** AUSTRALIA. 12065, Aug 7 at 1343, no signal from RA, but OK on 12085. Tho
always weaker, beamed away from us, 12065 should be detectable if on. 9580
nominal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11866 approx.,
Aug 7 at 0432, extremely distorted spurblob of RNA 11780 // with music, with an
S3 match about 11694, i.e. 86 kHz above and below fundamental. So next I look
for 2 x 86 = 172 kHz above and below: yes, S1 trace of one about 11608 and
matching around 11952.
11541, Aug 8 at 0147, tuning up the 25m band,
first spurblob encountered around here, probably from S9+15 11780 RNA, 239 kHz
away, so I look for another 239 kHz above but hear none around 12019. These
would be second order, so how about halfway between? 11900 and 11660 but none
there; however I do hear suspicious blobs around 11865, 11875, and by 0150 11553
instead of 11541, and then circa 11556, so they are moving around. However, this
time I can`t be sure of parallel audio on 11780 so maybe somethings else (Glenn

** CANADA. 2749-USB, Aug 7 at 0447, YL
with marine weather in English, really under the noise level, but pleased to
hear her at all under such conditions. How much power? Last logged June 30 at
0443, as in DXLD 16-27; per CCG website:
``MCTS Les Escoumins / VCF -

My
previous log of this was as in DXLD 16-03: Jan 17 also at 0443 --- CCG is not

** CONGO. 6115, Aug 7 at 0547,
JBA talk, presumed R. Congo (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Correlates
with EQUATORIAL GUINEA, q.v.
** CUBA. 5024.91, Aug 7 at 0134, R. Rebelde
is noticeably off-frequency, and wobbling (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** CUBA. 9535, Aug 8 at 0141, S6 open carrier dead air from RHC
Spanish, while 9710 is OK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
CUBA. 15230, Aug 7 at 1340, no signal at all from this RHC morning frequency,
while 15370 is VG during `En Contacto` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 9315, Aug 8 at 0142, R. Cairo motorboating roar with
unreadable modulation at S6; similar much weaker pulsing at S1 heard in the
9341-9347 range peaking about 9344, so sporadic and wandering spur from that?

Correlates with CONGO, q.v.
** IRELAND NORTHERN [non]. 9955, UT Monday
Aug 8 at 0137, WRMI with Radio Northern Ireland; talk has beeps underneath it in
groups of 3, pitch changing from one group to the next. It`s reminiscent of the
jammers on 11930 playing around as logged before, but RNI could also being doing
it just for fun. The beeps pause as a Phil Collins song is starting, but then
resume during the music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN
[non]. 12015, UT Sunday August 7 at 0427, NHK Spanish via WHRI in last minute of
`Espacio DX-ista`, acknowledging reception reports, and I think never any DX
news. Then R. Japón schedule for this 0400 and the only other Spanish broadcast,
at 0930 (what if you are in a timezone, like UT-3, UT-4 or UT-5 in South America
when you`re likely to be asleep during both?); off at 0430* with no WHR
advertising, unlike they append to Vietnam relays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6185, Aug 7 at 0442, dead air from XEPPM at
S9+20, 0443 eerie choral music. Probably just a pause or low passage in
classical music, but overall Radio Educación is undermodulated, a shame but
we`re glad it still exist as Mexico`s final SW station (Glenn hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** UGANDA [non]. 15239.971, Aug 7 at 1807, WWRB in
presumed Luganda at S9+10 with Radio Munansi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
