Bengali service, 1420-1520, 100 kW, 98 degrees from Sirjan, per HFCC. And tnx to

DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 5790, Dec 15 at 0339, JBA carrier,
presumed [Station YHWH] as tipped by Tim Tromp, MI at 0325 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 4600, Dec 15 at 1357 UT, weak but clearly
audible signal matching 1390 KCRC Enid sportstalk, again making appearances. Not
a plain old harmonic, and previously logged early this year:
``4600, Jan
28 at 1352 UT, JBA talk, which on a hunch I match to local KCRC 1390, ESPN, so
it`s some kind of local mix, not a harmonic``
Had I researched my archive
further then, I would have found this strange computation from
2014y:
``4600, May 18 at 0112, JBA modulation from local Enid mix // 1390
KCRC ESPN audio. But our other strong signal, 960 KGWA has to be involved.
Formula: 4 x 1390 = 5560, minus 960 = 4600``
No longer with ESPN. But
there is no sign of audio on 4600 from KGWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A.
7730 // stronger 5850, Thu Dec 15 at 0709, WRMI with an Xmas story involving a
mouse and an organ, Dutch accent, so something from the RN archives, via PCJ
Radio International?? No publicity about this, and only `World Music` on the
7730 grid for this hour Thursdays (but `Media Network Plus` on Fridays, yet to
be heard instead of `Viva Miami`, last weeks). The transmission grid continues
to show Xmtrs 12 & 13, 5850 & 7730 both with `Worship in Your Home` this
hour, only on Sundays.
11580, Dec 15 before and after 1430, this hour
continues to be a reliable source for `World Music` on WRMI, altho never
specified as such in schedules (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

U S A. 9275, Dec 14 at 2024, S9+10 but poor signal, just enough to recognize
DEJOM intoning, so WMLK is on today. Latest from their FB:
``December 13
at 2:38pm · Public
The engineer checking the new/used power supply for the 24
volt DC Requirements. The internal 24 volt battery backup and 24 volt DC set
system could no longer adequately supply the necessary 24 volt supply so, we
replaced it with this Lambda supply. This upgraded supply made it more stable
and the set now functions as it should. We have now returned to broadcasting
from 12:00 to 5:00 DST [sic!]. We also had to replace the audio attenuator as it
failed yesterday 12/12/16. Always something! The parts are old but most of the
time they can be repaired in house or replaced
Good News! Received our
first WMLK Radio broadcast response from Japan! The reception report was based
on the broadcast on 12/12/16. We were broadcasting at 150 KW. Praise Almighty
Yahweh for steering the signal in that direction/location! December 13 at 4:14pm
· Public
Ian Loctar: The reception was very good. The audio and signal
strength was like that of a 250kw transmitter ! Edited · Yesterday at
6:28am``
No such wonderful signal and modulation here. Registered azimuth
for this is 53 degrees, CIRAF targets 27, 28 and 39, i.e.
Europe.
9275.035, Dec 15 at 1656, open carrier, 1700 sharp starts music
and talk modulation, presumed sign-on but too weak to copy (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, Dec 15 at 1505, no signal yet from
KVOH; is it on and just not propagating? Still nothing at 1655, so apparently
off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ZANZIBAR. 11735, Dec 14 at
2050, ZBC fair with nice Ungujan music, no announcements until fragment of one
at 2059 cut to open carrier, off at 2100* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, December 15,
UT:
594-NW at 1335
747-NW at 1335
774-NW at 1338 - this one is now
tougher due to continuous music splash instead of talk from 780 KSPI Stillwater
OK
1098-W at 1340
1566-NW at 1341, strongest of the lot, but still no
audio
Enid sunrise today: 1336 UT; will reach latest circa January 6 at 1343

now) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11670, Dec 15
at 1506, NO signal except maybe trace of a carrier, unlike 24 hours ago when
there was a strong signal in Arabic. (11860 YEMEN non is still very good S9+20
now). Maybe it was a mistake or a test. Unless someone have an SDR recording
covering this on Dec 14, we may never know whence (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
