** ARGENTINA [non]. 11580, Friday May 12 at 2200, RAE, Argentina al Mundo,
Spanish service is opening via WRMI; originally on 5950 only aimed south, which
remains a JBA carrier if any so early here, much better 11580 was soon added,
but RAE apparently doesn`t know it. It`s on the NE 44-degree antenna toward
Europe, so midnight in Spain (still not returned to only UT+1, while it should
really be UT=0). Also a beam better along the east coast of North America. I
think it was on a week ago too but at 2230 cut to WORLD OF RADIO for the last
time at this hour. This week, RAE continues past 2230 and seems to be amid the
DX program, `Actualidad DX` at 2227, but I don`t have time to listen closely.
11580 also continues to show on the WRMI sked grid for RAE in English at 01-02
UT Tue-Sat, as well as 9395, but 11580 is still carrying variety of other
programming this hour: 0117 UT May 13, some gospel huxter, presumably following
`Dub Politico` at 0100 (altho `Viva Miami` was scheduled at 0115). And at 0147
amid IBC Radio with the ham DX news I have heard before.
So I listen to 9395 for a while. YL with scripted feature, mixed with nice
music bits, 0128 outro as `Stories of the Bicentenary`. Then multiple contact
info, song, and starting at 0133.5, the ``Saturday`` DX program, so they really
mean UT Saturday in this case, a good thing, since there is no SW broadcast on
UT Sunday! In Spanish it`s `Actualidad DX` but I`m not clear what they call it
in English, as ``Actuality DX`` doesn`t really translate well. First reminds us
of RAE`s own new SW relays via WRMI, Spanish M-F 22-23 on 5950; English Tue-Sat
01-02 on 9395 (and only these, not mentioning either the 08-09 Spanish
scheduled on 5850; can anyone awake confirm that? Tue-Sat).
After that, only one subject, about a station (FM of course) for Mosul, Iraq,
transmitting from Erbil, Kurdistan, with clips. Ends at 0145 already with
credit to Arnaldo Slaen for production, into song; 0152 headlines and about to
close. Reception remains strong and steady, altho later in the evening, the MUF
often falls below 9395 into a JBA carrier. I thought early editions of the new
DX program (in Spanish) were much longer, and they may vary some, but now we
have the time to enter into DX/SWL/Media Programs, in English: UT Sat 0133-0145
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6936, May 13 at 0149, sounds like SSTV, probably a pirate,
and no vocal ones heard this hour. Sent several SSTV images, some of them
displayed here, but no IDs:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,34819.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 15450.05, Saturday May 13 at 1252, VOT opens `The Letterbox
Program`. VP reception partly tnx to my line noise level which is still bad on
this band, but has some intermittent breaks, and VOT strength gradually
increases a bit around S9; this may be the only unscripted show on station, as
host informally reads bits of reception reports and thanks them. Somebody
acknowledged getting a program schedule. Wish I could say the same. Does anyone
have a current hard (or soft, yeah sure) copy? Ends with same theme and title
at 1306, then ``The Voice of Turkey, always by your side``. So this is
confirmed as an on-week for fortnightly show, and time as 1252-1306v

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1877 monitoring: de-confirmed Friday May 12 at 2230,
no longer on WRMI 11580 (see ARGENTINA [non]). Confirmed Fri May 12 at 2330 on
WBCQ 9330.0v-CUSB, fair. Not confirmed the Sat 1431 on HLR 7265-CUSB; checked
at 1455, noise plus lightning crashes around UTwente, maybe a trace of audio
which could be me. Next:
Sat 1930v WA0RCR 1860-AM ND

** U S A. (7490), UT Sat May 13 after 0000, I can only catch a bit of `Allan
Weiner Worldwide` WBCQ webcast on his first week back in Monticello from DeLand
of Fla; says the home studio is dusty. Discussing SW and TV transmitters and
equipment, as he does most of the time. Mentions that TimTron is doing better,
recovering from an unknown bug, and has resumed belching on the (ham?) air.
