Glenn Hauser logs August 2, 2015


** AUSTRALIA. 15240, August 2 at 0530, RA in silly ballgame involving Newcastle and/or the Dragons, // much better 17840 which is the strongest signal on band (SSOB); both of which were again absent 4 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11815, August 2 at 0523 tune-in, immediate ID for Rádio Brasil Central, TC for 2:22, back to music. No crackling spur circa 11814 from RNA/RNB 11780; instead the fundamental is splashing out to ~20 kHz, far enough away from RBC.

11855, August 2 at 0526, R. Aparecida, poor with 2:26 timecheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 13920, August 2 at 1247, CNR1 jammer in drama, poor with flutter; none in the 12s, 14s, 16s, 17s, but about same poor level on 15250 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 13850, August 2 at 0528, R. Cairo good in Arabic but suptorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [non]. 17660, August 2 at 1253, JBA signal; could it be CNR8 revived domestic Korean service? No, improves marginally so I can tell it`s in French, and off after 1300, so per HFCC it`s RFI at 12-13, double registered via two different sites, MADAGASCAR and SOUTH AFRICA, both with 250 kW servicing exactly the same CIRAFs, at 305 and 342 azimuths respectively. EiBi and Aoki both go with Madagascar (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6185-, August 2 at 0534, XEPPM carrier still on after 0500v* sign-off, slightly on the lo side as ever (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PHILIPPINES. 11870, August 2 at 1328, R. Veritas Asia with YL English ID twice as 11.870 MHz on the 25 meter band, Hindi to follow at 1330; poor signal with music background, 1330 clarion call and into Hindi. Thus begins a sesquihour in Hin/Ben/Zom per HFCC registrations, the last shifting from 300 to 280 degree beam. Zom??? Aoki unlists the latter, but EiBi transforms it to C-Z, which per his README.TXT is: ``C-Z Chin-Zomin / Zomi-Chin: Myanmar (60,000), India-Manipur (20,000) [zom]`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SUDAN [non]. 13800, August 2 at 0527, fast SAH as R. Dabanga is QRMing itself during site transition from MADAGASCAR to VATICAN: at least only one of them is modulating, the other OC. Modulated one continues after other carrier cuts off at 0527.5*. And no Sudanese carriers jamming this time on the hi side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Studio DX 631 - 02/08/2015

Glenn Hauser logs August 1-2, 2015


** ARGENTINA. 15345.09 approx., JBA carrier, presumed R. Nacional on late weekend sked at 0133 UT Aug 2 instead of RAE 11710.4v. If this one is ever on 15345.00, it`s just a lucky coincidence; it varies quite a bit both sides. A few hours earlier, Wolfgang Büschel pinned them: ``Radio Nacional Argentina in Spanish at 2100 UT Aug 1 on measurement 15345.154 kHz`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AUSTRALIA. 17840 & 15240, August 2 at 0112, RA is AWOL again, and still gone at 0132; while NZ is making it on 15720 at 0112.

RA`s Ways to Listen page has Tweets on a sidebar, including this duplicated a few times:

``#raonair Twitter Radio Australia @radioaustralia Reminder: There will be a shortwave outage today between 08.15-15.00 AEST/PNG time due to maintenance. #RAOnAir Retweeted by Shauna-Marie Wilson`` et al. 

Trouble is, they are all dated July 18! In real Universal time that would have been 2215 UT July 17 to 0500 UT July 18, i.e. banker`s daytime working hours except it was a Saturday.

The linked pdf SW frequency schedule still claims to have all 24 hours covered by the usual pairs of three frequencies for 12 hours each; effective since April (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, August 2 at 0100, no signal from RHC English which is opening on 6165. I leave the PL-880 USB on 5999 to find RHC chopping 6000 on in progress at *0110:54.5.

5040 RHC and 5025 Rebelde are also AWOL, August 2 at 0119, but both on at 0140 in Spanish and music respectively (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ETHIOPIA [non]. 15470, regarding the new Amharic clandestine, registered for Fridays only 16-18 UT: Japanese DXers had already heard it last Saturday July 25, not Friday, nor did I hear it Friday July 31, so I`m checking again on Saturday August 1, at 1606: now there is a JBA carrier, presumably via ROMANIA. 

It`s Radio Abisinia, with a studio YouTube via Ron Howard:
illustrated by a guy in what looks like religious garb, but which? Abyssinia was of course the previous name for Ethiopia; conjuring up the colonial, or monarchic past? Opening mentions Uganda, and Washington DC.

José Miguel Romero found this on FB with same poster:

Sakaé Obara in New Jersey says at 1645 UT August 1:
``Apparently it is "Radio Abisinia"
Fairly good signal here in north NJ right now``

That Japanese BBS has several logs of it last week and this. One says it had previously been on MW 1390 Sats & Suns, which of course would be a split frequency in that region. But if this is originating in Washington DC, that might allude to WZHF Arlington VA, 5/5 kW U4, with an ethnic format, if not a 100% Voice of Russia relay which is mentioned in the 2014 NRC AM Log (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. August 2 at *0143:29.5 UT my streetlite ignites with RF burst, a little earlier than usual since cloudy at sunset; so then it`s to:

1120, August 2 at 0143 with Spanish songs until chopped off mid-tune at 0150:16.5* UT, which is 3 seconds later than last night, which was 2 seconds later than the night before, rather inconsistently. What next? Month rollover made no difference, anyway, since official Catoosa sunset in August is now 0115 UT, losing a full semi-hour from July`s 0145 UT. August sunrise: 1145 UT. Still, *never, any* announcements heard at random chex thruout the day if they are on. By when they do cut off, KMOX is already in to compete with ~6 Hz SAH, seemingly always silly baseball games (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1610, August 2 at 1632 UT, I find that the NRD-545 can pull in an S1 but almost readable signal of WQCL720, the NWS relay by TIS at Great Salt Plains OK; YL robot mentions conditions at Kingman, Pratt, presumably originating in Wichita KS (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1680, August 2 at 1633 UT, I find another very weak daytime signal on the NRD-545: certainly not Monroe. Weaker than the 1610 TIS, but can make out loop announcements by a human OM, including ``Hi, this is ---`` and ``new carpets``, so it must be a Talking House, which have popped up before on the X-band in Enid, but not for quite a while. Switching to USB/LSB makes it *less* readable, since the frequency is wobbling, crummy TH transmitter. 

I resolve to track it down by driving around Enid. No sign of it on the west side, but signal grows as I drive east on Broadway. Near the intersexion of Walnut and N 16 St, in the NE quadrant of town, it`s strong enough to copy while I park: gives phone 548-4895, Greg Jensen realtor. This house also has a new wood floor under the new carpet; 2 BR, 1 bath, brick. One-year service agreement available from Smith Real Estate. Also generic promo for the concept of Talking Houses, like I was hearing from them a few years ago. I`m running out of time, so don`t locate the exact house (no address transmitted!), but have inquired by webform to Greg, since he also mentions enidliving.com but which really forwards to Smith Real Estate, a.k.a.
where this house doesn`t seem to match any of the listings (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OMAN. 15140, August 2 at 0114, VP carrier, presumed RSO as it`s not heard on 9500 or 9740 this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 6173.9, August 2 at 0131, JBA carrier, matching the off-frequency of R. Tawantinsuyo, Cuzco. A tough one here, much weaker than RSC on 6134.8, at least in the evenings. And there is nothing on 6175 now to QRM it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330-CUSB, UT Sunday August 2 at 0139, no signal from WBCQ, when `Good Friends Radio Network` is supposed to be running at 01-05 UT nightly. Yes, even weeknights, despite `Midnight [sic] in the Desert` at 04-07 M-F [sic]. Not likely, unless for that overlap hour WBCQ runs independent sidebands? I assume GFRN really got an hour chopped off to accommodate Art Bell; and isn`t he UT Tue-Sat, not M-F?? Meanwhile, at 0139, 7490 and 5109.7-CUSB are both BSing, altho 5110 is supposedly in other Area 51 programming Sat nights, 23-04 UT Sun (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15550-USB, August 1 at 1607, presumed WJHR is JBA tho inaudible yesterday; Wolfgang Büschel was also hearing it today via Edmonton at 2112 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 690, August 1 at 1627 UT, open carrier/dead air from KGGF Coffeyville KS, and it isn`t even after midnight, or before 7 am CT. I assume their operator-in-charge (if any) is paying more attention to their FM; just another SNAFU (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 780, August 1 at 0628 UT, can`t null WBBM completely, but enough to make out an announcement from KCEG, something about wanting to ``get in good graces of landlord`` in Colorado Springs, asking for checks; ``Save The Ranch``, and country music. KCEG is 1900/720 watts U4, COL Fountain CO but address in Denver, and known as The Ranch (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15505, August 1 at 1647 poor S3 signal maybe with hymn, 1648 Arabish? Aoki and HFCC show only thing at this hour is VOA Tibetan via Biblis, Germany (+ jamming), but only on M/W/F and this is Saturday. Maybe Bangladesh was on past 1545? Unlikely; or something completely different (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

