** AUSTRALIA. 4910, Jan 7 at 0816, VP carrier vs CODAR on both sides, VL8T,
Tennant Creek still on day frequency before 0830 switch to 2325. At about the
same level this early is 4835, VL8A Alice Springs, too close to 4840 WWCR, but
will not QSY. The third station day frequency, 5025, VL8K Katherine, is of
course blocked by Rebelde unless rarely AWOL, but normally audible later on
2485. All three stations on five frequencies are destined for extinxion at
Janend, unless internal opposition to ABC plans succeed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15140, Jan 7 at 1904, undermodulated choking
Arabic from RHC to Chicago, only S9; collides with irregular Oman also in Arabic
as noted elsewhere, but no trace of that here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** ETHIOPIA. 7236.571, Jan 7 at 1358, poor carrier here, presumed
the constantly varying R. Ethiopia by long path (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR. 17640, Jan 7 at 1838 check, no signal from MWV
English, but it is on at 2048 during the repeat, discussion of Bible
correspondence courses for Africans, now S4-S7 and the OSOB, its major
competitor, 17790 WRMI having evacuated, and its other, 17775 KVOH being silent
on Saturdays, or supposedly everyday after 1900 but sometimes runs later (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 15300, Jan 7 at 2054,
a signal where normally there is none --- and it`s [Station YHWH], Martin
Elliott with same old stuff on a new frequency, poor at S3-S5 but then surges up
to S9, 2057 mentions ``California time, Universal time`` as if schedule info but
can`t copy details in a fade; reads a short letter, then 2059 refers to his
``53-page document`` and apparently starts over reading it, about ``false God,
Jesus``, ``Christianity, greatest hoax ever foisted upon Mankind``. Somewhat
undermodulated and distorted but quite readable at fade-ups. I had just checked
9275 in case he showed up on competing Yahweh frequency of WMLK. Anyhow we know
this Yahweh guy does not take Sabbathdays off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Jan 7 at 0814, JBA carrier in splash
from 5025 Cuba, no doubt SIBC on night frequency and propagable (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 11825, Jan 7 at 1907,
WRMIBS is back on after AWOL yesterday, also // 11580 and 15770. Altho
sufficient, it`s a relief that the much stronger daytime blasters across North
America, 13695 and 15440 (and 17790, not so much) are the ones BS gave up ---
except that going with them from 13695 to much weaker 11580 are the 2100-2200
panoply of programs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN.
9690, Sat Jan 7 at 1839, REE is still missing from North American frequency,
which on Sat is scheduled to start at 1500, and fading up enough by now. 15390
& 15500 to elsewhere are fairly audible. Recheck 2102, however, 9690 is
finally reactivated after at least a week, now good at S9+10 for REE`s most
important show, `Tablero Deportivo`. 15390 & 15500 remain fairly audible at
S9, and I can even detect the fourth transmitter on 11685, S5-S6 vs constant
RTTY on its hi side from NAA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
UGANDA [non]. 15240, Sat Jan 7 at 1903, poor signal S5 in presumed Luganda, from
Radio Munansi via WWRB; no signal at 2054 recheck, as the exact schedule seems
to remain flexible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A.
WORLD OF RADIO 1859 monitoring: confirmed Sat Jan 7 at 2332 on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB,

random times on WBCQ 5130v-AM during Radio Jennifer service expanded hours,
altho not noted lately. Updated full WOR sked:

Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 6855, Sat Jan 7 at 1401, WRMI
is starting a gospel huxter, and // 9955. Seems reliably at this hour to be
duplicating 9955; therefore I am expecting the Wed 1415.5 broadcast of WORLD OF
RADIO also to be added on 6855. May also apply to the Tue 1200 and Thu 1230; but
not the Mon 0430 WOR airings, when 6855 has been // 5985 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5810, Jan 7 at 0811, Spanish WEWN is off! Had
been on as usual earlier in evening. I wonder if they always rest now in the
nightmiddle when audience is minimal? I am normally fast asleep by this hour.
Not propagational, as other US stations on 5830, 5850, 5890 are inbooming (which
is not always the case as MUF plummets).
12010 & 12090 approx., Jan 7
at 1908, buzzy spurs with no specific carriers from the 12050 WEWN Spanish
transmitter which itself has horrible buzz on it. Modulation peaks on the spurs
match (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9930, Sat Jan 7
at 1901 check, no signal from WTWW-2, so no `Theater Organ of the Ozarx` this
week. Other WTWWs 9475 and 12105 are loud. 9930 is still off at 2103 recheck
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** UZBEKISTAN. 7600, Jan 7 at
1353, open carrier at S7-S9, maybe JBM, 1400 talk and now also a weaker signal
on 7635, as both were heard after 1400 Jan 5. Aoki listed 7600 as BBC Hindi via
Thailand, but checking these out Jan 6, Wolfgang Büschel says per latest HFCC
info, both are via Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and both BBC Hindi, apparently testing
7635 (and he says also 7530; but nothing about my other unID carrier on 7670)
