Glenn Hauser logs July 9, 2013

** BANGLADESH. 15505, July 9 at 1358, BB IS is playing, fading down for unimpeded but always inaccurate 5+1 timesignal ending at 1359:32.5, i.e. 27.5 seconds faster than anyplace else in the UT+6 zone. Signal level a little better than lately, but still only poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake [non], before 1330 July 9, CNR1 jamming instead:
13970, fair at 1329; none in 14s, 12s, and only 15115, 15195 in 15s
16100, good at 1326
17510, good at 1326 – target here is BBC Uzbek via Oman during this semihour only, as China interferes in the affairs of its neighbor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15340, July 9 at 1324, RHC Spanish with some modulation breakup, but it could be, and has been, far worse. But why any at all? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO [and non]. 1320, July 9 at 1204, checking hi-end MW for remnants of skywave, 42 minutes after sunrise, something in Spanish with 7:04 timecheck before fading. Loops NE/SW, rather than NW/SE, so not KXYZ Houston which could be in Spanish instead of Chinese at this hour, and no known SS in other neighboring UStates, so most likely XECPN in Piedras Negras, Coahuila. A minute later on 1350, then found Univisión América, i.e. KCOR San Antonio so that ties in (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 15825 WWCR had been Es-boosted around 1400 UT July 9, so expected some VHF activity too.

1415 tune-in channel 2, with antenna south, yes, some weak Spanish audio, seems drama; and traces of video at times on ch 4

1432 on 2, fades in with toon from Televisa net-5 as bugged in LR

1446 on 4, algo again, and some zero CCI on ch 5 to my cable radiation

past 1530, just weak video CCI mostly on 2

1532 on 4, fades in toon from Televisa-5 in LR. To be continued? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MOROCCO. 9579.1, July 9 at 0517, weak music, but it`s not on 9580, so not Africa Number One, Gabon, as some have assumed/listlogged lately, but instead Médi Un, Nador. ANO remains absent, maybe gone for good (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3205, July 9 at 1145, which is 23 minutes after sunrise here but as early as I awaken, quick check of 90m for NBC signals. 3205 is the only one with some modulation audible, but also carriers on 3260, 3325, none of the others. Also something comes and goes on 3230 where no broadcasters exist (except RSA one other hour weekly, unpropagable to here) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SUDAN [and non]. 15400, July 9 at 0512, 1 kHz tone atop R. Dabanga, again presumed jamming from, or on behalf of, Sudan`s repressive government (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9410, July 9 at 1150, big distorted blob, maybe jamming if Fu Hsing has reactivated from Taiwan (Glen Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. In previous report of 13650-13300-, in explaining the units I should have said ``1.96 kHz per second = kilocycles per second per second`` rather than ``kilohertz per second per second``. One could also write kHz/sec, or kc/sec squared (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs July 8-9, 2013

** BOLIVIA. 5952.44, July 9 at 0056, R. Pio Doce is quite audible in dialog, probably Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOLIVIA. 6154.9, July 9 at 0100, YL talk seems Spanish, from Radio Fides, much weaker than 6134.8, R. Santa Cruz. I see reports of both as on 6155.000 and 6135.000, trailing or defaulting zeroes being allowed to misimply that they are really on exact frequencies, never the case. Study the concept of ``significant digits`` and override your logging program or imprecise frequency display (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 4915, July 9 at 0055, R. Daqui is gone early again, and still nothing on alleged // 11835v either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 6070, July 9 at 0049, still no signal from CFRX; will it ever come back this time? Despite someone having reported it 48 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6060, July 9 at 0003, still at 0058, 0107, RHC Spanish audio is continuously breaking up severely, altho stronger than // 6100 which is OK, as are all the others I check: 9810, 11680, 11760, 11840, 15230. Wiggle that patchcord!

As usual ragged start to English: at 0103, 6000 is going late, but 6165 is still off; its carrier on by 0105, and modulating before 0106 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 17550, July 8 at 2045, nice to hear R. Kuwait`s C&W NAm service in Arabic music with fair signal, in fact somewhat better than English with rock music on 15540. News at 2051; 2058 sign-off by announcer still blithely asserting that 15540 is in the ``25-meter band``, quick military band anthem, accurate 5+1 timesignal to 2100, switch to fanfare introducing Arabic news which no doubt will be cut off in a few minutes after paralleling 17550 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEWFOUNDLAND. 6159.96 approx., July 9 at 0050, poor signal in English, surely CKZN back on (near) frequency after months circa 6160.8 producing a big het with CKZU and anyone else. Before sunset here, and way before sunset in Vancouver, surely this one is CKZN, as first noted by Thomas Nilsson, Sweden, July 7 at 0232 and July 8 at 0300 with CBC IDs and news on 6159.966 both times, but ``a little unstable and trembling``. I needed to get this before 0100-0700 when bigsig from Cuba blox on 6165 (unless it fails). Best time to get local info on CBC is the weather about :05 after the news, but altho RHC was late tonight, still off at 0103, it was on by 0105 and modulating before 0106.

CKZU had also stayed slightly on the lo side of 6160, so when both are mixing later in the night, it will be interesting to compare how far apart they be now. SAH sure beats an AH (Glenn Hauser, OK< DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, July 9 at 0058, R. Chaski as usual barely audible with talk in hash/splash/noise level, until carrier cut at 0104:45.75 or so = 5.25 seconds later than yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs July 8, 2013

** BANGLADESH. 15505, July 8 at 1358, BB IS is JBA, enough to clock the timesignal as ending at 1359:39.5. Will they ever set their timesignal accurately? If not, why bother. Because it sounds precise even if it`s anything but. Fool the people. Who`s comparing to WWVH in Bangladesh? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. After first getting XHTAU and XEFB on channel A2, July 8 at 1444 UT I hear some English while the antenna is still aimed southward:

1444, with 1-800 number, .ca website; so rotate to find video peak from north, YL gospel huxter is quoting Chuck Colson

1455, studio talkshow continues, in and out. Seems to be a bug in UR I cannot make out

1457, fade-in to show along with the hosts, ``866-273-4444 toll-free prayerline``. Also a large 100 in the LL along with some small lettering I can`t make out

1458, outro show from `Crossroads`, Brampton Ont, and Niagara Falls NY addresses

1459, Global Evening News at Six promo

1500, SHAW bug in LR, other bugs in UL and LL. Now show is `The Doctors`, medical advice

Weak signal continues in & out following hour.

1600, now a cooking show, good at 1605

The Ontario network stations would all be in noon news now. At first I thought I had CIII-TV-2, Bancroft Ont., a Global station, but its EDT programming is one hour of real time ahead of what I am getting which matches TV Guide CDT listings for Winnipeg, i.e. CKND-TV-2 Minnedosa, Manitoba:
 9:30 am [1430 UT] 100 Huntley Street
10:00 am [1500 UT] The Doctors
11:00 am [1600 UT] Chef at Home
Crossroads Christian Communications produces 100 Huntley Street

1616, brief surge mentions ``a Manitoba website``

Now the 6m map shows Es all over the USA, but not a bit into Canada, and only one little line into Chihuahua; rotating, no Mexican TV now, so back to north

1624, ad for a Manitoba golf club, atop CCI from ? But Global keeps dominating, 1625, chef show about Louisiana cuisine

1630, into real estate show, `The Unsellables`, so still CKND-TV-2.

1643, another good peak, Manitoba Stampede ad; 1645 recycle cans at Winnipeg Blue Bombers games

During this opening, the MUF has never gone above channel 2, ALL THE ABOVE, until:

1644 on 4, some video starts to show, bits of English;

1648 on 4, ad for chilltowin.com; 1649 promo for `So You Think You Can Dance`; back to `e-talk` show as scheduled for CTV Winnipeg; 1652 snow-free. This must be CHYB-TV, 100 kW in Brandon MB.

1700 on 4, CTV news about Manitoba, somepol steps down from cabinet

1700 on 2, not news but `Design, Inc.` show as sked on Global Winnipeg

MUF pokes into FM band: see separate log

1733 on 2, still in, interview singer, `Entertainment Tonight` [sic]

1745 on 2, still in but about to disappear

(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. Sporadic E TV-DX opening from Manitoba on 2 and 4 barely reaches the FM band as I am waiting for it on 88.1, the ATS-909 with whip antenna only but signal maybe bouncing off the TV antenna, July 8, UT:

1655, fade in rock music and back out. W9WI.com shows not a single 88.1 in MB, not even low-powers.

