** BOLIVIA. 5952.28 approx., Feb 7 at 0106, Radio Pio Doce with Andean music,
very poor, but always circa this split frequency. Usually reported more like
5952.44 as on Feb 1 by Bob Wilkner, but that would have required four more 40 Hz
clix on my DX-398 compared to WWV 5000.000 kHz. Yet my indirect method is likely
less accurate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11935-,
Feb 7 at 0126, ``Rádio R-B Dois, AM 14-30`` ID. With BFO, compared to WWV 10 MHz
and stepping 5 kHz up and down around 11935, this station is a smidgin on the lo
side, probably less than 40 Hz. And now we know the gender of the ``2`` in its
name, masculine; why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA.
11670, Feb 7 at 0047, surprised at how weak RHC is here in Spanish, MUF/fadeout?
But // 11760 is still inbooming; how come?
As an outlaw station, RHC
refuses to participate in HFCC, but Aoki shows alleged powers and azimuths. At
this time, 11670 is listed as 100 kW ND, while 11760 is 250 kW at 160 degrees,
i.e. away from us much like 9955 WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 9860, Feb 7 at 0044, R. Cairo, good signal but
suppressed/distorted music modulation
9965, Feb 7 at 0045, R. Cairo, good
signal, open carrier with whine
12035, Feb 7 at 0049, R. Cairo, good
signal with loud but extremely distorted modulation, supposedly Spanish, and
atop any CCCCCCI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE.
9935, Feb 7 at 0045, ERTOpen with severe motorboating and carrier wobble during
music but good signal level, // unmarred 9420 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, Feb 7 at 0041, pirate music, with YL
parlato at the moment, 0047 wild rock, 0050 ``X-L-R-8`` ID, more music; 0131
another XLR8 ID but this one by synthetic voice, pause and more music; good
signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST
** PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 7325-,
Feb 6 at 1408, JBA carrier slightly on the low side. As before on Feb 2, this is
during the half-hour window when strong CRI signal is taking a break, a sign
that Wantok Radio Light, 1 kW, is active again. If not, what else is it? The
WRTH National Radio update issued today says unequivocally that WRL is back, but
I`ve yet to see any definite logs of it, not even by Ron Howard in California.
As in DXLD 15-04:
Rick Barton in AZ presumed he heard it in Englishish on Jan
23
Ron Howard in CA could not hear even a carrier on Jan 24 or 25, but
reminds us the frequency had been 7324.96 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** PERU [and non]. 5980, Feb 7 at 0040, JBA carrier presumed R.
Chaski; at 0100 now seems like there are two JBA carriers, with BBCWS via UAE
added, and traces of modulation. At 0101:36 one of them goes off, which would be
Chaski. Now to try to track progression of approx. 5.83 seconds later per 24
hours, but the BBC QRM doesn`t facilitate it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** UKRAINE [non]. 11580, Feb 7 at 0045, Ukrainian Radio, English
via WRMI is still here at 0030 as well as presumed 2330, about a publishers`
forum concerning culture vs propaganda, mentioning Ukraine. Altho I hear it ID
as above at the opening, Alan Roe says it`s still R. Ukraine International on
the one-hour webcasts; repackaged for WRMI? 11580 is sufficient here but not
super like e.g. 7570 with Brother Scare (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 9395, Feb 7 at
0124, Global 24 via WRMI with Bach fill music yet again. Scheduled at this time
per grid is `Jazz from the Left` at 01-04 Saturdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5111.16 approx., Feb 7 at 0056, WBCQ was not
on at 0040 but it is now with IS & ID loop, and shifted more than 1 kHz to
the hi side of nominal 5110. 9330 remains absent when it used to be on for
`Allan Weiner Worldwide` from 0100 UT Saturdays.
That does start at 0100
with ``William Tell Overture`` but now I am listening to 7489.86 approx.,
apparently using the ex-9330 transmitter. Allan starts off saying he wants to
concentrate on mechanical rather than electronical things this time, such as a
106-year old car he is restoring, as he buys and sells antique autos. (A week or
two ago he said he was giving an antique firetruck to St. Augustine to restore).
Yes, he`s still in Fla-land, temp in the 50s while it`s minus 6 F in Monticello
and tnx to his staff there who keeps the station going. Soon interrupted by
listener calls about other stuff (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9930, Feb 6 at 1417, WTWW-2 is on again filling with classic
rock music, The Association? Extreme-barrel-reverb Ted ID requesting reports,
promising QSL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 550, Feb
7 at 0122, Nebraska weather forecast so briefly hope I am getting wide-coverage
KFYR Bismarck ND, 5 kW which has a minor nite lobe southward, but then on to
Oklahoma and Kansas forecasts, so it`s just KFRM Salina KS, as soon IDing,
``Voice of the Plains, 550-AM, KFRM``, then `Agriculture Today`. It`s only 110
watts at night with circular pattern tangent toward the southwest, same as
daytime with 5 kW and big local-quality signal here. BTW, NRC AM Log also shows
KFYR has similar slogan ``Voice of the Northern Plains`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 930, Feb 7 at 0118, WKY OKC is not
``indomable`` now as I can null it completely to hear English --- and
immediately ID as WTAD Quincy IL, with local ad, ``Talkradio 9-30, WTAD``, plug
the KHQA Super Fan Shoutout, that being TV channel ``7`` in Hannibal-Quincy,
which by the way here is pronounced Quinsy, not Quinzy (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK,
