Glenn Hauser logs May 31, 2012

** ALASKA. Mauno Ritola points out that 9655 is not the frequency scheduled by KNLS for Chinese at 13-14, altho I reported it May 30, and he heard it again May 31. Error or change? KNLS website in English still shows 9920 for this in A-12, and so does the Chinese website which includes a http://www.smzg.org/Schedule_in_English.htm
BTW, to get to the Chinese page from the English homepage you have to go thru ``All in the Family``. Aoki correctly shows 9655 and not 9920, which at 13-14 would have been in a one-hour gap between FEBC and VOA Tibetan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11780, May 31 at 0452, no signal from RNA, nor on 6180; did not hear 11780 24 hours earlier but might have been very poor propagation. Now I think they are both off rather than running all-night as they had been for a while. Altho for this session I was on inside antenna due to storms (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 6110, May 31 at 0505, NHKWRJ is missing from Sackville relay in English --- just as I have mentioned it as our most reliable time to hear this station. Other transmitters still going on 6020 and 6190 with China, 9555 with Vietnam (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. After WWCR 15820-15825 is inbooming May 31 at 1332 tnx to HF sporadic E opening, I am hoping for Es on VHF, but don`t turn on channel 2 until 1435, to find some video signals with antenna parked at south. All times UT!

At 1503 on 2, fade in ``The View`` in English, // local KOCO-7 so I know it can`t be Mexico, not even XHRIO which is the wrong network, Fox instead of ABC. So rotate to north and it`s better, signals also showing on 3 and 4.

The G7IZU Es map shows 50 MHz contacts all over the US, not so much in Canada or Mexico:
http://www.tvcomm.co.uk/radio/muf5.html

1512 on 4, YL in hard hat with large inscription kids.cbc.ca and into animation. The closest CBC on 4 to SSM is CBLT4, 100 kW in North Bay

1534 on 2, YL audio says ``saultsaintemarierealestate.ca`` and back to `The View`. Therefore the network is CTV and this station is CHBX.

1553 on 2, still `The View` with Broadway song and dance number

1553 on 4, 5 and 6, signs of video now

1558 on 4, still CBC Kids

1600 on 2, news

1605 on 5, CTV news re NE Ontario fires; nearest CTV to SSM is CICI-TV, 100 kW in Sudbury

1616 on 5, OM weatherman; 1620 back to YL anchor, Sally?

1620 on 4, Syria report on News Now with CBC pizza

1625 on 2, 3, 5, CTV news //

1626 on 5 // 3, weather including Sudbury, SSM, Parry Sound

1627 on 92.7, hard rock, ``Q-92``, which is CJRQ Sudbury, 100 kW

[see U S A for some more FM DX in this opening]

1631 on 5, still weather, for SSM, Kapuskasing, North Bay, 5-day forecasts

1642 on 5, WORLD VIEW segment in CTV news

1644 on 92.7, rock in and out, as above

1655 on 2, GLOBAL logo seen for first time in this opening. CIII-TV-2 in Bancroft is 100 kW; only other in Ont is CFGC-TV-2 in North Bay, 2.4 kW. I am referring to w9wi.com listings combined with maps from dxinfocentre.com

1655 on 5, CBC bug LR with weather map. Most likely CBLT5 in Sault Ste. Marie, 75.7 kW; the only other in Ont. is CBCC in Hearst, 8.11 kW

1702 on 3, e-talk from downtown Toronto. It`s a CTV show, e as in entertainment. Probably CITO-TV, 100 kW in Timmins if not CICI-TV-1, 19 kW in Elliott Lake

1710 on 4, news of a Dakota smoke shop being shut down; M&W anchors, no bug seen

1714 on 2, plug CTV News at Six

1719 on 2, Rogers Network ad, i.e. mobile service, CCI

1720 on 4, YL with weather map

1723 on 2, toon

1728 on 3, CBC bug LR, kids on safari in Africa to see rhinos; 1732 Greetings from Kelowna BC, more kidscbc.ca programming at 1745 with art lesson. Since it`s after noon not only in EDT but in CDT, is this now from MDT? No, doesn`t seem much further west. However Bill Hepburn`s ch 3 map at
http://www.dxinfocentre.com/TV3.pdf
shows no CBC on 3 (E for English) now between eastern Ontario and Saskatchewan. This signal holds up well with little QRM. Es openings habitually move westward as time goes on. But jockeying the rotor, this is at least as far east as the earlier ones, could well be CBOT6, 43 kW in Pembroke, Ontario, 1258 miles from here.

Weakening but still in past 1800, just about all gone by 1810.

1823 on 3, brief resurgence with Delissio pizza delivery ad, CBC News Now, mostly out (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also U S A for FM logs from Michigan in same opening

** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake May 31, circa 1230:

15735, fair at 1227, with CCI; none higher. New spot: perhaps Aoki`s listed 1200-1230 Sound of Hope via 100 kW Tajikistan on 15750 had jumped to here. Hope they`re all gone by 1300-1330 and 1400-1430 for R. Japan via Uzbekistan
15545, *1232 or so with het on hi side; had just come on, not there a minute or two earlier as I tuned across

Circa 1330:
17450, very po0or at 1326
17250, poor at 1326
16980, fair at 1328
16700, good at 1329
16100, good at 1329
15760, very good at 1331
15570, good at 1331, het on lo side
14700, very poor at 1334, NO FD but Chinese talk, Sound of Hope presumably making it thru. No FD in the 13s or 12s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. RHC *still* hasn`t updated its sign-off frequency announcement mentioning years-out-of-date frequencies for the morning transmission, including imaginaries: 15120, 15360, 13680, 12000, 9600, 6180. As heard on 9810, May 31 at 0457.

6000, May 31 at 0504, RHC English is still on here and missing from 6125 which is supposed to start at 0500; also on 6010, 6050, 6050. Tuning to 6005, one could hear the slight echo between 6000 and 6010 from different sites.

