** CANADA. 15034-USB, May 28 at 1445, Trenton Military, CHR ``no report received`` from Halifax, Gander, Greenwood, Shearwater; but has heard from Bagotville as of 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15369.25, May 28 at 2122, JBA carrier; must be the RHC transmitter previously caught knocked off a similar amount below 13740 and 7380 upon occasion. 15370 is the European service scheduled 1930-2300 per EiBi. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 11760, May 28 at 2126 RHC Spanish is S9 but suptorted; wiggle that patchcord. While 11850 is undermodulated but not distorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 5040, UT Wed May 29 at 0538, this RHC English frequency, S9+30/20, is the only listenable one with normal modulation level, altho somewhat rough during `DXers Unlimited` as Arnie runs lickety- split and slurred with something about a 52-cm antenna, soon finishing. I had already checked: 6000 JBM/suptorted at S9+10/20; 6060 OFF; 6100 JBM S9+30; 6165 JJBBM S9+10. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 1230, May 28 at 2115 UT and May 29 at 1333, WBBZ Ponca City still completely off the air, probably due to flooding. This is supposedly the website, with nothing about it, forwarded here after clicking on a 1230 link! https://www.poncapost.com/sunny-104-7 See also UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 1580, May 28 circa 1400 UT, KOKB Blackwell is still dead air on open carrier. At least it is on the air, altho accomplishing nothing. In previous report under USA daytime bandscan, I called it KLTR! It`s really been KOKB since --- 3/20/84, 35 years ago. Oops. Fixed: 1580, KOKB Blackwell OK, now it`s 1909 UT, dead air, while sibling 1020 KOKP Perry OK is nominal. There has been flooding in Blackwell. But why? Somehow the program feed from Stillwater studio has been cut. Why not turn off the transmitter in the meantime? Maybe site is inaccessible by flooding, and/or there is no funxional remote control --- now or never? Still on with dead air at 2115 UT check May 28, and at 1333 UT May 29. Nothing about this found on the website https://www.eteamradio.com/ Flooding in Blackwell is still reported May 29 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SAO TOME. 9830, May 28 at 0642, poor signal in African language. HFCC Shows Deutsche Welle in Hausa this semihour only, 100 kW at 0 degrees, i.e. north toward Nigeria rather than non-direxional? Just like another broadcast on same at 1800-1900 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SPAIN. 12030, May 28 at 2128 REE in music but not // 9690 & 11940, altho all are scheduled in Spanish, 12030 being the odd one with ME target, even tho it`s always better here off the back, than 11940 for South America. At 2130, 12030 5+1 TS, into Arabic, ``Huna Madrid`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1983 monitoring: what will happen Wednesday May 29 at 2100? Will WRMI come on 9955 and stay on? Will WBCQ play 1982 or 1983 on 7490+v at 2100 and/or 2130? More predictable will be UT Thursday May 30 at 0100 on WRMI 7780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5830, May 29 at 0533, S9+30/40 of dead air from SFAW via WTWW-1, still so at 0545 check. Coincidentally, 5935, WWCR-2 also dead air of S9+20/30 at 0537, but resumed PMS by 0545. At least 5890 dead air is not on now. BTW, WWCR skeds at http://www.wwcr.com/transmitter-sched.html expire May 31. From June 1 there could be some adjustments in timespans, which in this version are complete as if 24 hours on each, even tho program skeds admit much less usage, especially of WWCR-4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1070-, May 28 at 2115 UT, and May 29 at 1333 UT, KFTI Wichita KS is still off the air. Nothing about this at website https://www.classiccountry1070.com/ which even still refers to its old call KFDI! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 1230, trying to get some DX while semi-local WBBZ Ponca City is off; at least KADA. Best times will be circa SR/SS for nearby skywave but not full of graveyard QRM. May 28 at 1408 UT is really too late, but I do detect two or three JBA carriers. May 29 at 0058, vs storm noise from SE OK, have some music looping NW/SE as Ada would be; NRC AM Log says format is rock as ``Pirate Radio 102.3``; at 0102 end Fox News theme from N/S. Guess what, there is not a single 1230 in Kansas. Two in Nebraska, neither listed as Fox. Texas? Ten, of which two are SS, and the only TX Fox in the Log is KWTX Waco, but that`s hardly enough to go on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 9200, May 29 at 0548, mystery open carrier at S8; it`s the second SSOB as 31m is almost dead except for good 9700 NZ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1828 UT May 29 _ 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.
