Ascolti FM Luca Botto Fiora

Ascolti FM (ora italiana)

:-) Dopo un paio d'anni sono tornato a Rapallo-Santuario.

Giovedì 7 agosto 2014 (dietro il Santuario)
Due ascolti dalla Corsica.
16.26 - 93.100 MHz
ALTA SERENA - Calvi-Col de Salvi (F)
Musica locale, nazionale e internazionale.
Segnale buono
Per sentirla dovevo tenere il dipolo in mano in verticale,
per fortuna che c'era l'appoggio sul bordo del tavolo di sasso,
unico punto per escludere Radio Maria da Savona-S. Lorenzo.
-
17.10 - 95.500 MHz
NOSTALGIE CORSE - Calvi-Col de Salvi (F)
Pubblicità locale verso le 17.19.
Segnale sufficiente-insufficiente
Se toglievo la mano destra appoggiata sul ricevitore
o spostavo di poco il ginocchio sinistro a contatto
con il cavo penzolante dell'antenna spariva tutto! :-O

***

Venerdì 8 agosto 2014 (davanti il Santuario)
Un ascolto da...St. Tropez!!!
17.00 - 95.600 MHz
NRJ SAINT TROPEZ - Le Moulin Brûlat (F)
Musica dance e IDs.
Segnale buono-sufficiente
-
Non presente in FM List:
17.20 - 104.100 RADIO LATTEMIELE
Piemonte o Toscana?
-
Un altro per chi verifica il Piemonte o, comunque, ne sa qualcosa.
Non perché ho origini proprio nel Biellese, bensì per alcuni ascolti che a Rapallo-Santuario sono possibili.
In FM List viene citata la località Tracciolino in relazione ad un paio di postazioni, una a Netro ed una a Oropa. Cercando le esatte ubicazioni sulle mappe di Google o Bing, presso le coordinate di Netro corrisponderebbe soltanto boscaglia, gli impianti più vicini, sulla *provinciale del Tracciolino* (si chiama così) sarebbero quelli di Graglia-San Carlo (G.C. 45°34'05.2"N 7°56'52.0"E). Per quanto riguarda quella di Oropa, secondo Bing sarebbe più o meno a sud dell'omonimo complesso religioso, sotto il comune di Pollone, sempre a fianco della provinciale del Tracciolino (G.C. 45°36'12.8"N 7°58'59.6"E).
Il sito di RaiWay riporta una GR Parlamento su 91.3 con il nome di Netro. In FM List, sulla medesima frequenza, a pochi chilometri di distanza, risulta una RAI come Graglia e una R101 da Netro.
Magari sono troppo pignolo, però mi piacerebbe capirci qualcosa.
Grazie in anticipo per l'aiuto.

Glenn Hauser logs August 8-9, 2014

** AUSTRALIA. 15450, Aug 8 at 1416, English narration with S Asian accent, background of chirps, fair with flutter. It`s the current all-English sesquihour starting 1400 from RBA at 310 degree azimuth from Kununurra (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11716, 11748, 11812, 11844, Aug 8 at 0553, distorted spurs from 11780 RNA are audible centered about here at 32 kHz intervals, but none further.

Next check Aug 9 at 0103 tuning across the 25m band --- no spurs! But that`s because 11780 itself is off. Aha, working on repairing it? 0132 recheck, 11780 is back on, and again spurs audible circa 11750 and 11810, but none further and these not too strong. Still, *any* spurs at all from this are unacceptable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 16100, Aug 8 at 1319, open carrier/dead air with flutter, still the same at 1340. Got to be a CNR1/Firedrake jammer as often heard here, minus any modulation. I figure it will cut off at 1400 sharp, but it keeps on going past 1404, 1414. No funxional jammers heard anywhere else 12-19 MHz, except the perpetual 19m inband trio, 15115, 15195, 15265 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, Aug 9 at 0119, RHC is missing from here, so can`t tell whether it would be in wrong language, while 5025 Rebelde is on.

For those who might think I never have anything good to say about RHC:
9810, Aug 9 at 0138, is *not* producing the usual buzz-field above and below (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also IRAN [and non]

** CYPRUS. 11558-11578, Aug 9 at 0105, strong OTH radar pulsing, possibly from here, but can`t hear any broadcasts underneath.

