Glenn Hauser logs October 3, 2016

** ETHIOPIA [and non]. 7170-7175-7180, Oct 3 at 0348, DRM jamming, but cannot detect any Eritrean carrier on 7175 amid it. 

BTW, the second Eritrean transmitter of Program I is now reported on 7146.555 by Wolfgang Büschel at 0510, but nothing when I listen earlier. That was first heard at 1645 Sept 29 by Thorsten Hallmann; no jamming against it yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 650, UT Mon Oct 3 at 0336, `La Hora Nacional` talking about Facebook; audible with WSM nulled, and peaks from SW, so very likely XETNT, Los Mochis, Sinaloa, with that state`s addendum to the national LHN. There are nine other XEs on 650, but it seems XETNT is the only one I ever hear. There is a beep as transition every minute or so, outro segment as having come from La Suprema Corte de la Nación, why? 0338 into song, and now I am hearing the same music under KCSP on 610, i.e. sibling station in Guasave, Sinaloa, XEGS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO [and non]. 740, UT Mon Oct 3 at 0350, same cantante segment as just heard on 780 from `Coahuila en la Hora Nacional`, so this is XEQN Torreón, 10/1 kW --- and the one making that horrible low audible heterodyne against KRMG Tulsa, which is overridden when nulled as much as possible. Take that, Rush repeat! They can`t get enough of that SOB at KRMG (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 780, UT Mon Oct 3 at 0341, with WBBM nulled, discussion of Lucha Libre [fake wrestling], masks, etc., 0346 ending this segment, 0347 ID as ``Coahuila en La Hora Nacional``, on to a segment about a cantante, Luís somebody who is really from Matamoros, Tamaulipas, but never mind that off-topic. The only Coahuilan on 780 is: XEWGR, Monclova, 10000/250 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1570, UT Mon Oct 3 at 0332, XERF with `Coahuila en la Hora Nacional`, first topic ``inicio de rock & roll en Coahuila``. Heavy QRM de Missouri and plenty of other US stations abolishing this as a clear channel (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1845 monitoring: confirmed UT Monday October 3 from 0301 on Area 51 webcast, and soon on WBCQ 5129.847-AM, S9 with no swishy QRM now unlike earlier. Also confirmed UT Mon Oct 3 from 0330 on WRMI, 9955, S9+25. Next:

Mon 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

Tue 1100   WRMI 9955 to SSE

Tue 2130   WRMI 15770 to NE

Tue 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

Wed 1315.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE

Wed 2100   WBCQ 7490v to WSW

Wed 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11580, Monday Oct 3 at 1314 & 1414, WRMI still with World Music during these hours on a weekday; back to BS after 1500. Still before and after 1700, nothing but BS also on 13695, so also on weekdays World Music is gone from its best frequency here. Overcomer overkill is restored (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1170, Oct 3 at 0345 UT, gospel huxter under KFAQ Tulsa, making slow SAH with it, so WWVA Ohio is still out of whack, deliberately? Failing to protect us from itself (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA carrier search Oct 3, not from FE but DU: 

At 1207, 702-WSW but no 774 now

At 1209, 774-WSW, 882-WSW, 891-WSW

At 1223, 738-SW, likely Tahiti. As expected, the KRMG 740 splash isn`t quite as bad now on October night pattern until 1230 UT/

I continue to detect these on the DX-398 with internal ferrite only. A complete x9-kHz bandscan (1 kHz offset with BFO) on the R75 with 100+ foot E-W longwire could not hear any of them (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1330+ and 1350-, Oct 3 at 0353 UT, the rapid clicking noises I reported before on the NRD-545 with stationary antenna, I now also hear on the DX-398 so can get a bearing on them: east/west on both, presumably from some out-of-whack 1340 station. Closest along that axis is KJMU Sand Springs OK, if active, but never notice the spurs in daytime. Beyond that, a couple in northern AR, a couple more in southern MO, many further east; two in northern NM, one in northern AZ, etc., etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs October 2-3, 2016

** BRAZIL. 9630v, Oct 3 at 0027, I notice that R. Aparecida, S3-S4 carrier is wobbling slightly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 1620, Oct 3 at 0046, R. Rebelde in Spanish talk with echo, meaning I am hearing two transmitters, or is it three? That would be a long shot, the farthest being only 1 kW in Guantánamo. // anechoic 5025 and 1180 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, Oct 3 at 0042, RHC is still hummy and undermodulated like last night; wiggle that patchcord. Playing ``Guantanamera`` in non-Spanish service not // 9535 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13650, Oct 3 at 0020, Chinese song at S9+30 // 5990, i.e. CRI Spanish relay, which is supposed to be on // 15120 at this time, but is indeed off; and 13650 only for the 23-24 Portuguese hour. RHC 15230 is still propagating; and 13740 RHC is S9+40. So they forgot to QSY from 13650 to 15120 by 0000; unless it`s a deliberate change (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 730, Oct 2 at 1227, Suprema Corte federal PSA, two SS stations; 1229, ``La Ranchera 97.3`` from one of them which leads to: XESOS, Agua Prieta, Sonora, 2000/300 watts. Have heard it occasionally, but rarely vs 50/1 kW XEHB Parral, Chihuahua (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 980, Oct 2 at 1235, as I tune in, full ID for XEFQ, La F-Q, IMER station in Cananea, Sonora, also on FM; AM power 2500/500 watts. Correlates with 730 XE and 930 unID logs from hot-spot area at the moment, around the AZ border (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** UGANDA [non]. 15240, Sunday Oct 2 at 1602, R. Munansi is already going via WWRB, poor presumed Luganda language talk about Uganda. Recheck 1727 now much better, good with hilife music, 1728 talk resumes with website http://radiomunansi.com --- time for another look at it: are they admitting they are on WWRB 15240 by now? Nothing about that found, and the ``latest`` podcast is dated 15 Feb 2015 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7200-LSB, UT Monday Oct 3 at 0033, someham is expounding on how people should read Karl Marx, and he`ll be back later in the week for a pop quiz. Weak but in the clear, until other hams pile on to mock him and deliberately interfere, biggest sig being KE0DZB per several IDs, with dog(?) yelps in background (watch out: that`s tantamount to music!). Original unID speaker continues unfazed, suggesting that uneducated Trump supporters are rampant with class rage; ``a lot of class envy on this frequency``. Suspecting he is a ``deplorable``, KE0DZB is Mennemeyer, James D, 4301 Missouri Pacific, Arnold, MO 63010. I run across this after still finding no anti-Castro Spanish net on 7210-LSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1845 monitoring: confirmed Sunday Oct 2 at 2330 on WBCQ, 9330.057-CUSB, S9+10. Also confirmed UT Monday Oct 3 at 0030 on WRMI, 7730, S9+35 (7730 has a bit of a ripple on it as if there is another weak carrier, but no other audio). Next:

Mon 0300v  WBCQ 5130v Area 51 to WSW [with swishy CODARish QRM?]

Mon 0330   WRMI 9955 to SSE  

Mon 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

Tue 1100   WRMI 9955 to SSE

Tue 2130   WRMI 15770 to NE

Wed 1315.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE

Wed 2100   WBCQ 7490v to WSW

Wed 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13695 & 11580, Sunday Oct 2 during the 17-18 UT hour, WRMI is again back to BS instead of World Music, which did not appear on the schedules anyway, and may have been default filler during missing entry hour for BS programming, now corrected. Updated WM hours:

0000-0100 Tue-Fri    7730 285 deg

0700-0800 Tue-Fri    7730 285 deg

1300-1330 Mon-Fri   11580  44 deg (ex -1400; & 1315-1330 Sat)

1400-1500 Mon-Fri? *11580  44 deg

2000-2100 Mon-Sat   11580  44 deg 

[20-21 now has other programming Wed-Thu-Fri-Sat; blank Sun-Mon-Tue]

