Glenn Hauser logs September 13-14, 2017

** CUBA. 11760, Sept 13 at 1300, RHC QSY announcement, 6100 closing and 15370 until 1500: but at 1301, 6100 is still running along with 6060 but not 6000; no 15370 yet but 15230 is on; finally at 1303, 15370 on with OC and 6100 off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, Sept 13 at 2332, JBA carrier from R. Chaski until autocutoff at 2334:04.5*, which is 53.5 seconds later than last catch 8 nights ago, Sept 5 until 2333:11*, averaging 6.69 seconds later per, slippage right on ``schedule`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 15430, Sept 13 at 1408, fair signal with flutter, DW ID in passing, SW Asian language. HFCC shows Pashto, 125 kW, 335 degrees via Trincomalee. Not much else is propagating from outside NAm on 19m, nor did I have enough signal from 15505 Bangladesh to detect its mis-timesignal circa 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TIBET [non]. 15528, Sept 13 at 1340, JBA carrier, presumed Voice of Tibet via TAJIKISTAN on characteristic split (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9395, Sept 13 at 0557, WRMI still on only here with Oldies at S6-S5. In a FB reply, Jeff said only 100 watts on exciter.

9395, Sept 13 at 1305, music, 1307 familiar ad, but 1309 music and still music at 1334 so not `The Power Hour`. WRMI still doesn`t have internet restored which is how much programming arrives. Satellite dishes might also be askew. At 1410, again music not // VP 13845 WWCR with `TPH`.

9455, Sept 13 at 2331, WRMI restored on this frequency, sounds like full power at S9+20 with music, Oldies? Not // 9395 music which is still very weak at S4. At 0015 Sept 14, now // with Oldies.

9955, Sept 13 at 2337, WRMI also restored here with Radio Libertad at full strength S9+10 about equal to the jamming; by 0015 Sept 14 recheck, now S9+20 and jamming is off in deference to inconsequential gospel huxter in Spanish. At neither time are any other frequencies back yet, on 5, 7, or 11 MHz bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Latest WRMI FB posts in reverse order:

``2330 UTC Wednesday, September 13, 2017 - 9955 kHz is now on the air with full power! It will transmit 24 hours per day with regular programming.

And yes, our engineers are working very hard here, almost around the clock, to get things back on the air. A big pat on the back to Pat Travers, our facility manager; Don Frish, our senior transmitter engineer; and other staff members Russell Zigler, Denny Williams, Javier Garcia and Thais White

2040 UTC Wednesday, September 13, 2017 - Our frequency of 9455 kHz has just gone on the air. It will carry regular programming 24 hours a day. 9395 kHz is already on with low power.

1600 UTC Wednesday, September 13 - Our electricity has just returned here at WRMI Okeechobee. Our engineers are in the antenna field repairing damage to the transmission lines, and we hope to have one or two frequencies back on the air by the end of today, in addition to our low-power broadcast on 9395 kHz`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1895 monitoring: Wed Sept 13 at 2119, WBCQ 7490.04v-AM is still playing last week`s 1894. JBA signal so I have to strain to hear it for 5 minutes before recognizing Romania, Sikkim items from last week.

** U S A. 1030, Sept 13 at 0606 UT, `Red Eye Radio` opening hour, plugging flagship WBAP. Only 1030 RER affil listed in new NRC AM Log is: KFAY, Farmington AR, address in FAYetteville, 6/1 kW U4. Not far, but not often heard here, especially in nightmiddle. Night pattern is circle tangent SW, away from Boston, so we are very much on the edge of it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
