Australia is still on and audible fairly. Also at final check UT Jan 31 at 0034, S7 to S9. I had to miss the last gasp of Waltzing Matilda at 0100****, as my only chance to see ``Arrival`` on an Enid screen was at 0050! 9580, Jan 31 at 1417, in the absence of R. Australia, now unblocked weak reception of DW in Dari/Pashto via UAE at 1330 to 1430, when rechecked it is off. This was not enough to bother RA here, nor: Shortly I sent this to Jeff White at WRMI: ``Hi Jeff, With the big hole Radio Australia has left on 9580 this morning, I just got a bright idea. Why not have WRMI move onto that frequency with a relay of RA, say 12-15 UT, give or take? You could afford this by replacing 2 or 3 hours a day of World Music on some other transmitter with RA, at no additional cost. You probably would not want to do it, but perhaps a nominal cost would be acceptable. This could be a crowd-funding thing. It`s hard to think of anything which would be more attractive among ex-SW stations to relay. Should be on a 315 antenna of course, which I think you have available at those hours, without researching it. Would ABC endorse this? Probably not, but you would be doing a great public service to North American listeners, great publicity for WRMI. Do it on your initiative and stop it only if ABC insists. {This would also serve a useful purpose in friendly occupance of frequency to keep other stations away, in case RA can ever revive itself.} 73 (Gl enn Hauser, Jan 31, WORLD OF RADIO 1863, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also SIKKIM ** AUSTRALIA. 11980, Jan 31 at 1423, we still have Reach Beyond on SW from this continent --- somehow, it`s not the same, with a sermon about Thessalonians. This English broadcast is 1400-1430 daily (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CANADA. 800, Feb 2 at 0549 UT, on E-W antenna without even trying I can copy CKLW atop CCI from KQCV OKC, with Bell`s Canada ad, and something in Windsor/Essex (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 890, Feb 2 at 0544, romantic song in Spanish on E/W antenna without needing to null WLS, same // two syllables later on weaker 900. This means it has to be R. Progreso, 890 per WRTH being 200 kW from Chambas-Centro 6 in Ciego de ?vila, mid-Cuba; 900 being 50 kW at San Germ?n, far Holgu?n. 900 delay must be caused by a satellite hop or two to Holgu?n beyond Ciego de ?vila. So I also try to detect a // on 880 beneath KRVN/KHAC and whatever: almost positively. That would be 12 kW at nearest Pinar del Rio-San Juan. 900 is one of Cuba`s most powerful single MW transmitters, the other 200 kW being the main Rebelde on 710 but lots of relays also there to block ``wacky`` WAQI, Miami. 0545 segu? to a more upbeat song, and on 890 I can tell the modulation is distorted. Soon WLS fades back up overtaking (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 5025, Feb 1 at 0439, R. Rebelde is still off, while 4765 Progreso and 5040 RHC are on. 5025, Feb 2 at 0526, still off while 5040 is on. 5025, Feb 2 at 1329, Rebelde is on again, even S9+10 but undermodulated. Seems to be a regular pattern now: on in the mornings, off in the evenings, why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 17730, Feb 1 at 1450, RHC modulation is breaking up, and with BFO on, so is the carrier; then clears up somewhat (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, Feb 2 at 0535, RNZI is the SSOB at S9+25, way more than 11780 Brasil S6. RNZ CEO has assured Pacificans that its SW service is secure, now that Radio Australia has abandoned them.

