Glenn Hauser logs October 13-14, 2019

** CANADA. 15034-USB, Oct 14 at 1438, Trenton Military, CHR, **still** ``no report received`` from Zagreb, Split. Are those airports of particular significance for Canadian Forces? Tough luck (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [non]. 1580, Oct 14 at 1438 UT, KOKB Blackwell still off the air like yesterday afternoon, uncovering two weak signals making a fast SAH -- most likely next-closest KHGG AR with KGAF Gainesville TX, or maybe KFCS Colorado Springs, 10 kW ND daytimer two hours after SR here, and well after its 1315 UT sunrise (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 88.2V, Oct 14 circa 0530 UT, big hum and intermittent signal jumping around. At first I fear my tiny FM feeder transmitter is acting up, normally tuned to 88.1 output; no, not that. Now I think it must be K202BY, the 88.3 Family Radio translator for Enid, which has had all kinds of problems, off the air recently. The hum sometimes can be heard as low as 87.7 up to 88.4 at least. This disrupts reception of 88.1 KWOU. Tnx a lot, Harold! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 17895.021, Oct 14 at 1432, Qur`an at S9, typical inexact frequency, but MUF is looking up. How about the other two 16m Sa`udis, 17615v and 17705? NO signals from either, but all three are supposed to be on. 17895.021 is in fact the SSOB, beyond JBA carriers on 17770 Turkey and 17605 Austria --- and no signal from 17775 KVOH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2003 monitoring: confirmed Sunday October 13 at 2130 on WRMI 7780, VP S8-S5.

Also confirmed UT Monday October 14 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, JBA and undermodulated? while // 9395 has NO signal; MUF drop!

Also confirmed UT Monday October 14 at 0243 the 0230 on WRMI 7780, VP but a bit better than an hour before.

Also confirmed UT Monday from 0302.5 on Area 51 webcast and S8-S9 at 0305 on WBCQ 5129.98. Also a carrier about 6161, doubt WBCQ.

Also confirmed UT Monday 0330 on WRMI webcast, while 9955 remains inaudible, as well as 9455, 9395 in MUF drop -- more of which is likely this B-season; needs more lower night frequencies. Next:

1816 UT Monday    IRRS 7290 Romania to WNW
0100 UT Tuesday   WRMI 7780 to NE
0800 UT Tuesday   Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW

UNIDENTIFIED. 1130, Oct 14 at 0555 UT, ``tropical`` music from SW/NE, as KWKH Shreveport is unusually weak and easily nulled. Spanish on this frequency unusual; 0557 UT timecheck for 12:57, so in UT-5 CDT zone same as here, but no ID copied as KWKH resurges by 0600 UT.

NRC AM Log has a few US SS on 1130: KSDO San Diego but wrong timezone and SS:REL; WYXE Gallatin TN right zone but wrong direxion and SS:REL daytimer; KTMR Converse (Houston) TX, SS:REL, wrong direxion, and 25 kW daytimer; WLBA Gainesville GA, not REL but 10 kW daytimer wrong direxion; closest Mexidirexion would be XEHN Nogales, Sonora but UT -7. IRCA Mexican Log has two other iffies in Guanajuato, Michoacán, leaving the most likely, altho really more SSW than SW from here, but in correct timezone: 

``1130 XECHAP Mex Chapingo 10000 5000 Radio Chapingo EDU/CAR CP (2017) for XEUACH-1610 to move here replacing XETOL which moved to FM. Station web site 8/19 said transmissions will start on 1130 kHz (daytime only [sic] 1300-0100) on 10/4/2019`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1503.2 & 1476.8 kHz, Oct 14 at 0615 UT, slightly wandering spurblobs, 13.2v kHz above and below out of some 1490 station, now here. I can tell it`s talk modulation but far too distorted to read. Now not so sure about previous DF of WSW/ENE (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
