Hauser
** CUBA. 6000, UT Wed Feb 6 at 0238, RHC S9+10 but just barely
modulated, enough to recognize it`s Arnie, during DXers Unlimited; the
sole // 6165, S9 is only slightly louder. Arnie is unwilling or unable
(or unknowledgeable?) to get RHC modulation fixed even when he himself
is trying to communicate. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15111.4, Feb 6 at 1430, JBA carrier, -28.6 kHz spur from
15140, S9+30 RHC, only one obvious today. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 7295, Feb 6 at 1434, usual mix with SAH of
Furusato no Kaze QRMing itself via JAPAN and TAIWAN; 1435 Japan goes
off clearing Taiwan. FnK is also scheduled from 1430 on 9960 via
PALAU, where there is soft YL talk at S9+10; splash from some
downunderite on 9955 evitable by USB tuning. Sounds the same as on
7295, but far from synchronized (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1300, Feb 6 at 1402, Spanish in the QRM with 7:02 TC,
mention Ciudad JuÃrez, temp in C; surely XEP but losing out to Tulsa.
ID not heard but it`s now ``Fiesta Mexicana`` per Tim Hall and WRTH.
No lower XEs being heard this long after LSR, 1329. Its 38 kW day
power helps.

Even earlier and at night I have been hearing zilch from XEROK 800,
with KQCV OKC nulled. XEROK must be back on QRP if on the air at all
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 9689.918, Wednesday Feb 6 at 1732, VP carrier, no doubt
VON in English as Dave Kenny, BDXC-UK has just tipped hearing today. I
first heard it on Saturday, not on Sunday, not sure about Monday, but
not even on Tuesday later to het Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1170, Feb 6 at 1400 UT I notice that KFAQ Tulsa goes to
CBS News --- not a network for them in NRC AM Log; I`m sure Wayne will
tell us if that change has already been noted (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 9690V, Feb 6 at 0025, REE with music, but carrier is
wobbling a bit --- or is it CCI? Only competitor at this hour is KBS
in Vietnamese, doubtful to be heard here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 5960.003, Feb 6 at 0030, music at S9+10/S8, soon
recognizably Turkish as expected. Will it also be the sporadic German
hour from VOT? Yes, 0034 announcement in German. Very slightly offset
plus; I don`t recall this one ever being found on 5960.7 like so many
other Emirlerians. The point is, 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 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 12035.7, Feb 6 at 1420, VOT English off-frequency today,
only VP S5-S6, while better Turkish is close to 11815.0 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 420 kHz, Feb 6 at 0705 I manage to pick out IDs of two NDBs,
each 25 watts: FQ, Fairmont MN; and PK, Olathe-Herbb KS (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7385, Feb 6 at 0333, this WHRI is off, while 7315 and 5920
are on; regarding the 7520 Russian during this hour UT Sundays only, I
had assumed missing 7385 would be on as scheduled the other days of
week, but it isn`t.

Peter Hansen had pointed out that in the B-18 season, WHRI has not
been running more than two transmitters at once, altho they allegedly
have 2 x 500 kW and 1 x 100 kW in SC per WRTH. What happened to the
other one? Note that ``Angels`` 1, 2, 5 and 6, are not individual
transmitters but rather programming streams (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Not that the ignorant, incompetent, corrupt, unqualified,
childish, vain, pink-eyed, minority-``elected`` anti-American, acting
president Drumpf deserve any more mouthpieces, but the State of the
Union address would normally lead to a number of pre-emptions on radio
stations.

So while he`s on TV, Feb 6 at 0244, I start hunting for him. How about
SW --- will any US SW station carry him, such as the vehemently pro-
Trump WBCQ? NO, 7490 is off as usual at this hour; 9330 a JBA carrier,
presumably still TOMBS. 5130.4+ is VP on with else, presumably the ham
show. 5085, WTWW-2 is also on with something else, presumably the
other ham show, but amazingly weak and even bothered by that ute on
5081 which normally it blasts away here. Nor found on any of the other
private US SW frequencies audible, WHRI, WWCR, WRMI, WINB.

