** BRAZIL. 5939.703, Feb 19 at 0740, Brazuguese aleluias barely audible aside weakened 5935 WWCR, i.e. Voz Missionária way off-frequency as usual, the same station much more easily heard around 9664.7v. But it`s not the only 5940-minus outlet; in NASWA Flashsheet, Mark Taylor also reports on 5939.6, presumed Sedaye Zindagi = IBRA Radio in Dari via UAE at 0249 Feb 11; scheduled 0230-0300 only from another perpetually off-frequency site (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1970, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 12140, Feb 18 at 1237, JBA carrier as I check for possible leapfrog of both very strong 11760 over 11950 another 190 kHz beyond; 12140 is weaker than 12300 = 2 x 6150. Something`s always wrong at RHC. At this early hour, 15140 & 15230 are JBA carriers, while 13780.0 not way-off frequency today, has built up to good level, the OSOB, and no spurs on 13 or 15 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15700, Feb 18 at 1455, CRI Plus English relay is S9+40 but modulation spikes only audible, totally unusable. Wiggle that patchcord! Does no one care about this in Habana or Beijing? Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9420, Feb 18 at 2000, `I foni tis [H]Elladas` ID from Voice of Greece, talk for a couple minutes, news? and back to eclectic music, 2012 in English ``I Believe``, 2015 into ``country and western``! S9-S6. I think it was already on a few minutes before 2000 but WRTH 2019 shows 9420 starting at 2000 on a highly variable schedule; plus 9935 ditto from 2200, but the latter not heard at all for a year or more (Glen Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 7390, Feb 19 at 1228, JBA carrier hasn`t a chance vs huge splash from 7385 WHRI, which is entitled to run between 10 and 14 UT; presumed RNZI as now unfortunately scheduled on 7390 at 08-13 and even worse, on NNW antenna only
I was remembering the previous 7 MHz frequency of RNZI, 7390, rather than the current one, 7330, altho I did not notice it there at this time. 7390 at 12-13 was probably CRI in Chinese as scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH AFRICA. 15350, Feb 19 at 1536, S3-S5 in Arabish, i.e. R. Dabanga for Sudan from FPU = Free Press Unlimited, Amsterdam, at 1529-1600 only. Not much else is propagating on 19m; this from SENTECH, Meyerton, rumored to be closing down at Marchend. // is 15550 via France, even less audible. Via Mike Cooper, here`s some new self-promotion:

Also confirmed Mon Feb 18 at 2330 on WRMI 9955, fair, but by 2355 Cuban jamming is ramping up even tho unneeded until 2415.
Also confirmed UT Tue Feb 19 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, very good but starting to fade down before 0100.

** U S A. 4980, Feb 19 at 0000, WRMI is off while 5010 continues. Checking since on Feb 13, Mark Coady, Ontario was hearing SMTV on 4980 until 0100*. I had also heard 4980 until 1200* contrary to schedule, but Feb 19 at 1159 it`s not on while 5010 IDs in Spanish. WRMI skedgrid continues to show 4980 only at 21-24 with SMTV; but 5950 SMTV at 00-01 as well as 20-21 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 17775, Mon Feb 18 at 1939, still no signal from KVOH; nor Tue Feb 19 at 1520 and 1602 (however, JBA carrier on 17780 from BBCWS Ascension extension for Nigerian elexions.) Following my notice of KVOH also AWOL on Saturday Feb 16, Ray Robinson explained to me, UT Mon Feb 18 at 0409:
``Hi, Glenn. 17775 kHz has been off the air since Friday due to the failure of a critical piece of our high voltage equipment. A replacement part was ordered, and we expect to be back on the air by mid-week. In the meantime, normal programming will still be carried on our webstream. Ray Robinson, Voice of Hope World Radio Network, Americas/Africa/Middle East, www.voiceofhope.com`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 660, Feb 19 at 1428 UT, plugs for `Adventures in Odyssey` program, access 660-KCRO via Alexa, ``Omaha`s Christian Talk``, temp minus 2. 1 kW on E-W longwire from the north, but dominant instead of KSKY 20 kW from the south. At this break anyway, did not hear any reference to FM translator or the slogan tied to that, as in NRC AM Log, ``660-AM 106.5 The Word``. Must still be arriving by skywave, as on full daytime groundwave, KCRO is barely audible under KSKY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
