** AUSTRALIA. 9580, Jan 13 at 1338, no bigsig from RA as usual, and at first
feared it off, but still there at very poor level, suffering from 9570 CRI/Cuba
splash. MUF must be depressed, and no signals making it on 12085, 12065 (while
12050 WEWN is even JBA). By 1407, 9580 music has improved to S9-S5 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9674.895 approx., Jan 13 at
2237, JBA talk probably in Portuguese, from R. Canção Nova, Cachoeira Paulista
SP, recently reactivated and so missed any listing in the WRTH 2017 even as
double-daggered for inactive or single-daggered for irregular (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 9230, Jan 13 at 1342, JBA
carrier. Aoki shows this is a *jammed Sound of Hope frequency from Taiwan.
Others in the vicinity at various lengthy possible hours are 9100, 9155, 9180,
9200, 9255, 9280 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15230,
Jan 13 at 2304, RHC news sounder and Portuguese, S9+20 but quite undermodulated
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 7355, Jan 13 at
1338, RNZI in clear today, no CCI from KNLS, which must have radiated elsewhere,
or propped out.
[and non] 17675, Jan 13 at 2305, RNZI is VP at S3 = QRN
level, on its summer-only early-afternoon frequency, now scheduled at 2259-0258
daily in AM only, preceded and succeeded by 15720. For comparison, 17840
Australia is slightly stronger, S5-S4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 5403.5-USB, Jan 13 at 2253, QSO from one ham with rough
modulation on a ``60m`` discrete frequency, about freezing rain, complaining
about how his university employer says people should report to work, but not if
the weather is too bad, so which is it? CYA. Call sounds like WB9BZZ, but the
B`s could have been D`s lacking any fonetix, and no combination works in ARRL
lookup. His contact, however, W0DMT leads to RUSHING, KEITH L, W0DMT, GRANDVIEW,
MO 64030. The 9er should be over in Illinois or Wisconsin.
5371.5-USB,
Jan 13 at 2257, another ``60m`` QSO is here, but not pursued, and no phone axion
on any of the other discrete channels (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 5850 // 6855
// 7730, Friday January 13 at 0727 check, WRMI with World Music on all three of
them, rather than Media Network Plus, which continues to appear UT Thursday at
07-08, not Friday as on schedule. It also shows 06-07 UT on 5850 and 7730 at
least with blank spaces except for Friday 0600-0630.
6855, Fri Jan 13 at
2229, WRMI wrapping up `Frecuencia al Día`, and found // weaker 5950 and
stronger 11580, in extended variety programming block. 2230 all go to World
Music for a semihour; after ``WNYW``-style ID at 2259, 11580 splits off for a
new `Viva Miami`, Jeff y Thaïs White in Spanish discussing their pre-Xmas trip
to Portugal; while 6855 and 5950 continue more World Music, including
appropriately, the fado in rotation.
9955, Fri Jan 13 at 2230 with
wall-of-noise jamming, presumably still against WRMI`s Radio Libertad prepeat
which is not revealed on the schedule, but the Commies certainly know about it.
At 2300 something in English vs slightly less jamming, which would be Media
Network Plus as scheduled.
7780, Jan 13 at 2243, WRMI is on with
Overcomer. The sked grid as of January 9 now shows it`s XMTR 9, 22-12 UT at 151
degrees, while 15770, which used to be the same transmitter at 12-22, is now
XMTR 3, 44 degrees, at 12-22, all TOM except variety programming at
21-22.
As of UT Jan 14, here`s in text form what the graphic transmission
skedgrid shows for 6855, and comparing it to same Systems on other frequencies,
which should be // during each block:
0000-0030 H AWR = 5950
0030-0100
F Slovakia = 11580, 5850
0100-0200 D variety = 11580
0200-0230 D Ukraine =
11580
0230-0300 H Prague = 11580
0300-0400 L Taiwan Spanish =
5985
0400-0430 K Japan Spanish = 5985
0430-0500 F variety =
5985
0500-0600 B variety = 9955
0600-0700 B variety [really mostly music
// 5850 7730]
0700-0800 D variety = 5850 7730
0800-1000 B [?? no // shown
but maybe still = 5850 7730?]
1000-1100 F variety = 5850
1100-1200 H AWR =
5950
1200-1500 B variety = 9955
1500-2000 B [??, as 9955 is back to TOM,
but not 6855?]
2000-2100 D variety = 11580
2100-2200 D variety =
15770
2200-2300 D variety = 11580, 5950
2300-2330 H AWR =
5850
2330-2400 H Prague = 5850
