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

** EAST TURKISTAN. See TURKEY [and non]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2130 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to NE

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

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

UNIDENTIFIED. 12000, Jan 27 at 1435, mystery open carrier at S8-S5
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 1748 UT January 27

** AUSTRALIA. 5055, Jan 26 at 1158, very poor music JBA, presumably
4KZ Queensland; snooze and next check at 1450, still a JBA carrier
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 9630.5, Jan 26 at 0702, no signal from R. Aparecida, and
has been missing for several nights now at various chex (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 366, Jan 26 at 0718, ND beacon, dash and YMW, which is 500
watts from Maniwaki, Quebec. See also USA for five more (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [non]. 6020, Jan 26 at 0342, bad collision between two
stations: CRI in Chinese via ALBANIA to North America; and some
Arabish language with brief English clip, about as strong, i.e. per
HFCC, FPU via MADAGASCAR at 0330-0400, 250 kW at 327 degrees, which is
also USward! I.e. really Radio Tamazuj for Sudan South (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9720, Jan 25 at 2249, RHC in English, S9+20, so manages to
emit proper language this hour today! Something`s not wrong at RHC.
This is supposedly aimed 130 degrees toward South Africa, but a bigsig
back here where I bet they reach a lot more listeners than after
midnight there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5990, Jan 26 at 0015, CRI Spanish relay is suptorted =
modulation suppressed and distorted. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba. Mark Coady, Ont., monitored the same the earlier hour in
English: ``5990 CUBA CRI at 2301 with a woman with âCRI Newsâ - Fair
signal but absolutely crappy audio Jan 25 Coady-ON â Another example
of how Cuba treats their customers with disrespect and contempt``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15700, Jan 26 at 1510, CRI English relay is S9+30 but
distorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 4081-USB, Jan 26 at 0348 music must be a pirate (in
absence of any to be heard on 6.9 MHz band), but unfortunately this
lands right amid local-device blob (cable box or computer?) which I
cannot evade. 0350 YL (Synthyl?) ID as ``You are tuned to ----
shortwave radio ----``, followed by a 6-note tune repeated over & over
(IS?), 0354 on to heavy beat music; 0405 another YL ID, ``Thank you
for listening to ----`` but again cannot copy the significant words,
and off. Answer is here from a few other logs:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,50427.0.html
Mix Radio International, heard as early as 0230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. RF19, Jan 26 at 1555 UT, KAUT OKC ex-RF-40 is barely
decoding, during minor Level-1 tropo enhancement over central OK, also
southern KS, maybe source of some of the only other non-normal Bad
signals on RF 22, 31, 42. I suspect it`s just the tropo, KAUT not yet
up to repacked par; nothing visible in afternoon (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 9739.920, Jan 26 at 1516, VP S2-S3 wobbly carrier, gone
already at 1528. Only thing scheduled is AWR Nepali via Trincomalee,
traditionally off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTEING DIGEST)

** SWAZILAND. 9585, Jan 26 at 1513, S5-S7 in Special French about
Dieu, J-C. It`s 100 kW TWR at 1455-1525 in Malgache/French at 64
degrees, following another 1418-1453 in other languages at 5 degrees.
May well be the only African on band now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 25 at 2303, no signal from V of Turkey English to
NAm; by 2344 a JBA carrier, from Urumqi *2330? VOT should be audible,
as Romania DRM noise is detectable around 5980. Seems this
transmission is missing more often than not. In case Emirler
sloppyrators keep forgetting to change frequencies after previous
nocturnal emissions, or are sound asleep, these are they, frequencies
to check after 2300 in absence of 5960:

-2130 French on 9625, 5970
-2200 Turkish on 6120, 5980
-2230 English on 9610
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 383, Jan 26 at 0708 UT, ND beacon CNP, which is 25 watts
from Chappell, Nebraska, which is on I-80 midway between Ogalalla and
Sidney just above the NE Colorado frontier.

379, Jan 26 at 0710, ND beacon RUE, which is 25 watts from
Russellville, Arkansas. I`m tuned to 380-USB mixing with two others
all at different pitches, this one lowest. Russellville, halfway
between Fort Smith and Little Rock on I-40, barely escapes the NE
quadrant to here, into the SE.

382, Jan 26 at 0712, ND beacon SP mixing with RUE, but SP at a higher
pitch as I am still tuned to 380, i.e. 25 watts from Springfield,
Illinois. I would much rather hear the SP on 386, 50 watts from St
Pierre as in Miquelon.

380?, Jan 26 at 0715, as I am still tuned to 380, a third and weakest
beacon is fading out and in at highest pitch, BXN? The only letter I
am certain of is B-. Nothing very close to match at DXinfocentre,
beyond 380 BBD Brady TX; or per
https://www.classaxe.com/dx/ndb/rna/signal_list
380, UBX in Cuba, Missouri, but not logged since Dec 2005. Ideas?

