** ARGENTINA [non]. See USA: WRMI
** CHINA. CNR1 jammer search, Sept 24
at 1240-1250: 9155 JBA carrier, 9255 Chinese, 10820 JBA carrier with flutter;
more JBACs on 11150, 11460, 11540 < 11640, none higher. The lower ones are
all listed SOH jammed frequencies; the top two vs RFA and RTI (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 9620-9660, Sept 24 at 0018,
buzzfield this wide out of the 9640 RHC transmitter, rather than peaks 9630
& 9650 as before. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) see also TURKEY
** OKLAHOMA. Transmission of S9+
buzzing noise levels around my QTH appear to have been fixed. This has
severely hampered my monitoring mainly in the 3-9 MHz range, sometimes
beyond, and sometimes also MW. On rare occasions it would abate or go off
briefly, particularly after some rain. I complained to our electric utility,
OG&E, about this in early August. A very helpful guy, Rocky, checked it
out, but concluded that he could do nothing about it until Suddenlink cable,
which shares poles with OG&E, repaired some ``lashings`` in my
neighborhood, making noise masking the major problem. This was not done until
September 23, after my repeated complaints to Suddenlink, and putting them
in contact with Rocky.
Now today Sept 24, Rocky has been back on the
case, located and fixed it: a bad lightning arrester, he says, half a mile
north. My DF of the noise source had long indicated a N/S axis. It had also
been radiating thru powerlines over a wide area, same thing heard for many
blox around. Thanks to Rocky! I`ve got his number if there are any
further noise problems. Now I should again be able to DX effectively on
the lower bands! (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN.
12030, Sept 23 at 2047, S8 of dead air from REE to ME, while 9690 to NAm is
modulating OK at S9 fading to S6; 12030 would have been better for us even
tho off the back. The other two transmitters appear off: 11940 JBA carrier
from algo, CRI Bulgarian via Kunming? and nothing on 11670 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 13635, Sept 24 at 1254, S9 Turkish
announcement with contact info just before 1255* as VOT manages to land
within a few Hz of proper frequency; too bad English is not on here, as
15450, too high all summer, remains a JBA carrier. However, 13635 could
be blasted away by RHC-FM; 13700 is already on but no spurs today
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2000
monitoring: confirmed UT Tue Sept 24 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, JBA vs HNL here,
but F-G via UTwente where aimed!
Checking the WRMI skedgrid, I see that
another WOR airing has been replaced by something else: Sat 2100 on 9955.
This may keep me from noting (never complaining) about being upcut; it would
have been better for WRMI just to align its systems. Strangely enough, WOR
still appears on the sked for Wed 2100 on 9955, despite having been
replaced by RFPI French the past two weeks. Next:
2100 UT Wednesday
WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

** U S A. 9395, Sept 24 at 0001, WRMI with W&M
conversation about debunking conspiracy theories; say they are on 9395, 7730
and another frequency to the south. Not now! 7730 has a gospel huxter in
Spanish. ``Flat earth makes no sense,`` she opines. Address is theweeklylab@gmail.com. I check other
WRMI frequencies and it is // on 5950; not on 9955. Then searching the WRMI
webskedgrids I find `The Lab` for a semihour at: Sun 0030 7730; Sun 2100
9955; Tue 0000 9395 & 5950; Wed 0300 9955.
I guess this is
relatively new; at least not noticed here before. There is already an entry
about it on the WRMI programming page http://www.wrmi.net/index.php/programming/
``The
Lab is a weekly show that dissects and digs into a wide range of topics. From
today’s current events to ancient history, and everything in between! Your
hosts, Kate Holiday and Ryan Rivers bring you the latest through this weekly
show and Podcast.
Kate Holiday has been on the air since 2015, starting
in Kodiak, Alaska where she hosted a live radio talk show each weekend and
was on the air every evening during the week. When she finally left
Alaska, she always knew she wanted to get back into radio at some point,
and is excited to start this new adventure alongside Ryan Rivers.
Ryan
Rivers joined Kate Holiday in Alaska starting in 2016, serving as her
co-host. He was on the air each weekend with Kate, derailing her show each
time. A native of southeast Missouri, Ryan took an interest in shortwave
years ago and is excited to be reaching an audience around the globe. A
history-buff at heart, Ryan constantly drops useless knowledge and random
facts regarding the hot topics discussed.