5129.82 & 7490v, May 13 at next check 0146, are back to BS, and 9330 should be
too, but it`s S9+25 of dead air. Still the case at 0203, and 0540! when I
measure it on 9330.043. Still/again, dead air at 1230, S6 on 9330.05, or is it
JBM? So dead all night? Anyhow, all that time would be nothing but BS if
modulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11580, Saturday May 13 at 1310, checking what`s on WRMI? `Your
Weekend Show` as Bob laments that ``the promise of the internet is gone`, full
of fake info, people glued to it via their phones. Also has musical CCI. EiBi
shows KTWR GUAM also here until 1315 in Vietnamese, which doesn`t shift to
11585 until 1315; why wait? And also Sound of Hope, Taiwan relaying Radio Free
Asia in Chinese, ergo CNR1 jamming could be too. (EiBi also has multiple WRMI
entries for each program/station relayed.)
After 1400 this Sat, 11580 is still playing World Music, which leads me to have
another look at their skedgrid for that:
http://tinyurl.com/WRMIfqs
It seems that the name no longer appears anywhere! The 14-15 UT hour on 11580
is unaccounted for, but there remain mostly blank entries at 06-07 on 5850 &
7730, with two half-hour exceptions (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6039.0 & 6040.0 & 6041.0, May 13 at 1217, three peak carriers of
rapid tonal pulse jamming, against nothing. I suppose to be applied by Korea
North against Shiokaze which doesn`t start 6040 until 1300 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6640 and 6679, May 13 at 1222, JBA AM carriers during bandscan,
intriguing. Anything likely in EiBi?
6640 has New York and San Francisco LDOC, whatever that mean, 24h, and he
doesn`t specify what`s SSB, AM or other modes.
6679 has Hong Kong, Honolulu, Tokyo and Auckland VOLMETs rotating twice an
hour, and starting at :20 is Auckland, NEW ZEALAND (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** CUBA. 13740, May 14 at 0328, R. Rebelde music // 5025 instead of RHC
programming, tnx to a tip from Richard Langley in Hawaii who was hearing 13740
only before 0300. I checked other RHC Spanish frequencies, 5040, 6060, 7340,
11670, 11840 and with different music they were // each other, but not 13740.
5025 itself is often absent in the evenings, but on tonight. Suspect 13740 just
another SNAFU in feed routings, but we shall see if it happen again (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9925, UT Sunday May 14, The Mighty KBC via GERMANY is
doing much better on its second week back on 31m, VG S9+20/10, Uncle Eric
introducing Kraig Krist at 0140, about 10 minutes earlier than usual. Forgotten
Song is #28 from April 1977, the Jacksons` ``Show You the Way to Go`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6880.0-AM, May 13 at 2340, pirate music at S8-S6, no doubt
Unknown Name Radio Network on its favorite but not only frequency. Yes, per
this thread at this hour, starting as early as 2116, including some log from
overseas:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php?topic=34836.0
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TASMANIA [non]. 11580, May 13 at 2342, WRMI amid `Hobart Radio
International` with clip from Netherlands, 2342 ID and addresses, then PSS =
Pirate Station Special with clip of Radio Barracuda (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Armed Forces Day monitoring, May 13 at 2310-2333, quickly checking
all the frequencies in this schedule:
https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnxhcm15bWFyc3BvcnRhbHxneDo3OWI5ZWQ4YWQ1YTBiMDNl
altho it`s soon obvious nothing is propagating above 15 MHz or below 6 MHz,
results:
7360-USB, May 13 at 2310, CQ Armed Forces Day Crossband, from NWKJ [all calls
given fonetikaly], then contact with an N9? Very poor. NWKJ is USS Yorktown,
CV-10, Charleston SC.
