** CUBA.
15120, Oct 5 at 0051, pop music from CRI Spanish relay as scheduled here, //
5990 --- unlike 48 hours earlier when 13650 was carrying this, having failed to
switch to 15120 circa 0000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
MEXICO. 700, Oct 5 at 0559, romantic music in Spanish from SW, hardly any WLW to
compete from opposite direxion. 0600 into brief choral NA, 0601 full ID for 25
kW on 90.3, 5 kW on 700, street address, phone numbers from ``XEGD, La Poderosa

OKLAHOMA. As prediced by William Hepburn, tropo over OK this morning, following
heavy storms last night:
RF 45, as 45-1, KOHC-CD in Spanish. This is 15
kW in OKC without any net info per W9WI.com, but it is Univisión with
multi-colored U bug in lower right, // but way out of synch with cable U during
``Despierta, América`` which doesn`t mean ``desperate``, but ``wake up``.
Normally invisible, and now on the verge, breaking up. More often on RF 45 I get
full power KSNW off the back from Wichita.
RF 26, as 10-1, KTENNBC,
along with 10-2 KTEN-CW, and 10-3 KTENABC, i.e. Ada OK, which in the analog days
of one channel had to pick and choose between ABC and NBC, as the ``market``
lacked three major network affiliates. KXII-12 Ardmore etc., as I recall was
mainly CBS but also some NBC. 1000 kW KTEN is not that far, but rarely enough
signal to become visible here. Today also various bad signals on Tulsa channels.
OKC channels 24 and 29 are getting to be bad, no doubt disrupted by
DX.
Looking thru the few remaining listings of channels 52+ at W9WI.com,
I see one analog which if it really still exist, could make it here, so I turn
the analog TV split off same antenna, to channel 54, but see nothing now from:
``KUFS-LP, 23.1 kW, Fort Smith AR, My network //KXNW`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. 7305, Oct 5 at 0045, VOA One rock music is
already on an hour before this frequency cuts away for previously scheduled
Vatican relay in Spanish, as heard yesterday, violating Separation of Church
& State.
7405, Oct 5 at 0543, VOA One music is now here, S9+20. How
long are these broadcasts, still unlisted in HFCC, and why?
To the DXLD
yg, Richard Langley in NB reports: ``Yesterday, Mauno Ritola posted the
following news via the WRTH Facebook page:
VOA emergency shortwave
coverage for Haiti in Creole & English has started as follows via Greenville
[North Carolina]:
2200-0200 7305 kHz
0200-1200 7405 kHz
1200-1630 9565
kHz
Monitoring yesterday evening and overnight indicates that this schedule
is not quite correct or complete. I'll post a follow-up message when I complete
the review of my recordings. There was some Creole around 2200 on 7305 kHz
followed by dead air for some minutes and then beginning a relay of VOA1. When
spot checked just before 0200 UTC, Radio Vaticana in Spanish was on the
frequency. Switching then to 7405 kHz, there was nothing. Recorder was left
going monitoring this frequency overnight. Spot check around 1100 on 7405 kHz
had VOA1 on the frequency. P.S. Listening to the 2300 segment, the Creole
announcers think they are on all three frequencies at the same time! And, again,
VOA1 followed the roughly 15-minute Creole segment – Richard``
John
Figliozzi, NY, adds: ``Somebody was asleep at the switch. 7305 stayed on the air
until 0412 when it suddenly went off and 7405 came on``
Hours and hours
of VOA One rock music are hardly helpful to Haiti. Yes, more music at 1442 check
Oct 5 on 9565. Picking two R Martí frequencies for this is not wise --- Cuban
jamming can and does extend far beyond the known RM hours (Glenn Hauser, DX

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1845 monitoring: confirmed
Tuesday Oct 4 at 2330 on WBCQ 9330.089-CUSB, good. Also confirmed Wed Oct 5 at
1315.5 on WRMI 9955, S9, no jamming heard. Next:
Wed 2100 WBCQ 7490v to
WSW

** U S A. 7730, Oct 5 at 0034 check, WRMI with World Music as
scheduled; but at 0042 during T-storm here seems to be off; 0048 I have a big
blob around 7736 instead. Was there such an anomaly at Okeechobee, or was the
NRD-545 with indoor antenna only, semi-fried by the local lightning? Fortunately
soon recovered. Watch out for Okeechobee outages as the hurricane brushes/hits
Florida.
11580, Oct 5 at 1317, WRMI confirmed still with World Music
now, playing ``Sandunga`` vs CCI from KTWR in Vietnamese, scheduled on same
until 1330 (except Saturdays -1345). Clear after 1330, checked at 1342, English
relay of R. Ukraine International, new time, daily except Sundays. At 1404,
another hour of World Music is underway (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
