** ALBANIA. 7465, Dec 6 at 0051, R. Tirana is on at ~S9 but low modulation in
Albanian.
7470, Dec 6 at 0255, carrier detectable here in local noise level, so
presumably R. Tirana is not off the air this Saturday night in English to North
America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANGUILLA [and non]. 6090, Dec 6 at 0100, Caribbean Beacon is still AWOL, so
shall try later for Ethiopia or anything else. R. Amhara is scheduled to start
at 0300 when I should have tried, but don`t get to it until 0436 when there is
no signal here, altho there is VP S7 music on 6110, could be Fana (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 2598-USB, Dec 6 at 0442, robotic French YL voice with marine
weather. The CCG site
http://www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/Marine-Communications/RAMN-2015/Part-2-Atlantic-Facilities-Information

Les Escoumins is on the north shore of the St Lawrence River, between Saguenay
and Rimouski, about where it broadens widely into a Gulf across from the
western Gasp?. Natashquan site is much further east on the north shore, at
50?11'N, 61?49'W, even with the eastern tip of Anticosti island to the south
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 11960, Dec 6 at 0119, poor S3 in Chinese with hype, presumably ads,
on CNR1, as scheduled 100 kW, 37 degrees from Beijing 572 site toward North
America at 00-09 (except Tuesday siesta 06-09) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 950, Dec 6 at 0137:07, ``RR`` in Morse, which is all we need
to pin it on Radio Reloj. WRTH has two 10 kW of them on 950, in Camag?ey and
closer Arroyo Arenas.
I was more interested in IDing the soft piano music on 950.03 or so, maybe a
religious station but this time of year not necessarily (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 5005, Dec 6 at 0437 I start checking for RNGE, and from
0447 keep an offset BFO tuned to 5004.7 to hear a carrier come on, but it never
does by 0507 when I quit. Ron Howard has been hearing it regularly in
California; last night Dec 5 from *0452 past 0537, nothing but non-stop African
songs. Maybe it`s different on Sundays, or was he or anyone hearing it again
tonight? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1300, Dec 6 at 0130 UT, amid nicely sung slow rancheras, ``1,300-AM,
Radio Mexicana`` dominating for now, so presumably usual XEP Ciudad Ju?rez,
likely 38 kW day power. However, R. Mexicana is not a listed slogan for XEP or
any 1300 in WRTH 2015, Cant? as of Feb 2015, nor IRCA log as of 2014. We`ll see
what the 2016 WRTH and the 2015 IRCA Log on the way have to say (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEWFOUNDLAND. 2598-USB, Dec 6 at 0122, marine weather from Canadian Coast
Guard, very poor S5 in noise level. Most recent start of a scheduled broadcast
is:
``MCTS Labrador VOK Broadcasts, 0107, St. Anthony, 2598J3E Radiotelephony
Technical marine synopsis, forecasts and wave height forecasts for marine
areas 220, 221, 222, 223, 224, 225, 226, 227, 228, 229, 230, 235, 237 and 238.
Ice conditions and forecast for the East Coast of Newfoundland, and the
Labrador Coast, south of 54N.

Nothing audible on 2749-USB at the moment, from slightly closer Nova Scotia
stations; maybe in a break. St. Anthony is back on the Island of Newfoundland
near the northern tip (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also CANADA
** NORTH AMERICA. 6955.0-AM, Dec 6 at 0042, JBA carrier, even weaker than the
unID on 6940, q.v. Ditto at 0104 recheck. Several logs here
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,24919.0.html
say it was Radio Ronin Shortwave (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Earthquake report: shaking for 15-20 seconds starting at 0102:09
UT during my current DX monitoring session. This is a fairly big one, the
largest so far today, anyway in the US, per USGS:
4.3 28km NW of Fairview, Oklahoma 2015-12-06 01:01:42 UTC 2.5 km deep
Oklahoma authorities are finally cracking down on injexion wells, too little,
too late. Fairview is about 56 km WSW of Enid. State Farm assures that its
earthquake coverage does not rule out man-made ones (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. There are still some anomalies a week after the ice storm,
December 5 checking at 2108 UT:
92.1, KAMG-LP Enid, is STILL on with dead mono air. This has happened before
without any excuse. No one minding the store since it hooked up as a satellator
instead of original local Spanish church gospel huxter
94.3, KLGB-LP Enid, still OFF as I am parked quite near it, yet allowing thru a
non-local signal, presumably the Bott in Kingman KS with same-sounding
gospel-huxter talk to 95.1 KQCV OKC/Shawnee
98.1, WWLS-FM, Village/OKC, had seemed off, but now I can barely hear some
silly sports-talk so apparently on at greatly reduced power. All other OKC FMs
seem back to normal, except maybe 99.7 KNAH (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Reception of KUCO Edmond/OKC, our full-time classical station, has
continued to be marginal, more subject than usual to QRM from KHCC Hutchinson,
Radio Kansas, also classical. Dec 5 at 1452 UT, this comes from KUCO:
``Hi Glenn, I've been away this week from station studios and have just
discovered that we still aren't back at full power. Patrick is headed to the
transmitter this AM to address. Sincerely, Kimberly Powell, Director of
Programming, Classical KUCO``
I reply at 1517 UT: ``Kimberly, yes, as I suspected. Trying to hear PerfOkla
this morning and can`t get a noise-free signal at all. As usual, Radio Kansas
is vying to capture the frequency; often conditions are more favorable for that
in the mornings. Too bad I`m not in McAlester [where KUCO has a local relay,
unlike in Enid]. One more chance with KWTU tonight but their stream is lo-fi
and mono. Or is it a repeat? I think you said the concert was from March.
Glenn, Enid``
And again at 1524 UT: ``Kimberly, Listening at 9:22 am, the signal strength
suddenly surges, now it`s good! Keep it up. I would be interested in knowing
what the reduced ERP was in the meantime.
Glenn``
Replying to my initial reply, Kimberly at 1530 UT: ``You should hear us now, I
heard Patrick turning up the power a few moments ago.
April CMOK [Chamber Music in Oklahoma] superb young Canadian Quartet`` (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA [and non]. 7315, Dec 6 at 0045, surprised to hear some Spanish CCI
under WHRI, totaling S9+25; maybe a language lesson, mentions Johannesburgo,
?frica del Sur. Then find it`s // 7325 RRI in the clear but not quite
synchronized, i.e. the two different transmitter sites.
7325 is Tsiganeshti, and Galbeni is supposed to be on 7335, but apparently on
7315 by mistake. At the time I didn`t know 7335 was where it`s scheduled, but
should have noticed that as I bandscanned if it were there. The other two
Spanish frequencies this hour are 9525-Galbeni and 9730-Tsiganeshti (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 9870, Dec 5 at 2130-2157, I land on BSKSA, as the secular ME
music is the best I can find on SW to lullaby my nap; fair signal, and very
repetitive (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1802 monitoring. Confirmed on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, UT
Sunday Dec 6 at 0445 mid-break, so started circa 0430 this week, and ends at
0459:24. Thruout, there has been heavy CW QRM on both sides; must be some 160m
contest, as the band is full of CW up to 1875 where LSB phoners take over.
Next: I`d appreciate confirmation by anyone awake, and some informal reception
reports of the new airing:
Sun 0900 WRMI 5850 to NW [NEW!]
Mon 0400v WBCQ 5110v-CUSB Area 51 to WSW
Mon 0430 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Tue 1200 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 1415.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 2200 WBCQ 7490v to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7489.9-AM, Dec 6 at 0056, WBCQ with `Shortwave Saturday Night` as J.
P. Ferraro is rambling about the sad state of AM radio in the US, ``corporate
ownership continues to strangle radio``; old record music break after 0100, and
more: 0110, FCC thinking about abolishing clear channels, but another idea is
to clear out lots of little unprofitable stations and make a few superpower 750
or 1000 kW clear channels, which could also run hifi wideband AM stereo. AM
doesn`t *have* to sound worse than FM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9329.9-CUSB, UT Sun Dec 6 at 0108, `Have Goals` is back on WBCQ, same
thing as heard a week ago but it was one hour later in the 02-03 UT hour on
9330. Recognize same content, including reference to gallery show ``Culture
Jam`` in Milwaukee, and before that ``Guns & Money`` about his piece for that
being sculpture made of guns and knives found in sewage tunnels underneath
Milwaukee, etc. So that wasn`t a one-shot, now a two-shot and ----? Still going
at 0155, but off at 0203 check. See my log report of Nov 29 for more details
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5109.7-CUSB, UT Sun Dec 6 at 0447, WBCQ is still on with guitar
strumming, while 7490 and 9330 are off. I guess it`s the `Lost Discs Radio
Show` which ``broadcasts about once a month`` at 03-05. Otherwise it`s 03-04
`Zombo's Mondo Record Party`; 04-05 `The Eric Dolphy Mystery Hour` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5830, Dec 5 at 2157 I notice that WTWW-1 is missing from 9475, so
check 5830 --- yes, the night frequency is already on, re-introducing PPPP; for
how long? You never know when they will switch between night and day in morning
or evening (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 880-USB, Dec 6 at 0142, Wade Pearson (Wayne Peterson? Something like
that) of Reach Beyond with a promo in English for walking to enhance fitness,
but quoting something from Isaiah to go with it. Doesn`t say a word about
Australia or Ecuador or Colorado Springs, let alone shortwave, but this is
