15487 But I guess is like a PIRATE music station which bcast QRM free til
1259 UT.
Then at 1300 UT Voice of Tibet from Yangi Yul TJK appeared here.
At 1303 UT FIREDRAKE music started on 15485 kHz.

** BANGLADESH. 15105, Aug 29 at 1245, BB English service is poorly audible, but
only with S Asian songs, still at 1253; 1256 brief announcement, more music;
1259 closing presumably in English with some hum unlike during music, brief
tone and off at 1300:45*. Thruout was bothered by splash from CNR1 jammer on
15115, rather than from much weaker first adjacent 15110 signal. By 1335 during
presumed Nepali semihour, nothing but a JBA carrier on 15105.
15505, Aug 29 at 1359, much better fair signal with tone still running; 1359:35
finally starts IS but played only twice; 5+1 timesignal ends 25 seconds late
after 1400, opening Urdu (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 11744, 11752, 11768, 11776, JBA carriers at 1405 Aug 29; 11752 caused
het to Cuba 11750, but Anguilla 11775 was off. Wolfgang B?schel assumes the
target of the fundamental on 11760 was R. Australia in Mandarin via Taiwan at
1300-1430, which is no longer relayed by Taiwan at all. (However, I didn`t
think RA had been a target of ChiCom jamming; maybe only when they used Taiwan,
and that could be a reason for quitting it??).
Furthermore, the same kind of ``garden fence`` CNR1 jammer-spurs he has also
been hearing after 1500 surrounding 15430 center, vs R. Free Asia via Saipan.
And yet more: at 09-11 centered on 13610 vs VOA Chinese via Saipan, every 8 kHz
from 13586 to 13626. So now we have four instances of this thing from 09 to
17(?) UT, likely a single defective jamming transmitter, which probably does
the same thing on yet more frequencies the rest of the 24 hours (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake August 29 before 1300:
12320, very good at 1252
12670, very good at 1253
13850, very good at 1252, over WWCR 13845
13920, poor at 1252 with utility QRM, Australian fax?
14870, very good at 1249
15555, very good at 1249; this one only still on at 1303
16920, fair at 1250
16980, very good at 1250
17450, poor at 1250; none in the 18s
Before 1400:
12670, good at 1339
13530, poor at 1339
15490, good at 1358
15495, fair until 1337*
15605, fair at 1337 with propeller noise, but at 1338 just the noise; 1358
recheck the FD music is back and still on at 1401
15700, good at 1338; very good at 1358; none in the 14s
16100, very good at 1340; none in the 17s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC anomalies Aug 29: at 0501, 6000 is still on the air in English,
much weaker than 6010; 6050 and 6060 are very poor on each side of stronger
6055 Spain, and 6125 is missing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, Aug 28 at 2003, R. Africa is still on and sounds
like Tony Alamumble at a later hour than usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, Aug 29 at 1243 check, still no signal from VOI.
http://rri.jpn.org agrees as of today with a grid of blank spaces that it`s
been totally missing since last heard July 26 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 9650, Wed Aug 29 at 1239, KBSWR via CANADA in Korean
lesson, CCI from North Korea direct, as often the case, SAH of about 6 Hz. 1242
opening `Sounds of Korea` traditional music show I would like to enjoy but too
much QRM. With HFCC B-12 conference underway this week in Paris, it seems KBS
still hasn`t decided what to do in the post-Sackville era. Let`s hope they pick
a better frequency from a new site, rather than give up or keep 9650 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 21540, Aug 29 at 1334, R. Kuwait in Arabic, music, rather
reverential, at first with only lite SAH from Spain underneath, by 1357 more of
that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 870, Aug 29 at 1200 UT the Mexican music I am hearing is coming from
KLSQ Nevada as IDed a minute later, see USA. Once upon a time, XETAR in
Chihuahua owned this frequency around local sunrise here. That`s presumably
what started to make a SAH of about 5 Hz with KLSQ at 1204 with bits of the
Mexican NA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1230, Aug 29 at 1213, WBBZ has gone back to the
syllable-swallowing announcer with weather summary, after having heard a pro
announcer yesterday. Canned ID as ``1230 AM stereo, WBBZ, Ponca City``, and on
to sports news. 1221 ending that and back to music, ``Working at the Carwash
Blues``; same announcer becomes a DJ, Mike Beckwith(?) saying he`s substituting
for Bill & Andy (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Area tropo from Wichita KS at least, less than 200 km, up again
the morning of August 29, UT:
28, at 1410 UT, opening first noted by presence of analog signal here, even
when antenna not aimed at Wichita, KWKD-LP. Once aimed, enough to lock in with
gospel huxter, at first without sound, then strengthening by 1423 with audio;
grafix about ``demonic spirits``, on `Breakthrough` program from rodparsley.com
which will sell you something for $60+; after 1430 on to Benny Hinn.
