** ASIA [non]. 9385, Jan 6 at 1516, Brother Scare on WWRB getting a run for his
money from strong co-channel QRM in Korean, also with a rippling SAH indicating
perhaps 20 Hz separation. This is R. Free Asia as scheduled; online references
differ whether site is Sri Lanka or Saipan, but the latter is more likely and
more recent. If WWRB were not there, RFA would have a fine signal even here
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Usual sloppy operation at Quivicán, Bejucal, and/or Bauta transmitter
sites: Jan 6 on 13680, replay of 1100 UT RHC program Despertar con Cuba was
underway until cut off at 1501*. RNV relay on 11680 was in English about FARC
operations in Venezuela, when also cut off the air at 1504* and still not on at
1515 recheck. RHC DCC meanwhile was continuing on weaker 11760 until that too
was cut off abruptly during a speech by Raúl himself, at 1514* (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 9575, VIRI Russian service is regular here, such as Jan 5 at 1430
after open carrier, ``Golos Irana``, anthem? 1431 into Qur`an; undermodulated
and flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. XERF, 1570, dominating the channel at 2150 UT Jan 5, in show ``El
Baúl de los Recuerdos`` (The Trunk of Memories), presenting only female singers
of the 60s. Ran late so Big-Ben style hourtop 16 chimes did not appear until
2201, `4 en punto`, yeah, sure. Reception was axually worse by then, still an
hour before sunset, because other skywave was building up from peanut-power US
stations, but there are so many of them! Could not catch axual XERF ID, maybe
during fade, but did get `100,000 vatios` and an apparent toll-free 866-
number, mention of IMER, the Mexican government agency which runs it (and used
to run XERMX); after 2202 into news, ``Última Hora`` (Glenn Hauser, caradio,
Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MOROCCO. 15345V, Jan 5 at 1513, Arabic talk and music, Allah al-akbar;
slight motorboating sound and with BFO on could tell transmitter was slightly
unstable. Presumed this as now scheduled per Aoki as RTV B08:
15340 RTV MAROCAINE 0900-1500 1234567 Arabic 250 110 Nador 00255W3502N
15345 RTV MAROCAINE 1500-2200 1234567 Arabic 250 110 Nador 00255W3502N
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. KEOR, 1120, Catoosa, missing for the third day in a row, Jan 5 at
2100 UT; but I am only making one brief check sometime during the days.
Henceforth it will be news if it is back on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. WBAP, 820, with IBOC noise on 830 (too much Kansas City on 810 to
tell the other side on caradio), Jan 5 at 2147 UT; so they are still running it
at least daytimes, nights not checked (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1680, Tue Jan 6 at 0703 UT check was not even in news, but black
gospel music, no doubt KRJO Monroe LA, which tends to be the dominant 1680 here
at night. On UT Sunday I had heard Tom Leykis talkshow later in the same hour
from unknown source. Perhaps the only solution will come from monitoring one
week later than that, unless it was a total fluke (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6074, 8GAL, V/CQ marker in CW again overlapping R. Rossii, 6075,
before the latter quit modulating at 1400 Jan 5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9360-9380, OTH radar pulses perfectly centered on WTJC 9370, and
also audible mixing with it on center frequency, Jan 5 at 1425. Or so it seems.
Possibly emitted by WTJC itself (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
