** ALBANIA. 9854.97, July 28 at 0140 check, R. Tirana is back on tonight at
S7-S9, but program modulation is again way down below the humbuzz (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA. 11710.40, July 27 at 0022, RAE
with a tango at S2.
11710.540, July 28 at 0228, now RAE is up closer to its
usual spot, S7-S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA.
9580, July 27 at 1319, S9+30 R. Australia during `The Daily Planet` world music
ruined by very distorted, overmodulation, emulating R. Habana Cuba on numerous
frequencies such as 9710 right now; and still so past 1400 news. Other // RA
frequencies are OK, tho as always much weaker: 12065 S4-S6, 12085 S5-S8. Ron
Howard, CA, also noted the RA problem from 1230 as did Jerry Lenamon, TX as late
as 1500, wondering if no one is paying attention at Shepparton until the next
shift? Kai Ludwig reminds us that Shep is indeed unmanned overnight in
Australia.
17840, July 28 at 0151, RA is OK now, S9+10, presumably same
transmitter as was on 9580, unless they swapped to an alleged backup, at least
on same 70 degree antenna toward Oklahoma. Always weaker 15240 seems to sound
OK, and as usual the third frequency 15415 is JBA here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD
OF RADIO 1836, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 9330 approx., July 28 at
0116, S8 R. Cairo humbuzzy spur is around here tonight, audible between 9327 and
9345, same sound as on equally useless fundamental 9315 which is slightly
stronger at S9. Before 0100 it would have blasted Blalock on WBCQ; sorry I
missed hearing that confrontation! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTEING DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA. 11905, July 28 until 0115:18, mis-timesignal of SLBC is
JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12350.0-USB, July
27 at 1322, WCY, Lakeland FL, discussing tropical weather outlook for sailors
and contacting them, but unheard if on same frequency. Net starts at 1230. Used
to be in the clear, but now I constantly have a QRMing carrier about 12350.13,
and varying slightly --- maybe of local origin. Also has CODAR pulses to combat.
WCY is more readable if I tune toward 12350.10 to eliminate the audible het, yet
while making WCY`s voice slightly off-pitch (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1835 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday
July 27 at 1315.5 on WRMI 9955, good S9+10 with no jamming, following the gh
WRMI ID at 1315.0. Also confirmed on WBCQ webcast, Wednesday July 27 at 2100,
following four notes of music after the ID; and on 7490 at 2120 check but JBA.
Also confirmed Wed July 27 after 2330 on WBCQ, 9329.93-CUSB, fair.

** U S A. 11580, July 28 at 0233, WRMI playing a
song in German --- sounds like part of the World Music block again, despite
`Word of Deliverance` appearing on the schedule 7 days a week at 0200-0300.
That`s a relatively new show, and does not appear on the Programming info page,
but we can guess what it`s about; gone again already? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5085, July 27 at 0543 check, WTWW-2 is
finally back on the air, S9+30 after missing a few weeks from this and from day
frequency 9930. But rock music is playing rather than `Midnight [sic] in the
Desert` which had been scheduled at 05-08 UT Tue-Sat. Day frequency of WTWW-2,
9930 is also back now: July 27 at 1801, 6+ minute CCrane commercial by Ted, 1807
resuming the 3-hour Dave Ramsey Show; but at 1847 check the air is dead, and at
1927 the transmitter is off again.
12105, July 28 at 0113, WTWW-3 is
S5-S7 but dead air; still so at 0150 --- and 9475, WTWW-1 is also dead air but
doing so at S9+30. Upon the banks of the Upper Cumberland River, wake up! Or not
--- who really wants to listen to two Pastors Petes Peterses? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
