Glenn Hauser logs August 5-6, 2013

** CUBA. 6060, August 6 at 0542, RHC English modulation is somewhat suppressed and distorted, compared to the other four overkill frequencies.


9955, August 6 at 0544, heavy pulse jamming with tones against nothing, just like weaker signal on 9565 against nothing, as the stupid DentroCuban Jamming Command ignores the fact that WRMI and Radio Martí are not even on the air at this time (WRMI silent period is currently 0500-1000) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, August 6 at 1300, VOI is detectable but so weak and so undermodulated as to be useless as always; since it`s Tuesday, the day for hookup with RRI Banjarmasin in ``Exotic Indonesia``, I fire up the computer earlier than usual at 1320 to listen online. Get it right away at http://en.voi.co.id/ and can also see a still & vacant control room on the audio + video player; is it really ``live``? The timer on the players stays at 00:00 tho it is really running, and careful not to get two of them at once unsynchronized.

The 2013 Quiz questions are being presented at 1323, and time is running out, deadline August 10. Not only must you answer six questions from easy, to researching on the RRI website, but you must also send a photocopy of your valid passport. Hint: last year there were five winners of a ``Familiarization Trip`` Sept 10-16, 2012, per the banner they were holding:
http://en.voi.co.id/voi-program-highlight/4461-international-quiz-2013
VOI puts its resources into trips rather than effective SW transmission.

1326 on to `Indonesian Wonders`, and then language lesson, `Let`s Speak Bahasa Indonesia``, already too advanced for me, to be continued tomorrow. 1339, `Music Corner`. By now it`s obvious there is nothing from Banjarmasin this Tuesday, but ``reception`` is superb online. Until song ends at 1347, then dead webair except for some hum. Turns out I just need to restart the player for more music. 1402 ID with the three imaginary SW frequencies and into Indonesian warta berita.

Ron Howard was listening on SW to the earlier exotic English hour at 1000 today, when they had trouble making phone connexion with Bali but finally succeeded (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1000, August 6 at 0600 UT as I am trying to catch an ID from KKIM Albuquerque running day power at night [see USA] and QRMing KTOK, all I hear instead is a KTOK ID as also carried on KXXY-96.1 FM HD2, a new development? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, August 6 at 0059 tracking the JBA carrier from R. Chaski on the FRG-7, cuts off at 0100:59.5*, which is 33 seconds later than two nights ago, violating the traditional 5.25-seconds-later-pattern per 24 hours. What`s going on? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 13635, August 6 at 0549, Turkish music is unusually audible next to stronger 13630 Australia which is ACIing it; confirmed TRT source since it`s // usual weaker 11980. Unusual because 13635 is not scheduled to start until 0600, then all the way to 1300, 500 kW, 310 degrees to W Europe and beyond that USward. So here`s another schedule extension (for Ramadan? almost over) like 9770 on air well before the 0100 Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 9885, August 6 at 0552, VOA French is barely audible underneath a much stronger open carrier: French is Botswana at 350 degrees, M-F at 0530-0600, while the carrier is Greenville already, 250 kW at 91 degrees, prior to site switch at 0600-0630 M-F. Why isn`t this warmup on a different frequency and then crash-starting on 9885 at 0600? VOA vs VOA! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15420-CUSB, August 5 at 2010 I can barely detect a JBA signal from the WBCQ preacher, but still nothing on 9330-CUSB. In the evening, early UT Aug 6 around 0100, 7490 is back on with BS. Still no 9330 audible around 1230. Propagation has been pitiful lately, but I still think that is really off the air and time for other frequencies curtailed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5935, August 6 at 0539, WWCR DGS disservice with clearly audible crosstalk from other programming, singing, more obvious by side-tuning since the audio frequencies are higher. Then matched to what`s on 3215, gospel soul music `Inspirations Across America`, same as heard 13-14 UT when 15825 is propagating. After all these years, WWCR still hasn`t managed to isolate one transmitter from another (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7555, tuning across August 6 at 0544, unxuous announcer on ``By the light of the Moon`` from WEWN is intoning ``por su dolorosa pasión``, his number-one catch-phrase which I have maintained one has a very high chance of hearing by tuning in at any random time, since he repeats it over and over and over and over --- and this reproves it. To complete the cycle, unmoved, I tune on as soon as he says it once (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1000, August 6 at 0554 UT, gospel rock/praise music is QRMing KTOK OKC [see also OKLAHOMA], dominant with KTOK nulled, and making 68/minute slow SAH with it (1.13 Hz). Could not catch an ID at 0600 but then into ``The Lord`s Prayer`` by soprano to usual hymn tune, 0602 on to preaching. I`ve also been hearing this a lot lately other nights. From previous behavior, I`m quite sure this is KKIM Albuquerque, e.g. my report 7+ months ago:

``1000, Dec 29 at 0622 UT, preacher in English in KTOK OKC null; or rather, I have to null this to hear KTOK. No doubt it`s KKIM in Albuquerque NM again, 10 kW non-direxional day pattern rather than 38 watts at night! Making heavy slow SAH of 77/minute = 1.3 Hz`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1260, August 6 at 1207 UT, about flooding at Fort Leonard Wood and Waynesville, from KSGF News, ID in passing, i.e. Springfield MO, also situated on I-44 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1430, August 6 at 1210 UT, I must pause here as ``Put the Lime in the Coconut`` by Harry Nilsson is playing, 1212 ID for KZQZ. Here`s a low-res and noisy but amusing 1971y version,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tbgv8PkO9eo
perhaps inspired by the Nairobi Trio of Kovács Ernö.

