** CHINA. 5979.0, Dec 9 at 0015 and 0042, JBA carrier definitely here, i.e.
surely PBS Gannan, Hezuo, which Ron Howard has been hearing in our mornings on
5979 ex-5970. It seemed to me like a mispunch on a keypad, but if so, it has
lasted several days now. Aoki shows it`s only 15 kW, ND, alternates Chinese and
Tibetan, this segment until 0100 in Chinese. Hezuo is between Xining and Baoji
in north central China. (I was of course checking for 5980, R. Chaski, Per?,
but no signal from it tonight. In my years of tracing that, never had anything
on 5979 before!) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COSTA RICA. 2859.82, Dec 9 at 0019, JBA carrier. Suspected to be R. San
Carlos, 2 x 1430v, as tipped by Tim Tromp in MI the night before:
``For those interested in DXing medium wave harmonics, we have one right now on
2859.8 kHz: Spanish language with a *very* tentative ID caught at 2300 UT TOH
that sounded like "Radio San Carlos" (Costa Rica), which would be 1430 x 2.
Fair and steady carrier but weak modulation that seems to come and go. Still
there at 0017. A quick search of Glenn Hauser posts reveals Radio San Carlos
has been reported on 2859.8 in past years. 73, (Tim Tromp, West Michigan,
Perseus + D-KAZ aimed due South, Dec 7-8, IRCA via DXLD)``
I had several logs of it in 2009-2010y but not since! At that time it was
signing off circa 0200. I scan the 2 MHz band almost every night for harmonix,
but none heard in a long time now. Where has this been, and why is it back now?
WRTH 2016 shows 3 kW on 1430 from Ciudad Quesada, TIRVDC, at 11-03 UT (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 5060, 4980, 4850, 4500, Dec 9 at 0024, JBA
carriers from the Urumqi Four, except 5060 has a little audio, probably
Chinese. Also Sino-Tibetan carriers on 4905, 4800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEWFOUNDLAND. 2598-USB, Dec 9 at 0021, YL voice in English with marine
weather, S9 peaks, but noise level is S8. CCG schedule shows starting at 0007
is VCP Placentia, via St John`s transmitter site. Nothing now on 2749-USB from
NS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1855 monitoring: confirmed Thu Dec 8 at 2130
on WRMI 13695, excellent. Also confirmed UT Fri Dec 9 at 0030 on WBCQ

** U S A. 7490.02, UT Fri Dec 9 at 0016, WBCQ is again filling with Ramsey`s
`Furthermore 29-54` show, mentioning only his original time, Monday 7 pm
east-coast-time, and plugging for more time sales on WBCQ. S9+15 on meter but
sounds poor and noisy, weakening.
0031, now it`s James Branum on `Broad Spectrum Radio` talking about his plans
for 2017y. Consistency has been a problem, and a big load financially for an
individual. Gets some free time on Channel 292 and Unique Radio; says will
suspend WINB, but continue with 15 minutes a week on KTLR 890 OKC, which costs
$25 each (Fridays 1700 UT); also still on WBCQ for 30 minutes a week, around
$20. Will change to approx. monthly hour-long shows on Channel 292, which has
been drawing good response from Europe; and Unique Radio, ``best of`` several
segments each month. More content is coming, all of which will be online, with
selected parts put on air. Total cost per year is about $4K, so needs sponsors,
donors, or will have to pare back further. More about this currently on
homepage:
http://broadspectrumradio.com/
He is also developing a mobile app (which I don`t see mentioned on website),
shortwave all wave radio tool with lots of features and more being added,
branded by his ham call KG5JST, upon which search. Free and pay versions, but
those sending reception reports for QSL will get the ad-free pay version. Also
plans a special app for BSR itself (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

proper signal before 0600 UT, but covered now, when checked again at 0625UT

with new TX and antenna equipment re-built.
Much, much better audio quality, checked personally / heard for the first

3.5 kHz wide upper-sideband signal up to 6183.500 kHz.

.. it's been so cold to go outside and DX, it'd be unsafe here. Temps have
been consistently around -25 to -30 below for 2 weeks when the sun is down
with wind chills near -40 below and maybe about -22 to -26 when the sun is
up.
Fort Yukon, alaska, just above the arctic circle had -48 below zero
yesterday with a -65 windcill.
Barrow on the other hand, has -8 this morning.
We here in Galena might deep into the teens below zero today tomorrow and
sunday with the possibility for single digits below zero monday with some
temps slightly above zero tuesday and wednesday!
