** BOLIVIA. 5935.01, Sept 27 at 2356, finally I have a JBA carrier, after no-shows 24 and 48 hours earlier from presumed Radio Yura; slightly on hi side, with traces of modulation until blasted away by WWCR steel drums from *2358:50 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 11785, Sept 27 at 2338, Firedragon music jamming over something in Chinese, S7 peaks with flutter. Can`t tell whether the Chinese is ours, RFA this hour only via Tinian, or theirs, CNR1 jamming to boot.
9830, Sept 27 at 2345, weak signal, at first suspected Turkey in German as sometimes by mistake, but it`s not off-frequency and it`s in Chinese, so scratch that; instead, CNR1 at 2025-0100, 100 kW, 175 degrees from Beijing 572 site, per NDXC, and not a jammer! There are lots of other weak Chinese signals scattered around 31mb now.
9765, Sept 27 at 2347, YL in Cambodian with piano music background. NDXC/Aoki shows it`s CRI this hour only in Khmer, 100 kW, 200 degrees from Nanning 954 site.
9535, Sept 27 at 2349, music under RHC music sounds like Firedragon: this hour only, jamming is required vs RFA Chinese via Kuwait. 9535 is always one of the weakest RHC channels here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EAST TURKISTAN. 5960, Sept 28 at 0000, time-signal ending with last pip higher about half a second late, JBA signal, maybe Chinese. Per NDXC, only here is PBS Xinjiang, at 2300-0257, 100 kW ND from Urumqi. This is the station which could QRM The Mighty KBC on UT Sundays, and used to be off-frequency low when also heard in our mornings, but don`t notice that now. Got to hurry back to PBS for The Vietnam War (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 88.3, Sept 26 at various chex, Family Radio satellator in Enid, K202BY is back on air. I last logged it in mid-May but it was gone again by Mayend. Clearly a low priority, not unusual to be gone for months at a time, and glad it is, as otherwise 88.3 is my best lowband frequency for DX and for RF feeders in the car and house. Fortunately it`s weak enough for the feeders to overcome it in most circumstances (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Sept 27 at 2329 I`m tuned in earlier to catch R. Chaski cutoff since I missed it last night due to periodic reset of autotimer. Yes, JBA carrier now until 2330:06.5* approx.; unfortunately I glanced away from my watch when it vanished, so subtracted a couple of seconds. This is now the reference point for future slippage circa 6.7 seconds later per noctem (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9395, Sept 27 at 2351, preview of Pope Francis` visit to Philadelphia coming up Sept 22-27, 2015, including Saturday Sept 26 and Sunday 27, for the World Meeting of Families; quite positive coverage, so wonder what this be: Overcomer, as soon confirmed by numerous //s on WRMI and other stations not synchronized such as 9370 WWRB. I thought BS is anti-Catholic? Maybe he is just playing this so as to denounce it following (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Re 14336-USB, ``Frontier Red Willow``, Art Jackson, KA5DWI/7 in AZ replies in ABDX: ``That frequency is active for County Hunters. It has been for many many years. There are other frequencies used, but that is a common calling frequency by those out in rarer counties. The phonetics was a ham call, but he must have failed to give his prefix. It is a common practice to ask for relays when one side is weak. I use to do that when travelling through west, south and central Texas counties back in my younger days. I should do it now that I am retired. 73`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1897 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday September 27 at 1045 amid the 1030 broadcast on WRMI, 5850, S9+20, but JBA carrier only on presumed // 9455, weaker than some Asian on 9460 (however, circa 0610, I was surprised to find WRMIs 9395 & 9455 unusually still holding up with VG signals). 1897 also confirmed Wed Sept 27 at 1315 on WRMI, 9955, S9+10 but with pulse jamming; tnx a lot, Arnie! It worsened some by 1320.
WOR also confirmed at surprise new secret time, Wed Sept 27 at 2039 on WRMI, 9955! So we get the Wed 2030 slot in the expanded WRMI programming hour instead of BS; fair, but pulse jamming continues, and ramps up by 2100; tnx a lot, Arnie.
NOT confirmed Wed Sept 27 at 2100 on WBCQ, 7490: fair signal but dead air from first check 2041 past 2100 and 2129, yet the dulcet tones of Goddess Irina have resumed by 2146. WOR barely confirmed Wed Sept 27 at 2330 on WBCQ, 9329.95v-CUSB, S6 including noise level, much weaker than usual here. Next:

** U S A. 9395, Wed Sept 27 at 2131, VOA news relay during Oldies portion on WRMI, ends at 2133.5 for BB ID. AFAIK, these appear at random times, but worth checking whether circa 2130 UT be reliable. Meanwhile, 9455 has started `Frecuencia al Día`, adding on this hour only to original 15770 but which is still off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 700, Sept 27 at 2045 UT, groundwave to quiet spot in western Enid on caradio, end of `Despacito` song, prompt ID for KHSE 700, Wylie etc., and K281CS 104.1 attributed to 8 cities (but there are a lot more suburbs than that in The Metroplex), and still saying ``This station is for rent. Please contact John Harmon, 972-904-4904``, then rap song in English. I bet they play some S Asian tunes too. Day power is one sesquikW and day pattern has a lobe toward OKC, me too; but a notch due north:

** VIETNAM. 9839.8, Sept 27 at 2342, VOV in English, VP S7, as always off-frequency; maybe // 12019.1, but that signal just too weak to tell. There is nothing in NDXC to indicate these are not right on 9840 or 12020. EiBi rounds to 12019 and 9840 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search Sept 27 at 1227: nothing but 828, seems NW, and maybe two signals beating. LSR was 1224 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
