** BRAZIL. I am surveying the ZYs on 9 and 11 MHz in the nightmiddle:

11815.014, Jan 9 at 0613, VP assumed R. Brasil Central. This one is
the winner for closeness to nominal frequency.

11855.915 and audibly wobbling, Jan 9 at 0614, some Portuguese talk
from R. Aparecida, S3-S6. This one varies a lot, sometimes above
11856.

Only other signals on 25 mb are JBACs from N Korea 11680, 11710,
11735; Cuban jamming or RHC on 11860, 11930, 12000.

9664.686, Jan 9 at 0618, R. Voz MissionÃria is S5-S7. But many other
31m stations are inaudible, presumed off, approx.:

9819-, 9725+, 9675-, 9630+. Maybe SRDA 9565- is still there under the
stupid Cuban jamming. 9725 and 9675 have been gone for some weeks, but
9819 was heard not long ago, and 9630.5 is usually there.

The other ZYs listed in WRTH 2019 without daggers or double-daggers, I
never hear; perhaps some still active at more limited dayparts, not
overnight: 11935, 11915, 11895, 11780, 11765, 9550, 9515; most likely
off-frequency if ever running (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 13645, Jan 9 at 0611, very weak talk signal, the OSOB except
for VP NZ on 13730, which is often really the OSOB until 0700. HFCC
shows 13645 must be CRI English via Xi`an at 06-07 only, 500 kW at 200
degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11860 & 11930, Jan 9 at 0616, totally wasted residual pulse
jamming against R. Martà frequencies used only in the daytime.

12000, Jan 9 at 0617, RHC English is R5, S9-S7, much stronger than the
jammers. Altho harmonic 2 x 6000, it`s hard not to conclude 12000 is
intentional. As usual, not a trace of 2x the other three 6 MHz band
frequencies from the other site. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13779.239, Jan 9 at 1459, RHC way off-frequency again; it was
not on at earlier check 1409. Something`s always wrong at RHC, but: No
FM spurs today on band from 13700.

15690 & 15710, Jan 9 at 1451, CRI English 15700 via Cuba has a tone
audible only with BFO on but I can`t zero beat it. Keyboard matches to
D# above Cmiddle, or about 311 Hz. The same tone is JBA at plus and
minus 10 kHz spurs, the only sign of them around this transmitter. Not
exactly the same situation as 11840 evenings which always has much
attenuated plus/minus 10 kHz spurs with program modulation.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15139.818, Jan 9 at 1413, this RHC is way off-frequency again
today and terribly distorted; spurs also detectable circa 14968,
14997, 15283 but not 15311. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. The Oklahoma Educational Television Authority had a big
surprise in store for us. Ever since the digital transition, the
second of four OETA channels has been called OKLA --- a mixture of
repeats of PBS and OETA main-channel programs, kidvid, and shall we
say, second-tier PTV shows.

On Monday January 7, OKLA was suddenly gone, replaced by PBS World,
apparently a sub-service of PBS which has already been available
elsewhere. Break-ins with some OETA repeats remain on the new 13-2,
but overall it provides a much more diversified schedule.

For example, BBC World News America had been airing at 2200 UT on
OKLA, and again at 2300 weekdays on OETA-HD (main channel). Now on 13
-2 instead, we have NHK World news at 2200, and DW News at 2230. NHK
had been absent from any OETA service for more than a year. Now we can
get three major foreign TV news sources in a row for a sesquihour.

I have mixed feelings about the change, since there was already more
worthwhile programming on OETA than I had time to watch! Full
schedules of all four OETAs are available here:
http://www.oeta.tv/schedule/

I can get OETA off the air, sometimes, depending on slight tropo
enhancement, but often marginal with breakup, or not at all. I
strongly suspect that the problem is not a weak signal, but QRM from
the second harmonic of local KNID 107.1 on 214.2 MHz, right in the
middle of the RF channel 13, 210-216 MHz spectrum.

13-1 and 13-2 are also on Suddenlink cable, 13 & 145, but maddeningly
have been only with flat mono sound, which I had to endure even during
the recent holiday music specials, and lots of PBS programs, notably
Nature have excellent stereo music background soundtrax.