During this hour I tuned thru all channels from 2 to 69 looking for anything
else in analog, but only saw 48 from OKC off the back. Of course, there`s now
lots of utility QRM on 52-69, soon to be the fate of even lower ex-UHF TV
channels. The rest are DTV, besides the bigsigs from Wichita:
49, at 1422 UT, trying for BOUNCE again from Wichita, and it starts to decode,
old drama I don`t recognize, with black and white characters, stays in for
several minutes, tho freezing at times; PSIP says KGPT-DT.
43, from previous research, I knew there is another Wichitan here, so parked on
it, and initially ``bad`` signal broke thru at 1433 with PSIP as 43-1, "THIS"
including the quotation marks. However it was not a movie or old rerun, but
instead ``Know the Cause`` per continuous lower-right bug superimposed on an
apple outline: apparently a health infomercial. Also referred to ``News and
Views``. Still in at 1445 when I took some photos of it. ``This`` must be
KCTU-LD, Wichita, only 2.7 kW, which per W9WI.com also has three other
subchannels I should have tried for: ``ThisTV|AMG|Untamed Sports|Fn||`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12050, Aug 29 at 1403, R. Cat?lica Mundial, modulation distorted but
carrier stable, while // 11550 was OK. Giving phone numbers including one in
Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 790, Aug 29 at 1232 UT, River City Casino ad, ``Cardinals Report``
summarizing last nite`s BB game, report on ``extreme commuting``, 1234 River
View Resort ad. That casino is in St. Louis. There are several resorts by that
name, like Maine and Massachusetts, but I`ll go with the one near Eureka
Springs AR, so this is KURM in Rogers AR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 840, Aug 29 at 1159 UT, 24 hours after yesterday`s log, KXNT is in
again at weak and steady level with a different ad, ID primarily for KXNT-FM,
Newsradio 100.5, then 840, and also mentions HD, but could not catch whether
referring to AM or FM. NRC AM Log of last year does list 840 as IBOC; CBS is a
diehard supporter of this failed technology.
Note: city of license of KXNT (AM) is North Las Vegas NV, not merely Las Vegas.
Could help minimize confusion with original Las Vegas in NM, which has no
North. This time held up a bit later after CBS network news on hour; 1208
introducing more news with substitute anchors, all the stories previewed being
national, nothing about LV/NV, so is this local origination or does CBS have a
continuous national radio newsfeed available to its own stations? KXNT could
simulcast KNX Los Angeles; note the similarity in calls. Note also the happy
coincidence that the heritage KNX calls came about long before the all-nx
format.
870, August 29 at 1200 UT I am hearing Mexican music, no NA, 1201 quick legal
ID mentioning Las Vegas. Call letters were pronounced in English but could not
copy them. Listed as KLSQ, city of license really Whitney NV. That was easy;
heard this last year and it was tough to get a definite ID vs other SS such as
from The Metroplex. Supposed to be 5 kW day, 430 watts nite, and it`s certainly
night at 5 am local PDT (really 4 am PST). FCC shows non-direxional daytime;
nighttime with major lobe to NW, minor lobe at 85 degrees, which means even
less than 430 watts OKward if really on nite facilities, which I seriously
doubt. This was just after relogging neighbor 840 KXNT North Las Vegas, also
suspected out of whack but with much more power to start with. Too late to be
hearing WWL`s continuous Isaac coverage; and where`s XETAR? See MEXICO (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1010, August 29 at 1225 UT, several St. Louis ads with 314-AC phones,
call 511 for safe digging, 1230 ``KXEN, St. Louis` good news station, joining
you in prayer`` (huh??), and into a revival show from Connecticut, live? At
least mentioned today`s date.
