** BOLIVIA. 5952.4+, July 6 at 0056, Radio Pio Doce is certainly back after
missing 24 hours earlier: music vs Cuban jamming against nothing on the hi side
centred on 5955; 0056 Spanish announcement sounds like a commercial rather than
anything pious. At 0102 unseems Spanish so Aymara or Quechua? 0105, back to
Spanish discussion mentioning gobierno and municipios.
Wolfgang B?schel, Stuttgart, Germany, was monitoring this a few minutes
earlier: ``footprint 5952.440 kHz in MUMBLED Spanish, much weaker speaker than
Cuban or Mexican Spanish locutors pronunciation, in peaks S=8-9 at 0035 UT July
6``
Art Delibert, Vineyard Haven, Mass. reported at 0007 UT July 6: ``Glenn -- FYI,
I'm listening to Pio Doce now on 5952.44, with talk and music. So they are on
the air. Signal level is good, but much of their audio seems a bit garbled.``
They agree on the exact frequency.
At 0102 I also checked the other CPs on 49m: 6155- R. Fides audible poorly,
hard-to-copy Spanish; 6135- R. Santa Cruz best signal but worst
overmodulation/distortion yet I`ve heard from them, during 0114 song (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 4915, July 6 at 0105, R. Daqui is gone again, no signal here, but
lots of weak carriers on other 60m ZY frequencies. Wolfgang B?schel, Germany
agrees the 4915 channel was empty at 0020 & 0115 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake July 6:
13795, good at 1243 well atop talk CCI from IBB Tibetan via Kuwait
7365, good at 1336 with flutter atop CCI, IBB Chinese via Thailand
Search for CNR1 jammers 12-18 MHz unproductive circa 1245 and 1340 July 6.
Propagation is much degraded with normally VG 15775 VOA Korean JBA, 15575 KBS
inaudible, little else on 19m and nothing on 16m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** HAWAII [and non?]. 15000, July 6 at 1159, WWVH with full ID, badly marred by
continuous big noise resembling OTH radar, but bandwidth is no wider than WWVH
itself, and does not seem to fade independently, so QRM, or self-generated? No
signal from WWV here, and no such noise on 10000 or 5000. Recheck 15000 at
1245, WWVH is now in clear for propagation minute (R1 blackouts likely), but as
often happens, there are spurious tones at the tail of the prop announcement!
Is NIST, of all agencies, falling apart? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 15720, July 5 at 0452, RNZI is on with good signal, unlike
absence 24 hours earlier; and DRM noise also audible on 17670-17675-17680
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 15120, July 6 at 0612, VON is on with English news going from
African to other parts, fair signal. There was no sign of it an hour earlier
tho the broadcast supposedly starts circa 0445 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 89.3, July 6 at 0058 UT, the unID classical Es station having
outfaded, I hear the new KIEL Loyal with net ID as ``Twenty-four hours a day,
Radio Seven Four International``. See previous report about this Radio 74
network (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 92.1, July 6 at 0110 UT, KAMG-LP Enid has once again lapsed into
dead air; at least there are no clix, and no stereo pilot either. It`s really
incredible to me why anyone would want to have a radio station, and yet not
make sure it operates properly. Back to praise music in Spanish at next check
1545 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 95.1, July 6 at 0058 UT while DXing WRNS in NC, I unavoidably hear
KQCV Shawnee/OKC, with Bott Network promo for TWR soliciting kilobuck
contributions in order to send 10,000 radios to China so that the Gospel can be
heard!! Is there a shortage of SW radios in China? Guess where they are
manufactured? Nor is a myriad of radios even a drop in the sinogigabucket. But
a sucker is born again every minute (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, July 6 at 0057, R. Chaski carrier among the 5990 CRI/Cuba
splash, but the cutoff is now well beyond likely overrun time for that:
0104:31* which is 11.5 seconds later than two days before, altho I was
expecting only 10.5; variable? Wolfgang B?schel was hearing this in Germany at
0045, 6-7 Hz above 5980. And Claudio Galaz in Chile noted that the 0103-0104
feature on July 3 (and probably every day) from the relayed Red Radio
Integridad was the Spanish version of `Creation Moments`, which I consider
despicably anti-Science. I`m glad the signal is never good enough here to
listen to the content (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9330-CUSB, July 6 at 0510, no signal detectable from WBCQ, possibly
propped out, but still no signal at 1239 when it should be audible if on (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1676 monitoring: confirmed on Area 51 via
WBCQ webcast starting on time at 0130 UT Saturday July 6 after some music fill,
as AWWW must have run shorter than usual; and also JBA on 5110v around 0150.
Next: Sat 1730 on WRN via WRMI 9955; Sat 2329v on WTWW-2 9930 (or Sun 0000 on
5085 like last week?); Sun 0400.5 on WTWW-1 5830; Sun 2330v on WTWW-2 9930.
Also could appear any day, any time between 17 and 24 on 9930, 00-01 on 5085.
Sun 0630, 1030, 1430, 1830 tests planned via Hamburger Lokalradio, G?hren,
Germany, 1 kW on 15785-CUSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. KVOH QSL received in p-mail July 5 for e-mail report to Ray Robinson
of the June 29 test on 17775. Obverse has full color atlas map of Americas in
skewed projexion with three concentric uncalibrated coverage patterns toward
Mexico, Caribbean, S America. Full data on reverse, and boxes available to
check reasons for not verifying report --- but one must get the card anyway to
say so. Mine is checked as ``able to verify`` for 6-29-2013 on 17775 at
1902-2043. Here it is:

http://www.w4uvh.net/kvoh2.jpg
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 95.1, July 6 at 0053 UT, searching for something besides unID
classical on 89.3 once the Es MUF pokes into the FM band, there are three
stations here mixing, rap, gospel and C&W, one too many for OK and KS. Luckily,
at 0054 ID by YL DJ as ``Your Country 95.1, WRNS``. Tho I have the call,
searching slogan on WTFDA FM db goes right to this 100/100 kW in Kinston NC.
See also OKLAHOMA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15150, July 6 at 0519, 1 kHz tone for the third night in a row.
This time there are no Mideast signals on 19m, hi-latitudes outblacked, just
much stronger ones from Australia, with Rwanda 15275 and Madagascar 15400 also
in sufficiently. Comparing, the 15150 signal is most similar to 15400.
At 0522 I find a duplicate 1 kHz tone JBA on 17690, likely same unknown site
testing; only other sigs on 16m and only slightly better than 17690, are
Australia 17750, Saipan 17855, and some JBA music on 17490, scheduled as IBB
Udorn in Tibetan, ergo just as likely to be a Chicom jammer.
On two radios I monitor both 15150 and 17690 whether they cut off at same time
0529 like 15150 did last night: No, 15150 now stays until 0531* (and still no
sign of Iran scheduled from 0530), while 17690 tone is still JBA when I quit a
couple minutes later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 89.3, July 6 at 0031 UT, classical music in stereo, Beethoven`s
Eighth, atop new semi-local KIEL; obviously sporadic E opening going for some
hours has finally reached this far west and this far up in MUF. Searching
classical format on the WTFDA db for this frequency finds plenty, but since I
later get NC on 95.1, how about this state? WTEB New Bern might be, except
checking their own schedule, not classical during the evenings. Maybe WSCI
Charleston SC or some other neighboring state. I see that this week`s San
Francisco Symphony release from WFMT network includes Beethoven`s Seventh, not
close enough (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOLIVIA. 4957.9, July 7 at 0109, weak carrier, no modulation audible. Could
this be R. Tr?pico, which Miguel Castellino in Argentina reported to condiglist
as 4959, reactivated a few hours earlier at 2203 UT July 6? At 2325, Ernesto
Paulero also in Argentina said it was coming and going with a few words, then
only a carrier.
I was checking 4959 first at 0049 but found nothing there except pulse jamming,
stray from Cuba? q. v., at least between 4959 and 4965, while there was a
stronger station on 4955, presumably Amauta, Per?. Jamming was like that heard
on 5890, 5955, etc., where it is just as uncalled-for.
LA SW Logs, still available, but not updated since Feb 2012,
http://www.mcdxt.it/LASWLOGS.html
shows it on 4958v, closer to my reading, which I did not know until looked up
later; so it may have been gone for six years:
4958v BOL RDif Tr?pico, Trinidad [1755/2224] Jul07 A ex4552 see6037.6
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BOLIVIA. 5952, UT Sunday July 7 at 0058, Radio Pio Doce is gone again, maybe
just earlier variable sign off like other Bolivians (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** BOLIVIA. 6135-, UT Sunday July 7 at 0101, R. Santa Cruz with usual good
signal and full ID for ``960 kHz onda media, 6,135 kHz onda corta, y 92.3 MHz
frecuencia modulada, transmitiendo desde Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia``. A
few notes at 0102, jingle/IS? Then into sign-off message with same and even
more detail. Sure wish I could have been recording. ``Emisora del Instituto
Radiof?nico F? y Alegr?a``; partial street address for ``oficinas en Mario
Flores, esquina ---``. Then a quena/guitar song, but not allowed to complete,
cut off in mid-word at 0105:43 and carrier off a few seconds later*. Modulation
really strong, but not distorting much this time, altho there were a few IADs
(intermittent audio dropouts). Closing time varies a lot; maybe this is normal
for Saturday night.
6155-, July 7 at 0059, music weakly audible from presumed Radio Fides, but
can`t copy anything definite and too much temptation to tune other frequencies;
maybe one of these nights I will hear an ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 4915, July 7 at 0046, R. Daqui is off again, altho others were
hearing it earlier in the hour, as well as // 11835.698. That must be off too,
as all I can detect against strong 11840 RHC is a JBA carrier on 11835.0. R.
Daqui is listed on 11830, but Jorge Freitas also heard them several days ago
around 11835. Next time 4915 is in well, it would be nice to copy a full ID
with all the frequencies announced. As usual, numerous ZY-frequency carriers
were audible at this time on 60m above and below 4915, most of them slightly
off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Fidel`s filthy pulse jammers continue to mess up our SW bands, with
Arnie`s approval; it`s bad enough when they target real stations trying to get
the truth thru the sugarcane curtain --- even worse when they are allowed to
run against long abandoned frequencies and bleed out away from those. July 7
between 0055 and 0110 as I am trying to tune legitimate DX stations, irregular
pulse jamming of variable strengths interferes on 4959-4965, 5890 (heavy
against ex-VOA Spanish which even when it existed was not on at this hour),
5955 against no Radio Rep?blica --- but even even worse on the 9 MHz band
bleeding out from heavy multiple pulse jamming vs R. Rep?blica via France on
9490: at 0114 I could hear the pulses all the way out to 9430 and 9525 at
least, the latter QRMing Romania with classical music. Axually more pulses on
the low side of 9565, another jammed frequency. As for Rep?blica on 9490 at
00-02, it`s hard to tell they are even there any
more and sometimes I doubt that they are; in springtime that could hold its
own or even overcome the jamming here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
See also UNIDENTIFIED 9445
** GUAM. 13362-USB, July 7 at 0120, very poor signal but can tell it`s a YL in
Amerenglish, i.e. AFN, and nothing from LTA on LSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OMAN. 9760, July 7 at 0117, fair signal with ME music. Figured it would be
R. Farda, until HFCC reminded me: ``9760 0000 0200 28,39N THU 100 315 0 218
1234567 310313 271013 D 13650 Arb OMA RSO RSO 10180`` -- that is, R. Sultanate
of Oman, which despite the dates on this entry, only recently started
broadcasting new frequency at these hours (just in time for Ramadan?) (Farda is
on 9760 but not until 0230, via Germany) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, July 7 at 0050, R. Chaski is in with enough strength to tell it
is talking; after chasing lots of others, back to here at 0104 in time to time
cutoff as 0104:35*, which is only 4 seconds later than yesterday, but averaging
5.17 seconds per night later compared to 0104:19.5* on July 4 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1676 monitoring: confirmed this Saturday back to usual
time, instead of half an hour later after frequency change: i.e. from 2330:27
July 6 on WTWW-2 9930, and finished in time for 2359+ QSY announcement to 5085
and 9930 off by 0000. Next: 0400.5 UT Sunday July 7 on WTWW-1 5830; Sunday
2330v on 9930.
And the Hamburger Lokalradio tests Sunday at 06-08, 10-12, 14-16, 18-20 on
15785-CUSB are to include WOR at 0630, 1030, 1430, 1830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. In case you haven`t heard, Ray Robinson of KVOH notifies us that
there will be another test transmission Sunday July 7 on 17775, this time at
1700-1900 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9445, July 7 at 0115 while checking out the dirty Cuban jamspur
range, I find an extremely distorted blob here. It might be the center of a
jammer, except there is nothing scheduled here, but there are traces of program
modulation in it, so more likely a spur or extremely mistuned transmitter.
Found nothing else like it on the 9 MHz band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