obviously on LSB-less KHAC Tse Bonito NM, as always on 10 kW ND day power,
Dineh ignoring the White Man`s rules while taking advantage of his technology
and subjecting themselves to his religion (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 950, Dec 6 at 0146 UT, ad for Galleria, 1960 Kirkendall (sp?). I am
suspecting KPRC Houston, and figure there`s a Galleria there like in Dallas,
OKC, etc. Everywhere? I find this business has one location in a Houston
Galleria, and another at intersexion of FM 1960 and Kuykendahl:
http://www.theconcertpub.com/contact--us.html
FM are ubiquitous fourth?-level roads all over Texas, originally Farm-to-Market
but surely urban as well. Their pavement is often superior to Interstates and
turnpikes in Oklahoma (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1060, Dec 6 at 0132 UT, as I tune in, ID for ``Fiesta, Fiesta,
Fiesta, una emisora m?s de Radiorama, El Paso``. So KXPL has finally started
announcing! Even IDing, after weeks/months of playing nonstop Mexican music
whenever we heard it, and IDed as such only by DF and elimination of everything
else. We still need to hear them uttering call letters, perhaps just as
reluctant to do so as the 1120 Oklahoman (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1310, Dec 6 at 0149 UT, ad for Oak Ridge Living, off 41-A on Dotson
(?) Lane, back to basketball, Xavier vs Western Kentucky, on ESPN 1310 --- that
makes it for sure WTTL in Madisonville, western Kentucky, on US 41 and alt US
41, and the home of:
http://www.assistedliving.com/kentucky/madisonville/oak-ridge-retirement-center/
which is on Dodson Lane, and not to be confused with the radioactive city of
Oak Ridge, eastern Tennessee. WTTL is 1500/500 watts U2, but with a CP for
1500/40 watts U1, per NRC AM Log 2015-2016. An ESPN affiliate but not listed
with an ``ESPN 1310`` slogan per se. Night pattern supposedly has/had major
lobe to SSW, minor lobes to E and W. I can`t find anything on their website or
FB about carrying this particular game (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1510, Dec 6 at 0152 UT, ``Saturday Night`` folk song, 0153 UT, promo
for ``Jimmy Rock Show, afternoons 4-7 on The Rock``. So it`s KCKK Littleton CO,
10/25 kW U4, with night pattern supposedly aiming at Albuquerque instead of
Enid. Better on N-S antenna than on the E-W, where WLAC diffuses an anti-Moslem
rant (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1480, Dec 6 at 0126 UT, as I tune in, ID as ``1480 WGRA`` or
maybe WGRE --- but there is no such station listed by NRC or FCC on 1480, nor
any fuzzily similar call. Lots of QRM, maybe a music station vs all the talk
stations. Also a low rumbling het from somebody too far off-frequency.
Frustrating.
The real WGRA is on 790 in Cairo, Georgia, licensed to LOVETT BROADCASTING
ENTERPRISES, INC. Let`s see if they have any 1480s: NO. There is no WGRE on AM
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6870, Dec 6 at 0041, and several chex until 0205, rechex at 0436,
no signal. I`m trying because last night, RAFman K4RAF, was getting something
weak here in Spanish or Portuguese, like a regular broadcaster, not a pirate.
That reminded me of Sept 9 when a number of pirate-chasers had a 6870 as well,
which turned out to be R. Habana Cuba, but we could never figure out how it
would land in a mix on 6870 and it wasn`t clear to me if anyone axually matched
it to a known RHC frequency; my theory now is that it`s a spy-numbers
transmission which accidentally gets RHC on it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6940.0-AM, Dec 6 at 0042, JBA carrier, also at 0104, presumably
some pirate. A couple of other unID logs of it:
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,24920.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 106.9, Dec 5 at 2110 UT, tuning around on caradio parked at a
restaurant in northern Enid, I find a signal adjacent to local 107.1 KNID,
which is strong enough not to be bothered by ACI, rock music; 2112 ID as
``106.9 KNRL``. As I drive away, KNID strengthens from a nully area and I no
longer hear 106.9. Will look it up later.