9595-9625, Aug 9 at 0125, strong OTH radar pulsing, possibly from here, main victim being 9605 KBSWR Spanish via WHRI; while Spain, q.v., is absent from 9620: just as well (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also UNIDENTIFIED 9170

** EGYPT [and non]. 12070, Aug 9 at 0101, R. Cairo with extreme distortion, audible out to 12055-12085.

11710, Aug 9 at 0104, R. Cairo is dead air, or maybe JBM; the het it makes with Argentina on hi side is louder than it or the RAE modulation, but which might suffice without the heavy QRM.

9315, Aug 9 at 0122, third R. Cairo Spanish frequency has VG signal level, but just-barely modulation level --- can`t have one without the other!

9965, Aug 9 at 0122 and still at 0137, R. Cairo Arabic channel is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also UNIDENTIFIED 9170

** GREECE. 9420, 9935 and 15630, ERTOpen are all missing Aug 9 in the 01-02 hour; at 0139 I can hear a very poor signal from Iran on 9420 as a result (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9525.9, Aug 8 at 1301, VOI with fair carrier, flutter, no QRM, but just barely modulated with presumed English, useless (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN [and non]. 13785, Aug 8 at 1419, VIRI Arabic service, VP with flutter, but NO het on the hi side. Hmmm, router in another room is unplugged due to earlier lightning, and sure `nuff when I plug it in, the 13786 `carrier` comes back, grrr.

11760, Aug 9 at 0103, CCI detectable under RHC, and still no 12025, so VIRI continues to collide with Cuba; at 0132, RHC has faded a bit on 11760, so the QRM is audibler, and // 9860.

9790, Aug 9 at 0124, Iran NA finishes, opening Kazakh service via Sirjan, fair with flutter. Comparing to 9860 Spanish via Kamalabad, 9860 is stronger and steadier, but lower modulation and hum.

11820, Aug 9 at 0134, the other Kazakh frequency via Sirjan, has good signal and would be listenable for nice music later were it not for the heavy splash from 11825 Brother Scare WRMI, aimed right down our throats (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also GREECE

** OKLAHOMA. Area tropo August 8 from turn-on at 1430 UT finds lots of bad signals on UHF channels; mainly Tulsa stations, even when antenna aimed away from there.

RF 30, Aug 8 at 1430 UT, from NW I am getting OETA on its four channels, which has to be K30AE-D, Alva, and wonderfully, none of the channels are breaking up as they do constantly even under dead conditions from parent KETA-13 OKC. K30AE-D is 15 kW, and there are five others in the Alva-Cherokee/Cherokee-Alva ``market``, on 15, 17, 20, 22, 28, all of which are only 500 watts, one-thirtieth the power of OETA. 15 is blocked by OKC, 22 by Tulsa, but I do have bad signals on 17 and 20, which could also be from bigger sigs elsewhere.

Aiming west, I have a couple of bad signals on 43 and 49 which could be two of the six Seiling OK translators, also 500-watt range. No point in speculating further.

RF 45, KOTV ``6`` x 3, Tulsa holds up almost until ``noon``, 17 UT, which is really 10:30 am by sun time (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OMAN. 9500, Aug 9 at 0056, RSO on proper frequency for a change, Qur`an with reverb, fair (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, Aug 9 at 0057, JBA carrier from R. Chaski, until cutoff at 0107:31* which is six seconds later than yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 15385, Aug 9 at 0106, very surprised to find REE with a very good signal on this unlisted frequency, altho they do use it earlier in the day; forgot to change it after 2300 to 9620, which is missing? But this is much better than 9620 ever is, listed 230 degrees. 15385 could easily be on an abandoned North American azimuth, test? (6055 in French and English at 2300-0055 is no further north than 290 degrees.) 15385 is synchronized with 9535, otherwise the best signal for us, and with 15160, which is ordinary audible fairly, but colliding with Australia during this hour.

