** CZECHIA. 5850 // weaker 7780, Jan 5 at 0617, ``The Moldau`` is
playing - must be R. Prague. Yes, as on WRN sked in English relayed by
WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 660, Jan 5 at 0607, Mexican NA choral, then ID with full
address in Monterrey. So it`s XEFZ. Despite frequent IDs as ``ABC
Deportes, sabemos cómo se juega`` plays a lot of songs in English

** MEXICO. 1090, Jan 5 at 0553, Spanish talk, like a financial
infomercial? Mentions cuentas, and website .mx. Sounds a lot like the
unID on 1100. At 0556 interjects and easily missed, ``escuchas Milenio
Radio``. So it`s XEAU Monterrey NL, 5000/500 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** MEXICO. Big sporadic E FM DX opening January 5, the first for me
this winter. All on stock Nissan Sentra caradio with fender vertical,
in real time, no RDS, no internet access or references at hand during.
Everything is in Spanish with $ tereo pilot, u.o.s. Times strictly UT.
Researched later mainly with WTFDA FM Database info indicated after
DB: km/statute miles added from distancefromto.net, city to city, not
site to site.

89.5 at 1853, Mexmx; 1902 JBA talk, 1903 ``La Lupe``: DB: XHFTI-FM
Fortín de las Flores, Veracruz, 60 kW, 453m, 1947 km/1210 stmi

92.1 at 1854, Mexmx, ``Lo Mejor FM``, 1856 TC for 4 till 1. YL DJ.
``La Mejor`` - think I heard both Lo and La, in passing. At 1901,
``180 mil watts, Córdoba, Veracruz, La Mejor``. At 1916, ``La
Mejor``. At 1939: ``La Mejor, 92.1 aquí no más`` DB: XHPG-FM Córdoba
Ver, 49.95 kW, 213m, 1949/1211

93.5 at 1855, Mexmx; 1905 Veracruz mentioned, CCI; at 1929 Rudolf
Truro songtune, CCI; At 1936 ``Arroba-FM`` mix CCI. DB: XHPP-FM
Pánuco, only one in Vcz, @FM - Arroba FM, 20.39 kW, 80.39m, 1594/991

92.3 at 1904, JBA SS talk

94.5 at 1906, Mexmx; at 1909, ``la canción de --- 94.5``, CCI

96.7 at 1906, talk about government benefit info; at 1927, talk about
obras públicas

94.1 at 1911, Farmacias Guadalajara ad: national chain I think, does
not necessarily mean a Guadalajara station

93.7 at 1912, Spanish music, but then English; brief capture over
KSPI?

92.9 at 1912, Spanish

92.1 at 1913, kids? about los Reyes Magos. Heard this mentioned
several times, i.e. imminent Jan 6, what we call Epiphany. Disney as
below?

94.5 at 1915, strumming music; at 1916 ad ments La Huasteca, Tampico;
1917 Farmacias Guadalajara. DB: XHTPO-FM Tampico, Tams, La Caliente,
50 kW, 111m, 1573/977

94.1 at 1917, about crédito, El Cerrito; 1920 two stations mix, ment
El Patito Suave. DB: no hits, too many stations

92.9 at 1921, Spanish JBA; at 1937, Senado PSA, ``La Qué Buena 92.9``,
ads, fade. At 1940, ads, ``la cadena de radio más grande de México,
92.9 La Kebuena``. DB: no hits unless spelt ``Kebuena``: XEQ-FM CDMX
79.07 kW, 214m, 1890/1174

94.1 at 1925, KFC ad in SS, CCI praise music EE = OK

94.9 at 1926, Spanish talk

93.1 at 1931, JBA ments Alegría, CCI local deadair. There is a grupo
by that name, but no hits; maybe was just ``alegría``

95.3 at 1933, M&W talk, 1:33 TC, overcomes KOKC translator

95.1 at 1935, undermodulated Xmasmx, must be Enid; later back to
deadair

94.1 at 1935, ``FM 94.1``, music; not an ID per se

92.1 at 1942, ads, plug Radiodisney.com.mx, ads, Disney; 1943 bit of
Indigenous language, in Suprema Corte PSA, ads Walmart, Taylor Swift;
1945 juguetes, ``92.1 Radio Disney, sólo baladas``, ``en Radio Disney,
tu música te llega``. DB: XHFO-FM CDMX, CHR format, 100 kW, 134m.
IIRC, the R. Disney brand disappeared a few years ago in USA. DB gets
only one hit on slogan, Pasadena CA translator of KRDC 1110, outdated?
1890/1174

