** BANGLADESH. 15105, Sept 26 at 1237 with flutter, BB music I was going to
rate as fair, but then English talk is tough to copy, demoted to poor.
15505, Sept 26 at 1358, BB IS, then resumed off-timesignal ending at 1359:46.5,
opening Urdu, poor signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CAMBODIA [non]. 13850, Sept 26 at 1233, once again nothing audible from RFA
Khmer, but by 1254 it`s a good signal, presumably via SRI LANKA (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 650, Sept 26 at 1158 UT, stuff about which MLB teams are ahead,
nothing about Canada, but then on curling in Saskatoon, which strongly makes me
suspect it`s CKOM: yes, outro as ``sports at :25 and :55 past the hours on the
CKOM Morning News``. Dominating the frequency instead of usual XETNT, and too
late for WSM or KIKK. But what about KGAB in between? 2005 NRC Pattern Book
shows CKOM nite pattern is supposed to throw everything northward, while day
pattern has only a minor lobe southward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake [non] CNR1 jammers, Sept 26 after 1230:
11840, good at 1245; don`t recall this spot before, but Aoki shows it is
jamming the All India Radio Chinese service at 1145-1315, inaudible
12910, good at 1236
13830, good at 1233
13920, good at 1233
14700, very good at 1236
15560, poor at 1239, het on hi side; none in 16s, 17s, 18s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also TIBET [non]
** CUBA. 11860, Sept 26 at 1244, is today`s missing RHC frequency. Probably
same transmitter down as missing from 6165 last night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 5765-USB, Sept 26 at 1144, 1232, AFN is still AWOL, as far as I can
tell (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, Sept 26 at 1248, VOI with song after song in English,
interspersed with Japanese announcements, as that`s the supposed language this
hour. Best heard in months, good modulation and good signal, tho with flutter!
1249 mentions website www.voi.co.id, having to pronounce that in English
letters; 1255 duet in English; 1256 another Japanese announcement about
website, another English song.
1300 sharp switch to axual English service intro, now as ``RRI World Service,
Voice of Indonesia, in Jakarta``, YL continues to proclaim three imaginary
frequencies, 9525, 15150, 11785; program summary; 1302 news by OM announcer
(Rahman?) whose accent unfortunately makes it hard to understand despite
improved reception. 1312 commentary; 1316 `Today in History` including 1983
false alarm of US missiles launching, detected by malfunxioning Soviet
satellite monitoring system, whew; 1996y algo; 1997 earthquake in Italy. 1321
`Focus` on Indonesia winning three gold medals in weightlifting somewhere, up
to 184 kg, also involving a woman heaver, not necessarily at that weight. Break
for breakfast, but recheck at 1358 now CRI Russian is on 9525 with pr?lude
making a big het (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 700, Sept 26 at 1200 UT, YL with lots of news items referring to the
``DF``, 1201 ``Noticias MVS``, Today in History segment with clips in English
of a poet, Olivia Newton-John with ``Xanadu``. Like my previous log April 25 at
1108 as in DXLD 13-18, I am still wondering which 700 station is taking this
network feed out of the DF. Obviously same one heard Sept 12 at 1201 UT with
history clips, as in DXLD 13-38, probably XEGD in Hidalgo del Parral, rather
than XEDKR in Guadalajara (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 710, Sept 26 at 1204 UT, ``iniciamos Noticiero Cuesti?n de
Minutos``, a rather odd name for a newscast, W&M anchors chat, weather for
Chihuahua, so as expected it`s just XEDP in Cuauht?moc, the usual dominator
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 760, Sept 26 at 0510 UT, preacher in Spanish, but sounds
almost sane, NE/SW and way over WJR with SAH from opposite direxion, gradually
fading back up. Unseems any US SS station, leaving it to Mexico. Chihuahua
would be the obvious choice, tho none listed as totally religious; recheck at
0527, I make out an ``Antena 760`` ID way under WJR mentioning Chihuahua, but
by then not necessarily same station, altho SAH seems the same. Cant?:
760 XEES Antena + FM 102.5 Chihuahua, Chih. 10,000 1,000
Meanwhile, WJR is on `Redeye Radio`, usual hateful anti-Obama rants; tnx a lot,
WBAP (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 970, Sept 26 at 1212 UT, choral NA at odd time, way under
gospel huxter in English, presumably KHVN Tulsa, atop XEJ Ju?rez which often
owns 970 here at night. Yet in the noroeste there`s another Chihuahuan, a
Sonoran and a Sinaloan I would prefer to hear (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1030, Sept 26 at 1228 UT, romantic music in Spanish, loops
east-west; 1229 ID but missed the critical parts: ``XE--, Mil 30 AM, Radio
---``. Probably this as in Cant?:
1030 XESDD Radio Romance Tijuana, B.C. 5,000 5,000
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [non]. 15573, Sept 26 at 1329, hearing a het between this and 15575;
the latter could be KBS World Radio, but 15573 is stronger, and a typical split
frequency for V. of Tibet via TAJIKISTAN, tho I can`t make out modulation on
either; meanwhile there is no carrier on 15570 where a CNR1 jammer might have
been, but more likely would be 2 instead of 3 kHz away, i.e. 15575 despite KBS.
