942 CUBA Radio Progreso, unknown location; 0024-0027 15 Jan., still
off-frequency, good and parallel 640, et. al.
950 CUBA Radio Reloj, Pastora, Ciudad de la Habana;1140/1330+ 16 Jan.,
appears to be the source of the tight, rapid warbling. Noted at 1140+, and
still there well after sunrise. Audio otherwise clear. On another note:
despite a recent report elsewhere claiming Reloj runs chimes in place of the
Morse "R-R" on Sundays, this is not always the case. Occasionally (such as
today), they choose not to, or forget to flip to chimes... or do so later in
the day as per the presumed direction of El Jefe de Campanillas. This has
been the case forever.
1090 MEXICO XEMCA 1090, Pánuco, Veracruz; 1220-1231 15 Jan., XE accordions,
M canned "XEMCA Mil-Noventa" over music at 1228. Good.
1190 MEXICO XECT Morena, Monterrey, Nuevo Laredo; 1213-1220 15 Jan., fading
up over the unID classical station, w/ commercials for stores in Monterrey
followed by M canned "Moreno en Monterrey" at 1214, into SP love ballads
(not the usual XE fare, for once).
1190 UNIDENTIFIED 1208-1220 15 Jan., continuous classical piano solo, not
parallel Musical Nacional on 590, or anything audible on 1200, 1210, 1220 or
1230 from Cuba. Good at first, then faded down with XECT taking over
mostly.
1410 ALABAMA WIQR, Prattville; 0004-0012 15 Jan., spots for Montgomery-area
and "Central Alabama" stores, auto dealerships till 0007, then back to the
"Jim Rambo Radio Show" (or something like that). Good.
1560 SOUTH CAROLINA WAGL, Lancaster; 2225-2248 14 Jan., booming in w/ M
canned "This is 50,000 watts... from Charlotte to Columbia... WAGL..." and
into a string of 50's/60's pop songs ("Tina Marie," "She Was Only 16," "Be
Bop-A-Lula"), A little later, this was in the mud and the usual pileup of
hets were present.
1560 UNIDENTIFIED 1203-1215 16 Jan., nonstop Muzak marimbas. Not
Enciclopedia (which I'm not tracing on any listed channels of late), as the
tracks were nonstop, i.e., no female announcer between as is the practice
with Enciclopedia. Carrier on at 1210 atop the marimbas, followed by WAGL
s/on at 1215, effectively killing any more listening. Seemed to be a weak
XE in the mix as well with norteñas.
1670 USA unidentified; 1220-1244 16 Jan., yet another asleep-at-the-board
operation under the Georgia station. Continuous approximately ~800 Hz tone
for six seconds followed by M "CBS Radio Network, channel ?? [not copiable]"
open circuit satellite loop. Fair.
6045 MEXICO XEXQ Radio Universidad, San Luis Potosí, 1320+ 16 Jan., good in
local hash w/ nonstop classical orchestration, no announcements. Presumed
the one as per H. Johnson and B. Wilkner logs. Been a long time since I've
heard this one.
9525.88 INDONESIA Voice of Indonesia, Cimanggis, Jawa; 1310-1400* 16 Jan.,
very good w/ Indo M&W between Indo pop vocals, "Radio Republik Indonesia" Id
1357 by same W over music bed, then orchestral song (anthem?) to 1400 and
plug pulled. No 11785 and 15150 channels untraced.
10,000 NEW MEXICO "Yosemite Sam" 1235+ 16 Jan. As per D. Crawford tip,
noted weak and apparently truncated (all I could hear was "Varmint!") also
spaced far apart, weak under WWV. No trace of 5 or 20 MHz at this time,
where it is also reported to have reactivated at new frequencies. Seems
like a suicidal set of channels to select.
20000 NEW MEXICO "Yosemite Sam" 1447-1645+ 16 Jan., even better here -- very
strong under WWV with the brief data burst followed by "Varmint!" every
40-ish seconds cycle.
