Ivo,

As detected on the 25mb, and discussed at length in DXLD, surely these 8-kHz 
spurs are NOT from RFA, but from the ChiCom jamming against RFA. Did you get 
any audio to match either?

73, Glenn

** ALGERIA [non]. 7295, Oct 1 at 0527, Arabic talk and music alternating, maybe 
Qur`an included, with flutter, past 0530 where there is normally no such 
signal. Also on very poor // 9535. That clinches it as the Issoudun, FRANCE TDF 
relay of TDA, which has been registered for the entire A-12 season during this 
hour as: 500 kW, 194 degrees on 7295, 162 degrees on 9535. EXCEPT: it is 
normally wooden. 7295 still on at 0544.

7295 was last heard on March 25, first day of new season, as I reported in DXLD 
12-13: ``Looks like the reactivation of RTA relay via Issoudun, FRANCE, heard 
at the beginning of A-12, was only a pro-forma test to remind us it`s possible: 
missing from 7295, 24 hours later at 0524 March 26`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD 
OF RADIO 1610, DX LISTENING DIGEST)``  

And Rumen Pankov, Bulgaria, also heard it only on March 25, no report by anyone 
since. Perhaps they turn it on only on the first day of each month if even 
that; I`ll bet it`s gone again October 2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 15340, Oct 1 at 1243, HCJB in Burmese is the SSOB, 
presumably long-path, unhindered, even enhanced by the hi-latitude propagation 
disturbance. K index at 03 UT of 7 had declined to only 2 by 12 UT; G3 level 
was reached. But Kununurra is still no match for RHC CCI after 1300 (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BANGLADESH. 15105, Oct 1 before 1300 and after 1315, nothing audible from 
BB, and hardly expected with degraded propagation.

15505, however, is on at 1359 with big hum and whine. I amuse myself by 
following it, hoping for the Urdu service to get underway.
1359:48 noise on and off, hum rises steadily, no IS or TS around 1400
1401:36 resume hum and whine
1402:42 noise for a second and back to humwhine
1407:47 quiet pause, resume humwhine at 1407:52
1409:22 hear a few words, Urdu?
1414 still open carrier, 1415 hum
Apparently weakest-link syndrome, i.e. studio to transmitter
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 6180, Oct 1 at 0520, RNA is still missing here but OK on 11780. I 
wonder if rather than totally off, it`s mistuned with a blob elsewhere on 49m? 
Have not noticed one; if any, Brazilians will (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** CANADA. 990, Oct 1 at 0505 UT, CBW Manitoba with ``The Sunday Edition, Round 
Midnight``, part 2 of a special about Glenn Gould. Sufficient reception at 
first, but I bail out due to DXing priorities, planning to hear it later on 
demand:
http://www.cbc.ca/thesundayedition/
But no! Streaming of the entire TSE program is now available only within Canada 
due to music copyright issues! Well, CBW is invading American airspace on 990; 
how is that really any different? They should put up a wall (or null to protect 
us from them). On second thought, please don`t (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** CHAD. 6165, Oct 1 at 0521 YL in French, surely RNT, atop much weaker signal, 
maybe ZAMBIA? 0542 news about Syrie. Fair signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 1, before 1300, not a thoro search:
12230, poor at 1240 with flutter
12320, poor at 1240 with flutter

Before 1400:
12980, fair at 1357; none in the 13s, 14s
15570, poor at 1352, het on lo side; none in the 16s
15620, very poor at 1352, het on lo side; unusual to be above WEWN
17560, open carrier at 1355, probably V. of Tibet, Madagascar warming up before 
1400, as ChiCom jamming will surely hit it too
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COLOMBIA. 14950+, Oct 1 at 0546, screaming preacher in Spanish, poor signal 
from Salem Stereo, but obviously not affected, or even enhanced by K index of 7 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CROATIA [non]. 7375, Oct 1 at 0403, Croatian Radio has very poor signal via 
GERMANY; normally one of the bigsigs from Europe, it`s almost wiped out by a 
K-index of 7, along with many others severely degraded (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 17705, Oct 1 at 0356, RHC is the OSOB with VG signal; just before 
0400*. Aoki says this is at 130 degrees toward Brasil. Also audible on 15230. 
The K-index at 0300 was 7, so expecting some abnormal propagation.

