** AMSTERDAM ISLAND. No sign of any activity Jan 29 around 1408 circa 7082 or
14180 or 18130 or 21285, not even from nearby pileups. Presumably the FT5ZM
DX-pedition is still in full force, but just not propagating from the other
worldside, even within 250 miles from its antipodes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11780.1+, Jan 29 at 0246 check, RNB/RNA is still way off-frequency.
Most of the time there is nothing around to het it so it`s not obvious (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 7475, Jan 29 at 0620, ER is overmodulating now and distorting as
Wolfgang B?schel has also been noting lately on this and other channels (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9775, Jan 29 at 1353, I am standing by for R. Free Chosun
pr?lude to begin via RVA Palauig, PHILIPPINES, but no signal yet until *1354:10
open carrier and then JIP the YM crooner as always amid ``I`m stayin` for the
long run``, and next love song in English. 1440 tuneacross, just in time to
hear an ICD = intermittent carrier dropout during Korean (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6185, Jan 29 at 0627, XEPPM is still (under)modulating YL in
Spanish, instead of just open carrier after nominal 0600 closing, and as usual
with heavy ACI from 6180 Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 21305-USB, Jan 29 at 1444, while looking around for Amsterdam
activity, here is an American accent with an exotic call, I figure in some
remote oblast, RX3XX (radio xray three xray xray), working W4KBX, also heard,
until 1447, next WD9CCC. Sufficient signal but with flutter even in SSB mode.
Then Serge admits he`s merely in Moscow. Well, just to the southwest of Moscow
if QRZ.com is correct:
RX3XX
Sergey A. Mezhuev
ul. Kirova 47-57
248001, Kaluga
Russia
where he has a lot more to say about his preferences:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1705 monitoring: missed checking the Tue 1200 airing
on WRMI 9955, but 24 hours earlier during `Wavescan` it was in well enough atop
jamming. NEW time for WOR is Wednesday 1400 on 9955: at 1358 the open carrier
is already on atop the other WRMI transmitter with Japanese fill music after
another `Wavescan` airing; 1359 `Scoreboard` starts, but it`s cut off for a gh
ID! Which is now on the stronger NW signal, and WOR starts at 1400, plays to
completion at 1429. I hope to have 1706 ready for first airing on 9955, UT Thu
at 0430 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, Wed Jan 29 at 1430, following WORLD OF RADIO at new time, WRMI
repeats last week`s `Viva Miami` which I heard previously on webcast only, Jeff
& Tha?s in Spanish with comments and mailbag. They commute frequently between
Miami and Okeechobee, about a 3 hour drive, 150 miles. WRMI is now operated out
of Okeechobee, except some programs, such as this one, are still recorded in
the Miami studio. Very pleased with hundreds of reception reports from around
the world since taking over YFR facility at the beginning of December. Two new
QSLs for WRMI/Okeechobee are at the printers, with more to come. Visitors to
Florida are welcome at the site, but arrange ahead by e-mail (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. During President Obama`s State of the Union speech, UT
January 29 around 0235, I do a quick tune across the AM, FM and SW bands to
find which stations are broadcasting it and which are not; on MW I do not dig
deeply as the TV and computer are on, but find:
Confirmed with SOTU: 700 WLW, 740 KRMG, 780 WBBM, 820 WBAP, 830 WCCO, 850 KOA,
890 WLS, 980 KMBZ, 1040 WHO, 1080 KRLD, 1110 KFAB, 1160 KSL, 1170 KFAQ.
Confirmed NOT with SOTU, some with stupid ballgames, some with other equally
stupid sports or far-right talk, some (WSM) with music: 650 WSM, 670 WSCR, 690
KGGF, 720 WGN, 760 WJR, 840 WHAS, 1000 KTOK, 1100 WTAM, 1200 WOAI, 1510 WLAC.
Due to the noise level could not tell which on 750 WSB, 870 WWL.
On the OK FM band, as expected, business as usual, except for 91.7 KOSU, the
only one possibly carrying SOTU, with NPR --- but failing at 0243, in attempt
to cut away from The Spy musical programming. Pres. Obama speech is JBM as
there is something wrong with the feed --- maybe stereo input out of phase, as
KOSU broadcasts only in mono!
On shortwave, surprise2, none of the private US stations I can hear are
carrying it. VOA is not on in English, of course --- but, Radio Mart? 7365 is
carrying the SOTU with voice-over translation.
9885, Jan 29 at 0632, VOA here is running Pres. Obama during regular English
transmission, which is 06-07, 124 degrees via S?o Tom?. I assume only excerpt,
as the speech ran over an hour, unless the transmission was extended (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1140, 24 hours after yesterday`s unID announcing two frequencies in
Spanish, 1140 and 690, I am trying again to get a definite ID. KRMP OKC is no
problem, easy to null, altho it owns the channel on daytime groundwave (in
English).
At 1337 UT Jan 29, ranchera music and Univisi?n promo for a newscast at 6:30
(am or pm?), on 1140 y 102.9, La Poderosa, 16 grados, and then ``Univisi?n
Kansas City`` mentioned! 1339 UT mentions ``Chihuahua, Chihuahua``, apparently
ad for a musical group.
Therefore, since the NRC AM Log was compiled in August, this station has
flipped: KCXL Liberty MO, ``Radio Free Liberty``, U1 4000/6 watts; format was
TLK/OLD, and it was // K275BQ on 102.9, which matches. FCC AM Query shows it`s
still KCXL, licensed to Alpine Broadcasting Corp.
But from 1344 UT Jan 29, another SS starts to come in on 1140: ``La Tremenda``
with grocery prices, for Supermercado Las Am?ricas, which we have previously
matched with KLTK Centerton AR. Quick fade/outs/ins, during dynamic sunrise
skip. 479 area code phones, matching NW Arkansas, 717-2885 and 759-6090; in
between playing m?sica rom?ntica; 1350 ID as ``Sensacional, Radio Las Am?ricas,
11-40 AM`` (only); 1353 again by SHVA. 1357 now ID as ``en dos frecuencias,
1140 y 1380 de amplitud modulada``, more music. ??
I was quite sure the second frequency announced yesterday was 690; now it`s
not, but I am not positive of the second digit. (Note 1380 is second harmonic
of 690, probably insignificant). The only AR station on 1380 is KDXE, North
Little Rock, already SS, but ``La Que Buena`` per NRC AM Log.
Ah?, checking neighboring states, I see that 1380 KMUS Sperry (Tulsa) OK is
listed as ``Radio Las Am?ricas``, so that probably explains it (but not about
690). So 1380 KMUS is relaying 1140 KLTK with local ads from Arkansas? 1140,
anyhow, at 1400 UT gives legal ID as ``KLTK, ---, Radio Las Am?ricas, 11-40``
(only). By 1403 UT it`s losing out to KSOO, q.v. Hearing KMUS itself is tough
here with heavy splatter from local 1390 KCRC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1140, Jan 29 at 1403 UT, ABC news begins go overcome the Spanish on
1140, 1404 UT KSOO.com plug and Rotorooter Sioux Falls ad; 1405 UT weather: hi
38, lo 13, snow; now 5 degrees, and lo tonite minus 4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

Another day, another mistake (sigh): I meant to write 11783.1, not 11780.1,
corrected:
** BRAZIL. 11783.1+, Jan 29 at 0246 check, RNB/RNA is still way off-frequency.