After prodding OETA repeatedly to get this fixed, instead I finally
reached someone at Enid Suddenlink to investigate. It turns out that
their main source for OKC channels including OETA is a fibre-optic
feed from competing cable company Cox, which owns the OKC market.

He switched to Suddenlink`s backup, an off-air pickup in Seminole OK
(the other side of OKC, rather indirect!), and voilÃ, I hear stereo
again (on headphones, so there is no ambiguity). Thus we again have
$ tereo on OETA via cable as long as they keep getting it via Seminole.
If I want to see something on OETA Create, their third channel, I
still have to get it off the air or not at all.

I have been unable to find any PR on the OETA website about the change
from OKLA to PBS WORLD, but here`s something of far more import,
behind-the-scenes problems we never would know about from watching TV:

``OETA Acts to Protect Donor Funds
Last Updated by Aaron Morvan on Jan 09, 2019 at 4:34 pm

http://www.oeta.tv/blogs/media/oeta-acts-to-protect-donor-funds/?preview

The Oklahoma Educational Television Authority (OETA) Board of
Directors voted unanimously today to terminate its relationship with
OETA Foundation. In taking this action the Board is protecting donor
funds and the investment of Oklahomaâs taxpayers as well as the
integrity of OETA. OETA intends to fully comply with the intent of the
state law 1982 Okla. Sess. Laws 607, SB 454 to âencourage
contributions by private individuals, companies, foundations,
corporations and others in the private and public sectorsâ and will
immediately take steps to form a âpublic, nonprofit foundation which
will operate for the exclusive purpose of receiving, investing and
expending privately donated nonstate appropriated funds related to the
support, promotion, development and growth of educational and public
broadcasting in Oklahoma.â

In 1982 OETA collaborated with a diverse group of philanthropic
Oklahomans to create the OETA Foundation, Inc. The OETA Foundation and
OETA worked together for just over three decades with a shared goal to
bring Oklahomans quality, accessible, non-commercial programming
intended to entertain and enlighten.

OETA holds the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license for
public television in Oklahoma and as the licensee, OETA is closely
regulated by the FCC with sole responsibility for programming,
management, and content.

The once-cooperative and courteous relationship between OETA and the
OETA Foundation, Inc. has deteriorated dramatically. Recognizing this
serious situation, the OETA Board of Directors led intensive efforts
over a multi-year period to negotiate a modernized and reformed
operating agreement with the OETA Foundation, but unfortunately were
rebuffed by the OETA Foundation. As a result, multiple long-time OETA
Foundation Trustees resigned in 2018 in protest of this continued
irresponsible and harmful behavior towards OETA and the State of
Oklahoma.

In December of 2018, OETA Foundation filed suit against OETA to assert
control of the operations of OETA and to prevent donor funding from
reaching OETA. In response, OETA filed a petition asking the judge to
affirm OETAâs authority to select a more prudent and responsible
steward of OETAâs donor dollars and charitable gifts.

âAfter trying in good faith for over two years to reach an amicable
resolution we now find ourselves in the unfortunate position of being
forced to terminate our relationship with the OETA Foundation, Inc.,â
commented Garrett King of Weatherford, Chair of the OETA Board of
Directors. âThe OETA Foundation has precipitated this unfortunate
situation, but the OETA Board of Directors will uphold its
responsibilities to the public and to OETAâs generous donors. We will
protect and preserve OETA and its ability to execute the mission given
it by the Oklahoma Legislature.â

The OETA Board of Directors voted today in favor of a resolution which
provides the Chair of the Board the authority to proceed with
terminating the agreement with the OETA Foundation. As a result, OETA
intends to notify the OETA Foundation in writing directly of its
decision.

âWe took this action today pursuant to all applicable law and policy,
but we took no joy in being forced to do so by the OETA Foundationâs
reckless and damaging behavior,â King said. âIt is what we must do. We
have also taken the first crucial steps towards rebuilding OETAâs
capacity to fully cooperate with a new supporting charity as was
envisioned by the Legislature in 1982 and as was the reality for so
many positive, productive years. Private support has been and will be
crucial to OETAâs continued success and role as a positive force in
the lives of Oklahomans.â

King expressed his appreciation to the full OETA Board of Directors
for its engaged, resolute support of OETAâs employees and mission. He
also commended public media veteran Polly Anderson, the Executive
Director of OETA named by the Board in late 2017, for her
steadfastness in steering the organization through challenging times``

The root cause of this schism is totally unclear. Is it all about
money, or programming philosophy, or ?? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5830, Jan 9 at 1403, WTWW-1 is S9+20/30 of dead air for at
least a minute; by 1449 recheck it`s modulating SFAW; by 1505 day
frequency 9475- is still not on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** BRAZIL [NON]. 6090.00, Jan 8 at 0047-0051, one signal S7-S9 very
poor but enthusiastic talk seems Spanish. IRAN is scheduled here, and
the same is inbooming via UTwente SDR. It`s an anti-American Cuban
talking.

I am checking this again, because another monitor has repeatedly said
he hears ``Bandeirantes`` and ``Sao Paulo`` mentioned on this
frequency, such as at this time on a previous date --- despite info
from Brazilian DXers that Bands. is long gone from SW and has even
dismantled its equipment. I also brought up Bands. webcasts which were
nice to hear in Portuguese of course, but not the same programming as
on 6090:
https://radiobandeirantes.band.uol.com.br/
http://www.radiosaovivo.net/bandeirantes/

BTW, Anguilla was absent, but next check at 0355 PMS is on, next2
check at 0635 is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 14968.44 & 15311.56 approx., Jan 7 at 1437, JBA spurs out of
RHC 15140 transmitter are detected and also the closer pair circa
15283 & 14997. Something`s always wrong at RHC. But today the 13 MHz
band is clean of spurs, just fundamentals 13700 & 13780 --- except:

13750, Jan 7 at 1503 surprised to hear RHC Spanish audio here but does
not compute as spur or mix of 13700, 13780. Instead it is 1390 kHz
below 15140! I.e. receiver overload mixing with my strongest local
KCRC. Not noted before; must be because distorted 15140 is unusually
strong. 13750 vanishes with preamps off or attenuation.

15140, Jan 8 at 1735 on caradio, this RHC is awful, more distorted
than ever, while 11760 is OK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5039.936, UT Tue Jan 8 at 0640, RHC English is unusually way
off-frequency; ``Ed Newman`` is introducing the 2-weekly `Focus on
Africa`, claiming it is also transmitted to Africa on 11880! Which is
a long-gone frequency, now 9720. Complies with listener requests for
more music on this show.

Also, 15139.822, Jan 8 at 1401, RHC Spanish distorted; one thing RHC
usually manages to do, is stay close to nominal frequencies. The
latter cuts off at 1402, uncovering *no* Oman, but Ivo Ivanov says
that did come on by 1405. RHC is back on by 1407 at S9+20. No FM spurs
on 13 MHz band today, but something is always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1964, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 1521, Jan 8 at 1745 on caradio as I drive around
Enid, JBA het upon nearby KOKC. Hard to believe it be the 2000 kW from
Duba, even before noon here, but can`t think of a better explanation.
On the caradio so not a local device, altho I have also heard it on
home rigs. Close skywave is certainly in play now tnx to the lowsun on
highband, from at least Iowa to Texas. So if Saudi can get to the east
coast, it`s not too fantastic to reach this farther under the
circumstances. Are they hearing it in Massachusetts this early? Other
spots further from a local 1520 should listen for it too, and try to
get a bearing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9330 & 9395, Jan 8 at 1740 on caradio, TOMBS
with some reverb, unusual; makes the LDPOG sound really cool, ha.
Rails against those who do not believe he is: turn the dial. OK!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 11815.731, Jan 8 at 1411, TRT Turkish talk at S4-S8, way
off-frequency today, while English is relatively close at 12035.022
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7341-USB, Mon Jan 7 at 1506, crypto letter messages, calls
include Red Cloud 41 and Heartland 40? Presumably another CAP net

Chinese, i.e. RTI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13505, 13570, 13635, 13765, 13830, 13897, 13960, 14028-trace,
very approx. broadband FM spurs, none of them clear, from RHC-AM
13700, Jan 6 at 1429. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

13700, Jan 6 at 1445, RHC `En Contacto` has Arnie saying that we are
almost to solar min by summer near zero sunspot count, forecast to
start rising in Sept as high as 30 by yearend when SW reception should
be much improved. His info probably comes from Yanqui SWPC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CYPRUS [non]. See USA: WRMI

** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-AM, Jan 5 at 2222, JBA M&W talk, 2225 gone.
Several more unID logs here, first as a conversation with Alexa:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,49805.0.html
and a rather grotesque SSTV image, but no IDs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** NORTH AMERICA. 6949.9, Jan 5 at 2218, JBA talk, pirate? Barely //
1390v KCRC local with CBS Sports Radio. However, some pirates are
reported as 6950-USB around this time: Voice of Uncle Don:

Wentzville MO, about 10 minutes into, so started circa 0418, S9+10/20.

three frequencies: 5850, 5950, 7730, from VG to F to G. (only 5950

** U S A [and non]. 9955, Sunday Jan 6 at 1454, AWR Wavescan during
logs from Japan, poor with ACI from stronger 9960, which is PALAU with
Furusato no Kaze. Aoki/NDXC attempts to list every single program on
9955, but misses 1430 Sun Wavescan, instead ex-Word for the World.

And on Wed at 1430-1445 & Tue at 1445-1500, among others, Famagusta
Gazette! which has been gone for a year or more? I haven`t run across
it in a long time. WRTH 2019 pp 467-468 under CYPRUS still shows a
total of 11 weekly times for FG Radio on 9955 or 5950.

But WRMI sked grid has only 4 when searched on FG: Wed 2100 on 7780 &
5950, unlikely; Thu 0245 on 9955; Thu 2245 on 9955; Fri 1015 on 5950.
Any of these need to be confirmed, and whether they involve current
news or stale replays, evergreens, as has happened before.

WRTH notes: ``Weekly prgr with Europe related news, linked with the
(now discontinued) online news portal `Famagusta Gazette``` (Glenn

** U S A. 15809.983, Jan 6 at 1435, JBA carrier, must be the very
irregular WTWW-3, typical frequency offset, on a very bad day for 19m
propagation, as even the three Cubans are weakened and spurless. I
struggle to hear enough mod to match it to 9475-, WTWW-1, which has a
big echo: double-audio input of SFAW talk, unusual, S9+20/30. At 1500,
9475 has gone off! Back on in a minute with single audio; but why was
it necessary to turn off the transmitter to fix it? I keep trying to
match and finally do so during PPPP singing at 1503 as I measure the
frequency.

Then I find that Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria has been getting 15810 much
better: ``Test transmission of WTWW-3 from 1400 on 15810, fair to
good. Nothing from World Music Radio Denmark on 15805 -- 73! Ivo
Ivanov`` at 1443 UT Jan 6. (And SHN says this is the final daily
broadcast on 15805, to be weekends only) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 930, Jan 6 at 0708, WKY OKC Spanish ESPN-D is getting
overtaken by some C&W music, on my E-W antenna almost perpendicular to
OKC, fades just in time for ID(?). Not too many C&W format
possibilities in NRC AM Log: KAFF AZ, KRKY CO both of which would need
to be on 5 kW day power; likewise WSEV TN. Or the two Canadians, CFBC
NB, CJYQ NL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Minor regional tropo enhancement brings DTV DX, morning of
January 6 from 1553 UT. Only decode, briefly at 1629, is RF 45 as 3-3,
Ion, PSIP along with 3-4 Justice, 3-2 Telemun [sic], and 3-1 KSNW-DT,
i.e. Wichita`s NBC. Poor Ion in that market, gets only its main
channel on another station, not the other 5. Other BAD signals
correlate mostly with Wichita/Kansas market rather than Tulsa
yesterday and ante-yesterday: 8, 10, 12, 16, 19, 21, 22, 26, 35.

Bill Hepburn`s tropo maps indicate more marginal openings this week on
Tue-Wed-Thu mornings (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7325.7 & 7325.0, Jan 6 at 0654, two JBA carriers
hetting. Aoki/NDXC shows BBCWS in English 7325 switching from
Woofferton to Ascension at 0700, but even if overlapping, neither
likely to be off-frequency. 7325 is also day frequency for AIR Jaipur,
India, from 0630, also unlikely. Both BBC transmissions are *jammed by
the ChiCom even tho they are in English, which far too many Chinese
now understand (GLenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9120-9135, Jan 6 at 0659, wideband humbuzz at S7-S5, not
really DRM. (WINB 9265-AM is off unlike 24 hours earlier) (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
