(Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6165 & 6100, Jan 10 at 0636, both English RHCs are off, which
also explains why I had no JBA carriers as I tuned down past 6270 &
6230, normally leapfrogs of 6060 over 6165, and 6100 over 6165.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. 6060 is still on VG as usual, and so
is 6000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5039.943, Jan 10 at 0643, RHC English with a feature on JosÃ
Martà (named for the US radio service), way off-frequency again but
adequate modulation. Something`s always wrong at RHC Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13756.586, Jan 10 at 1429, JBA spur // 13700 RHC. This is not
one of the loud FM ones often heard circa 13765. Not clear if it`s out
of 13700 or 13780v which is also on. It`s 56.586 kHz from 13700 and
see next item. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13779.239, Jan 10 at 1433, RHC Spanish strong fundamental is
another way-off-frequency. (In case significant, note it is 22.653 kHz
from the 13756.586 spur.) Something`s always wrong at RHC.

13882.9, Jan 10 at 1440, JJBBA carrier, like another RHC spur but just
too weak to match any audio or add more digits. It`s 103.66 kHz from
13780- and 182.9 kHz from 13700. Does not match up as a multiple of
other spurs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15139.831, Jan 10 at 1504, RHC VG but off-frequency again.
Something`s always wrong at RHC.

14968.253v, Jan 10 at 1502, wobbly very weak RHC spur, matched by
15311.403v, i.e. out of 15140v transmitter; but the closer pair circa
14997 & 15283 are not to be heard today.

Since 15140v is yet another off-frequency fundamental, its spurs
should also be offset slightly below their `normal` positions. The
independently measured separations now are: minus 171.578 kHz below;
plus 171.572 above --- a very close match by 6 Hz, within margin of
error! Something`s always wrong at RHC.

But we are indebted to the engineering staff for providing all these
monitoring and mathematical exercises on otherwise dull bands (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUATEMALA. 4055, Jan 10 at 1422, JBA AM carrier, presumed what`s
left of TGAV Radio Verdad, 38 minutes after sunrise here (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** HAWAII. 6501-USB, Jan 10 at 0633, rough modulation of marine
weather info, mainly ``seas``, i.e. wave heights in feet, for various
Pacific Ocean coÃrdinates.

Per EiBi it`s USCG Honolulu, NMO, scheduled at 0600-0635 & 1200-1235
only; 6501 time-shared with Alaska, Guam, Chesapeake, and Fuzhou. IIRC
this and/or other USCG stations have long suffered from lousy SSB
modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN. 9680, Jan 10 at 1528, W&M conversation in Japanese, poor.
It`s NHK, in clear after the China Radio War ends at 1400. NHK also on
9750, both for Asia of course (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6185, Jan 10 at 0635, undermodulated Spanish, S9-S7, as
XEPPM must be overrunning nominal 0600*; perhaps it`s still the RFI
news relay, cut off abruptly at 0638* during what may have been an ID.
For a long time now, earlier in evening, Radio EducaciÃn has been very
weak and also undermodulated, unusable. Clearly SW is the lowest
priority for them, as they are finally expanding into FM. We can only
hope they keep 6185 going as Mexico`s last SW station (Glenn Hauser,

UNIDENTIFIED. 6990-LSB, Jan 10 at 0628, there he is again, the guy
with long aaaaaahhhhhhs between seeming Japanese syllables. I try to
copy some of those, not necessarily accurately: inati, irata, nishida,
ishanata, oshito, kunitobo, ishado koto, ishina, kita, kata, shana,
koto, ikeda, isina, kata, kita, isoto, ishabata --- and finally,
koshira repeated 9 times in a row.

For kix, I paste these into Google Translate to see what come out.

``Pilgrimage, I needed, Nodai, Nagai, Oshita, Kuonbo, Oka, Okayama,
Ikeda, Kana, Kyoto, Ikeda, Ikebana, Ikeda, Katakana, Iwaso, Welcome``

** 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

** 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:

** 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

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)
