** ANGUILLA [non]. 11775, Oct 1 at 1417, still no signal from Caribbean Beacon.
Turns out that the Sept 24 reactivation when it sounded OK, was quite an
anomaly; no more hurricanes, but not heard since. Now there is a JBA carrier on
11775, presumably AIR Nepali via GOA until 1430.
6090.0, Oct 1 at 2353,
no AIA, but VP signal with music, not off frequency, not R. Bandeirantes, Brasil
which is inactive anyway. What do you bet China has a transmitter on here, good
for grayline? Yes, NDXC/Aoki and HFCC show CNR2, southward from Geermu until
0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BOLIVIA. 5935, Oct 1 at
2337 and 2354, no carrier detectable from R. Yura, vs S9+ storm noise level from
Nebraska (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BOLIVIA. 5952.4+, Oct
1 at 2337, still no signal from Radio Pio XII, like last night. Despite noise
level, think I should have been able to detect it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Oct 1 at 2329, R. Chaski, JBA carrier vs
very heavy storm noise level from Nebraska; can barely tell it goes off at
2330:31*, which is 24.5 seconds later than last catch four nights ago, Sept 27
until 2330:06.5*, so averaging 6.12 seconds later per. However, my previous
timing was imprecise; if it were 1 second earlier, the average would be 6.37,
still not up to the expected 6.7. We`ll see next time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 17855, Oct 1 at 1813, yup, REE is still dead
air to North America, 4 hours after last check, while 17715 manages to modulate
with news about Catalunya (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
TURKEY. 9830+, slightly on the hi side, Oct 1 at 2341, German, so Emirler dozers
have again neglected to turn off this VOT frequency before 2300; after 2200
English of less than an hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U
S A. 13565-CW, Oct 1 at 1419, can barely make out K6FRC beacon ID in noise level
but not CODAR. Regular monitoring of the HIFER band finally pays off. Last time
I heard this Californio was March 17 at: 1418! Consult
Still
months have gone by without hearing any of the other previous regulars (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7533.50-USB, Oct 1 at 2349,
MARS net in some kind of roundtable or roster check-in, but rather disorganized
causing a couple of double-transmission talkovers. Each one mentions two more
suffices after his own call, e.g. AAR6UK, MB, XB; NCS seems to be AAR6TF, PL,
WN; then back to AAR6MA, PL, RS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1897 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
October 1 at 2330 on WBCQ 9330.16v-CUSB, S9 fading to S6. Next:
Mon 0300v
WBCQ 5130v Area 51 to WSW [also check 3250v-AM]
Mon 0330 WRMI 9955 to
SSE
Mon 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Tue 0030 WRMI 7730 to
WNW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9330.20-USB,
Sunday October 1 at 2057, WBCQ is already on with rock prélude, but not on 7490.
By 2059 it`s on too, 7490.110, at very poor level. No canned ID until 2102 and
into `Marion`s Attic` special, with Marion and Christina live from Monticello
(except for the music which is as ancient as ever, but apparently set up to play
back the cylinders there. Seems to me that the thing to do would be dub them
once onto digital media, and then put them back into museum for preservation and
no further wear; but that would be blasphemy?)
Since reception is so poor
this early on both SW frequencies I can get, and none at all on the ones I
cannot, 3250 and 5130, I confess to listening to the rest of it via the 7490
online stream. A lot less music than usual, since the live show is an
opportunity to take phone calls from fans, and there are quite a few to MA #686.
At 2135 one from Tim (Hendel) in Huntsville AL, who adds plugs in Spanish,
French and German (but not Albanian). 2146 Marion asserts that this is the first
quadri-cast in WBCQ history. Final call is from Uncle Bill, but Marion doesn`t
seem to know who he is, i.e. the next program which also starts late, at 2303,
featuring folk music from the FYROM, which I continue to enjoy noise-free until
2330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, Sunday Oct 1
at 2056 check, WRMI with Roberto Scaglione in Italian, so `Studio DX`
reconfirmed here for a second week in the 20-21 block which starts with Radio
Prague daily (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9455,
Sunday October 1 at 2344, WRMI Oldies service amid VOA News relay, items about
Catalunya, Puerto Rico, Trump; meanwhile 9395 is BSing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 21610, Oct 1 at 1814, VP carrier here,
presumably WHRI, which was registered to QSY here at 13-20 UT a month ago, Sept
3, from 17815, but that never happened. Now not on 17815; was mostly BS (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5050, Oct 1 at 2355, WWRB is
already on, S9+25 with classic rock prélude (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6910-LSB, Oct 1 at 2334, Spanish lecture about
allocation of Mexican ham radio calls, sounds like a broadcast, but finally at
2336, ``adelante``, over to virtually inaudible contact. No US pirates to be
heard now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
