Hauser
** BRAZIL. 6010.016, Feb 9 at 0710, JBA carrier, probably R.
InconfidÃncia, despite Aoki/NDXC listing as in a break 06-09 (and also
listing imaginary Mexico and probably same Colombia on 6010). See also
CUBA! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [non]. 6020, Feb 9 at 0025, CRI relay in English via ALBANIA
seems to be discussing how to say ``Get the show on the road`` in
Chinese; an idiom I assume cannot be translated literally.

There is also a LAH - low audible heterodyne on 6020. What could that
be? Only otherthing in EiBi is VOV-4 Vietnam. I suppose a trace could
be making it along grayline, and being off-frequency certainly fits
them. It`s 20 kW ND. DON`T YOU BELIEVE Brasil or Perà on 6020 still in
Aoki, both gone for YEARS! If RHC were on 6100 and 6060 at this hour,
a leapfrog of those could land on 6020 as I have previously heard
after 0500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non?]. 6080, Feb 9 at 0028, two weak carriers beating
from slightly different frequencies, one of them seeming Chinese.
Aoki/NDXC claims two within China are simulactive: until 0100, CNR1,
100 kW, 236 degrees via Golmud 916 site; and until 0530, PBS Hulun
Buir, 10 kW ND in Mongolian via Hailar. But also one other as 24h, R.
Marumby, Curitiba PR, Brasil, which may not be inactive, still in WRTH
2019 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. Unlike English, RHC Spanish is still making SW frequency
announcements at certain hours, which don`t always mesh with reality
--- but what do those non-SWLs know back in the studio?

11760, Feb 9 at 0000 tune-in, onesuch is in progress; missed the first
part that I will try to catch again. `...13740, 11840, 9640, 5040. A
partir de las 0000: 13740, 11670, 11840, 11950, 11700, 9640, 6000`` -
-- but NOT the very frequency I am tuned to, 11760! 11670, 11700 and
11840 are all suptorted, plus weak 11830/11850 spurs, never announced.

11950 also on, but *not* // the others because it`s the separate `Mesa
Redonda` TV soundtrack hour, // 6000 only --- something the announcer
does not comprehend by mixing those two in with the others. BTW, this
is UT Saturday, altho EiBi and NDXC/Aoki claim 00-01 6000 // 11950 are
on air Tue-Fri only. Maybe the UT Sat shows are irregular, or
confusion local vs UT days? Another frequency announcement is at 0400,
but just caught it ending at 0402 on 6060.

I then resolve two mysteries others have reported!

6010, Feb 9 at 0022, two carriers, so is Colombia really reactivated
along with Brasil? I barely make out some Spanish talk so the
assumption would be Colombia --- but NO, it`s // 5990 CRI relay! Now,
I get it: 6010 is a leapfrog mixing product of 5990 over 6000 (Cuba
can make broad jumps, but LFMPs are supposedly more apt between nearby
frequencies.) This is possible only between 00 and 01 when both are on
the air (unless they forget to turn at both of them off).

The other could still be Brasil, as no other broadcaster, major or
minor is known active during this hour (DON`T YOU BELIEVE Radio Mil,
Mexico, still in Aoki/NDXC, which has been gone for many YEARS). To
confuse matters further, RHC has some Brazilian trying to speak
Spanish, i.e. Portunhol, I have also heard at other times; maybe an
unusual temporary guest.

5990 is S9+20/30, and 6000 is S9+10. Since they leapfrog, the two must
be at the same site, despite Aoki showing different coÃrdinates: 5990
CRI as La Habana, and 6000 RHC as TitÃn-QuivicÃn. This is because only
the CRI relays are in HFCC as registered by the ChiCom, but not
specifying which of the three real sites. EiBi also reflects this.

