** ALASKA. 7355, June 8 at 1215 check, only a JBA carrier from presumed KNLS
during English hour; not the best date to try it, as K-index was 4 with G2 level
geomagnetic storms (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA.
11470, June 8 at 1232, very poor signal in Chinese, i.e. CNR1 jammer against one
of countless 0.1 kW Sound of Hope nuisance transmitters as in Aoki, which could
be active from Taiwan any time between 2100 and 1710. This and possible //
inband frequencies too poor to make an audio match; after having found no CNR1
jammers propagating 12-18 MHz during degraded propagation conditions (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 13850, June 8 at 0333, R.
Cairo, ME music, good modulation for a change! Signal also good, with
flutter
9965, June 8 at 0333, R. Cairo, other Arabic service is now
undermodulated, plus whine but good signal level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** GUAM. 9975, June 8 at 1241, Asian music fair vs ACI from 9980
where the BS from WWCR has not yet built up to full daytime blast level; 1242
Chinese mentioning TWR, and 1243 ID as KTWR Agana (not Agaña) and then off circa
1245. Per Aoki, 1215-1245 is in Chinese M-F with 200 kW, Japanese on Sundays
with only 100 kW but on same 315-azimuth antenna. And 9975 will be back at
1330-1445 mostly in 200 kW Chinese (Mandarin), but again halved to only 100 kW
for less important Hui and Cantonese segments at 1400-1430; does this reflect
jamming priorities too? I was not hearing any (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1060+, June 7 at 0505, end Mexican NA and immediate
full ID for XERDO by SHVA, also XHRDO (?), so apparently this new AM station in
Matamoros, Tamaulipas also has an FM dupe; not mentioned in the last Cantú list
I preserved from February. Usual low audible het since it`s off-frequency to hi
side, and copying in USB helps a lot; simultaneously hearing non-hyped
on-frequency announcements from XEEP México DF. Evidently RCC`s KRCN in CO is
not cheating with 50 kW day power at the moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1090, June 7 at 0513, pausa en Milenio noticias,
dominating channel rather than KAAY or anything else, but bothered by KRLD IBOC,
lessened by off-tuning to 1088; so it`s XEAU, 5/0.5 kW in Monterrey NL with TV
soundtrack (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Not much
sporadic E VHF DX showing lately, just in UT:
June 6: 2053 on 2, brief bit of
video shows
2057 on 2, fútbol, Net 7 bug in UR; XHTAU Tampico?
(Glenn
Hauser, OK, June 8, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 930, June 7 at 1222
UT, yes, WKY, `La Indomable`, OKC, is still defaulting to unaccented English for
a pubaffs talk show on Sunday mornings for less than a semihour circa 1200 UT
--- discussion of some Medieval Times event (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SOMALILAND. 7120, June 8 at 0328, no signal from R. Hargeisa,
but at 0331 a very poor AM carrier vs CW QRhaM. Kouji Hashimoto, Japan, who`s
such a fan that hargeisa is in his e-mail address, continues to monitor its
closedown almost every night in May within two minutes of 1900* (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 15770, June 7 at 1250,
open carrier from WRMI. We can hardly wait till 1300 for Brother Scare to start,
since the other two frequencies, 11580 and 11825, both have Asian QRM, while
15770 never does (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 9515,
June 8 at 0331, VOT with music, good but fluttery, ID, 0332 into `Eco-Friendly
Turkey`. I had started listening to webcast at 0300 for news about the elexion,
disturbances; attainable via http://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm
15450,
June 8 at 1230, VOT opening English is strangely one of very few signals audible
on 19m during degraded K=4, G2 propagation, yet insufficient (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1776 monitoring: confirmed
in progress UT Sunday June 7 at 0330 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM. JBA vs noise level, and
could not determine when it may have started, but after 0315.
WOR 1776
also confirmed on WRMI: Sunday June 7 at 2100 on 15770; 2300 on 11580; and UT
Monday June 8 at 0330 on 9955, the latter with lite pulse jamming; tnx a lot,
Arnie! Also confirmed on Area 51 webcast, UT Monday June 8 at 0300, and on
5110-, CUSB, checked at 0329, fair signal vs storm noise, (and over to Hobart at
0330). 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

** ZANZIBAR. 6015, June 8 at 0329, poor signal, talk in presumed
Swahili, from ZBC. Also reported by Ron Howard in California, at 0338-0407 June
8 in ``above average reception`` with this 2+ minute sample:
Note
the 5+1 timesignal at the very end is at 2-second intervals. We haven`t heard
11735 circa 2000 in a long time; still on? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