KZQZ occupies what was originally WIL in St Louis MO: why would anyone give up such a neat legacy call for something so unpronounceable? Yet I`d much rather hear this than stupid sports talk from KTBZ Tulsa, which this now 50 kW station easily overrides before sunrise skip outfades. KTBZ aims mostly south, and KZQZ mostly north; and would you believe there are two other MO stations on 1430, 500 watts each? I wonder how they are coping with the enhanced radiation from the east side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VENEZUELA [non]. Ecos del Torbes (ex-4980 & 9660, IIRC) will return to SW via WRMI 9955, with a special program UT Friday August 9 at 0200, repeated 24 hours later, UT Saturday August 10 at 0200; and Saturday August 10 at 2230. Altho it will be in Spanish, it`s being heavily promoted by the CDXA club also in English:
http://www.w4uvh.net/TorbesDay.mp3

The prepeat UT Friday at 0200 was added later by Jeff White, maybe to compensate for UT/local day confusion: the promo and widely circulated publicity for this give the *wrong* UT dates for the 0200 broadcasts, but Jeff has confirmed the correct ones. Will Arnie make the Cuban jammers relent on these occasions for good ole Venezuela? Don`t count on it and be prepared to listen online for best reception (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS updated August 4:

Quite a few changes, especially to WRMI and R. Australiahttp://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html

Also updated:

World of Radio schedule:http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
73, (Glenn Hauser)

** AUSTRALIA. 9580, Monday August 5 at 1231, RA opening program ``This is Religion`` ?? --- or did she say Revision? No, of course it`s `Reah Vision`, the recent-history program, and an excellent one, this time devoted to Afghanistan and all the mistakes in US policy, depressing future. Outro plugged availability of audio and transcript, i.e. here:http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/rearvision/disengaging-in-afghanistan/4823286
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake August 5 before 1400:
11805, surprised to find it here at 1354 mixing with CNR1 jamming and VOA Chinese via SAIPAN, this hour only
13795, very poor at 1356 in mix; all sigs above 12 MHz attenuated

Non-FD CNR1 jamming August 5:
9200, very poor at 1227, // 7385
15115, poor at 1356, usual mixture
15570, JBA at 1356; no others 11-19 MHz
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9495-9515, August 5 at 1228, buzz peaking 9505, suspected from 9540 RHC transmitter which is stronger than usual and probably the same one which buzzes around 15230 sometimes; but Cubans are also on 9550, 9570 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY [non]. 15275, August 5 at 0528, DW English via RWANDA is back again after missing 24 hours earlier; ``Steven Beard, Deutsche Welle Radio, London`` outros his report for `Inside Europe`. I guess he`s a stringer, also heard on various other networx, with his distinctive voice and accent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUAM. 5765-USB, August 5 at 1204, news headlines including elevator shaft death, Filner, 1205 Al Roker and crowd applause, birthdays and weather, 1207 vamping during optional cutaway of about a semiminute for local weather (not taken here), 1208 military PSA replaces commercial on NBC-TV `Today` show via AFN; weak but sufficient (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 4750, August 5 at 1202, RRI Makassar with Indonesian talk, presumed news; with BFO it`s hard to tell whether its carrier is unstable, or QRM from a second carrier on slightly different frequency, i.e. Bangladesh or China (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. See SUDAN [non]

** MEXICO. 850, August 5, I had tuned in again before 0600 UT to rock music in English with KOA easily nulled; fortunately roused at 0607 to hear YL non-ID as ``Milenio Radio en medio de la noche``, so it`s XEM Chihuahua as suspected. I haven`t got a handle on what format Milenio employs, as have heard a variety. Anyhow, this one is not ``MEX/NWS`` as in IRCA Mexican Log 2012; it does have the correct slogan, unlike WRTH 2013 showing the former ``Renacimiento 850``. Cantú just shows:
``850 XEM Milenio Radio + FM 103.7 Chihuahua, Chih. 5000 500``
while IRCA and WRTH claim the powers are 5000/1000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Continuing sporadic E opening from previous report, August 4 UT:

1847 on 2, after lunch I find the opening has shifted to the west, now peaking SW instead of SSW; letterbox infomercial, with phone numbers, looks like call ID in upper right, but:

1852 on 2, a bit clearer, the UR word is STAR in white and another word in dark which turns out to be *VIEW. It`s for a small portable projector for presentations, etc., and keeps going past 1900, http://www.starview.mx

1901 on 4, brief MUF surge with Azteca-13 bug UR in talk show

1908 ch 2 fades out and nothing further until a few hours later:

2240 on 2, fade-in with soccer; in and out weak signals

2356 on 2, fade in credits in Spanish, producer was Tele-Universitario, then into music videos, letterboxed, bug in UL maybe for program name

2357 on 2, seems same station with MAS VISION and +v logo at 2359 so it`s XEWO-TV Guadalajara

UT August 5:

0004 on 2, drama with net-5 bug LR; unknown bug in UL

0044 on 2, Azteca-13 bug UR in variety show, good brief peak in color

0115 on 2, lucha libre

weak signals, CCI on 2 continue in and out until about 0230
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 31 & 32, KXOK-LD, Enid, August 5 at 1446 past 1600 UT, 31-3 with Azteca America! The bug in UR is clearly modeled after the Azteca Trece one we often see on DX from Mexico. Whenever checked the past several weeks, 31-3 had been black screen and silent audio, but still showing Azteca on the PSIP; 31-2 remains vacant except for M - FOX ID. One wonders whether this station has any human oversight. Its main channel 31-1 continues as TV-OK with Retro TV network. Its office in Enid on the ground floor of the Broadway Tower is still there per sign on door, and still always closed whenever I go by, as upper floors of the building are being converted into a hotel. Antenna is atop same in downtown Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1020, August 5 at 1214 UT, KOKP Perry is still/again off the air, and no Plattsmouth audible either, but back at 1550 check (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PAPUA NEW GUINEA [and non]. Since I awaken before 1200 UT August 5, I hasten to check the tropical bands for Asia: on 60m, nothing much but China on 4940, weak Indonesia on 4750; then to 90m, where at 1153 I am pleased to find the SSOB is also the best signal in a long time from PNG on 3385, i.e. Radio East New Britain, Rabaul, S9+20 playing tune resembling ``Alouette``, Tok Pisin, 1155 mentions ``ten o`clock`` which is imminent locally, more music; 1200 announcement is cut off the air at 1200.5*. Second best is 3205, which stays on with some modulation, and third, carrier from something on 3325. Nothing audible on 120m. Our sunrise today 1141, latening about one minute per day (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, August 5 at 0057, can`t detect any signal from R. Chaski, maybe because I am still inside on the FRG-7 and haven`t turned off the computer and its noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SUDAN [and non]. 15400, August 5 at 0524, just as I tune in R. Dabanga via MADAGASCAR to reconfirm the Sudanese tone-jammer is still on it (yes), I hear ``desu ka`` in Japanese, and ``Now let`s listen to ---`` in English, mixing with the Arabish. I can only conclude that Talata somehow brought up the NHK satellite feed for the 0500 English broadcast, during the JJ lesson, but so little signal on intentional relays 11970 and 5975 that I cannot make a match after that. Numerous Radio Dabanga IDs follow in next few minutes with no NHK crosstalk.

However, retrieving the feature portion of the Monday August 5 broadcast at http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/english/radio/asx/201308051430.asx
from 9:42 to 9:47 into the 15-minute file I hear that exact same bit, ``Desu ka --- Now let`s listen to today`s skit, again`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1680 monitoring: no show either on Sunday at 2330 via WTWW-2 9930, off the air. Meanwhile I heard from George McClintock explaining that there`s a water leak on the #2 transmitter`s cooling pump, and needs a new motor which will take a while to obtain and install, so meanwhile he is running #2 for minimum hours: 12-14 or maybe 15 with BS; 2100-2320 or so with other religious programs. The WOR airings were of course a bonus, anyway, but hope will eventually resume.

I happened just to have tuned down from 11930 jamming to 9930 when WTWW-2 cut on the air at *2103 August 4 with Unshackled just started.

9479, August 5 at 1330, WTWW-1 is missing, on at next check 1403
9930, August 5 at 1330, WTWW-2 is on with BS, but off at 1402 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490, Sunday August 4 at 2105 no signal detectable from WBCQ when `Marion`s Attic` is scheduled. So I try the webcast, but can`t get that to connect at either link on website; just closed down and totally off for some reason?

9330-CUSB also missing/inaudible August 5 at 1330. Program guide at http://schedule.wbcq.com/main.php?fn=sked&freq=9330
shows it is still supposed to be 24/7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 6115, UT Monday August 5 at 0055, WWCR is back on this new frequency wrapping up a program; also with a different one on 7520, and 6875 is missing, presumably what this replaced again at least for one more evening. The transmitter schedule pagehttp://www.wwcr.com/transmitter-sched.html
has now been relabeled to extend from June 1 to August 31, but no 6115 anywhere on it from any of the four transmitters! So I guess it`s still sporadic and experimental (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1270, August 5 at 1217 UT, KFLC Fort Worth TX, traffic report in Spanish mentions Árlington, non-ID as ``Univisión América 12-70``, immediately followed by ad for something on Telemundo, its huge rival on TV! Then aprender-inglés ad by Rosetta Stone, as if we are not deluged with too many RS ads already on TV featuring native speakers who can barely manage pretty-good English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VIETNAM [and non]. 7435, August 5 at 1225, Vietnamese talk and music CCI, only a fast SAH and no audible het, so VOV presumed back (almost) on-frequency from 7435.5, altho I did not measure it directly. Assumed the music would be China, but the big three skeds show nothing else on 7435 after 1200 except R. Farda, Kuwait, unlikely to be propagating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs August 3-4, 2013

** AUSTRIA [and non]. 11955, August 4 at 0516, AWR Hausa via Moosbrunn in the clear, no tone jamming, maybe because my router is unplugged for a storm? But also no tone jamming from Sudan on 11650 vs Dabanga (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake, August 4 before 1400:
13795, barely audible at 1355 mixing with Chinese, not // CNR1

Rest are CNR1 jammers:
13830, poor at 1354
13970, very good at 1354 with flutter; none in the 12s
14750, poor at 1356; none in the 15s
16100, JBA at 1358
16360, very poor at 1358; none in the 17s or 18s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11760, Sunday August 4 at 1403, RHC open carrier/deadair, with Chinese audible under, i.e. CNR1 vs Sound of Hope. Other RHC frequencies are modulating: 11690, 11750, 11860, 13780; 15230, 15340, 17580; missing from 17730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ESTONIA. 14280-USB, Aug 4 at 0538, Vello, ES5QD is making numerous US contacts in apparent contest of some sort; good signal but some flutter. QRZ.com lookup shows:

Baltic contest? See LITHUANIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY [non]. 15275, August 4 at 0545, DW English via RWANDA is missing again, leaving a big hole in the middle of the 19m band; what`s the problem? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420, August 4 at 0548, ERT with pop music, rather than Byzantine chant, which the occupiers had previously managed to maintain on Sunday mornings (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 11620, August 4 at 0053, fair signal in Asian language, must be AIR Urdu service scheduled from 0015, 240 degrees via Bengaluru per Aoki, 334 from Delhi per HFCC, which makes more sense.

