** BANGLADESH. 15505, May 29 at 1358, JBA carrier of BB, 1359 JBA IS, and I can
only make out two pips about 2.5 seconds after 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11710 & 11745 & 11815, May 29 at
0510, crackling spurs from 11780v RNA/RNB but now the overmodulated/distorted
fundamental is also splattering out, making for continuous noise roughly
11750-11810, bleeding into the spurs making them less distinct. Blocking some
other broadcaster on 11750, which would be VOA Hausa via Germany (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 21690, May 29 at 0516,
poor-fair signal from one station in Chinese: either RFA TINIAN or CNR1 jammer.
At least something is propagating in the nightmiddle on 13m (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE. 11995, May 29 at 0500, French news about
FIFA, good with flutter; surprised to hear this, tho a well-known RFI frequency,
not currently scheduled, only 0600-0630 Hausa per HFCC, and 18-22 French per
Aoki and HFCC. Confirmed as RFI by // weaker 11700 and stronger 13695 in the
next few minutes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO.
After a sporadic E opening earlier in the day, fades in again later May 28, all
times UT:
2245 on 2, fade-in Es with illegible bug in upper right corner,
but seems to fit for a clock and +v = XEWO Guadalajara. Also algo on
4
2253 on 2, large FERRUSQUILLA across screen, and narration mentions
Guadalajara. Wikipedia defines:
``José Ángel Espinoza - Wikipedia, the
free encyclopedia

José
Ángel Espinoza Aragón (born August 2, 1922 in Mazatlán, Sinaloa), also known as
Ferrusquilla, is a Mexican film actor and songwriter.``
2256 on 2, short
guy in a body suit with large CH on his chest, i.e. Chespirito, a.k.a. Chapulín
Colorado --- can`t be sure if it`s this recently deceased beloved character or
someone wearing a copysuit:
2310
on 2, `Simpsons` dubbed
2322 on 2, fade-in Spanish ads, CCI
UT
Friday May 29:
0018 on 2, heavier CCI, also algo on 4
0025 on 2,
still `Simpsons`
[unproductive opening continues, but I`ve got to mow
before it rains again]
0159 on 2, still CCI including some silly sports
game involving a pelota, mentions Querétaro (as one of the teams?)
0313
on 2, still weak CCI, and at 0335, and at 0408 and trace when I quit at 0422. I
had kept an eye on the 6m Es map but MUF (over USA) rarely reached FM and
nothing heard on 88.1 pilot (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
SUDAN [and non]. 11645, May 29 at 0508, R. Dabanga in Arabish, fair signal via
VATICAN but with splash from 11635 WHRI in French; while the Sudanese jammer
remains on 11650-AM with 1 kHz DSB tone.
13800, May 29 at 0514, R.
Dabanga in Arabish, good via MADAGASCAR and no tone/carrier jamming audible
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 21630, May 29 at
1404, tune-in to English, clip of oath of office, apparently swearing-in of new
Nigerian leader, back to Hausa from BBC via ASCENSION. No local QRM from KTST
via second harmonic of an FM receiver today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330-CUSB, May 29 at 0454,
surprised to find VG signal here, no doubt WBCQ reactivated; also some
modulation audible on LSB, at least on the DX-398. UnID preacher with Bible
study, runs past 0500 now about a serpent, cuts off circa 0503 when I am not
paying attention, but I think it was abrupt without ID. Apparently a test of
this frequency/transmitter which has been silent for several months. The current
WBCQ program schedule shows zero entries for 9330. Ivo Ivanov just today issued
an updated WBCQ schedule showing 15420 and 9330 not in use (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN. 11625, May 29 at 0506, English news of
conflict and food shortages in Mali, interview someone from World Food Program;
0507 ID as African Service of Vatican Radio, and back to `African News
Panorama`; good signal from SMG site direct despite alleged 184 degree azimuth
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15642.5-USB, May 29
at 1300, intruding 2-way at first unseems Spanish, then it is, mentions ``49
norte`` --- if referring to a latitude position, that`s far from Latin American
drug flight routes, so maybe fishing poachers instead. One with engine noise;
colloquial informal conversation, maybe just to keep each other company;
whistling, poor signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