KVOH - Voice of Hope, Los Angeles, would like to thank all those who responded
to last Saturday's test broadcast. ?It was unfortunate that the time chosen for
the test happened to coincide with a geomagnetic storm, but in spite of that,
reports have so far been received from 13 U.S. states, as well as from Canada,
Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina and Indonesia.
The station will be testing again tomorrow, Sunday 7th, from 1700-1900 UTC
(1-3pm Eastern). ?As before, the frequency is 17775 kHz, with 50kW on a beam of
100 degrees (towards Cuba). ?The same test program will be used as last week,
with announcements in English and Spanish, which hopefully will be easier to
copy since?atmospheric conditions are better this weekend.? Reports will be
very much appreciated to either [email protected] or P.O. Box 102, Los Angeles, CA
90078. ?If reporting by email, please attach a short mp3 recording of your
reception if possible. ?If reporting by mail and requesting a QSL, please
enclose return postage. ?In all reports, please be sure to describe your
receiver and antenna used. ?Reception comparisons using handheld portable
radios with telescopic antennas (outdoors) will be especially helpful.
KVOH currently expects to be able to launch a preliminary 2-hour daily schedule
around the end of this month (July), and will build from there.

Re your 1000 Hertz tone tests at 0449 UT
Re "...so I doubt it's Iran ..."
IRAN/MADAGASCAR Noted such test tone on 15400 kHz at 0521 UT July 7 today.
Covered R Dabanga in Sudanese-Arabic from Talata Volondry MDG til 0526 UT,
then test tone had disappeared. I guess the engineers at Kamalabad Iran test
their transmitter / antenna / feedline for further services the day around
1300-1527 UT towards South Asia. Test tone signal on S=9+20dB level. No test
tones observed here on 15150 kHz today so far.
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews July 7)
SAUDI ARABIA 15170 Annoying BSKSA HQ prayer bad signal of S=9+20dB
performed via a disturbed TX unit from at Riyadh this morning.
Noted at 0518 UT July 7 disturbed signal in broadband range spurious
splatter on 15160 to 15180 kHz wide range.
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews July 7)
CYPRUS {tentat.} British army OTHR from Limassol splattered wide range
sound multi signals on 15117 to 15141 kHz range, S=9+20dB at 0526 UT.
IRAN 15150 Nice clean signal of IRIB's Arabic service from Zahedan
appeared early around 0527 UT July 7, scheduled 0530-1427 UT. After a tip in
dxld about annoying distorted signals broadband some 80 kHz wide, I
complaint directly at the IRIB technical dept. at Tehran via e-mail some
months ago. They promised immediatelly to send engineers from Tehran to
Zahedan and therefore to repair the TX unit legally accordingly.

Re CHINA. Firedrake...
After very long absence, I heard two FIREDRAKE signals last night, when
checked remote SDR unit in donwunder Pacific.
CHINA {mainland jamming} 17560 The first FIREDRAKE music jammer - since
months - heard here today July 7 at 0015 UT. Noted against VoA Mandarin
service from Tinang-PHL. Jammer at S=9+20dB level in downunder remote SDR
unit. Similar strength level like regular CRI Beijing 500 kW unit on 17495
kHz at 00-01 UT.
15385 VOA Chinese from Tinang-PHL was disturbed by multi echo talk jamming
of CNR1 type at 0032 UT July, S=8-9 signal in Australia, ... and UNDERNEATH
additionally heard a weaker FIREDRAKE music jammer.
15565 VOA Mandarin sce via UdornThani-THA covered by CNR1 multi echo
'spoken word' jamming only, at 0038 UT S=8 in Brisbane.
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews July 7)
AUSTRALIA/IRAN 12080 Very bad mixture of RA Brandon 2000-1100 UT outlet
with co-channel IRIB's Arabic sce from Zahedan of 500 kW scheduled 1630-0527
UT, both S=9+5dB on equal level in Brisbane remote post. ... at same time
11860 to 11950 kHz was totally free frequency range ...
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews July 7)
Noted also some nice long path range signals across the Pacific:
SPAIN 15160 REE in Sp from Noblejas, scheduled at 242 degr, noted at 0023
UT July 7. Performed a telephone interview program. Long range path across
Colombia, Easter Island on southern Pacific into NZL/AUS remote unit posts
from the south. S=8 more than fair signal !

surprisingly in dowunder Pacific at 0000-0100 UT slot.

PAKISTAN 15485 Not so bad signal heard tonight from Islamabad on the
remote SDR unit in Australia downunder. R PAK Urdu was early on air, noted
at 0031 UT July 7 - scheduled on 15490 kHz ! from 0045 UT, S=7 fair level,
drums + local singer noted on powerful and somewhat cleaner modulation
quality. I guess the moved 5 kHz down - always suppose my notes drawing is

CHINA. 15170, July 5 at 0530 I am hearing fluttery Chinese instead of
Arabic from Saudi Arabia as earlier. Aoki shows BSKSA at 03-06 collides with
CRI in Chinese at 04-06, first hour via Kashi-Saibagh 2022 site in Mandarin,
this hour in Cantonese via Jinhua Youbu 831 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

UNIDENTIFIED. 15150, July 5 at 0449, the 1 kHz continuous tone test is back
24 hours after last heard. It`s a good steady signal, lite fading, quite
unlike 15170 Saudi and 15110 Tatarstan non, both poor with flutter, so I
doubt it`s Iran. This time I stay awake until 0530 to hear what happen when
Iran is supposed to start this frequency in Arabic. Tone and carrier cut off
just in time at 0529, but nothing further audible. If these keep up, would
those with direxional antennas or other means of locating source please try
to do so! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
