** EAST TURKISTAN. 9800, Aug 28 at 2339, soft vocal music around S4, saccharine
spiritual sound could be in English from Christian station; 2351 seg?e to
another song with rock beat, and 2358 to another with a steady MM of 120 per
minute. What could this be?
August 29 at 0000, right into CRI theme, Chinese and Spanish IDs as Radio
Internacinal de China! Also logged a biday ago as unID, overlooking that it is
in Aoki altho out of time order, as well as HFCC: 2300-0100, 500 kW, 269
degrees from Kashgar to CIRAF 14. But why would CRI Spanish waste time playing
music like that with no announcements? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 7254.94, Aug 28 at 0558, VON open carrier is on at S9+20, 0629
Hausa underway. By 0558 it should have been into drumming IS. Nothing on 9690v;
looks like I missed all the excitement about that as others were reporting 9690
instead for a day or two morning and evening (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Aug 28 at 2328, JBA carrier from presumed R. Chaski, as it`s
about time to recheck their slippery autocutoff. With BFO, hope I don`t have to
listen 12+ minutes to this vs noise level, as by now should have been reset
much closer to nominal 2330*. Around 2332 I hear a het descending, i.e. another
slightly stronger carrier closing in on Chaski. I don`t want to touch the dial
to tell from which side. Could be an ionosonde sweeping, or a NRDie. Once it
zero-beats at 2332:12, I hear nothing further, as if the Chaski carrier goes
off at the same time. Very strange coincidence. Calls for further
Chaski-checking (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1892 monitoring: confirmed Monday August 28 at 2335
the 2330 on WBCQ 9330.07v-CUSB, fair S8. Recheck at 2354 it`s more like
9330.05v. Also confirmed UT Tuesday August 29 at 0030 on WRMI, 7730, S9+30.
Wish this VG signal could be on a later day of week when there`s a new show
instead of final airing of last show. WOR 1893 should be ready for first
airings August 29, Tue at 2130 on WRMIs 9455 & 15770, 2330 on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, Aug 28 at 1428, no signal, not even a JBA carrier from WRMIBS;
all other frequencies are at least detectable: 21525, 15770, 11825, 11580,
9455, 9395, 7780. 9955 not rechecked until 2338 when it is on and discernible
in Radio Libertad Spanish under wall-of-noise jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, Monday Aug 28 at 1347, KVOH is S5, already on early in Spanish
with `Luis Palau Responde`, and La Voz de la Esperanza/SCG ID by Dino Bloise.
Maybe couldn`t wait to get started after a weekend off? Often not on or not
audible here until circa 1430 instead of nominal *1355 as still shown on pdf
program schedule grid. Webcast is always going, so if they turn on SW beyond
hours, there is always something to emit. However, Palau is not shown at that
time; maybe it was just a promo (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1590, Aug 29 at 0003 UT, looking for something Houstonic, instead
``KVGB and 97-7 FM``, a strangely worded illegal ID, from Great Bend KS,
disclaimer from Kansas City Royals, pending a silly ballgame? But first,
adstring. Your guessed it: 97.7 is a mere translator, but at least is not given
top billing, K249FA per new NRC AM Log.
Not much explicit info to be found in mainstream media about which AM stations
are doing good coverage or knocked off the air by Harvey, but about radio and
TV in general from Corpus to Lake Charles Aug 26-28:
http://www.radiodiscussions.com/showthread.php?704406-How-s-Harvey-affecting-Coastal-Bend-radio
and much more here:
http://www.radiodiscussions.com/forumdisplay.php?680-Houston-Galveston
Not to diminish the seriousness of this catastrophe, since we are getting
wall-to-wall coverage on various TV networks. Yet local OKC TV stations want to
get in on the axion by sending their own teams into the flood. Please! We`ve
got enough to keep up with in our own area. And BTW, all-news networx: the rest
of the country and the rest of the world still exist (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9236.90-LSB, 2-way in Spanish, very poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

ERITREA/ETHIOPIA/SOMALIA/SUDAN morning log at 0415-0435 UT on Aug 29,
taken in Doha Qatar Middle East remote Perseus SDR unit:
5940even new 50 kW Ethiopian Somali Regional State Radio Jijiga.
"Radio Deegaanka Soomaalida Itoobiya" checked, S=6 signal rather tiny,
poorest morning signal of the 4 Ethiopians in 49mb, at 0425 UT on Aug 29.
5949.999 - non log - ETH Voice of Tigre Revolution, Gedja, Tigre,
NOT ON AIR at 0418 UT on Aug 29, as monitored in past days.
TX is definitely in use at same time slot as
WHITE NOISE JAMMING unit in 7127-7152 kHz range against
ERI VoBM1 Radio Asmara service on 7140.020 kHz.
6029.994 ETH Radio Oromiya from Gedja, Afar at 0435 UT on Aug 29 in remote
SDR installation in Doha Qatar Middle East S=7-8 usual daytime path strength
from Ethiopia.
Rather unusal this morning:
6090.095 ... wandered downwards x.092 ETH Radio Amhara, at 0419 UT
S=7-8 strength. Local HoA mx. Looks like, the technician moved the fq
100 Hertz upper side today, when compared against Aug 27 morning
outlet from ETH.
6109.999 ETH Radio Fana from Gedja, Amharic, S=8 at 0437 UT on Aug 29.
Best signal of the 4 Ethiopians in 49mb this morning.
7119.998 on lower odd frequency side this morning. SOM Radio Hargeysa
S=9 signal, at 0422 UT on Aug 29, Somali endless talk by men.
7140.020 ERI VoBM1 Radio Asmara, S=9dB signal strength at 0427 UT
on Aug 29, talk and HoA mx, happy radio program type.
Stronger jamming when compared against 7181v, HEAVILY JAMMED by
Ethiopian security services at this time slot, in 7127-7152 kHz range.
I think, the 5950v kHz Ethiopian is used here as Jammer purpose.
7181.554 ERI center frequency of ERI VoBM2 Radio Asmara service,
S=9+15dB signal strength in Doha Qatar, stronger than 7140.020 ERI-1.
At 0428 UT on Aug 29. HoA mx, and heavy signal of
Ethiopian origin WHITE NOISE SCRATCHING AUDIO JAMMING in
7169 to 7192 kHz frequency range block.
7205.001 SDN Sudan Radio Omdurman, talk in Sudanese Arabic, S=9+15dB signal
strength at 0435 UT on Aug 29. But modulation is a little bit low,
the carrier is much stronger.
[selected SDR options, span 12.5 kHz RBW 15.3 Hertz]
