** ALBANIA. 7475, Feb 14 at 0056, no signal at all from R. Tirana near end of
Albanian hour to North America. Yet Romania on 7410 is S9 and 7445 BBC Dari
from Woofferton is S9+25! The next broadcast is 0230 in English on 7475, so I
check that at 0232: nothing. Wolfgang B?schel has been monitoring more R.
Tirana SW broadcasts and concludes Shijak site has been completely off the air
for a few days now (but they are experimenting with more MW, to Europe, not us
of course). Altho we are advisors to RTSH, we have no info on the status or
plans for SW broadcasts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA. 6060, Feb 14 at 0112, Cuba missing, leaving very poor signal with
music, RAE? And het on lo side about 6059.75, Brasil? Again, NO signal on RAE
ATTW frequency which had long been varying a bit around 11710.6. There is
however, a JBA carrier on 11712.0 but could be a receiver birdie. I also had
zero signal around 15345v before 2400 Feb 13 nor recent afternoons, so still
suspect RAE is off the air except possibly 6060, which is too weak to be of any
use here. Could Argentine or other South American DXers please confirm whether
or not RAE is active on any of these frequencies?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15700, Feb 13 at 1427, CRI English relay is S9+10 but just barely
modulated. That`s the rule rather than exception, but sometimes worse than
others (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 17730, Feb 13 at 2234, RHC in French, while 15370 is in Spanish. So
the 2230 Sunday Esperanto before moving to 2130 on 15370, would have been on
17730 rather than 15370 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6060, Feb 14 at 0112, RHC is off, but maybe ARGENTINA q.v. is on.
6000 // 6165, Feb 14 at 0119-0122, RHC English, Juan is interviewing Prof.
Arnie Coro on the phone, ``a leaving radio legend`` ---- oops, he`s not
leaving, he`s living! And congratulating him, apparently because it`s World
Radio Day. Fidel allegedly visited RHC four times, and made the original
announcement to the world in April 1961 that RHC was on the air. This and other
historic recordings are being preserved in the RHC archives. Modulation on both
frequencies is decent for a change (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. 9490, Feb 14 at 0134, no Radio Rep?blica via FRANCE and hardly
any jamming either, so the DentroCuban Jamming Command must not be hearing it
either. What`s happened? Maybe funding hiatus. Europe is propagating e.g. from
9420 Greece at S7-S5, 9570 Albania at S9-S7. R.R. may have been gone for a
while without my noticing. Nominal schedule per WRTH and EiBi is 01-03 UT. Then
I check HFCC B-16 registrations, which rather strangely show 00-01 & 01-02
separately for entire season, plus 0200-0259 starting 12 February. 12 Feb is
the date for several other schedule changes by ISSoudun transmitters, notably
RFI itself (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 5060, Feb 14 at 0106, Chinese at S8, from PBS
Xinjiang. Therefore I seek the three other 60+ mb frequencies from Urumqi`s
other domestic service languages, and there they are but JBA carriers only:
4980, 4850, 4500, as Chinese is appropriately first-among-equals, ha2. 4800
carrier also, presumably Geermu, China. 4765 also carrier, trace of modulation
at 0110, suspect Tajikistan before Cuba signs on, rather than Brasil ? is
either ZY listed there active? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 9690-, Feb 13 at 0643, again no show of second VON frequency during
Hausa hour, but S9+20 on 7255-. Propagating from Africarea on 31m are: 9650
Guinea, 9915 Ascension (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7615, Feb 14 at 0233, JBA signal here, and I think I hear the
calm but strident tones of Mr YHWH, on a frequency where I previously found
him. Another one to check is 7550, where Dave Valko recently caught him (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Feb 14 at 0057, JBA carrier from R. Chaski, vs lite pulse
jamming, and splatter from 5990 Cuba. Since I found last night that their
autotimer had been reset earlier, tonight my ears are monitoring continuously
while my eyes are glued to the watch, to find it does cut off at new earlier
time of 0101:22*, so that will be the starting marker for a brand-new cycle of
~6.7 second latening per noctem (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 7340, Feb 14 at 0129, surprised to find RRI English here at S9+25,
since this frequency is supposed to be in Romanian. // English properly on 7325
at S9+35, also // 5960 at S9+30, concluding sports roundup. Fourth frequency to
N America is 5910 Romanian, which I should have tried for sure, but I think I
noticed it was in Romanian earlier when making another futile check for any
trace of Colombia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. 17895 & 17705 & 17615, Feb 13 at 1429, the three 16m
BSKSA frequencies are poor-fair, i.e. propagation is improving, and in fact
they are better than CUBA on 17580, 17730, 17750. By 1505 the SA triad are off,
and RHC is much stronger than before, S9+20 on 17750 but JBM, also 17730; and
17580 is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3269-USB, UT Tue Feb 14 at 0138, another MARS net, this one with
radiochex and/or relays among abbr`d calls 6VK, 6GE, 6RB and 6IN, calls
fonetikaly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 4041-USB, UT Tue Feb 14 at 0104, MARS net with radiochex among AFA7FA
> AAR7JT < AFA7BG, calls fonetikaly, indicating relative strengths (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1864 monitoring: confirmed UT Monday February 13 from
0401 on Area 51 webcast; at 0417 check on WBCQ 5130+, poor but listenable. Also
confirmed UT Mon Feb 13 after 0430 on WRMI webcast, while 9955 is but a JBA
carrier. Also confirmed UT Tue Feb 14 at 0043, the 0030 broadcast on WRMI 7730:
S9+20/30 but undermodulated. Strangely, this airing is habitually so, unlike
other 7730 programs, and unlike other WRMI/WOR airings. Also confirmed at 0055,
the 0030 UT Tue broadcast on WBCQ 9330.06v-CUSB, very poor S4. Next:
Tue 1200 WRMI 9955 to SSE, 6855 to WNW
Tue 2130 WRMI 15770 to NE, 6855 to WNW
Tue 2300 WRMI 9955 to SSE

Wed 2200 WBCQ 7490v to WSW
Thu 0030 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11580, Monday Feb 13 at 2235, WRMI with `Christian New Age Radio`,
sounds like same episode I have heard two or three recent Mondays at this time
altho not on schedule. Also on much weaker // 6855 & 5950. I write to Rev.
Frederick Moe about it, which will constitute the rest of this log:
``Still on WRMI --- Hello Rev. Frederick,
I`ve run across your Christian New Age Radio show a few times, but it seems to
be the same episode #2 (as you refer to previous pilot #1). Nor is it on the
WRMI schedule the last time I checked, but the time I hear it is 2230 UT on
Mondays, when three frequencies are carrying the same program (including mine,
World of Radio, at the same time on Fridays.) 11580 is by far the best, with a
good signal and no interference altho it is supposedly aimed NE from FL and I
am NW of there. Also on much weaker 6855 to the WNW and 5950 to the south.
I normally don`t spend time on religious shows, but yours is a refreshing
respite from the screaming preachers infesting so much of shortwave, including
much of the time on WRMI. Also enjoy the pleasant music.
Your name caught my attention immediately, since years ago we used to hear from
a SW/DXer named Fred Moe, and wonder if you are the same person??
Your outro also mentioned that the music just played had been Failing Dream;
and the homily came from The Liturgy. At the end, 2258 UT today February 13,
you mention QSL, so I would appreciate one, either to this e-mail address or by
postal to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. I was listening on my Icom
R75 with about 100 feet of east-west longwire.
I see in the WRMI server that your file is dated November 2, 2016, so
apparently you have not uploaded any further episodes. I wonder what happened
--- and if you are aware that #2 is still being played every week? Best wishes,
Glenn Hauser``
No reply yet (Glenn Hauser, UT Feb 14, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7490.06-AM, UT Tue Feb 14 at 0126, I remember that `From the Isle of
Music` is on WBCQ, good S9+30 signal now and no need to listen on webcast. I
enjoy the rest of the music via the good speaker of the PL-880 with reelout
antenna, while I continue bandscanning into the other ear on the NRD-545 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11815-12250, Feb 13 at 1415, at least this far extends the
spuriouscrap out of 12050 WEWN. So I send another note to Glen Tapley of WEWN:
``RE: 12050 causing severe interference
Glen, Again, lately it`s been even worse. This morning around 1415 UT, the
spurious blobnoise from 12050 could be heard as far down as 11815 and as far up
as 12250. Worst closer to 12050 of course, blocking Turkey on 12035. Also
QRMing Yemen on 11860. And many weaker signals in the area. Generally increases
the background noise level in much of the 25m band. With a second receiver I
could match the modulation peaks on 12050 with the spurious.
If you can`t get this transmitter back in order to transmit only within its
authorized 10 kHz bandwidth, it`s another one you should take off the air
permanently!