Surely the USAGM outlets are Drumpfing, but of course VOA has no
English SW broadcasts at all between 22 and 03 UT! At 0304, however, I
find he is on 6030, Radio MartÃ, with translation. Supposed to be //
7435 but not heard there. BTW, RM is the very first station under USA
International, page 499 of WRTH 2019; why? In 2018 it was the sixth.
And why isn`t it in the clandestine pages, as Cuba would surely agree?

At 0252 I start scanning the MW band, compared to cable TV audio, and
most of the stations are running a good many seconds ahead; one must
pause to allow for the too-frequent applause breaks, which could be
confused with IBOC noise. I`m not digging deeply, as there would
surely be more in the QRM if I tried. Most of the stations are obvious
here without trying to DF or ID them: 570, 600, 700, 770, 780, 790,
820, 850, 870-D, 890-D, 1000, 1040, 1080, 1110, 1160, 1170, 1200,
1420, 1520, 1690. D means audio delayed behind cable TV on those
stations. But many major stations dumped Drumpf, kept with regular
format of talk, sports or music, such as WSM, WSCR, WGN, KRMG, WJR,
WHB, WCCO, WHAS, KOA, KKOW, KRVN, WTAM, KMOX, KWKH, KSTP,
WLAC, WCKY.

Finally before the blather is over, I survey FM: nowhere except on
public radio 88.1 KWOU Woodward, 91.7 KOSU OKC. Even the numerous
gospel huxters aren`t with him! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15196-USB, Feb 6 at 1507, VP 2-way in Spanish, INTRUDERS
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Hauser
** CUBA. 12300, Feb 5 at 1349, JBA second harmonic of RHC 6150; I
don`t usually scan this area, but seek it since Wolfgang Bueschel
recently heard it remotely with a strong signal; not today, but nearby
fundamentals are very strong: 11950 S9+40 and 11760 S9+10/20.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13634, 13767, 13833, 13900 approx., Feb 5 at 1450, FMish
spurs out of 13700-AM RHC, but extremely distorted and unreadable in
any mode; standard intervals of about 67 kHz above and below.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13779.24, Feb 5 at 1453, this RHC fundamental at S9+20 has
again been knocked way off-frequency from 13780.00. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15370, Feb 5 at 2152, RHC is VP S5, JBM in Arabic? As
supposed to be per EiBi until 2200, then a bihour of Spanish; so no
constellation of FM spurs audible today; might have been if a regular
bigsig and modulation. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR. 9515, Feb 5 at 2027, S4-S6 of lo-key music, seems like
a repeating loop, so IS? Listed as AWR French via Talata from 2000,
125 kW at 320 degrees also USward. Off at 2028* without announcement
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Feb 5 at 0725, one more day with no VON, nor on
9690-; no LAH to 9690 Spain either around 2000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9785, Feb 5 at 1429, JBA carrier, 1430 JBA timesignal,
presumed VOT starting Kazakh. Checking here after finding 12035.7
preceding English was already off by 1429 today; to fathom whether I
can hear the next frequency, the next time sloppyrators fail to turn
off 12035V in time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1968 monitoring: confirmed first SWBC this
week, Tuesday February 5 at 2030 on WRMI 7780, S9-S5, after 2029.5
Rudy Espinal ID and a second of music intruding. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490.17v, Tue Feb 5 at 2032, WBCQ S9-S6 with mixture of
blues and country music, then ``Pirate Joe Extravaganzo`` as J. P.
Ferraro`s show earlifies WBCQ sign-on Tuesdays only to *2000 (from DST
season even earlier *1900 despite increasing daytime absorption); 2046
``WHVW`` singing ID for his own originating station in Hyde Park NY
(Poughkeepsie address), which on 950 is only 500/57 watts U1 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475-, Feb 5 at 2028, no signal from WTWW-1 --- oh oh, has
Ted done it again, left the night frequency on allday? Evidently, as
5830 is indeed on at S9+10/20 with PPPP. But 5085, WTWW-2 is not on
now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 750, Feb 5 at 1404 UT, `Newstalk 750 KBNN and 104.3``, i.e.
5 kW ND daytimer in Lebanon MO, overcoming KMMJ. Seldom heard other
than at sunrise; last logged April 25. NRC AM Log has no FM. WTFDA DB
shows no 104.3 corresponding either, but per both, KMMJ Nebraska
*does* have a 104.3 translator. Sure did not sound like it at the
time, but the ID I heard must have been a mixture of the two. KBNN
website is the least important part of http://www.myozarksonline.com/
cluster, showing little about it except a low-res logo and link to
public file. The logo does say Talk, if not News-Talk, while KMMJ is
religious (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 405 kHz, Feb 5 at 1340 UT just after sunrise, NDB HRU, which
is 25 watts from Herington, Kansas, south of Junxion City on US 77
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 420 kHz, Feb 5 at 0730 UT, two JBA NDBs clashing at same
pitch, very hard to unravel; no dash, not Canadian. DXinfocentre.com
shows only four Americans, all 25 watts: CFY, Lake City-Evans SC; FQ,
Fairmont MN; PK, Olathe-Herbb KS; TU, Tupelo-Verona MS.

