** ANTARCTICA. Have looked for LRA36 several times lately, but no sign of it,
in accordance with South American reports that it has been missing from 15476.
Including Jan 14 at 1908. Seems like they usually disappear in Jan/Feb, tho
you`d think summer would be the most pleasant time for them. Maybe the staff
are out frolicking on the beach. Whenever I check this I also check for RAE;
see ARGENTINA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA. Jan 14 at 1907 check, could detect a carrier on 15344.4, no doubt
RAE, and an even weaker carrier on 15345.0 causing a lite het, which would be
Morocco (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC, 15370, Sunday Jan 13 at 1442 with ``La Cultura en Cuba`` show
about composer Ernesto Lecuona and playing some of his great music until 1452.
Probably starts at 1430, and goes into Monitoring Reminders Calendar; also on
the usual // frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ETHIOPIA [non]. Dimitse Tewahedo, via WHRA, 11785, Monday Jan 14 at 1900
managed to surpass the previous abrupt cutoff at 1905 and continued mostly with
music past 1906 and 1911 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. AIR GOS, 9690 to SE Asia, Jan 14 at 1455 with closing news headlines,
and also hum on transmitter as noted previously (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INTERNATIONAL WATERS [non?]. 8122-USB, Jan 14 at 1415 with Don Anderson`s
detailed weather info for the Sea of Cortez, mentioning the southern crossing
(for yachts) at 23 degrees north; finished his portion of the Amigos Net at
1436 IDing as ``Summer Passage``, which I think is his yacht, so apparently he
was aboard rather than aland at Oxnard CA; his signal was just as big as ever,
eclipsing other stations in the net (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. V. of Mesopotamia, via Moldova/Pridnestrovye,
Kishinev/Grigoriopol, 11530, good Jan 15 at 1440 with presumably Kurdish music
including wailing, ululation, string instrument accompaniment, until taken out
by the eerie Catholic choir of WEWN around 1457 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [non]. Continuous pop music on 13755, 1520 past 1530 Jan 15, fair;
some lyrix seem Russian. Yes, per EiBi it`s
13755 1500-1600 RUS VoR Sodruzhestvo R ME /D-w 13760
The V. of Russia Commonwealth service via Wertachtal, Germany. PWBR also shows
this but for summer only, obviously not the case (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. TX-DOT net, 5195.0 instead of 5195.3, SSB, Monday Jan 14 at 1430-1434
with usual weekly rollcall of Texas cities in alphabetical order. Quite a few
were absent, but this time I noticed that YL-sounding voices emanated from
Brownwood and Wichita Falls, obsessed as I am with the gender of radio
communicators. Net ID at closing by NCS Austin, WQFR277 was ``Tex-dot-TRS``,
but not sure of the TRS part, surely not sponsored by Tandy Radio Shack (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1130, KLEY Wellington KS, semi-local, was dead air at 2148 UT Jan 13
and several minutes thereafter. If no one at the station is listening to
itself, why should they expect anyone else to? (Glenn Hauser, US 81/64/60, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 960 kHz, Jan 13 at 2142, remax.com commercial detectable under
talk from local KGWA, as I was checking out new caradio a few miles N of Enid
near the ch 46 OETA translator site at the junxion of US 81/64/60. Suspect KMA
Shenandoah IA, perhaps back on full power/tower. KMA is non-direxional daytime,
and KGWA protects it day and night, but was still very strong at this location
not far from its null. I need to do a bandscan around noon LMT = 1832 UT, to
minimize skywave which may have played a part in this log. BTW, on this stretch
of highway northward from Enid, you are on US 81-N, US 64-W and US 60-E all at
the same time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Someone is off-frequency from 1320 kHz, producing a ``rumble``
het, Jan 13 at 2151. Closest stations are Clinton OK, Ft Smith AR/OK, and
Lawrence KS, tho at this hour skywave may have been a factor (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1650 kHz, Jan 13 at 0631-0633, ``CBS Radio Networks, Channel 42``
and tone, announcement loop. Yet another instance of some abandoned/automated
station broadcasting an inactive satellite channel. Very likely one of only
three regulars here on the frequency, KWHN-OK, KCNZ-IA or KBJD-CO (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6074.0, 8GAL, Jan 13 started CW marker a few seconds early,
overlapping the Russian timesignal at 1400* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15710, Cuban-style grind jamming against no detectable target,
still going strong, Jan 14 as late as 1903. It would be nice to catch its start
and stop times, possibly uncovering its target, but I admit listening to
jamming is not very attractive. I am not aware of anyone else ever reporting
this big dirty signal amid 19mb broadcasters. Maybe R. Prague would care if it
is bothered between 1630 and 1800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