Did you have a good time in Jordan? Regards, Glenn Hauser``
His reply at 1744 UT: ``Glenn, Thanks for the info Glenn. Vandiver working on
it. Jordan was fruitful. Always great to engage with great friends and
colleagues. Glen Tapley | Engineering, Affiliate Relations | EWTN Global
Catholic Radio Network``
11860, YEMEN [non] much was fighting the WEWN hash at 1442. WEWN and its spurs
somewhat weaker at 1505. I didn`t get around to rechecking whether 12050
improved immediately or was taken off. But:
5810, Feb 14 at *0122 as I tune in, WEWN cuts carrier on the air, and Spanish
modulation some 30 seconds later, but cuts off and back on without modulation
at first. Presumably same transmitter as daytime on 12050, altho fortunately it
had not been blasting its band with spurs, but obviously having problems (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGESET)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1590, Feb 14 at 0147 UT, earnest YL preaching Christian stuff in
Spanish, dominating frequency for a while and slightly stronger on N/S than on
E/W antenna. Her ministerio is named Cristo Te Llama Hoy, and says it`s on FB
by that name. 0154 UT gives contact info including a P O Box somewhere in
Tejas, and her apellido is Herrera. 0155 UT to music and fadeout; 0159 UT
fade-in a bit, but no ID; 0200 UT fade in better with norte?a song, maybe hymn,
cut off at 0202 UT to intro next program, maybe mentioning Alma Viva, phone
number, and fade into QRM as I have to QRT, without getting a DF on the DX-398.
Also a persistent het on low side, maybe KWBG IA as in DXLD 16-15.
First thought is KMIC Houston, but as we discovered a few months ago, it
flipped from R Aleluya to Asian. The only other Texan Spanish religionist in
NRC AM Log is: KDAE Sinton 1000/500 U4, address Corpus Christi and // Radio
Libertad.
Now for the research. The main FB page by that name says it`s in El Salvador,
with nothing much on it, but URL automatically inserts a dot: /cristotellama.hoy
Searching on KDAE leads to this:
http://www.radiolibertad.net/spanish/radioschedule.htm
of which 1590 is the only AM station, plus a bunch of Texas FMs, but program
sked does not match what I heard, tho it has a female pastora. This may well
require further monitoring.
Adding Herrera to search on "Cristo te llama hoy" leads to someone named Hna.
Madai Herrera:
https://es-la.facebook.com/herrera.madai/
which guess what, is on R. Aleluya, so that takes us back to KMIC Houston,
including this item from a week ago at the SAME time:
``Cristo Te Llama Hoy/Hna.Madai Herrera 7 de febrero a las 5:15 ?
#BuenosDias ??
Este es el tema que compart? ayer en la radio. Es mi deseo que pueda ser de
bendici?n a sus vidas. Y si lo es por favor comp?rtelo con alguien que no ha
entregado su vida a Cristo. Hubo Cambio, Madai Herrera, Radio Aleluya 88.1FM -
Programa Cristo Te Llama Hoy, 6 de Febrero del 2017, Lunes 7:30pm, PO Box 3262,
Pasadena, TX 77501``
So is KMIC still Radio Dabang, or not, or partly that and partly Aleluya?? The
latter still claims to be on 980 and 88.1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

Nothing ON AIR, today Febr 14, around 0930-0950 UT:
not SW 7390v kHz from Shijak Albania.
But heard some three co-channels on mediumwave 1395 kHz:
strongest 1394.974, that could be probably Fllaka RT outlet
at much central Europe 'fade-out time' 0950 UT
here in southern Germany.
Others weaker some poor 'dim light' radio hobby players from Holland or UK ?
1394.992 and 13095.008 kHz at 0950 UT.

** ALBANIA. 7475-, Feb 15 at 0225 and 0240 chex, still no signal from R.
Tirana. Romania in French is audible on 7410, i.a., and China via Albania is in
well on 9570 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA [non]. 11710.6v, circa 0140 Feb 15, again tonight no trace of a
RAE signal; and weak het on 6060 may not involve RAE either. RAE, of course,
never appears in HFCC, but what else might be on 6060 at 0112? HFCC B-16 does
show: VIRI in Arabic from Zahedan at 2100-0230, and CNR Chengdu at 2155-0135.
Wolfgang B?schel also replies:
``Checked 6060 kHz channel last night Feb 13, at 2314 UT on remote unit in
central Florida: 6060.002 strongest VIRI Zahedan in Arabic at S=9+20dB level.