9870, August 4 at 1241-1254+ enjoying Indian pop music from AIR Vividh Bharati Service, occasional Hindi announcements; instead of Cuba Campesina on 9850. Best to hear VBS now before China collides at 1300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 9730, August 4 at 0056, poor-fair signal with Qur`an. HFCC shows it`s one of the special Ramadan services from IRIB, 0030-0130, 500 kW, 310 degrees from Sirjan in Turkish, effective 9 July to 8 August only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** LITHUANIA. 14258-USB, August 4 at 0540, John, LY5A is making contest contacts with US stations including one in Louisiana where he needs to know from which parish: De Soto. QRZ.com lookup shows:

** MEXICO. 710, Aug 4 at 0558 UT, still trying to confirm the source of the off-frequency station producing a LAH to other 710s: slightly on the low side, the Chihuahua anthem is playing. It finishes at 0600 and the het goes off. The only Chih is XEDP Ciudad Cuauhtémoc. Yet I hear it other times with no het, such as 1140 UT August 4 with 20:6 timecheck, jingle as ``La Ranchera de Cuauhtémoc``. So I remain uncertain (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. No Es DX to VHF noted earlier Saturday, but turned on UT Sunday Aug 4 at 0216 with antenna still parked toward SSW, to find an ad or infomercial displaying a phone number for MTY, of 8048 4627. No bug visible. Peaked briefly to good level but soon faded out. Maps show all the 6m Es at the moment is in the NE quadrant of the USA. Another brief fade-in at 0234, nothing more. Can`t assume it`s XEFB in Monterrey since ch 34 in Monterrey is relayed on ch 2 in Saltillo (and even ch 2 in Tampico takes some programming from Monterrey, altho only in mornings, I think.)

August 4 at 1436 UT turn on and tune in ch 2 to find Es in progress, Spanish audio, antenna still SSW; generally frustrating opening with lots of QRM, nothing dominating for long.

1443 on 2, animation from Azteca net 7 bug LR

1500 on 2, CCI includes soccer from something; 1515 soccer looks like an edited playback; maybe net-7 bug UR

1519 on 2, fade-in English audio about global warming vs coral reefs; quickly rotate toward north, but lose signal, and 6m maps show no activity up there. May well be a Mexican with docu in English, subtitled as have caught previously. Back to south

1545 on 4, ads/infomercial involving luxuriant headhair on YLs

1550 on 2, heavy CCI

1555 on 3, MONEY TALKS on screen, apparently title for Spongebob which follows from Televisa net-5 as bug in LR

1556 on 2, Azeca-7 promo; CCI continues following hour on 2, 3, occasionally 4, as I am too busy compiling rest of this report

1700 on 5, MUF up to here making zero-beats with my cable leak, still so at 1726

1714 on 3, Chicago Fire promo on Canal 5, start toon with credits in English; probably XEZ.

1729 on 2, and 4, soccer, now seems live.

1730 on 2, another station inviting photos to a g-mail address

1731 on 3, lizard animation, net-5 bug LR.

1739, mostly 2, some 3 still in. To be continued? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9925, August 4 at 0056, VG signal from The Mighty KBC with rock music, via Nauen, GERMANY, in weekly 00-02 UT Sunday broadcast to N America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925-SSB, August 4 at 0550, pirate with unID music, 0554 ID as ``You`re listening to Good Old Ed Radio`` (sounded like), long pauses before and after, then ``One Night in Bangkok`` novelty tune. No, I will concede correct ID as this one at http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,12019.0.html ---

``Turtle Head Radio 6925USB *0545-0613* 4Aug13 Recorder Catch on 6925USB THR heard here with a show of music from 1985 (Dire Straits, Don Henley). Very solid signal here. Thanks THR! Joe Farley, SDR-IQ/R8, Remote Resonant Loop/ALA 1530, near Chicago in a little dot on The Weather Channel Local Forecast Map`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1020, August 4 before and after 1200 UT, KOKP Perry is off the air, ceding frequency to Mexican music, no doubt KMMQ in Nebraska (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OMAN. 9760, August 4 at 0002, Arabic from RSO back on scheduled frequency, also at 0056; modulation is somewhat muffled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, August 4 at 0100-0100:26.5*, R. Chaski cutoff check still using the main FRG-7 rig to avoid the porch mosquitoes. That`s 5 seconds later than yesyterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 15620, August 3 at 2240, American gospel huxter, weaker than 15630 Greece but stronger than 15610 WEWN. Soon found also on // 15390 at about equal level. Soon also found // WWRB 9370 but 4 seconds ahead of it, ergo The Overcomer Ministry but a non-Brother Scare preaching at the moment. Per Ivo Ivanov, these are new relays via Nauen, GERMANY at 21-23, 125 kW each to North and South America, respectively. Who needs yet another frequency to North America, with all the frequencies he already has from within North America? Both are already off at 2259 check, and Greece has switched from 15630 to 15650 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9770, August 4 at 0056, ME music, presumably Turkish, again heard here next to 9760 Oman, altho TRT is not supposed to start 9760 until 0100 for Spanish; would expect IS only at this prélude time; Ramadan extension? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7345-SSB, August 4 at 1313, Navy MARS net with NNN0TWA talking about getting out his weed-eater; must be informal segment. Hardly need BFO with weak broadcaster serving, i.e. Thazin Radio Myanmar, or much more likely, CNR1.
Jim, in Tennessee is pixured on page 1 of this:http://navymars.org/central/area/Newsletter/2013/TRIAD%20Vol%20IX%20Issue%202.pdf
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 7490, August 3 at 2251 WBCQ is missing, tho there is a weak signal on 7495 = Algeria via France; WBCQ also missing from 9330, despite bigsigs from other US stations on 9930, 9479, 9370, 9350, even 9265. Is there a thunderstorm over Monticello again? Not per NWS radar.

7490 & 9330 still AWOL August 4 at 0002 check, and at 0054; but at 0057, 7490 has come on with the WBCQ IS & ID loop seldom caught on this frequency, but normally at 1355-1400 Saturdays on 15420. 5110-CUSB is also now on with Radio TimTron, maybe came on much earlier? It was inaudible at the 0002 check.