1702, Canadian news about the pol quitting cabinet; train explosion in Quebec; 1702, ``That`s MBC news,`` Prince Albert, Sask. ad; 1703 for White Bear Lake golf course; 1705 lengthy weather for all over Sask., including first-nation areas, Uranium City; 1707, ``95 dot 5, MBC`` ID; fade out; 1710 fade-in with music; 1714 after song, ``MBC Network Radio``, phone 425-4101 or toll free 877-425-4101; DJ is Dale Rothman(?), shtick about ``be a kid again day``, such as by making silly faces. 1722 another fade in with music; 1724, Mike on the phone making a request from Prince Albert.

This is CJLR-FM-3, 49 kW in Prince Albert SK, but originates with CJLR-FM-6, 95.5 in North Battleford. MBC is the Missinipi Broadcasting Corp. Distance to P.A. is 1220 miles.

I logged 88.1 before on July 27, 2011 and had some nice correspondence with people at the station. All that is in DXLDs:http://www.w4uvh.net/dxld1130.txt
http://www.w4uvh.net/dxld1131.txt
http://www.w4uvh.net/dxld1132.txt
7+ minutes of clips from that occasion are athttp://www.w4uvh.net/CJLR3.rm
mostly in native language.

I also have combined clips of three fade-ins this time at:http://www.w4uvh.net/cjlr3_20130708.rm
roughly 1705-1707, 1714-1717, 1722-1726 UT. Sorry, it starts out a bit loud till I turned it down; 9+ minutes; so:
Condensed version to 3+ minutes taking out most music and fades:http://www.w4uvh.net/cjlr3_20130708c.rm

At peaks of 88.1, I also tuned the DX-398 to 99.1, the next-up full-power station in Prince Albert, but did not hear it. I certainly did hear the other radio`s local oscillator on 98.8 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 6135, re my log of CNR1 July 7 at 1222, no known jamming target, Ron Howard explains: ``Originally CNR1 was on 6135 to jam RTI:
`DX RE MIX NEWS #788 (July 1):
Frequency change of Radio Taiwan International:
1000-1500 NF 6180 HUW 100 kW / 310 deg to EaAs Chinese, ex 6135`
Guess they stayed on 6135 just to be sure RTI did not return again,
even though they did start up on the new 6180 RTI frequency?`` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake, July 8 before 1330:
13795, very poor with CCI at 1325

All the rest are CNR1 jammers:
12500, poor at 1324
15545, JBA at 1327, het on lo side
15570, very poor at 1327, same het on lo side; none in 14s, 16s, 17s
CNR1 echo jamming much stronger on 15115 and 15195, which were not formerly Firedrake (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Sporadic E opening in progress at tune-in July 8, with antenna south on NTSC channel A2, UT:

1413, Spanish audio; 1416 CCI, then peak of one signal with Elecciones 2013 full-screen grafix, returns for yesterday in Tamaulipas, then Coahuila and Chihuahua. This is during INFO 7 news show with Azteca net-7 bug in LR along with 9:18 clock and 24 degrees at 1418. So it`s XHTAU in Tampico

1420, fade to another ch 2, with MATUTINO EXPRESS on set, f-bug (Televisa net-4) in LR, TELEACTIVA in UR, i.e. XEFB-TV Monterrey NL

1421, mentions Azteca Nordeste, and ``siete 7`` promo, i.e. this subnetwork:

1422, XHTAU dominates. Large INFO 7 in middle of set/screen between W & M anchorette (stage left) & anchor. Also reads info7.mx below it. Peaks snow-free for a bit. Headlines at screenbottom but not crawling, rather flipping vertically. Full story about vacationers having problems(?) or overloading the Monterrey bus station, as this morning cast originates in Monterrey tho relayed from Tampico. 1427 it`s quite dominant, then fades in and out.

At 1444 I start to hear English on channel 2 so rotate to CANADA, q.v., maybe missing more from Mexico. (XHRIO in Matamoros switched from Fox in English to MundoFox in Spanish some time ago. So how do you see Fox in the RGV?) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12105, July 8 at 1255, WTWW-3 Bible Worldwide is already on in Russian, unusual as normally comes on after 1300; CCI and SAH from KSDA Chinese. Intention per WTWW schedule is to start at 1100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 4840, UT Monday July 8 at 0400-0430, `The Talking Machine Show` on WWCR is replaying last week`s episode. Is this SOP? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11979, July 8 at 0523, without BFO, the weak 11980 Turkey carrier suffices to audiblize some CW sending 7 over and over in code: --... Almost sounds hand-keyed; at least the pauses between the sevens vary. There are 28 repetitions per minute. What in the world is going on here?

11980, as we noted before, is also infested by RTTY intruder inside the SWBC band, poor signal at 1408 July 8, but probably unrelated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13650-13300-, July 8 at 1403, buzz sort of like OTH radar, and I realize it is slowly moving downward; hard to determine bandwidth as it moves, but less than 25 kHz. Perhaps a cross with an ionosonde. I sit on 13500 and then jump to 13400 to time how long it takes for it to decrease by 100 kHz: about 50 seconds; then to 13300: another 52 seconds for it to cross there. Call it 51 average. Thus the frequency is ``decelerating`` at the rate of 510 seconds per Megahertz or 0.51 seconds per kHz, or the other say round, 1.96 kHz per second = kilohertz per second per second. We need a handy name for this unit, but MegaHausers is already taken = megacycles per minute (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15400, July 8 at 0517, 1000 Hz tone making slight SAH with weaker R. Dabanga, Madagascar. Nothing on 15150, where 1 kHz tones were being heard during this hour until last night, when Wolfgang Büschel found it on 15400. Now the 15400 tone cuts off at 0531* as R. Dabanga continues.

This is getting suspicious, as 15150 is also a R. Dabanga frequency via Madagascar, but at a totally different time, 1529-1627 (plus R. Tamazuj at 1500-1529). Thus I suspect the tones are jamming from Sudan, except they were at first mixed up about which frequency to attack in the morning. The other morning frequency, 11650 via Vatican at 0400-0557 has long been marred by continuous tone jamming.

As for 17690 tone, checking again for that I hear a weak 1 kHz circa 17693.5 at 0518, which I am now writing off as out of some local device, altho how an exact 1000 Hz tone arises is unclear.

17690 is scheduled only for R. Azadi (Free Afghanistan) alternating Dari and Pashto all the way from 0230 to 1430, with a variety of sites, switching at 0530 from Sri Lanka to Thailand; unheard (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs July 7-8, 2013

** BOLIVIA. 4958.0, July 8 at 0058, JBA carrier, still suspecting R. Trópico, Trinidad, as reported reactivated yesterday. Thomas Nilsson, Sweden, SW Bulletin was also checking for this July 7 at 0005 and found a carrier with sidebands but no audio on 4957.98, also exactly same frequency July 5 and 6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOLIVIA. 5952.44, July 8 at 0044, Pio Doce is off; 6155-, Fides is inaudible vs noise level, maybe off; while 6135-, Santa Cruz is on but weaker than usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 4915, July 8 at 0040, Portuguese, poor signal but better than others on 60m, vs CODAR here, presumed R. Daqui not signed off yet. Nothing audible on // 11835v. 4915 played music across hourtop past 0101 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 17720, July 7 at 2020, open carrier/dead air from RHC, stronger than Spain 17715 (with 16m mostly vacant, why are any signals adjacent??). RHC is supposed to be in Portuguese during this semihour, and on 17720 from 1930 to 2300 (not -0300 as in Aoki).