94.5 at 1948, classical music! quite steady reception, harp concerto,
1953 slow announcer, Opus 94 ID, lengthy phone? number starting
56-28-17-, ``Opus 94, padecía[?] sonora``. DB: XHIMER-FM CDMX 100 kW,
478.3m, 1890/1174

93.7 at 1956, YL musing with musical background; 1958 ``Escucha 93-7``
captured from KSPI, yeah, but what`s the call? No station listed with
fq in slogan, but every station could say that, duh

92.9 at 1959, ads in pesos, Farmacias Guadalajara, Soriana; 2000
Electra, impossibly sped-up disclaimer, ``Ésta es ---, desde
Radiópolis, aquí suena, cadena de radio más grande de México. Back to
XEQ-FM CDMX as above. 1890/1174

95.3 at 2002, ``Amor 95,3. música romántica, XHSH-FM, 100 mil
watts, Amor FM, Grupo ACIR. DB: CDMX 90 kW, minus! 20m. In this entire
almost 2-hour opening, the only call-letter ID heard! I take a break
at 2003-2012. 1890/1174

96.3 at 2013, Spanish JBA with 96.1 OKC ACI

97.3 at 2013, Spanish music

100.3 at 2014, YLs, ``en el capital``, fade; 2016 discussing Reyes
Magos, address, RTQ for gifts; 2018 kids` wishes. At 2028, ``RTQ 100.3
Radio, rock? alternativo``. DB gets no hits searching on RTQ, but
Wikipedia leads to XHQUE-FM which is in the DB as R. Querétaro,
Santiago de Querétaro, Qro, 15 kW, 27.7m. This is the highest
frequency in the opening, tho had been concentrating on the overfilled
lower half of band. RTQ stands for Radio y Televisión Querétaro.
1774/1102

96.7 at 2021, YL TC as 2:21, about calendar?, 2022 fade, deadair
pauses, ``Radio Sensación 96.7 FM`` -- that is, DB: XHPZ-FM Cd.
Guzmán, Jalisco, 30.82 kW, 239.9m, 1933/1201

95.5 at 2026, Spanish talk briefly vs local 95.7 ACI

99.1 at 2027, Spanish briefly, fade

88.1 at 2030, discuss US, Ukraine, Maduro

92.1 at 2033, most have faded out except JBA Spanish here

At 2036 I quit. Per 6m DXMAP, opening continues some hours, but
nexus/patch originally circa San Antonio/S Texas, just right for me,
has drifted northward closer to OK which means any DX is skpping over
me (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Jan 5 at 0619, Station YHWH is on and JBA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9610, Jan 4 at 2138, tuning in early not to miss the start
of `Letterbox` on VOT, but zero signal into UTwente, OFF the air!
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 293 MCW kHz, Jan 5 at 0727, FBY FairBurY NE is mixing with
TOR TORrington WY. Haven`t heard the latter lately until recently, was
off? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 341 MCW kHz, Jan 5 at 0730 UT, DNI, 25 watt NDB at DeNIson
TX (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 383 MCW kHz, Jan 5 at 0734 UT, CNP, 25 watt NDB at Chappell
NE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 414 MCW kHz, Jan 5 at 0736 UT, GRN, ? watt NDB at Gordon NE
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 5550 USB, Jan 5 at 0612, NY ATC working flights,
unreadable, OM keeps asking for repeats or try another frequency. EiBi
shows only NY and Piarco, Trinidad on this frequency.

5574 USB, Jan 5 at 0614, YL ATC stronger than 5550. EiBi shows only
San Francisco Radio CEP on 5574.

5598 USB, Jan 5 at 0615, ATC asking for call sign, working Air France
481, refers to 6628, 3016 for contacting Santa Maria, Azores. Gander,
Shannon and NY are also on 5598. And some of the same on the others
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2328 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
January 4 at 2015 the 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.999-, S8/S9
into UTwente, unusually with some undermusic CCI. mwlist quick & easy
shows very few possibilities in Eu/Af/ME: 30 watts in Leeds UK; 7.5 kW
in Romania, only until 1800 on Sundays, and 50 kW in Iran until 2020
which must be it.

Not confirmed Sunday January 4 at 2235 the 2230 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, JBA into UTwente, Bedford and Carlow remotes, but probably,
sounds like it could be me.

Also confirmed Sunday January 4 at 2337 the 2330 on WRMI 9455,
S9+25/40 direct.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 5 at 0000 on WRMI 9395, S9+15/25
direct.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 5 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9+5/20 into
S Texas SDR. And still not on 9455, but not Viva Miami either as on
sked, Judge Joe?? introduced himself and started reading something
about photography.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 5 from 0401.5 on Area 51 webcast.
WBCQ 5130- cut off JL at 0400 for s/off announcement; he didn`t gotta
go until 0401.

Confirmed Monday January 5 at 2050 the 2030 on SW Radio Gold, Germany,
JBA into UTwente and Bedford UK: sounds like me. Next:

2030 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975;

** U S A. 1360, Jan 5 at 0545 UT, presumed KHNC Johnstown CO again
with strange program, exaggerated professorial accent about Zodiac,
still at 0601 but no ID, 0602 cut to a song (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1650 kHz, Jan 5 at 0543 UT, Spanish talk, praise music atop.
Only possibility is KBJD Denver 10/1 kW. KFSW Fort Smith AR, really in
OK, is not really a factor here, and the only other SS is KSVE El Paso
with sports. Haven`t heard it lately either, nor the tone it used to
run all-night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1100 kHz, Jan 5 at 0548 UT, Spanish music mixing with
WTAM et al., pileup, YL mentions cintura = waist. Unlikely one of two
remote obscure Mexicans. NRC AM Log shows only USSS: KAFY Bakersfield
CA U2 4200/800 religious, also unlikely (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR))

UNIDENTIFIED. Re my 1190 in Spanish, Jan 3 at 0710, ``Radio Éxitos``
suspected not to be WLIB NYC, which is ``La Exitosa``, Bruce Conti of
NRC IDXD replies: ``WLIB is operating unidirectional (non-directional)
at 25% power per an FCC STA which was recently extended, due to
directional phasing problems. Some midwest DXers have been reporting
interference with WOWO. [Conti]`` - Also, from MARE Tipsheet:

``1190, WLIB, New York, NY. 10 kW daytime, 30 kW nighttime. In place
of the usual 50 kW/9.8 kW WOWO, Fort Wayne, with La Exitosa music
format. English ID at 0259. “WEPN FM HD1, and WLIB AM, New York,” then
repeated in Spanish. “La Exitosa” station announcement. After that,
Elvis Presley singing “Silver Bells” (!) New logging. December 26. --
Bob Tarte, Lowell MI, Perseus receiver +W6LVP loop`` (Glenn Hauser,

** CUBA [non]. 5025, Jan 4 at 0735, R. Rebelde is off. I don`t always
log it when it`s on, or dead air. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba. Audiblizes 5020 JBA carrier already, presumably SOLOMON
ISLANDS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760 S7/S9 // 15140 S7/9+15 with windhowl, Jan 4 at 1603,
RHC IS & ID, not opening weekly Sunday Esperanto until 1604. SAWA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY. Marconi R. International publicized a 40th anniversary
broadcast Jan 4 at 1600-1900 on 7700 or alternate 7400. At 1624 into
UTwente, I have JBA signals on both, 7699.861+ at S6/S7, 7400.051+
also S6/S7; which is which? By 1741, 7400 won`t lock onto anything but
7699.870+ lox with music S6/S7. EiBi & Aoki show nothing on either
nominal frequency. Amid music, at 1735 announcement in English,
``Hello, Marconi Radio International...`` At 1800, JBA 7699.871+.
Anyhow, 7700 & 7400 should be good clear frequency choices (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6945 USB, Jan 4 at 0208, pirate song S7/S8 vs NL of
S6/S7; 0210 DJ mentions Saturday evening on ===? Radio, then something
about helicopters? These say it`s Band-Aid Radio:

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Jan 4 at 0652, Station YHWH is JBA. Ron Howard
and Rick Barton had been reporting it on late again (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.005, Sat Jan 3 at 2336, VOT English not off
the air, S9+25/40 into UTwente. Only music except for stale promos:
2336 ``always-by-your-side``, 2341 ``with-you-every-hour``, 2345
``a-b-y-s`` again already! 2354 s/off as if it were the 1330 on 13635,
something`s always awry at Ankara; 2355 IS. 2356 restart IS with
German IDs, 6CI undercurrent. Still on at 0000 Jan 4 opening
extraneous German, same offset and signal as above, erroneous at
Emirler. 0008 music, 0012 German. 0020 two-minute multi-lingual ID
filler reel but chopped off air shortly at 0021* during Russian,
uncovering Chinese at S8/9+5 on slightly different offset 5959.997
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9660.018+, Sun Jan 4 at 1744 tune-in, S9+20 into UTwente,
VOT `Letterbox` already underway so missed at least one contact. Maybe
tune in a bit earlier on a repeat. 1) Ivan Lebedev, St. Pete, Russia.
2) Mr Francis Mohler?, Dublin, Ireland. 3) --- Hussein ---, Pakistan
with NY greetings. 4) Dr. Daniele --?, Torino, Italy. 5) Satoshi
Tanaka, Tokyo, Japan. I bet there be myriads with that name. 6)
finally, Mr. -- Akin? Bashir, Pakistan Listeners Club. 1759 ending,
reminder that now repeats on Wednedays, 1800 theme (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U K O G B A N I. 7445, Jan 4 at 0140 conversation in unID language,
S9+10/20. EiBi shows it`s BBC in Dari via Woofferton at 0130-0200;
Dari and Pashto alternate half-hourly from 0030 to 0300, but after
0200 site changes to OMAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 275 MCW kHz, Jan 4 at 0653 UT, ND beacon HF? JBA and hard to
tell whether HP. Aha, it`s really HIN, as in RNA list, `Whitney`
Chadron NE, 25 watts, ``ULS WRLB2706 expires 09/03/2027 // 29Jun23
Tony reports it is mis-keying as 'HF' // 15Jan24 Tony reports it is
back to normal keying`` - but not anymore. It seems these beacons have
real W+ callsigns assigned to them, but never transmitted. IN if sent
without a space comes out as F: ..-. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 293 MCW kHz, Jan 4 at 0652 UT, underneath FBY, FairBurY NE,
one of my strongest and most regularly heard is another, TOR, which
is: TORrington WY, 25 watts. Torrington is in SE WY, a few km from the
Nebraska frontier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 359 MCW kHz, Jan 4 at 0658, GGF, Grant NE unknown power

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2328 monitoring: confirmed new time
2030 Saturday January 3 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 3975.001, S6/S8
into UTwente.

Also confirmed Saturday January 3 at 2030 on WRN via WRMI 9395, S9+38
into Georgia SDR and not at 2100 as now shown on the System E schedule
- or possibly both as not checked after 2100. Nor WRN Europe stream
checked at 2100 as long scheduled there.

Not confirmed on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, nominal 2030 Saturday January 3;
JBA vs HNL into N9AZZ southern IL remote, and KM4RT in western TN; the
closest at House Springs MO is not much better and times out at only
10 minutes allowed per 24 hours! WOR still had not started by 2045,
but not unusual to be running later. TWIAR was going at 2030.

Confirmed Saturday January 3 at 2200 on WRMI 9395, S9+25/30 into
Georgia SDR.

Also confirmed Saturday January 3 at 2235 the 2230 on WRMIs 17790
S9/+5 and 15770 S9+5 into Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed UT Sunday January 4 at 0258 the 0230 on WRN North

Also confirmed UT Sunday January 4 at 0412 the 0415v on WA0RCR, 1860

S9+20/25, 7570 S9+25, 7730 S7, 7780 S8, but 15770 is JBA carrier.

