Glenn Hauser logs January 27, 2018

** ANGUILLA. 6090, Jan 27 at 0614 no signal from CB; nor 11775, Jan 27 at 1522. Have they gone back into hibernation? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. ND Beacon: 362 kHz, Jan 27 at 0633, SB, from Sudbury, Ontario. Did not note it with a dash, but I suppose so being Canadian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA 347 kHz

** CUBA. 15643, 15575, 15506, 15438, 15303, 15236, 15170, 15103, 15036, Jan 27 at 1439, approx. centres of horrible RHC-FM spurblobs today, reactivated after absence yesterday while source 15370-AM continued as usual; and still with the F# above Cm continuous tone. Average intervals about 63-67 kHz, pace CHR, KBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11830 & 11850, Jan 27 at 1523, RHC parasites at S9-S7 during open carriers out of source 11840 which is S9+20. Only 11840 appears on schedules, at 12-15 to N/C/S America - meaning non-direxional? And 23-06 to Chile. Still modulating are 11760 and 9535. I usually hear 11830 & 11850 in the evenings and suspected the morning 11840 was a different transmitter, certainly different antenna (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also JAPAN [non]

** JAPAN [non]. 6165, Jan 27 at 0610, poor S9+ YL in non-Spanish, must be Arabic this semihour from NHK World as scheduled via FRANCE. This was in an RHC check, which seems to be AWOL from this frequency, not just undermodulated; still there on non // 6000 S9+20/30 undermod, 6060 louder, and 6100 S9+30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH AFRICA. 7285, Jan 27 at 0459, can-can music, i.e. ``Gaîté Parisienne``, not from France but Sonder Grense; maybe this is their rise-&-shine signal? 0501 into Afrikaans news. Unlike BBC/UAE earlier, this good 7285 signal is not perceptibly off-frequency. Has just moved up from 3320 overnight, which is always audible here, sometimes fairly well (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. ND Beacon: 347 kHz, Jan 27 at 0629, AFK, from Nebraska City NE; QRM from much stronger 350 RG, which is Gally, Oklahoma City, in red as William Hepburn says it is ``back on``; when was it off? Everybody knows where OKC is, in the middle of its state, but NE City? Directly S of Omaha halfway to Kansas, near the Missouri River; with pop. of only 7+K, it`s relatively insignificant (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) see also CANADA 362 kHz

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1914 monitoring: Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria reports: ``GERMANY, Reception of World of Radio via HLR on 6190 CUSB, Jan 27:

http://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.bg/2018/01/reception-of-world-of-radio-via-hlr-on_27.html

0730-0800 6190 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg CeEu English Sat, fair signal``

It seems Ivo never reports the next broadcast on same at 1531. I try UTwente, and hear the Chinese stations, possibly a trace of me in the mix at 1536; recheck 1558, B-B-C- chimes directly block 6190, opening Farsi(?) but off at 1600 after a mistaken transmission, leaving a weak timesignal from algo.. 

Axually, BBCWS in English is scheduled to start on 6190 at 1600 via South Africa, but I`ve never noticed it before. BBC Farsi is supposed to be on 6195 from 1600 NNW via OMAN, which is probably what I heard, and indeed there was then heavy ACI to 6190 but I did not check from where and what. From Feb 1, BBC 6195 is registered to start an hour earlier at *1500, which means more QRM for Media Network Plus and WORLD OF RADIO.

But Alan Gale in England at a better further skip distance from Göhren, reports: ``Hi Glenn, No problem hearing World of Radio on 6190 kHz CUSB this afternoon, even with the accompanying music programme in the background.. It was audible right up to 1558z, when another station joined in with its Interval Signal. Short mp3 file is attached. 73 for now, Alan``. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330v-CUSB, Jan 25-26-27 at random daytime chex, no more signs of WBCQ testing here since last heard with Brother Scare, Jan 24 at 2123 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5850, UT Sat Jan 27 at 0154, WRMI with `IBC Radio` concluding some DX news, into digital segment in MFSK32. 

