** ALBANIA [non]. 9395, UT Wed July 11 at 0230, WRMI starting R. Tirana relay in English, never mentioning that it is still on SW, let alone via WRMI! Had been scheduled at 0200-0230 Tue-Sat, but July 7 caught in progress at 0240. So appears to be permanent change to 0230-0300; and preceded by `Wavescan` (see also USA: WRMI). Sked grids via http://www.tinyurl.com/WRMIfqs still do not account for this. The transmission sked for 9395 shows Tirana at 0200-0230 & Oldies at 0230-0300. The supposedly more detailed program schedule below for System G shows `Wavescan` 7 days a week at 0200-0230 (or rather displayed in EDT as 2200-2230), but the adjacent block for frequency is blank, presumably meaning 9395 and/or 5950 as immediately above and below it. 0230-0300 UT allegedly Oldies daily on 9395 only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL [non]. 11780, July 11 at 1319, weak carrier seems to be open. Maybe it`s RNA, but no FM blobs circa 11727 & 11699, nor was 11780 detectable before 1300. Rather, 11780 probably CRI Kunming in Myanmarianese which starts at 1300, with neither RNA-FM nor AM today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 6000 ex-5990 // 6100 ex-6099.238, July 10 at 1255, RHC Spanish on proper frequencies this morning! Something`s sometimes right at RHC. 9554 approx., July 11 at 1226, filthy spur from 9570 CRI relay in Cantonese; it`s partially readable in FM mode, but not strong enough to clear up; also another about 9586. No F# tones as on the 13 MHz spurs. Very strong 9570 itself is in pure AM only. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TURKEY. 13635.041, July 11 at 0604, VOT has just opened its 7-hour Turkish broadcast toward W Europe and consequently USward beyond, S9+10 with fades to S8, Turkish talk and as customary, considerably off-frequency-plus (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1937 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday July 10 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG S9+30. Unable to confirm Tuesday July 10 at 2030 on WRMI 7780 & 5950, JBA carriers.

By 2200 only a JBA carrier. Confirmed Tuesday July 10 at 2330 on WBCQ 9329.862v, fair. Wednesday July 11 at 1030 on WRMI 5950 unchecked, zzz; did anyone hear it?

System G sked shows WS 7 days a week at 2200-2230 EDT but frequency block blank. This replaces R. Tirana, which we are now hearing during the following semihour at 0230-0300, NOT shown on schedule there. See also ALBANIA [non]. Outdated Bierman canned ID between them at 0229 claims they are on 9395 & 9455=NOT! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7504.979, July 11 at 1222, WRNO with `TruNews` in English during an hour they are customarily in Chinese, prime-time 8 pm in China, and also prime-propagation. Scattershot WRNO ``scheduling`` and still nothing specific on website since it stalled May 1. The home page, however, http://www.wrnoworldwide.com displays several other major programs, not including TruNews or any Chinese! This fake-news TV soundtrack is current, or almost so, since Rick and his accomplice are discussing the NATO summit, and bring in a correspondent from Brussels. WRNO is managing lately to stick closer to nominal, frequency measured at 1257 just before it should go off, but TruNews plays right thru hourtop with no break, as they move on to discuss Brett not being conservative enough, a Washington insider. Even AFA has come out against him. Next check at 1319, 7505v has been turned off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1533 UT July 11 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
