Glenn Hauser logs July 8-9, 2016

** ALBANIA. 9855-, July 8 at 2324, R. Tirana music during Albanian hour is audible but beneath the humroar. July 9 at 0130 for English, nothing but the humroar is audible at S3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15370, 15230, 11760, 9710, 9640, 9535, July 8 at 1323 check all these RHC frequencies on, as scheduled. 17580 and 17730 also listed, but 16m not really propagating yet.

Evening check, July 9 at 0124: Spanish frequencies 9535, 9710, 11670, 11760, 11840 all on; 6060 at 0131; also 13740 at 0144. As for English at 0131, 6000 is S9+25 but very undermodulated while 6165 is just barely modulated, less than 6000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, July 9 at 0104, very poor carrier from R. Chaski, with traces of talk modulation until autocutoff at 0104:18*, which is 39 seconds later than last log six nights before, July 3 until 0103:39, or slippage averaging 6.5 seconds later per (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** SRI LANKA. 11905, July 9 at 0115:19, SLBC 2+1 mis-timesignal on S1 signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEEST)

Oddly, I was hearing QRM on 9329-LSB, from 4 or 5 beeps in a row repeating during the WBCQ IS and ID, but quit before 2330. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7489.87-AM, July 9 from 0112, I`m listening to Allan Weiner Worldwide on WBCQ (first hour 0000-0100 I was listening to webcast; at 0020 he mentioned that they are `trimulcasting` also on 5130, 3250 and he has been working on a Navy TBM transmitter from 1973, for backup; at 0054 that the antenna for 7490 is a log periodic beam). 

7490v reception is good, except just as I re-tune in at 0112:12 it cuts off the air, shortly back on at 0113:56 as Allan mentions ``gremlins`` and suggests retuning to 5130, which I already had, but 5129.9-AM was poor in storm noise. Timed the delay via cosmikdebris server tonight at 17 seconds behind 7490. Never could hear even a carrier on 3250. 

Going thru e-mail shortly before 0130, Allan has some WBCQ program notes: Chris --- has changed title of `Understanding Your Adversary` to `Know Your Adversary`, Thursdays at 8-9 pm ET on 7490 (= UT Fridays 00-01). I haven`t caught it yet nor apparently has Allan heard it. Where is Chris coming from? Also, `Prison Guy Robert`s Dead Frog Radio` is midnight Saturday nights into Sundays = UT Sundays 0400-0500 on 7490. 

At 0133, mail from Dave Zantow in Wisconsin that WRNO from 7505 is splattering on WBCQ; Allan asks me to notify them about that, and so I have, rather to tech advisor Jon Gorski. (I am not having that splatter problem here, but presumably WRNO azimuth is still 20 degrees, which makes Wisconsin a prime target.) By now, WRNO signal has faded down greatly here, and by 0140, 7490 WBCQ is also fading down, as Allan says he has not yet decided what to program on 3250. Benedixion and wrapping up, 0145 back to BS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505vv, July 9 at 0116, WRNO is on again, S9+35, shoutout during `The Haven` to Matthew Oglethorpe in Louisiana (Shreveport, I believe, so how is intrastate propagation?) and the frequency won`t hold still for me to measure it, as high as 7505.22, but at 0119 on 7504.93; considerably weakening at 0134, on 7505.11 as the skip is lengthening? Reads only S9+15, gospel rock; 0137 quoting Robert Mawire (the current owner). Meanwhile, Dave Zantow in Wisconsin had e-mailed Allan Weiner on 7490, complaining that WRNO was splattering on WBCQ (altho not a problem here: see separate WBCQ log) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12105, July 8 at 2040, WTWW-3 is S9 but dead air, instead of Bibling; 9930 is off instead of Dave Ramsey. 9475 on with SFAW at S9+10. Next check July 9 at 0105, 12105 is off, 9475 is S9+25 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7780, July 9 at 0106 check, this WRMIBS is back on the air, missing last night; but I don`t check if any of the other dozen frequencies be off instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs July 7-8, 2016

