** ANTARCTICA. 15476, able to detect a carrier again here (not 15475), Monday June 7 at 1316, amid a TVI blob from some neighbor`s set which messes up 14-16 MHz especially. Besides that problem, it seems the sweet spot for almost-daily reception I had in April/May has moved westward to TV-less Asilomar Beach where Ron Howard often has LRA36 around 1500 just before sign-off M-F which runs a bit later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. Not much sporadic E Sunday, until 0125 UT Monday June 7 when I found weak analog on channel 2, peaking NNE, turned out to be a silly puck game. This fits CBC as on CKPR, Thunder Bay, an oft-received station. Soon outfaded (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Another poor day for Firedrake, June 7:
8-16 MHz, none found at 1305-1310
16-19 MHz, none found at 1310-1314 tho CNR1 jammer audible on 11805, not on 15285, etc.
8400, `ramshorn` passage just barely audible with BFO at 1324
15140, very poor at 1414; scanned 10-15 MHz again now: nothing else
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** DOMINICAN REPUBLIC [and non]. 6025+, June 7 at 0625 as I was stepping 1 MHz between 4025 and 5025 on the FRG-7, also found unexpected fair signal on 6025, in Spanish; low-key W & M conversation about medical issues. This one is slightly on the hi side compared to 5025, but also a rippling SAH from a weaker signal slightly offset from it; with BFO on, it`s even more obvious there are two senders.
0629 broke for canned PSAs/promos about the symptoms of autism, espíritu santo, and gave several phone numbers starting with 707 or 787; also a US toll free 866-. 0631 resumed medical discussion; kept listening hoping for some clue as to origin, but none heard so gave up at 0651. It helped to be within the weekly Monday truce in the Cuban/American radio war on adjacent 6030 tho there were still traces of jamming there.
I presume it was R. Amanecer Internacional, as the Seventh Day Adventists are obsessed with health, and this station has been known to run overnight on occasion, not usually. Then I check the program schedule at http://www.ra.do/plunes.html and find for 2-3 am Monday: Clínica Abierta. That makes the log definite.
BTW, the imaginary new US station KTMI in Oregon is registered for 6025 at this very time, 0600-0800, 50 kW, 70 degrees.
What could the CCI really be? Aoki shows also on the 6025 air at this hour, Enugu, Nigeria, maybe possible if active, a bit late for it, and really too early for Vietnam or Malaysia. Maybe Bolivia sometimes runs all-night too? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBERIA. 4025-, carrier slightly on the lo side detectable June 7 at 0615, VP and bits of audio too presumably from Star Radio, but not enough signal and modulation vs the storm noise level, this time from northern Kansas which hit us 5 hours later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. 15380, collision between BSKSA with Qur`an, and RHC Spanish, June 7 at 1311, as they take turns dominating, still at 1330. BSKSA HQS is 500 kW, 310 degrees USward at 12-14 despite Cuba at 11-24. Of course, Riyadh was there first (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Altho it still appears on the June 1 WWCR online program schedule, the 0330 UT Monday airing of WORLD OF RADIO on 5890 was missing again June 7, some preacher other than PPP this time and not // WTWW 5755. So I have removed it from my schedules, without having received any explicit info about its replacement, and contradictory info from the pdf.
As for the missing Saturday 1330 WOR airing on WRMI 9955, it was heard at the same time on Sunday instead by Harry Brooks in England on the webcast, and again at usual 1515 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Altho still dated effective March 14, after DST had begun, and still failing to display a 4-hour difference between ET and UT, the WINB program schedule now shows some different times for disgraced sexual predating evangelist ``Tony Alamo``, tried, convicted, sentenced and serving 175 years: M-F 11 am, 2 and 3 pm (yes, one hour and another hour back-to-back), i.e. 15-16, 18-20 UT, as I was not hearing him earlier on 9265, June 7 at 1317 but instead an apocalyptic acolyte of Brother Scare, soon back to the voice of the Last Days Prophet of God himself (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WWCR 13845 and 15825 were both inbooming at 1312 June 7, so HF sporadic E is in progress. How high can it go? CB also hopping with one of many stations on 27 MHz band at 1335 claiming to be in Virginia. That doesn`t mean 10m hamband will be hopping as well, tho surely there is no sharp MUF cutoff at 28000. Not a single SSB signal to be heard there, just letting their beacons run, one a K2 and another a WA4, both weak and fading in and out at 1340. Before 1500 I onturned the TV but nothing yet reaching channel 2 in the following sesquihour tho DX Sherlock showed sparse activity on 6m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ##