* = unlisted as such on the WRMI schedules

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7730, UT Monday Oct 3 at 0015, WRMI is amid another repeat of the early-August CDXA special tribute to Ecos del Torbes, Venezuela. It was also heard 48 hours earlier, but since last check of the sked grid, the Sat 0000 airing has been replaced by a blank, and Wavescan is still shown for UT Monday 0000 instead of CDXA. Followed at 0029 by WRMI Spanish ID, but don`t recognize the voice: not Jaime Báguena, before some music-note filler and 0030 WORLD OF RADIO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12105, Oct 3 at 0022, no signal at all from WTWW-3, possibly not propagating, but more likely AWOL, while 9475, WTWW-1 still achieves S9+35 at 0028 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5935, UT Monday Oct 3 at 0040, S9+50 of dead air from WWCR-2, which is scheduled until Oct 29 at 00-12 UT, nothing but so-called University Network (wouldn`t it be nice if one US SW frequency were really enlightened and educational, rather than Bible-thumping? But dead air is next best thing) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 880, Oct 3 at 0051 UT, Spanish song seems to have Christian angle, but soon at 0053 UT ``La Ranchera 880`` non-ID; best on E-W ALA-330S antenna, but not much KRVN to cope with tonight. That slogan leads to WMDB Nashville TN, 2500/2 watts! And not to the one I assumed last time, 880 WIJR Highland IL, 1700/160 watts, which is ``La Tremenda`` per 2016-2017 NRC AM Log. WMDB is the one which was compensating for negligible night power by buying time on WNQM 1300 and its spurs out of WWCR until those were eliminated; now maybe they just leave 2500 watts on 880 instead. Does WCBS care? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1579.58, Oct 3 at 0047, significant het to 1580.0 stations from a carrier here, no doubt WVOK Oxford AL still on same off-frequency as weeks ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search October 2: DU as all loop WSW on DX-398 rather than NW (except 1098 more like W = V7AB), UT:

At 1214, 774, 702

At 1216, 657

At 1217, 612, 594

At 1220, 1098

At 1223, 1503, 1512

LSR: 1228 UT. Also this morning, Richard N Allen near Perry OK managed to pull some ABC audio on 774 // RA 9580, i.e. 3LO Melbourne, Vic. BTW, DST has just started in SE Australia, moving RA programming generally one UT hour earlier, e.g. TV news simulcast weekdays to 11-12 instead of 12-13 UT (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 930, Oct 2 circa 1230 UT, another Spanish station with WKY OKC nulled, likely KAPR Douglas AZ, as per previous research, but tough to get a definite ID. Correlates with 730 and 980 XE logs from same area now, south of the AZ border, anyway. At 1242 UT, WKY music suffers IADs again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1330+ and 1350-, Oct 3 at 0049 UT, I am getting the same rapid clicking sound when tuned to 1330-USB and 1350-LSB, but not the corresponding LSB/USB of either, ergo suspected of being matching spurious out of one of the hundreds of 1340 stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Propagation News – 2 October 2016

Last week was dominated by extensive geomagnetic disturbances thanks to ongoing coronal hole activity on the sun. Coronal holes are areas with open magnetic field lines that allow plasma to escape as a high-speed stream. This plasma impacted the Earth causing aurora and unsettled HF conditions, especially on paths over the poles.

The K-index was pushed up to five and even six throughout the latter half of the week, bringing a mixed bag of HF propagation.

At times the maximum usable frequency was suppressed with noisy HF bands and very poor propagation. But there were highlights, with enhanced HF propagation at times, up to and including 21MHz. DX heard in the UK included D66D Comoros and S9BT Sao Tome.

Next week NOAA predicts very unsettled geomagnetic conditions for Sunday, 2 October and the first half of the week and unsettled conditions for the remainder. The solar flux index will be in the range 80-85, with a chance for C-class solar flare activity.

