Glenn Hauser logs September 3-4-5, 2018

** ANGUILLA. 6090, UT Tue Sept 4 at 0557, CB is off again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ASCENSION. 6005, Sept 4 at 0604, BBCWS news in English from the hum-mitter, as it has been humming right along for many months (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11855.72, Sept 3 at 0100, Brazuguese from R. Aparecida, QSYback to ``normal`` off-frequency from venture a kHz higher (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9570, Sept 3 at 0056, relay of CRI English with LL: Chinese, disposable hour-ending fragment. Unusually, also has ACI from Cuban jamming against vacant Martí frequency 9565, inevitable even with 9570-USB tuning. Cubans vs. Cubans! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6100, Sept 3 at 0557, RHC English seems off, or it may be the
JBA carrier, incomparable to others: 6165 S9+10+, 6060 S9+20/30, 6000
S9+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6165, 6100, 6060, 6000, Sept 5 at 0545, all four RHC English frequencies with good strength and modulation!!! At last an opportunity to say something`s not wrong!

Until 0549 when I notice all four have dropped to dead air, still at 0552, when the Cuban Fifth, 5040 is, too. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 4 at 0602, VON is on again (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6959.95, Sept 3 at 0046, JBA carrier, off-frequency previously linked to Radio Illuminati. Now several 6960 unID reports including some interesting SSTV images at https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,45645.0.html
One image captioned ``Sprokets Radogram [sic] Show #3``, and PRRL logo after ARRL design. ``In Rocket Chat azimuth coordinator says that he is testing a new transmitter`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PALAU. 9960, Sept 5 at 1433, S9 undermodulated choral music with hum. Furusato no Kaze via T8WH is scheduled this semihour only, while HBN is on 9965 until 1430 and after 1530; why the shift? Seems like World Harvest Radio may have defaulted to some of its own fill music instead of the North Korean clandestine originating in Japan about abduxions (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGSEST)

** U S A. 8137-USB, Sept 5 at 1318, VP signal partially readable, marine weather info in live conversational tone, sounds like WCY Marine Weather Center, Lakeland, Florida, which I used to hear on 12350-USB. Probably QSY to lower frequency for degraded propagation. 1323 contact with a subscriber, ``Papa Whisky``. Yes, 8137 is another WCY frequency, per complete sked here showing both at once: http://www.caribbeancompass.com/shortwave_2017.pdf
And by now there should be a newer page at: http://www.caribbeancompass.com/shortwave_2018.pdf
For updates see http://www.mwxc.com

Found this during complete bandscans of the 8, 12 and 16 MHz marine
bands, hunting for any CW VVV or CQ ID markers, and not a one! to be
heard. (Nor for that matter, any in the intervening fixed bands)

WRMI 9955 a JBA carrier at 0330 UT Monday September 3, but WOR confirmed on webcast and the immediate repeat after 0400. Also confirmed UT Tuesday September 4 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG. NOT confirmed Tuesday September 4 at 2130 on WRMI 7780 --- audible with Brother Scare // 9395, despite System D schedule still showing WOR and variety of other programming 20-21 on 7780. // 5950 JBA carrier as usual, maybe WOR still there.

** VIETNAM [non]. 7315, Sept 3 at 0050, VOV via WHRI in correct language, stilted Spanish (SSS?), during second half of hour, instead of English last time checked after 0130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13272-LSB, Sept 5 at 1439, colloquial Spanish 2-way, wasting no time in uttering ``puta`` and ``conyo``, intruders with no deleted New York Radio VOLMET in the way on 13270 (but Gander still during the last dekaminute of each semihour) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