Harold Frodge also reported RHC on an unlisted frequency: ``CUBA: 6090
Radio Habana Cuba; 0405, 2/4; W in EE reading list of phone #s &
addresses; 0407+ RHC ID. SIO=2+52+; no sign of robustly bountiful Rev.
Barbie or dead Dr. Gene (Frodge-MI)``

6090: so I am checking this out too: Feb 9 at 0401, no Anguilla, but
fast SAH of about 15 Hz, talk and music mixing. Now I get it! 6090 is
another leapfrog mixing product as confirmed by // audio: 5910 CRI
relay over 6000 RHC English, another 90 kHz higher. Both must be
TitÃn-QuivicÃn site here too. Leapfrogs do not make any SAH as the
result is a single ``transmission``, which however could be off-
frequency if either fundamental be; so what else is on 6090 now?
Surely R. Amhara, ETHIOPIA. The 6090 Cuban mix could be heard anytime
between 03 and 05, the 5910 CRI hours in English, Cantonese. Checked
at 0407 for reverse leap on 5820 but nothing audible there.

Let this be a lesson: before leaping to conclusions about something
exotic or reactivated, if you hear Spanish or any RHC language on a
band where Cuban transmitters also exist, consider a mixing product!
Something`s always wrong at RHC --- and fun for us (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, Feb 9 at 0030, RHC English is open carrier/dead air
except for a bit of scratchiness. Wiggle that patchcord! Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9640, Feb 9 at 0725, S9+10/20 of dead air except for some
hum; also 9535 dead at S9+10. Obviously RHC transmitters left on far
beyond sign-off time. I wonder if they were modulating earlier in
English or Spanish. 9535 is always quite weaker than 9640 here.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15311, 15283, 15255, 14997, 14969 approx., Feb 9 at 1351, JBA
28.6x kHz spurs barely detectable from RHC 15140.

Finally someone else reports these, Harold Frodge, Midland MI:
``15111.4, Radio Habana Cuba (presumed); 1545, 2/4; Just hints of
music; slightly drifty sig. 1942, still there & still on 15111.4; this
time with definite voice. Similar at 15168.8 so probably another 15140
RHC spur combo. âSomethingâs always wrong in Cuba.â Spurs, tornadoes &
meteor strikes. +++ 1933, 2/6; Same spur pair; distorted 15140 in
French; spur also on 15025 but not 15255`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. Superfluous jamming discourtesy of the incompetent
DentroCuban Jamming Command, where something is always wrong:

5960, Feb 9 at 0713, pulse jamming vs nothing, maybe spur out of 5980s

6125, Feb 9 at 0404, intermittent pulse jamming stray vs Turkey
deadair

12035, Feb 9 at 1355, occasional pulse jamming stray QRM to Turkey

11915-11945, Feb 9 at 1420, Heavy jamming against 11930 Martà is
splattering out at least plus/minus 15 kHz, more than usual

11845, Feb 9 at 1424, residual pulse jamming still here against long-
abandoned Martà frequency; and also vs 11860 which is M-F only unlike
all other RM usage; DCJC had been turning off 11860 weekends, maybe
forgot today, but by 1757 the only jamming is around 11930 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 3950 & 3990, Feb 9 at 0034, JBA carriers vs QRhaM,
presumed PBS Xinjiang --- checking for these after hearing the usual
grayline quartet of higher carriers all correlating with same Urumqi
station, 4500, 4850, 4980, 5060. 3990 & 4980 are in Uighur, part of
the ChiCom brainwashing scheme. However, Aoki shows PBS Gannan also
running this hour on 3990.

7205, Feb 9 at 0036, is more than a carrier, Asian wailing at S5-S8.
This could also be Xinjiang in Uighur, but CRI Mongolian via Beijing
site also scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. See MALAYSIA [non]

** MALAYSIA [non]. 9835, Feb 9 at 1351, S8-S4 of Russian with flutter,
so definitely VIRIran, not VOM.

Ron Howard replied to my yesterday`s unID: ``Hi Glenn, On Feb 8,
checking at 1120, 1247 & 1347, noted clear frequencies for both 9835
and 11665; no hint of any station at all. In the past, I would have
been hearing decent Malaysian signals on both frequencies (9835
Sarawak FM & 11665 Wai FM). So per my recent monitoring, their
schedule has significantly changed during the period I normally
listen. Ron, California``

