Glenn Hauser logs March 2, 2014 [more]

** CHINA. 13970, March 2 at 1428, CNR1 jammer, 1430 2-pip timesignal, good.

13530, March 2 at 1431, CNR1 jammer, fair signal vs CODAR; none in the 12s

15970, March 2 at 1432, CNR1 jammer, good signal; none in the 14s

15870, March 2 at 1432, CNR1 jammer // 15970. 15870 not often heard but is in Aoki as another 0.1 kW Sound of Hope nuisance jambait

16920, March 2 at 1434, CNR1 jammer, poor-fair, and running ahead of 15870

17755, March 2 at 1436, CNR1 jammer, fair, about 2 seconds ahead of 15870; none in the 18s. I was expecting to find it right here on 17755, after researching the 7-different-frequency VOA Tibetan schedule for 14-15, as heard yesterday Saturday on 17880.

15800, March 2 at 1524, CNR1 jammer; seems to be some CCI, but just another SOH 100-watt frequency as in Aoki.

12910, March 2 at 1526, CNR1 jammer, // 15800; check as in Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 9330, March 2 at 0702, 5-digit YL Spanish spy numbers, then hybrid digital blaaps, atop WBCQ, and close to same frequency, no audible het. This clash is result of longtime scheduling, neither station concerned enough to resolve it.

6100, March 2 at 0711, surprised to find weekly Sunday Esperanto broadcast from RHC on additional frequency to usual 6000 first crossed at 0706, so doubly not missing this week.

5025, March 2 at 0708, R. Rebelde is on with VG signal. You never know whether it will be on or off after 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1640, March 2 at 1348 UT check, KZLS Enid-Hennessey-OKC is still playing True Oldies music part of the time, especially on weekends, despite alleged plan to flip totally to talk by end of February (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS [and non]. 9545, March 2 at 0658-0701+ undermodulated talk on poor signal, can`t be sure is plain English rather than Tok Pisin, and no ID heard, but surely SIBC. Australia fair on 9475, 9660, the latter nominally same-powered as SIBC with 10 kW, but probably much better antenna from Brandon (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 13570, March 2 at 1649, VOA Specialish English based on an old American saying, fair signal finally in the clear with WINB abandoning this frequency for 9265 even in the daytime when it`s mostly absorbed. Whose bright idea was it to schedule two US SW stations on the same frequency in the first place? VOA is São Tomé at 16-17 only, and per Aoki, *jammed by the ChiCom (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9265, Sunday March 2 at 1520, WINB is still on here, poor in noise, fading, stronger than 9330 WBCQ but much weaker than 9370 WWRB. By 1644, 9265 is inaudible buried in local/ionospheric noise level. WINB has abandoned its former daytime frequency 13570; see USA [non] VOA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 660, March 2 at 0718 UT, Navajo drumming & chanting: oh oh, KTNN must be 50 kW non-direxional day pattern, as normally I cannot hear it at all at night, just after local sunrise. Too bad for WFAN, which we can`t hear anyway out here, nor should we want to. In case there were any doubt, immediately followed by ``KTNN, AM 660, Window Rock-Sanders`` ID. Sanders AZ is a little town on I-40 at the offset junxion with US 191; KTNN throws in secondary-city IDs from all over the res area. Then ad in English for 1-800-GRANGER, whatever that is as the ad does not explicitly say; Selsun-Blue scalping (gulp) product; quick ``AM-660`` singing ID, country song in English. Got to hand it to The Navajo Nation, rounding up so many national advertisers (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1080, March 2 at 1339 UT, immediately on tune-in, ``Classic Rock 105, The Castle``, ads. So it`s KSLL, Price UT, 10 kW daytimer after 1330 UT sunrise, as also heard yesterday morning. Rather fast SAH, but unsure if with KRLD or something else (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1190, March 2 at 1406 UT, YL Spanish report on drugs in Sinaloa, interjecting ``Milenio``; loops E-W; guess could be XEPZ Juárez --- but then at 1409 UT a CST TC as 8:09, so that`s out. US station? KNUV Tolleson AZ is SS, but also in MST zone; heard before, might be that with a network TC from the Center. Per NRC AM Log, only other 1190 SS is WMEJ, 5 kW daytimer in Mississippi, a bit late for that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