** VATICAN. 15490, Jan 4 at 1515, S Asian music, OOFSOB [one of few
signals on band], another example of Vatican Radio`s prowess in
serving us in the opposite direxion, Malayalam scheduled. No other
significant signals from Europe on 19m, and not much else except Cuba
15140 & 15230, WRMI 15770 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1700 kHz, Jan 4 at 0659 UT, weak Spanish in the mix. If
not KKLF TX, which has been absent, or open carrier 5 hours ago, only
other SS would be XEPE Tecate BC, nominally 10/10 kW, which IRCA
Mexican Log says: ``TuDN Deportes, Vivimos Tu Pasión 24h SPT TUDN No
FM. Active 8/25 per local monitoring, but signal strength decreased
after programming flipped to TuDN Deportes. Directional antenna?``

BRAZIL. 11780, Jan 3 at 0750 UT, RNA VG S9/+20 unlike missing last
night, but no token English, rather music and Portuguese. So
apparently English can be UT M-F only, not UT Sat. Little if any
signal on 6180 kHz.

** BRAZIL. 11780, Jan 3 at 0750 UT, RNA VG S9/+20 unlike missing last
night, but no token English, rather music and Portuguese. So
apparently English can be UT M-F only, not UT Sat. Little if any
signal on 6180 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 2598 USB, Jan 3 at 0749 UT, marine weather by YL robovoice,
mentions ``south coast``. Per DXinfocentre.com/mb.htm it`s the first
broadcast of the day starting at 0737 from VCP-4, Placentia. Five
other Newfoundland stations/sites rotate sharing time on 2598.

2749 USB, Jan 3 at 0752 UT, marine weather by YL robovoice. Sounds
same as 2598 but unlikely //, and unusually this is weaker than 2598
which is further. This is only 550 watts, while Placentia on 2598 is
3000 watts. Per DXinfocentre.com/mb.htm it`s the first broadcast of
the day from VCO Sydney NS starting at 0740. Three other NS
stations/sites rotate sharing time on 2749. There are two other
Canadian CG frequencies further north, 2514 and 2582, but only in
``daytime`` and never heard here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 1100.28, Jan 3 at 0709, JBA carrier hetting WTAM 1100,
again presumed HJAT Barranquilla, as Neil Kazaross reported a month
ago. Not yet in mwoffsets but no other entry anywhere near that far
above 1100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Jan 3 at 2004, S7/9+30 of dead air direct in English,
unseems howly now, and // 11880, S8/S9 dead air in English from RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2328 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
January 3 at 0954 when I happen to awaken, the 0930 on WRMI 7570,
S9+5/20 direct, and not on 9455 which is not even on the air between
04 & 23, yet continues to be shown on the WRMI blue System D sked. Nor
WOR on any other WRMI frequency audible now.

Confirmed not on air Sat Jan 3 at 1555 the 1530 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, instead TRSW music into UTwente, but should resume next week
also on 6160.

Confirmed Saturday January 3 at 1630 on WRMI 9955. S9+35 into Georgia
SDR.

Also confirmed Saturday January 3 at 1700 on WRN via WRMI, 9395 at

** U S A. 1700 kHz, Jan 3 at 0745 UT, ``94.5`` mentioned in English.
Evidently usual dominant and closest, SS KKLF The Metroplex TX is
still missing, as is KBGG Des Moines; and not KVNS Bronwsville TX
heard recently since it`s Fox Sports. Of the few stations left on
1700, NRC AM Log shows one with an FM on 94.5: WEUP Huntsville AL, U1
10/1 kW, in group ``Worship 94.5``. WTFDA FMDB shows that`s really
W233BR in Moores Mill AL, 250 watts, urban gospel format, ``The
Heritage Station 1700 AM`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810.58, Jan 3 at 0705 UT, mystery JBA carrier hetting
810.00 stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1190, Jan 3 at 0710 UT, ``Aquí Radio Éxitos`` - but no
such slogan listed anywhere in mwlist, WRTH 2026, NRC AM Log, IRCA
Mexican Log - checking not only most likely Mexico, but all of Latin
America. The closest name: WLIB NYC ``La Exitosa`` -- would be
surprised to hear them in OK. And, XEMBC Mexicali BCN only 250/100
watts includes ``Grandes Éxitos`` among its slogans. The XE usually
heard on 1190 is XEPZ, Ciudad Juárez Chih, 1000/250 watts which
is/was: ``Máxima 99.1, tu Estilo de Vida``. It would be nice if a DXer
in El Paso could confirm whether it`s now called Radio Éxitos. The
closest Kiwi in Truth or Consequences is too far, only trace of an
1190 signal in daytime (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
