Glenn Hauser logs June 15-16, 2012

** CHINA. Firedrake June 16, only one found in non-exhaustive check:
15545, poor at 1233 with flutter
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COSTA RICA. 17700-18000, June 15 at 1846, REE relay on 17850 is outputting modulation spike spurs to this 300 kHz extent, worst in the 17855-17900 range (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CYPRUS. 21600-21625, June 16 at 1751, intruding OTH radar pulses, presumed from here, just missing WHRI 21630, but seriously disrupting REE Spain on 21610. Who manages the OTH frequency selexion, anyway? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. 6080, June 16 at 0527, NHK Radio Japón via BONAIRE is back on tonight, and so is 6110, NHK Radio Japan via CANADA: both are playing exactly the same music fill, but 6080 finishes first and starts closing announcement, including full Spanish schedule until 0530*; 6110 cut off at 0529* just as the English schedule minute was starting. I don`t think Sackville has any immediate demand for this transmitter elsewhere at 0530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** LITHUANIA. 11900, June 16 from *0159:20 with music repeated, IS? 0200 RMRC special report on the EDXC Conference, repeated one week after original messed-up airing, and intact this time; reception maybe slightly better. Mostly in English, included interviews with Dario Monferini, Max van Arnhem, Toshi Ohtake, Tibor Szilagyi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MAURITANIA. 7245, June 16 at 0531 fair signal in Arabish, not chanting yet, but IGIM is on the air earlier than usual, on this Saturday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 15120, June 16 at 0536, VON starting `Weekend Magazine`, with whine, fading. Also at 1753, poor signal in Arabic, music. DX Re Mix News says Arabic in analog is now scheduled 1730-1830 from Ikorodu, then English in DRM at 1830-2000 M-F from Abuja (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1621 monitoring: confirmed on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB, UT Saturday June 16 when checked at 0145, presumably about on time from 0130 this week. Next: UT Sunday 0400 on WTWW 5755; On WRMI 9955: Sunday 0800, 1530, 1730, Monday 0500, 1130; WRN via SiriusXM 120: Sunday 0830, 1730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
