** CHINA. Firedrake April 11, before 1300:
13680, fair at 1246; none in the 12s, 14s
15435, poor with het on hi side at 1235-1236*. Then I found a het had just hit
Turkey 15450, from 15447, no doubt V. of Tibet, Tajikistan, jumping around, but
not yet followed by Firedrake
15900, JBA at 1235, but very good at 1249; I wonder what changed?
16100, poor at 1249
16200, JBA at 1249; none in the 17s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, April 10 at 2048, R. Africa is on with American
gospel huxter: sounds rather like ``Tony Al?mo``, whom others have reported
reactivated here despite serving 175 years in prison, convicted of child sexual
abuse, etc.; but I`m not sure it`s him at this time. Usual ACI from 15195 YFR
Ascension during this hour, worst during music. Rechecked shortly after 2100,
15190 was gone (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE [non]. 21690, April 10 at 2036, RFI is still running past A-12
registered 2000* via GUIANA FRENCH, with music; at 2100 into `Journal en
fran?ais facile`, starting with Syria, Santorum: clearly enunciated `easy
French` news, but not as slow as VOA`s Spe-cial Eng-lish. Maybe the vocabulary
is simplified too? Not sure, but I had little trouble following it.
Tnx to Harold Frodge who had been noticing this frequency on late. Last summer
A-11 they were registered and running until 2200. He has been hearing it until
2157*. After 2100 I found it started having some deep fades. Presumed still
this relay site for extension. He also heard nothing change at 2000 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 9850, April 11 at 0514, DW English via RWANDA, weaker than //
9800, the difference being that 9850 is 250 kW non-direxional, and 9800 is 250
kW at 295 degrees USward. 9850 also has a weak SAH [subaudible heterodyne =
regular fading caused by beat between slightly different frequencies] from CCI
[which means co-channel interference, i.e. almost the same frequency, while ACI
means adjacent channel QRM, 5 kHz away on SW].
HFCC shows also on 9850 at this time are the XIN site of CNR in Tibetan, and
the CK2 site of Vietnam, each 50 kW. HFCC key to site abbr`s, saved from last
July shows:
CK2 Xuanmai VTN 20N43 105E33 [why the number 2 in it? unusual]
XIN Xining CHN 36N38 101E36
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 6020, April 11 at 1330, cannot detect anything from Shiokaze under R.
Australia, its last known frequency jump; nothing on previously used 5910,
6010, 6135, but forgot to check 5985. Have they moved again? 6055 Nikkei was
poorly audible from nearby site. Other A-12 HFCC-registered alternatives for
`JIC` during this hour are 6120, 6175. 6010 is not registered now with HFCC.
Latest Aoki shows only 6020 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 17550, April 10 at 2037, ME music, fair with flutter, Arabic
announcement about Amerikiyah; 2109 still in news, with less flutter. This R.
Kuwait transmission continues to be missing from A-12 HFCC, but their HFCC info
is traditionally incomplete and inaccurate.
Missing also from EiBi, but Aoki has it: ``17550 R. KUWAIT 2000-2400 1234567
Arabic 500 350 Sulaibiyah KWT 04745E2910N MOI a12``
Which means it`s almost trans-polar aimed at W & C North America, and it was in
HFCC A-11 of a year ago April 8 showing those 6,7 CIRAFs:
``17550 2000 2400 6,7 KBD 500 350 0 216 1234567 270311 301011 D arabic KWT RKW
MOI 5866``
This certainly challenges the MUF over such a path, and is not always audible,
but on the average should become more reliable as solstice approaches. Compare
it to English on 15540 until 2100. As that was playing sign-off anthem, not //
17550, tho if 15540 stay on a bit longer, it might become (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN. 9735, April 11 at *1258, RTI cuts on with pop music, QRMing weaker
9740 BBC Singapore I was listening to; must have been tuned a bit to the lo
side, but still a problem center-tuning. 1259 to dead air, 1300 cut on
modulation of Japanese service, necessarily also USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 15580, April 10 at 2055, VOA `Afro Beat` is playing catchy tune
in French, ``Vive la R?publique Gabonaise``, ``vive la libert?, ?galit?,
fraternit?``. If I were tuned 6.000 MHz lower I would think I was hearing
Africa Num?ro Un. Was it their national day or something? This hour only is 250
kW, 305 degrees via MADAGASCAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 21710, April 11 at 0508, weak signal in Chinese with occasional
peaks; R. Free Asia is scheduled via TINIAN daily, but could be one of those
jumparound frequencies to other 13m channels in attempt to avoid ChiCom
jamming. Nice to see MUF peaking this hi in the nightmiddle as summer
approaches! WWV reported at 0518: SF 93, A 8, K at 03 was 2, no, no.
Similar and somewhat stronger programming on 17855, which is RFA Chinese via
SAIPAN, but not //, probably due to deliberate non-synchronization. Believe I
was really hearing RFA rather than jamming in these cases (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9372, April 11 at 1311, 18-kHz squishy spur from 9390 WEWN is
bothering 9370v WTJC, less than the stronger 9-kHz spur on 9381 is bothering
9385 WWRB. Also audible around 9399; 9408 vs China.
These spurs always accompanying the WEWN English transmitter, sometimes also
audible at 27 kHz or even further multiples of 9 kHz from center frequency,
(and similar on one of the two Spanish frequencies) are apparently caused by
failure to install a certain filter to eliminate them from their Continental
transmitters, a sorely needed retrofit affecting an AM/FM switch on a control
card (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 6903.5-USB, April 11 at 1315-1325+, Army MARS net discussing digital
modes and how to set them up on computers, such as RMS Express. Main speaker
and NCS is AAR6CQ, also with AAM6RE who had transmitter problems, his
modulation cutting up.
This is a Texas Army MARS net, and AAR6CQ is Tom Whiteside per
https://www.txarmymars.org/downloads/2011-TxEmergMgmtConf.pdf
a.k.a. N5TN, mentioned in this article about Hurricane Dolly:
http://www.eham.net/articles/19860
But N5TN is a typo, as that is someone in Missouri, and Tom`s real ham call is
N5TW, per ARRL lookup of FCC records, north of Austin:
WHITESIDE, TOMMY G, N5TW
228 WIND RIDGE COVE DR
GEORGETOWN, TX 78628
Previous call sign: AC5IB
Previous license class: Advanced

Texas Army MARS website search on AAM6RE leads to Ken Miller, a.k.a. AAR6TB,
Region Emergency Officer. One gets a lot more hits searching on that second
call, such as this:
https://www.txarmymars.org/news/news.php?id=138
concerning Collin Country, which is just north of Dallas near the KAIJ ruins.
The net schedule for 0801 CDT April 11 shows AAR6CQ as the Default NCS, and the
primary frequency designated as KEG (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Bolivia, 6134.815, Radio Santa Cruz, 0010-0101, Noted a male in Spanish
language
comments introducing music selections. Noted plenty of recorded promos as
the
music continues. At 0024 seems like a soccer game is in progress with at
least three
males doing the announcing. Believe one of the teams is Iquitos(?). Not
sure of the
correct spelling. At 0044 UTC, a goal is scored and the usual reaction is
heard
from one of the announcers. Canned short ID at 0050 UTC.I wonder if the
other team
playing, is Lima? I hear that name mentioned here and there? Signal was
fair
the entire period. When I pulled the plug the game was still going.

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, April 11 at 1853, R. Africa, with YL gospel
huxter, and CCI making a SAH --- likely Philippines which is also on 15190 at
1730-1930, but not usually audible here. Still the same at 1901. By next check
1953, guess who? Tony Al?mo! The arrested, tried, convicted and imprisoned for
175 years child molester. It`s been a while since we`ve heard him on SW,
dropped even by WWCR, but only once he was convicted. I believe he was still on
R. Africa when it went silent over a year ago. Other listeners have also been
reporting him again on this station at other times.
We remember his low-key ramblings, belying his monstrosity. Soon became clear
his talk was in the form of a prayer, mentioning residing in Valencia near Los
Angeles, and then his favorite subject, reminding Him that of course it`s wrong
to have sexual relations with children --- unless you marry them! So says the
Bible. Amens by some YL-sounding psychophants/wives.
1958 into a solo hymn, and holding its own against YFR/Ascension 15195 ACI from
just before *2000. At 2002 Alamo continues, unknown for how long as that was
all I could take, tho reception today unfortunately attained R5 completely
readable level. Presumably they dredge up old recordings to perpetuate him, not
dead yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUIANA FRENCH. 17875, April 11 at 2005, TDP DRM today is very strong, and I
can hear the DRM noise gradually diminishing out to 25, maybe 30 kHz above and
below, impeded only by AM from REE COSTA RICA 17850 which was still on (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 17550, April 11 at 1854-1904 I was getting a station here, see unID,
and SAH traces of another, despite none being listed; I was pre-checking for R.
Kuwait`s service which has been showing up on good days lately after 2000.
Still nothing then, but recheck at 2003, now it`s come on a bit late, inbooming
VG signal, better than English on 15540. Arabic talk sounds reflective, with
music background; could be devotional. Mentioned kitab = book, perhaps the only
book that matters. This is the 350-degree broadcast especially for us in C & W
North America. I wonder how many Kuwaitis around here know about it, let alone
Arabic-speaking American SWLs in general?
15540, by 1958, R. Kuwait English service (``Arabic`` per HFCC
mis-registrations), has improved to very good level with hard rap, as
appropriate for anyone speaking English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA [and non]. 15115-15120-15125, April 11 at 1852, VON DRM is already
running, but always off before 2000. From IBB monitoring, Ivo Ivanov says the
DRM switch from the analog English broadcast starting at 1800 is now at 1830.
Creeping DRM! See SPAIN for QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. Open AM carrier from REE Noblejas 15110 already on at 1852, soon to
be followed by their mind-numbing IS; at 1901 check during talk programming,
this is putting out a spur on about 15119.5, readable thru the QRDRM from
NIGERIA, q.v.! And at a 9.5 kHz multiple about 15129, matched on the low side
by 15100.5 and 15091 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1612: produced in time for first SW airing on WRMI
9955, UT Thursday April 12 at 0330; good luck vs jamming. WRMI repeats are Sat
0800, 1500, 1730, Sun 0800, 1530, 1730, Mon 0500, 1130.
Also: Thursday 2100 on WTWW 9479; UT Friday 0330v on WWRB 5050; UT Saturday
0100v-0135v start on WBCQ Area 51 5110v-CUSB/LSB; UT Sunday 0400 on WTWW 5755
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17550, April 11 at 1854, good signal with religious-sounding
guitar music (or was it harp?), 1856 talk in tonal African language, hum. Fast
SAH of approx. 12 Hz. Talk continued thru ToH 1900, tho there may have been an
edit, nothing resembling an ID and the only word recognized was at 1857,
``Geneva``.
Away from the computer noise on the porch, figured I`d uplook this easily later
and quit listening at 1904. Wrong. Let alone two stations, not even one is
listed on 17550 anywhere near 1900, before or after, in HFCC, EiBi or Aoki.
Next try at 1952, it was gone. Maybe the SAH had been from Kuwait, ahead of
their sign-on around 2000? Unlikely, considering how strong it was then, q.v.