375, Jan 26 at 0717, ND beacon DS, which is 25 watts from Searcy,
Arkansas, NE of Little Rock, and home of Harding Univ., where an early
HS girlfriend escaped from Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1966 monitoring: Ivo Ivanov,
Bulgaria confirms: ``GERMANY, Reception of World of Radio via HLR on
6190 CUSB, Jan 26:
https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2019/01/reception-of-world-of-radio-via-hlr-on_22.html
0730-0800 6190 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg to CeEu English Sat, fair signal``

I`m awake Sat Jan 26 at 1200 so confirm WINB 9265 is off, no longer
carrying Unique Radio programming including WOR. Unique Radio itself
in NSW would be airing WOR at this time but alternate weeks, Feb 2 &
16, so no signal now, but I am getting bits of 5055, see AUSTRALIA.
I`m asleep again, so unchecked at 1230 for WOR on WRMI 9955.

Next to check is 9485-CUSB from 1531 Sat for Hamburger Lokalradio with
WOR --- as usual, absolutely no signal here, but none either via
UTWente SDR when brought up at 1553. Alan Gale, England, also reports:

``Hi Glenn, Yet again nothing was heard on 9485 kHz here so I can't
confirm if World of Radio was on or not. I thought conditions might
have improved a bit now as the days get longer, but no luck so far. I
will keep making my weekly check just in case it returns again. Alan``

** U S A. Survey of what`s on the WRMIs, Friday Jan 25 at 2250+:

9955, VORW
9395 // 7780, Spanish poetry about the tango, i.e. RAE relay; supposed
to be RAE Italian on 7780, Oldies on 9395; or RAE Italian on both
5950, bass strumming, Italian talk, so RAE relay; both 5950 & 9395
supposed to be Oldies
5850, gospel huxter in English, on air Fri only: Yeshua P&P, which
knocked WOR out of this good slot several months ago
5010, Spanish not // 9395/7780 where RAE Spanish supposed to be (only)
4980, SMTV in Spanish at the moment

And checking the same at 2304+ Friday Jan 25:

9955, Spanish DX program about El Salvador: La Rosa de Tokio
9395 // 5950, also SMTV, no echo! 9395 supposed to be Oldies
7780, Blalock the Blaster with huxtergasms
7570, dead air. TOM supposed to start at 2300
5850, Radio Tirana in English, VG, Fridays only
5010, not checked; Family Radio Programa A is scheduled
4980, SMTV with echo on audio; see above 9395 // 5950
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7489.890, Fri Jan 25 at 2254, WBCQ off-frequency-minus for a
change, last few minutes of `Behaviour Night` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. (7490), I`m busy elsewise, so miss the start of `Allan
Weiner Worldwide` UT Sat Jan 26 from 0100, but John Carver quickly
reported: ``Glenn. 7490 might be running AWWW but I can't pick it out
of the noise. 5130 has the militia and no signal on 9330. Sorry man.
Will keep listening to static and checking the other frequencies for
at least a half hour. Really wish that Allan would keep 5130 clear
during his show for a relay so those of us that are internet-
challenged could still at least hear AWWW every week. John``

It`s running on the webcast which I tune in at 0112, as AW is ranting
against Speaker Pelosi, so tune out at 0113. Did anyone else hear any
significant apolitical info in rest of hour about programming changes
or progress on Superstation? Recheck webcast at 0200, AWWW still
running until 0208 or so; formerly cut himself off at 0200, so no
programming to follow any more? Had been `Dead Frog Radio` at 02-04 UT
Sats as still shown on the never-up-to-date program schedule (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11815, Jan 25 at 2247, S4-S6 of dead air. Nothing listed
here at this time, just Japan and Turkey much earlier in the day ---
except R Brasil Central, 24 hours. Lately has been reported very lowly
modulated, so maybe this is it, and among few ZYs close to on-
frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12000, Jan 26 a 1502, open carrier is still here. TDOA
technique might DF it, but won`t work without any modulation, right?

DAY-BY-DAY ARCHIVE OF GLENN HAUSER`S LOG REPORTS:
Unedited, uncondensed, unchanged from original version, many of
them too complex, minutely researched, multi-frequency, opinionated,
inconsequential, off-topic, or lengthy for some log editors to
manage; and also ahead of their availability in these weekly issues:

Best DX wishes, Glenn Hauser

** BRAZIL. 11780.010, Jan 25 at 1332, Brazilian talk and music but
only S5-S8 as RNA is normally weak in our mornings. Recheck at 1425,
no signal; at 1517 a JBA carrier which by now could be TWR SWAZILAND
in Somali. Apparently RNA is not on continuously all-day (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, Jan 25 at 0649, RHC English undermodulated // louder
and louder: 6100 < 6165 < 6060 < 5040, the last of The Cuban Five,
rather rough. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15311, 15168, 15111, 15083, 15054, 14997, 14968, Jan 25 at
1319, weak wobbly spurs detectable out of 15140.0 RHC at approx. 28-29
kHz intervals. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

At 1324 I find a similar spur further out, this one measured exactly
at 14882.472, that is minus 257.528 kHz, but that means the
separations would be 25.7528 kHz, less than about 28.6 otherwise
indicated; so maybe 14882+ is really unrelated to these.

I was also briefly distracted by some talk on 14980.0, but that`s
receiver overload from 7490 WWCR X 2, going away with Preamp 2 off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13700, Jan 25 at 1422, this RHC is off but 13780 is on. 13700
is supposed to start at 1400. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 25 at 0645, VON is back in presumed Hausa,
S9+10/20, despite yesterday`s ``new morning frequency`` of 9689.9 as
Ivo assumed. 7255- still on at 0704 check and no 9690 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 12035.7, Jan 25 at 1331, VOT English has just started but
JBA, only enough to tell it`s an off-frequency day. Already off at
1422 recheck to hear if it`s built up as the Sun levants itself (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, UT Fri Jan 25 at 0014, S9+20/30 of dead air from WTWW
-2, with the weak parasitic spurs about 5072.1 & 5097.9. FWIW, websked
claims:

``THE BOSS RADIO DREAM TEAM
THE GREATEST HITS OF ALL TIME - WITH TED RANDALL- MONDAY - WEDNESDAY 8
PM - 12 AM CENTRAL ON 5085
THE GREATEST HITS OF ALL TIME - WITH STEVE TAYLOR - THURSDAY 8 PM - 12
AM CENTRAL ON 5085
THE GREATEST HITS OF ALL TIME - WITH GRANT HUDSON FRIDAY 8 PM - 12 AM
CENTRAL ON 5085
THE GREATEST HITS OF ALL TIME - WITH JEFF LAURENCE - SATURDAY 8 PM -
12 AM CENTRAL ON 5085
THE GREATEST HITS OF ALL TIME - WITH BIG JIM EDWARDS - SUNDAY 8 PM -
12 AM CENTRAL ON 5085``

i.e. not starting until 0200 UT daily except Wed when there`s a ham
show; and for only four hours until 0600, but sporadically stays on
all night, or even all day, presumably automated beyond the ``dream
team` DJ hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1470, Jan 25 at 1349-1403 UT, I`m trying again to catch ``La
Nueva 14-70 AM`` with a more definite ID, suspected reactivated KAIR
Atchison KS, but no sign of it or any SS, mostly just KYYW Abilene TX
mixing with KSMM Liberal KS; KYYW with ABC News at hourtop.

Now I see a more likely one in the NRC AM Log: KWSL Sioux City IA, U1
2500/69 watts, SS:NOS format as ``La Nueva Preciosa 14-70``:
https://lapreciosa987.iheart.com/
Nostalgic means going as far back as the `80s.

And audio supposed to play thus:
https://www.iheart.com/live/la-preciosa-987-fm-y-1470-4539/?pname=kwsl-am&campid=play_bar&cid=index.html
to check for the slogan as I heard it, but includes an adstring in
English after 1700 UT Jan 25, then a silly Mexican gabfest, ``Alex "El
Genio" Lucas Show`` with no local IDs;
http://www.alexelgeniolucas.com/
unclear whence it originate, but unseems local. Shows an 831-AC phone,
which is around Salinas-Monterey CA.

I keep trying to listen to the intermittent stream, and barely catch
an ID at 1802 UT as ``La Preciosa - KWSL`` not `La Nueva`` and K254DL,
as their otherwise top-billed FM 98.7 is of course really nothing but
a mere 250-watt translator. Anyhow make my previous non-precious log
tentatively KWSL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1520, Jan 25 at 1340 UT, KYND Cypress TX is *again/still*
running that loop barker looking for clients rather than axual
programming. It`s audible under KOKC, and occasionally topping my
semi-local, as they are almost collinear so can`t null one to get the
other. mentions how great their 25 kW coverage is of the sixth radio
market (Houston), with phone (281) 373-1520.

This is close to sunrise here, 1338 UT. KOKC ought to have no problem
blotting this out, but has refused to restore its full potential of 50
kW ND.

It seems I caught KYND on its first day back, per Mediafrog+ at
https://www.radiodiscussions.com/showthread.php?714184-What-s-going-on-with-KYND-(Part-Two)

First post from ``12-17-2018, 09:36 AM #1: What's going on with KYND?
(Part Two) --- When checking KYND 1520 a number of times the past week
or so, all I'm hearing is dead air. Not only do the owners have no
clients to pay the bills, it would appear they are also content to set
money on fire by transmitting 25,000 watts of nothing. What on earth
is going on?``

And from ``Today, 12:01 AM #2: And an update: After six weeks of
either being off the air or transmitting nothing but dead air, KYND
was back this morning with its audio loop soliciting potential
clients. Been almost 17 months without a paying customer for the
station`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, Jan 25, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12000, Jan 24 at 2244, the open carrier again, S4-S7;
and Jan 25 at 1334, S9+10 with some deep fades to S4. Another
possibility is some RTTY station which leaves its transmitter on all
the time but only rarely sends something in that mode (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
