** BRAZIL. 11972 & 11876 approx., July 31 at 0556, weak but detectable
scratchy spurblobs // 11780 RNA. That makes +96 and +192 (2 x 96) kHz above. So
check for more like that below: yes, approx. 11684 and 11588 kHz. The ones
further out are even weaker. Meanwhile, RNA`s other intentional frequency 6180
is still off at 0144 August 1 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 9680, Sunday July 31 at 1329, S4-S8, sounds like
gospel music? I almost thought I had Voice of Hope - Africa, Zambia, via long
path until Chinese talk started at 1330. So still the China/Taiwan Radio War
blocking until 1400, while VOHA continues to 1700 on weekends only. At 1357 the
Chinese is // 11785 CNR1; 1400 timesignal and one station goes off, by 1401 some
talk at S5-S7; by 1412 JBA carrier, maybe Zambia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** EAST TURKISTAN. 13599.98, August 1 at 0158, soft instrumental
music, VP S2, could be something more interesting than 0200 CRI theme and
opening unknown language: Tamil via Kashi per Aoki, while preceded until 0157 by
Russian via Xi`an (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO.
710-, August 1 at 0213, audible het on low side against KCMO also looping NE/SW,
presumably XEDP, Ciudad Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, employing its off-frequency
transmitter/site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MOROCCO.
9575, July 31 at 0605, S6 signal just barely modulated, presumably Radio Médi 1,
active but more insufficient than usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 7245-AM, July 31 at 1255, music fair at USB, but
QRhaM on LSB. Must be RNZI on its new frequency, ex-9700 which was vacant at
1255 for this bi-hour segment toward PNG. IIRC, 7245 was previously used several
years ago. By next check 1258* it`s off, and by *1259, next channel, unchanged
6170 is on with Bell Bird IS. It starts off at S9+10 with 1300 RNZ news, but we
know it will be steadily fading down and out after sunrise here. As I had posted
to the DXLD yg:
Notably
new is 7245, replacing 9700 when it used to serve North America well until 1058.
Only the `PNG` target is on the NNW instead of NNE antenna

15720, August 1 at 0202, that
deep-voiced Caribbean newscaster of BBCWS which must be relayed by RNZI now;
0204 mid-cast ID for `World News from the BBC`, and ending ID at 0206, on into
`Newsday`; S5 but quite readable, unlike any possible BBCWS SW frequency of its
own (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 780, August 1 at
0214 UT, KSPI Stillwater daytimer open carrier still on, and can hear WBBM only
by nulling it (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OMAN.
11650, August 1 at 0153, ME music, VP at S2, and suffering splatter from that
terrible transmitter of RHC on 11670; presumed R. Sultanate of Oman, and several
others have reported it around this time despite 11650 not being registered by
them for A-16 season, instead lots of imaginaries; but Aoki has it here at 22-02
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** UGANDA [non]. 15240, Sunday
July 31 at 1740 check, WWRB with Radio Munansi in Luganda(?) talking about Pres.
Muséveni, VG signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A.
WORLD OF RADIO 1836 monitoring: confirmed Sunday July 31 at 2330 on WBCQ
9329.981-CUSB. NOT confirmed an hour later, UT Monday August 1 after 0030 on
WRMI 7730, because it`s off the air (all other WRMI frequencies are on, as is
7730 by 0135 check with BS).
Also confirmed UT Monday August 1 from 0301
on Area 51 webcast, and at 0323 check on WBCQ 5129.9-AM, fair. (Could not detect
any signal around 3250 during Johnny Lightning at 0136). WOR also confirmed UT
Monday August 1 after 0330 on WRMI webcast, and at 0350 on 9955, good S9+20.

BTW, Unique Radio, NSW, low power on 3210 says it is back on the air,
so four WOR airings will be resumed on the schedule from next week, Fri-Sat-Sun
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7504.9v, August 1 at
0135, WRNO is on with non-Mawire preacher, drifting slowly upwards (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5050, UT Monday August 1 at
0226, WWRB is S9+40 but dead air until canned YL ID at 0229, and 0230 start
another YL gospel huxter from Memphis? TN, but cut off the air shortly;
restarted a playback by mistake? It`s consistently on the air also UT Tuesdays,
then off until UT Sundays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S
A. 810, August 1 at 0215 UT, romantic music in Spanish loops east-west, which
rules out México and makes it very likely New Mexico`s KSWV Santa Fe. Dominant
signal making fast SAH with something, CO or MO? Segués 0216 UT, 0220 UT with no
announcements at all, but the final tune cut short at 0221 UT to dead air, 0223
UT off the air. Or rather maybe cut from 5000 to 10 watts night power U1 per NRC
AM Log. FCC official July sunset was 0215 UT; August: 0200 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6205.07-AM, August 1 at 0228, JBA
carrier under S7 noise level, maybe music. Must be too weak for another spurblob
instead of missing RNA Brasil 6180; 6205 is a hangout for Europirates, sometimes
making it to eastern North America. No reports tonight on HF Underground, but
Coast FM has been heard recently as late as 0125, and on 6205.1:
