Glenn Hauser logs August 6-7-8, 2017

** ARMENIA. 9975, August 6 at 2150 check, not even a JBA carrier detectable from the surprise 60th anniversary broadcast of Radio Luxembourg which was widely heard in Europe. EiBi shows scheduled only this date between 18 and 22. I am aware of no advance publicity for this in the DX press, tsk2. Huge splash here from bigsig 9980 WWCR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 13920, August 6 at 2346, very poor S1-S2 signal seems Chinese, i.e. CNR1 jammer against Sound of Hope, which Aoki shows on 13920 any/all the time from 2213 to 1420 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, August 6 at 2330, JJJBBBA carrier, from R. Chaski. Best audible if tuned to 5979.65-USB. I stay on it amid the summer storm noise level until autocutoff at 2341:08.5* give or take. So they`ve let it slip more than 11 minutes past the nominal closing. Last timing here was July 20 until 2339:15*, which is 113.5 seconds over a 17-day period, or averaging 6.68 seconds per! Right on ``schedule`` within a few hundredths of a second. As usual I don`t compute this until afterwards, so am not aware of exactly when the carrier is going to drop. I love this precision in such an unintentional display from an otherwise boring gospel huxter station (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOMALILAND. 7120, August 1335, JBA carrier, presumably R. Hargeisa by longpath during English segment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1710, Aug 7 at 0539 UT, JBA carrier even with R75 preamps off; perhaps pirate as reported sometimes, or TIS. I usually start/end MW bandscans here with nothing heard. There are also Australian and Argentine broadcasters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
