** EGYPT. 9745.05, Jan 11 at 0637, R. Cairo manages some suptorted modulation in
Arabic this time, talk and music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** GERMANY. 15205, Jan 11 at 1431, S9 open carrier/dead air; 1433
gospel huxter in English cuts on, rough modulation at first, praying for a very
happy Christmas, a bit late now; The People`s Gospel Hour is opening, offering
2016 calendar, http://tpgh.ca and 1435 pastor
starts. Add /radio and you get a list of mostly Canadian radio stations, but for
SW we are referred only to WTJC 9370 & WBOH 5920, long defunct! Aoki shows
15205 is via Pan American Broadcasting via Nauen, 1415-1430 Mon-Sat, and
1400-1445 Sunday, but this is Monday! HFCC agrees, and the 1430-1445 segment on
``Sundays`` boosts from 100 to 250 kW on same azimuth 95 degrees (Glenn Hauser,

** MEXICO. 700, Jan 11 at 1316, rustic fiddle
and guitar music, staple in the mornings from XEETCH which at 1333 gives full ID
in Spanish as La Voz de los Tres Rios, Etchojoa, Sonora, and also native
languages; 1334 ``toque un baile`` and back to music. Some of the usual other
signals from NW Mexico in the UT -7 zone also in during this pre-sunrise span:
550, 620, 660, 710, 870 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PAPUA
NEW GUINEA [and non]. 7325-, Jan 11 at 1255, CRI Japanese with a JBA carrier
under slightly offset, presumed Wantok Radio Light, reported by Ron Howard to
have reactivated yesterday after many months. As he said, CRI takes a break at
1257-1259, and during that the JBA carrier is indeed barely detectable, in fact
more evident by the beat it makes with CRI when it comes back on weaker at 1259,
having changed from Jihnua to Xian site. Another longer window starts at 1357*
of CRI, but again not enough signal left of WRL to make anything out of it. Why
WRL would choose to confront its 1 kW with 500 kW from China is beyond
comprehension (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 4517-USB,
Mon Jan 11 at 1306, AFA5AB running the NCM3 Air Force MARS net, with AFA5EN,
AFF5IN, and others checking in with no traffic; calls clearly given fonetikaly.
Search finds this website
with
schedule but ``no classified info``, so no frequencies. AFA5AB is shown as NCS
only on Weds at 14z in winter. Mon at 13z in winter, AFA5PW is supposed to be
NCS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 860, Jan 11 at 1326 UT, KKOW
Pittsburg KS with birthday greetings, and one of them gets a polka dedication
played at 1328 UT, regular weekday feature at this time.
Slow SAH from
another 860 station playing gospel music, almost same or opposite direxion.
Format UC:GOS fits for KMVP Phœnix AZ, 940/1000 watts U2, but if it was really
C&W that could be KPAN Hereford TX, 250/231 U1, per NRC AM Log. KMVP night
pattern does have a little lobe this way; and at same time I`m getting further
Sonora on 700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** YEMEN [non].
11860, Jan 11 at 1445, R. Sana`a, usual good signal way over here, during
martial music, interrupted at 1449:21 for Maghrib call to prayer, which is only
2.5 seconds later than yesterday at 1449:18.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 9830.08 approx., Jan 11 at 0635, DW Hausa
via IBB São Tomé, scheduled daily 0630-0700 on 9830, is very weak but also has a
JBA het on the hi side. Nothing else is listed. Is anyone else hearing this?
I`ve had it before. Or could it be something local to me (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