And Mauno Ritola, Finland, replied to that also on the WOR iog: ``Hi
Ron, I don't think it is a schedule change, but for some reason they
have difficulties in keeping the transmitters on the air. 9835 kHz has
been inactive for quite a while. 11665 kHz was in operation on
Thursday, but as you say not yesterday and also today off. Mauno``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Feb 9 at 0718, VON S9+20 in African language about
Sierra Leone. Re my previous report of it missing, Dan Sheedy,
California replies:

Hi Glenn, just saw your 8 Feb 0653 non-log of VoN-7255. Oddly enough,
I was checking them out at 0623 8 Feb. & they were doing OK in Hausa,
so apparently their "doing OK" didn't last too long. Have a safe
weekend, good listening, & cheers from the beach. Dan`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PALAU. 9965, Feb 9 at 1345, YL in Japanese, undermodulated with
some hum, i.e. Furusato no Kaze; just a trace today of +/- 70 kHz
spurs on 9895 & 10035 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 6125, Feb 9 at 0404, 0412 and 0428 chex, S9-S9+10 of dead
air vs some occasional pulse jamming strays. Voice of Turkey is
failing to modulate English to North America! Something`s always wrong
at Emirler but at least it`s not 0.7 kHz off-frequency.

Regarding my previous report of Turkey in German way past 0000 UT Feb
6: ``the sloppyrators sometimes don`t get 5960 turned off by 2355 when
English finishes, letting it run with the next language on the feed
which is not supposed to be on any SW frequency. If such lapses be
totally random, sooner or later it will happen on Saturday into UT
Sunday and clash with The Mighty KBC`` --- Jay Novello, Wake Forest
NC, replies Feb 6:

``Glenn, it already has, on several occasions, including this past
weekend when they didnât pull the plug until around 0050. I wrote to
Eric van Willegen at The Mighty KBC about it, and he replied:

`Yes, the VOT is not following perfectly the rules. The Germans will
contact them again; hopefully it will work this time. Fingers crossed
for Saturday. It's not that easy to find a clear frequency; in the
past we had Radio China and Cuba suddenly on top of us. Have a great
week and we see you Saturday```

Which is exactly why, when KBC was looking for a new 49mb frequency, I
strongly recommended against this one. There is more to frequency
management than looking for openings in HFCC.

12035+, Sat Feb 9 at 1353, VOT English is poor in `Letterbox` until
1401 right into `Turkish Cuisine`, S9-S5, but you would need perfect
reception and a recorder to copy the recipe. Occasional stray pulse
jamming QRM.

13685.704, Sat Feb 9 at 1424, VP music, gone at 1452 recheck. It`s VOT
eastward in Uighur at 1330-1426 per Aoki/NDXC; neither that nor EiBi
(nor HFCC of course) reveal it can be off-frequency from 13685. Might
not be noticeable on weekdays with WINB non-DRM carriers covering
13685-13690 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 4724-USB // 8992-USB, Feb 9 at 0041, US military crypto
alfanumeric fonetik string with usual reverb and clix between
characters. EiBi calls these ``US Air Force Messages``, on six
frequencies all available 24 hours, the others being 6739, 11175,
13200 and 15016. But where are they, really? And are they significant
or mere exercise? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1968 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
February 9 at 1255 the 1230 on WRMI 9955, good S9. Not confirmed the
1531 Saturday via HLR 9485-CUSB, direct nor via UTwente. As Alan Gale
suggested, I also checked the Italy SDR during following semihour,
http://kiwisdr.briata.org:8073/
but not picked up there either. However, from England, Alan reports
this week:

``Hi Glenn, HLR was audible up until 1515 UT on 9485 kHz this
afternoon, but abruptly faded out here during Media Network Plus. I
switched to the Colle Sofia webSDR in Italy and World of Radio was
audible on there at 1530, though suffering a little splatter.

