Glenn Hauser logs September 1, 2014

** AUSTRALIA. While I chided RA for skipping the TV news hour on Mondays, I`m glad that the `Science Show` is available instead! Sept 1 listened from 1230 to 1300 on 9580,

first about retrieving fossils from Antarctica,

and then about how essential reforestation is:http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/scienceshow/richard-st-barbe-bakere28099s-environmental-fears/5706672

RA is certainly the #1 SW source left for intelligent programming, and it isn`t even for us, but for a tiny audience in the central Pacific, beyond which we happen to lie (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 6180, Sept 1 at 0552, RNA signal is rather weak; underpowered or propagation? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 7210-LSB, Sept 1 at 0123, intermittent music jamming N1NR and/or friends discussing comunistas (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 9965, Sept 1 at 0112, R. Cairo Arabic, good with flutter, undermodulated and whiny

12070, Sept 1 at 0115, R. Cairo Spanish at very good level but extremely distorted

9315, Sept 1 at 0122, R. Cairo Spanish is just open carrier/dead air on fair signal; 11710 unchecked (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9935, Sept 1 at 0113, ERTOPen on tonight with Greek talk, // stronger 9420. Nothing on 11645 this time, but JBA signal on 15630 vs noise level, probably this. At 0545 Sept 1, Greek music and talk still on 9420 good, 9935 fair (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 12025, Sept 1 at 0116, VRII Spanish is poor but better than // 9860, flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1120, August 30 circa 15-16 UT on caradio, notice that KEOR Catoosa/Sperry/Tulsa is missing and it may have been for some days. However, it`s on with música de alabanza, Sept 1 at 1641 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, Sept 1 at 0114 carrier, 0114:43.5 music starts, 0115:17.5 timesignal ends, SLBC opening, poor with flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5110v-CUSB, Sept 1 at 0120, no signal from WBCQ during Area 51, but ops normal on 9330, 7490; none on 15420 either. Missed rechecking at 0300 for WORLD OF RADIO on 5110; was it on by then? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12105, Sept 1 at 0115, WTWW-3 is off; 9475, Sept 1 at 0119, WTWW-1 modulation is breaking up badly; very strong signal level also drops abruptly but not correlating with modulation. Still breaking up at 0129. Ted must be too busy with his music program on WTWW-2 5085 to notice the problem with WTWW-1; playing hymn ``Blessèd [allegèd] Assurance``. By 0135 check, 9475 not breaking up (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 850, Sept 1 at 0134 UT, organ music ENE/WSW, better than KOA at the moment; no doubt LCMS` KFUO, Clayton MO, my ex-local station while at Washington University a semicentury ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
