However, general propagation is often so poor, that I am not sure it could be detected if it came back (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. Firedrake August 11: 12025, very poor at 1329 under CNR1 jammer 12980, very good at 1329, 1338, 1349; none in the 11`s or 10`s 13920, poor at 1327, 1345 13970, fair at 1327, 1345 14950, good at 1327; very good at 1345 15285, fair at 1324 15525, fair at 1344 16980, very good at 1324, 1338 17300, very poor at 1338 // 12980; nothing in Aoki Aug 12; vs SOH? Firedrake August 12, before 1300, on internal antenna due to thunder: 7970, poor at 1227. Last log of this one was June 21 at 1244 10300, good at 1228 // 7970 11500, very poor at 1225, I think, with open carrier mix? 12500, fair at 1225: this is an ``outlier`` as S. Handler calls them, NOT // the others but about 2 sex ahead of 10300, etc. 12980, poor at 1225 13920, poor at 1230 // 12500, these two being `outliers` After 1300, back on external antenna: 11500, only S9+22 open carrier at 1319 11775, very poor at 1317, beneath CNR1 and noise jamming mix; still no Anguilla 12025, poor at 1320 over CNR1 jammer, unusually; none in 13`s, 14`s 15280, poor at 1325 15425, good at 1325 // 15280; none higher up to 19 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 11760, August 12 at 1318, I notice that this RHC transmitter has a squeal on it now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GERMANY [non]. 17800, August 12 at 1306, no signal from DW Hausa via Rwanda, usually good here, but a weak one on 17820 via Portugal, and Spain also in well on 17595; strange conditions, with many other usual signals missing from 16m, and not much on 19, 22 either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUINEA. 7125, August 11 at 0608, Qur`an, fair signal from RTG. On earlier than usual, and I haven`t heard it for some weeks by not staying up late enough past 0630 or 0700. Maybe extended for Ramadan, but how early, or still highly variable? Still don`t hear it before 0600 August 12 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NIGERIA. 15120, August 12 at 0523, with hum, V. of Nigeria in financial news about the naira. RFA reported to have quit the frequency, so we hoped CNR1 jamming would too; yet, there was still some QRM under VON. O, CRI Beijing site is still scheduled on 15120 at 03-07 per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENIN DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1577 monitoring: first airing confirmed on WRMI webcast, Thursday Aug 11 at 1500; also confirmed on 9955 which signed on at 2059, then WOR at 2100 without jamming except a bit o` bleed from 9965. Also confirmed on 9479 WTWW starting a semiminute later, and on WBCQ webcast of 7415 until 2200 August 11. And confirmed on WWRB 5051 at 0355 UT Friday August 12. Besides all the many WRMI repeats, other times are: 0400 UT Sunday on WTWW 5755 0300v UT Monday on WBCQ 5110v-CUSB 1730 UT Sat & Sun on WRN via SiriusXM 120, also Sunday 0830 Full schedule at http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9479, WTWW due to being super-strong and 1 kHz off-frequency, produces false carriers by overload thruout the 31m band: 9750, August 12 at 1312 I am hearing a 1000 Hz tone under Japanese, so another of those mystery tests? No, it goes away on the FRG-7 when I switch on the attenuation. Another one like that on 9410, etc., etc. These are NOT transmitted by WTWW, just result from overloading the receiver. The overload would still be there if it were on 9480, but not so obvious beating against on-frequency signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 13562, August 11 at 1347, the swishy 18-kHz spur from WEWN 13580 is obvious with BFO, along with the stronger 9-kHz one on 13571 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 9250-9280, August 11 at 1334, very strong pulsing like OTH radar, but not the same sound as from China or Cyprus; peaks at 9265, and would ruin WINB or WMLK if they dared to use out-of-band frequency at this time. Split-second breaks every 16 seconds (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ### End of Hard-Core-DX Digest, Vol 104, Issue 13 *********************************************
