Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
** ALBANIA. 9855-, Sept 2 at 0127, R. Tirana is JBA with IS? and hum? at S1-S2,
too weak (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA. 11710.7, Sept 2 at 0125, RAE with tango song, S1-S3 but
modulation no longer distorted like last time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, Sept 2 at 1137, presumed NBC with poor signal, but
enough to convey some music, still there at 1231. Going by Ron Howard`s obs;
but beware: RRI Palangkaraya is also active from before 1000 until 1700v*, per
Atsunori Ishida (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. 2325 & 2485 & 4835, Sept 2 at 1130 check, all three VL8s are
still OFF (one should try for Sikkim 4835, but would be tough beyond the west
coast; and WWCR still big on 4840 until 1159 as the sun is rising here --- I
think, as website sked not updated since Aug 31).
9580, RA is on and VG as usual, while 12065 & 12085 are JBA with low MUF. After
1500, 9580 is still in well with music on the BST-1 caradio (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COLOMBIA [and non]. 6010+, Sept 2 at 0016, two signals, very poor both on hi
side of frequency, slightly apart, making a beat, surely LV de tu Conciencia,
and R. Inconfid?ncia, Brasil. Same at 0138 check.
5909.975, Sept 2 at 0017, S6 music much stronger than 6010, from Alcarav?n
Radio, and the frequency is wavering slightly. (Wolfgang B?schel was also
monitoring this in Germany a semihour earlier at 5909.973). Another remeasure
check at 0523 after NHK/France is off: 5909.984 up to S9; and 6009.949, as the
upper HJDH twin does vary more, both sides of nominal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 7735, Sept 2 at 0103, some pulse jamming can be heard on the hi side
of 7730 WRMIBS, but not on the lo side circa 7725. Another stray, or a feeble
attempt to QRM deliberately? 7405 has similar stronger pulse jamming against no
Radio Mart? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11830 & 11850, Sept 2 at 0123, S1 signals in JBA Spanish, enough to //
on another receiver to 11840 RHC, the parasites always attached to it.
Fundamentals 11670 and 11760 also // but not as strong as usual.
6000, Sept 2 at 0527, RHC English with distorted modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EAST TURKISTAN [non]. 9350, Sept 2 at 0111, two weak signals slightly
offset, i.e. ChiCom jamming and RFA Uyghur via TAJIKISTAN during this hour only
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 12005, Sept 1 at 2348, VP weak blob from R. Cairo, which runs for
another hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 6145, Sept 2 at 0136, JBA carrier, below the noise level, presumably
AIR as scheduled, on the frequency The Farty KBC will be overtaking from Sept
11, UT Sundays at 00-02 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 3344.865, Sept 2 at 1234, JBA carrier carefully measured again,
the signature of RRI Ternate; I`d say accurate to within 2 Hz. Atsunori Ishida
does not deal in precise frequencies, but careful observations of activity
times: it`s being heard from around 1000 until 1500v*, ``often low modulation``
per http://rri.jpn.org (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11600, Sept 1 at 2058, nice chanty music, good signal until
cutoff without announcement at 2100*. It`s Denge Kurdistanye, via
PRIDNESTROVYE, per Aoki during its final segment. Haven`t heard it this well in
months, no good in our summer mornings (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 820, Sept 2 at 1155, Spanish romantic music pauses for a YL non-ID,
``Canal 800-20`` (meaning ``ochocientos veinte`` not just ocho-veinte). Good
with WBAP nulled making slow SAH of 32/minute = 0.533 Hz; 1159 segu? instead of
any ID or anthem; strong enough to get a good DF on it as slightly CCW of
west-east, which fits for Mexicali BCN; and finally at 1202 a more complete
non-ID, ``Canal 800-20, ABC Radio``, more songs. Gone by 1220. So it really is
XEABCA as suspected, obscuring its grandiose 6-letter legal call. Getting a SRS
boost, LSR here being 1204, but still hard to believe it`s only 500 watts night
as in IRCA, Cant? and WRTH, or even 3500 watts day from a kilomile away,
overcoming 50,000 watt WBAP lately; seemingly a boost from previous nonentity
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Sept 2 at 0015, JBA carrier, so R. Chaski is back on, and enough
S6 signal at 0057 to hear some music modulation, but after a quick check of
VOV/WHRI, 5980 is already off circa 0059! So their slippery autotimer has
indeed been reset way earlier; and now will resume sliding about 6.5 seconds
later per 24 hours until another reset (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 6173.9, Sept 2 at 0100, JBA carrier is surely R. Tawantinsuyo on its
signature off-frequency, in the absence of anything on 6175 such as Woofferton,
WHRI or VOV as it claims (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA. 11905, Sept 2 at 0114, open carrier then JBA music pr?lude, 2+1
mis-timesignal ending at 0115:10, SLBC opening (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 9480.09, Sept 2 at 0112, JBA carrier, off-frequency; nothing
listed. Wolfgang B?schel also heard this at 0100 with BBCWS (English?), same
S9+20 strength as 9410 Oman and 15310 Thailand, maybe Singapore testing?
Unusually, he doesn`t specify exact frequency or whether it was ``even``. Since
I found it askew, I`d vote for UAE or South Africa site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1841 monitoring: confirmed Thursday Sept 1 at 2100 on
WRMI 13695, VG. Also confirmed after 2330 Thu Sept 1 on WBCQ, 9330.033-CUSB,
good S9+20. Also confirmed Friday Sept 2 at 2130.5 on WRMI, 13695, very good.

