** BRAZIL. 11780, Aug 20 at 0202, RNA/RNB is still on with bigsig; so I check
what else there may be: 11815 JBA carrier presumed RBC and almost on-frequency;
No signal 11855-11856 from R. Aparecida.
Later I survey and measure what`s on 31m:
9630.540, Aug 20 at 0557, music, VP S5-S8 from R. Aparecida.
NO signals circa 9665, 9675
9819.675, Aug 20 at 0600, JBA carrier from R. Nove de Julho
9725.333, Aug 20 at 0601, JBA, R. Evangelizar
9564.939, Aug 20 at 0606, JBA, SRDA is least off-frequency
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5040, Aug 20 at 0153 and still/again at 0547 check, RHC is AWOL from
here. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 12000, Aug 20 at 1314, RHC Spanish is S4-S6: must be 2 x 6000 which is
S8/S9+10; both off at 1354. Only other 25m RHC now is big 11760. Something`s
always wrong at RHC. It does employ 12000 as a fundamental in the tardes, with
a much stronger and dirtier signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 11860, Monday August 20 at 1356, lite pulse jamming vs JBA
carrier, presumed poor Yemen [non]. 1357 jamming level is ramping up, but
*1400:45 mostly blocked by big S9+10 carrier from Greenville, 1402:55 JIP Radio
Mart? modulation well over jamming. So my ``unlikely`` hypothesis with previous
report of no RM on 11860, Aug 18-19, Saturday & Sunday, proves to be correct:
they are running 11860 on weekdays only, and presumably will again collide
head-on with RHC by 1930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KIRITIMATI. 846, Aug 20 at 0616, JJBBA carrier from R. Kiribati (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 362 kHz, Aug 20 at 0219, NDB ID as OWP is one I can copy in quick
check vs summer noise level. It`s 25 watts at William Pogue airport, Sand
Springs, near Tulsa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1210, Aug 20 at 0214 UT, KGYN Guymon with S9+25 bigsig during talk
show, obviously not nulling toward Philadelphia; in fact it`s stronger than
1200 WOAI before fading a bit. KGYN is supposed to be 10/10 kW, ND-day,
DA-night; and still has a CP for 50/39/10 kW DA3 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 13565, Aug 20 at 0206, K6FRC beacon from California is JBA vs CODAR
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1943 monitoring: barely confirmed August 19
at 2136 the new Sunday 2130 on WRMI 7780; we hope it was much better up the
east coast if not Europe. Also confirmed UT Monday August 20 from 0130.5 on WRN
to North America webcast. Also confirmed at 0146 UT Monday August 20 the 0130.5
on WRMI 5850, S9+30/40 and 7780 S7-S9. Also confirmed UT Monday August 20 from
0301 on Area 51 webcast, and fair at 0314 check on WBCQ 5129.8v; also confirmed
at 0342 on WRMI webcast of 9955 from 0330, and immediate repeat from 0400 on
webcast only at 0423 check. Next:
Mon 2330 WBCQ 9330v to WSW [maybe]
Tue 0030 WRMI 7730 to WNW
Tue 2030 WRMI 7780 to NE, 5950 to WNW [or #1944?]
Tue 2130 WRMI 5950 to WNW [or #1944?]
Full schedule for WOR on all outlets, not just SW; podcast linx:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5129.8, Aug 20 at 0547, no signal from WBCQ, presumed off as at least
a carrier should be detectable. Fortunately it was on for WORLD OF RADIO 2.8
hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5830, August 20 at 0147, WTWW-1 remains OFF, clearing the channel for
a uteblaap.
5085, August 20 at 0154, WTWW-2 is only active frequency, Ted ad for
http://carshortwaveradio.com I have not heard before, during DJ show, back to
John Edwards. This is the BST-1 I have and use every drive. I got it for
review. For me the drawbacks are: no way for direct frequency entry: you have
to set up memories, or switch to up or down tuning (and you better be parked);
I don`t have RDS so no visual display of frequencies or axions; frequencies may
be ``displayed`` by Morse code numbers on demand (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15665-15670-15675, Monday August 20 at 1350, WINB DRM is on again,
but extremely assymetrical; sounding like ``normal`` DRM noise on the USB, but
quite rougher and louder on the LSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1430, Aug 20 at 0213 UT, KZQZ (kay-zee-cue-zee) 1430 ID amid rock
music just as I intune. Checking this whether it`s really the St Louis station
I was hearing during the WION defacto DX test, so yes, it was, despite null
meward in NRC Pattern Book. Is this still correct, per FCC AM Query? The 5 kW
night field strength plot just redated August 17, 2018!
https://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/1513373-119319.pdf
still shows deep nulls toward the SW and NE, major lobe NNW and secondary lobe
SSE --- while 50 kW day pattern is quite the reverse, ENE and WSW lobes with
only null toward the SSE:
https://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/1513373-119318.pdf
so I conclude they are really running day pattern and probably day power, at
night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4810, Aug 20 at 0549, JBA carrier vs the utehash on hi side,
intriguing; it`s fading a bit so seems genuine, and could not be a MW harmonic.
Certainly not India or Armenia, neither scheduled nor propagable at this hour.
Aoki/NDXC has one other 4810, Radio Logos, Chazuta, Per?, supposedly at
0900-2400 but seemingly inactive.
Last report of it was in a 60m survey by Daniel Wyllyans, Brasil: ``4810 kHz,
10 Mar. 2018, 0035, Radio Logos, Voz masculina no idioma espanhol falando do
livro da B?blia de Mat?us e sobre nossos pecados; recep??o aud?vel, 34232``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Re the DRMish noise I have been hearing above 7555 while AIR is
DRMing on 7545-7550-7555, Noel Green, England, replies Aug 19:
``There certainly is something else, and it's been there for a long time. If
memory serves me correctly, it is connected with the French navy unless there
has been a change meanwhile. It is now a digital (STANAG?) type signal, but
previously used to operate with a different system [and noise]. I've searched a
couple of files but can't find it listed there. Aoki etc. doesn't list it but
I'm fairly certain that they used to do so. The exact frequency is difficult to
determine as it spreads from about 7551.8 to about 7557.6, and whenever I tune
around there, it is always on air --- like now at 1730 UT [Sunday]. Perhaps
this is what you're hearing? 73 from Noel Green, England``
Aoki doesn`t list pure utilities; EiBi does but mostly voice or fax modes
