** ALGERIA. 531, my comment that Jil-FM at 600 kW runs 30X the power
of 50 kW 750 WSB(AM!!). Ooops, it`s only 12X.

[non] And Greg Hardison replies about that: ``Glenn, it's not just
back there. KFBK/1530 [Sacramento] is doing the same thing out here in
California, touting "93.1 KFBK", while the original 50 kW on 1530
continues to plaster the entire West Coast. And yes, it is somewhat
irritating. -- GREG HARDISON`` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL [and non]. 6180, Dec 14 at 0213, heavy CCI, almost equal
signals from CRI via CUBA in Chinese and RNA in Brazuguese which has
suddenly decided to reactivate this transmitter, separate from 11780
which is *still* on in // and in the clear. Apparently oblivious of
the clash it will cause (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, Dec 14 at 0216, RHC English is suptorted while 6145 is
OK. It seems that 6000 normally starts at 0100, 6145 at 0200 or so.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** CUBA. 5025, Dec 14 at 0654, R. Rebelde music is S9+20 but
distorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, Dec 14 at 0656, RHC English is very undermodulated,
worse than 6100 & 6165 which are about the same merely undermodulated.
5040 is off already and so is 6060. Something`s always wrong at RHC

9105 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11560, Sat Dec 14 at 2106, Station YHWH is JBA,
S5-S6 vs noise level of S4-S5. Tnx to tip from Rick Barton, AZ, first
heard at 2000. My recheck at 2230, still going improved to S8, but now
can tell his modulation is suptorted. So that`s his third frequency so
far on the 25mb in latest round of radio-activity, after 11650, 11550
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. My hi local noise level is building up again, maybe
blamable on Xmas lighting in the neighborhood, altho unseems from as I
approach some with a portable. At 0100 UT Dec 14 as I am trying to
hear AAAWWW on 7490+v, the worst peak is 2.5-9.0 MHz, lesser around
12.0-13.8; later abated somewhat but likely to be problematic the rest
of the year (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11820.044V, Dec 14 at 2145, SBC Qur`aning beautiful
with a bit of reverb, better than we ever hear it direct. via UTwente,
sync reads out frequency as above, constantly varying by a few
hundredths of 1 Hz, mostly on the minus side. 2147 switch to plain
talk in Arabic but sounds sermonic. 2152 resumes recitations,
continuously past 2231 when I check 11820+ here to find a JBA carrier
only. Back via UTw, still Qur`aning past 2252 and starting to fade
somewhat even there. 2254 back to plain talk. 2300* cut off the air in
mid-word.

[non] Until 2200, I am simulwatching on PBS World channel via OETA
13-2, `Same God` about the persecution and dismissal of an Oklahoma
professor by Wheaton College, Illinois, favorite alma mater of radio
evangelists, for according Moslems equality with Christians:

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2012 monitoring: confirmed UT Sat
Dec 14 after 0130 on WRMIs: 7780 S9 vs high noise level; 5850 S9+10/20
but HNL still audible; 5010 S9+10 slightly less noise but weaker
signal.

Not confirmed Sat Dec 14 at 1326 the secret 1300 on WRMI 15770, only a
JBA carrier but probably still WOR; did anyone hear it? By 1329 a
trace of music.

Confirmed Sat Dec 14 at 2050 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, 3 minutes into so
nominal 2030 started at 2047. R4 almost completely readable vs local
hi noise level; tnx to low winter sun allowing skywave this early.
Without the HNL it would have been fine. First timing might mean that
repeat be at least 17 minutes late? past 0415. Next:

** U S A. John H Carver, Jr. reports UT Dec 14 on WBCQ: ``Tonight's
AAWWW --- Very poor signal this evening but I can hear the theme song
for AAWWW on 5130 at 0102. Can hear no signal on 7490 or the other
classic frequencies. Can only copy bits and pieces of readable audio.
Transmitter went down a couple of times but came right back up. Signal
came up a bit at 0112 but still very noisy. Talk of technology and the
evolution of the dumbphone. Lots of talk about the advantages and
disadvantages of technology in our lives today. Among them the
inability to actually write with a pen and paper.

Allan said the superstation is working just fine with no problems and
they've added people to the staff up at the station. Still maintains
that they will add the higher frequencies come spring. He then reads
the entire program schedule for the classic frequencies but I couldn't
copy most of them. Phone call at 0139 that Allan said he had to take
and he played some music to fill the broadcast. First time I can
remember him doing that.

