** BANGLADESH. 15520, new transmitter test of Bangladesh Betar external service
is poorly audible Aug 10:
1322 tune-in to S Asian language, 1325 into singing, at first sounding
Qur`anish, but probably not; tenor with lite drumming.
There is also continuous noise along with it, and with BFO the carrier seems
slightly unstable. It also seems the noise is coming out of the same
transmitter, not jamming or QRM.
1329, announcement and different S Asia music
1344, YL announcement, drumming? Or just noise
1344.6, het starts ? no, it`s not, but rather intentional DSB tone test since
peaks on both sides of carrier; pitch D#6 on my keyboard, circa 1245 Hz. Only
the tone until:
1357.5, music starts, believe it is a 10-note IS, repeated, reminiscent of
AIR`s instrumentation
1359.8, 5+1 timesignal ends early, announcement, and news? Some S Asian
language, no doubt
1408, adds some ``frying`` buzz with bits of news
1412, to music again sounds Qur`anish at first; variety of music past 1425,
always with the accompanying noise
1430, tone test again, and noise, altho the rumble could be taken for drumming
1454, some talk starts, uncertain source
1500, once again, just tone and noise on the carrier
1514, IS and another fast 5+1 timesignal to 1514:37; music and apparently
opening another service
1530, talk and music continue, signal weakening
The continuous noise does not sound at all like DRM. There had been theories
that 15520 was bothered by Ethiopian jamming against something else, but I
doubt it. YFR via UAE supposedly uses 15520 from 14 to 16, but I never heard
any sign of it here.
As for languages, old schedules and/or monitoring by Jose Jacob on the other
test frequency, 7250, included 1315-1345 Nepali, 1400-1430 Urdu, 1515-1545
Hindi. Ron Howard et al. heard English yesterday on 15520 at 1745-1900. Beware
of Turkey in English on 15520 at 1630-1725v.
As for the noise, Wolfgang B?schel suggests: ``Maybe the BBEF Made in China
firm delivered that jamming audio option facility also on their modulator PC,
but engineers at Dhaka Khabipur CAN't HANDLE that properly? 73 wb``
The 1245 Hz tone I independently measured on 15520 makes the following note
from Eike Bierwirth yesterday pertinent: ``After 1600, 7250 had 1240 Hz tones
which turned out to be AIR Panaji starting Farsi at 1615`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake, August 10:
15500, fair open carrier at 1316 and I am paying more attention to the weaker
het on 15502, when at 1317, FD music starts up on 15500, with noise added.
15485, which had been on a bit earlier, is now gone
15560, fair at 1317, het on hi side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11760, Aug 9 at 1957 check, RHC`s initial English hour of the day is
at first dead air; then some JBM music. The signal here is never strong on this
one.
6050, August 10 at 0519, RHC English is dead air instead, altho OK on 6010 and
much weaker 6060, 6125 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LITHUANIA. My EDXC/RMRC pdf QSL for the June special via Sitkunai 11900 is
now visible via the new last link at the bottom of:
http://www.worldofradio.com/QSL.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. 7245, Aug 10 at 0521, IGIM is on and chanting. This sounds so
much the same from one morning to the next that I suspect it`s a single
recording played over and over. Indeed it sounds so much the same from one
minute to the next, of limited tonality (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 15120, Aug 10 at 0509, S9+12 signal well from VON atop the CCCCCCI,
but undermodulated with own whine added; deep-voiced OM newscaster was more
readable than axuality clip inserted. Then report from YL correspondent whose
voice came thru much better until she inserted a clip. And so it goes (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH AFRICA [and non]. 7230, Aug 10 at 0521, very poor signal with music,
talk in English, no doubt Channel Africa as scheduled, so I compare it to the
relay via WRN via WRMI on 9955, also very poor with pulse jamming added. By
noting transition from talk to music or vice versa, I compute the delay as:
9955 is 26 seconds behind 7230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1629 monitoring: confirmed during the Thursday August
9 2100 broadcast on WTWW 9479; and on WWRB 5050 from 0331 UT or so Friday
August 10 --- after the usual dead air for at least a minute; some seconds
before WOR playback started, WWRB hum appeared on the signal and continued
thruout WOR, also on the webcast.
Next: UT Saturday 0130v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB.
On Hamburger Lokalradio: Sat 0630 on 7265; Tue 0930 on 5980
On WRMI 9955: Sat 0800, 1500, 1730, Sun 0800, 1530, 1730, Mon 0500, 1130
On WRN via SiriusXM 120: Sat & Sun 1730, Sun 0830
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 13830, Aug 9 at 1950 check, WEWN Spanish has poor signal, but no QRM
from the big ute blob circa 13832 we have been hearing in the mornings (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. The previously noted very weak carriers offset from standard
frequency separations are again audible Aug 10 at 1302 on 11734, 11751.5,
11776, 11784. Is anyone else hearing them? They must have stronger signals
somewhere else in the world (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15285 approx., Aug 10 at 1312, intruding ute with rapid chirps of
varying quantities, estimated up to 20 at a time between pauses, and each time
they grow more and more rapid (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

MOLDOVA 17870 R Xoriyo Ogadeniya in Somali, an Ethiopian opposite radio
program, brokered by TDP via Grigoriopol Maiac tx site, Tue/Fri only at
1600-1630 UT, heard today and accompanied WHITE NOISE jamming like 20 kHz
wide DRM signal was on high 17870 kHz.
