** BRAZIL. RNA, 11780, was also active Jan 10 at 2231 check with good signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GABON. I had left the FRG-7 tuned to 19160 in the morning, and when I turned it on again at 2221, there was the ANU harmonic, still propagating, and with better audio and signal at S9 + 12 dB than seven hours earlier; French talk now easy to // to 9580. No buzzes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NIGERIA. VON, 7255, strange hi-pitched singing in tonal language accompanied by primitive plucked string instrument and some drumming. I might have placed it somewhere in S or E Asia, but this was the Hausa service from Nigeria; good signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TAIWAN [non]. Enjoyed Jade Bells & Bamboo Pipes, traditional music show from RTI English to Europe via WYFR, 9355, Wednesday Jan 10 from 2233 opening past 2252 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. VOA`s Classic Rock hour is one of the few big signals we can enjoy on the caradio between 21 and 22 UT, since 15580 is via Greenville during this hour only, aimed eastward toward Africa but obviously with a very large back lobe; listened for a while Jan 10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** VENEZUELA [non]. RNV via Cuba, 17705, heard as usual until 2058* Jan 10, and did not come back after 2100, so I assume another report of this after 2100 was one hour off. Rechecked at 2225, 17705 had RHC with Spanish music no announcements, but presumably Portuguese service, and 2230 into Guaraní but pronouncing 17705 in Spanish numbers (Did the Guaraní not have such numbers of their own?). At same time, 11705 was in RHC Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. RN de la RASD, 6458, Jan 10 at 2237 with usual poor signal with digital ute QRM, but now also with some SSB QRM, I think in English, on 6459 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. The 2-way Spanish SSB on 15620 heard earlier Jan 10 at 1502-1527 was still, or again going with good signal when tuning by at 2226; same voices and engine background noise. Must be a long drug-smuggling flight. If really something illegal, should have given narx plenty of time to DF the signal; are they listening?