Started reading some emails at 0141. As happened last week the last
six minutes of the program were cut off as nonstop station IDs by
Michael Ketter ran till 0200. John, Mid-North Indiana``

Having found SW reception before 0100 awful, and otherwise occupied, I
recorded the whole thing from webcast and checked it later. I could
then skip thru political rants, but hardly any this week.

Amid compliments to Angela, first long discussion of smartphones and
lamenting how the younger generation is so dependent on them that they
can`t even read handwriting. Strangely, no phone calls from anyone,
not even annoying Freddie --- maybe he can`t pick it up this week. At
0125 AW announces that he`s on 7490 & 5130; while 9330 remains with
WLC currently on 245 degree beam toward Mexico.

People have been added to the crew at Monticello, such as Tom Rounds,
so now there are two Toms, in addition to Barna. They are all mainly
keeping the S-S running, leaving the computer to run the Classic
frequencies with some spare-time oversight. Plans for it to go up to
some higher frequencies in January or February as spring approaches
[so has the frequency change difficulty been solved? We never heard
them testing on any of them]. The S-S is working fine [? but no signal
on 9330 at 1350 check Dec 14!].

Staff plan an Xmas eve party. No time is being leased on S-S now or in
forseeable future, all for WlC (and obviously now not even for
AAAWWW). 6160 transmitter has been rebuilt and is in good shape; needs
large client for it, even wackos [sic; until then, seems not on air at
all].

At 0133 he goes thru the program skeds on 7490 and 5130; but not in
order and he never mentions WORLD OF RADIO. At 0138 finally timestamps
this show as on 13th of December, YOOL 2019. 0139 phone rings for
first! time; instead of picking up he switches to music immediately as
he ``has to take it``, and back a minute later after ``taking care of
business``. At 0140 I check the SW frequencies again: 7490 is JBA;
5130 very slightly better during that brief music break which first
made me think it were another show. Nothing on 6160 or 3265; and 9330
of course with WLC instead.

Then they read something ``funny`` about p.c., ``It snowed so I made a
snowman``. 0145 reads press Artie Bigley sent [also to us] about huge
fines FCC has levied against two FM pirates in Boston. Another
opportunity for AW to plug WBCQ as a safer outlet for pirates to
exercise Free Speech [but how could it effectively serve Haitian
communities in Boston??] WBCQ rates have not been raised since it
started 20 years ago [not even for inflation?].

0155 caller wants advice on who can repair his HQ-100. Answer: Ted
McGill, and AW will send him contact info privately. 0157, asserts
that the S-S is getting good signal reports from everywhere, including
his own remote SDR chex. 0159 prayer by live Allan is again
interrupted before 0200 by ID from canned Allan, and Planet jingle,
just in time for Hal Turner show (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 750, Dec 14 at 1331 UT, PSA about 529plan.com in Missouri,
fade-out and -in, more PSAs, one about skin cancer; song ``Sock it to
Me``. So it`s KBNN, Lebanon MO, 5 kW daytimer with 500-watt psra,
rather than KMMJ or WNDZ. That website doesn`t work but this is it:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2861.088, Dec 14 at 0237, carrier with maybe trace of
modulation. I`ve been hunting for 2-MHz-band MW harmonics but not much
lately, not even 2940+ from Colombia.

