The low end of the band, below about 730-ish has been nearly dead and real quiet. Here's my favorite, "Eagle 810", with 50,000 Watts from Tokyo. I catch them at the end of a spot break, followed by a station liner and into pop music.

Audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFe8bfxWOxU Here's KBS2 1170 with man and woman talking. Hear that guy undernearth them? That's Dr. DAvid Jeremiah from the 50,000 watts of KJNP 1170, 300 miles away. Usually, more often they blast in with no sign of KBS. Sometimes the two compete for the rights to 1170khz and not often, but sometimes KBS full takes over. One morning, I had KBS2 1170 in the clear, with no KJNP and a half hour later, KBS2 was gone and KJNP Was in the clear. Audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFTD71VVhDU 1242 JOLF was nearly perfect, heard with "All Night Nippon" jingle back into talk programming from the show.

These days I am lucky to hear one pirate at a time on The band, rather than two or three (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TAIWAN [non]. 7570, Jan 27 at 0100 on WRMI, usual VG signal aimed right across us, with the PCJ Radio International Chinese New Year special, at the publicized time and frequency (unlike 24 hours earlier, no-show on 11580). Keith Perron leads up to a drawing for a Sangean SW radio, among those who send in for an e-QSL with answers to which animal matches their birth year. Also there are five varieties of roosters, so that distinguishes 12 x 5 different cycles. 7730 // 6855 // 5850, UT Fri Jan 27 at 0708, WRMI is again playing `Viva Miami` in Spanish about Chequia, rather than `Media Network Plus` as on the skedgrid which axually runs consistently 24 hours earlier on Thu. 0715 into `World Music` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non].

(7490) webcast since I`m at the computer, UT Sat Jan 28 at 0120 from WBCQ, Allan Weiner is saying a number of projects are planned for this summer at Monticello, including something he can`t talk about that will change everything for shortwave radio, if it works (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7490, Jan 28 at 0227 as I tune past BS on WBCQ, he`s claiming to be on WRMI for 240 hours a day, and needs reception reports to evaluate what to do over the next year. Obvious very outdated playback, but who cares? At yearend he dropped from ten transmitters at a time (24 x 10 = 240) to approximately 4 (sometimes 5, sometimes 3 or 2). So must have concluded he was Overkilling on WRMI (tho some frequencies dropped in the daytime were the best ones). I`m not taking time to compute it, but would not be surprised if present usage via WRMI amounts to a lower multiple of 24, like 96 hpd (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5830, Jan 27 at 0435, WTWW-1 is distorted and splattering at least plus/minus 10 kHz, during PPP singing his adaptation into ``This land is His land ---``. Such a corruption and ``Rawhide`` [non] show up frequently (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 840, UT Jan 27 at 0420 UT, another try to ID the Spanish religious station here sometimes audible with WHAS nulled, having to put up with other CCI and IBOC noise from WCCO. It so happens that with LSB fine tuning in 40-Hz steps on the acceptably misaligned DX-398, these signals fall about halfway between, so I can`t get just-right demodulation. In a fade-up as I tune in during gospel huxter`s monolog about how he started an AM & FM station in Dec 2015. More than once he`s plugging for 33 (rich?) people to support his ministry (bet I know where he got that number), as it`s listener-supported and located in ``Mesa, Arizona`` --- so that fits for the 480-AC phone number previously copied, and which I hear again and again, so I am sure of it: (480) 467-4626, presumably belonging now to someone other than the Anglo woman one lookup led to. I still want to ID this by monitoring / research, but if all else fails, I`ll eventually phone him and ask which 840 station he` s on, KVJY Pharr TX? And he announces a second phone number, of which I am not so certain, (770) 989-4791. That AC is not Albuquerque, but suburban Atlanta GA, which makes no more sense on 840 kHz than (480) does. Into a fade at 0425 UT; back up somewhat at 0433 UT with a program ID ``--- radio`` and a website, neither of which I can copy, both given only once. No more fade-ups caught by 0500 UT Jan 27. 840, Jan 28 at 0240 UT another try. Worse reception tonight until 0300 UT; fade up a bit at 0253 UT can tell praise music is playing instead of verbal proselytizing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 0511 UT January 28 End of Hard-Core-DX Digest, Vol 169, Issue 28 *********************************************
