** CUBA. 1141 kHz, Jan 19 at 0548 UT, JBA carrier hetting 1140,
presumed Cuban, not heard lately until now, and soon inaudible again.
Not a TA frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9710, Jan 19 at 0543, S9+10/20 of deadair from RHC, the SSOB.
Also 11760, Jan 19 at 0544, S9+10 of deadair, SSOB. SAWA (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11880, Jan 19 at 2003, RHC S9/+10 of dead air in English;
also 15140 S9/+5 dead air except for windhowl. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 1060 kHz, Jan 19 at 0505 UT, Spanish dominates, ad for
Barracuda, prices in pesos, or an infomercial? Keeps on going about
that. Can`t be R. Educación which is non-commercial, but to be sure,
not // 6185. Loops NNW/SSE. Fades after 0510, music by 0517. 0601
choral Mex NA, again not on 6185. The only other 1060 Mex is: XERDO
Matamoros, Tams., 7/2.5 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. Local Enid receiver mixing products noted for the record,
not expecting anyone to quote, Jan 19 at 0532 UT: 2350 = 960+1390;
3030 = 1640+1390; but nothing on 2600 = 1640 + 960 nor other possible
combos (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 293 MCW kHz, Jan 19 at 0721, FBY, ND beacon at FairBurY NE,
mixing with much weaker TOR, TORrington WY (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9455 and ALL other WRMI frequencies are OFF, January 18 at
2330. On FB at 2330 Jan 18: ``WRMI Radio Miami International 1h · 2200
UTC Sunday January 18: In case you are not able to hear WRMI at the
moment, we have a power outage, probably due to the cold weather in
our area. Please stand by. We'll be back as soon as electrical power
is restored. Our live stream may be back sooner.``
``If you take a look at: https://www.fplmaps.com/
and type in Okeechobee there are 2 outages --- est time back 8 ET or
1045 ET. At 0030 carriers are up but no programming. Tony Pavick``
Most carriers up around 0100 but no modulation: into Georgia SDR at
0057, carrier appears to jump around, 7783, 7778, etc., or is that
only the SDR?? At 0101 open carriers only: 5850 S9+45, 5950 S9+25/30,
9395 s9+20/25, 9455 S9+30/35, 9955 S9/+10; no 15770 or 17790. By about
0106, 5850 is off again and presumably the others. All are still off
at 0121. By 0200, 5850 is back on; starting at 0218 Japanese song
`Sukiyaki` plays, while 9395 has dead air. Don`t know exactly when but
later in evening at 0541 seems back to normal on 5850, 7570, 7730,
7780, 9395. It must be quite a chore to restart all those transmitters
with scheduled programming in progress (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7505, Jan 19 at 0755, S5/S9 JBM in English, presumed WRNO
extended. I thought it was not on a couple hours earlier? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 780, Jan 19 at 0501 UT, WBBM has a strange whine, not a pure
tone, on USB only. This is frequently the case late at night. Seems to
be self-induced rather than QRM. At 0740, *StarDate* succeeds, but
it`s yesterday`s episode already heard on another station. UT Jan 18,
WBBM had blown right past 0740 with no StarDate (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 880, Jan 19 at 0503 UT, MexMx dominates, thought maybe WIJR
Highland IL, 160 watts at night - but still loops on the PL-660 NW/SE,
so KJOZ Conroe TX again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1180, Jan 19 at 0511 UT, rock, ID as ``--- --- 1180`` - two
words of one syllable each, presumably ``Yacht Rock``, the strange new
name for KZOT Bellevue NE = Omaha, ex- sports format. R. Martí &
multiple Rebelde jammers are not much of a factor here, rather IBOC
noise peaking 1183 from KOTV 1170 Tulsa - but that not always on? or a
problem (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1260, Jan 19 at 0513 UT, Spanish non-ID as ``12-60 AM``;
0552 romantic music; 0601 ``101.9 y 1260, somos ----?``, in QRM. The
FM clinches it as KTAE Elgin TX, U1 1000/144 watts, address in Austin,
named Magia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1530 kHz, Jan 19 at 0515 UT, Spanish, ``104.9 y 95.1``, so
it`s KZNX Creedmoor TX, near Austin, never mind the inconsequential AM
frequency, U2 10000/220 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 810.60, Jan 19 at 0609, JBA carrier hetting 810.00 WHB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
This report dispatched at 2018 UT January 19
UNIDENTIFIED. 1190, Jan 19 at 0557 UT, Spanish, neurological advice,
PSA or infomercial? Probably usual XEPZ Juárez (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
