** ANGUILLA. 6090, Feb 3 at 0143, no signal from CB; and I believe 11775 was not
heard either during random daytime chex Feb 2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** BONAIRE [and non]. 800, Feb 3 at 0126 UT, nulling KQCV OKC
from the SSE, I would normally hear CKLW, but even at that angle, Spanish is
atop it, mentions La Habana and dios, so likely PJB. XEROK originally would be
dominant, but has receded into QRP and hardly hear it any more --- maybe around
sunrise. SAH of about 40/minute = 0.67 Hz, not clear between which two of the
three or four. MW Offset list

Plenty of other LA stations now must cope with the superpower Bonairean:
WRTH shows 7 other Mexicans on 800; also one each: Costa Rica, Dominican
Republic, Honduras (2), Nicaragua, Panamá, El Salvador. There are also
Colombians, Ecuadorians, deeper South Americans, but no Venezuelans (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 13670, Feb 3 at 1352, RHC, a
rather obscure frequency and not an outstanding one, // -2.000 MHz much stronger
11670, which now serves as fulcrum for leapfrog mixing product of 11950 landing
on 11390 barely audible, and in reverse likewise on 12230 at 280 kHz
intervals.
15033, 15100, 15167, 15234, 15302, 15438, Feb 3 at 1507,
approx. centers of RHC-FM spurblobs out of 15370-AM, about 67.5 kHz intervals,
all with F# tone, but the next one up, 15506 is much weaker (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FINLAND [and non]. 6170, Sat Feb 3 at 0140, not
even a JBA carrier from Scandinavian Weekend Radio, supposed to be on now with
its monthly broadcast. At least it is a clear frequency, unlike 5980 when they
allegedly change to it. // 11690 not expected either, and 25mb is almost dead
except for weak 11520 WEWN; how is 49mb propagation? 6130 RRI is S9+30 talking
about golf; 6180 has some Spanish, which is Iran at 0020-0320; I hope no one is
mistaking that for Brasil in Portuguese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** IRAN. 11675, Feb 3 at 1358, S9-S6, YL in Russian keeps talking
thru hourtop 1402+ and fading. That`s because it`s hourbottom for VIRI at
1320-1420, 500 kW, 322 degrees from Sirjan, so carrying on well to far America
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also FINLAND [and non]
**
NORTH AMERICA. unID, 6940-USB, Feb 3 at 0146, ``Pretty Woman`` at S9+10, but
interrupted, cut off air at 0148*. I would have guessed Wolverine Radio, and
earlier in the 0100 hour no pirates were audible. NO logs of this in HFU, so
probably only briefly on air (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
SERBIA. 14186.9-USB, Feb 3 at 1510, YT1A working simplex in contest, 59/28s to
contacts. QRZ.com page with his grandkids and tennas:
YT1A Serbia flag
Serbia
Vladan Curlic
Cerska 14
36000 Kraljevo
PAK:561126
Serbia
There`s a hook over the first C of Curlic; is that
Romanized Serbian, or Croatian? Why not re-spell it Churlitz if non-Cyrillic?
Of course, I was looking for Bouvet; still nothing, nor pileups just
above 14187. Their website has no update since last one I quoted over 48 hours
ago, not yet landed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and

by me, Sat Feb 3 at 1531 on HLR 6190-CUSB, via UTwente SDR, but just barely,
losing under Chinese CCI. A few minutes earlier, `Media Network` Minus --- no
prop from me --- was still readable. By 1557, no WOR detectable at all. At least
no heavy ACI from 6195 BBC as registered from 1500 effective Feb 1, but by 1559

** U S A. 5130.82, UT Sat Feb 3 at 0111, WBCQ with
`Allan Weiner Worldwide`, 30 second delay behind 7489.90v, very poor, and was
not on at 0100 when first checked. Latter is S8-S9, helped with ECSS. From
Deland of Fla, rather interesting different topic for a change, long monolog
about his experiences in the searchlight business --- with huge 5-foot mirrors,
rented out for attracting attention to nighttime events, but something for which
there is no longer much demand. Explains the technical aspects of these devices.
Original purpose of this military surplus equipment was anti-aircraft tracking
in early WWII, before radar. Finally takes call from Norm at 0139; Norm seems to
be the main/only caller these days.
Here`s John Carver`s report on same:
``Listening on 7490 this evening as it's coming in for some reason tonight. Show
started about thirty seconds late after some dead air. Allan and Angela in the
studio in FLA. Today they went to a surplus store looking for parts for a
searchlight that Allan is working on. A few deep fades on 7490. Talk about his
experience with and fascination with searchlights. Moved to 5130 at 0130 as 7490
was getting difficult to listen to and Allan is still talking about
searchlights. Signal on 5130 is not much better. Talk eventually moves to the
expected lifetime of new radios and the electronics in new cars. First phone
call at 0140 from Mr. Transistor, Norm. Phone call lasted until 0155. Time to
read one email and partially read another before the closing prayer. Show was
off the air at 0200. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 9395, Sat Feb 3 at 1414, tune-in to WRMI with VOA News
in progress, mid-ID, and allowed to complete at 1417, back to Oldies. // 7780
JBA; both instead of `Power Hour` replay on weekdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, Feb 3 at 1700, JBA carrier from
presumed KVOH, now scheduled Saturdays in English from 1600; and `Wavescan`
would have been at 1630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also
ZAMBIA
** ZAMBIA. 13680, Sat Feb 3 at 1344, really wild jazz stands out,
S4-S6; 1346 announced as Oscar Peterson et al., and right into Jesus stuff. It`s
Pat Conrad`s `Jazz Session`, which used to be on KVOH 9975, an excuse to
proselytize; does he avoid playing non-Christian jazz artists? Must be plenty of
Jews, who might not appreciate the juxtaposition. 1349 Voice of Hope contact
info including California PO Box. Yes, now on the just updated Jan 29
