** CUBA. 13820, August 1 at 1338, considerable pulse jamming against nothing,
the B-season-only Radio Martí frequency, which is also getting heavy jamming on
13605 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 6250,
still no signals from R. Malabo, July 31 at 2310, 2336 chex, nor August 1 at
0330, 0530. It was on the morning of July 29 but off by that evening. So now,
what; silent for another sextayear? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1889, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PUERTO RICO. 5125, July 31 at 2300, 2336 chex, and
UT August 1 at 0330, 0530, nor August 2 at 0308, no huge carrier or tones on
this or nearby frequencies, so the Arecibo ionospheric heating experiment has
ended, and WBCQ 5130 and listeners may sigh in relief; until next time? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1889, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S
A. 7490.07v-AM, Monday July 31 at 2313, Ramsey has apparently played a couple
tunes from 2300 on `Furthermore, 29-54`, but now is talking, from the bank of
the Tippecanoe River in Monticello, Indiana, plugging other programs on WBCQ,
Fred Flintstone and J P Ferraro; 2317 on Kinky Friedman and his song about to be
played at 2321, ``Glad to be an asshole from El Paso``, from a live pre-elexion
performance and musing about Bernie becoming the first Jew in the White House.
At 2323 Ramsey even plugs Glenn Hauser Wednesdays at 5 pm on 7490, and will he
talk about the Puerto Rico QRM? Yes, thank you very much. Then something about
John McCain (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9395,
August 1 at 0615, WRMI with unID gospel huxter, not Bob and not // BS as on 7570
etc., while 9395 is spinning Oldies with usual canned ID by Bob at 0619, then
playing ``Whiter Shade of Pale``. Contrary to WRMI skedgrid which still shows
both 9395 & 9455 with Oldies in the 05-10 UT block. 9395 started off as the
primary Oldies frequency, but now 9455 becomes primary or only, as 9395 is going
off to other stuff, also for `Power Hour` in the 13-15 period at least, with
Oldies on 9455 only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A.
17775, August 1 at 1406, not even a JBA carrier from KVOH, so not on yet, or not
propagating? Not rechecked later on my busy produxion day for WORLD OF RADIO
(which KVOH found too hot to handle) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** ZAMBIA [and non]. 11680, August 1 at 0530, slightly
off-frequency JBA carrier, suspect North Korea, but by 0613, weak signal with
(Jesus, not Juche) praise music, so Voice of Hope, Lusaka, which has just
resumed morning broadcasts M-F 0500-0800 on 11680 USward, and // 9680
non-direxional, hardly even a JBA carrier here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO
1889, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