Interestingly though, it then faded in here again at 1550 UT and was
quite strong for the final 10 minutes. That was the first time that
I've heard it here on that frequency in weeks now, so that's a good
sign that propagation is improving as the days continue to lengthen.
I've attached a short mp3 of it. 73, Alan.`` Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. (7490), UT Sat Feb 9 circa 0105 when first checked, WBCQ
webcast, Allan Weiner political rant on `Worldwide`; At 0142 talking
about installing transmission line for the 500 kW, which is 9 inches
in diameter, looks like a pipe, to achieve 20 MW ERP out of the
pending #6 transmitter. Fuller report from John Carver:

``Tonight's show started I know not when. 7490 was nothing but noise
as was 9330. Waited a bit to see if something would start. Checked
5130 and the show was in progress. Found them in the middle of
political talk when I tuned in about 0105. A canned station ID is
broadcast every few minutes. Discussing the State of the Union address
at the moment. Harsh politics fade into the background and the talk
moves to the regular working man and the problems they have making a
living. Price of groceries. Price of non food items. States again to
never trust banks and get rid of one's credit cards. Also touches on
health care.

During a break Allan announces that they're broadcasting on 7490 and
9330. No mention of 5130 and no mention of what happened to the
militia program. Allan mentioned that they've started work on the new
transmitter so Allan and Angela are now in Maine. Mr. Transistor Norm
calls at 0135 chiding Allan for not being at the hamfest in FLA today.
Allan is excited about how well the transmitter project is coming
along. Some talk about fooling with the big transmission line to the
transmitter. Allan said that he and Angela would be back in FLA
sometime in March for awhile. He also predicted that radio will make a
comeback.

A dropped phone call prompts Allan to complain about getting a dozen
junk phone calls a day on his cellphone. Reading of emails at 0150
interrupted by a phone call from a gentlemen asking if there was an HD
shortwave radio available. Allan explained about DRM. Then into a
reading of the Free Radio News. Closing prayer at 0158. Program was
off the air at 0200. New program started then on 5130 and was not the
militia program. Didn't catch the name of the new program but it seems
to have something to do with professional wrestling. John, Mid-North
Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5970, Feb 9 at 0407, WEWN Spanish is gone again. They must
be having horrible problems keeping this thing on the air, and
modulated.

12050, Feb 9 at 1354, WEWN is at least on the air but dead air, or
JBM? at S6-S2; 1405 fully modulating Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5005 & 5020, Feb 9 at 0715, JBA carriers, likely
EQUATORIAL GUINEA about to fade out, and SOLOMON ISLANDS starting to
fade in (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 1850 UT February 9

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST by Alan Roe, Updated:
http://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm

** ANGUILLA. 11775, Feb 7 at 1858, CB/TUN/DGS/PMS is off again, having
been on at previous check 1455 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6060, Feb 8 at 0658* RHC English cuts off air just as I tune
in; 6100, 6165 and 5040 are already off. But outlier 6000 is still on,
starting to re-open English hour at 0659. By 0701 its air is dead.
Presumably it too will be offcut when the sloppyrators at the other
site get around to it. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 12300, Feb 8 at 1352, RHC is S8-S3 but surging up a bit, 2 x
6150 which is S9 to S9+10, both slightly distorted. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9965, Feb 8 at 1357 pulse jamming against nothing but a JBA
carrier probably FE, rather than Radio RepÃblica which left this
frequency many years ago. Something`s always wrong at the DentroCuban
Jamming Command. At least the J is here rather than upon 9955 WRMI
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15140, Feb 8 at 1412, RHC is S9 of dead air with SAH of about
2 Hz, no doubt OMAN. With no modulation, no spurs audible, while 15230
is nominal at S9-S7. At 1457 still S9+10 of dead air on 15140.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Feb 8 8at 0653, VON is still gone, no bigsig but a
JBA carrier maybe local device about 7255.75 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5130.461, UT Fri Feb 8 at 0240, this WBCQ is obviously on,
signature off-frequency, weak and just barely modulated, with what?
Never-up-to-date websked shows it totally off the air between 0330 UT
Wed and 0100 UT Sat (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475- & 5830, Feb 7 at 1855, both WTWW-1 frequencies are off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5970, Feb 8 at 0657, WEWN is S9+10 of dead air; Spanish
night frequency has been re-active last night or two, even with
modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15825 & 13845, Feb 8 at 1458 & 1535, WWCRs are S9+20, way
more than usual JBA signals, so rare February sporadic E opening in
play, as confirmed on 6m map with MUF up to 93 MHz over eastern USA.
I`ve had so little luck hearing any FM DX under such circumstances
that I don`t even try. By 1714 still Es, estimated MUF 81 MHz (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1370, Feb 7 at 2259 UT, I`m seeking KGNO Dodge City KS,
which at 5 kW ND ought to be audible on daytime groundwave here, but
never is; surely with skywave starting up? It`s 243 km = 151 miles
away. No sign of it; instead:

