** CUBA. 6000, July 1 at 0134, S9+30/40 RHC English with song in Spanish, not // 6060 Spanish, but 6000 is just barely modulated // 6165 with good modulation at S9+40/50. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 12028.57, July 1 at 0147, suspicious JBA carrier, I bet a spur from RHC Spanish 12000, as usual overmodulated and splattering, which is S9+35 and also squealing like WEWN. So I look for a match on the opposite side, and there it is, on about 11971.38, i.e. plus/minus ~28.6 kHz. The slight disparity implies 12000 itself is slightly off-frequency-minus, but not measured. 11857.0, July 1 at 0146, just before the above I found a wavering carrier here, suspected R. Aparecida ailing, as not found anything closer to 11855; but guess what, this is minus 143 kHz from 12000 or 5 X 28.6! So there probably were more spurs every 28.6 kHz in between, and more on the high side. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-USB, July 1 at 0132, pirate music at S9+20 atop storm noise peaks at S9; just in time to hear Wolverine Radio ID at 0133, then SSTV; and presumably off as no pirates on band a few minutes later. Many more logs of it, the theme being smile, and the image being Mona Lisa: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,43918.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. The weather radar serving Enid from Kegelman Field to the NW is reported broken, http://www.enidnews.com/oklahoma/news/vance-radar-down-for-maintenance-operations-not-impacted/article_fe3948ea-681a-5565-aa31-77a56376d98c.html ``Vance radar down for maintenance; operations not impacted By James Neal Staff Writer Jun 29, 2018 The Vance Air Force Base radar currently is inoperable and awaiting repairs, but Vance officials said Thursday the maintenance isn't impacting flight operations or weather radar coverage. Terri Schaefer, Vance public affairs chief, said the radar went down on Tuesday afternoon due to a failure in the bull gear, which turns the radar. The radar is located at Kegelman Air Force Auxiliary Field, near Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge in Alfalfa County, and is operated by National Weather Service (NWS) in Norman for weather observation and tracking. Schaefer said Vance will be able to use weather coverage from overlapping weather radars in Oklahoma City and Wichita, Kan., to monitor weather coverage and ensure aircrew and public safety, and the maintenance issue with the radar at Kegelman is not impacting flight operations. Matthew Day, an NWS meteorologist, said weather coverage for northern Oklahoma and southern Kansas, which normally would be covered by the Vance radar, now is monitored by overlapping areas covered by radars in Wichita, Kan., Amarillo, Texas, Dodge City, Kan., Tulsa and Oklahoma City. Repairs to the Vance radar will require approximately 15,000 pounds of equipment and a six-person team, Day said. "We're currently working in cooperation with NOAA/NWS to get the parts in," Schaefer wrote in an email to the News & Eagle, "and then accommodate their technicians with airfield access when it comes to a repair/site visit." Day said NWS expects to have the radar repaired and back in service by July 20`` so I check this link to its display, July 1 at 0232: http://www.intellicast.com/National/Nexrad/BaseReflectivity.aspx?animate=true&location=USOK0178 And sure enough, it`s still looping but the latest date/time label is 1811 UT 26 June! The writer apparently does not consider that the radar is used by the public, not just Vance. WTFK? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1936 monitoring: confirmed Saturday June 30 at 2328, the 2300 on WRMI 7780, very poor JBA but recognizable. Likewise at 0226 UT Sunday July 1 the 0200 on WRMI 7780.

