ETHIOPIA Nothing heard around 7235v ... 7236.642 kHz fq.
All others from ETH on air, all S=7 signal average, only 5950 kHz is tronger
at S=8-9 level. Seemingly Gedja antenna favours the azimuth out signal
towards Doha Qatar on that channel.
At this hour grayline is across Istanbul - Athens,
nightline across Monaco Riviera - Algiers.
6109.999 Radio Fana, Oromo progr, HoA mx, S=7 at 0525 UT in Doha Qatar.
6090even right Radio Amhara in Amharic lang, S=7 at 0531 UT Jan 13, guitar
string instrument like music program.
6029.997 Radio Oromiya in Afar, S=7 at 0534 UT on Jan 13, people singer
chorus, and followed by HoA string instrument mx at 0536 UT.
5949.999 Vo Tigre Revolut progr at 0541 UT on Jan 13, little stronger than
the others S=8 to mainly S=9...
BRAZIL In order to check 6090 kHz channel,
when Anguilla unit is OFF THE AIR at present,
noted here both programmes
- Ethiopia on even 6090 fq channel, and
- Radio Bandeirantes at S=6 signal at 0553 UT on Jan 13:
6089.961 kHz exact measured.
SUDAN 7205.001 Sudan Radio Omdurman, S=9+20dB at 0545 UT on Jan 13, but
only LOW MODULATION.
To be heard anything of their transmission on the remote SDR in Doha Qatar,
I switched OFF the AGC automatic option,
and used the volume slider by hand.

** AUSTRALIA. 9580, Jan 13 at 1338, no bigsig from RA as usual, and at first
feared it off, but still there at very poor level, suffering from 9570 CRI/Cuba
splash. MUF must be depressed, and no signals making it on 12085, 12065 (while
12050 WEWN is even JBA). By 1407, 9580 music has improved to S9-S5 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9674.895 approx., Jan 13 at 2237, JBA talk probably in Portuguese,
from R. Can??o Nova, Cachoeira Paulista SP, recently reactivated and so missed
any listing in the WRTH 2017 even as double-daggered for inactive or
single-daggered for irregular (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 9230, Jan 13 at 1342, JBA carrier. Aoki shows this is a
*jammed Sound of Hope frequency from Taiwan. Others in the vicinity at various
lengthy possible hours are 9100, 9155, 9180, 9200, 9255, 9280 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15230, Jan 13 at 2304, RHC news sounder and Portuguese, S9+20 but
quite undermodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 7355, Jan 13 at 1338, RNZI in clear today, no CCI from KNLS,
which must have radiated elsewhere, or propped out.
[and non] 17675, Jan 13 at 2305, RNZI is VP at S3 = QRN level, on its
summer-only early-afternoon frequency, now scheduled at 2259-0258 daily in AM
only, preceded and succeeded by 15720. For comparison, 17840 Australia is
slightly stronger, S5-S4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5403.5-USB, Jan 13 at 2253, QSO from one ham with rough modulation on
a ``60m`` discrete frequency, about freezing rain, complaining about how his
university employer says people should report to work, but not if the weather
is too bad, so which is it? CYA. Call sounds like WB9BZZ, but the B`s could
have been D`s lacking any fonetix, and no combination works in ARRL lookup. His
contact, however, W0DMT leads to RUSHING, KEITH L, W0DMT, GRANDVIEW, MO 64030.
The 9er should be over in Illinois or Wisconsin.
5371.5-USB, Jan 13 at 2257, another ``60m`` QSO is here, but not pursued, and
no phone axion on any of the other discrete channels (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1860 monitoring: not confirmed UT Saturday
January 14 at 0030 on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB, no signal (7490 is fair, 5130 not on

** U S A. 5850 // 6855 // 7730, Friday January 13 at 0727 check, WRMI with
World Music on all three of them, rather than Media Network Plus, which
continues to appear UT Thursday at 07-08, not Friday as on schedule. It also
shows 06-07 UT on 5850 and 7730 at least with blank spaces except for Friday
0600-0630.
6855, Fri Jan 13 at 2229, WRMI wrapping up `Frecuencia al D?a`, and found //
weaker 5950 and stronger 11580, in extended variety programming block. 2230 all
go to World Music for a semihour; after ``WNYW``-style ID at 2259, 11580 splits
off for a new `Viva Miami`, Jeff y Tha?s White in Spanish discussing their
pre-Xmas trip to Portugal; while 6855 and 5950 continue more World Music,
including appropriately, the fado in rotation.
9955, Fri Jan 13 at 2230 with wall-of-noise jamming, presumably still against
WRMI`s Radio Libertad prepeat which is not revealed on the schedule, but the
Commies certainly know about it. At 2300 something in English vs slightly less
jamming, which would be Media Network Plus as scheduled.
7780, Jan 13 at 2243, WRMI is on with Overcomer. The sked grid as of January 9
now shows it`s XMTR 9, 22-12 UT at 151 degrees, while 15770, which used to be
the same transmitter at 12-22, is now XMTR 3, 44 degrees, at 12-22, all TOM
except variety programming at 21-22.
As of UT Jan 14, here`s in text form what the graphic transmission skedgrid
shows for 6855, and comparing it to same Systems on other frequencies, which
should be // during each block:
0000-0030 H AWR = 5950
0030-0100 F Slovakia = 11580, 5850
0100-0200 D variety = 11580
0200-0230 D Ukraine = 11580
0230-0300 H Prague = 11580
0300-0400 L Taiwan Spanish = 5985
0400-0430 K Japan Spanish = 5985
0430-0500 F variety = 5985
0500-0600 B variety = 9955
0600-0700 B variety [really mostly music // 5850 7730]
0700-0800 D variety = 5850 7730
0800-1000 B [?? no // shown but maybe still = 5850 7730?]
1000-1100 F variety = 5850
1100-1200 H AWR = 5950
1200-1500 B variety = 9955
1500-2000 B [??, as 9955 is back to TOM, but not 6855?]
2000-2100 D variety = 11580
2100-2200 D variety = 15770
2200-2300 D variety = 11580, 5950
2300-2330 H AWR = 5850
2330-2400 H Prague = 5850

please let us know (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Station TX. But NRC AM Log shows no FM // for it. So how about WNRP Pensacola
FL (CoL Gulf Breeze)? No FM for it either in Log. Yes, WTFDA FM Database, which