This 01-02 block on 5850 continues to be unaccounted for in WRMI sked grids.. In the frequency version, XMTR 12 5850 at 01-02 is shown for only three days a week: ``System G VORW-Fri, Jazz-Sat, Xmas-Mon``, but this is Sat and it`s not jazz. The program version completely omits this frequency-hour, but does show IBC on two other Systems at same time! System D on 5950 and 11580-sic, nominally replaced by 7780; and unnamed System but color-coded as H, on 9395 & 9495. Unfortunately I do not check whether IBC is on the other four frequencies, since 5850 as lowest and on the 315 azimuth is by far the best here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9395 // 9455, Sat Jan 27 at 1528, WRMI Oldies music, but can`t hear third // 7780, unless imagination-level JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, Jan 27 at 0614, no signal from WTWW-2. Come to think of it, have not heard at all past week in random chex early and late evening, tho might have missed it. 9930 continues to be unheard when it used to be on in afternoons, including Sat Jan 27 at 1920 when `Theater Organ in the Ozarx` used to emit itself. Will it be back after 0200 UT Sun for TOITO on 5085?

5830, Jan 27 at 1527, WTWW-1 SFAW night frequency is still on at S9+20/30, checked after 9475 found vacant (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17774.985, Jan 27 at 1922, KVOH is ON! On a Saturday! Sermon in English, S9+20 and the OSOB (since 17640 MWV skips this hour). New program grid at

http://www.voiceofhope.com/schedule/kvoh_program_grid.pdf

shows 17775 now with English at 16-20 UT Saturdays including `AWR Wavescan` at 1630, everything else religious. The sked says Revised 5 Nov 2017, but surely today is the first date for the new Saturday schedule; and there is no longer any English on Thursday or Friday afternoons (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** U S A. 9265, Sat Jan 27 at 1529, WINB is already on with praise song, undermodulated S9+10. New program schedule dated Jan 21 at 

http://winb.com/schedule.htm 

shows Saturday from *1430, Sunday from *1200, weekdays from *2030, and final programs start at 0300, 0330 or 0400, unclear whether all are one quarter, one half, or full hour long with nothing to follow them (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15054.50-USB, Jan 27 at 1443, 2-way in Spanish, same guys as yesterday, today with expletive right away, `puta madre`, politely = whoreson (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15160+, Jan 27 at 1926, S4-S6 open carrier, from what? As I am measuring it a few Hz on hi side, goes off at 1928*. Maybe one of those IBB warmups-on-adjacent-frequency? But nothing sked from IBB nearby from 1930, nor anything else. Leaves a JBA carrier about 15160.22, probably local device (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs January 25-26-27, 2018

** ALBANIA [non]. 5850, Jan 25 at 2300.5, WRMI relay of R. Tirana has been reactivated, as expected, after at least two weeks of absence, VG signal as always here, better than it ever was direct. IS, theme and sign-on in English does not mention any SW, just via an internet address! Perhaps because the relay is somewhat unofficial but tolerated. 2318 in a feature about Byzantine art. 

5850, again Jan 26 at 2300.5, R. Tirana with another program they don`t acknowledge is on any SW transmitter (and is so tnx to our efforts, not the management); previewing topix Press Review and Profile later after news about domestic politix. This is daily except Sundays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, Jan 25 at 1946, WRMI poor signal, still with World Music (sounds Japanese), instead of RAE in German; also WM until at least 2100 instead of RAE Italian. At 1946, 9455 was in Oldies. While 11530, R. Herwa International, much better with an S9+10 signal.

9395 is also supposed to carry the RAE English hour from 0200, but Jan 26 it`s inaudible, while 9455 is a JBA carrier.

9395, Jan 26 chex between 19 and 21, *still* no RAE in German, Italian via WRMI, but World Music variety. If a song is in German or Italian, it`s only coincidental. See also USA: WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AUSTRALIA. 5045 and slightly stronger 5055, Jan 26 at 1140, JBA carriers from Ozy Radio and 4KZ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOUVET ISLAND [and non]. QRX for the 3Y0Z DX-pedition which hasn`t arrived yet. This map shows they were less than halfway to Bouvet from Punta Arenas, Chile, passing South Georgia on Jan 24:

https://dx-world.net/3y0z-bouvet-2018/

Since they departed PA on Jan 19, it`s unclear how they ever expected to reach BI by Jan 23. At this rate it should take another 6 days, like Jan 30-31. Original departure date of Jan 13? was delayed without notice.

Bruce Churchill, USN Ret., says on the DXLD yg, ``And that is one of the scariest places in the world to be on the water in a small boat``

Jari Savolainen, Finland, another mariner, replies, ``Well, Betanzos isn't actually "a small boat". It's not a huge passenger liner but anyway about 1400 gross tons and some 65 meters long. Has been in use since 1974 and described as fish factory/trawler/cargo ship. According to Fleetmon AIS-info, the ship has sent their ETA (estimated time of arrival) being Bouvet 2018-01-29 at 1600 UT``

Also got this from another Finn, Br Jari (OH1EB) Kulkki, Jan 26:

``Glenn, Bouvet is not active yet, still few days to go. There has been big pileups for Kosovo (Z60A) which you probably heard on 14200 kHz. The station Z60A was transmitting on 14195 and listening 5-10 up. ARRL has changed the rules and Kosovo is now added to DXCC list. What is the status of Kosovo in BC countries list? They have one MW station on 549 kHz`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 6070-, Jan 26 at 0210, JBA carrier; is CFRX off or hit by propagation disturbance? NDXC/Aoki shows only one other 6070 on air at this time, in fact 24 hours like CFRX: R. Capital in Rio de Janeiro, which of course has been dead for years, fortunately for CFRX listeners. By 0703, CFRX is reaudible with news on ``News-Talk 10-10`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15370-AM, Jan 26 at 1540 check, another blessèd day without the constellation of RHC FM spurs all over the 19m band. Bet they`re back in force in a day or two (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ETHIOPIA. 7237.085, Jan 26 at 1517, VP carrier, presumed R. Ethiopia, which varies widely in this area. Also JBA carriers presumed also long-path regular neighbors, 7205 Sudan, 7181+ & 7140 Eritrea, 7120 Somaliland (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** HAWAII. 5000, Jan 26 at 1143, WWVH with a special announcement this minute, can`t copy clearly, but seems about plans to curtail some service, marine weather? Ends with ``Aloha``, and again at 1144, repeat or part 2. 1145 the hourly propagation outlook, starting with solar flux at 70. Weak and under less weak WWV; also audible on 2500. 

On Jan 3, Mark Coady, Ont., reported to ODXA: ``According to the NIST website, WWVH on 5000 is at reduced power (2.5 vs. normal 10 kW) due to a transmitter fault`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO [and non]. 6185.017, Jan 26 at 1513, very weak signal, but I can tell it is in Spanish, which means it has to be XEPPM, on the air far earlier than supposedly scheduled from 2300 or 0000. Also others have measured it slightly off+plus. There is another weaker signal, perhaps the 15 kW China Huayi, or the 500 kW Voice of Turkey in Italian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 11975, Jan 26 at 1526, disco-beat music at S7 to S9+10, // 9810 at S9-S8. RRI is in Romanian at 1400-1557 on both from Galbeni 300 kW, 285 and 290 degrees, good enough for us (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 13710.014, Fribbath Jan 26 at 1537, BSKSA Qur`an, S9+10/20.. Not unusual for them to be slightly off-frequency, enough for pitch to stick out in 1 kHz step BFO tuning (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1790-CW, Jan 26 at 0254, another attempt to copy the test message from WH2XDE/3. It`s tough as the signal is fading up and down a lot, up only at brief spurts allowing an occasional letter, number or symbol to be copied here and there. After a considerable pause, the sequence always starts with VVV VVV (and another VVV?). Several times I get the /3, but not the full experimental call. Also WAYLAND, the Massachusetts town which is suburb on the west side of Boston. Also QSL K2ORS. SK at the end. Starts over around 0300 and 0303. It`s a little better at 0633 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1914 monitoring: confirmed Thursday January 25 after 2230.5 on WRMI 5850, VG S9+20. Not confirmed UT Fri Jan 26 at 0030 on WBCQ, 9330v-CUSB: no signal audible. Not confirmed UT Sat Jan 27 at 0030 on WBCQ, 9330v-CUSB but there is a JBA carrier, even weaker than the JBACs on 9265, 9395, 9455.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9395, Jan 25 at 2143, WRMI is not broadcasting `The Power Hour` as scheduled, rather Oldies music; 2144 ID by Bob Biermann, into VOA News by Ann Ball, but within about one and one third minutes, she is interrupted by the BB ID again, and ``All We Need is Love``, back to Oldies instead of the rest of VOA news, let alone TPH. 

