** CUBA. 5040, Jan 7 at 0721, RHC English still on here with squeal, // 6060 stronger than 6145. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 5040 needs to get out of way for Vanuatu from 0630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13629 & 13770 approx., Jan 7 at 1509, spurblobs from 13700-AM, 70-71 kHz displaced. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11880 & 15140 & 15370, Jan 7 at 2108, all three RHC in choking Arabic today. You never know what combo of scheduled or non-scheduled languages will occupy the 2100 semihour. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6145, Jan 8 at 0457, RHC English is just barely modulated while only // 6000 is suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7470, Jan 8 at 0300, JBA carrier fades up enough to recognize Station YHWH sermon by anti-Christ pirate. At S8-S9 still tough copy. Was also a JBA carrier on 7480 where instead he was caught a few nights ago by Ron Howard, so check both (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 6125, Jan 8 at 0445, S9+10 of dead air; by 0447 some JBM music; 0452 headline in English from VOT, off by 0454*. Something`s always wrong at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 2097.3-CW, Jan 7 at 0728 the single-letter beacon A is back! ID every dekasecond. Also Jan 8 at 0220. Have included this in bandscans despite last reported by Steve Zimmerman, WI on Aug 20. It was so regular that I did not always log it but noted Oct 11 that it was no longer to be heard. Last time I did log it was August 3. Originally thought to be in Quartzsite AZ, but then denied to be there, yet presumably somewhere in SW USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5850, Jan 8 at 0144, WRMI playing familiar World Music including Cayman holiday, mbira on VG signal // weaker 5010, since there are now a number of blank fields on the System F schedule such as today 0130-0300 on #12 5850 and #14 5010. We don`t see World Music by name deliberately anywhere on the sked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5935, Jan 8 at 0458, the DGS/PMS/TUN WWCR transmitter is AWOL, no trace, while the other three are inbooming: 5890 S9+30 not quite signed off yet; 4840 S9+30, 3215 S9+20. Furthermore, 5970 WEWN Spanish is S9+10/20 about the same distance and nominal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VIETNAM [non]. 7315, Jan 8 at 0140, No VOV in Vietnamese, as WHRI is OFF. Back on at 0256 with WHRI own gospel-huxtering at S9+20. Wonder if the relay contract ran out at yearend? Had not noticed or checked for it yet this year (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9961.5-USB, Jan 7 at 1515, 2-way in Spanish, very poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
