** ANTARCTICA. 15476-, Sept 30 at 2133-2136+, JBA carrier from LRA36 on its unique off-frequency; checking since it was reported on the air yesterday much later than usual past 2200, but still far too little to copy here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL [and non]. 6010+ & 6010++, Oct 1 at 0054, lo audible heterodyne between two stations both on hi side of nominal, and one of them with some music, no doubt HJDH Colombia and ZYE521 Brasil, the latter which South Americans have greeted as reactivated recently.
BTW, the 2014 WRTH perpetuates a typo in the callsign of 15190, which we outpointed a year or two ago: ZYE622 instead of ZYE522, i.e. to go with ZYE521 on 6010. Aoki has them neighborly, but http://www.inconfidencia.com.br cannot find ZYE521 or ZYE522! At least the two SW frequencies appear somewhere on the home page, after quizzing us, ``Did you know Inconfidência is AM and FM??`` But OC gets no such promotion. Evidently it`s the AM, not FM programming which appears on 6010 if not 15190, but I think they match (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 7210-LSB, Oct 1 at 0117, N1NR and comrades denouncing Communism, and then hit by musical snippets of the ``Internationale``, to which he responds with attempt to sing a few words in English from ``The Star-Spangled Banner``; back and forth, but the inimical Cuban ham playing the Intl is stronger. What fun!
Nelson Roig replies with ``en Cuba se están muriendo de hambre``. Could be true that some Cubans are starving, but we sure won`t find out from RHC. BTW, there is a little-known Spanish version of the ``SSB``, found by Terry Krueger: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-29215415
But N1NR and the unID CO have broken the rules of ham radio by playing any music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 11710, Oct 1 at 0103, R. Cairo Spanish, fair signal with suppressed and distorted modulation, about the same situation as on stronger // 12070 tonight. No het from 11711- Argentina, and Stephen Cooper agrees there was no LRA at 0150
9315, Oct 1 at 0104, R. Cairo Spanish, undermodulated but not so distorted // 12070 & 11710
9965, Oct 1 at 0111, R. Cairo Arabic is just barely modulated, and with whine (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9420 // 9935, Oct 1 at 0105, ERTOpen VG, YL with Greek talk, and JBA carrier on 15630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4055, Oct 1 at 0410 check, R. Verdad is on with music; checking earlier tonight since last night it was off well before 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6925-USB, Oct 1 at 0113, fair signal with pirate music I don`t recognize, XLR8 IDs between, at 0115, 0121; still on past 0132 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OMAN. 15355, Oct 1 at 0107, VP signal with algo, presumably RSO, since it`s missing from proper 9500, and other alternate 15140 bears nothing but Chinese from Xi`an (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Oct 1 at 0053, VP carrier and some modulation from R. Chaski until autocutoff at 0102:10.5*, which is 17.5 seconds later than one trinite ago = averaging 5 and 5/6 later per nite (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 6055, Oct 1 at 0055, REE English canned closing by Justin Coe still says it`s ``daily`` from 0000, so must not be canned yet. Plug pulled at 0057* before the chimes can die out (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA. 11905, Oct 1 at 0114 open carrier, fair with flutter, 0114:46.5 music starts; 0115:19 timesignal ends, SLBC sign-on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 4720, Oct 1 at 0100, weak but clear mix of WTWW Bible Worldwide from 12105, and some other gospel huxter ---- Let`s see, what`s the difference? 7385, i.e. another overload signal from WHRI, so obviously receiver-produced: maybe brought about by messing with a different antenna plug than usual into the DX-398 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 9475 & 5830, Oct 1 at 0106, WTWW-1 missing from day frequency normally still on now, and also from night frequency; while still on 5085 WTWW-2 and now fading down 12105 WTWW-3.
9470, therefore is cleared for audibility of CRI English, fair with flutter, one of countless 308-degree transmissions from Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1530, Oct 1 at 0125 UT, oldies/classic rock from NW/SE is dominating again, so KCMN Colorado Springs, in lieu of WCKY OH. BTW, A Norwegian DXer in the Arctic Radio Club says he has been receiving KCMN every night lately: Odd-Jörgen Sagdahl, in Hundhamaren, Norge. Further evidence KCMN is running 15 kW rather than 15 watts. The Scandinavians are making incredible logs of lots of little North and South American MW stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1520, Oct 1 at 0127 UT, KOKC OKC again with QRM from rippling SAH several Hz off-frequency, but no audio from it. As best I can loop it, from the NE/SW. Of the Illinois/Indiana stations, the one fitting the bill best is WHOW in Clinton IL, which is a 5 kW ND daytimer. Surely some DXers in that area can confirm whether this or some other is leaving an OC on into the night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
