Glenn Hauser logs September 29-30, 2014

** ANGUILLA [and non]. 6090, Sept 30 at 0535, PMS modulation has some distortion at peaks, not the case with otherwise // 5935 WWCR. Why should we refer to this station as ``Caribbean Beacon`` when it never IDs as such, much less broadcasts anything about the Caribbean, just Dead Gene Scott or his widow and heir to the business? Also a low audible heterodyne, which could be Kaduna, Nigeria, reported as 6089.85 or 6089.86 lately (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AUSTRALIA. Despite this earlier log of mine: ``15300, Sept 19 at 0532, RA `Pacific Beat` announcement that Australia Network TV will cease Sept 28, but from Sept 29, ABC will provide some kind of limited TV service. We`ll see if that still occupy `The World` 12-13 UT slot Tue-Fri on 9580, 12065 et al.``

Here it is Sept 30 at 1245 on 9580, 12065, et al., and it`s still obviously audio track of a TV newscast, from oblique references to visuals, and annoying audio background which video casts like to include, when pure radio produxion would not.

Item in progress is interviewing Uighurs in East Turkistan, rather incomprehensible without visible subtitles; seems ABC reporters in ``China`` are defying Commie authorities in covering unrest there and in Hong Kong, (and may be slapped with travel restrixions if not expulsion?). 1257 still outro as `The World` and nothing to indicate it would not be continuing. R. Australia/ABC must be as confused as we are about what`s happening to them, and when.

After 1306, `The Daily Planet` is still on with world music, nice cora from Mali, alternating with Mongolian (but we are assured by ``Lucky Oceans``, no throat-singing this time). (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 6180, Sept 30 at 0104, still no signal from RNA, nor even EAST TURKISTAN, tho local device and storm noise level is high (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 18980, Sept 30 at 1319, CNR1 jammer, very poor with flutter, on the Tue/Fri 13-14 UT frequency of RFA Tibetan via Kuwait. No CNR1 jammers heard lower (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6165, Sept 30 at 0105, RHC in correct language! English tonight unlike Spanish all night before last = anteayer.

6000, Sept 30 at 0536, RHC English is absent, again taking a one?-hour break as often but not always from this channel. Still on the other overkill Cuban Four, including 5040 which again has a slight wobble on the carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [non]. 7210-LSB, Sept 30 at 0109, N1NR, Nelson Roig safely in Pennsylvania with anti-Castro rant, sounding like a broadcast, as if he is reading a script --- but he`s been doing this for 40? years so hardly needs one. Only interruptions for 2-way comments confirm it`s not SWBC. Maybe also heckler (dentro-Cuban?) with childish voice, all Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 9315, Sept 30 at 0111, R. Cairo ``Spanish``, open carrier/dead air

9965, Sept 30 at 0114, R. Cairo, Arabic, fair and not distorted but with perpetual whine

11710, Sept 30 at 0116, R. Cairo, ``Spanish``, open carrier/dead air, fair with flutter. Not sure if there is a trace of a het from Argentina on 11711-. If on, should be more of a signal, with Brazil sufficient on other 25mb channels. Is anyone hearing RAE elsewhen or on 15345v?

12070, Sept 30 at 0120, R. Cairo, ``Spanish``, humwhine with maybe a trace of modulation at peaks

13850, Sept 30 at 0543, R. Cairo Arabic, with ME music, poor signal with distortion (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420, Sept 30 at 0112, ERTOpen good signal with Greek music, also on 9935 at 0114 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUATEMALA. 4055, Tuesday Sept 30 at 0537, R. Verdad is missing! Has been quite reliable for months, until 0609*v (except UT Mondays off earlier). Hope not another serious transmitter breakdown (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM [and non]. The evening of Sept 29 (UT Sept 30), viewers of cable channels in Enid via Suddenlink (to which our city fathers in their wisdom granted a cable monopoly) were seeing constant crawlers on Viacom channels, that ``Tonight Suddenlink will drop this channel and 23 more. Call Suddenlink immediately at 877-794-2724 or visit
http://KeepViacom.com for more info.``

Viacom makes a pretty good case against Suddenlink, which they say is highly profitable, but refuses even to negotiate; and one sports channel costs them as much as the 24 Viacom channels, even under the great new deal Viacom is offering.

Apparently these notices were imposed by Viacom, so I wonder if they have a way of limiting them to Suddenlink systems, or they also are visible via all other cable monopolies?

Yet local midnight (0500 UT) comes and goes and nothing happens, as the warnings continue. Now ``tonight`` means 24 hours later? That would make sense, as Sept 30 is the end of month and end of quarter, not Sept 29.

