** ARGENTINA. 15343.90, June 27 at 0119, S3 Radio Nacional with
hyper-enthusiastic silly ballgame coverage, but seemingly interrupted by brief
commercials during lulls. Argentina is obviously one of the teams, and as a
matter of fact this is the finale of the Copa América, vs Chile, as per
promotion on Univisión which has scheduled it until 0200 UT. So one last try to
find any SSB feeders carrying this from Chile or Argentina: still nothing on
12365-USB, nor from anything in a bandscan all the way from 12 to 16 MHz in the
next few minutes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL.
11815.0, June 27 at 0056, my wish has been granted, as Rádio Brasil Central
provides better reception than last time, now up to S2, some peaks to S3 during
music past 0100 until 0102 quick ID as ``Rádio Brasil Central, Goiânia``, and
back to music. Nothing audible on 4985 with all that heavy RTTY. As the Goiás
state government station, RBC is to be cherished vs all the gospel huxters
infesting the Brazilian SW dial, and if the federal station RNA be closed, RBC
will become even more vital (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

NORTH AMERICA. 6873.55, June 27 at 0048, JBA carrier, the only sign of activity
on the pirate band. Numerous logs here from further east, especially New
England, between 0018 and 0127 say it`s Pirate Radio Boston, featuring Weird
Al:
Initial
thread header says 6873.4, later 6873.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** OKLAHOMA. 1640, June 27 at 0133 UT check, KZLS Enid is still
off. If this keep up much longer, may call or visit station re what`s up (Glenn

** PERU. 5980, June 27 at 0102, JBA
carrier from R. Chaski, until cutoff at 0103:00.5*, which is 12.5 seconds later
than two nights ago, or slipping 6.25 per (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 7780, June 27 at 0049, (while I am
holding forth on 7730, WRMI), Brother Scare is re-re-re-replaying his May
31-June 1 bit criticising me for publishing what people hear him say, dimbulb
accusing me of saying it, instead of Harold Frodge who would very much like BS
to mention him by name (pronounced with a long O). Exactly the same thing about
Napoleon not ruling Michigan, etc., as described in DXLDs 16-20 and 16-22, so I
won`t go into that again (but see UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS in DXLD 16-26). Soon
talks about Venezuela, which he hasn`t a clue how to pronounce. Hey God, please
enlighten Your Prophet – it`s not quite too late! Or Brother Jeff could help him
with that. Thus it`s on all the other WRMIBS frequencies now, plus about 10
seconds later on 7489.90 WBCQ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

SRI LANKA. 11905, June 27 at *0114:41.5, SLBC carrier cuts on at S1 and seems
strong enough to detect modulation, but cannot hear any music prélude or
mis-timesignal, dead air past 0116. At 0145 recheck seems still DA or maybe just
barely modulated. In the minute before *cut-on, there were utility-like blaaps,
perhaps unrelated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** UGANDA
[non]. 15240, Sunday June 26 at 1852, checking WWRB for Radio Munansi before
it`s over at 1900: a song is running, but sounds very strange, extremely bass
voice and slow pace, as if played back at half speed, altho the instrumental
accompaniment does not sound so slow/low, but probably also semispeed; was just
much higher pitched and fast to start with (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1831 monitoring: confirmed UT Monday
June 27 at 0020, WRMI, 7730, (following slightly overlapping ad by The Smart
Money Guy), S9+20 on the R75 with inside antenna due to storm; by 0047 on the
NRD-545 with ALA330 antenna, it`s S9+40. Also confirmed UT Monday June 27 at
0300 sharp from Area 51 webcast; 5130 not checked until 0344, but it is on with
HRI, fair signal. Also confirmed UT Monday 0344 during WRMI 9955 broadcast from
0330, fair. Next:

** U S
A. 5049.99, UT Monday June 27 at 0108, WWRB is on with very strong signal,
gospel huxter asserting that ``Our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ is going to
return on July 29, 2016, end-of-the-world, get yourself together`` as his audio
feed is breaking up. Well, we won`t have long to debunk that; then what? No idea
who he is as I`m not listening to this nonsense any further and WWRB does not
provide a program schedule. See also UGANDA [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. Re WBCQ announcement on June 18: ``Another
new/special program, `Tom Cole? Theater`, with No Longer Amen? which is oldtime
radio drama airing several times around the July 4 weekend on all frequencies,
starting on 7490, June 26 at 5 pm [ET = Sunday 21 UT --- bumping `Marion`s
Attic` ???]`` --- now it`s June 26 at 2153 so I try to detect whether it`s
Marion`s Attic or something else on 7489.937 --- just too weak; but by 2157 I`m
hearing song ``Jealousy``, and announcements identifiably by the voices of
Marion and her sidekickess.
Having left the R-75 on, recheck WBCQ at
0023 June 27 and find it has drifted to 7489.909 during BS. So I also pinpoint
the other WBCQs:
9329.990-CUSB, June 27 at 0024 with Blalock the
Blaster
5129.937-AM, June 27 at 0025, S8 but hardly any modulation. At
0105 June 27, now it`s better and I`ve switched to the NRD-545, measuring it on
5129.92 just as an apparently live DJ says he is on 5.130 Mcs, time at 8:04 pm
somewhere in ----, Arkansas. I try to look up who this is at the Area 51
website, http://www.worldmicroscope.com but
instead it forwards to Larry Will`s other page http://zappahead.tumblr.com/ with stuff
all about June 2015, a year ago! Anyhow, this is `Plastic Magic` as here:

alternates with Johnny Lightning, not made clear on:

** U S A. 12105, June 27 at 0126, WTWW-3
is AWOL. I believe it had been off all afternoon June 26; 9475 WTWW-1 is nominal
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1020, June 27 at
0137 UT, KOKP Perry OK seems off, but I do have an open carrier not strong
enough for this semi-local, slightly on the low side; then two different Spanish
music stations on N/S and E/W antennas, perhaps Nebraska and New Mexico or Cuba
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 13561.95-CW, June
27 at 0123, bipper at the steady rate of 100 per minute. Not hearing any HIFER
beacons with IDs lately, but maybe this match parameters of something I have not
been able to find reported or listed. Ideas? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
