** BANGLADESH. 15505, Oct 10 at *1358 very poor carrier weaker than VOR 15510;
1358.5 the BB IS starts, timesignal ends 9.5 seconds before 1400, usual theme
and opening Urdu. I am surprised to be getting this trans-polar signal at all
as little else is audible on 19m except Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake October 10:
7445, detectable at 1406 under the CCCCCCI against RTI. Before 1400 around
1352, NO FD found 12-18 MHz, nor did I expect any under current degraded
propagation conditions (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUIANA FRENCH. Re TDF spurblobs plus/minus 116 kHz from 9490 during Radio
Rep?blica relay: First time I have looked for these since original report Oct
7: 0135 UT Oct 10, 9374 and 9606 are still there, altho not as strong as the
first time. But may be due to weaker fundamental at the moment too (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526, Oct 10 at 1245 and more chex past 1400, still no sign of
even a carrier from V. of Indonesia. There was however a weak spurblob around
9522, probably from RHC 9540. I`ve been in contact with VOI about their
problem. They needed a replacement modulator tube, and were going to start
testing at 0700 UT today. So be on the lookout for them. Also on alternate
frequencies 11785, 15150 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. 7245, still no signal from IGIM, Oct 10 at 0458 check. Theo
Donnelly, BC, wonders, ``why are you so challenged by Mauritania not being on
air before 0600 UT if they haven't been on-air all night? Their traditional
sked is either 0600/0630 opening anyway.``
Challenged? I wouldn`t call it that. I am simply observing their
irregularities. But for me to hear them they need to be on before 0630,
preferably before 0600. Need someone like you to note whether they are really
on the air then, as they could be completely off again.
And now we have just such info, from Carlos Gon?alves, Portugal: ``MAURIT?NIA,
7245, R. Mauritanie, Nouakchott, ausente no per?odo 4~8/10, nos hor?rios
observados`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1010, Oct 10 at 0602 UT, ID amid QRM extracted ``Chihuahua``,
``XETO``, I thought, but must have been this, Cant?:
1010 XELO Exa FM + FM 100.9 Chihuahua, Chih. 5,000 500
And then played NA. XELO of course was the call on CiJz 800 before it became
XEROK in deference to cross-border influence, and I don`t mean the 38th
parallel (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1030, Oct 10 at 0600 UT, enjoying the respite from KCTA`s hummy open
carrier, mainly hearing KTWO Wyoming, but also a Mexican NA. Per Cant? there
are two stations in the UT-6 zone where this would be playing at local midnight:
1030 XEYC Radio F?rmula Cd. Ju?rez, Chih. 5,000 500
1030 XEMPM Exa FM + FM 98.9 Los Mochis, Sin. 10,000 1,000
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 960, UT Wed Oct 10 at 0500, KGWA Enid continues modulating; soon I
will have two weeks of observations and maybe establish any pattern of which
days on, which days off.
1020, KOKP Perry was also revived from previous dead air, so goodbye, KDKA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1340, Oct 10 at 1305 UT, promo for `The Rush`, weekdays at 2-6 pm
on ``1340 The Game``. NRC DX News has listed hundreds of AM stations which have
never been reported to Domestic DX Digests, including KGHM in Oklahoma City, or
rather officially now, Midwest City. This one is easy here, on daytime
groundwave, but now it`s late enough, a semihour past sunrise, to overcome the
graveyard. Was it never reported either under previous identities KOCY, KEBC,
etc.?
Other unreported Okies on their list will not be so easy, and I`m not sure all
of them are currently even on the air: KBEL-1240, KTLQ-1350, KMUS-1380,
KALV-1430, KBIX-1490, KMAD-1550, KKUZ-1560, KTAT-1570.
Except KALV 1430 Alva, which I can also hear on groundwave, altho it`s tough
with its null toward Tulsa, and helps to venture a bit north, south, or west
from Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 7320, Oct 10 at 0457, R. Rossii, good signal despite degraded
hi-latitude propagation otherwise, especially from eastward. 0459 ID and
timesignal three sesquiseconds late after 0500. Aoki says 100 kW, 45 degrees
from Magadan. This is // 5940, but at this early hour, no good there,
especially with WWCR on 5935 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH AFRICA [and non]. 7285, Oct 10 at 0459, Sonder Grense audible now, but
notable by their absence were 7275 Tunisia, 7295 Algeria via France, (and of
course Mauritania 7245). Possibly they were all off the air, but apparently
only lower-latitude paths making it from eastward. Above 10 MHz was dead, and
nothing but Costa Rica 9630 on 31 m. WWV reported:
``Solar-terrestrial indices for 09 October follow.
Solar flux 106 and estimated planetary A-index 42.
The estimated planetary K-index at 0600 UTC on 10 October was 2.
Space weather for the past 24 hours has been minor.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level occurred.
Radio blackouts reaching the R1 level occurred.
