** AUSTRALIA. 9580, July 7 at 1415, RA with classical music, but it`s just a
Mahler clip amid quiz as this is his birthday. Rest of questions are about
religion, so must be ``The Inquisition`` segment of the great ABC show `Sunday
Nights`. We used to hear the quiz an hour or two earlier. Now the RA online
schedule shows SN at 12-14 and also at 14-16, so is the second bihour a repeat
of the first, and if so, why? Isn`t there more original programming available?
As for 9580, it used to cut off rudely at 1358, but now is scheduled until
1500, per Aoki, and also resuming same 70 degree beam at 1700 when it`s not
useful in mid-day North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BOLIVIA. 6135-, July 7 at 0058, R. Santa Cruz, good signal with music
stingers and swooshes amid news items, mentioning the word ``aparecida`` which
could be confusing since there is a Brasilian by that name also listed on 6135,
but this was certainly in Spanish. [Omitted this bit before my previous log
item after 0100 of IDs and sign off] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 6135, July 7 at 1222, music from CNR1 is one of the best signals left
on 49m, // weaker 6105, and 6180. Aoki shows 6135 as a CNR1 jammer at 10-15,
but no known target, so could it really be a new non-jammer? You`ve got a PR
problem when such questions arise about your station. 6105 and 6180 are jamming
Taiwan. Similar music on 6165, but that is apparently CNR6 if not VOV4, surely
not Myanmar as Ron Howard has pointed out.
Non-Firedrake CNR1 jammer survey July 7 on higher bands before 1430:
16160, fair at 1425; none in the 17s, 14s, 12s
16100, good at 1425
15565, poor at 1420 [vs Voice of Tibet, Tajikistan 15568, inaudible]
15525, very poor at 1424 [vs Voice of Tibet, Madagascar, inaudible]
13970, poor-fair at 1422 // 15565 [this and the 16s surely vs Sound of Hope,
Taiwan, all inaudible] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6060, July 7 at 0527, Cuban jazz as I tune across, cut off the air by
0528, then found other RHC English frequencies also gone: 6010 and 6165, while
6125 is still on but JBM. Power failure? At 0530, all come back on, but with
6125 still JBM.
11860 et al., Sunday July 7 at 1230 expecting `Cuba Campesina` criolla music
from RHC, but keeps talking in `As? es mi Tierra` interview about Hait?,
running late. 1238 CC finally starts. Are there other times for it? Consulting
http://www.radiohc.cu/de-interes/programacion.html
we see that the nominal time is 1233, with no other entries! However, it may
well be included in the 21-23 UT `Revista Iberoamericana` for which no content
details are ever published.
13780, 11860 and 11760, July 7 at 1412 are all in open carrier/dead air while
RHC Spanish continues on 15340 and all the weaker frequencies, 11750, 11690,
9540. Next check at 1421 they have all resumed modulation. What about 16m? No
propagation except for a very weak 17630 signal in English, i.e. CRI via Urumqi
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY. 15785, Hamburger Lokalradio tests scheduled Sunday July 7 with 1 kW
from G?hren: hardly expected to pick it up in deep North America, especially
with pitiful propagation conditions, but try anyway since it`s including WORLD
OF RADIO. Hope it`s better heard closer to Europe. Yes, absolutely nothing
audible at 1409, 1428 or 1458. Even full-power stations from Europe on 19m are
inaudible, such as Greece 15630/15650; only signals are weak ones from Asia and
Cuba.
Next chance is 1800-2000 on 15785-CUSB, including WOR at 1830.
In the British DX Club, Alan Pennington confirms the test was running and
audible at 0745 amid WOR 1675 (instead of latest 1676):
``Fair clear reception of Hamburger Lokalradio on 15785 kHz this morning on
just my Sony 7600GR portable with telescopic here in Lancashire. Tune-in at
0745 UT with Glenn Hauser's World of Radio No. 1675. English ID of test
requesting reports at 0759 with addresses, then programme in German about North
Korea(?). Slow fading with good strong peaks, so SINPO 35433. Alan Pennington,
Longton, Preston``.