6017 approx., Oct 1 at 0405, pulse jamming centered about here against nothing, 
presumably spur from the wall of noise on 6030 against nothing, since it`s the 
6-hour weekly silent period of R. Mart?. For months now, the DentroCuban 
Jamming Command has continued without letup during this former truce and DX 
window; also on 7405, 9805 against nothing. No matching spur 13 kHz above 6030 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA: WOR/WRMI

** EGYPT. 15710, Oct 1 at 1331, open carrier, still at 1350. Presumably R. 
Cairo as usual, totally failing to modulate its Indonesian service at 
1230-1400, 250 kW, 106 degrees from Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUIANA FRENCH. 11995, Oct 1 at 0359, the open carrier with hum is running 
yet again. And still at 0535, steady southerly signal as K=7 degraded 
comparative Turkey 11980 to JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** HAWAII. 15000, Oct 1 at 0545, WWVH propagation by a real hu-man, with SF = 
136, K at 03 = 7, as I already knew from WWV e-mail. Strong storms, G2 level 
both past and future. Yet on MW, conditions were not severely ``auroral`` at 
all, with KSTP, CBW coming in fine; and the auroral oval was still mostly north 
of the border; but hi-latitude SW paths were very attenuated or fluttered 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MAURITANIA. 7245, Oct 1 0544, still no show from IGIM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 600, Oct 1 at 0607 UT, WMT IA is unusually strong with local weather 
after some news, so I try to null it, and do hear a M&W chat show starting, 
``hasta las 5 de la madrugada``. Since I get it OK in the WMT null, it may not 
be very far west. Of the nine XEs on 600, per Cant? the two most likely here 
are:
600 XEDN Wow + FM 101.1  Torre?n, Coah.  1,000 1,000
600 XEMN La Regiomontana Monterrey, N.L. 1,000   500
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 660, Oct 1 at 0428 UT, a couple of mentions of ``aqu? en Tampico`` 
amid the QRM, perhaps a preacher, so I am led to conclude instead of the DF or 
NL stations, this is per Cant?:
660 XEAR La Mexicana + FM 101.7 Tampico, Tamps. 5,000 1,000
Also later heard an FM ID ending in .7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 660, Oct 1 at 0557 UT, Chihuahua anthem, 0558 different music, 
jingle. The only Chih on 660 is per Cant?:
660 XEACB La Lupe + FM 98.9 Cd. Delicias, Chih. 3,000 1,000
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 760, Oct 1 at 0555 UT, choral NA is playing early, presumably 
headstart on local midnight and the only XE in the UT-6 zone per Cant? is:
760 XEES Antena + FM 102.5 Chihuahua, Chih. 10,000 1,000
It was from SW and could not null out WJR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 770, Oct 1 at 0459 UT, ending ``La Media Hora Estatal``, and ``once 
en punto`` timecheck. Per Cant? the only XE in the UT-6 zone is:
770 XEREV Los 40 Principales + FM 104.3 Los Mochis, Sin. 5,000 100
and it looped SW, but 100 watts? Unlikely. Considerable QRM and a bit later 
someone ran a 5-letter XH### FM ID. This was Sunday night, so would have 
carried mandatory `La Hora Nacional` at 0300-0400 UT live, apparently not 
delayed one hour if they followed it with the State Half Hour. Also: 770, Oct 1 
at 1229 UT, Sinaloa government PSA, surely XEREV too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 990, Oct 1 at 0613 UT, choral NA playing at odd time, from 
southwest, lost to QRM by conclusion at 0615. Assuming it`s a bit late after 
local midnight in the UT-6 zone, there are only two in Cant?:
990 XEHZ HZ La Pura Sabrosura + FM 105.5 La Paz, B.C.S. 1,000 250
990 XEER ER Est?reo Romance + FM 92.9 Cd. Cuauht?moc, Chih. 5,000 250
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6185, Oct 1 at 0520 and still at 0542, good open carrier totally in 
the clear with no 6180 Brazil; no doubt XEPPM failed to turn off the 
transmitter at 0500v. Too bad they did not also forget to turn off the 
modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MOROCCO [and non]. 9579.2 approx., Oct 1 at 0401, big het again caused by 
M?di Un off-frequency from 9575, but it`s too early for 9580 to be Africa No. 
Un, which starts at 0500, and the pitch is slightly lower than usual, somewhere 
between G5 and G#5, i.e. 784-830 Hz. What could the other station be now? Aoki 
shows 50 kW R. Riyadh via Jeddah, Saudi Arabia at 0300-0557 (and Lhasa). Jeddah 
has a reputation for operating off-frequency. I can`t make out any audio from 
either.

