** BRAZIL. 11856.763, May 31 at 0619, VP S4-S5 music, as R. Aparecida has varied way up to here, not only above nominal 11855, but above 11856 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [non?]. 11895, May 31 at 0617, poor signal, talk in Chinese? HFCC, Aoki/NDXC and EiBi agree that during this hour we have CRI in English via Kashgar, East Turkistan, 209 degrees for Pakistan; and RFA in Mandarin, 78 degrees via Kuwait for C&E China; and except for HFCC, which Sees No Evil, therefore jamming, which EiBi labels as CNR1 or Firedrake. Anyhow, something from over there is midnightly propagating solsticeally (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 6165, May 31 at 0211, RHC English is OFF, leaving only 6000 which is S9+10/20 but as usually, undermodulated. 6060 Spanish is also OFF. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 12200, May 31 at 0612, RHC English good at S8-S9, just as readable as its fundamental 6100, S9+10/20, a nice indicator that the MUF is up, despite no RHC or WRMI fundamentals on 25m. Back on 49m, 6000 & 6060 are still AWOL, while 6165 is JBM at S9-S7. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 11860, May 31 at 0618, weak S1 residual noise jamming audible, on a Radio Martà frequency active only in the daytime. Something`s always excessive at the DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MADAGASCAR [and non]. 5009.931, May 31 at 0332, JBA carrier, presumed RNM on signature off-frequency; checking after Zanzibar 6015; then I tune 5915 for Zambia but nothing there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 6185, May 31 at 0251, XEPPM with good modulation for a change in a song, S9/+10. This season there is no Vatican or anything else to collide all evening here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NORTH AMERICA. 7440-7615, May 31 at 0335 and later, nothing from Station YHWH, which Ron Howard and Walt Salmaniw have heard reactivated after many months on 7480, 7495 sporadically around this time last few nights. I remember he once used 7615 too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1230, May 31 at 0155 UT, looking for DX in absence of WBBZ Ponca City, but now it`s after sunset when there is plenty of other QRM: briefly atop is a Rangers silly baseball game, 0156 break for ad, but if local cannot copy it. DF seems NNW/SSE. Texas Rangers provides map and station list on one page as of 5.21.19! https://content.mlb.com/documents/5/4/8/302771548/2019_Map_Rangers_Radio_Network_Coverage_Area.pdf On 1230, there are two: KSEY Haskell TX, near Wichita Falls, SSW of here, W of Arlington KSST Sulphur Springs, in NE TX, SE of here, E of Arlington (but in Waco not on KWTX), so KSST is more likely by DF. I am no station-counter so less than 100% certainty is no problem. It is what it is (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ZANZIBAR. 6015, May 31 at 0328:50 tune-in, presumed ZBC is already on, as I was hoping to catch its cut-on, which Ron Howard says is now around 0330, JIP programming after official sign-on at 0300. S9 but I can`t hear much modulation. Others report their other frequency 11735 active but weak; I used to hear it before 2100v* but not any more (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1759 UT May 31 _ 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.