I was not checking RHC after that, but maybe lots more dead air today? Dave Marthouse says 6000 was unmodulated at 0000, and both 6000 and 6165 were still unmodulated at 0300. I started listening at 0315, still dead air on both, but 6000 came up with music in English service at 0332, and 6165 then too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CYPRUS. 9658-9683, July 8 at 0050 and still at 0106, strong OTH radar pulses in the middle of the 31m SWBC band! Mainly tearing up VOR English 9665 (and its Brazilian het), while Serbia 9685 is strong enough and aside enough to escape it. Cyprus is just a guess for these typical 25-kHz wide messes. Then there is more noise, DRM from COSTA RICA 9630 extending out to 9605-9655 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY. 15785, Sunday July 7 at 1808, one more check for the 1 kW Hamburger Lokalradio test, but no signal at all audible. The 100 kW Greek on 15650 is very poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, July 8 at 0045, JBA carrier from R. Chaski in splash and noise level, but still sufficient to clock the cutoff at 0104:40.5* which is 5.5 seconds later than yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1676 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-2, 9930, Sunday July 7 at precisely timed start of 2328:43. Next: Tuesday 1100 on WRMI 9955; Wednesday 0630 & 1430 on HLR 7265-CUSB (Glen Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, Sunday July 7 at 1720, KVOH is testing again for two hours from 1700. Just noted that it`s on, not fully checked until 1805, when signal is VG, slightly better than VOA GB 17895 which fades from peaks while KVOH does not. Same test material as 8 days ago, Spanish and English requests for reports, bits of gospel programming. Propagation is closer to normal this time. I check for spurs around 17920v as with the old KVOH, but none heard despite very strong fundamental and good modulation. I was getting some distorted blob around 17925-17935 but could not match modulation to 17775: could be local FM breaking thru which is a problem on the DX-398.

Besides VOA, the only other signals on 16m are much, much weaker, 17715 Spain, and 17850 France (in French so not REE/CR which is also still registered!) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9445, July 8 at 0043 nor after 0100 no distorted blob here unlike 24 hours earlier. And the 9490 Cuban jammer is not bleeding much either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs July 7, 2013

** AUSTRALIA. 9580, July 7 at 1415, RA with classical music, but it`s just a Mahler clip amid quiz as this is his birthday. Rest of questions are about religion, so must be ``The Inquisition`` segment of the great ABC show `Sunday Nights`. We used to hear the quiz an hour or two earlier. Now the RA online schedule shows SN at 12-14 and also at 14-16, so is the second bihour a repeat of the first, and if so, why? Isn`t there more original programming available?

As for 9580, it used to cut off rudely at 1358, but now is scheduled until 1500, per Aoki, and also resuming same 70 degree beam at 1700 when it`s not useful in mid-day North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOLIVIA. 6135-, July 7 at 0058, R. Santa Cruz, good signal with music stingers and swooshes amid news items, mentioning the word ``aparecida`` which could be confusing since there is a Brasilian by that name also listed on 6135, but this was certainly in Spanish. [Omitted this bit before my previous log item after 0100 of IDs and sign off] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 6135, July 7 at 1222, music from CNR1 is one of the best signals left on 49m, // weaker 6105, and 6180. Aoki shows 6135 as a CNR1 jammer at 10-15, but no known target, so could it really be a new non-jammer? You`ve got a PR problem when such questions arise about your station. 6105 and 6180 are jamming Taiwan. Similar music on 6165, but that is apparently CNR6 if not VOV4, surely not Myanmar as Ron Howard has pointed out.

Non-Firedrake CNR1 jammer survey July 7 on higher bands before 1430:
16160, fair at 1425; none in the 17s, 14s, 12s
16100, good at 1425
15565, poor at 1420 [vs Voice of Tibet, Tajikistan 15568, inaudible]
15525, very poor at 1424 [vs Voice of Tibet, Madagascar, inaudible]
13970, poor-fair at 1422 // 15565 [this and the 16s surely vs Sound of Hope, Taiwan, all inaudible] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6060, July 7 at 0527, Cuban jazz as I tune across, cut off the air by 0528, then found other RHC English frequencies also gone: 6010 and 6165, while 6125 is still on but JBM. Power failure? At 0530, all come back on, but with 6125 still JBM.

11860 et al., Sunday July 7 at 1230 expecting `Cuba Campesina` criolla music from RHC, but keeps talking in `Así es mi Tierra` interview about Haití, running late. 1238 CC finally starts. Are there other times for it? Consultinghttp://www.radiohc.cu/de-interes/programacion.html
we see that the nominal time is 1233, with no other entries! However, it may well be included in the 21-23 UT `Revista Iberoamericana` for which no content details are ever published.

13780, 11860 and 11760, July 7 at 1412 are all in open carrier/dead air while RHC Spanish continues on 15340 and all the weaker frequencies, 11750, 11690, 9540. Next check at 1421 they have all resumed modulation. What about 16m? No propagation except for a very weak 17630 signal in English, i.e. CRI via Urumqi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY. 15785, Hamburger Lokalradio tests scheduled Sunday July 7 with 1 kW from Göhren: hardly expected to pick it up in deep North America, especially with pitiful propagation conditions, but try anyway since it`s including WORLD OF RADIO. Hope it`s better heard closer to Europe. Yes, absolutely nothing audible at 1409, 1428 or 1458. Even full-power stations from Europe on 19m are inaudible, such as Greece 15630/15650; only signals are weak ones from Asia and Cuba.
Next chance is 1800-2000 on 15785-CUSB, including WOR at 1830.

In the British DX Club, Alan Pennington confirms the test was running and audible at 0745 amid WOR 1675 (instead of latest 1676):

``Fair clear reception of Hamburger Lokalradio on 15785 kHz this morning on just my Sony 7600GR portable with telescopic here in Lancashire. Tune-in at 0745 UT with Glenn Hauser's World of Radio No. 1675. English ID of test requesting reports at 0759 with addresses, then programme in German about North Korea(?). Slow fading with good strong peaks, so SINPO 35433. Alan Pennington, Longton, Preston``.

The first test block had been planned for 06-08 UT last week, when tech problems intervened, but now moved one hour later to 07-09, in order to avoid CRI, Xi`an on 15785 until 0657; thus WOR also an hour later than anticipated, at 0730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9680, July 7 at 1417, RRI fair with music, Indonesian announcements, and NO CCI from the China radio war for a change! Nice to hear RRI by itself. Taiwan and Chicom jamming continue until 1700/1705 per Aoki but must be propped out today due to higher latitude path? Or is that one of the frequency/sites Taiwan is tearing down? Aoki shows ``Tamsui District``, which no doubt has two or three other identities depending on the source. Both VOI and China have enough signals on 9526/9525 only to produce a very weak het (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1676 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-1, 5830, from 0400.5 UT Sunday July 7. VG signal but some overmodulation / distortion. Next: Sunday 1830 test on 15785-CUSB from HLR, Germany [q.v.]; Sunday 2330v on WTWW-2, 9930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15150, July 7 at 0429, 0449, 0458, 0513, no sign of the continuous 1 kHz tone test heard the previous three nights during this hour; nor 17690. Propagation degraded, but Australia was still OK on 15160 before 0500. Wolfgang Büschel heard no tone on 15150 either, but on 15400 at 0521 July 7, covering Dabanga/Madagascar and thinx that may be Kamalabad, Iran testing prior to their 1300 UT broadcast on same frequency. For propagational reasons, I doubt 15150 was from Iran (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs July 6-7, 2013

** BOLIVIA. 4957.9, July 7 at 0109, weak carrier, no modulation audible. Could this be R. Trópico, which Miguel Castellino in Argentina reported to condiglist as 4959, reactivated a few hours earlier at 2203 UT July 6? At 2325, Ernesto Paulero also in Argentina said it was coming and going with a few words, then only a carrier.

I was checking 4959 first at 0049 but found nothing there except pulse jamming, stray from Cuba? q. v., at least between 4959 and 4965, while there was a stronger station on 4955, presumably Amauta, Perú. Jamming was like that heard on 5890, 5955, etc., where it is just as uncalled-for.

LA SW Logs, still available, but not updated since Feb 2012,http://www.mcdxt.it/LASWLOGS.html
shows it on 4958v, closer to my reading, which I did not know until looked up later; so it may have been gone for six years:
4958v BOL RDif Trópico, Trinidad [1755/2224] Jul07 A ex4552 see6037.6
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOLIVIA. 5952, UT Sunday July 7 at 0058, Radio Pio Doce is gone again, maybe just earlier variable sign off like other Bolivians (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOLIVIA. 6135-, UT Sunday July 7 at 0101, R. Santa Cruz with usual good signal and full ID for ``960 kHz onda media, 6,135 kHz onda corta, y 92.3 MHz frecuencia modulada, transmitiendo desde Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia``. A few notes at 0102, jingle/IS? Then into sign-off message with same and even more detail. Sure wish I could have been recording. ``Emisora del Instituto Radiofónico Fé y Alegría``; partial street address for ``oficinas en Mario Flores, esquina ---``. Then a quena/guitar song, but not allowed to complete, cut off in mid-word at 0105:43 and carrier off a few seconds later*. Modulation really strong, but not distorting much this time, altho there were a few IADs (intermittent audio dropouts). Closing time varies a lot; maybe this is normal for Saturday night.

6155-, July 7 at 0059, music weakly audible from presumed Radio Fides, but can`t copy anything definite and too much temptation to tune other frequencies; maybe one of these nights I will hear an ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 4915, July 7 at 0046, R. Daqui is off again, altho others were hearing it earlier in the hour, as well as // 11835.698. That must be off too, as all I can detect against strong 11840 RHC is a JBA carrier on 11835.0. R. Daqui is listed on 11830, but Jorge Freitas also heard them several days ago around 11835. Next time 4915 is in well, it would be nice to copy a full ID with all the frequencies announced. As usual, numerous ZY-frequency carriers were audible at this time on 60m above and below 4915, most of them slightly off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. Fidel`s filthy pulse jammers continue to mess up our SW bands, with Arnie`s approval; it`s bad enough when they target real stations trying to get the truth thru the sugarcane curtain --- even worse when they are allowed to run against long abandoned frequencies and bleed out away from those. July 7 between 0055 and 0110 as I am trying to tune legitimate DX stations, irregular pulse jamming of variable strengths interferes on 4959-4965, 5890 (heavy against ex-VOA Spanish which even when it existed was not on at this hour), 5955 against no Radio República --- but even even worse on the 9 MHz band bleeding out from heavy multiple pulse jamming vs R. República via France on 9490: at 0114 I could hear the pulses all the way out to 9430 and 9525 at least, the latter QRMing Romania with classical music. Axually more pulses on the low side of 9565, another jammed frequency. As for República on 9490 at 00-02, it`s hard to tell they are even there any
 more and sometimes I doubt that they are; in springtime that could hold its own or even overcome the jamming here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also UNIDENTIFIED 9445

** GUAM. 13362-USB, July 7 at 0120, very poor signal but can tell it`s a YL in Amerenglish, i.e. AFN, and nothing from LTA on LSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OMAN. 9760, July 7 at 0117, fair signal with ME music. Figured it would be R. Farda, until HFCC reminded me: ``9760 0000 0200 28,39N THU 100 315 0 218 1234567 310313 271013 D 13650 Arb OMA RSO RSO 10180`` -- that is, R. Sultanate of Oman, which despite the dates on this entry, only recently started broadcasting new frequency at these hours (just in time for Ramadan?) (Farda is on 9760 but not until 0230, via Germany) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, July 7 at 0050, R. Chaski is in with enough strength to tell it is talking; after chasing lots of others, back to here at 0104 in time to time cutoff as 0104:35*, which is only 4 seconds later than yesterday, but averaging 5.17 seconds per night later compared to 0104:19.5* on July 4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1676 monitoring: confirmed this Saturday back to usual time, instead of half an hour later after frequency change: i.e. from 2330:27 July 6 on WTWW-2 9930, and finished in time for 2359+ QSY announcement to 5085 and 9930 off by 0000. Next: 0400.5 UT Sunday July 7 on WTWW-1 5830; Sunday 2330v on 9930.

And the Hamburger Lokalradio tests Sunday at 06-08, 10-12, 14-16, 18-20 on 15785-CUSB are to include WOR at 0630, 1030, 1430, 1830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. In case you haven`t heard, Ray Robinson of KVOH notifies us that there will be another test transmission Sunday July 7 on 17775, this time at 1700-1900 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9445, July 7 at 0115 while checking out the dirty Cuban jamspur range, I find an extremely distorted blob here. It might be the center of a jammer, except there is nothing scheduled here, but there are traces of program modulation in it, so more likely a spur or extremely mistuned transmitter. Found nothing else like it on the 9 MHz band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

KVOH Testing

KVOH - Voice of Hope, Los Angeles, would like to thank all those who responded to last Saturday's test broadcast. It was unfortunate that the time chosen for the test happened to coincide with a geomagnetic storm, but in spite of that, reports have so far been received from 13 U.S. states, as well as from Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina and Indonesia.

The station will be testing again tomorrow, Sunday 7th, from 1700-1900 UTC (1-3pm Eastern). As before, the frequency is 17775 kHz, with 50kW on a beam of 100 degrees (towards Cuba). The same test program will be used as last week, with announcements in English and Spanish, which hopefully will be easier to copy since atmospheric conditions are better this weekend. Reports will be very much appreciated to either QSL@KVOH.net or P.O. Box 102, Los Angeles, CA 90078. If reporting by email, please attach a short mp3 recording of your reception if possible. If reporting by mail and requesting a QSL, please enclose return postage. In all reports, please be sure to describe your receiver and antenna used. Reception comparisons using handheld portable radios with telescopic antennas (outdoors) will be especially helpful.

KVOH currently expects to be able to launch a preliminary 2-hour daily schedule around the end of this month (July), and will build from there.

Glenn Hauser logs July 5-6, 2013

** BOLIVIA. 5952.4+, July 6 at 0056, Radio Pio Doce is certainly back after missing 24 hours earlier: music vs Cuban jamming against nothing on the hi side centred on 5955; 0056 Spanish announcement sounds like a commercial rather than anything pious. At 0102 unseems Spanish so Aymara or Quechua? 0105, back to Spanish discussion mentioning gobierno and municipios.

Wolfgang Büschel, Stuttgart, Germany, was monitoring this a few minutes earlier: ``footprint 5952.440 kHz in MUMBLED Spanish, much weaker speaker than Cuban or Mexican Spanish locutors pronunciation, in peaks S=8-9 at 0035 UT July 6``

Art Delibert, Vineyard Haven, Mass. reported at 0007 UT July 6: ``Glenn -- FYI, I'm listening to Pio Doce now on 5952.44, with talk and music.  So they are on the air. Signal level is good, but much of their audio seems a bit garbled.`` They agree on the exact frequency.

At 0102 I also checked the other CPs on 49m: 6155- R. Fides audible poorly, hard-to-copy Spanish; 6135- R. Santa Cruz best signal but worst overmodulation/distortion yet I`ve heard from them, during 0114 song (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 4915, July 6 at 0105, R. Daqui is gone again, no signal here, but lots of weak carriers on other 60m ZY frequencies. Wolfgang Büschel, Germany agrees the 4915 channel was empty at 0020 & 0115 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake July 6:
13795, good at 1243 well atop talk CCI from IBB Tibetan via Kuwait
 7365, good at 1336 with flutter atop CCI, IBB Chinese via Thailand

