Glenn Hauser logs August 13-14, 2014

** BRAZIL. 11780, Aug 14 at 0105 still with no spurs, so henceforth will note this only if they recur.

5990, Aug 14 at 0110, third RNA frequency is on again tonight, quite weaker than // 6180 with sports coverage (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 18210, Aug 14 at 0121, RHC Spanish poor-fair but quite readable on third harmonic of 6070; better than 12140, the second harmonic, which is JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. R. Cairo chex UT Aug 14:
9965, Aug 14 at 0105, R. Cairo Arabic service with suppressed modulation, and putting out pulsing from 9955 to 9975. At 0113 no modulation, only the pulsing and now same sounds on several spur ranges, weakening the further from 9965 and peaking roughly in the middle of each: 9860-9867, 9876-9883, 9918-9928, 9940-9950, 9980-9990, 10002-10008, 10025-10033!

12070, Aug 14 at 0118, open carrier/dead air with some hum, --- but it`s just a pause, as then very loud and distorted Spanish modulation resumes; splashing out to 12045-12105.

9315 & 11710, Aug 14 at 0118, both the other R. Cairo Spanish are off! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE. 13740, Aug 13 at 1930, RFI French IDs, titulaires, fair signal, on 200 degree, 500 kW beam from Issoudun (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [non]. 5950, Thu Aug 14 at 0104, RFI Musique, fair, one of the two blox which have surprisingly shown up on WRMI alternate frequency to 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1734, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 12025, Aug 14 at 0106, VRII resumed here, poor in Spanish, better on // 9860. Presumably ex-11760, but RHC is very strong tonight and might be totally blocking Iran there; 12025 was missing Aug 13; and on Aug 12, José Ronaldo Xavier, Paraíba, was hearing both 11760 and 12025 as well as 9860 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1734, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 13650, Aug 13 at 1926, R. Kuwait reactivated, Arabic talk, fair with flutter, after several days on 15475 instead. Good news for LRA36 Antarctica, if they are still trying to broadcast on 15476, not reported lately altho this hour is around their peak time on weekdays. 13650 off by 2000, so I then wait for same transmitter to pop on 17550.

17550, Aug 13 at *2002:48, R. Kuwait carrier comes on after QSY from 13650, both to North America Central & West, also ex-15475. Joins Arabic in progress, good with heavy flutter, 2005 nice romantic-sounding music. On this high band, reception is quite variable, but today is a good day. Only two other signals audible on 16m now, 17790 WRMI, and 17850 Spain, not fluttery, but roughly equal levels.

15540, Aug 13 after 2000, R. Kuwait English service also audible fairly, with western pop music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1734, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, Aug 14 at 0105, very poor carrier from R. Chaski until cutoff at 0107:59.5*, which is 12 seconds later than 48 hours ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1733 monitoring: confirmed on WBCQ 7490v webcast, Wednesday Aug 13 at 2100.

WORLD OF RADIO 1734 monitoring: confirmed first broadcast UT Thursday Aug 14 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, fair signal, but Studio DX in Italian before 0330 was coming in better. Next:

Thursday 1230 on WRMI 9955
UT Friday 0326v on WWRB 3185
Friday 2130 on WRMI 7570 (across North America) & 15770 [NEW; may be previous edition]
Saturday 0630 & 1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB
UT Sunday 0100 on WRMI 5950 [ex-0030 on 9495; may be previous 1733]
UT Sunday 0131 on KVOH 9975
UT Monday 0259v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB
Tuesday 1100 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 0630 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB
Wednesday 1315 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 2100 on WBCQ 7490v
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12105, Aug 13 at 1927, WTWW-3 Bibling a begat-list, but in Spanish as ``hijo de, hijo de,`` etc. 1928 break for ID in English by Ted. Only poor-fair signal, while neighbor 12160 WWCR is blasting in (also on 13845, and good enough on 15825), so I conclude WTWW-3 must be running much reduced power (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Thisi report dispatched at 0420 UT August 14

