** CHINA. CNR1 jammers morning of June 2: 13980, June 2 at 1342, CNR1 jammer, fair, an echo apart from 13690
13690, June 2 at 1342, CNR1 jammer, very good 13830, June 2 at 1342, CNR1 jammer, poor, weaker than 13980 12950, June 2 at 1345, CNR1 jammer, fair 14870, June 2 at 1345, CNR1 jammer, very good! And a few seconds delayed compared to all the others 15120, June 2 at 1346, CNR1 jammer usual inbander with CCI from victim 15265, June 2 at 1346, CNR1 jammer usual inbander with het from Taiwan 16775, June 2 at 1347, CNR1 jammer, fair 16100, June 2 at 1347, CNR1 jammer, poor 17440, June 2 at 1348, CNR1 jammer, poor. This frequency strikes me as new. Yes! never reported in the DXLD archive by me or anyone; and not in current Aoki either 18980, June 2 at 1349, CNR1 jammer, very poor. Chex as the Tue & Fri 13-14 spot of RFA Tibetan via Kuwait 18870, June 2 at 1349, CNR1 jammer, very good! Another newish spot, reminding us to scan the entire 18-19 MHz region, and today I also scan all the way up to 21000, but no more found. But 18870 is in Aoki as one of countless Sound of Hope 0.1 kW nuisance transmitters from Taiwan, requiring the full force of ChiCom jamming to block it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 5040, June 2 at 0135, RHC Spanish is very undermodulated, with big hum; wiggle that patchcord! Normal modulation on several other Spanish frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EGYPT. 12070 & 11935 & 9965 & 9315, June 2 at 0111, NO signals from any of the usual four R. Cairo transmitters. Propagation not so good, but should be well audible as long as Turkey is, on 9770 & 9870, among others in the region at 0133 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 580, June 2 at 0520, I am trying again to ID the Mexican music station mixing with, and mostly way under WIBW Topeka KS with `Coast to Coast`. If WIBW is nulled, so is the competition. But occasionally the XE fades up when the KS fades down to a SAH, such as at 0524, seeming live DJ with birthday music dedication, but no local references caught. (In Spanish, instead of nacerdía, they say cumpleaños, literally ``completing years``.) Finally at 0550 another fadeup clinches it: ``La Rancherita del Aire`` ID in passing, which is XEMU, Piedras Negras, Coahuila, 5/2.5 kW --- so contrary to Raymie`s suggestion, it is not yet quitting AM for only FM 103.7, tho likely to be its eventual fate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 1120, June 1 at 1849 UT, KETU/KEOR Catoosa/Sperry/Tulsa is back on the air with usual music, shortly after I posted that it had not been heard since May 13. On caradio, after seeming open carrier circa 1800 UT. Breaks between music at 1859 UT and 1901 UT but no ID, no announcements at all, nor have I heard any since, no commercials even. Most of the tunes are `norteña` with male vocals. Perhaps still plugged into La Picuda format from Los Ángeles. 1120, still/again on June 2 at 0123 UT with music, making SAH of ~6 Hz with growing KMOX silly baseball game; and music continues past 0130. In June, official SR/SS for facility 3651, known to FCC only as KETU, are *1100/0145* UT (July: 1115/0145 UT). It also has a Critical Hours proviso, reducing power from 10 to 7 kW, which presumably means during the two hours after sunrise and before sunset. Another check 1650 UT June 2: it`s on (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PERU. 5980, June 2 at 0109, no carrier from R. Chaski, so maybe autocutoff timer has been reset closer to 0100*, if not just off the air this date. By now since last check a week ago, it should have precessed to approx. 0113.5*. Some storm noise from Texas, and computer noise from mine, but not more than I often cope with to detect OBX4M (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SRI LANKA. 11905, June 2 at *0114:10.5, carrier on from SLBC, very poor signal, so music start at 0114:46.5 is JBA, but I can still make out the 2+1 mistimesignal ending at 0115:19.0, its typical spot (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9330-CUSB, June 2 at 0108, WBCQ is on again with call-in `Line of Fire`, very good signal; 0119 discussing whether BB King was really a Christian. A bit of audio also when switched to LSB reception, but much louder on upper. Meanwhile, 5110v and 7490v are both Brother Scare. 9330.0 appears to be close to on-frequency, tho no attempt at preciser measurement. I have been checking 9330 at random times since first caught back on air May 29 around 0500, after months of silence. The online program guide still has NO entries for 9330! http://schedule.wbcq.com/main.php?fn=sked&freq=9330 No program by that name is anywhere on the 7490 or 5110 schedules either. Show site station list http://www.lineoffireradio.com/station-list/ does not include WBCQ, in Maine just an FM station in faroff Portland. Live time is 18-20 UT M-F. Subtitle is ``Revolutionary Radio with Dr Michael Brown``, but a cursory look at the site indicates it`s just another far-right gospel huxter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 12105, June 2 at 0111, no signal from WTWW-3, which is normally on until 0200 with additional hour of different passé Pastor Pete Peters stuff as if fulltime on WTWW-1 weren`t more than enough (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGSEST) ** U S A. 7505+, June 2 at 0117, WRNO is off again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 1500, June 2 at 0459 UT I make another attempt to ID the station audible with KSTP MN nulled as much as possible, as heard 47 hours ago with `Coast to Coast`, despite lack of any known affiliates on frequency. Now I am getting only an open carrier, making SAH of ~10 Hz with KSTP. At 0500 UT a bit of rock music but probably a third station, as OC continues to dominate 0504-0507+ UT. The null on KSTP is not far off from Pawhuska OK east of here, and I still suspect this is coming from KPGM daytimer as explained in May 31 log. Still same at 0534 UT final check (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1733 UT June 2 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
