** CUBA. 6100, Sunday January 20 at 0702, RHC is S9+10 opening in
Esperanto citing its schedule starting with Sunday *0800* on 6100!
What do they know? Supposed to be 0800 during non-DST season, but
shortly in November, RHC went back to 0700. The others: Sun 1600 on
11760 (and 15140?? I still haven`t confirmed this for sure); Sun 2330
on 15730. Now the other three 6 MHz English frequencies to which
weekly Es`po is appended, have gone off but 5040 is still S9+20 of
hummy/hashy open carrier at 0708. Io estas Äiam malÄusta en Radio

** CUBA. 15254.42, Jan 20 at 1510, JBA RHC spur // 11760; then found
more circa 15311, 14997, 14968, the usual ones out of 15140.0
transmitter, but 15254.42 is different at plus 114.42 kHz if it too be
out of 15140 rather than 15230 which is also on but never traced as a
spursource. Match would be 15025.58 where nothing noted.
Significantly, 114.42 = 4 x 28.605 kHz, the latest figure also
involved in the next one:

15168.63, Jan 20 at 1515, another suspicious JBA blob, which is 28.63
kHz above 15140.0, so does it have a minus-match? Yes, JBA 15111.41,
which is within 40 Hz of the opposite, margin of error. There
should/could also be something circa 15082 = 2 x 28.64 displaced.

14911.13, Jan 20 at 1532, JBA spur with music // 11760 RHC, which is
228.87 kHz from 15140.0. Its match would be 15368.87, but did not get
around to checking that. Had been trying to expedite searches by not
taking time to nail these down to third decimal places. No spurs to
seek on 13 MHz band today. Somethings` always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH. 7580, Jan 20 at 0715, VP YL in Japanese; must be VOK
as scheduled at 07-13 & 21-24; no other E Asian signals this early on
7 MHz, i.e. 16:15 Pyongyang local re-time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** SAUDI ARABIA. 13710.013, Jan 20 at 1504, SBC is S9+10/20, much
stronger than usual, with lovely music in Arabic alleging that there
is an Allah who is akbar. Much better signal than usual. Need to fine
-tune slightly plus to make the music via SSB sound on-key. Note: as
transliterated, not to be confused with akhbar = news (Glenn Hauser,

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1965 monitoring: Please note that

the 9th. Sorry for my confusion!

Confirmed UT Sunday January 20 at 0426 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, S9+30,

** U S A. 1140, Jan 20 at 1429 UT, looking for Relevant Radio unID as
heard Tue Jan 15 before 1400: dominant is KXRB Sioux Falls SD, ``Great
Country, 100.1 and 1140 AM``. Not much from my nearest KRMP OKC until
1431 plug for a 405-AC church. I struggle to split the difference
nulling both as much as possible, and at 1435 fades in from NE/SW
another Christian conversation, but no Relevant heard.

Altho not listed as REL, another station I need to check out is KCXL,
Liberty MO (Kansas City market), U1 4000/6 watts. And guess what,
their program schedule besides far-right extremist secular talkshows,
includes at 6-8 am (CST = UT -6) Mon-Fri, ``Relevant Radio``!

Nothing shown before 8 am weekends, but after 8 on Sundays now it`s

** CUBA. 5025, Jan 18 at 0713, S9+20 R. Rebelde is distorted and
overmodulated during Fox fanfare, not exactly Revolutionary.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. And not the only entity to
pirate it. In fact it`s the best thing about Fox. Wikipedia has a bit
about it but mainly on the visual logo:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_Century_Fox#Music

``20th Century Fox is known for its searchlight structure logo. Its
fanfare was originally composed in 1933 by Alfred Newman, who became
the head of Twentieth Century-Fox's music department from 1940 until
the 1960s. It was re-recorded in 1935 when 20th Century-Fox was
officially established`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15230, Jan 18 at 1454, this RHC is unusually off but 15140.0

