** BANGLADESH [and non]. 15105, August 17 at 1345-1349* a weak carrier here, maybe following BB`s Nepali service as allegedly scheduled 1315-1345. I keep tuned to rehear their IS at 1358 before Urdu as on previous days. But from *1358 instead on 15105 it`s B-B-C- chimes from Ascension, about to start Hausa.
Not until 1401 do I try Bangladesh Betar`s other frequency, 15505, and there they are on this one today instead of 15105, a good move, with S Asian music, flutter, 1402 YL announcement in presumed Urdu, 1406 music, alternating with talk bits, 1412 vocal music, etc. And none of that self-imposed noise any more. 1442 recheck, the fluttery carrier is still on 15505. Maybe modulation will revive for expected 1515-1545 Hindi, 1600-1630 Arabic, and 1630-1730 Bangla? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHILE. 17680, August 17 at 1334, CVC La Voz from Miami studio: Calera de Tango site`s last day ever on the air, with usual gospel rock in Spanish, 1334 announced as the #23 tune on some kind of hit parade. To be cut off and dismantled after 2200 UT today; also on 9635. I wonder if anything special will be said before 2200, even in former languages such as English?

** TAIWAN [non]. 7570, Aug 17 at 0458, RTI confirmed in correct language, Spanish, via WYFR, wrapping up the 0400 hour with their full Spanish schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1630 monitoring: confirmed on WWRB, 5050, also webcast funxioning, UT Friday August 17 at 0330 after a respectful pause of 77 seconds following the SC preacher, amen & amen. As soon as he stopped, the background noise level rose on the webcast, and after 49 seconds, a louder hum came on, which continued once WOR started, the same on 5050. There`s something about the way WWRB is playing this back which causes it, as there is certainly no such hum on the original WOR file. This has been happening for several weeks. But I`m still readable if you ignore or filter the hum.

UNIDENTIFIED. 11751.5, Aug 17 at 1320, JBA carrier, but none of the others, 1.0-kHz off-channels as usually heard during this hour. Propagation much degraded, with the on-channel stations they usually het barely audible, e.g. Anguilla 11775 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11995, Aug 17 at 0453, the mystery open carrier at S9+12 with some hum is already on this early, previously logged several times after 0500. There was nothing to identify it around hourtop. More and more I am suspecting TDF Issoudun, which had RFI English at 04-05 before it was deleted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
