** AUSTRALIA. 12065 // 9580 and much weaker // 12085, Friday April 18 at 1315 tune-in RA to a very interesting interview with anti-nuclear activist who built up Physicians for Social Responsibility and then was removed from leadership, she thinks by FBI and CIA conspiracy influencing the board of directors. Never hear her name! And 1327 cut off abruptly and rudely before show is over for 3 minutes of RA promos, 1330 onto next show `Future Tense` subject ``Utopia`s Second Coming``. PSR guest must have been Dr Helen Caldicott, but what was the show? RA online program schedule pages refuse to display anything. This is also not a good Friday for propagation, making RA signals stand out even more vs northerly attenuations (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9664.74 approx., April 18 at 0111, R. Voz Missionária with music, poor signal much weaker than 11855.24 tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11855.24 approx., April 18 at 0103, R. Aparecida still on this off-frequency like 48 hours ago, tho there`s nothing now to het it. Usual ToH recitation of long list of affiliates all over Brasil ending with one in Guajará Mirim, Rondônia, and on to `Com a Mãe Aparecida` super-Catholic show (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. Quick CNR1 jammer survey morning of April 18:
16100, April 18 at 1347, CNR1 jammer, fair, seems only one 12-18 MHz
15580, April 18 at 1423, VOA Music Mix via SÃO TOMÉ has CCI making fast SAH, and I can barely // it to 16100 which is now up to fair-good level. Also seems het on lo side of 15580 between that and 15575 KBS, so V. of Tibet attracted it here; however, Aoki shows VOT on 15577 via Tajikistan only at 1230-1240, but these segments are constantly jumbling (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
17740, April 18 at 1426, CNR1 jammer, fair signal with CCI, i.e. VOA Tibetan via THAILAND, daily during this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [non]. 9690, April 18 at 0347 check, CRI in English again during this hour via SPAIN, // but not synchronized 9790 CUBA. So never mind my WOR 1717 item that Chinese has replaced English at 03-04 on 9690, tho that was certainly the case when I last checked April 14. Perhaps they are undecided or subject to mixups (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 9550, April 18 at 0102, still no RHC signal here despite continuing to claim it on A-14 schedule athttp://www.radiohc.cu/interesantes/estaticas/frecuencias
not only at 11-13, but at 21-05 UT (and we`ve also heard it in the 13-15 period). Also at 0102, RHC is on 11670, 11760 and 11840 with VG signals altho same schedule claims 11760 is not used at all after 2030! RHC never gets its act together, and Arnie will blame me, the messenger, for saying so (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE [non]. 9420, April 18 at 0113 speech in reverby chamber, probably sermon, in Arabic, or Farsi? Poor signal. Anyhow, it`s VIRI, with Helleniki Radiophonia missing from this and all its other frequencies (Glenn hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 13625, April 18 at 1430, fair-good signal in Burmese with Christian hymn tune at 1432. It`s KSDA at 1430-1500, and per Aoki I have lucked into the sole station on 13625 anywhen, anywhere (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 11980, April 18 at 0101, AIR Sinhala service via Delhi-Khampur with another failure: dead air tho good signal with flutter, while // via GOA 11740 tho weaker with flutter, is musical; by 0105, 11985 is back with unsynchronized music too. I am also hearing a het on the lo side of 11740, and at 0113 just before it goes off I discover that AIR is the one off-frequency, about 11740.2. Aoki and HFCC show no other 11740s on air at this time, unless it`s CNR2 Lingshi 725 site, China, on past listed 0100* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, April 18 at 0056, JBA carrier from R. Chaski also vs hashsplash from 5990 CRI/CUBA. 5980 still JBA in the clear after 0100 until cutoff at 0108:38.5*, which is 17.5 seconds later than three nights ago, so the 0108:34* two nights ago was quite the anomaly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9370, April 18 at 0117, WWRB is still on day-frequency with BS, rather than 3185. HFCC and FCC A-14 registrations show 13-24 on 9385, 00-13 on 3185. The morning switchover time also varies widely.
9690, April 18 at 1435 via WRMI, BS is mentioning he will be on a new schedule in a few days via World Harvest Radio. (Of course, this may have been an old recording) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA. 11905, April 18 at 0114:52, music starts from SLBC after carrier-on earlier in this minute, good with heavy flutter; 2+1 mistimesignal ends at 0115:19, sign-on in Hindi pronouncing ``Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation`` in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1717 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW, 9475, Thursday April 17 from 2100:53, usual excellent signal.
Also confirmed on WWRB 5050, UT Friday April 18 starting abruptly at 0327, in fact overlapping and cutting short previous g.h., unusually with no pause at all. This WOR playback, however, is overmodulated and distorted, perhaps unattended until over at 0356, and instead of cutting off the air immediately, carrier still on past 0400. Next:
Saturday 0630 & 1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB
Saturday 2330 on WTWW 9930
UT Sunday 0030 on WRMI 9495 (likely previous edition)
UT Sunday 0401 on WTWW 5830
UT Monday 0300 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB
Tuesday 1100 & Wednesday 1300 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 0630 & 1430 on HLR 7265-CUSB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7506.6, April 18 at 0115 check, WRNO still missing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1700, April 18 at 0132 UT, ``Rockin` The Metroplex with a totally Tejano sound, Kick—1700``, and back to music in Spanish. VG dominant signal now, atop the 1700 sportsters, and except for local 1640, stronger than anything else on the X-band, so I believe KKLF Richardson TX is probably still on day power 10 kW (as others have concluded) rather than 1 kW night power (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VIETNAM [non]. 13825, April 18 at 1429, Vietnamese with bits of classical music, fair signal in the clear, i.e. Radio Free Asia via SAIPAN during this hour only, and when there is no longer any ACI from legit stations or jammers on 13820 or 13830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4785, April 18 at 0106, weak signal sending slow CW, almost slow enough for me to copy with concentration, but never got back to it. Maybe MARS? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6138-6153 approx., April 18 at 0057, rapid pulsing peaking circa 6147, poor signal, but I am suspicious whenever something like this appear inside an SWBC band. Maybe OTH radar rather than Brasil out of order again, as it`s OK on 6180 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 13560.7-AM approx., April 18 at 0520 I encounter some kind of broadcast with unreadable talk, not sure if English, and some music fading in and out; very poor signal and also vs CODAR. First I check to be sure it`s not // local KCRC 1390 somehow overloading or mixing; 0528 a little better with ``Columbia Broadcasting System`` ID for some program ``every Sunday night``, so it`s old-time-radio, ad for something about Adam? 0532 for Adler`s Elevator Shoes, making a man seem two inches taller, as he has every right to appear! 0533 ``The 1920`s Radio Network presents: `The Inner Sanctum``` and into that classic show. By 0535 it`s a little stronger.
Meanwhile I am figuring out possible fundamentals if this be an harmonic: Not heard on 6780, 4520 or 3390. No longer heard a bit before next check 0600. So anyhow, appears to be a pirate, probably in North America, tho legit signals from Europe to Australia are propagating on the 22m band. Searching freeradiocafe and hfunderground gets zero hits on 13560; nor do I find any recent logs on that frequency in DXLD archives (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