The first test block had been planned for 06-08 UT last week, when tech
problems intervened, but now moved one hour later to 07-09, in order to avoid
CRI, Xi`an on 15785 until 0657; thus WOR also an hour later than anticipated,
at 0730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9680, July 7 at 1417, RRI fair with music, Indonesian
announcements, and NO CCI from the China radio war for a change! Nice to hear
RRI by itself. Taiwan and Chicom jamming continue until 1700/1705 per Aoki but
must be propped out today due to higher latitude path? Or is that one of the
frequency/sites Taiwan is tearing down? Aoki shows ``Tamsui District``, which
no doubt has two or three other identities depending on the source. Both VOI
and China have enough signals on 9526/9525 only to produce a very weak het
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1676 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-1, 5830, from
0400.5 UT Sunday July 7. VG signal but some overmodulation / distortion. Next:
Sunday 1830 test on 15785-CUSB from HLR, Germany [q.v.]; Sunday 2330v on
WTWW-2, 9930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15150, July 7 at 0429, 0449, 0458, 0513, no sign of the
continuous 1 kHz tone test heard the previous three nights during this hour;
nor 17690. Propagation degraded, but Australia was still OK on 15160 before
0500. Wolfgang B?schel heard no tone on 15150 either, but on 15400 at 0521 July
7, covering Dabanga/Madagascar and thinx that may be Kamalabad, Iran testing
prior to their 1300 UT broadcast on same frequency. For propagational reasons,
I doubt 15150 was from Iran (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOLIVIA. 4958.0, July 8 at 0058, JBA carrier, still suspecting R. Tr?pico,
Trinidad, as reported reactivated yesterday. Thomas Nilsson, Sweden, SW
Bulletin was also checking for this July 7 at 0005 and found a carrier with
sidebands but no audio on 4957.98, also exactly same frequency July 5 and 6
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BOLIVIA. 5952.44, July 8 at 0044, Pio Doce is off; 6155-, Fides is inaudible
vs noise level, maybe off; while 6135-, Santa Cruz is on but weaker than usual
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 4915, July 8 at 0040, Portuguese, poor signal but better than others
on 60m, vs CODAR here, presumed R. Daqui not signed off yet. Nothing audible on
// 11835v. 4915 played music across hourtop past 0101 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 17720, July 7 at 2020, open carrier/dead air from RHC, stronger than
Spain 17715 (with 16m mostly vacant, why are any signals adjacent??). RHC is
supposed to be in Portuguese during this semihour, and on 17720 from 1930 to
2300 (not -0300 as in Aoki).
I was not checking RHC after that, but maybe lots more dead air today? Dave
Marthouse says 6000 was unmodulated at 0000, and both 6000 and 6165 were still
unmodulated at 0300. I started listening at 0315, still dead air on both, but
6000 came up with music in English service at 0332, and 6165 then too (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 9658-9683, July 8 at 0050 and still at 0106, strong OTH radar pulses
in the middle of the 31m SWBC band! Mainly tearing up VOR English 9665 (and its
Brazilian het), while Serbia 9685 is strong enough and aside enough to escape
it. Cyprus is just a guess for these typical 25-kHz wide messes. Then there is
more noise, DRM from COSTA RICA 9630 extending out to 9605-9655 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY. 15785, Sunday July 7 at 1808, one more check for the 1 kW Hamburger
Lokalradio test, but no signal at all audible. The 100 kW Greek on 15650 is
very poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, July 8 at 0045, JBA carrier from R. Chaski in splash and noise
level, but still sufficient to clock the cutoff at 0104:40.5* which is 5.5
seconds later than yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1676 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-2, 9930, Sunday
July 7 at precisely timed start of 2328:43. Next: Tuesday 1100 on WRMI 9955;
Wednesday 0630 & 1430 on HLR 7265-CUSB (Glen Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, Sunday July 7 at 1720, KVOH is testing again for two hours
from 1700. Just noted that it`s on, not fully checked until 1805, when signal
is VG, slightly better than VOA GB 17895 which fades from peaks while KVOH does
not. Same test material as 8 days ago, Spanish and English requests for
reports, bits of gospel programming. Propagation is closer to normal this time.
I check for spurs around 17920v as with the old KVOH, but none heard despite
very strong fundamental and good modulation. I was getting some distorted blob
around 17925-17935 but could not match modulation to 17775: could be local FM
breaking thru which is a problem on the DX-398.
Besides VOA, the only other signals on 16m are much, much weaker, 17715 Spain,
and 17850 France (in French so not REE/CR which is also still registered!)
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9445, July 8 at 0043 nor after 0100 no distorted blob here unlike
24 hours earlier. And the 9490 Cuban jammer is not bleeding much either (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Hi, I heard Radio Daqui this morning (July 8 after 0300) on 4915kHz, exactly
4915.02 playing their usual musica sertaneja with many IDs. The strongest
Brazilian station in the 60mb also here in the middle of Europe. (Is not it
possible to listen to this station in Oklahoma at around 0300...0400? The whole
America is in darkness at that time).
