead at 1218; I`m unfortunately awake but WRNO
is not (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 4840, Feb 13 at 1044, WWCR dead air at S9+30, yet another
station failing to fulfill overnight. Supposed to be TOMBS now; by
1154, BS is back. When this happen, 1) is any exact record available
or kept on the extent of the failure? and 2) is it determined whether
the programmer or the station is at fault (or middlething like a
satellite company)?; and 3) is a financial adjustment made in billing?
Or is the client not paying by the minute but rather some kind of flat
rate subject to uncompensated outages? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 17774.989, Feb 13 at 1457, KVOH already on with dead air and
some hum at S9+30, 1500 fading to S9/S6, and no audio yet. Usually at
the outset it`s a JBA carrier at best. Must be getting some February
sporadic-E boost, but when I get around to checking the DXmap at 1725,
not a trace of any DX above 50 MHz; of course all we need for KVOH is
an MUF of 18 MHz, which would be noticed only via a few US SWBC
transmitters. But now on the 28 MHz map there are a few Es contacts
across eastern USA, with an estimated MUF of 71 MHz. As usual, KVOH is
slightly off-frequency-minus (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4835.6, Feb 13 at 1045 while 4840 WWCR is dead air, a
JJBBA carrier here; I don`t suppose OzyRadio or Sikkim would be on the
air but this far off channel, would they? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5035, Feb 13 at 1041 VP carrier, perhaps R. EducaÃÃo
Rural, Coari, Brasil, the only thing listed in EiBi and Aoki/NDXC (no
more Aparecida on this frequency). EiBi has it at 09-02 on 5035.1, so
I should be more exact; Aoki at 10-01 and doesn`t mess with decimals
from anything, quite a drawback. WRTH 2019 has RER only, but double-
daggered as inactive. Only other 5035 is in EiBi, Russian Spy Numbers
S06, Tuesdays at 1100-1110, unknown site, unlikely to make it here
unless it`s from the FE (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 1800 UT February 13

** BANGLADESH. 4750, Feb 12 at 1345, talk and song I would say is S
Asian, so presumed Bangladesh Betar, rather than other possibility
CNR1 Hailar --- should have ruled that out by // check to another CNR1
frequency. CODAR QRM swishing from both sides. And QRM from non-
Spanish 2-way on 4751.8-USB. Anyhow 4750 is the best Asian signal on
60m along with many JBA carriers corresponding to Tibet, East
Turkistan, China, India and peripheries, such as 4760 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL [non]. 6090, Feb 13 at 0001, I`m trying again to hear the
alleged Radio Bandeirantes: one weak signal here on the Icom, can`t
tell language; 0007 I`ve switched to the JRC and there are two signals
mixing, the stronger one sounding more and more like Chinese by 0015,
i.e. CNR2 from Golmud. (My closest streetlight ignites with a wideband
RF noise burst at 0016; mostly clear sky but some orange clouds on the
sunset horizon.) By 0032 the otherlang is atop, and I think it is
Spanish rather than Portuguese. The 6090 situation is somewhat
clarified:

Wolfgang Bueschel reports Iran already on with IS at 2345 Feb 12.
We`ve had contradictory info about when VIRI`s Spanish broadcast start
--- 2320, 2350 or 0020, but it appears that 2350 is the winner.

We`ve also wondered whether the Bandeirantes on 6090 heard in Brasil
be a pirate and not a reactivation of the real station. And whether
report of it as ``RÃdio Livre`` which means ``Free Radio`` refer to it
as a pirate, or the name of a real program on RB?

Daniel Wyllyans has just answered that on HCDX: ``6090 RÃdio Livre
Bandeirantes --- Yes and no. Yes, the program is officially from RÃdio
Bandeirantes. No, TX is not the 10 KW Bandeirantes. Is another person
with 30 watts in 6090 MG state. 73 Daniel Wyllyans``

