If you?ve ever thought you might like to work as a monitor, here?s your
chance:
https://erajobs.state.gov/dos-era/vacancy/viewVacancyDetail.hms?_ref=mfeyqmx3pt0&returnToSearch=true&jnum=13139&orgId=9
This is for a position in Vienna, Austria and the only ?kicker? is that
you need a work permit for Austria [EU, US expats and some TCNs] AND a
?good working knowledge? of German.

Rich,
Tnx for your reports. A few comments: could you include the transmitter site
countries? 5900 is Bulgaria, 5980 Austria.
4885, at that hour another Brazilian would be far more likely than from Korea
in the daytime there. Radio Clube do Para dominates, but there is another one
too.

** CANADA. 2598-USB, Jan 19 at 0648 UT again I am hearing a roboyl
marine weather broadcast in English at a time when none scheduled at
http://dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm
nor at
https://www.hfunderground.com/wiki/Maritime_Weather_Transmissions
- and the Canadian CG website seems to have deleted its once-extensive
scheduling of these. Mentions storm warnings, 0652 for northern Grand
Banx, then for southeastern G.B. Forecasts extend to Monday morning.
Visibilities often one mile or less. Also again there is a slight
reverb on her voice, either self-imposed from one transmitter, or from
two slightly unsynchronized transmitter sites. All the listed 2598
broadcasts are from six stations in Newfoundland & Labrador, or
adjacent Quebec (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15140, Jan 19 at 1505, S9+10 of dead air except for one
syllable which breaks thru; wiggle that patchcord! OK on 15230, 11760.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13568, 13634, 13767, 13834, 13901, 13967, 14033, 14100-trace,
approx., spurblobs out of RHC 13700, readable both in FM and AM but
not SSB, and with the F# tone in FM, progressively weaker toward the
outskirts where only the tone may giveaway. Now intruding into 20m
hamband where maybe some of them will notice and complain; to CO2KK?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2017 monitoring: not confirmed on
WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, nominal time 0415 UT Sunday January 19: checked
at 0427, 0452, 0509, 0533, 0558, 0630, various ham news shows. Did WOR
play before 0400, after 0630, or never? Next:
2130 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to NE
0130 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE
0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE, 9395 to NNW

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9330.0, Jan 19 at 1550, WBCQ-6 still off the air. Allan has
twitted nothing more about this blown screen bypass capacitor since
Jan 17, even in a new one today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1090, UT Sunday Jan 19 at 0702, KAAY LR AR again in dead air
until gospel music start at 0705. At least they are not totally
haywire like last weekend. No sign of an harmonic on 2180 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 2182-USB, Jan 19 at 0636, YL voice JBA briefly, nothing
further for a minute. Since hearing a prolonged AM carrier here I pay
more attention to this once-important maritime calling and distress
frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7421.6-USB, Jan 19 at 1552, 2-way in Spanish, not
exactly intruding, but too close to Chinese on 7420-AM, i.e. CNR1
jamming RFA via Tajikistan, and tough luck for PBS Nei Menggu, Hohhot
839 site which ought to have 7420 to itself (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9667.4, Jan 19 at 0154, Brazuguese from Voz Mission?ria
noted in quick bandscan jumped way further off frequency than usual
circa 9664.9; fair signal. JBA carrier on 9818.6 presumed R. 9 de
Julho. Both refined at 0330: 9667.478v and 9818.633 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CHINA. 9415, Jan 18 at 2320 some country music adjacent to 9420
Greece, 2322 Vietnamese talk, lite long/short path echo. It`s CRI
Beijing site this hour only, 500 kW at 193 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CUBA. 6000 & 6145, Jan 18 at 0650, RHC English JBM; 6100 better,
5040 better yet, and 6060 also now in English and best by far of The
Cuban Five. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13326-trace, and progressively stronger FM/AM spurblobs at
68-70 kHz intervals circa 13394, 13462, 13532, 13601, 13677, Jan 18 at
2330 out of RHC 13740, with some matchers on the plus side circa
13809, 13880, 13947. Obviously same transmitter which does the same
thing most mornings when parked on 13700; and when 13740 is also on
the air from a different non-spurring unit. 13740 fundamental is
rather irregular in the evenings, and not heard at all a couple hours
later. It`s been a long time if ever since I`ve found a tarde spur
constellation like this on 13 MHz band. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SAO TOME E PRINCIPE. 6080+, Jan 18 at 0648, rap music, must be VOA
relay as always significantly off-frequency+. Yes, 03-07 UT English in
three segments, 138 degrees until 05, then 20, and from 06, 0. Antenna
changes from type 156 to 106 at 0500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960, Sat Jan 18 at 2300+, no signal from VOT English to N
America, so no chance for 2400 German either. Something`s always wrong
at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Jan 19 at 0100 I notice that theatre organ
music is playing already, instead of usual 0130v start on WTWW-2; soon
I switch to $tereo webcast. Final tune is ``Mr Sandman``, until 0133.5
finishes with ID and into ``real music``. I have yet to hear a
specific *name* for this show now out of Ozarx (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A [and non]. 1090, Jan 18 at 0659 UT, finally I tune in KAAY LR
AR early enough to tell what happen around hourtop: gospel song is cut
short for full legal ID proudly claiming to be a Cumulus station; two
or three PSAs, 0701 quick ID again and into dead air for four minutes
until 0705 resumes music.
Meanwhile I find main QRM is from a 96/minute SAH = 1.6 Hz, not XEAU
which is also barely audible, but something with stupid sports talk in
English, roughly NE/SW, which also means there is still a TA carrier
1089 het from Talksport UK. Format can`t be Catholic KEXS MO daytimer
which anyhow hasn`t been cheating lately. Most likely fit around that
axis is KVOP Plainview TX, U4 5/0.5 kW which is partially sportive
with FSR but supposedly nulling thisaway; not WBAL or the IL, IN, IA,
1090 stations; but there is less likely WCAR Livonia MI, U4 250/500
watts with SBN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1120, Jan 18 at 0710, KMOX St Louis with `Our American
Stories`, an engrossing and touching one. On UT Sats this is scheduled
1-5 am = 07-11 UT, while Mon-Fri it`s only 2-4 am = 08-10 UT. Details
of this nightly bihour of ``no politix``:
https://www.ouramericannetwork.org/recent_shows
KMOX has quite a variety of programming beyond a*s*o*e Rush;
https://kmox.radio.com/shows/show-schedule
-- even `Meet the Press` Sundays 8-9 pm = UT Mondays 02-03, which last
I checked was on a competing network. I guess such distinxions no
longer matter. No sign of `Face the Nation`! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
