** CHINA. 7600, Oct 4 at 1257 choral music, emphatic Chinese talk, 5+1 accurate
timesignal to 1300*. Must be CNR1 jammer, as Aoki/NDXC shows nothing but jammed
0.1 kW Sound of Hope between 07 and 01 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6145, Oct 4 at 0600, this RHC English transmitter is
missing again, still on 6100, 6060, 6000. How early is it missing? Supposed to
start at 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS [non].
9955, Wed Oct 4 at 1306, WRMI with FG Radio, which continues to default to their
`travel gazette` sexion, playing music fill between brief items about European
low-cost airlines, plans for direct flights between Kenya and US. Publicity for
Famagusta website
has
several seemingly real story linx, but top of page pimps fake news clickbait to
questionable advertising (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
ETHIOPIA. 6090, Oct 4 at 0256, carrier on here but not Anguilla, very poor
S5-S7, 0258:20 IS starts playing briefly and can`t copy any talk to 0300. Amhara
State Radio is the one on 6090, but Ron Howard with help from David Kernick has
been hearing ISes of different stations each day, on 6090, the ones also
supposed to be on 6030 and 6110.
He says on UT Oct 3 it was really R.
Amhara IS, but Oct 1 it was R. Oromiya, and on Sept 29, R. Fana, respectively;
however the first clip is labeled UTC Oct 2, all in heavy storm noise
levels:
Recalling my
unrecorded log, seems more like the first one, than the second one and certainly
not the third one I heard. All the regional stations are transmitted from Addis
Ababa, so a mixup could easily happen at the site if not the studios. Even the
private station R. Fana, 6110 transmits from the AA/Geja site, same as R.
Oromiya, 6030, government station. WRTH does not specify Geja, however, for
Amhara SR. It should be interesting to monitor 6110 and if possible 6030 at the
same time just before 0300 to ascertain which ISes they are playing. Then
there`s 5950, V. of Tigray Revolution, which also transmits on SW from AA (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY. 15449.885, Oct 4 at 1429,
still way off-frequency is Biblis scheduled in R. Liberty Tajik service. See
also TURKEY for another off-frequency 15450 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7470, Oct 4 at 0245, JBA speech from Station
YHWH, 0249 seems off, 0254 seems on. Next check at 0603, surprised to find him
still/again on, very late, and much better at S9+10, now can understand his
diatribe including: was former Christian for 40 years, 53-page document, tens of
millions of Christians have been fooled into believing in that so-called god,
Jesus. 0606 playing his notorious ``creepy tune, Days of Hard Life``, but cut at
0608 for undermodulated closing, ID as YHWH, hello to someone in California, I
love you, and pulls plug immediately (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 21505.028, Oct 4 at 1433, Arabic talk stronger
than 21525 WRMI, but weaker than // 17705.005, i.e. BSKSA General first program.
21505 is 500 kW, 295 degrees from Riyadh. Nice to find 13m open from the ME, but
too bad no one else is using it, not even Kuwait (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 15450.04, Oct 4 at 1324, VOT closing with headline
about Syria, sign-off, IS interspersed with Turkish? IDs, off just before 1330*
but probably too late to get the transmitter retuned to 11880 for Kazakh to
start on time at 1330. English from 1230 would have been sufficient for
listening with some strain, so the marginal October propagation improvement is
underway. Another off-frequency 15450: see GERMANY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1898 monitoring: woke up at

** U S A. 7570, Oct 4 at 0246, this WRMI is off, so one less
frequency from The Overkiller, sob! All other WRMIs, 5, 7, 9 and 11 MHz bands,
are still on, so not a total power failure. However, 5985 is JBA carrier, so
maybe not WRMI but always weak here, now supposed to start at 0230. Next check
at 0601, 7570 is back on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

``UNIDENTIFIED. 1010, Sept 15 at 1214 UT, ballad music in Spanish roughly E/W.
Format might fit for XELO Chihuahua or XEWS Culiacán (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)``
This would explain my unID: I had thought of KTNZ, my
nearest 1010 to the west, but could not find any update of format change for it
from stupid ballgame talk on ESPN en inglés; from Neil Kazaross, IL, Oct 3, in
IRCA, et al.:
``KTNZ 1010 Amarillo now Spanish Religion --- I've heard
their calls followed by Radio Católica Mundial slogans the past couple days at
sunrise. This is EWTN Spanish. 73 KAZ Barrington IL`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
