** CUBA. This damn Word program I am now using keeps ``auto-correcting`` my coinages, such as S U P T O R T E D, not ``supported`` as now fixed:
``11840, Sept 5 at 2216, this RHC Spanish frequency with suptorted modulation == suppressed/distorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC``.
Another typo? Correxion, from Sept 7 about 11860: ``at 2036 chocking Arabic`` supposed to be choking. Something`s sometimes wrong with my log reports (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6000, Sept 10 at 0603, RHC English is somewhat suptorted asserting that ``The US is the threat to humankind`` --- which with acting president Drumpf is no longer so far-fetched. // 6100 has lowest mod level but not distorted; 6165 = 6060 both very good. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, Sept 9 at 1546 UT, Enid`s only local TV signal, but with no local origination whatsoever, K17JN-D, the 3ABN Adventist network, has semi-recovered after several days of black screens and silence on all six subchannels: now only 2, 4 and 6, while usual programming has resumed on 1, 3, and 5. Still the same at 0315 UT Sept 11 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Storm noise level has abated enough to worthwhilize tuning for ND beacons, IDs per dxinfocentre.com:
281 kHz, Sept 10 at 0621 UT, DMO, best heard tuned to 280 or 282; is 25 watts from SeDalia MO, rather than my first guess Des Moines;
314 kHz, Sept 10 at 0625 UT, CVY, but tuned to 312, 25 watts from Fort Riley-Cavalry KS; neither name appears in the most detailed large scale road atlas. It is a real military reservation, not a regular town, between Manhattan and Junxion City. Specializing in horses?
326 kHz, Sept 10 at 0627 UT, MA, tuned to 324, 400 watts from Midland TX (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1946 monitoring: confirmed on WA0RCR, Wentzville MO, 1860-AM, UT Sunday Sept 9 at 0329 about 6 minutes into show so started circa 0323, S9+20/30, quite good for under 1 kW. Try this around central and eastern North America, especially as the storm noise season diminishes. Before and after WOR there is lots and lots of ham info.
WOR 1946 confirmed Sunday Sept 9 at 2150 the new 2130 WRMI broadcast on 7780, gh voice JBA.
The UT Monday 0130.5 on WRMI 5850 & 7780, which had been one of our best-coverage broadcasts, confirmed replaced by something else from Sept 10 as shown on skedgrid.
WOR 1946 confirmed UT Monday Sept 10 at 0300 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5129.8, poor. The following 0330 UT Monday on WRMI 9955 not checked, but confirmed on webcast; before 0430 could not reconnect to webcast to reconfirm the 0400 web-only repeat.
John Carver, mid-north Indiana reported at 0400 UT Sept 10: ``5130 worked well but I checked 9955 again this evening and again there was nothing there. No sign of a signal. Adjusted the pre-selector and the antenna tuner.``
Since WOR 1946 was a pre-produxion, this week I move ahead recording of new 1947 to Monday afternoon instead of Tuesday, as I need to catch up with almost two weeks of material to cram in. This also takes better advantage of the remaining good WRMI broadcast across North America, UT Tuesday at 0030 on 7730, which had been toward the tail end of the repeat cycle. Now it`s the first SW airing.
WORLD OF RADIO 1947 contents: Australia non, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Bulgaria, Cuba and non, Indonesia, Kiritimati, Madagascar, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Sudan non, Taiwan non, UK and non, USA [from DXLD 18-36];

Confirmed UT Tue Sept 11 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG. Playback seems fine altho I have had one complaint about sexions repeating within the program, apparently on an audio link. Is anyone else having this problem, or confirming not having it? Next:

** U S A. 5950, Sunday Sept 9 at 2332, WRMI 5950 has faded in enough to tell it is in Spanish, but not // 7335 Radio Marti. Supposedly WRMI is relaying RM during September Sundays at 2000-2400 on 5950 to carry baseball games of interest to Cubans, but there is no BB on 7335, rather music and IDs; whatever is on 5950 is not play-by-play either. I suppose exact hours of games will vary depending on time zone of venues. Per Jeff White at EDXC Bratislava, another RM relay on 5950 is Tue/Wed at 2300-0200, presumably one 3-hour span rather than two. For these WRMI employs #3 at 160 degrees, while the rest of the time 5950 is #5 transmitter at 285 degrees. Putting any exile or Marti programming on a frequency other than 9955 runs the risk of drawing jamming, which we certainly do not need on 5950, as it would no doubt expand beyond the RM hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7780 & 5950, Sept 10 at 2053, I am trying to figure out what`s going out from these JBA WRMIs, as Brother Scare was on them last week, contrary to skedgrid showing variety of programming on both at 2000-2200. Now I am hearing some music on both, but not //; one of them Oldies? Neither // 9330 WBCQ BS, even allowing for asynchrony (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5085, UT Sunday Sept 9 at 0623, WTWW-2 again with classic rock rather than Southern Talk in the Midnight. You never know how late this will stay on or whether it will be on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9450-USB, Sept 10 at 0612, very poor 2-way in Arabish, Intruders (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9892-USB, Sept 10 at 1440, poor 2-way in unID language, perhaps Brazuguese, intruders (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
