Glenn Hauser logs August 18-19, 2018

** CUBA. 5040, Aug 19 at 0411, this RHC frequency is OFF; while 5025 Rebelde remains. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 11860, August 18 at 1912, R. Martí is still gone, but not the wall-of-noise jamming. At 1932, RHC French has started, and still jamming! So RM got Cuba to jam itself (and only itself) on this frequency; way to go! 11860, August 19 at 1409 & 1826 chex, still jamming and no replacement found for Martí. Possibly, but unlikely, OCB plan to add it on weekdays only? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. Re my previous report, I mixed up the dates of Alan Roe`s obs: ``Just to clarify: I noted AIR on 7550 kHz in AM mode on Aug 16 around 1855 UT, and in DRM mode again Aug 17 at 1945 UT. Also in DRM right now (Aug 18 at 2155 UT) Regards & 73, Alan Roe, Teddington, UK`` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 10057-USB, Aug 19 at 0349, contact by San Francisco with unID flight, both weak. These ATC frequencies are very sporadic, and contacts as brief as possible, pertinent business only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1943 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday August 19 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, concluding at 0347 so started circa 0318; S9+30 vs storm crashes. Next:

** U S A. 9395, Saturday August 18 at 2253, `Voice of the Report of the Week`, John announcement after music, is still on this secret WRMI transmission, from 2200; probably also // 7780, too weak to tell in noise level; and ex-11580 remains off.

9395, Sat Aug 18 at 2316, Bob Biermann`s `Your Weekend Show` during this hour, as he is talking about St. Kitts & Nevis --- he visited there over two years ago to see about getting R. Paradise, 820, St. Kitts back on the air, as it had been off for 3 years then and still is, but instead discovered another Christian station on adjacent Nevis, Praise FM 99.3, which now he wants to help develop (Paradise is/was owned by his former cohort on WRMI, Rick Wiles, the fake-news ``TruNews`` gospel huxter, who supposedly had big plans for broadcasting from St. Kitts) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15809.938, Sat Aug 18 at 1934, WTWW-3 is on with S9+30 of classic rock, while 9475, 9930 and 5830 are all off. But WTWW-2, 5085 is running at midday // 15809.938 with ham talk, S7-S5 vs noise level; 1944 Ted mentions being on both frequencies (rounded off), and it`s live(?) from the Huntsville AL hamfest which I gather is one of the major ones. At 2246 recheck, JBA carrier on 15810-, so apparently still on but propagation has dropped out, but 5085 is off, and so still is WTWW-1, neither 9475 nor 5085; what are we going to do without our daily dose of white identity racism?? #3 appears quite stably off-frequency; on July 7 I measured it on .937, within margin of error.

5085, Sat Aug 18 at 2328, WTWW-2 still hasn`t come back on air. `Theater Organ in the Ozarx` had been rescheduled a sesquihour earlier than 0100v+ UT Sundays: learnt about it too late a biweek ago, and forgot to check a week ago, so I`m all set now, but --- no show! Despite still being on websked. By 2344 at least 5085 has come on the air, no 15809+ audible, but with classic rock music, presumed one of the farmed-out DJ shows, ditto at 0018 & 0116 chex August 19.

15809.930, Aug 19 at 1822 & 1923, JBA carrier about as weak as degraded 15825 WWCR, must be WTWW-3, while no other WTWW transmitters are on. Can`t tell programming but probably SFAW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5050, Sat Aug 18 at 2324, WWRB is already on with gospel huxter, and modulation is OK! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
