** BIAFRA [non]. 15325, Dec 21 at 1508, poor S4-S6 carrier, presumably R.
Biafra`s latest channel, as now scheduled approx. 15-16 and 18-20 via BULGARIA
but Ivo Ivanov says there was nothing but music fill on Dec 7 and 10. Now I do
hear some talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 9490, Dec 21 at 0450, wall of noise jamming at S9+5 is still running,
altho R. Rep?blica via France must be off by now, no carrier amid the noise.
9565 also has pulse jamming at S8, long after R. Mart? is finished with this
frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6100, Dec 20 at 0458, RHC open carrier at S9+35, while English on 6165
is OK; shortly 6100 starts modulating in Spanish, not English but before 0500
has switched to English (0500 is the start time for 6100). 6060, meanwhile, at
0459 is S9+30 but JBM in English.
6060, Dec 21 0538, RHC English is S9+40 of dead air, or straining, just barely
modulated.
6000, Dec 22 at 0258, RHC English is suptorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** ERITREA [non]. 5950, Dec 20 at 0501, WRMIBS has some CCI weaker talk
underneath. Must be V of Tigray Revolution, from ETHIOPIA, in Aoki until 0530
(but not in HFCC) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5935, Dec 21 at 1427, music and YL talk in Japanese,
S5-S9 until 1435*, new frequency for Shiokaze, ex-5910 where I found nothing,
and QSY confirmed by Ivo Ivanov. Chris Greenway forwards a Japan Times story
that the government will be increasing funding for Furusato no Kaze in order to
add more frequencies next fiscal year (from April 1, presumably), no details
yet. This 1405-1435 daily broadcast of Shiokaze is believed to be a relay of
FnK, in addition to its original broadcasts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO
1857, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH. 1566 kHz, Dec 20 at 1339 I`m chasing again FEBC, HLAZ Jeju
Island, and there it is looping NW, 1342 music, and I am listening with offset
BFO for a carrier break, which happens for a few seconds at 1344:34 as the beam
is being changed from Japan to China. Distance from the 250 kW station is 10995
km or 6832 statute miles (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1857, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR. 5007.952vv, Dec 21 at 0250, S6 RNM is varying audibly as I tune
it with BFO, 0257 a song, gradually weakening as sun rises down there, to a JBA
carrier by 0324. Best on LSB tuning to avoid 5015 WRMIBSplatter; maybe that`s
why RNM is varying lower and lower from nominal 5010, hi, as it used to be up
as high as 5013. Tnx to tip from Stephen Wood in MA who was hearing it tonight
as early as 0210 varying 5007.98-5007.87. Also reported in this area last few
days by Ron Howard in CA, Art Delibert in MD, Wolfgang B?schel & Thorsten
Hallmann in Germany. On much earlier than 0300 sign-on as in WRTH 2017 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 6185, Dec 21 at 0328, XEPPM music mixing with VATICAN.
Clear at 0339 and sometimes the music modulation surges above usual low level.
Checking because Terry Krueger, Clearwater FL, had asked me at 0029 UT,
``What`s with 6185? Blowing in with real modulation? Nice ancient Mexi-folk
tunes`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 5792.00, Dec 21 at 0503, [Station YHWH] is here instead of
5790, S9 vs Xmas noise level of S8. Off at 0535 recheck.
5792.00, again Dec 22 at 0325, 0337, YHWH guy is JBA, at S9 = same level as
noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1857, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOMALILAND. 7120, Dec 22 at 0331, no signal yet from R. Hargeisa, but on at
0338 recheck, S6-S8 talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 12035, Dec 20 at 1409, VOT English service is not in English, but
Turkic language with stingers as if amid headlines, S4-S9; 1413 music, 1418
losing to 12050 WEWN splatter. Maybe discombobulated in aftermath of
assassination right there in Ankara? Assuming crossed feeds, only other
languages scheduled this hour in WRTH 2017 are Russian on 9410, Turkish on
11815, and Uighur on 13685.
12035.02, S3-S8, Dec 21 at 1405, Turkish songs so can`t tell yet if English,
Uighur, Turkish or Russian service. Finally at 1423, news headlines indeed in
English, less than one play of IS and off at 1425*.
11815.039, Dec 21 at 1530, Turkish talk at S9, as this is really TRT at 14-17
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7457-USB, Tue Dec 20 at 1406, AFA4LH calling Florida stations, lots
of replies and relays, ``closing time 1445Z``.
I last logged this AF MARS frequency Tue Jan 12, 2016 at 1405, also involving
Florida. Also 10 previous logs of 7457 going back to 2008.
