** CUBA. 13740, Sept 21 at 1418, China Plus relay in English is very undermodulated; must turn up the volume compared to e.g. 13700 RHC Spanish; at least the two are not producing spurs today. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 774, Sept 21 at 1200, I am interrupting a 9-kHz bandscan (see UNIDENTIFIED) just in time to hear the NHK top-of-hour final prolonged timesignal chime, from 500 kW NHK-2, JOUB, Akita, on the NW coast of Honshu, but remains the #1 MW TP signal here, and despite splash from nearby 780 KSPI Stillwater, worsened since that flipped to music format. Along with 693, 747 & 828, other superpower NHKs, 774 stronger than other carriers thruout my monitoring span today between 1150 and 1215 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 13565-CW, Sept 21 at 1417, K6FRC beacon from California barely audible enough to copy vs CODAR. Usually inaudible, and I wonder if it be on the air always or not? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7490.1, Thursday September 20 at 2124, WBCQ in an `Allan Weiner Worldwide` playback, with Angela and caller discussing texting replacing phoning or other human contact. Yes, Thu 21-22 is now on schedule
http://wbcq.com/schedule/
as Available Time Slot, among several others. It also still claims Glenn Hauser`s World of Radio airs on 9330 every day at 2330, except Saturdays 2130!!! NOT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9455 & 7490, re Hal Turner show replaced by music Sept 20 after 0100 on WRMI & WBCQ, Richard Langley replies on the WOR iog:
``He had a power surge in the studio just before scheduled airtime and had to reboot everything. Details here: http://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news/world-news/3174-archive-hal-turner-show-sept-19
-- not that I'm interested in most of his drivel. I noticed the late airing on 9455 kHz when turning the bands around 0200 UT, hearing the "Star Spangled Banner" performed "cringeworthy" by Madison Rising. Looks like WRMI managed to transmit the second hour live. -- Richard Langley`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
