** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, Feb 12 at 1900, day after day I have checked this
WRMI for the RAE German relay as has been scheduled since January 8 --- and
finally, today, success!! The RAE sounder fires, and opens in German. 1952
music I fear might have defaulted back to Okee, but it`s still RAE, ``Argentina
al Mundo``, Spanish ID at 1956. At 2000 RAE sounder again, and opening Italian.
At 2029 recheck amid the DX program mentioning various kHz, and something about
Tajikistan; so this is the ``Friday`` edition aired on Monday, which seems to
be the standard delay (at least) in various languages.
Once again, Feb 13 at 1914 check, music, but it`s RAE as IDed in German at
1915; and 2029 recheck a tango and Italian announcement (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WORLD OF RADIO 1917, DX LISTENING DIGEST) see USA: WRMI for more
** CANADA. More beacons at bedtime; see also USA:
218 kHz, Feb 13 at 0708, RL and dash: Red Lake, Ontario, N of Kenora,
500 watts, now heard in OK; maybe no OK monitors at classaxe?
248 kHz, Feb 13 at 0709, WG, Winnipeg, Manitoba; 250 W, add OK
346 kHz, Feb 13 at 0711, YXL and dash: Sioux Lookout, Ontario; 1000 W
351 kHz, Feb 13 at 0713, YKQ and dash: Ft Rupert - Waskaganish,
Quebec; 500 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15508, 15438, 15302, 15233, 15162 approx., Feb 13 at 1541, RHC spurs
out of 15370-AM are not very strong today and only the closest are audible, up
to S9 but not demodulating in FM mode tuning. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS [non]. 9955, Tue Feb 13 at 1449, FG Radio via WRMI with news items
including something about paving all the roads in Malta, finished at 1453 and
again playing classical music fill for rest of quarter hour, from a Brahms
symphony, I think (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 800, Feb 13 at 1207, checking for XEROK, with KQCV OKC nulled ---
not a trace; only CCI is another weak station in English. If on from Ju?rez,
must be very reduced power.
870, Feb 13 at 1211, XETAR, time chex and ID in Spanish, La Voz de la Sierra
Tarahumara, Chihuahua; other usual Chihuahuans still audible on 700, 710, 730
--- but no 800 XEROK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 91.7, Feb 12 at 1832 UT, I tune in KOSU OKC for the second half of
`Fresh Air`; instead I hear an automated ID and timecheck for ``one o`clock``
by Jennifer Reynolds, and the opening teaser for `The Takeaway`, which is the
1:06 pm = 1906 UT program, and throwing to the news almost on the hour --- and,
and --- dead air for almost 30 minutes! until the world catches up to the real
1901 UT and, finally, here comes the news.
Obviously nohuman is minding the store at KOSU, maybe because it`s noon hour,
or maybe because they always depend on the automation to do the right thing ---
but the clock must have been way off. I don`t know whether the `The Takeway`
billboard was really advance for today, or left over from a previous day. Could
be the show is always recorded earlier. This is not the first time that KOSU
has had a serious programming problem (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5130-, Feb 13 at 0038 check, Brother Scare is audible
on this WBCQ. See also USA: WRMI! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Beacons at bedtime, following CANADA, q.v.:
353 kHz, Feb 13 at 0713, LI: Little Rock AR (I was hearing this tuned
to 351, under YKQ at a different pitch)
356 kHz, Feb 13 at 0801, OD: must have been ODX, Ord, Nebraska, only
call including OD around this frequency. Maybe I also wrote X
as I was half-asleep with a sometimes partly dry pen (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1916 monitoring: not confirmed UT Tue Feb 13 after
0030 on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB --- but a JBA carrier, unlikely from anything else, and
if so, presumably airing WOR. Much weaker << than neighbor 9265 WINB, << 9395
WRMI. I missed checking 7730 WRMI at same time, but John Anderson reports:
``7730: Just listened at 19:30 EST on Monday 2/12. The transmission comes in
great in Winterhaven, CA``
Still running behind in getting all material together in time for Tuesday
broadcasts, so 1916 continues repeating: confirmed Tue Feb 13 at 2030 on WRMI
7780, VP in noise, much better but only fair on // 9455. Also confirmed Tue Feb
13 at 2130 on 9455. Once again at 0030 UT Wed Feb 14, 9330 JBA carrier, so WBCQ
may be on with WOR at low power and/or hardly propagating.