I`ve heard FQ before, and PK would be the closest. Classaxe.com shows
additional details such as frequency offset (meaning A2 pitch?), and
length in seconds of each ID sending. From that, the closet pitch
matches would be CFY and PK, both 1018 USB, periods 5.7 and 5.5, which
means that very slowly their overlap will be shifting. FQ is not close
enough, at 1035 Hz; rules out TU at only 383 USB. All four have been
logged this year (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5055-USB, Feb 5 at 1358, weak 2-way in Spanish rather
than 4KZ; various numbers but seems weather info, also verbalizing
mÃxima, nublado, fresco, evaporaciÃn (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15345.069, Feb 5 at 1524, JBA carrier I have often
noticed before but not measured precisely. Look it up: Nothing on
15345 ever in HFCC, EiBi and Aoki! Could it be another Cuban spur I
have overlooked? It is 205.069 kHz above 15140, but not a multiple of
28.6. Maybe a spur of something else or a local device? Try for it
again three sesquihours later at 1954: yes, JBAC still there but
slightly shifted to 15345.053.

Unless anyone else hear it, I shall conclude it`s local, inaudible
beyond my radio room. (Computer produces many more stronger birdies on
SW which I always ignore.) Remember when 15345 had two variable off-
frequency stations het-clashing, Argentina and Morocco? Now both gone
from SW as if they knocked each other out (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

Hauser
** CUBA. 15700, Feb 4 at 1440, CRI English relay is strong and
distorted: wiggle that patchcord. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15426.045, Feb 4 at 1506, RHC JBA squishyspur measured here,
and the next one about 15397.46, i.e. 28.585 kHz apart, i.e. tenth and
ninth multiples away from source 15140. One on the minus side about
14968.39, i.e. 171.61 kHz below 15140, the sixth multiple. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Feb 4 at 0654, another night with no VON, nor on
9690-. 7255 heard only one night the past week (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WORLD OF RADIO 1968, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1967 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
February 3 at 2140, the 2130 on WRMI 7780; poor-fair.

Also confirmed UT Monday February 4 at 0230 on WRMI 5950, S9-S6, but
// 9395 a JBA carrier.

Not confirmed UT Mon Feb 4 circa 0400 on Area 51 webcast; instead the
Zombo music show keeps on playing past 0500; running way late, maybe
distracted by a SBG? At 0431, WBCQ 5130.47 is JBA. WOR must have
started about 0505 since at next check 0513 it`s 8 minutes in. So if
you don`t hear WOR at 0400, stay tuned! [WORLD OF RADIO 1968]

Also confirmed UT Mon Feb 4 at 0430 on WRMI 9955 JBA, but VG on
webcast, once again following ``Hallelujah`` song fill from 0425 and
not finished when I take over.