No space weather storms are predicted for the next 24 hours``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [non]. 11880, Oct 10 at 1247, REE COSTA RICA relay still Basqueless,
just Castilian. At 1250 it`s a feature about Radio Espa?a Independiente, the
anti-Franco, pro-Communist ``Estaci?n Pirenaica`` clandestine via Romania,
which closed down after 8,300 programs on 14 July 1977 as democracy was being
established in Spain. Included clips and/or interviews afterwards with those
involved. Apparently one of those 5-minute fillers REE inserts when scheduled
programming is missing, stopped at 1255 but mentioning `Amigos de la Onda
Corta` where this probably aired originally, altho not in the voice of Antonio
Buitrago; on to a song to fill out the hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 680, Oct 10 at 1320 UT, Tom Jones(?) song, segu? to ``Slow Hand``
C&W, how suggestive; loops NNE/SSW, and the groundwave primary here is KFEQ St.
Joe MO, but a talker so can`t be this, instead the source of a growing slight
SAH. As suspected, the music station is KKYX as IDed with a San Antonio traffic
report at 1323; on non-direxional 50 kW day pattern, but it still needs some
skywave to get this far this well (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 770, Oct 10 at 1314 UT I am standing by for KKOB to pop onto
non-direxional day pattern, and so it does 3 seconds before 1315, official
local sunrise in October. Amid talk about ``beautiful day for mass ascension``,
info about park & ride locations for the Balloon Fiesta which lasts until
October 14 (seems a week later than usual); from Newsradio 770, KKOB,
Albuquerque. Weak but steady signal. How many people will be killed this year,
and will the KKOB tower in the North Valley near the Fiesta survive without an
impact? Parking elsewhere and riding a bus is certainly recommended, as one
year my car in the BF site lot was almost hit by a balloon basket landing
off-course (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1030, Oct 10 at 0559 UT check, finally no open carrier with hum from
the south, so has KCTA 50 kW daytimer Corpus Christi finally fixed it, since
first heard Sept 30? Audibized KTWO:
1030, Oct 10 at 0559, YL with weather forecast, IDs as KTWO and K-2 radio, into
Fox ``news``. From Casper WY. Also could hear a weak Mexican NA under, q.v.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1060, Oct 10 at 1330 UT, ``Colorado area traffic``, mentioning I-25,
Parker, then promo high school football on ``1060 The Biz``, i.e. KRCN
Longmont, which is now 50 kW non-direxional during daytime. NRC AM Log does not
mention this slogan per se, but certainly BIZ as the format (except during
stupid ballgames, apparently). RCN stands for Radio Colorado Network, but
they`ll be all set if ever sold to Radio Cadena Nacional (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1090, Oct 10 around 0507 UT, sure sounds like Roy Masters, the
British-accented anti-feminist advisor. Haven`t heard him, or of him in years;
in fact last in DXLD for March 22, 2008 when he was on KOKC 1520. Now it`s
presumably KAAY Little Rock AR --- Yes, on their comprehensive schedule for
Wednesday midnight at http://www.1090kaay.com/programschedule.asp
as `Adviceline``, and also matches Brother Scare heard but hurriedly avoided at
0605 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1160, Oct 10 at 0608 UT, KSL Salt Lake City UT, Jim Bohannon opening
this hour with guest Cary Funk from Pew Research, about the ever-growing
numbers of non-believers. This is similar to Jimbo`s website introduxion altho
he ad-libbed here and there:
``The United States was founded as a haven for religious freedom. Anyone can
choose to worship as they please, or, alternately, not worship at all. Most
Americans consider religion to be a significant part of their lives. However,
the number of people who claim no specific religious affiliation is now at the
highest level ever recorded. That's according to a new study by the Pew Forum
on Religion & Public Life, which says the percentage of people who say they are
"nothing in particular," agnostic, or atheist has skyrockets from eight percent
in 1990 to just under 20 percent today. And the rise has been very balanced:
there is little variance based on income, education level, or ethnicity. The
unmarried do tend more to unaffiliation than the married, as do Westerners more
than Southerners. In addition, for the first time, the number of Americans
identifying themselves as 'Protestant' dropped below the 50 percent mark, to 48
percent. We'll discuss the
study's findings with two distinguished guests: Cary Funk of the Pew Forum on
Religion & Public Life, and Religious Studies Professor Vivian-Lee Nyitray of
the University of California at Riverside.``
This segment starts 39:42 into the compressed 2-hour audio archive, which
contains three hours of programming, minus all the breaks and commercials, just

And all this aired on the #1 LDS station, KSL
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1260, Oct 10 at 1332 UT, long series of siren sound effects, with
urgent speech by YL in Spanish; seems NNE/SSW, 1335 TC for 8:35 and temp as 34;
1337 ``La Mexicana`` and mentions Kansas City (I think), but no such station
near KC KS or MO. The only two SS known around here on 1260 are KDLF in Boone
IA which fits for the DF unless it`s skewed, but listed as ``La Reina``; and
KBHC in Nashville AR, listed as ``La M?s Mexicana`` in the NRC AM Log 2012-2013.
NWS for Boone IA shows temp at 8:35 today was 37, but it had been 34 during the
previous hour:
http://w1.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KBNW.html
while it was 60-61 degrees near Nashville AR. Ergo presumed: KDLF
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1450, Oct 10 at 1307 UT, KO-KO Weather Center, forecast for
Warrensburg, refers to UCM, apparently some sports institution. Missouri
graveyarder atop the mess at the moment, a semihour after LSR (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Checked 9526 and 9680.050 channels today at 10 to 14 UT, but heard nothing
from Jakarta Cimanggis Indonesia.
Only RTI Taiwan and some jammers from China mainland on 9680 kHz heard from