So even if that be on air at this hour, we are certainly not going to
hear it in NAm with China, Iran and sometimes even Anguilla also on
6090 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 12300, Feb 12 at 1350, RHC harmonic 2 x 6150 still here at
S2-S5. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [and non]. 6075, Feb 12 at 1352 open carrier at S7-S9,
except for a brief noise burst; 1400 one tone and lively Chinese
programming including song, i.e. RTI as scheduled starting Chinese at
1400 via Kouhu site; but now there is also a second station talking
and making a SAH, i.e. CNR1 jamming. Or vice versa (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAJIKISTAN. 4765.059, Feb 12 at 1345, VP signal from something,
presumed Tajik Radio, Dushanbe. Offset to 4765.06 has been reported
recently by Gianni Serra, Roma; Wolfgang Bueschel on 4765.070; Anker
Petersen, Denmark, had R. Progreso, Cuba on 4765.06! But that would
never be on the air at this hour and when I do hear it in the 0130-
0500 span, it`s never off-frequency. Tajik is sometimes logged as
merely ``4765`` apparently by those not paying attention to detail.
From DXLD 18-11: ``Tajik Radio, which was reported by Kouji Hashimoto
and Wolfgang BÃschel, in the Feb 19-26 period variously as 4765.06,
4765.054, 4765.057, as in DXLD 18-09`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 11570, Feb 12 at 1455, Korean is S9-S7, VOA jingle.
This 14-16 broadcast is the sole station anywhen on 11570, 21 degrees

** U S A. 5970, Feb 12 at 1355, RCM ID and start ``Salve Regina``
chant quickly cut off; by 1358, same is running on stronger 12050. So
WEWN is successfully emanating both Spanish transmitters today (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Not that it matter much at all, but this log was on Feb
10, not 11 as in original report; fixed: 27185, Feb 10 at 1915 on
caradio, someone local is transmitting a big hum on this prime CB
frequency (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 0218 UT February 13

** BRAZIL [non]. 6090, Feb 12 at 0005, VP signal with M&W talk; I try
to divine whether it`s Brazuguese, as Mark Coady, Ontario, has again
assumed it`s Radio Bandeirantes. No, it sounds more like Chinese. I am
never monitoring at the same time and date as Mark; his was Feb 8 at
0002 and he heard RB even underneath Anguilla, which is not on now.
Recheck at 0027: now a stronger S7-S9 dead air or maybe JB modulated.
Both these fit for Aoki listings:
2055-0300 CNR2 Golmud 916 site; close to grayline
0020-0320 Iran Sirjan site in Spanish

But it also maintains R. Bandeirantes, SÃo Paulo, as 24 hours --- like
so many other long-gone LA stations.

But2, there could be at times a R. Bandeirantes on 6090. Rudolf Grimm
in SP state reports it Jan 29 at 1742 UT in the local daytime with a
program `Radio Livre`. He could not hear RB on MW 840 or the other
former SW frequencies 9645, 11925, but the timechex were correct and
the info current. It could have been a unauthorized pirate relay from
FM or webcast, as ZY SW pirates are proliferating, so why not? He says
RB had not been on the 49m frequency for three years.

By 0150, Anguilla has come up on 6090, PMS S9+20 with hum and squeal.
I`m certainly not going to hear anything else under her (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15700, Feb 11 at 1438, CRI Plus English relay is S9+20,
overmodulated, distorted and splattering. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba.

5910, Feb 12 at 0310, this CRI English relay is S9+30 but suptorted.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Feb 11 at 0720, VON is on tonight, S9+10/20.

9690-, Feb 11 at 1915, silly ballgame from SPAIN with a LAH, so VON is
also on again here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1968 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
February 10 at 2155 the 2130 on WRMI 7780, fair.

Also confirmed UT Mon Feb 11 at 0230 on WRMI 5950, S9+20; but not even
a JBA carrier on // 9395, off? (by 0352 during Slovakia mailbag, it`s
S9-S9+10, and stronger than 5950).

Also confirmed UT Mon Feb 11 from 0401 on Area 51 webcast. Also
presumably on WBCQ 5139.48 which was a JBA carrier at 0351.

Also confirmed UT Mon Feb 11 at 0430 on WRMI webcast; at 0458 check,
9955 VP at S6-S7; after 0500 this week, webcast plays World Music.

Also confirmed Mon Feb 11 at 2353 the 2330 on WRMI 9955, S9S5; by 2359
lite jamming has ramped up. Last couple words of WOR are upcut by
music fill, as WRMI automation seems set up to overlap deliberately

** U S A. 3264.573, Feb 12 at 0001, JBA carrier vs storm noise from
western OK, as WBCQ is finally testing this transmitter again, first
tipped by Alan Pennington, UK to the WOR iog:

``WBCQ Monticello, Maine, USA testing 3265 kHz at present: "3265 kHz
on now with test transmissions. Reception reports to wbcq at wbcq dot
com please. Free Radio supreme here at WBCQ. Frozen north." (Allan
Weiner, WBCQ on Twitter 2010 UT) --- Continuous pop, rock, oldies on
3264.6 from 2020 tune-in, many repeated IDs finally heard at 2055,
good signal on SDRs in Rockport Maine (at 2020) and Newton, New
Hampshire (2035). Then talk show from 2100 (Financial Survival? re
7490 schedule). But not audible across here in Caversham, UK. 73, Alan
Pennington``.