Believe it or not, the only Google hit on call AFA4LH MARS is in the March 1993
issue of PopComm (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1856 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday December 20 at
0030 on WRMI, 7730, VG S9+30; not confirmed at same time on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB, no
signal (while 9265 WINB is a JBA carrier). Also confirmed Tue Dec 21 at 2130 on
WRMI 15770, good; also confirmed Tue Dec 20 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, fair more or
less over jamming; tnx a lot, Arnie! Not confirmed UT Wed Dec 21 at 0030 on
WBCQ 9330v-CUSB, no signal, (while 9265 WINB is JBA carrier; 7490 WBCQ is
audible, and 9955 WRMI is now VP). Also confirmed Wed Dec 21 at 1415.5 on WRMI
9955, S9+10, no jamming. Also confirmed Wed Dec 21 at 2200 on WBCQ 7490 and
webcast.

** U S A. 9955, Dec 21 at 2136, WRMI World Music hour is now confronting
moderately heavy Cuban jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, Wed Dec 21 at 1505, KVOH is still missing. 9975 evening
English has been gone since last spring, so now KVOH is totally off the air.
Maybe they are in final stages of activating long-delayed replacement
transmitter? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9930, Dec 21 at 2114, WTWW-2 again with distorted S9+30 Xmasmx
instead of Dave Ramsey show (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9275.049, Dec 21 at 2114, WMLK is still on with DEJOM intoning, P-F
S9+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1020, Dec 21 at 0528 UT, Spanish pentecostal gospel huxter overcoming
KOKP Perry OK, especially if I null it, typical of what KCKN Roswell NM used to
accomplish before it crashed. Making 3.5 Hz SAH = 210/minute. At 0531 UT, KDKA
makes it thru with ID and CBS News Update. AM Switch in NRC DX News post-dated
Dec 26 reports:
``STAs granted: 1020, KCKN NM Roswell ? Granted STA with U4(?) 1000/1000; bad
tubes in main transmitter`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1857, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1130, Dec 21 at 0524 UT, S9+40 signal in silly sports talk,
overcoming KMOX IBOC circa 1133. Playing ``Spanish Flea`` song in background.
Must be KWKH Shreveport LA on 50 kW ND day pattern, much more signal than we
normally get at night when it`s supposed to be a wide blob centered on SSW,
essentially nothing to the north (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1250, Dec 21 at 0519 UT, strange rappish song of syllables, including
``konichiwa`` a couple times, but not sure rest is Japanese; then songs in
Spanish and English, but more than one station mixing. 0521 UT fades in strange
language again, 0522 UT Spanish announcement re navidad, and English ad for
tickets at Little Rock Center, a venue? Or Little Rock Central, referring to
the notorious historic high school? So I will tentatively ID this one as KPZK,
2000/1200 watts U4, UC:AC format from Little Rock AR, per NRC AM Log (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1480, Dec 20 at 1355 UT, KBXD Dallas, Radio Salam Namaste W&M
chattering in Hinglish, something about banana chips (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1590, Dec 20 at 0513 UT, HPRN Sports report, including a Nazarene
girls` team, forecast hi today 56, lo 29 (obviously stale from previous morning
hours), fishing license PSA, 0515 UT High Plains Radio Network, AM 1590.
Therefore it is KDAV Lubbock TX, 1000/1000 watts U4. Some QRM from S Asian
music, KMIC Houston or WCGO Evanston IL? Also a low audible het (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 91.7, Dec 19 at 1428 UT on KOSU, Caught most of a report about a tiny
diamond radio, on NPR Morning Edition, viz.:
This Christmas Song Brought To You By The World's Tiniest Radio Receiver 2:35
[with audio]
http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/12/19/506151375/this-christmas-song-brought-to-you-by-the-worlds-tiniest-radio-receiver
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search Dec 20, UT:
1098-west at 1336, presumed V7AB Marshall Islands; only other is 1566, see
KOREA SOUTH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4863.97, Dec 20 at 0645, JBA carrier; Brasil? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4960, Dec 20 at 0643, open carrier at S5-S7. I guess it must be
VOA SAO TOME, again failing to modulate. Sunrise there is circa 0530 UT, almost
on the Equator, so could still be propagating, and nothing else audible on
frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

ETHIOPIA Two broadband WHITE NOISE jamming signals seen this Dec 22
afternoon:
>From 1503 UT jamming start on
7138 to 7151 kHz, and
7167 to 7182 kHz wide.
No Asmara Eritrea broadcast visible on air close to 7146v kHz,
but
visible was the other Eritrean on 7174.987 kHz,
combined jamming and ERI signals S=9 in southern Germany.
7235.820 ....x.840 kHz as usual variable wandered some 20 Hertz around,
S=9+10dB heavy signal heard in eastern Thailand remote unit.
Voice of Democratic Alliance in Tigre language.

UZBEKISTAN 7509.981 Voice of the Martyrs operates from 1530-1700 UT on
7510 kHz via a Tashkent transmitter. Today on low side at 1554 UT, S=9 in
Germany.
(wb df5sx, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Dec 22)
Also nearby an UNKNOWN OTHR signal 7533 to 7553 kHz, S=9+30dB
powerhouse. But seemingly some kind of jamming from mainland China, meant
against RFA Uighur sce from Orzu Tajikistan, scheduled 16-17 UT.
