 ** CANADA. 990, Aug 19 at 0657 UT, item from NHK World, Japan; 0702 CBC News Washington correspondent; weak & tough copy vs QRM but evidently CBW Winnipeg underpowered (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 1040 kHz, Aug 19 at 0654, whooper under WHO and no others at this time, not even 870 under WWL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. ``As a follow up to my post about RHC relaying Cuban TV audio on 6000 khz once again last night, I have posted an air check of 60 minutes from 0210 UT forward. http://popshopradio.ca/20250818_0210_UT_6000_khz_Cuba_R_Habana_Cuba_(non)_TV_audio.mp4 Once again I believe this is from their channel Multivision, although what I heard doesn't seem to exactly match up with their program Schedule. https://www.tvcubana.icrt.cu/cartelera-de-la-tv-cubana/multivision I noticed that many of the comments to the channel at the web page seem to be complaining about no audio or audio and video being out of sync. Nonetheless this channel seems to be one of the most popular in Cuba, possibly because it rebroadcasts TV series and movies from the United States. One has to wonder why this would be on shortwave in place of regular programming from RHC. I'm not sure if this is also being heard on medium wave. Is it possible that it is actually being used to backfill in places where people are complaining about having no audio on the TV signal. Could it be that RHC has absolutely no new programs available. and are back filling with this audio just to keep the transmitters up and going. Could it be that the link between the RHC studios and the transmitter site at Quivicán/Titan operator just simply likes Multivision. No matter what, just something to document for the history of Radio Cuba. Tony Pavick, Hope BC`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 1640 kHz, Aug 19 at 0646 UT, local KZLS Enid is OFF! See U S A for what else I heard; by 1530 UT next check, KZLS back on running 2 seconds behind // 1390 KCRC with stupid sports talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

S9+40/45, ``Ancient Word Radio`` with Bob Biermann, gospel music; also plus/minus 12.8 kHz JBA parasitic spur carriers but no splash or other spurs. 5920 is also on as usual overnight with TOMBS. But is 5085 going to remain all-night too? Had been closing at 0300* except UT Sat when trying to play WOR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7570, Aug 19 at 0630, this WRMI is OFF, contrary to schedule. Also anomalous, 7780 is stronger than 7730. This hour, all are supposed to be on System E with `Classic Redneck Radio`, along with 5800, 5850, 5950, 9455, 9955 which are on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 780, Aug 19 at 0640 UT, WBBM continues with news, traffic and weather, skipping `StarDate` at what had been a reliable time for it. Canceled, moved or an anomaly? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1470, Aug 19 at 0648 UT mentions 102.7 FM. New NRC AM Log shows the only match is KDHN Dimmitt TX, U4 500/149 watts. WTFDA FMDB agrees, K274DG. Dimmitt is SW of Amarillo between Hereford & Earth (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1640 kHz, Aug 19 at 0646 UT, local KZLS Enid is OFF, audiblizing instead ``Relevant Radio`` which is WSJP Sussex WI = Milwaukee market. After all these years, why is the X-band still so sparsely populated? Only 5 stations total in USA on 1640. Could not many more be accommodated on the original plan of U1 10/1 kW? Meanwhile, many `regional` channels are crammed, not just graveyards (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1320 kHz, Aug 19 at 0651 UT, repeatedly mentioning WLS.com for tickets to something, but not // 890. I guess a show originating there? In case it need to be near Chicago, suspects are: IL, Kankakee WKAN; WI, Wisconsin Rapids WFHR; MI Lansing & Marquette; none in IN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1431 & 1469 kHz, Aug 19 at 0644 UT, again the JBA carriers hetting 1430 & 1470 with 1-kHz pitch, suspected spurs out of some 1450 station exactly halfway between them. I`ve had zero replies to my request for local monitoring in order to locate source. I`m curious: has anyone even tried, without finding any?
