mercoledì 29 luglio 2015

Glenn Hauser logs July 28-29, 2015


** BOLIVIA. On the NRD-545, which reads out to two decimal places, I am seeing how closely I can measure some frequencies. CW mode is offset, but SSB mode is not. Audibly, I still have to interpolate between similar lo hets it produces on the lo and hi sides of carriers, to get:

6155.13, July 29 at 0136, JBA carrier, presumed R. Fides
6134.88, July 29 at 0137, fair signal with R. Santa Cruz ID as they do frequently. I believe both of these do vary slightly; last digit of my readings should be taken as approximate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11814, 11746, 11712, approx., July 29 at 0120, big crackling spurs are back and so is producer 11780 RNA/RNB, after a respite, all off the air last night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 11560, July 28 at 1843, Firedragon! At S9 peaks; no others noted in general bandscan. Jamming target is IBB Mandarin via Saipan at 18-19, i.e. RFA per Aoki.

11785, July 29 at 1333, CNR1 jammer, good with a cappella YL singing, very little CCI from target VOA Chinese via Philippines

13920, July 29 at 1337, CNR1 jammer VG // 11785, but mostly talk now

13980, July 29 at 1337, CNR1 jammer, fair

14920, July 29 at 1338, CNR1 jammer, very poor // matching 13920, 1.000 MHz away on the FRG-7

15970, July 29 at 1338, CNR1 jammer, good

16100, July 29 at 1338, CNR1 jammer, good

16250, July 29 at 1339, CNR1 jammer, very good! So HF propagation is picking up; but none in the 10s, 12s, 17s, 18s.

BTW, Ron Howard reports that the JBA carrier I was hearing on 6075 after PNG/Australia quit was also CNR1, but unlisted and nothing to jam there. Mauno Ritola suggests it`s a leapfrog mixing product of 6175 over 6125 another 50 kHz lower. Truly, it`s amazing we don`t get more such mixing products of Chinese transmitters, all over the bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9810 & 9830, July 29 at 1330, RHC Spanish transmitter on 9820 is still putting out buzzspurs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 12070, July 29 at 0118, R. Cairo, Spanish, good signal, JBM
11935, July 29 at 0118 similar signal to 12070 but suptorted
 9315, July 29 at 0131, R. Cairo, during Qur`an in Spanish service, S9+20 peaks 
 9965, July 29 at 0127, R. Cairo, Arabic at S9+30 but undermodulated, whine (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY. 9450, UT Wed July 29 at 0129, exotic flutish music, fair signal, off 0130* without announcement. HFCC shows MBR Nauen, 250 kW, 100 degrees, but what is it, really? Aoki shows:
9450 Athmeeya Yatra R.(GFA) 0115-0130 ...4... Kotwali
That`s Gospel for Asia. EiBi on the language, but no numbers:
KTW Kotwali (dialect of Bhili): India-Gujarat, Maharshtra [bhb]
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. See USA: 540

** MEXICO. Fitful Es opening continued from last report, nothing but:
1641 UT July 28 on 2, enough video to make out the Televisa-2 net star bug in lower right corner (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 9690-, July 29 at 0557, VON with talking drums prior to Hausa; good signal, with only WRMI 9955 and 9395 better on band. Also // weaker 7255-, fair at 0558. (I am assuming both are slightly on lo side as previously, but not rechecked) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 530, July 29 at 0143 UT, instead of NWS KTA HAR or Enciclopedia, I`m getting mix of my two 1 kW locals, KCRC 1390 and KGWA 960, i.e. a leapfrog of 1390 over 960 another 430 kHz lower. Backing off RF gain, this doesn`t go away, so I hope it`s really some external mixing, not produced internally by the NRD-545. I don`t hear this on other receivers, except the caradio with some powerline beveraging near Vance AFB when I was checking for their now defunct TIS on 530. These stations are a few miles apart at separate sites, both strong enough to overload.

