** CHINA. Firedrake August 5: at 1333 JBA on 13970; 1337 P-F on 9000.
August 6: at 1317 poor on 9000, nothing on 8400, which has not been heard at
all for several days and presumed off. But has Sound of Hope moved to another
far out-of-band frequency as yet unfound?
At 1352 could hear FD on 11805 mixing with VOA and CNR1 jamming, also 12040
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC, 11760, August 6 at 0509 back in Spanish. You never know from one
night to the next whether this frequency will be in Spanish or English. Do they
change it on a whim, or just randomly? At least have not heard Portuguese
lately after 0500 on any RHC frequency.
9570, CRI relay, August 6 at 1400 opening English hour --- but this is supposed
to end at 1400! After a semi-minute, cut audio and after two minutes cut
carrier. Meanwhile, I checked 13740 where it is supposed to be from 1400, and
that was running normally; two different transmitters involved as already
obvious from open carrier on 13740 which starts as early as 1350 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. VOI still on 9524.9 or so, August 6 at 1318 during English hour,
with hum, talking about the origin of the WWW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. VOR Khabarovsk, 12000, still free of RHC QRM as that is
still on unannounced and perpetually crackly 11800 instead; August 5 at 1357
wrapping up Chinese hour, 1358 IS. 12000 quality has improved but somewhat
distorted, and with BFO on can tell carrier is still unstable. Very good signal
strength today; but August 6 at 1350 nothing audible, off the air? SF has been
down to 66 and not much else on high-latitude E Asian paths (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K. 17530, August 5 at 1329 poor with BBC sounder, Farsi. Don`t often hear
anything here but it is Rampisham, 1230-1500, 500 kW, 95 degrees (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WWCR, 13845, DGS service, August 5 at 1332 check. This would not be
notable, except on certain days recently it has been absent. Also on the air
about 24 hours later August 6. At that time, Es MUF was between 13845 and
15825, the latter not inbooming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WWRB, 18770, poorly audible August 5 at 1408 check with hoarse Ralph
giving 888 number. He axually thinx people are eager to listen to him on the
phone if not SW, altho for that I think he has a different toll number. 9385 x
2 = 18770, often making it here with a little help from the sporadic E layer,
MUF of which does not need to reach TV channel A2 to be effective on HF. Yet I
don`t recall anyone else ever reporting 18770. Why not try? I am not suggesting
that Brother Scare is any more listenable when heard on a harmonic. Depending
on skip distances, etc., other harmonics of US 9 MHz stations might be audible
in the 18-20 MHz area (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Last few days I`ve noticed WINB missing from both frequencies, such
as August 6 at 1354, nothing on 9265 or 13570. Curtailed schedule? But at 1554,
13570 was audible poorly, and as soon as I tuned in heard the convicted Tony
Alamo and some woman giving Texarkana TX PO Box. If you are broadcasting a
convicted criminal, does that make you an accessory? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9750, August 6 at 1320, besides Japanese talk from NHK,
co-channel from what sounded like a SE Asian song. V. of Malaysia is also
listed here in Indonesian, per Aoki, (as well as PBS Nei Menggu, and VOR
Russian via Kaliningrad) so VOM looks likely. It seems to me that both Japan
and Malaysia using same frequency to and from Asia is not a very good idea
