** BRAZIL. 9645+, Sept 21 at 0545, just as I tune in R. Bandeirantes, an
accurate 5(?)-pip timesignal fires mixed with talk –- do they always mark the
quarter-hours?; poor-fair and as usual off to the hi side, compared e.g. to
11645 Vatican Dabanga (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL.
11935-, Sept 21 at 0553, poor signal in Brazuguese, slightly on lo side compared
to 5935 WWCR. This RB2 frequency not logged in a long time, even circa 01 UT, so
was inactive? RB2 also running on weaker 9725-, which is even more off-frequency
to its lo side, compared to 11725 RNZI. Both relaying R. Aparecida as usual,
with Catholic liturgy since furthermore // 11855+ which has a stronger signal on
25m. The 11815 & 11765 Brazilians are also audible in this nightmiddle

** BRAZIL. 11780, Sept 21 at
0554, RNA/RNB modulation is quite distorted, even suptorted, during `Madrugada
Nacional`; wide signal but still no 35-kHz spurs audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** EAST TURKISTAN [and non?]. 13855, Sept 21 at 1347,
Chinese with repeated hets-downward, 16 times per minute at exactly same pitch
range --- some new kind of jamming? Victim is not a USG station, but CRI Chinese
via Kashgar, during this hour only. The sweeps are fading independently of the
CRI, so apparently not same transmitter at fault. With BFO the falling-pitch
hets seem to be coming from the lo side, i.e. sweeping upward if the frequency
is actually VFO, rather than just modulated tones on a co-channel carrier; too
weak to be sure which (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOMALILAND. 7120-, Sept 21 at 1355,
JBA carrier, slightly on the lo side as characteristic for R. Hargeisa, compared
to 1120 KETU at least; CW QRhaM. Usual trace of long-path propagation, which
ought to have quit circa 1400 for its one-hour break (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9370, Sept 21 at 0546, WWRB
day frequency is on again on in the nightmiddle with Brother Scare, but poor
with fadeouts. 3185 is *not* on; nor is 5050 which normally closes earlier
anyway. Even the 50m Tennesseans are poor to very poor now: 5830, 5890, 5935.
3185 WWRBS also missing the next morning circa 1200 when it normally still
propagates (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF
RADIO 1791 monitoring: confirmed Sunday September 20 at 2300 on WRMI 11580,
good. Also confirmed UT Monday Sept 21 from 0300 sharp on Area 51 via WBCQ
5109.7-CUSB (no Johnny Lightning to run over this week); also confirmed UT
Monday Sept 21 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, sufficient but with pulse jamming: tnx a
lot, Arnie! Next:
Tue 1100 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 1315 WRMI 9955 to
SSE
Wed 2100 WBCQ 7490v to WSW

** U S A. 1060.0, Sept 21 at 1209 UT, continuous ranchera music
segués, no announcements to 1222 UT, unless one occurred during 1213 UT fade.
Loops WSW/ENE, no QRM. We know it`s not KIJN Farwell TX, which was religion,
off-frequency, and confirmed last week as silent while close by in NM and TX.
That leaves KXPL El Paso TX, 10 kW daytimer, 500-watt PSRA, per NRC AM
Log 2015, as ``SS:NWS/TLK -- 0800 ET-LSS -- `Radio El Paso-Juárez, con su
música```, rather contradicting the initial format info (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