Search for CNR1 jammers 12-18 MHz unproductive circa 1245 and 1340 July 6. Propagation is much degraded with normally VG 15775 VOA Korean JBA, 15575 KBS inaudible, little else on 19m and nothing on 16m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** HAWAII [and non?]. 15000, July 6 at 1159, WWVH with full ID, badly marred by continuous big noise resembling OTH radar, but bandwidth is no wider than WWVH itself, and does not seem to fade independently, so QRM, or self-generated? No signal from WWV here, and no such noise on 10000 or 5000. Recheck 15000 at 1245, WWVH is now in clear for propagation minute (R1 blackouts likely), but as often happens, there are spurious tones at the tail of the prop announcement! Is NIST, of all agencies, falling apart? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 15720, July 5 at 0452, RNZI is on with good signal, unlike absence 24 hours earlier; and DRM noise also audible on 17670-17675-17680 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 15120, July 6 at 0612, VON is on with English news going from African to other parts, fair signal. There was no sign of it an hour earlier tho the broadcast supposedly starts circa 0445 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 89.3, July 6 at 0058 UT, the unID classical Es station having outfaded, I hear the new KIEL Loyal with net ID as ``Twenty-four hours a day, Radio Seven Four International``. See previous report about this Radio 74 network (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 92.1, July 6 at 0110 UT, KAMG-LP Enid has once again lapsed into dead air; at least there are no clix, and no stereo pilot either. It`s really incredible to me why anyone would want to have a radio station, and yet not make sure it operates properly. Back to praise music in Spanish at next check 1545 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 95.1, July 6 at 0058 UT while DXing WRNS in NC, I unavoidably hear KQCV Shawnee/OKC, with Bott Network promo for TWR soliciting kilobuck contributions in order to send 10,000 radios to China so that the Gospel can be heard!! Is there a shortage of SW radios in China? Guess where they are manufactured? Nor is a myriad of radios even a drop in the sinogigabucket. But a sucker is born again every minute (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, July 6 at 0057, R. Chaski carrier among the 5990 CRI/Cuba splash, but the cutoff is now well beyond likely overrun time for that: 0104:31* which is 11.5 seconds later than two days before, altho I was expecting only 10.5; variable? Wolfgang Büschel was hearing this in Germany at 0045, 6-7 Hz above 5980. And Claudio Galaz in Chile noted that the 0103-0104 feature on July 3 (and probably every day) from the relayed Red Radio Integridad was the Spanish version of `Creation Moments`, which I consider despicably anti-Science. I`m glad the signal is never good enough here to listen to the content (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330-CUSB, July 6 at 0510, no signal detectable from WBCQ, possibly propped out, but still no signal at 1239 when it should be audible if on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1676 monitoring: confirmed on Area 51 via WBCQ webcast starting on time at 0130 UT Saturday July 6 after some music fill, as AWWW must have run shorter than usual; and also JBA on 5110v around 0150. Next: Sat 1730 on WRN via WRMI 9955; Sat 2329v on WTWW-2 9930 (or Sun 0000 on 5085 like last week?); Sun 0400.5 on WTWW-1 5830; Sun 2330v on WTWW-2 9930. Also could appear any day, any time between 17 and 24 on 9930, 00-01 on 5085. Sun 0630, 1030, 1430, 1830 tests planned via Hamburger Lokalradio, Göhren, Germany, 1 kW on 15785-CUSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. KVOH QSL received in p-mail July 5 for e-mail report to Ray Robinson of the June 29 test on 17775. Obverse has full color atlas map of Americas in skewed projexion with three concentric uncalibrated coverage patterns toward Mexico, Caribbean, S America. Full data on reverse, and boxes available to check reasons for not verifying report --- but one must get the card anyway to say so. Mine is checked as ``able to verify`` for 6-29-2013 on 17775 at 1902-2043. Here it is:http://www.w4uvh.net/kvoh1.jpg

** U S A. 95.1, July 6 at 0053 UT, searching for something besides unID classical on 89.3 once the Es MUF pokes into the FM band, there are three stations here mixing, rap, gospel and C&W, one too many for OK and KS. Luckily, at 0054 ID by YL DJ as ``Your Country 95.1, WRNS``. Tho I have the call, searching slogan on WTFDA FM db goes right to this 100/100 kW in Kinston NC. See also OKLAHOMA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15150, July 6 at 0519, 1 kHz tone for the third night in a row. This time there are no Mideast signals on 19m, hi-latitudes outblacked, just much stronger ones from Australia, with Rwanda 15275 and Madagascar 15400 also in sufficiently. Comparing, the 15150 signal is most similar to 15400.

At 0522 I find a duplicate 1 kHz tone JBA on 17690, likely same unknown site testing; only other sigs on 16m and only slightly better than 17690, are Australia 17750, Saipan 17855, and some JBA music on 17490, scheduled as IBB Udorn in Tibetan, ergo just as likely to be a Chicom jammer.

On two radios I monitor both 15150 and 17690 whether they cut off at same time 0529 like 15150 did last night: No, 15150 now stays until 0531* (and still no sign of Iran scheduled from 0530), while 17690 tone is still JBA when I quit a couple minutes later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 89.3, July 6 at 0031 UT, classical music in stereo, Beethoven`s Eighth, atop new semi-local KIEL; obviously sporadic E opening going for some hours has finally reached this far west and this far up in MUF. Searching classical format on the WTFDA db for this frequency finds plenty, but since I later get NC on 95.1, how about this state? WTEB New Bern might be, except checking their own schedule, not classical during the evenings. Maybe WSCI Charleston SC or some other neighboring state. I see that this week`s San Francisco Symphony release from WFMT network includes Beethoven`s Seventh, not close enough (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AUSTRALIA. Re my July 4 log of RA on 9580 with a forum from Indonesia at 1220-1240, Robin Harwood, Tasmania replies:

``The Resurrection PM, Kevin Rudd happened to be in Indonesia and  wondering if this was the forum he was going to address.``

Jerry Lenamon, Waco, explains: ``This was a feed from a TV program called "Q & A", often heard at 1135z, but not every day (I think it's usually on Mondays). The feed usually ends just before the news at 1200.

The RA online schedule doesn't show it, but I hear it regularly during the ABC News Radio "Live Talk" news broadcast with Tracee Hutchison that RA feeds from 0900 to 1200. In addition to airing on RA it also airs in about 80 markets in Australia (with 3 more pending).

The paragraph below is a show description copied from the ABC website.
`ABC NewsRadio Evenings, in conjunction with Radio Australia. Continuous news, finance, sport & features, with headlines every 15 minutes - with: Tracee Hutchison` JL`` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOLIVIA. 5952+, July 5 at 0058, no signal from Radio Pío Doce, Siglo Veinte, after finding other Bols, 6135- R. Santa Cruz in at usual good level, and 6155-, R. Fides music audible with CCI from India`s LAH. Come to think of it, XII may have been absent for a few days now. It had been the #2 CP signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 4915, July 5 at 0051, pop music in Portuguese, fair signal once again strongest of all ZYs on the 60mb, 4885 being second, but with CODAR QRM. 0102 ID ``1,230, a Rádio Daqui``. (I thought they said 1,260, but listed on 1230) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 6-meter Es maps show activity to the northeast of here the morning of July 5, so I aim that way and monitor channel A2. At 1600 UT, in fades a signal with large grafix, NEWS NOON FROM GLOBAL TORONTO, and out in less than a minute. May we assume this would not also be carried in Manitoba at 11 am local? In that case it has to be CIII-TV-2, 100 kW in Bancroft, Ont., per Bill Hepburn`s ch 2 map and W9WI.com  I wonder what has become of the two CTV 100 kW in Ontario, Wiarton and SS Marie --- are they still on and in analog? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 15170, July 5 at 0530 I am hearing fluttery Chinese instead of Arabic from Saudi Arabia as earlier. Aoki shows BSKSA at 03-06 collides with CRI in Chinese at 04-06, first hour via Kashi-Saibagh 2022 site in Mandarin, this hour in Cantonese via Jinhua Youbu 831 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake, July 5 before 1300:

Otherwise only CNR1 to be heard on ex-FD frequencies:
15900, fair at 1220 and still at 1258
13970, very poor with het at 1258
13830, poor at 1258; none audible in the 12s, 14s, 16s, 17s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CONGO DR [non]. 11690, July 5 at 0456, zero signal here despite HFCC registration showing R. Okapi planned to reactivate July 1 via BaBcoCk via South Africa: ``11690 0400 0500 52E MEY 250 340 0 416 1234567 010713 271013 D 11875 French AFS BAB BAB 19051``

Website http://radiookapi.net/ mentions only FM frequencies in ten cities. Nothing significant from internal site search on 11690 and 11.690; and ``ondes courtes`` was last mentioned (in passing) in a story from Feb 24, 2012 about its tenth anniversary. Altho 10 probably low-powered FM transmitters are hardly enough to cover that large country, it appears that R. Okapi has given up on SW which would have filled in all the gaps, instead promoting FM and online listening.

Okapi`s sole SW hour was still listed in WRTH 2013 in the Target section; in the national section page 169, R. Okapi is shown with 22 FM transmitters powered 1 to 5 kW. But to be certain, we need to check 11690 earlier in the 0400 hour; or not: June 19 at 0452 it was absent, I reported. When did it quit? The last logs we can find of 11690 were 10 March 2013. HFCC also anticipated it resuming 1 May, but this never happened. Perhaps BaBcoCk keeps re-registering it, hoping against hope.

