** CUBA. 6100, Feb 21 at 0632, RHC English is S9+30 but modulation
spikes only, totally useless; wiggle that patchcord! // 6165 is S9+10,
OK modulation but with CCI, presumably NHK Arabic via France until
0630 not turned off yet; 6000 somewhat distorted; 6060 overmodulated
distorted. Somethings are always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15700, Feb 21 at 1527, CRI Plus English relay is S9+30 of
dead air except for some lite crackle. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY [non]. 15215, Feb 21 at *1600, annual broadcast of ``Radio
Amrum, the Frisian Voice`` via FRANCE, carrier on and soon sign-on in
English mentioning 500 kW, the edition for 2019 --- but the ``19`` was
clearly edited in, replacing ``18``, or even earlier! This is the
``tenth issue`` -- or was that referring to a previous year now being
played back? The following content certainly sounds familiar. It would
be nice if they could come up with new stuff, perhaps even some local
music breaks. The date is coordinated with a celebration on ÃÃmrang
every Feb 21 at 5-6 pm, a bonfire of non-toxic, non-plastic materials
collected over previous months. Live coverage of this would be more
exciting!

Host introduces ``latest news`` at 1603 but then switches to German.
Several English bits interspersed are only brief, so for those not
fluent in German, much less Frisian, little is comprehensible, but
since this is such a special occasion I monitor the entire hour.

Mostly it`s an informal conversation among a woman and one or two men,
except at 1611 they seem to be reading a script. Apparently the host
only speaks (high) German and English, while most of the hour is in
the Frisian dialect. I wonder how well standard German speakers can
understand Frisian?

1604 English something about a ``special game`` and back to Frisian.
1625 English about happy birthday to a Mr. Peters who has been married
for 15 years. 1633 English about having made a trip to New York, also
in German about Australia, New Zealand; in Frisian about Las Vegas.

1639 break ID as on 15215 k-h-z from JÃlich! How many years now has
the original DW site been kaput?? And times as 11 in NY, 17 M-E-Z;
``welcome from Amrum to New York``. 1645 talking about schnee (snow).

1659 apologizes for interrupting the conversation, but promises to be
back on Feb 21, 2020, 500 kW on 15215, ``to all Amrum exiles all over
the world, especially New York``. Also said earlier that more of them
live elsewhere in Germany than on the islands. Credits those
responsible for this annual broadcast, Ian (Eien?) Kursel? at 25946
Niebel, and two contact phone numbers repeated in English and German:
046822688 and 01704425007; inviting donations. 1659 dead air and 1700*

VG S9+20 signal here in deep North America, fading to S9. Simul-
monitoring via UTwente found it much weaker/poorer, too close to
Issoudun, skipping over, and worsening by 1642 check.

Via UTwente only, from the outset and further chex, there is scratchy
intermittent SSB ACI from some INTRUDERS. I do not manage to isolate
it, but seems to be USB, slightly from the lower side.

There is also constant tone-pulsing QRM underneath for the entire
hour, at the rate of approx. 7X per second. What is this? At times it
seems to fade independently, so jamming? Toward the end I find it
peaking about 0.5 kHz above and below 15215.0; it continues during the
brief dead air at conclusion, and goes off at exactly the same time as
carrier. So I conclude it`s a defect at Issoudun, not external
jamming, and not on the Amrum program audio either. Other monitors
were also hearing it. I alerted the WOR iog, British DX Club and Hard
-Core-DX an hour earlier, and will round up several resulting reports
in next DXLD.

Wolfgang Bueschel recorded most of it and also wonders about the
source of pulsing: ``steht auf der Box zum AnhÃren:
https://app.box.com/s/dlolfr18x2wr311e13qm800v6rvpeh6b
Kann mir mal jemand erlÃutern woher dieses Bubble-GerÃusch pulsend
herkommt? 73 wb df5sx``

This fine reception into deep North America demonstrates that even at
solarmin, any European broadcaster could serve us successfully on 19m
at our mid-mornings, but not a single station is willing to do so.
Remember when, sesquidecades ago, London Calling had a separate North
American service? I think it was on 11 metres then during solarmax
circa 1958!

15215 also had a JBA carrier before Amrum, at 1530 Feb 21 check, and
after it went off at 1700; nothing else whatsoever listed so maybe of
local origin (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IVORY COAST [non]. 7375, Feb 21 at 0627, S9-S7 music and French ID
as ``Radio Mondiale Adventiste, La Voix de l`EspÃrance`` with Abidjan
postal address, also e-mail like lavoixdelesperance@yahoo.com then AWR
theme and plug Bible-par-correspondence course until 0630*.

HFCC shows 0600-0630, 250 kW, 162 degrees via FRANCE. Amusingly,
sandwiched between two imaginary entries on 7375: 0500-0600 Nauen in
Croatian; 0600-0800 Thumrait, Oman RSO in Arabic. Hey, how about
another imaginary 7375 entry in memory of RFPI Costa Rica? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1970 monitoring: missed the 2200
openings, so unknown if WRMI made it on air in time this week, caught
the endings: Wednesday February 20 at 2227, S9+10 fading to S7 on WBCQ
7490+, now better than WRMI 9955, which is running 15 seconds ahead of
WBCQ. Also confirmed UT Thu Feb 21 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, poor S9-S7 vs

better further east on 44 degree azimuth. Next:

** U S A. 13750-13755-13760, Feb 21 at 1421, WINB DRM on new
frequency, ex-13685-13695, why? Neither was on yesterday. Got to be
WINB with distinctive hybrid of DRM noise on the top half, multiple
non-DRM carriers on bottom half, which no one else seems to notice or
explain. 13690 was close, but not too close to Cuba 13700. 13755
center looks like a clear choice, but may be too close to Cuban FM
spurs when they surely resume. HFCC has nothing on 13755 but imaginary
English from Jakarta at 0800-0900; but adjacent 13750 could bear
something from MBR Nauen at 1330-1530, plus IBB Kuwait at 1630-1700 in
Swahili; and on adjacent 13760, imaginary VOR Moskva in Russian at
1200-1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1120, Feb 21 at 0008 UT, I`m trying again for definite
reception of KCRN, Limon CO now with 50 kW day power. On the DX-398,
KMOX is nulled and hearing English religious talk, but that could be
Austin. Simulmonitoring on R-75 with E-W longwire on 1060, I get //
audio just a reverb apart, i.e. KRCN Longmont CO, the sibling Catholic
Radio Network station. KRCN is also 50 kW day power but unlike KCRN
may continue at night with 111 or 105 watts, but none of that matters
since it also has a puny 92.1 FM translator. Paul Walker says 1120
also has a new 102.3 translator in Black Forest, which is near
Colorado Springs. 1120 should be putting equally bigsig into Denver
and CS, less so Pueblo further south.

Not enough 11520 signal to // WEWN. At 0013, 1120 fades in better when
I can tell it`s a Catholic Radio fundraiser, phone 888-447-2425 --- so
KCRN for sure, way out of their broad major lobe westward, here to the
SE (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1480, Feb 20 at 2218 UT on caradio, already hearing
Vietnamese from presumed KBXD Dallas QRMing closer KQAM Wichita
English talker. At 2229-2230+ Vietnamese talk now on DX-398, same slow
SAH between them as before; 2255 during Viet mentions ``CÃmara de
Diputados``, i.e. Spanish name about the Mexican House of Reps!; 2257
break for legal English ID as ``KBXD, 1480-AM, Dallas`` and back to
VV.

Tim Hendel in AL had been trying to confirm via webcast, KBXD in
Vietnamese instead of ngÆái TÃy Ban Nha (espaÃol), but was hearing
Banda Trece programming. I too found a webcast attributed to KBXD but
with Banda Trece, so not really what was on the 1480 air! Tim agrees
this was probably the case. Meanwhile, I was wondering if the Viet I
had been hearing could have been from KLVL Houston market, which has
had Vietnamese in past, mainly Spanish now? But the bigsig vs KQAM has
been typical of KBXD, whatever the programming language.