[and non]. All three VOA Spanish frequencies, quite strong at 1227 May 31, and no jamming audible on 15590, 13750, 9885. Listened carefully during dead-air break at 1229 before restarting programming with `Buenos Días, América`, and still heard no jamming except possibly a trace of bubbling on 9885 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUAM. 15170, May 31 at 1256-1257* good signal in an Indo-Malay language, TWR IS and off. Aoki shows it`s in Sunda daily at 1230-1300 [sic] at 248 degrees, and again at 1430-1500; after a semihour break, at 1330-1430 on a more northerly beam in S Asian languages. Recheck at 1329 heard IS on poor-fair signal, 1330 such a language talk and music. Aoki and WRTH update show Assamese M-F at 1330-1400.

However, WRTH A-12 update has reddened some late changes:
1230-1300 daily on 15170 is now in Minangkabau
1430-1500 daily on 15170 is now in Javanese
both replacing Sundanese, which is retained only at 1030-1100 on 15200

BTW, WRTH has moved the other Guam SW station, KSDA, to INDONESIA based on AWR re-organizational struxure; will KTWR stay under GUAM? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [and non]. 9630, May 31 at 0454, REE COSTA RICA overmodulated and splattering beyond 9620, QRMing REE Noblejas et al. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [non]. 5950, May 31 at 0502 via WYFR, RTI is in correct language tonight, English instead of Chinese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, UT Thursday May 31 after 0330, unknown if WRMI on the air during first broadcast of WORLD OF RADIO 1619, during T-storm here, and anyway is normally totally blocked by jamming. Did check mp3 stream quickly and it was running, but silently. Still so at 1450. Is WRMI SW off the air too, when it is not scheduled to be? Jeff White just replied from Venezuela, that the internet problem has been fixed.

Further airings of WOR on 9955 should be: Sat 0800, 1500, 1730, Sun 0800, 1530, 1730, Mon 0500, 1130. On WTWW: Thu 2100 9479, UT Sun 0400 5755. On WWRB: UT Fri 0330v 5050. On WBCQ Area 51: UT Sat 0130v 5110v-CUSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12105, May 31 at 0457, WTWW-3 is back on with Bible in Portuguese, VG signal, not always the case this late, and presumably just before 0500 close-down (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15820, May 31 at 1332, WWCR assisted by sporadic E with quite strong signal during `Inspiration Across America` black gospel music. I say 15820, because the 15825 transmitter has a big hash blob about 5 kHz away, as if they are pumping way too much modulation into and out of the unit and further splatter goes out at least plus/minus 10 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. As I was getting analog TV DX from Ontario on ch 2-5 and 92.7 FM, see CANADA, also got a bit of US FM DX, in UT:

1629 UT on 88.1, IRN-USA news.com outro, into gospel huxter. Could be an Okie except with Es-type fading. Is this net limited to USA? Probably a Michigander

1649 UT on 93.5, YL DJ, mentions ``a short drive east on M-72``, meaning a Michigan state hiway? Plus a show coming up Aug 24. Dirks-trivia (?), bluegrass performer, WTCF ID in passing. Political ad urging lobbying of Sen. Stabenow [D-Michigan]. I was sitting here on the next-up Sudbury frequency from 92.7. M-72 crosses northern lower MI from Lake Huron to Michigan, at the latitude of Traverse City. Nearest station to there is WBCM in Boyne City, which is further north near Petoskey, but FM Atlas says it calls itself ``WTCM`` which is only one rhyming letter off from what I heard. The real WTCM is on 103.5 in Traverse City, so 93.5 is a relayer of it?

1659 UT on 88.5, with hand-held DX-398 whip positioned just right, pull an ID for Mackinaw City and Interlochen over the OK station, i.e. WIAB Mackinaw City MI, presumably relayer of WIAA 88.7 Interlochen. BTW, FM Atlas XXI from 2010y shows WIAB with 20 kW vertical, 1 watt horizontal (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15070-SSB, May 31 at 1245, 2-way in colloquial Spanish at same time another one was active on 15500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15500-SSB, May 31 at 1236, Intruder, Spanish 2-way, the stronger one with ``engine noise`` and calling ``Georgi, Georgi, Georgi`` or something like that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

NDB 10m

Iier sera mi sono cimentato nella ricezione di NDB in 10 metri con RTX Icom IC-7200 e antenna filare.
L'utilizzo dei filtri digitali allargabili "a piacere" e' stato molto utile e comodo.
Di seguito il (mini) log.

Glenn Hauser logs May 30, 2012

** ALASKA. 9655, May 30 at *1300, open carrier and KNLS IS, good signal, with Sackville in an extended hiatus between Korea and China on 9650 until *1302; KNLS still audible with Chinese music at 1303. Recheck at 1330, 9650 was off again and 9655 still in Chinese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 9650, May 30 until 1259:15*, KBS World Radio relay in English relay [see KOREA SOUTH [non]], and next thing heard was carrier on 9655 soon followed by KNLS opening Chinese; see ALASKA. Sackville did not come back on 9650 until 1302 or so joining CRI English relay in progress; and of course, no more CCI from the defunct Dutch via Philippines. But at next check 1330, 9650 CRI/Sackville was off again. Must be problematic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake May 30, before 1300:
11500, good at 1232 with CCI presumed VOR; none in the 12s
13920, good at 1235
14700, fair at 1235
14870, fair at 1235; new frequency becoming a regular?
15940, very poor at 1237; none in the 16s. Higher bands degraded
17370, poor at 1238. Another new one, not yet in Aoki, never in DXLD

