RNA/RNB 11780 are very much back. Even more so at next check 0137 when many
more of them are audible about 33 kHz apart circa: 11912, (not 11879?), 11846,
11813, 11747, 11714, 11681, (not 11648?), 11615. At 0530 I can
** ARGENTINA [and non]. 11710.6, Aug 26 at 0255, RAE with poor signal but can
tell it`s in French; slight crackle from second-order Brazil 11780 spur circa
11710, while it`s worse on first-order 11745 11815 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. 12085, Aug 25 at 1353, RA is
** CUBA. 6165, Aug 26 at 0528, RHC English is back on; it was AWOL at previous
check 0232 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 570, Aug 26 at 1128 UT, ``XEBJB, Nueva Vida``, Monterrey ID with 5
mil watts, Grupo Radio Alegría. New slogan, ex-Notiradio 570, as of last year`s
IRCA
** BIAFRA [non]. 15560, Aug 27 at 1943, JBA carrier with Doppler flutter during
very disturbed propagation conditions, but it must be the new SW service of R.
Biafra, clandestine, the one which had been on FM only but really bothering the
powers that be in Nigeria. I wonder how much of it, if
** BOLIVIA. 4409.76, Aug 29 at 0123, JBA carrier, presumably R. Eco, Reyes,
listed 500 watts on 4409. Nothing around 4451, but algo around 4699, the other
WOOB Bolivians (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BOLIVIA. 5952.47, Aug 29 at 0109, Radio Pio Doce, Siglo Veinte (XII/XX),
measured
** MEXICO. 1300, Aug 29 at 0548 UT, I am rechecking 24 hours later the SS
circumstantially identified as XEP, Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. Again a dominant
signal from WSW (or ENE), apropos for 38,000 rather than legal 200 watts, but
plenty of CCI. Is playing romantic song, ``Aquellos Ojos

** BANGLADESH. 15505, Aug 30 at 1359, JBA carrier, offtimesignal ending at
1359:57.5, Bangladesh Betar opening Urdu (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11780.08, Aug 31 at 0118, RNA with VG signal at S9+25, and guess
what, no spurs audible; but the fundamental is off-frequency
** AUSTRALIA. 17840 15240, Aug 24 at 0534, RA is JBA and VP respectively, but
at least they are on. 9580, Aug 24 at 1242, RA is back here too, very good in
ABC TV news soundtrack; after 1306 `The Daily Planet` starting with
Græco-Türko-Romany music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 4885, Aug 27 at 0211, very poor carrier with talk. It`s been weeks
since either Brazilian has been detected, so one of them is evidently back,
probably not R. Clube do Pará, which when on had a much better signal than
this. Soon confirmed by Daniel Wyllyans, Mato Grosso, on HCDX that
** BIAFRA [non]. 15560, Sept 1 at 1807, another attempt to hear the new
clandestine Radio Biafra, but it`s only a JBA carrier on the NRD-545; unlike
Vatican direct in Portuguese on 15570, VOA Amharic from Woofferton on 15630,
both fairly good; but NO sign of VOA English via Botswana on 15580!
** BRAZIL. 11815, Sept 2 at 0547, R. Brasil Central, poor with music, and no
spur crackle from 11780 for a change; however, splatter around 11780 is worse
up to 20 kHz above and below. Further chex into Sept 3 have not found the
11710/11745/11815 spurs; holding breath hoping they have been
** BRAZIL. 11765, Sept 4 at 0513, SRDA Curitiba is suffering from splatter out
of 11780 RNA, 15 kHz away, rather than its putting crackling spurs circa 11745
and missing 11765 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. [Re 2749-USB with marine weather from Rivière-au-Renard, Gaspé, QC
** GREECE. 9420 & whiny 9935, Sept 5 at 0125, VOGs are on again tonite, but
rather poor signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 900, Sept 5 at 0149, checking whether 890 Spanish song is // here,
which would mean R. Progresos, Cubans, but it`s not [see USA}; instead,
** COLOMBIA. 6010.1, Sept 7 at 0550, Spanish gospel music segué to bluegrass
hymn in English. So La Voz de tu Conciencia is back! First log known since May
23. 0552 ID by YL, plus ``música para `` algo. Respectable signal next to
much stronger 6000 RHC music; and way better at the moment

12560, Sept 5 at 1258, CNR1 jammer, very poor
13920, Sept 5 at 1259, CNR1 jammer, poor with flutter. Quick sweep of 14, 15
and 16 MHz OOBs finds no more before 1300, but hardly anything except Cuba is
propagating above 15 MHz
** AUSTRALIA. 9580, Sept 6 at 1305, RA`s `Sunday Nights` from ABC Local Radio,
interviewing author Tariq Ali, a non-believing but cultural Moslem for most of
this hour; couldn`t pull away from it for NPR Weekend Edition Sunday instead. I
assume the podcast will soon be available via
** BIAFRA [non]. 15560.02, Sept 3 at 1856 checking again for clandestine R.
Biafra, only a very poor S2-S3 signal with music, now about equal to 15570
Vatican and 15580 Botswana. But by 1900, 15560 has declined to an S1 JBA
carrier. This one is not off-frequency to 15560.45 as reported (only?)
** ARGENTINA. 15345v, Sept 8 at 1311, het no doubt caused by off-frequency LRA
--- except nothing else is known to be on 15345.0; should be RAE in Spanish
this hour M-F. Brazilians have been reporting much improved signal and
modulation from this --- as yet unchecked if the same on 11710.6v in
** BRAZIL. 4845.0, Sept 17 at 0116, sounds like futebol in Brazuguese, with
splash from WWCR 4840. Daniel Wyllyans reported as of Sept 9 that R.
Meteorologia Paulista had reactivated, clashing with R. Cultura in Manaus. More
likely the former with the game, and BTW, weather monicker appears to
** CHINA [and non]. 15565, Sept 17 at 1327, CNR1 jammer is very poor, but
making het with 15567 carrier, no doubt V of Tibet via Tajikistan, as per Aoki
at 1315-1340, after shifting from 15568 at 1306-1315. With extremely poor
propagation from E Asia, have not heard any of these for weeks, and

early UT Sept 16, 2015, I made a whirlwind tour of north/eastern NM, my old
stomping grounds which I had not visited for about 5 years. Lots to report
about AM and FM radio in NM and some neighboring states/estados. I
** BANGLADESH. 15505, Sept 29 at 1359, JBA carrier, but with BFO and headphones
I strain to hear a mis-timesignal from Bangladesh Betar --- and do, the final
