** ANGUILLA. 6090, open carrier with some hum, August 12 at 0630 and for
several minutes, longer than DGS` sometimes pregnant pauses. He was
pontificating as usual on 5935 WWCR (not // 5890 now), so Caribbean Beacon
really lost the feed. Very weak understation on 6090, Brasil or Nigeria? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Aug 12:
8400, nothing at 1325; could well be on but just not propagating
10500, fair at 1331
14400, very poor at 1337
14700, very poor at 1337 but slightly better than 14400
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 15460, Aug 12 at 1420, poor with talk in Amharic, some reverb
but no jamming audible. It`s DW via RWANDA, 1400-1457, 250 kW non-direxional.
Don`t usually hear this, but only thing in the area, with no reception from
Antarctica today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 15150, Aug 12 at 1422, poor signal in Qur`an. It`s VIRI`s Arabic
service, 500 kW, 295 degrees from Sirjan, in its 11-hour-per-day schedule of
0530-1630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Not to be outdone by 6090 ANGUILLA [q.v.], WTWW 5755 also
broadcasting unmodulated carrier, Aug 12 at 0633 instead of PPPP (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9370-9410, WWRB BS from 9385, Aug 12 at 1422, extending to this range
with frying sound, impeding WTJC 9370 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. 11705, strong and steady open carrier, Aug 12 at 1337;
surely Cuban transmitter relaying RNV failed to turn off at 1300. Still at
1351, with trace of an understation, no doubt NHK Indonesian (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. 6297.1, on Aug 12 not checked until 0627 when music
was playing, so still signing on before 0700. We are tempted to refer to this
station by its Spanish name, Radio Nacional de la República Árabe Saharaui
Democrática, since we understand Spanish much better than the Hassania Arabic
dialect, but only one hour a day is in Spanish, at most, so we really ought to
use the other ID, quoting from WRTH 2010: Sowt al-sha`ab a-Sahraui al-mukafa
--- SSSM for short; or SASASAM? Yeah, that`s cool (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) ###
