Tach,
da die Sendung gestern aus Armenien ein "kleines" Modulationsproblem hatte
(m gegen gef?hlt unendlich), gibt's morgen zwischen 19h00 und 19h10 UTC auf
11850 kHz einen Test mit Testt?nen und Musik in diversen Pegelungen. Die
Pegel werden jeweils vor dem Testton angesagt; ich w?re froh, Euer
subjektives Empfingen zu bekommen, ab wann es f?r Euch ok ist. Es f?ngt laut
an und geht dann in 1 dB Schritten von -6dBfs bis -15dBfs runter.
Danke und Gr?sse

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
** ALBANIA. 9854.95, August 2 at 0129, R. Tirana is S5 with humroar and
interval signal quite loud but extremely distorted. Sign-on does not start
until 0131, and now the modulation is much lower, useless vs self-interference
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 6180.02, August 2 at 0136, RNA is back on at S9+30 after missing the
last three nights; 6180 was clear for VOA French via S?o Tom? after 0530 August
1.
11874.5 approx., August 2 at 0148, RNA extremely distorted scratchy spurblob
from 11780 is here tonight, S1 on the meter, but loud! indicating how
overmodulated it is. Conveniently, WEWN is missing, as it puts out its own
spurs close to 11870. That`s 94.5 kHz above 11780, so look for it 94.5 kHz
below: yes, there is a match around 11685.5, at S5. These wanderers have also
been echoing on doubles, so next look for those, should be at plus/minus 189
kHz = 11969 & 11591 ? maybe on the higher one, but really band noise level is
too much to be sure (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11815, August 2 at S2, weak music from presumed R Brasil Central,
but the off-frequency privates circa 11935, 11925 and 11855 are all unheard.
Not due to propagation since still getting 11815 and of course 11780 and its
spurs. I wonder what effect if any the Olympix will have on ZY SW broadcasting?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 9745.0, August 2 at 0142, R. Cairo at S4, warbling carrier with low
roar, no Arabic programming audible. Suspected same transmitter switched to
12085 after 0200, but the sound of it does not match exactly.
9315.0, August 2 at 0145, R. Cairo is roaring with unreadable talk modulation,
no spurs this time.
9965.0, August 2 at 0146, R. Cairo, S9+20 with lite whine and trace of Arabic
modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 13980, August 1 at 1328, looking for Firedrake or CNR1 jammers,
instead find a weak buzzy signal in Spanish? mixing with something, symptomatic
of a mixing product from the overloaded R75: yes, barely // 15370 RHC, minus
1390 kHz from my strongest local KCRC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1836 monitoring: confirmed Monday August 1 at 2330 on
WBCQ, 9329.957-CUSB, fair. Next:
Tue 1100 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Tue 2130 WRMI 15770 to NE
Tue 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Wed 1315.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 2100 WBCQ 7490v to WSW
Wed 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7490, UT Tue Aug 2 at 0100, after listening to `From the Isle of
Music` on WBCQ webcast, I`m standing by for `Church of the Subgenius Hour of
Slack`, fragments of which surprisingly appeared the last two weeks at this
hour. Still not going back to The Overcomer, but after ID, rock music starts,
and 0101 ``Radio Bi-Po International,``, YL voice automated 9:01 timecheck,
more rock. 0106 tune ``Midnight Special``. More rock music and no announcements
except for a variety of program IDs; 0113 ``Helping you thru the hard times,
this is Radio Bi-Po International``.
By 0127 I`ve switched to listening direct on SW, more of same; 0134 ``Radio
Bi-Po, a station for those of us who are not exactly right, and everybody else
too``; 0141 YL auto TC as ``9:30``. 0150 ID missed exactly, but something about
``one minute --- next minute`` as in bipolarity. 0200 pause for canned WBCQ
jingle ID and chime, but still not back to Brother Scare, ``from the great
state of Maine --- Radio Bi-Po International``, time 10:02.
Such a show by someone at Monticello was previously heard on WBCQ, but not
currently on the schedule at all. Just another anomaly. 5129.9, 9330v and 3250v
are not on the air. Strangely, on UT Thursdays only when ex-convict Hal Turner
gets a weekly show on 7490 at 01-03, Brother Scare is shifted in compensation
to 5129.9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12105, August 2 at 0146, WTWW-3 is open carrier, dead air again at S8
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11870, August 2 at 0148, WEWN Spanish is OFF, facilitating audibility
of the RNA spur, see BRAZIL. 11520, August 2 at 0153, WEWN English is also OFF.
Did not get around to checking whether 5810 Spanish is also off (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7505v, August 2 at 0135, WRNO non-Mawire preacher is varying upward
as I listen with BFO on, soon reaching 7505.5. David Zantow in the Wisconsin
boresight from Metairie, sends a screenshot and sound clip from last night
showing a noise field surrounding WRNO interfering with 7490 WBCQ (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN. 7250, August 1 at 0539 check, no signal from R. Vaticana, during
the daily 0530-0600v Latin mass, which was introduced in several living
languages, such as Hungarian. Checking this since Jean-Michel Aubier reported
to the DXLD yg that this broadcast had been canceled as of today, except on
Sundays and liturgical feasts. (EiBi shows it was also on 15595, 6070, 3975,
585 kHz, unchecked here now. Also canceled is the Rosary at 1840-1900+ UT, on
15595, 11625, 9645, 7250, 6070, 585.)
Announcement on the RV French website gives the reason as ``progressive
dismantlement of the SW antennas at Santa Maria di Galeria`` --- so it looks
like Vatican SW is on the way out. Would-be listeners are shunted to satellite,
FM and Internet. Other broadcasts are likely to be canceled, two by two, if not
already.
Also bad news for VOA, which has become dependent on SMG relays, violating
Separation of Church and State, after having closed down its own relays such as
Morocco. HFCC shows there are 20 IBB broadcasts a day via Vatican to Africa
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
