Glenn Hauser logs December 12-13, 2018

** CUBA. 12000, Dec 12 at 0657, JBA music // 6000, i.e. RHC English X 2. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13764 & 13636, Dec 12 at 1506, RHC-FM spurs out of 13700-AM; also further pairs weaker outwards, all approx. circa 64 kHz multiples: 13833 & 13572; 13897 & 13505; 13438-trace. At 1540 the closest peak is now about 13769, still VG S9+10. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, Dec 13 at 0133, RHC is S9+10/20 of dead air instead of scheduled French. Toujours, quelque chose erroné à RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6165 undermod // 6000 moremod, Dec 13 at 0134, RHC English already running presumably from 0100 contrary to *0200 wintersked. You never know what the configuration will be later: at 0526: 6000 & 6165 English, 6060 off, 6100 & 5040 & 11840 Spanish; 12000 JBA carrier; 11700 VP algo.

At 0627: 12000 JBA carrier; 6100 poor now in English; 6165 better, 6000 S9+20, 5040 all in English; and 6060 is still off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13780, Dec 13 at 1429, RHC open carrier/dead air at S9+10 but flanked by a panoply of raspy spur peaks approx. plus and minus 3 kHz multiples between 13753 and 13802. No FM spurs out of 13700 at this time. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 800, Dec 13 at 1407 UT, KQCV OKC is off! I hear an ID in passing sounding like ``WBUL``; the closest fuzzy match in the NRC AM Log is WVAL, Sauk Rapids MN, 2600/850 watts U4. Credible, since 830 WCCO is still in. No sign of XEROK on 800 either. 

Trying to pull more of WVAL or somethings in absence of KQCV, but it cuts on at *1415 JIP gospel huxter, as if 1415 were its proper sunrise in December, which is really 1330 UT (Jan: 1345 UT) --- but KQCV is semi-local here day & night, 2500/1000, psra 38 watts (what`s the point of a psra much lower than your night power?) IIRC, KQCV`s pattern is out of whack with an STA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 11815.717, Dec 12 at 1543, VOT in Turkish talk, S5-S8 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9455, Dec 12 at 2100, WRMI with Supreme Master TV on extended sked, discussing first-nations regalia, S9-S6. Sked grid shows this and 7570 both new and extension of 15770:
11-14  7570 at 315 degrees
14-20 15770 at  44 degrees (ex-87; so much for sub-Saharan Africa)
21-24  9455 at 160 degrees
But no longer on 9395 at 23-24 M-F or 5950 at 00-01

** U S A. 5830, Dec 13 at 1510, hearing nothing on 9475, I check here to find WTWW-1 still on night frequency with PPPP. But no WTWW-2 Xmasmx on 5085, which had been on late into the night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5009.673, Dec 13 at 1512, JBA carrier, maybe trace of music. Has Madagascar varied down to here, by long path, or am I chasing a phantom? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11820-11840, Dec 13 at 1435, rapid clicking like OTH radar (not DRM). Which reminds me, it`s been a very long time since I have heard any such OTHR inband or outband (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