Unrelated, but my nearby streetlite ignites with wideband RF noise *0149:45-0149:55 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PHILIPPINES. 12120, July 28 at 1838, gospel-sounding music? very poor signal vs RTTY but which the NRD-545 can notch out almost completely. 1846 YL with numbers in English, phone? Oh yes, uplooked later, its R. Pilipinas during the 1730-1930 Filipino service, but no doubt some English mixed in. Not often heard here, but it`s a bihour when I don`t monitor much. Also listed on // 9925 and 15190, all three 250 kW, 283 degrees via IBB Tinang, targets CIRAF 39 & 40, i.e. ME triangle from Turkey to Yemen to Afghanistan, for all the Filipino/a Gastarbeiter/in over there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** TURKEY. 15450, July 29 at 1245, VOT English is audible with poor-fair signal while often inaudible. Something about a Turkish event at the Edinburgh (fringe?) Festival; 1247 `Let`s Learn Turkish` about checking into a hotel (hint, hint). 1251 music; recheck 1317 `Question of the Month` seems to be something about which anniversary concerning radio broadcasting, but too poor to copy details; and I know I would be wasting my time looking for it on website, as TRT HQ has usurped the VOT external radio service`s pages! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1783 monitoring: confirmed at 1315 UT Wednesday July 29 on WRMI 9955; sufficient without jamming. Next:
2100 Wednesday on WBCQ 7490 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12015, July 29 at 0117, WTWW-3 is off instead of on to 0200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 9330-CUSB, July 29 at 0557 as Art Bell is about to go to local commercial break, hit by another carrier making low audible het (LAH) since WBCQ is slightly off-frequency. Must be the Cuban numbers transmitter which collides with it on a specific late-night schedule. Maybe WBCQ will care about this now with a regular customer? Bell listeners may imagine it`s deliberate. Lately, WBCQ 9330 has been weak here this late, low MUF over path, still VG on 7490 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 540, July 29 at 0606 UT, roughly E/W, local weather but no identifying details caught until area code 318 number, back to ``Coast to Coast AM on Talk 540``. So it`s KMLB, Monroe LA, listed 4000 watts day, 26 watts night, always non-direxional. Quite rare here, so really 26 watts? 

Shares with XEWA rock music to the south, but aiming E/W, still NO sign of XETX, La Ranchera de Paquimé, per IRCA Mexican Log, 700 watts at night from Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua near the border, which used to dominate 540. Could someone in the Gadsden Purchase confirm whether XETX is gone for good, to FM only? That would be 90.5 per Cantú who had it as only 250 watts night on 540. WRTH showed 5 kW fulltime, more like the signal I used to get (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Radio Maria Nederland stop mediumwave

The Dutch Catholic station Radio Maria will stop broadcasting on mediumwave 675 kHz on 1 September. There have been rumours about this for some time, but now the radio station has confirmed the news itself. From 1 September Radio Maria will be heard exclusively on DAB+ and the internet. Extensive research by the Board of Radio Maria concluded that there is no affordable alternative to AM, so from September broadcasts will be on digital platforms only.

NEW RECEIVER: I`m very pleased to report that after depending on the FRG-7 as main receiver for many years, I have acquired a top-of-the-line unit, the JRC NRD-545. This came quite unexpectedly as a gift from Jim Ronda, an eminent academic who has much weightier matters on his mind, but still enjoys some DXing on another receiver. For example:

Jim was also instrumental in getting the superb Gilcrease Museum (which we also revisited) transferred from the City of Tulsa to the University of Tulsa, and remains on the museum board.

For now the NRD-545 is merely connected to my existing antenna, a random N-S wire of a few meters down the hall from the shack, but that is to be improved. An inauspicious début is caused by atrocious SW propagation conditions currently, combined with high summer storm noise levels, which no receiver can overcome. When DXing bedside, which is normally around midnight and after sunrise, it`s still the FRG-7 (or the DX-398 for MW). I may not always specify which receiver is in use. Many, many, thanks, Jim! (Glenn Hauser)

** AUSTRALIA. 9580, July 28 at 1307 during `Daily Planet` talk, lite squeal is still detectable on this RA transmitter. Some say they don`t hear it, so maybe it comes and goes; or bandwidth too narrow. Not really a problem yet, but once it`s started could get worse (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOLIVIA. 6134.8, July 28 at 0110, as soon as I tune in, clear full ID for Radio Santa Cruz, including its FM 92.3; fair signal but remarkably good vs the noise level; while #2 CP, R. Pio Doce, 5952.4 is little more than a carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL [and non]. 11780, July 28 at 0127 and 0539 recheck, NO SIGNAL from RNA/RNB (and consequently no splatter, no spurs!) Perhaps they have taken my advice and closed it down, until/unless it`s fixed? More likely just a temporary breakdown, to come back as bad as ever; but, we`ll soon hear which.

