Glenn Hauser logs June 3, 2014

** BOLIVIA. 4716.64 approx., June 3 at 0121, R. Yura in better than usual, fair signal with music and YL speaking Spanish, but rough modulation, audio cutting out (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOLIVIA. 5952.4, June 3 at 0104, R. Pio XII sounds non-Spanish in W&M conversation, ACI from 5950 WRMI, a new mutual problem. CP signals are above average tonight, and this puts a het upon WRMI in return. Chuck Bolland was also listening a few minutes earlier and complains of splatter; of course, he`s right across Lake Okeechobee from WRMI which is suddenly on 5950, 24 hours a day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6771.6 approx., June 3 at 0056 checking for nameless pirate (?) playing old time radio shows, per numerous reports from further east. At first nothing, but fade in briefly with some jazz, out again. Chris Smolinski of hfunderground and Ed Insinger in NJ say it seems to be running 24/7 with music in the daytime and ``Feature Story News`` on the hour. Such scheduling is atypical of pirates (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-AM, June 3 at 0055, music with big wow on it artificially imposed; 0116 talking about desigining QSLs with pictures, SINPO 25232; 0118 sweep tone and swing(?) music; 0129 mentions `Grass Cutter Sunshine Show` (?), how he is not into techo-music; 0130 suggests making one or two generic e-QSL cards. ``Let us know if that`s OK`` -
MACshortwaveradio@gmail.com ``Nothing personal`` if QSL response is slow (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU [and non]. 5980, June 3 at 0058, JBA carrier again vs Cuban pulse jamming surely not intended for R. Chaski but such are the risks of ever using a R. Martí frequency. Cuts off at 0113:04*, which is 18 seconds later than last check two sesquidays ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, June 3 from *0114:15 carrier, 0114:49 music, 0115:18.5 mistimesignal reapplied by SLBC, poor signal opening morning service; if it`s Tuesday, this must be Bangla (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9770 // 9870, June 3 at 0108, Voz de Turquía manages to transmit stilted Spanish on both scheduled frequencies tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5015, UT Tue June 3 at 0050, WRMI`s new frequency ex-9495, with DX program in Spanish; outro already at 0054, as `La Rosa de Tokio`, which means it started at 0000. Sufficiently fair signal here, AND it`s // much stronger 11730, contrary to frequency schedule which shows TOM there from 0000, but the BS did not really start until 0100 on 11730 as 5015 went off for a few hours. Hope this continue to be the case, including UT Sundays for WORLD OF RADIO at 0030.

9955, UT Tue June 3 at 0109, checking WRMI`s main channel, surprised to hear Radio Free Grenada, in English, when it was on 15105 --- axually a clip during `Historias de Radio` program, more English clips and rapid narration in Spanish also mentions later move to 15045. After 0115 mostly music fill, maybe some of it Grenadan at first. 0130 on to `Frecuencia al Día`. Not much jamming at this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5110v-CUSB and 9330-CUSB, June 3 at 0124, WBCQ missing from both, but 7489.95 is still on with BS, only fair signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST)
