** BOLIVIA. 5935/5936, Sept 26 at 2315, again no trace of a signal from R. Yura, tho several off-frequency 49m ZY carriers are detectable, including the one below 5940, as well as Pio Doce on 5952.4+. I shall be interested whether the South Americans were still hearing it yesterday and today. (Some editors will hasten to throw out these non-logs, so far, despite my attempt to be helpful for others in publicizing this) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 12085, Sept 26 at 2315, poor signal with heavy flutter, uncertain language, a Russian word here and there? but EiBi shows this hour only is CRI in Mongolian via Xi`an site. That could be confusing, as 12085 used to be a VOM frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 6000, Sept 26 at 0614 check of RHC English: this frequency`s music is suptorted, but all the others are better: 6060 OK; 6100 very good at S9+20, 6145 S9+20/30 with best mod of all for quite a change; tomorrow, who knows? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. Sept 26 at 2320, 25m is full of hi-power RHC signals, diffusing three different programs, so I go looking for all the leapfrog mixing products as I previously uncovered --- but none are heard now! Have they filtered them out? Would not give RadioCuba that much credit; there must be some other explanation. Instead I read the S-meter on the fundamentals: 11950: S9+35 with Mesa Redonda 11880: S8, English, unusually weak, really 11840: S9+30, mainstream Spanish, with some hum like on all of them: 11830 & 11850, very weak parasites as always from 11840 11760: S9+25, ms Spanish 11670: S9+20, ms Spanish 11580 – WRMI with no QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GERMANY. 15449.884, Sept 26 at 1425, weak talk sounds like SW Asian language, some hum past 1430 brief music break, song with heavy beat. Way off frequency; to compensate for Turkey on plus side earlier? HFCC shows at 1400-1600 it`s IBB = Radio Liberty in Tajik, 100 kW, 105 degrees via Biblis. Is it unusual for this site to be so out of whack? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUINEA. 9650, Sept 26 at 0606, Qur`an at S9, reminding me that RTG has not been coming in this well lately; seemingly ecumenical, also reported elsewhen with Christian programming, but no promos heard for Ron Reagan`s Freedom From Religion Foundation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** HAWAII. 6501-USB, Sept 26 at 0609, robotic masculine marine weather info, consisting of geo coordinates and millibar readings above 1000, conveying verbally a barometric map? But quite distorted modulation, which any SSB ham would be ashamed of, but not the USCG. Could not make out any locations mentioned, but EiBi`s schedule for 6501 shows NMO Honolulu at 0600-0635, time-shared with Chesapeake, Guam and Kodiak (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 532.5 & 650.8, Sept 26 at 2335 UT, steady unmodulated carriers. On a hunch, I calculate the difference, 118.3 kHz, and check for some others at the same separation: there they are! On 769.1 and 887.4, at least. I don`t have any other radio encended but this NRD-545, so suspect these are internally generated, altho unnoticed before: Yes: starting with 118.3 kHz itself on the LW band; but wait: try switching from the Wellbrook to the notverylongwire, and they go away, so it`s really the ALA-330S producing them; but, why? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PERU. 5980, Sept 26 at 2314, JBA carrier from R. Chaski is already audible, but recheck at 2332 is already too late, as they must have reset the timer earlier. Next chance must start monitoring no later than 2330.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A.