1370, Feb 7 at 2259 UT, ``Talk 13-70, one minute from CBS News``, But
Austin ID, 2300 CBS News and signal drops, i.e. KJCE Rollingwood TX.
But LSS there is not until 0015.

I have been unable to hear any trace of KGNO for more than a
sesquiyear, but can find NO information at FCC AM Query about it being
anything other than active: nothing in correspondence file about STA
for silence or reduced power, etc. Continues to be listed in NRC AM
Log with no notation about it being silent. Likewise at radio-
locator.com with link to website:
http://www.swksradio.com/kgno-am-1370/
and Listen Live link, so I do so at 1659 UT Feb 8: Yes, IDs as KGNO
1370, DC`s first radio station, just like on website: ``1370 KGNO is
Dodge Cityâs FIRST radio station! It was signed on in June of 1930``.
And into Fox ``news``. What is going on here? See my previous report:

``1370, Sept 28 [2017] at 1859 UT, still no signal audible from KGNO
Dodge City KS. Can`t believe it`s funxioning at 5 kW ND which should
be making it on daytime groundwave across the Ogallala Aquifer, only
205 km = 127 miles. Is it gone, QRP, or really out of whack direxional
away? (Glenn Hauser, Helena OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)``

This was a few days after Wayne Heinen, Denver, did report hearing it:
``1370, KGNO, KS, Dodge City â 9/24 2300 [EDT = 0300 UT 9/25] â Faded
up, âAM 1370 KGNO Dodge City,â to Fox News. Havenât heard this in
quite a while (Wayne Heinen, CO, NRC DX News Nov 13 [2017], published
Nov 5, via DXLD) Nor here yet; must be out of spex or out of air (gh,
OK)``

Is anyone currently hearing KGNO by DX or close to DC? (Glenn Hauser,
Enid OK, Feb 8, 2019, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1430, Feb 7 at 1923, rock music is fading in and out,
overcoming KTBZ Tulsa; suspect 50 kW KZQZ St Louis MO/IL, already
skywaving. Day pattern is ENE/WSW, our way, while 5 kW night pattern
is NNW/SSE with a null toward us. We are in the null of our nearest,
KALV Alva, hard to hear here protecting KTBZ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1480, Feb 7 at 2230, KBXD Dallas is still in Vietnamese like
in the morning, apparent infomercial for ``Forever Beaumore
Cosmetix``. At least two other Metroplex Vietnamese are on 1460 and
1600; also Houston 1560 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Feb 8 at 1328-1333:
774-NW, 828-NW, 837-WSW, 882-?, 1098-W, 1188-?, 1422-NW, 1566-NW. Just
after LSR at 1327 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9835.006, Feb 8 at 1401, S3-S6 JBA talk and music, first
suspected Malaysia which has been reported active on reduced schedule,
but more likely IRAN in Russian as also scheduled this hour only,
1320-1420 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 1805 UT February 8

DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS updated Feb 7:
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html