Also confirmed Mon Feb 4 at 2330 on WRMI 9955, F-G, no jamming yet.

Also confirmed UT Tue Feb 5 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, G-VG.

** U S A. (5130.47), UT Mon Feb 4 at 0550, WBCQ presumably still on
late along with Area 51 webcast amid `Hobart Radio International`,
which must have started about 0534 instead of 0430, with ``Jordan`s
Corner``, featuring some old DX recordings including KULA, RENB, KYOY
[sic; KYOI]. Apparently Jordan Heyburn, UKOGBANI has moved his segment
here from suspended IBC Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7780, Feb 4 at 2250 on caradio, RAE relay in Italian; by
2255 it`s over, and Bob Biermann ID claims to be on 9395 (only)! into
gospel music fill until 2300 cut to Blalock the Blaster. It seems that
WRMI is no longer always trying to ID at :59 or :29, even if there is
a break between programs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Correct date for the MW bandscan from 2015 UT was Jan 30,
not 20 as typo in original report (gh, DXLD)

** U S A. 770, Feb 4 at 1401 UT, KKOB Albuquerque in well with local
news and traffic, on 50 kW ND a quarter-hour earlier now in February.

660, Feb 4 at 1401 UT, not hearing KTNN at first vs TX/NE?, maybe late
switch to 50 kW ND day, but there it is at 1408 UT in Navajo with lots
of English inserted like ``Senate Indian Affairs Committee``, and 1411
would you believe a Homecare Solutions LLC commercial mostly in
Navajo. Fading out by 1413 while 770 KKOB is still in.

880-CUSB, Feb 4 at 1415 UT, finally getting some KHAC with gospel
huxter in English, KRVN nulled.

Re: "But the DB makes no connexion with KHAC 880, despite a blank
field for // source of programming! Likewise, the NRC AM Log entry for
880 KHAC makes no mention of any FM (nor the very significant fact
that 880 suppresses LSB)."

Wayne Heinen, Editor AM Radio Log, replies: ``Glenn, Addition of
slogan "Western Indian Network" was published in DX News in September
after the Log was completed. Also they are not totally in // with the
FM they have separate programming. The reports I received indicated
that KWIM is generally //KTBA-760``

``Wayne, O yes, I think we had a similar exchange previously. All I
know is that when I logged 880 they were jointly IDing with 104.9``

1000, Feb 4 at 1419 UT, gospel huxter in English making slow SAH with
KTOK OKC nulled as much as possible; i.e. KKIM Albuquerque now on 10
kW ND day power, standard SAH (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1968,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1140, re my report about KCXL, Liberty MO, Raymie Humbert,
AZ, replies Jan 27 on the WTFDA Forum: ``Worth noting that IHR and
Relevant Radio merged in 2017 to create a much larger Relevant Radio,
though Immaculate Heart survived as the licensee`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1270, Feb 4 at 1428 UT, looping NNE/SSW, `Unlocking the
Bible` is finishing (? I have several that are not locked), 1429
``Faith Radio`` ID and promos, ``Sioux Falls at AM 1270``; 1430
Keloland TV Weather Center forecasts highs and lows: +3/-4/+11 F. It`s
KNWC. I am trying to recall the original call of this but FCC AM Query
claims it has always been KNWC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1470, re my report about KWSL, Sioux City IA, Raymie
Humbert, AZ, replies Jan 27 on the WTFDA Forum: ``Alex "El Genio"
Lucas is a national syndicated show`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** VATICAN [non?]. 15635, Feb 4 at 1456, here`s something new: speaker
in Arabic just as loud as the voice-over flying translation to
English, maybe live? Defends the Muslim world. Mentions ``holy
father`` and ``my brother the pope``, S9-S5, continues past 1500; 1504
announcer says ``you are listening to Grand Imam ----`` something, and
more. But off at 1510 recheck. Smax of an ad-hoc Vatican Radio
broadcast, but why?