Program is an historical narrative about Spain in the 19th century, with classical music background, occasional clips by some author with a heavy gringo accent; one book mentioned is ``El Labarinto Español``. I`m tempted to drop DXing and listen to this for content, but compromise by putting it on the backup PL-880 receiver and taking the phone from the DX398 off one ear. 15385 keeps going past 0130, and will be surprised if it recur 24 hours later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, Aug 9 after 0114, SLBC carrier is on, poor with flutter, 0114:46 music starts (like joined in progress), mistimesignal ends at 0115:17.5 --- they`re slipping, and sign on in Aoki-listed Bengali, since this is Saturday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, UT Sat Aug 9 at 0123, in accordance with WRMI`s new program grid, no more `PCJ Radio International` (which had been repeating for a few? weeks), but instead a preacher; at least half the old hour remains DXy, with another `Wavescan` repeat now from 0130; Ray Robinson reading a feature at 0137 check. Moderate jamming level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1680, Aug 8 at 0606 UT, ``16-80, KGED`` ID audible amid storm crashes, but fades in stronger at 0607 UT resuming financial advice show. Fresno CA, with nothing to impede it between here and there. Opposite direxion and slightly closer however, is station with equal 1 kW ND, WOKB Winter Garden FL, which I`ve yet to hear, also with nothing in between. Maybe it`s the fast SAH sometimes against KGED, if not WPRR MI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9170, Aug 9 at 0127, find open carrier/dead air, and guess it might be the missing 9965 Cairo transmitter far astray; but immediately blown away by ute blaats, unlike the OTH radars heard earlier (under CYPRUS) but possibly another kind of radar, spreading 9160-9185, and still going at 0140. Meanwhile with BFO on at 0128, I can hear some very weak Spanish 2-way in the middle of it on 9170: they must be having a very hard time hearing each other, and raising their voices doesn`t help much (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Per chi ancora non lo conoscesse, oltre ad una splendida risoluzione grafica, tra le varie opzioni ad esempio ci sono un'ottima visualizzazione della grayline, lo zoom e l'animazione avanti e indietro della curva-notte attorno all'ora ed il giorno corrente.
Generalmente si acquisisce tramite Google Play, in caso di incompatibilità del dispositivo (come il mio tablet recente ma molto economico sul quale Play non è utilizzabile), ecco il link di un articolo che illustra in generale come acquisire apps di Android tramite altri sistemi operativi:

http://www.navigaweb.net/2013/03/scaricare-le-app-apk-android-sul-pc.html

Quando si esce dall'applicazione, come nel mio caso, appare un avviso anomalo: basta annullarlo e riparte regolarmente. Però non è detto, magari dipende dal dispositivo sul quale viene installato.

Updated as of August 8:

DX/SWL/Media Programshttp://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html

World of Radio Schedulehttp://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html

Alan Roe`s Hitlist of SWBC Stationshttp://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm

** BRAZIL. 11780, Aug 8 at 0056-0103 survey, the extremely distorted spurs from RNA have *not* been removed. On the DX-398`s one-kHz steps, I find them ranging as follows:

11652-11661, 11682-11692, 11710-11724, 11740-11758; 11804-11818, 11838-11848, 11898-11908. The closest ones are very strong, while the further ones are progressively weaker. Peaks are close to the center of each range. Furthermore, the fundamental is splashing out to 11765-11795.

Some of the stations these interfere with: 11710 Cairo, 11711 Argentina, 11760 Cuba, 11765 SRDA Curitiba, 11840 Cuba. There is probably one around 11870 but WEWN is strong enough to overcome it. 11815 would also be a Brasilian victim but R. Brasil Central appears not to be on the air. 11905 Sri Lanka (after 0114) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 12140, Aug 8 at 0053, RHC is VP vs CODAR; and on 18210, very poor but no QRM, the second and third harmonix of 6070.

9781-9841, approx. range of buzz field surrounding undermodulated 9810 RHC, Aug 8 at 0110; worst peaks circa plus/minus 15 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 12070, Aug 8 at 0055, R. Cairo with heavy crackling Spanish modulation, spreading out to 12050-12090.