13963.5-USB, May 13 at 2312, CQ AFD from AAC in Lexington KY, QSX 14240 [nobody
really says QSX, but I do]. AAC is at Barrow Army Reserve Center. Some
frequencies have more than one station listed, so I hit 13963.5-USB again a few
minutes later in search of WAR at The Pentagon, but I never hear it on this or
any frequency, instead AAC again at 2317 with WH7W in Hawaii. Says 6-8 weeks
for QSL reply. At 2333, AAC op gives name as Harv, good signal.
14438.5-USB, May 13 at 2313, YL says ``unable to give out callsign at this
time``, but then Pat at AAZ contacts WQ5L. AAZ is at Fort Huachuca AZ, which is
handling QSLing for all the stations, but it may take about 60 days. QSX 14340
USB, out at 2314.
6913-CW, May 13 at 2323, strong CW signal, ``DE NWVC`` which is LST-325 in
Evansville IN.
7535.0-LSB, May 13 at 2325, NSS Annapolis MD special reactivation with W8VVE,
then KF8IY, Bob in OH; QRZ on 7255. This is listed at 7533.5-USB! Apparently a
bit of confusion with 1.5 kHz offset reference frequency and which SB, run by
hams used to LSB on 7 MHz. The original NSS at the US Naval Academy had been
off the air for about 40 years. See stories in DXLD 17-18 and 17-19.
14487-USB, May 13 at 2327, trace of something, looking for ADB at Camp Foster,
Okinawa, but also listed for NSS.
6903.5-USB, May 13 at 2329, poor signal but ID as NEPM, Matt with almost
unreadable contact, then KF7OQY? NEPM is USS Iowa BB 61 in Los Angeles CA.
After lawnmowing and a recovery period, another session in case anything else
can be heard after 0143 UT, altho many of the stations have officially closed
earlier:
5357, May 14 at 0143, digital tones. Two stations listed here for USB, ABH in
Schofield Barracks, Hawaii (still too early), and ALT in nearby Camp Mabry
(Austin) TX. I don`t try to copy anything digital.
7360, May 14 at 0146 has a broadcast station, BBC via Austria to Afghanistan,
altho NIIW in San Diego is listed until 0500 (I heard it last year, like
several of the above). See last year`s full report:
http://www.w4uvh.net/dxld1620.txt
6913-USB, May 14 at 0147, NWVC with good signal; 0150 Art calling CQ from
LST-325 in Evansville IN, QSX 7212-LSB, contact K4CGA (I don`t try to hear any
of the hams); see http://LSTmemorial.org for QSL address
4040-USB, May 14 at 0148, weak station in Spanish, surely not NSS (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1877 monitoring: confirmed Saturday May 13 at 2251 the
2230 broadcast on WBCQ 9330.10v-CUSB, good. Also confirmed the newest addition,
UT Sunday May 14 at 0200 on WRMI 11580 (replacing Ukraine which had not been
sending new shows on weekends), good signal and still S9+10 at 0225 recheck
when I am mentioning this very emission. Richard Langley visiting Hawaii was
also hearing it with a fair signal on Saturday afternoon; despite allegedly
aiming northeast from Okeechobee. Also confirmed here UT Sunday May 14 at 0327
on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Wentzville MO, good, about Ireland`s LW 252, some 13
minutes in, so started circa 0314. Next:
Sun 1030 HLR 9485-CUSB to WSW
Sun 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Mon 0300v WBCQ 5130v Area 51 to WSW

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9330.10v-CUSB, Sat May 13 at 2308, WBCQ `Allan Weiner Worldwide`
replay during Available Timeslot, as I tune in, lamenting that someone has quit
his show even after the price was halved; who was that? Interrupted by a call
from Jay Miller (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12105, May 13 at 2123, WTWW-3 is S6 of dead air instead of bibling,
but 9930, WTWW-2 is loudly musical (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9894.6, May 13 at 2121, S7 open carrier. Suspect it`s Cairo,
French scheduled on 9895 until 2115*, as the *2115v- English scheduled on 9800
has been showing up on 9799.6 and has also been reported coming up very late
