Glenn Hauser logs August 24-25, 2018

** CHINA. 15745, Aug 25 at 1359, Chinese, S5-S8 with very heavy flutter, 5-pip timesignal and off 1400*. It`s CNR1 jammer vs RFA Tibetan via Tajikistan at 11-14 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, Aug 25 at 0251, RHC Spanish is suptorted here and likewise English on 6000; 5025 Rebelde is even more suptorted, while 6165 RHC English and 6060 RHC Spanish are OK. Presumably a problem with one of the studio-transmitter linx. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. At 0606 after 5040 is off, 6000 remains suptorted while 6060, 6100 and 6165 are OK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11860, Friday August 24 at 2202 check, nothing but wall-of-noise jamming, as Radio Martí and/or RHC must have just signed off --- but let`s keep jamming just in case!

11860, Saturday August 25 at 1409, still/again nothing but WON jamming, as Radio Martí is again absent this weekend. Or rather, any vestige of Saudi/Yemen is totally blocked instead. Tnx a lot, Arnie! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 15410.000, Aug 25 at 1404, Chinese with flutter, right on frequency. Aoki/NDXC shows CRI this hour only, via Kashi-Saiba, a.k.a. Kashgar. Not // 15110 Chinese since that`s a CNR1 jammer against VOA Philippines (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KIRITIMATI. 846, Aug 25 at 0604, JJBBA carrier. As explained before, can`t be anything but Radio Kiribati. BTW, this is not in WRTH 2018 as its reactivation came after presstime. It could be audible eastward an hour or sesqui earlier with local sunset, making much further NZ even unlikelier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 15714.872, Aug 25 at 1400, S4-S5 with flutter, music and Chinese. Aoki/NDXC shows at 14-15 it`s AWR in Chinese via Trincomalee. And it`s way off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1944 monitoring: still not aired anyday at 2330 on WBCQ 9330v, including Friday Aug 24.

NOTE: Tim Gaynor of Unique Radio, NSW, has invited WORLD OF RADIO onto his relay block via WINB 9265, starting next Saturday, Sept 1, at 1230-1300. Thanks, Tim! That will finally give SW listeners a chance to hear us on Saturdays. See also USA: WINB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9265V, Sat Aug 25 at 1254, hit soft rock tune of long ago, 1257 Tim Gaynor from NSW signing off Unique Radio relay. Carrier is *really* wobbling, must listen on AM, not SSB; but it averages out to 9265.00. I had been looking for current website, unfound, but he says it: http://www.uniqueradio.automatic.com --- or so I thought, but that goes nowhere; or is it automagic? Not either. See also WORLD OF RADIO! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5830, Aug 24 at 1738, the BST-1 caradio memory scan stops on 5830 (why did I ever set it there?), i.e. WTWW-1 is *still* on night frequency at midday! I had previously noted it on late at 1419, instead of day frequency 9475. Ted must have failed to make the switch today, not that unusual. At 0254 UT August 25, neither 5830 nor 9475 is on, but 5085 WTWW-2 is with rock. At 0352, 5830 is on again, but 0601 off again, along with 5085; not due to propagation as neighbor 5935 WWCR is well audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6870-AM, Aug 25 at 0256 S9/S9+10 open carrier. Could WRMI be thinking of resuming this WOOB frequency? Not in Jeff`s HFCC. Or pirate? or ute? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