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, Friday June 29 at 2201, vamping music like the theme to RAE, and // 7780 both WRMI; not until 2203 does the informal RAE Italian sign-on start. WRMI skedgrid shows 7780 only for this, with 9395 as Oldies during the 22-23 hour. 9395 much stronger here of course, but how about Italy where this starts at local midnite? 9395 to NNW maybe for all the Italians in Toronto. Does 9395 // 7780 also apply to previous hour 21-22 M-F in German? Not necessarily, as the transmission grid with German on 7780 is System F but 7780 Italian is System G. Only monitoring will tell for sure. The System G program grid shows `Wavescan` 7 days a week at 2200-2230 on *no* frequency, surely not correct; er, maybe 100% correct, as with all the other times when WS is not scheduled? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 9535, June 29 at 0642, VP signal in English, S5-S7. After Algeria via France, with which it must have been colliding at 05-06, this must be RHC --- yes, can make it // 6165. 9535 is supposed to be in Spanish only and close at 0500*. Something`s always wrong at RHC. But not ~24 hours later at 0623 June 30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 11880, June 29 at 2158, RHC music not // 11840, 11760, 12000 Spanish service; 2159 ID opening French hour early. How early was the prélude? Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 6270, June 30 at 0627, JBA carrier from RHC leapfrog of 6060 over 6165, so I compare the fundamentals: 6165, S9+10/20, good modulation 6100, S9+10 and JBM 6060, S9+20/30, loudest modulation as usual, verging on over- 6000, S9+10/20, undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. June 30 at 0617-0620 I check the 16mb for signs of signals across the midnight-sun path, and once again they correlate with HFCC listings for CRI. Mostly JBA carriers but some with bits of audio too weak to be sure of languages (No doubt these are inbooming to target Europe): 17865, CRI Kashgar in French 17720, CRI Kashgar in German 17680, CRI Kashgar in Spanish 17650, CRI Kashgar in Chinese 17615, CRI Urumqi in German (also CRI Chinese via Kunming) 17520, CRI Kashgar in Italian; but a second carrier, RFA Chinese via off-frequency SAIPAN (and/or jamming?). If I am ever going to hear anything on the 19-MHz SWBC band, this may be when? But the only thing registered now is IRDR SMG Vatican 24 hours on 18950, i.e. an imaginary standby, which if ever activated for Disaster Relief, may well come from some other site. In B season I think IBB had something in our nightmiddle, Kuwait? How about 13 meters? That would be neat as we are almost to local mean midnight in Enid at 0632 UT --- nothing, but Aoki/NDXC shows nothing scheduled from TKS on that band. Even at midday, the OSOB is typically 21525 WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PHILIPPINES. RVA`s last day on SW: Via UTwente SDR at 1437 June 30 am hearing Telugu? songs on 11870, fair; and unID language talk on 9610, very poor presumed RVA Urdu. Final final broadcast will probably be Tagalog at 1500-1555 on 11675 (Glenn Hauser, WOR iog via DX LISTENING DIGEST) 11870, June 30 at 1457, RVA via UTwente with IS and ID in English, one more IS and off. Then I retune to: 11675, June 30 at 1459, RVA via Utwente just came on with music, not IS, English ID, stay tuned for ---, language and frequency, 1500 Tagalog talk and ID. At 1530 checked on my own receiver, and as expected, inaudible here. 1545 I keep listening via UTwente, playing a dirge? 1548 some talk, 1552 choral music; 1556 announcement, 1557 IS and English ID, 1558 IS again and off --- forever? Too weak to tell if any mention of QRT. At least they employed English for continuity. This is normally the end of their broadcast day at local midnite. To be sure, we should check whether anything appear at normal resumption: 2100-2230 Chinese on 6115; 2300-2330 Tagalog on 15355 (which has been well heard in North America); 2330-2400 Vietnamese on 9670; etc., etc. Apparently this situation is encouraged by the pope`s decision to downsize RCC radio outreach, also Vatican Radio itself, but not gone yet from SW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TAIWAN [non]. 6190-CUSB, Sat June 30 at 1423 via UTwente SDR, Hamburger Lokalradio during `Best of Media Network Plus`, Keith Perron interviewing someone who coped with censorship; poor reception but bits audible, mentioning Radio Moscow World Service, Voice of Russia, and `From Moscow With Love`, so IIRC that would be Vasily Strelnikov. 1430 canned ID for HLR claims still to be on long-replaced 7265! And WORLD OF RADIO 1936 starting at 1431 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U K [non]. 12065, June 29 at 1304, BBCWS mid-news ID (also an optional cutaway for some affiliates for which 5 solid minutes of news is just too much!); 1320 during News Hour, about An