Wolfgang Bueschel was also hearing it via remotes near WBCQ, the
frequency varying considerably. At 0149 I find it still on 3264.573
but also still a JBA carrier. After 0200 a trace of music; 0240 still
JBA carrier. Wonder how much power this is axually running, and what
type of antenna, gain? That could be asked of all WBCQ frequencies. Of
course 90m would have been much more useful in the quiet winter of
minimum storm noise, and minimum MUFs.

5130.49, UT Tue Feb 12 at 0156, WBCQ with `From the Isle of Music`
about to end, poor but better than // 7490.18. At 0157, 5130.49 cuts
to legal IDs by AW over and over, while FTIOM is still on 7490.18!
9330 is inaudible, off or propped out. At 0201-0202* sign-off
classical music on 5130.49 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7315 and much stronger 7385 are the active frequencies of
WHRI at 0308 and 0348 Feb 12, not 5920 or 7520 as on UT Sundays with
the Russian on the upper (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 27185, Feb 11 at 1915 on caradio, someone local is
transmitting a big hum on this prime CB frequency (Glenn Hauser, Enid
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 0437 UT February 12

** CHINA [non]. 6020, Feb 10 at 0103, CRI English, 300 kW, 305 degrees
via ALBANIA has a LAH, and CCI from some other talk. Hard to make out
sounding similar but not synchronized, so wonder if CRI from another
site in English? It is prime-time for such self-QRM, as per HFCC, at
01-02 CRI is also via Kashgar, East Turkistan, 100 kW, 209 degrees but
supposed to be in Urdu, not English. There is such a double-English
CRI broadcast at this hour on 6180, via Habana and Kashgar. 6020 does
not work out as a possible leapfrog from Cuba at this hour (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6010, Feb 10 at 0058, weak music // 5990 CRI relay not quite
off yet, i.e. the leapfrog again over 6000 which this time is an open
carrier prior to 0100 English. By 0102 5990 is off, 6000 in suptorted
RHC English, 6010 also off. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6100, Feb 10 at 0655, RHC still AWOL from this frequency as
has been for several nights now, so what will happen with the
scheduled weekly Sunday Esperanto at 0700 on 6100? Still nothing: all
RHC 49m frequencies off. If Esp`o weren`t RHC`s least important,
lowest priority language, they could have put it on some other
transmitter and/or frequency, as has happened before contrary to
schedule. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

15140, Sun Feb 10 at 1601, RHC Esperanto starting here on
unacknowledged frequency, as well as publicized 11760. Schedule
announcement at 1603 still claims first broadcast is at 0800 on 6100!
I seriously doubt they got 6100 back on the air just for that, but
zzzz unchecked. Previous weeks it has been at 0700 on 6100, contrary
to initial B-18 schedule, i.e. tacked on to end of English rotations.
During announcement of frequencies, deep fade at 1600 part, but I
think there was only one, i.e. not including 15140, which was added
months ago, other days only Spanish // 11760. Third broadcast to be
Sun 2330 on 15730, not confirmed lately (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15700, Feb 10 at 1514, CRI Plus relay in English is S9+30/40
but very suptorted; wiggle that patchcord! Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15311, 15255, 14968, Feb 10 at 1521, only traces of a few of
the plus/minus 26.8 kHz spur multiples from RHC 15140. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 9690-, Feb 10 at 1650, no signal from VON QRMing SBG from
SPAIN, via UTwente SDR, so another Sunday without the new 1630-
English broadcast heard most other days of week, in clear on weekdays
when Spain does not start until 1900 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

Delayed on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO. Ham radio shows still running UT

** U S A. 9955, Feb 10 at 1527, WRMI with song in Spanish instead of
The Full Gospel Hour, during weekend-only prolongation of this
frequency past 1500*. But at 1529 abruptly resumes huxtergasms of
Terry Blalock the Blaster. Must have been a lapse (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. 1660, Feb 10 at 1435 UT, speech affirming how global warming
is happening, also referring to astronomy, big reverb as if a sermon
in a church, but totally secular and rational --- until 1446 when Tom
starts mentioning Jesus, soon organ music. No doubt it`s KWOD Kansas
City KS, well atop lite CCI of sports talk, either Fargo or Waco. KWOD
is also sports-talk but departs to get religion on Sunday mornings
