** CUBA. 6165 // 6000, Jan 13 at 0649, RHC English remains
undermodulated on both, S9+20, somewhat louder on 6100 and loudest on
6060. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15139.825, Jan 13 at 1524, RHC seems off-frequency all the
time now; also with JBA spurs circa 14968 & 15311 at earlier 1441
check, but not on 14997 & 15283. Something`s always wrong at RHC. But
nothing`s wrong on 13 MHz band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH. 5923, Jan 13 a 1527 narrow-band noise centered here,
rather like DRM, but must be jamming against the JBA carrier on 5920
of V of Freedom, Korea South (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 13 at 0658, no signal from VON. It surely goes
and comes unpredictably (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) But:

** NIGERIA [non]. 7335, Jan 13 at 0657, very rapid Hausa talk from S9
R. Nigeria, Kaduna via FRANCE until turnoff at 0700* (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH AFRICA. 15350, Jan 13 at 1522, tune-in to dead air, then
Arabish talk starts, S8-S5. Aoki shows R. Dabanga via Meyerton is
supposed to run 1529-1600; must be getting a headstart. HFCC shows FPU
from 1530-, 250 kW at 5 degrees after a hefty 25 degree slew. Axually
the FPU program feed until 1529 is probably Radio Tamazuj, not
supposed to be on 15350 at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 6125.0, Jan 13 at 0421, VP signal from algo, presumably V
of Turkey English to N America as scheduled, altho can`t be positive
since it`s not on 6125.7 tonight; at least this transmission exist,
after hearing nothing at 2300 on 5960. You might assume the 0400 is on
a more westerly beam than at 2300 for E NAm, but you would be wrong;
per HFCC, both are the same 310 degrees, which crosses USA from NYC to
Pensacola --- so beyond that the signal gets worse and worse. WNAm is
not even a CIRAF-6 target for either.

BTW, Alan Roe reports: ``The Voice of Turkey "Letterbox Programme" is
now being aired weekly on the Saturday programme (rather than Friday),
seemingly since beginning of January. Confirmed in yesterday's
broadcast (12 January at 1330 UT on 12035 kHz) Alan Roe, Teddington,
UK`` Or 12035.7v; plus UT Sunday for the 0400 final repeat (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 475 kHz, Jan 13 at 0701, WA4SZE/BEACON on CW from Dave
Frantz, of WWRB, Manchester TN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1964 monitoring. Alan Gale,
England, reports on Sat Jan 12: ``Hi Glenn, Nothing to report about
today's World of Radio broadcast on HLR's 9485 kHz frequency at 1530
UT; it wasn't heard here and neither was any of their output
unfortunately. It would certainly be interesting to know just where
their skip is coming down as it must be passing right over me at the
moment. Alan``

WOR 1964 confirmed UT Sunday January 13 at 0420 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM,
MO, S9+30, starting Cuba segment, about seven minutes in, so started
almost on-time circa 0413.

UNIDENTIFIED. 9000, Jan 13 at 1517, the open carrier I was hearing
yesterday afternoon is still here, S9-S7. Art Delibert replies Jan 13
to my previous report:

``Glenn -- I'm noticing the same het [carrier] on 9 MHz at 1218 hours.
Running the SAL12 antenna around the compass, it's strongest (S9) in
the SE direction, but pretty good in just about every direction.
Doesn't seem to be any propagation fading. Not much is making it
through on 31 meters at the moment, except some of the big CRI xmtrs,
mostly with my antenna pointed SW. So I'm thinking this thing on 9 MHz
is located somewhere along the southern portion of the mid-Atlantic
coast, like maybe the Norfolk area -- Art Delibert, N. Bethesda, MD``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15325.5-USB, Jan 13 at 1444, 2-way INTRUDERS in
colloquial Spanish; shortly a similar conversation on much weaker
15430-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9720, Jan 12 at 2210, RHC in Kriyol, not English! Which
supposedly had settled into the 22-23 UT slot. 2253 recheck, song in
Spanish, 2255 French announcement; a smidgin before 2300, RHC English
theme and opening by ``Ed Newman``, cut off the air after about 6
words! So the studio playout had their language tapes mixed up, and
the transmitter site wasn`t about to compensate for that. Something`s