``Inactive at time of publication`` of the WRTH A-13 update 22 May.
BTW, a 2-page update to that has just been issued July 5, nothing new about Okapi:http://www.wrth.com/files/WRTH2013IntRadioSuppl3_A13SchedulesUpdate.pdf

** GERMANY [non]. 15275, July 5 at 0533, DW English only via RWANDA, and reliably good here far beyond W African target, with more excellent documentary reportage, first about bauxite mining in Guinea, a major source for vital aluminum, yet without benefiting the people there; next about fracking for natural gas in Poland; 0543 conserving the golden lion tamarind monkeys in Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 15630, July 5 at 0452, ERA fair signal but undermodulated as usually the case now; this rump ERA continues to broadcast in defiance of the government abolishing it last month (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUATEMALA [and non]. 4055, July 5 at 0103.5, ``exactamente las 7 de la noche, 2 minutos, en Radio Verdad``, then `Lectura Biblica y Comentario`. Poor signal will improve after sunset, but still on the air.

I would discourage announcers everywhere from asserting the term ``exactly`` in timechecks unless they are plugged into WWV. While it may sound impressive, it only makes them sound foolish. RHC`s ``exact`` timechex ``in the whole national territory`` are often a minute off, unlike Radio Reloj. One can easily be almost a minute wrong, by only consulting a digiclock which flips once per minute, with no display of seconds even if set accurately (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 13695, July 5 at 1228, enjoyable lively S Asian songs, maybe film music, occasional brief announcements; fair with flutter but best signal from India now. It`s the AIR Telugu service via Bengaluru at 1215-1245. 1238 two ``All India Radio`` IDs pronounced as in English among the Telugu talk; 1243 mentions kHz a couple times, ``namaskar`` in sign-off but more music until 1245 open carrier until turned off at 1246:45* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9525.9, July 5 at 1252, very poor signal from VOI, but bits of talk modulation, presumably Japanese this hour, upon giveaway off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, July 5 at 0050, R. Chaski carrier audible at usual very poor but steady level. Unfortunately I stayed on 4055 Guatemala a few seconds too long and missed the Chaski cutoff, already gone when I retuned at 0105. But I am confident that it would have been at 0104:24.75 or so, 5.25 seconds later than yesterday, which may also be interpolated after the next check July 6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1676 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-1, 9479, Thursday July 4 at 2100.5. (Missed checking 0330v UT Friday on WWRB 5050; can anyone confirm this week?) Next:

Sat 0130v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB; Sat 0630 & 1430 on HLR 7265-CUSB; Sat 1500 & 1730 on WRMI 9955; Sat & Sun 2329v on WTWW-2 9930; UT Sun 0400.5 on WTWW-1 5830; Sun 0630, 1030, 1430, 1830, testing on HLR 15785-CUSB; Tue 1100 on WRMI 9955; Wed 0630 & 1430 on HLR 7265-CUSB; maybe also Wed 1630 on 15785-CUSB as previous week (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12105, July 5 at 1300 tune-in to hear how WTWW starts up, since it`s regularly heard later in this hour in Russian. Nothing there at first but Chinese from KSDA and CODAR. WTWW cuts on at *1302:08 with Russian Bible in progress, no ID or sign-on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Nothing propagating on 21 MHz broadcast or hambands, July 5 at 1342, until I encounter very weak USB contacts on 21290. Sounds like a contest with lots of stations calling another, some from Europe and some from USA. Eventually becomes clear that the focus of this activity is K2K in New Hampshire. At 1403 his signal really comes up as he rotates antenna toward us instead of Europe. This is part of the ``13 Colonies`` special event, as hams come up with artificial calls and activity to maintain interest, explained here in OPDX (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Viz.:

13 COLONIES (Special Event). Just a reminder that the annual "13 Colonies Special Event" will take place between 1300z, July 1st and 0400z July 6th. There will be at least two stations from each on the 13 colonies on the air, as well as Super contest stations, multi-operator Club stations and OM and XYL teams.

The U.S. original 13 colonies are CT-DE-GA-MA-MD-NC-NH-NJ-NY-PA-RI-SC-VA. Special events stations mentioned are:
K2A (NY), K2B (VA), K2C (RI), K2D (CT), K2E (DE), K2F (MD), K2G (GA),
K2H (MA), K2I (NJ), K2J (NC), K2K (NH), K2L (SC), K2M (PA) and WM3PEN.

The theme for 2013 will be "Banners of the Revolution". The certificate is printed on heavy card stock. Stations working one state, or as many as all 13, will be eligible for the certificate. A "Clean Sweep" indicator will be affixed for those lucky enough to "Q" all 13. A special endorsement will be attached for stations contacting their sister operation, WM3PEN, in Philadelphia, PA.

All HF bands will be in play except the WARC bands and 60 meters. 2 meters and 6 meter simplex are encouraged. All modes of operation should be represented - SSB, CW, RTTY, Digital, and the Satellites. The mode of operation is up to the individual colony state station. For more details on the stations, suggested frequencies, QSL info and on how to obtain the special certificate, see:http://www.13colonies.info

UNIDENTIFIED. 15150, July 5 at 0449, the 1 kHz continuous tone test is back 24 hours after last heard. It`s a good steady signal, lite fading, quite unlike 15170 Saudi and 15110 Tatarstan non, both poor with flutter, so I doubt it`s Iran. This time I stay awake until 0530 to hear what happen when Iran is supposed to start this frequency in Arabic. Tone and carrier cut off just in time at 0529, but nothing further audible. If these keep up, would those with direxional antennas or other means of locating source please try to do so! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AFGHANISTAN [non]. 11545, July 4 at 0352, presumed Salam Watandar, with calm talk in presumed Pashto, SINPO 25222, as now scheduled 0230-0400 via Kostinbrod, BULGARIA (according to Ivo Ivanov, instead of Tiganeshti, Romania as he first thought since he can also hear groundwave harmonics on 23090 and 31230).

Several tries here for the other broadcast at 1330-1500 on 15615 have been fruitless, including July 4 at 1400, not even a carrier between WEWN 15610 and WEWN spur 15619, neither of which were strong.

This is not a clandestine (except perhaps to the Taliban), but a target broadcast by an FM network from Afghanistan, adding SW relays back to fill in coverage gaps. ``Hello Countrymen`` was set up by USAID in 2003y, was also on SW for a while in 2004, and since 2012 is now `independent``.

** AUSTRALIA. 9580, July 4 at 1220, RA with town hall/panel forum about Indonesia, apparently from Indonesia, discussing Papua separatism, where the foreign press has been banned; suspicions that Australia is promoting this, not to mention US marines installed in Darwin. Yet neighbors Australia and Indonesia need to work together for mutual benefit. Ended abruptly at 1240 as satellite time was about to expire: host identified the panelists but not the name of the program or the provenance. Right on to `Album of the Week` starting at odd time. What I heard does not match at all RA`s online program schedule for Pacific stream: Thursday ``1200`` Asia Pacific, 1230 World Football Weekly! (and same for Asia at this hour) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake [non], July 4 at 0450, CNR1 jamming poor on 14800. This will have to substitute for my usual bandscans in the 12-14 period today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 17575, July 4 at 1256-1300* nice erhu music, no announcements until cutoff; must have been fill after the CRI Russian hour as scheduled, 500 kW due northwest from SZG site but sufficient here to the northeast, as good as neighbor Cuba 17580.

BTW, occupancy of the 16m band is very strange, but somewhat understandable. Besides being almost vacant in our afternoons, in our mornings hardly anything is heard above 17730 Cuba. Most of the stations stick to the lower part of the band down to 17500, to have a very slight MUF advantage (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGSET)

** CUBA. 11920, July 4 at 0352, RHC Spanish with very weak signal on a new spot, // but an echo apart from 9810. Obviously this is a leapfrog mixing product between the two strong signals on 11760 and 11840, another 80 kHz higher. Similar audible in the other direxion on 11680 (which is a fundamental until 0400). 11840 modulation is somewhat suppressed and distorted compared to loud & clear 11760.