Before 1400:
11500, fair at 1332, with CCI; none in the 12s, 13s
14700, NO FD at 1335, but some Chinese talk, presumed Sound of Hope
15495, poor at 1337, het on hi side
16100, fair-good at 1338
16980, very poor at 1338
17100, poor at 1338
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, May 30 at 0523, gospel huxter is already going, poor signal from R. Africa. Next check at 1928, fair signal with the disgraced and encarcelated Tony Alámo (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, May 30 at 1331, VOI carrier is back on and just barely modulated, sounds English as scheduled. It was totally missing yesterday, Wolfgang Büschel agrees, as does Atsunori Ishida who says it went off May 29 at 1201*. WB also agrees it was back on today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 9650, May 30 at 1225, KBSWR via Sackville with those annoying audio artifacts on the English talk. Fortunately they were gone by 1243 when `Sounds of Korea` started, musical show about the #1 traditional tune ``Arirang`` and its many variations, as sung in the North also; seems to be a lament, or longing for love, family. Announcement upwrapped program at 1255 but music kept playing until cut off at 1259:15* without any formal sign-off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See CANADA for what happened next

** MEXICO. Sporadic E analog TVDX opening May 30, UT.

1430, on 2, fade-in with toons in Spanish; could not see a net-5 bug in UR, the primary source of such. In and out, mostly out

1455 on 4, some video looks like newscast

1455 on 5, MUF briefly up to here, some traces of video

1510 on 2, soccer, CCI

1518 on 3, something in Spanish

1547 on 2, still soccer, CCI

1559 on 2, local cooking show mixing with soccer

1600 on 2, Grupo Pacífico animated ID with the italic 2 in oval, adding DIGITAL, and then looked like a 34 in an oval, same style. Maybe that`s the real digital RF channel? 1601 LAS NOTICIAS with 2 bug as above in UR, f bug in LL as in Foro TV, from Televisa net-4

After that I had to concentrate on recording WORLD OF RADIO, but kept one eye on the TV set, and noticed the ch 2 Es was lasting past 1700, gone before 1800. Spanish Wikipedia says:

``Televisión Digital Terrestre
Para la Ciudad Obregón, la señal de Canal 2 se transmitie en Televisión Digital Terrestre a través de Canal 32; no se sabe si lo habrá también en Los Mochis, pero sus televisoras hermanas (Culiacán y Mazatlán) transmitirán también en señal digital; El Canal 3 de Culiacán es el Canal 30 Digital, mientras que en Mazatlán el 23 --- [footnote 4]``

http://www.cft.gob.mx/es/Cofetel_2008/Cofe_canales_de_television_digital_in
But that now gets a 404; this is the list, mixing analog and digital:http://www.cft.gob.mx/swb/Cofetel_2008/Cofe_estaciones_de_television_in
But not a match on channel 34 in that area
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 15120, May 30 at 0523, very poor carrier, not sure what, but VON not definitely heard here at this hour for a couple weeks. Seems to make a rare appearance with a good signal, or nothing. AIR Bengaluru is also on here until 0530, and CRI Beijing until 0657. Wonder if VON has given up on passé analog transmissions completely?

15115-15120-15125, May 30 at 1927, DRM noise is certainly there for the M-F 1830-2000 transmission, and no REE spurs at the moment. Axually could hear DRM out to 15128 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [non]. 5950, May 30 at 0551-0553 check, RTI via WYFR is again in wrong language, Chinese instead of English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15385+, May 30 at 1927 dead air, but at 1933 modulating poorly with man talking. KJES is scheduled at 18-20 on a different azimuth each hour. Poor signal today but slightly on the hi side compared to other 19m signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12105, May 30 at 1926, WTWW-3 is active with Bible in French, VG signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1619: On WRMI 9955: UT Thu May 31 at 0330; Sat 0800, 1500, 1730, Sun 0800, 1530, 1730, Mon 0500, 1130.
On WTWW 9479: Thu 2100
On WWRB 5050: UT Fri 0330v
On WBCQ 5110v-CUSB Area 51: UT Sat 0130v
On WTWW 5755: UT Sun 0400
Also on WRN via SiriusXM 120: Sat & Sun 1730, Sun 0830

Glenn Hauser logs May 29, 2012

** AUSTRALIA. 4835, May 29 at 1219, JBA carrier detectable in my dratted hi noise level on 60m, presumably VL8A, Alice Springs, which tnx to tip from Nigel Holmes via Craig Seager, ARDXC, is now sticking to this frequency day and night instead of 2310, ``because the transmitter contractors are unable to maintain the automation system that controls the day-night change-over between 4835 & 2310``. This `test` could go on for months or become permanent. Hmmm, as I said on WOR 1618, it`s out of the question to have an axual human being manually make the change-over twice a day!

Craig confirmed this was in effect May 28 with 4835 still on at 1315. This certainly improves our chances for hearing it in North America, except for WWCR splash from 4840 until 1158 or so. During our summer, if not too far after local sunrise, our best opportunity should be at 1200. Evidently the other two NT stations are continuing to use 120m at local night, 2325 and 2485 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake May 29 before 1300:
13970, good at 1242; none in the 12s
14600, poor at 1242
14700, very good at 1242
14800, very good at 1242
15550, fair at 1244 with het on hi side
15970, very good at 1245
16100, fair at 1245
16980, poor at 1245
17250, fair at 1245

Before 1400:
14600, poor at 1353; none in the 13s or 12s
14700, good at 1353
14870, good at 1353; unusual spot. In fact this frequency has never appeared in DXLD the past decade, Mr Google says.
14950, no FD but weak Chinese(?) at 1354-1400*, presumably Sound of Hope slipping in, missed by jammer
15485, fair at 1351 with het on hi side
16100, poor at 1357
16980, poor at 1357
17100, fair at 1357
17250, fair at 1357

After 1400:
15605, fair at 1425; none in the 14s
17100, fair-good at 1427
17250, very poor at 1427
17450, very poor at 1427
17570, fair at 1427 with flutter; no CCI audible, but V. of Tibet via Madagascar may have just closed here instead of alternate 17565, 17560
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COSTA RICA. 5995, May 29 at 0525, startled to hear good signal in Spanish here where none should be. Of course, once again it`s REE Cariari relay on wrong channel, missing from 5965, altho 5995 is in use earlier in the evening and they forgot again to change frequency. // still on proper 9630, 3350.