Well, after searching thru the FCC and WTFDA databases, I can`t find any KNRL
on FM or AM, nor any similar sounding call on 106.9. I was pretty sure of it,
but the N might have been an M, and the L might have been an O --- Still
nothing in those combinations.
Would have expected it not to be beyond KS or OK, as no sign of tropo DX in
mid-afternoon; sporadic E? Was not fading while I had it, and nothing unusual
noted on lower FM frequencies, altho there was an opening on 6m across western
USA when checked at 2238 UT. That brings me back to a listed KRNO (not KNRO),
35 kW at Incline Village, Nevada! That`s between Carson City and Reno,
certainly possible by Es. Must check 106.9 further for signs of this again or
anything else (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Wolfy,
But in the meantime you had reported this, indicating Ethiopia varied a lot
more than 30 Hz, like almost 2 kHz down. Do you now think this was really
Ethiopia; and my 7235.82 carrier halfway in between?
Glenn
It seems that Ethiopia does vary below 7236, even below 7235. Wolfgang B?schel
now replies:
``re ETH surprisingly 7234.9v, a pity, just before I could MEASURE accurate ODD
frequency, ETH broadcast left the air exact at scheduled 0430 UT on day=6
Fridays! The transmission was on the low side close approx. 7234.8 ... x.9 kHz.

Figuring that there are a few 7030+ owners (or in my case "borrowers") -
Has anyone replaced their NiCad back-up battery?
I opened "my" 7030+ and the NiCad looks great... but why wait.
If anyone has replaced, please let me know what to replace it with.
Many thanks!

If you look on that e-Place and enter "AOR 7030" as a search term, you'll find
someone in the UK selling replacement NiMh batteries, along with some
discussion in his listing.
I haven't dealt with him (that I can remember), so I can't vouch for the
quality or pricing of his product.

CHINA UNIDENTIFIED station, continously playing Chinese music, but not
FireDrake jamming, heard in 02-03 UT slot on 9470 kHz.
Could be parked CNR8 program tx ? like Kazakh CNR8 program from PBS Xinjiang
Urumqi outlet, scheduled later the day, Aoki mentioned opening at 0345 UT ?
Similar UNID Chinese program heard in past weeks on 9475 kHz at 1500-1558 UT
by Austrian DX Herbert Meixner.
Please help to Identify this China mainland program.

** CHINA [non]. 9790, Dec 7 at 0313, CRI relay via CUBA in English achieves
S9+20, and there`s some squeal on this transmitter. MUF isn`t always this
cooperative (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6100, Sunday Dec 6 at 0731, tune-in to big open carrier, must be RHC,
off at 0731.4*. Should have been tail of weekly Esperanto broadcast which had
been messed up until now, but I didn`t axually hear any of it; did anyone?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 15535, Dec 6 at 1446, LAH between two poor signals. Only one listed
in Aoki is Cairo, Abis in Arabic at 13-16; but EiBi also has a CNR1 jammer at
12-14, i.e. vs V. of Tibet same hours on 15537.
9745.04, Dec 7 at 0315, suptorted music, Qur`an? from R. Cairo to North America
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ETHIOPIA. 6090, Dec 7 at 0250, Anguilla is still off, so this time I`m
standing by for Amhara Radio, scheduled to start at 0300. But nothing heard, no
carrier by 0300, altho I am getting S6 on 6110 at 0259 mentioning Fana, and
also an S5 on 5950 at 0302 with some music, other Ethiopian frequencies. There
is however, a trace of a carrier closer to 6089 amid hash, suspected from a
local device. So is Amhara really active, or is that another ex-6090 station?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 5850, Dec 6 at 2330-2400, catch second half of the RMRC
special about EDXC 2015 conference in St. Petersburg: VG signal with mixture of
interviews, classic rock tunes, plugs for club`s new QSL calendar, etc. One
more repeat scheduled on WRMI: Monday Dec 7 at 21-22 on 7570 and 15770 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Another winter sporadic E opening, while analog TV still exists! Dec
6 into UT Dec 7:
2352 on 2, CCI from same offset, one of which is American football so could it
be Canada? Grafix soon identify it as NFL; seems to be bug in upper right with
Televisa oval log, and a word below it, presumably DEPORTES, so would this be
net-2, Canal de las Estrellas?
