Might be taken for BBC, but it`s really Deutsche Welle`s only remaining English hour, from 1600, and probably our best frequency for it, 250 kW at 65 degrees from ASCENSION per Aoki; by comparison //s per EiBi: to east Africa, 9670 from South Africa, 15290 from France, 17800 from UAE; and to west Africa, 15315 from France (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 17 DTV, August 11 at 1435 UT and the following two sesquihours at least, K17JN-D, Enid`s only local TV station unknown to most inhabitants, had been six subchannels headed by 3ABN, but now, nothing but 17-6 with a total green screen and silence, PSIP now reading ``test``. About to switch to other inputs?? ``No signal`` says my Sanyo screen except when directly tuned to 17-6, but the Zenith box confirms the usual signal level for -1 thru -6 even tho ``no signal`` too and all PSIPs 1-5 blank, not even the callsign on 17-1 as originally. I believe K17JN-D had suffered some breakup during recent storms so maybe they got hit, or their satellite downlink reception interrupted (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SOUTH AFRICA. 15235, Aug 11 at 1654, undermodulated percussion at S5, 1655 dead air, 1658 African language, 1659 drumming and ``Africa``, 1700 pleasantly into English from Channel Africa without specific ID but ``This is Africa Digest``, from Johannesburg on 15235 to west Africa, into news about Zuma`s elexion. Aoki shows only French weekdays until 1655 at 250 kW, and English M-F from 1700 with 500 kW, both 328 degrees from Meyerton. I could not tell that power had doubled; latest HFCC of today shows both only 250. And WRTH shows only ChAf African languages are Nyanja, Lozi and Swahili earlier on other frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENKING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1890 monitoring: confirmed Thursday August 10 at 2330 on WBCQ, still off-frequency at 9331.50-CUSB, S5-S7, poor.

August 11 at 1650, KVOH is here with Spanish preacher, S3-S4 but with heavy modulation just below the distortion level, and carrier remains wobbly. Still 17777 at 1728 check. Must be a punch-up error, but why would there be any frequency-re-entering? This old transmitter is used only on ``17775`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 15555-AM, August 11 at 1404, JBA S1 signal not WJHR, M&W talking and some music. Nothing but WJHR is listed on 15555 in latest HFCC, Aoki and Eibi. Next check at 1426, it`s gone, and now WJHR is audible on USB only. Checking the neighborhood, most likely this is Voice of Tibet, via Madagascar, which has a history of jumping frequencies to thwart ChiCom jamming. It`s supposed to be on 15565 at 1400-1430, per EiBi: 15565 1400-1430 CLA Voice of Tibet TB Tib /MDG But suppressed from HFCC: no such MDG = MDC anywhere near in HFCC! Aoki shows [sic]: 15565*VOICE OF TIBET 1400-1405 1234567 Tibetan 15565*VOICE OF TIBET 1400-1407 1234567 Tibetan 15565*VOICE OF TIBET 1410-1428 1234567 Tibetan all: 250 45 Talata-Volonondry 2 MDG 1843S 04737E VOTi a17 As I tuned up to 15575 to check KBS, did not notice any signal on 15565, but did not know at the time that was where VOT should have been. I did notice nothing on 15525/15528 where VOT via Tajikistan and CNR1 jamming were heard yesterday, before 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, August 11 at 1053-1055: 774 and 882 from WSW, presumably Australia/New Zealand.