At 0101 I find that 7490 is now starting VSI Radio International, the purchased time from the pirate in Sweden. Says he is halfway thru his (summer?) season, and is considering whether to keep going all year; depends on how popular this Saturday night timeslot is. This week will play more music than monolog, and also mailbag. Tho requested to do so, says he is not going to talk about the Israel/Palestine issue here. So Allan Weiner was not doing his pirate-history show of vintage recordings before it this week, and maybe not after it either, unchecked. I never saw it on the WBCQ 7490 program guide, and now I see that VSI is the *only* show listed for Saturday/UT Sunday, i.e. at 01-02.

9330-CUSB is still/again off/inaudible August 4 at 1306 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5050, Saturday August 3 at 2255, I notice that WWRB is already on the air with preacher, not // 9370 TOM. Usually starts at 0000, I think, or even later, depending I suppose on day of week and time sold (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9930, Saturday August 3 at 2327, WTWW-2 is missing, so no WORLD OF RADIO to be heard in a few minutes; 5085 also missing after 0000. 9479 and 12105 are still on. Could be due to maintenance requirements: George McClintock often advises about repairs completed, which must require downtime; he has a stock of spare parts for just about everything. 9930 is back on the air after 1200 with the new Brother Scare transmission, but off again at 1405, altho supposedly scheduled until 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1680 monitoring: unfortunately missed one of our best weekly chances, as WTWW-2 was off the air from 9930 Saturday August 3 at 2330, nor on 5085 after 0000. Better luck 24 hours later? Did make it on usual WTWW-1 time of UT Sunday 0400.5 on 5830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1110, August 4 at 1210 UT, Qur`an audible with KFAB nulled, poor and fading; presumably KVTT Mineral Wells TX. We are certainly multi-cultural, but it still seems a bit odd to be hearing such on MW instead of SW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1270, August 4 at 1221 UT, Univisión Radio, signal peaking clearly audiblizing IBOC noise above and below, bothering 1260 and 1280 stations, i.e. KFLC Fort Worth TX; 1223 ID only as ``Univisión América, 12-70 AM``, romantic music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1300, August 4 at 1231, ``Sportstalk AM 1300, The Zone, live from Austin``, then `Sunday Sportsman` show about bass fishing; KVET Austin TX (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1370, August 4 at 1220 UT, ad from someone in the Austin area with an 800 number, so must be KJCE officially in Rollingwood TX, address in Austin (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1480, Sunday August 4 at 1214 UT, outro of Frank & Ernest show with 1-800-254-DAWN. This is not a comic strip, but some preachers, apparently a JW offshoot; sketchy info about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_and_Ernest_%28broadcast%29

1215 ID for KBXD, Dallas, and into Elder Jacob O. Meyer`s `Sacred Name Broadcast` from the Assemblies of Yahweh on I-78 in Bethel PA. Sound familiar? He also mentions his SW station, which is the long-silent WMLK. Meyer is also long-silent, having died in 2010y, but sounds quite lively here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1510, August 4 at 1158 UT, ad endorsement from someone with ``Sports Radio 810``. That fits for KCTE Independence MO, as it`s axually at the same studio address in Overland Park as WHB, so a sub-station of it; no LAH, so is KCTE now on-frequency? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 850, August 4 at 1144 UT, rock music in English is audible with KOA nulled (hardly necessary weak, SAH), fades completely out at 1145, surges 1148, YL partial ID as ``Radio Alegre``, fades out again. Looped approx. NE/SW. Could be US or Mexican? No such slogan found on 850 in any of the lists or general Googling (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13910-SSB, August 4 at 0520, some kind of American military tactical net, voice contacts involving fonetik calls 6FW, 1BX, and at 0532, 6ML and 6PH; in between playing with various digital modes of traffic-sending for about a minute each. 1BX acted like the boss of this group. At 0522, 1BX said ``let me contact Desert Eagle``; one mode mentioned was MT63(?); one time agreed to ``sending at slower speed``.

Ron in Maryland had reported to UDXF yg last Feb Desert Eagle on 13910.5, instead of Army MARS. Of the 50,871 posts so far in the UDXF yg, I get no significant hits searching on any of the four tactical calls, with or without 13810, 13.810. Or they could be abbreviated, with Army MARS prefices omitted. More Googling found Desert Eagle reported on 14484 in Sept, 2011 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BANGLADESH. 15505, August 2 at 1359 BB IS, very poor but enough to detect the 5+1 ``time`` signal, now ending at 1400:11, opening Urdu. Lately the BB studio clock has been running slow instead of fast. Date correct; JBA 24 hours later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake [non], CNR1 program jamming before 1400 August 3:
16920, poor at 1351; none in the 19s, 18s, 17s
16360, fair at 1351
16160, very good at 1351, with flutter
16100, fair at 1351

15800, fair at 1353
None lower checked as I was sidetracked by KBS on 15575
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also EAST TURKISTAN

** CUBA. RHC English anomalies August 3: 6125 off the air at 0548, and so is 6010! Leaving only 6165, 6060, 5040, more than sufficient. 6060 and 6165 also have somewhat reduced modulation level compared to 5040 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 13710, August 3 at 1403, CRI English via Kashgar at 308 degrees, atop but plenty of CCI from another station, no doubt AIR GOS in English, as CRI brazenly plopped itself on same frequency; runs only about one second ahead of 13740 Cuba relay. Yet CRI has an excuse, as AIR failed to register 13710 with HFCC, altho it did the other two for GOS-III at 1330-1500, 9690 and 11620 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH [and non]. 15575, August 3 at 1354:37, `Listeners` Lounge` on KBSWR is just starting Christer Brunström`s monthly DX report from Sweden. He gets exactly 4 minutes to talk about: VOA`s `Border Crossings`; Austria`s only SW broadcast left, in German, 0500-0615 with news on hours and half hour, classical music at 0535; Tirana`s English at 2000 Mon-Sat to Europe on 7465 often about getting into the EU, with mailbag on Tuesdays, always ending with songs; very old recordings on WWCR Saturdays at 1430 on 15825, `Music Machine Show` [NO: even tho it`s mostly music, title is `Talking Machine Show` as I re-listened to it within the following hour]; V. of Nigeria mostly missing from 1500 English broadcast on 15120 due technical problems; Cairo has VG signal but audio extremely poor and impossible to copy on 12050 in German at 19, French at 20; Sudan 9505 at 1600-1730 in French, 1730-1900 in English as ``Voice of Africa`` and also Sudan Radio, only
 poor. Says he will be back next month, I suppose always on the first Saturday? That would be in 5 weeks, Sept 7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OMAN [and non]. 15355, August 2 at 2202, today I am tracking what R. Sultanate of Oman is doing. This frequency has presumably just come up with open carrier, good signal, 2203 adding ME music in progress. 2358 speaking Arabic, 0000 August 3 ``Big-Ben`` type TOH chimes play but cut off the air before they can complete!