At 0525 back to usual het with Gabon, and only music modulation from the latter 
audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 48, Oct 1 at 1454 UT, KOCY-LP OKC is well visible tho snowy, with 
film, and bug in LR with 4 transparent lines of lettering I can`t quite make 
out, especially when the background is white, including: QUE / JALAD / ESTA and 
below that the Estrella star network logo with 5 points around a circle. On to 
some other video after 1500.

During dead conditions I don`t get any analog signal from this, so I keep 
checking it for tropo enhancement, knowing that one day it will be gone once 
their DT CP takes over on same channel, and will rarely be strong enough to 
decode. But not yet, still our best remaining NTSC signal. Checked all other 
VHF and UHF channels in analog, found signs of something only on 9, surely 
cable leakage as it was still same long after KOCY faded out (Glenn Hauser, OK, 
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PHILIPPINES. 15775, Oct 1 at 1351, open carrier/dead air with flutter as VOA 
Korean service via Tinang has lost modulation, still such after 1400. The // 
Tinang frequency, 7225 is normal, well modulated in Korean. Isn`t anyone paying 
attention? In this case it obviously can`t be a problem upstream from Tinang 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOMALILAND. 7120, Oct 1 at 0356 check, JBA carrier presumably R. Hargeisa, 
lots of CW QRhaM. We should still hear it well enough from *0330 on a good 
night. BTW, altho initially its evening broadcast was on the air earlier, Ron 
Howard observes that its sign-on is now around *1500, so except on the west 
coast we can continue to forget about hearing it by long path (Glenn Hauser, 
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH AFRICA. 9800, Oct 1 at 0524, fair signal from BaBcoCk music loop IS 
already playing prior to DW Portuguese relay via Meyerton from 0530, 100 kW, 
335 degrees. No brother-seeking here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [non]. 11880, Oct 1 at 1250, REE COSTA RICA relay is back on air, 
missing yesterday, and another Monday in Castilian, not Basque, so I am 
beginning to suspect BB always takes Mondays off, whatever the schedules may 
claim (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7506.4, Oct 1 at 0356, WRNO as usual with super signal strength but 
extremely suppressed modulation. Wiggle that patchcord? What a crock, it goes 
on and on like this (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. After 1900 UT Sept 30, the 28 MHz propagation map at
http://www.dxmaps.com/spots/map.php?Lan=E&Frec=28&ML=M&Map=NA&DXC=N&HF=N&GL=N

was a mass of blue F2 lines heading off toward Europe, and indeed 10m hamband 
was full of SSB signals (well, full only up to about 28.6 MHz), so I figured it 
was time to look for broadcast harmonics from Europe/ME/Africa. With the DX-398 
on the porch, which tunes only up to 29999, and its short random wire plugged 
in, I started stepping down by 5 kHz intervals with BFO looking for AM 
carriers, and soon found several.

29955 was best, with some audio I could make out as Arabic on peaks! In this 
range the fundamentals would most likely be making third harmonix from 9 MHz or 
fifth harmonix from below 6 MHz. This one worked out as a possible 3 x 9985. 
Then there was 29900 (5 x 5980?), 29175 (3 x 9725?), 28900 (5 x 5780?), 28320 
(3 x 9430?). During the following hour I found a few more suspects: 24700 (4 x 
6175?); 23190 (2 x 11595?); 29900 (2 x 14950? No, Colombia would be slightly 
above 29900; 4 x 7475?).

As 2000 UT approached, 29900 was producing some audio in Spanish; in fact two 
different audios. Oh, oh, this means unlikely harmonic but some kind of mixing 
product. 29955 was stronger at peaks. At 2000 I was listening carefully to this 
hoping for a timesignal or some sort of ID. I got one! It`s WTWW, in English, 
promoting its 10 languages. This too had a mix in Spanish, and then WTWW went 
into French.