Glenn Hauser logs August 12-13, 2014

** BRAZIL. 9664v, Aug 13 at 0143, no signal from Voz Missionária, must be off, since other ZYs are in well enough on 9630v, 9645v and 11855v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11780, Aug 13 at 0138, no spurs from RNA for the third night in a row. 5990 is also on again tonight // 6180 at 0147 Aug 13 and with same comparison I made last night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 1610, Aug 13 at 0151 UT, music looping ENE/WSW, 0158 UT Spanish announcement, no doubt CHHA Toronto; was also hearing it a few minutes earlier on the caradio. By no means a regular here, at some 1100 miles with odd 6.25 kW; day and nite patterns are both circles tangent westward with minor lobe eastward. Audible tnx to the deletion of IBOC by 1600 KATZ St Louis a few months ago, which N0UIH assumed would only be temporary; strangely, 1600 KEPN Denver (Lakewood) also deleted IBOC at about the same time, clearing 1610 for DX here in all direxions. But CHHA is the only broadcaster in North America on 1610, as the FCC is keeping 1610 for all those TIS/HAR reluctant to move to 1710 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6270, Aug 13 at 0146, RHC Spanish weakly audible as usual on leapfrog of 6060 over 6165 English. About the same level as on 18210 at same time which is 3 x 6070 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. R. Cairo anomalies, all good to very good signal levels but:
12070, Aug 13 at 0130, Spanish crackling and distorted spreading 12065-12075. Could be and has been, worse, but still unlistenable
11710, Aug 13 at 0138, still OFF; but not much from 11711- Argentina
 9965, Aug 13 at 0141, open carrier/dead air except for lo hum and occasional crackle; Arabic disservice
 9315, Aug 13 at 0144, Spanish distorted and suppressed but much better than 12070
13850, Aug 13 at 0154, Cairo transmitter already on with big hum and motorboating, then distorted modulation as Qur`an audible. The other three frequencies above are still on, so same as non-11710 unit? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9935, Aug 13 at 0141, ERTOpen is on tonight, but this is one of those occasions, about once a week, when only this transmitter suffers from motorboating, and unstable/warbling carrier with BFO on. // better and unmarred 9420 with Greek music, while 15630 is JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 12025, Aug 13 at 0137, no signal from VIRI in Spanish --- it had moved here and heard on Aug 10 & 11; not logged on Aug 12, and not sure if I noticed it or not. But now it`s back to:

11760, Aug 13 at 0138, VIRI Spanish audible under RHC, and // 9860 stilted Spanish. Why didn`t they stay on clear 12025?? Old habits die hard. Kazakh service also audible on 11820 with heavy 11825 WRMI splash (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 4810, Aug 13 at 0149, trace of audio vs CODAR, and LSB tuning essential vs the uteblob on hi side. Usually I can only detect a carrier here. Presumed R. Logos, OAW9A, Chazuta, 1 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, Aug 12 at 0051, JBA carrier from R. Chaski, until cutoff at 0107:47.5* which is 5 seconds later than yesterday. (Date correct: this item overlooked in previous report; and no check on UT Aug 13) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15770 & 7570, Tue Aug 12 after 2100, WRMI `F` hour breakway from TOM now contains `Media Network Plus` from PCJ Radio International. It`s another replay of the hour-long monthly edition for July to cover Keith`s vacation to Cambodia; includes his VOA parody, and then a long interview with Jonathan Marks for the rest of the hour. PCJ had previously disappeared from the 9955 schedule, so this is presumably the only time for it on any WRMI transmitter, and not known on any other SW station either. I started listening on 15770, and when it began to fade around 2120, switched to // 7570, which was coming in well enough and building. Note: only this one is on the northwest beam across North America!

Jeff White points out that there is now a schedule grid for all the `F` blox which are attributed to Family Stations, colored red on the graphic frequency schedule. This program schedule is not on the same page as the 9955 programming, but just below the frequency schedule grid, current URL: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nEVwCMB9RSKowLzLXamyayVpCzjmPAw_SB1r3YOdzQc/edit?pli=1#gid=0
which I have tinyurled to:http://tinyurl.com/kjchgca
or reached thru homepage http://www.wrmi.net > programming > transmission schedule. Note: if you have downloaded previous frequency schedules, you may get an old one which still exist on the web at different incredibly complex googURLs.