As far as I am concerned, 23 Viacom channels are expendable, the exception being Comedy Central. I happen to know that in Canada, `The Daily Show` and `The Colbert Report` (altho in in the middle of the night) air on free-to-air TV, the CTV Network --- lucky for borderites where the signals can bleed over without blockage --- so are they also available streaming or ondemand online? Yes! for 7 days, TDS is, if not TCR:
http://www.ctv.ca/DailyShowwithJonStewart.aspx
So I try it, but as I also feared, it`s blocked, available only dentro-Canada. If worst comes to worst, must look into the proxy server option. (Of course the huge majority of Canadians even get their FTA broadcast TV via cable, tho they don`t have to.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 13630, Sept 29 at 1420, IRIB IS until 1421* while IRIB IS is also on 13800 which continues with poor signal. 13630 is tail of Japanese hour of VIRI, 500 kW, 60 degrees from Sirjan; while 13800 is head of Russian hour, 500 kW, 322 degrees also from Sirjan and USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN [non]. 15680, Sept 29 at 1412, pop music, poor signal, announcement in Farsi? Bet it`s Radio Farda, and so it is per Aoki: 1230-1430, 100 kW, 108 degrees from Lampertheim, GERMANY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MALI. 5995, Sept 30 at 0545, open carrier with fair signal, no doubt ORTM prior to *0600. Some hope for copy of the always undermodulated signal, but by 0609 recheck, CUBA is back on 6000, blowing it away (and perhaps also fading down) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1430 & 1450, Sept 29 at 1927 UT, exactly same classic rock tunes synchronized on these two weak frequencies, daytime groundwave on caradio from a quiet location in central Enid, Golden Chick parking lot. Each frequency has two OK stations at our periphery: 1430 with KALV Alva and KTBZ Tulsa; 1450 with KSIW Woodward and KGFF Shawnee. By format, we know which pair these have to be: KTBZ and KSIW are sportstalk, so not them. While comparing synchrony also with the G8 portable held out the window, I am getting a 4 Hz SAH on 1430.