14968. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** CUBA. 11980, Jan 19 at 0032, very poor in Spanish, but // much

undermodulated CRI English relay; but confirmed // 11760, 11700,
11840, RHC Spanish, so likely a leapfrog of 11700 over 11840 another
140 kHz beyond. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** JAPAN [non]. 7290, Jan 18 at 1547, conversation in Japanese --- or

afternoon, as it was audible here during the Radio Tropical programme
at 1400-1500 UT, but it faded out about half-way through, never to be

** U S A. 7490v & 9330v, UT Sat Jan 19 at 0035, no signals from WBCQ;
and 5130.48 is JBA; while 3265 remains inactive. Bodes ill for `Allan
Weiner Worldwide` this week, so I bring up the webcast about 0057:
music fill instead of previous program, ID at ToH and instead of AWWW,
back to fill music, which continues the rest of hour on headphone
background. Maybe realized not on air so skipped doing program --- or
vice versa?

John H Carver reports at 0104: ``Glenn. 7490 appears to be off the
air. 5130 with some other program and 9330 with Brother Scare. Could
Allan be in transit and they decided not to have a show at all?``

and at 0216: ``Glenn. Monitored all three frequencies for a bit over

** CUBA. 11980, Jan 18 at 0123, S9-S7 Spanish, soon clearly RHC //
much stronger S9+20 11840 and much weaker S8-S5 11700. 11980 adds up
as a leapfrog mixing product of 11700 over 11840 another 140 kHz
beyond as I believe I have heard before; but strangely, modulation is
louder on 11980 than 11840 which doesn`t really make sense. Could
there be some other explanation, despite the math, like an intentional
secret fundamental or harmonic? Could be 5990 x 2, but that`s for CRI
relay and not on air now. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn

Turkish at 04-07 (but I see in HFCC also NHK Japanese at 05-09).
Normally have only a VP signal from Turkey. Only a minute later, RNZI
cuts off at 0628*. Then I check 13730 where it is supposed to be until
0658 -- nothing, altho often audible as the OSOB. At 0632 I find an
open carrier on 9765.01 at S7-S9, soon JIP RNZ programming. So instead
of resuming 13730, they bring the next frequency up early. No doubt
this is their periodic maintenance check, but it must be tough for
people axually trying to listen to RNZI on its scheduled frequencies

Still on at 2110 but weaker. Nothing at all scheduled in EiBi or Aoki;
and HFCC has only Vietnam, wooden? at 1100-1330 & 2200-2230.

BUT, our prime suspect is CUBA where an RHC harmonic or unacknowledged
fundamental shows up at other times. Also reminds me of the prolonged
dead carrier on exactly 9000 heard a few days ago (and not now). Or
12000 could be an inband test/warmup frequency from some IBB site,
none scheduled nearby (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

13756.6 or so. What of the minus side? Audible at 13671.7, 13643.3.
They all fit for first- and second-orders, new ones, and quite unlike
the huge FM spurs sometimes spewing from 13700, not lately. Next day
Jan 16 at 1417, there`s again a spur about 13728.29 Something`s always

wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

now, 15139.993, i.e. +228.84 kHz.

14911.172, Jan 16 at 1430, similar wobbly weak spur, which is 228.821
kHz below, a close match.

15311.521, Jan 16 at 1426, one of the older wobblespurs, which is
171.528 kHz above the fundamental, but I don`t hear the match around
14968.