11710, Aug 8 at 0100, R. Cairo is JBM with het from LRA on the hi side, and also from the edge of the second-order extremely distorted spur from RNA 11780, which is now ranging from 11710 to 11724; see BRAZIL

9965, Aug 8 at 0105, R. Cairo whine, with JBM Arabic

9315, Aug 8 at 0105, R. Cairo Spanish service, open carrier/dead air except for very lo-pitched hum (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [non]. 9955, August 8 at 0401 UT, WRMI has cleared away other programming to relay RFI`s English broadcast ``Paris Live`` at 6 am there, so maybe really live, world news presented in a rather informal manner. 9955 reception is only fair, aimed away from us, but very good on the webcast until cut off abruptly at 0430 during interview about ebola; I guess RFI continues English for another semihour, but not here! Preceded and followed by WRMI IDs in Spanish, and at 0430 by Esolvaquia en español.

New August 1 schedule grid of WRMI shows RFI at 0400-0430 UT except Sundays. See the August NASWA Journal where Richard Cuff writes about RFI English programming on demand, implying that RFI is no longer on SW at all, while it still is, in French and several languages other than English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN [and non]. 12025.6, Aug 8 at 0131, unID JBA carrier here; checking again for VIRI Spanish which ought to be moving to 12025 to get out from under RHC on 11760 --- but I am still hearing traces of it there // 9860 at usual poor level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGSET)

** GREECE. 9935, Aug 8 at 0109, ERTOpen, good with Greek music; better on // 9420 but with more fading, maybe caused by Iran CCI; and // 15630 is JBA. If WTWW-2 was on 9930 until 0100, that would have been too close for comfort (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. Checking out the off-and-on audio of `TV-OK`, KXOK-LD, RF 31 and 32 in Enid, morning of August 6, I find it`s coming thru on left channel only. No, it`s not my patch cords from the DTV converter to the VCR to the monitor; checked those and reversed them, still left only. It had occurred to me that the lack of any audio for months might have been due to out-of-phase stereo channels somewhere along the line, like in the transmission if not my reception, but unseems the case; besides, when that happens with radio stations, you still hear some audio trying to break thru.

Which raises the question about DTV standards and stereo audio: are all channels automatically bi-channeled, whether they provide true stereo separation from the input outset, or not? There is no stereo `pilot` to be seen. Or can they transmit in true single-channel mono if preferred (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OMAN. 15140, August 8 at 0113, JBA carrier, presumably RSO again, since it`s missing from scheduled channel 9500 during this bihour, and not on alternate 15355 either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, August 8 at 0048, R. Chaski with JBA carrier, heavy splash form 5990 China via Cuba. That`s off before 0100, and I can still catch the Chaski cutoff at 0107:25* which is 18 seconds later than a trinite ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7615-USB, Aug 8 around 0105, weak formal contacts, no doubt the Civil Air Patrol (around Iowa?) net I have been hearing. No reply from the one whose E-mail address was announced and copied; this organization is after all ``Civil``, paramilitary, not military, but they try to be more gung-ho and secretive than MARS. Years ago I happened to meet someone in CAP (I think it was in Albuquerque), and was rather put off by his enthusiasm for inspecting the gore at crash sites (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Re my log: ``13558, July 31 at 0118, beacon sending only ``MTI`` (hmm, Manti, Utah?)`` --- Harold Frodge in MI has also heard this HIFER beacon on 13555.6, and says it`s from KI4MTI, in Ellicott City MD. HF Underground doesn`t know where it is. Looks like a licensed ham call. However, ARRL lookup goes to:
``HOGAN, WILLIAM T, AB3MM
2161 Colonial Oak Way
Stone Mountain, GA 30087
ATTN: WILLIAM T. HOGAN
Previous call sign: KI4MTI
Previous license class: Technician
Licensee ID: L00283084
License Class: Extra
FRN: 0003973419
Radio Service: HA
Issue Date: 07/02/2010
Expire Date: 09/08/2020
Date of Last Change: 08/31/2013 (License Canceled)``

Harold replies with his source, an entry from 3.5 years ago:http://www.on5ex.be/clipboard_view_unreg.php

Id Station Start date Start time Frequency Comments Link Posted by
397 AB3MM 2011-02-14 15:30:00 13557540 HiFER Beacon; 5wpm CW ID=MTI @
4.24mw into indoor folded dipole http://www.lwca.org/ KI4MTI

So that makes the frequency 13557.54 kHz, with 4.24 milliwatts! But is he in Maryland or Georgia now?

