Glenn Hauser logs August 5-6, 2018

** BRAZIL. 11780, UT Monday August 6 at 0151, RNB/RNA is off, unlike most evenings at this time: maybe a Sunday thing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5025, August 6 at 0135, R. Rebelde is OFF, but detect a JBA carrier a bit high like 5025.01: R. Quillabamba, Perú, or exciter only from Cuba? Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. 

4765, August 6 at 0138, R. Progreso music is S9+20 but modulation breaking up. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. At least the third 60m Cuban, RHC on 5040 is OK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6100, August 6 at 0555, this RHC English air is dead tonight, while 6165, 6060 and 5040 are very good; 6000 merely good modulation. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DXL ISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 9490, August 6 at 0148, heavy jamming against R. República via FRANCE audible underneath. The jam has a higher pitch than usually heard from the DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE. 9790, August 6 at 0552, RFI in French, S4-S5 with big humbuzz from defective TDF Issoudun transmitter; tonight another frequency from there, 7220 with Dandal Kura is S9 and clear. Some other night, it could be the bad one (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6870-AM, August 6 at 0128, VP S9 pirate with jazz, still at 0153. These say it was Mix Radio at *2352-0159*:

** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 15410, fair August 6 at 1551, Eye Radio via FRANCE, YL in African accented English about mp3s, ID at 1554; fair via UTwente SDR; is M-F only at 15-16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U A E [and non]. 9840.1 approx., August 6 at 0146 JBA talk, unknown language. Wonder if it`s always off-frequency Vietnam? NO, that`s on ``9840`` only at 10-24 UT per NDXC/Aoki. At this hour 0100-0300, it is VOA Deewa Radio in Pashto via Dhabbiya, an habitually off-frequency site. 

Indeed, presumed VOV JBA carrier measured on 9839.787, as usual on the minus side, August 6 at 1313. Aoki has room for three decimal places, but hit-and-miss, mostly missed except for Sounds of Hopes; and another VOV as 9635.789 at 2145-1600. Hmmm, notice the almost-match in offness, one plus, one minus. I claim no greater accuracy than plus/minus 2 Hz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 2097.3-CW, August 5 at 0613, despite heavy storm noise level of S9+10/20, I decide to check whether the A beacon from Quartzsite AZ can be heard --- and it can! Enough to copy .- once every dekasecond. 1519 km = 944 miles, almost to CA border. BTW is missing from this:

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1941 monitoring: confirmed UT Monday August 6 from 0130.5 on WRMI 7780, S9/S7 and 5850, S9+45/25. Also confirmed on Area 51 webcast UT Mon Aug 6 starting late at 0309, after ``The B-Movie Bob Show at 6:30-7 pm Eastern``, presumably from an ancient archive, overfilling during an off-week for JL. Also confirmed via WBCQ 5130- at 0329 check, poor in noise level. Also confirmed from 0330 August 6 on WRMI 9955, good S9/S9+10; and also immediate playback at 0400 on WRMI webcast only. Next:
Mon 2330   WBCQ 9330v to WSW [maybe]
Tue 0030   WRMI 7730 to WNW
Tue 2030   WRMI 7780 to NE, 5950 to WNW [or #1942?]
Tue 2130   WRMI 5950 to WNW [or #1942?]

** U S A. 7780, August 5 at 1306, this WRMI is on morning as scheduled now on Sundays only, gospel huxter; still a JBA carrier at 1412. 9395, at 1306 check Sunday August 5 with Brother Scare, no longer a secret `Wavescan` time.

9955, August 6 at 0145, WRMI amid `Wavescan` about Shepparton, and with Cuban pulse jamming: tnx a lot, Arnie! 0130 Monday is one of dozens of WS times on WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, UT Sunday August 5 at 0614, despite omission from WTWW homepage and schedule, `Southern Talk in the Midnight` is still going, S9+20 but unsolid signal and combating storm noise level. If 15809.9 be // this time, is totally unpropagating. Presumably still starting at 0500 after rock music show.

15809.9 is however audible at 1413 August 5 with SFAW much weaker than // 9475. By 1920 recheck when should propagate better, is off; while 9475 is problematic, modulation cutting on & off & skipping (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5050, UT Monday August 6 at 0156, WWRB is S9+30 with screaming gospel huxtress; is only on UT Sun & Mon, or also UT Tue? Should always check for second harmonic 10100 as once logged, but not heard since July 15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6900-LSB, August 6 at 0143, peskie talx in Spanish, mixing with music in background or CCI from another one (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
