Glenn Hauser logs August 15-16, 2018

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, Aug 16 at 2221, RAE Italian relay via WRMI 22-23 now here with good signal about tangos; had been on 7780 only, too weak to tell now, but transmission skedgrid shows on both (German at 21-22 however on 7780 only). But the System G sked shows RAE Italian at 16-17 EDT on 9395 which would be 20-21 UT! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 1610 kHz, Aug 16 at 0642 UT, CHHA Toronto, ad in Brazilian accent, then one in Lusitanian Portuguese. More significantly, no trace of ANGUILLA, nor have I heard any since it was reported reactivated here Aug 4 at 0300 by John Williams, UK, MW Circle. May have been a one-shot or very limited sked like Caribbean Beacon SW. Has anyone else heard it on 1610 again? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15230, Aug 16 at 1412, dead air from RHC; it`s the second SSOB after 15825 WWCR inbooming by Es, and very little else on band. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 11860, Aug 16 at 2000, RHC in Portuguese still mixing with Radio Martí but RHC is atop at the moment; do I also hear some lite jamming? Something`s always wrong at RHC. 2219 recheck, only a JBA carrier, Yemen non? Evidently this Cuban radio war is over by 2200 instead of 2300.. 11930 is still on, RM over jamming with weather forecast for Cuba, tropical storm. Does the RM meteorologist get his info from external obs only? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1943 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday August 15 from 2100.5 on WRMI 9955, poor S1-S6; NOT confirmed at 2100.0 August 15 on WBCQ 7490v: no signal at all, must be off the air (and 9330v is also absent tho always audible; power failure? WINB 9265 is propagating OK). 

Wed Aug 15 at 2330, 9330v is back on but WOR is not aired. Since WBCQ has missed WOR 1943 on its first three chances, I remind them that it would be nice to play it Thursday August 16 at 2330 --- but no, BS continues. 

Meanwhile, Tom Roberts, PhD says his program `Biblical Perspectives` was followed by mine today Thursday August 16 at 2330 on 7490 --- what? Not according to websked which they have a hard time keeping up to date. I didn`t check 7490 where I had no expectation of hearing us; no one at stations tells me anything. We hope this continue.

** U S A. 9455, UT Thu Aug 16 at 0058 check, this WRMI is again on for its weekly spell, with Brother Scare recognizable prior to presumed Hal Turner bihour. Yet the System L yellowsked still claims 9455 is ``currently off air`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also ARGENTINA [non]

** U S A. 5072.1 & 5097.9, Aug 16 at 0635, JBA parasitic spur carriers are on, so that must mean WTWW-2 big fundamental 5085 is too: yes, rock music, running way late (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
