** ANTARCTICA [non]. The annual BBCWS winter solstice special for the
British Antarctic Survey is coming up next Friday June 21, and we have
been expecting a dry-run frequency test sometime during the preceding
week. Ivo Ivanov got the details to the WOR iog several hours ahead,
to pick the best three out of four:
June 14 at 2130-2145, so I try all four frequencies here at 2135:
7360-Ascension, JBA carrier; 9455-Woofferton, JBA S4-S6 not WRMI;
5990-UAE, JBA carrier; 5875 Woofferton, JJBBA carrier. About as
expected here way off the target.
Then at 2139 I check the same via UTwente SDR, and hear an interview
about football, maybe regular BBCWS programming at the moment: 7360
good but with pervasive Ascension hum --- Kai Ludwig wonders if that
would disqualify it? Not at all, one or two ASC transmitters remain in
full service this way, hums to Africa often audible. 9455 good with no
hum; 5875 very good; 5990 UAE however is VP, JBA back in Europe (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 11500, 11460, 11440, 11120, June 14 at 1253, and 12800 at
1259, all CNR1 jammers JBA as on the Aoki/NDXC jammed Sound of Hope
roster (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5040, June 14 at 0527, RHC in Spanish instead of English as
scheduled this hour --- maybe deliberately since there is no 49mb
Spanish all evening with 6060 transmitter gone for weeks. A breakdown,
or inexplicable scheduling change? As for what`s left of English, at
0522: 6165 S9+10 and JBM, 6100 best, 6000 undermodulated. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 13739.240, June 14 at 1301, RHC self-knocked way
off-frequency again today after quite a normal spell on 13740.00,
while // 13700 remains .00. Something or other is always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 9860, June 14 at 0505, R. Japan ID amid news in
English, good S9+10 to S8, VATICAN relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7485, June 14 at 0429, anti-Christ pirate, Station
YHWH slid up to here probably to avoid ute QRM on 7480; S9+10 vs
considerable fading and noise. Still screeding past 0502, later than
usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1986 monitoring: confirmed first US
SWBC, Friday June 14 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, good S9+10/S9 and no
jamming. Also confirmed at 0150 the 0130 UT Saturday June 15 on WRMI
7780, fair in storm noise level. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9330+, June 14 at 0428, Brother Scare on WBCQ, switched back
to the old off-frequency transmitter, after having been on the new
exact one when last checked at 0136, which was second night of testing
it, but briefer and boringer (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7490.1, UT Sat June 15 at 0002, WBCQ with ``William Tell
Overture`` theme to `Allan and Angela Weiner WorldWide``, S9+10/20 but
plenty of storm noise; also on 9330.1 ``classic`` transmitter, S9-S7,
somewhat less noise but also less signal, so S/N is slightly better on
the lower. AW says on all four frequencies tonight, but nothing
audible vs noise level on 5130+ or 3265-.
Quickly interrupted by a caller somewhere who I think was saying not
heard on 5130. Allan says the new Continental transmitter issue has
been fixed. Thal?s in France air-shipped a replacement tube ring,
which was the part that broke and leaked water. Now it has interlock
issues --- won`t operate if there is any HV danger, apparently false
positives? At this point, 0009 it`s time for me to leave for tonight`s
Enid Chautauqua performance by ``Che Guevara`` --- the actor needs
some more Spanish pronunciation instruxion.
Over to John Carver for his full report on tonight`s AAAWWW:
``Tonight's show started a few seconds early on 7490 after some fill
music. Comments over the theme said that they were broadcasting on all
frequencies this evening and there were issues with the new
transmitter. Allan and Angela in the studio. A phone call immediately
from Freddie with questions about the transmitter. Allan said that the
transmitter has been repaired after the water leak but antenna work
was ongoing.
He said that now there was a problem with the interlock mechanism on
the transmitter. Says he would like to have a transmitter that could
operate more than twelve hours before shutting down. Says it's all
damn digital crap. Way too many computers involved. He stated that for
three million dollars the damn thing should work.
He's still shooting for a start date of July 1 but says that if
antenna work isn't finished they will only be broadcasting at night so
the work on the antenna can continue during the day.
Phone call at 0029 from Canada with questions about receivers and
antennas in general. Phone call at 0039 from Ramsey commenting on the
signal strength during this past week's tests. Phone call at 0049 from
Bill Smith in prison. Says he's getting out of prison this next
Wednesday. Reading of emails at 0054 along with another phone call
from Freddie. Allan asks him to hold on so he can read the emails.
Closing prayer at 0100.
Allan mentions that 3265 will only be running Friday, Saturday and
Sundays because of operating expense. Program was off the air at 0104.
7490 was off the air at 0111 after some more music. John Mid-North
Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
