It`s also // 6020 Albania relay. Source soon becomes obvious when the talk is about stock market activity including NYSE. Things are REALLY messed up at RHC tonight. Obviously no one at studio or sites is monitoring what is going into or out of the transmitters! So how can they expect any listeners to do so? Shortly I check all the RHC Spanish frequencies for further anomalies but they are all on correct feed: 5040, 6060, 9535, 11670, 11760-overmod/distorted, 11830, 11840, 11850, 15230. At 0200, 6000 goes into Chinese like // 9580. 6145 is still dead air of S9+10. Ditto at next check 0222. Next2 check at 0456: 6000 is now in Cantonese CRI // 9790, and 6145 is STILL dead air. At 0500 we finally get to hear RCI in English as the extra frequencies have come on: 6060, 6100, and best 5040. Both 6000 & 6145 are now dead air. At 0548 I notice some hum on 6000, and at 0550 RHC English modulation finally cuts on, while 6145 remains dead air. Enough for tonight! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 6250, July 28 at 0130, RNGE Malabo with African pop music is poorly audible, peaking S9+10 combined with high noise level, fades to S7. At 0222 a JBA carrier. At 0459 better now and I confirm comparing to WWV 5000.000 that this is also right on 6250.000. At 0551, now Spanish talk, mostly announcer monolog, with a few words caught: ``una ma?ana agradable``, ``en Malabo``. At 0553 I also check the other RNGE, 5005 Bata and find a JBA carrier there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NEW ZEALAND. 7425, July 28 at 1220, for at least the third day, RNZI obviously continues on the Pacific antenna also USward resulting in much better signal than the PNG antenna; S9+10/20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. Es all over the 6m map with MUF projected to over 100 MHz, so I try again for some FM DX, July 28 at 1455: NOTHING unusual in bandscanning 87.7 to 94.1 MHz with attention to open frequencies; but here`s something unusual once again defaulting to an OK discovery: 91.3, some kind of far-right Christian program, 1459 UT ID as ``91.3 KAKO, Ada-Oklahoma City``. I`ve not heard that before, next to local 91.1; is it newly on air? Hardly, FCC FM Query shows it started in 2006y from a 7.6 kW transmitter. ERP in the horizontal plane was already 100 kW on a vertically polarized antenna. http://licensing.fcc.gov/prod/cdbs/pubacc/Auth_Files/1118491.pdf WTFDA DB shows: {KAKO 91.3 ADA OK 0.0 kW H, 100.0 kW V, 134.7 m HAAT, 35-13-36, 96-55-42, AMERICAN FAMILY RADIO, CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN} Claiming OKC is a stretch. One 60 dbu coverage map at FCC shows it barely reaching the SE corner of OKC. There is now some tropo enhancement, but not enough to produce anything on UHF TV, not even KTEN-26 Ada. Besides a glorified translator in Guymon, the only other Okie on 91.3 is KRSC-FM in Claremore, at Rogers State College, a ``Real College Radio`` station but only 2.2 kW; no wonder I seldom hear it, even circa Tulsa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non].

Typical ignorance, without noticing or correcting. Today I resolve to monitor 7780 before and after 1400 UT to determine whether WRMI make a transmitter/antenna switch improving `Power Hour` reception thisaway: At 1333 it`s S9 at best but hardly readable in noise level; while 7570 BS is S9+10 to 20. At 1358 I listen to 7780 continuously with BFO offset, but there is NO transmission break or improvement in strength, rather weakening gradually till I finally quit at 1423 when it`s S6 to S7. I also check the other 7s with BS until 1400: 7570 cuts off at 1400* sharp before WRMI ID can complete; 7730 goes to dead air until off shortly after 1402*. Now either transmitter and better antenna could make a quick switch to 7780 for TPH; but not today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 6149.0-USB, July 28 at 0131, INTRUDERS, 2-way in colloquial Spanish, S8, far enough from RHC dead air on 6145 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1621 UT July 28 ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Fri, 28 Jul 2017 14:59:29 -0400 From: "Paul B.

Message-ID: <cadc3yg1ueqefrcor7l+jaagwm8krtvnkssssajekaatq6ut...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Listen, I did wrong by bot sending out QSL cards for reception reports from hosting some previous broadcasts of "The Classics Experience" on shortwave via WRMI/WINB/Channel 292/Laser Hot Hits. It was totally my fault, with no one else possibly to blame. I got so flooded with mail and ended up being reminded how much I hate paperwork. For real folks, I'm really sorry. "Office work" isn't really my field of expetise or enjoyment. Here is my offer for anyone reading this...if you send me an email with the subject Reception report and simply include some time/date/frequency/song details, I will send you back an EQSL. A short audio recording will help, but not required. No personal attacks or snide comments will be accepted, if they are in the email, you get no reply. If I do any future broadcasts, only EQSL's will be offered!! ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Fri, 28 Jul 2017 19:29:22 +0000 From: Ivo Observer <ivo.obser...@gmail.com> To: frequenc...@bnr.bg Subject: [HCDX] SWLDXBulgaria News, July 28 Message-ID: <CANVtGkAetemSr1rP=N_bZ=le-gqbn5vaygn4w5s9rv_dsyd...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" ETHIOPIA Voice of Tigray Revolution and Radio Amhara on July 28: Voice of Tigray Revolution 1527&1627 on 5950 GDR 100 kW / non-dir to EaAf Tigrinya, weak/fairhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DC_ZKhFQ6Dw&feature=youtu.behttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTt0tfqHrEc&feature=youtu.be Radio Amhara 1606&1706 on 6090 GDR 100 kW / non-dir to EaAf Amharic, fair/goodhttp://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.bg/2017/07/reception-of-voice-of-tigray-revolution.html GERMANY(non) Reception of Voice of Oromo Liberation via MBR Nauen, July 28: 1700-1730 on 15420 NAU 100 kW / 139 deg to EaAf Afan Oromo Wed/Fri/Sun, good.