Because of the way HF conditions can change quickly, we suggest keeping a close eye on the 20 to 15 metre bands as short-lived openings may occur at any time during daylight hours. As we head into October, DX is being worked and conditions will continue to improve.

VHF and up propagation:

The end of last week saw the finish to very unsettled weather. This week, high pressure is due to build to the east of Britain over Scandinavia and eventually link up with another area of high pressure over Biscay. This should provide some modest tropo prospects at times for many areas, although Ireland and western Scotland may remain too breezy for any significant inversions to develop. The limiting factor of the tropo may well prove to be fairly dry low-level air under the inversion, so the better conditions will be seen when there is evidence of moisture near the surface, like fog and mist.

Wednesday sees the Draconids meteor shower. Don’t get too excited though as it only has a low zenithal hourly rate. It’s a bit of an odd one in that the radiant is highest as darkness falls, giving higher meteor rates in the evening.

Moon declination reaches minimum on Friday so EME moon windows are short. Add this to high losses and this is a week for EME system maintenance and improvement. The Sun’s declination is falling giving a maximum sun elevation of 35 degrees this week, so now is the time for sun/cold sky measurements before it’s too low to clear ground noise.

** CUBA. 5040, Oct 2 at 0127, RHC Spanish with big hum, suptorted modulation, wiggle that patchcord, while // 6060 is OK. Beats neighbor 5050 WWRB for the amount of hum (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 6145, Oct 2 at 0038, Mighty KBC via GERMANY is a bihour this week, but too weak here, a generous S9 with rock music; and BFO reveals a second slightly offset carrier under, presumably a bit of the 500 kW out of Aligarh, INDIA from 0015 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6945-USB, Oct 2 at 0045, music off and on, 0046 brief unreadable announcement over music, S6. 0101 at S8 with rock, some buzzy interruptions; 0102 long pause (and with pure SSB you never know whether a station has closed down); More pauses, 0110 cuts back on with music, 0111, ``[algo] Pirate Radio, 6,945`` synthetic male voice; 0116 ``I Love Rock & Roll``, 0117 SSTV beeps; 0119.5 back to music. Per following thread it was RFF Pirate Radio, from SSTV images:

but beware: a phony Firefox update seemed to launch from this
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6956-6957 -USB, approx., Oct 2 at 0044, an intermittent pirate with music so dense and no carrier, I can`t pin down where it sounds ``normal``. At 0104 it`s S5 music, no carrier. This thread is closest, as R. Free Whatever on 6955, where I could not get it clearly:

UNIDENTIFIED. 5959.947, Oct 1 at 1249, somestation is this far off-frequency, JBA carrier. Presumably from trans-Pacific. IIRC a few years ago it was a PNG frequency, remember Radio Fly? But the only thing now in Aoki on 5960 at this hour is Xinjiang PBS, Urumqi. Grayline: sunset there 1151, sunrise here 1227, so make that trans-polar. Like a log from earlier this year:

``UNIDENTIFIED. 5959.957 approx., Feb 24 at 1354, JBA carrier, another mystery from PacificAsia?`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs September 30-October 1, 2016

** CUBA. 11845, Sept 30 at 1313, DentroCuban Jamming Command pulsing against nothing, a frequency R. Martí abandoned years ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 620, Sept 30 at 1202, after NA, opening `Amanecer Norteño`, at 6-7 am on 91.7 & 620, i.e. XEBU, Chihuahua2, supposedly 5000/250 watts. Dominant signal at SRS and often elsewhen (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 700, Sept 30 at 1224 UT, M&W alternating with news from Milenio network, loops SW. Most likely XEGD, Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua, 5/1 kW. They do have news hours in the morning, but no mention of Milenio as a source at