(The G8 is normally my companion at restaurant lunches, but Golden Chick is a Faraday Cage so I have to sit outside just to pick up KOSU 91.7; fortunately, plenty of shade and a nice day except for traffic noise, sirens, and occasional fumes) (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 31 & RF 32, Sept 29 at 1510 UT, ``TV-OK``, KXOK-LD Enid, has crashed, now nothing but black and silence on its main channel and its intercity relay channel. It could go on like this for days, weeks, or even months with nobody noticing or caring. Anyhow it`s an improvement over the few boring infomercials they were playing over and over and over, no real programming, altho Zap2It and TV Guide still think it`s with RetroTV, abandoned long ago. Meanwhile, 31-2 continues with color bars, PSIP labeled M-FOX, and 31-3 with same labeled Azteca, which has also been the case for many months. Recheck 24 hours later, Sept 30 at 1450 past 1640 UT: still the same (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OMAN. 9500, Sept 30 at 0112, RSO, Qur`an, poor-fair with flutter, so on correct frequency tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 11795, UT Tue Sept 30 at 0117, REE theme music (not the IS per se), guitar music, Sefarad service opening in judeo-español with three times and frequencies, this one correct, very good. Then talk about ``aña nueva – Rosh Hashana``, 0125 about shofar; 0127 brief cantor; 0130 accurate autotimesig. If REE is self-destructing Oct 1, it would be the very last SW broadcast of this weekly service; no one seems quite sure yet, but maybe not until Oct 15, in which case there will be a couple more (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, Sept 30 at *0114:10, carrier on from SLBC, poor with flutter; 0114:45.5 prélude music starts; -0115:17.0 mistimesignal ends and sign-on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1740 monitoring: confirmed on Area 51 webcast, and presumably WBCQ 5110v-CUSB, UT Monday Sept 29 from 0301.5. Next:
Tuesday 1100 on WRMI, 9955
Wednesday 0630 & 1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio, 7265-CUSB
Wednesday 1315 on WRMI, 9955
Wednesday 2100 on WBCQ, 7490v
Friday 2130 on WRMI, 7570 & 15770 (presumably instead of 1741)
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13554-CW, Sept 30 at 0121, AZ is the only Hifer beacon audible now; repeats nothing but ID 16 times per minute. Is de Oro Valley AZ, and last logged on Sept 9 at 0231. Some QRM from 13558-LSB 2-way speech, Spanish? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13564-CW, Sept 29 at 1419, GNK is the only Hifer beacon audible in the Part 15 band, and vs CODAR swishes. It`s the one in Madison WI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 620, Sept 30 at 0549 UT, teeny-bopper music, as R. Disney, KMIK Plano/The Metroplex TX continues on the air beyond what had been forecast of closedown by all but one R. Disney AM stations. It`s now been widely reported that they will stay on until each one has been sold off. Hey, 620 should go back to Wichita Falls, as if anyone wanted it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 880, Sept 30 at 0558 UT, SRN News dominating frequency from E/W, no doubt KHAC NM, which has been cheating with day facilities at night for some time now, soon confirmed by the local weather minute I was expecting at 0559 UT, and legal ID as from ``Tse Bonito-Window Rock-Gallup`` before 0600 UT back to Christian music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 890, Sept 29 at 1219 UT, with KTLR OKC nulled, no problem hearing ``Sportstalk 106.1`` cross-promo, and shortly KDXU ID in passing, from St George UT, again suspected on ND 10 kW day pattern instead of direxional away from WLS at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1360, Sept 29 at 1925 UT, KAHS El Dorado KS, weak groundwave signal of EWTN station also has a low audible heterodyne when monitoring caradio from a quiet location in central Enid (parking lot of Golden Chick). Possibly a local device, but the band seems clean otherwise, so may one of two Texans is off-frequency: KDJW Amarillo or 50 kW KMNY Hurst TX (Metroplex), both of which have extremely unfavorable daytime patterns toward us. KDJW is another EWTN and KMNY is Spanish, but I can`t tell (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1530, Sept 30 at 0129 UT, C&W music, VG & dominant looping NW/SE. No doubt cheater KCMN Colorado Springs, as quickly confirmed by mention of ``Front Range`` and ``I-25 Radio Network``. NO WCKY to be heard; yet propagation is fine from further 1100 WTAM Cleveland (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VIETNAM [non]. 12005, Sept 30 at 0119, VOV English via Woofferton UK, again with VG signal, unlike one binite ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic carrier search, Sept 29 at 0517-0520: JBA carriers on 549, 621, 684, 711, 747, 774, 882 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 740, Sept 30 at 0141 UT, with KRMG Tulsa nulled, I hear some Spanish, and a LAH rumble from an off-frequency station, not necessarily from the same one. Tnx to KTRH Houston, not much of a factor here, most of the 740 Mexicans are in the periphery, except for XEQN Torreón, Coahuila (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1090, Sept 30 at 0133 UT, Spanish talk with caller, IBOC QRM from KRLD, 1093, reduced by tuning to 1088; get a pretty good DF on it as about the same direxion as KRLD, and also with KAAY nulled. 0134 mentions ``Palacio de Bellas Artes`` along with music with a beat. I am hoping that will lead to Cuba or México but it leads to both. Best DF fit would be XEFC Mérida, Yucatán. The only Cuban listed, 1 kW in Las Tunas, seems unlikely (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1190, Sept 30 at 0132 UT, amid heavy QRM, something in Spanish which loops roughly NE/SW. Not aware of any SS US stations nearby, so could be Monterrey or Juárez, supposedly 100 watts at night, or XEWK Guadalajara, 10 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs September 28, 2014

** CUBA. 6165, Sept 28 at 0108, still 0122, 0133, RHC in wrong language, Spanish instead of English, leaving the latter to only a paltry unifrequency, 6000. Several others checked were also in proper Spanish instead of English to compensate: 5040, 6060, 6070, 11670, 11760, 11840; probably JBA 9810, 15230.

6165, next check at 0509 Sept 28, it`s *still* in Spanish, but now there is English on usual quadrifrequency overkill of 5040, 6000, 6060, 6100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 9315, Sept 28 at 0111, R. Cairo Spanish service, almost dead air except for traces at modulation peaks

9965, Sept 28 at 0114, R. Cairo, Arabic, undermodulated and whining

11710, Sept 28 at 0116, R. Cairo Spanish, fair signal but dead air

12070, Sept 28 at 0116, R. Cairo Spanish, dead air except whine (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420 & 9935, Sept 28 at 0111 & 0113, ERTOpen with music, good signals, and JBA on 15630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 15410, Sept 28 at 1129, talk in Thai past 1130, poor with flutter, yet one of the better signals on band at this hour. Aoki shows it`s AIR at 1115-1200, 250 kW, 120 degrees from Panaji, GOA site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 870, Sept 28 at 1158, Mexican music, presumably not XETAR which is a daytimer starting at 1200. This one loops further south; remnant WWL easily nulled. 1200 SEP federal PSA, then PSAs for the state of Zacatecas! 1203 AM & FM ID for 89.1 and 870, Radio [two syllables]. No 870 Zacs in WRTH 2014 or IRCA 2013, but Cantú shows a newish entry still lacking any power info:
870 XEXM Radio Jerez + FM 89.1 Zacatecas, Zac. (Desde Jerez)
IRCA cross-reference shows this call was previously on 1150. WRTH agrees it was 5/1 kW there, so 870 is presumably an upgrade; and full name of place is Jerez de García Salinas. It would have been the very last entry as ZC08 but the state-by-state station info ends with ZC07!

