** AUSTRIA. 9690, June 3 at 0207, fair-good signal in S Asian language, lots of
words ending in -heh. It`s AWR in Urdu, due east from Moosbrunn, and no sign of
KBS due southwest from Kimjae allegedly in English co-channel (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11815, June 3 at 0155, RBC is detectable
under crackling spur from 11780.1v RNA/RNB which this time is very strong and
splattering out to +/- ~13 kHz, but on fundamental itself not distorted.
Matching crackler circa 11745 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
CHINA. 16100, June 3 at 1331, CNR1 jammer, fair; none OOB higher or lower in the
18S, 17s, 15s, 14s, 13s, 12s, 11s, 10s, but // some regular inbanders on 11640,
11785, 15115, 15265; also very poor 13830 which is out of synch (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5040, June 3 at 0154 check, RHC
modulation is back to normal, VG signal, unlike 24 hours ago (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 12070 & 11935 & 9965 & 9315,
June 3 at 0154, once again for the second night, all four R. Cairo transmitters
to the Americas are absent. Nor 13850 at 0214. Have they finally given up, or
taken those awful transmitters off the air for repairs? Hardly:
12070,
June 4 at 0110, R. Cairo is back, good signal with Spanish and not too distorted
but rumbly
11935, June 4 at 0110 at first I think R. Cairo is absent but
at 0117 I do find a very poor signal here // 9315; normally it`s almost as
strong as 12070. Ironically, 11935 has the best modulation
9965, June 4
at 0110, R. Cairo, fair-good in Arabic with whine
9315, June 4 at 0111,
R. Cairo, fair in Spanish, very suptorted so that we only hear the modulation
peak spikes, useless except for confirming 11935 by // (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD

** MEXICO. Sporadic E TV DX, June 2,
after leaving monitor on all UT day:
2243 on 2, fade in CCI weak: I see
on 6m map there is a major opening between eastern USA and Portugal/West Africa,
apparently a little leaking out this way. But anything analog is very likely
Mexico here
2252 on 2, scenes of glaciers calving, cut to guy in studio
holding a ball or balloon
2305 on 2, another brief fade-in of
algo
UT June 3:
0127 on 2, brief fade in with Azteca 7 bug in UR,
Simpsons; XHTAU Tampico?
Here at peak(?) of Es season, continues to be
unrewarding; yet to see a channel 2-6 + FM MUF opening.
1420 on 2, a bit
of Spanish audio peaks in and out
1501 on 2, f bug in LR, i.e. Foro TV
Televisa net-4
1505 on 2, glimpse of SIPSE logo full screen, i.e. XHY-TV
Mérida, Yuc
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA.
6876-AM, June 4 at 0111, poor signal with music on the typical frequency of The
Crystal Ship. Does any other pirate ever land here? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1650, June 3 at 0218 UT, seems that KYHN
Sallisaw is off the air: all I am getting is Fox Sports from IA or Spanish from
CO, with nothing in between; ditto at 0602 UT recheck.
However June 4 at
0126, I have a weak signal from the direxion of Fort Smith AR, resuming the
Jerry-something show, 0131-0132 UT CBS News Update. Schedule http://kyhnradio.com/schedule confirms
it`s the Jerry Doyle show on KYHN (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, June 4 at 0107, no signal already from R. Chaski.
I`ve yet to get back to checking for it if reset to cut off as early as circa
0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGSET)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO
1775 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday June 3 at 2100 on WBCQ webcast of 7490. As
always, the automation inserts a couple notes of intrusive music between their
canned ID and the start of WOR; something WRMI also does at times.

** U S A. 9330, June 3
at 0154, WBCQ is on again past 0209 with gospel huxter, still zero entries on
this frequency`s schedule; 7 & 5 still BS. Ditto June 4 at 0107 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7505+, June 4 at 0108 check,
WRNO is still off, nominal 01-04 UT summer schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9265, UT Wednesday June 3 at 0210, no signal
from WINB, rather early for them to be off, isn`t it? Online program schedule
effective May 3 for Tuesday night ends with
``09:30P /
Wed-0230...NeUventureon Wallstreet`` [sic], in ``EST``. America`s Oldest Private
International SW Station still doesn`t know anything about time conversion ---
So do they really mean 9:30 pm EDT / Wed 0130 UT, in which case it might well be
over by 0200 (but end times of final shows of the day are never specified)? Or
do they mean starting at 10:30 pm EDT which is really 0230 UT? Cross reference
by program title spells it exactly the same strange way. Also on own website I
found, HQ in of all places, Corsicana TX, running seminars all over the country
the rest of the year (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A.
1220, June 3 at 0615 UT, S Asian music with big het on hi side, i.e. KZEE
Weatherford TX, 1600/200 watts, and the longtime off-frequency Texan, KMVL
Madisonvillle, 500/11 watts and/or its experimental co-channel booster in
Huntsville, KM2XVL, 170/11 watts. Day powers, anyone? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1530, June 3 at 0159 UT with WCKY nulled,
church notices including one for New Salem, Arkansas. No doubt KVDW England AR
again, the 2.5 kW cheatin` daytimer. Rand McNally has two towns called Salem in
different parts of AR but no New Salem. One of them, also on the outskirts of
Little Rock, should be in the KVDW coverage area. Critical hours before sunset
it`s supposed to cut to only 27 watts, but if you`re going to go late past
official June sunset of 0115 UT (same in July), why bother with less than 2500?
FCC won`t get `em for that, but maybe God`ll (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1590, June 4 at 0127 UT NWS robot with tornado watch
for central KS, closing with those annoying beeps interrupting programming,
which must therefore be KVGB Great Bend; maps confirm it`s so, while here in OK,
weather is quiet and warming up (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1500, June 3 at 0200 UT, in KSTP null, blues song
mentioning Oklahoma, ``I got a woman`` --- not exactly the format we expect from
KPGM Pawhuska, but tantalizing us (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1560, June 3 at 0606 UT, `When Radio Was` is
opening, to feature a Red Skelton and a Richard Diamond; loops roughly
NE/SW.
The only 1560 in a search of every state from TX to MN to OH to AR
on the show`s station finder
is
KBEW, but not at this time as it`s a 1 kW daytimer:
When Radio
Was
Station City, State/Province Broadcast Times
KBEW 1560 AM Blue
Earth, MN Su 2p-4p
And KBEW website, which is a merely inside its
FM, agrees:
``When
Radio Was --- Hear all of your favorite radio programs from the past on When
Radio Was! Tune in Sunday afternoons from 2 - 4 on AM 1560!`` lacking a complete
program schedule.
It`s possible KBEW AM has a 24-hour webcast repeating
programs and if the transmitter happens to be on overnight, out they go.
Apparently no FM translator in this case (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6913-USB, June 3 at 0157, weak English 2-way talk;
cf last log June 24 at 0117, believed to be a US Army MARS net (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