The two have reunited once
again, this time on shortwave to reach the world! Their show is also
available for download as a weekly Podcast. The broadcast schedule on WRMI is
0000 UTC Sunday (that's 8 pm US Eastern Time on Saturday) on 7730 kHz, with a
repeat at 0000 UTC Tuesday (that's 8 pm Eastern Time on Monday) on 9395 kHz.
The broadcasts are beamed primarily to North America, but can be
heard elsewhere when propagation conditions are right. Your comments
and reception reports are welcome at: theweeklylab@gmail.com. Photo
above: Ryan and Kate in the studio`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 5850, Sept 24 at 0006, S9+20 of dead air from WRMI. I
leave a receiver on this and remains dead until 0108 fades up
robo-bible, presumably during TOMBS? No, ABF English is scheduled on System
F, UT Tuesday at 0100; and from 0000 daily it`s supposed to be
Slovakia, after 0030 in English! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 7570, Sept 24 at 1239, more dead air from WRMI,
S9+20 instead of SMTV. 1259 recheck now modulating, ID, and 1300 into
SMTV.
15770, Sept 24 at 1300, WRMI with RAE relay in French, before
SMTV take over at 1400. Seems current with news about UN General
Assembly; altho RAE French must be M-F, this broadcast is only
Mon/Tue/Wed.
RAE has a new web address:
http://www.radionacional.com.ar/rae-nueva-web/
and
the French page is still unaware of this broadcast! Only L-V 2330 on
7780:
http://www.radionacional.com.ar/bienvenue/
Also
still claims English at 0100 is a full hour on 9395. German at
2200 on 9395
has also been debunked in Europe. One would have hoped
that hosting the B-19
HFCC in Bs. As. would lead to some coördination
between WRMI and RAE as to
scheduling (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 9330.00,
Sept 23 at 2049, WBCQ-6 is on with rock music, only S8-S4, not as strong as
when aimed thisaway. A twit from AW via Artie Bigley confirms that it`s ``060
degrees true at 500 kW``. What`s on that beam? Well, 59 is Gaza, 60 is Sinai
and 62 is Cairo. The #1 target of World`s Last Chance, to get the flat-earth
message back into Egypt (PTell pthat pto Ptolemy!). Of course still nothing
yet on the latest frequency registered for this, 12120, other than NAU PR
RTTY.
2348 recheck, 9330 still with music in English, S7-S9,
occasional
modulation/power surges, from testing? 2358 surge to S9+10 but no
ToH
ID at 0000 Sept 24. The antenna could have been turned around in
the
meantime without my noticing a necessary break in transmission.
I
keep a radio on 9330 in the background, as WBCQ continues past 0030. At 0044
I check UTwente and find it JBA! Around 0100 the signal around here seems to
build, due to propagational or transmissional changes? Wonder if it will run
all night?
Anyway at next check 1242 Sept 24, 9330 is still/again on at
S9+10, sounds like Johnny Cash with a country/gospel song, partly parlato,
or spoken rather than sung, segué to a ``cowboy song`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1190, Sept 24 at 1230 IT, weather
from ``KKIM AM 1000`` and Biblebabble --- what? Per NRC-AM Log, 1190 KXKS
Albuquerque NM, U1 10000/24/psra 30.3 watts, is // KKIM 1000, meaning 100%?
Just a few minutes earlier I had noticed the KKIM very slow SAH against 1000
KTOK OKC, but now I can`t be certain they match. Cheaters! FCC
official sunrise for September is not until 1245 UT (October: 1315). KKIM is
U1 10000/53/psra 12.2 watts, both obviously on full day power already. But
hey, all this is In Jesus` Name, so anything goes! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Re my hearing 1520 KYND // 1560 KGOW in
Houstonic Vietnamese, Stephen Luce replies on the WOR io
group:
``Glenn, the Vietnamese on KYND 1520 has been rather irregular; it
is usually a simulcast of KGOW 1560 although I have heard
separately programmed Vietnamese music at times -- the music sounds like
a religious format. KYND is a brokered time station that has been without
a paying client the past two years, and I've wondered if VietRadio Houston
(which programs KGOW) is looking for a new (cheaper?) outlet, or perhaps
thinking of launching a second program service? KYND can also be off the air
for days at a time, so it is all rather hit or miss. The station consists of
a transmitter site and nothing else; no studio, etc. Stephen Luce, Houston,
Texas`` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Sept 24 at 1214-1225 around local
