** BRAZIL [and non]. 6180, June 17 at 0434, no RNA tonight tho it`s VG on
11780; instead just something in English, no doubt DW RWANDA (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA [and non]. 6080, June 17 at 0517, CRI English via Sackville on wrong
frequency again, instead of 6190 this hour; did not change from 6080 which is
the right frequency before 0500. As a result, huge collision with NHK Warudo
Radio Jap?n in Spanish via BONAIRE which is properly on 6080 during this
semihour. Both signals very strong here. (NHK English via Canada remained on
6110 correctly.) 0525 R. Jap?n acknowledging reception reports including from
someone in EE. UU. Will word ever get back to them about these periodic
screwups by Sackville?
Apparently, Sackville, or Montr?al if remotely controlled from there, are
increasingly in a don`t-give-a-damn attitude as they are about to self-destruct
and lose their jobs. One would have hoped they could have remained professional
to the very end, especially since such mistakes impact innocent bystanders
(also their own relay clients).
Despite all this, we must brace ourselves from June 25 for a lot of vacant
spaces on the bands where we used to hear loud and clear relays via Sackville
of China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and others. We know of one client which plans
to switch to another site, but what about all of these? Do they have any such
plans, or are they just going to let their NAm audiences go? China will still
have Cuba, Spain and Albania, of course, even if they make no substitutes for
Sackville. Cuba should be willing to help out Vietnam. Japan and Korea could
use Bonaire lasting a little longer (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake, June 17 after 0400:
14400, very poor at 0422
16100, very poor at 0423; no others found 11-19 MHz during quite disturbed
propagation
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [non]. 6080, UT Sunday June 17 at 0531, CRI English via Sackville on
wrong frequency instead of 6190, just cleared as NHK Spanish via Bonaire has
just signed 6080 off at 0530. CRI starts `The World According to Words`
program, explaining English neologisms, starting with ``gap-year``, i.e. taking
a year off between high school and college, an idea which has not caught on in
China (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also CANADA
** CUBA. 12060, June 17 at 0421, DentroCuban Jamming Command, at least two
pulsers unsynchronized on 2 x 6030 where many, many, more pile up for a wall of
noise against Radio Mart?. Also pulses fundamentally jamming nothing at 0425 on
11930, 9490, 7365, 5980. At 0426, pulse jamming also on 9955 WRMI, but South
Asian accent in English more or less readable, presumably in WaveScan (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 13855, June 17 at 0037 hum and something JBM; 13620, buzz like an
airplane propeller, much louder and higher-pitched than 13855. These two are
the OSOB! in strange propagation conditions, obviously both R. Cairo as
scheduled per HFCC:
13855 2330 0200 10,11 ABS 250 286 218 1234567 250312 281012 D Ara, Spa
13620 0045 0200 13,15 ABS 250 241 218 1234567 250312 281012 D Spa
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, June 16 at 2045, R. Kuwait with Arabic talk about Mubarak,
and // 17550 which is slightly weaker and flutterier. Once again, RK has
switched without notice from English to Arabic on 15540. (We are fortunate that
it`s in English most of the time 1800-2100, since they insist on registering
this block as Arabic anyway, and imagining in their announcements that English
is still on 11990, abandoned years ago.)
But guess what, at 2050, 15540 cuts back to English for the few-minute
scheduled news headlines, but at 2054 it`s back to Arabic // 17550 until off
around 2100*. Possible scenario: news is done live and for some reason the
other English programming was unavailable, or control operator simply had
brought up the wrong pot with Arabic instead of English programming elsewhen
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LEBANON [non]. 11715, June 17 at 0425 very poor in Arabic, no doubt Vatican
Radio`s own program as scheduled; 0428 VR IS; 0430 ``hunting call`` fanfare,
``Huna ---`` ID, presumably Sawt al-Mahabba relay, as also scheduled, but I
have a hard time making out the full ID. Nothing on 9645 at this time. 11715
had faded out a few minutes later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 13775, June 17 at 0438, V. of Russia on its sole English frequency
to NAm, DJ talking about keeping warm on the -50C Arctic by ``doing it, if you
know what I mean``, and then a song to that effect (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** THAILAND. 15275, June 17 at 0034, R. Thailand with news in English,
surprisingly good now on N American service. I`m not often monitoring around
this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TUNISIA [and non]. 7275, June 17 at 0432, IWT mostly music serves as BFO for
some ham, probably American in LSB on exactly same frequency. This is a risky
tactic, as a 500 kW broadcast transmitter could easily overpower a ham at one
thousandth that much, but I guess it was working for the station he was
contacting, as he went on and on about physical therapy and some medical
procedure. This seldom happens with IWT usually unimpeded (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1621 monitoring: June 17 after 0400, confirmed on
5755, WTWW. On WRMI 9955: confirmed Sunday at 1545 amid webcast, nothing but a
JBA carrier on unjammed 9955; further repeats: Sunday 1730, Monday 0500, 1130.
On HLR 5980 Germany: Tuesday 0930. On SiriusXM 120: Sunday 1730 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Peru, 4955.087, Radio Cultura Amauta, presumed, 0040-0100 At tune in all
that was audible in the noise was soft
music. At 0046 a person (probably a female?) talks for a minute or two.
Music continues afterwards. Signal was
poor during the period. (Chuck Bolland, June 18, 2012)
