 ** 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)

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.

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!

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.

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; 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW; 1400 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast]; 1500 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast]; 2100 UT Tuesday IRRS SW via AM Italia 1323; 0030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 0130 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 2030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160.

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.
