Glenn Hauser logs August 2-3, 2013

** 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
15875, fair at 1353
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)

Glenn Hauser logs August 1-2, 2013

** AUSTRALIA. 9580, Friday August 2 at 1305, RA English is starting `Asia Review` hosted by someguy with a Vietnamese name; contrary to own schedule showing this at 1330, with `Australia Network News Bulletin` at 1300-1330. 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:
15560, fair at 1356, stays on past 1402, het on lo side; ex-15565
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:
17740, fair at 1406 with CCI, i.e. VOA Tibetan via Thailand this hour only; CNR1 confirmed by // 15560
(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.

Not confirmed on WWRB, 5050, at 0345 UT Friday August 2 check --- instead, fill music ``Smoke Gets In Your Eyes``. Second week in a row with no WOR, apparently due to continuing computer problems at WWRB; sigh. Next:

UT Saturday 0200 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110-v-CUSB [NEW time confirmed from this week, ex-0135v]
Saturday 0630 & 1430 on HLR 7265-CUSB
Saturday 1500 on WRMI 9955
Saturday 2330v on WTWW-2 9930 or Sunday 0000 on 5085
UT Sunday 0400.5 on WTWW-1 5830
Sunday 2330v on WTWW-2 9930 (or Monday 0000 on 5085?)
WOR can also appear at any time, any day between 17 and 24 on 9930, 00 and 01 on 5085 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** 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:
http://www.nrcdxas.org/catalog/books/index1.html#APB
(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]

Tuesday 1100 on WRMI 9955

** BANGLADESH. 15505, July 31 at 1355, BB continuous tone is already on, poor with flutter but better signal than usual lately; 1358 IS is playing and runs past 1400! Until timesignal ending at 1400:09, theme and opening Urdu (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake July 31, before 1300:
13795, fair with CCI at 1245 past hourtop timesignal, also CNR1 jam?

Otherwise, CNR1 jamming only, before 1300:
none in the 12s, high 15s, 16s, 17s, 18s
14700, fair at 1248 with het

Before 1400 July 31:
17170, poor at 1352, weaker than the East Turkistan CRIs on 17; no 18s
16100, fair at 1352 with flutter
15940, very poor at 1356, less than regular 15115
14980, fair at 1356
14700, poor at 1356
13920, poor-fair at 1358; none in the 12s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420, July 31 at 0051, VG signal but open carrier/dead air, and soon at 0052 found the same on // weaker 15650 with fair signal, and 7475 with good signal, so it`s surely ERT. Kept listening to 9420 and Greek music finally started up at 0057.4. This is now not unusual under the dire circumstances these transmitters are kept on the air by the occupiers of the radio service the Greek government has officially abolished (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, July 31 I am staying inside away from the mosquitoes on the porch, and making a Chaski-check with the FRG-7 and longwire instead of the DX-498 and shortwire. I can still detect a very weak carrier on 5980 at 0054 so I off-tune slightly and listen to the BFO for it to cut off around 0100. But it doesn`t! Still past 0101. Then I switch in the ATTenuation, and it goes away, so I have been listening to receiver overload instead of Chaski this time. (WWCR is also capable of producing a leapfrog mixing product from 5890 over 5935 on 5980, but not yet, as 5890 is still off the air.) BTW, the splash from 5990 CRI/Cuba was already off shortly before 0057, unusually early.

A few days ago there was another anomaly about Chaski reported by Claudio Galaz, Chile on the condig lista, kept on somewhat past 0100:

``UNIDENTIFIED. 5980. 26 de julio a las 0053 UT. En la frecuencia citada se debería transmitir "Red Radio Integridad" con programación religiosa como lo hace Chaski. No obstante, se transmite música romántica en español i.e.: Luis Miguel, et al. Señal con mucho ruido de fondo, pero con una modulación que va de baja a aceptable, distinto a cuando se retransmite Red R. Integridad con sobremodulación, con SINPO: 43333. Sin embargo, sale a las 0103 al igual que lo hace o hacía Chaski hace algunos días.

PERU, 5980, R. CHASKI. 27 de julio a las 0042 UT. Retransmisión de R. R. Integridad con el Programa "El amor que vale" acerca de la vida de Jacob en la Biblia y a las 0051 acaba el programa y se mantiene con música instrumental hasta las 0059, cuando sale del aire. La señal no tiene sobremodulación, ni tampoco mucho QRN con SINPO: 54454. 73!

