NEWISH! DX LISTENING DIGEST IN PDF, HTML VERSIONS
Jacques Champagne in Ville-Marie, Qu?bec, has developed programs to
convert DXLD .txt into PDF and HTML versions for his own use, and now
has made them available to the rest of us. Starting with 18-24, they have
been posted as attachments to the WOR iog. He says it takes about an
hour to do this, once each issue is published. Merci, Jacques!
NOTE: If you are a regular reader of DXLD, and a source of DX news but
have not been sending it directly to us, please consider yourself
obligated to do so. Thanks, Glenn

** INDIA. 7555, Aug 11 at 0027, weak DRM noise seems centered here, not 7550,
but AIR has reactivated its DRM after a sesquiyear, allegedly on 7545-7550-7555
until 0045 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Re previous report on K17JN-D Enid, wondering about
3ABN, I found this website explaining the 3 Angels stuff, but apparently
dedicated to debunking Adventism in general; surprise2, it seems the SDA have
contempt for other Christians, but aim at sidetracking existing Christian
converts rather than reaching the totally unchurched:
BIBLE TRUTH VERSUS ADVENTIST TRUTH
https://www.nonsda.org/study1.shtml
As of 0301 UT August 11, K17JN-D is same as before, black screen on 17-2 and
17-6
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES [non?]. 9645, Aug 11 at 0019, S9-S7 tonal SE Asian language,
rustic music. Aoki/NDXC still shows RVA in Kachin at 0000-0027, like in WRTH
2018, but RVA has supposedly self-destructed. Could it be that some services
still remain? Only thing else at this hour would be CNR1 Beijing in Chinese,
but this is certainly not Mandarin. Another possibility: Kachin, or whatever,
moved to SMG VATICAN site, reception of which here and now at this level would
be more likely than from Palauig (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 9730, Aug 10 at 0016, RRI in English, // weaker 7375, the latter
with light pulse jamming, since last season it was in use briefly by Radio
Mart?; such are the risks of ever using an ex-Mart? channel.
One of the 300 kW Tsiganeshti transmitters had been off the air since July 28
with technical issues, and 9730 was reported as one of the missing frequencies
as this and other hours to North America. See DXLD 18-32 for schedule and
discussion. The frequency is back, but they could have switched transmitters
around, or brought up the 100 kW at Saftica which was available.
7395, Aug 10 at 0017, the simultaneous Romanian service of RRI is still here,
but sounds like a clash with something in English, not // 9730. The mix finally
stops, leaving Romanian only, so I conclude it was a clumsy voice-over with the
underaudio way too loud.
Nominally during the 00-01 hour we have two frequencies in English, 7375 //
9730 via Tsiganeshti, and two in Romanian, 7395 // 9790 via Galbeni per EiBi.
But next night August 11 at 0027 we have 7395 but 9790 is missing, while both
English frequencies are on again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA. 11904.9, Aug 10 at *0031:16.5, SLBC JBA carrier on, timesignal
unknown, but then some JBA music. Seems this never gets started on time or even
ahead of time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 418 kHz, Aug 10 at 0545 UT, I brave the storm noise level on MW to
detect an NDB, ID as IY --- that`s Charles City, Iowa; I am really tuned to
417-USB where it`s best copied (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5000; Whenever precise timings are needed, such as with Sri Lankan
sign-ons, I have to calculate a correxion factor to my watch which keeps
gaining little by little, and is difficult to reset; so of course I tune to
WWV, its most important funxion among many.
Now WWV, WWVB and WWVH are threatened with extinxion thanks to the corrupt,
incompetent, anti-science, Drumpf budget request for next year, as revealed on
the NIST website (which has been up for six months), just discovered by Richard
Langley:
https://www.nist.gov/director/fy-2019-presidential-budget-request-summary/fundamental-measurement-quantum-science-and
``Illustrative program reductions in FY 2019
-$6.3 million supporting fundamental measurement dissemination, including
the shutdown of NIST radio stations in Colorado and Hawaii``
Maybe that`s why they have started announcing their phone numbers every hour?
But why haven`t they been sounding the alarm on the air about closing down the
broadcasts??? It`s *time* to get on congress-critters about this threat. Other
vital NIST services are also under the gun (Glenn Hauser, OK, 0255 UT August

** U S A. 7490+, Aug 10 at 0038, WBCQ with some neat honky-tonk piano music
more to my taste than VORW playing a request for Stray Cats on WRMI 7730; then
another jazz piano tune, but 0045 cut to gospel huxtress in English. What`s all
this? WBCQ schedule just shows ``Available Time Slot`` for 8-9 pm EDT Thursday
--- was that an ex-VORW time too? Now not on 7490 sked at all..
7490+ // 9330.1 // 5130-, UT Sat Aug 11 at 0000, WBCQ `Allan Weiner Worldwide`
about the same on the top two, JBA on the third, but all synchronized. The
``brain trust`` are all in the studio, besides Angela, also Tom Barna and
Timtron. When AW remarx that Hillary should be in jail, I tune out at 0011.
Recheck at 0024, TimTron is monologuing about his bout with Lyme disease, how
he takes 7 meds in the morning, no alcohol but pot OK, and he is now
recovering, but has had other medical problems such as at 0030 a tick on his
dick, which the studio audience finds quite amusing. That`s all I can report
this week, and John Carver`s computer is down, so we may not hear more from him
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 6155, Aug 10 at 0000, what`s this? Huge S9+25 loud, distorted
wideband signal centered approximately here where normally there is nothing;
music, then introducing a padre on a Spanish talk show. I have quickly switched
to FM tuning mode which makes it somewhat readable, like other such spurs out
of RHC.
I suspect it`s WEWN, totally out of whack again, which is supposed to be just
starting 5970 after QSY from day frequency 12050. 6155 cuts off abruptly at
0002 before I can copy anything further. Retune to 5970 and find it S9+20 of
dead air until off at 0002:40*; back on at *0004:30, but modulation on and off.
I am 95% sure the FM blob was this same WEWN transmitter.
The Spanish program grid
http://ewtn.org/radio/sp_radio_sched.asp
is dated 2017! And fails to show UT, just local AM & PM times in Miami, Mexico
City and Buenos Aires --- but are those for DST or standard time??? Assuming
the start of the 5970 block at 0000 means 7 pm in Miami, as if it were winter,
this Thursday/UT Friday hour was/is ``Por la calzada de Ema?s``. Of course,
most of their shows could be hosted by a padre, if not by a madre; definitely
Roman Catholic, and there are not many such international SW stations in
Spanish.
24 hours later, August 10 at 2359, I`m checking again, but no show circa 6155,
just open carrier on 5970 --- and no carrier at 0033 August 11 nor yet any
6155-FM. This station is an engineering disaster (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** VIETNAM [non]. 7315, August 10 at 0010, dead air instead of Voice of Vietnam
relay in English by WHRI. 0019 retune, dead air, then praise music fill in
English starts, still no VOV. At 0036, gospel huxter in English, not VOV in
Spanish!
Next night, August 11 at 0031, VOV in Spanish has resumed. After years and
years, WHRI still has problems getting this relay on air properly. Why does
Hanoi put up with it, or do they even know, likewise the Christian ads between
VOV languages? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11802-USB, August 11 at 0012, Spanish 2-way INTRUDER immediately
whistling, talking about putas and cohetes. Almost as daring as the Free Speech
on WBCQ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 12612.30-USB, August 10 at 0023, 2-way in Spanish, only one side
heard; legit maritime communication, or pirate intruder? One never hears any
proper IDs from these, in-band or OOB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
