** ALASKA. 9920, Oct 2 at 1301, KNLS IS, 1302 opening in Chinese with website, 1303 gospel rock/praise music with English lyrix; sufficient (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 2:
16980, fair with flutter at 1249
16100, fair with flutter at 1249
14700, very poor at 1252
13920, JBA under fax? At 1253
13850, very poor at 1253
13130, poor at 1254
12500, good at 1255
11500, very poor at 1255, mixing with VOR/hum; not 11510 again
10300, good with flutter at 1255
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 15360, this Sunday at 1411 Oct 2, RHC has ceded the frequency to TWR Swaziland in Urdu; RHC also missing from 15120 (as always after 1400), 13880, 13680 (also a Sunday anomaly, despite nothing from Venezuela coming up.) Still on 15230, 13780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 15630, Oct 1 at 1934, Greek talk and music, fair, with squishy-spur 15628 QRM from 15610 WEWN. VOG has been reported missing by several listeners the past few days, but it was certainly on at this time. Maybe disrupted irregularly by strikes or financial situation. Oct 2 at 1552, very poor fluttery signal on 15630, presumably VOG as nothing else scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 21560, Oct 2 at 1415, something weak in English, i.e. NHK, 152 degrees via Issoudun, FRANCE (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, Oct 1 at 1934, hunting for R. Kuwait 18-21 English broadcast, could only detect a JBA carrier; while Greece was sufficient on 15630. Is it just propagation? At 2007 and 2030 chex, could not hear anything on 15540, 17550 or 11990 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Sunrise MW DX Oct 2, UT:
610, Oct 2 at 1218 UT, ``Grupo Chávez, Radio K``, and ``una experiencia en el cielo``, Sunday-morning religious show. Seemed // 650, but not definite with two receivers. If so, that would be XEGS Guaymas, Sinaloa once again. Googling confirms there is a group by that name in Sinaloa, including La GS on 610, and La Ley on 650, but the `Radio K` would have been ``Radiocast``:

770, Oct 2 at 1214 UT, singing ID ending in ``Digital``. I thought maybe it was one of those ``Éxtasis Digital`` outlets, but none listed on 770 in Cantú.
1030, Oct 2 at 1228 UT, ad for a giveaway, 1229 ``Grupo Jota`` and romantic music. I can`t find any Mexican radio group by that name on 1030 or anywhere else; maybe was name of musical group (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SWAZILAND. 15360, Oct 2 at 1411, S Asian song, from TWR in Urdu, and this time in the clear with usual collider RHC missing. TWR IS and off at 1416* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