With BFO I notice a slight beat and measure it on R75 at 11725.012. Good music show, outro at 0659 as Klezmer edition on `New Horizons`; had played ``Heart Belongs to Daddy``, jazz by the Auckland Jews Brothers Band. 7355, Feb 2 at 1345, more good music, classic rock, 1400 news, 1405 story reading introed by Ravel`s Bolero (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1863, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 9120, Feb 2 at 1303, JBA talk at S2-S3, another Sound of Hope/CNR1 jammer? No, fortunately fades up a bit so I can hear Brother Scare mixing with // 1390 local KCRC equally stupid sports talk. So it`s a mix with 7730 WRMI, 1390 kHz below, which is still on, and there should be another 1390 kHz above 7570 WRMI: and so there is, on 8960: in other words, overload mixing products in the R75, which go away if I switch from normal Preamp 2 to 1 or none (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ROMANIA. 11975, Jan 31 at 1423, jazz with announcement in Romanian, from RRI, which is 14-16 from Galbeni to France, and beyond! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SIKKIM. 4835, Feb 2 at 1328, JBA carrier, presumed AIR Gangtok now that Alice Springs is gone. However, note this from Brian Powell, Sydney, DXLD yg: ``According to news via my local 2m repeater, I heard that Melbourne ham Peter VK3YE reported a pirate taking over 4835 kHz a few hours after VL8A left the frequency. He has posted a YouTube video of the transmissions. Please see the following link for more details. Strong language warning: https://youtu.be/y8_0IAGm0B4 Regards, Brian Powell`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SLOVAKIA [non]. 6855, Feb 2 at 0531, stilted Spanish from R. Eslovaquia Internacional, which means this WRMI is on System B this hour, and // 9955 where REI is scheduled daily, but inaudible there, only pulse jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** UKRAINE [non]. 11580, Thu Feb 2 at 1333, RUI via WRMI in well, so I listen for a while. News item mentions ``today January 26``, 1335 into `Ukrainian Perspective`, mainly about Russian interference in Crimea, eastern Ukraine. Also at 1342 about January 27 to be Holocaust Remembrance Day. By now I have concluded this is a week-old broadcast! WRMI server has a different file name for RUI each day of the week, and indeed the Thursday file is not replaced until 1735 Feb 2. So if one is late, we get a week-old show rather than a day-old show. I wonder if this be a regular problem for the 1330 broadcast? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U A E. 9580, Feb 1 at 1428, VP talk in presumed Pashto from DW as scheduled preceded by Dari at 1430, 250 kW, 45 degrees from Dhabbaya; 1429 BaBcoCk music IS, 1430 open carrier to 1431.7* (I misremembered this as BBC on WOR 1863).

Frederick (with an E) Moe (not spelt, but presumably). It`s the same episode #2 as heard before. Nice low-key N.A. music plays continuously including underneath Moe when he is speaking, also low-key. He`s trying to be inclusive, building bridges, rather than exclusive. Quite pleasant compared to so many screaming gospel huxters. There is still no full sked for this hour on these two frequencies, but it may be the same as virtually inaudible 5950, which has blank spaces for 2230-2300 on Mon & Tue. I can`t find this program anywhere on WRMI`s current schedules, 9955 or otherwise, nor on the initial Programming page. It looks like CNAR expired after two episodes as the latest file on the WRMI server is dated November 2; but still can appear as filler (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 15770, Tue Jan 31 at 2123, WRMI, VP S6 signal with `Wavescan` this week on the history of defunct Radio Australia. There will be many more opportunities to hear it better (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also AUSTRALIA, SLOVAKIA, UKRAINE for more items concerning WRMI ** U S A. 7490, Feb 2 at 0100, WBCQ with special booking instead of a default repeat of `Allan Weiner Worldwide`, tnx to Jan 31 notice I received and published on the DXLD yg well in advance: ``Hello Glenn, My former colleague's program The Global Research News Hour produced at CKUW-FM in Winnipeg as a collaboration with globalresearch.ca will be on WBCQ in a one time set of transmissions: 7490 Khz Wed Feb 1 8-9 pm Eastern (0100 UT [Thu] Feb 2nd) 5130 Khz Fri Feb 3 9-10 pm Eastern (0200 UT [Sat] Feb 4th) My Xmas/New Year's present to him also marks an item off of my bucket list.

I wonder if they do this to compensate for earlier outages? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. 840, Feb 1 at 0436 UT, yet another try to ID the Spanish religious station with WHAS nulled. Non-ID immediately upon tune-in as ``--- radio, la mejor alternativa`` and praise music. 0452 UT sermon, 0454 UT Mesa AZ phone number again, (480) 467-4626, then full source ID as ``Voz y Visi?n Radio, P O Box ---, La Quinta, California, 92248``. And phone there as (760) 889-4791. That chex for Indio, California area, not AC (770) as first thought (in Spanish it`s virtually impossible to tell a setenta from a sesenta without extremely clear reception --- why don`t they do as the French do and make 70 = sesenta y diez??), and a missed call-letter ID ``--FM, Voz y Visi?n Radio, tu mejor alternativa`` and fade. Just before 0459 UT legal ID but again I can`t copy the call letters, just ``--- AM 840, mejor alternativa``, back to music. Meanwhile at 0500 UT the Cuban NA is audible mixing, from Santa Clara. Finally I have enough to go on, to nail down whether this is really KVJY Pharr TX, as seems to be the ``only alternative`` not just the best one. Searching on the slogan I get this webpage which is not very informative, http://www.vozyvisionradio.com labeled Indio CA in one spot, Phoenix AZ in another, showing traffic from visitors in Hollywood FL, Bryan TX, Phoenix/Mesa AZ (So do they have stations in these cities too?)