5010 approx., July 4 at 0451, stray pulse jammer comes and goes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MALAYSIA. 9835, July 4 at 1210 Qur`an, so suspected the recitation competition Ron Howard has been hearing from RTM, but 1212 into variety of music, so apparently not now; good signal but with flutter, our best bet by far for Malaysia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 15720, July 4 at 0448, no signal from RNZI which is normally quite good, and Australia was inbooming on 15515, 15240 and 15160. Must be off the air (or on totally wrong frequency as sometimes happens, like 7330, computer programming screwup?). Nor any signal on 11725 at 0515, nor DRM on 11675. Next check at 1218, correct 9700 is on the air with `Checkpoint`, usual deficient signal here aimed at Timor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1676 monitoring: first broadcast confirmed on WRMI, UT Thursday July 4 at 0331 on webcast, 0351 check on 9955, vs. Cuban pulse jamming, but WOR mostly readable. Next:

WOR also can appear any day, any time on WTWW-2 between 1700-2400 on 9930, 0000-0100 on 5085.

As Dave Hughes points out reports in hfunderground.com - some pirate on 6925 AM was relaying WOR UT Thursday around 0200; ``thanks for the rebroadcast`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12105, July 4 at 1403, WTWW-3 Bible Worldwide is in Arabic, probably just switched from Russian at 1300; never on the air before then. Also with CCI, which is KSDA in Chinese at 11-15, as the FCC unwisely and unnecessarily assigns two US SW stations to the same frequency at the same time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11550, July 4 at 1243 tune-in, minute of dead air (totally, not merely a pause with rustling or dinging sounds), then 1244 mass cuts on in English, with Spanish voice-over translation. Clear here but // 12050 with squeal from the perpetually defective WEWN transmitter. The translations are obviously scripted rather than processed in real time thru a brain, just as the order of the mass is scripted, the same stuff over and over ad infinitum (but I assume the bored voice-overer is paying some attention to be sure he is matching what is being pontificated). When the mass goes into crude singing in Latin, there is no attempt to translate, as no one is supposed to understand that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15150, July 4 at 0446-0516+ continuous 1 kHz tone, good signal, no breaks at hourtop or anywhen. Nothing scheduled until 0530 Iran in Arabic via Zahedan. Terry Krueger also suspected this source with music at 1306-1329* Dec 23, 2012 as in DXLD 13-01. But I would not be surprised if it be some BaBcoCk test and/or a new transmitter/site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOLIVIA. 6155-, July 4 at 0101, presumed R. Fides, with YL talking including possible mentions of Bolivia. JBA LAH from presumed India not so off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 4915, July 4 at 0052, JBA carrier here, could be the other ZY if R. Daqui is again absent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 9965, July 3 at 2259-2302, R. Cairo English to N. America is instead tone test, but sufficient level atop the buzz. One might be interested in how they treat the latest coup. Too busy with WORLD OF RADIO to check further until 0021 UT July 4, now with vocal music, undermodulated; same at 0051 after out of English.

How about the 0200-0300 broadcast in ``English`` on 9720? At 0215 UT July 4 when there should be news, unmodulated. But it doesn`t take a coup for R. Cairo to accomplish this. Morsi deserved to go for not fixing Radio Cairo (hi).

The other nominal English to W Europe and onward to N America is at 2115-2245 on 11890, unchecked yet.

WRN had been providing R. Cairo audio on demand, but even worse, John Figliozzi finds that there`s nothing there for the past month (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, July 4 at 0051, R. Chaski with some audio; carrier cutoff at 0104:19.5* which is 5.5 seconds later than last night. The split-seconds are just my approximations, roughly halfway between the numbers ticking away on my digital watch (as always with a WWV correxion). For a closer estimate we need to compare to the time a certain number of days earlier, such as:

``5980, May 16 at 0059, R. Chaski carrier detectable until cut off the air at 0100:02*, which is 5 seconds later than yesterday. At this rate it will take roughly 70 days to reach 0106 and another timer reset.``

That is, over a period of 50 days from May 15 to July 4, the cutoff has precessed 4 minutes and 22.5 seconds later = 262.5 seconds, which divided by 50 = 5.25 seconds per day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [non]. Having failed to replace WYFR with some other relay to N America, how can R. Taiwan International now be heard? Theoretically it looks like the English relays via France to S Asia at 16-17 on 15485, and to Africa at 17-18 on 15690 should be possible, and maybe will be on a better day, but July 3 at 1657, no signal on 15485 (off already?), and at 1700 nothing but a JBA carrier on 15690. BTW, Alan Roe tells me that RTI quoted my e-mail about the need for a new relay, on their mailbag this week, ``We`ve Got Mail`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1676, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1676 monitoring: completed in time for first airing on WRMI, 9955, UT Thursday July 4 at 0330; repeats are Sat 1500 & 1730, Tue 1100.

On WTWW: Thu 2100.5 on 9479; Sat 2329v on 9930 (but last week was 0000 UT Sunday on 5085 instead); UT Sun 0400.5 on 5830; Sun 2330v on 9930. Also new or previous WOR any day, any time between 17 & 24 on 9930, 00-01 on 5085. (This week it showed up Tuesday at 2329.)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5925-5965 approx., July 4 at 0058, extremely distorted modulation is spreading roughly here wideband, worse in open spots, but audible also under WWCR 5935 PMS. Otherwise peak circa 5955 mixed with Cuban jamming against no Radio República. Sounds like a silly ballgame with hyperenthusiasm, could well be in Spanish. R. Nacional, Argentina, 6060 transmitter has been reported way out of whack in the 5920-5930 area by Argentines, but this seems stronger than it could manage so far away; only one receiver on the porch, so I can`t hunt for parallel matches (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

15505, July 3 at 1358, JBA carrier with tone; no IS or TS heard past 1400, but started talking just before 1401 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOLIVIA. 6154.95 approx., July 3 at 0056, rock music, 0058 YL DJ, more music past 0100; 0102 announcement possibly mentioning Fides, but too much noise, and after 0100 splatter from RHC 6165 IS. No het this time from India, however (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 4915, July 3 at 0054, music here, so one of the Brazilians is on and propagating, unlike last night, probably R. Daqui. This time the one on 4885 is noticeably stronger, but several other ZY frequencies are JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, July 1 at 1859 I am on the porch trying for at least a carrier from LRA36, and there it is – definitely a JBA signal on 15476, but I soon must evacuate since the neighbor`s lawn is starting to get sprayed with some noxious chemical (which is why mine grows natural weeds and his doesn`t). Back at 1946 I can still whiff it, but the carrier is still there too for my auditory sensors, JBA and of course, weaker than BBC Arabic on 15480 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOLIVIA [and non]. 6155-, July 2 at 0056, lo audible heterodyne (LAH) between two close stations, the stronger of which is slightly on the lo side. Mostly YL talk, and cadence sounds Spanish. Not helped by lots of static crashes, and from 0100, RHC cutting 6165 on and off, from 0103 staying on it with splatter out to here. 0108 a bit stronger, still LAH, 0113 into praise music. Surely presumed R. Fides, which everyone reporting it recently puts on the lo side of 6155 as lo as 6154.93 but now it`s higher, maybe 6154.96 or so with that low het which per HFCC and Aoki could only be All India Radio, Aligarh, 6155, Urdu service, 250 kW, 282 degrees per HFCC, but 500 kW, 325 degrees per Aoki, surely the peak hour to hear it way over here. Could Fides also be on old // 9625? We`ll never know with all that DRM noise from REE Costa Rica. Recheck at 0158-0200, 6155- is still on but the splash from RHC is even worse. Fides sign-off has been reported at 0200, and
 WRTH 2013 daggers it as irregular. Meanwhile, 6135-, R. Santa Cruz was much, much stronger, still on at 0200; Brasil SRDA 6120 audible too an hour earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 4915, July 2 at 0058, R. Daqui is off again, vis-à-vis poor carriers on other 60m ZY frequencies such as 4885, 4925; but plenty of CODAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6165, July 2 at 0100, RHC is cutting on and off the air in Spanish instead of English; then off a bit until staying on in English from 0103. Bad news for R. Fides on 6155; see BOLIVIA.

5040, July 2 at 0105, RHC Spanish on this frequency suffers from squeal by defective modulator (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1050, July 1 at 1144 UT, XEG Monterrey NL is still in, some guy making a funny voice and repeatedly mis-gendering ``la programa``, ha ha, in taking phone calls from people with normal voices.

