** AUSTRALIA. 9580, July 24 at 1259, RA very good with promo for `Download This
Show` about guilt-free online shopping if it benefit some charity. No time
given, so is it download-only, not on the air? I have to hunt thru each day`s
RA Pacific program schedule until I find it: Sat 0030, Mon 1330. It`s really
from ABC Radio National where it is scheduled (in local times I assume), Sun
9:30 pm, Thu 2:30 pm, not bothering to present the different RA times (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11780, July 24 at 0502, RNA is overmodulated, distorted, producing
rough sidebands, and // 6180 is not much better at 0510. RNA was recently
reported to have installed ``new equipment to improve the sound quality``. I`m
afraid it it`s quite the contrary. Listeners inside Brazil keep complaining
they can`t hear one frequency or the other or at least not well. This is, after
all, intended for the sparsely populated Amazon region, where one or the other
should propagate well depending on the time of day, and they carry on well
USward, 6180 only at night and 11780 best at night, into the dayedges (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake July 24, circa 1230:
11785, at 1233 I think FD may be in the jamming mix of CNR1 vs VOA Chinese via
Thailand, but others too weak to make a //; maybe not
12320, poor at 1227 with flutter
15435, very poor at 1229 with flutter
15900, very poor at 1230 with flutter
16100, JBA at 1230
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 9305, July 24 at 0507, how is R. Cairo general service doing tonight?
Humbuzz over some bits of presumably Arabic modulation, totally unreadable but
an improvement over nothing but wideband buzz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, July 24 at 1305, usual very weak carrier from VOI hetting
something on 9530, no reception possible, but since I am ready to turn on the
computer and it`s Tuesday, I bring up VOI stream at:
http://en.voi.co.id/streaming/voi-streaming-a.php
Played OK with few hiccups, but no `Exotic Indonesia` connexion to RRI
Banjarmasin this week, just the usual string of regular features from Jakarta,
including an ID with the three imaginary frequencies, 11785, 15150 and 9525, by
the clueless announcer (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, fair signal July 23 at 2049, R. Kuwait interrupts the pop
music to ask for reception reports to the Frequency Department, but could not
copy postal address. Someone might tell them they have not been on 11990 for
years, and this frequency is in English, not Arabic as they keep registering
it? Back to a bit more music before 2050-2053 News In Brief. Reverse of usual
situation, song at 2053 is easier to understand, ``I Wanna Be a Billionaire So
Frickin` [sic] bad``. Well, at least the Emir is, no doubt. As always, whatever
music is playing gets interrupted at 2058 for sign-off announcements. It never
times out right, which requires planning, back-timing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12105, July 23 at 2046 check, WTWW-3 is off, while neighbor 12160
WWCR is inbooming. Next check 0458 July 24, just before usual cutoff at 0500,
no 12105 either, so off all day? 1500 has been the nominal sign-on time lately,
I think, but still missing at 1501 July 24, while WWCR is again audible on
12160. Whatever happen with WTWW-3 and WTWW-2 transmitters, WTWW-1 is almost
always on, 9479/5755; at 1502 SFAW was referencing something from 2001y, as a
lot of their 24/7 stuff is archival following death more than a year ago of
Pastor Pete Peters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. July 24 at 0506, WTJC is hymning [not a word redlined by MS Word
spellcheck, and I don`t recall adding it] way off frequency with fair signal at
best. Seldom anything to het from 9370, I had not noticed it was further off
9370- than usual until Wolfgang B?schel measured it on ``9367.722 at 0455 UT
July 23, and later on at 0540 UT noted on lower 9367.713 kHz``.
At 1225 I check it out on my approximate het-vs-keyboard method. With YB-400
BFO set on 9368.0 I get a C-sharp above middle C; on 9367.0 I get a hi
F-natural, i.e. 277 and 699 Hz, so splitting the difference that would put WTJC
on 9367.71, close enough. This is way outside the legal FCC tolerance of .0015%
which at 9370 would give them a far-too-generous range of only plus/minus
140.55 Hz. It`s always something at WTJC --- at least no spurs at the moment,
but also undermodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Re my previous item: ``15430, July 23 at 1401, open carrier off
at 1401:15*. HFCC, Aoki and EiBi have nothing scheduled here between 12 and 15
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)``
Ron Howard found a reference to 15430 in DXLD 11-38, when on Sept 15 at 1350,
Wolfgang B?schel heard a buzzy Firedrake jammer against V. of Tibet which had
outwitted them, really on 15537. That likely explains it: if I had tuned in two
minutes earlier probably would have heard Firedrake (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

This experimental WebSDR at PA3FWM's home, covering 0 to 19 MHz,
has been taken offline, as announced a few days in advance.
There are several reasons for this:
* The nearby system at the University of Twente is finally available
again, at http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901.
* The antenna at the university seems to be much better, judging by
the number of users there and here over the last few days.
* Running this system occupied equipment that I would rather use for
other things (such
as further development of the hard- and software).
* I continuously needed to be careful about possible thunderstorms and
disconnect the antenna in time.
* I never intended to run such a system permanently from my home anyway;
I only did so because of the antenna problems at the university site.
For now, the frequency range of the system at the university site is limited
to 8 bands of 600 kHz each.
However, it is planned to change it to general coverage of the HF spectrum
in the future, like this site used to have.
Thanks everyone for using the test system over the past year or so!
