** BANGLADESH. 15505, August 14 at 1356, open carrier from Bangladesh Betar
prior to 1400 Urdu service is on already, and S2, better than JBA so maybe
today I can finally catch the mis-timesignal. Recognizable IS starts circa
1358:20, and yes! 5+1 pips end with a higher prolonged one at 1358:48.5* so
they are *way* fast now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ECUADOR [non]. 9530, Sunday August 13 at 2211, declamatory speech = sermon
in unknown language, maybe sorta Arabish, S8-S3. Aoki shows it`s Pulaar fromm
HCJB Radio Akhbar Mufriha, 250 kW, 27 degrees from ASCENSION daily except
Wednesdays at 2145-2215.
What is this? Easily overlooked in the WRTH is a ``Religious Broadcasters Cross
Reference Table`` which in 2017 edition is on page 518 after the clandestine
sexion and before the LW & MW frequency lists --- but not including this one,
under A, H, M or R. EiBi readme.txt language list shows Pulaar is spoken by ten
times as many people in S?n?gal as in Gambia totalling 3.3 mega. And why do
they skip Wednesdays; a holy day for them? Or because they daren`t skip Sundays
and need some day of rest (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6185, August 13 at 2217, very weak S5-S3 music, got to be XEPPM on
the air earlier than nominal 23-05 UT schedule during DST, as in Aoki, 1 kW.
Nothing else listed on 6185 at this hour, including major broadcasters. (CRI
Arabic via Albania, however at 20-22). Under quiet conditions I have also
detected the 6185 carrier close to midday, but never around sunrise, so when do
they really turn it on and when to they start programming, probably only // MW
1060? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6965-USB, August 14 at 0046, rock music at S8 about equal to
storm noise level from SW OK/NW TX, making copy very difficult. 0049 DJ
announcement sounds like Dick Weed of Radio Free What-ever, 0050 mentions HF
Underground; recheck 0109 seems off. Yes, RFW confirmed by many logs here
between 2302 and 0053*:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,36692.0.html
If you see no link to HFU after ``here``, it`s because some editor doesn`t want
you to go there. Started on 6955 but jumped to 6965 to avoid ute on 6947. Seems
to me pirates seldom ascend as high as 6965 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** PERU. As a DX editor who fixes up and comments on other people`s logs, I
realize that my own logs are subject to similar treatment. However, I must
object to this, copied exactly as it appeared in the NASWA Flashsheet as
substitute-edited by Rich D`Angelo:
``5980 PERU. Radio Chaski (very tentative), 2330- August 6, JJJBBBA carrier.
Best audible if tuned to 5979.65-USB. I stay on it amid the summer storm noise
level until auto cutoff at 2341:08.5* give or take. So, they?ve let it slip
more than 11 minutes past the nominal closing. Last timing here was July 20
until 2339:15*, which is 113.5 seconds over a 17-day period, or averaging 6.68
seconds per! Right on "schedule" within a few hundredths of a second. As usual
I don?t compute this until afterwards, so am not aware of exactly when the
carrier is going to drop. I love this precision in such an unintentional
display from an otherwise boring gospel huxter station. (Glenn Hauser, OK)``
My original report which appeared everywhere else did NOT say ``(very
tentative)`` --- that is Rich`s opinion, and he is entitled to remark that, but
not make it look like I was saying that. I have been tracking this station for
years, and there is nothing tentative about it. In this case, even with a
JJJBBBA carrier, there is no doubt whatsoever about its identity. I do not need
to hear a ``definite ID`` every time I log it. I would accept ``presumed``.
Experience and circumstantial evidence count for a lot. The rest of the details
about the slipping autotimer, in the context of countless previous logs of it
including on rare occasions, Spanish talk; logs mainly by Claudio Galaz, Chile,
confirming it`s active, and the lack of any other 5980 stations at this time,
should have made it obvious (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 17855, August 13 at 2201, REE is S9, very good with satellite info,
in sign-off routine, then playing 9-note IS many times over --- while
undeniably a nice tune (provenance?), it`s the kind of thing that can worm its
way into the brain and be hard to expel. In fact, this is the OSOB, as // 17715
is missing and I think others reported it absent earlier, altho I did hear both
17s at 1401. So you never know which combo of the four frequencies will be on
or not. // 15520 is now S8 to S4, and // 15390 is S4 to S3 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1890 monitoring: 11580, WRMI at 0208 with Glenn
Hauser?s "World of Radio" - Excellent Aug 13 (Mark Coady, Selwyn, Ontario,
Kenwood TS440S or Ten-Tec Argonaut II and 40 and 80 meter off centre-fed
dipoles, ODXA yg via DXLD)
Confirmed Sunday August 13 at 2330, on WBCQ 9331.510v-CUSB, fair. Also
confirmed UT Monday August 14 at 0300 on Area 51 webcast; also detectable in
OK/TX storm noise level at 0327 on WBCQ 5129.83-AM. Also confirmed UT Monday
August 14 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, poor S9 also with storm noise. Next:
Mon 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Tue 0030 WRMI 7730 to WNW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11580, Sunday August 13 at 2208, pleased to hear one of my favorite
tunes from the World Music loop on WRMI; it`s swing with a saxophone solo, but,
as ever, not identified. WRMI skedgrid shows 22-23 M-F is RAE in Italian, but
these weekend hours on 11580 are blank (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7489.932-AM, UT Monday August 14 at 0604, rock music, very poor, so
replacing `The Other Side of Midnight`? No, talk from that resumes at 0606.
They must leave a ToH news hole, but there was none. WBCQ program guide *still*
fails to include TOSOM which started months ago, 04-07 UT Sun & Mon only. Until
recently, 7490 had been slightly on the plus side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

My listening post gave me a good laugh earlier today. Patio table with
umbrella .. the antenna is a rectangle shape between those two speaker
stands with PVC pipe on them in my neighbors yard and driveway
Here's a picture of the antenna:
https://imgur.com/gallery/FIRca
I can see my listening post from my apartment 150 feet away no matter what
window I look out of.
I was in the kitchen making breakfast today and one lady was walking by,
saw the speaker stands... and stopped and looked... and I could see the
look on her face.... clear bewilderment, confusion and OH MY GOSH, what is
this contraption look on her face
She was gone by the time I walked downstairs and went outside

This is Radio Kuwait's 13650khz DRM service in Arabic. No matter what way I
point my antenna or fiddle with my antenna tuner, I don't get a good lock
at all. In fact, this is the best lock I've had in 2 weeks. Most times "DRM
Service A" text" shows up the display, but audio never plays and goes back
to "Tuning" then it repeats this cycle over and over.
far far Northwestern Pennsylvania with a Gospell GR216 radio, EmTech M2
Antenna tuner, DXEngineering HF PreAmp, Par Electronics AM Broadcast band
filter, 25 foot long by 10 foot tall Volleyball net magnetic loop antenna
connected to a Wellbrook ALA100LN
And yes, the EmTech Zm2 antenna tuner really does help and I can prove it.
It was originally intended for QRP Ham uses, but it makes a random length
long wire a bit more resonant at a given frequency, so in the case of SW
Listening, the signal is a bit stronger and less fading occurs.
