** AUSTRALIA. 9580, Oct 8 around 1200, even RA is severely attenuated after G3
storms and K index up to 6, now 5. Recovered sufficiently by 1308 when
`Conversations with Richard Fidler` is again with a psychiatrist, same one as
yesterday? No, per website that was Patrick McGorry, while today it`s Sandy
McFarlane. (Tho both dated one day ahead).
While I`m at the RA program
sked, let`s see what`s running now in the 14-15 UT hour:
Thu, The Body
Sphere; Baby Talk
Fri, Unearthed (JJJ music until 17)
Sat, Saturday Night
Country (hour 3)
Sun, Sunday Night (hour 3)
Mon, ABC Editors Choice; The
Main Ingredient (food)
Tue, Who Are You; Brunch with Simon Marnie
Wed, My
Soundtrack with Lucy Durack

COLOMBIA. 5910, Oct 8 at 0549, this HJDH is absent again, but the other HJDH on
6010 is still audible fairly. With a K-index of 6, TWR Austria is not making it
either on 5910 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN
[non]. 11600, Oct 8 at 1405, Denge Kurdistane all-talk now, usual strong and
fluttery signal via PRIDNESTROVYE. It`s really amazing how well this reaches OK,
slightly off the SE Turkey target area, unlike any other 25mb signal from E
Europe or ME; is it longpath? Again the YL speaker with a French??? accent, and
occasional borrowed(?) words such as ``democracie``. This time I keep listening
closely for site swap to BULGARIA, and I`ve got it! At 1415 a slight echo
starts, and a few seconds later the first signal goes off leaving a somewhat
weaker one. Quite smooth and well-coördinated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** MEXICO. 550, Oct 8 at 1202, kid choral NA, full ID for XEPL,
``La Super Estación`` 24h on AM and FM from Ciudad Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua; 1203
into edition #41 of `Mundo del Trabajo` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 620, Oct 8 at 1202, ``La Norteñita`` ID from XEBU
Chihuahua2 plus FM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO.
870, Oct 8 at 1214, a bit of local version of ``Mañanitas`` faded completely out
for YL announcer to give generic birthday wishes without specific names,
efemérides info, XETAR, La Voz de la Sierra Tarahumara ID from Chihuahua, then
brings more ``Mañanitas`` song back up (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1210, Oct 8 at 1231 UT, KGYN Guymon, but with Kansas
news from Mid-America network which owns it, then ad for something in Amarillo
TX, nothing about OK. Meanwhile, between these there is a brief break in
transmission and signal weakens a bit, which is not what one would expect if
going from direxional-west night, to ND day. Anyhow, official FCC Oct sunrise is
not until 1245 UT (Nov: 1330 UT) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1794 monitoring: confirmed first SW
airing Thursday Oct 8 before 1200 on WRMI 9955, but very poor signal with

site, Habana, with VG signals on 9850, 9825, 9805-jam, 9640, 9570-CRI, 9550,
9530-mix? Australia 9580 also attenuated.] Next:

** U S A. 9330, Oct 8 at 0130, no signal
audible from WBCQ. AWWW had publicized a couple new shows at 01-02 UT Thursdays,
starting tonight, just when I`m busy recording the next World of Radio. I was
more interested in the first one by title, `Broad Spectrum Radio`, than the 0130
one, `Mennonite Radio` from ``James in Oklahoma``, but if on, no propagation
anyway. WWV says yesterday`s solar flux was only 81, almost as low as it ever
gets; K index at 00 today was 6, and at 03 it would be 5; ``Geomagnetic storms
reaching the G3 level occurred.`` If anyone heard B.S.R., please send us a
review! These don`t yet appear on
At
the same hour on 7490, the notorious Hal Turner was to revive, unchecked. He is
now on the corresponding 7490 sked for two hours, annotated `` After harshly
criticizing his supporters, listeners, and WBCQ, Mr. Turner left the airwaves on
March 22, 2004`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A.
K-index of 6 at 03 and 06 UT Oct 8 and geomag storms reaching the G3 level mean
that the Tennesseans were very poor to just barely audible instead of inbooming,
Oct 8 at 0548-0549 chex: 5935, 5890 (only residual Cuban jamming audible), 5830,
5085, 4840; only 3215 and 3185 remain at good levels. With its southern
advantage, WRMI is still VG on 5850, as are the Cubans on 5040, 5025 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 780, Oct 8 at 1210 UT, promo
for Norfolk Community Theatre, local news from WJAG, i.e. Norfolk NE, 1 kW ND
daytimer, but before 1245 UT in Oct, must be only on 500 W PSRA; yes, one of
those few legacy W-calls west of the Miss. Nearby KSPI OK is nulled, and at this
time no WBBM, after axual Chicago sunrise today at 1155 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 910, Oct 8 at 1220 UT, dominant good signal
is LONG adstring starting with Smiles Forever Dental Center, next to the Roswell
Mall, so I know right away what I`ve got despite mostly national ads/PSAs to
follow: Rite-Aid, GEICO, Grasshopper, United Way, Home Depot, NY Pork Chops,
Home Depot again, Dishnet. By now it`s 1225 UT as a morning show finally
resumes. It`s KKBE Roswell NM, an ID never heard, ex-KBIM since April 21, 2015.
Likely on 5 kW ND day pattern already, since 500 W night pattern goes south, tho
official Oct sunrise is not until 1300 UT! (Nov: 1330 UT).(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1180, Oct 8 at 1230 UT, about traffic in
Sioux City, but then The Zone ID for Omaha, i.e. KZOT Bellevue NE (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1510, Oct 8 at 1236 UT, mentions
weather for Phœnix, then baseball discussion. Double-take, surely not KFNN Mesa
yet, biz format, but rather KCTE Independence MO, on ESPN network, with heavy
CCI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 750, Oct 8 at
1208 UT, music and ``750-AM . . . Grupo Fórmula`` ID, from ~SW, separable from
northerly KMMJ, NE. Trouble is, no ORF affils listed on 750 in IRCA Mexican Log,
nor Cantú.
Finding any affiliates at
is frustrating. Could it be a US station? KAMA El Paso would fit except it`s
with Univisión América (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1080, Oct 8 at 1227 UT, with KRLD nulled as much as
possible, another station making a fast SAH with it, ``KDY? 105`` ID. I`m pretty
sure of the FM number, which could refer to a 104.9 or even lower. The only two
likelies to the west of here, which I have heard before, are KGVY Green Valley
AZ, and KSLL Price UT, but I can`t find any connexion with a ``105`` FM for
either. There is a 104.9 translator in Price, but allegedly for something else
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1510, Oct 8 at 0558
UT, `Dave Ramsey Show` on signal that sounds like WLAC Nashville, except they
normally carry `C2CAM` at this hour. WLAC sked shows DR at 5-8 pm CT. DR Show
website station finder is most unhelpful, requiring one to enter a location or
zip code, and then displays affils in or near the area, but one must go to each
station`s website to find out the time! Only other DR in the NRC AM Log 2015 for
1510 is daytimer KAGC in Bryan TX, which claims DR is on there at 3-5 & 7-9
pm CT. I thought it was end of a DR program hour, but maybe it was just a promo
on WLAC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4790-, Oct
8 at 1247, JBA carrier yet again amid CODAR. Is it BBC Uzbek via Tajikistan
warming up already for its 1300 broadcast? Thomas Nilsson in Sweden hears that
well and sent a clip of the closing by 1330 yesterday including the BaBcoCk
theme music. Then I hear from him today:
``Hello Glenn, Set my Perseus
for recording today. Enclosed you will find a pdf showing two signals from 1240
UT about 1.5 Hz apart. The stronger one is BBC WS. I can't tell what the other
signal is, maybe a spurious signal from BBC WS as it is far too early for
Indonesia here at this time of the year. The exact frequency is 4789.99 taking
the misalignment into account. So I think people over there must check for a
possible Indonesia. Regards, Thomas`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
