** ANGUILLA. 6090, UT Monday Aug 27 at 0048, no signal from Caribbean Beacon,
which is normally active on UT Mondays and Tuesdays only. I think I did hear
11775 earlier during the day on Sunday Aug 26 as I tuned around, but not
logged. That should also be on daytime Aug 27. See also USA: WWCR 5935 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9630.5, Aug 27 at 0051, very poor signal in Brazuguese, R.
Aparecida, one of few signals on band during propagation disturbance, stronger
than 9395 & 9955 WRMI degraded to JBA carriers, but less than 9570, CRI via
Albania at S4-S5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 6173.92, Aug 27 at 0049, JBA carrier on the signature off-frequency of
Radio Tawantinsuyo, which Anker Petersen recently confirmed active using a
South American SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA [and non]. 11904.9, August 27 at 0055, SLBC is S1 but some S Asian
music audible, better than I usually hear it from *0031v. It also cuts off
early during song at 0058:09*. Strange trans-polar propagation as not yet
recovered from major geomag storm. Not much else on 25m except 11780 Brasil the
SSOB at S5-S7 but undermodulated, and stronger than any attenuated Cubans
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1944 monitoring: confirmed by Ivo Ivanov,
Bulgaria: ``GERMANY, Reception of World of Radio via HLR on 9485-CUSB, August
26:
http://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2018/08/reception-of-world-of-radio-via-hlr-on_26.html
1030-1100 on 9485 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg to CeEu English Sun, weak to fair; Wrong
frequency announcement:"...HLR SW Sce on 7265 kHz", instead of 9485!``
Major geomagnetic storm and aftermath made the already weak 7780 WRMI a JBA
carrier or less, for the scheduled WOR times, so unconfirmed Sunday August 26
at 2130 and UT Monday August 27 at 0130.5; but the latter also on 5850, still
propagating very well and confirmed there. (The normally inbooming other 7s
from WRMIBS, 7570 & 7730 are also quite weakened.) WOR also confirmed UT Monday
August 27 starting at 0302 on Area 51 webcast; 0327 check of 5129.8 WBCQ finds
a JBA carrier. 9955 WRMI was JBA carrier too, virtually inaudible, so not
checked further, but 0330 WOR confirmed during WRMI webcast at 0345, and also
at 0427 for the immediate webcast-only playback from 0400 --- but the webcast
audio is way low, barely registering but quite audible with volume all the way
up. Next:
Mon 2330 WBCQ 9330v to WSW [maybe]
Tue 0030 WRMI 7730 to WNW
Tue 2030 WRMI 7780 to NE, 5950 to WNW [or #1945?]
Tue 2130 WRMI 5950 to WNW [or #1945?]

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7570, Aug 26 at 2337, surprised to hear WRMI in Spanish here, gospel
huxter. Supposed to be Overcomer from 2300, and has been only in English
whenever on. Maybe F?mily Radio which this hour is supposed to be on 5010 only
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5935, Aug 27 at 0045, WWCR with PMS from TUN, but mixed with
crackling which splatters up to 10 kHz plus and minus. Meanwhile, Anguilla 6090
is missing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5050, Aug 27 at 0059, dead air, then YL opening gospel huxter show
from North Carolina, but hard to understand very lofi modulation, then cutting
out and in. S9+50 signal anyway from WWRB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 830, UT Monday Aug 27 at 0108 UT, Spanish tropi-rap (real term for
particular genre unknown), 0111 YL ID as ``Fabulosa, 830 y 97.5``, which means
it`s the expected WFNO Norco LA (address in Metairie), 5000/750 watts U4, and
the FM is mere translator K248BB. Totally dominating channel, no sign of WCCO
MN, too far into the subauroral zone with high K-index (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 840, UT Monday Aug 27 at 0106 UT, opening headlines teasing
`Perspective` from ABC, YL anchor, stingers. Haven`t heard this weekly
newsmagazine in ages. Must be WHAS Louisville KY, perhaps a reliable time for
it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1550, re my unID jazz station August 26 at 0635 UT, Greg Hardison,
CA, replies: ``Glenn, anything is possible from WAZX Smyrna, GA. Remote
monitoring has shown this thing to be on one day, silent the next, then on
again, et al. -- with programming in Spanish, Vietnamese, continuous Classic
Rock, et al, et al. Nothing is keeping WAZX from trying its hand at Jazz (which
would be a notable improvement to the highly religious/right wing Atlanta AM
dial); the 50 kW daytime authorization does get out rather well. Just sayin'. -

** ANGUILLA. 6090, Aug 27 at 0626, Caribbean Beacon is still off like earlier
this evening, even tho it`s UT Monday when normally active running all night.
But who needs it? 5935 WWCR is VG S9+20. Day frequency 11775 also off at 1404
check. 6090 still off Aug 28 circa 0045 when it is normally on for a few more
hours into UT Tuesday. Still no sign of it here on MW 1610, nor has anyone else
reported it to my knowledge (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL [and non]. 11686, Aug 27 at 1955, approx. center of big dirty
distorted FM blob spanning some 10 kHz --- I bet it`s RNA/RNB way out of whack
again, and indeed missing from 11780-AM (but there is a JBA carrier, presumed
VOA Botswana until 2000). R75 reads 11686 S5-S6 in FM mode, S7-S8 in AM mode.
Even in FM tuning, it`s very distorted but partially readable, improving at
fade-ups.
At 2000 yes, it`s Brazuguese, mentions ``Nacional`` ID and news headlines; 2003
mentions R?dio Nacional Amaz?nia, 2004 listing a number of kHz of outlets, but
certainly not this one!! 11686 is 94 kHz down from 11780, so I wonder if there
will be another FM blob 2 x 94 = 188 kHz down around 11592? There is a noise
peak, but probably unrelated, and no others found in or around 25m. Recheck at
2054, still 11686 and gaining strength, and still no 11780.
11686-FM not rechecked again until 0020 UT August 28, and is still there at S9.
This time I`m on the NRD-545 which seems to demodulate the FM distortion a bit
more clearly. At 0038 the DJs are greeting Boa Vista, Roraima (now overflowing
with Venezuelan refugees), and also to camioneros all over Brasil (truck
drivers; they should all be equipped with Motobr?s SW radios). 0056 talking
about Par?. RNA will probably remain on 11686 until s/off, circa 0300*? But
what about tomorrow? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6100, Aug 27 at 0626, RHC English (presumed) is a JJBBA carrier, while
6165, 6060 and 6000 are merely JBA carriers, as major geomag storm has blacked
out signals even as far south as 23 degrees north beyond the Tropic of Cancer,
like all of Cuba. Not blaming RHC this time; or should I? TN signals on 5935 &
5830, further north and less than half as far, remain S9+10 to 20, while in
some other less disturbed nightmiddles, they are losing out as Cuba remains
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 11860, Monday August 27 at 1404, Radio Mart? is running atop
jamming, after another weekend off, as it starts its third week on this new
frequency honoring Fidel. Recheck 2055, it is also *still* colliding directly
with RHC which started 11860 in April, the two making a SAH of about 6 Hz, and
taking turns fading up & down vs the other, and now not much noise jamming
audible. Yet there are plenty of open frequencies on 25m. How much longer will
this go on? A battle to the death --- or no one at either service notices
and/or cares? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11980, Aug 28 at 0035, JBA carrier with traces of talk, RHC spur? I
try but just too weak, can`t make a modulation match to loud 12000; but I do
compute that this could well be a leapfrog of RHC 11700 over 11840 (which are
both confirmed on & strong), another 140 kHz higher; a new one for me. No
fundamentals on 11980 are known at this hour to HFCC or Aoki/NDXC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 5040, Aug 28 at 0042, RHC is AWOL from this but 5025 Rebelde
is VG with b?isbol. Its only 5+ MHz companion is 5010 WRMI, always weak, as no
US stations are to be heard on 5050 WWRB, 5085 WTWW, nor 5130 WBCQ! Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6870, Aug 28 at 0027, weak AM carrier, off & on, up to S7-S8,
off & on again, 0028 song starts; still at 0050 hard rock. Only two reports
here,
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,45484.0.html
the first one saying it`s Mix Radio at 0125-0157+, no one having heard it
earlier when I did --- if it`s the same one (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1944 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday August 28 at
0030 on WRMI 7730, VG S9+35. Next:
