HI Manuel.
Could you send the following message to mailing list?
Hi.
REE (Radio Exterior de Espana) has very strong emission around 10:00-11:00
UTC but it seems to me had splatters up and down.
Checked with more receivers, similar results.
Radio Romania Int., same time but on 15.380 kHz with similar signal (S
9-30dB) has no splatters at all.
Anyone checked?

Karel,
I fondly recall that the former Czechoslovakia operated station OMA from the CZ
Academy of Sciences on a couple of alleged "standard" channels, but also highly
mutant/non-standard 3170 kHz for many years (which was widely heard worldwide).
This, along with the former DDR's Nauen STFS station on highly
mutant/non-standard 4525 kHz, provided phenomenal listening pleasure for me in
the late 1970's (sometimes I would keep either tuned in to for hours at a time
just to take in the gratitude of the glorious seconds sounders), to the point
that these were sufficient enough to retain my interest in DXing to this day.

** CHINA. Firedrake August 28, first in the ChiCom noon hour:
17170, poor at 0426
16100, very poor at 0426; no others 12-19 MHz
Before 1300:
7970, poor at 1239
10300, good at 1242
12120, very good at 1248 mixed with constant RTTY on 12120, unusual spot for FD
15555, poor at 1252, vs het 15552
No others 13-18 MHz by 1255
After 1300:
15280, poor at 1324, het 15278
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. DentroCuban Jamming Command grinding on 9565 at 1312 Aug 28, between
Australia 9560 and China via Cuba 9570; 9565 jamming totally unnecessary at
this hour. See also USA: Greenville report (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Sunrise DX August 28, UT:
650, at 1159 Aug 28, Mexican history item, 1200 ID as ``Radio 65 FM``, then
mentions 106.5 FM y 650 AM. How convenient: Cant? shows:
106.5 XHTNT Radio 65 + AM 650 Los Mochis, Sin. [no power on FM; new?]
650 XETNT Radio 65 + FM 106.5 Los Mochis, Sin. 5,000 1,000
We seem to have a pipeline from Los Mochis this morning as well as several
previous sunrises:
770, at 1201 Aug 28, `Los 40 Principales`` full ID with XEREV, i.e.:
770 XEREV Los 40 Principales + FM 104.3 Los Mochis, Sin. 5,000 100
BTW, KKOB 770 NM nondirexional day pattern starts in Aug at *1230 UT, Sept
*1245, Oct *1315
870, at 1202 Aug 28 choral NA, 1203 mentions ``en esta hermosa Sierra
Tarahumara`` then into indigenous language, from XETAR, Chihuahua.
920, at 1204 Aug 28, ID as R. Capital, Hermosillo, i.e. per Cant?:
920 XEHQ Radio Capital Hermosillo, Son. 5,000 1,000
990, at 1214 ID as Radio M?xico 990 AM, ``todo M?xico``. Radio M?xico is the
name of a group, not a particular station. Here`s their own listing:
http://www.gradiomex.com/default.asp?pid=15992
But nothing on 990. Info there is ? 2009, so quite possibly outdated. Thru
Cant? state-by-state listings for 990s in western M?xico I don`t find any
matches. (Before 1200 I was getting a strong 990 with temp in C, presumed XET
Monterrey 50 kW). ``Radio M?xico`` possibly just a generic mention as heard
here, not a corporate name, altho the Group should assert its exclusive right
to say it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 15720, UT Sunday Aug 28 at 0455, caught the tail of what sounds
like an excellent documentary from the USA, outro as `The Promised Land`, 0457
cut off credit to ``American ---``, likely followed by ``Public Media``, for
QSY announcement to 11725, bellbird and off.
It was a relay of RNZ National, listed as: ``4:07 The Sunday Feature: The
Promised Land, with Majora Carter --- Decades ago, in response to an oil spill
off the coast of California, John Francis made a vow to give up riding in motor
vehicles, and stepped out on a walk. And he kept on walking for the next 22
years (APM)``
Can`t find much about TPL on the APM website, but also heard program`s own site
as http://www.thepromisedland.org ---

