** CHINA. Firedrake August 12: at 1235 heard again on 8400, nothing on 9000. At 1250, JBA on 13970; at 1252 poor on 14430, fair at 1348. At 1435 FD weak and alone on 11990, but dominant and much stronger on // 12040 mixing with CNR1 and VOA Chinese, not // 14430.
At 1440, 9845 // 12040 music with choral, so not FD? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. R. Martí, Aug 12 at 1414 on 11930 with jazzed-up Warsaw Concerto music mixing with talk, over jamming at the moment while // Greenville 11845 was under jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ECUADOR [non]. DX Partyline via WRMI, 9955, Wed Aug 12 at 1441 concluding talk by Christer Brunström on his visit to RRI Romania, then logs more than a month old from Stewart MacKenzie, dated July 10 and 9. We suspect that DXPLs being aired are not the latest ones. Perhaps the Saturday of original airing is specified at the outset, but not so for Aventura Diexista which followed at 1445. If anyone is keeping track, this one had Alen Grájam in Esmeraldas on a project for his home church, and apologizing for transmission problem the previous week at 1445 on HCJB itself; then R. Guía Internacional feature from Jorge García, CDXA, about Colombia on MW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 15710 at 1254 August 12, very distorted YL talking unID language as always the case on this frequency among others from R. Cairo, scheduled Indonesian at 1230-1400 from Abis site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WINB, 9265, still running the convicted ``Tony Alámo``, August 12 at 1239, discussing Dr. Phil with YL, accusing him of being a serial polygamist, advice to help him avoid hell, not to hurt him. I`m sure Phil appreciates that! Of course, simultaneous polygamy with girls is Tony`s God-given right. At 1304 recheck, 9265 was off the air but no sign of daytime frequency 13570, nor at 1432. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. VOA Greenville, 17585, Aug 12 at 1417-1422 with regular Wednesday feature Wordmaster, this time evaluating words used in blogs on a happiness scale, which I found rather too esoteric. Good and steady signal today, and kept listening to see what would happen at 1430. Same as yesterday, cut off Today in History before it was finished, for sign-off and Yankee Doodle, modulation ending at approximately 1431, and carrier finally off at 1431:20. It must have still overlapped Botswana for a sesquiminute, but that was totally inaudible here today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11735, which had open carrier and tone test Aug 11, rechecked 24 hours later Aug 12 around 0530: nothing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
