** KURDISTAN [non]. 11600, Jan 3 at 1500, dead air for a minute or so after which it seems weaker, so site change by Denge Kurdistane? Might be PRIDNESTROVYE, FRANCE or BULGARIA. I haven`t tuned in early enough to track it more carefully (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 9690, Jan 2 at 2110, no signal from REE North American service; nor anything detectable on // 15390, 15500. It`s the third day in a row AWOL, which apparently no one else has noticed. I posted this to the noticiasdx yg, where some of the participants should know or be able to find out what`s going on with REE:
``REE desapareció wghauser 2 ene 17:19 --- Desde el 31 de diciembre, y todavía el primero y 2 de enero, no escuchamos nada en las frecuencias habituales de REE, ni en 9690 para América Norte, ni en 15390 ni 15500, entre las 19 y 23 horas TU. Temo que se hayan anulado este servicio, por lo menos en onda corta, sin aviso previo. Favor de enterarnos de qué pasa. 73, Guillermo Glenn Hauser``
One reply so far, Jan 3: ``Buenos días Glenn, hoy a las 1900 estaré chequeando las frecuencias de REE. Yo en días pasados no intenté sintonizarle. Me sorprende que hayan cancelado sin previo aviso, pero todo puede ser. Saludos. Manuel Méndez`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15220 & 11720, Monday Jan 2 at 2110 check, VOA Creole service is still gone on weekday, so assume canceled for 2017. Or totally rescheduled? Haiti no longer needs this? Or, did it ever? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1858 monitoring: confirmed UT Tue Jan 3 after 0030 on WRMI 7730, very good but somewhat undermodulated. Not confirmed at same time on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB, no signal, and 9265 WINB is VP. Next:
Tue 2130 WRMI 15770 to NE
Tue 2300 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 0030 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Wed 1030 WRMI 5850 to NW [NEW]
Wed 1415.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 2200 WBCQ 7490v to WSW
Thu 0030 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Note: Allan Weiner says that WOR will also be airing at variable unpredictable times during his Radio Jennifer service on expanded hours of WBCQ 5130v. Also, propagation has been so poor that one cannot always confirm the 9330 airings (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7490, Jan 2 at 2235, WBCQ with no CCI het unlike yesterday, gospel huxter proclaiming ``if you become a member of a church, you join yourself to a whore``. Okey-dokey. It`s `The Remnant Ministry` scheduled this hour on Mondays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5765, Jan 3 at 0653, WRMIBS is missing. Then I check all other WRMI frequencies, and find something must be quite wrong at Okeechobee. 5015 is also off; 5950 also off. These are on: 5850 // 7730 with World Music instead of BS; 6855 with different World Music than the others, instead of BS; 7570 BS; 9395 TN; 9955 BS; 11580 music not BS.
15440 & 17790 & 13695 & 5015, Jan 3 at 1508, no signals, but the others are at least detectable at 1537 chex.
Oh2, WRMI has just updated their frequency sked, effective Jan 2! which I have conveniently tinied to
http://tinyurl.com/WRMIfqs
It`s not outages, but major 2017 revamp of scheduling, showing a drastic reduxion in Brother Scare hours, but still on ONLY about 4 frequencies at once. Here it is from the grid converted to text form:
#1: 11580, 24h
#2: 5985, 03-05 only
#3: 7780, 22-12; 15770, 12-22 [but 7780 has been AWOL, still?]
#4: 11530, 00-02 only
#5: 6855, 24h
#6: 9395, 24h
#7: 21675, 14-23
#8: 11825, 13-24 [no 5765 at night]
#9: 5010 [sic, in header but no times; ex-5015 if it come back??]
#10: 9955, 24h
#11: 7570, 23-14 [NO 13695 daytime!]
#12: 5850, 23-14 [NO 15440 daytime!]
#13: 7730, 23-14 [NO 17790 daytime!]
#14: 5950, 11-12 & 22-01
What effect will this have on WORLD OF RADIO? 13695, Thu at 2130, probably our best time on WRMI, is gone, but R. Slovakia at 2100 has been moved to 11580. Not clear if 2130 programs make same move, as program schedules below have not been updated yet. New time for WOR is Wed 1030 on 5850. The others appear to be intact. No changes are shown to the 9955 schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5085, Jan 3 at 0236, WTWW-2 is S9+30 of dead air. I wonder what it might have modulated? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1180, Jan 2 at 2122 UT on caradio, rosary in Spanish, so skywave is already in from 25 kW KLPF Midland TX, Guadalupe net, making 2.2 Hz SAH with algo, probably Omaha KZOT The Deuce (not Duece) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