11880, May 29 at 1236, REE in Basque putting out modulation peak spikes as far as 11900, and probably also to 11860 but obscured by Cuba. Also could hear modulation mix of RHC and REE on 11900, but in this case overload receiver-produced as vanished with max attenuation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY [non]. 17810, May 29 at 1249, DW French has some CCI, altho stronger than // 17820. DW is 325 degrees from Kigali, and the CCI is presumably AIR in Telugu, 250 kW, 120 degrees from Panaji, GOA, which is supposed to end at 1245, but intentionally co-channel from 1200, on the mistaken assumption that the two will not interfere with each other, while there are plenty of open frequencies on 16m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, May 29 at 1349 not even a JBA carrier detectable, let alone undermodulation from VOI, as yet another opportunity is lost to provide reception of the ``Exotic Indonesia`` linkup with RRI Banjarmasin if they are still doing that on Tuesdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 13750, May 29 at 0527-0528* nondescript music which I am beginning to recognize as the VIRI IS, as scheduled here 0500-0530 [sic] in Russian, 500 kW, 321 degrees from Kamalabad so also USward. Then at 0529 went to 17660 and heard same music continuing, stronger but flutterier, 3 rising tones at 0530 and opening ``Bossni`` broadcast via Kamalabad. The Russian on 17655 had already signed off too; heard 24 hours earlier on both (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [and non]. 6120, May 29 at 1225, NHK World Radio Japan, morning English to ``North America`` is lost in the daytime noise level. This is almost *four hours* after sunrise in nearby Moncton per:
http://www.gaisma.com/en/location/moncton.html
of 0833 UT, soon to reach its earliest of the year at 0828. NHK really needs to rethink its frequency management of staying on 49m yearound from Sackville at this hour. O yeah, it`ll be gone by next summer, even next winter, so that takes care of that. Meanwhile, I suppose the 250 kW may still make it sufficiently as a totally-daytime service in the abbreviated ideal single-skip distance ring around Sackville, favoring 240 degrees azimuth, fighting all that attenuation.

Meanwhile, NHK much more audible on the only remaining // at this hour, the transmission to ``Asia`` on 9695, which is not even direct from Yamata any more, rather due north via SINGAPORE; with fairy tale about an ogre (with only one semi-hour a day of original English programming any more, why waste it on such stuff?). (Zero in the azimuth column apparently really means north in Aoki, as other entries are specified ND = non-direxional.)

At least we still hear NHK English well at 0500-0530 via Sackville over a total-darkness path on 6110, but that`s local midnight here, 1 am Eastern and earlier-evening transmissions are long gone. We can also hear 5975 via UK and 11970 via France at 0500. Another good one if we can listen at new time of 1800-1830 UT is 15720 via Madagascar. Since this is the middle of the night in Japan, we wonder if the news is really just a playback of 1200, 1300 or 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5890 via WWCR, May 29 at 0536, Brother Scare is playing back his answering machine from psychophants. First one adverts that May 25 ``will be`` the end of the world --- oops! Next one is concerned about BS and is praying for him, expecting vice versa; then BS himself haltingly reads another message mentioning something about BS being in pain. If anyone has more patience listening to BS frequencies and has figured out what the problem is, let us know (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K [and non]. 11680, May 29 at 0521, station in Arabic with QRDRM from RNZI 11670-11675-11680. Victim is BBCWS via Woofferton --- a fine example of how DRM cannot coëxist with analog (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490, May 29 at 0525, open carrier/dead air, as WBCQ transmitter is still on late. 9330 has been behaving lately, no dead air heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12105, May 29 at 1430, WTWW-3 is missing again, no Arabible. Still off at 1656 recheck. George McClintock messaged on May 28 that he was testing the WTWW-2 transmitter on WTWW-1 frequencies, i.e. on 9479, 5755 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN. 13765, May 29 at 0515, VR in African English about Africans being too dependent, with continuous meowing sound (roughly same two tones sliding over and over), or miauing if you prefer, a Katzenjammer? But hard to imagine anyone bothering to jam VR deliberately. Source really uncertain, maybe out of VR audio itself. It continued when speakers changed. But at 0520 went to much lower pitch, like rubbing a balloon; 0527 off the air; 0528 back on with IS on stronger signal and no such noises. Was changing from 270 degrees for English to 300 for Portuguese, more USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6071, May 29 at 1222, again that het upon CFRX 6070, no modulation audible. The only other 6070 station scheduled in Aoki is VOK`s Japanese service. Could it be off-frequency? If we can catch the het going off at 1250, that would fit this theory; and/or with breaks as listed at 0957-1000, 1050-1100, 1157-1200, altho there should be no need to turn the carrier off as the same 250 kW, 109 degree antenna from Kanggye continues in use thruout. And there used to be an Indonesian on 6070v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Domenica 27 maggio 2012
Da qualche giorno, nel QTH fisso di Rapallo, sto provando - all'interno dell'abitazione - una piccola Yagi autocostruita, di 3 elementi su una lunghezza di circa 80 cm, il principale al centro un dipolo aperto (ho trovato lo schema teorico in Rete) e tutti rigorosamente realizzati con *antenne telescopiche* di massimo 70-100 cm, regolabili in caso di segnale troppo elevato. Il sistema, così come per i tre esperimenti dell'HB9, è sempre montato sul supporto in PVC della loop in ferrite 70-2000 kHz e, pur non essendo esterna e in posizione elevata come vorrebbe sempre la teoria, ha il vantaggio di poter essere orientata, rispetto ad un rotore che generalmente è a 'velocità' (si fa per dire) *fissa*, in maniera quasi istantanea, specie se necessario inseguire un segnale di durata assai breve.
Prima di realizzare delle fotografie la voglio provare bene e capire se devo migliorare la struttura complessiva, poi dal punto di vista estetico è piuttosto brutta. Come si dice in Piemonte: balenga! Però debbo riconoscere che, *se i segnali ci sono* (principio teorico-pratico che secondo me vale fino alla stölle!), la differenza rispetto al singolo dipolo telescopico *da viaggio* è notevole, già con soli 3 elementi e più piccola delle misure adeguate per le frequenze da 87.5 a 108 MHz. In particolare, oggi, tra le 12.15 e le 12.30, con la DE1103 modificata (filtri FM da 80 e 110 kHz), grazie alla presenza di alcuni segnali non regolari dalle montagne della provincia di Cuneo, ho potuto apprezzare di questa piccola Yagi rudimentale la caratteristica principale, ovvero la direttività.

