Glenn Hauser logs September 14-15, 2019

** BONAIRE. 800, Sept 15 at 0144, without really trying in tune-across, Spanish mention of rtm.org and Bible talk in strange accent, i.e. PJB, TWR. Dominant on the E-W longwire, where`s KQCV OKC? It still dominates on the DX-398 except when nulled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 13640, Sept 14 at 2237, JBA talk of interest only because hardly anything else is audible on band --- listed as CRI Japanese bihour from Jinhua site, so probably aimed thisaway beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Re my CNR1 jammer log on unlisted 11170, Wolfgang Bueschel reminds that he found Sound of Hope nearby during his exhaustive survey: ``my trace action of 05 - 12 July, 73 wb: 11170.091 S=6 1414 UT 2150-1700 SOH Xi Wang Zhi Sheng Chi 1-7 0607 UT<<<<<<`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [non]. 9580, Sept 15 at 0120, CRI English via CUBA is splashing upon 9570, CRI English via ALBANIA, lessened by LSB tuning. Commies vs Commies vs Commies! Maybe not such a good idea to run them only 10 kHz apart, altho not synchronized with an extra satellite hop to reach Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13557, 13627, 13767, 13848 approx. centers, Sept 15 at 1333, barely detectable FM spurblobs with F# tone from RHC 13700-AM, as RHC fails to provide a useful FM service today; something`s always wrong at RHC. The one around 13627 is somewhat readable, and I notice that the F# tone is also JB audible on 13700-AM, but not on 13740-AM, at 1336 as `En Contacto` is underway. Hey Arnie, this would be a great topic for you to discuss/explain in English and/or Spanish, rather than boring QSLs-on-the-air, etc., of possible interest to only one listener. At 1426 recheck, traces of FM but no mod around 13771, 13629, as blobs shift. BTW, 13700 & FM constellation came on air late, still unthere at first check 1306 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420, Sept 15 at 0130, great Greek music from ERT, S9+10/20. But it will be off 24 hours later on UT Mondays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 11659.970, Sept 15 at 0124, VIRI IS, 0126 suptorted Spanish during trihour starting at 2350 from Sirjan. If Iran can`t keep its SW frequencies accurate, how can we expect them to enrich Uranium properly? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 640, Sept 15 at 1308 UT and still 1315 UT, dead air from KWPN Moore, but too much signal to let KFI thru this late; at least Okies may still hear stupid sportstalk in English now on sibling 930 WKY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1999 monitoring: confirmed Sat Sept 14 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, S8-S9 after 2059 IS/ID loop, upcut joining WOR missing my first eight words, at ``1999---``.

Confirmed UT Sunday Sept 15 at 0328 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, about 15 minutes into so started circa 0313; VG S9+10 with some storm crashes from Iowa.

Also confirmed by Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria: ``GERMANY, World of Radio #1999 via Hamburger Lokalradio on Sept.15

** U S A. Re our AAAWWW reports for Sept 14, John Carver explains: ``Glenn. Jason works for WBCQ. At present time he's working with the FM station, I believe. He's been associated with the station for years and pops up now and then on the SW. Tim usually refers to him as Jay of Son. I have no idea what his last name is.`` And at 2306 UT Sat Sept 14, John says ``TimTron is doing his Area 51 show live from the station tonight and Jason is sitting in with him again. John`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Sept 15 at 0100, WTWW-2 with rock music, not `Theatre Organ in the Ozarx` as claimed on far-outdated website; not checked this week whether at 2330 Sat when it has also been missing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1280, Sept 15 at 1317 UT, my semi-local KSOK Arkansas City KS seems to be off; instead two weak signals: one from NE/SW with gospel huxter, not its musical format; 1319 another fades up from NW/SE with income-tax ad. 1329 first one into Lord`s Prayer and benedixion, outro as a Lutheran program, 1330 KSOK ID! and into music. So KSOK must be on power greatly reduced from 1 kW ND; axually I had already noticed it weak yesterday.

As for the perpendicular signal, could be much-wanted KPRV Poteau OK, or maybe WODT New Orleans, or KWHI Brenham TX. KBNO Denver might be more likely except it`s listed Spanish.

1280 also has hiss from adjacent IBOC: I suspect de 1270, KRXO Claremore OK, but NRC AM Log unshows it as I, rather KFLC 50 kW Benbrook (Metroplex) TX, which is still in Spanish but can`t be from defunct ESPN-D (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VIETNAM [non]. 7315, Sept 15 at 0117, VOV via WHRI in Vietnamese, not English as had been, while Viet was registered at 0130 when English has been running. Seems you can never depend on WHRI to play which language in which segment of the bihour relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 3325, Sept 15 circa 1250, JBA carrier again, from Bougainville or Indonesia? Ron Howard says he was not monitoring yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9200, Sept 15 at 0118, S9-S6 of open carrier, mystery continues altho I have not bothered to rereport it for some weeks. Possibly an RTTY station QRX for rare beepery? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