WORLD OF RADIO 1917 contents: Argentina non, Armenia, Bonaire and non, Canada,
Cayman Islands, Chile, China, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia and non, Germany, Iran
and non, Japan, Korea South, Kurdistan non, M?xico, Nigeria and non, South

Tue 2130 WRMI 9455 to WNW [or #1918?]
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9395, Feb 13 at 1758, Brother Scare is reactivated on WRMI! Very poor
but recognizable; not audible on // 7780 but could well be on and not
propagating at midday. As Peter W Hanson tipped us, WRMI website schedule
updated Feb 12 shows Overcomer revived at different times than before,
fortunately displacing nothing but some Oldies:
5850 0200-0500
7730 0100-0400
7780 1700-2000
9395 1500-1800
So now we know: his disappearance after arrest in December was for financial
rather than ethical reasons (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9395 // 7780, Feb 12 at 2129, WRMI with Oldies ID, not Power Hour.
Also Feb 13 at 2131, WRMI with Oldies again on these frequencies instead of
`The Power Hour`; including VOA News starting at 2143. O, the latest WRMI sked
has removed TPH from this 21-23 block as well as 13-15. It had been showing
sporadically, last heard Feb 9 all during the 21 UT hour as I reported (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Feb 14 at 0308-0317 UT,
after lots are being reported across North America: 531, 549, 558, 567, 576,
558, 594, 603, 612, 621, 639, 666, 684, 693*, 702, 711, 729, 738, 765, 774(2),
783, 801, 828, 837, 855*, 864*, 882*, 891*, 909, 936, 954, 999, 1008, 1026,
1044(2), 1179, 1197, 1206, 1215(2), 1386?, 1413, 1422, 1458, 1503, 1512, 1566,
1575(+ jambuzz??).
At 0339 I also have something off-channel on 595 which would be Morocco, unless
it`s my KZLS-1640 spur.
* means the stronger ones; (2) means two carriers, or maybe more. Wish I had a
Q-multiplier like on my old HQ-160; just too much hash/ACI from all the North
American stations. This time I have left Preamp 2 on the R75 (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** ANGUILLA. 11775, Feb 14 at 2015, PMS/DGS/TUN/CB is gone again (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, Feb 14 at 1903 check, RAE in German via WRMI; and at
2006, Italian, for the third day in a row. Seems like they may be here to stay;
will note any future absences (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENIN DIGEST)
** CANADA [and non]. More NDBs at bedtime:
382 kHz, Feb 14 at 0708 UT, YPL and dash: Pickle Lake, Ontario; 1000
watts; add OK reception
366 kHz, Feb 14 at 0710 UT, YMW and dash: Maniwaki, Quebec: north of
Ottawa on the way to Mont Laurier; 500 watts; add OK
362 kHz, Feb 14 at 0712 UT, SB and dash: Sudbury, Ontario; 400 watts,
add OK; classaxe notes: ``125' vertical; According to Doug
Klein (2005-01-25): 'Very nice area, once nearly denuded of
vegetation due to air pollution from local mines and
smelters, the area has made a nice recovery.'`` Underneath I
am also hearing OWP 362 from Sand Springs OK - William Pogue
329 kHz, Feb 14 at 0715, YHN and dash: Hornepayne, Ontario: 500 watts,
add OK. Between Kapuskasing & Thunder Bay, but south of
Trans-Canada Highway (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15439, 15300, Feb 14 at 1522, only spurblobs out of 15370-AM RHC, are
here, and quite weak without any FM demodulation. Looks like they are making
progress in diminishing them? Don`t count on it. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9420, Feb 14 at 2020, VOG blues song in English, with harmonica and
guitar; brief Greek announcement and another one. Then into more great music,
but traditional Greek, also in minor keys, good S9+10 reception so this lulls
my nap past 2040; stronger than the bookend WRMIs of only S9 at best on 9395,
9455 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Correxions: the times on these were 1307 & 1311 UT, not one hour
earlier as I first wrote; fixed:
800, Feb 13 at 1307, checking for XEROK, with KQCV OKC nulled --- not a trace;
only CCI is another weak station in English. If on from Ju?rez, must be very
reduced power.
