Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
** ANGUILLA. 6090, July 9 at 0040, incredibly, decent modulation has finally
been restored at Caribbean Beacon after several months of extreme distortion,
PMS at S9+35, an echo apart from // 5935 WWCR. Downside now is that it
splatters more out to 6080-6100! Plus reaudiblizing the boring content of The
so-called University Network.
11775, July 9 at 1302 check, corresponding day frequency is also finally back
to normal, with DGS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 9530, July 9 at 0029 I happen to reach this frequency in bandscan,
where there`s usually a JBA carrier which I have previously matched to 4765 as
second harmonic of R. Progreso. Its nominal sign-on is *0030, so I quickly tune
second receiver PL-880 to 4764.0 with BFO on, and the NRD-545 to 9529.0 with
BFO, listening to both, one into each ear. Will there be a *carrier-on
simultaneously?
Yes!! At *0029:55, S9+20 on the lower, JBA on the upper. But all I hear is dead
air with some hum on 4765, maybe a bit of music at 0033. I leave one on while
continuing to bandscan, not paying attention again until 0048 when I discover
both are off --- gave up, I guess, unable to modulate. Also should look for 3 x
4765 at 14295, but adequate propagation unlikely (not to be confused with
Tajikistan x 3).
Meanwhile, 5025, R. Rebelde was running by 0035, at S9+25 with music
undermodulated but sufficient (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST)
** CUBA. 7340, July 9 at 0055, RHC in S9+10 of dead air. This one supposedly
runs from 21 to 04 UT per Aoki.
6145, July 9 at 0109, this RHC English frequency still missing, when it should
have started at 0100; leaving only 6000 which is good level now but suptorted
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6950.0-USB, July 9 at 0047, honky tonk piano song at S9, had
not been on at first bandscan circa 0030. At 0101.5, Wolverine Radio ID. Too
much else going on, like The Giant Jukebox on 9925, Theater Organ of Ozarx on
5085, to stay with this and figure out the theme, so check
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,35994.0.html
where many logged it all at 0044 until 0140* with ``town`` in tune titles,
along with a neat color SSTV image of some town (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 92.1, July 8 at 1807 UT check, KAMG-LP Enid is still emitting dead
air; what a crock! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1885 monitoring: confirmed Saturday July 8 at 2230 on
WBCQ 9330.02v-CUSB (after IS & ID loop from 2227 tune-in, drifting down from
9330.04v; followed at 2300 by an `Allan Weiner Worldwide` playback on 9330.00).
Also confirmed Sat July 8 at 2300 on WRMI, 11580, fair. Also confirmed UT
Sunday July 9 at 0200 on WRMI, 11580, fair. Also confirmed UT Sunday July 9 at
0335 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, at the Indonesia item about 9 minutes in, which means
it started circa 0326. Next:
Sun 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Mon 0300v WBCQ 5130v Area 51 to WSW
Mon 0330 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Mon 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Tue 0030 WRMI 7730 to WNW
Tue 2130 WRMI 9455 to WNW, 15770 to NE
Tue 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Wed 1030 WRMI 5850 to NW, 9455 to WNW
Wed 1315 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. 5950, July 9 at 0037, WRMI as usual poor here aimed south in Spanish,
mentions ``checoeslovaco`` so likely either R. Praga or R. Eslovaquia
Internacional. Skedgrid shows it`s the latter, with more 5950 added at
0100-0130, `Creciendo en Gracia`. Full sked of 5950 includes 0000-0030 AWR
Cuba; 2300-2400 F?mily Radio; 2200-2300 RAE in Spanish; 1100-1200 AWR Cuba (but
second half at 1130 is really full of DX programs alternating: Wavescan, Antena
DX, Frecuencia al D?a) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9475, July 9 at 0031, WTWW-1 is quite weak at S5, and JBM; while all
other frequencies, 9930, 5085 and 12105 are off.
At 0100 I find that 5085, WTWW-2 has just come on, with rock music and ham ad,
0102 opening `Theater Organ from the Ozarx`. Strangely: on the PL-880 this has
an annoying big hum, but not so much on the NRD-545. The Tecsun is on battery
only of course, so I walk around the house and even outside to find no change
in hum level, so not picking up some local device.
I conclude the hum is really being transmitted, but the NRD filters it down
and/or has less bass frequency response, especially to headphones or external
speaker, than the hi-fi speaker of the PL-880, which in this case is a
disadvantage. Hard for me to judge the pitch but maybe 120 Hz = 2 x 60 Hz AC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5050, UT Sunday July 9 at 0034, WWRB`s limited transmission is on
with usual hateful anti-pope rant; 0120 recheck, it`s already off, circa 0100*?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 4840, UT Sunday July 9 at 0036, WWCR-3 in dead air --- but it`s just
a very long pause in the manner of speaking by `Ken in the Bronx`. PDF skedgrid
still has wrong time conversion, showing 7 pm Central as = 0100 UT instead of
0000! belying WWCR`s true objective to be a domestic rather than international
SW broadcaster (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VIETNAM [non]. 7315, UT Sunday July 9 at 0050, VOV in Spanish via WRMI, YL
announcer with very heavy Vietnamese accent, yet named ``Carmen``, introducing
mailbag hosted by OM with no such accent, acknowledging four reports from Juan
Franco Crespo, Spain, and the rest mostly Cubans, into basic geography lesson
about Vietnam (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5965.1 at 0038 July 9, JBA carrier drifting down to 5964.80 by
0039.5, and 5963.8 by 0043; RTM Brasil? Or a birdie. Similar one on 6140.8 also
going down at 0043 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6900.0-LSB, July 9 at 0045, first hearing a mixture in AM mode, I
find two different Spanish QSOs on LSB and USB. One of them suggests a QSY to
15 arriba; USB one whistles and exclaims, ``qu? b?rbaro`` = how mean (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11435-USB, July 9 at 1255, JBA presumed Indonesian QSO pirate
breaking into song (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
