** EAST TURKISTAN. 9800, Aug 28 at 2339, soft vocal music around S4, saccharine
spiritual sound could be in English from Christian station; 2351 segúe to
another song with rock beat, and 2358 to another with a steady MM of 120 per
minute. What could this be?
August 29 at 0000, right into CRI theme,
Chinese and Spanish IDs as Radio Internacinal de China! Also logged a biday ago
as unID, overlooking that it is in Aoki altho out of time order, as well as
HFCC: 2300-0100, 500 kW, 269 degrees from Kashgar to CIRAF 14. But why would CRI
Spanish waste time playing music like that with no announcements? (Glenn Hauser,

** NIGERIA. 7254.94, Aug 28 at 0558, VON open
carrier is on at S9+20, 0629 Hausa underway. By 0558 it should have been into
drumming IS. Nothing on 9690v; looks like I missed all the excitement about that
as others were reporting 9690 instead for a day or two morning and evening
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Aug 28 at 2328,
JBA carrier from presumed R. Chaski, as it`s about time to recheck their
slippery autocutoff. With BFO, hope I don`t have to listen 12+ minutes to this
vs noise level, as by now should have been reset much closer to nominal 2330*.
Around 2332 I hear a het descending, i.e. another slightly stronger carrier
closing in on Chaski. I don`t want to touch the dial to tell from which side.
Could be an ionosonde sweeping, or a NRDie. Once it zero-beats at 2332:12, I
hear nothing further, as if the Chaski carrier goes off at the same time. Very
strange coincidence. Calls for further Chaski-checking (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1892 monitoring: confirmed
Monday August 28 at 2335 the 2330 on WBCQ 9330.07v-CUSB, fair S8. Recheck at
2354 it`s more like 9330.05v. Also confirmed UT Tuesday August 29 at 0030 on
WRMI, 7730, S9+30. Wish this VG signal could be on a later day of week when
there`s a new show instead of final airing of last show. WOR 1893 should be
ready for first airings August 29, Tue at 2130 on WRMIs 9455 & 15770, 2330
on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A.
9955, Aug 28 at 1428, no signal, not even a JBA carrier from WRMIBS; all other
frequencies are at least detectable: 21525, 15770, 11825, 11580, 9455, 9395,
7780. 9955 not rechecked until 2338 when it is on and discernible in Radio
Libertad Spanish under wall-of-noise jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 17775, Monday Aug 28 at 1347, KVOH is S5, already on
early in Spanish with `Luis Palau Responde`, and La Voz de la Esperanza/SCG ID
by Dino Bloise. Maybe couldn`t wait to get started after a weekend off? Often
not on or not audible here until circa 1430 instead of nominal *1355 as still
shown on pdf program schedule grid. Webcast is always going, so if they turn on
SW beyond hours, there is always something to emit. However, Palau is not shown
at that time; maybe it was just a promo (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 1590, Aug 29 at 0003 UT, looking for something
Houstonic, instead ``KVGB and 97-7 FM``, a strangely worded illegal ID, from
Great Bend KS, disclaimer from Kansas City Royals, pending a silly ballgame? But
first, adstring. Your guessed it: 97.7 is a mere translator, but at least is not
given top billing, K249FA per new NRC AM Log.
Not much explicit info to
be found in mainstream media about which AM stations are doing good coverage or
knocked off the air by Harvey, but about radio and TV in general from Corpus to
Lake Charles Aug 26-28:

much more here:
Not
to diminish the seriousness of this catastrophe, since we are getting
wall-to-wall coverage on various TV networks. Yet local OKC TV stations want to
get in on the axion by sending their own teams into the flood. Please! We`ve got
enough to keep up with in our own area. And BTW, all-news networx: the rest of
the country and the rest of the world still exist (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
