Glenn Hauser logs August 31, 2020

** AUSTRALIA. 11900, Aug 31 at 1354, south Asian music and then talk by YL in unrecognizable language; S7-S9, outstanding SSOB except for the Cubans and nons. 1359-1400*, Reach Beyond, Australia, sign-off in English sounding more `merican than `strine, not Ecuadorian. Now to figure out language: Day 2 = Monday at 1345-1400 Aoki/NDXC shows it is Cha; EiBi shows CHG --- I guess they both refer to Chhattisgarhi as in WRTH 2020 but now outdated B-19 sked had no such DOW, TOD, nor frequency for it.

But the revised A-20 update as of May 26 confirms it. Now, where and how many Chhattisgarhi speakers are there? EiBi`s readme.txt shows: ``CHG Chhattisgarhi: India-Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Bihar (13m) [hne]`` So there we have three different abbrs. for this obscure language but spoken by more than the population of e.g. Illinois, who must be Christianized!

11825, but wait, there`s more: Mon Aug 31 at 1449, gospel huxter in English also bigsig S7-S9. While E Asian signals like CNR1 jammers are JBA carriers. This is RBA daily at 1430-1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. 7850-USB, Aug 31 at 0610, CHU is weak, but even weaker is CCI from 2-way USB almost same frequency, maybe Brazilian or Spanish. Not first time such intrusion has been detected (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Aug 31 at 1355-1359: none audible in the 16s, 15s, 14s, 13s, 12s, until JBA carriers: 11500, 11460, 11440, 11170, 11150, 11120, 11100; none in the 10s; 9300; finally 9215 music achieves S3-S5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, Aug 31 at 0238, no signal from R. Progreso, quick check on TWR Boa Vista just as I am mentioning its absence on WOR. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6145 & 6100, UT Mon Aug 31 at 0616, RHC `DXers Unlimited`, Arnie`s prop info seems a bit dated, then outro as the mit-week edition, so despite `Ed Newman` then pointing out that there are two per week, must have been playing the wrong/old one, and 0619 into his `Mailbag`. Something`s always wrong at RHC. But the two last frequencies on air this late both enjoy good modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ISRAEL [non]. (9955), WRMI webcast UT Mon Aug 31 at 0400 I check what`s on it after SW turns off: news all about Israel, Gaza, i.e. Israel Radio or whatever they call it now as scheduled for a full hour on WRN web/satcast. But by 0450 or so, wild world music with WRMI ID by BB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.9, Aug 31 at 0614, once again no signal from VON, not on 9689.9 nor 11769.9; altho the latter is still being reported in their evenings. But 11770 at 1714 Aug 31 via UTwente only Chinese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2049 monitoring: confirmed UT Monday August 31 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG direct but some deep fades: this week #13 transmitter does not dump off air before 0100.

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 31 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, VG S9+10 via UTwente; also on WRN webcast.

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 31 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, VG S9+20 via UTwente; and also for second week surprise 5800, S9+10/20 via TWR Boa Vista KiwiSDR.

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 31 from 0259.5 on Area 51 webcast; and WBCQ 5130, S3-S7 via Rochester SDR; closing 0328.5 on 5130 direct S9+10 including HSNL.

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 31 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/20, no jamming, better than where aimed at TWR Bonaire and Boa Vista. 0358 Maine SDR at S9/+10. As always cuts off the air by 0400* before ID can finish. See also below for 9955 webcast 0400+. Next:

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 31 from 1800.6 on IRRS 7290 via Bulgaria; S9+20 via UTwente with Synch readout as 72900003.71 Hz. Autonotch checked somewhat reduces the 7291 warble, but no way to get rid of the heavy splash from 7280 Vietnam and 7290 Iran. Continues intact past 1810. However, tuned in earlier: *1755 carrier on; 1758.4 bumps up power so quieter; 1758.8 JIP WOR already running for a few minutes in Belarus [non] item; 1800 interrupted for quick IRRS ID only, FSN headlines, 1800.6 restart WOR.

** U S A. 5950, Aug 31 at 0620, SMTV repetitive music beat suspected of double audio feed but not so obvious until 0623 talk which is horribly duplicated, or is it triplicated. Evidently no one at Okee is monitoring, like no one beyond cares to listen to this cult, as it was thus 24 hours ago; and also in between on 15770 as Wolfgang Bueschel noted:

``15770even WRMI, two time double echo program, SMTV - echo some 1 1/2 second audio later repeat, S=9+20dB at 1610 UT on Aug 30; in Detroit MI, Rochester NY, and Aberdeen NJ US states Perseus server net (wb df5sx, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Aug 30)`` --- I could not find this by searching on 15770 since he attached `even` to it! See also ISRAEL [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15825, Aug 31 at 1451, WWCR-1 S9+10, while an hour before was a JBA carrier. Sporadic E has hit it; DXMAP shows some MUFs to 27 MHz, altho not directly between us. By now it will be a rare day for any FM DX but at least had a few good openings this summer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9-kHz JBA MW carrier search, Aug 31 at 0637 UT; only 846 presumed TP KIRITIMATI, and 621 presumed TA CANARY ISLANDS. No 711, while 710 is dominated by on-frequency Rebelde CUBA // 5025 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
