** CUBA. 5990, Feb 13 at 0101, CRI English via Habana is starting, having failed
to cut off after Spanish hour, and splattering upon 5980 in my first
Chaski-check; finally cuts off S9+45 at 0101:45* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6941.0-USB, Feb 13 at 0032, strong S9+25 pirate
with bluegrass/gospel tune ``Circle Be Unbroken``; 0040 announcement as the Al
Fansome Memorial Radio Show, since Al has lost his battle; then ``Amazing
Grace`` by Evil Elvis. 0049 DJ is talking about Fansome being sympathetic to gay
rights along with his life partner Jay Smilkstein; reading from obit: he was 89,
died in Pittsboro, was bureaucrat at Foundation for Utter Slobbery, for 32
years. Enjoyed watching farm animals at the canal (corral?). Burial service at
The Bog. 0051 news sounder turns into another song. 0055 intro Al`s favorite
song to close out the show, and off at 0059* with no further announcement or ID.
Many other logs of it here:
some
as Radio Bob, some as Radio Roast, and some that it was an old show from
something else (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Feb
13 circa 0030, JBA carrier from R. Chaski; retune at 0104.5 it`s already off, so
autotimer must have undergone another reset earlier since last log. If not, it
would have cut off at approx. 0108:18.5 since it`s already been nine days (x
6.67 seconds later each) from Feb 4 when it stopped at 0107:18.5* (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** UGANDA [non]. 15240, Sun Feb 12 at 1658 and
1825 chex, no signal at all from R. Munansi, thus WWRB seems off, especially
since neighbor 15825 WWCR is fairly audible at 1825. So is R. Munansi gone for
good or just troubled now? You never know, as WWRB has never acknowledged it on
their website, altho it does show a `Global 2` transmission Sat & Sun 16-22
UT on 15240 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 4000-USB,
UT Mon Feb 13 at 0109, MARS net right on the shorter edge of 80m band. S9+25

** U S A. 7490.12, Sun Feb
12 at 2150, WBCQ is S9+10 with test transmission from Radio Mi Amigo
International. Checked here after hearing first few minutes from 2100 on
webcast. Nothing but disco, rock music, test announcements and requests for
reports. Do we really need any more rock music??? During this hour I normally
listen to `Wind & Rhythm, For Those Who Love Band Music`, on KUCO, and I
soon switch over to that.
5130.10-AM, Feb 13 at 0022, WBCQ/Area 51 is
very poor with music; so they have tweaked their frequencies since my last
report of them further off. Later listened to Johnny Lightning online, but fear
5130 will also be VP for WOR at 0400.
7490.06, UT Mon Feb 13 at 0020,
WBCQ with `Le Show`. Instead of his usual shticks, continuous interview until
0056, with unID author, of a book about America`s Wars in the Greater Middle
East. Sounds sort of like Scheuer? And at 0056 wrapup I miss his name! Trying to
listen to 6941-USB pirate at same time. I think Harry said this originally aired
in April 2016. Signal is fading down by now. We can find all about it and hear
Le Feb 12 Show again via http://harryshearer.com
Starting at
13:07 into hour: ``Interview with retired colonel, military historian, author:
Professor Andrew Bacevich``
Preceded by ``Ralph the Talking Computer``,
with a bit about the side effects of Propecia, which acting president Thump is
on:

** U S A. 12015-12086, Feb 12 at 1432,
approx. range of awful spurhash out of 12050 WEWN transmitter, which is very
distorted and hummy on fundamental. Major peak is circa 12030. No doubt that
would have ruined Turkey 12035 had I listened before 1425 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 13656.0-USB, Feb 13 at 0117, very poor
2-way in unknown language, unseems English or Spanish. Not much else on band,
except 13740 RHC, and trace of 13745 Thailand (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
