** CHINA [and non]. 9570, Oct 27 at 0357, romantic song at S5, Chinese
announcement, so it`s the tail of the CRI Albania relay. 0359 weakens but still
something, presumably CNR2 via Geermu 916 site which has been co-channel all
along (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ETHIOPIA [and non].
7135-7155, Oct 27 at 0319, wideband DRM noise jamming against VOBME, but cannot
detect its carrier anywhere around 7145. Narrower DRM noise jamming 7180-7190,
with JBA VOBME carrier detectable at 7185 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** MADAGASCAR. 9480, Oct 27 at 0401, still no-show from African
Pathways Radio on Madagascar World Voice. In case it manage to broadcast in
B-16, the English schedule per Ivo Ivanov changes to:

LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 21675, Oct 27 at 1428, `Unshackled` episode
#3472 is wrapping up on Radio Africa Network via WRMI, ID with box address in
Zimbabwe; good signal back here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 7505.09v, UT Thu Oct 27 at 0345, finally hear WRNO in
Chinese, but sounds a bit stilted, and signal now is VP only S3 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 570, Oct 27 at 0518 UT, ``American
Pie``, 0520 UT ``104.5 FM and AM 570, Las Cruces`` non-ID with no calls, right
back to another classic rock tune. Good signal mutually separable from KLIF.
Hard to believe KWML Las Cruces NM is on night power of 155 watts instead of day
5000 watts, both non-direxional. 104.5 despite top billing is a mere translator,
K283CG (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1190-, Oct 27 at
0546 UT, unfamiliar rock music, ``You are listening to Boulder and Denver`s
premiere independent radio station, 98.9 and 1190 AM in Boulder``, no calls, but
per NRC AM Log 2016 it`s student-operated KVCU, with an AOR/VAR format. 98.9
with top-billing is a mere translator, K255DA. Hard to believe 1190 is 110 watts
night power instead of 6800 day power, both non-direxional. Is slightly
off-frequency to low side; fades a bit vs some Spanish CCI, more likely Mexican
than United Statesian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Oct 27
UT:
576-NW at 1236
612-WSW at 1246
702-WSW, 2 carriers beating at 1237;
also 1245, maybe one more from W?
774-WSW at 1238
828-WSW at
1240
936-WSW at 1241

UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 1180, Oct 27 at 1256 UT, open
carrier/dead air making SAH of 160/minute = 2 and 2/3 Hz with sports talk, but
traffic report at 1259 UT, ID as ``1180 Zone 2 the Deuce``, i.e. KZOT Omaha NE.
OC/DA loops SW/NE so I think it`s KLPF Midland TX, which I recently confirmed
had completed its upgrade move from 1150, with Guadalupe Catholic network
programming in English. About to sign-on? No, still OC but fading at 1302 UT.
Both these are 25 kW day power, KLPF non-direxional, but KZOT is broadly
direxional southwest, nothing unusual here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
