** AUSTRALIA. 9580, July 28 at 1245, RA during ABC TV news soundtrack relay is
back in whack after distorted modulation 24 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6165, July 28 at 0544, RHC English is just
barely modulated during `Chariots of Fire` theme, while 6100 is OFF, 6060 is OK,
and 6000 is very undermodulated but more so than 6165. Most RHC transmitters are
now either over- or under-modulated. Can`t they even them out?
13740,
July 28 at 2102 I happen to hit this RHC frequency as the tarde frequency
announcement is starting, with 17730! Then 13740, 11760 y 11840, 9535 y 9710,
5040, in typical Soviet-style disorder. But the clueless canned-ID announcer
missed a big`un, 15370 confirmed also on, instead of 17730, which may have been
on an early never-implemented version of the A-16 schedule, or just a mistake.
They also never mention 11830 & 11850, the perpetual weak spurs attached to
11840, and which I just reconfirmed by actual monitoring.
Further,
continues to add the three FM frequencies, 102.5, 91.7 and 103.1. The website
sked http://www.radiohc.cu/interesantes/frecuencias
has
now been changed to show for Isla de Juventud, 91.7 instead of 97.1, which it
had for months; my questioning that contradixion must finally have reached them

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5965, July
28 at 1300, the Sea Breeze YL voice with piano music is opening the
Thursday-only English hour; very poor about S4 vs storm noise crashes up to S9,
but is beginning to become audible with latening sunrises, still a sesquihour
earlier here today at 1135 UT; via JSR, JAPAN, changed a few days ago from 5935

** SPAIN. 15500, July 28 at 2105,
REE is S6 to Mideast, good in news of US politix, off the back from Noblejas,
while there is no signal on 17855 for North America; nor can I hear anything on
others listed, 17715 or 15390. Is 15500 really the only one on the air, or just
a low MUF? Nothing else from Europe on 16m to compare it with. EiBi shows 21620
instead of 15390 for 18-22, while I and Aoki think that`s only for the extended
weekend broadcasts at 14-18 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U
S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1836 monitoring: confirmed Thursday July 28 at 2100 on WRMI,

** U S A. 5085, July 28 at 0542, WTWW-2 is off again, no
`Midnight [sic] in the Desert`, despite having revived 24 hours earlier with
rock music, but apparently crashed again during the following 9930 afternoon
broadcast.
12105, July 28 at 0554, JBA carrier, only likely source of
which is WTWW-3, on way beyond schedule; while 5830 WTWW-1 is abnormally weak at
S7-S9, due to propagation disturbance also attenuating Nashville neighbors WWCR
on 5935 and 5890. With its southern advantage, 5850 WRMI is
unscathed.
12105, July 28 at 1800, WTWW-3 is on with mumbo-jumbo in
Biblical English, about circumcision: hard to tell whether pro- or con, but
since Jewish ``cockroaches`` are for it, presumably WTWW is against it. At 2107
check it`s S9+25 Bibling in French.
9930, July 28 at 1801 and still 1838
recheck, WTWW-2 is still gone again, while 9475 WTWW-1 is nominal (Glenn Hauser,

UNIDENTIFIED. 9440, July 28 at 1306, strong open
carrier, then cuts to relatively weak signal, maybe open? Based on Aoki listings
seem to be:
First, IBB Tinang, Philippines, pre-test for 14-15 Chinese
broadcast, then uncovering only thing sked this hour, CRI in Esperanto via
Nanning (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 12040, July
28 at 2108, JBA carrier. Aoki shows only KSDA GUAM in Chinese during this hour
