Darnit!!! I am so close to DXin'g myself on Thursday February 13th! I could
hear classic country music on 1350khz, just enough to match it to the
stream of KDIO 1350 Ortonville, MN with 38 Watts at 535 miles (My QTH is
Laramie, WY) but it's not nearly good enough to consider a logging.. Had
some music for several minutes that faded out before I did my talk break
and kinda sorta faded up again after the break is over, with more music

(I'm on KDIO and quite a few other stations overnight 12am to 6am
eastern/11pm to 5am central, etc.. AM's include WTCH 960, WTBC 1230, KGNO
1370 and WFLW 1360)

Correcting the date on this one, Feb 14, not 13; fixed:

UNIDENTIFIED. 11860, Feb 14 at 0113, music JBM at S5-S7, and not //
RHC 11850 which puts out spurs on 11840 & 11860. Could it be Saudi`s
Republic of Yemen Radio which I have not heard clearly in over a year?
Thanks to the Cuban radio war in the daytime. Aoki says Yemenish does
not start until *0200; EiBi *0300. Anything else? CRI Nepali service
not until *0130. Or could it really start at 0115, due to Nepal`s
wacko +5:45 timezone? BTW I can`t help but wonder if timezone
confusion has led to any Everest fatalities among all the visiting
foreigners (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. Bedtime beacon bandscan concentrating on less- or
never-heard ones, Feb 13 at 0711-0719 UT finds these from four
provinces:

392-MCW kHz, dash and ML, 500 watts from La Malbaie - Charlevoix QC

385-MCW kHz, dash and QV, 100 watts from Yorkton, Saskatchewan

355-MCW kHz, dash and YWP, 200 watts from Webequie, Ontario. Where`s
that, and how is it pronounced? http://www.webequie.ca/

``Webequie is a growing Ojibway community located on the northern
peninsula of Eastwood Island on Winisk Lake, 540 km north of the city
of Thunder Bay. The 850+ community members originate from all over
Northwestern Ontario, and enjoy a life that embraces traditional
cultural practices. Surrounded by Winisk River Provincial Park,
Webequie provides tourists a pristine natural landscape with some of
the best fishing and hunting in Northern Ontario``

353-MCW kHz, dash and PG, 25 watts from Portage-la-Prairie, Manitoba;
mixing with IN and LI, the confusing MN/AR overlapping pair

340-MCW kHz, dash and YY, 500 watts from Mont-Joli, Quebec
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5040, Feb 13 at 0646, RHC still in Spanish instead of
English, and suptorted altho S9+30; also with a big hum. Wiggle that
patchcord. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 7405, Feb 13 at 0641, Cuban wall-of-noise and pulse
jamming altho not very strong, IIRC a frequency abandoned years ago by
OCB. Also jamming against nothing on 7335, where RM is never currently
scheduled; and Radio Martí over jamming on 7435 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, Feb 13 at 1538, NO spurs today --- how is it that
other days they are all over the band from same frequency? But 13740
is still on with dead air, so something`s still wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15369.23, Feb 13 at 2150, for third day, this RHC way
off-frequency at the same offset, S9+10/20 but suptorted in
Brazuguese. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11850, Feb 14 at 0114, RHC is S5-S7 and JBM, also with a JBA
spur carrier on 11840; but carrier on 11860 bears non-// music, see
UNIDENTIFIED. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185.716v, Feb 14 at 0105, XEPPM is still way off-frequency
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU [and non]. 5980, Feb 13 at 2329, Cuban noise jamming is
running, altho could not detect it for a day or two; JB allowing the
Radio Chaski carrier to be heard, until autocutoff at 2352:50.5*. Last
check was Feb 8 until 2352:59.5*, 9 seconds later, 5 days ago,
averaging 1.8 earlier each night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 13 at 2353, VOT English is not only on today,
but still on running much later into the hour than usual, with
headlines, only at 2354 sign-off claiming this has been the 1330-1430
broadcast on 12035! Well, maybe it was as recorded without bothering
to update any `news` as supposedly done thru the 2130 show. 2354.6
starts playing IS but I don`t stay with to tell if German succeed.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler and/or Ankara (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 2097.3-CW, Feb 13 at 0651 UT, single-letter beacon A is
absent again. Last few nights had tuned across and heard it when I
paused for at least 10 seconds, without bothering to relog (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5950, Feb 13 at 2329, this WRMI is finally back on with
usual weakish signal, TOMBS // much stronger 7570 & 7730. It had been
off due to damage since Feb 8 and still off early UT Feb 13, which is
what I based my WOR 2021 comment upon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1477+ & 1503-, Feb 14 at 0118, no sign of the FMish
spurblobs presumed to emanate from some defective 1490 kHz
graveyarder. Meanwhile, a resounding lack of interest, no replies
found to my previous reports of these posted ASAP to MW groups,
requesting other DXers try to get a DF fix on them. Should they recur
I shall certainly report them (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
