Glenn Hauser logs September 24-25, 2017

** ANGUILLA [and non]. 11775, Sept 24 at 2014, PMS is back, first time heard since Hurricane Irma. S7 with good modulation. But night frequency 6090 still missing Sept 25 at 0222 check; 0255, now on with open carrier. 11775 gone again at 1407 Sept 25, audiblizing VP carrier no doubt AIR GOA scheduled 1200-1430 in Tibetan, Nepali (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 17855, Sept 24 at 2100, REE is gone again, inaudible not only here but no 17715, 15520; however, a very poor distorted signal on 15390, only one on air? Hardly any sigs on 19m now, except big OC on 15730 before Greenville turns off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Sept 24 at 2014, WRMI with song not // BS frequencies, presumably still R. Prague English relay during their Sunday music show. As of Sept 25, the WRMI 9955 skedgrid at 
http://www.tinyurl.com/WRMI9955 
still claims it`s nothing but Overcomer Ministry 7-daily at +2000-2100, but for the past several days we`ve been hearing a strip of other programming. At 2055 it`s Roberto Scaglione in Italian, so Sunday at 2030 would be `Studio DX`. At 2030 there could be more DX program repeats, only to be revealed by monitoring each day.

11580, Sunday September 24 at 2015, Jeff White is intentionally recording and reporting from Qatar about media, where Al Jazeera is a local TV station, // stronger 9455; this is a `Viva Miami` slot, no doubt with many more chances to hear it. At 2055, beeps from Kim`s `Shortwave Radiogram` as scheduled from 2030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 14336-USB, Sept 24 at 2106, nothing on HWN 14325 frequency but I find a ham here, repeatedly IDing as ``Frontier Red Willow``, asking for relays, but don`t catch real callsign; some strange net? Search correlates those names to:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Willow_Dam
``Red Willow Dam (National ID # NE01076) is a dam in Frontier County, Nebraska, about ten miles northwest of McCook``. I suppose this is a county-working contest (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1896 monitoring: confirmed Sunday September 24 at 2330 on WBCQ, 9329.8v-USB, fair. Also confirmed UT Monday Sept 25 after 0300 on Area 51 webcast (and 5130.3v-AM WBCQ was also confirmed on a few minutes earlier); also confirmed UT Mon Sept 25 after 0330 on WRMI webcast (and also 9955 in well checked half a sesquihour earlier). Next:
Mon 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Tue 0030   WRMI 7730 to WNW

UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 15430, Sept 25 at 1359, DW is cutting on and off, during a site/beam change? No, it`s supposed to be merely a language change from Dari to Pashto, 250 kW, 335 degrees from Trincomalee, SRI LANKA. One of the best signals on band, but far less than Cublaster 15370. Anyhow, during DW breaks until it stay on at 1401 with Merkel victory news rating S9+10/20, I am also hearing INTRUDERS, 2-way in Spanish on 15430-USB, who seem unconcerned about the TRM QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