** ALBANIA. 9854.95, July 8 at 0154 check, the R. Tirana 0130 English to North America is *still* a big humroar. There is yet hope: Manfred Reiff, Germany tells us in the DXLD yg on Thursday July 7: `` Good morning, yesterday I made a recording of parts of the German service of Radio Tirana and sent the cut to the head of the German service, Mr. Astrit Ibro. He replied this morning that they have a meeting with the technicians on Friday to solve the problem. 73, Manfred`` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11780, July 8 at 0216, RNA is S9 and considerably distorted modulation, after quite a spell of decent transmission. I look for spurs around the 25m band, but don`t find any now, so that`s a plus, but they could be less than the considerable band noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11934.58, July 8 at 0212, JBA carrier, no doubt Rádio RB2, as it continues to drift very slowly downward from one night to the next (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6060, 6165, 9535, 9710, 11670, 13740, July 8 after 0204 UT chex, all these RHC frequencies scheduled this hour are OFF again tonight like yesterday and perhaps ante-yesterday. Only ones heard ON are: 5040 Spanish, 6000 English, 11840 & 15230 Spanish. 11840 as usual accompanied by JBA spurs on 11830 & 11850. A major breakdown at the Bejucal and Bauta sites? Or merely a mid-summer maintenance break? Now there`s less overkill by RHC on the bands. Probably there are similar absences in the morning and afternoon blox I have not investigated. Except I was not hearing 6000 in my unusual 1100 UT morning session July 7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9530, July 8 at 0205, Cuban pulse jamming against nothing, except: a JBA carrier, the second harmonic of 4765 Radio Progreso, as if they are trying to hide it, hi! This sounds like only one jammer, while there are several still attacking 9565, the Martí frequency never on the air at night; and MUCH heavier wall-of-noise on 9490 against Radio República, which really is there from France, but buried (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 9315 English, 9965 Arabic, 12085 other Arabic, July 8 at 0203, 0208, all three R. Cairo frequencies are open carrier and dead air, instead of horrible noise from one or two of them. 9315 is S8, 12085 is only S3, often much stronger. No precise measurements made except to note that 9965.00 is exceptionally on-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 7275-USB, July 8 at 0221, the contrarian USB, not LSB net on 40m is going again with KJ5GG, which ARRL lookup shows is HENSON, RONALD G, WEATHERFORD, OK 73096. He has to take a break and turns it over to a couple other weakers whose calls also without fonetix I don`t copy correctly enough to find any listed. Does this net have a name and a specific schedule? It does all sound rather informal (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7425, July 8 at 0220, S5 mixture of audio from 7305 Vatican Radio music during Spanish service, and 7365 Radio Martí talk, from two adjacent Greenville transmitters, for the record, still producing this leapfrog mixing product (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1833 monitoring: confirmed Thursday July 7 at 2100 on WRMI 13695, very good (stayed tuned for `Blues Radio International` at 2130). Also confirmed Thu July 7 at 2330 on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB, JBA. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7780, July 8 at 0218, as I start my 7 MHz bandscan downward, NO signal from this WRMI #3 BS, so a little less toxic algae from Okeechobee, hi. I check all the others and find WRMI, mostly BS, still transmitting on 5015, 5765, 5850, 5950, 5985, 6855, 7570, 7730, 9395, 9955, 11530, 11580. That accounts for all 13 transmitters, as only one, #7 is not scheduled to be on air at night, just 21675 for Radio Africa in daytime (which is barely audible any more with abysmal solar flux) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Hi Glenn, I have been helping Larry Thom, chief engineer of WRNO. Larry has an Elcor transmitter similar to mine. He has been off the air for some time due to transmitter problems as well as health problems. Larry and I have been in touch and working out the problems with the transmitter. We just got WRNO back on the air minutes ago. I set up my test equipment to monitor the signal and have been able to talk Larry in as he adjusted his audio processor. WRNO never sounded better. The frequency is 7505 KC. The Elcor is being driven by a Collins T-368 which is doing a fine job for a 60 year old transmitter.  Check out 7505 KC see what you think (Jon Gorski, KJES, 0024 UT July 7, via DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Jon, received after WOR 1833 was completed. And I don`t hear it at 0113 UT. Will it be back on later tonight? The `new` WRNO certainly never reached its potential with only 3 hours a day, off-frequency and at times awful modulation (Glenn to Jon, 0116 UT July 7 via DXLD)