From that, the DX programs on WRMI frequencies other than 9955:
Historias de Radio: Mon 0430-0500; Fri 0130-0200
Antena DX: Thu 0430-0500; Sat 0100-0130
Viva Miami: Fri 0430-0445; Mon/Wed/Fri 1015-1030; Wed & Sat 2115-2130, Thu 0130-0145

Some other programs of interest:
Blues Radio International: Tue 0430-0500; Thu 2130-2200; Sat 0130-0200
Trova Libre: Wed 0430-0500; Mon 0100-0130

EU News: Tue & Thu 1015-1030; Wed 2100-2115; Sun 2115-2130
From Moscow With Love: Wed 2130-2200
RFI Musique: Wed 0100-0200, Thu 0100-0130

Frequencies for System F:
0100-0200  5950, WRMI-13, 181 degrees
0430-0500  5985, WRMI-2,  222 degrees
1000-1030  5850, WRMI-8,  355 degrees
2100-2200 15770, WRMI-9,   44 degrees
2100-2200  7570, WRMI-11, 315 degrees

Jeff says the reason for moving from 9495 to 5950 is that the higher frequency is tending to skip over main target Cuba.

5950, UT Wed Aug 13 at 0135, RFI musique with fast SAH, poor signal but not much QRM from 5952+ Bolivia tonight. HFCC & Aoki show the CCI is: IRAN in Tajik at 0050-0220, 500 kW, 46 degrees from Sirjan.

Jeff White is also asking for reports at any hour on 11730, especially from eastern N America and Europe, since WRMI-4 has been changed from 160 to 44 degree beam. It`s all Overcomer except at 23-24 Fámily Radio in Spanish.

I have noted that there are many other users of 11730 during the day; we`re about 90 degrees off from Okee, so not very good here, and at 0138 some CCI can be heard under BS, presumably Vatican as scheduled until 0200 via UZBEKISTAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 0347 UT August 13

Glenn Hauser logs August 11-12, 2014

** AUSTRALIA. 12365-USB, Aug 12 at 1356, frequency list from 2 to 16 MHz and then live ``Charleville Radio`` call or traffic list; i.e. VMC in Queensland which is mainly for marine weather; no sign at the moment of its sibling VMW in Wiluna WA on 12362 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11780, Aug 12 at 0058, RNA still without spurs, also at 0538; now 11810 is marred by splash from 11825 WRMI BS, not RNA.

5990, Aug 12 at 0103, RNA reactivated, first time heard here since July 25; with 10:03 timecheck and `Nacional Informa` ID only for 300 kW on 980. As usual sufficient but notably weaker signal, than 6180, 11780; however, 5990 sounds a bit louder with more modulation than on 6180 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. R. Cairo chex August 12:
9965, Aug 12 at 0053, Arabic music with big crackle
9315, Aug 12 at 0053, Spanish, good signal level; however, poor and undermodulated, distorted, but best of the lot overall
11710, Aug 12 at 0054, OFF, leaving 11711- Argentina in the clear!
12070, Aug 12 at 0054, Good signal level but suppressed, distorted modulation in Spanish but no spurs or crackles at the moment
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. KOSU, the split-personality Hyde-&-Jekyll outlet, once a proud public radio station, now tries so hard to be hip, with:http://crazysmartradio.org/
I admit to being partial to the smart part.

