** ALBANIA [non]. 5850, Jan 17 at 2300, WRMI with Dino Spanish ID, and R. Tirana again missing, 2300.5 into World Music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Jan 17 at 0845, I happen to awaken so quick check hearing tango music and Chinese talk, both good clues that it really is RAE on its new schedule via WRMI. 9395 is in Oldies, while 7730 & 5850 are indeed off. Likely RAE Japanese also exists at 09-10 on 9455.
9395, Jan 17 at 1859, WRMI in Oldies music // 7780 and 9455. Switching back and forth on one receiver, I catch Bob on 7780 saying he`s on 9395; but at 1900, 9395 splits to othermusic, presumably the World Music loop, and still *not*, RAE in German. Poor signals on 7780 and 9395, fair on 9455.
At 1938 recheck, I can better confirm that 9395 & 9455 are not //, different musix. (And now 11530 is on with African music from R. Herwa International.) After 2000, 9395 is supposed to be RAE in Italian, but it`s still World Music, while 9455 // 7780 have proceeded to `Your Weekend Show`.
At 2042 I stay on 9395 for a while as it`s a bit stronger with the World Music medley, most of which wear well and I enjoy hearing again. But there are never any announcements identifying the songs! I wish some DXer so fond of employing Shazaam or someapp, would run it to ID by title, language and artists, the WRMI WMX tunes, one after another. I describe the next few: 2042, exuberant steel drums; 2045, African choir; 2049 Un Nuevo Amanecer, Spanish praise, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15230, 15300, 15440, 15510, approx., etc., Jan 17 at 1455, quick check to reconfirm the RHC-FM service, while source 15370 remains in AM only.. Some monitors who don`t read my logs are now discovering these (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY. Correcting a previous item which said: ``But this sked does match up at all with its B-17 under CANADA in WRTH 2018``, while I meant to say *does not* --- fixed:
11790, Jan 8 at 1514, VG signal S9+10 to S9 with flutter, sounds like Farsi.. HFCC shows 15-16, MBR Nauen, 125 kW, 96 degrees, multilingual on M/W/F only. Aoki shows Bible Voice Broadcasting, Arabic on Monday, Urdu Wed & Fri. But this sked does not match up at all with its B-17 under CANADA in WRTH 2018 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9420, Jan 17 at 2040, VOG is on today with fair signal Greek music, alternative to the WRMIs above and below (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4055, Jan 17 at 0658, R. Verdad is still on with hymn in Spanish. Usually finished by 0610 after lengthy sign-off with anthem (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR. 17570, Jan 17 at 2006, African language at S9-S7, about same as only other signal on band, 17640 MWV/APR English. HFCC language column says it`s mos from AWR, MDC, 250 kW, 290 degrees daily at 2000-2030. Aoki is more explicit, from the other Mad site, Talata-Volononondry 1 (oops, I got carried away), in Mossi(Moore). Over to EiBi for info about this tongue: MOO Moore/Mòoré: Burkina Faso (5m) [mos]. The Adventists are really going after the ethnic minorities (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 18 at 0043, Turkish music on VG S9+20/10 signal, must be another bonus broadcast of VOT German hour, not supposed to be on any SW frequency, but why not just leave the English transmitter on another hour? Yes, YL in German at 0044 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9455, Jan 17 at 1445, WRMI another repeat of the `Viva Miami` interview with Allan Weiner, so I pull out a bit more detail. WRMI is giving him some spare equipment, but is it eventually to get another WBCQ transmitter operational, partly from what`s left of the burnt one?
