Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
** AUSTRIA. 15440, Aug 11 at 1411, S Asian music featuring soprano and tabla
briefly peaks, then fades out. Scheduled is AWR in Urdu at 1400-1430, due east
from Moosbrunn (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Aug 11: 8400, very poor with heavy flutter, at 1251. No
others found up to 18 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. R. Verdad was reported from Germany Aug 5 at 0023 on 4052,
indicating they have finally got the SW transmitter fixed. However, details
were sparse and am awaiting any confirmation. On Aug 10 I did not get around to
checking 4052.5 until 0557, but nothing there. Nominal schedule is until 0605*.
As of Aug 9 there was nothing on their website http://www.radioverdad.org
or their blog
http://www.radioverdadguatemala.blogspot.com/
about this; I forwarded the report to Dr. Madrid, but no reply from him yet. So
we need to keep looking for it earlier in the evening, and also from *1100
Mon-Sat. Nope, nothing there at 0310 Aug 11 either (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI, Aug 11 at 1334 with Let`s Learn Bahasa Indonesia
until 1339 Music Corner starting with child singing off-key (on-key in
Indonesian terms?). Language lessons are showing up more lately. Trouble is,
even with VG reception, I have trouble understanding the English, let alone the
Indonesian. She just pronounces various words in Indonesian, then translates.
Not user-friendly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Another open carrier from an OK station: 1490, KMFS Guthrie, the
normally heard groundwave signal here in daytime. I was in the car and failed
to make notes, so IIRC, the time was 2106 UT Aug 9, but suddenly cut on
preacher in progress at 2110. This is the one owned by Jimmy Swaggart, but did
not sound like the crybaby at the moment, rather an ilkmate. O well, 4 minutes
is better than nothing.
1120, KEOR Sperry-Tulsa also featured OC when checked Aug 10 at 2053; earlier
in the hour soul music as usual (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES [and non]. 9625, Aug 11 at 1300, CBC NQ with CBC News, fast SAH
and CCI from ``Jesus Saves`` IS of FEBC, 1301 latter into hymn in unknown
language, listed Hmong in EiBi; enough to ruin CBC reception (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1280, KSOK, Arkansas City KS, semilocal missing in caradio bandscan
Aug 10 at 2040 UT, audiblizing a weak C&W music station which it ordinarily
totally covers. Unfortunately the storm noise level was high and growing; 2059
announcement could not copy any ID, but 2100 back to C&W instead of news; 2105
another announcement and more music. Checking the NRC AM Log 2009, the next
closest stations on 1280 are:
KNBY Newport AR, and KDKD Clinton MO, but neither format matches, talk and
oldies respectively. Much further and not likely to make it by GW at all is a
C&W station, KCNI in Broken Bow NE --- all 1 kW non-direxional. Then there`s 5
kW in Denver KBNO, but it`s Spanish and highly direxional away. Perhaps
something closer will click with updated format info. KSOK back on air at next
check Aug 11 at 1638.
630, Aug 10 at 2050, tnx to IBOC off WWLS-640 for a change, could make out weak
signal here, but again too much storm noise. Prime suspect is KHOW Denver,
which is closest and with a lobe in our direxion; plus Denver 670 is audible
any day, noise level permitting (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. 6297.1, just like 24 hours earlier, Aug 11 at 0556
open carrier, with 8-at-a-time utebeep ACI on low side, but this time LV de la
RASD did not get around to signing on promptly, still OC at 0604 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Particularly good reception of Radio Fly today, both at 1100 and 1200
UTC checks. Both 5960 and 3915 were good, but the clearer frequency
was actually 3915 khz, with virtually no ham QRM. Quick jingle ID
noted just after 1100, with announcer giving live ID with frequencies at
1200 UTC, at the end of the evening program, then continued with more
pop music..

ANT: 100m Longwire/Randomwire
ACC: Palstar MW-550P Mediumwave Preselector
1152 11 AUG, 2212 UTC, PAKISTAN, PBC Rawalpindi, on outside of normal hours
(per WRTH) with many IDs in English by man and woman announcers into a
call-in show in Urdu, with many mentions of broadcasting. Possibly on
outside of normal hours because of Ramadan or the disastrous flooding. They
are only about 230 miles away from me. Signals were very strong with an
occasional fade and no interference.
4319 USB 11 AUG, 2049 UTC, BIOT Diego Garcia, AFRTS with PSA's and money
advice show into NPR's All Things Considered and news. If I ever get lonely
for US-style talk radio, this is the station I would tune into. Good
signals with some RTTY QRM from 2.5kHz higher.
5050 11 AUG, 2300 UTC CHINA, Beibu Bay Radio, time pips into announcements
in Vietnamese (according to sked) by woman and man. Fair signal level with
moderate fading.
6297 11 AUG, 2024 UTC, CLAN (ALGERIA), Radio Nacional de la RASD, heard in
Arabic and dramatic music. Supposedly only 20kW on their shortwave
frequency, so not so bad with only fair reception. No QRM and only summer
static.
7465 11 AUG, 1906 UTC, ALBANIA, Radio Tirana in French with news items and
commentary. Transmission is aimed at Western Europe but heard here in Kabul
with S4 signals and no QRM but moderate fading. Modulation did appear to be
a little low, however.
7530 11 AUG, 1859 UTC, CLAN (ARMENIA), Radio Free North Korea, early sign
on with military march and then news points read by a man in Korean with
brief music bed interludes between items. Very good signals, with jammer
(North Korean?) barely heard underneath. Has anyone ever received a QSL
from these fellows?