Certo, la separazione non era netta, le ragioni sono numerose, tante quante le variabili che determinano o meno la ricezione delle VHF, però i risultati sono...risultati assai gradevoli. Infine, sempre rispetto al semplice dipolo, si possono aggiungere circa 10-20 stazioni in più semi-regolari, sia da ponente che da levante. D'altronde, anche se più di una volta mi è stato proposto, mettere antenne direttive esterne non mi è possibile, così come portare in giro questo propotipo che, comunque, per ragioni di *praticità domestica* è realizzato facilmente smontabile, però attendo con pazienza che anche qui a Rapallo la stagione DX si faccia sentire e sono certo che, nei limiti di ciò che (mi) è possibile, otterrò dei risultati.
-
Ore 18.20: la Yagi non è più 'balenga'! Con un po' di viti, dadi, ranelle e staffe metalliche l'ho fissata al tubo PVC orizzontale dove c'è dentro la ferrite della loop VLF-MF e non si muove più neanche con le cannonate. Raddrizzato, dopo avere tolto una ranella di troppo, anche una delle antenne telescopiche ed ora, diciamo al 95 %, sono tutte parallele.

Glenn Hauser logs May 27-28, 2012

** AUSTRALIA. 21725, Monday May 28 at 0535, poor signal with slow song. Figured it was European with Romania in on 21500, or even Iranian, but HFCC shows IBB Tinian at 0500-0600, 250 kW, 279 degrees, but which service? For that we always have to look elsewhere, such as EiBi, which shows merely RFA in Mandarin, but on Thursdays only, and HFCC also lists day-5 only. Besides the CNR1 jammer also during this hour on Thursdays only, EiBi has something else:

R. Australia, daily at 05-07 in English to SE Asia. RA Shepparton / Brandon schedules are still absent from HFCC! Aoki also has RA Shep, 329 degrees --- but no RFA on 21725 at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake May 28, after 1220:
16100, good at 1221, none higher
15940, fair at 1224
15900, fair at 1224, a bit better than 15940
15445, fair at 1223 with het on lo side
14800, good at 1224
14700, good at 1225 with CCI talk, axually Sound of Hope presumed
13970, JBA at 1226; one in the 12s
11500, JBA at 1226; can`t be sure it`s FD rather than VOR, Tajikistan

Before 1300:
15550, fair at 1247; now not on 15445
17170, very poor at 1252
17250, very poor at 1252
17450, very poor at 1252

After 1300, incomplete:
15485, poor at 1304; I think it was on before 15550 went off
15550, fair at 1302 but gone at 1305

Before 1400:
13970, JBA at 1355; none in the 12s
14600, fair at 1356
14700, poor at 1356
15485, poor at 1356, het on hi side
16100, fair-good at 1358
17170, very poor at 1358
17250, poor at 1358
17450, very poor at 1358
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9955, May 27 at 1952, checking WRMI 9955, heavy jamming with some pulsing also audible. What`s on WRMI at this time on Sundays? If the March 31 program grid still posted remains correct, it`s `Words of Life`, ergo evangelism in English --- and there are no Spanish programs immediately before or after, nor at this time on any other day of the week (WRMI off the air anyway weekday afternoons). The DentroCuban Jamming Command cannot be too careful, or rather too incompetent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CYPRUS. 16781-16806, May 28 at 0530, OTH radar pulses presumed from here, as BBC Cyprus was also in well on 17640, see UK [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, May 28 at 0547, R. Africa is on with VG signal, preacher bemoaning the ``licentuous`` [sic] lifestyle of John Edwards. This was not yet on the last I tuned across circa 0525 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 17655 & 17660, May 28 at 0526, same soft keyboard music on both, seem //, producing mutual het, but don`t get a definite match in time with a second receiver, signals only fair. 17655 goes off at 0529* while 17660 continues music until 0529:45 open carrier, 0530 three rising chimes, brief announcements, Iranian NA, 0531:25 very brief Qur`an and presumed translation, 0532 plucked music theme and opening program, not the news theme. HFCC shows 17655 until 0530 in Russian, 500 kW, 40 degrees from Sirjan, while 17660 is ``Bossni`` at 0530-0630, 500 kW, 297 degrees from Kamalabad (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. The morning of May 27 I was having trouble getting a clear signal from KCSC 90.1 Edmond, our classical music station. Some kind of raucous musical interference, certainly not R. Kansas which tends toward the classical too. Maybe something further by tropo? No, checking later in the evening around 0130 UT May 28, our brand-new station on 90.5 is out of whack, distorted on the fundamental with gospel rock music and splattering at least 0.5 MHz above and below, depending on relative signal to other stations, and antenna orientation, including interfering with KCSC.