Glenn, we just got it back tonight. And are still tuning and testing. But it will get better. Larry has been at it all day, so not sure he will be back tonight. His regular transmitter operator is off. When the regular operator returns, he will need to be trained on the T-368 driver. I helped Larry fine tune the audio processor, so some improvement there. Still have a frequency drift problem that he will get solved. Baby steps at first. But it will come together. Larry is lucky to be able to work in the heat of the transmitter shack. He just got out of the hospital after surgery for kidney stones. He says it takes a while to get back to full strength. Also trouble with rain in the T-368. Not a cloud for three states around when he loaded the T-368 transmitter on his pickup truck. But as soon as he started loading, a little black cloud opened up on him and hung around pouring an inch of rain on him and the T-368. Took all day to dry it out and get it operating again. Some days ya just can't get a break. Larry's doing his best; wish him luck (Jon Gorski, KJES, 0150 UT July 7, ibid.)

It's just the daily life of a transmitter engineer slaving over a hot transmitter. Larry Thom, WRNO chief engineer, says he will have to teach his transmitter op. the new stuff. He still has some fine "tweaking to do" but he will get it right (Jon Gorski, KJES, 0350 UT July 7, ibid.)

So the next night from before 0000 UT, I have the R75 with BFO set to 7504-USB. Cuts on at *0100 and I file this to the DXLD yg at 0115:

WRNO is back on the air from *0100 UT July 8, 7505v. Frequency is varying considerably as they are tweaking it, like 7505.130, 7505.390, 7504.990 in the next few minutes. Every time I try to measure it, it`s jumping or VFOing. ID from Fort Worth, Texas studio, gospel music. Jon Gorski is helping them get back on the air and tells me they started testing last night. More details to follow (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

I resume monitoring on the NRD-545 at 0149 UT July 8: 7505.19 is S9+40 with good modulation. Contact info is being given, including wrnoradio@mailup.net --- also they have an app: WRNO. Asking for reports; they want to know who is listening from which countries. `Haven` also mentioned, program name or part of one? By 0158 it`s closer to 7505.25; canned ID at 0200 mentioning from transmitter site in New Orleans, Louisiana; 0201 starting `Marantha Radio` preaching and I tune out until another check at 0239 when it`s about 7505.026.

Following our tip, Wolfgang Büschel replies, ``USA 7505.014 Noted WRNO with station ID at 0251 UT on July 8 on remote SDR unit in Edmonton Alberta. Stable frequency so far, no wandering noted. 2 x 15 kHz broad wide signal, nice audio. Talk by two women, "what you are reading...", Mrs. Rose-Mary co-presenter, talk on Goodness of God. S=9+35dB signal`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12105, July 7 at 2010, WTWW-3 is open carrier/dead air instead of Bibling, and still so at 2128. 9930 is off instead of Dave Ramsey Show. 9475 is abnormally weak with SFAW at S5-S8. Not checked again until 0208 UT July 8, and now 12105 is off; 5830 is on with ponderous Bible story about Moses, and crosstalk slightly lower level; sounds like same speaker with different feed, maybe same story considerably offset. Rather like tape print-thru; remember that, from extra-thin mylar on reels-to-reel? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1460, July 8 at 0232 UT, Spanish looping NE/SW talk sounds like sports. The only good fit is: KBZO Lubbock TX with ESPN Deportes, 1000/243 watts U1. Atop at first, it soon fades (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1521.0, July 8 at 0227 and still at 0236, 1 kHz het is audible on hi side of Herman Cain on KOKC 1520.0 OKC, which I always confidently assume is the 2-megawatter in Duba, SAUDI ARABIA which operates only at the night, and serves as a Trans-Atlantic beacon as far as deep North America; so a new DX season is underway, hi hi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

ANNIVERSARIO EMITTENTI
Radio General Urquiza, Argentina 1260 Khz (1945)
Radio Difusora Acreana, Brasile 4885 Khz (1971)

Glenn Hauser logs July 6-7, 2016

** CUBA. 6165, July 7 at 0310, RHC English is missing from this frequency again tonight, leaving only 6000, in incessant complaining about the blockade. 

