** U S A. Following this report in AM Switch of NRC DX News Dec 28:
``1480 KBXD TX Dallas – Silent Dec. 17, 2014; on the air Dec. 10``

With what programming? I`m looking for KBXD, but have seen no other reports of it and have been unable to hear it myself on several chex in January, such as Jan 20 at 1354 UT. Now the dominant signal day and night continues to be KQAM Wichita. That`s because the next NRC DX News of January 11 reported:

``1480 KBXD TX Dallas – Had been back on the air Dec. 10; silent again Dec. 21 to replace transmitter and hopes to be back on the air within 30 days``

So was that the old transmitter Dec 10-21? It used to make a fast SAH with KQAM. Possibly it was this along with another unID log on 1480: ``UNIDENTIFIED. 1480, Dec 6 at 0126 UT, as I tune in, ID as ``1480 WGRA`` or maybe WGRE --- but there is no such station listed by NRC or FCC on 1480, nor any fuzzily similar call. Lots of QRM, maybe a music station vs all the talk stations. Also a low rumbling het from somebody too far off-frequency. Frustrating.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** YEMEN [non]. 11860, Jan 20 at 1425, R. Sana`a, speaker with echo, 1427 martial singing, mostly music until cut to Maghrib sunset call to prayer at 1454:28.5. As I noted, it was completely missing yesterday, but ante-yesterday CTP was at 1454:00 exactly, so only 28.5 seconds later than then. I expect tomorrow there will be a leap considerably later to catch up with the sun. IBB CCI from Kuwait is a little heavier than usual but still way underneath (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

UNIDENTIFIED. 4790-USB, Jan 20 at 1359, Asian language monolog, but with no carrier and occasional pauses past 1402, so 2-way rather than a broadcaster. 4790 is occupied earlier at 1300-1330 by BBC Uzbek, and maybe CNR1 jammer if they get back here instead of lysdexic 4970 as Ron Howard has concluded to explain the QRM to India there. 

BTW, I am also still getting two carriers near 4870, presumably always off-frequency RRI Wamena, Indonesia and more on-frequency AIR Kingsway in Nepali (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9225-USB, Jan 20 at 1413, 2-way in Spanish, whistling (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11902.45-USB, Jan 20 at 1428, 2-way in Spanish, INTRUDERS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