http://lapoderosadeparral.com.mx/programacion.html

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 770, Sept 30 at 1226, federal PSA for Canal del Congreso (on cable?? TV?), ads, Grupo Chávez promo, i.e. XEREV, Los Mochis, Sinaloa, listed 5000/100 watts, another one which surely must be on day power long before LSR since LSR is right now in Enid a sesquimegameter northeastward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 800, Sept 30 at 1206, with KQCV OKC nulled as much as possible, weak and tentative ``Cañón`` mentioned, i.e. XEROK Juárez on much reduced power, no cannon, let alone a border-blaster any more (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 594+, another Friday afternoon, Sept 30, so another DX-pedition into the wilds of Garfield county pursuing that mysterious weak carrier which at first could have been coming from Kolkata: I`m determined to keep driving until I find it. I`ve already confirmed that it is to the SSE of Enid, so I start at the same spot as a week ago, Wheat Capital Road eastward from US 81 (opposite from the south side of Vance AFB). Yes, it`s there this week. Then I go a couple miles further south before turning east, past Pioneer School. By 78 St. intersexion, it`s about due south, but there are not passable (or any roads) at every mile, so I`m zigging and zagging a bit, and soon can tell there is enough signal to bring with it a trace of modulation on the DFing DX-398. By 2103 UT, near Pleasant Valley Cemetery, Reed Road and 78 or 66 (no street markers this far out), there`s enough talk mod to search another radio for a // on MW from top down --- first stop is 1640 KZLS --- and that`s it! That site is further in the same direxion, a few miles east of Hennessey across the county line in Kingfisher on US 51. 

So for some strange reason, this 1640 transmitter is putting out a spur 1046 kHz below it. I check 1046 above it on 2686, altho I don`t really have a suitable antenna with me for almost-shortwave, but I have never noticed anything there at home. Back on the home rig NRD-545 and ALA-330S antenna, still in daytime circa 2130 UT, I tune carefully between 590 and 600, and believe it`s the extremely weak carrier on about 594.85, among some other birdies nearby from who knows what, but are unstable. Maybe bigrigs at DX can detect it on 594.85? Or at least Richard Allen near Perry, SW from him (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1845 monitoring: confirmed Friday Sept 30 at 2130.5 on WRMI 13695, excellent. Also confirmed Fri Sept 30 after 2330 on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB --- but again today it`s just barely audible, yet 7490 WBCQ and 9265 WINB are at usual good levels.

** U S A. 7490.05-AM, UT Sat Oct 1 from 0006 I monitor most of the first hour of `Allan Weiner Worldwide` on WBCQ. Also on // 3250.14-AM and synchronized; delayed almost a minute on 5129.8+AM. Unlike callers closer in, 7490 is by far the best of the three here.

He starts telling the story of Anita McCormick, who wrote the book ``Access to the Airwaves``, bio of Allan as he had dictated from his daily journal into numerous cassette tapes, but soon interrupted by a phone call from J. P. (as often happens: can`t the call-ins wait until he finishes his stories??). Book is long out of print, but lots of copies out there can be found if you look for it. 

Shortly after it was published, Anita broke off relations in 1999, since as he had made clear to her, Allan was in a relationship, a one-girlfriend/wife-at-a-time guy, and he never heard from her since. She and others were also very put off by welcoming Brother Scare and other religionists onto the then-new WBCQ. (Speaking of which, at 0022 Oct 1 check, 9330+ with Blalock the Blaster is VP at only S3). Allan reasserts his respect/love for Blalock and Stair, and the fact that preachers pay a large part of the bills for WBCQ. 

Unrelated? Mentions that BC in the call stands for backward-compatible --- now we know, but what about the Q? Also asks for SASE with QSL requests, no E-QSLs? Address is 274 Britton Road, Monticello ME 04760. 

At 0056, replying to someone who listens to gh on WBCQ, Allan unsolicitedly testifies, ``World of Radio is the world`s last really great shortwave DX program``. Well, thank you! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7730, Oct 1 at 0024, I tune this WRMI in a bit earlier than a week ago and indeed confirm that the CDXA program still playing at 0000 UT Saturdays is indeed the one and only tribute to Ecos del Torbes, ex-4980, Venezuela, from almost two months ago. So if you missed it, probably will be on yet again in another week (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search September 30: all except the last one loop WSW, i.e. Down Under rather than Japan/FE. All these on the DX-398 with internal ferrite only::

At 1159 UT: 774, 702, 612. (Mexicans on practically every 540-770 frequency, so I listen to some of those the next few minutes, q.v.).

