** BANGLADESH. 15505, June 1 at *1400:15, BB carrier is very late cutting on, so
no mistimesignal heard, and furthermore cuts off at 1401:55*, still off past
1404 instead of Urdu (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA.
6165, June 1 at 0601, RHC English is just barely modulated here, but sufficient
on 6100, 6060 and 6000, while 5040 is now off.
19070, June 1 at 1350, RHC
harmonic 2 x 9535 is a JBA carrier, but nothing on 19280 or 19420; correlating
with strong signals from the 16m fundamentals: 17580 at S9, 17730 S9+20. Before
these build up, no way the 19 MHz harmonix will (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH. 4885, June 1 around 1205 I notice no signal from
reliable Echo of Hope, which nominally starts at 1150 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Earthquake report: UT June 2 at 0129:05 or
so, the window rattles briefly as I am recording World of Radio. Could have been
a sonic boom except the jets at Vance seem to be subsonic. Yes, it`s a quake,
soon confirmed by USGS as 3.1 magnitude, only 14 km ESE of Enid, at 0128:54, 6.2
km deep. So this one took only about 11 seconds to get here, one of the closest
we`ve experienced so far. Thank you, beloved Oil & Gas Industry (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 17895+, June 2 at 1456
I am starting to measure how far off-frequency BSKSA is, but Qur`an chopped off
the air at 1457*.
13710.020, June 2 at 1541, I do get this HQS measured,
poor signal. On May 21-22, Wolfgang Büschel pinpointed *all* the BSKSA
frequencies to three or even four decimal places, as in DXLD 16-21. These two he
had on: 17894.999 and 13710.0145 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 9545.00, June 2 at 0700, I`m up late
following completion of World of Radio 1828, so tune around, and very pleased to
find an S9 signal fading to S7 with a commercial in English; right on frequency,
and into ``national news headlines``, 0701 news in detail about the Solomon
Islands, including some clips; police knocking on doors looking for a suspect
soon to be charged; tobacco task force. 0708 mid-ID as ``News from the Solomon
Islands Broadcasting Corporation, SIBC in Honiara``. 0714 repeating the
headlines (seems traditional BBC format), 0715 lengthy weather forecasts for
different islands; 0721 music, still songs at 0744, zzz.
I`m re-awake at
1131 so turn on the R75 to find SIBC is *still* on its day frequency, nothing on
5020, and still S7-S9 with music, 1134 sounds like same announcer as earlier,
1137 more music before I go back to sleep. Some of it may have been in Pijin;
altho always English intonation, some of the words were not understood. Never
any CCI to 9545, but now there is ACI from CRI on both sides, Beijing sites:
9540 in Cantonese, 9550 in Vietnamese. I`ve never had any luck hearing SIBC 9545
before its normal 0500* and this was much better than ever on 5020 (Glenn

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5765, June 1
at 0550 as I tune across WRMIBS, Brother HyStairical is talking about me again,
alleging I am an Agnostic; refutes my comment that his donor-followers are
``suckers``. Also something about Napoleon I really don`t get; he seems to have
done a very poor job of editing different segments together. Then check 5890
WWCR and find it totally not //, playing music only.
Alan Gale sends me a
longer clip of his latest rant and says,
``Hi Glenn, Brother Scare is
just having a go at you on 11580 kHz at
the moment (2257 UT [May 31]), well
at least he gave your WBCQ show a plug, even if unintentional. He was ranting on
about Napoleon; thought he was going to burst a blood vessel. Managed to get
about 80% of it recorded, which is attached.
Don't think he likes being
called Brother Hysterical, but after reading some of the reports about him on
the net, maybe 'Brother Molestair' might be a more appropriate name!
:-D
FG Radio has just taken him off now thankfully, I hate to think what
his blood pressure must be like; all that ranting can't be good for a man of
that age``
The Napoleon reference was in DXLD 16-20, a comment from
Harold Frodge, as clearly attributed, not me! ---
``13695, Overcomer
Ministry via WRMI Radio Miami Int’l (presumed); 1445, 14-May; Bro. HyStairical
said, "Napoleon ruled the known world." An audience BStress immediately shouted
"Halleluhah! {sic}" (Napoleon fan?) B.S. then encouraged his flock to shout, and
a shouting match ensured [sic]. (I wasn’t aware that Napoleon ruled Michigan in
the early 1800’s. I’m fairly sure that Michigan was "known" then.) S9
(Frodge)``
It seems dear Ralph doesn`t take kindly to being mocked. BTW,
credit Harold for the ``Brother HyStairical`` monicker (further propagated by
Ivo Ivanov), like Allan Weiner for ``Brother Scare``; not me (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** THAILAND. 15589.972, June 1 at 0227, HSK9
off-frequency as expected from Udorn, very poor S6 signal on inside antenna vs.
S9-level lightning crashes, just Thai music past 0236 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. 9475, June 2 at 1433, WTWW-1 with horrible modulation
breakup, bits of SFAW here and there on wasted S9+20 signal. Is no one at
station paying attention? Who could blame them for refusing to listen to racist
garbage; if only they would refuse to transmit it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 690, June 1 at 0218 UT check, KGGF
Coffeyville KS is amid a silly baseball game, mentioning Royals, so on that
network from closest major-league city KC. Jim Bohannon formerly started at 0206
UT, but stupid ballgames trump everything, so could still be there when there is
no game. But 0412 UT and 0546 UT rechex, it`s still about Royals, presumably
post-game.
Next night, UT June 2 at 0452 UT check, which should have
been the last few minutes of JimBo, instead it`s some OTR show I don`t recognize
on `When Radio Was`. Circa 0642 UT there`s a local weather break during Fox
Sports --- so KGGF has definitely revamped programming, besides extending past
local midnight, presumably connected with the purchase by sports-manic KWON+
Bartlesville OK cluster (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