2353 on 3, Televisa-5 net bug visible in lower right during a drama
2354 on 2, audio now Spanish, CCI from 10-kHz offset
2355 on 2, I make the football video // to KWTV CBS, but considerably ahead of
it on cable
0002 on 2, NFL game but with Spanish grafix; evidently the NFL and other wipes
on CBS are cleanly replaced by Televisa`s. At times the bug in UR is replaced
by something else in alternation; maybe clock?
0007, I try the R75 on 59.75 MHz, and can detect some distorted Spanish
sounding audio fading in and out, but its FM mode is not the FM mode of NTSC TV
audio; almost sounds better by slope detexion in AM mode, but really
unreadable. I do refine the frequency easily to 59.74, i.e. offset-minus. R75
is still using only the same E-W longwire as for HF.
0009, back to the TV set, and now the Spanish audio is OK on it, mentioning
that there are 5 y medio minutos left in the game.
0014, I notice that CBS is already out of the game and into 60 Minutes; they
must have dispensed with a post-game show. The DX seems to have faded out
anyway, and I have to do something else for the next hour+.
0128 on 2, recheck, there is algo Es video DX again
0130 on 2, it`s a guy in a labcoat being interviewed by a woman, apparently
about some female medical issue. Crawlers in white at bottom show phones in DF,
Guadalajara, Monterrey. There`s a big lower-case script g bug in the upper
right, and sometimes in the lower left, presumably logo of the infomercial
advertiser.
0137, TeleVer full screen ID, so XHFM Veracruz
0139, back to lab coat guy
0145, woman wraps up the show, website or facebook looks like ingestudio or
something like that
0146, news segment including about Pres. Obama`s address last hour
0151, CCI, comedy in Spanish; all the above on ch 2
0153 on 4, algo very poor in Spanish
0154 on 4, Televisa-5 net bug in LR
0203 on 2, federal anti-child-labor PSA; ad for navidad at B-STORE
0204 on 2, Azteca-7 promo for Simpsons(?) at 7:40
0207 on 2, animation dubbed; crawler at top running right to left --- I wonder
if it`s a warning about the imminent DTV transition?
0210 on 2, I recognize the anim as Toy Story (or a sequel) with the cowboy;
shortly fadeout (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. ``When will it come to life?`` TODAY, Dec 6, K17JN-D, Enid finally
starts some video and audio modulation instead of black silence for the past
week --- and just as I expected based on same company`s Ardmore LP station,
it`s multiple channels from 3ABN, Three Angels Broadcasting Network, a
Seventh-Day Adventist offshoot. Just what Enid needs, SIX new local
gospel-huxtering channels! First noted at 1634 UT, but they are all breaking
up, with slightly weaker signals than the black tests had been. PSIP IDs
display as follows; some are *letterboxed, some not, and aspect ratio Cannot Be
Changed on any of them:
17-1, K17JN-D but 3ABN bug in the lower right
17-2, 3ABN-PR
17-3*, 3ABN-DD
17-4*, 3ABN-ES [Espa?ol]
17-5, AF-TV [Amazing Facts]
17-6*, HopeTV1
At 1650, it`s back to black with good signals still on the meter; 1710 resume
all six now without breakup; 1841, back to black; 1846 resume and apparently
OK, on to stay now, tho I am not watching all afternoon. I`ll bet this goes
unnoticed in the local media, but now maybe 3ABN will petition Suddenlink cable
for must-carriage?
I have the impression that the 3ABN Adventists are on the outs with the
Adventist World Radio faxion, doctrinal disputes? But haven`t researched that
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1802 monitoring: Awoke just before 0900 UT Sunday Dec
6, so checked 5850 VG signal for new WORLD OF RADIO airing on WRMI --- and I
hear: Wavescan! Well, the WRMI sked says WOR. I`ve asked Jeff if he still
intends to run WOR then from next week?
The 0400 UT Monday airing on Area 51 and WBCQ 5109.7-CUSB is pre-empted by John
Lightning running way over; evidently he forgot to turn on his mike during a
previous hour, and he starts a pre-recorded segment around 0420. I don`t yet
know whether WOR will appear after 0500 or not at all this week. Confirmed on
9955 WRMI webcast at 0430 UT Monday December 7, but it`s very weak on 9955.
Next:
Tue 1200 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 1415.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 2200 WBCQ 7490v to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6100, Dec 6 at 1403, open carrier with fast SAH, over second
station. Per Aoki, KCBS Pyongyang is on here before and after 1400, while CRI
Mongolian via Urumqi ends at 1357: nothing else close (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15200.0-USB, Dec 6 at 1449, 2-way Spanish INTRUDERS (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
