3289.97 V.O. Guyana not on at 0924 and still not there at 1004
recheck. (21 August)
Nothing from 4965 R. Alvorada again this morning in checks after 0924.
Haven?t found it the last several times I?ve looked. (21 August)
3310 No sign of R. Mosoj Chaski here at 0935, but it was there
already fading at 1004 recheck. (21 August)
ARGENTINA 6070v RAE The severely distorted signal jumping and
drifting around this freq is indeed RAE. Found the signal came on at
0954:47 then mx started shortly later. Caught a M anncr giving an ID
at 0959, 5+1 long time ticks at 1000, then usual multi-lingual ID
sequence for abt 2 min. It was just clear enough in AM mode with a
width bandwidth. Was way up on 6071.3 (roughly) when the signal came
on, down to 6070.2 at 1000, and 6069.7 by 1016. Posted a video on
Youtube at https://youtu.be/cOUnOGg9hxQ (21 August)
BRAZIL 11735 R. Transmundial Surprisingly good signal at 1020
w/end of soft vcl song, then canned pgm intro by M w ?Bon dia Brasil?,
and live M DJ over instru. mx w/?Bon Dia?, nice ID, and cont. tlk.
There was an R1 radio blackout with another M class flare just a half
hour previous, so I can?t understand why this would be so good, but
the rest of the band was very poor. In fact this was abt on par with
11780 R. Nacional Amazonia. There was almost nothing on 19m. The
only signal audible was the CRN1 jammer on 14920. (21 August)
NORTH KOREA 11710 V.O. Korea 1123 end of slanted EG editorial
feature, ID by W, then closing ID/sked anmnt by W including 1030-1130
in EG on 11710 and 11735. Strong signal on this freq. Dead air at
1127. (21 August)

** AUSTRALIA. 9580, Aug 21 at 1354, RA is still running `Live and Local`
non-classical music show on Fridays, wrapping up with a final tune and before
that during talk I can reconfirm hearing no squealing any more (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BANGLADESH. 15505, Aug 21 I tune in JBA Bangladesh Betar signal just in time
to hear mistimesignal ending at 1359:52.5; first time it`s been propagating in
a few months; into usual theme music opening Urdu service (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. CNR1 jammers are showing up again morning of Aug 21 with improved
propagation:
12560, Aug 21 at 1348, CNR1 jammer, very good and about 2 seconds behind //
13690, which is good with CCI from victim
15115, Aug 21 at 1349, CNR1 jammer, with CCI, and only an echo apart from 13690
15265, Aug 21 at 1349, CNR1 jammer, very good in the clear
16100, Aug 21 at 1351, CNR1 jammer obviously, VG signal with same flutter as on
others, but open carrier/dead air
None in the 17s or 18s, however as MUF is still depressed; 17560 CRI East
Turkistan is JBA. Nor any in the 10s or 9s; but in the 11s:
11100, Aug 21 at 1355, CNR1 jammer, poor
11640, Aug 21 at 1356, CNR1 jammer, very poor
11785, Aug 21 at 1356, CNR1 jammer, good // 13690
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
13855, Aug 21 at 1346, F-G with Chinese opera, not // 13690 and the other CNR1
jammers, since this is really CRI Chinese during this hour only, 500 kW, 308
degrees for Europe via Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN; and *much* stronger than 13845
WWCR which has no sporadic E enhancement (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15370, Aug 20 at 2350, RHC is S9+5 with open carrier/dead air, during
what is supposed to be Portuguese to Rio. RHC`s redesigned website now displays
frequency schedule as framed pdf:
http://www.radiohc.cu/interesantes/frecuencias
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 9965.2, Aug 20 at 2328, R. Cairo is just barely modulated, presumed
during English to N America sesquihour, plus whine.
12070.0, Aug 20 at 2344, R. Cairo, fair with ME music, modulation seems OK and
not off-frequency. Perhaps they have axually fixed one frequency/transmitter
but further chex needed. This Abis is on air 2330-0200 in Arabic, Spanish
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NICARAGUA. 8989-USB, Aug 20 I start monitoring around 2330 for the
``Pescador Preacher`` often reported by Bob Wilkner in FL. At first nothing
audible, but by 2347 a JBA talker, S3 vs noise level, marred by some hash
around 8993 possibly from a local device; 2355 recheck a word or two and then
stops, nothing more. Seems he`s never on after 0000. If I had heard some music
that would make it more certain. No one seems to know the details of this
presumably illegal operation, possibly from offshore, marine-oriented tho in an
aero band. He apparently refers to Nicaragua and even makes contacts with
sailors (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1787 monitoring: confirmed Thursday August 20 at 2100