AWR-Cuba via WRMI


From the August 2nd edition of  Wavescan:

"Adventist World Radio has just begun a new service to Cuba, which is also audible throughout much of Latin America and the Caribbean.  The new 30-minute program, which began August 1st, is broadcast twice daily at 1100 and 2300 UTC on the frequency of 5950 kHz via the transmitter site of WRMI in Okeechobee, Florida.  And particularly interesting is the fact that the program originates at AWR studios in Cuba with all locally-produced content, such as a segment called “Somos Cuba” or “We are Cuba.”  Much of the AWR-Cuba programming is intended for young people, but there are features for a wide variety of listener interests.  Again, the new service can be heard daily at 1100 and 2300 UTC on 5950 kHz."

The Director General of GBC, Major (Retired) Albert Don Chebe, praised past directors and staff for bringing the station this far and pledged that the current generation of broadcasters would work hard to improve on set standards.
GBC is the first radio station to be established in Ghana in 1953 by Sir Arnold Hudson, then Governor of the Gold Coast which is known today as Ghana.
He was assisted by F. A. W. Byron, a British Radio Engineer, and transmission was through a rediffusion box.
GBC is seen by many Ghanaians as the pace-setter when it comes to broadcasting, training prominent many Ghanaian news readers.

Radio Free Iraq Signs Off After 17 Years


WASHINGTON -- RFE/RL’s Arabic Service to Iraq, Radio Free Iraq (RFI) will air its final broadcast on July 31. The resources of RFI will be merged with Radio Sawa Iraq to provide the audience with extensive Iraq-specific news and informational programming. The new Radio Sawa Iraq programming will be broadcast on both its existing frequency and those of RFI during a period of transition.

In recognition of their service, BBG Chairman Jeffrey Shell presented letters of appreciation to RFI colleagues, noting that, “[Radio Free Iraq’s] coverage of all sides of Iraq’s political scene has been unparalleled and deeply appreciated by its audience, as has its coverage of news from throughout the country with its wide network of regional correspondents.  Iraqi decision makers have considered RFI a must listen or read in their daily news diet while Iraqi citizens have expressed gratitude to RFI for providing a platform for them to raise their voices and concerns.”

RFE/RL Editor-in-Chief Nenad Pejic paid tribute to the sacrifices made by RFI colleagues to deliver the news in a country riven by constant political turmoil, violence, and war. A bomb blast at the AlHamra Hotel in Baghdad in 2005 ripped apart the Service’s bureau, two correspondents - Khamail Muhsin Khalaf and Nazar Abdulwahid al-Radhi - were murdered in 2007, and RFI Baghdad Bureau chief Dr. Muhammad Bdaiwi Owaid al-Shammari was shot dead at a checkpoint in 2014 while on his way to work. RFI correspondents have also suffered kidnappings, death threats, harassment, and physical injury while reporting the news.

