** AUSTRALIA. 9580, Sept 6 at 1305, RA`s `Sunday Nights` from ABC Local Radio,
interviewing author Tariq Ali, a non-believing but cultural Moslem for most of
this hour; couldn`t pull away from it for NPR Weekend Edition Sunday instead. I
assume the podcast will soon be available via http://www.abc.net.au/sundaynights/

Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 4885.0, Sept 6 at 0113,
Brazuguese yelling; 0143 still excited, mentions R. Clube do Pará in passing;
``goooooal`` so sounds like a futebol game, but a bit late for that? Also some
music, so presumably not a real live game. S8 level fluxuating. John Cooper, PA,
says same station signed off the night before at 0400. Still one must be alert
for the other ZY on 4885, R. Dif Acreana, which as of the WRTH 2015 was shown
closing at 0400 with Pará 24 hours, but not any more (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 7375, UT Sunday Sept 6 at 0120,
The Mighty KBC is back on its Sept-May frequency, ex-9925, via GERMANY; only S8
and hardly a bigsig, but at least it`s propagating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 9690- // 7255-, Sept 6 at 0601 check, VON
is on both tonight with the Hausa hour; 9690 better (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6925.15-AM, Sept 6 at 0106, S6
carrier, but hardly any modulation audible; presumed Liquid Radio (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-USB, Sept 6 at 0104,
pirate music at S9+25, good; 0111 ID as Wolverine Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Time on this one was 1159 UT, not 1259;
corrected:
780, Sept 5 at 1159 UT, open carrier until KSPI Stillwater
sign-on, doesn`t mention power is only 250 watts; still with some LAH from
XE-land. So this daytimer signs on at 7 am local at least on Saturday; official
Stillwater Sept sunrise is { } --- to be filled in once the FCC site be back in
business Sept 8, as other AM/FM logs until then also may be subject to
modification (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Sept
6 at 0103, again no signal from R. Chaski. Could be timer reset closer to 0100*
but recently not heard long before 0100 either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA. 11905, Sept 6 at *0114:12.5 carrier on, 0114:46.5
musical prélude starts, 0115:19.5 mis-timesignal ends like mis-clockwork, SLBC
signing on. Very poor signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U
S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1789 monitoring. Starting at 2330 UT Saturday Sept 5,
monitored the Challenger Radio, Italy frequencies from UTwente SDR, Netherlands:
switching around 1566, 1368, 846, and 567 kHz, no sign of WOR for the next
dekaminute, but some occasional Italian. Perhaps the 11-minute version will
appear again Sunday at 2104 on at least some of them.
WOR 1789 via
WA0RCR, 1860-AM, started at 0319:36 UT Sunday Sept 6, Vern with his own opening
replacing most of the too-musical WOR theme. Next on SW:
Sun 2300 WRMI

Mon 0300v WBCQ 5110v Area 51 to WSW [lately John Lightning has
been running way over; but this week he`s off, Jean Shepherd leadinstead]

** U S A. 5850, Sept 6 as I am dozing
off around 0555, TruNews via WRMI is talking about major expansion of this
apocalyptic ministry, such as satellite radio, hourly ``news``casts for
Christian stations, own FM station on 105.3 in Vero Beach (Rick doesn`t
acknowledge it`s only a 100-watt, WVRO-LP). TruNews is just as wacky as Brother
Scare but superficially sounds more reasonable, less off-putting (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 760, Sept 5 at 1926 UT, 6 kW KCCV
Overland Park KS, usual daytime groundwave occupant of this frequency, also has
a SAH from an understation at the rate of 216 beats per minute = 3.6 Hz; on the
NRD-545 and the ALA-330S magnetic loop antenna favoring east-west. KCCV`s
pattern is a figure-8 with one lobe toward Enid. The nearest other 760 is 10 kW
KMTL Sherwood, mid-Arkansas, but ground conductivity is poor over that path. WJR
Detroit remnant skywave? Other 760s, 50 kW each in Denver and San Antonio, both
supposedly have nulls toward us. See also 1210 unID log. The extensive MW
Offsets list
again
proves no help, as KCCV is not included; WJR was 3.7 Hz low in 2014; KKZN CO,
3.0 Hz low in 2013. Neither DXLD nor Hauser are in the long list of
credits/sources (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED.
1210, Sept 5 at 1922 UT, KGYN Guymon OK is always audible at the edge of its
daytime groundwave, but on the ALA-330S and NRD-545 I am also getting an
understation making a SAH of 2.4 Hz, and traces of otheraudio; also the SAH
level fades up and down a bit. There are no other 1210s anywhere near here, so
less than an hour after local mean noon at 1832 UT (and it`s still summer with
relatively high sun), is this some residual skywave, or groundwave? The nearest
1210s are in WY, SD, IL, TN, LA. Only 10 kW KHAT Laramie WY and 10 kW WLRO
Denham Springs LA are ND. I`d lean toward Laramie; 650 KGAB WY has made it here
in the daytime. FWIW, MW Offsets list showed KGYN 0.6 Hz high in 2007y, while
KHAT was 2 Hz hi in the same year; see also unID 760 log (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK,