** CUBA. 6000 // 6165, Jan 13 at 0137, RHC is S9+10/20 just barely
modulated with soul music, 0140 English announcement, also somewhat
suptorted. Meanwhile 6060 Spanish blasts in. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 5975-5980-5985, Jan 12 at 2313, DRM noise, not strong but
plenty to wipe out any carrier from R. Chaski, PerÃ, supposedly still
on air until 2400v*. Got to be RRI Galbeni, English to W Europe,
registered as analog, but has flipped to DRM before (or maybe is
really always DRM).

More evidence that failing DRM should *never* have been allowed to
pollute the analog SWBC bands. There are scads of open areas in the
nearby fixed utility bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 12 at 2310, no signal from VOT English to N
America, again. Is anyone hearing this any more? A couple times
before, I figured it were more of their frequent screwups. OTOH,
propagation is pitiful, hardly anything else on 49m from Eurasia, the
best being 6175 CRI Spanish, 280 degrees from CÃrrik, Albania ---
should be close enough to Emirler for both to propagate if on (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7489.980v, Jan 12 at 2300, WBCQ starts with ``Welcome to the
second Good Time Oldies; who am I? West Virginia Paul``. Good S9+10,
then plays at least three songs seguÃ; editing seems a bit rough. Not
sure what he means by ``second`` as the show has been running for many
more weeks than that --- and it`s the one scheduled for an even one
hundred minutes. Beyond that nothing known about him or it. No sign of
the 7490.00 ChiCom CCI, but propagation is pitiful and we`re lucky to
get anything intra-continental, let alone extra-, but WBCQ unusually
so close to frequency on the low rather than high side would make a
heterodyne almost subaudible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5950, Sat Jan 12 at 2313, WRMI with VORW, // stronger 9395.
The System G program grid claims it`s on 9395 only, just another
example of reality not matching the schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9265, UT Sun Jan 13 at 0130, I`m all set to hear the
`International Radio Report` via Unique Radio via WINB --- but it`s
only a JBA carrier! Little besides WRMI and Cuba are propagating on
31m. By 0153 I`ve brought up the WINB webcast at
http://winb.mntts.com:82/broadwave.mp3
and what do I hear? The song ``Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald``, which
is semi-Canadian, but not what I would expect to be played on IRR.
Finally at 0159 we hear Aussie Tim ID as Unique Radio, a bit more
music before cut off for WINB ID and 0200 ``FKB Radio Sermon Time`` -
-- he`s looking forward to worldwide coverage on 500 kW WBCQ 7490.

UT Fri Jan 11 at 0130 I was also all set to hear Unique`s other
primetime spot on 9265, till I realized it had been an hour earlier at
0030. But I expect what I heard this time was the ending of that show,
not the IRR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 4980, Jan 12 at 2315, Supreme Master TV on WRMI has QRM from
weak RTTY about 4981.15, separate from the much stronger RTTY on 4985;
yet evitable by LSB tuning (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VIETNAM [non]. 7315, Jan 13 at 0136, via WHRI, VOV in stilted
English, something about the Mekong Delta, S9+20/30 --- they`ve done
it again, mixed up languages as Spanish is supposed to air on the
half-hours. Also Larry Zamora received a colorful New Year card from
them, but accompanying schedule is slightly outdated, claiming VOV are
also on 6175 to North America. That was the relay via defunct RCI! And
6175 had replaced BBCWS relay which gave up on us even before that
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search earlier than I
usually try it, after not detecting any LWBC, Jan 12 from 2323 UT on

ones all correlate with UK; (2) = at least two carriers beating; again
the most pronounced being 1305 likely Spain synchros (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9000, Jan 12 at 2212, S5-S9 of open carrier, still at
2250 and 2309 chex. Not a local device or receiver birdie since it`s
propagationally fading. Maybe some broadcast transmitter supposed to
be higher in the 9 MHz band, or utility lower in the 8 MHz band, but
slipped a finger or defaulted to even MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
