** CHINA. 11845, Sept 3 at 0018, JBA carrier between RHC 11840 and RHC spur 11850; what could it be? Aoki shows only CNR2, Xiangyang 594 site, 150 kW at 290 degrees, 0000-0900 (except Wednesday = day 4 siesta starting at 0600. I thought it was Tuesdays?) HFCC says 0000-1100 daily. Anyhow, Commies vs Commies! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9935, Sept 3 at 0011, Greek music at S9, but nothing on 9420, another anomaly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9925, UT Sunday Sept 3 at 0012, very poor JBA music at S4 vs storm crashes to S9, i.e. The Mighty KBC hardly propagating. See my previous logs comparing it to other Europeans, such as Romania on the same path as Nauen, GERMANY. Now 9730 in RRI English is S7 to S5, copiable with `Weekly Review`; 9570 CRI via Albania via a lower-latitude path is S9+30!
No publicity received so far, but from this week or next week, Mighty traditionally goes back down to 7 or 6 MHz band. At the beginning of A17 they were on 6040, but that had het from off-frequency Brazilian. In late April tried 6145, only to clash with Cuba which had already QSYed there for 0100 English, but carrier on earlier, so KBC briefly moved up an hour to 23-01. Will they do that again from Sept 10, as some listings anticipated? If they insist on using 6145, that timing would have to last at least till early November or whenever Arnie decides to move, maybe back to 6165.
HFCC has MBR NAUen registered for the entire A-17 season, specified NldEng obviously alluding to KBC: Sundays only, all 125 kW at 300 degrees: on both 6040 and 6145 at 0000-0300; 7270 at 00-01, 7325 at 01-02, 7425 at 02-03. Also for entire season 9925 at 00-03 AND 04-05. But they also keep registering long-defunct Croatian Radio! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. Heavy pirate activity presumably due to Labor Day Weekend. Too many going at once with too few IDs to keep track, so I still rely on HF Underground posts for help. At the risk of redundancy here, I`m putting my credit after each one, for those editors who sort them by frequency among others` logs:
6940-USB, Sept 2 at 2302 first check, music here at good level. Off at next check Sept 3 0009. Cool AM Relay per many reports here:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
6965-USB, Sept 3 at 0008, rock music at S7. Still on at 0024. At 0029, nothing and thought off, but pause before a song about Revolution, heavy beat. 0049 still on with music. 0057, ``God willin`, the Creek Don`t Rise`` song; 0059, finally ID as Radio Free What-ever, was a new song by Tori Amos, and back announce some others; 0059 signing off with address dickweeddj@gmail.com, ``Have a great Labor Day Weekend`` with even more exaggerated Germanish accent, and off 0100*.

6955-USB, Sept 3 at 0009, notes repeating like an IS, but then tune continues with other notes, S8. Off before 0024. More brief logs of unID on LSB, not the SSB I thought:

6925-AM, Sept 3 at 0009, JBA carrier on AM, with Spanish SSB QRM from 6924.50-USB; still at 0026. These say it was a relay of RFW 6965:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
6951.1-USB, Sept 3 at 0048, overmodulated and distorted music at S9, overcome several times by trilling sounds: QRM, jamming or not? Hard to pin the frequency without some carrier. 0051, frequent audience cheers vs guitar riffs. 0059 broadcasting heavy noise; 0101 switch to SSTV tones to 0103*. Pee Wee per

including images of the SSTV motto: ``Only a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out the car window``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
6934.87-AM, Sept 3 at 0050, music at S8; different station than 6935 above? At 0105, music at S7 as 6934.9; 0108 measured to 6934.93 with bluegrass ``Jolene``. 6935 or so still on at quick recheck 0200. Radio Appalachia per logs for 6935:

6965-AM, Sept 3 at 0102, music on much weaker signal than RFW was until his 0100*. Radio Illuminati these say:

6955.12-USB approx., Sept 3 at 0110, rough modulation, breaking up, music at S9, but hard to tune; seemed to be trace of carrier. 6955 or so still on at quick 0200 recheck. It was Pee Wee on 6955 per:

** U S A [and non]. 13270-USB, Sept 3 at 0019, New York Radio admitting that Atlanta and Nassau are still ``missing``, 0020 replaced by stronger Gander successfully quoting conditions and forecasts for Montreal, Toronto. Sounds like same guy as NYR; must be twins (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1893 monitoring: confirmed Saturday September 2 at 2230 on WBCQ 9330.058-CUSB, fair. Recheck at 2246 it`s drifted to 9330.049-CUSB.

** U S A. 9455, Sept 3 at 0015, canned Bob Biermann doesn`t know or care which frequencies he is really on, since he claims 9395 only for WRMI, back to Oldies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5130.29-AM, UT Sun Sept 3 at 0116, soft jazz at S7, must be Larry Will`s `Lumpy Gravy` on Area 51 WBCQ, still on the plus side; lots of competition from all the real pirates below 7 MHz but Larry`s music is more pleasant (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Sept 3 at 0056, WTWW-2 is on with prélude, and guess what: despite huge signal level of S9+50, the pirates currently on USB 6965 and 6951 axually sound louder. Soon hamads by Ted and `Theater Organ in the Ozarx` after 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 4840, UT Sun Sept 3 at 0044, WWCR-3 gospel huxter about Harvey with horrible humwhine continuously. Sked shows ``Patriots Unite Now! with Ken from the Bronx`` at 7-8 pm CT Saturdays, misconverted to 01-02 UT Sundays. You pays your money and WWCR don`t care how bad your audio be (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