The 2860 area is next spot to focus on, as reported earlier in 2019:
```COSTA RICA [and non]. 2859.812, March 21 at 1153, JBA carrier,
suspected the known active second harmonic of 1430, Radio San Carlos,
as IDed recently by Jay Novello, NC, but without a precise
measurement. In *2017y* I reported:
``COSTA RICA. 2859.82, Jan 18 at 0049, JBA carrier on the signature
off-frequency of R. San Carlos, Ciudad Quesada, 2 x 1430v as
previously identified``.```

But this variant is considerably different, way on plus side.
Fundamental would be 1430.555. Any clues in MW Offsets, which does not
deal with harmonicizing?
http://mwlist.org/mwoffset.php?khz=1430

Nominal 1430 starts with the CR from almost a decade ago:
1429.91 TIRDVC Radio San Carlos (Ciudad Quesada) 1100-0400 2010-01-16

And skipping down to the most plus:
1430.0119 MEX XEWD Radio X (Ciudad Miguel Alemán) 2016-01-26
1430.018 PRU La Voz de Salvación (Jaén)[-1430.125] 2019-02-10
Neither of which looks likely; or domestic? Anyhow calls for further
checking (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5006.0, Dec 14 at 0653, JBA carrier. Have also noted it
around sunrise. The only known station on 5006 is per Aoki/NDXC:
``5006 0000-2400 J HFD Radio Station H3A Tokyo-Chofu 1-7``
EiBi is more explicit: ``5006 0000-2400 J JG2XA Propag.Studies FE f``

Seems a bit early, almost 16 local for this low-power thing to be
propagating, but maybe. Ron Howard has reported it several times; 200
watts, HFD means high-frequency Doppler; but there was also something
else on 5006 in CW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Note: everything(?) correct in last report (starting with CANADA 350
kHz), until the very last number: obviously, it was posted at 0032 UT
Dec 14, NOT 13.

** CUBA. 13633 & 13767 approx., Dec 11 at 1538, weak spurblobs from

always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2012, DX

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

** CUBA. 13769 & 13631, Dec 12 at 1437, spurblobs from RHC 13700, and
also second-orders audible around 13562 & 13838, at ~69 kHz intervals.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** INDIA [and non]. 9445, Dec 11 at 2153, some Indian music on fair

manages only a JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11720, Fri Dec 13 at 2105-2200, finally I listen to an
entire `Music Time in Africa` at its secret time on VOA Grimesland-B.
About as close as possible to SINPO 55555, but due to very slight
occasional selective fading distortion, would strictly have to make
it 55544. This could be my napping hour, but no way, not soporific:
not only is hostess Heather hyper, so is the music; is there any such
thing as hypo African music? Breakneck rhythm and pace thruout. I am
no ethnomusicologist, unlike Heather Maxwell, PhD, but I would say
it`s almost all contemporary, not much different from what you would
hear other days of week on `Africa Beat`; not traditional, not folk.
At 2157 the final tune is an `Oldie` from Mali, 1995.

Come to think of it, hardly a female voice to be heard either among
the musicians performing or interviewing. After this, I`m pretty well
exhausted, altho have been lying down amid earphones for an hour,
enjoying the excellent audio and modulation level on the S9+20/30
signal, nevertheless directly off the back of the antenna. At closing
she gives the times as: on streaming Sat & Sun 1505 & 2005; on SW, Fri
0905, Sat & Sun 0905, 1505, 2005, 2205! She never includes this very
broadcast, which is our best and only chance to hear it direct..

** U S A. 5950, Dec 11 at 0754, S9+10 of dead air again from WRMI
instead of SMTV: must be mis-programmed this way. This time I keep
listening, and at 0759 Jeff WRMI ID fires, and 0800 into RAE beat and
Japanese opening as scheduled, 285 degrees aimed right at Pearl
Harbor, not Yokohama; and PNG beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. RF 25 via Suddenlink Cable 9, Sunday Dec 8 at 1400-1530 UT,
KWTV with `CBS Sunday Morning` --- must-see TV for me I have watched
every week for sesquidecades. Normally I start a sesquihour video
recording, so I can doze some more, not worry about missing anything;
and be able to zap all the commercials on playback. Doing it by timer
is risky since sometimes KWTV blows it away for BREAKING NEWS or
WEATHER, at best shunting it to their sub-station KSBI. On Dec 8
however, I set the timer, and also the cable box to turn on the
correct channel at the correct time, instead of leaving it on all
night; it did, but turned out there was no audio recorded, only video!
Unknown why. I could have watched closed captioning for a sesquihour,
but as a hearing person prefer the A/V method.

So before recording over that tape, as a last resort I go to cbs.com
where one may play the whole show (if you hurry up). Cable`s on-demand
video funxion has lots of stuff from CBS and many other networx, but
never CBSSM! The timer on that shows it`s only 56+ minutes long not
counting the commercials. But when playing we find that strings of ads
are inserted at every break, most of them duplicated from one time to
the next, and poorly edited cutting out some of the program content.
Not the same ones which would have been on the original broadcast.
Most annoying, and no fast forwarding or skipping them here. But at
least I get to hearsee most of another great program. Bottom line:
avoid watching CBS SM at cbs.com if at all possible.

I never buy coffee-table books, except maybe at a thrift store, but a
large collexion of this show`s Sun-symbol art at high resolution would
make a great one, several new ones each week and apparently never
duplicated. Several years ago I suggested this, but they seemed
uninterested; rights? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 3240, Dec 11 at 0744, JBA carrier with flutter, as if
something from E Asia rather than a local artifact or harmonic; but
nothing listed in EiBi, Aoki, or HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4651-USB, Dec 11 at 0748, VP brief YL contact,
presumably air traffic control but nothing listed in EiBi. My 2002
Klingenfuss book says it`s an AMS = Aeronautical mobile service,
frequency which we already know, but for details go to
http://www.ute-monitor.org/aerolist
I try that 17 years later and instead wind up on a German site,
something about financing! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