** SERBIA [non]. 9685, July 31 at 0050 check, IRS is still AWOL. I have finally e-mailed them asking what`s up with the (ex?) North American service (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9930, July 31 at 1231, WTWW-2 with new Brother Scare broadcast, and I hear exactly the same recorded comments about expansion on MBR transmitters he played 24 hours earlier. George McClintock says the timespan for this is 12-15 UT, and indeed later in afternoon on July 30, 9930 was back to QSO and other programs. July 31, BS stopped at 1500 after a canned WTWW ID played; silence until 1524 another ID, and 1527 Unshackled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 960, July 31 at 0500 UT, KGWA Enid Fox-hole of dead air is occupied by ABC news echoing between KMA and KGKL; I have KGWA so precisely nulled that even when its modulation resumes at 0505 I can still copy a station giving local weather, including KMA IDs in passing, i.e. Shenandoah IA (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15355, July 31 at 0108 fair signal, good modulation, seems Arabic. Nothing scheduled, but suspect R. Sultanate of OMAN, a frequency last known to be used earlier at 22-24, with 9760 at 00-02, which would have been missing; to be rechecked (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

14700, poor at 1349
No others 12-20 MHz except the usual 15115
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6060, July 30 circa 0530, now the missing RHC English frequency is this, continuing on 5040, 6010, 6125, 6165 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 960, July 30 at 0535 UT, KGWA Enid is off the air; no doubt because a storm blew thru during the previous hour, with lightning, high winds and rain; and we also had a few instantaneous power glitches. Next check circa 1240, had returned to the air (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9930, July 30 at 1246, WTWW-2 is already on the air, and with Brother Scare! He`s back, and maybe for long hours overcoming the fill programming which has been airing for a few months in the afternoons, such as Ted Randall`s QSO show, World of Radio, Amateur Radio Newsline and Ted`s favorite music trax? Total BSpan remains to be determined.

FCC finally updated their HF schedule, now dated July 11, at

http://transition.fcc.gov/ib/sand/neg/hf_web/A13FCC02.TXT
but it already showed 9930 available as follows, allowing overlap with ``KHBN`` on the other worldside in apparent assumption they won`t QRM each other. And here, WTWW is so strong that there is nothing from T8WH audible underneath, but how about in the Pacific/Asia?

9930 0000 1300 KHBN 100 318 43,44 1234567 310313 271013
9930 1200 2400 WTWW 100 180 11-15 1234567 300513 271013
9930 1200 2400 WTWW 100 180 11-15 1234567 310313 300513
9930 1300 1400 KHBN 100 345 43-45 1234567 310313 271013
9930 1400 1430 KHBN 100 345 43-45 1234567 310313 271013
9930 1430 1500 KHBN 100 318 43-45 1234567 310313 271013
9930 1500 1600 KHBN 100 270 41,49,50,54 1234567 310313 271013
9930 1600 2400 KHBN 100 345 43-45 1234567 310313 271013

Getting back to BS, I find that 9930 is running 5 seconds ahead of WWCR 9980; not on before 1300 is WWRB 9370, but after that he`s on *three* Tennessee 9 MHz stations at the same time, surely a huge waste of overlapping coverage.

Retuned at 1330, he`s talking about his new outreach; no mention of WTWW but I may have missed it just before then. Says he`s on transmitters in Romania, Bulgaria, such as 9700 at 18-22 to Eu, 11850 at 19-21 to Af, with 250 kW. Says he`s on four US stations every day (?? I count five: WWCR, WTWW, WWRB, WRMI, WBCQ). Says ``today we agreed`` to occupy by tomorrow or the next day, all these frequencies from central Europe: 13810, 9655, 11775, 15390, 15620, 15205, 17750, for total of 13 frequencies, a number he dislikes. Cost of this is $100,000 to be paid in advance so is phoning supporters to raise the amount ASAP. Mentions his ``good friend Michael over there, filling in for Walter``, apparently referring to his contacts at MBR. Some of the new frequencies he claims will be 24 hours a day; others not just a few hours, but 7, 8, 9 or 10 hours a day [not per below sked]. Maranatha!

Now checking website http://www.overcomerministry.org/
with usual mixture of timezones including one which is not in effect anywhere, wrong frequencies for WBCQ, WRMI, but some of this new stuff included, with WTWW 9930 shown for only two hours at 12-14; however I am still hearing him at 1430, but by 1508 recheck it`s open carrier/dead air, until `Unshackled` finally starts up at 1517.