I was looking for KXEN after reading this in the latest NRC DX News:
``FCC Actions: 1010 KXEN MO St. Louis ? Licensed for U4 50000/500, KXEN has a
CP for U4 50000/420. This action temporarily moves their transmission to Tower
#2 of the WGNU-920 transmitter site located 1.16 km east of the KXEN site with
U1 350/125.
The land on which KXEN?s towers are located is being sold and the new
owners have indicated that the land will be used for commercial, rather than as
a broadcast tower site. The temporary facilities will be in force until KXEN
finds a new tower site and the facility can be built (Bill Hale, NRC DX News
Aug 13 via DXLD)``
The KXEN website http://www.kxen1010am.com says nothing about this, still
claiming 50 kW daytime coverage, with maps! Can`t find a program schedule to
check name of the 7:30 am show. FCC AM Query, besides the originally licensed
50/0.5 kW facilities and a new 50 kW CP, also shows a CP for 420 watts at
night, and applications only for 350 watts day, 125 watts night, but apparently
the latter are already in use now.
So I was really not expecting to hear KXEN this well, if at all. Poor signal
but atop the QRM at the moment. Note: the WGNU site is in Illinois, near
Granite City, as are the old and proposed KXEN sites nearby (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1030, August 29 at 1225 UT, ``Newstalk 1030, KFAY``, WSJ report on
higher fuel economy standards to be blamed on Obama. KFAY: as in Fayetteville,
Arkansas, tho COL is Farmington. Official August LSR is 1130 UT; September,
1200. 10 kW day pattern is close to ND, but with more to the SW and plenty to
the west. So it was still propagating almost an hour later, and a semihour
after our sunrise (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1330, August 29 at 1219 UT, ``Jail House Rock`` ending, 7:20 TC, ad
for Hearing West Texas in Odessa and numerous other towns; KCKM Monahans, a
regular on SRS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

But Bangladesh Betar back on regular 7250.0 kHz,
"Bangladesh Betar" identification in English at 17.55:30 UT Aug 29,
suffers today Aug 29 still by odd heterodyne buzzy signal from their
neighbour country India, like AIR Goa Panaji in Malayalam 1730-1830 UT on
odd 7249.978 kHz.

29 August 2012: Went out to the SGLs to listen for 2 reasons; wanted to get a
nice
recording of Zanzibar, and to check my repairs to the BOG coax connectors and
verify everything is working properly. Unfortunately Zanzibar wasn't on.
Since I
haven't been doing any listening for a week (no antenna's at home), I don't know
how long Zanzibar has been off. On a positive note, the coax lead-in seems OK.
Signals seemed kind of weak though. I had the Perseus set at 10db attenuation
at
first but then switched it off. There also appeared to be areas of noise too.
Don't
know why. I was surprised to hear a number of decent signals on 41 meters
already
by 2015. That's 3? hours before sunset. Wonder how early they were coming in.
Of
course 49 meters was dead except for CRFB.
RX: Microtelecom Perseus SDR with ARR preamp.
ANT: 315' Beverage (BOG) at 90?
QTH: Pennsylvania State Game Lands #26
Duration: 1915-2015 UTC
Solar Indices: Solar Flux = 118 A Index = 4 K Index = 1 No storms.
WX: Sunny with Cumulus clouds. Near 80?
14959.76 Salem Estereo 1919-2000 seemed like a pgm of rel. mx and M host.
Pretty
lax about deadair between songs and annmnts. A really nice peaks at 1949, but
died
in a matter of 3 seconds. Caught canned ID at 1950 by M though, then canned
dialog
by W and M. Was getting some annoying QRM from UTE bursts all around this freq.
(29 August)
15850 Galei Zahal 1919-2000 good signal w/Blues mx and M host repeating the
EG
lyrics. Got nice canned ID jingles at 1957-1959. 3 minutes of nx at 2000
ending
w/ID, brief mx filler, then discussion by several men. Good. (29 August)
7255 V.O. Nigeria 2009 tlk by M in FR w/ment of nationale. Afro Hi-life mx
at
2011 recheck, followed by W in FR. Decent signal. Suddenly went off the air at
2012. (29 August)
7345 RTV Tunisia 2017 W studio host in rapid AR tlking to M. Pretty good
signal for this time of day. (29 August)
11820 BSKSA Holy Koran Svc 2025 Koran recitation, then M anncr at 2026 in AR
including a nice ID, then M anncr followed by another w/ment of Saudi Arabia.
//11915, both good. (29 August)
