** BANGLADESH. 15505, Oct 3 at 1358, Bangladesh Betar carrier very poor at
S2-S5, but stronger than usual, enough to perceive the IS starting at 1359:30,
and the 5+1 pip mis-timesignal not ending until 1400:41.5! as Urdu service opens
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6145, Oct 3 at 0636,
this RHC English is AWOL again, still on the others, 6100, 6060, 6000; ahh,
redundancy! Something is always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 6170, Oct 3 at 1327, RNZI still here, not yet
moved to 5980 as registered if that is really a plan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 1898, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 7254.93, Oct 3 at 0635,
Voice of Nigeria is S9+10 but just barely modulated, presumably Hausa (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K. 9890, Oct 3 at 2359, B-B-C-
chimes very poor. It`s SINGAPORE, 250 kW at 330 degrees, about to start a
semihour in Myanmarianese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S
A [and non]. All frequencies of WRMI OFF the air at 0632-0635 UT check October
3: 5850, 7570, 7730, 7780, 9395, 9455, 9955, 11580 all inaudible (tho 9 & 11
MHz might have faded out); Other US stations on 5, 6 and 7 MHz are still
audible. Reawake at 1326, they are all still off except for very poor signals on
9395, 9455, not WRMI?
11825, Oct 3 at 1329, good dead air presumably WRMI
about to come back? No, from 1330 it`s KSDA GUAM signing on in
Thai!
9455, Oct 3 at 1342, open carrier, so WRMI starting to come back,
then some music; others still off except JBA carrier on 9395.
9455 //
weaker 9395, Oct 3 at 1401, now in `The Power Hour` with paranoid commentary
about the Deep State, paedophilia, Trump in danger? Still, no other
frequencies.
Next check at 1427 Oct 3, now // 7780 is very poor as usual;
9955 back with BS; 11580 back with Argentina in Spanish, 11825 BS; 21525 JBA
with Radio Africa. Then I check WRMI FB to find what Jeff is
saying:
``WRMI Radio Miami International --- 1130 UTC Tuesday October 3 -
WRMI is experiencing an unusual power outage, perhaps caused by the recent
Hurricane Irma damage in the area. All of our transmitters are off the air
except for 9395 kHz on low power. Florida Power & Light is investigating and
repairing the problem at this time and we hope to be back on the air soon. Our
live stream of 9955 kHz is online on our website, wrmi.net and via services such
as TuneIn.
1400 UTC Tuesday October 3 - OK, our power has just returned
and we will be bringing all of our transmitters back on the air within a few
minutes. Some overhead power lines in the area of our transmitter site, possibly
damaged by Hurricane Irma, fell to the ground. Florida Power & Light fixed
the lines just a few minutes ago``
He has also added dozens of photos
from HFCC B-17 in Cape Town.
I pause in WOR 1898 produxion to check 9955,
October 3 at 2054 to discover what extra program is on at 2030 Tuesday: another
gospel huxter in English, unknown which (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
