CUBA  5025even nice audio quality signal of R Rebelde from Bauta site on the
island. S=9+25dB and stronger on the various SDR rxs at MA, NJ, and Detroit
MI US states at 07.40 UT on Sunday Febr 9. Bossa Nova like Cuban music
rhythm played. 20 kHz wide audioband block visible on screen.
6145even RHC English via Bauta site, the only RadioCuba transmission
in this 07-08 UT hour this Febr 9th morning. Scheduled at 340 degr azimuth
like CA and MI states, and Enid OK of course too main lobe target.
At 07.48 UT S=9+10dB in MA and NJ. Surprisingly at 07.56:40 UT
crash cut-off the feeder midst on the sentence from the bc house in Habana,
only S=9+10 carrier seen on screen til 07.59:04 TX Bauta switch-OFF exactly.

NIGERIA  7254.941 Voice of Nigera Abuja, scheduled English at 08-09 UT,
JBA signal level, poor S=4 -110dBm in MA, fair S=7 -87dBm in NJ,
S=6-7 -84dBm in Detroit MI, and poor tiny S=5 -95dBm in Cape Canaveral
Florida state, level depends on the local rx antenna performance in
the West Africa direction.

CUBA [and non]. 6145, Feb 8 at 0528, RHC English undermodulated
S9+10 mixing about equally with another station, better modulation,
i.e. RRI in Romanian this hour intended no further than France. Both
would be in clear if RHC had stayed on 6165; but before and after
05-06, would conflict with other Europeans. Meanwhile, 6100 is
S9+20/30 but JBM, and so is 6000; 6060 is still in Spanish; and so is
5040 at 0534 and squealing too.
6145, Feb 8 at 0655, S9+10 and undermodulated; 6100 S9+30/40 and UM;
6000 S9+20/30 and suptorted; only 6060 with good modulation and
S9+30/40 now in English and so is 5040 and squealing too. Something`s
always wrong at RHC ::: (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
CUBA. 15230, Feb 8 at 1501, this RHC is S9 but distorted; usually
its mod is OK, while // 15140 at S9+30 continues to be distorted.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5820, Feb 9 at 0110, VP M&W in English mentioning some www.
and music. Nothing listed here and doubt it`s one of those Denmark
stations. Rather a leapfrog mixing product of 6180 CRI relay over 6000
RHC another 180 kHz beyond, both Quivicán site per Aoki/NDXC. But
neither he nor EiBi will make an entry for this real transmission on
5820. I did not think at the time to check for // audio, but this has
been reported before. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5010-5040, Feb 9 at 0135, Radio Rebelde is splattering out to
this range from 5025; while RHC is also splattering out to 5030-5050
from its 5040; axually, can`t tell where one transition to the other
between 5025 and 5040. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ALASKA. 11755, Feb 8 at 1511, expressive/assertive talk by OM in
Russian, presumably gospel huxter, response by YL with some laughter.
KNLS is now scheduled here this hour in HFCC as the only 11755
anywhen, anywhere (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9665-9667, Feb 9 at 0142, no signal from Voz Missionária,
usually the strongest ZY remaining on 31m; propagation OK since I have
a JBA signal on 9818.6 where R. Nove de Julho resides. Aparecida
appears on 9630.3 much weaker than VM would be, hetting another weakie
on 9630.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 335-MCW kHz, Feb 8 at 0708 UT, dash and YLD, ND beacon,
1000 watts from Chapleau, Ontario.

351-MCW kHz, Feb 8 at 0710 UT, dash and YKQ, NDB, 500 watts from Fort
Rupert - Waskaganish, Quebec.

406-MCW kHz, Feb 8 at 0718 UT, dash and YLJ, NDB 40 watts from Meadow
Lake, Saskatchewan; noise level is lower in the 400s than the 300s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also USA for two more

S9+30/40 now in English and so is 5040 and squealing too. Something`s

** CUBA. 15230, Feb 8 at 1501, this RHC is S9 but distorted; usually
its mod is OK, while // 15140 at S9+30 continues to be distorted.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13835, 13767, 13633, 13566, 13495 approx. vs CODAR, Feb 8 at
1504, FM/AM spurblobs with F# whine out of 13700-AM RHC, ~67 kHz
intervals, but each so wide it`s hard to pin them. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13610, 13674, 13806 approx., Feb 8 at 2318, FM/AM spurblobs
with F# tone at about 65 kHz intervals out of 13740-AM RHC, no doubt
same defective transmitter as in the mornings on 13700. Another might
be around 13870 but blocked by RTTY. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15370, Feb 8 at 2320, RHC Spanish S9+20 but distorted, OSOB,
about the same sound as on mushy // 5040. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5820, Feb 9 at 0110, VP M&W in English mentioning some www.

Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185.7, Feb 8 at 0117, undermodulated talk; 0153 still with
jazz, also suptorted, typical of Radio Educación --- and there is no
signal on 6185.0. Someone must have bumped the XEPPM transmitter. At
least puts it a little further from the collision on 6180 but still
getting splashed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 4045-USB, Feb 9 at 0119, S9+20 of blues, but already
off at 0124 check after some other tuning.

Many posts here say it`s Ze-ke`s Attic, which moved to 4107 at 0126:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,63065.0.html
This thread covers logs on both frequencies.

4107-USB, I independently find him here at 0147, blues? song at S9+10,
0148 DJ Ze-ke recognized saying he`s waiting for a report from the
Mojave Desert; 0149 a familiar torch song, which someapp IDs as
``What`s New`` by Billie Holiday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU. 5980, Feb 8 at 2344, JBA carrier, and like the last few
nights I am not hearing any Cuban jamming above the general band noise
level. It won`t be long before Radio Chaski cutoff be too much before
night here if it stay around this time. At 14 degrees south, its
sunset varies only about one hour over the course of a year, as early
as 2230 in June, currently 2320; but ours gets later and later, 0005
UT now, a semihour later in a month. Anyhow, tonight the autocutoff
comes at 2352:59.5* having surpassed 2353:00. Last check was Feb 3
until 2353:10.5, i.e. 11 seconds later, 5 days earlier, averaging 2.2
seconds earlier per noctem (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960-, Feb 8 at 2328 no signal from VOT English,
only a JBA carrier offset-minus from XJPBS, EAST TURKISTAN, so Mighty
KBC may be clear tonight. Oops, 2343 recheck, VOT is on very late with
music at S9/+10. 2355 IS is still running; 2356 pause and restart IS,
now with one German ID at 2356:48 before cuts off at 2357:45*, just in
time for The Mighty Farty KBC, which lux out again (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 379-MCW kHz, Feb 8 at 0712 UT, ND beacon copied as RSE on
380, but nonesuch listed. Probably really RUE, 25 watts in
Russellville, Arkansas.

410-MCW kHz, Feb 8 at 0720 UT, ND beacon JU, but nonesuch listed at
dxinfocentre. Maybe 25-watt JUH, Jefferson - Ashe, North Carolina.
Could it be miskeying? Was not hearing an H. Classaxe.com in fact does
show that one as JU only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5130.0, Feb 8 at 2355, this WBCQ is S9/+10 as IS and ID loop
plays prior to Saturday`s Area 51. Seems a better signal now than we
had been getting from it. Sometime after 0100 Feb 9, it`s GRITS Radio
with someone sounding rather like Marion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5950, Feb 9 at 0124, WRMI is OFF, a rarity for this 24-hour
service; but no help for 5952.4v Bolivia, which is also off despite
being Saturday night. If 5950 still off around 0300, would be good for
Ethiopia; but I`m busy listening then to `Weekend Radio` on WCLV
webcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, (and parasitic JBA spurs 5072.1 and 5097.9), UT Sun
Feb 9 at 0120, Bob Heil is talking on WTWW-2, evidently just starting
his anonymous theatre organ show at very odd time, which I continue to
enjoy from one radio to one ear while DXing another radio into the
other ear. Ends at 0152 with WTWW ID and promos (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 1090, Feb 8 at 0700:50 to 0705:30 duration of SRN
News hole of dead air after illegal ID as ``AM 1090 KAAY`` failing to
specify Little Rock CoL, and before resuming with gospel music. During
this, XEAU Monterrey dominant from south, Spanish infomercial making
SAH and another very weak unID with music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 15460, Feb 8 at 1459-1500* vocoder song, poor. HFCC shows
it`s USAGM 14-15 Sat & Sun only in Kin-yarwanda, i.e. VOA via SMG
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