** U S A. 9330-CUSB, UT Fri Sept 2 at 0109, WBCQ is playing back last Friday
night`s `Allan Weiner Worldwide` when he was talking about the 500 K$
fund-raising project, WBCQ ``at a crossroads``. Normally would go off at 0100
after Blalock the blaster, but why not do this? Open ended, after all, so can
play the full AWWW which keeps going past 0200 as Pam is in concert from at
least 0156; with ``99 Years``, 0201 ``Turn Your Radio On`` as AW joins in.
My photocell-controlled streetlite had just fired up with an RF noise burst at
*0108, finally able to time it with a clear sky at sunset, which was 0059 UT
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, Friday Sept 2 at 2108, glad to hear WRMI with ME World Music
instead of Brother HyStairical who is supposedly scheduled until 2200 M-F,
-2100 Sat/Sun; and is still blathering away on 11565, 11580, 11825, 15440 and
no doubt some others less audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12105, Sept 2 at 0020, WTWW-3 is VP S6, music underlying talk,
probably Russian Bibling but too poor to be certain. Sometimes 12105 is
blasting in evenings, other times like this --- on the edge of propagation/skip
zone if not wide variations in transmitter power. At 0120 check, it`s down to
S1 and seemingly dead air as usual during the final hour. By then, 9475, WTWW-1
can only achieve a poor S6 signal, yet SFAW modulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** VIETNAM [non]. 7315, Sept 1 at 2359, I`m ready for another monitorage of the
new VOV relays setup to see if it`s any different from inaugural night. WHRI
ID; 0000 UT Sept 2 joining VOV theme after a pause, sign-on in English. It`s S9
but fadey like last night, on an unfavorable beam for us from SC, presumably
173 degrees. After news, 0014 Economy Report; 0023 song about Vietnam. 0028
dead air, 0028.5 WHR invites us to write to program and tell them ``it`s a
blessing`` (not exactly what they were gunning for from Hanoi, but in bed with
the super-Christians, what else?). 0029.5 WorldVision anti-hunger PSA. 0030
open VOV in Spanish. 0058 retune to hear WHR announcing that it is changing
from 7315 to 9605, and OCS war-mongering crusader theme, but at 0059, 9605 is
already on from other transmitter playing OCS too but separately, not synch!
WHRI self-co?rdination is totally upscrewed. Before 0100 on 7315, he says ``now
on 9605``! As before, 7315 really remains on the air at 010
0 with VOV in English again, while 9605 starts up long-running KBS WR relay in
Spanish. A third WHRI transmitter is doing its own thing on much stronger S9+40
7385 with USA radio network ``news`` toward us at 315 degrees.
WHR continues to insert its own propaganda during VOV breaks on 7315. At 0129
Sept 2: Voice of the Martyrs, 800-75-VOICE about blasphemy in Tanzania, and
WorldVision anti-AIDS. (How amusing it would be if one of these happened to
deal with human rights violations, Christian missionary persecution in Vietnam!)
There is a pause of about 9 seconds before VOV comes up at 0130+, like other
breaks. Spanish again. At 0159, WHR ID and OCS, no frequency announcement,
0200.5 into USA `news` now // 9605 which is still running another hour.
Meanwhile neither 12005 nor 6175 is on at 0100 check from Woofferton, WHRI, or
anywhere. Nor at 0121 nor at 0201. However, see PERU (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

UNIDENTIFIED. 594 kHz. Since it`s not INDIA, trying to locate the source of the
carrier heard here even in the daytime: September 1 between 19 and 20 UT, I
park a block away from 960 KGWA 4-tower transmitter site in NW Enid, but too
much noise, probably overload, to hear it at all. Due east of KGWA, I can hear
594 and the DF is still about the same from NNW, so that rules out a KGWA spur.
Also about the same DF from downtown Enid. This indicates it is some distance
away, and could also be SSE rather than NNW, with this bi-direxional ferrite
DFing on the portable DX-398. Will check further from other areas (Glenn
Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1309.70, Sept 2 at 0148 UT, JBA carrier hetting 1310 stations;
another possible off-frequency to be pursued (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1520, Sept 2 at 0142 UT, KOKC`s stupid Savage talk show is
getting heavy QRM from honky-tonk piano music, then C&W song. KOKC`s biggest
rival at night is normally out-of-whack KOLM, Rochester, Minnesota, sportstalk,
still such per its website. Could this be KYND, Cypress TX, which we normally
hear around sunrise? Sked page is now here:
https://kyndradio.com/show-schedule/
showing `Urban Music on Air` from 6 pm to 6 am [23-05 UT] weekdays (lots but
different hours on weekends) so that doesn`t fit either, unless they are
talking about Urban Cowboys --- Houston market, after all. They have quite a
mix of various talk shows and different kynds of music. BTW, it`s licensed as a
25 kW direxional daytimer only (18 kW Critical Hours), but no doubt the webcast
runs all-night. There is no longer a misleading coverage map linked from the
homepage. KYND, last logged here June 16 at 1150 UT, had a slow SAH against
KOKC, but this one makes a fast SAH. Hard to DF accurately vs KOKC, but seems
about ESE/WNW. By 0209 UT, KOKC, which is 10 kW ND on STA (forever?) is in
another offensive talkshow, Herman Cain, and dominating, but C&W music still
audible under. NRC AM Log 2016-2017 shows several little mostly daytimers with
C&W formats, in AL, IL, IN, MI, MI, MO, TX, WA. By DF the only one fitting
would be WTLM Opelika AL, D1 1000/CH 650 watts. If the DF was way
off, it could be KQQB Stockdale TX (just SE of San Antonio), D3 2500, but
application for D3 25000/CH 23000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9515-USB, Sept 2 at 0114, weak 2-way intruder seems in Spanish
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
