** BOLIVIA. 5952.4, Sept 30 at 0049 no signal from Radio Pio Doce, just jamming bleed from 5955; off the air early on Sunday night? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 4877 approx., Sept 30 at 0052, spurblob centered about here, apparently accompanying carrier on 4875 from Rdif. Roraima, but not on the lo side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9665.75, Sept 30 at 0110, Voz Missionária, Portuguese talk is even further off-frequency than when it was constantly hetting the deleted Voice of Russia. I could tell it was closer to 9666 than 9665 on the DX-398 before measuring it by counting 40-Hz clix with BFO compared to WWV (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LITENING DIGEST)
** CHAD. 6165-, Sept 30 at 0050, JBA carrier, surely not RNT which must be off tonight; RHC on by 0101 in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [non]. 5990, Sept 30 at 0100, CRI English opening as the Cubans have left the transmitter on after the Spanish broadcast which should close by 0057 and usually is off before 0100. Paul James says this will be an abbreviated Beijing Hour due to some national holiday. Still on past 0105 when I quit (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DGIEST)
** CUBA. 6000, Sept 30 at 0101, RHC missing, while this time, English on 6165 has already started (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9420, UT Monday Sept 30 at 0111, ERA3 is playing Dvorak`s New World Symphony, more classical music on Sunday nights here; good here, // quite weaker 7475 which is also undermodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 11740 // 11985, Sept 30 at 0047, AIR Sinhala service with same music on both frequencies, but presumably out of synch. This time 11740 GOA is considerably stronger than 11985 Khampur, tho still with flutter. Still music at 0103 and //. Seems this semi-hour is mostly music instead of news/talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Since news arrived that 1640 KOAG Enid would soon as of Sept 30 flip to True Oldies, which has been on its sibling station 99.7 KZLS Mustang, I monitor the latter Sept 29 at 2246 UT, and find it has already flipped to: ``Country Legends 99.7, Hank FM``. Altho did not hear legal ID; on the caradio have to be careful not to confuse it with the CCI from Wichita.
(1680 KRJO Monroe LA also just flipped to Country Legends, but no Hank; tried // but music was not the same). From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
``Branding: HANK FM
Slogan: Plays Everything Country
First air date: March 25th, 2005
Format: Country music & Classic Country
Owner: Envision Radio Networks
Website: http://hankfmradio.com
Hank FM is the on-air brand name of several radio stations in the United States and Canada. Stations using the Hank FM brand name typically air a country music & Classic Country format, and promote themselves as less strictly formatted than other country music stations, airing both new country and classic country music. They generally use the slogan (He) Plays Everything Country on their country music "Hank FM" branded radio stations or "Plays Country Legends" on their Classic Country "Hank FM" radio stations.
The format was conceived and is owned by Howard Kroeger - creator of the BOB FM format. Kroeger also provides the voice for HANK. The name may be inspired by legendary country musician Hank Williams. However, one station currently branded as Hank FM is not consistent with the format of the other stations, using the brand name for an adult hits format more similar to the Jack or Bob formats.

** PERU. 5980, Sept 30 at 0048, R. Chaski carrier audible in heavy splash from CRI 5990 via CUBA, which tonight runs way late after switch to English at 0100, still going past 0105, but I can yet make out the Chaski cutoff at 0105:34.5* which computes at 6.5 seconds later than last night; maybe margin of error in play (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 9775-10000, Sept 30 at 0107, the modulation spur spikes from 10000 WWV can be heard in clear spots all the way down to 9775, during marine weather segment; perhaps that part is overmodulated worse than the others; at least I keep noticing this problem during it. It`s worse closer to 10000, and can even be heard underneath the very strong 9965 Cairo carrier which has plenty of problems of its own, not including overmodulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7506.4, Sept 30 at 0102, WRNO is missing. Never got around to rechecking before 0400; usually it`s on a few minutes before 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
