** ALGERIA [non]. 7295, Sept 2 at 0554, RTA via FRANCE in Arabic with reverb/echo and flutter, as often the case now. This is very strange, considering that other European signals, altho admittedly at different azimuths and from different sites, display no such characteristix, e.g. TWR Polish via AUSTRIA about to finish on 7320 --- steady signal with no echo. I again suspect that ISSoudun is running *two* slightly unsynchronized transmitters on 7295, and I mean both in audio feed and in frequency, causing echo and SAH rather than propagational fading.
HFCC shows 04-05 at 162 degrees and 05-06 at 194 degrees. Possibly instead of turning off the first transmitter at 0500, it is staying on too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 9230, Sept 2 at 1336, CNR1 jammer, poor, // 11785; none in the 8s. 9230v was one of numerous Sound of Hope frequencies in an Aug 8 bandscan by Wolfgang Büschel and also May 20 by Sei-ichi Hasegawa.
10960, Sept 2 at 1338, CNR1 jammer, good, about 2 seconds behind 9230
12870, Sept 2 at 1340, CNR1 jammer, good // and synch with 10960. None in the 13s, 14s, 16s, 17s, 18s, 19s, and the 15115-15195-15265 batch are very poor to poor today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6000, Sept 2 at 0557, RHC closing an English hour, but with SAH from a second transmitter, still such when ``news`` restarts at 0601. Then at 0602, I find that 6100 is missing, so once again, RadioCuba have erred in putting the 6100 transmitter also on 6000, causing self-interference (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 15120-AM, Sept 2 at 0532, fair signal from VON, first heard in quite a while, but it`s JBM, totally useless (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1120, Sept 1 circa 1825 UT check on caradio, KEOR Catoosa/Sperry/Tulsa is AWOL again tho it was on a couple of hours earlier. Let`s call it extremely unreliable, which can`t be good for business (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12105, Sept 1 at 1849, WTWW-3 with a new ``interval signal``, or is it just filler when programming crashes? Anyhow, a keyboard melody replays every 1 minute and 28.5 seconds from tune-in until 1900, jump-cut to same melody but overlain with Ted ID, and then into Spanish Bibling as now scheduled during this hour only.
9475, WTWW-1, meanwhile is off the air at 1849, but 9930, WTWW-2, is on with BS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1736 monitoring: confirmed on WRMI 9955, at 1104 UT Tuesday Sept 2 as a storm awakens me briefly; fair signal, now atop SAH from France in Chinese via Taiwan, still co-channel. Next:
Wednesday 0630 & 1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB
Wednesday 1315 on 9955 (after the CCCCI finishes at 1300)
Wednesday 2100 on WBCQ 7490v
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 13564-CW approx., Sept 2 at 1416, GNK beacon very poor but copiable only on the FRG-7 with longwire, which means I can`t pinpoint the frequency on the analog dial, but previously logged around here. Harold Frodge says it`s operated by KC9GNK in Madison WI, and some logs in HF Underground say it`s 3 or 4 milliwatts. QRZ.com listing for him says nothing about it: ``KC9GNK, Domenic R Bianco, 1113 E Johnson Apt 2, Madison, WI 53703 USA``. Also another even weaker CW beacon on a slightly different frequency I cannot copy (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