Because pope is visiting UAE, so maybe a live event. Later I see this:

``Vatican Media is going to have two special broadcasts on occasion of
the Papal trip to UAE, namely:

Monday 4th February 2019, UT 1400-1515
15635 kHz, English, to the Gulf / Horn of Africa
11835 kHz, Arabic, to Middle East

Tuesday 5th February 2019, UT 0550-0800
15645 kHz, English, to the Gulf / Horn of Africa
11810 kHz, Arabic, to Middle East``
(Mauno Ritola on WRTH - World Radio Tv Handbook Facebook group,
3 Feb via Alan Pennington, bdxc-news iog)

Guess what: the only 15635 entry in the latest HFCC of Feb 1 is a
``reservation`` by Lviv, Ukraine at 06-08 UT! That`ll be the day.

So is this direct from SMG with typical huge backlobe, if aimed toward
the ME; or is it some other relay such as MADAGASCAR, which could also
provide such a good signal here, unlike much else from E Hemisphere on
19m now?

I suspect the latter, since known SMG site on nearby 15550, the Sudan
Service of FPU, even tho 250 kW at 150 degrees, is much weaker (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Feb 4 at 0700-
0706, performed after noting a het upon 1000 KTOK this late;
presumably from the more westerly Europortions: 621, 747, 855, 908.83

** CUBA. 6100, Feb 3 at 0652, RHC English is off --- has it been
completely off? Still running jazz on 6000 S9+20 suptorted, 6060 VG
S9+20/30, 6165 G S9+10/20, 5040 S9+20/30 but distorted and squealing.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15397.44, 15311.64, 15168.61, Feb 3 at 1507, approx. measured
JBA squishyspurs out of RHC 15140 today, not bothering to track the
matching lower ones at 28.6 kHz intervals. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUATEMALA. 4055, Feb 3 at 0655, S9+10 of JBM music. I have been
presuming anything on 4055 would be TGAV, even if it`s on an hour
later than usual --- but pirates are increasingly active on the 4 MHz
band and one of them could come on 4055 after R. Truth is finished. In
general, TGAV signal earlier in evening has been weaker than usual, so
QRP? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGST)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Feb 3 at 0656, no signal from VON; nor any audible
on 9690-.

9689.97, Sunday Feb 3 at 1655 check via UTwente, REE stupid ballgame
coverage on 9690.0 has no LAH from VON today, unlike yesterday`s new
English block. With VON you never know whether what they are doing be
intentional or random (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 11815.7, Feb 3 at 1510, TRT in Turkish is bumped off-
frequency today, S7-S4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1550, Feb 3 at 1458 UT, ``Cape Radio 100.3`` with event
calendar info about somethings in Cottonwood, Cape Girardeau. 1459 UT
ToH legal ID goes ``Cape Radio 100.3 and 1550 KAPE, Cape Girardeau``,
Missouri. Guess what, top-billed 100.3 has its own callsign, K262AX,
but announcing that would give away that it`s but a puny translator.
1550 a dominant signal still a sesquihour after sunrise here. Is on 5
kW daypower, direxional, circle pattern tangent westward. Has no
problem overcoming 1550 KRZD Springfield MO, 5 kW ND, more than
halfway between us, if it`s really on the air (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

Hauser
A couple slight correxions:

Add that it was dead air:

** CUBA. 5990, Feb 3 at 0116, S9+10/20 of dead air;
obviously the sloppyrators at
RadioCuba have failed to turn off the
CRI relay transmitter before
0100. Too bad that RHC English next
door on 6000 is notably weaker,
only S9+10 but suptorted; while // 6165
is sufficient. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

before 1230, not 2030:

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1967
monitoring: confirmed Saturday
February 2 at 1230 on WRMI 9955, VP S1
but readable. Before 1230 it
should have been on 5045-LSB, Unique
Radio, NSW, as on alternate
weeks.
