** BRAZIL. 11780, Sept 4 at 2057, Brazilian song at S5-S7, as RNA is back here after a spell on 6180 as others have reported. There are also reports that Bolsonaro wants to privatize EBC stations, which would probably put an end to the SW service (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6100, Sept 4 at 0623, RHC English, S9+20 but undermodulated, better than JBA carrier on 6165; 6000 and 5040 off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 13700, Sept 4 at 1325, after resurgence yesterday, no FM spur constellation from this RHC today. Something`s not wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 15130, Sept 4 at 2055, algo JBA, virtually the OSOB. Aoki/NDXC shows NHK in Japanese via FRANCE at 1900-2100.
11985, Sept 4 at 2059, French broadcast just ending. This one is NHK via MADAGASCAR at 2030-2100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1490, after open carrier/dead air since at least August 30, KMFS Guthrie is finally revived Sept 4 at 1755 UT with some musical modulation, 1800 UT ID *only* as ``Son-Life Radio, WJFM, 88.5, Bâton Rouge``, i.e.. flagship station of Jimmy Swaggart network, who then starts gospelhuxtering (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1580, Sept 3 at 1830 UT, KOKB Blackwell is OFF, while sibling 1020 KOKP Perry remains nominal; KOKB still off Sept 4 at 1755, 2105 UT: opens frequency for traces of two other groundwave stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1997 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday September 4 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, after IS & ID loop. This stopped at the end of a cycle right at 2100:00, but WOR playout not cut on until 2100:03 when I have already reached ``---1997``, my first eight words upcut, as WRMI automation continues to be out of synchronization. S5-S8 anyway, much better than simulcast on WBCQ 7490.2, JBA in HNL, but confirmed L&C on webcast. Next:
Thu 0100 WRMI 7780 to NE

** U S A. 9330, Sept 4 at 1355, JBA signal presumed WBCQ relaying NOAA Weather Radio from Daytona, but too weak to be sure. At 2103 it`s just as bad but measured down to 9329.94. Will they pick up further NOAA`s up the GA, SC, NC coasts? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. During a break in my high local line noise level affecting MW as well as SW, at midday Sept 3, I decide to try something different: MW bandscan at 1 kHz below each 10-kHz channel in USB, to ``hear the hets``. Even tho this is far from an ideal quiet location and far from ideal equipment (R75 with 100` E-W longwire, meaning it`s a bit deaf to the N/S, such as not hearing 820 WBAP), I listen for frequencies with more than one carrier beating --- some of them very slow, to slow, to medium, to fast --- and skipping those with no signal or definitely only one signal. It would take a *lot* more time to count the beats and calculate each SAH.
This indicates that there are remnants of groundwave from some second-tier stations around here I seldom or never hear in the clear. Of course, I am not interested in amassing station totals so am making no such claims, just an exercise in monitoring and propagation. I will include the most likely sources based on proximity, top station first. Remember that we do have some of the highest inland ground conductivity around here, in the 30s.
I do this between 1840 and 1903 UT Sept 3, i.e. just after local mean noon always at 1832 UT, when there will be the *least* possibility of MW skywave, especially now still in summer. Some frequencies with one fairly strong semi-local seem to be wobbling; hard to be certain if transmitter fault or receiver overload. As usual when tuning MW or LW on this receiver, both Preamp 2 and Preamp 1 are OFF. But further ATT is not engaged. And of course there is no DFing with the LW.
Quite possibly no other DX editor will wish to dedicate the space to publish this, but here it is in my original log report, which took at least twice as long afterwards to compile as to carry out.
