Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
** ALBANIA [and non]. R. Tirana, 13640 to NAm, again audible Aug 16 at 1454,
S9+12 level but distorted, needs better modulation, theme music. 1458 cuts to
other music with more flutter --- oops, the latter must be CRI via Kashi, as
scheduled in English to Europe, as was still going at 1500 opening in Chinese
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. With Singapore gone from 6150, Firedrake at 1210 Aug 19 vs
Taiwan in Chinese; also FD On 6110 under Chinese, that being VOA Tinian, and
per Aoki listings also jamming their own PBS Xizang. And more Firedrake on 6085
intended against Taiwan but over WYFR in Spanish here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. RHC has another QRM problem: on 11760, Aug 19 at 0533, Arnie
Coro`s ``news`` was mixing with something else, slow SAH. Normally RHC is in
the clear, tho signal level varies widely from night to night on this band. Per
Aoki it could be CNR1; or NHK in Russian. Likely the latter, as NHK Russian was
one of the few other signals on the band on 11715, and that one is reliably and
remarkably good here as it is aimed toward DVR and thence NAm, unlike 11760.
Next time I must try to // them.
WRMI, 9955, fading in at 1148 Tue Aug 19 during Wavescan, no jamming. But at
1153 the pulse jamming started, prior to 2-hour Radio Cuba Libre transmission
daily at 12-14 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTNENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. This was going to be classified as UNIDENTIFIED: Aug 18 at 0028 past
0103 I found an open carrier on 9280. Taiwan uses this in the mornings, but
now? Surely not Asia. Considerable fading but equivalent to other signals on
the 31m band which did have modulation. Something new testing? No! Did not
remember until I looked it up that this is R. Cairo in Arabic to North America
--- minus the Arabic, no trace of any modulation at all, which is considerably
worse than the low modulation they usually run, or even adequate modulation in
Arabic compared to lesser languages. O well, firing up the transmitter and
burning the kW is half the battle (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1422, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. Aug 19 was a bad Indo morning, as could not hear any of the 60m
outlets around 1130-1200+, and at 1200, VOI 11784.9 was only a het against
equally weak signals on 11785.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 3912, noise jammer over talk at 1128 Aug 19, i.e. the
Chocom blocking V. of the People, out of the South (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. XEXQ, 6045, Aug 19 at 1207 barely audible with Pomp & Circumstance,
soon into Spanish announcement. Have heard Elgar`s P&C 5 before around this
time and suspect it`s their sign-on, or else they are really fond of this
piece. Soon faded under noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non] On 7175, Aug 19 at 1226, jazz into Japanese past 1230. This
is V. of Russia, via Pet-Kam at 12-14. We have a convenient choice of this or
7190 with CRI in Japanese at 10-16, but the latter better here as it`s also
aimed US-ward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. BBCWS, 11860 via GUIANA FRENCH, Aug 19 at 1156 with totally
inappropriate ID loop in English, about ``no service on this channel, but 24h
English and Arabic on one of this satellite`s nearby channels`` (paraphrased)
and referring to bbcworldservice.com But, but, this is shortwave, not
satellite! At 1200 cut to BBC Mundo Radio in Spanish, and thence heavy ACI from
CRI 11855 via Sackville. Meanwhile, 9410 at 1159 was doing the WHRI sign-on,
and from 1200 // (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WYFR, Harold Camping Open Forum in English, Aug 19 at 1143
on 9550 // 9625 and 9755, interrupted by QSY announcement mentioning continuing
frequencies including 7780, which is out of date, that having changed to 7730,
also confirmed at this hour. After 1145, 9755 and 9550 were gone but 9625
continued, inaudiblizing CBC NQ. WYFR on 9550 at 1100-1145 this season may be
another reason RHC abandoned that frequency for the 19m band, tho I am sure
they would never admit that, either.
5970, Aug 19 at 1212 had a SAH and a hymn mixing with REE Costa Rica. That`s
Family Radio in Korean via Komsomol`sk/Amure, per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. RNV via CUBA, 6060, Aug 19 at 1137 as I tuned across had
the English YL with always too-literal translation of Spanish script, this
about Cinemateca Nacional, with long list of movie titles in Spanish +
translations, film festivals (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Hi all,
The eye of Fay is almost over my location. The wind is blowing
the rain sideways and my roof is rumbling like thunder. It is
very frightening. I made a vow that I wasn't going to experience
this again, but the weather reports said that Fay wouldn't even
come close to Clewiston. They said it would make landfall near
Tampa. So I didn't plan on driving out of the range of Fay. Instead Fay
is taking the same route that Wilma took back in 05. I am still in "shell
shock" from Wilma.
Thank you NOAA for your good(??) work again.
Chuck