Aoki currently shows VOT on 15573 at 1305-1340 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 5830, Sept 26 at 1144, WTWW-1 is in open carrier, dead air, not even
some hum, as lost feed from SFAW. Still OC at rechex: 1232; and even after QSY
to 9479 at 1313, 1326, 1357; but by 1404, PPP is finally remodulating. And the
other two WTWWs are also funxioning, on 12105 Arabible, 9930 BS (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 860, Sept 26 at 1227 UT, polka piece, so KKOW Pittsburg KS is still
playing a polka every morning; earlier I was hearing some news or weather from
KOAM, its ex-AM call, but now coming from the TV station of the same name
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1680, Sept 26 at 1219 UT, buy-gold ad, 1222 music, certainly KRJO
Monroe LA in new ``Country Legends`` format, but suffering from IADs several
times a minute, i.e. audio dropping out intermittently at certain modulation
peaks, both during the ads and music. But there`s a fast SAH from a second
station which attracts my attention; see UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. TP carrier search Sept 26 at 1148-1152 UT: JBA on 693, 774, 882,
1008 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1680, Sept 26 at 1219-1222 as I am monitoring KRJO LA breaking
up, there`s a fast SAH from a second station which attracts my attention as the
other 1680 X-banders are rather far from here: KGED Fresno CA, WPRR Ada MI,
KNTS Seattle WA, discounting at this hour the ones in FL and NJ.
Also could be a TIS/HAR such as WQEL629 with two transmitters near Santa Rosa
NM on I-40 as recently reconfirmed active by Harold Frodge. I think those were
left over long after some construxion work was completed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOLIVIA. 4717-, Sept 27 at 0049, lively music from Yura on the air this late
tonight, poor signal but better than most from S America on 60m (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BOLIVIA. 5952.4, Sept 27 at 0128, Radio Pio Doce, sounds like ads or at
least hype in Spanish; need LSB to avoid dratted Cuban jamming against nothing
on 5955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 4873, Sept 27 at 0051, approx. center of distorted blob with music,
no doubt the out-of-whack Rdif. Roraima. At 0126 recheck it had shifted to 4874
and I could tell it was drifting as I listened for a few seconds. Last night it
was around 4880 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHAD. 6165, Sept 27 at 0056, undermodulated talk at first unseems French
conversation, then it doesseem. By 0103 recheck, Cuba is on and blocking,
unlike absence all last night. Bill Bingham, RSA, reminds me that Zambia has
been missing from 6165 for a long time, so the CCI with Chad I heard after 0300
was probably the other frequency toward Asia for Turkey`s English broadcast
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6165, Sept 27 at 0103, RHC is on in English back to blocking Chad, and
// 6000 is quite undermodulated by comparison. Similar for the Spanish channels
at 0130: much less modulation on 6060 than on 6100. At this time I noticed both
English and Spanish had same news item concerning the Pacific islands.
7340-7430, Sept 27 at 0113, approx. extent of jamming pulses bleeding from
single fast unit against nothing on 7405, and wall-of-noise on 7365 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) More about jamming under BOLIVIA
** DIEGO GARCIA. 12759-USB, Sept 27 at 0106, trace of broadcast talk from AFN.
I was not hearing it before 0100, maybe the time it QSYs up from 4319-USB
(which is always blocked by a big ute here after 0000 even if it propagate).
Anyhow, like last night, but not as well, 12759-USB gradually improves during
the next semihour; noticeably better at 0116 check in talk; 0125 music, and
still music at 0132-0133+ tuneout.
As Station Manager Greg Badger told me, we are axually hearing an Air Force
transmitter relaying AFN`s 99.1 FM, ``Power 99`` live DJs if we are listening
between 00 and 08 UT M-F, 02 and 06 UT Sat (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** GUAM. 13362-USB, no signal from AFN here around 0117 UT Sept 27 while Diego
Garcia [q.v.] is in on 12759-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 11740 & 11985, another check Sept 27 at 0053 of the two AIR
frequencies supposed to be simulcasting the Sinhala service at 0045-0115: 11740
with talk in presumed Sinhala; it does resemble French with rising intonations
at the end of phrases or sentences, at least the way it`s spoken here.
11985 is NOT //, instead open carrier with hi-pitched squeals. Still the same
(no IS on either) at 0058; by 0102, 11985 has started modulating in music //
but probably not synchronized with 11740. At 0115, 11985 is back to squeal on
OC, and by 0116, 11740 is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OMAN. 15140, Sept 26 at 2000 a choral and military band national anthem is
playing, must be Oman`s at local midnite; 2002 Arabic ID, and into an hour of
almost uninterrupted ME music, nice for my nap. Much better signal than Kuwait
on 15540 which would only play Western music, anyway. Georgi Bancov, Bulgaria,
suggests that RSO has done something to improve its signals, and I tend to
agree. Derek Lynch, Ireland, however, says the past two days, 15140 has been
coming on at 1500, thus missing the English hour. Is it on some other frequency
now at 1400, like 15560 which it had used for a while? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 4955, Sept 27 at 0012, music on very poor signal, presumed R. Cultural
Amauta, Huanta, the only known broadcaster in the Americas, yea, the world, on
4955 (notwithstanding R. Nacional, Colombia still in Aoki; how many decades has
that been gone?). 4955 supposedly counts upon ten times the power of another
Huantan, 4775, which I hear more often (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Sept 27 at 0048, R. Chaski a bit better than usual in Spanish
talk vs. music splashing from 5990 CRI via Cuba. 0058 the splash is off so
Chaski music is better heard; 0102 talk segment strong enough to tell the
modulation is distorted, presumably the usual `Creation Moment` wacko capsule,
until cutoff at 0105:17* which is 5.5 seconds later than yesterday. With BFO
on, it made a blip as the plug was pulled.
We may have only a month left to enjoy R. Chaski in the clear at 00-01, for in
B-13, IBB plans to put a Tibetan service on 5980 during that hour via Sri
Lanka, sure to draw ChiCom jamming as well (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA. 11905, Sept 27 at 0114 I am ready to hear SLBC start. Open
carrier cuts on music at 0114:47, good modulation and strength, but fluttery.
Two-pip timesignal is about 12 seconds late after 0115, sign-on in Hindi
mentioning ``Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 10000, Sept 27 at 0109, WWV during weather bits is putting out
modulation spike spurs at least as far down as 9945. I was ready to blame
Cairo`s 9965 transmitter where there is hardly any modulation on the
fundamental, but found the spikes stopped between the WWV wx and the time
announcement, resuming during the next minute (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1688 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-1, 9479, Thursday
Sept 26 starting at 2101:10; usual excellent signal. Next: 0330v UT Friday on
WWRB 5050; 0200v UT Saturday on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB; Saturday 0630 &
1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB; Saturday 1500 on WRMI 9955; Saturday
2330 on WTWW-2 9930; UT Sunday 0401 on WTWW-1 5830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1680, Sept 27 at 0118 UT, KRJO Monroe LA has a fast SAH similar to
what I heard around sunrise, and a bit of other audio when I null KRJO. I was
hoping it would be Spanish, but by 0120 fades in as English, so likely WPRR in
Michigan.
Another 1680 remote possibility is the NAU station in Flagstaff AZ, ``KJAK``,
part 15 or maybe a bit more, as Mike Sanburn reminds us, which you won`t find
in the listings. Strangely enough, FCC AM Query shows KJAK is not assigned to
any other AM station (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. TA carrier search Sept 27 at 0117-0122 UT: none found on 9 kHz
steps with BFO, but 1521 het against 1520 KOKC; these 1-kHz ones are best heard
without the BFO, just listening for the het, and surely this is the 2-megawatt
in the northwestern corner of Saudi Arabia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
