** AUSTRALIA. 9580, Aug 21 at 1324, finale of Beethoven`s Fifth, a favourite
selected by guest Graham Clark(e), inventor of the cochlear implant and now a
Believer, on `Sunday Night` from RA. This prompts me to rant that RA, and
hardly any other SW station, would *dream* of playing that entire, or any other
symphony! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 11650, Aug 21 at 1311, CRI in Esperanto, easily recognizable from
unique intonation even if you can`t make out many of the words, poor signal in
ACI from 11655 NHK via Canada.
At CRI, judging from number of broadcast hours per day, six, four of them on
two frequencies, per WRTH update May 27:
Esperanto Days Area kHz
1100-1200 daily EAs 11635uru, 15110uru
1300-1400 daily SEA 9440nnn, 11650bei
1600-1700 daily Eu 1215fla
1700-1800 daily Eu 11650xia
1930-2030 daily Eu 7265kas, 9745uru
2200-2300 daily SAm 7315kas, 9860kas
Esperanto is more important than: Albanian, Amoy, Bengali, Bulgarian, Burmese,
Chaozhou, Croatian, Czech, Filipino, Hakka, Hausa, Hindi, Hungarian,
Indonesian, Khmer, Lao, Malaysian[sic], Nepali, Pashto, Persian, Polish,
Portuguese, Romanian, Serbian, Sinhala, Swahili, Tamil, Thai, Turkish, Urdu.
Even the least of which have multi-times more speakers than Esp`o; partly
attributable to being widely dispersed rather than concentrated in one country
or region, with (only) four distinct target areas, not including Pacific, N
America, Mideast or Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Aug 21, in the ChiCom noon-hour:
16980, JBA at 0448
16100, JBA at 0448, even weaker than 16980; none lower
Before 1300, incomplete search:
7970, fair at 1253
10300, poor at 1253-1300*, mixing with Chinese talk, SOH: see TAIWAN
After 1300:
12270, very good at 1314
12980, fair at 1314
13920, very good at 1315; none in the 14s nor rechecked closer to 1330
15290, good at 1316
15430, poor at 1316 // 13920
15900, very good at 1318
16100, very good with flutter at 1318; weaker than 15900
16980, very poor at 1318
Before 1400:
16980, poor at 1354
16100, fair at 1353
15900, very good at 1354
15525, good at 1356
15515, good at 1356; unusual two 10 kHz apart
15280, poor at 1356; none in the 14`s
13920, very good at 1352
12980, very poor at 1358
12270, good at 1358
12025, very poor at 1358, under CNR1 jamming
10300, fair at 1358
Before 1500:
15770, very good at 1455
14700, fair at 1455
12500, fair at 1457
10300, good at 1458
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 13680, checking whether RHC would still turn it off earlier than 13780
on a Sunday: Aug 21 still on at 1352 but off at 1427 while 13780 continued; but
not needed for 13750 with `Al? Presidente` still absent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 17608-17632, Aug 20 at 2025, OTH radar pulses, presumed from here,
fortunately not blasting any broadcasters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDIA. 11670, Aug 20 at 2200, AIR GOS ID in English, poor, but a beneficiary
of the vanished Venezuela service via Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** LIBYA. 17725, still absent Aug 21 at 1453 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TATARSTAN [non]. 15110, Aug 21 at 0450 songs, 0452 break for announcements
in presumed Tatar, not Russian; 0455-0500 more songs, good signal but fluttery.
0500 music stops, then hear CRI theme music and Chinese ID as transmitters have
transitioned.
Until 0500 it`s Tatarstan Wave, 250 kW, 60 degrees via Samara, RUSSIA; after
0500 it`s CRI Mandarin, 100 kW, 174 degrees via Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN, per
HFCC and EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 11670, turning on radio last tuned to INDIA [q.v.] at 2200, Aug
20 at 0441 there is American English, very poor signal with flutter. HFCC shows
VOA is here via BOTSWANA at 04-07, switching from 350 to 10 degrees at 0500.
Usually monitoring after 0500, had not run across it before (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17461.0, Aug 21 at 1321, S9+12 steady open carrier; still at 1354
but now peaking only to S9+8. Just AM, no hidden RTTY or anything else with BFO
onswitched (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN. 10300, Aug 21 at 1257, Firedrake mixing with Chinese talk; FD off at
1300* revealing what must be Sound of Hope, but very poor signal. Ron Howard
says SOH typically has very long monologues lacking IDs on he hour; that helps
distinguish it from CNR1 jamming with its super-hype, commercials, and music
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
In my haste to finish up before 1600, omitted this log (gh)