** ANGUILLA. 11775, Feb 7 at 1455, PMS is S9+20 but with squeal and
hum, not the clear signal someone else credited her with; at least on
the air at the moment, sporadically (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6100, Feb 7 at 0606, no signal from RHC English, so
apparently totally off from previous 05-07 UT sked. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 12300, Feb 7 at 1239, RHC is suptorted at S7-S8, checking
second harmonic right after 6150 at 1238, equally suptorted at S9+10;
wiggle that patchcord! Still the same at 1304 but weakened to S4-S6 on
the double; 1355 S6-S7 before off circa 1400. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9640 // 9535, Feb 7 at 1251, RHC in portunhol -- a Brazilian
trying to speak Spanish, among other interviewees about solidarity
issues such as the bloqueo (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9570, Feb 7 at 1301, CRI Plus English news relay is suptorted
but readable, S9+20. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15140, Feb 7 at 1448, no 28.6 kHz spurgalaxy audible, but
close-in hash out to 3.5 kHz above and below; unlike // 15230.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** GUATEMALA. 4055, Feb 7 at 0615, brief Spanish and English sign-off
announcements from Radio Verdad/Truth, into lengthy multiverse NA
until 0620 when open carrier remains on. S9+10/20 good signal now.
1232 recheck is S9+10, good with song, hymn vs lightning crashes from
central/eastern Oklahoma storms, which started yesterday after a quiet
winter, really impacting LW, MW and lower SW, but when close enough
within 2 miles, also audible against OKC FM stations (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Feb 7 at 0602, VON is on for a change, Hausa.

9689.92 approx., Thu Feb 7 at 1727-1738+, VON in English with news
about Nigeria, fair via UTwente SDR, and since it`s a weekday, no QRM
yet from Spain. Apparently new transmission intends to be daily, altho
missing last Sunday. Via WOR Hitlist, website https://www.von.gov.ng/
has no obvious link to a plain old SW transmission or program schedule.

Dave Kenny, UK, bdxc-news iog has just reported: ``Voice of Nigeria
heard on 9690 kHz this afternoon via the Tenerife SDR as follows:

1600-1615 in Arabic
1615-1630 in a vernacular, possibly Igbo or Yoruba ?
1630 - Sign-on in English, announced as the start of "two and a half
hours of the English service" So English should continue until 1900.

It looks as though this is a revised schedule with the extra broadcast
between 1600-1800 UT. Further checking needed to establish the evening
schedule after 1900 - but reception is difficult with co-channel Spain
at that time.

At the moment (1645) the signal is weak here, much better on the Kiwi
SDR in Tenerife. Dave`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. UNIDENTIFIED. 6925-AM, Feb 7 at 1309, S4-S6 rock
music with heavy beat, screaming, or is it soul? First thought is RCW,
Radio CompaÃÃa Worldwide, the Chilean pirate mostly reported by
Claudio Galaz in Chile. But no, it`s too late for that, way after
sunrise there.

Must be North American, unusual activity in the morning or possibly
trans-Pacific. Still there at 1330 talk or rap? 1340 thumping. Still
JBA carrier at 1456. Two more unID logs of it between 1437 and 1641:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,50802.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PALAU. 10035, Feb 7 at 1245, VP signal with music. Has to be
spurious from 31m SWBC band here in the aero band. First check for
Cuba, of course! but no match on 9640. Then start tuning down and soon
find // on 9965, good signal, 70 kHz away. Clinched with an equally
weak spur on 9895, 70 kHz below 9965, all with praise music in
English. 1259 `Onward Christian Soldiers` theme and 1300 chimes, into
Korean. Aoki shows T8WH with WHR music before 1300 M-F, then Nippon no
Kaze daily. HFCC shows HBN 9965 not the air before 1300, then
Encompass brokering something in Korean.

