** ANGUILLA. 11775, Jan 22 at 2058, University Network is back after another long hiatus, DGS at S9+10/20, // 13845 WWCR. Causes ACI to 11780 Brasil even with USB tuning. Recheck at 2153, DGS with a Greek lesson (as applied to Biblical interpretation, of course), about the roots `tel` and `krat`, right thru hourtop, 2205 finally usual canned ID for PMS website, ``You are watching the University Network``, phone 1-800-338-3030; 2207 Dead Gene Scott resumes. Tired of waiting for them to QSY to 6090 at 2200 nominal, tune out.
Harold Frodge, MI, also caught this and reports: ``BARBIELAND:
11775, University Network; 2040-2133+, 1/22; Dead Dr. Gene on a roll, focusing on the resurrection; "If you believe what Gene tells you, you’re on a rock. Believe anything else, you’re lost." No ToH break. 2122:10 music break with reservation phone #; never mentioned University Network.
2125:10 into Rev. Barbie on how "saved" people look at those who are not. "God can pluck us from the wreckage of life." S20+ peaks with xmtr? hum + minor 11780 Brasil splash. There seems to be a building consensus that this is not coming from Anguilla. Not there at 1500 check. Last logged on 11775 12/6/17. // 13845 via WWCR(p), poor
6090, University Network; 2254-2305+, 1/22; Rev. Barbie on when/why to celebrate Xmas. R.B. never gets as carried away as Dead Dr. Gene. S20+ peaks with xmtr? hum. 6090 last logged 12/5/17 (Frodge-MI)``
6090, I also find this back on with PMS, Jan 23 at 0030 check. Usual VG signal. Previous reactivations have lasted only a few days at most, since it was ``destroyed`` by August hurricane (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, Jan 22 at 1900, RAE starts its third week of non-relays via WRMI, rather World Music fill, different than Oldies on very poor 7780 (for music, 9420 Greece is better). 9455 is OFF rather than // 7780, leaving a JBA carrier, presumably CNR1/Firedragon jammer and/or Radio Free Asia, which are capable of interfering with WRMI all day on 9455. 2056 recheck, 9455 back on // 7780, and 9395 still World Music, the fado, not RAE Italian. I`ve notified Jeff about this, and my numerous reports are published in Argentina, but apparently no one cares.
If they are still producing new German and Italian programs every weekday, maybe at least a few web listeners are served. O yes, per RAE website, German has a ``Dienstag-Samstag: 1000-1100 UTC (Wiederholung) auf 6005 kHz`` via a Germany transmitter, likely better than 9395 would be heard there anyway.
There are also various podcasts, one labeled ``puntata di oggi``, maybe really as recent as last week, as I hear one headline mentioning Papa in Chile; plus evergreens:

** CUBA. 5040, Jan 22 at 0707, this RHC English is now off, unlike some other nights, leaving only the Cuban Four of Five: 6060 VG, 6000 undermodulated, 6100 dead air, 6165 DA or maybe JBM. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15576, 15508, 15439, 15302, 15234, 15166, 15098, 15031, 14963, Jan 22 at 1517 check, the approx. centers of RHC-FM spurs out of 15370-AM. 15234 manages to QRM both RHC 15230 and algo legally on 15235. During `Sonido Cubano` music show, but still sounds better on AM. Something is always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [non]. 5850, UT Mon Jan 22 at 0659, WRMI S9+30 carrier on, // 7730 also VG; 0700 `Broad Spectrum Radio` for January, 2018. James Branum says he has thrown out original plans, instead to deal with Drumpf and his s-holes; for starters, quotes at length FCC rules on profanity and obscenity. Never obscenity, but mere profanity is OK between 10 pm and 6 am local time (but how does that apply to SW stations covering multiple timezones? Didn`t think of that, did they? But BSR profanity should be OK at this hour unless you`re in the UT -10 zone or beyond!) Still quoting at 0707, when I can`t stay awake much longer, so will have to get it later via
http://broadspectrumradio.com
but site still hasn`t been updated since December as of Jan 23 at 0209. Probably WRMI will replay this episode for a few more weeks Mondays at 0700. Is/was this also on any other SW station, like WINB or WBCQ? Who knows? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PALAU. 9960, Jan 22 at 1436, delighted to hear some classical music, `La Gazza Ladra` overture by Rossini, S9+20 fading to S9, and QRMing much weaker 9955 WRMI --- not my problem anymore since WOR at 1415 Wednesdays has been canceled. This is Furusato no Kaze, 1430-1500 the only time anything is on 9960, via T8WH. Maybe played whole 10-minute piece, to conclusion at 1442 and Japanese back-announcement mentioning Rossini, but not sure how you say La Gazza Ladra in JJ. Soon some more unfamiliar classical music, 1448 interview in Japanese. What has this to do with North Korean abduxions of Japanese? but more, more! O, I get it, the Juches are like thieving magpies. No US SW station would dare to play classical music beyond incidentally, and of course LeSEA gets no credit for this done by one of its clients (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1913 monitoring: not confirmed UT Tue Jan 23 at 0030 on WBCQ, no signal audible on 9330v-CUSB. But at same time VG S9+20/30 on WRMI 7730. Next:
Tue 2030 WRMI 7780 to NE, 9455 to WNW [or #1914?]
I expect to have 1914 ready for Tue 2130 on 9455

** U S A. 9455, Jan 22 at 1447, WRMI `Viva Miami` episode still replaying the Allan Weiner visitation; not unusual for VM not to be refreshed weekly. Clear here, away from the Thieving Magpie on 9960 vs // 9955; see PALAU (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5830, Jan 22 at 0658, WTWW-1 is back on with PPPP, having been absent earlier in evening as late as 0425, and daytime from 9475 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VIETNAM [non]. 7315, Jan 23 at 0057, VOV 00-02 UT relay problems via WHRI continue: praise music fill in English, and dumps off the air at 0058:50*.. Back on for only a few seconds of music at 0102:35. By 0124 check, 7315 is back on but weaker signal, maybe backup transmitter, only S9, VOV in English; 0129 usual break filled by WHR`s ad for Voice of the Martyrs, 0130 music fill? again, 0133 YL DJ in English, now really fading down and almost out, but at 0134 I can tell it`s VOV in English with their Vietnamese accent; instead of VOV Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ZANZIBAR. 11735, Jan 22 at 2058, presumed ZBC is talking on poor signal, cut off abruptly at 2100:30* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
This report dispatched at 0340 UT January 23
