** CANADA. 223 kHz, Feb 15 at 0714 UT, YYW and dash, NDB from Armstrong, Ontario, north of Thunder Bay, making definite my log of Feb 11 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 6070, Feb 15 at 0607, no signal from CFRX, off? No signal either from 7850-CUSB CHU, but 3330-CUSB is very good. Abnormally low MUF? By 0710 I have a JBA carrier on 6070 --- maybe Germany, not Jayapura or Vatican. In HFCC you`d never know CFRX exists (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [non?]. 11765, Feb 15 at 1525, Chinese talk and pop music, S9+10, stronger than neighbor 11760 RHC. RFA is scheduled this hour only, 250 kW, 70 degrees from KUWAIT, but it`s jammed and now I`m unsure whether it was CNR1. But more likely as only one station audible; 11745 & 11860 Saudi Arabia signals were much weaker (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15509, 15438, 15301, 15232, 15163, 15093, 15023, Feb 15 at 1516, very approx. spurblobs out of RHC 15370-AM. Even the closer ones are not demodulating clearly in FM tuning, and the further ones are quite weak. But the F# tone is a dead giveaway. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9330.274v-CUSB, Feb 15 at 0009, Brother Scare`s moanin`-`n`-groanin` hour is running on WBCQ very poor, // much stronger 5124.83-AM. Fortunately, 9330 interrupted at 0029.5 for ID and WORLD OF RADIO.
9330.4-CUSB, Feb 15 at 1528, BS is very poor here from WBCQ; also on fair 9395 WRMI and bigsig 9980 WWCR. So the Overkiller is back in business, i.e. 9980 only would be sufficient; but the otherstations are certainly not going to tell him that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1790-CW, Feb 15 at 0615, marker from that experimental station in Wayland, Massachusetts, VVV VVV DE WH2XDE/3. Quite readable at peaks, but deep fades make it hard to copy complete message. Ends with S K, not SK runtogether, and long pause before repeating. I was trying to time that but it had faded out in the meantime (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1917 monitoring: confirmed UT Thursday February 15 at 0030 on WBCQ 9330.274v-CUSB, poor S4-S6. Brother Scare was running right up until 0029.5 cut to WBCQ ID, cut to WBCQ promo, 0030.0 cut to WOR. So it appears, as of today, WBCQ still intends to carry WOR at this time on this frequency, while most of the rest of the day is devoted to TOM. Next:

** U S A. 5830, Feb 15 at 0708, WTWW-1 is on but poor S3-S5, and seems JBM, almostly dead air. About the same signal level from neighbor 5890 WWCR but clearly modulated with BS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1130, Feb 15 at 1534 UT, KLEY Wellington KS is still out of order: carrier cuts off and on, but continuous talk modulation can more or less be followed as the cuts are now so rapid; not that anyone would put up with it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA LW carrier search, Feb 15 at 0540 UT: 153?, 162, 171, 180, 189?, 198, 216(2 including CLB beacon), 252. Preamps of the R75 off.
Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Feb 15 at 0542 UT: I`m starting at 1215, downward: 1215*, 1152, 1125, 1116, 1053, 1044*, 1026, 999, 972, 936, 909, 882, 873, 855, 846, 783, 774(2), 747, 738, 729, 711, 702, 693*, 666(2), 639(2), 621, 612*, 585, 576, 558(2), 549, 531(2).
From 0546 upward: 1215*, 1242, 1296, 1305, 1332, 1341, 1413, 1422, 1512, 1521, 1575, 1584.
At 0558 I switch to the NRD-545, and can hear many of these carriers, but certainly no better. Continuously reduceable bandwidth and passband tuning do not audiblize any modulation against the heavy North American ACI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