** TURKEY. 12035.735, Jan 16 at 1358-1404, VOT English with `Media
Analysis` editorial amid music breaks; poor copy but about
``Irrational US Mideast policy`` in wake of acting president Drumpf`s
latest threats (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 198 kHz, Jan 15 at 0709, beacon DIW which is 2 kW from Dixon
NC (not DIX); instead of BBC Radio 4. I am having no luck with Euro
LWBC DX, unlike my neighbor Richard Allen with his setup. Dixon is too
insignificant to make the Rand McNally atlas, but coÃrdinates place it
around Jaxonvil/Camp Lejeune near the coast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 2097.3-CW, Jan 16 at 1349 UT, beacon A every dekasecond is
quite audible from Quartzsite AZ, and reliable; checked after the
2263-USB unID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1964 monitoring: confirmed Monday
Jan 14 at 2330 on WRMI 9955, fair; also UT Tuesday Jan 15 at 0030 on
WRMI 7730, very good. Again this week, produxion of WOR 1965 is
delayed until early UT Wednesday, so the next airing Tue Jan 15 at
2030 on WRMI 7780 should have replayed 1964 one more time ---- but
it`s off the air! (5950 & 9395 are on and audible). 7780 back on in
time for RAE in German at 2100.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 4980, Jan 14 & 15 at 2301, Supreme Master TV via WRMI is
still here. Checking because Zacharias Liangas concluded it was
dropped like it was from the EiBi list (and still dated Jan 13, EiBi
has nothing but Xinjiang on 4980) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 9329.004, Jan 16 at 1524, TOMBS via WBCQ has been drifting
steadily upward, and I have been chasing it since 1515, when it was
first obviously even well below 9329 --- about 9328.74 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, Jan 15 at 0208, WTWW-2 with S9+20 of dead air instead
of rock music. Recheck at 0647, ``I`m Sorry`` song at S9+30 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5970, Jan 15 at 0652, no signal from WEWN Spanish. Seems it
is off more than on. Sked still claims it runs 00-14 UT; 12050 14-24
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1480, Jan 15 at 1352 UT, Banda 13 promoting that it is
somehow ``digital``, and greeting someone in or from QuerÃtaro, i.e.
KBXD Dallas TX (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Jan 16 at 1330-
1340, barely preceding our LSR of 1342: 558-WSW-Fiji?, 693-NW, 702,
774-NW, 873-NW, 882, 972-NW, 1044-NW, 1413-NW, 1422-NW, 1557, 1566-NW
(2), 1575-NW, 1602-NW. Those with no DF are either too weak/QRMed to
tell, or maybe from both direxions. See also KOREA SOUTH (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1140, Jan 15 at 1348 UT, plugs for a Relevant Radio app,
interview someone about March for Life, and many more mentions of
Relevant Radio, which is a Catholic network. Loops roughly NE/SW, but
mainly need to null KRMP OKC which is SSE. NRC AM Log has no R.R. on
1140, but that`s because it is not a network covered in the book at
all, not on the list page 291.

Own website has two lists of R.R. stations, neither with any 1140!

https://relevantradio.com/listen/affiliates/
https://relevantradio.com/listen/stations/
The latter being O&Os. Too bad Relevant HQ is unaware of all their
outlets. So:

NRC AM Log does not have many possibilities, i.e. Christian if not
necessarily Catholic, in English. Of course, Protestants and Catholix
are unlikely to coÃxist on same station. One is WVEL Pekin IL, 5 kW
daytimer, ``Central Illinois Christian Voice`` but sked does not
mention R.R.:
http://www.wvel.com/wvel-programming-schedule/
Could certainly be propagating as WHAS & WLW are still in at 1400 UT.

Second possibility is WVHF, Kentwood MI, 5 kW direxional daytimer,
with EWTN. That makes it Catholic, but a competitor to Relevant,
unless there has been a flip. WVHF is ``Holy Family Radio`` and its
program this hour is `Catholic Connexion`, from Ave Maria Radio, yet
another Catholic competitor.
http://www.holyfamilyradio.net/show/catholic-connection/
Maybe someone know which 1140 around here be really Relevant?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2263-USB, Jan 16 at 1348, JBA 2-way, unknown language.
The 2-3 MHz band is a hugely underutilized resource since most
maritime traffic has quit it, so any such signal is significant. My
old Klingenfuss 2002 Guide did not show anything on this exact
frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
