** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 12 at 1435: not audible on any of: 8400, 9000, 10210, 11300. Yet CRI English from Chinese sites was doing well on 9460, 9700, 9790 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC Dec 12 at 0613: 6140 in English this time, but very low modulation; at first just open carrier.
Saturday Dec 12 at 1431, nothing but heavy noise/pulse jamming audible on 9955, when WORLD OF RADIO is allegedly scheduled on WRMI. Please direct complaints to coro@enet.cu Ask him why they jam non-exile programs in English instead of spending that expense on easing food shortages, etc. among the long-suffering dentroCuban people.
RHC Spanish on multiple 22mb frequencies, not all of them intentional, Dec 12 at 1442: 13680, 13710, 13720, 13770, 13780, 13880; plus the CRI English relay on 13740. The odd one is weak 13720 which is not a fundamental and does not compute as a leapfrog (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. 15330, R. Martí, Sat Dec 12 at 1457 after musical documentary show, 5 minutes of upbeat pascual greetings from FueraCubans to DentroCuban familiars. Not clear if these were individual Miami gusanos, or just workers at OCB; 1502 on to Resumen Semanal. Heavy jamming but big enough RM signal to copy easily. Can`t be too careful: some instruxions on blowing up bridges might be included, Arnie fears (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 9660-9685, OTH radar pulses at 1433 Dec 12, presumed from here. Bothered RRI 9680 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9420, VOG is audible just about any time of day or night I check, quality varying widely. At 1435 Dec 12, Greek talk with long-path echo, not usually the case (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 9690, AIR GOS to SE Asia well-heard in NW Oklahoma, Dec 12 at 1355 with music, 1400 change to another music show called Producer`s Choice, but at 1415 YL with non-English announcement. Reception was good enough to be sure it was really non-English, not English with a pronounced accent. Then 1417-1422 dead air (except for the hum, now clearly heard without interfering modulation). 1422 resumed with talk in English. I think she apologized for the outage, but not sure. I guess the wrong program feed got on, and all they could do was cut to silence. On to a lexure by OM. In the meantime I had checked // 13710, and there seemed to be some modulation there under the RHC leapfrog spur (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LAOS [non]. 11785, Hmong World Christian Radio via WHRI, Dec 12 until 1510 with up-down-up-down tonal singing by YL, then OM in straight talk. This is 1500-1530 Saturdays only, following Hmong Lao Radio at 1400-1500 Sat & Sun, which carries some of exactly the same hmusic. As usual huge signal, overloading with receiver-produced spurs elsewhere on 25m unless attenuated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. What`s heard on WWCR-3, 7465, Saturday mornings, does not match what`s on the pdf schedule altho updated as of Dec 1, at http://www.wwcr.com/program-guides/WWCR_Program_Guide.pdf
which shows in CST = UT-6:
7:00A Rock The Universe Rich Adcock
8:00A Country Crossroads Bill Mack
Instead, Dec 12 at 1340 UT there was a Christian/financial show, and at 1425, Musical Memories was being wrapped up by Martha with her address in Illinois, and finally ``Silent Night``, her self-accompaniment on piano not exactly in synch with her singing. This is not the first time she has appeared here instead of Country Crossroads, but too bad that Rock the Universe is off, once or always?
At 1425 I was also noticing rapid fading, seems like a SAH of about 6 Hz, but could not hear any other audio. Normally the WWCR signal is rock-solid, but not so strong today. The only other thing scheduled on 7490 is WRN via Tajikistan until Dec 15, 100 kW at 70 degrees, 1300-1500. Per DXLD 9-081, that`s Radio Free North Korea (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WJHR, 15550-USB: no sign of it Sat Dec 12 at 1444 or 1516, altho there was quite a bit of splash from RDPI 15560 which is on the air weekends only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
