** CHINA. Firedrake July 9; hardly anything propagating on higher bands:
14700, JBA at 1257
14700, JBA at 1336
WWV reported: ``Geophysical Alert Message
Solar-terrestrial indices for 08 July follow.
Solar flux 178 and estimated planetary A-index 13.
The estimated planetary K-index at 1500 UTC on 09 July was 5.
Space weather for the past 24 hours has been moderate.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level occurred.
Solar radiation storms reaching the S1 level occurred.
Radio blackouts reaching the R2 level occurred.
Space weather for the next 24 hours is predicted to be minor.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level are likely.
Solar radiation storms reaching the S1 level are likely.
Radio blackouts reaching the R1 level are expected.``
Yet there is another probably unrelated huge summer sporadic-E opening all
morning on TV ch 2-6, and into the VHF FM band, also boosting HF signals, only
that are nearby (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COLOMBIA. 14950.75, further chex for Salem Stereo: July 8 at 1553, JBA
carrier.
July 9 at 0358 quite fair signal with music; 0507 still peaking at S9. Keyboard
comparison of het with BFO on 14950.0 now registers G-natural, i.e. 14950.78 or
so. 0511 between gospel songs quotes Mateo XXII:29, more Mexican-sounding
music. One vers?culo at a time, they have an endless supply of programming.
Still audible at 0621, but not in the 12-13 period when higher bands were
barely open after blackouts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ECUADOR [non]. 11920, another check Sunday July 8 for HCJB Portuguese
opening at 2300 (after the traditional Kulina chanting at 2259): they are
*still* claiming it`s via ``Alemanha``, i.e. Wertachtal, GERMANY, altho the
test via MBR was supposed to end after yesterday and resume original CVC CHILE
site for rest of July, according to their own publicity. Usual poor-fair
signal, seems unchanged, but you can`t trust them to announce site correctly as
they incorrectly claimed it was ``Guiana Francesa`` for most of first week in
July. Only one thing is certain: it can`t be directly from Ecuador (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Lots more sporadic-E TV and some FM DX on July 8, 9, which will take
a while to compile and the opening is still in progress past 1700 UT July 9
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 15115-15120-15125, Sunday July 8 at 1952, DRM noise clearly audible
here even without BFO, so VON is also active today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 15725, July 9 at 0512, V. of South Sudan Revolutionary
Radio, in Arabic, mentioning Sudan; recheck 0533, now it in English, but
weakening, and could only catch a few mentions: ``President Obama``; 0541
``Palestinian people`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1624 monitoring: Sunday July 8 at 1553, the
1530 broadcast on WRMI 9955 is JBA despite absence of jamming, CCI. How was it
in the target area of Caribbean, S America? I never hear from listeners there.
UT July 9 at 0505, the Monday 0500 WOR broadcast on WRMI is audible but with
difficulty due to stronger pulse jamming. Tnx a lot, Arnie! Whose own 10-minute
DX program gets thru unscathed on four powerful 6 MHz frequencies during the
same semihour, as well as numerous prepeats and repeat. I`d still rather be the
nice guy representing the nice country in this vicious radio war, going far
beyond blocking Spanish from fellow Cubans who are exiles. If anyone would care
to comment to Arnie about jamming my broadcasts, he announced his address as
info...@enet.cu But don`t expect him ever to deal candidly with the touchy
jamming issue on the air except perhaps to condemn me as a ``self-styled
expert`` --- which I am not --- and detractor of RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12105, July 9 at 1514 and still at 1554, WTWW-3 is missing, while
nearby 12160 WWCR-2 is inbooming with sporadic-E boost (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

Bolivia, 6134.896, Radio Santa Cruz, 0045-0100, Noted a clear signal here
of music and Spanish
language comments from a male between tunes. At 0049 the male comments
continue over the
music while he comments on unrelated comments of the music. Comments
continue until the
hour. Signal was fair to poor by then. (Chuck Bolland, July 10, 2012)
