Glenn Hauser logs July 8-9, 2015


** CUBA. 9530, July 9 at 0208, pulse jamming too close for comfort to 9535 RHC Spanish. Timed at rate of 100 per minute, and sounds the same as others on 7430 and 6080. 9530 seems new to me; happens to be two times 4765, the R. Progreso frequency, but I suppose coincidental (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 13850, July 9 at 0205, R. Cairo, VG signal on 5-hour frequency to N America, but Arabic music is suptorted (suppressed and distorted). Not any better after 0500.

9315, July 9 at 0207, R. Cairo, fair signal but open carrier/dead air instead of English to N America; as usual.

9965, July 9 at 0210, R. Cairo good signal but presumed Arabic is just barely modulated (JBM) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1530, July 9 at 0220 UT, KXTD Wagoner (Tulsa market), 5 kW daytimer is still running way past official sunset, with regional Mexican music, various slogans by super-hype voice actor (SHVA) inserted between two seguéd songs, such as ``Radio Estilo(?), Qué Buena``; 0226, ``Qué Buena, Tulsa``, and again at 0237; still on at 0251; 0253, ``la estación que marcó la diferencia y lo sigue haciendo, la Qué Buena``, 0259 same one, and no legal call letter ID either. Spelling it with a Q as per NRC AM Log, rather than Ke as may be trademarked in México, in which case I guess the accent on the E is unnecessary. Was making medium-fast SAH with somestation, WCKY or maybe fellow cheater KVDW AR (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PAPUA NEW GUINEA [non]. 12025, July 9 at 0527, good signal from NBC relay via AUSTRALIA, we think Shepparton site; discussing game stats, but not during play at the moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17895, July 8 at 1410, very strong open carrier, except for some clicking – almost sounds like Morse code without any tones, until off at 1412*. No doubt it`s Greenville checking out the transmitter for later broadcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 11750, July 9 at 0525, fair signal with child singing, sounds like Qur`an; could it be? As this is VOA Hausa via Woofferton UK; not much 11745 crackling spur this time from Brasil 11780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505.3, July 9 at 0212, still AWOL is WRNO. If anyone ever hears them again, do let us know. Previously bookmarked About Us page http://wrnoradio.com/?page_id=1729 is now unfound, ``just another WordPress site`` --- but home http://wrnoworldwide.com is still there and linx directly to ten reception reports over the past year+, even from Russia, the latest from March 5, apparently submitted via the site. Otherwise nothing to indicate they are really silent; shhh! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5890, July 9 at 0213, VG signal but open carrier/dead air from WWCR-4, still so at 0252 check. Website transmitter schedule shows it`s supposed to be on from 02 to 12. More detailed program sked shows E. C. Fulcher`s `Truth House Ministries` at 02-03 UT Tue-Sat before the BS from 0300. Only on UT Mon is 5890 supposed to be off until 04, and UT Sun until 03 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