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5950, Thu Aug 20 at 2340, WRMI with AWR Wavescan, very poor but
reading up to S7; then I find much stronger 5850 at S9+35, with same Wavescan,
but 30 seconds ahead of 5950. WRMI website does not yet show any program
details for `System H` which is AWR programming at 2300-2400 and 1100-1200
daily on 5950, but we know the first semihour of each is the new AWR show
produced in Cuba and back to Cuba in Spanish. The 2330-2400 & 1130-1200 have to
be filled with something, so why not Wavescan? That`s a potential 14 additional
airings each week. It`s already on 5850 at 2330 Wed & Sun.
As for why reception here on 5850 is so poor, Dan Elyea of WRMI replied:
``Glenn, I think Jeff may be in Australia preparing for the upcoming HFCC
meetings, so I'll step up to the plate. Your surmise is correct: the antenna
used for the Cuba transmissions on 5950 kHz has a high take-off angle of 45
degrees and a horizontal beamwidth of 90 degrees. Azimuth is 181 degrees, so
that the footprint just nicely brackets Cuba. The main function in life for
that antenna is to service Cuba. 73, (Dan Elyea, WRMI, Aug 19, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)``
Thanks, Dan. Wonder if same or equal antenna is used on any of the other
frequencies, when to Cuba like 9955 jammed services? Glenn
``Glenn, the antenna on azimuth of 181 degrees is the only one of that type on
the site. All the other antennas have a take-of-angle of less than 20 degrees;
mostly between 7 and 16 degrees. At the present time (by my understanding), no
other frequencies are carried on the 181 degrees antenna. 73, Dan``
On the schedule grid I do see that WRMI-14 is on air three hours a day, also
5850 at 22-23 with FSI Spanish, which may really be F?mily Radio, or some other
relay not yet displayed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7489.95-AM, Thu Aug 20 at 2330, WBCQ amid an `Allan Weiner Worldwide`
playback apparently from last UT Sat 0000, discussing Radio World article about
50 kW class-A stations and whether the AM band should be converted to IBOC-only
and/or opened up to low-power AMs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9975 et al., Aug 21 at 0004, I`m checking KVOH for the spur problem
which erupted last night. Unfortunately still there but closer in. I e-mailed
Ray Robinson:
``Hi Ray, I checked between 0004 and 0008 UT, and found the unstable spreading
spurs are now centered about 21 kHz above and below, i.e. 9954, and causing
more QRM to WRMI than the jamming. And 9996, adjacent QRM to WWV 10000. Also
spikes detectable around 10017, 9932 vs Greece and its whine. Especially with
WRMI and WWV being hit, you might want to consider closing down until they are
gone for sure.``
And later: ``Still wiping out WRMI at 0054. Also audible against WWV. Glenn.
Next check at 0147: spurs gone but 9975 itself is crackling and breaking up.
Glenn. 0242 sounds more or less normal, undermodulated, no spurs or crackle on
main signal. Glenn``
Ray had replied at 0226: ``Thanks, Glenn. Our transmitter engineer has been
working on this all evening. The fix he thought he had applied last night was
obviously insufficient. However, his first priority
was to eliminate the spurs, which he has now done. Still working on the main
signal. Ray`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 6220-AM, Aug 20 at *2357:33.5, WWCR/WNQM mix pops on the air at
exactly same time as 7520 comes on. 6220 is about S4. Then check 8820 and find
an S1 JBA carrier there too. Next time I should log exactly when the latter
appear for absolute confirmation of its source too. And so many other WNQM/WWCR
mixing spurs to explore! As in previously compiled table (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Re my previous report: ``1200, Aug 9 at 0600 UT, C&W music, poor,
with WOAI nulled as much as possible, making SAH of ~9 Hz. Probably WAMB
Nashville TN, which recently flipped from Spanish [. . .] Trouble is, WAMB is a
50 kW ND daytimer, NO night authorization, altho maybe they are compromising by
running the 3.8 kW critical-hours authorization, as this doesn`t sound like
full-bore 50 kW ND ? la WSM. I wonder if the engineer-in-charge of WAMB is
anyone we know in Nashville? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)``
George McClintock replies August 19, gist: Gary Brown is the contract CE of
WAMB; maybe running about 8 kW, or 3.5 kW critical-hours power. He was
surprised that you were hearing it. WAMB is being sold, and the C&W music is
temporary.
Doug Smith also sent me a Google Earth view notated: ``In the attachment, note
the (very small) cleared area immediately southwest of the intersection of
Highway 155 (known locally as Briley Parkway) and Ashland City Highway. That's
where the WAMB-1200 towers are`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

In this part of my report, I meant to say 5950, not 5850; corrected:
As for why reception here on 5950 is so poor, Dan Elyea of WRMI replied:
``Glenn, I think Jeff may be in Australia preparing for the upcoming HFCC
meetings, so I'll step up to the plate. Your surmise is correct: the antenna
used for the Cuba transmissions on 5950 kHz has a high take-off angle of 45
degrees and a horizontal beamwidth of 90 degrees. Azimuth is 181 degrees, so
that the footprint just nicely brackets Cuba. The main function in life for
that antenna is to service Cuba. 73, (Dan Elyea, WRMI, Aug 19, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)``

** OMAN [and non]. 9500, Aug 22 at 0120, RSO on correct frequency tonite with
lite music! And Arabic comments, S9+20 but sounds poor with undermodulation;
also bothered by noise, apparently bleed from 9490 jamming; and crackle at
least above 9508 and around 9545-9560, suspected out of the Cuba 9535
transmitter again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5110.0-AM, UT Sat Aug 22 at 0134, WBCQ must be back on the other
transmitter, not off frequency, and not CUSB, as `Allan Weiner Worldwide` is
running much later than usual, a sesquihour-plus. Very poor here but good on
almost synchronized // 7490, as AW is reading from the e-mailbag. 9330 is off.
At 0139 his closing prayer to Jesus, but he always comes back with more station
comments: in a ``financial crunch`` as ``several clients have been lost``.
Plenty of time available on 9330, also 5110, and some on 7490. 0141 says Art
Bell 04-07 UT weeknites now on 7490 only ``can`t keep doing it unsponsored;
need to cover at least the electric bill``. (Art Bell website says local
sponsorship holes are at :28 and :58 past the hours.) 0143 he`s finished and

DIGEST)
** U S A. 1690, Aug 22 at 0153 UT, R. Disney YL DJ gabbing, so I check 620 and
find that 1690 is 9 seconds behind 620. Disney still hasn`t unloaded two O&O
stations we can hear, 1690 KDDZ Arvada CO (address in Lakewood), and 620 KMKI
Plano TX (address in Dallas); the latter has been reported sold to the
KSKY-cluster but must not have finalized yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