Unfortunately no hits in that listing on AJO or AZ, other 13 MHz weak`uns I was hearing July 31 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WBCQ has canceled without notice the Thursday 2100 UT airing of WORLD OF RADIO on 7490, which had restarted on May 21, as still displayed on the home page http://www.wbcq.com/

Checking the webcast at 2128 August 7 after our nap, expecting a reconfirmation, instead we hear a preacher, eventually IDing as the Academy of Bible Literacy, Tallahassee FL; he panders to SW listeners saying they are smart enough to avoid the internet, but refers us anyway to his website which reveals:

``Academy of Bible Literacy, Tallahassee FL: BACK ON SHORTWAVE! Cool
Starting Aug. 7, 2014, Thursdays at 5 pm EST [sic] on WBCQ 7490 khz``

So it`s a full hour, also displacing `The Watchman Program` at 2130. As for WOR, we`ll have to wait until next Wednesday at 2100 to hear whether that airing remain. WOR is considered filler for unsold time.

WOR 1733 confirmed on WWRB webcast, UT Friday August 8: 0329 preacher stops; respectful pause and hum, and WOR starts about 0330, as usual extremely distorted and overmodulated until turned down, but not enough; some distortion remains, also on 3185 which has an otherwise good signal. No comments from Dave before or after, this week. Next:
Saturday 0630 & 1430 on HLR 7265-CUSB
UT Sunday 0030 on WRMI 9495 (probably 1732)
UT Sunday 0131 on KVOH 9975 (assuming transmitter fixed since last week)
UT Monday 0259v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB
Monday 2100 on WRMI 15770 --- etc.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, Aug 8 before 0100, WTWW-2 is not on, but bandscanning on up, by the time I get to 9930 at 0108, day frequency is not on either; rechecking 5085, now it`s on, so must have QSYed circa 0100 instead of usual(?) 0000. After 0100, WTWW-1 still on 9475 with PPP, and WTWW-2 still on 12105 with another PPP (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 750, August 7 at 0559 UT, Spanish from KAMA El Paso TX is still cheating, overcoming the clear channel station entitled to be heard even here, WSB Atlanta GA; giving phone (?)522-1235 for Univisión América call-ins (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15480.0, Aug 8 at 0119, open carrier, poor with fades. HFCC, Aoki and EiBI show the only thing scheduled is CNR1 Beijing at 23-13; or maybe Cairo left transmitter on past 0045 end of Arabic to S America? Aoki excludes that one, maybe a wooden registration anyway. 15480 mystery is adjacent to a JBA carrier on 15475+, no doubt Kuwait, the latter about one 40-Hz click on the hi side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 0450 UT August 8

Glenn Hauser logs August 6-7, 2014

** BRAZIL. 11749 & 11811, Aug 6 at 0554 check, distorted spurs from 11780 RNA are audible but weak, having been inaudible at 0144. Looks like some progress is being made.

11780, Aug 7 at 0154 check I am not hearing any spurs, altho my household noise level has not been suppressed as much as possible.

11750 weak, and 11810 weaker, distorted RNA spurs still audible especially at modulation peaks of 11780, Aug 7 at 0524, but no further ones (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammers morning of August 6:

13530, August 6 at 1253, CNR1 jammer, fair-good with flutter; MUF about 14 MHz, nothing audible higher at this hour. It turns out this one is running a few seconds behind all the others then heard. 13530 also at 1337, good with flutter

12560, August 6 at 1255, CNR1 jammer, poor, ahead of 13530; 12560 is almost synch with 11785, echo apart, and off at 1300* after timesignal

12980, August 6 at 1255, CNR1 jammer, very poor, // 12560; 12980 also at 1335 August 6, now good level

13970, August 6 at 1338, CNR1 jammer, poor with het

14870, August 6 at 1338, CNR1 jammer, good with flutter

15115, 15195, 15265, August 6 at 1339, CNR1 jammers, fair, but MUF is about 16 MHz, nothing at all on 17 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. 13790, Aug 7 at 0529, poor signal in Chinese, could be either RFA via Saipan at 04-07, or CNR1 jamming.

