** BAHRAIN. 9745, Radio Bahrain, 2357-0020, August 4-5, carrier + USB.
Audible after Romania 2357 sign off. Local Mid-Eastern style music. Local
chants at 0002. Arabic talk. Local pop music. Poor to fair. (Brian Alexander,
PA)
?
** BRAZIL. 4877.22v, Radio Roraima, 0335-0404*, August 5, Portuguese

Dionne Warwick?s I?ll Never Love This Way Again. Pulled plug after short
announcement at 0404. Poor in noisy conditions. Constantly drifting
between 4877.22 - 4877.31. (Brian Alexander, PA)
?
** ETHIOPIA. 6030, Radio Oromiya, *0322-0340, August 1, sign on with
marimba IS. Opening announcements to 0330 in listed Oromo. Local
Horn of Africa style music at 0333. Weak. Poor with adjacent channel
splatter. Must use ECSS-LSB to avoid noise on high side, but in the
clear with Radio Marti off the air on UTC Mondays. Barely audible by
0340. (Brian Alexander, PA)

** ALBANIA. Checking R. Tirana, during very poor propagation August 6:
at 0028 on 7425, national anthem, 0029 IS, 0030 off as scheduled. Could not
hear 9860 for 0030 English to confirm whether both Shijak transmitters are back
in use. At 0144, 7425 back on for English but still very poor with flutter,
just making out the IS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Friday August 5 at 1247 and a few later chex, still zero
from LRA36, to end another week of silence from the deep-frozen Base Esperanza
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. Minor correxion to previous report of CFQC-TV-1: Aug 4 tune-in was
at 2031 UT, not 2037 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake August 5, before 1200:
10300, at 1156 I am hearing some very poor Chinese talk, no FD! Presumably a
rare catch of Sound of Hope itself
12270, fair at 1157
12500, fair at 1157
13130, very poor at 1158
14720, very poor at 1158
15800, very poor at 1159-1200*
Did not get above 16 MHz before 1200 hiatus, if any
Before & after 1230:
14950, poor at 1228; none higher
14720, very poor at 1228; none in 13`s or 12`s
11545, fair at 1234, 1246; yes, 11545, not 15545. Aoki has nothing on 11545 to
jam, but Tajikistan with SOH on 11550 at 1200-1230, 11555 at 1230-1300.
Probably had jumped down another 5
11500, see UNIDENTIFIED; none in the 10`s
After 1330:
14720, very poor at 1334; none in the 11`s, 12`s or 13`s; unlike:
14950, very good at 1334
15295, very poor at 1336; Aoki shows vs V. of Tibet 15292 at 1330-1401
16100, very good at 1337
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM [and non]. 9910, August 5 at 1147, unison reading of something in
Chinese, Bible? With constant het on hi side less than 1 kHz, still same at
1210, and have also noticed it previous mornings. Scheduled is KTWR in Chinese
at 1100-1230 except Saturdays. So is it ChiCom jamming or an unfortunate
collision with a ute? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. 7245, August 5 at 0142, checking earlier than before for IGIM,
and before Tajikistan is supposed to open at 0200, yes, there is a poor signal
here, with flutter, and similar programming to previous overnights --- two
fellows now conversing in Arabish. So I am more convinced that IGIM has
expanded to 24 hours for Ramadan. But the signal is much better later, as at
0522 in chanting altho with ACI from 7250 Vatican (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1640, August 5 at 1222 UT in a brief hi-end MW scan noting some
skywave is still showing, local KFXY is in dead air. Open carrier then goes off
at 1229*. Back on as usual later in day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Tropo is up from OKC in the evening after another of our 40+
degree days, but a minor storm skirted Enid earlier. At 0300 UT Aug 6, 48 KWDW
is showing with Univisi?n, and the only other analog LP I can see is on 19 with
gospel huxter in English constantly walking back and forth on the stage; also
looks like squeezed video, or he has a very narrow face. 0327 outro as Joseph
Prince Ministries, via Cornerstone TV. It`s KUOT-CA with 150 kW, but still
quite snowy here (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 12120, August 5 at 1332, 6-pip timesignal two minutes late
makes it thru the RTTY QRM, apparently emanating from FEBC Bocaue in Burmese at
1330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 12150, August 5 at 1256, VOA English has been sufficient during
this hour, now concluding with Earth-Sky.org about a killer asteroid coming in
2036y. That took only a sesquiminute, still leaving time for a USG Editorial at
1257.6, on Guinea, Ivory Coast and a third African country holding free
elexions; Is due west from Tinang, PHILIPPINES; signal drops after 1300 switch
to 349 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7811-USB, August 5 at 0141 UT check, AFN Saddlebunch Keys is back on
proper frequency after having been on mispunched 7881-USB for at least 20 hours
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, UT Friday August 5 at 0507, WORLD OF RADIO 1576 in progress,
readable at peaks over the pulse-jamming, then fading below it plus T-storm
noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Hey, what happened to the robot at the USCG marine weather stations?
8502-USB, Aug 5 at 0524 it`s clearly a live human man reciting the geo
coordinates and millibars, also mentions National Hurricane Center. There is
background noise which surges a bit during pauses, modulation is not so
distorted as it used to be, and // 6501-USB. If this schedule is still correct,
http://www.yachtcom.info/MarineSSB/index.html
showing some frequencies are time-shared by different stations, at 0515 UT on
8502 it`s NMG New Orleans, and at 0515 UT on 6501, it`s NMN Chesapeake. So they
are supposed to be // from the same announcer? 6501 is also scheduled at other
times from NMC Pt Reyes and NMO Honolulu (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. August 5 before 1400 UT, tropo was up from the west, with solid
rather than marginal signal from 88.1 KWOU Woodward OK, so after breakfast I
check TV: at 1419 Woodward`s KOMI-34 and weaker KUOK-35 are in, so now switch
to analog like on July 14 as in DXLD 11-28, and find weak translator signals on
47, 49 and 53.
47 is PBS // OETA with Sesame Street but not synchronized; can`t see well
enough to rule out the OETA LR bug, but these three signals correlate as
translators in Follett, extreme NE corner of TX Panhandle.
The only PBS-47 analog fit in FCC TV Query and W9WI.com is K47BP, 924 watts,
licensed to Booker TX, relaying KACV-9 Amarillo, but the FCC map by co?rdinates
puts it much closer to Follett. KACV`s website attributes ch 47 to Follett, in
fact. Distance to site calculated by
http://www.convertalot.com/great_circle_distance_calculator.html
is 214 km = 133 miles.
The others assumed: K49BB Follett of KAMR-19 Amarillo, and K53BB Follett, of
KCIT-15 Amarillo; latter looks like 700 Club, with the other guy than Pat
Robertson. 49 faded before I could figure out programming (Glenn Hauser, Enid
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9775, August 5 at 1150, again today I am hearing the continuous
tone test reported yesterday as 9770, but now it`s closer to 9775. Have a hard
time confirming it`s DSB tone rather than a het since the signal is too weak to
pin down on the YB-400 with indoor antenna (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11500, fair open carrier at 1235 and 1246 August 5, suspected FD;
at 1259, 11500 has some brief tones on and off, Russian-style, so evidently VOR
as in Aoki via Tajikistan, supposed to go from English to Hindi at 1300, and
after 1300 maybe traces of modulation. This transmitter has had modulation
missing before. Aoki also shows Sound of Hope could be on 11500, 24 hours, and
consequently Firedrake (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
