Something`s not wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13680, Sun Jan 29 at 2138, RHC in Arabic, not Esperanto; and 15140 is off: either of which have sometimes spoken Esperantely.

This bit surely has a catchy themetune: what is it? 2324 multi-lingual ID reel filler, during which I recognize a few more languages which WRTH says are NOT on VOT SW sked: Greek, Romanian, Hungarian. Tsk: BTW, Hungarian is related to Turkish. 2326 song.

WRMI did not turn off #7, scheduled 1500-2100 only, Radio Africa Network, toward S America, not Africa. NO details of programming as perhaps ashamed of some of the dead and discredited gospel huxters they are so excited, jumping for joy, to diffuse. WRMI sked refers to https://www.radiopanam.com/ where no program sked can be found, nor specifically via: https://www.radiopanam.com/impact/radio-africa-network/ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 900, Jan 30 at 2230-2300 UT, KSGL Wichita KS, I find myself listening to while resting/napping for some nice music: nostalgic love songs, like `Midnight Gambler`, `Green Eyes` today. It`s 250/28 watts, direxional E/W squished but sufficient signal to Enid, barely beyond the daytime fringe contour per radio-locator. I never hear it at night tho XEW hardly merits protexion any more. KSGL is split/personality between `Music You Remember` -- is that a satellite syndication? And gospel-huxtering, fortunately each in distinct segments. This leads to program schedules and other info: http://www.ksglradio.com/ Official FCC sunset times in UT: 2330 Jan, 0015 Feb, 0030 March... I think it used to be IBOC, but too weak here to notice noise circa 887, 913; and no longer listed as such in NRC AM Log (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Jan 30 at 0653, R.

No 846 TP Kiritimati this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 10001 USB, Jan 30 at 0718, 2-way intermittent, unseems Spanish; inadvisable right next to WWV/H!
