13800 Puntland Radio One is on now, 1220. Have been listening to it for about
the past hour. Fairly decent signal. Some QSB of course, but quite readable.
Should be widely heard.

** AUSTRALIA. 9580 & 12085, Friday May 1 at 1315 tune-in, RA`s `Keys to Music`
with Graham Abbott, this week is about Alexander Scriabin, Russian composer who
led quite a tumultuous life, but died shortly before the Bolshevik Revolution.
Another excellent program!
We now have 27 days to listen to it via:
http://www.abc.net.au/classic/content/2015/04/26/4187784.htm
Coming up May 8: There`s something about Bizet`s Carmen;
May 15: Mozart`s last year
Spelling Scriabin seems to be universal, altho one would expect Russian to be
transliterated directly into English as Alexsandr Skryabin; perhaps French
influence continues to intervene. Here`s a compilation of various
transliterations and more about him:
http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Scriabin,_Aleksandr
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BANGLADESH. 15505, May 1 at 1359, BB IS is JBA until mistimesignal ending at
1400:17, opening Urdu service (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 7425, May 2 at 0525, poor signal with dw.de website, i.e.
Deutsche Welle, this hour only in English, 250 kW, 19 degrees from SOUTH
AFRICA. MUCH inferior to 7445 BBC English via ASCENSION, but maybe within
Africa there is less disparity. BTW, DW is promoting a photo competition (pix
of yourself at a World Heritage site) to win a trip to Berlin (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 960, May 1 at 0605 UT, open carrier/dead air from local KGWA Enid,
but resumes at 0606 UT with `Overnight America`. Don`t know if just missed a
commercial break or off for 6 minutes, in a total Fox-hole like occasionally
occurs at 0500-0505 UT, altho not caught then lately in several random chex
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [non]. 1020, May 2 at 0047 UT on caradio, KOKP Perry is still off
the air, with the frequency easily occupied by Spanish, ad for Acme something
in AC 402, i.e. eastern Nebraska, KMMQ Plattsmouth. May hours for full 50 kW
daytime power are now 1100-0130 UT, lobe westward (same pattern at night with
1.4 kW).
1020, May 2 circa 0150 UT on caradio, KDKA Pittsburgh PA is now the only
station to be heard. No LAH either, but maybe a bit too early for KCKN Roswell,
which other monitors agree is the likely source of it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1210, May 2 at 0542 UT, KGYN Guymon still sloganing as ``Today`s
Best Country`` rather than ``US Country``.
It seems that KGYN is now a mere subsidiary of the several-station group
Steckline Communications out of Kansas, a.k.a. Mid America [Ag/News] Network.
Uninformative website http://kgynradio.com/kgyn still displays the ``US
Country`` seal, FWIW.
Many stations around America use the slogan ``Today`s Best Country`` but is it
syndicated or doing their own thing? Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best_Country_Today
says it was the name of a Cumulus syndication, but changed to the above, so
maybe T.B.C. is up for individual grabs?
This website appears to have lots of linx:
http://kgynnewsroom.com/
but they are unfound and itself went dead in July, 2013. Some ``news``! (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OMAN. 9500, May 2 at 0216, fair signal with undermodulated Arabic? music and
talk. Presumed RSO on the air late beyond registered 00-02 UT block, and not on
9740 either as sometimes happens, its penultimate frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PUNTLAND. 13800, May 2 at 1306, I turn on radio last tuned to the Sudan
radio war circa 0530: and there is something weak, talk possibly in Italian, so
R. Puntland Uno is back after no appearances that we know of since the tests on
April 27-28. This is no longer a loop of IDs, but really can`t make much out.
Recheck at 1326, it`s gone.
Then I find a report on HCDX from Dave Valko, PA, that he too was hearing it
again today around 1120-1220+: ``13800 Puntland Radio One is on now, 1220. Have
been listening to it for about the past hour. Fairly decent signal. Some QSB
of course, but quite readable. Should be widely heard`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENIN GDIGEST)
** SUDAN [and non]. 13800, May 2 at 0525, R. Dabanga heavily hit by two tone
jammers, one a lo het closer to frequency on hi side, and another more like 1
kHz up, and they also beat against each other. But wait, there`s more: a
subaudible heterodyne, and second program modulation interfering. At first I
think the Sudanese have intensified the jamming with ChiCom-like programming
feed, but at 0527 that goes away while the tone/carrier jammers remain, as R.
Dabanga ID mentions being on Arabsat. 0530 is the scheduled time for a site
switch by RD from MADAGASCAR 335 degrees to VATICAN 150, so I think this must
have been a lame overlap by the two, with unsynchronized feeds. No difference
in signal strength here before or after as both Europe and Africa are
propagating well.
11650, meanwhile, the other Dabanga frequency which stays via VATICAN, has only
one tone jammer at 0528, a lower pitch than on 13800, so closer-in, leaving
Dabanga better audible than on 13800 altho not stronger (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1771 monitoring: confirmed Friday May 1 at 2140 UT on
both 15770 sufficient, and much weaker 7570 WRMI. One can never be sure which,
or both, or neither will be in use, but Jeff White says we can depend on 15770
for this Friday 2130.5 broadcast. Next:
Sat 1930v WA0RCR 1860-AM
Sun 0315v WA0RCR 1860-AM
Sun 2100 WRMI 15770 [? But not last week. Check 7570 too]
Sun 2300 WRMI 11580
Mon 0300v WBCQ 5110v Area 51 [but 5110 has been off the air]
Tue 1100 WRMI 9955

Wed 2100 WBCQ 7490v
Thu 0330 WRMI 9955 [or 1772 if ready in time]
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5110, May 2 at 0224 check, WBCQ is still off during the recently
added 23-07 UT block of BS. Area 51 schedule for the weekend is now up,
however, depending on 5110 to be operational, so apparently BS just left it
hastily, rather than from another breakdown:
``On-air, May 2-3, 2015 - All on WBCQ 5.110 MHz and

(Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15825, May 2 around 1400, WWCR is inbooming, as is 15610 WEWN, a sure
sign of sporadic-E opening at least on HF up to this MUF, rather than JBA to VP
normal signals. Checking 6m Es map at
http://www.dxmaps.com/spots/map.php?Lan=E&Frec=50&Map=NA
there is nice correlation with contacts between OK and TN, and the opening
grows by 1700 with lots more lines across central USA, MUF estimated 84 MHz.
Yet my analog TV on channel 2 is nothing but snow, as there is hardly anything
left to show up even when there is an Es opening. We need 88+ MHz for FM DX to
occur, so I start monitoring on open 88.1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 13765, May 2 at 0533, VR talking about ``p?o cotidiano``,
papal activities. In pure Luso accent, contrary to the Brazilian we here so
much more on SW. It remains for broadcasts to Africa not to employ Brazilians,
as there are hardly any broadcasts to or from Portugal any more on SW.
The remarkably short list of Portugiesisch (not including Brazilian domestix!)
at
http://www.addx.de/cgi-bin/hfp.cgi
doesn`t specify targets, but most of them are obviously for Africa.
Only CRI and RHC have some which are for Europe, but IIRC, RHC`s accents are
Brazilian (2000-2030 on 17730). Among several CRI Portuguese broadcasts, most
are to Africa, but two of the six frequencies at 19-20 UT are for CIRAF 37-NW,
i.e. Portugal, direct from East Turkistan/China, 9730 & 11750 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also SUDAN [and non]
UNIDENTIFIED [non]. Re: ``1130, April 28 at 0657 UT, Mexican music peaks
counter-clockwise from KWKH Shreveport, which rules out central Mexico, so
Central America? No Cubans listed. Or, from the other side, maybe Sinaloa or
Sonora. Need to keep on this one. No likely USA SS unless daytimers in TN or GA
happen to be nighttimers (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)``
Glenn: -- Several dates with a remote receiver in NE Atlanta Metro have
revealed regular cheating by WLBA/1130 in Gainesville; seems to be on all night
every night, probably using Critical Hours power (1 kW, I believe). ? (GREG
HARDISON, CA, May 2, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6001, May 1 at 0557, weak carrier here again in form of a het to
RHC English. Suspect it is the 4 (?) kW Bras?lia transmitter originally
intended for DRM testing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17795, May 1 at 1505, 1535 and 1557 chex, no signal. I am
checking out a report by new SW DXer Paul Walker in Redding CA, who says he was
hearing a program from Ulster, April 29 at 1545 UT, ``The audio was pretty good
and the signal was rock solid. The program was called "let the church speak"
from a church in Ulster, Northern Ireland.`` This was stronger than and right
next to WRMI 17790. He asked Jeff White about it. Presumably a pirate and
likely to be within North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

GUYANA, 3290.0 Voice of Guyana. Good signal into Maryland tonight. Lots of
QRN, but the utes that usually plague this frequency are absent. Sounded like
music of the Indian subcontinent until 02:02, then announcement by female,
including FM frequencies and "Voice of Guyana." Music then took on a more
Caribbean sound. At this writing (02:13), signal is improving. (Delibert,

Alan Roe`s Hitlist of SW stations websites:
http://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm
** ALBANIA. 9850, May 3 at 0125, R. Tirana IS, F-G signal, and LAH audible
underneath at pauses (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11815+, May 3 at 0117, music slightly on hi side, from RBC, poor
signal and marred by crackling spur from 11780.1 RNA/RNB. I recently referred
to it as a private station, but it`s really owned by the Goi?s state
government, as in
http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A1dio_Brasil_Central
which ought to confront the feds over this issue (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 12070+, May 3 at 0109, R. Cairo in Spanish with extreme distortion on
very good signal and loud modulation
11935+, May 3 at 0110, R. Cairo, open carrier/dead air on good signal in
Spanish[non]
9315.0, May 3 at 0111, R. Cairo, presumed Spanish, just barely modulated and
what there is sounds suptorted
9965+, May 3 at 0112, R. Cairo, ME music, fair-good and not distorted in Arabic
service (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE. 21580, May 2 at 1822, JBA signal, only one on 13m besides inbooming
21600 WHRI. Still at 1848 when I manage to // it to 17850, so it`s RFI as
expected, French to Africa; 21580 sked 17-20 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9925, May 3 at 0051, The Mighty KBC on new summer
frequency via GERMANY, VG signal too with Eric bragging about the 125,000 watts
(which is axually half-power). (WTWW is already on 5085, so no problem with
9930.) Kim Elliott was concerned with no 9925 signal until it came on late at
0010, and wasn`t sure whether his Radiogram would radiate circa 0130 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1020, May 2 at 1850 UT midday check, KOKP Perry is still off.
1120, May 2 at 1850 UT midday check, KETU Sperry is off again (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OMAN. 9500 & 9740, May 3 at 0111, no signals from RSO on either of the
frequencies usually employed at this hour. Where is it? I then check 15140 and
find instead WRMI/BS, probably receiver harmonic; see USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, May 2 at 0052, JBA carrier, presumed R. Chaski? But it`s even
weaker than usual, and can`t trace it at all at 0100. Maybe have reset the
autotimer now to earlier cutoff (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 17855, May 2 at 1831, REE is missing from its best (North American)
frequency, during silly ballgame coverage still audible on 17715, only fair;
15490, poor, and no signal on 15450 either (nor 21620 which appears on some
schedules earlier). Anyhow, leaves 17850 RFI alone without ACI (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA. 11905, May 3 at *0114:10.5 SLBC carrier on; 0114:46.5 music
starts; 0115:12 mistimesignal ends, sign-on. WRTH UD shows it`s in Bengali
daily rather than earlier skeds as Hindi some days of week (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SWEDEN [non]. 15260, May 2 at 1836, fair signal with ME music, Arabic talk.
Aoki shows it`s IBRA Radio via Woofferton UK 18-19 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 21400-USB, May 2 at 1823, WX7JM making quick contest contacts, giving
AZ/MCP signature, i.e. Ph?nix AZ, Maricopa county, 1824 with KB8LDE, unheard,
in Oregon, and then ``CQ Contest, 7QP``; what`s that? Then I hear a few others
on 15m (12 and 10m having been checked first, dead), as there is some sporadic
E in play:
21340-USB, May 2 at 1826, K9OM in Indiana working a K7 for this
21368-USB, May 2 at 1828, W7UUU in the Seventh Area QSO Party (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17895, May 2 at 1829, VOA, VG off the back of Greenville, promos for
music shows at 00-03 & 11-13 UT; and for `Music Time in Africa`, at 15 & 20 UT
Sat & Sun, says hyper Heather. 1830 cut to sign-off with YDD. This big steady
sig is about as close as we can get to hifi on SW. Wish they would run it all
day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 15630, May 2 at 1834, rap music in English, fair signal, 1837
announcement not in Greek, 1844 `Lean on Me`; 1846 announcement and soul music;
by 1851 faded to JBA. Aoki shows it`s VOA Amharic via FRANCE at 18-19 daily
plus M-F appendages: 1730-1800 Afaan Oromo, 1900-1930 Tigrinya (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1771 monitoring: 1860 kHz, confirmed starting at
0314:43.5 on WA0RCR, Gateway 160m ham broadcast from MO, and removing as much
music as possible from my opening, along with it much of what I say; hard to
hear here in noise level. Next:
Sun 2100 WRMI 15770 [? But not last week. Check 7570 too]
Sun 2300 WRMI 11580
Mon 0300v WBCQ 5110v Area 51 [but 5110 has been off or QRP]
Tue 1100 WRMI 9955
Wed 0630 HLR 7265-CUSB
Wed 1315 WRMI 9955
Wed 1430 HLR 7265-CUSB
Wed 2100 WBCQ 7490v
Thu 0330 WRMI 9955 [CANCELED per latest WRMI schedule]

** U S A. 11920, May 3 at 0127, WRMI continues to play fill music during this
hour instead of F?mily Radio in Spanish. This is really a positive development,
as Jeff has put together a very nice library of diverse eclectic music from
around the world, worth listening to for its own sake as I did for a while
tonight. Wish he would publish a playlist. First there was rock song with
guitar, language unknown; 0131 orchestral and YL vocal in Mideast song. Good
signal. (Meanwhile my streetlite fires at 0129.5 building up to full strength
by 0130; slightly cloudy at sunset or it might have been a few minutes later;
and the almost-full moon is right up near it) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 11825 & 5850, Sat May 2 at 2329 check, both Global 24 frequencies are
OFF from WRMI. But finally after a month, G24 Facebook has a new post:
``Global24 April 30 at 4:37am ? We expect to post an updated schedule soon.
Thanks.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15140, May 3 at 0102, Brother Scare with wide fading range from
nothing to poor, and in synch with 7570 WRMI, so this is second harmonic, but
suspect it`s produced by PL-880 receiver overload with too much random wire
plugged in, rather than transmission. The WRMI fundamental on 15190 is running
BS about one word behind, as it`s sent thru the Radio Africa Network (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5110, May 3 at 0052, very poor carrier and no modulation audible on
USB or LSB; recheck at 0059, now there is some JBA music on 5109.7-USB, as Area
51 is supposed to be on now, while the frequency has been missing the past week.
7490, May 3 at 0053, WBCQ, presumed piratical show with guy talking, but he`s
interrupted every few seconds for dead air as long as 10 seconds. It seems we
are not missing any words, as picks up where he left off, i.e. playback is
stopping and restarting sometimes in mid-word, or buffering (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1660, May 3 at 0120 UT, dominant signal has Nostalgic announcer
and ``Sunny Side of the Street``, loops NNE/SSW. Most likely KQWB West Fargo
ND, but it was last known to be Classic Country format; rather than ``KMBZ``
business format from KC/MO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15640, May 3 at 0106, very poor signal with gospel? music and
English announcements. Probably receiver overload image of the PL-880, but not
matched to any of the WWCRs; NHK direct from Japan is fundamentally on 15640
until 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