What about various Spanish frequencies scheduled this hour? 5040, 6060, 9535, 11670, 11840, 13740, 15230. Of those, these are not heard and presumed also OFF: 6060, 9535, 9710, 13740. 6165 is still off at 0437 check, but no further chex tonite. The frequencies still on are via Quivicán site; the missing ones are Bejucal or Bauta; except 5040 is Bauta (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY. 9530, July 7 at 0312, Mideast? music at S9+10, not same as R. Progreso, 4765, which I recently confirmed to be harmonicizing on 9530. Aoki shows at 0300-0330 only, 9530 is AWR Tigrinya via Nauen (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN. 3945, July 7 at 1134 music not // 6115 talk. 3945 is S9+10 with song and almost on-frequency approx. 3945.015. Checking 3945 just in case for VANUATU [q.v.], but this must be R. Nikkei 2, which on weekdays runs until 1400, while // 6115 goes off at 1000, leaving that frequency to Voice of Strait, China. 

Comparing 3945 to Nikkei 1 on 3925, with classical music, tho meter reading is equivalent S9+10, 3945 has significantly more fading, why? Nikkei is not listed in HFCC, to check their alleged powers and azimuths; however, WRTH shows JOZ 3925 is 50 kW, while JOZ5 3945 is only 10 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. 11680, July 7 at 0316, Japanese, fair with deep fades. It`s NHK via GERMANY at 03-05, 250 kW at 140 degrees, so close to directly off the back here. Same is on 5910, 500 kW, 290 degrees from FRANCE, which I often pause upon during a wide variety of music with VG signal here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH. 6135, July 7 at 1122, noise jamming, no doubt vs Voice of Freedom, Korea South, which cannot be heard here under it.

3985, July 7 at 1133, noise jamming much like on 6135, this time against Echo of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 650, July 7 at 1106 UT, Sinaloa ads, including mariscos frescos at Mariscos del Navigante; from XETNT Los Mochis. 

I`m finally up early enough in the summer for XE sunrise skip: Enid LSR today is 1121 UT, inching later since earliest 1113 UT a month ago. Besides 5 other XE logs within a few minutes of this time, some other familiar signals were passed across, such as 550, 710. 

Not much storm noise now, but there is lightning as close as southwest Missouri into southeast Kansas. I consult this lighting-locator site with a map of TX also covering all of OK and parts of other adjacent states:

http://en.blitzortung.org/live_lightning_maps.php?map=31

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 780, July 7 at 1102 UT, after choral NA, ID or sign-on from San Fernando, Tamaulipas, on FM 102.7. I guess they really said 103.7, as listed for XESFT. No KSPI OK carrier yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 830, July 7 at 1109 UT, 105.7 ID from La Caliente, which leads to XELN, Linares, Nuevo León. WRTH and IRCA show 5/0.25 kW; Cantú 3/0.25 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** MEXICO. 900, July 7 at 1055 UT, choral NA, 1057 XEOK ID mentioning Guadalupe, Nuevo León, near Monterrey station. It`s usually this, not XEW in further DF we hear any more (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 940, July 7 at 1101 UT, ad for Laboratorios Mayo sales event coming up in Pachuca, Hidalgo; 1102 choral NA; 1104 ID as ``24 horas, desde México, XEQ-AM, 50 mil watts, La Ke Buena`` and into ``El Morning Show de la Ke Buena``. Yes, the title in English. No audible het so using on-frequency transmitter, and big dominant signal, unlike other major DF stations (Glenn Hauser, oK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1090, July 7 at 1113 UT, dramatized history with music about Oaxaca, loops SSW. Both strongly suggest it`s XEAU, Milenio Radio in Monterrey NL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA [and non]. 7295, July 7 at 1155, S7 signal but very poor in noise level, presumed Radio Sakha, Yakutsk. A stronger S9 signal is on its // 7345, with talk and music, but not enough 7295 to make a match. Besides, at 1158, 7345 sounds like Chinese, and at 1200, 5+1 timesignal. That`s merely one of countless CNR1 frequencies from Beijing. (Thazin Radio, Myanmar is also listed on 7345 until 1330.)