Then I tune to both 15140 and 9760. Before 0001 arrives, 15140 has an open carrier which wasn`t there before, not as strong at 15355, so I suspect that`s the QSY despite published schedules. But before 0002 arrives, a stronger OC also comes up on 9760, while 15140 is still OC too. At 0009 and 0014 both are still dead air. Next check 0054, 15140 is gone and 9760 is in Arabic. Presumably 15140 was a red herring, something else, but what? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, August 3 at 0058-0100:21.5*, R. Chaski carrier until autocutoff. That`s 10 seconds later than two nights ago, only 3 seconds later than one night ago, which was an apparent anomaly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 13800 good & 11745 fair, August 2 at 2056, RRI IS just before sign-off of English semihour at 2030, reminding us that following just two decent English signals on SW from abroad at 2000, DW Rwanda 15275, and Kuwait 15540, a third station may be added at 2030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 15420v-CUSB, Saturday August 3 at 1400, can make out Brother Scare this week from WBCQ, unlike 168 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1680 monitoring: confirmed at new fixed time of 0200 UT Saturday August 3 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB, checked amid this semi-hour. Next: Saturday 2329v on WTWW-2 9930 (or like last week, UT Sunday 0000 on 5085?); UT Sunday 0400.5 on WTWW-1 5830; Sunday 2330v on 9930, which I suppose could also be delayed until 0000. Could also appear anyday anytime after 1700 on 9930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15550-USB, poor August 2 at 2201, WJHR with ``Rock of Ages`` themehymn, different version from 1400 sign-on, now closing down, cutting it off in mid-note (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 660, August 3 at 0600 UT, ``NBC News Radio`` frequent IDs in correspondent tags; this is the network for the least possible news on the hour! Don`t usually hear any such and suspect it`s KTNN Window Rock AZ; 0602 Home Depot ad and another one seemingly local but whose name I can`t recognize; quickly confirmed at 0603 by English ID as ``KTNN, AM 660, Window Rock and --- [something] Springs``, right into Dineh chanting you don`t hear on any other clear channel station. They habitually append another town to the ID somewhere on the Navajo Res, er, Nation. CCI from another English-speaker at a different angle, probably KSKY. Suspect KTNN night-direxional is out of whack or being ignored, unprotecting WFAN in almost the same direxion as Enid. Look forward to hearing KTNN more around sunrise as we get closer to fall, when legally on nondirexional day pattern (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** UZBEKISTAN [non]. Wolfgang Büschel and Ivo Ivanov report a new broadcast by BBCWS in Uzbek, 1600-1630 on 13695 via UAE, 15175 Woofferton --- obviously to compensate for ChiCom jamming of the original 1300-1330 on all three of its frequencies. Checked August 2 after 1600, I could not hear anything on either frequency. No doubt this too will be jammed as soon as SARFT catch on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 710, August 3 at 0605 UT, Spanish M&W chatting, making a SAH, not a LAH, but soon losing out to two US stations, one with Red Eye, one with C2CAM (as always giving different phones for east and west of the Rockies, unlike any other talkshow?). 710 previously had been bothered by low audible heterodyne from SW/NE, but no sign of it now, so that station probably XE, has either fixed it or signed off by now, after midnite in most of Mexico. XEDP usually manages to dominate among the Mexicans on 710. Don`t think it was Cuba now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6910-SSB, August 3 at 0058, long dialog in Spanish. Sounds serious, even like a broadcast except there were two stations conversing. No ``puta-madres`` or other swearing heard. Probably a Mexican net of some sort, even legal. Meanwhile I continue for weeks to unhear any pirates above 6910 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9690, August 3 at 0055, very strong open carrier, off before 0100. Until I adjusted for parallax on the FRG-7 analog dial I at first thought Serbia was back on 9685, but hopes quickly dashed on that. Suspect this was really Spain tuning up for the 0200-0400 ChiCom relay on 9690 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Anyhow, it sounds like a radio programme rather than a TV soundtrack (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake jamming August 2 before 1300:
13795, fair around 1250

All the rest are CNR1 jammers, after 1300:
15565, poor at 1313, // 11785 with mix; het on hi side

17510, 15330 good; and 17735 poor at 1319, all to block BBC Uzbek during this semihour only (so BBC have just added another Uzbek broadcast at 1600-1630 on 13695, 15175 which the jammers had not yet caught up with by August 1, says Ivo Ivanov)

Before 1400 August 2:

15900, very good at 1356
15970, very good at 1356
16100, good at 1357; none in the 12s, 13s, 14s, 17s, 18s