(wb df5sx, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Dec 22)
TAIWAN 7729.966 SOH Sound of Hope Chinese from Taiwan,

** AUSTRALIA. 9580 // 12085 // 12065, Thu Dec 22 at 1405, Radio Australia on
another Thursday opening the secret program `All in the Mind` from Radio
National; this episode guest is yet another American, Steven Cole of UCLA about
social genomix. This half-hour is still missing from the RA online program
schedule until `Babytalk` at 1430 Thursday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 12045, Thu Dec 22 at 0752, surprised to find local KCRC
silly sports talk here from 1390 --- surely caused by another overload mix on
the R75 --- it goes away if I switch from Preamp2 to 1 or no preamp. 12045
minus 1390 = 10655, but nothing there. Half-asleep, I miscalculated the plus so
did not check 13435, but that is a known HM01 spy numbers frequency as Ivo
Ivanov reported last June:
``0655-0750 on 13435 secret/hidden site (Bejucal) Spanish Tu/Th/Sa``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ERITREA. 7175, Dec 22 at 1357, S5-S7 HOA music from VOBME-2 intruder; also
JBA carrier circa 7146.55 from VOBME-1, long path when I am getting 7120
SOMALILAND much better. 7175 JBA carrier still audible at 1515, 1543 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOMALILAND. 7120, Dec 22 at 1356, S9-S6 carrier from R Hargeisa,
unmodulated, or just-barely? QRM at 1359 from a KA5 calling CQ. Better signal
now on long path than I was getting after 0330 short path. 7120 stays on until
1403:35*. Resumes circa 1500, so at 1515 recheck, JBA carrier and still at 1542
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TINIAN. 7195, Dec 22 at 1543, JBA carrier but much stronger than 7175
Eritrea. Must be RFA in Korean at 15-17, ex-7210. What`s IBB doing, invading
the worldwide hamband? No doubt the IARU intruder-watchers are on the case
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5129.752-AM, Dec 22 at 0739, S6-S7 VP signal with talk, WBCQ on a
backup transmitter? Usual one on ``5130`` has been on the high side lately.
Pirates might try to fool us by going on a real station`s frequency
after-hours, but at 0743 it`s an `Allan Weiner Worldwide` playback from before
Thanksgiving, talking with Tom Medlin, plugging his `Amateur Radio Roundtable`
Tuesdays at 9 pm ET on 9330. Allan refers to Tom as ``the Glenn Hauser of
amateur radio``! Recheck at 0758, first seems off, no, still on as JBA carrier
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7730 // 5850, Thu Dec 22 at 0733, WRMI in narration with music,
apparently `How the Grinch Stole Xmas`. Is that Keith Perron? This hour
continues to be unaccounted for on the schedule grid, other than `World Music`
on 7730, supposedly TOM on 5850. Recheck 7730 at 0748 just as it dumps off the
air, while 5850 continues with the ``rump-a-pump-pump`` carol. Quick check of
all the other WRMI frequencies finds them still nominal, mostly BS (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5830, Dec 22 at 0734, the S9+20 Dead Air Service of Scriptures for
America Worldwide on WTWW-1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12050, Dec 22 at 1407, WEWN Spanish is instead open carrier, dead air
except for big hum. Same at 1514. Not rechecked until 1721, when it is
Spanishing but still humming. It`s really amazing and disheartening how many SW
stations, including some in the USA, cannot achieve their basic mission of
transmitting and modulating clearly and reliably at the same time (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, Dec 22 at 1509, KVOH is back on after a week off, Spanish
preaching, S9+20 and stable rather than wobbly, different transmitter? No, I
then find this reply from Ray Robinson to my previous report:
``KVOH had an elusive fault with the 17775 kHz transmitter. Now fixed. Should
be back on Thursday with full 50 kW. Ray. Sent from my HTC One max on the
Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network`` (Glen Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search December 22, UT:
666-NW at 1333. Altho it loops appropriately for Japan or China, also seems a
bit unstable, so may be a birdie. No others in complete bandscan, not even
1566, except:
1098-W at 1336, surely the usual V7AB Marshall Islands, probably a bihour after
programming ceased, carrier staying on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4775, Dec 22 at 0735, weak carrier with some talk audible, vs
CODAR, still JBA at 0758. Either R. Tarma, Per?, or R. Congonhas, Brasil, both
of which are active. Unless 24h, the latter more likely where it`s already 5:35
am BDT. I should have precised the frequency, as Carlos Gon?alves, Portugal has
reported: ``4774.964 R. Congonhas, Congonhas MG, 2218-2228, 03/12, texto;
22331, QRM do PERU, em 4774.910`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6165, Dec 22 at 1351, a S Asian song by soprano, 1355 another
song with male voice. Hoping for Myanmar, but per Aoki this is a VERY congested
frequency in Asia: CNR6 in Chinese from Beijing; Vietnam-4 in Dao; Thazin Radio
in Burmese; and AIR in Sindhi from Delhi-Khampur site. The last seems most
likely. A better signal than many others on 49m from China (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