EiBi agrees about 9965 before and after 1300, but also shows PLW on
9960 at 12-13 daily with Khmer Post Radio --- really, 5 kHz adjacent
from same site? I noticed nothing between 9965 and 9955 WRMI with RAE
in Brazuguese before 1255 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 4840, Feb 7 at 1235, TOMBS, creeping takeover
of more and more time on WWCR-3, now scheduled M-F 07-13 and Sat 10-
13. Guess what, at tune-in he`s pushing for phonecalls as he spends an
incredible amount of time doing --- but if even 1% of those give him
money, it`s worth it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Feb 6 at 2318, REE English segment, blues music,
then interview with musician Steve Groves (?), who has stopped over in
Spain to talk with Justin Coe, more music, 2323 ``All Trumped Up``.
Excellent reception S9+20/30 with no QRM or transmission problems.
2330 timesignal and into French which is M-F unlike English M/W/F. But
0101 Feb 7 recheck in Spanish, has faded to S9-S6 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1968 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday February
6 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, but opening is upcut after my first words with
the program number, S9 to S9+10; and 10 seconds later on WBCQ
7490.13v, S9 to S7. Also confirmed UT Thursday Feb 7 at 0100 on WRMI
7780, poor S7-S5. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9387-9388 & 9402-9403, Feb 7 at 1255, wobbly distorted
spurblobs from 9395 WRMI transmitter during TOMBS. Very unusual for
any WRMI to have such a problem. Still so at 1451 recheck, at least
the lower one (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9470, Feb 7 at 1253, WEWN in English poor with flutter S6-
S4. This obscure transmission at 09-13 is at 335 degrees polar route
to Asia. Doubt it is heard any better overthere (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 860, Feb 7 at 1412 UT, KKOW Pittsburg KS is unusually weak,
and nulling that I have anotherstation playing ``Hey Jude``; 1418
``Greatest Hits of the 60s & 70s on your smartphone --- Kono-land``,
so KONO San Antonio TX, 5000/900 watts U2, still rockin`. NRC AM Log
slogan reads ``70s & 80s`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1480, Feb 7 at 1405 UT, lively W&M conversation in
Vietnamese, lots of laughter. Got to be KBXD Dallas, 50 kW direxional
day power, which easily overcomes KQAM Wichita while skywave lingers.
Its major daytime lobe aims right at us. Listed in NRC AM Log as
religious/brokered, Spanish, so how much of it is in Vietnamese or
otherlangs? Radio-locator claims it has no website. It`s not the only
Vietnamese in The Metroplex (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. RE: KRZD-1550 mentioned in gh log of KAPE-1550 also in MO:
Hi Glenn. This still isn't on -- I drive by their tower site at Kansas
Expressway and Grand St. every day on my way to work [at KSMU] and
there is definitely no local signal here. As you would expect this
time of year, 1550 is a mess of skywave around 7:45 am and 5 pm
Central. 73, (Randy Stewart, Springfield (Battlefield) MO, Feb 4, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) Station is or was nothing but a continuous TIS-like
barker for the nearby Branson tourist trap (Glenn Hauser, DXLD)

** U S A. 1580, Feb 7 at 1358 UT, with KOKB Blackwell OK to the NE
nulled as much as possible, I have something else: Colorado Springs is
the largest city of the state in area (well, OK, but nevermind greater
Denver with all its surrounding suburbs). Missed ID but 1400 UT into
USA Radio News, 1403 Chuck Swindle show. So it`s KFCS The Trumpet as
the latest CO 1580 incarnation, 10 kW ND day power (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN [non]. 9695, Feb 7 circa 1245, strong and steady open
carrier. O, of course, it`s Greenville-B, not turned off yet after
Vatican`s morning relay in Spanish curtailed to only 15 minutes from
1230; violating Separation of Church & State (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 880, Feb 7 at 1408 UT, with KRVN nulled as much as
possible, Spanish M&W chat, bits of norteÃa music, mentions Nuevo
LeÃn, 1412 fading, 1417 back with ID mentioning 880. Loops approx.
SW/NE and my first thought is XEV Chihuahua2, but IRCA Mexican Log
says: XEV has finished moving to FM, but from 2017 there has been a CP
for another station there, XECHEP, 5000/250 watts, EscÃpate al
Paraiso. Unless that`s started up, the only other likely N/W Mexican
this late would be XEPNK, Los Mochis, Sinaloa.

Rather I suspect being faked out again by WIJR Highland IL, which per
NRC AM Log is 1700/160/500 U4 from an address in Overland MO (St Louis
market), as ``La Primera 880 AM, La Raza``. The only other USA SS
possibilities would be WMDB in Nashville TN, rather late for that
further east; and KJOZ Conroe TX but religious in the wrong direxion
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6159-USB, Feb 7 at 0604, 2-way in colloquial Spanish,
INTRUDERS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9354-USB, Feb 7 at 1259, VP 2-way in Spanish? vs carrier
on 9355, i.e. VOA Thailand about to start Deewa Radio to Afghanistan
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