After 1400 August 2:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6060, August 2 at 0539, tonight`s anomaly from RHC is just-barely-modulation on this one, while the other four English frequencies are OK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [non]. 13820, August 1 at 1835, R. Martí is VG and no jamming audible, unlike weaker // 11930 --- I pause my bandscan because the `Star Spangled Banner` is playing, in a rock guitar version! (not Hendrix). What`s this got to do with Cuba??? YL Spanish announcer talks over it explaining that Francis Scott Key wrote the original, but this version was by Grupo Boston --- I find several takes by them on YT, such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Am0G4T2EeDE --- then on to something about YSL --- apparently these are birthday bits, then something about rock hits of 1983y. What`s this got to do with Cuba2? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 15630, August 2 at 0054, ERT is not in dead air like the last two nights, but Greek music; also 9420 at 0057 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH. 13760, August 2 at 1310, VOK in English, but almost equal mix with Chinese audio, and Juche-jamming noise to boot! Same on // 11710, while Chinese and jamming, but no English are audible on 13650 // 11735. And at 1316 more English on 15245, poor signal, at first no Chinese, but the music mixing there is what`s on the Chinese frequencies now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT [and non]. 13650, August 1 at 2000, tune-in R. Kuwait Arabic to North America just in time to hear it cut off at 2000:30*, good signal, now retuning to 17550, which comes on at *2001:10, somewhat weaker. As heard yesterday, 17550 sometimes axually strengthens later into the night by 2400* (3 am in Kuwait).

Meanwhile, 15440 R. Kuwait English is in between, at 2018 amid history of Kuwait dialog by M&W with dramatic music, this episode being about The Ancestors, with Sabah prominently figuring.

I realize with shocked regret that at this hour, there are only a couple of decent signals from abroad in English on SW --- this and better 15275 DW via Rwanda (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OMAN. 15355, August 2 at 0025 check, R. Sultanate of is not heard tonight as the past two days running late past 0000, but at 0055 I do find an unexpected weak signal on 15140, maybe Arab, so RSO could be on that wrong frequency instead, as right frequency 9760 is missing again (but there is ME music on 9770; Turkey not scheduled until 0100 in Spanish). At 0147 not heard on any of them. HFCC has nothing on 15140 after Iran until 0030, or before 0100 when CRI Chinese via Xian starts. Further chex needed of RSOman`s off-schedule frequency usage (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, August 2 at 0058, Chaski check again on the FRG-7 and this time bewaring of overloads: cuts off at 0100:18.5* or so which computes to 7 seconds later than last night, too much, so I will attribute that to margin of error due to fading, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. 21505, August 2 at 1320, propagation has improved a little to re-audiblize Arabic here, the Buzzing Service of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as mixed with the Arabic, a perpetual problem on this transmitter; haven`t they noticed? Are they clueless how to fix it, or don`t care? Fortunately, we have a clearer, stronger signal from Kuwait on 21540 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1680 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-1, 9479, very good at 2100.5 UT Thursday August 1.

** U S A. 15550-USB, August 2 at 1401, ``Rock of Ages`` theme on plucked instrument, banjo? 1403 dead air and then gospel huxter starts. It`s WJHR, Milton FL, the vanity station for only one preacher whose name I forget; wonder if he`s dead like Gene Scott and Pastor Pete Peters, who merit 24/7 post-mortem broadcasts? Or BS who`s still ante-mortem. This one enjoys only 8 hours a day, so maybe not dead yet either.

WJHR has told FCC they are running 50 kW but experienced SWLs can`t believe it. Often inaudible or JBA here, but logged today with a sufficient signal except for lack of any carrier, ``incompatible USB``, a fact which is not shown in the FCC A-13 schedule. Suspicion is that ``50 kW`` is really the PEP, but can`t believe even that much either. Maybe it`s a lot stronger around the 5-degree boresight toward CIRAF 4 = eastern Canada? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN [non]. 15470, August 2 at 1314 open carrier, 1315 cut on a fragment of the VR IS and opening Vietnamese as a ``Phat-thanh``. Good signal. HFCC shows 250 kW, 280 degrees from TINIAN, i.e. IBB, so a violation of Separation of Church and State.

In the country-column, HFCC also shows MHL for all Vatican via TIN listings including this one, i.e. the WRONG country! Tinian is in the Northern Mariana Islands, NOT the Marshall Islands way off to the east from there; MRA is the proper ITU abbr. for NMI. All other TIN entries are labeled ``USA``, so the MHL error apparently originates with the fallible Vatican Radio, not IBB. Both Aoki and EiBi place TIN correctly in MRA, even Vatican relay listings (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs July 31-August 1, 2013

** AUSTRALIA. It`s already August in Australia, and I am alarmed by the absence of any Shepparton signals, normally inbooming here on 13 and 15 MHz, August 1 before and after 0500: zilch on 17750, 15515 (except uncovering KUWAIT, q.v.), 15415, 15240, 15160, 13630. Hope RA SW has not been suddenly abolished, and that there`s no earthquake, wildfire or flood again! Propagation is OK as I catch NZ on 15720 just before QSY to 11725 (which has an anomaly of its own, q.v.). At 0515 still no RA, except on 12080 a VP signal, which is probably Brandon site as scheduled. Whew, next check 1155, RA is back as usual on Shep 12065, 9580, 6150, 6080. But why was it absent earlier? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake, August 1 before 1300:
13795, fair with CCI at 1244

The rest are CNR1 jammers instead:
12870, very poor at 1243 also with tones
13530, good at 1244
13830, poor at 1245; none in the 14-19 MHz range, except low 15s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT [and non]. 13855, July 31 at 0106, bigsig from R. Cairo with some hum but no intelligible modulation; 13620 with lesser open carrier, hum. Amazingly, these two are the OSOB (*only* stations on band), yet both are totally pointless, but no doubt valued customers for Egypt`s electricity company. 13855 is supposed to be Abis in Spanish, 250 kW at 286 degrees, while 13620 is same but 241 degrees.

Checked again August 1 at 0119: except for OTH radar pulses, presumably from Cyprus ranging 13785-13810, these two are again the OSOB, but now 13855 VG signal has trace of modulation, 13620 good signal, still no modulation.