** CHINA. Firedrake [non] CNR1 jamming July 29: I was just about to skip searching for it this day until I ran across it on an unusual frequency and then sought out others:
17900, poor at 1348 with flutter; Aoki has this as one of countless 100-watt Sound of Hope nuisance frequencies. None in the 16s or 18s tho EAST TURKISTAN CRI channels also in: 17560 best, plus 17630, 17650

15265, fair at 1352 with het
15195, very poor at 1349
15115, fair at 1348 with heavy CCI
14700, fair at 1355; none in the 13s, 12s
11640, fair at 1357 // 14700; also on usual 11785, 11805, 11990
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, July 29 at 0531 is tonite`s anomaly from RHC: English frequency off the air, while 6010, 6060, 6125 and 6165 are more than enough. Circa 1345, 17730 is also off the air in Spanish while 17580 is audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Sporadic E opening into VHF fires up July 29 after monitoring snow on channel 2 for almost an hour, UT:

1452 on 2, fade in with f bug in LR, i.e. Televisa net-4 foro; more from SSW than SSE so not XHY and later IDed below as XEFB Monterrey NL

1452 on 3, also signs of a video signal here; 1455 fades in a bit more

1507 on 2, Azteca net-7 bug in UR with time & temp, probably XHTAU Tampico with Monterrey programming as usual mornings

1511 on 4, MUF briefly hits here with algo

1519 on 2, fades in f bug in LR again, and this time also TELEACTIVA in UR, i.e. XEFB-TV, Monterrey NL

1527 on 2, fade in HOY bug in LL, sponsor BECALOS in LR, CDT clock: Televisa net-2

1540 on 2, Televisa net-5 bug LR with animation, occasional audio

1542 on 3, net-5 with animation // 2; it`s letterboxed; at first without reaching color burst

1600 on 2, some CCI again as MUF dips and surges

1611 on 2, YL on screen is not blonde, unusual for Mexican TV; maybe still HOY show

1611 on 3, net-5 bug LR, still animation

1616 on 2, YL plugging her Twitter, mentions `Hola, México`, another program name, not Hoy? Also made out some large V`s on screen

1629 on 2, CCI mixture includes Gala TV swirl in UR = Televisa net-9, and apparently a court show with YL judge

1636 on 4, fade-in with ads including Colgate (3 syllables). BTW, colgar means hang up (as a phone), but not with a form like colgate

1642 on 4, Woody Woodpecker, net-5 LR

1648 on 2, Gala swirl, net-9 UR; this seems to the court show amid CCI

1700+, mostly gone and it`s lunch time

1744 on 2, novela with Azteca net-13 bug in UR

1759 on 3, algo fade-in with video only

1848 on 2, burst of a few seconds in Spanish, novela? bug in UR reminds me of TU CANAL in Juárez, but not positive. Behaved like meteor scatter, but signs of weak Es signals remain

1859 on 2, bug in UR looks like two lines in a circle, such as the number 11, but that`s not Once network`s logo; maybe just one vertical, i.e. Mundo Fox, i.e. XHRIO. Nothing further

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MOROCCO [and non]. 9579.1, July 29 at 0410, very poor carrier here, and a JBA one on 9580. Médi-1, Nador is well-known to be on 9579.1, and people logging ME music, Arabic or French without an ID on ``9580`` need to be sure of the exact frequency.

Saudi Arabia is also listed on 9580 at this time, so that could be the other signal as long as it`s not 9579+. Not 9580 Gabon either, which has not been confirmed on air at all for months. Before 0400 and at 0519 recheck I could detect only 9579.1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1650, July 29 at 0535 UT, `Red Eye Radio` is inbooming for a minute before fading down, no doubt KYHN ``Fort Smith AR`` really in OK. Affiliate list is just as mixed up as their politix, showing sic:
``KWHN 1320 AM / 1650 AM Fort Smith AR
KYHN 1320 AM Fort Smith AR.``
KYHN really 1650 has become quite uninteresting since their two months of promo stunting (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, July 29 at 0058-0059:54.5*, R. Chaski JBA carrier vs splash from 5990 CUBA and also jamming pulses audible with no Radio Martí; that`s 10 seconds later than two nights ago. July 30 JBA carrier vs noise level 0055-0100:00*, five point five seconds later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SERBIA [non]. 9685, July 29 at 0059, still no signal from IRS North American service; wonder if they QSYed without notice. Surely not to winter frequency yet, 6190 --- no, next check at 0056 July 30, not on either frequency. Time to check their own website for the latest info:http://voiceofserbia.org/program-schedule
Does it not show 9685 still in use until 0130? Of course not! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs July 27-28, 2013