2359 recheck, Vietnamese still audible in mix on 1480. Feb official
SR/SS times are 1315/0015 UT; March: 1245/0030. At night KBXD must cut
from 50 to 1.9 kW on a similar pattern with major lobe to NW, but a
notch NNW toward us. We are still wondering if KBXD now be 100%
Vietnamese, or what? Someones in The Metroplex could easily check this
out (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, Thu Feb 21 at 1530, 1616 & 1700 chex, still no signal
from KVOH now off the air for a week, awaiting a replacement part
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6100, Feb 20 at 0648, RHC English continues reactive here,
but distorted; undermodulated on 6000 & 6165, and just right on 6060.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13671.713, Feb 20 at 1437, JBA music, first suspect being RHC
13700 spur, 28.3 kHz away, but not //. Is there one on the opposite
side? 13728.294, also close to 28.3 with no modulation audible. Can
such a spur contain different audio from source? Or maybe on a single
receiver, music stopped as I retuned. These are not the huge FM spurs
which are sporadically provided by 13700. Nearest fundamental is 13670
CRI French via Albania, but not much heard of that. At 1514 I check
again, finding JBA carriers on 13671.7 and 13727.7, not matching
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

0612 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 9485-9490-9495, Feb 19 at 2245, DRM noise, scheduled 22-23
as RRI in Spanish, 90 kW at 247 degrees from Tsiganeshti site to CIRAF
14 = northern Argentina & Chile, southern Bolivia. I never see DX
reports from anyone in the Southern Cone listening in DRM, so how many
listeners can RRI possibly count on? Not to be confused with Cuban
jamming often extending beyond the later Radio RepÃblica hours via
France on 9490 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 12035.0, Feb 20 at 1428, VOT not very off-frequency, but
still on air following English, with IS and ID break in presumed
Kazakh. Keeps going past 1430 timesignal, opening presumed Kazakh,
finally cut off circa 1431. I then swoop to 9785 where Kazakh should
have been already and do hear a JBA carrier there (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U K. 3950-3955-3960, Feb 20 at 0658, DRM noise at S9+10 usurping a
stretch of our ``80 meter`` hamband, which is of course BBCWS in
English, scheduled 0559-0700 only, 100 kW, 114 degrees from Woofferton
for Western Europe, but plenty signal back this way (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. 17775, Feb 20 at 1507 & 1545, still no signal from KVOH, at
midweek. (Nor any from 17780 BBC Ascension) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 660, KCRO Omaha: Paul Walker explains why I did not hear
them mentioning 106.5 translator: ``They are moving the fm translator
on 106.5 for KCRO to 106.7 in Lincoln as K294DJ where itâll still
rebroadcast KCRO`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1120, Feb 20 at 0027 UT, I`m seeking the new 50 kW daytimer
in Limon CO, KCRN, ex-KLIM, which Paul Walker in Laramie reported
finally activating CP a few days ago at quarter-power for starters.
Official FCC sunset for Feb is 0030 UT, so this should be my best
chance for it, after the 10 kW Okie KETU is off; and it`s close to a
right angle from KMOX for easy nulling. However, KCRN pattern is broad
to the west, null to the east; and there is another 1120 normally
audible here around SR/SS, KTXW Manor TX (Austin).

In fact that`s what I mainly hear with KMOX nulled, ``Austin`s
Christian talk, The Bridge`` --- alluding to the one that`s batty?? By
0029 underneath I hear a song, maybe hymn, so quickly compare on same
DX-398 to 1060 where there is KRCN Longmont (Denver), 50 kW daytimer,
another Catholic station, but will they really be simulcasting? Could
be // in brief bit. And nothing more from it after 0030.

KCRN is also designed to reach Denver past sparsely-populated eastern
CO plains. I will have an even worse chance at KCRN sunrise *1345 vs
KETU, KMOX et al. In March, KRCN span will be 1315-0100 UT (which of
course must stay the same UT after DST start already March 10). KRCN &
KCRN are in fact sibling stations, as the related calls imply, both
licensed to Catholic Radio Network --- so why do they need two 50 kW
Denver-market stations?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2394-, Feb 20 at 0703 UT, sounds like CW negative keying
in repeating pattern, but I can`t invert my brain to copy it. I.e.,
tone during pauses, no tone during dits or dahs. Or possibly a local
device cycling (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2940.14, Feb 20 at 0700 UT, JBA carrier seems to be real
rather than receiver overload. Merits further pursuit, possibly second
harmonic from an off-frequency MW 1470+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5010-USB, Feb 20 at 0654, very poor 2-way in French,
certainly an unusual language for such (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13618-13640, Feb 20 at 1435, rapid over-the-horizon
radar clicking, wonder from where? Seldom hear these any more,
probably primarily due to pitiful propagation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
