** CUBA. 4765, Feb 12 at 0142 tune-in to dead air on Radio Progreso. Comes back
at 0143 with song in English, ``I`ve Been Waiting So Long``! Not really, only
one minute, but I don`t know how much dead aired before 0142. Do they have a
self-deprecating sense of humor at RP? 5025 & 5040 on & nominal (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 9700, Feb 12 at 0129, JBA music, what? HFCC shows IBB in Uighur this
hour, presumably RFA, and subject to jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 6145, UT Sun Feb 12 at 0130, The Mighty KBC, over to Kim
for a sesquiminute Radiogram beepily celebrating World Radio Day, of which this
is the Eve (a stretch, UTly). 0133 fulfilling a request for a Phil Harris
novelty song with mystery bleeps never explicated. Got back to KBC just in time
to hear sharp 0200* cutoff after final music. Never heard any farts/references
from Uncle Eric, but must not have been listening at right times. Good signal
via GERMANY this week. From 0000 sometimes this has been for only one hour, but
lately two; depending on finances, I suppose (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6925-AM, Feb 11 at 2308, JBA carrier. Nothing at
this hour in HFUnderground, but earlier at 2050-2145 a station with dance music
was thought to be Liquid Radio.

6925.08-AM, Feb 12 at 0204, JBA pirate music at S6. Several logs here say it
was KCPR - Cowboy Pirate Radio
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,32823.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6940-USB, Feb 12 at 0122, soul music at S7-S8; 0136
unexpected talk under music said ``broadcasting from`` (?). 0137 pause for ID
``Wolverine Radio``, 0203 still music better at S9+5. Much better signal than
the other 43mb pirates, as usual. Many more detailed logs, amounting to
playlists:

** SPAIN. 9690, Feb 11 at 2214, REE still AWOL from North American frequency,
at least detectable on 11685, 15390, 15500 for elsewhere (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3245-USB, UT Sun Feb 12 at 0149, that Saturday night MARS-like net.
One guy is talking about ``blending three cultures``, i.e. AF, Navy and Army
MARS with slightly different ways of doing things. Navy MARS was of course
abolished a couple years ago; I`ve noticed that Air Force and Army seem to be
mixed together now. But strive to make it `professional`, not just amateur.
That said, may pat themselves on the back as ``no one else does it better``,
unfortunately making others look bad, but that`s their probllem. Mostly abbr`d
calls dispensing with prefices, but including AAA5R5, AAA5RX1, AAA5RD. Net
closing at 0201 but continues a few minutesmore with informal QSO about that`s
causing some fuses to blow (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7490.05-AM, Feb 11at 2218 tune-in, WBCQ is already on with classic
rock show, about Valens at the moment, being banned by the BBC, with British DJ
host, soon refers to http://2ngradio.com where such music is available 24/7,
``from both sides of the Atlantic``. Good signal this early, and VG modulation
and frequency response for the music, marred (enhanced?) only by some SW
selective fading distortion (and if to eliminate that you switch to SSB tuning,
it`s too narrow-band for good music). Listened to rest of hour instead of total
napping. He`s [email protected] Never heard of this before, and not European
Music Radio this week which also might occupy this slot for non-weekly
specials. Closes with 2ngradio.com jingle, WBCQ ID; 2300 into ``Ride of the
Valkyries`` theme of Pirate Joe`s `Shortwave Saturday Night` show. He seems
distracted, chops off theme abruptly, and is slow to get to any point; also
signal is starting to fade down now, but fortunately no BBC/Thailand
CCI or het. Meanwhile after 2300, 9330- is still in BS (and I forget to check
at 2330 for WOR), while 5130- is not yet on. Later I look up the 2ng website to
find this:
``2NG ON SHORTWAVE --- During the month of February, we will be transmitting
around the globe on Shortwave. The next 2NG hour will be as follows.
Saturday February 11th
North America WBCQ 7490 kHz 2200 UT 5 pm EST
North America WBCQ 9330 kHz 2400 UT (Su) 7 pm EST (Sa)
Sunday February 12th
Europe 292 6070 kHz 1300 UT 1400 CET
Feedback welcomed.
WELCOME
What is Atlantic Oldies 2NG? We're an Internet only radio station that plays
the greatest oldies that were hits on the radio stations, both here in America
and also over the pond. We play the finest memorable songs from the past and
bring back more memories per hour than any other radio station. Not only do we
play the ones that everyone else does! but we also delve deep into the charts
and play those number 38's and one-hit wonders! [. . .]