870, Feb 13 at 1311, XETAR, time chex and ID in Spanish, La Voz de la Sierra
Tarahumara, Chihuahua; other usual Chihuahuans still audible on 700, 710, 720,
730 --- but no 800 XEROK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. RF channel A48, Feb 14 at 1529 UT, fog to the south of
here visiblizes, weakly and snowily, the last standing NTSC transmitter,
KOCY-LP, Estrella TV, OKC. Also several BAD DTV signals on 26, 19, 12, 11, 10;
and 28 flashes 3-1 but no decode either, implying KFDX Wichita Falls TX (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9395, Feb 14 at 1524, Brother Scare audible fairly
here on WRMI as reactivated at 15-18 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
See also USA: WBCQ
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1916 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday February 14 at
2200 on WBCQ webcast; trouble is, 1917 was available 20 hours earlier and so
notified the boardops. OTOH, last week, 1916 didn`t make it to 7490 instead of
dead air, but this week 7490 indeed confirmed at 2222; OTOH, with only one
airing per week on a frequency, one edition or another will be missed no matter
what. Now SWLs will have to wait another day for likely good reception of 1917
on 5850. Next, but remember the 9330 airings are still very iffy:

** U S A. 9330.030v-CUSB, Feb 14 at 2008 check, Brother Scare is back on this
WBCQ, but soon cuts off, then on and off, etc., mostly off as they are trying
to get the transmitter to work. Finally carrier stays on long enough to measure
its offset. At 2013 after dead air, BS audio cuts on just long enough for him
to declare, ``resurrexion from the dead``. Carrier stays on for a while but
modulation cuts off and on. If this be revived, presumably BS will stay on here
long hours instead of 5130-? But at 2222 Feb 14, he`s on both! Which may or may
not affect other 9330 programming, since last week, one night he took over
World of Radio time at 0030, the next night we were back (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. 720, Feb 14 at 1930 UT during caradio bandscan, WGN ID right away in
passing, less than one hour after local mean noon, and the sun is climbing
pretty high almost two months after solstice, almost one month before equinox.
If it`s skywave, wouldn`t I be getting higher Chicagoans, notably 1690 WVON?
Nothing there. So more likely extended groundwave tnx to a quiet spot I park.
How about 670 with WSCR which should be just as good? No, only a JBA SAH,
between it and KLTT CO (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 770, Feb 14 at 1412 UT, obviously K`KOB, Albuquerque on 50 kW ND
pattern already, someguy talking about recent visit to Las Vegas, and seeing
for himself the massacre scene. Obviously the *other* one in Nevada, not the
original Las Vegas in New Mexico. Fading at 1417 UT. Official FCC KKOB sunrise
in Feb is indeed 1400 UT; March, 1315 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 870, Feb 14 at 1410 UT, S Asian language probably Punjabi or Hindi,
drops in English expression ``fighting old demons``, loops SSE/NNW, and
presumed KFJZ Fort Worth TX, which NRC AM Log had with BIZ/TLK format (in
English), but must have been updated since. I had similar language mixture at
last log Nov 17, 2017 at 1311 UT. Radio-locator.com now merely says ``ethnic``
with no details and no website. Wikipedia still has it as a BizTalk affiliate.
Sure is hard to find any current accurate info re (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. 910, Feb 14 at 1421 UT, ad with 575 area code, mentions west Texas,
but 575 means Roswell NM, KKBE; soon fade into CCI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. 1130, Feb 14 at 1925 UT on caradio near downtown Enid, KLEY
Wellington KS is all messed up. Continuous spark-pulses at steady rate of about
288/minute or 4.8 per second on this frequency only so not external QRN; mixed
in are very irregular split-second flashes of carrier modulated mostly with
music; sometimes once a second, other times with long 5+ second pauses. During
one 60-second span, I counted 39 of them. I`ve previously noted anomalies with
KLEY, 250 watts not audible here in daytime, while it used to be; and if really
on daytime-direxional pattern, would be going north only, away from us. Who
cares at KLEY? All that matters for this dog is the translator tail wagging it
from 100.3 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1520, Feb 14 at 1404 UT, before it`s too late after sunrise, KYND
Cypress TX reconfirmed *still after several months* running the loop barker
seeking someone to rent this wonderful 25 kW station; under KOKC, but fades-up
and pauses allow me to recognize the spiel previously heard several times. Slow
SAH with KOKC of 36/minute = 0.6 Hz. Owner posted that he doesn`t sign on until
8 am CT, even tho the daytimer could start earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1560, Feb 14 at 1933 UT, KEBC OKC, dominant daytime station with
sportstalk, unusually has some CCI, and seems defective like spur breaking up?
But no het. Nearest other 1560s are WMBH Joplin MO and KABI Abilene KS (Glenn