Deal with The Spy a biyear ago led to Classical music being banned from the main signal as a result, but demoted to HD2 (I think). On http://www.kosu.org I can`t find anything about their IBOC, but there is a link to Classical 24, http://139.78.176.129:8080/classics.mp3
This is still branded as KOSU, automatically IDing at 1602 UT Aug 12 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 11795, UT Tue Aug 12 at *0112:12, carrier on from REE, adding IS a few seconds later. 0115 opening Emisión Sefarad, VG signal and no apology for dead air last week. The YLs producing the program probably haven`t a clue what happens to it beyond the studio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, Aug 12 at 0114:46, SLBC starts musical prélude like clockwork, and mistimesignal ends at 0118:18.5, ditto; poor signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 13830, Aug 12 at 0539, VOA French via BOTSWANA now has no blob QRM on the hi side; weaker than competing simulFrench on 13840 from Japan via Madagascar (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 7570, Aug 11 at 1931, WRMI has already gone to 24-hour BS schedule here, rather than from Aug 12. At this hour it`s very poor but // fair 11730 which has also gone 24h, and much better 11825, and sufficient 15770.

15770 at 2100 Aug 11, I am rechecking whether WORLD OF RADIO airs and on time, but it doesn`t. After BZ ID after BS block, `La Rosa de Tokio` starts, the hour-long DX program from antipodal Argentina. And now doing the same on // 7570 with a poor signal this early, but at least it`s aimed inward.

Now that 15770 and 7570 are also running 24 hours, there is a one-hour breakaway from BS at 21-22 for RMI programming; we hope that WOR has been shifted to some other day, preferably fresher Friday or Saturday.

9495, Aug 12 at 0051 is gone, as per new schedule, when it had also been carrying RMI DX and other programming at 00-01. I`m not sure why, as 9495 was doing a decent job, better than a lower band. But Jeff White tells me this block is shifted to 5950 an hour later at 01-02, and so it has been: `La Rosa de Tokio` again heard UT Tuesday Aug 12, joining in progress a bit late at 0100:30. So we expect WOR to be within this hour, but preferably not at 0130 UT Sundays since that would be at the same time as on 9975 KVOH.

Before 0100, at 0052 check, 5950 now has Fámily Radio`s remaining token programming in Spanish; no longer // 5015 which is still with BS. At 0052 we find WRMI BS on all these: 15770 (now very good), 11825, 11730, 7730, 7570, 5015. Further chex of new schedule:

11730, Aug 12 at 0536, WRMI BS now is CCI to NHK French via FRANCE, about equal level here, and also abutting 11725 RNZI.

7570, Aug 12 at 1353, still good signal with BS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12105, Aug 11 at 1926 I find open carrier/dead air from WTWW-3 instead of Bibling; I leave a receiver on this and find there is still no modulation past 2115 when I quit monitoring. No one minding the store, wasting countless kWh! While the juice I expend on monitoring this is negligible.

12105, Aug 12 at 0542, I find that WTWW-3 is still on and propagating, and now modulating too with something new: English programming not // 5830 or 5085, and obviously not Bible Worldwide either. Guest on phone does most of the talking, about an ``occult, ultraviolet place``. Turns out to be Trey Smith, who has made a long video on YouTube about Noah to try to prove there really was a worldwide flood. Something about god in a nutshell (hmmm).

0550 program break at odd time, as `Radio Disclosure`, and canned Ted Randall ID for WTWW. It seems Ted is intimately involved with this nonsense, linked by name from the Radio Disclosure website, which is hosted by his wife`s web company. But the Ted page is blank. The site also says ``Check for radio stations in your area. Radio Disclosure is heard on International Shortwave Radio worldwide`` --- but no details about any of them (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs August 10-11, 2014

** ALGERIA [non]. 13820, Aug 10 at 1927, RTA via FRANCE is the only SW frequency I can find with some soporific music suitable for my napping, i.e. Qur`an; but soon on to peppier secular music and Arabic talk; fair signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AUSTRALIA. 11590, Aug 11 at 1320, mostly nice S Asian music including ``Abide with Me`` hymn tune till 1345 RBA ID briefly in English. On Mondays that would be Tamil service, switching at 1330 to Hindi, per EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11780, Aug 11 at 0113, and again at 0540, RNA spurless! Two chex in a row! Keep it up, but we must continue monitoring for resumed out-of-whackiness (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, Aug 11 at 0538, RHC English with heavy SAH of a few Hz, surely the result of a second RHC carrier colliding; but none of the other English frequencies are missing this time, and no double-audio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ECUADOR. 6050.0, UT Mon Aug 11 at 0106, the real HCJB with solo song, reminiscent of ``El Condor Pasa``; poor signal but better than usual. Presumably during Quichua block Sun-Mon, while it`s Waorani on Tue-Sat, per EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 9965, Aug 11 at 0109, R. Cairo, VG signal level but heavily suppressed, just-barely-modulated Arabic.