It`s KGVV 90.5 in Goltry/Carrier just NW of here, an unneeded repeater of KLVV 88.7 Ponca City which is also still on the 98.5 Enid translator. Isn`t anyone at the station paying attention to their own output? Ha! I`m sure there is no one tending it at the Carrier transmitter site, nor do they bother to listen to it back at HQ in Ponca if they can get it. BTW, since 90.5 came on a few weeks ago, even when operating correctly, it squashes our second-newest nearby station on 90.3, KHEV in Fairview, which is really just another gospel-huxter repeater.

May 28 around 1350 UT, KGVV 90.5 is still distorted and expanding beyond legal bandwidth, altho KCSC has more of a problem with 90.1 co-channel KHCC Hutchinson KS (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 17760, May 28 at 0533, RRI very good in English news, // poor 21500 --- summer day-like propagation in the nightmiddle as insolation is not far away on hi-latitude paths, and the critical first refraxion is probably fully illuminated. 0551 in mailbag acknowledging a report from North Carolina (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9385, May 28 at 1306, via WWRB, Brother Scare is speaking about an earthquake and tidal wave ``last week`` affecting ``Asia minor`` [sic], such as India, Thailand and Indonesia, i.e. God punishing Hindus, Buddhists and Moslems? Strange, I didn`t hear about any such event last week; besides TOM replaying old, old stuff, the modulation is degraded. What`s the matter with him? I mean other than as usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [and non]. REE provides more entertainment in the form of spur-produxion from its inside and outside transmitter sites, and consequently chasing them down, May 27 at 1928-1942 on 16m:

17850 via COSTA RICA surrounded by spurs at multiples of approx. 13.84 kHz, computed since the furthest one out was at 17780.8, or 69.2 kHz away. Others detected around 17864, 17878; 17836, 17822 JBA, not 17808.5. At first I could hear a very weak het on BBC 17795, and the next CR spur would be on 17794.6 or so. And also a very weak one on 17753.1, hetting REE SPAIN 17755.0! This was the first one noticed at 1928, just before CUBA turned on much stronger 17750.0, but could still detect the 17753 carrier.

17771.3 bore another REE spur with audio at 1928, presumably coming from 17755, 16.3 kHz away, as it didn`t fit the pattern from CR. And the lowest one on 17739.2, which is 15.8 kHz below 17755. Well, they`re both close to 16 kHz away, maybe slight errors in measuring.

This was all on the DX-398 on the porch, and since I was apparently getting spurs from both REE sites, I got my DX-375 out of the car where it stays for emergency use and had no problem picking up the super signal on 17850 to compare with the spurs` audio.

Yes, 17780.8 as heard on the DX-398 was synchronized with 17850 on the DX-375, while 17755 direct from Spain was as usual ahead by 4 or 5 seconds. So we had the spur fields crossing each other, CR going as low as 17753, Spain going as high as 17771. At 1950 checked frequent spur source 15110 from Noblejas, but none this time, all the effort being put into 16m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TUNISIA [and non]. 7275, May 28 at 0542, IWT is so weak that a ham (sounds American) has put his transmitter right on this frequency. It`s really amazing that this happens so seldom, as hams could do this anytime they please. IWT carrier provides some BFO, but not enough, especially when it fades a bit and the SSB nature of the unID ham becomes apparent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K [non]. 17640, May 28 at 0523, BBCWS in English with good signal via CYPRUS, scheduled 05-08, 300 kW, 173 degrees. Latest HFCC shows BBC`s full usage of 17640, all in English: also overlapping 07-13 Seychelles, 13-17 Ascension, 17-18 Cyprus again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 17650, May 28 at 1259, hilife music, pause, 1300 ``Direct from Washington, the Voice of America, V.O.A.`` jingle and into scheduled Somali, 250 kW, 139 degrees via SMG at 1300-1400. Did not hear any traditional English opening as ``The following program is in Somali``, or more recent version, ``This is the Voice of America, in Somali`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15180, May 27 at 1924, very strong signal from WHRI, Indianapolis 500 victory celebration by somebody (I still don`t know and don`t care who). WHRI has been broadcasting this deathtrap non-religious macho/machine nonsense for years, in tribute to its Indiana roots. I am happy to say that I saw no advance publicity of the time or frequency, just ran across it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN. 21675, May 28 at 1218, very poor signal in Italian. 21680 used to be the prime 13m frequency of VR, but now 21675 is the only one scheduled at any time, and only for 20 minutes from 1200 as in HFCC and Aoki, 250 kW, 185 degrees from SMG; EiBi guesses 30 minutes as VR never specifies how long any transmission lasts. I just received in the P-mail last week the VR A-12 schedule folder, which also shows 21675 as news in Italian daily at 1200 to Africa, and no SW //s, just AM & FM. (But they might fire up a 13m channel for Special Broadcasts.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA [non]

UNIDENTIFIED. 17765, May 28 at 1249, close to 1000 Hz tone on and off, then pitches stepping down to a very low note I couldn`t measure, below 200 Hz; 1255 stepping up rapidly again to a higher pitch but not as high as originally, open carrier and off. Nothing is scheduled on 17765 anywhere near this time. Whatever became of those new transmitters being installed in Saudi Arabia, suspected source of many more such tone tests last year? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. According to the 6m maps, there was a lot of Es activity up into FM, but not much made it here even on VHF TV, May 27, UT:

1916, signs of Es on channel 2 with antenna north; centered over Kansas, too close to be useful here.

