** AUSTRALIA. 15340, July 16 at 1225, HCJB is on with usual pr?lude made up of
``about to start`` announcements looping with a medley of inspirational music
--- bits of familiar hymns or tunes here and there, but nothing I can identify.
My previous inquiry about the nature and source of this medley has gone
unresponded.
Oh oh, at 1228 some IADs start, I suppose a problem in the long microwave (?)
feed from Melbourne to Kununurra, which could be avoided if they axually
stationed their people in WA and produced the programming at the site; not
gonna happen. 1230 first English program OK for a while, but 1252 recheck
during S Asian song, IADs again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BOLIVIA. 6155-, July 16 at 0101, YL talk from presumed R. Fides as always
slightly on the lo side, and this time with LAH from something much closer to
6155.0, presumed AIR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake July 16, before 1300:
13795, very poor at 1255
The rest are CNR1 jamming instead:
13920, fair-good at 1254 with het
14700, poor at 1254; none in the 10s, 12s, 15, 16s, 17s
After 1330:
13920, fair at 1331 with het; none in the 12s, 14s
15115 & 15265, poor at 1332 mixing with targets, echoes
15545, poor at 1334
15570, poor at 1334; none in the 16s, 17s; 17 MHz is totally dead
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 5765-USB, July 16 at 1154, AFN is still/again here, JBA with
programming including some music bits (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 15150, July 16 at 0529, VIRI very poor but audible opening 9-hour
Arabic broadcast, 289 degrees via Zahedan. First time have heard it since the
three nights of 1 kHz tone jamming intended for R. Dabanga but on wrong
frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Sporadic E MUF is struggling to surpass 55 MHz, only occasionally
succeeding, July 15, UT:
2248 on 2, fade-in something with Spanish A&V, and right out again; antenna
south
2321 on 2, another fade-in-and-out, but not before I spot a Gala-TV swirl bug
in the LR. As outpointed before, per W9WI.com there is only one Televisa net-9
affiliate on channel 2:
Hermosillo SO XHHMA-TV 30000 ZH 29-04-29N 110-57-35W XLIC S:Televisa 9
which it could be but no time to determine if it was coming from that far west,
as we know it could also be another of the local Televisa channels just
carrying net-9 at the moment, other nets at other times
UT July 16:
0040, on 2 another fade-in, but suspect English so rotate north and do find
more weak CCI, but nothing to identify Canadianly
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MICRONESIA. 4755+, July 16 at 1158 with BFO I am tracking the JBA carrier
for PMA The Cross to cut off circa 1159, but it doesn`t, still going past 1200.
Their automation sometimes fails, and I expect Ron Howard would have heard it
going much later today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1460, July 15 at 1950 UT on caradio, KZUE El Reno [``rino``], news
from correspondents in various states --- of M?xico. So again hooked into the
Radio F?rmula network from M?xico DF, with ID in passing at 1955, says this
show is L-V 1:30-3:30 pm and Sab/Dom 3-4 pm HC. 2000 missed local ID if any,
but resuming news show anchored by Joaqu?n L?pez-D?riga, as in
http://www.radioformula.com.mx/s04410n.asp?sIdC=lopezdoriga
also mentioning a few of the many affiliate frequencies in Mexico if not
Oclajoma. 2032 next check with song in English! From net or local? 2036 back to
Mexican news (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 91.7, Tuesday July 15 at 1235 UT, KOSU local item in Morning
Edition has Jennifer James talking about Bletchley Park, catching my ear, but
somehow she worx this into comments about an exhibit at the State Fair OKC
gallery, ``cracking the code of your life``. Outro says we may hear her again
via KOSU website, by clicking on the podcast icon in upper right --- which
means now we have to go thru iTunes. More and more stations are outsourcing
their archives, a bad idea (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, July 16 at 0056, R. Chaski usual carrier, talk audible past 0101
until 0104:23*, 5.5 seconds later than yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [and non]. 15400, July 16 at 0528, 1 kHz tone jamming still going
against R. Dabanga via MADAGASCAR, both very poor signals tonight, but tone
stops about 0529.5* as usual even tho Dabanga goes another semihour (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5050, July 16 at 0142, WWRB is missing, not on 3195 either. Still
going with BS on 3185 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11715, July 16 at 1258 big open carrier, no doubt KJES; starts a bit
early at 1259 with kID, zipcode in English, into off-key group singing with
guitar accompaniment --- but it`s all very undermodulated, and still so at 1330
check. Probably sporadic-E boost but MUF did not build up to VHF channel 2
until 1515, also from Mexico to the southwest (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9416-9431, July 16 at 0103, huge blob of extremely strong
distorted crud, humbuzzroar, but with traces of talk modulation cadence, more
audible around the edges. It`s QRMing heavily 9420 Greece. I look for a match
anywhere else on the 9 MHz band; there is something similar but much weaker
circa 9873.
Comparing to many other signals: it`s something Cairo could accomplish, but
9720 dead air and 9965 almost dead air are much weaker tonight, as are all
signals from Afroeurasia. The only thing comparable in strength and sound is
heavy wideband and rough-sounding DRM from REE/Costa Rica centered 9630, but
without the bits of analog modulation. I would suspect this as a spur from
that, altho 9630 is steady.
0115-0125 a quick break for dinner which is hot and ready. When I get back, the
blob is off, 9630 is still on. Or maybe it wasn`t off, just shifted to a
different range, soon found 9425-9437-9443, all approx. This completely blots
the Voz de Rusia Spanish frequency 9435. Now I have brought to the porch a
second radio, the DX-375 which has no problem hearing the blob with whip only,
while I tune the DX-398 around seeking a modulation match.
On 9 MHz around 0127 I rule out CRI, RHC, REE, VOA, WHRI. At 0135 an even
bigger buzz cuts on circa 9440, then back off, while the main buzz extends up
to 9451 so at least it`s far enough from 9420. Off at 0137*. I take the
opportunity to check some unrelated things.
At 0144, I find it is back and shifted higher, 9465-9484-9490 or so,
encroaching upon the weaker Cuban jamming of 9490 Rep?blica. So far modulation
has been talk, but now some music on and off. 0148 ranges up to 9440, then up
to 9470, keeps jumping, back to peak 9440-9450.
Meanwhile I have been checking other bands for a possible modulation match:
none on 11 or 7 MHz, not even WRNO, and starting to check 6, how about RHC
English on 6165? Before I can decide, blob cuts off at 0154*, maybe for good,
and I don`t chase it any further tonight.
I have heard this previously, and surely others have too. I also look thru all
the Aoki listings on the 9 MHz band by frequency, to spot any possible source
during the 01-02 period, especially if the listed frequency be missing, but
nothing fits. This is so strong that it must be from close to or within North
America. I wish to be unstumped (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11979, UT Tuesday July 16 at 0523, the single-number CW intruder
is back, again beating with 11980 TRT: this time the number is: seven, --...
and I time the repetition rate at 29 per minute. So far the only other number
heard was three, so we might draw some conclusions from that (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

After 65 years of broadcasting, the station suspended its last shortwave
broadcasts in Farsi to Iran at the beginning of July:
http://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2013/07/a-farewell-to-kol-israel.html The
longtime shortwave listeners may remember they used to broadcast overseas
programs in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Georgian, Persian,
Hungarian, Romanian, Russian, as well as a home service program in Hebrew
and external service in other Jewish languages:
Yiddish, Bucharian, Ladino, Mograbit. They also had a DX-Program in
English, hosted by Ben Dalfen, aired on Sundays. Their broadcasts in
Russian, Hungarian and Georgian were a subject to jamming.

Here in San Juan de Puerto Rico, in general terms looks like we are having "no
eras " for the SW bands. The more action ( for me ) is on the 16 meter band
where some stations are heard very nice. Does any other people has the same
concern? I mean deaf bands ? Commnets appreciated.

I wish people would be a little more explicit, but I assume he is asking about
the Lebanese station Voice of Charity listed in WRTH 2013 on three FM
frequencies, 87.5, 106.0 and 107.7, give or take, and ``Also relayed by Vatican
Radio (winter 0530-0555 9645; summer 0430-0455 11715)``. That was in Arabic; as
I recall, sometime last winter I was no longer hearing it on 9645, and may not
have sought it yet this summer an hour earlier on 11715. This website
http://www.radiocharity.org/ altho presented mostly in English linx to program
schedule mostly in Arabic. Let alone SW, homepage doesn`t even mention FM, just
satellite info (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Hi all,
Getting back into the shortwave side of things and browsed to
clandestineradio.com and discovered it
hadn't been updated for some time. Clandestine Radio Watch and A*C*E also seem
to be in recession.
So is there an up-to-date clandestine radio news website???
Thanks,
Paul