Via Cantú the closest thing to a website is FB for the Zer Group,
https://www.facebook.com/GrupoRadiofonicoZer
but in which I find only a passing reference to Zacatecas in Sept 2013. Apparently the group has been growing, adding new outlets, mostly FM, over the past year. Header mentions these states only: Aguascalientes, Zacatecas. México DF, Jalisco, Colima, Sonora. In the DF, Zer has the 1650 X-bander which still eludes me.

By 1203 a SAH is showing, and by 1209 XETAR is taking over 870 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 920, Sept 28 at 1205, choral Mexican anthem, heavy QRM but roughly from SSW, 1207 full ID but unreadable. Two from Coahuila and one from Chihuahua most likely (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 980, Sept 28 at 1212, kids choral Mexican anthem at odd hour, maybe overslept, loops WSW, 1213 instead of full ID, right into ``Buenos días`` by live announcer, but no details, into music. Chihuahua or maybe Sonora likely. At 1217, not necessarily same station, 5-letter call which would only be XEDCH in Delicias, Chihuahua; and another call tentatively XENR which is Melchor Múzquiz, Coahuila (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1170, Sunday Sept 28 at 1156 UT, rock music from KFAQ + IBOC noise, also after 1200 UT. This is supposed to be a talk station. Schedule at
http://www.1170kfaq.com/shows/lineups
shows Sunday at 7-7:30 am [CDT], `The Place for Parties`, with no further link, but I suppose that could explain the music, altho who`s partying at 7 am Sunday? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, Sept 28 at 0100, JBA carrier from R. Chaski until cutoff at 0101:53*, confirming autotimer reset to some 10 minutes earlier in the last few days (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, Sept 28 at 0114, SLBC open carrier, poor with flutter; 0114:46 music starts; 2+1 timesignal ends at 0115:18, right on mistime (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1739 monitoring: confirmed another replay of last week`s on WRMI, 5950, UT Sunday Sept 28 after 0100. Only poor signal but no CCI or ACI, Bolivia off?

WORLD OF RADIO 1740 monitoring: confirmed on KVOH, 9975, UT Sunday Sept 28 from 0131, good signal, some hum. Next:

UT Monday 0259v on Area 51 via WBCQ, 5109v-CUSB
Tuesday 1100 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 0630 & 1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio, 7265-CUSB
Wednesday 1315 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 2100 on WBCQ 7490v
Friday 2130 on WRMI 7570 & 15770 (probably instead of 1741)
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Sunday Sept 28 at 1142, WRMI good signal but LAH from TAIWAN, during S/SW Asian fill music, 1145 into `Tell the World Ministry` as CCI grows. Until 1145 was supposed to be `Sound Doctrine`, the same show which was also missing Thursday at 1300. WRMI has a nice selexion of international fill music we always anticipate.

Jeff White explains why all the WRMI frequencies were off Sept 27 at 0527: ``power outage`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VIETNAM [non]. 12005, Sept 28 at 0117, VOV in English is very poor, as the MUF is down: it won`t take much of a disturbance to knock out this darker and darker path from UK, yet destined to stay here another month. Time to shift to Ascension or lower band already (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. TP carrier search, Sept 28 at 1149-1153: JBA carriers on 774, 594, 693, 1053, not checked higher; likely Japan & Korea. Our sunrise today: 1224 UT (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs September 26-27, 2014

** AFGHANISTAN [non]. 9695, Sept 27 at 1319, ``VOA Deewa Radio`` mentioning Pakistan a few times, in Pashto, good with flutter. Per Aoki this is 1300-1500, 250 kW, 311 degrees via Udon Thani, THAILAND. I expect this provides ACI in Asia to AIR GOS on 9690 at 1330-1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 6180, Sept 27 at 0110, still no sign of RNA on what used to be a strong service (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 6070, Sept 27 at 0531, no signal from CFRX, even tho CUBA is finished here by 0400. CFRX return is allegedly imminent:

``Now for some good news for a change! Steve Canney, who is the QSL manager for CFRX, tells us that the transmitter, which had been off the air for quite a while, has been repaired and is running into a dummy load to make sure everything is working properly. The plan is to switch it over to the antenna next week. Hopefully, it will be heard despite RHC having recently taken over its 6070 frequency. Now, wouldn't it be a show of good faith on the part of RHC to move to another frequency? (Mark Coady, Sept 22, ODXA YRX via WORLD OF RADIO 1740, DXLD)``

[and non]. RHC is scheduled 23-04 UT. Other main 6070 clash is V. of Korear in Japanese, 0900-1250 (maybe with breaks before hourtops). Aoki also shows R. Capital, Rio, Brasil, 24h but I don`t think it`s active. And VOA São Tomé at 2000-2030 only, not a problem over here (Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 1740, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, Sept 27 at 0532, RHC English AWOL again from this frequency, still on overkill 5040, 6060, 6100, 6165 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also CANADA [and non]

** EGYPT. 11710, Sept 27 at 0106, R. Cairo fair signal and extremely distorted Spanish // stronger 12070 with about the same defect plus hum. 11710 had been missing for a few weeks, but when on was barely modulated or not at all. Too bad it`s now back like this, and worse for poor RAE --- except for the second night, no signal at all from it on 11711-; Argentina must be totally off.

9315, Sept 27 at 0107, third R. Cairo Spanish frequency is best by default tho with some distortion. At least it`s modulating this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420 & 9935, Sept 27 at 0108, another off-night for ERTOpen (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRELAND [non]. 17495, Sept 27 at 1530, fair signal with RTE special broadcast of hurling replay, the Sept 7 match having been a draw. High level of background noise, sounds more like a carace; is that just the crowd? Also JBA on 11980. WRN provided the frequencies for this in advance via the DXLD yg:

15-17 7300, 11980, 17495;
17-19 6040, 11980, 17490

The 17s are presumably Woofferton UK; the 6s & 7s presumably Meyerton, South Africa; not sure about 11980 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 540, Sept 27 at 0535-0537, three full IDs within two minutes from ``XETX y XHTX, ¡¡La Ranchera de Paquimé!!``, Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua. Listed by IRCA as 5/1 kW, dominant signal altho when nulled, pop music is probably XEWA SLP, allegedly 150 kW ND. IRCA Mexican Log also shows XETX closing at 0400, but not so. Such frequent canned IDs are great for DXers but must be rather tiresome for local listeners (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OMAN [and non]. 15140, Sept 27 at 0105, Qur`an barely audible undermixing with Chinese music and talk, i.e. CRI via Xi`an during this hour only. 15140 is supposed to be used by RSO at 14-22 only, but they keep forgetting(?) to change to 15355 at 2200, and to 9500 at 0000, where nothing is heard tonight. When 9500 is really on, that signal is good (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, R. Chaski having been off by 0105 UT Sept 26, on Sept 27 I am monitoring from 0059, JBA carrier, and it goes off circa 0102* but I am not watching my watch at the moment for an exact timing; to be refined following another reset, as the ~6-second later precession must begin again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO monitoring: confirmed another replay of last week`s #1739, Friday Sept 26 at 2130.5 on WRMI 15770 and much weaker 7570; instead of a double-ID before, there was fill music at 2130.0-2130.5. Next:

UT Sunday 0100 on WRMI, 5950 [could be 1739 or 1740]
UT Sunday 0131 on KVOH, 9975 [1740 henceforth:]
UT Monday 0259v on Area 51 via WBCQ, 5110v-CUSB; etc.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5950, UT Sat Sept 27, WRMI but `Radio Enlace` from Radio Nederland is opening, feature about Isla de Pascua; must be the scheduled `Antena DX` program with an archival replay. Only poor signal as it`s WRMI-14 aimed 181 degrees. Expect WORLD OF RADIO, 24 hours later.

11825, 11580, 9955, 7730, 7570, 7455, 5850, Sept 27 at 0527 check, I notice that all these WRMI frequencies are off (altho the other two, 15190 and 15770 could have been on and as usual not propagating at this hour). 11 MHz should have been OK with WEWN audible on 11870, 11520. Wonder what happened? This cleared 9955 for pulse jamming only and 7455 for RTTY only. By next check at 1257, 9955 is back on with `Viva Miami` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5110v-CUSB, 7490v, and 9330v-CUSB, UT Sat Sept 27 at 0103, WBCQ with `Allan Weiner Worldwide` as he`s discussing challenges facing small businesses such as his, and none of these are in synch with the others, why? 9330 has an especially good signal. Nothing on 15420 in case fourth transmitter were added (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505+, Sept 27 at 0109, WRNO with music, very distorted, worse than usual. What a sorry excuse for a radio station (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

(WRN via Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs September 26, 2014

** AUSTRALIA. 9580, Friday Sept 26 at 1305 UT, R. Australia finally matches its broadcast to its schedule: `Keys to Music`, about Monteverdi`s ``Orfeo``, which was the beginning of Opera, extended excerpts with commentary.

I just love Monteverdi`s melodies if not his religiously-inspired subject matter, but what else was there in the XVI-XVII centuries? RA had been airing another weekly musical show, `Sound Quality` in this slot, as I dub it, ``the convergence between noise and music``, also interesting.

Bringing up the online RA program schedule, it automatically detects ``my`` timezone, which it now displays as ``London``! Previously cookies remembered it was UT, but without resetting, all the times are now UT+1. Please, too `smart` for its own good. And when I click on the link to Keys to Music, I instead get the RA homepage with Top Stories in the news! Hovering over other program titles, this happens with all of them.

As previously announced, Australia Network (television) is abolished, so what about `The World` simulcast? This schedule for (next??) Tuesday still shows that program at `1300` BST (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 18980, Sept 26 at 1340, CNR1 jammer, very poor with flutter, vs RFA Tibetan via Kuwait. No others found in cursory scan of the 17s, 16s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11570, Sept 26 at 1410, here`s the obsessive anti-Christ, pro-Yahweh guy preaching with his usual lo-fi but punchy audio. 1411, ``Thank you so much for tuning in to Station YHWH``, and back to stuff from Ezekiel. Still going past 1425.

Eyeballing on the analog dial of FRG-7, I at first assumed it was 11565, one of his announced and preferred frequencies, but not now. It`s slightly lower from 11570 than WRMI is from 7570, but I`m not sure which one is further off nominal, assuming I can rely on matching precision of the Frog`s MHz-tuning.

His 11570 signal is stronger than the 11580 combination of WRMI and KTWR, but weaker than the other gospel huxters on 11550, 11590, 11715. KJES, BTW, also invokes the name Yahweh, hardly conventionally Catholic as they pretend to be. I`m guessing Station YHWH is at least 10 kW, and with its frequent and reliable appearances, could easily have been pinpointed by now if anyone, even the FCC, cared to do so (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1740 monitoring: no-show on WWRB, 3185, Sept 26, scheduled for UT Friday at 0330. Monitoring webcast first, but apparently same a couple dekaseconds earlier on 3185: 0327 previous preacher interrupted, but instead of WOR, switches to Deuteronomy reading, i.e. the overnight fill-service normally on webcast after 0400. This kept switching back and forth the next several minutes, finally staying on the Bibling past 0345.

Let us hope for better luck hence: Friday 2130 on WRMI 7570 & 15770, UT Sun 0100 on 5950 --- but one or both of these could be 1739 replay. More likely to air WOR 1740 are: Sat 0630 & 1430, HLR, 7265-CUSB; UT Sun 0131, KVOH, 9975; UT Mon 0300v, Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 17540, Sept 26 at 1342, open carrier, good and steady, like RHC but not CRI East Turkistan nearby; then a bit of music (harp?) and off. Suspect it`s Greenville with transmitter check well prior to the 1930 broadcast in French on 17530 --- but testing on 17540 to avoid QRMing VOA Somali via Vatican now on 17530. Such test-only frequencies are SOP at VOA.

Otherwise, scheduled users of 17540 later are WHRI with NHK at 2130; Madagascar with R. Impala at 1700; or even Cuban Spy Numbers at 2300, per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs September 25-26, 2014

** BRAZIL [non]. 6180, Sept 26 at 0053, CRI English, poor signal via EAST TURKISTAN, and no signal at all from RNA, despite 11780 inbooming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11815+, Sept 26 at 0051, Portuguese on fair signal, no doubt R. Brasil Central, but heavily splattered by 11825 WRMI BS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 15190.08 approx., Sept 26 at 0046, very poor carrier, presumably R. Inconfidência, always off-frequency. Wolfgang Büschel had it Sept 23 at 2020 on 15190.124. Try before and after WRMI/Radio Africa currently sked 21-23 and 04-08 BS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 1610, UT Friday Sept 26 at 0057, outro in English mentions ``8-9 pm on Thursday evenings``, snippet of ``Battle Hymn of the Republic``, phone and e-mail contacts for advertising, on CHHA Toronto. Very poor signal but audible most of the time with nothing in between except some QRP TIS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, Sept 25 at 0511 check, this RHC transmitter is still with wobbling carrier, also audible without BFO, now amid English.