** SUDAN [and non]. Checking R. Dabanga Aug 28: 0431 on 13620, only hearing the
1000 Hz tone jamming, then 0431:45 Dabanga audio via MADAGASCAR comes up, down
and up again. Meanwhile, the other Talata frequency during the first semihour,
13730 is continually modulating with frequent IDs in passing, no jamming (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1579 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW 5755, UT Sunday Aug
28 after 0400, VG signal. Besides WRMI and WRN, next airing is UT Monday 0300v
via Area 51 on WBCQ 5110v-CUSB. Full schedule including many other webcasts:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. IBB Greenville-B is still off the air 24 hours after last heard,
altho Irene should be well out of the area by now: Aug 28 at 1229, VOA Spanish
missing from 9885, 13750 and 15590; R. Mart? 6030, 7405 and 9805 produced
jamming only. At 1302, jamming only on 11845, ditto 1318 on 13820. Besides RM,
only other scheduled broadcasts from GB today Sunday are 17-18 Portuguese on
17820, 20-21 French on 15730.
At 1700 Aug 28: 17820 still silent, and nothing but jamming (DentroCubans
aren`t taking any chances) on RM frequencies 13820, 11930, 9565. I fear there
is more wrong at GB than just resetting the circuit breaker (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WEWN back to normal on three transmitters and three frequencies at
once with usual defects, Aug 28:
0412, VG in Spanish on 5810
0434, poor in Spanish on 11870, // much stronger 5810
0435, poor in English on 11520
1238, very good in Spanish on 7555, mass
1243, poor on 12050, mass with organ
1245, very good on 13580, mass in English
1256, very good on 11550, Regina C?li pr?lude
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA: WINB
** U S A. 13570, Aug 28 at 1320, gospel music from WINB blasted by
squishy/squeaky 13571v spur from WEWN 13580, with more of them audible around
13562, 13589, 13598. This happens only on Sundays when WINB is currently active
in the mornings, until WEWN QSYs to 15610 by 1400. Christians vs Christians!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Following up yesterday`s report of `La Super X` on 1160 being KCTO in
the Kansas City market, so what is 1250, which had used that slogan? Aug 28 at
1217, 1250 IDs merely as ``La Equis, 12-50, la s?per estaci?n`` by super-hype
locutor, denigrating the unnamed competition as ``ruido`` = noise. Ad for a
``gran baile`` 4 de Setiembre featuring a musical group from Chihuahua, which
could send one way off on the wrong track. Then ad in Spanish mentioning
multiple locations in Kansas City area, pronounced by YL/child as in English.
1160 was also audible but 1250 much stronger. So 1250 is merely La X, and 1160
is La Super X; are they jointly owned, since the Super X slogan transferred
from 1250 to 1160? No, FCC AM Query shows 1160 KCTO is owned by Alpine
Broadcasting Corp.; 1250 KYYS by Entercom, so must be bitter rivals fighting
over that valuable X branding! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1510v, Aug 28 at 0440, slightly variable het. This is commonly heard
around sunrise and sunset but not in the nightmiddle, previously tracked months
ago to KCTE Independence MO. We also noted the het 23 hours earlier but did not
log it; Bruce Winkelman in Tulsa did, measured on 1509.83 with IDs all night
every hour on the hour, ESPN programming. Listed as 10 kW daytimer-only. On
NRC-AM, Bruce says, ``Tulsa is almost "dead-center" in the SW lobe of KCTE
directional pattern. Bad het against WLAC and others on 1510.00. Daytimer on
all night and off-frequency to boot --- anybody home??`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6924.7 AM, Aug 28 at 0418 weak music from some pirate, and this
off-frequency is often the spot, single transmitter? Compared it to a weak
carrier from a non-pirate on 5925, presumably 5925.0, registered as Lampertheim
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6925.0 SSB, Aug 28 at 1234, loop of ``who let the dog out?`` and
barking, weak in noise level. Seems I have heard this before on a pirate, but
can`t find it previously reported. Matched a carrier on 5925 from a non-pirate,
so on-frequency unlike the 6924.7 AM unID earlier. At this hour 5925 would be
CNR Beijing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Thanks, Chris. How are 15/20 MHz by you?
Never had them not be hearable before. Went through about 40 minutes of
rig/antenna checking before I asked too.

My loop antenna is series-tuned, and it won't go up that high. I
designed it to accomodate 5-14 MHz. I plan on making a second one to cover
9-21 MHz.

I've had that happen here on occasions, especially when there's a

Right you are. Probably flux and propagation. Hurricane Irene just
blew through town (literally) here in PA and is pretty much a bust.
Nothing to do but DX, and this whole thing just caught me unprepared.
Thanks again!