11615, Aug 7 at 1358. Tone test goes to VOA Yankee-Doodle-Dandy formal sign-on from ``Washington DC``, very poor with flutter; 1400 maybe adding CNR1 jamming. This one is really via Tinang, Philippines at 14-15 only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 11710, Aug 7 at 0154, R. Cairo is JBM with LRA het
12070, Aug 7 at 0154, R. Cairo very distorted but not spreading much
 9315, Aug 7 at 0155, R. Cairo is fair with some modulation
 9965, Aug 7 at 0155, R. Cairo, JBM with music, whine
13850, Aug 7 at 0230, R. Cairo, suppressed and distorted modulation
13850, Aug 7 at 0527, R. Cairo, now with talk breaking up
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9935, Aug 7 at 0156, ERTOpen is on but only fair signal compared to good // 9420 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN [non]. 13786, Aug 7 at 0530, not much signal from VIRI Arabic on 13785 but the carrier/het is there, as it has been at other hours beyond the VIRI span 0530-1430; and also hearing similar pitches at various other spots on the 13 MHz band, so I must conclude it is of local origin and not jamming or their own transmitter problem; never mind my previous speculation, also on WOR 1733 that Israel might be jamming it, however apropos that might be. No one replied to my query whether anyone else was hearing it; a ``no`` would have sufficed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 17675, Aug 7 at 0231, DRM from RNZI is not on, tho AM audible on 15720 as well as Australia on 17795, 17840; I had been hearing DRM during the previous hour on previous days, but not clear if it had been staying on until published start at 0250 or breaking (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 7325-7330-7335, Aug 7 at 0519, DRM noise, i.e. as scheduled, RRI French via Galbeni (followed by English at 0530 also in DRM but switching to Tiganeshti site, why? Both are for Europe but carrying on to NAm). Not to be confused with R. Andernach, Germany, already IDed on 7320-7325-7330 a trihour earlier.

BTW, Lou Johnson in Atlanta has been complaining about unscheduled QRDRM to WWCR on 9350 until 0000, sometimes audible after WWCR closes. Is that really DRM, and Andernach too? Andernach should at least register its transmissions within the SWBC bands even if the public is not privy to them (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. 1521, Aug 7 at 0333, het upon KOKC OKC, no doubt the 2-megawatt BSKSA heralding start of season?? Tnx to Brandon Jordan tip from Memphis, who was getting this and many other TA carriers above 1000 kHz during the previous hour, including 1215 UK, which I also detected in a quick check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1732 monitoring: confirmed on WRMI 9955, Wednesday August 6 at 1315, poor signal, but clear.

Also confirmed on WBCQ 7490 webcast, August 6 from 2100

WORLD OF RADIO 1733 monitoring: confirmed first airing on WRMI 9955, UT Thursday August 7 at 0330; sufficient signal, but the Cairene mess on 9965 is causing some second-adjacent channel interference. Also confirmed after 1230 UT Thursday August 7 on 9955, atop the CCCCI from France via Taiwan. Next:

Thursday 2100 on WBCQ 7490v
UT Friday 0326v on WWRB 3185
UT Saturday 0630 & 1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB
UT Sunday 0030 on WRMI 9495 (probably 1732)
UT Sunday 0131 on KVOH 9975
UT Monday 0300v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB
Monday 2100 on WRMI 15770, etc.

** UZBEKISTAN. 9670, August 6 at 1308, very poor signal, much weaker than CRI Russian 9675, as I am rechecking for CVC The Voice Asia, believed to have shifted from 9660, where I am only hearing the China radio war.

9670, Aug 7 at 1244, poor signal in Asian language, presumed CVC The Voice Asia, ex-9660, as 9670 is an alternate frequency for this on same Tashkent parameters, 11-14 in Hindi; no ACI from 9675 CRI Russian before 1300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