In remarks to RFI staff members, Middle East Broadcasting Networks (MBN) President Brian Conniff said that, “At this moment in history, when Iraq is threatened by an extremist Islamic insurgency and faces numerous challenges in rebuilding from decades of open warfare and authoritarian rule, we believe adding RFI’s signature programming to the Radio Sawa Iraq lineup will provide the audience high quality content that will enhance their listening experience.” MBN manages and oversees Radio Sawa.

Radio Free Iraq was created by RFE/RL in 1998, in response to direction from the U.S. Congress. Led first by former U.S. Ambassador to Iraq David Newton, and since 2004 by journalist Sergei Danilochkin, it has provided accurate and non-sectarian news and information to local audiences and fostered informed debate of issues that are not otherwise reported in Iraq’s ethnically, politically and religiously fragmented media.

Glenn Hauser logs July 31-August 1, 2015


** ARGENTINA. 11710.57 approx., August 1 at 0158, RAE varied again, S5 signal just barely modulated, but I think I hear an RAE ID go by (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOLIVIA. 6025, August 1 at 0110, JBA carrier on the FRG-7 squeezed between jamming/Martí 6030 and CRI/Albania 6020; and at 0147 also JBAC on the NRD-545. According to Aoki, the only station anywhen anywhere on 6025 is R. Illimani, 10 kW ND La Paz, Bolivia, 0930-0400 in Spanish/Aymara a.k.a. Red Patria Nueva, 0930-0300 in WRTH; but I would like a little modulation which would be more likely at 0930. However, HFCC A-15 has five stations on 6025! All imaginary/inactive? Only one at this hour, Lhasa which would be post-sunrise (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11855.41 approx., August 1 at 0202, Brazuguese talk, S5 from R. Aparecida (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 590, August 1 at 0208, operatic solo by YL from NW/SE, 0212 brief Spanish announcement and more aria; must be R. Musical Nacional, and wow, no problem from Omaha, or Pueblo for that matter. WRTH shows CMBF, 25 kW at La Julia MB. Parallel IDing is not an option with the *only* other CMBF listed in WRTH on 1140. Website http://cmbfradio.cu mentions only 590 AM and 99.1 FM --- surely as serious/classical music network it`s mostly on FM ``tiny Caribbean`` island-wide? Sked chex,
with `La Opera` at 2200-2228 EDT Fridays. And two hours later `A Coro`, which I don`t think is Arnie singing! They also claim to stream on Audio Real which launches as Windows Media, just as mixed up as RHC with its constant plugs for Real Audio (not). Indeed I try that:
mms://media.enet.cu/radiomusicalnacional
at 0442 and do hear choral music at only 32 kbps. Back to hi-fi/stereo KUSP I always listen to UT Saturdays 03-05 for `On Site` starting with local classical performances including the Carmel Bach Festival and the Cabrillo New Music Festival (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 11775, August 1 at 0200, regular Cuban pulse jamming can be detected in the heavy sideband splash of 11780 RNA/RNB Brasil which however, is not putting out the usual further spurs. R. Martí has not used 11775 for several years now, but the DentroCuban Jamming Command doesn`t know or doesn`t care. Maybe one residual transmitter, as I don`t notice it when Anguilla or WHRI are running on 11775 earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 9315, August 1 at 0207, R. Cairo is S9+20 but OCDA to JBM in presumed English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ETHIOPIA [non]. 15470, July 31 at 1703, no signal from alleged new clandestine in Amharic, which had been registered for Fridays only 1600-1800 via IRRS, which means via ROMANIA. Altho I reminded the DXLD yg about this shortly before, NO replies seen of anyone hearing it or even trying to hear it. BTW, BSKSA in Bambara is also registered exactly same time and frequency daily, presumably imaginary as IIRC Bambara was canceled? Altho not much audible on 19m, Saudi Arabia q.v. is making it else-frequency, so propagation sufficient (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420, August 1 at 0114, VOG with Greek music, but no // 9935 this time. However, at 0156 I find that same Avlis transmitter active on 11645 since it`s putting out humbuzz/propeller noise atop the talk modulation which is // 9420, still no 9935 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO [and non]. 