Sorry about the duplication, but I really need to get the subject line right. Please delete the `May` one
** ALASKA. 7355, June 8 at 1215 check, only a JBA carrier from presumed KNLS during English hour; not the best date to try it, as K-index was 4 with G2 level geomagnetic storms (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. 11470, June 8 at 1232, very poor signal in Chinese, i.e. CNR1 jammer against one of countless 0.1 kW Sound of Hope nuisance transmitters as in Aoki, which could be active from Taiwan any time between 2100 and 1710. This and possible // inband frequencies too poor to make an audio match; after having found no CNR1 jammers propagating 12-18 MHz during degraded propagation conditions (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EGYPT. 13850, June 8 at 0333, R. Cairo, ME music, good modulation for a change! Signal also good, with flutter 9965, June 8 at 0333, R. Cairo, other Arabic service is now undermodulated, plus whine but good signal level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUAM. 9975, June 8 at 1241, Asian music fair vs ACI from 9980 where the BS from WWCR has not yet built up to full daytime blast level; 1242 Chinese mentioning TWR, and 1243 ID as KTWR Agana (not Agaña) and then off circa 1245. Per Aoki, 1215-1245 is in Chinese M-F with 200 kW, Japanese on Sundays with only 100 kW but on same 315-azimuth antenna. And 9975 will be back at 1330-1445 mostly in 200 kW Chinese (Mandarin), but again halved to only 100 kW for less important Hui and Cantonese segments at 1400-1430; does this reflect jamming priorities too? I was not hearing any (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 1060+, June 7 at 0505, end Mexican NA and immediate full ID for XERDO by SHVA, also XHRDO (?), so apparently this new AM station in Matamoros, Tamaulipas also has an FM dupe; not mentioned in the last Cantú list I preserved from February. Usual low audible het since it`s off-frequency to hi side, and copying in USB helps a lot; simultaneously hearing non-hyped on-frequency announcements from XEEP México DF. Evidently RCC`s KRCN in CO is not cheating with 50 kW day power at the moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 1090, June 7 at 0513, pausa en Milenio noticias, dominating channel rather than KAAY or anything else, but bothered by KRLD IBOC, lessened by off-tuning to 1088; so it`s XEAU, 5/0.5 kW in Monterrey NL with TV soundtrack (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. Not much sporadic E VHF DX showing lately, just in UT: June 6: 2053 on 2, brief bit of video shows 2057 on 2, fútbol, Net 7 bug in UR; XHTAU Tampico? (Glenn Hauser, OK, June 8, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 930, June 7 at 1222 UT, yes, WKY, `La Indomable`, OKC, is still defaulting to unaccented English for a pubaffs talk show on Sunday mornings for less than a semihour circa 1200 UT --- discussion of some Medieval Times event (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SOMALILAND. 7120, June 8 at 0328, no signal from R. Hargeisa, but at 0331 a very poor AM carrier vs CW QRhaM. Kouji Hashimoto, Japan, who`s such a fan that hargeisa is in his e-mail address, continues to monitor its closedown almost every night in May within two minutes of 1900* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 15770, June 7 at 1250, open carrier from WRMI. We can hardly wait till 1300 for Brother Scare to start, since the other two frequencies, 11580 and 11825, both have Asian QRM, while 15770 never does (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TURKEY. 9515, June 8 at 0331, VOT with music, good but fluttery, ID, 0332 into `Eco-Friendly Turkey`. I had started listening to webcast at 0300 for news about the elexion, disturbances; attainable via http://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm 15450, June 8 at 1230, VOT opening English is strangely one of very few signals audible on 19m during degraded K=4, G2 propagation, yet insufficient (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1776 monitoring: confirmed in progress UT Sunday June 7 at 0330 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM. JBA vs noise level, and could not determine when it may have started, but after 0315. WOR 1776 also confirmed on WRMI: Sunday June 7 at 2100 on 15770; 2300 on 11580; and UT Monday June 8 at 0330 on 9955, the latter with lite pulse jamming; tnx a lot, Arnie! Also confirmed on Area 51 webcast, UT Monday June 8 at 0300, and on 5110-, CUSB, checked at 0329, fair signal vs storm noise, (and over to Hobart at 0330). Next: 1100 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 0630 UT Wednesday HLR 7265-CUSB 1315 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 1430 UT Wednesday HLR 7265-CUSB 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ZANZIBAR. 6015, June 8 at 0329, poor signal, talk in presumed Swahili, from ZBC. Also reported by Ron Howard in California, at 0338-0407 June 8 in ``above average reception`` with this 2+ minute sample: https://app.box.com/s/dzp6jblnc2njyz2e3zkd54pf1pl8fg9j Note the 5+1 timesignal at the very end is at 2-second intervals. We haven`t heard 11735 circa 2000 in a long time; still on?
