** BRAZIL. A Brazilian listener mentioned R. Bandeirantes unheard lately on
6090, 9645 or 11925, but I am still hearing its het de approx. 9645.3, against
Vatican in Scandinavian, Aug 8 at 0505. I have not been hearing 11925v,
however, in many bandscans around this time; nor other Brazilians on 25m. If
any make it, aside from RNA on 11780 Sundays only, it`s SRDA on 11765v. Haven`t
really paid attention, but 6090 is also off-frequency causing a low het to
Anguilla when on, but so does Nigeria (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. As I was checking for WTWW on 9479, came upon extremely distorted
FMy blob covering roughly 9448-9460, August 8 at 0459, the CBC announcer
immediately recognizable promoting upcoming BBC program after the news, ``The
Strand``. Yes, // CBCNQ 9625, but it`s about to sign off, no Strand here!
And found matching blob between 9790 and 9800, spurs about 170 kHz either side.
0500 into news, 0505 sign-offs in English and French, 0506 ``O Canada`` on all
three ranges, 0508 to open carriers; 9625 suffers from ACI de REE CR 9630.
0508:15 tone test starts, and it`s louder on the spurs. Sometimes the tone goes
on for hours on 9625, but fortunately all were gone at next check 0521. The
upper one had been blocking RFI on 9790. Around 1315, weak 9625 but no spurs
detectable, back in whack for now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Still hunting for Firedrake, which has virtually disappeared this
fortnight, nothing found after 1305 Aug 8 from 8400 up --- until I get to 17515
at 1324. Poor signal, but no mistaking it, as it`s in ``ramshorn`` passage
always at this minute, followed by heavy drumming, and cut off at 1330*. Per
Aoki the target is BBC Uzbek via Cyprus, which was completely inaudible.
15520, Aug 8 at 1358, weak Chinese mentioning Meiguo, 1359 typical CNR1
hyper-assertive declamation, one pip and off at 1400*. Per Aoki, V. of Tibet
has been on 15521 or 15522 for Chinese via Tajikistan at 1330-1342, 1200-1208
respectively. I didn`t think to check whether what I was hearing was on exactly
15520, but may as well have been as a jammer (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) See also UNID 15562
** CUBA [and non]. 5025, R. Rebelde, Aug 8 at 0520 just open carrier, but
that`s all I need to compare to 4025 for Star Radio, Liberia, which was not
making it at all. That could be because L?cio Ot?vio Bobrowiec, Brasil, found
it on 3900 instead this date at 0647-0705! Certainly no improvement for the
DXer; why such a move? 4025 was a nice clear frequency, no QRhaM; all they
needed was more oomph and modulation.
Sunday Aug 8 at 1347, tuning by RHC 15120, I notice that instead of the DX
program En Contacto, scheduled at 1335-1350, the stamp program El Mundo de la
Filatelia is on instead! At 1352, airing correctly the scheduled program from
1350, En Compa??a del Doctor, medical advice. Was there a tape mixup between EC
and EMDLF? Or a radical shakeup in programmation? Filatelia nominal time is
1410, as well as 1110; should have checked whether DX showed up at 1410 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also VENEZUELA [non]
** JAPAN [non]. 11655, Aug 8 at 1353, Japanese service of NHKWNRJ via CANADA
playing ``This Boy`` by the Beatles, and 1354 back-announced as such by YL DJ,
whose voice is so deferential I can almost hear her bowing. 1355 electronic
music bit and into OM with news about Pakistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** LIBERIA. See CUBA [and non]. Star Radio
** U S A. Checking WTWW 24 hours after the frequency-change trouble: both
channels missing, not on 5755 or 9479, Aug 8 at 0458. Guess they were still
working on it. But back as normal on 9479 around 1315 with PPPP (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, WRMI, Sunday Aug 8 at 0503, no jamming and good signal making
me wonder if the NW antenna is finally back in service, but unlikely,
especially since it`s the Brazilian program Encontro DX, at the moment quoting
Adalberto Marques de Azevedo reminding us to remove batteries from devices not
in use or being transported. WYFR inbooming even more on 31m, so it was just a
temporary pipeline de SFL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7415, WBCQ on much later than usual, UT Sunday Aug 8 at 0517, gospel
huxter with southern accent, not that that is distinctive, and certainly not
Brother Scare who occupies great gobs of earlier time on The Planet. But next
check at 0523 it`s the Beach Boys, 0525 Rod Stewart; what a mix. O, it`s one of
Ted Randall`s shows, 0530 outro as ``Outlaw Gospel Life``, with Ted and Dr. R.?
Michael conversing, apparently about to wrap up, and at next check 0538, 7415
was off.
This ``Outlaw Gospel`` thing is certainly low profile. Can`t find anything
significant by Googling. Apparently it`s a subset of Ted`s QSO show, which is
scheduled on 7415 WBCQ UT Sundays 0000-0300, extended much later than that
tonight. I reported it previously this year:
``7415, WBCQ, UT Sunday May 9 at 0039, Ted Randall with ``Outlaw Gospel`` show
plugging prayforme.com. VG signal, no CCI audible. The current WBCQ schedule
claims it`s QSO with Ted Randall, Sat 18-20 and UT Sun 00-03; and still shows
QSO Tue 21-23, plus his Radio Disclosure Wed & Thu 21-23.``
Now the prayforme.com website, hosted in Santa Fe, Argentina, of all places,
has been suspended. And can find nothing about Outlaw Gospel at
http://www.tedrandall.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WJHR, 15550-USB, Aug 8 at 1538, pseudo-scientific talk about the sun
shrinking, questioning age of the Solar System. Does not sound like the usual
fire-and-brimstone preacher, so programming is being diversified? Whoopee.
Sufficient signal (Glenn Hasuer, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. Checking for El Hugazo, Sunday Aug 8 at 1536, no signals on
12010, 13750 or 17750 via CUBA; nominal start time on rare occasions he shows
up for ``Alo, Presidente``, is 1530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1580 check Sunday Aug 8 after 1310 UT found no Spanish, unlike
Saturday, underneath the KOKB Blackwell OK open carrier; just a mix of several
stations including one with country/rock music, which I don`t hear on Saturdays
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15562, Aug 8 at 1320, weak het to Portugal 15560, presumably
ChiCom jamming against V. of Tibet`s variable frequency via Tajikistan (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

6765, 08 AUG, 1844 UTC, THAILAND, Bangkok Meteorological Radio, in USB with
weather announcements in Thai and English. Fair to weak sigs with no
interference and constant level. Between languages, they play a little IS
that sounds like an ice cream truck on the bad side of town.
6973, 08 AUG, 1838 UTC, ISRAEL, Galei Tzahal, EZ listening and soft jazz
music program with a male DJ. I was a bit surprised to hear the DJ say in
English "This is from my personal collection." First English announcement
I've ever heard on this station. Very good signal level and only summer
noise to deal with. Slight to moderate fading.
Not too much DX last night, as I was attending an Afghan Engagement Party.
This was rather interesting since the men and women are separated at the
party. But there was a live band playing Afghan music (at quite a high
decibel level) and traditional Afghan dancing along with a hearty feast.
Normally, I don't go to events like this, but it was our Asst. GM and Sales
Manager, who is a good friend. The wedding party is promising to be even
more of a blow-out with an even bigger feast.