At 1210-1221 UT: 1035, 882, 774, 747, 594, 792, 585.

Nothing above 1035, not even 1098. However I have a higher local noise level on the high end. Today`s local sunrise: 1226 UT.

At 1215 UT, 1557 seems from NW (no 1548, 1566)

Glenn Hauser logs September 29-30, 2016

** ALBANIA. [and non]. 9855, Sept 30 at 0129 and later chex, NO signal from R. Tirana, propagation disturbance probably sparing us from the humroar, as even 9570 CRI relay from the other site in Albania is JBA. (Yet EGYPT manages an S5 signal for its dead air on 9965.2 at 0129; Turkey 9770 & 9870 are unusable but S4-S5) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ARGENTINA. 11710.70, Sept 30 at 0117, RAE is only S3, with music, supposedly nothing but music, counting down until the Oct 5 relaunch as RAE Argentina al Mundo. But unless they boost the old thing at General Pacheco up to something close to 100 kW (and some decent antenna gain?) it will still be a strain to hear it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BONAIRE [and non]. 800, Sept 30 at 0136 UT, on the E-W Wellbrook, a gospel huxter in Spanish is audible vs KQCV OKC. Doubt it`s XEROK which has been out of sound lately, off or very QRP. Likely PJB. Then nulling KQCV as much as possible on the DX-398, during `Focus on the Family`, I`m getting mix from another station with silly puck or ballgame in English, CKLW Windsor Ont.? Sked does not show any play-by-play sports pre-empting talk shows. Well, there are plenty of USA 800 stations allowed less than 1 kW at night. At 0143, hymn in Spanish; 0145 a bit of ranchera music --- that could be XEROK, Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. 0146 announcement about Luis Palau – bingo! Same program logged at this time last Oct 6 as in DXLD 15-40, and traced to PJB. So I ask again, is TWR up to 450 kW yet? Unseems so. Anyhow, it`s quite possible to hear four countries at once on 800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** BRAZIL [and non]. 10000, Sept 30 at 0118, PPE timesignals with beeps every 10 seconds after Portuguese announcements, weak S5 but about same level as WWVH, and no WWV at all which would be giving propagation conditions during this minute including K-index of 3; G1 minor storm now, but G2 moderate forecast in next 24 hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9570-9590, Sept 30 at 0103, CRI English 9580 relay with frying-noise field surrounding it at least 10 kHz each side, which would QRM the // 9570 ALBANIA relay if it were arriving at any more than a JBA carrier during current geomag storm. This behavior is just like happens with the 9570 Cuba relay in our mornings capable of QRMing 9580 Radio Australia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 9605, Sept 30 at 0106, KBS World Radio Spanish via WHRI has JBA CCI also in Spanish and barely //able to 9535 RHC, i.e. the spur from 9535 previously discovered in the clear before 0100; but nothing audible on the other side now, 9465 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11670, Sept 30 at 0116, RHC as usual on this channel is overmodulated/distorted, splattering only plus/minus 10 kHz as the signal is not as blasting as it could be (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 9965.2, Sept 30 at 0129, R. Cairo is S5 with no modulation audible, but doing well considering the propagation conditions; yet nothing audible now or at 0155 around the 9315 blob if it really be on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO [and non]. 550, Sept 30 at 0147, M&W conversing in strange language, soon recognizable as Low German, sort of like Dutch; mentions El Paso. Has to be the Chihuahuan with Mennonite programming, XEPL, Ciudad Cuauhtémoc, 5000/150 watts. At first dominant, from SW/NE, but soon losing out to KTRS with 314-area code and other St Louis ads (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEWFOUNDLAND. 2598-USB, Sept 30 at 0101, YL robot with marine weather in English, fighting the S9 noise level with less than that. Per the sked I compiled in DXLD 16-36 at this hour it`s VCP, transmitted from the town of St. Lawrence, on The Rock. Nothing from the New Scotlands now on 2749-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 255, Sept 30 at 0151 UT, beacon ``SW``, which per 

http://www.dxinfocentre.com/ndb.htm

is merely Stillwater OK, ``Blaki``, airport name?? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGET)

