ALAN ROE`S HITLIST OF SW STATION WEBSITES
http://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm

** ASCENSION. 11810, August 3 at 2150, BBCWS with American-accented YL on stockpiling food for survival, S6-S3, AND with that tell-tale hum infesting at least one but not all of the ASC transmitters, as always heard at 05-07 on 6005 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, August 4 at 1132, NBC at S9-S6 with island music, 1151 talk in presumed Pisin. Only hear one station but RRI may be underneath; with BFO there seem to be two carriers slightly offset, so can anyone compare them to the Hz? Or one carrier is wavering. Still on at 1205 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11855, August 3 at 2152, song seems Portuguese, S5-S2, no doubt R. Aparecida which at the moment is quite close to nominal frequency, and almost to itself, the only other 11855 per Aoki being CRI Chinese via Albania at 07-09. And now the only other detectable ZY on 25m is a JBA carrier on 11934.9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** CANADA. 15034-USB, August 3 at 2144, Trenton Military VOLMET admits ``no report received`` from Gander, Greenwood, Shearwater; ID with correct timecheck as 2145z, on to successful terminal forecasts from Bagotville, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5025, August 4 at 0625, R. Rebelde in dead air, or just-barely-modulated. Ho hum, as so often. By recheck around 1200, modulation is OK, abutting 5020 Solomons (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CZECHIA [non]. 9455 // much better 9955, August 4 at 1208, R. Prague via WRMIs, about an expedition to an Oregon mountaintop for the Eclipse (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 890, Friday August 4 at 1600 UT, KTLR OKC with `Broad Spectrum Radio`, new episode as publicized by James Branum, about the centennial of Oklahoma`s Green Corn Rebellion, but seemingly cut off early before 1612, KTLR to a PSA and studio announcer opening own call-in program a bit early. ``Bad news --- due to a problem on the station's end, this broadcast cut off at the 11 minute mark. Good news - the show will air next Friday at the same time in its entirety.
James with Broad Spectrum Radio``

James also hopes this will be ``next week on several shortwave stations``, no details yet. About episode and audio:

(Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1530, August 4 at 1203 UT, `La Que Buena`` also mentioning Oaxaca almost sounding like an ID, but probably a musical group; from KXTD Wagoner OK (Tulsa market), 5 kW daytimer (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3260, August 4 at 1141 always weaker than 3325, but bit of Pisin? talk audible, NBC Madang (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, August 4 at 1153 music, 1154 talk, from SIBC; off by 1205 recheck. BTW, other frequency 9545 is active again:

Bryan Clark, NZ told me August 1: ``You could pass on that I heard SIBC reactivated on 9545 today around 0300 UT. Had them as UNID yesterday and signal not as punchy as in the past.`` And August 3: ``Updating Solomon Islands - have been hearing them consistently since 1 August during our daytime but yet to confirm sign-on and sign-off times (I anticipate 2200-0500 UT)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 17855, August 3 at 2141, olé, REE North American transmitter is back on the air after missing about a week --- not with stupid ballgame now, but a rock song in English, outro by SS YL DJ with title ``Hotel Room``? And showname evidently `Noches de Verano`, 2143 live time check for 11:43. Good signal. 

Employing the Hitlist, http://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm
We find the program grid 
http://www.rtve.es/radio/radio-exterior/programacion/
showing instead L-V 23-24 CEST is `Un Idioma Sin Fronteras`, right --- English!

Click on link to that program, 
http://www.rtve.es/alacarta/audios/un-idioma-sin-fronteras/
which is presented by Susana Santaolalla but is ``fuera de emisión``, 
we get a huge roster of the ``last 1,962`` audio files, but only until  August of 2014!

Going to the alfabetical list of program titles for Noches de Verano, 
http://www.rtve.es/radio/programas/radio-exterior/
there aren`t any starting with N! So maybe that was just her remark. Doy arriba [pseudo-español] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9455, August 4 at 1354, Oldies back on WRMI --- no, it was just a music break, back to `The Power Hour`, better than // 9395, much better than presumed // 7780 JBA, but by now 13845 WWCR is good with some sporadic E boost (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** U S A. 9265, August 3 at 2157, WINB with gospel huxter address, and the carrier is *really* wobbling now. One wonders how much longer the old transmitter will survive. This useful historical roster, but not up to date? 
http://www.swcountry.be/usa.html
shows only WINB transmitter is a 50 kW Continental 417B from 1962 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 3271-USB, August 3 at 1145, 2-way in language, maybe Burmese? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13563, August 3 at 2148, JBA CW beeps at steady rate of 72/minute, perhaps a HIFER rather than with IDs. Going by the LWCA roster, maybe it`s
``13563~ KC7MMI Mesa AZ DM43ck CW reported 2016/09``
