** CHINA [non]. 13710, Feb 15 at 1443, VG S9+20 signal of CRI English but with
flutter; much better than undermodulated // 15700 via CUBA running about 4 words
behind 13710, which is 500 kW, 308 degrees from Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN for
Europe --- and totally blocking AIR GOS in English, another 500 kW, at 120
degrees out of Bengaluru, if it`s still colliding on there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** CUBA. 17730, Feb 15 at 1435, RHC AWOL here,
remaining on VP 17750 and fair 17580; once again, the remaining RHC signals are
inferior to the trio from SAUDI ARABIA on 17895, 17705, 17615 (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. 7490.019, Feb 15 at 0649, WBCQ is not BSing, not //
7570 WRMI nor other TOM frequencies, where there is a-moanin` & a-groanin`,
but playing rock music instead. Quick legal WBCQ ID and chime at 0700, then
joining Brother Scare. Not the first time I`ve noticed this happening,
unexplained as supposedly BS is on 7490 before and after 0700, and there was
nothing else scheduled before 0700. Nothing audible on 5130 or 9330 at this
time, both of which are supposedly also BSing all night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, Wed Feb 15 at 1410, FG Radio is playing
on WRMI, with a few news headlines about Turkey et al., but don`t strike me as
breaking news, rather from a few days ago; then playing ``New York Mining
Disaster 1941``, by the Bee Gees, which would appear to be off-topic for Cyprus,
but I believe they`ve played it before, maybe a theme? I get this if I tune in a
bit early for a WORLD OF RADIO check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1020, Feb 15 at 1337 UT, Spanish alabanzas QRMing
semi-local KOKP Perry OK, with a 68/minute SAH = 1.13+ Hz, so KCKN Roswell NM
must be back on air. Loops for there rather than the other 50 kW SS, KMMQ Omaha
market, which anyhow is areligious. It`s tough to keep up with KCKN`s comings
& goings, as the latest NRC DX News dated Feb 20 but published Feb 12,
reported in AM Switch, ``Stations informing the FCC that they are silent: KCKN
NM Roswell – Silent Jan. 26; transmitter was operating erratically`` --- at
least they are keeping FCC informed, with an understandable delay in getting the
info out. The thing is, KCKN has no business QRMing KOKP, since it`s pre-sunrise
there and should be on night pattern with null toward us, and mainly KDKA. But
that`s SOP for KCKN. Are they telling FCC about that? (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX

** U S A. 1280, Feb 15 at 1343 UT, just as I tune in,
non-ID for ``103-3 The Mix``, i.e. KSOK Arkansas City KS, before it`s solid on
daytime groundwave; and the FM is of course nothing but a translator but better
than 100 watts night power on AM? Or rather, ``The Mixx`` per NRC AM Log. I
couldn`t hear the second X; classic rock ensues (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