620, July 31 at 0459 UT, ``La Norteñita`` briefly overrides KMKI The Metroplex, i.e. XEBU, Chihuahua2; and KMKI, technically Plano, is still Radio Disney tho it`s being sold to the cluster including KSKY-660 officially licensed to another suburb (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 9690-, July 31 at 0558, VON drumming prélude with extremely distorted modulation, // weaker 7255-, 0600 announcement opening Hausa is slightly better, merely suptorted on both (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. *0148:14.5 UT August 1, my streetlite ignites with a wideband RF noise burst, which means it`s about time to check again for KETU/KEOR Catoosa/Sperry/Tulsa to cut off the 1120 air amid Mexican music, and that does happen at 0150:13.5*, which is 2 seconds later than last night. I wonder if it slips at a constant 2-second rate, à la Radio Chaski, or just varies/margin of error. Time will tell (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OMAN. 9740, August 1 at 0113, poor signal in Arabic? Nothing on 9500, nor 15140, so presumably RSO only one frequency-late instead of two (9740 sked at 22-24). At 0205, JBAC on 9740: Iran in Urdu is scheduled 0120-0220 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** SAUDI ARABIA. 15205, July 31 at 1707, bits of Qur`an and plain talk in Arabic from BSKSA, scheduled 16-18 but achieving only poor S3 signal; better S7 with different Arabic service on 15435. Both HFCC listed with exactly same parameters, 500 kW, 320 degrees USward, 25 degree slew, 216 antenna, so why the disparity? A propagation check since nothing on 15470 audible for ETHIOPIA [non], q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7261.0-USB, August 1 at 0232, I am bandscanning thru the 40/41 mb in USB mode to find something besides hams, but here`s a ham in USB mode! Ragchewer finally IDs as KJ5GT, I think, no fonetix, and his Js sounds like his Gs; much weaker contact is also in USB mode. I guess LSB on 40m is a convention, not a requirement, so why not? ARRL shows: CHAVEZ, ALFRED A, KJ5GT, ALBUQUERQUE, NM 87110 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7425, August 1 at 0238, music and talk in Spanish, mentions ``la capital habanera`` so something to do with Cuba. O, it`s // 7365 R. Martí mixed with some weaker Spanish, i.e. // Vatican Radio relay (violating Separation of Church and State --- how much longer before Brother Scare demands airtime from IBB?) on 7305 --- so a rare leapfrog mixing product from Greenville, 7305 over 7365 another 60 kHz higher (should also check for mirror/reverse leapfrog on 7245). 7425 audible on both the NRD-545 and PL-880 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15550-USB, July 31 at 1704, no signal detectable from WJHR; often buried in the noise level, but not even the NRD-545 can pull anything, while neighbor 15610 WEWN is sufficient. So, off the air? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 770, July 31 at 0500 UT, CBS news from E/W running one word *ahead* of 780 WBBM, 0505 UT national ad, no ID, 0506 `Red Eye Radio`. Must be KKOB Albuquerque NM, an RER carrier, but the last I knew it was with ABC news (and that always seemed out of place, as originally NBC along with KOB-TV). NRC AM Log of a year ago had it with ABC. Website sked 
doesn`t bother to mention news on the hour, but does now carry some CBS extended news programs especially weekends. I guess `Perspective` from ABC news is also gone. As for the website, it depends on linking to CNN for news stories (IIRC, CNN is no longer in the radio network news biz). 

Usual quandary here whether I am hearing 50 kW North Valley main transmitter bleeding around the edges of its pattern supposedly protecting WABC in almost the same direxion but a hazard to balloonists; and/or the 230-watt ND fill-in KKOB in Santa Fe on the air only at night. Couldn`t the latter at least be granted a separate callsign, like KKOB-1? I am still espering for someone to arrange a DX test on Santa Fe with the Albuquerque deliberately turned off, however briefly in the middle of the night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)  

** U S A. 810, August 1 at 0215 UT, cowboy instrumental music including steel guitar, coming in fine on the NRD-545 with N/S shortwire, but ``looping`` east/west on the PL-880 ferrite (which I have to keep away from the noisy NRD display panel); 0217 UT ``Santa Fe`s best hoedown country music, AM 810``. 

