Glenn Hauser logs December 13-14, 2014

** BRAZIL. 11648, 11681, 11714, 11747, 11813, 11846, approx., multiples of 33 kHz, extremely distorted modulation-peak spurs from 11780.1 RNA/RNB, Dec 13 at 0700, so now it`s even worse than earlier this evening when I was not getting the lower two, which are third- and fourth-order, progressively weaker, but detectable and matchable to the others and the fundamental (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9935, Dec 14 at 0226, ERTOpen is on tonight, but with humwhine in Greek, while // 9420 is OK. I seldom wait for a definite ID on these, but I see someone recently reported 9935 as the Macedonian station, which I think has been gone from SW for over a year, right? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1640, Dec 14 at 0046-0051 and 0210 UT chex, KZLS Enid is open carrier/dead air, allowing WTNI sports, something in Spanish, probably Utah, and other CCI to encroach. I say again, if you hear nothing on 1640, there`s a good chance it`s KZLS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1751 monitoring: confirmed on KVOH, 9975, UT Sunday Dec 14 from 0231, strong signal but quite undermodulated. No breaks for the first three minutes and still going at 0257 check, so I assume all was OK. Prior, carrier on at *0224.5, tone at 0227, praise music at 0228, sign-on at 0230. Next:

Sunday 1000 on WRMI 5850 [scheduled but could someone awake confirm?]
Sunday 2300 on WRMI 11580
Monday 0400v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB
Monday 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
Tuesday 1200 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 0401 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
Wednesday 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB
Wednesday 1415 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 2200 on WBCQ 7490v
Wednesday 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395

** U S A. 9395, UT Sat Dec 13 at 0658, Global 24 via WRMI, news report with French accent, so evidently RFI relay is back on the 0600 hour, unlike last night. At 0705 recheck, now it`s `Switzerland in Sound`, old chat between The Two Bobs lamenting turnoff of the last three Swiss Radio MW channels, 765 finally, remarking at that time that RNW was still on SW, and also about events of Dec 7 so evidently chosen from archive to match the anniversary date a few years later.

9395, next check Sat Dec 13 at 1548, outro a piece on `Classics & Beyond`, on to more flute music; 1559 announces that this was sponsored by Universal Radio, then a ConnectorZone ad which is merely supporting Global 24 in general with plenty of spots too. 1600 on to Deutsche Welle relay, All four programs now match their google spreadsheet schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5110-, CUSB, UT Sat Dec 13 at 0714, surprised to hear jazz on good signal, slightly offset low, so no doubt it`s WBCQ on the air much later than usual. 5110 is FCC-available 24 hours, and maybe Allan has already sold some more time on it to free radio broadcasters. The Area 51 schedule was supposed to end at 0500:

** U S A [and non]. 15550-USB, Dec 13 at 1455, WJHR gospel-huxter almost sounds like an AM station, as the R. Tamazuj carrier via VATICAN is already on the air prior to 1500 broadcast. But WJHR talk is slightly off-pitch, not a perfect fit to the carrier frequency, nor is the carrier strong enough to keep the S-meter from bouncing; and both will be useless in a few minutes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
