** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 9580, Jan 29 at 1405, R. Australia on its third-to-last
day, and with rapid regular fading as if a second carrier is on, itching to take
its place; but no other modulation audible. It could be as per Aoki, starting
Jan 11, BBC in Dari and Pashto via UAE at 1330-1430, not usually noticeable
here. RA remains inaudible on 12085, and JBA carrier on 12065. 4835 VL8A still
audible past 1400 not // RA but maybe 30 or 90 minutes offset (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** CANADA. 15034-USB, Jan 29 at 1432, CHR Trenton
Military with a different quartet of aerodromes than I`ve heard before in random
chex, Zagreb, Split, Ancona-Falconara [Italy], Thule. No report received from
some of them. Some have altimeters specified in kilopascals, while Thule is in
inches of mercury, unspecified. Then terminal forecasts for all four: NRR. 1436
ID, mis-timecheck for 1335z, and on to Shannon etc. group. This site has
detailed schedules for this and many/all? other VOLMET stations; 5-minute
segments on CHR except a break at :00 to :10 for possible live broadcasts:

** CUBA. 5890, Jan 29 at 0153, lite
pulse jamming in the absence of WWCR on UT Sun --- IIRC, 5890 used to be a VOA
Spanish and maybe Martí frequency years ago, requiring jamming, and once that
happen, the incompetent DentroCuban Jamming Command will show up again and again
ad infinitum (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. 5025,
Jan 29 at 0119 check, R. Rebelde is still off and there is a JBA signal about
5024.9, presumably R. Quillabamba, Perú (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 6145, UT Sun Jan 29 at 0145, The Mighty KBC
via GERMANY, as Kraig Krist is introducing Conway Twitty on this week`s
Forgotten Song, ``It`s Only Make-Believe`` from Sept 1958. Sounds a bit like
Elvis, until 0148 back to Uncle Eric. Wish I kould katch Kraig more often but
the time is not fixed, and during Saturday night DX sessions there is too much
else going on (pirates, etc.) to keep listening to one frequency (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 5790.0-AM, Jan 29 at 0154,
Station YHWH is on at S9-S7, suptorted modulation, about an ``infamous
homosexual in the Catholic whore Church``. Nasty stuff Martin K. Elliott purveys
from his trailer transmitter somewhere out West (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, Jan 29 at 0129 tune-in to rude noises
and sound FX, ID twice first sounding like Radio El Mundo? And then Radio
Garbunzo. Numerous logs here say it`s Radio Garbanzo until 0129*
(Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Jan 29 at 0103, JBA
carrier from R. Chaski, until autocutoff at 0106:38.5*. Last previous check was
11 days ago, Jan 18 until 0105:25.5*, i.e. 75 seconds earlier, so keeping close
to the average slippage of 6.8 seconds later per noctem (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** UGANDA [and non]. 15240, Sunday January 29 at 1733,
big whine on fair signal from WWRB, instead of R. Munansi; presumably,
modulation input problem (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S
A. WORLD OF RADIO 1862 monitoring: confirmed Sat Jan 28 at 2330 on WBCQ
9330v-CUSB, good (remember, one hour earlier than 6 other days of week). Also
confirmed UT Sunday January 29 at 0431 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, about 5 minutes
in during CHR item, so started late circa 0426. Heavy CW QRM on both sides due
to some 160m contest; it`s amazing how many signals pile up on this band only
when there is a contest. Checked earlier at 0122 UT during ARRL News on WA0RCR,
the CW continued up to 1880, then phone, mostly SSB. Next:

** U S A. 9329.635v-CUSB,
Jan 29 at 1415, WBCQ BS has drifted much lower than usual; in fact quite
listenable on 9329.666 where I tuned it first, ha3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3215, UT Sun Jan 29 at 0126, WWRB is still
purveying wacko gospel huxters, two or three guys in a lather about the imminent
New World Order, economic collapse, blasting Pope Francis, mobile phones, etc.,
etc., justified by prophetic Biblical citations. Modulation and hum are awful
too as usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also UGANDA
[non]
** U S A. 660, Jan 28 at 2330 UT, I turn on the PL-880 still tuned
to 660, and there`s Navajo talk from KTNN AZ, as heard four hours earlier
already, but nothing unusual now, just before sunset here, and while still on
their ND 50 kW day power (sometimes, extending past their own sunset) (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 840, Jan 29 at 1402 UT,
WHAS still dominant with news, ID, but nulled, a gospel huxter in English, and
in third place some Spanish music, presumably praise from suspected KVJY Pharr
TX (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 2130 kHz, Jan 29
at 0121, JBA carrier, presumably a 3 x 710 harmonic, as first reported the
previous morning Jan 28 by Tim Tromp, MI, to the harmonics yg:
``2130 kHz
at 1222 UT and there's a decent carrier with threshold music being heard but too
weak to identify a language or other useful details. Loops towards the South
from West Michigan. Anyone else?``
And an update from UT Jan 29, about
the same time I heard the carrier:
``Checked 2130 kHz again this evening
and found a signal there, presumably the same one I heard this morning but
slightly stronger now at 0100 UT. Music now being heard from Madonna and
Fleetwood Mac and some older hits from the 50s or 60s. Now at 0127 UT (8:27 pm
EST) and the carrier drops and it's gone suggesting a 710 daytimer has just
ended its broadcast day. No clear ID heard. Maybe WTPR? 73, Tim Tromp, West
Michigan``
If a daytimer going off, 0130 UT would have to be the west
coast. Official Jan sunset even for KSPN LA is 0100 UT. NRC AM Log says WTPR
Paris TN operates according to WOR/NYC SR/SS times, which would be even much
earlier. ``Greatest Hits of All Time`` format seems to fit, tho. 73, (Glenn