KSWV NM has long been a hybrid, ``Qué Suave`` but bilingual; still partly Spanish? I haven`t had a chance to listen to it locally in far too long. Obviously on 5 kW day power, not 10 watts night, both ND. Oops, official July sunset is 0215 UT, from tomorrow in local August, 0200 UT. Should have stayed with KSWV longer to note when they really disappeared. 770 KKOB already overtaken by something in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs July 30-31, 2015


** ARGENTINA. 11710.36 approx., July 31 at 0058, presumed RAE descended from usual 11710.7 area, but dead air or JBM, vs crackling spur from Brasil 11780 circa 11712. 0129, 11710.36 is still JBM during scheduled Japanese hour. If it weren`t for the spur, the lack of modulation and the language, it would have been at sufficient listening level, tsk2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 17840 & 15240, July 31 at 0049, NO signals from RA, off the air again. Yet RNZI is making it at 0052 on 15720-AM, P-F S4, and 17670-17675-17680-DRM S3. Recheck at 0131, now 17840 is ON with VG S9+ signal, squeal audible, and // VP 15240; in `Radiotonic` from RN about an ``Up Late`` 100-word essay contest. Another observation replying to my previous report:

``I usually hear Radio Australia on 17840 very reliably in the late afternoon and evening here in the Dallas, TX area, but noticed it was missing yesterday evening. It was back this afternoon [July 30] when I checked at around 2200. However, when I checked again at 2321 it was gone. No trace of a signal on my IC-7600. I found no trace of them on 15415 and 15240, either, though I very rarely hear them on either of those frequencies. RA has apparently made a change of some sort, but I couldn't find anything about it on their website. Their shortwave frequency guide shows the last change was in April. Curious if anyone has any further info. 73, Jim K5JG, Carrollton, TX`` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [non?]. 17560, July 31 at 0052, one weak S3 station in Chinese --- probably CNR1 jamming rather than target VOA Chinese this daily hour only, 349 degrees via Tinang, Philippines (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 12070, July 31 at 0055, R. Cairo, Spanish, distorted, S9

11935, July 31 at 0055, R. Cairo, open carrier/dead air, S5

9315, July 31 at 0129, R. Cairo, suptorted JBM presumably Spanish, S9+20

9965, July 31 at 0128, R. Cairo, Arabic, JBM with whine (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Sporadic E NTSC TVDX July 30, continued from last report, UT:

1630 on 2, still CCI

1658 on 4, Spanish audio more than video

1701 on 4, promo for `La Isla de las Almas Perdidas``, viernes en Canal 5

1732 on 2 and 4, still signals 

1750 on 2, heavy CCI, overcome by Azteca-7 promo; algo on 4

1754 on 4, close to same offset (zero?) CCI with KFOR analog cable radiation; f bug in LR: Televisa 4; stronger at 1758

1800 on 4, promo for ElTrece.mx = Azteca 13 net; CCI; 1801 Diputados PSA

1808 on 2, novela, Televisa 2 star bug LR, CCI

1811 on 2, novela, TeleVer script bug in LR = XHFM Veracruz

1817 on 2, animation audio echoing, probably net 5, other CCI

1824 on 5, Televisa 2 star bug in LR, novela; all stronger now

1824 on 3, Televisa 5 bug LR in animation

1825 on 4, ghosty kid show, primary colors seem out of phase, offset horizontally: odd effect; other CCI

1826 on 5, Televisa 2 novela, snow-free 

1843 on 4, Trece bug in UR, YL hostesses about adopting animals? One YL in shorts, ``tutorial`` about Misoterapia for different groups, Trolls, Haters, etc.