9720, August 1 at 0234, R. Cairo English to N America frequency has trace of modulation at best; 9965 Arabic with a bit more modulation, scratchy and useless. At 0236, 13850 with distorted undermodulation.

13850, at 0457 August 1 with more modulation but still too distorted, and now heavy flutter too. After switching from 13855 circa 0200, 13850 is now 250 kW, 315 degrees USward from Abis in ``Arabic``. While not the OSOB at this hour, it`s often the strongest, especially with R. Australia missing, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420, August 1 at 0052, ERT with open carrier/dead air again, and same on weaker 15650, equal 7275, which I keep monitoring until music starts up at 0055. Maybe this is a planned pause like 24 hours earlier.

Since Ivo Ivanov reported news in English from ERT July 21, I have been trying to hear it vs almost no propagation around 1300. Finally August 1 at 1311, 15630 has surged to a very poor level so I can make out a YL speaking, seemingly with English intonation but can`t copy any words; periodically interrupted by brief music bits. Other scheduled frequencies: 9420 occupied by Chinese; 9935 out of the question with Brother Scare now on 9930 WTWW. English segment presumably ended at 1317 when I could just barely hear the haunting old ERT IS.

English starts between 1305 and 1307, and on July 27, Alan Roe in UK heard it from 1307 to 1316, with this announcement: "These are the news in English broadcasted by the Free Hellenic Radio programme". Sure wish they would add some other English times when we can hear it well; maybe they have, as yet undiscovered. It had been years since the original ERT provided any English, let alone the news (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, August 1 at 1252, VOI with VP signal but improved modulation, as always slightly on the lo side of 9526, and way on the hi side of ``9525``; music and talk intonation sounds Japanese as scheduled, with flutter. 1301 opening English, hear ``kHz`` mentioned in totally wrong tri-frequency announcement, but too poor to copy any programming; while so-called domestic service of RRI on 9680 is quite strong and well-modulated, I think, but also useless vs the China radio war (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 17550, July 31 at 2359, tune in just in time for R. Kuwait`s Arabic service to C&W North America; good signal with flutter during Qur`an, rudely cut off at 0000:15* August 1. Allah`ll get`em for that. Always fun to hear this wacky service propagating almost trans-polarly, as it will be steadily declining on the average as we get into fall and winter.

15515, August 1 at 0527, VP signal with ME music, i.e. R. Kuwait, Arabic at 05-09, 250 kW, 59 degrees form Kabd. Normally totally blocked by R. Australia in one-hour overlap, but that`s missing tonight, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 580, August 1 at 0442 UT, XEMU, Piedras Negras, Coahuila, has overtaken WIBW Topeka, mentioning ``los dos Laredos``, timecheck, ``La Rancherita del Aire``. I suppose it covers Laredos too with non-direxional day & night signal, but it`s tough luck for WIBW, despite beaming our way at night to protect WILL. I consulted the 2005 NRC Pattern Book, but a new one has just been published! Ordering details:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 11675, August 1 at 0513, RNZI is in AM! Instead of DRM, // 11725 AM; second transmitter failed to go into DRM mode after QSY? Back in DRM noise by 0525 recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. Regional tropo is up, August 1 at 1525 UT with some Kansas DTV and also:

RF 11, KSWO-TV Lawton, (ABC) 7.1, plus subchannels:
7.2, Telemundo
7.3, LWN
W9WI.com has 7.2 TM but nothing as 7.3 for KSWO. LWN = Live Well Network; we don`t get that on any closer station. At the moment with fat lady exercising; soon fades below decode level. I should have started DTVDXing much earlier in the morning (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OMAN. 15355, August 1 at 0007, VG signal in Arabic with slight hum, slow deep fades, 0013 music, 0014 ID ``Idha`at ---`` something, could not make out the word, but sure didn`t sound like Oman. Yet that`s certainly R. Sultanate of, running late past nominal 2400* as the *0000 frequency 9760 is vacant --- until 15355 cuts off abruptly at 0029* during Qur`an. Allah`ll get `em too for that. Then I retune to 9760 and sure `nuff, *0030:15 with carrier, 0040:40 add modulation resuming Qur`an. Not as good here as had been on 15355, but sufficient (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, August 1 at 0056, JBA Chaski carrier until cutoff at approx. 0100:11.5*, which is 11.5 seconds later than two nights ago. I am still avoiding the mosquitoey porch hoping for an August drought to dry them up again; instead of the FRG-7 inside which apparently overloaded with a distracting othersig last night, I am using the DX-398 inside connected to the random wire wound around the ceiling, normally reserved for lightning storms (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. Not having enough signal from Micronesia vs noise level as 1200 UT approaches Aug 1, I instead detect the SIBC 5020- carrier (slightly on low side compared to KOKP 1020), with BFO and wait for its automatic cutoff --- but it`s still there at 1202. Yesterday, Ron Howard heard it stop at 1200* on 5019.88 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 2000-USB, August 1 at 0518 UT, New York Radio VOLMET is poorly audible, WSY70 still active on this strange new frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1680 monitoring: completed in time for first airing UT Thursday August 1 at 0330 on WRMI, but too much noise to detect it on 9955, and the stream would not connect for me. Next:

Thursday 2100.5 on WTWW-1 9479
UT Friday 0325v on WWRB 5050 [we hope; computer problems last week]
UT Saturday 0130v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110-v-CUSB
Saturday 0630 & 1430 on HLR 7265-CUSB [need to be reconfirmed in Aug]
Saturday 1500 on WRMI 9955
Saturday 2329v on WTWW-2 9930 [but last week not until 0000 Sun 5085]
UT Sunday 0400.5 on WTWW-1 5830
Sunday 2330v on WTWW-2 9930
Tuesday 1100 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 0630 & 1430 on HLR 7265-CUSB [need to be reconfirmed in Aug]
BTW, I mismentioned the `new` DXLD as 13-32 instead of 13-31
