Glenn Hauser logs August 12-13, 2017


** CUBA. 11820, August 13 at 0058, JBA carrier which I think matches 11830, now a quite audible spur out of 11840 RHC Spanish. So 11820 would be a leapfrog mixing product of 11840 over its 11830 spur another 10 kHz lower (besides Saudi until 2257 on 11820+, only listee on 11820 in Aoki is CRI Cantonese via Xian until 0057). The JBA carrier on opposite 11860, however, could instead be Yemen [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 7435, August 13 at 0526-0528+, considerable jamming against no Radio Martí at this hour (while 7365 is VG with music and barely jammed); on 7435 joined by those CW tones at variety of pitches, sending either C -.-. or just half of it, N -. as if replying to each other. Or maybe two N`s with no pause. C and N could stand for Cuba, Números, hi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9925, August 13 at 0037, The Mighty KBC via Nauen, GERMANY, doing better this week than last, S8 to S9+10, but by 0130 Radiogram down to poor level of S6-S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6955-USB, Aug 13 at 0118, rock music at S9+10, but off when I recheck at 0120 after finding the 6935 one. Here`s only one other log of this 6955, also unID:

** NORTH AMERICA. 6935-USB, Aug 13 at 0109, rockmusic at S9+10 to 20, 0127 Wolverine Radio ID. Was not on at first bandscan circa 0045. But first reported at 0048 here followed by numerous logs leading to Last Supper SSTV image, with keyword ``last`` in song titles:

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9370 & 3185, August 13 at 0043, neither WWRBS is on; yet 9370 is active all day and 3185 all night, but evidently with considerable breaks between them rather than a quick switch (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 17855, August 13 at 1401, REE just on at S9 fading to S5, while // 17715 is S7 to S5, so now the former is noticeably stronger as it should be to NAm vis-à-vis SAm, antennas back in whack? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1890 monitoring: confirmed Sat Aug 12 at 2230 on WBCQ, 9331.40v-CUSB, fair. Also confirmed UT Sunday August 13 at 0327 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, poor in storm noise, at item about Germany 6160/3975, 12 minutes into, so started circa nominal 0315.

** U S A. 7490, Sat Aug 12 from 2100, WBCQ with 3-hour special about British pirates, from Atlantic Oldies 2NG, but barely audible on SW, so I listen from time to time on webcast. Tho British DJ host, he admits that originates in Atlanta studio. 

I continue to marvel at such a craving for getting American rock music into British radios a semi-century ago via pirate ships --- What`s the big deal? At that age, I should have been quite happy with much more thrilling classical music provided by the BBC, which even today is relatively endangered on American radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5130-, Aug 13 at 0042, no signal from WBCQ. John Carver also noted it absent when should have started at 2300 Saturday. Nothing on 3250 either; Allan has said that once 3250 is on the air, 5130 will be off since it`s one or the other to the available antenna (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, August 13 at 0038, WRMI unjammed with low strumming à la ME oud. Surely this is not the scheduled program at 0015-0045 UT Sundays, `Buscando la Verdad` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475-, Aug 13 at 0040, WTWW-1 is S9 to S9+10 but very undermodulated, with SFAW music, call-in from listener. Are they really doing any live programming? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, UT Sunday Aug 13 at 0102, WTWW-2 starting `Theater Organ in the Ozarx` while its airing 7 hours earlier on 9930 continues to be AWOL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6947, Aug 13 at 0044, open carrier, pirate? No, by 0533, bonker centered here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