9315, Aug 11 at 0112, R. Cairo, ``Spanish``, good signal but open carrier, dead air

11710, Aug 11 at 0113, R. Cairo, ``Spanish`` is off again, despite no competition from Argentina on weekends; tsk

12070, Aug 11 at 0113, R. Cairo, Spanish, loud with extreme distortion and hum, but not spreading beyond 12065-12075, whew (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420 // 9935, Aug 11 at 0110, ERTOpen are closed again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 13695, Aug 11 at 1235, south Asian songs, fair with flutter, 1240 talk about Andhra Pradesh. HFCC shows the AIR Tamil/Telugu services, 1100-1245, 500 kW, 108 degrees from Bengaluru (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 12025, Aug 11 at 0113, VIRI in Spanish, poor-fair for the second night ex-11760 escaping collision with Cuba.

11730, Aug 11 at 1221, VIRI IS, poor with flutter: it`s the Pashto hour, 60 degrees via Sirjan, which from tomorrow will be blocked by BS from WRMI, 24 hours on this frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH. 11735 // 11710, Aug 11 at 1249*, VOK rudely cuts off its own anthem before the end of this KCBS Korean service, but they play it to death anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11510, Aug 11 at 1348, Kurdish music on fair signal; Denge Kurdistana via PRIDNESTROVYE reception may be seasonally improving here after a long summer doldrum? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 17670-17675-17680, Aug 11 at 0116, RNZI DRM noise again. Altho still bearing a 12 July start date, the online sked athttp://www.radionz.co.nz/international/listen
has now been modified to add this transmission, after our numerous reports of DRM at unscheduled time:
2355-0200 17675 DRM Pacific Mon-Fri
And then it resumes at 0250-0400 M-F for Vanuatu (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925-AM, Aug 11 at 0104, talk at VP level in storm noise; off at 0119 recheck. Numerous logs here, all from further east in North America where specified, say it was Voice of the Abnormal, at *0020-0106*:http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,18074.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, Aug 11 at 0107-0107:42.5*, R. Chaski carrier and some mod until cutoff, 6 seconds later than yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, Aug 11 at 0114, SLBC fair with music, 2+1 timesignal to 0115:18.5, sign-on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGST)

** U S A [non]. 13830, Aug 11 at 0530, VOA French via BOTSWANA resumes on a Monday, with QRM from the noise blob I have been hearing, already at 0526 tune-in; slightly on the hi side, so tuning VOA to the lo side helps. QRM possibly of local origin, but was not there until last week; and in the middle of the night I am not inclined to go outside to hear if it recede (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 690, Aug 11 at 0606 UT, open carrier/dead air from KGGF Coffeyville KS per DF; still signs off slightly after local midnight 0500 UT with rotating patriotic tunes and Taps (except for late baseball games), but not necessarily cutting the carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs August 9-10, 2014

** AUSTRALIA. 17760, Aug 10 at 0059, JBA music, first thought maybe WHRI 3 x 5920, but it`s already off, and the music sounds S Asian? It`s the OSOB. Aoki & HFCC show RBA, going from daily Rawang to Sunday English at 0100; strange I am not hearing RA on 17860 or 17840, altho maybe this was just as they were pausing for QSY. But NW Australia is a long way from SE Australia propagationally (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11750, Aug 9 at 0602, extremely distorted spur from 11780 RNA is at good level; match on 11810 is fair; second-order ones another 30 kHz out: 11840 & 11720 very poor; third-order 11690 JBA.

