DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11747 & 11813, Feb 26 at 0627,
crackling spurs of 11780.1v, RNA/RNB are still audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** CUBA. 15700, Feb 26 at 1400, no CRI English relay audible,
just crackling audio, until JIP news at 1401, crackle still audible underneath.
Likewise on 15370 RHC Spanish. Wiggle those patchcords? Or something more
serious, like antenna wires flapping, shorting in the breeze (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [non]. 17790, Feb 26 at 1404,
Brother Scare instead of Radio Africa Network on this WRMI frequency, // and
synch with intentional BS on 15770, 11825. Still the same at 1433, 1450 chex.
Mistaken feed, or backup, default? RAN also deliberately subcontracts BS at
certain other hours, but normally hear their own programming now. Ivo Ivanov,
Blgaria also noted this until RAN resumed at 1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4055-, Feb 26 at 0619, R. Verdad carrier
is unusually still on, slightly on the lo side after normal (exc UT Mon)
sign-off circa 0609*. So I did log them on remnant of Feb 25, which is the 15th
anniversary of their first broadcast, one sesquidecade ago.
Dr Madrid is
really getting into ``TV`` = web video and provides this announcement:
which
says their quinceañera celebration will axually be on Sat Feb 28 starting at
2300 UT until 0330 UT [March 1]. Then we may hear something special on 4055 and
webcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUYANA. 3290-, Feb 26
at 0621, VOG is on but very poor, some modulation, presumably usual BBCWS relay
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 21540, Feb 26 at 1358,
R. Kuwait still AWOL for at least the third day, while 21505 Saudi is audible;
also no 21540 later in the 14 UT hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 9400, Feb 26 at 1349, Chinese from FEBC is back
on-frequency, making only a fast SAH with Voice of Kurdistan, instead of a
horrible het 300-500 Hz above it for the last week. This may well result from
Wolfgang Büschel notifying BRB`s Ludo Maes, broker of VOK, about the problem
suggesting he lean on FEBC to fix it. But will it stay fixed? It`s happened
before. An even better idea: don`t even try to share 9400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. 9475 // 9930, Wed Feb 25 at 2025, unusually the two
operable WTWW transmitters are duplicating (while 12105 still off), preëmpting
dead gospel-huxtering from Laporte for live(?) coverage of the National
Religious Broadcasters annual convention in Nashville, Ted interviewing someone.
At 2242 recheck, still // but now with hymnmusic. Con runs from 23 to 26 Feb, so
maybe even more the next day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U
S A. 750, Feb 26 at 1322 UT, talk in English from ENE/WSW, which rules out KAMA,
much wanted Okie KSEO, KMMJ, nor even WSB this late, tho the Chicagoans are
still in such as 780 vs KSPI, 1000 WMVP vs KTOK. That leaves KBNN Lebanon MO, 5
kW daytimer, which I also presumably logged on Feb 14 last year around the same
time. 1323 UT this year goes on to discuss Led Zeppelin (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 860, Feb 26 at 1331 UT, KKOW Pittsburg KS is
finishing the ``Slap Happy Polka``, on its weekdaily spot, `Polka Time`. This is
mentioned on the Wikipedia page about KKOW: ``the morning polka (7:30 daily with
birthday dedications, sponsored by Grimaldi's Cash Grain feedstore in
Pittsburg)``.
BTW, polka fans with access to the RFD-TV channel may
audition Molly Bee`s polka hour UT Sundays at 0300-0400, and another episode
midweeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

at 1332 UT, ``Newstalk 1050, KSIS and also KSISradio.com`` IDs twice in less
than a minute, i.e. 1 kW ND from Sedalia MO, overcoming the Okies.
I had
also just heard 950, KWOS Jefferson City MO, 5 kW ND also newstalk (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1300, Feb 26 at 1341 UT,