** PERU. 5980, Sept 30 at 0057, JBA carrier from R. Chaski until autocutoff at 0059:54*, which is 42 seconds later than last check six nights ago, Sept 24 until 0059:12*, i.e. averaging 7 seconds later per (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, Sept 30 at 0114-0116, NO signal from SLBC, as to be expected during G1 minor geomag storm and K-index of 3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1845 monitoring: confirmed Thursday Sept 29 at 2100 on WRMI, 13695, excellent. Like last night, tonight Sept 29 at 2340 check, NO signal detectable from WBCQ 9330v-CUSB, on the R75 but with household noise sources. 2359 recheck on the porch with PL-880 and reelout, now I *do* hear it, but very weakly with music, and 0000 Sept 30 into screaming from Blalock the blaster. So maybe it was on at 2330 for WOR, but running much reduced power, as nearest SW neighbor, 9265 WINB has usual good signal, despite G2/G1 geomag storm attenuating propagation, especially from northerly paths. But at 0054 I`m on the NRD-545 and cannot detect any signal on 9330 while 9265 is S9; 9330 intermittent? More on WBCQ in separate log. Next WORLDs of RADIOs:

** U S A. 9955, Sept 29 at 2144, checking this WRMI for something other than scheduled Overcomer as Cuban show heard two days ago: yes, Spanish music, and 2145 convenient ID for ``Radio Libertad, de lunes a viernes de las 7 a 8 de la tarde, en 9955`` and presenting next sub-program which is all-talk; NO jamming audible, but at 2147 own modulation is breaking up. R. Libertad is on the schedule only at 23-24 UT, so this is apparently a secret bonus prepeat when there is no jamming --- yet. At 2340 check, nothing but wall-of-noise jamming audible even here, so I check the webcast at 2356 --- and sounds like the same program as two hours earlier.

9955, at 0000 UT Sept 30, the jamming is diminishing, enough to tell that the next Spanish program is about Venezuela, just as scheduled for UT Fridays 0000-0015: `Acontecer Venezolano` --- the closet thing to any clandestine broadcasting for that country now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490.05-AM, UT Fri Sept 30 at 0055, Pam and her ukulele are performing the ``99 years`` song, i.e. an `Allan Weiner Worldwide` playback on WBCQ. Sufficient signal at first, but by 0123 recheck when Brother Scare is on, quite weaker than usual, only S8, (while one band higher, 9265 WINB is still S9+20). Maybe 7490 is underpowered too? Seems the path slightly further north into the sub-auroral zone would not account for this. 

5129.8+, UT Fri Sept 30 at 0057 with WBCQ The Planet IS and ID, prior to sign-on, as the only scheduled broadcast on UT Fridays is `Just Right` from 0100 and it start with an old-time-radio clip. On the 5130 sked I see something else I had not noticed before:

``We 5130 08:30PM 09:00PM ET 0030 0100 UT [THURSDAYS] Antena DX``

** U S A. 7505.04v, Sept 30 at 0121, WRNO is back on with gospel music, good signal level but somewhat undermodulated, and varying slightly as I measure it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1000, Sept 30 at 0140 UT, KTOK OKC has QRM from a whoop-whoop sound, at the rate of twice per second, the pitch varying up and down from time to time --- like the curiously malfunxioning Cuban transmitters reported occasionally on various frequencies, including here? Closest and biggest of the three in WRTH is CMAM, R. Guamá, Pinar del Río, 25 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