11750 & 11810, Aug 10 at 0048, now the awful spurs here are very bad; RHC happens to be off 11840, audiblizing JBA spur, but reblocked at 0105; No spur heard on 11720; 11870, a weak WEWN is marred by crackle

Another check at 0539 August 10: numerous distorted spurs at 30-kHz intervals: 11660, 11690, 11720, 11750, 11810, 11840, 11870, 11900 all audible, progressively weaker the further from 11780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 16100, Aug 10 at 1253, CNR1 jammer, very poor; no 17s, 15s

14870, Aug 10 at 1255, CNR1 jammer, fair

14920, Aug 10 at 1255, CNR1 jammer, fair; none in the 13s, 12s

15115, 15195, 15265, Aug 10 at 1338, CNR1 jammers inband are the only audibles now, none others 12-19 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also EAST TURKISTAN

** CUBA [and non]. 11845, Aug 9 at 1358, pulse jamming is still audible on long-abandoned Martí frequency.

11670, Aug 9 at 2130, AIR English is detectable way under RHC news in Spanish; Arnie still blox India.

12060, Aug 10 at 0041, buzz here, presumably 2 x 6030 jamming.

18210, Aug 10 at 0055, RHC, 3 x 6070 audible at VP level as is now common, along with 12140 = 2 x 6070. I also look for other thirds above 18 MHz: at 0055, a JBA carrier comes on 18495, matching 6165 pre-English, but I am not hearing 18000 or 18180 from 6000 or 6060.

9550, Aug 10 at 1239, only CRI Vietnamese is audible, but at 1304, RHC Spanish is on and mixing with it, Commies for Commies vs Commies; also on 9820.

12010, Aug 10 at 1301, `Cuba Campesina` is running overtime, introducing final tune; then I switch to 15370 nominally starting at 1300: open carrier until 1303 as the tune is faded out for some `news`, but 15370 transmitter cuts off and on the air, and when on, the modulation cuts off and on --- rough getting started; 1304 it`s off again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 11660, Aug 9 at 2120, pop music, poor with flutter, what`s this? Some splash from 11670 Cuba. 2126 brief French announcement; 2130 another mentioning cri.cn --- shux, it`s only CRI, 2030-2230 from Kashgar to Europe. Sounding less and less like an Eastern station.

9800, Aug 9 at 0043, fair signal in Spanish with pop music countdown, CRI Kashgar to S America, better than usual here.

17720, Aug 10 at 0547, OSOB is very poor with music: i.e. CRI German via Kashgar. This site has a way of making it thru when nothing else does (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 9965, Aug 10 at 0040, R. Cairo Arabic, with distorted Qur`an
12070, Aug 10 at 0040, R. Cairo, big hum, no modulation or spurs
9315, Aug 10 at 0041, R. Cairo open carrier/dead air; OTHR on low side
11710, Aug 10 at 0042, R. Cairo`s third Spanish frequency is: off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE [and non]. 9935, Aug 10 at 0039, ERTOpen is on at good strength, but with some splatter from 9925 Mighty KBC; fortunately, WTWW is already on 5085 not 9930. // 9420 is VG; 15630 is JBA at 0047 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 12025, Aug 10 at 0050, VIRI Spanish has finally made the long-expected move from 11760, out from under RHC, // 9860. 12025 still has het on the hi side which I was getting previously, altho it could be my router again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 15475, Aug 10 at 0054, ME music is P-F, i.e. R. Kuwait`s new 24-hour channel (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, Aug 10 at 0052, JBA carrier from R. Chaski, until cutoff at 0107:36.5* which is 5.5 seconds later than yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [and non]. TOM affiliates are having trouble:

7365, Aug 9 at 0607, WHRI playing gospel music not // others; despite online sked still showing TOM daily at 06-08 from Angel 2.

5085, Aug 9 at 0609, WTWW-2 is open carrier/dead air; 5830 SFAW OK. Wake up at 0956 so check 5085: now it`s back with mod. Also at 1345, and at 1405 on 9930 instead.

5890, Aug 9 at 0611, WWCR-4 does have BS at a service with big hum and mutterers; playing backup recording?