I`m listening again at 1259, when 7295 is still audible and much weaker than 7345, but 7295 cuts off at 1300:22*, the new normal weekday closing time for Radio Sakha, altho Ron Howard heard it extended later past 1317 July 6 for coverage of some children`s games, including English at 1248-1310! The games last until July 17, closing ceremony July 16. He`s found that R. Sakha recently reversed 7295 and 7345 powers if not azimuths, making the lower one better to North America and without the QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1833 monitoring: confirmed first SW broadcast, Thursday July 7 at 1130 on WRMI 9955; initially only S5-S8 but no jamming; by 1150 built up to S9+20 to 30. Next:

** U S A. 570, July 7 at 1045 UT, Fox Sports Radio, hype, hype, hype. Loops NE/SW, and easily heard with KLIF DFW nulled, not very strong itself. Presumed KWML Las Cruces NM, 5000/155 watts U1; and confirmed at 1059 UT ID after local weather. So is it on day power? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 740, July 7 at 1052 UT, KTRH Houston TX with headlines, IDs in passing, over KRMG Tulsa and making a 64/minute = 1.07 Hz SAH; also heavy QRM from the off-frequency Mexican. KTRH is 50/50 kW U4, and both day and night patterns are supposed to throw virtually nothing toward Oklahoma. But I can only get some KRMG by nulling KTRH. By 1107 UT, KRMG is atop, but KTRH and its SAH still audible. Official FCC July sunrises are: Tulsa 1115 UT; Houston 1130 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VANUATU. 7259.962, July 7 at 1138, JBA carrier, presumed R. Vanuatu on precise off-frequency, still transmitting altho allegedly ceasing programming circa 1015 as a cost-saving measure. At 1202, however, I am getting a double het around 7260 with BFO, so what else? Maybe Mongolia. It`s still almost two hours before Urumqi sunset at 1354 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

#                Weekly Highlights and Forecasts
#
Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 27 June - 03 July 2016

Solar activity was very low. The disk was spotless for the entire
period with no measurable flare activity.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at
high levels from 27-30 Jun and dropped to normal to moderate levels
for the remainder of the period.

Geomagnetic field activity was quiet to unsettled on 27-28 Jun due
to diminishing negative polarity CH HSS effects. Mostly quiet
conditions were observed on 29 Jun. Quiet to unsettled conditions
were observed for the remainder of the week with an isolated active
period on 02/2100-2400 UTC due to effects from a series of coronal
holes.

FORECAST OF SOLAR AND GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY 04 JULY - 30 JULY 2016

Solar activity is expected to be very low throughout the forecast
period.

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to reach high levels on 04-07, 16-19, and 22-26 Jul
following recurrent CH HSS events.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at quiet to unsettled
levels early on 04 Jul followed by quiet conditions through 07 Jul.
Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected to return from 08-15 Jul
with active periods likely on 11-12 Jul due to effects from a series
of recurrent coronal holes. Quiet conditions are expected to return
from 16-18 Jul. Another recurrent CH HSS is expected to cause quiet
to unsettled conditions from 19-23 Jul with isolated active periods
likely on 19 Jul. Mostly quiet levels are expected for the remainder
of the period with unsettled periods possible on 28 and 30 Jul due
to recurrent coronal holes.

Cable antenna, 8 meters

Glenn Hauser logs July 5-6, 2016

** BRAZIL. 9565.057, July 6 at 0556, off-frequency Brazuguese, so SRDA Curitiba, no overtime jamming from Cuba for a change to block it; instead, still plugging away on 9490 against no República. Super-Radio God Is Love is same Curitiba station which is off-frequency from 6060, 11765 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 11785, July 6 at 1248, CNR1 echo jamming against VOA Chinese, rather than Firedragon as employed yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 15160.00, July 6 at 0225, pop music, ``la-la-la`` averaging S7, then YL vocal seems in Chinese; 0230 Chinese announcement mentioning ``Chung-kuo``, brief lapse into English, ``Literature of 2012, Chinese writer ---``. It`s merely a CRI Chinese hour via Jinhua site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6165, 6100, 6060, July 6 at 0559, three RHC English frequencies are OFF, leaving only undermodulated 6000; while 5040 is now in Spanish yelling toward a crowd, and 0601 opening the ``mañana`` broadcast as if it were already 1100! YL with frequency list in typical Soviet-style disorder: 17730, 13740, 11760, 11840, 9535, 9710, 5040, 102.5, 91.7 [sic], 103.1. I guess this was a playback from previous morning. Despite 6165 being off, no trace of Chad this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN. 11470.137, July 6 at 1243, music at S1, presumably Sound of Hope, which Aoki lists on 11470.088, and thus no ChiCom jamming. Also a JBA carrier near 11430, likewise in Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1832 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday July 5 after 2130 on WRMI 15770, very poor here; presumed good to its northeast where beamed. Also confirmed Tue July 5 after 2330 on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB, JBA. Also confirmed Wed July 6 after 1315.5 on WRMI 9955, good S9 +10. Next:

Wed 2100   WBCQ 7490v to WSW

Wed 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5129.9, July 6 at 0218, ``CQ Field Day`` at S9+20 vs S9 storm noise level. It`s really `Amateur Radio Roundtable` via WBCQ as scheduled from 0100 UT Wednesdays. W5KUB, Tom Medlin is no longer distributing advance publicity by e-mail; meanwhile Ted Randall has deliberately put a repeat of his `QSO` show on WTWW-2 5085 at the same time, which is S9+50, plus spurs circa 5072.1, 5097.9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9350, July 5 at 2141, WWCR gospel huxter audio feed is cutting out, ringing.

5980, July 6 at 0215, JBA carrier vs S9 storm noise probably from Lubbock area; what`s this? Chaski is off more than an hour earlier, and nothing is scheduled, but WWCR starts 5890 at *0200 weeknights only, so it`s that, leapfrogging over 5935 another 45 kHz higher. Later at night, can sometimes make out Brother Scare audio on 5980 thus despite also being on 5985 WRMI fundamental, plus 5950, etc.

15816, 15820.5, 15829.5, 15834 approx., July 6 at 1341, the WWCR spurs are back thanks to fundamental 15825 getting a sporadic-E boost to S9+30, making it the SSOB. Some ham propagation authority claims that Es does not funxion down to the 14 MHz band, but I have correlated these super-strong WWCR 15825 signals numerous times with sporadic E openings displayed on the 6-meter map, as I do today (and likewise WWCR`s next frequency down, 13845). 15825, and somewhat less so 13845, are weakish here under normal non-Es conditions, too close for solid F2 propagation at one megameter distance; while 12160 is normally very strong, not requiring any sporadic ``short skip`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12105, July 5 at 2150, WTWW-3 in more jumbled scheduling: now with SFAW PPP but not // 9475 WTWW-1; still that English at 2228 check. At 21-22 it had been French, 22-23 Arabic. Later I heard Yoruba, but failed to note the hour, probably 23-24 UT as originally scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1500.5 & 1499.5 approx., July 6 at 0248 UT, the wavering spur carriers both sides of KSTP are still barely audible. We can rule out KDFN in Missouri as Tom Jasinski recently drove thru Poplar Bluff and found that station no longer exists (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13560.56, July 6 at 0233, regular beeps in CW amounting to 46 per minute, here in the ISM Part 15 band, so maybe a beacon or a nearby device (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Schedule of Marconi Radio International on air on 6 July 2016

Just a short reminder of our regular weekly brodcasts on Wednesdays. Marconi Radio International will once again be on air tomorrow 6 July 2016, as follows: 1830-1930 UTC on 15070 kHz (USB mode), 2000-2100 UTC and 2130-2230 UTC on 7700 kHz (USB Mode).

 

Our broadcasts include some kind of programmes now sadly missing from most shortwave radio stations:  an old style DX show in English “Italian Short Wave Panorama”  and Italian "Panorama Onde Corte" with a feature on Radio Dabanga and Radio Tamuzuj, as well as  a mailbag programme in Italian. Our  station identification  announcements are not only in English and Italian but also in French, German, Japanese, Spanish and Catalan.

 

MRI encourages reception reports from listeners. Audio clips (mp3-file) of our broadcasts are welcome! We QSL 100%. Our electronic mail address is:marconiradiointernational@gmail.com - Please don’t forget to include your postal address as some lucky listeners will also receive a printed QSL card.

 

Last but not least,  we need your help! If you use social networks, please post an announcement on Facebook  or send out a tweet the day  before the broadcast. You can also forward this message to a friend. This should help increase our  potential audience.

 

We hope to hear from a lot of shortwave listeners about our transmissions.
