Glenn Hauser logs January 20, 2013

** CUBA. 5855-AM, Jan 20 at 0529, several Spanish YL 5-digit spy number groups, no digital burst interruptions in less than the minute I listened.

6060 // 6120 // 5040 // 9810, RHC music in Spanish service, Jan 20 at 0530, not // different music in English service on 6010 // 6125 // 6165. 6060 is supposed to be in English instead of Spanish after 0500. Another day, another anomaly at this slipshod station. By 0613 recheck, 6060 is now in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST).

11750, Jan 20 at 1454, open carrier here while 11760 is nominal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH. 5150, Jan 20 at 1215, I am awake early enough, so check for the final MND Radio transmission of the day lastly using this frequency, and there it is, YL in Korean but very poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 970, Jan 20 at 1240 UT, just as I tune in, ``La Jota Mexicana, 9-70``, i.e. XEJ Juárez, Chihuahua (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 530, Jan 20 at 0620, Vance AFB, back to alternating only two Ad Council PSAs, the same two I first heard 48 hours earlier, about the same time of night, Smoky vs Wildfires, and Sarah Watkins, dontalmostgive.org --- so maybe there is some kind of ``program schedule`` about which PSAs play at certain dayparts. I`m sure the Ad Council could provide many more to increase the variety and our listening pleasure (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1652 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-1 5830, UT Sunday Jan 20 at 0500, still interrupting my opening for canned ID. At outset, signal was rather weakish but rechecked at 0528 quite strong. Next airings: on WRMI 9955, Mon 0530, Tue 1200. On HLR 7265-CUSB: Wed 0630 & 1630 (need to be reconfirmed) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 810, Jan 20 at 0630 UT, gospel music from NW/SE, and not much competition from WHB to the NE; 0637 ``glorifying his name, Victoria`s KLVZ, where love lives``. Victoria? Texas? Across the Strait of Juan de Fuca or Puget Sound from BC in Washington?

No, KLVZ is in Brighton, Colorado, and the slogan matches in the NRC AM Log, address in Aurora, U4 2200/430 watts. The ``Victoria`` was pretty clear, but I don`t know of any such place around Denver. There is a Victor CO near Cripple Creek.

Googling around, I find posts on
http://www.denverradio.net at the end of July 2011, http://www.denverradio.net/newforum/viewthread.php?tid=8187
that its Spanish format was ending, and referred to having started as ``Radio Victoria`` on 1220. So apparently that slogan lives on in English. BTW, KLVZ is licensed to KLZ Radio (560). I see the similarity.

Surprised I haven`t heard this before as night pattern

has major lobe to the SE, and another almost as major to the NNE, with a deep null at 75 degrees, which is not exactly the direxion to Kansas City (but New York?), other nulls roughly toward Seattle and LA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2660, Jan 20 around 1220 UT, very weak carrier here from a suspected second harmonic of 1330. Still seemed to be audible at 1455, which is rather late for anything at a distance (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
