** BRAZIL. Never mind the report I mentioned that RNA had reactivated 6180, but
which I haven`t heard. That was a mistake for 11780+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 1620, Feb 19 at 0137, Spanish pop music. Must
be Rebelde FM, since not // 1180 or 5025 which are in béisbol. Well, their top
players defecting to MLB still have their choice of Rebeldes in América! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 9580, Feb 19 at 0123,
CRI English relay is OFF, no signal, but formerly redundant neighbor 9570 via
ALBANIA remains at S7. Other Cuban transmitters are propagating on 31m: 9490 and
9565 jamming, 9535 RHC Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
EAST TURKISTAN. 9590, Feb 19 at 0124, pop music at S7, from CRI Spanish via
Kashgar (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9930, Feb 19
at 0121, ERT whine centered here, NOT on 9935; have they decided directly to
take on T8WH and WTWW? 9420 with Greek music is S4 at 0127 Feb 19 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 9445.6, Feb 19 at 0125, very poor
signal in Spanish, weird: must be VIRI, 500 kW, 310 degrees from Kamalabad,
supposed to be on 9445.0 at 0020-0220. Listed // is 7225 in the Western
Hemisphere hamband, also Kamalabad. I wonder if it`s off-frequency too? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1020, Feb 19 at
0141 UT, praise music in Spanish owns frequency, i.e. 50 kW KCKN Roswell NM
still not nulling toward KDKA; but there is also a heavy SAH of 2.5 Hz, with DF
fitting for my semi-local KOKP Perry OK. I conclude that KOKP is in dead air
instead of Triple-Play Sports.
Listening further, I hear a weak
country(?) music station which seems to be close to the KOKP direxion. Not that
many 1020s in the USA, and format unmatches any of them, near or far, in NRC AM
Log. DF is no good for Mexico either. Maybe it was really one of the three
Cubans in WRTH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980,
Feb 19 at 0105, two very poor carriers from R. Chaski and BBC/UAE, amid the
splash from 5985 WRMIBS. I detect the stronger carrier going off at 0106:58*,
which is 45 seconds later than 0106:13* on Feb 12, last catch seven nights ago,
averaging 6.4 seconds later per, still on track (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** UGANDA [non]. Re Ugandan Diaspora P10 Radio: Harald Kuhl
reports that they plan to continue at least until Feb 20, on the 18 and 31 m
bands. ? Unclear whether they mean 16 or 19m instead of 18, and people aren`t
hearing the morning broadcast supposedly on 9685. So try 17840 before 1600,
15680 until 1900; or original 15405 at 1630-1700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1813 monitoring: confirmed Thu Feb 18 at
2100 on new 13695 from WRMI. Very good! I`ve added 13695 to BST-1 caradio
memory. On 315-degree beam right at us (and I hope good elsewhere in N America).
The 0030 UT Friday Feb 19 airing on 9330v-CUSB WBCQ can`t be confirmed; not sure
there is even a JBA carrier tonight. At 0102 try again, now maybe a JBAC around
9329.9, and a stronger but still very weak signal on 9331.15-USB, 2-way perhaps
in Spanish. Meanwhile, 9265 WINB is S9+35. Next:

** U S A. 3215, Feb 19 at
0109, Dave is live(?) on WWRB, advocating the advantages of ham radio especially
for doom-and-gloomers, one of which Dave says he is not; can`t call this a rant.
WWRBS is also on 3185 now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S
A [non]. 9975, Feb 19 at 0119, no signal from KVOH, but there is some video(?)
buzz probably from a nearby device; yet, Cairo attains S5 on 9965.21 at 0120 Feb
19 with open carrier/dead air (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

UNIDENTIFIED. Re: ``4888.0, Feb 18 at 1324, JBA carrier, between
4885 South Korea and 4895 India, so I wonder what? Maybe Ron Howard will find it
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)``
Ron Howard does reply: ``Hi
Glenn - Yes, heard a strong signal; seemed to be OM saying something, but unable
to turn it into a readable signal; tried USB, then LSB, then carrier, but
nothing worked to make it readable. Military or some type of utility?`` (Glenn
