** ALBANIA. 9855-, Oct 25 at 0128 and 0134, no signal detectable from R.
Tirana, turned off as it might as well be? Turkey, Egypt and Greece are not very
strong on 31m, so maybe just too QRP by comparison? But the other Albanian,
Cërrik with CRI English on 9570 at 0147 check is S9+20! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** ARGENTINA. 11710.45, UT Tue Oct 25 at 0108, RAE ATTW is back on after a
silent weekend, now in Chinese at S7, bits of music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Oct 25 at 0100, JBA carrier from R.
Chaski, until autocutoff at 0102:39.5*, which is 73 seconds later than last
catch October 14 until 0101:26.5*, or averaging 6.4 seconds later each day,
right on ``schedule``. So far in HFCC B-16 I don`t see any competitor for 5980
at this hour, unlike B-15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
TURKEY. 9770, S7, and weaker 9870 with AIR CCI, Oct 25 at 0114, VOT Spanish is
back in business after AWOL Oct 23 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 11580, Monday
Oct 24 at 2019, WRMI with music, during a blank grid on the program sked,
formerly World Music, but now it seems to be anything but eclectic, rather
praise songs in English including at 2033, a jazzed-up `Joy to the World`, a
bimonth before Xmas Eve. God help us! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 5050, Oct 25 at 0104, WWRB is on again this Monday
night, slow-speaking gospel huxter referencing something important, Romans X:
14-17, S9+45 but accompanied by frying buzz sound, fault of the programmer or SW
provider? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11870, Oct 25
at 0106, WEWN is still 33% silent, nothing here in Spanish, but still blasting
on 5810, and English poor S5 on 11520 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** VATICAN. 9515, Oct 25 at 0112, S Asian language and song, i.e.
Vatican in Tamil, as I have heard before, now S4-S6. Rechecking now following an
item in the latest NASWA Flashsheet putting this on 9680, which I think must be
a mistake. I do hear a JBA carrier there, which Aoki shows would be CNR1 jamming
and/or RFA Tibetan via Kuwait this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1521 kHz, Oct 25 at 0126 UT, in a TA JBA MW carrier
bandscan I do detect one here, very weak against KOLM & KOKC 1520. By 0130
with extremely narrow bandwidth on the NRD-545, I think I am squeezing some
audio thru, possibly Qur`an? So is the Saudi 2-megawatter at Duba back in
business; or could it be CRI Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, reported testing last week
after an absence, scheduled 00-02 in Russian? Aoki says 100 kW, WRTH says 500
kW, but it`s big in Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, October 25 at
0119-0125, looping roughly NE except 783-East as in Mauritania: 612, 774, 783,
837, 1017, 1053, 1152, 1215 --- and see separate 1521 entry. On the handheld
DX-398, I also have one on 1125, but suspiciously + and it vanishes when I turn
off the NRD-545 nearby. That also emits its own birdie carriers on a few other
frequencies; beware (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED.
3840-LSB, Oct 25 at 0143, raucous laughter and yelling, talkovers, a dependable
ham frequency for such nonsense, along with 3843-LSB, not at the moment (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