9395, Jan 26 at 2100, this WRMI morphs from World Music replacing RAE relays, to join GCN network opening `The Power Hour Nation` with Mary Ellen --- in for Daniel ---, who will be back from vacation on Monday. First 5.5 minutes she vamps with plugs for their mall and what`s coming up; paranoid conspiracy-laden program underway past 2112 tune-out, but at 2158, this and // 7780 which I can now hear, are winding up an Oldies hour, 2159 BB ID, 2200 ``more music in a minute`` after own commercial, 2201 back to music. It seems that the M-F 21-23 block which is supposed to be radiating TPH is instead dumping out of it sometime during the first semihour, presumably mis-programming by mistake, and when that happens, these transmitters default to Oldies.

BTW, Richard Langley reports this to the DXLD yg about Bob Biermann as monitored Jan 21: 

``Bob Biermann's Your Weekend Show was quite interesting with the first half hour about the mechanics of the Hawaii missile alert fiasco and the second half about our use of our time and how we sometimes waste it. It was so interesting, I just had to listen to the rest of it on line! He also mentioned that he is changing his program a bit (and moving back to Florida) and also considering additional shortwave broadcasts. Virtually no evangelizing in this episode``

He had moved to a retreat in the ``mountains`` of north Georgia to take on a pastorate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5950, Jan 26 at 1212, this always weak WRMI to the south, has guy singing The Lord`s Prayer, but not the usual Protestant tune, in English, then apparently Hebrew, mentions Yeshua, cites Micah in English. Scheduled Fri 1200-1230 is Yeshua Messiah Ministry, and several other times and frequencies. This block other days of week contains DX programs, except Saturday `Trova Libre`, Cuban music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7780, Jan 26 at 1524, WRMI music is jazzy, and not // 9395 & 9455, the latter certainly Oldies. So what program is on 7780? Maybe World Music, or a different playout of Oldies? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9455 // stronger 9955, WRMI Fri Jan 26 at 2202, `Noches con Mirka` live-sounding chat, music and audience, seems to be the Xmas (or was it pre-New Year) special which consumed a sesquihour instead of usual unihour. Goes on to review what happened in 2017y, a bit stale by now. It seems that whenever there is a pre-emptive schedule change for some special, it`s likely to stick for week(s) rather than reverting to normalcy (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** VATICAN. 9660, Jan 25 at 2110, interview in Portuguese about Moçambique. VR direct from SMG, 100 kW at 234 degrees to CIRAF 46W, which means the west coast of West Africa, where the only possible targets would be Cabo Verde & Guiné-Bissau; but also good for Brasil just beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 774, Jan 26 at 1130, JBA carrier on R75 with E/W longwire, so no DF; could be Australia or Japan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1710, Jan 26 at 1135 UT, soft strumming music I have heard here before, from Retén lo que Tienes, Bâton Rouge LA? Now there is a second weaker station with vocal music, no doubt both pirates, but what is the other one? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13564.3-CW, Jan 26 at 1533, beacon callsign RF sent continuously with hardly any pause between repeats. Compared to 13564.0, my keyboard puts it at F-natural above C-middle, i.e. 349 Hz per this reference:

http://pages.mtu.edu/~suits/notefreqs.html

while LWCA list puts it on 13564.33, which would be closer to E-natural. Probably cannot expect that much precision, especially with differing tables of exact music pitch frequencies. Unknown location, but grid EM96 per LWCA list. This time no competition from K6FRC on 13565+, but from wideband CODAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15054.50-USB, Jan 26 at 1542, 2-way in colloquial Spanish; stronger one has severe background noise (from engine?) playing havoc with his vox. Weaker one is clear. Among the words I can recognize are: tiroteo, vuelo, cambio, madre, 2205, viento tras vientos, mareados (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Propagation News – 28 January 2018

News last week that the Republic of Kosovo (Z6) has been added to the DXCC list of current entities meant that QSOs with the new prefix were in demand. With Z60A on the air from Pristina until 4 February, there has been a sudden interest in propagation paths to the country! VOACAP Online shows that Z60A should be a fairly easy catch from the UK propagation-wise, although the massive pile-ups are causing problems. At around 2,000km from central UK, 30, 20 and 17 metres are the favourite bands to contact Z6 during daytime, with a 90 to 100 percent probability of a propagation path at times. This falls to 70 to 80 percent on 15 metres. At night, 80 and 40m come into their own, with again a more than 90 percent chance of a good path.These all depend upon having settled geomagnetic conditions, which were once again badly affected last week by the solar wind from a coronal hole on the Sun.

The K-index rose to four on Wednesday evening, as a result of the Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) pointing south, enabling the solar wind to more easily couple with the Earth’s magnetic field. Next week NOAA forecasts that the solar flux index will be in the range 67-70 and we may expect more unsettled geomagnetic conditions on Sunday, the 28th. The rest of the week is predicted to be more settled.

At the moment, daytime maximum usable frequencies over a 3,000km path are most reliable on 20 metres, with occasional openings on 17 and 15 metres.

VHF and up:

The windy weather of recent days caused the really poor tropo conditions during last week’s SHF UK activity contest, but it is probably behind us for a while. A mild southwesterly flow from the Atlantic can sometimes provide enhanced tropo conditions, especially if it is accompanied by a region of high pressure nearby, over the continent. This is a distinct possibility later this weekend as high pressure builds across France and into Germany. The slightly ‘lifted’ conditions, chiefly in the south, developing over this weekend will probably last until a cold front arrives on Monday night.

The mid-week period sees low pressure to the east of Britain with a colder northerly flow and a return of flatter conditions, although there could be some rain scatter to the east over the North Sea on the microwave bands.

The last part of the week is split between high pressure building again over southern areas towards next weekend, and other models keeping the colder showery northerly option.

Random meteor rates are low this time of year and there are no showers due until the Lyrids shower at the end of April.

The Moon is approaching perigee and is its closest to Earth on Tuesday. Its declination reaches maximum on Monday, so there should be good EME conditions all this week.

** ALBANIA [non]. Christian, Radio Tirana English has not been appearing on WRMI 5850 at 2300, as had been scheduled. Apparently they are not getting the files. If you are still the intermediary for this arrangement, I hope you can correct it. 73, (Glenn Hauser to Christian Milling, Jan 24 via DXLD)

Hi Glenn, Radio Tirana changed their streaming URL without notifying anybody. I've corrected it, so tonite there should be a new episode ready for playout. 73, (Christian Milling, shortwaveservice.com, Germany, Jan 25, via DXLD)

** ANGUILLA. 6090, Jan 25 at 0251, PMS is on again; 11775, Jan 25 at 1453, off again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOUVET ISLAND [non]. 7024-7025, Jan 25 at 0648, CW pileup sending callsigns only every few seconds, suspected trying to reach 3Y0Z DX-pedition, nominally on 7023. Nothing in LSB around 7082. Of course there could be other DX-peditions now I have not researched.

