** GERMANY. 15449.885, Oct 1 at 1414, still a JBA carrier, from off-frequency IBB Biblis scheduled for Radio Liberty in Tajik (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 7425, Sunday October 1 at 1250, RNZI back on correct frequency instead of 6170 which was running before 1300 yesterday; 6170 not on yet but is at 1335 recheck.
RNZI how-to-listen schedule now shows some changes effective Oct 1, not including the 7425/6170 matter: dropping 13840, otherwise same frequencies but apparently adjusted hours, daily: 2259-0358 15720, 0359-0458 11725, [0459-0558 NOTHING! typo?], 0559-0758 9630, 0759-1058 7425, 1059-1258 7425, 1259-1650 6170 (except Sat to 1858), etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 17855, Sunday October 1 at 1408, REE again today radiates S9+10 of dead air toward North America, just like the entire(?) broadcast on Saturday. Are they shooting for a full 16 hours of dead air this weekend? 17715 is almost as strong but with silly ballgame modulation, 15520 also audible.
Will they have any time for unbiased reporting about Catalunya secession referendum? REE has nothing to worry about as dozing Noblejas site is safely ensconced in Toledo, central España, altho it`s missing from the map on page 59 of the 2017 WRTH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1520, October 1 at 1240 UT, immediately upon tune-in, KYND ID, and no KOKC modulation, dead air there making usual slow SAH. Turns out that KYND is running a 73-second loop over and over trying to promote some business. The points made include, summarizing, not verbatim: if you want to get your program widely heard in the #6 radio market, phone Joel Turner(?) 281-373-1520. Check the coverage map at Radio Locator. 25000 watts. Subject to FCC limitations. Cypress-Houston.
At 1255 UT some CCI from a third station. At 1301 UT, KOKC has started modulating with news, CBS? Never heard that mentioned. 1305 UT dead air. 1306 UT talk show starts, beginning with morning-wake-up bugle call, but KYND loop can still be heard mixing underneath. Are they running this all the time, or only during certain unsold hours? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1530, Oct 1 at 1246 UT, promo/PSA concerning wild animals, ID as ``107-3 and 15-30 Mountain Country``, from NW/SE. That`s KQSC, Colorado Springs, prioritizing its silly little translator, K297BQ; on 1530 supposed to be 15000/15 watts U1 with 1000 during critical hours. Official FCC October sunrise is not until 1315 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1540, Sunday October 1 at 1248 UT, infomercial pushing vitamin D supplements, loops NE/SW, must be KXEL Waterloo, Iowa. This semihour used to be occupied by Defunct Elder Jacob O. Meyer of WMLK fame (whose own SW is still not funxional) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1010, Sunday October 1 around 1237 UT, preacher in Spanish with somewhat strange accent, but not exactly gringo. Loops E/W or slightly counterclockwise. #1 suspect is KXXT Tolleson AZ (Phœnix market), Family Values Radio, 15000/250 watts U5. Official FCC October sunrise is not until 1330 UT. Day pattern is circle tangent eastward, good for us. Schedule is overwhelmingly in English, but the daily lineup has lots of gaps including now:

There is a `Conexión Cristiana` at unknown time, and even a woman holding up a Brazilian flag, so could emit some Brazuguese too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15081.8-USB, Oct 1 at 1411, very weak 2-way contact, unseems Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
