** CHINA. CRI in Russian on 6100, August 3 until 1257*, good signal on 500 kW
aimed 55 degrees from Beijing site, thus onward toward us past DVR. Per Aoki,
resumes at 1300 in Mongolian but aimed NW from Beijing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** ITALY. I haven`t checked any of the other NAm broadcasts, but Rai was still
on 17780 at *1400 August 5. Altho only fair, this is the best signal direct
from Europe at this hour on 16m, no doubt because it is the only one axually
aimed at us. There has been some question about part of Rai`s SW schedule being
cancelled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. RHC 6000 now has a het in the mornings here on 6003, and
no doubt that is from the new frequency of Echo of Hope, clandestine from S to
N Korea. Not strong enough at 1251 August 3 to really bother RHC, but
detectable; on // 6348, heavy swish jamming dominated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** LITHUANIA. The Mighty KBC, 6255, originating in Netherlands, finally checked
their weekly broadcast to NAm, UT Sun Aug 5 during last 8 minutes from 0152 UT.
Continuous music bed whilst acknowledging reception reports from June and July,
including some familiar names such as Christer Brunstr?m, Terry Palmersheim.
Plugged http://mediumwave.info and commercial for Kaito, synthesizer music
right up till 0200. SINPO 34433. Periodic pulsing ute QRM, but not too bad. I
wonder what else they do besides play pop music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. XEXQ, 6045, now definitely heard again, as classical vocal
music was audible August 3 at 1248; 1259 piano music, 1300 announcement by YL
but too weak to make out. This had a hefty 4 Hz SAH from something, presumably
the FE station on 6045 which might otherwise go unnoticed. Aoki shows that is
now:
VOICE OF RUSSIA 1100-1400 1234567 Chinese 250 kW 230 degrees
Vladivostok-Rasdoln RUS 13157E, 4332N VOR a07 and followed by another hour in
English, same parameters.
Also, no trace of XEYU carrier on 9599.2 once Cuba had closed, at 1303 August 3
nor 4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. I happened to hear WWCR announce on 13845 August 4 at 1303 that all
four transmitters were going off the air for ``powerline and electrical
maintenance``, and would return when completed. Meanwhile programming continues
available on streams. Now`s our chance to hear something else on 15825, 13845,
9985, 5890, later 12160, depending on how long it lasts.
WWCR is still off at 0230 UT Sunday August 5, so no WOR on 5070. I hear that
the problem is an insulator in the field on one of the rhombics, but until that
is repaired they can`t run any of the SW transmitters. Probably could be
temporarily fixed with a rope. Apparently this is unrelated to the previous
problem of a relay burning up, which is likely to cause some of the WWCR-1
frequencies to funxion at lowered power. So tonight`s your chance to DX
something on or near 3215, 5070, 5935, etc.
Jason at WWCR called to apologize to the DX community for the missing DX block,
and explained that when they were trying to repair the first problem today,
another wire came down and now it`s too dark to work on that. They have called
in a professional crew to work on it and hope to have it all repaired and be
back on the air sometime Sunday morning. And then I also got this from him
(Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
WWCR Engineering Bulletin Saturday Evening, August 4th, 2007.
Due to an antenna insulator failure, all four shortwave transmitters are
temporarily off air. A lines crew has been contacted and have confirmed that
they will be on WWCR property to perform any repairs by 7:30 AM CT, Sunday. We
will resume transmission immediately following the repair. Our programming will
remain available via streaming audio at http://wwcr.com
I would especially like to thank the DX Community for your understanding of the
omission of this evening's DX Block on shortwave. We appreciate the service
that the DX Community provides shortwave listening as a whole. Kind Regards as
Always, --Jason Cooper, WWCR CE (via Glenn Hauser, DXLD)
Don`t know when they resumed, but 13845 back on and very strong at 1736 UT
check August 5; much weaker on 15825, 12160, 9985 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Was enjoying some big band music, Stardust? August 5 at 1332 on WWRB
11920, when it abruptly switched in mid-note to a hoarse, screaming Brother
Scare, // 9385 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. Pleased to get a semi-listenable signal from R.
Nacional de la RASD, on 6300, still on the air by 0608 UT, August 3 on 6300,
with chanting in Arabic, or rather Hassania, I suppose, and shortly into talk.
At first it seemed to lack any RHC spur co-channel QRM, but that developed
shortly at 0611, 6060 leapfrog over 6180 at 120 kHz further up the band (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

KOREA NORTH 3250.03, V.O. Korea (pres.), 1013-1030, Tlk by M in Asian
sounding lang. w/occas. MOR instru. mx. Had a very weak signal on 11865
and it did sound // at 1033 w/W vcl song then W anncr briefly at 1034 on
both freqs. Someone in the neighborhood turned on their TV at 1035 and
wiped out 3250. Caught the IS at 1200 on 11865. Also had signals from
2850.05 and 3959.73. (Valko 4 August)
Never really checked out the CODAR Web site before, but did so a few weeks
ago and was thoroughly disgusted. I didn't realize these things were sold
commercially. I thought it was simply for scientific/oceanographic
research and that it would end one day. It seems not much thought was ever
given to the interference they might cause. I guess the 4 mhz portion of
the spectrum will never be the same again. I wonder if things would be
different if the interference was covering the 80 mb instead of the 60 mb.
Haven't been doing much DXing lately due to a number of reasons not the
least of which is the typical noisy Summer conditions.

Hi All,
I found today 08/05 in 14450 kHz, an undentified station at 1755 UTC,
with musics in oriental style with drums, may be from China, SINPO-25432,
with broken in the audio stream, sign off at 1800 UTC and returned
1804 UTC. No talks heard, only music in the transmission .
Someone can help me?

Djaci,
This is the typical pattern of the `Firedrake` jamming from China against the
Sound of Hope clandestine, one transmitter of which constantly moves around in
this frequency range. You can read much more about this in DX Listening Digest
if you search on Firedrake or ``Sound of Hope``.