18210 // weaker 12140, Sept 26 at 0052, // 6070 as third and second harmonix of that, still without CFRX, but when it come back shortly, we may have to hear Habana on the QRMless harmonix (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 9965, Sept 26 at 0038, R. Cairo, good with flutter, whine and then Qur`an.

12070, Sept 26 at 0038, R. Cairo, fair signal, extremely distorted music

9315, Sept 26 at 0039, R. Cairo, open carrier/dead air, fair signal

11710, Sept 26 at 0040, very poor carrier, dead air? No het from Argentina, which must be off 11711-, as Brazilians are in well (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO [and non]. 650, Sept 25 at 0512 UT, Los Mochis ads, mentioning Grupo Chávez, Radio Viva, but this is Radio 65, XETNT in Sinaloa. Mutually nullable with talk station in English, no doubt KGAB in WY --- and hardly any sign of WSM Nashville, unusual as it`s usually dominant (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6876-AM, Sept 25 at 0030, rock music, fair signal, checked following tip from John Poet that a TCS relay would be on tonight, starting between 2330 and 0000. After, ``Sugar, Sugar``, 0036 ``You`re riding The Crystal Ship Bubblegum Express on the TCS Relay Network``; 0037 ``I`m a Believer``; 0047 weakening a bit, announcement with ID as above, website; 0110 still going with contact info, Tarzan yodel (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OMAN. 9500, Sept 26 at 0044, no signal from RSO; nor on 15355, but a JBA carrier on 15140 which could be this (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, Sept 26 at 0038, JBA carrier from presumed R. Chaski but recheck at 0105 no carrier, so may have reset timer instead of cutting off after 0112 which it would have reached by now. 5970 Brasil carrier still audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** UKRAINE [non]. 11580, Sept 25 at 2330.5, RUI IS and English half-hour, first edition of new relay via WRMI. After the news, at 2336 `Ukrainian Perspective` mostly about the conflict with Russia; 2347 `Reading Lounge` introducing Uke lit, the Thursday feature. Sounded like titled ``St John`s Eve`` by the author a.k.a. by his Russian name, Nikolai Gogol. Closing cut short at 2359.5 for ID, and back to Brother Scare. Good signal even here tho aimed NE from Okeechobee; replaces WORLD OF RADIO on Thu and a bunch of other place-holders on other days of week. Jeff White probably made this deal at last month`s HFCC in Sofia. Great to have RUI back on SW, tho it was their own fault for abolishing it previously (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1740 monitoring: confirmed first SW airing UT Thursday Sept 25 at 0330 on WRMI, 9955; fair-good signal, one of best on band; yet pales by comparison to 9790 CRI via CUBA blasting in, even desensitizing 9765-9815 or so on the FRG-7.

WOR 1740 also confirmed until 1259 UT Thursday Sept 25 on WRMI, 9955. CCI from France in Chinese via TAIWAN audible underneath. ACI from persistent 9960 RTTY also annoying.

The Thursday 2330 on 11580 has been canceled due to the new strip of UKRAINE relays daily, q.v. Next:

UT Friday 0330v on WWRB, 3185
Friday 2130 on WRMI, 7570 & 15770 [maybe 1739]
Saturday 0630 & 1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio, 7265-CUSB
UT Sunday 0100 on WRMI, 5950 [may be 1739]
UT Sunday 0131 on KVOH, 9975
UT Monday 0259v on Area 51 via WBCQ, 5110v-CUSB
Tuesday 1100 on WRMI, 9955
Wednesday 0630 & 1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio, 7265-CUSB
Wednesday 1315 on WRMI, 9955
Wednesday 2100 on WBCQ, 7490v
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Thu Sept 25 at 1300, following WORLD OF RADIO and WRMI ID, fill music, starting with nice Mideast vocal. Instead of scheduled `Sound Doctrine` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See UKRAINE

** U S A. 1070, Sept 25 at 0518 UT, YL says ``KNX News Radio time, 8:18`` --- except it`s 10:18 pm PDT. Maybe she slips, inside a 24-hour studio; or maybe KNX repeats news segment from 2 hours ago and fails to clip out the timecheck? KNX is easily heard here at night, close to right angle from annoying KLIO Wichita, always off-frequency producing fast SAH, with sportstalk in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1520, Sept 25 at 0522 UT, fast rippling SAH tearing up KOKC OKC, but no modulation audible from the offender. It`s like this most of the time at night here now. Assuming it`s a daytimer leaving its carrier on at night, several possibilities in mid-America, from IL, IA, ND, SD, TX (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15151-USB, Sept 26 at 0045, colloquial Spanish 2-way, poor at best, with ``engine noise``, poachers or narcotraffickers intruding. I had three previous logs on these on 15151: at 1519 UT October 23, 2006; at 1458 UT Oct 19, 2009; and at 1426 UT Oct 30, 2013 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs September 24, 2014