This uncovered a JBA carrier on 11780 at 0127 which, if not merely the EBC exciter would have been RFA Tibetan via UAE and/or ChiCom jamming; also audiblized would have been the 0320-0420 so-called ``Voice of Justice`` from Iran to North America, which stupidly put itself on the same frequency for A-15, as yet unchecked (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9810 & 9830, July 28 at 1308, today`s anomaly from RHC: spurious buzzes equally aside the 9820 transmitter, which itself is never very strong; the higher one interferes with the RTTY intruder all-day on 9830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 12070, July 28 at 0122, R. Cairo, Spanish, distorted good signal

11935, July 28 at 0124, R. Cairo, very good signal but suptorted Spanish

9965, July 28 at 0133, R. Cairo, open carrier/dead air except for whine on Arabic service

9315, July 28 at 0142, R. Cairo, fair signal but dead air in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Traces of Es DX trying to break 55 MHz MUF: a few times earlier and briefly at 1529 UT July 28, maybe with 7 bug in UR, likely XHTAU Tampico. 6m dxmap shows lite activity over S Central US (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. Earthquake report: while getting acquainted with the NRD-545, the floor shakes for about 15 seconds (it seems), spanning 0119 UT July 28. USGS says it was a 4.1, at 0118:27, 6 km NNE of Crescent OK, 5.0 km deep --- exactly the same location as another 4+ quake about seven hours earlier which I didn`t frackin` notice (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1050, July 28 at 1320 UT, the two weak Okies produce little modulation but a SAH close to 6 Hz between them. A bihour after sunrise here (1135 UT), XEG should be all gone, and these are still beating at 1351 UT recheck; we get a little more groundwave signal from 1 kW ND KGTO Tulsa than from somewhat further 250-watt KXCA Lawton at 127 miles which beams away from Tulsa. One of them is slightly on the lo side of 1050 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** OKLAHOMA. 1300, July 28 at 1324 UT, ``total traffic on The Buzz``, familiar Tulsa streets at rush-hour. Trouble is, ``The Buzz`` is KTBZ 1430, and this is KAKC 1300. Could be confusing, but they are sibling stations so such crossovers allowed; unless they have swapped slogans, I doubt (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K [non]. 7355, July 28 at 0144, very poor signal here, almost sounds Spanish intonation, but HFCC shows it`s BBC Pashto/Dari via AUSTRIA at 01-02 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1500, July 28 at 0152 UT, KJIM Sherman TX is signing off at this odd hour, to return at 6 am (11 UT) with CBS news. As I listen on the NRD-545, which tunes all bands equally well from the same antenna, a noise burst emanates from my nearest streetlite, as it fires up, having decided it`s a few minutes after sundown; and a minute later another burst as it flashes up to full power at 0153 UT. Enid sunset is 0142 UT, now earlying 1 minute per day. 

Oh2, KJIM is a bit late as its official FCC sunset in July is 0145 UT (August: 0115 UT). This 1 kW daytimer with nostalgia format is one I would enjoy hearing at local level. It`s figure-8 direxional, slightly clockwise from N/S, helpful to us but probably not appreciated around Pawhuska (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 20 - 26 July 2015

Solar activity reached low levels this period. Region 2389 (S11,
L=164, class/area=Dai/80 on 25 Jul) produced three low-level C-class
flares throughout the period which were the largest observed events.
Region 2389 produced a C1 flare at 24/0315 UTC, a C2/Sf flare at
24/1444 UTC, and a C1 flare at 26/1234 UTC but none of these events
resulted in coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that were Earth-directed.
Region 2390 (S15, L=198, class/area=Dac/130 on 26 Jul) underwent
moderate penumbral development and increased in magnetic complexity
late in the period, but remained largely unproductive. No
Earth-directed CMEs were detected in SOHO/LASCO coronagraph imagery
throughout the period.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached
high levels on 20, 26 Jul with moderate levels observed on 21-22,
and 24-25 Jul. The electron flux decreased to normal levels on 23
Jul in response to enhanced geomagnetic field activity attributed to
a combination of CME and coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS)
influence.