7570, Aug 9 at 0611, WRMI-11, BS alone speaking in studio, different than 5890; also on other WRMIs: 9955, 11825.

BTW, WRMI has an updated frequency grid as of August 12 showing 5015 and 5950 are no longer 24-hour BS, but 7570, 11730 and 15770 will be, along with 11825:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nEVwCMB9RSKowLzLXamyayVpCzjmPAw_SB1r3YOdzQc/edit#gid=0

3185, Aug 9 at 0612, WWRB also with open carrier/dead air. It appears the main TOM feed to stations (internet or satellite?) is down and they are coping with the situation (or not) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [and non]. 9620, Aug 10 at 0045, REE is VG, back on proper frequency, gone as expected from 15385 where it was by mistake 24 hours ago, opening that for a very weak signal in Chinese, i.e. CNR1 jamming or VOA Philippines during this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1733 monitoring: confirmed new 1733 (not 1732), UT Sunday August 10 on WRMI 9495; fair signal but some ACI from 9500 Oman which is stronger and unfortunately on correct frequency tonight. By next week this WRMI transmission is to be on 5950 instead.

WOR 1733 also confirmed on KVOH 9975, UT Sunday August 10 from 0131.

Next:
UT Monday 0259v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB
Monday 2100 on WRMI 15770
Tuesday 1100 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 0630 on HLR 7265-CUSB
Wednesday 1315 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 1430 on HLR 7265-CUSB
Wednesday 2100 on WBCQ 7490v (unreconfirmed)

The new WRMI frequency schedule effective August 12 for the red `F` hours, replaces 9495 with 5950 at 00-01; at 21-22, not only 15770 but also 7570 breaks away from otherwise Overcomer. Does this mean that WOR at 0030 UT Sundays and 2100 UT Mondays will be on these frequencies? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 11730, Aug 9 at 0104, WRMI-4 is off but from August 12 is to be 24 hour BS, except Family Radio at 23-24; 44 degree beam, and much weaker here than the NW beam on 11825, 7570. Instead I am hearing something else weak.

HFCC shows 24 hour `YFR` on 11730 will conflict with numerous others:
Vatican via Uzbekistan, no doubt what I hear now; CRI, NHK via France; Turkey; Saudi Arabia; Belarus; BBC via Singapore, Thailand; Iran; Russia may be scratched anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12105, Aug 9 at 1355, big open carrier, still at 1404, must be WTWW-3, but normally not on until 1700. See also SOUTH CAROLINA [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. I have a bone to pick with certain documentaries shown on PBS, such as POV --- I`m trying to watch the one about a Sichuan earthquake; besides convenient time-shifting, when a show is in a foreign language with captions, I always try to tape it as I may need to back up or freeze-frame to read the captions. Otherwise, undivided attention is required with eyes constantly on the screen. But this one turns out to have captions so tiny that I cannot or can barely make them out! Don`t the docu producers realize that many will be attempting to watch on a small TV screen? Furthermore, closed-captioning in the usual font makes no attempt to reproduce the English version legibly. Freeze-framing further reduces the resolution. If they were legible, it would still be a challenge to read them at the speed they flash by. Besides the tiny font, legibility is further hindered by the constantly shifting background --- if it`s dark, the lite letters are more
 legible; there is no black background along with the open captions. Not everyone has a huge HD TV on the wall! Furthermore, the constant OETA bug in the corner sometimes interferes with the tiny open English captions (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13830, Sat Aug 9 at 0558, noise blob here, sorta DRM? This frequency is used M-F only by VOA Botswana in French at 0530-0600, and that has been without such QRM. Also Sun Aug 10 at 0544, again the noise blob. Unseems to be coming out of 13850 Cairo mess, nor from 13840 daily French from NHK via Madagascar. Will 13830 still be blobbing when VOA is back on Monday? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15389-USB, Aug 9 at 2112, Spanish 2-way intruders.

15534-USB, Aug 9 at 2134, colloquial Spanish 2-way; one of them coughing. Maybe moved from 15389 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