** ARGENTINA. 11711-, Sept 24 at 0246, RAE in English, music, fair signal, steady with no flutter; 0253 already playing IS prior to 0300 French. Closer, non-trans-equatorial stations are disturbed or inaudible while this holds up nicely (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, Sept 24 at 0547, RHC English still with wobbly carrier on this frequency (and some degradation of modulation), while the other four are OK (Glenn Hauer, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 9965, Sept 24 at 0238, R. Cairo, Arabic service, but only a whine to be heard, and signal only poor with flutter, due to propagation disturbance.

13850, Sept 24 at 0536, R. Cairo, distorted Arabic on poor signal with humwhine (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ETHIOPIA. 6110, Sept 24 at 0256, neat interval signal over and over prior to sign-on, from R. Fana with fair strength.

5950, Sept 24 at 0256, music, maybe another IS, on much weaker signal than 6110 Fana, i.e. Voice of Tigray Revolution, prior to its own opening at 0300. Both listed in Aoki as 100 kW ND from Addis Ababa but presumably different sites (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE [and non]. 15630, Sept 24 at 1349, Greek music from ERTOpen, fair with CCI. They should stay on 15650 at all hours between 01 and 24 when there is no co-channel.

Now on 15630 at 13-15 is also R. Free Chosun via UZBEKISTAN. In B-14 this may move to Tajikistan on same, or to Uzbekistan on 7555 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 13630, Sept 24 at 1322, VIRI IS, fair signal, 1323 opening Japanese hour, which is 500 kW, 60 degrees from Sirjan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13564-CW, Sept 24 at 1358, Hifer beacon GNK with continuous Morse-code IDs from Madison WI is quite weak but copiable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7305, Sept 24 at 0245 tune-in just in time to hear last few notes of Vatican IS and off, conclusion of Spanish relay via IBB Greenville, violating Separation of Church and State. Official start at 0200, but I often find the carrier on as much as 10 minutes earlier. Normally a good signal, but with propagation disturbance tonight, heavy flutter, most unusual for GB to here. WWV reported at 0300 UT:

``Geophysical Alert Message
Solar-terrestrial indices for 23 September follow.
Solar flux 138 and estimated planetary A-index 11.
The estimated planetary K-index at 0300 UTC on 24 September was 4.
Space weather for the past 24 hours has been minor.
Radio blackouts reaching the R1 level occurred.``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1739 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday Sept 24 from 1315.5 on 9955, WRMI. Next: 2100 on WBCQ, 7490v. Hope to have #1740 ready to go by 0330 UT Thu Sept 25 on WRMI 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505+, Sept 24 at 0246, WRNO with very heavy flutter, most unusual, during propagation disturbance. Note that this signal is from south of here, not north. Yet the aurora, which visibly remains north of the Canadian border may be heavily affecting it. Not all US signals are subject to this. WRNO`s azimuth is 20 degrees toward the auroral zone (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3215, Sept 24 at 0250, WWCR usual good signal but some flutter fading, unusual on this low a frequency, during propagation disturbance (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Sept 24 at 0540, WRMI with good signal, even better than usual despite or because of propagation disturbance affecting others; but playing fill music instead of Eslovaquia. The MUF is circa 10-11 MHz over this path, since 11825 BS is JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9265, UT Wed Sept 24 at 0239, WINB with OM gospel huxter in English but his sermon consecutively translated by YL into Spanish. Consulting the online program schedule,
http://www.winb.com/schedule.htm
still dated August 17, and still erroneously showing 13570, finds:
``Tuesday ET 10:00P / Wed-0200...Avivamiento Hoy``
Since it`s the last program of the day, we have no idea how long it is, without any subsequent entry, but evidently a full hour. One other time for it: UT Thu 0200 = 24 hours later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11550, Sept 24 at 1320, WEWN is open carrier/dead air, and then goes off the air at 1321*; meanwhile // Spanish on 12050 is OK. Recheck at 1353, now 11550 is too back on with Vatican Radio relay translating the Pope (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11649.5-SSB, Sept 24 at 1324, very weak 2-way in Spanish INTRUDERS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
