Glenn Hauser logs September 27, 2019

** CUBA. 9620-9660 approx., Sept 27 at 1326 range of buzznoise out of 9640 transmitter which itself exhibits some humbuzz rather than clear modulation. Something`s always wrong at RHC. But today no 13 MHz FM service (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9490, Sept 27 at 1327, pulse jamming vs nothing, far outside the Radio República hours of 01-05. Tough luck, many other users of 9490 including CRI in Bengali right now; also at various hours: AWR Armenia, BVB via Germany, Bulgaria; NHK via Germany, Tibet, Romania, Taiwan, VOA via Thailand, Kuwait, São Tomé, UAE, Ascension. Something`s always wrong at the incompetent DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5129.976, Sept 27 at 0230, WBCQ now off-frequency-minus, but closer after quite a spell circa 5130.38v. Can`t read the programming, but scheduled UT Fridays 0200-0300 is Radio for Peace International, i.e. in French; a new tongue for WBCQ? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505v, Sept 27 at 0236, WRNO is OFF; come to think of it, have not heard in some time altho I have not been seeking it nightly during the 01-04 UT window. Walt Salmaniw says it`s been a week or two. So what`s wrong? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 860, Sept 27 at 1312? UT, tune across Pittsburg KS` KKOW ID ``and 97.5 in Joplin`` MO, item to add to the NRC AM Log which shows no FM. Per WTFDA FM Database, that`s K248DR, 250 watt translator, ex-K258BF on 105.7. It has no other FM relays of KKOW, not even in Pittsburg itself (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1160, Sept 27 at 1253 UT, Oom-pah Mexican music is dominant, but there is only one XE left on 1160, way off in BC. 1254 announcement mentions ``La Doble K``, so slogan ID? Searching on that leads no closer than to Lima, Perú. There are no Unitedstatesian 1160s with KK in their calls. Among US SS stations, this is certainly KCTO Cleveland MO (KC market), but all listings and own website call it ``La Mega``, nothing about double-K. 1256 fades and I tune elsewhere; back to 1160 at 1300 it`s faded back up with more Mex music so maybe I missed real ID. KSL is hardly a factor, as usual seeming weakened. Belatedly I try to DF it, and NE/SW seems to fit.  Soon a SAH develops of 72/minute = 1.2 Hz, losing out to religion in English, perhaps KRDY San Antonio altho listed as TLK, or a late remnant of WYLL Chicago (Glenn Hauser, OK,, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1210, Sept 27 at 0559 UT, rapid multi-station ID for the Information Station group, including WJNL, and 0600 WJML News; so Kingsley MI *50 kW daytimer is still cheating* as first noted here over two sesquimonths ago --- obviously no one else cares, not even the legal 1210 stations at night. I`m not aiming the DX-398 toward it, just dominating KGYN et al., on the E-W longwire, at a spur-of-the-moment check; and BTW at this time it`s much better than 1200 WOAI! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7457-USB, Sept 27 at 1322, MARS net 4TX2 with NCS AFA4WP arranging relays in rollcall. No results searching for that call, but we know it`s AF MARS region 4, and maybe TX refer to Texas (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