Underneath Brazilian SRDA on 6059.763 kHz very odd fq channel. Nothing could be
traced like RAE Buenos Aires at this hour so far``
Meanwhile, I had posted this to the condiglista yg: ``No escuchamos nada en las
frecuencias de la RAE, 15345v ni en 11710.6v, aunque tal vez en 6060. Por favor
los diexistas argentinos o sudamericanos averig?en si la RAE est? totalmente
fuera del aire o no? Gracias. Guilleremo Glenn Hauser``
I got this reply from Gabriel G?mez on a related subject:
``Estimado Glenn, saludos desde Montevide?. A mediados de Enero en encuentro
personal con Arnaldo Slaen del programa Actualidad DX.com.ar me notific? que
debido a problemas en el servicio se estaba pensando arrendar tiempo de emisi?n
en WRMI. Con la finalidad de potenciar salida y ampliar alcance de emisi?n. 73``
Well, Arnaldo`s other DX program, La Rosa de Tokio, has several hours on WRMI
already. I gather that Actualidad DX is of widely variable lengths, which would
make it difficult to schedule into automation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** BANGLADESH. 15505, Feb 14 at 1358, JBA carrier from presumed Bangladesh
Betar about to open Urdu service. I`ve sometimes checked for this all winter
but no luck; now with equinox looming, we hope for even slightly improved
trans-polar propagation, as I am eager to get enough strength to capture and
reconfirm their traditional mistimesignals (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11854.95, Feb 15 at 0142, JBA carrier from R. Aparecida: now
drifting down again after accomplishing a reset to 11855.01 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6000, Feb 15 at 0152, RHC is S9+25/30 but just barely modulated in
English, which is often the case, while the only // at this hour, 6165 is S9+50
with OK mod (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 9490, Feb 15 at 0144, no signal from R. Rep?blica, and no
jamming either. But recheck at 0201, now a wall-of-noise atop a detectable
carrier from FRANCE. So it seems that R.R. is now starting at 0200 as in HFCC,
but contrary to that has also dropped the 01-02 hour (and was it ever at 00-01?
Maybe during DST); and is it really only one hour now until 0259? Haven`t
checked when it stops, but remnant pulse jamming is often audible well into the
wee hours (horitas?) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9420, Feb 14 at 2110, VOG is S9+10 with Greek music, mostly songs
for rest of hour, just right to accompany my nap. // 9935 carrier detectable in
huge splash from 9930 WTWW. 9420 also often stops the memory scan on the BST-1
caradio around this hour when I am not dozing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525.940, Feb 14 at 1407, VP carrier from VOI, presumably in
Indonesian now and English before 1400. A week ago Ivo Ivanov had found it back
on their almost +1 kHz off-frequency after a spell slightly below 9525.000,
presumably a different transmitter. Atsunori Ishida, http://rri.jpn.org notes
that Feb 5 was the first day on 9526 ex-9525 (rounded off), and has been heard
at least part of the +09-21 UT span every day since, except Feb 11. E.g. on Feb
13 not heard after 1109* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR. 5008v, Feb 15 at 0148, no signal here nor hetting 5010 Cuban
leapfrog now always audible when both 5040 and 5025 are on from same site. Ron
Howard was getting around ``5010.78v, R. Madagasikara, 1518-1532, Feb 14``
reactivated, by long path and we should also get the morning broadcast by short
path in the 02/03 UT period. But not heard tonight before I quit circa 0230
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7615, Feb 15 at 0223, Station YHWH is here again tonight,
S9-S8 with a passage I recognize as heard before, nixing holidays. Was not on
at previous bandscan before 0200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 7340, Feb 15 at 0152, RRI in proper language Romanian // 5910,
unlike 24 hours ago when 7340 was in English by mistake, making 3 frequencies
in that // 7325 & 5960 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 9690, Feb 14 at 2107, REE reactivated, VG signal with silly ballgame,
while JBA on 11685, poor on 15390, 15500. I think this is first day North
American channel is back after latest outage (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 12035, Feb 14 at 1420, VOT music, hurried headlines in English to
close European service, and 1425 to IS with presumed Kazakh IDs interspersed,
until finally cut off at 1429:10* --- so Emirler must still hustle to get
Kazakh frequency 9785 up and modulating by 1430:00. WEWN has fixed the 12050
spurblobs, for now, see U S A, so VOT is QRM-free today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 4036-USB, Feb 15 at 0211, MARS net with abbr`d calls, all fonetik,
including R5M, 5R3, and AAA5R2 about sending traffic.
4041-USB, another MARS net 5 kHz away, Feb 15 at 0210, first sending digital
file; then reciting a roster presumably of stations which have checked in
tonight, fonetikaly: AAA7JO is the NCS, 7JU, 7DP, AFA7BG, 7BP, 7AC, AFA7KO,
7NE, and one then heard, 7JV (evidently the ones without AFA- are AAAs, or
AARs?) At 0214 NCS says A7A is now a free net. Radiochex follow between 7GH and
7JO, then sending digital test message (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 10000, Feb 14 at 1404, WWV is announcing during this minute every
hour that due to an upgrade it will be off the air from all frequencies Feb 21
& 22 (Tue & Wed) starting at 14 UT for not more than 8 hours each.
