** ARGENTINA. 11710.60, Sat Oct 22 at 0024, RAE ATTW Spanish at S6-S8, yet tough
copy. I suppose we still won`t have any broadcasts on UT Sunday or Monday, but
check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 7850-CUSB &
3330-CUSB, Oct 21 at 0544, CHU is back in business, not only reduced carriers,
but time signal modulation on the upper sideband only. CHU notified Richard
Langley, NB that the problem had been fixed by 2138 UT Oct 20. I first noticed
it silent at 0548 UT Oct 19, so it lasted for approximately two days! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 9955, Oct 20 at 2058,
wall-of-noise jamming is already running against WRMI, but not quite enough yet
to prevent me from detecting at 2100 an ID for Radio Libertad --- so this
prepeat at 21-22 of the original 23-24 UT M-F broadcasts is no longer secret
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR. 17640, Oct 20 at
1801 check, no signal from MWV. This English broadcast has been so strong and
reliable when on, that I am quite sure it must be AWOL when not heard at all
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 930, Oct 21 at 1236
UT, WKY OKC transmission has finally stopped hiccuping, interrupting Spanish
chat every 1.36 seconds (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S
A. WORLD OF RADIO 1848 monitoring: confirmed second SW broadcast Thursday
October 20 at 2130 on WRMI, 13695, excellent. Also confirmed Oct 20 at 2330 on
WBCQ, 9330.069v-CUSB. 24 hours later, Friday Oct 21 at 2335, on the R75 with
household noises on, can`t hear it; on porch with PL-880 and eaveswire, now a
JBA carrier; by 2355 on the NRD-545 with ALA-330S, I can finally confirm WBCQ is
on with WOR, but very poor signal. Next:

** U S A. 7490, Oct 22 at
0003, WBCQ, `Allan Weiner Worldwide`, TimTron as studio guest, some notes: Also
on 5130 but ``nifty 3250`` has broken down again as they check the unit, no HV.
TT says he has put in a new exciter for 5130, screen modulated xtal oscillator
with tremendous fidelity. Asking for reports on both. Here, 5130.035-AM is too
poor but can tell it`s running 45 seconds behind 7490, and the xtal change is
obvious since for some weeks it had been circa 5129.85v, always on the low side.
They say that all WBCQ transmitters are crystal-controlled (which explains why
they are rarely on exact frequencies).
Allan works in e-mails and
replies among the conversation. At 0028 he switches computers so that 5130
becomes synchronized with 7490, because he needs one of them to play back a
recording of RNI when it was first on WWCR circa 1990y, that someone sent him.
Features voices of programmers of that era including Randi Steele.
Around 0052, reads a letter from Dead Frog Radio, the guy who with help
on the outside, has been doing a show by that name from behind bars, Tuesdays 8
pm ET [UT Wednesdays 0000] on 7490. Says tho he is not violating prison rules,
the guards have been hassling him, ripped apart his radios, and advised him to
discontinue the program. Says he will endure the harassment. They are afraid of
his comedy show, even tho he has avoided making specific charges on air against
the prison.
Coming in November, some Scott Becker produxions return:
Captain Ganja and Julie`s Wild Kingdom, no details yet.
Allan has
prompted Robert to e-mail new programming info. Hal Turner is back, in his old
timeslot, Wed 9-11 pm ET [UT Thu 01-03] on 7490; started this week altho he
wanted to wait until 0230 after the presidential debate.
Joshua, of
Station YHWH, occupied the Hal Turner slot while he was away, not only the
publicized week, but repeated the following Wednesday. Now from his bus in the
California desert he has sent another $25 so a new episode of YHWH can be aired,
but it will have to be at some other time due to reTurner.
Another Tom
Cole Theatre is coming for Hallowe`en, no details yet.
Charlie Prince
show, in German will start in November, on the first Saturday of each month at 9
pm ET on 9330, apparently expecting an audience back in Europe. [So that would
be 01 UT Sunday Nov 6, but from Nov 13 after our DST ends, at 02 UT Sundays]

** U S A. 9275, Oct 20 at 1802
check, no signal from WMLK, which had been nominally 16-21 UT except
Sabbathdays, then only until -20*, and now? Well, on Oct 17, Ivo Ivanov had it
from 1600 until off at 1803* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U
S A. 9980, Oct 20 at 2101, WWCR is S9+20 of open carrier, dead air except for
some hum; 2106.5 modulation finally starts with PSA for CDC, soap ad, class
action against IVC(?) filters; 2109 `Bill Martínez Live`, one of the divergent
hours from Brother HyStairical who owns most of the airtime on this WWCR-4
frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5072 &
5085 & 5098, Oct 20 at 0546 check, WTWW-3 is missing from its parasites and
its fundamental too, unlike 23-25 hours earlier; you never know with this one
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** UZBEKISTAN. 9390, Oct 21 at
0005, JBA carrier with some Doppler flutter, I had not noticed before, aside
9395 WRMI. Aoki shows it`s IBRA Media in Bengali, 100 kW, 131 degrees from
Tashkent at 0000-0030 only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

UNIDENTIFIED. 4920, Oct 21 at 0018, music at S6;
quick scan of 60m also finds a JBA carrier on 4800. Unfortunately, both of them
