** ECUADOR. 6050, Oct 18 at 0611, very poor signal, but sounds like Spanish
intonation, i.e. HCJB on extended schedule, rather than ELWA Liberia, which
opens at 0526 in English, and which I never hear. Horst Rosiak of HCJB, via
Wolfgang B?schel indicated that HCJB`s control system was failing to turn off
the transmitter at the usual 0233*. Meanwhile HCJB has been heard well as far
as Bryan Clark`s New Zealand, as late as 0800 so staying on all-night (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 7380.040, Oct 19 at 0158, JBA carrier with flutter, presumed AIR
Sindhi service, per NDXC, 0100-0200, 100 kW, 282 degrees from Delhi (Kingsway).
7375 Romania was not a problem, but just before blasted away by WHRI 7835 from
*0200 (while at 0300-0930+1130, 7380 is occupied by Air Chennai in Hindi).
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 6089.917, Oct 18 at 0609, JBA carrier, presumed the reactivated
FRCN Kaduna, which Wolfgang B?schel reported until 0610 fade Oct 10 wandering
slightly around 6089.914. Had been off the air for 13 months. (Now a bit late
for Amhara, Ethiopia, which is also reported to be much closer to 6090 within 1
to 2.5 Hz below). Anguilla, of course, is still off. (At 0618, WWV reported K
index of 2, no storms past or future) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 94.3 FM, Oct 18 at 2018 UT tune-in, find that local KLGB-LP is
off, then cuts on with rock praise music in English, cuts off and on and off;
while off at 2021, I hear a talking gospel huxter, with airplane scatter
surges, `Money Wise` call-in advice with a Christian angle, presumably Bott`s
100 kW KVCW Kingman KS. Other Enid LP, KVBN 99.9 from the same tower as KLGB,
continues uninterrupted with country gospel in English, auto timecheck at 2019
UT as ``3:18``. Recheck at 0058 UT Oct 19, KLGB still/again off (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 13740, Oct 19 at 1340, Chuck Berry song outroed at 1342 by YL in
Russian, what?? RRI as IDed in passing at 1346 after sounders. This hour is 300
kW, 52 degrees from Tsiganeshti, yet one of few decent signals on band over
here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1899 monitoring: protracted internet outage
at Okeechobee prevented new WOR 1900 from airing immediately, so 1899 playbacks
continued: WOR 1899 confirmed Wednesday October 18 at 1030 on WRMI 5850, good,
while // 9455 JBA. Also confirmed Wed Oct 18 after 1315 on WRMI 9955, good.
WORLD OF RADIO 1900 confirmed Wed Oct 18 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490, fair. Also
confirmed Wed Oct 18 at 2330 on WBCQ 9330.280v-CUSB, poor-fair. Internet
restored to WRMI sometime Oct 18, so #1900 from Oct 19 should now be airing,

** U S A. 17775, Oct 18 at 1825, KVOH remains weak S8-S9, and no spurs
detectable; much weaker than Spain 17715 S9+10 and 17855 S9+20; and even
Madagascar 17640 S9+10/20.
17775, Oct 19 at 1636 check, KVOH back to bigsig S9+20, still no spurs beyond
splash 17770-17780; keep it up! Carrier wobbles slightly and somewhat
overmodulated distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15610, Oct 18 at 1829, NO signal from WEWN English, must be off;
12050 Spanish is S9+20. Recheck at 2003, still no 15610.
15610, 12050, Oct 19 at 1355, WEWN missing not only from day frequencies, but
also from night frequencies 5810, 11520. Recheck at 1636, still no 15610 or
12050 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15555-USB, Oct 18 at 2004, WJHR is on but JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5072, 5085 & 5098, UT Thu Oct 19 at *0206, as I tune in, WTWW-2 and
its spurs blast on the air amid a ham radio discussion without Ted about
digital modes. No telling whether a brief or lengthy interruption/late sign-on
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1540, Oct 19 at 1312 UT, surf forecast, KGBC ID and song. This 2.5 kW
transmitting from Galveston Island really gets out; easily separable from YL
talker, presumably Ingraham on KXEL. Just after I had checked 1520 for KYND,
but too far gone under KOKC to tell whether still running the promo loop (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6185, Oct 18 at 2012, JBA carrier, which I continue to assume
most likely is coming from XEPPM, barely making it in daytime, and maybe not
modulating this early but transmitting.
However, NDXC/Aoki shows a couple of Europeans possibly with remnants this
early: 1900-2000 RTI German, 250 kW, 114 degrees via UK; and 2000-2100, CRI
Arabic, 150 kW, 193 degrees via Albania; neither at a good azimuth for us