Geomagnetic field activity reached active to G1 (Minor) geomagnetic
storm levels on 23 Jul due to a combination of the arrival of the 19
Jul CME (filament eruption) and the onset of a weak positive
polarity CH HSS. Active conditions were observed at 23/0300-0600 UTC
and 23/1800-2100 UTC and G1 storm conditions were observed at
23/0600-0900 UTC. The geomagnetic field was at quiet or quiet to
unsettled levels for the remainder of the period under an ambient
solar wind environment followed by weak CH HSS influence.

FORECAST OF SOLAR AND GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY 27 JULY - 22 AUGUST 2015

Solar activity is expected to be at very low to low levels
throughout the period with a slight chance of M-class
(R1-R2/Minor-Moderate) flare activity between 28 Jul-10 Aug due to
the return of Region 2381 (N14, L=074) which produced two M-class
flares last rotation.

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to be at normal to moderate levels on 29 Jul, 01, 07, and
17 Aug with high levels expected throughout the remainder of the
period.

Geomagnetic field activity is likely to reach G1 (Minor) geomagnetic
storm levels on 07 Aug with active levels expected on 29 Jul, 02,
08-09, and 19 Aug, all in response to the influence of recurrent CH
HSS. Quiet to unsettled geomagnetic field activity is expected
throughout the remainder of the period under an ambient solar wind
environment.

Glenn Hauser logs July 26-27, 2015

** BRAZIL. 11780, July 27 at 0538, RNA/RNB quite overmodulated & distorted on fundamental, but no spurs audible on 11745/11815 or beyond, so an improvement overall (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, July 27 at 0546, RHC English with a rippling SAH; there might be double audio too, but close to synchronized. Most likely explanation is RHC running two transmitters here; scheduled only for one 250 kW Titán at 05-07 toward Wáshington (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 9955, *July 26* at 2133, wall-of-noise jamming against WRMI. In this case the DentroCuban Jamming Command knows what it`s doing, since scheduled Sundays only 2130-2230 is `Forum Revolucionario Democrático Cubano`. WRMI website has no direct contact info for it, instead mail routed thru WRMI itself. There is a portrait of the two guys producing it, Juan Avalos y Elio Pérez:
However, the banner behind them reads Radio Libertad, same as behind the newsman just above them; RL being a separate(?) program M-F at 23-24 which is also heavily jammed, but it doesn`t stop there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 13605, July 27 at 1301, R. Martí with PSA from State Department explaining that the US Embassy in Habana will not be considered American soil, and not an asylum spot. Why not? Here`s the story from their website with embajada misspelt:

``Gobierno de EEUU no dará asilo en su embajada en La Habana -- Publicado 23 julio 2015 --- El Departamento de Estado aclara que la embajada estadounidense en La Habana no es territorio de Estados Unidos. Ricardo Quintana tiene el informe``

No text beyond that, but linx to an audiovideo of 3+ minutes explaining it, introduced by a cleavaged anchorette (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** OKLAHOMA. 780, July 27 at 0134 UT, open carrier/dead air from daytimer KSPI Stillwater, even tho official July sunset is not until 0145 UT, by when it`s off completely. August: 0115* UT (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PHILIPPINES. 11890, July 27 at 1159, Chinese, but with buzz/frying sound, ``Laudetur Iesus Christus``, VR IS and off 1300*. That IBB Tinang transmitter is acting up again, scheduled Vatican relay at 1228-1300 (Sat -1315), violating Separation of Church and State. (A further VR in Vietnamese on 11890 at 1315-1400 daily is via Tinian instead) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, July 27 at 0114:48, SLBC music prélude starts right on time, and also the 2+1 mistimesignal ending at 0115:18.5. Very poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1783 monitoring: confirmed UT Monday July 27 shortly after 0300 on Area 51 webcast, and presumably WBCQ 5110v-CUSB; also confirmed after 0330 on WRMI webcast of 9955. Next:
1100 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955
0630 UT Wednesday HLR 7265-CUSB
1315 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955
1430 UT Wednesday HLR 7265-CUSB
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13700, July 26 at 2134, something about racing for kids in Indianapolis, then coverage of the Indy Brickyard. VG signal, on usually vacant frequency. No doubt it`s WHRI, even tho 13700 appears nowhere on their website schedules, nor in HFCC. Later I got an inquiry from Williams López in Venezuela, who was hearing this a couple hours earlier:

``I listened to this [14+ minute very loud clip]:
the frequency was 13700 kHz, 1950 UT 2015-07-26. I know that is a car race, Nascar??? You can identify this tx??? I don't know which
station transmitted. Thanks 73. Williams López, Apartado Postal: 763, Barquisimeto, Estado Lara, Venezuela``

``Hi Williams, I heard this too, later after 2130. I`m sure it`s WHRI South Carolina. Mentions of Indiana, and this station originating there is wild about car racing, not only the Indianapolis 500. Not one of their registered frequencies. 73, Glenn`` 

WHRI fails to publicize these dangerous and silly carace games in any SW media that I know of; maybe race fans know about them? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3185, July 27 at 0136, phone-off-the-hook signals from WWRB, not unusual for them, dead air (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1160, July 27 at 0606 UT, YL preaching in Spanish with music background, audible with KSL nulled, and fast SAH; 0614 UT OM takes over, mentions ``De Mujer a Mujer``, program title? and phone number with AC 214-. There is an 1160 in Dallas (Highland Park), KVCE, but business format in English presumably still in effect; 1 kW night and with a null notch toward us. 

Instead, I assume it`s KRDY in San Antonio TX, also 1 kW night, but with some signal toward us, a Radio Luz with Spanish religion. Normally I`m lucky to get KSL, let alone anything else, but KFAQ 1170 IBOC not so bad at the moment; nulling KSL also partly reduces the Tulsa signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Radio Sunshine on Niue and.......

www.radioheritage.net
July 27 2015
Hi everyone
If you go to www.radioheritage.net today you'll find our latest story...that of Radio Sunshine...and your chance to hear the sounds of this very rare Pacific island station and see what it's all about with our new multi-media presentation!
The only other way to hear Radio Sunshine is to go to Niue!
It's the latest in our work tackling the big backlog of stories we have in our vaults...you'll also find stories and images capturing morning drivetime radio in Suva [Fiji] and Noumea [New Caledonia]...just part of our project to keep the stories of radio safe.
As you know, we can only continue bringing you these stories as part of our project as funds make it available. It's been very slow on the donor front these past few weeks, and in fact donations have all but dried up recently...so we'd welcome some more faces this week!
All the best whether you're in mid summer or mid winter this week, thanks for your past and continuing support, and have a look at the Rock of Polynesia, the Savage Island...or Niue right now at www.radioheritage.net.
Warm regards

** AUSTRALIA. 9580, July 25 at 1412, R. Australia as usual VG but now there is a lite squeal to it, i.e. emitting spurious JBA carriers on each side beating with central carrier --- the same kind of things perpetually annoying the WEWN English transmitter, and others from time to time. The pitch of the squeals varies with the modulation. I have been told this is caused by failure of some of the modulator cards in these transmitters, merely needing replacement. Likewise evident on 17840, July 26 at 0122 check, no doubt the same Shepparton transmitter, the one aimed USward. They ought to be able to swap out for one of their silenced transmitters if necessary. 

