Likewise all three // with `World Music` at 0714 Wed Jan 11. Skedgrid shows 0600-0800 on 5850 & 7730 with blanks for most of 06-07, variety 07-08 (and 5850 with another two hours of unknown System D content at 08-10, while 6855 is System D at 06-07; but 6855 as System B at 05-07 & 08-10, i.e. like 9955, but is it BS or not, any more, at those hours??) 9955, Jan 10 at 2100, WRMI with TOM // 11825. For some weeks the 21-22 hour on 9955 had instead been filled with `World Music`. What`s on 6855 now? Too weak JBA carrier to tell. 11580, Tue Jan 10 at 2130, WRMI with `Frecuencia al D?a`, one of its multiple airings, this one ex-13695 (while WOR is still on 15770). 6855, Tue Jan 10 at 2300, WRMI now with the AWR Spanish program from and to Cuba, originally on // 5950 only. Meanwhile, WOR is on 9955. 6855, Wed Jan 11 at 1207, DX program in Spanish about RNE, // weaker 9955, where Antena DX is scheduled. So I am confident 6855 will also be // 9955 during the World of Radio broadcasts Thu at 1230 & Tue at 1200. 11580, Wed Jan 11 at 2014 tune-in, `WNYW` style WRMI ID plays, 2015 music presumably `World Music`. The sked grid shows for 20-21 UT, only on Wed a blank hour, but something else must have run from 2000 to 2014, like `Viva Miami`, for a quarter-hour ID to fire. Skedgrid now shows 11580 with System D additionally at 2200-2400, but no details yet. That means non-BS variety of programming. Wed Jan 11 at 2200 it sounded like one of those European relays in English, this hour also // 6855. As of Jan 12, the WRMI transmission grid (but not the program grid) confirms much of our 6855 monitoring observations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1860, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9275+, Jan 9 at 1924, WMLK is on with DEJOM. Also Jan 10 at 2120, DEJOM at S9+10, obviously off-frequency+plus, making het with BFO on 1 kHz step tuning, so I downpin it to 9275.048. Seems nominal sked is until 2200 but sometimes off earlier. Also heard on 9275+ Jan 11 at 2013, fair signal but undermodulated DEJOM = deceased Elder Jacob O Meyer, WMLK founder, and hardly any non-deceased voice is ever broadcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** VATICAN. 7250, Tue Jan 10 at 0742, sounds like VOA news, American accent about Sen. Sessions --- NO, it`s Vatican Radio since next item is about Pope Francis. NO English scheduled here now, instead only on 15595 at 0730-0745 except Sundays. Further checking sked, 7250 has Arabic to NW Europe(!) at 0745-0805 daily except Sunday, so another example of slipshod operation at SMG, turning on transmitter early with wrong program (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ZANZIBAR. 11735, Jan 10 at 2055, Ungujan music from ZBC until cutoff at 2100.4* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 6090-v, Jan 11 at 0717, in the absence of Anguilla, two JBA carriers beating slightly on the low side. One of them is constantly varying about 6 Hz from the other, so I don`t get a steady tone with BFO. Ethiopia is supposedly in a break from 06 to 09 (and too far into the dayside), leaving R.

About equal levels adding up to S9 to S9+10. I`m not the first to notice this clash, which seriously appears to be by KNLS, which is supposed to stop 7355 at 1300*, just in time for *RNZI. It does have Chinese scheduled at 1300 on both transmitters, 9655 designated Channel 61, and 9680 as Channel 6 on this undated schedule: http://www.knls.org/broadcasting-front.html Meanwhile, 7355 is designated channel 51 --- what`s this channel business? Meaningless to anylistener, probably in-house terminology, and mixing up 51 with 61 might account for punching in the wrong frequency for the 1300 broadcast! The KNLS Chinese page, http://www.smzg.org/home/ however, claims the 1300 broadcast is on 9655 and 9920, which appear to have been the A-15 frequencies. By 1404 recheck, RNZI is clear on 7355 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ANGUILLA. 6090, Jan 12 at 0040 check, University Network is still silent.

Good for a while rather than St Joe or San Antonio, just after hearing 540 CBK and before hearing 750 CKJH; see separate logs. CJOB is 50/50 kW U4, both day and night patterns going N/NNE, little or nothing to the south, yeah, sure (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CANADA. 750, Jan 12 at 1330 UT, nulling KOAL UT, I get another station in English, obviously Canadian referring to km, highway 345(?), provincial news, Battleford, Prince Albert, high temperature minus 26, yourtownnews.ca which in turn is connected to CK750, as CKJH in Melfort, Sask. is branded, linking to http://www.ck750/com and plug a pizza party. One YL seems to be doing all the announcing, news and commercials. Need USB tuning to avoid 740 KRMG splash. CKJH day pattern is ND; night pattern mostly to the north (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CANADA. 3330-CUSB, Jan 12 at 0710, CHU timesignals confirmed, but inaudible on 7850 --- has been having some transmitter interruptions, but in the nightmiddle, 7850 could still be on and not propagating. 7850-CUSB, Jan 12 at 1309, now 7850 is in at S9+, but nothing audible on their third frequency, 14670-CUSB, which like 7850 at night, could still be on but not propagating even in the daytime. 3330 is also still audible at S4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KOREA SOUTH. 9100, Jan 12 at 1407, JBA carrier with flutter. Presumably Echo of Hope on new frequency since Jan 1 per Aoki, heard by Ron Howard yesterday // 4885 around 1400 altho initial schedule was 1755-2400 only; also watch out for Sound of Hope, Taiwan and/or ChiCom jamming which may also appear on 9100.

Even tho it`s right on the border, with the DF much more ``interior``). Good signal now but hardly a border blaster any more, and USA is no help allowing lots of low-power CCI. Still claims and listed as 100 kW, but Jerry Kiefer, ex-KBXD, tells me: ``HI Glenn, Mike Van Hooser in Dallas showed me a Mexican government web page where they were listed as 30 kW/Radio Poderosa. Evidently been that way for a few years`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NEW ZEALAND. 7355 QRM: see ALASKA [and non] ** THAILAND. 9390, Jan 12 at 1409, HSK9 with English broadcast, poor S3-S5, 1415 music. Needs LSB tuning to avoid WRMI 9395. As I`ve said time and again, the 1230 and/or 1400 English broadcasts would be much better for North America than the inaudible evening ones, if the RTG would aim a clear frequency our way, or better yet, insist on using Greenville in exchange for IBB continuing to use Udorn (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A.

Seeking Okeechobee sunrise at gaisma.com, not among the scores of Florida towns included, nor any close ones around the Lake, but the nearest I can find is Yeehaw Junxion, just north of Okeechobee, when the sunrise today was 1216 UT, so within half an hour, 6 MHz was dropping out and 9 MHz building up.