It looks like they were still enroute to Bouvet as of Jan 24, so the pileups heard may have been trying to work their maritime mobile:

``January 24, 2018: Sunny, clear skies this morning provided a very nice view, as we passed the snowy peaks of the South Georgia Islands 20 miles to the south of us. Spectacular! – Hal, W8HC

Our first iceberg was sighted today about 100 miles southeast of South Georgia.

Incoming signals to 3G9A/MM are generally weak. This is due to our maritime mobile antennas and their location. Our on-island antennas will be much, much better! – Ralph, KØIR``

Own website refers to here to ``follow us``:

The last three entries are:

``VK2HR 3Y0Z 14002.5 [AN-002] Tnx Qso New One 0558z 24 Jan

  FM5AN 3Y0Z 14000   [AN-002] Good travel...we are ready! 1549z 23 Jan

  YL2HX 3Y0Z  3502   [AN-002] Heard in E31A pileup 2311z 20 Jan``

** CANADA. 1610, Jan 25 at 0701 UT, YL news in Brazuguese, surely CHHA Toronto, Voces Latinas, tho their 2-year-old program sked sorely needs updating, as it just shows `All Night Music` at 06-11 UT Mon-Fri (and blank on weekends --- off the air? I doubt it)

http://chha1610am.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/PostCard-CHHA-1610AM-2016.jpg

And please explain how six hours of Punjabi each week were Latinas in any sense whatsoever (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 11710 // 11875, Jan 25 at 0655, pop music and Chinese announcements, SSOBs. Must have a pipeline from Nanning, scheduled site for both, 100 kW each at 200 degrees, 11710 at 06-08 and 11875 at 07-08 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15033, 15101, 15168, 15236, 15303, 15438, 15504, 15570, 15637, Jan 25 at 1405, approx. centers of today`s RHC-FM spurblobs with constant tone.. RHC audio readable in FM mode on the ones closer to source 15370-AM. At least 15236 is far enough from RHC 15230-AM today not to QRM it; roughly 67.5 kHz intervals. But woe to CHR Trenton Military 15034-USB and anyone trying to access it. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** PUERTO RICO. 14245-USB, Jan 25 at 1358, after drawing a blank on Bouvet 14185+, I find KP4FL trying to QRT but keeps getting called by other PRs, first one apparently someone he was glad to resume contact with, post-María. Rather chaotic with many talkovers. 20m is not a good band for local contacts, unless very close by groundwave, so suspect some of them are exiled, e.g. la Florida mentioned, also Caguas PR. 

Per ARRL/FCC lookup, KP4FL is: 

LORENZINI, GIOVANNI, KP4FL

URB GRAN VISTA 1 CALLE ARBOLEDA 211

GURABO, PR 00778

But no Italian accent I could make out. The others in rapid colloquial Spanish I could not follow, but no callsigns ever heard. Only KP4FL once gave his, fonetikaly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

417, Jan 25 at 0707, HHG, Huntington IN

388, Jan 25 at 0709, GLY, Clinton-Golden Valley MO (~67 mi SE of KC)

** U S A. 1670, Jan 25 at 1328 UT, nulling dominant sports talk from WOZN Madison WI, I hear sermon in Spanish, 1330 UT music, 1337 more Spanish. Don`t see how this could be anything but KHPY Moreno Valley CA, only 1670 SS listed in NRC-AM Log, and with religious format. Moreno Valley is just east of Riverside, population almost 200K, one of the largest cities we`ve never heard of in any other context. 

1670, at 1330 UT, I also hear at least a few notes of ``The Star Spangled Banner``, unseems from either of the above. But what third station would be playing it, presumably around local sunrise, and audible? There are only two other Unitedstatesians on 1670, Redding CA and Dry Branch (Macon) GA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