This also correlates with a DXLD yg thread started by Rodney Johnson, NV, on July 23 at 1439 UT: ``Australia's 9580 showing its age? This morning Australia's 9580 kHz transmitter is showing signs of age. The distortion is worse than that of R. Nacional de Brasília on 11780! Check it right now. 73s –Rodney``; soon it cleared up (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 13920, July 25 at 1334, CNR1 jammer, fair
13130, July 25 at 1334, CNR1 jammer, fair. No others found OOB 12-19 MHz 

9230, July 26 at 1255, poor signal in Chinese, presumed CNR1 jammer but no chance to  find a //; off at 1305 recheck. Aoki has this as a Sound of Hope relay of RFA between 0054 and 1611 with 0.1 kW, and of course *jammed

13690, July 26 at 1310, CNR1 jammer with Chinese opera, fairly good, vs unheard VOA Chinese via Saipan this hour only; our thanks to both for possiblizing this; no other OOB jammers found 12-19 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 9315, July 26 at 0115, no signal from R. Cairo, Spanish

12070, July 26 at 0115, open carrier/dead air from R. Cairo, Spanish; by 0148 I can make out some suptorted modulation

11935, July 26 at 0115, open carrier/dead air from same; later none

9965, July 26 at 0115, open carrier/dead air from R. Cairo, Arabic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 690, July 25 at 0538, music and promo for ``La Mejor``, back to music; roughly SW, somewhat separable from presumed XEN DF further east. Unfortunately, IRCA, Cantú and WRTH agree there are two Mexicans with this slogan on 690, so needed something else to nail it, such as FM frequency if not local mention:
XEMA, Fresnillo, Zacatecas, 50/2 kW, // 107.1
XECS, Manzanillo, Colima,    5/1 kW, // 96.1 --- I would say closer XEMA much more likely here, and was definite with the FM // in previous report, 1114 July 16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. A bit of sporadic E DX on July 25, UT:
1444 on 2, fade-in some Spanish grafix, including 1445 Colgate ad, and then the name Ricardo Naya; 1446 full screen 7, and credit roll for an animated show, still with smaller Azteca-7 bug in upper right; soon fade and nothing more all day. As usual, first guess is XHTAU in Tampico; I wouldn`t mind seeing the ones in Campeche or Durango for a change, but little chance of distinguishing them.

July 26, UT:
1441 on 2, fade-in briefly some guys in soccer uniforms
1524 on 2, CCI, Play-doh ad, animation
1525 on 2, animation, Televisa-5 bug lower right
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1783 monitoring: confirmed in progress at 0337 UT Sunday July 26 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM; but too much storm noise to tell at what point and hence calculate what time it started. Next:

** U S A. 7490, Sunday July 26 at 1337 and 1408 chex, WWCR-2 is OFF, unusual no signal. Transmitter sked shows it`s supposed to run daily from 12 to 15. But the pdf program schedule dated July 1 strangely shows the entire 12-24 UT portion of WWCR-2 on 7490/12160/9350 in very light print compared to the rest of it, as if implying it`s temporarily suspended? Still off at 1444 recheck. But midday frequency 12160 is on at 1549 check July 26.

9980, Sunday July 26 at 1337, WWCR-4 is off, but on at 1408 check with BS. Transmitter schedule shows no break, but program schedule shows it`s intentionally off Sat/Sun 11-14 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. This week`s `Weekend Radio` show from WCLV 104.9 Cleveland OH features an entry I sent to the Competition of faux-pas in the media, about an ``abdominal crime``. It appears about 32 minutes into the one hour show. Some webcasters of it; quite a few on Sunday/UT Monday. 
If you haven`t used this excellent resource before, you will be prompted to pick which timezone you want listings to display; UT? Or, here`s the clip:
Axually made off the KTOO Juneau webcast at 0432 UT July 26. BTW, I`ve already sent a couple more entries to Sagebrush Bob, which might eventually appear (Glenn Hauser, OK, July 25, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. A bit of tropo DTVDX morning of July 25, despite antenna still pointed toward OKC, lots of Bad signals a few decodes, UT:
1425 on RF 43, 12-1 KODE-DT, Joplin MO
1425 on RF 42, 41-1 KMYT-DT, Tulsa OK
1426 on RF 20, 19-1 KQCW-HD, Muskogee OK
RF 27, KFOR OKC was not decoding due to CCI, Topeka or Ft Smith?
BTW, KXOK-LD Enid is still absent from both RF31 and RF32. Now FCC has an application for a megawatt here on RF21! (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
