** BRAZIL. 11815, July 11 at 0248, R. Brasil Central, fair with music, hardly
any crackling spur QRM from 11780, and only JBA on clear 11745; yet 11780 is up
to its usual super-strength. Maybe EBC have finally been working on their
horrible spur problem, or maybe it`s a fluke; we shall hear (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 21610, July 11 at 0243, very poor signal
with Doppler flutter, seems Chinese. Yes: it`s the Saturday-only frequency at
02-03 of RFA Tibetan via TINIAN, requiring CNR1 jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11670, July 11 at 0235, VG signal from RHC but
open carrier/dead air. 11760 is off; 11840 is on but distorted; 13740 is less
distorted. Also on usual 31 and 49m channels. At 0254, still OCDA on 11670, but
with a variable SAH, from second silent transmitter? Approx. 2 Hz. Per Aoki,
11670 supposed to modulate until 0400, with CNR2 Beijing site co-channel beyond
RHC`s span. Wolfgang Büschel was also monitoring in following hour, via a remote
in Detroit:
``CUBA on shortwave bands in 0300-0315 UT time slot. Both
11670 kHz S=9+15 and 11840 kHz S=8-9 carriers were on air, but NO AUDIO
modulation at all could be observed so far!`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 7405, July 11 at 0246, open carrier/dead air,
evidently Greenville warming up already for R. Martí from 0300; by 0254, jamming
underneath is just starting to ramp up with lite pulsing before blasting
full-bore (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 9315, July
11 0233, R. Cairo fair signal, but big noise grinding, no programming audible
from English service
9965, July 11 at 0234, R. Cairo, fair signal, in
Arabic, undermodulated
13850, July 11 at 0239, R. Cairo, poor signal with
flutter, suptorted other Arabic.
Coincidentally, Wolfgang Büschel was
monitoring these during the same hour and reports, apparently via a remote
receiver in Michigan:
``13850.063, odd frequency broadcast from Abis
site, Radio Cairo Arabic, DISTORTED audio transmission, S=9+10dB fluttery.
Spoken part small audioband of 2.5 kHz only, but music part like 8 kHz
wideband.
9315.0, Radio Cairo in English, much distorted audio signal, 13
peaks like a garden fence visible, S=8-9 signals on each sideband, straight 100
Hertz apart distance each peak.
9964.575, Radio Cairo Arabic, good signal
so far, but low modulated at
S=9+10dB level at 0250 UT July 11. wb`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9935, July 11 at 0232, big
humbuzz from ERA over music, which is clear on // 9420; at least they are on air
tonight, unlike 25 hours earlier. In another coincidence, Wolfgang was also
monitoring these during the following hour:
``Flute station ID of ERT
Avlis noted when tuned-in at 0330 UT on July 11. 9934.997 kHz but wandered in
following 10 minutes up to 9935.003 kHz, also 13 wandering peaks visible, each
54 Hertz apart distance both sidebands. Compared to 9420 \\, 9935v is much lower
modulated today, only 10% mod noted. Weak S=6-7 signal in Detroit MI-US SDR
remote unit, S=8-9 in Russia, S=9+10dB in Italy, Germany, Belgium remote
SDR's.
\\ 9420.005 kHz was much stronger S=9+10dB signal in
Detroit-MI-USA, S=9+20db in Moscow Russia. And S=9+20dB or even more in Italy,
Germany, and Belgium. wb`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

OKLAHOMA. 1530, UT Saturday July 11 at 0226 UT, no sign of KXTD Wagoner OK, La
Qué Buena, cheating after 0145 UT sunset, as I have been hearing previous eves;
what`s wrong? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5110, July 11 at 0232, no signal from
WBCQ, but in well on 7490 with BS and 9330 with other BS; recheck 5110 at 0240,
now it`s on with BS, poor signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 850, July 11 at 0217 UT, nice organ music from NE/SW,
must be KFUO Clayton MO; mutually nullable with KOA in break during Rockies
Radio Net with ad mentioning Front Range. 0230 UT, KFUO sign-off, disclaimer
about opinions not necessarily representing the Lutheran CMS; continue listening
to kfuo.org, starts some Finlandia (no doubt repurposed as hymn), cuts it off at
0231*. Still in July, daytimer+ KFUO gets to stay on until official sunset in
Denver 0230 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1110,
July 11 at 0220 UT, S Asian music making heavy QRM with KFAB and a SAH of
approx. 210/minute = 3.5 Hz. Must be The Metroplex 50 kW daytimer KVTT, or maybe
cut to 39 kW for Critical Hours, since it`s on way past legal sunset anyway in
Mineral Wells. (FCC website is down so no quick check of SR/SS table; and
private fccinfo.com doesn`t provide that.) Now known as FunAsia Radio per
Radio-Locator; for NRC AM Log 2014 compiled a year ago, it was Radio Dhanak.
Program schedule at http://www.funasia.net/radio.php?radio_id=1
shows
stuff starting at 7 pm [0000 UT] but no end time; hmmm. Still going at 0250 UT,
but KFAB is gaining on it. Later at night after 0500 I have not been hearing any
KVTT, so when do they really turn off? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1450, July 11 at 0225 UT, ad for something in
``downtown Warrensburg``, maybe during game, atop the graveyard pileup. It`s
KOKO, Warrensburg MO, outdistancing about six closer 1450s including two in OK,
at 450 km = 280 statute miles (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING
