** BOLIVIA. 5952.4, Oct 1 at 0023, no signal from Pio XII; must be off, as other Bol & SAm at least carriers are in on 5910.3, 6050.0, 6134.8, 6173.9. Do they close early on Saturday evenings instead of 0230? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6060, Sept 30 at 0516, checking RHC English: this one is off, audiblizing the off-frequency ZY carrier; 6145 is good at S9+20; 6100 is S9+10 but undermodulated; 6000 is S9+10 and undermodulated but better than 6100. 15370, Sept 30 at 2035, S8 open carrier, must be RHC on between transmissions (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GREECE. 9420, Oct 1 at 0046, very poor S5 music, presumably VOG reactivated after a few weeks missing from this frequency, but much weaker than formerly, and now 9935 is off.

WORLD OF RADIO 1897 monitoring: confirmed Friday September 29 at 2330 on WBCQ, 9330.149v-CUSB, good S9+10. Not confirmed Sat Sept 30 at 1431 on HLR 7265-CUSB: via UTwente once again I cannot make about WOR at 1455 check, but some weak music, no doubt CRI. ``Greetings from WBCQ, FYI: Schedule change for WBCQ 9330 broadcast on Saturdays. Effective immediately (9/30/2017), "World of Radio" will be aired one hour earlier - at 5:30 pm Eastern (2130 UT Saturday) instead of at 6:30 pm Eastern (2230 UT Saturday). Our apologies for the short notice period. Thanks, Robert Ellis (WBCQ shortwave program director / board operations)`` Thanks for the advance notice, not something I can depend on from some other stations. Yes, confirmed Sat Sept 30 at 2130 on 9330.171v-CUSB, fair, just after sign-on. (Not sure what replaces at 2230, but I notice after 2300 Blalock the Blaster is playing instead of an AWWW repeat). Online sked not updated yet. WOR 1897 confirmed Sat Sept 30 at 2300 on WRMI, 11580 (which finally shows on their skedgrid), poor. Also confirmed UT Sunday October 1 at 0200 on 11580, good S9+10/20. Also confirmed UT Sun Oct 1 at 0328 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, good S9+20, about R. Martí 1180, which is 9 minutes into program, so started circa 0319.

Sat Sept 30 at 2030, it`s `Blues Radio International`. Now solely by monitoring, I have almost completed a week`s schedule of 2030s on 9955: Sat, Blues Radio International Sun, Studio DX (Italian) Mon, gospel huxter in English Tue, unchecked yet Wed, WORLD OF RADIO Thu, Frecuencia al Día Fri, Bajo el Sol de Miami 5985, September 29 at 0518, Brother Scare is VP here, new one-hour extension and new frequency for TOM from WRMI-2, 222 degrees to Central America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7489.94, UT Sat Sept 30 at 0000, WBCQ with `Allan Weiner Worldwide` listening at first online, as AW talks about transmitter work, #1 on ``7415`` (oops), has been refurbished with two new 4CX35000 tubes, which he got second-hand at a big discount; #1 had a lot of glitches. Tonight also on 5130 and 3250, and just about everything is full power, all // with no delay, he says. I keep listening until the first call interrupts. Not until 0141 do I tune in SW, as he is about to wrap up, and find that 5130 is not on, but 3249.98 is good at S9+10, and measure #1 as above (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9330.16v-CUSB, Sat Sept 30 at 1459, tune in to WBCQ ID JBA, 1500 music continues, fund-raiser promo, but cut off at 1501*. I had forgotten to check for the special broadcast from Universe Radio starting at 1000! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5130.37-AM, UT Sun Oct 1 at 0039, WBCQ, Marion of Attic is heard guesting on `Radio Timtron Worldwide`, along with Cristina. It seems they are visiting Monticello to do their own show live tomorrow, not only on 7490 but all the other frequencies. Presumably at 21-22 UT Sunday, or expanded? Now 3250.03 is also on, // 5130. 3250 is S9+20 fading to S7, while 5130 is S9+10 fading to S8. 9330.19v-CUSB at 0045 is running something else. At 0102, Timtron announces that the ``90 meter service will be leaving`` as `Lumpy Gravy` is opening, but 3250 stays on // 5130 until 0103* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9930, Sat Sept 30 at 1807, WTWW-2 is still AWOL from afternoon frequency; and UT Sunday Oct 1 at 0105, night frequency also AWOL, so strike out for `Theater Organ in the Ozarx` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7520, Oct 1 at 0057, WWCR is S9+50 but only traces of scratch modulation yet nevertheless splashing out plus/minus 20 kHz; including sub/carrier/spurs such as 7125.2.