That will be a chance for us to hear some other SFTS stations, e.g. is LOL
ARGENTINA really active? STFT Sked per WRTH shows 14-15 M-F only on 10000 with
2 kW. Of course, WWVH will still be running.
5005.19, Feb 15 at 0148, WWV is putting a spur here with tix audible, but
disappears at 0149 after minute announcement. I was preparing to look for
reactivated Madagascar, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1864 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday February 14 at 2130
on WRMI 15770, S9+10 and // 6855 JBA. Also confirmed Tue Feb 14 at 2300 on WRMI
9955, holding its own against protracted wall-of-noise jamming against Radio
Libertad; tnx a lot, Arnie! Also confirmed JBA, UT Wed Feb 15 after 0030 on
WBCQ, 9330v-CUSB. Next:
Wed 1030 WRMI 5850 to NW, 6855 to WNW
Wed 1415.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE, 6855 to WNW
Wed 2200 WBCQ 7490v to WSW
Thu 0030 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5130.08, Feb 15 at 0146, WBCQ is open carrier/dead air, still so at
0203 check. As nothing else is scheduled, this time would have been filled by
Brother Scare (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12050, Feb 14 at 1415, 24 hours after the horrible spur field WEWN
was outputting, it`s back in whack, bandwidth from 12050 greatly reduced. So I
thank Glen Tapley:
``Glen, 24 hours later, 1415 UT today, greatly improved. Just about 15 kHz
bandwidth as received and no further spurs. Much weaker Turkey in the clear on
12035. Please keep it up! I would assume 5810 at night is same transmitter as
12050 in daytime, but it has not displayed such wideband spurious problems. Is
it really a different transmitter? I did notice it was having off & on
problems. Glenn`` -- and he replies:
``The 12050 is in a high band and 5810 on low band. Two distinct transmitters.
Thank you for informing us of the issue. Glen`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1590, Feb 15 at 0140 UT, another try to mail down the Spanish
religion here which last night appeared to be coming from KMIC Houston, back in
Spanish after a South Asian format. Don`t get much, but some gospel music and
talk; at 0158 UT mentions La Virgen Mar?a, Catholic rather than Pentecostal or
Hindu keywords. Then arrives this clarification from our DXLD correspondent in
Houston, tnx Stephen:
``Glenn, it appears KMIC 1590 is back to Radio Aleluya, Spanish language
religion. Radio Dabang had been on 1590 for several months with South Asian
programming, after moving off KLVL 1480.
KLVL launched a new FM translator on 95.3, which went on the air with South
Asian programming a couple of weeks ago. I discovered that it was Radio Dabang,
// to both KLVL 1480 and KMIC 1590. Now it seems that Radio Dabang has dropped
1590 in favor of the FM signal and its poorer AM counterpart.
At a 0300 check February 15, KMIC 1590 was // to sisters KJOZ 880 and the local
88.1 FM, but NOT // to siblings KQUE 980 or KRCM 1380 (apparently running more
than authorized 50 watts at night, but much less than the 22 kW day power;
perhaps using directional array instead of ND?)
I will do some more checking to see if 1590 is fulltime Radio Aleluya or
splitting time with something else.
The KLVL 1480 day signal is decent, but the night signal starts dying west of
downtown Houston, and is buried in the co-channel pileup outside of West Loop
610. The 95.3 translator gets out farther with an east-west directional signal
that protects LPFM KEPH on the south side of the metro area and an unbuilt LPFM
in NE Harris County. Co-channel KTTF in Tomball (NW Harris County) has had
some of its southeastern coverage area clipped by the translator.

UNIDENTIFIED. 1521.0, Feb 15 at 0230, carrier making quite audible tell-tale
het against 1520.0 KOLM/KOKC, no doubt BSKSA signifying trans-Atlantic
propagation is open. But nothing detected on several other lower split
frequencies checked. So I try longwave again:
At 0231-0232 UT Feb 15, I finally get some JBA trans-Atlantic LW carriers on
162, 198, 207, 216 kHz on the NRD-545 and ALA-330S, with no sign they are NDBs,
altho some higher LWBC channels are beacon-blocked. 216 is strong enough to DF
on the DX-398 as from NE. I was a bit surprised at 162 as France is presumably
running much reduced power now just for phase-modulated timesignals. 198 would
be BBCR4, 207 Iceland (but no 189), 216 Monaco/France. Or Morocco is also
listed on 207, but nothing heard on 171 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