THE HUMAN BIT
Somewhere in the Metropolitan Washington, DC area at a secure datacenter sits a
rock-solid server, the hard drives keep whirring night & day pumping out great
hits on Atlantic Oldies 2NG. So, what gives and why oldies from two countries?
Well, that is easy, let me introduce myself, I'm Gorby, although you may hear
me "on-air" as Rick Ainley. Firstly I'm a Brit, who has lived in DC for the
last 15? years and isn't going anywhere just yet! I've always loved the music
when I grew up, although the Seventies decade was the first I can honestly
remember. . .``
I had no advance publicity about this, but pays to check 7490 Saturdays at
22-23, and Sundays at 21-22 for such specials. In fact, there is one coming up
Sunday:
``Radio Mi Amigo International North American Tests
>From an e-mail: "Radio Mi Amigo International will do some tests the next days
>to North America, here are the times and frequencys:
7490 kHz Sunday (Feb 12) 4-5 pm Eastern -> 9-10 pm UT [21-22 UT]
7490 kHz Wednesday (Feb 15) 8-9 pm Eastern -> Thu (Feb 16) [01-02 UT]
9330 kHz Saturday (Feb 18) 5-6 pm Eastern -> 10-11 pm UT" [22-23 UT]
That would be WBCQ -- Richard Langley, Feb 7, dxldyg via WORLD OF RADIO 1864``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5129.58-AM, Feb 12 at 0119, WBCQ is S9+5 here with joke in English
about an Indian brave and his betrothed, modulation a bit rough, soon ID as
Radio Azteca. That`s a pirate/show not on schedule now, subbing or within
`Radio Timtron Worldwide`. No hits on Azteca searching the entire WBCQ website.
Lots of logs of it as a true pirate from 2016, 2009y at HFUnderground. Name
seems to have nothing to do with Mexico (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5085, Feb 12 at 0207, WTWW-2 wasn`t on before 0200, but now starting
late `Theatre Organ from the Ozarx` (oops, that would make it TOFTO not TOOTO),
except this week Bob Heil is playing some tapes from his own archives of some
other performer in Ohio(?), some more old favorites, partly on piano. Another
enjoyable show at S9+40 but the spurs are not as strong as usual. Wraps up
about half an hour later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3195, UT Sun Feb 12 at 0207, WWRB is on again after usual 4-night
hiatus. After at least an hour of wacky conspiracies, now with bulegrass music,
0208 informal DJ, playing next ``Old Time Religion`` on Bluegrass Gospel
(program or sub-program title?). I would enjoy that too, but timing collides
with TOFTO on WTWW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Follow-up to a previous log:
``6855, Feb 4 at 0432, WRMI in Spanish with a fin-de-a?o special, announcing it
will also be repeated Jan 1 at 0500 on 9955, for ``Noche de San Silvestre``,
m?sica, S9+10, and // 5985 as usual at this hour, which is S9+35. Two guys in
Colombia are hosting; 0439 the only ID they give is for Radio Miami
Internacional. I had no advance notice of this whatsoever before NY Eve, but
mitigates not hearing much of special interest at that time. Perhaps this too
will keep repeating for six months? On the 5985 sked for Sat 0430 is Frecuencia
al D?a.``
Later, looking thru WRMI`s FB, I come upon this which seems like what I heard
Feb 4 at 0430, `Angloparade`, altho not normally scheduled then:
``December 29, 2016 ? ESPECIAL DE ANO NUEVO - WRMI NEW YEAR SPECIAL
Despida el 2016 y reciba el 2017 en compa??a del equipo de Angloparade y Las 15
con Chemas desde Bogot?, Colombia en exclusivo para WRMI Radio Miami
Internacional. Esc?chenos este 31 de diciembre y 01 de enero con una selecci?n
de tradiciones, saludos y m?sica latinoamericana para celebrar esta nost?lgica
y alegre ?poca del calendario. Todos los informes ser?n verificados con QSL.
D?jenos su mensaje a [email protected] o a nuestro WhatsApp +57 3014745658``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4070.45, Feb 12 at 0144, CW beacon GT, and frequency shifts a
little as my tuner does not. Now-standard remark about, where is it? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Sigh, fixing a few typos (none concerning numbers)