So we have one factor in the sum, 12105. What`s 29955 minus 12105? 17850! Yes, 
the Spanish matches the superstrong REE relay in Costa Rica. And on 29900 it`s 
the sum of 17850 and: 12050, and yes, that too matched WEWN.

So all this was happening due to receiver overload. Any two or three such 
widely separated stations cannot possibly be mixing at a transmitter site. 
Another clue was the occasional surges in strength, as the overload surpassed 
some kind of internal threshold. I hope and suspect that if I had been 
monitoring on the main rig FRG-7 none of this would have happened. Truly 
transmitted harmonix 28+ MHz could still propagate. Just have to watch out for 
these diversions. Let this be a lesson (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1636 monitoring: 9955, WRMI, Oct 1 at 0522, this time 
holding our own against the pulse jamming from Arnie, managing R5 despite 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VIETNAM [non]. 6175, Oct 1 at 0519, VOV with neat gong music via CANADA, 
then Vietnamese lesson presented in English even tho this is the 
Vietnamese-language hour which English are not likely to be listening to. 
Tonight, Sackville has put it on the wrong frequency again instead of 9555; you 
never know which it will be (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1030, Oct 1 at 0442 UT, that strong open carrier with hum is 
running again, still past 0511. Strongly suspect KCTA, 50 kW daytimer in Corpus 
Christi TX, as loops N/S. It`s not a legal test if it is on before local 
midnight. October official SR/SS in CC per FCC are: 1230/2400 UT. I bet the 
carrier is staying on continuously after 0000. This non-direxional 50 kW signal 
is a huge insult and impediment to all the other 1030 stations on the continent 
operating on legal night parameters, e.g. XEQR, KTWO, KFAY, even WBZ? (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Here's a new DXpedition report from Aihkiniemi in the Finnish Lapland: 
http://www.dxing.info/dxpeditions/aih17rep.dx

Conditions for AM DXing were not ideal, so we ventured into uncharted 
territory, focusing on Iranian AM stations. A new 1000-meter-long 
Beverage wire to the right direction didn't hurt. And, with a total of 
13 1-kilometer-long wires, there's always something to listen to.

A DXpedition this early in the season allowed for many extracurricular 
activities, such as building antennas, hiking on the tundra, more 
generally enjoying the nature, and shooting the northern lights without 
freezing your toes off.

AIH18 will follow next weekend, and at 
http://www.dxing.info/community/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=2686 you can check 
out daily what's happening on the Arctic AM dial.

ECUADOR ? 4781.66, Radio Oriental, Tena, noting this one several times 
recently, most recently this morning 10/1 at 1100 shortly after sign-on (not 
there at earlier check), caught with YL live SS anmts in progress, canned ads 
and then some regional news briefs around 1104 with mtns of Costa Rica, 
Colombia and Honduras. ?Tentative ID at 1106 sounded like a quick ?Radio 
Oriental? f/by ad with musica ecuatoriana in background. ?Rather mushy 
modulation, fades in and out, and sig lost by 1108. ?First hrd on 9/18 at 
*1057, some kind of musical tuning signal first noted, followed by OM 
apparently in opening anmts at 1058, musical ad at 1100. ?Sig faded down fast 
and soon lost. ?Also heard at 2328 t/in on 9/28, eco ads, OM with apparent 
sports nx briefs in SS. ? Fading up to better level by 2340. ?Occasional RTTY 
bursts QRMing the fqy, also bad t-storm noise this date. ?Fun to hear a new 
one, for me, and tnx to Dave Valko for his recent 100% ID on
 this one. ?This should be much better heard in a few weeks, as the morning 60 
meter window into Western LA runs later into morning.(Perry ? Illinois)
COLOMBIA ? 5909.95, Alcarav?n Radio, Puerto Lleras, regularly heard with a 
reliably big signal. ?9/18 at 1040, very nice with arpa-backed romantic 
ballads. ?Usual musical time check at 1045, following pattern of first OM ID 
?Alcaravan Radio!? then time check and then YL providing yet another ID. 
?Continuing with romantic pleasant HJ guitar ballads. ?(Perry ? Illinois)

COSTA RICA ? 5954.28, Radio Republica, Guapiles, noted 0057 on 9/18 with Y YLs
