** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9775, Feb 5 at 1357, R. Free Chosun via RVA PHILIPPINES playing as always ``At 17`` in English musical prélude. Today it`s pretty fluttery, more so than 9800 VOA Tinang (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1640, Feb 5 at 1516, KZLS, Enid-Hennessey-OKC, Reid Mullins, reactivated talkhost ex-KTOK, is saying that there will still be 21 hours of True Oldies from 10 am (16 UT), until his next show tomorrow morning at 7 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, Feb 5 at 0104, R. Chaski carrier until cut off at 0105:32*, which is 27.5 seconds later than last check 5 nights earlier on UT Jan 31 at 0105:4.5, keeping up the average of 5.5 seconds later per night.

** U S A. 9495, Feb 5 at 0047 check, Keith Perron with a `Media Network Plus` with bloopers of trying to make phone contact with someone, of Sat Dec 28, judging from his plug for upcoming Dec 29 special broadcast. Perhaps a regular occupant of this extra RMI hour on UT Wednesdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12050, Feb 5 at 2038 check, WEWN is off, but 13830 is very much on with squeal, and also English on 15610 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9345-9405 approx., Feb 5 at 1512, buzz at the same pitch as heard on 9370 WWRB with lousy Brother Scare audio feed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7506.6, Feb 6 at 0250, no signal from WRNO. I was checking since someone recently reported they had returned to 7505, or even lower (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1140, Feb 5 at 0645 UT, I am nulling XEMR looking for some US station, since someone thought he might be hearing WBXR in AL which is supposed to be a daytimer; don`t hear that, but I find one with C2CAM, sounds like same subject as on countless other affiliates, mentioning ``mansions`` and confirmed as such by tuning to WOAI 1200, which is always running way behind most of the others.

Most likely WRVA in Richmond VA, confirmed on the C2CAM website as an affiliate, tho I have not searched the whole thing for any other 1140s. I remember how pleased I was sesquidecades ago when I first picked up WRVA for a new state in OKC; IIRC, KLPR and XEMR at night were not factors.

I have visually searched the 2014 NRC AM Log and find KNWQ Palm Springs CA is also a `B` station, but unlikely here and may not be on C2C this early. A TN station is also shown as a B-affiliate, even tho it`s a daytimer??

Would you believe there is even another 1140 in Virginia? Daytimer in the western tip, possible because per NRC Pattern Book, WRVA 50 kW has a NW/SE direxional pattern day & night. Which means it`s still a good catch in OK. Palm Springs throws what power it has southwestward into San Diego and the Pacific (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1170, Feb 5 at 0655 UT, still trying to pull an ID from a SS with KFAQ Tulsa nulled, making 72/minute SAH = 1.2 Hz; seems to be quoting Bible when KFAQ fades a bit (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