1570, XERF Ciudad Acuña also still in July 1 at 1150 UT with mañanitas and servicio social announcements, mostly missing persons, but also a dog and a job opening; fading out by 1155 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 88.1, July 1 at 2348 UT I have the TV antenna toward NE hoping to capture edge of Es opening, but instead I hear stronger signal than last time of ham repeater ID every 7+ minutes, which I copy this time: N5LWT/R --- ARRL lookup leads to Worth, Thomas A, N5LWT, at 2302 Eucalyptus Ave, Enid OK 73701, but not for the repeater with his call.

Googling on N5LWT does find it listed as a repeater here:http://www.aresok.org/drillmap.asp?level=3&zone=1&district=4&code=24
showing outputs at 147.3750 and 444.8250 MHz. I suppose the 2m one is more likely to produce an image if not spur on the FMBC band, but I haven`t figured out the formula, if it involves the receiver 10.7 MHz IF on the FM band (55.845 MHz and 450 kHz on LW/MW/SW). Ideas? Leaving 88.1 on for some minutes, I`ve yet to hear any QSOs, just the automatic ID.

BTW, I am listening on the ATS-909 with whip antenna only, but it and other receivers in the shack are obviously affected by the C-490 UHF/VHF TV antenna maybe 25-30 feet away, without any direct connexion to it, but to TVs nearby; as rotating it causes weaker FM signals to fade up and down, even tho the amp on the antenna has the FM filter engaged. Signals just bouncing off the elements? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. We may have expected WWCR-1 to glom onto 6115 as soon as WYFR abandoned it, per HFCC registrations effective July 1, but they did not: July 2 at 0054 check, still on 6875 and not 6115, with financial huxter. But they do have dibs on 6115! Current WWCR website transmitter sked is effective only until July 31 still showing 6875 and after 0100, 3215 which I also confirmed at 0105 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7555, July 2 at 0106, KJES good signal in Spanish, not English, which everyone from WRTH to Aoki to DX Re Mix shows as the only language for the 0100-0230 broadcast. However, the adult pontificating Biblical stuff was speaking with a heavy Gringo accent, diphthongs here, diphthongs there, diphthongs everywhere! Instead of pure vowels in proper Spanish. Soon kids begin responding in unison. No real English heard now, but KJES has been known to go bilingual if not mix up the alleged language schedule. EiBi, however, does show Spanish 0100-0200, English 0200-0230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. QSL: card for DX test from KSEY Seymour TX, 1230, received in P-mail July 1 for print-out of log report sent by P-mail, with SASE as requested, not to station but direct to V/s and QSL manager Jim Pogue, Memphis TN, who volunteered to design and print the QSLs for this special. F/D with date 3/24/13, time 0517+ UTC. Tnx, Jim! He also enclosed a blank of his own ham QSL KH2AR. KSEY QSL:http://www.w4uvh.net/KSEY.jpg

Glenn Hauser logs June 30-July 1, 2013

** BRAZIL. 4915, July 1 at 0056, fair signal with music, and within a few seconds of tune-in, ID by Rádio Daqui. Yay, it`s back after missing a couple of nights and again the best ZY by far on the 60m band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN [non]. 7585, July 1 at 0058, fair signal with pop music, i.e. R. Farda, 250 kW, 310 degrees from Iranawila, SRI LANKA, which is on very long hours, 1700-0130 per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH. 11680, June 30 at 2024, emotional speech in Korean with background music; must be KCBS which per Aoki is on the air from 20 to 18 UT with 50 kW ND. Unusual to hear this time of day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 15540 & 17550, June 30 at 2024, R. Kuwait English & Arabic services with fair signals, as conditions have recovered somewhat (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Sporadic-E analog TV DX opening continued from previous report, which started at 1455 UT June 30:

1543 on 2, Azteca net-7 bug, stronger than some other CCI

1602 on 2, Azteca-7 in UR, with animation

1630 on 2, weak signal but now visibly soccer

1649 on 3, fade-in US sitcom, Spanish ads, video only; soon fade out along with ch 2

1715 on 2, fade-in algo

1720 on 2, ad in Spanish, video and audio

1730 on 2, animation, net-7 bug UR

1802 on 2, large font program title includes ISRAEL

1805 on 2, interview, fade-in enough to make out TeleVer bug UR: XHFM, Veracruz

1822 on 2, still same; interviewer has big boxy sign on his hand mike, unseems legend TeleVer on it, what?

1912 on 2, soccer and CCI, weak; nothing further
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, July 1 at 0054, R. Chaski usual weak but sufficient carrier until cut off at 0104:03.5* which is 5.5 seconds later than yesterday. How far will they get into the fifth minute past the hour this time before timer reset? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [non]. 15440, June 30 at *2158, sometime before 2159 the WYFR carrier cuts on, 2200 opening RTI relay for the *last* time, local quality signal, with just enough lite selective fading once in a while to remind us this is via the dynamic medium of international shortwave by ionospheric propagation. I`ve usually listened to RTI on a hit-and-miss basis, but on this momentous occasion I monitor the entire hour (as re-relayed from the shack FRG-7 by feeder on 88.1 MHz thruout the house to several FM radios).

News starts with record heat wave in Taibei; 2205 `Week in Review`; 2208 plug `new` website http://english.rti.org.tw and `This Day in History`: 1859y, Niagara Falls tightrope stunt; 1894, Tower Bridge opens in London; 1990, E&W Germany merge economies with DM for both; outro by Andrew Ryan

2210, plug upcoming shows `Chinese To Go`, `Soundwaves`, but first: `Here In Taiwan` for Monday, July 1: soft stories such as an ATM at a supermarket which keeps shocking people, bad grounding?; huge lines of people applying for flight attendant jobs, which may not be as glamourous as they think; ghost sightings

2225, `Chinese to Go`, learning to say ``give up your seat``, as in a courtesy by younger people to older people on bus, not always willing

2231, rock music, must be `Soundwaves`, or fill? 2247 Chinese performer, songs titled ``If`` and at 2255 ``Do You Know``.

2258-2300 canned announcement of entire RTI English schedule including the canceled WYFR relays as if they will still exist, and mixing in low-power MW relays via US stations on 1210, 750, without saying where they are!

There was NO mention during this broadcast that it would be the final one on SW to North America! So much for historical perspective.

2300 WYFR ID in Chinese (no English) and right into a Chinese dialect.

[see USA: WYFR final log in the interim]

UT July 1 on 6115, reception is never as solid as on 15440, but recheck after Family Radio`s own finale at 0300 UT: this RTI relay is obviously a repeat of the one 5 hours earlier, same news of heatwave, etc. And spotchecked, not listening to whole thing again.

Concludes with ``This is WYFR, Okeechobee, Florida`` at 0400 and pulled the big switch, off at 0400:04* July 1, 2013 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 6115, monitoring the last few minutes of WYFR, UT July 1 from 0245, playing ``Onward Christian Soldiers`` and ``Battle Hymn of the Republic``, other hymns by chorus and orchestra interspersed with brief Bible verses by non-Harold Camping announcer as ``Words to Live By`` --- probably regular programming; fade out at 0259 for ``It`s people just like you who [illegible] at the ministry of Family Radio``. Last words? Not quite, after almost minute of dead air, ``This is WYFR, Okeechobee, Florida`` ID, and opening RTI repeat --- see TAIWAN [non]

After that hour, another legal ID as above spanning 0400 and carrier cut forever at 0400:04*. Nothing ever heard to the effect that this was the end of an era on shortwave.

Family Radio has not given any hint about what will become of the 14-transmitter Okeechobee facility, but we hope it will live on with some other identity, preferably secular. How about multiple NPR program streams? Dream on.

From tomorrow we expect to hear WWCR on 6115 ex-6875, but only at 2100-0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 4840, UT Monday July 1 at 0400-0430, enjoying the full ``Talking Machine Show`` of old wax cylinder music, a fragment of which we heard on an earlier airing. Excellent signal as always on this WWCR intruder into the 60m tropical/utility band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9930, Sunday June 30 at 2025 check, WTWW-2 is not on air, nor is WTWW-3 12105. However at 2150, 9930 is on with Martha Garvin. Perhaps schedule reduced to purchased time after 2100? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1675 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-2, 9930, Sunday June 30 starting at 2328:35. Next: Tuesday 1100 on WRMI 9955; Wednesday 0630 & 1430 on HLR 7265-CUSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ZANZIBAR. 11735, June 30 at 2023, very poor signal with music, presumed ZBC active again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