** CHINA. Firedrake July 28, before 1300:
13795, good well atop victim CCI at 1248.

All the rest are CNR1 jammers, with operatic Chinese vocal music:
13480, good at 1249, unusual spot tnx SOH; none in the 12s
13530, good at 1249
14700, very good at 1251
14750, good at 1251
15195, poor-fair with flutter at 1251
15250, poor with CCI, het at 1252
15870, poor at 1253; none in the 16s, 17s, 18s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. Chances are high that at any given moment something will be amiss at RHC: July 28 tuning 49m at 0528 I find: 6165 has CCI and SAH, from what, Chad? 6125 is undermodulated as usually the case. 6060 is OK. 6010 is open carrier/dead air until modulation cuts on at 0529 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, July 28 at 0100v, R. Chaski check missed for once, but that`s OK, as I had just attended the Peruvian Independence Day festival in OKC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH AFRICA. 6190, July 28 at 0531, news in English, poor with splash from Brasil 6180, BBC of course via SOUTH AFRICA, listed 10 degree azimuth. Unseems // 7355 Ascension or way out of synch, but after 0532 ID they do match programming altho still not synched. Haven`t heard 6190 in quite a while, but not surprising as 7285 Sonder Grense via Meyerton is a regular, much better on 275 degree azimuth; both 100 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 6095, Sunday July 28 at 1305, VOA Radiogram tones. To see what`s been sent, and for info about upcoming transmissions, refer to http://voaradiogram.net/
roger in Germany also posts extensive reports, the latest being:http://www.rhci-online.de/VoA_Radiogram_2013-07-27.htm
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1679 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-2, 5085, UT Sunday July 28 at 0000 just after frequency change, instead of 2330 Saturday on 9930. If you don`t hear it at 2330, always check 0000. Also confirmed at 0400.5 UT Sunday July 28 on WTWW-1, 5830. Next: Sunday 2330v on 9930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 6115, UT Sunday July 28 circa 0245, WWCR is gone again from this frequency which was on with #4 programming the night before; maybe in use weeknights only? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1620, UT Sunday July 28 at 0119, Prof. Michio Kaku with `Science Fantastic` call-in show to 866-323-2538. He answers questions about science phoned in to his answering machine at any time; at the moment about dark matter. Mostly dominant signal but drops off at 0130, local sunset? FCC AM Query shows 0130 UT is the July sunset time for WTAW College Station TX, when it must cut from 10 to 1 kW; in August will be 0115.

Then a WTAW ID, College Station TX, but not sure if that was the Kaku station until checked his affiliate list, yes 6-9 pm CDT Saturday:http://tunein.com/radio/options/Science-Fantastic-p152208/
All stations air it at some time on Saturday or Sunday, one, two or three hours. Says he is on 130 stations plus SiriusXM. Also delivers a promo for supporting advertisers on his and other shows on ``this station``. (Instead of an axual commercial.)

It`s nice to hear a talk show with some genuine educational value on commercial radio. But this is hardly sufficient compensation for WTAW propagating anti-American, anti-science cretins Beck, Limbaugh and Hannity full-time to the tune of 44 hours per week. ``We Talk And Whine``? I suppose WTAW picks up Kaku since it`s in a college town with some intelligent people.

Is Michio on KAKU-LP, 88.5 in Kahului HI? No, nor any Hawaiian station. That`s OK; he`s not from Hawaii, but per Wikipedia:

``Kaku was born in San José, California to Japanese immigrant parents (with Tibetan DNA ancestry). His grandfather came to the United States to take part in the clean-up operation after the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake [citation needed]. His father was born in California but was educated in Japan and spoke little English. Both his parents were put in the Tule Lake War Relocation Center, where they met and where his brother was born.

At Cubberley High School in Palo Alto, Kaku assembled a particle accelerator in his parents' garage for a science fair project. His admitted goal was to generate "a beam of gamma rays powerful enough to create antimatter." At the National Science Fair in Albuquerque, New Mexico, he attracted the attention of physicist Edward Teller, who took Kaku as a protégé, awarding him the Hertz Engineering Scholarship. Kaku graduated summa cum laude at Harvard University in 1968 and was first in his physics class. . .`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11979, July 28 at 0520-0521+, another no-show for the single-digit CW intruder, just weak Turkey 11980. It used also to be active around 2100, not rechecked. There could have been/could also be various other times for it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