2222 on 2, weak video showing, novela? peaking southwest, think a bit of audio was Spanish but not positive; some more barely peaks during the following semihour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Radio Dellen International, Sweden, +1-3 June

** SWEDEN. Radio Dellen International - 1-3 June --- News of a low-powered Swedish station on air next week from Ronny Forslund:

"I would like to mention a very special project which will be on the air. It is an event station called Radio Dellen International and we will be broadcasting on 5895 and 6065 kHz (one at a time) with 400 watts of power. Location is Delsbo in the province of Hälsingland, Sweden (some 350 km north of Stockholm). The station is operated by members of Delsbo Radioklubb (DRAK) and we are very interested in knowing how our signal is reaching out. Our broadcasts are focused on the DX Parliament arranged by Delsbo Radioklubb on June 1-3 but tests can be expected some days before. We have a separate blog for this:
http://www.radioenthusiasts.blogspot.com
Reception reports can be sent to:

Ronny Forslund
Radio Dellen Int.

SE-179 95 Svartsjö
Sweden

RDI will of course verify correct reception reports if return postage is enclosed (Ronny Forslund via Alan Pennington, 24 May 2012, BDXC-UK yg May 27 via DXLD)

Glenn Hauser logs May 25-27, 2012

 ** CHINA [non]. 9690, May 27 at 0420, VG carrier but just barely modulated in Chinese, and // 9790 with epic choral music, sounds like cinematic, normal modulation level but distorted. 0424, Chinese announcement on 9790, dead air on 9690. CRI relay on 9690 is scheduled 02-04 via Noblejas, SPAIN, and 9790 at 03-05 via CUBA, the 04-05 hour axually Cantonese, not Mandarin. For some reason, Spain must not have turned 9690 off on time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11760, May 26 at 2005, RHC French is very undermodulated. Have to turn the volume way up.
9500, May 27 at 1245, RHC `Cuba Campesina` music show on distorted, unstable spur, weak but stronger than // fundamental 9540, which is always much weaker than // 9550 and 9850. So which transmitter is it coming from? At 1256, 9550 cuts off the air, and 9850 is gone too, with 9540 and 9500 remaining. Had looked for a match on 9600, which would indicate origination from 9550, but none there. A match to 9540, 40 kHz on the upper side on 9580, would have been buried by R. Australia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also CYPRUS: RHC hit by OTH radar; see also CHINA [non] 9790 Cantonese

** CYPRUS. 17818-17843, May 26 at 1910, OTH radar pulses presumed from here with usual 25-kHz spread, happening to be in a clear area below REE/Costa Rica 17850 splash. (As a rule there is much less activity by broadcasters above 17800 than lower in the band.)
17688-17713, May 26 at 2030, same kind of OTH radar pulses now here, missing Spain on 17715, but not RHC 17705 after *2100; tsk2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 15630, May 26 after 2100, I was dozing to our mostly-music station, Voice of Greece, seemed nothing unusual, but realized at 2140 that they were broadcasting in English, interrupted by voice-overs in Greek. It`s the Eurovision Song Contest, presumably live from Baku, with each country announcing how it would divide up points for its top three choices. English is apparently the lingua franca, not Azeri. Rather meaningless from our viewpoint, went on and on, votes from Bulgaria, Cyprus, Croatia, Slovakia, Estonia, Lapland(?), Iceland, Sweden and still going past 2200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 15070, May 26 at 2010, pirate Undercover Radio is back on a favorite frequency, giving gmail address, music, 2015 ID and address again. 2016 story about having dropped acid only three times in his life, e.g. looking at a monitor, could see every pixel, then every molecule, then the color of every atom. 2025 ID and address again, 2026 off. Was in RC-USB, needed BFO, fair to good peaks. Had to avoid local spur from computer circa 15068.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9385, via WWRB, May 27 at 1258, Brother Scare himself is briefly heard; voice sounds hoarser than usual, may be ailing. And then was that he trying to sing with others? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [and non]. 15110, May 25 [correct] circa 2130, REE play-by-play stupid ballgame is again replete with at least ten spurs from Noblejas, at multiples of approx. 14.5 kHz, or a shade more than that but closer to 14.5 than 14.6:
15037.5, 15052, 15066.5, 15081, 15095.5;
15124.5, 15139, 15153.5, 15168, 15182.5
The four closest to huge 15110 signal were the worst by far, loud distorted // modulation, and barely audible out by the fifth order, but still a nuisance to Trenton on 15034-USB. 15139 making a het with 15140, presumed OMAN. If one heard 15124.5 first, one might assume it was the REE CR relay on 15125, but not now, and anyway not unsynchronized. Meanwhile, the CR relay on 17850 was OK, not putting out spurs; do they take turns?
Ernesto Paulero, Argentina on the condig list was listening at exactly the same time to 15110 and says it was ``la final de la Copa del Rey``, but doesn`t mention any spurs.
Then on May 26, 15110 checked again at 1901, shortly after sign-on. VG strength, but modulation badly distorted at peaks. Fortunately not putting out multiple spurs this time, but heavy splash out to 15100-15120. 1911 playing a song in English, and a few seconds later on // 17850 CR, no spurs either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15385.0-, May 26 at 1904, KJES is distorted even worse than REE 15110 [see SPAIN]! With hum. A bit of Jewish music illustrating narration by YL about Jerusalem. Is programming being diversified? Compared to WWV and other 15 MHz band signals, this one was only very slightly on the low side, much closer to nominal than usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, May 27 at 0058, WTWW-2 is already on with music. Another test was announced a few hours earlier and I spread the word to various DX groups in advance. Ted Randall was again playing classic rock music and asking for reports to his e-mail address. Good signal here at first, and with sun down, soon improving to very good until 0300* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1618 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW 5755, UT Sunday May 27 after 0400, very good signal. Remaining SW repeats are on WRMI 9955: Sunday 1530, 1730, Monday 0500, 1130. Also on HLR 5980 Germany, Tuesday 0930. On WRN via SiriusXM 120: Sunday 1730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9825, UT Sunday May 27 at 0423, lo-quality clip of some pirate from SW, but then at 0425 Chris Lobdell announces he is *starting* Pirating with Cumbre segment, a bit late for that in the semihour. Playback at WHRI must have been out of whack, or threw this in to fill time, as 0428 cut to WHR`s own music fill and shill for unsold airtime to follow (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15745-15753 or so, May 27 at 1216, DRM-like roar, but probably a ute as no DRM is scheduled here. Likewise 13830-13835 at 1217. Hard to pin down the center of these blobs but not at least 10 kHz wide like DRM. 13830 could be jammer against RFA Tibetan via Tajikistan; no target known on the other one (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ALASKA. 9610, May 26 at 1127, YL solo in Chinese, 1129 OM with English lesson repeating words and phrases: ``Fruit``, ``I have three fruit trees in my yard, peach, pear and apple``, ``A vacation in Florida was the fruit of a year of hard work``. Good signal, wasn`t sure whence, until uplooked as: KNLS. Rather unpatriotic: How about a vacation in Alaska?? Well, teacher is probably really in Nashville.