1846, 6m Es map shows 58 MHz MUF over DM46, ignoring real MUF; a few contacts across Texas. I need to go out while opening continues? By the time I get back, it`s over (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6955-USB, July 31 at 0116, pirate music cuts on and off, S7, 0121 YL Irish(?) song, 0123 quick ID XLR8 and silence past 0131. Tuned first on the NRD-545, then on the PL-880 with reelout. Numerous other logs of this, 2355-0123*, almost all from east of here:
but he was on again at 0209-0241*:
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1120, July 31 at 0143 UT, regional Mexican music from KETU/KEOR Sperry/Catoosa/Tulsa, never any announcements, cut off the air mid-tune at 0150:11.5* UT, as I was watching my watch to estimate the SAH rate against KMOX which was then uncovered: ~6 Hz (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OMAN. 15140, July 31 at 0050, RSO back to its old trix with Qur`an, reverb-enhanced, about S4; running way late past nominal 2200* on this frequency, down to VP by 0126 and thus missing from scheduled 9500 after 0000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, July 31 at 0100, JBA carrier detectable on the NRD-545, but when I get back to it just before 0105, R. Chaski is already gone: must have reset the autocutoff timer again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SLOVAKIA [non]. 11920, July 31 at 0057, surprised to hear R. Slovakia International wrapping up English service, better than // 11580 which also had some CCI, and than // 5850. WRMI must have brought up the 11920 transmitter early before the 0100 Fámily Radio relay in Spanish, and modulated it with what was supposed to be on 5850 and 11580 only. After 0100 they are all separated: 11580 with RFI in English, 5850 with TruNews (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, July 31 missed timing the SLBC *carrier/on but prélude starts at 0114:47.5; 2+1 mistimesignal ends at 0115:18.5; very poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1784 monitoring: slept thru the first airing at 1130 UT Thursday July 30 on WRMI 9955; but confirmed next one, 2100 July 30 on WRMI 7570. Since I know better than anyone what`s on WOR, I usually don`t listen to playbacks complete, but do this time. Fair reception in noise level improves slightly during the semihour, and is even better for the music at 2130, `Blues Radio International`. This transmission should keep improving on average, with shortening daytime. Next:
2130 UT Friday WRMI 15770

1430 UT Wednesday HLR 7265-CUSB
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5109.71 approx., July 31 at 0106, BS on WBCQ CUSB. Then I find the NRD-545 calibration is very slightly off compared to WWV. This resource gets to that issue right at the top immediately; recommended by Jim Ronda, and Dave Zantow himself:
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 92.7, July 30 at 1900 UT, SRN News, 1905 weather forecast starting with the day before so a bit stale in the automation, ``Oldies, KWME``. So 14 kW Wellington KS, not far just across the frontier, but needs some tropo help to get past KOMA 92.5, still causing ACI to this steady signal often not audible; on caradio as I am bandscanning in case of any Mexican Es (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4824.45 approx., July 31 at 0110, JBA carrier. Maybe R. Canção Nova, Brasil, which Carlos Gonçalves and Bob Wilkner have both reported on 4824.9 recently. 4915 Brasil was in (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs July 29-30, 2015

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, July 29 at 2050, looking for LRA36 which was going to reactivate on July 27, but NO signal on the NRD-545. Inconclusive, since propagation is so poor. A few minutes later checked on UTwente SDR in Netherlands, nothing there either. I haven`t seen any reports of it elsewhere, not even from S America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AUSTRALIA. 17840, 15415, 15240, July 30 at 0530, NO signals from R. Australia; 15415 toward Asia is always weakest, but the others are regular, so all off the air? I see no propagational disturbance to account for this. By circa 1250 UT, 9580 is on as usual, and when modulation is quiet enough, can still hear the lite squeal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 17660, July 30 at 1314, no signal from the CNR-8 minority service in Korean, which had been a regular with remarkably good signal. Aoki shows this lasted only a sesquimonth from June 1 to July 15, and the site was never determined, but I think probably in SE China. Propagation still degraded, but the East Turkistanis are again audible poorly on 17560, 17630, 17650 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [non]. 13740, July 30 at 1404, fair signal with very multi-tonal Chinese dialect, sounds quite different than Standard Mandarin with only 4 tones. Aoki shows it`s Cantonese, RFA via TINIAN, Tue/Thu only at 1400-1500, and this is Thursday. Supposed to be *jammed, but none heard. Fortunately, Habana has just finished with 13740 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY. 17810, July 30 at 1330, AWR multi-lingual ID, 1331 introducing Mandarin, very poor signal, from Guam? No, Nauen, per Aoki, at 1300-1500, except Sat & Sun the first semihour is in Uyghur. In the local evening on 16m, better to hit China from the west (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 540, July 30 at 0542 UT tune-in, ``La Ranchera de Paquimé, 540 AM y 90.5 FM`` ID, so XETX is still going, despite recent unexplained unlogs; only poor signal now but readable. Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua with frequent IDs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Sporadic E NTSC TVDX opening, morning of July 30, UT:

1454 on 2, fade-in Spanish audio

1456 on 2, f bug in LR, i.e. Televisa-4 net, maybe relay by local

1526 on 2, fade-in Spanish ad

1537 on 2, infomercial for exercise bike, CCI

1547 on 2, animation, Televisa-5 bug in LR, CCI

1559 on 3, animation, Televisa-5 bug in LR, // 2 but not synchronized. Less CCI on 3

1610 on 2, animated 5 logo full screen; more to come?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. With some moderate area tropo (peaking around Kansas City per Hepburn), but antenna aimed toward OKC, I`m getting a multi-subchannel unID on RF 21 starting at 1436 UT July 30:

21-1 HSN
21-2 SBN with jsm.org address
21-3 no decode
21-4 ONTV4U
21-5 RTVE - Retro lower-right, game show
21-6 REVN

Lost decode before I could explore what all these channels are doing, and even what the IDs stand for. I don`t find anything like this on the W9WI.com ch 21 list. Certainly it`s not Wichita or Dodge City. I was going to check rabbitears, but I don`t seem to have that URL bookmarked, and it`s not .com.

What can it be? Maybe lowpower in OK? I guess it`s just KTOU-LD OKC, 4 kW, which W9WI.com has only as 43.1 HSN, for starters. Surprised they would ever remap as a 43, which was the original fullpower channel of KAUT-40 and still known as ``Freedom 43`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12350-USB, July 30 at 1258, weather info for various parts of Caribbean, apparently in response to direct inquiries from yachters on same frequency which I can`t hear. This one is quite weak, but good clear modulation. 1305 talking about buoys. No doubt it`s the Marine Weather Center, WCY in Lakeland FL, ``Bel Ami`` IDs not heard this time but see previous log of March 19 in DXLD 15-12 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13565-CW, July 30 at 1307, K6FRC HIFER beacon is barely copiable vs CODAR swishes. LWCA list 
puts it on 13565.05, from Patterson CA. About 5 others on that list I have heard before, but not lately. Sure would like to hear some of the remainder if they are really active. I frequently tune BFO across 13550-13570 without finding any (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 7490 & 9330, July 30 at 0533, open carrier/dead air from WBCQ instead of `Midnight [sic] in the Desert`. 5085 WTWW is still going with the oddball news segment not by Art Bell himself; at 0536 WBCQ still OC/DA, while 6070 CFRX is in ad seemingly like 5085 but not synch, and also with QRMass from Vatican. I also check the nearest FM station supposedly carrying M[sic]ITD, 97.5 KPAK Alva OK, and no, it`s still rock music (unless I am getting Tulsa instead; don`t think so). KPAK is still on his station roster twice, the only FM or AM we could possibly hear here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** UZBEKISTAN [non]. 17665, July 30 at 1314, drama here on poor fluttery signal, after finding no CNR8 Korean on 17660. Central Asian language? Cuts off at 1329:30*. Aoki shows it`s BBC Uzbek, 250 kW, 315 degrees from SINGAPORE, 1300-1330 on Sun/Thu/Sat only, and this is Thursday. Normally *jammed by the ChiCom, interfering in the internal affairs of Uzbekistan, but no sign of that now! Same service on other days: 17575 on Tue & Fri; 17510 on Mon & Wed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
