** AUSTRALIA. 15550, June 28 at 1242, very poor signal with gospel huxter on AM,
seemingly English with consecutive translation into algo, 1243 hymn, 1245
``Reach Beyond Australia, life-changing radio`` ID and off. HFCC shows 340
degrees from KNX in Mandarin. Interesting to hear some g.h. other than WJHR here

** CANADA. Channel A2, NTSC, June
28 at 1449 UT, video fades in; will it be Spanish or English? The latter, soon
preaching, 1452 already wrapping up `Living Truth`, with contact info, including
.ca website, Toronto address. For less than a minute, the video is strong and
sharp, despite antenna still aimed toward México. I bet it`s CHBX, Sault Ste
Marie Ont., now my prime Canadian TVDX not yet DTV --- yes, local.ca schedule
for CHBX shows `Living Truth` Sunday 10-11 am EDT. 6m map alleges MUF is 113 MHz
centered around Illinois, so I check for SSM FM: 88.1 could bear CBON-FM-18,
3.59 kW, SRC; 89.5 has CBSM-FM = CBC Radio 1, 46 kW, but neither making it here.
No more TV or FM DX today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
CUBA. 5990, June 28 at 0103, CRI relay is still on in English, failing to cut
off before 0100; and June 29 at least carrier still on at 0103. Noticed as I was
checking Chaski on 5980, but couldn`t get a sharp cutoff time for it (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE [and non]. 11645, June 29 at
0509, R. Dabanga via VATICAN has low rumbling het, presumably ERA active on the
frequency it used long before Dab shifted to it, but not enough audio to make //
to 9420 which is fair and clear. At least the tone jammer has the good nonsense
to stay on 11650 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD
OF RADIO 1779 monitoring: confirmed all three Sunday broadcasts on WRMI: 2100 on
15770, 2300 on 11580, UT Monday 0330 on 9955, all sufficient. Also confirmed on
Area 51 via WBCQ, 5110-CUSB, just barely audible Monday from 0302 and still on
by 0327 as well as webcast. Next:
1100 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955
0630 UT
Wednesday HLR 7265-CUSB
1315 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955
1430 UT Wednesday HLR
7265-CUSB
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v

** U S A. 9475, June 28 at 0545, WTWW-1 is still on day
frequency! PPPP is now poorly propagating, vs blasting in daytime, talking about
``raping trailer trash girls``; no signal on 5830. Probably stayed on 9475 all
night after Ted neglected to make the switch circa 0200; meant to check during
night wakeups, but missed. 9475 next noted at 1338, while it`s not supposed to
start until 1400. 5085, WTWW-2 was on earlier with ham stuff, but now at 0549
some hum is louder than Ted; wiggle that patchcord (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. 15650-15670, June 29 at 1324, modulation
spike spurs from and // 15825 WWCR-1 which is getting a sporadic-E boost (but
not into VHF). Another search for a match on the hi side finds same but slightly
weaker around 15980-15990. These are at roughly equal separations: 155-175 kHz
on the lo side, 155-165 kHz on hi side, say plus and minus 160 kHz peaks (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1290, June 29 at 1224 UT, ad
for Razorback Camper Sales in Hot Springs AR, making 1.7 Hz SAH with KWFS,
Wichita Falls TX, and more or less mutually nullable. Trouble is, there are two
AR stations on 1290, neither near Hot Springs --- KDMS El Dorado 2.5 kW at the
southern edge of the state next to LA is slightly closer, but 5 kW KUOA Siloam
Springs in the NW at the OK border is more likely here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1500, Monday June 29 at 1220 UT, `Amos `n`
Andy` from north/south, just about to fade out an hour after sunrise ---
apparently the originals rather than the also late Ed Bolton`s recreations which
were only on WBCQ? Surely it`s our nearest 1500 to the south, KJIM Sherman TX,
nostalgia. Yahoo search for site gets a higher hit to
Kjim 1500 AM
Marriage Counseling Radio
which is phony, but maybe good for some cheap
chuckles. Real site is:
where the
header of personalities does not include anyone in black-face, and there`s no
program schedule; claims to reach 5 megapeople, since edge of daytime coverage
extends into The Metroplex (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