BTW, KNLS English is now scheduled: 10-11 9655, 12-13 7355, 15-16 9655. Still only one transmitter operational per

** CHINA [and non]. 21480, May 26 at 0448, two Chinese stations mixing; the one atop sounds like CNR1, i.e. jammer. Conversely, on weaker 21580, a non-// signal is on top. Both are R Free Asia, Chinese via TINIAN channels, which Must Be Jammed by the paranoid ChiCom (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. 15100, May 26 at 1522, very good signal from CNR1 jammer, no doubt vs VOA Uzbek via Kuwait at 1500-1530 only, inaudible. Nothing heard at 1531. I was checking for V. of South Sudan Revolutionary Radio, new frequency just reported by Mark Davies with Noel Green in England, at 1355 in English today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, May 26 at 0455 tune-in to open carrier --- will I catch a formal sign-on from R. Africa? Of course not! Soon starting music, ``Your Radio Pastor broadcast, half an hour of music and inspiration``. Fair signal, on earlier than usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Continued Es opening of May 25, in UT:

after 1700, respite, not much happening past 1800.

1821 on 2 and 3, signs of activity again

1824 on 2, fade in film featuring lucha libre, bug +tv in UR, i.e. másTV, XEWO, Guadalajara. There was a word below the bug, looked too short to be Guadalajara.

1831 on 2, adstring including Razón 12; XEW-TV news promo

1854 on 2, algo fades in again

1854 on 3, drama, with audio. Finally something on this channel

1857 on 4, dubbed movie in Spanish, // 3 and stronger than 3 before fade. Opening may have continued but not monitored after that (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9980, Sabbath May 26 at 1502, Overcomer Ministry via WWCR, and four seconds later on 9385, WWRB, non-Brother Scare preacher, black accented. As others have noticed, B.S. himself is not heard (much) lately. Has there been a coup? If he were indisposed or dead, there would still be plenty of recordings of him to keep playing eternally, as indeed were normally played to fill much of the 24/7 broadcasts.

Maybe someone should drop in on the Tabernacle near Walterboro to find out what`s up. Driving direxions are here,
http://www.overcomerministry.org/Community.html
And also contact info for two others, in Henrietta OK, and Mackville KY. Nothing on homepage about BS being MIA, and his name still appears at the top (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA [non?]. 12225, May 26 at 1500 again a JBA carrier is all I can get from Naatham. At 1522 and 1532, marginally better, traces of modulation. After more than a week of nothing but western music, instead of pro-Tamil, anti-Sri Lanka clandestine broadcasts, this May 25 report from Sei-ichi Hasegawa, Japan to the DXLD yg:

``Mystery or Joke on 12225 kHz Tamil R. --- Hiroshi and Nakanaka received misfeeding of approx. one minute from 1514 of May 25. English service of SLBC was received on 12225 for this one minute. You should have inferred this how.

** TUNISIA. 17735, May 26 at 0453, IWT with Arabic music, VG signal now, the SSOB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12105, very good again May 26 at 1501 in Arabible. George McClintock fills us in on the WTWW situation as of May 25: WTWW-3 was off the air for a couple of weeks because of a cascading series of tech problems. First the blower to the RF driver froze up, as the leaf sensor froze in the on position, allowing the tube socket to be destroyed, and the tube itself was black. It seems there had been mis-wiring on the blower. Then that was repaired. There was also arcing elsewhere in the unit, fixed. Then the circuit breaker went out; had to order and wait for a new one, which were fortunately still available. Once installed, back on the air May 25.

WTWW-2: still awaiting a deal with a full-time client. 9990 is suitable for day, but not sure of 5085 at night. Another test may be required. Cannot run full 100 kW power on 5 MHz, only about half power. Temporary activation for Dayton Hamvention coverage on 9990 was curtailed due to a computer problem on May 20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330, May 26 at 1125, and still at 1328, 1344, open carrier/dead air from WBCQ instead of Radio 2:11 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15550-USB, May 26 at 1501, WJHR is back with usual gospel huxter. First noticed it absent on May 19 a week ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1420, monitoring again May 26 at 1144, following strange unID May 24 sounding like KCKM/KCKN, again a country music station looping WSW/ENE, but heavy QRM with sunrise skip still vigent. 1200, heard ``Neosho, AM 1420``, not necessarily the same station, but now ergo KBTN Neosho MO, 1000/500 watts, and NRC AM Log shows C&W there too. Neosho is in the SW corner, close enough to have a slight skip advantage (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1440, May 26 at 0502-0515 UT, tried for the off-season DX test from WFNY in Gloversville NY, which included Morse code, but nothing audible amid the graveyard-like signal pileup. It was confirmed on the air and widely reported further east past 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1540, May 26 at 0516 UT, open carrier over the CCI. Suspect KXEL in IA or one of the Texans (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6071, May 26 at 1117, het upon CFRX of approx. but not exactly 1000 Hz, heard again here, without any modulation detectable. Is anyone else hearing this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
