** CUBA. 6100, Sept 1 at 0612, RHC English is S9+30 but JBM; 6145 is S9+20 but sufficiently modulated. Last night`s parity is long-gone. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13740, Sept 1 at 1837, RHC Kriyol at S9+10/20, // 11760. And not on 15140 where it is supposed to be with 13740 off air between 14 and 21, 11760 off between 18 and 21. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7254.9v, Sept 1 at 0610, again zero signal from VON to begin another month. It`s been so sporadic that we do not yet draw any conclusions of a permanent QRT. Besides, 11769.894, Sept 1 at 1519, S6 VP signal in African? language, typical VON offset, vs. RHC 11760 splash out to plus/minus 20 kHz. 1859 recheck, still a JBA carrier. Wolfgang Bueschel agrees: ``11769.894 kHz, Voice of Nigeria from Abuja, requested as Igbo service. Talk by male presenter. At 1620 UT on Sept 1st. Proper S=9+30 or -46dBm powerful signal into Europe today. [selected SDR options, span 12.5 kHz RBW 15.3 Hertz] (wb df5sx, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Sept 1)`` and four days earlier: ``11769.893 kHz, Voice of Nigeria from Abuja, probably in English. At 1804 UT on Aug 28. Sideband splash signal disturbtion of S=9+35 or -39dBm powerhouse, from adjacent CRI Beijing in Germany, via big bcast center in Kashgar, western China {East Turkistan}. Noted in Liverpool England and Netherlands Perseus server-net. [selected SDR options, span 12.5 kHz RBW 15.3 Hertz] (wb df5sx, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Aug 28)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, Aug 31 at 2200 and still 2220, no signal from VOT English to us. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. 9830, Sept 1 at 2200, VG S9+40 VOT signal at UTwente as YL yet again opens this broadcast claiming it is at 1230 on 15450. Now it may well be necessary to do one English broadcast per day at mid-afternoon, and play it back for all the subsequent English times. But they should say so, so at least the sign-ons make sense. Of course, we`re lucky they are even uttering the correct current season time and frequency for the original. Something`s always awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2049 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday September 1 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, VG S9/+20 at UTwente. Also confirmed UT Tue Sept 1 at 0330 on WRMI 5800, VG at TWR Bonaire S9+5/15. I leave it on in the background but notice about 0350 that music is playing! ME-ish world music fill, so for some reason dumped out of this new WORtime well before it finished. Rarely does a week go by without some problem with WOR playbax, so we are fortunate with redundancies. Next: 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5850 to NW & 5010 to S NEWs Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Thanks for financial support from Eric Lund, Karlsborg, Sweden for a contribution via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com - not necessarily US funds as PP will convert One may also contribute by MO or check in US funds on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 11835 & 7890, Sept 1 at 0614, R. Vanuatu X 4 and X 3 are both but JBA carriers tonight. Propagation disturbed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 711.0, Sept 1 at 0616, JBA carrier while no TA`s are audible, not even 621 altho there is HSNL from OKC area which is being flooded by up to 8 inches of rain in some suburbs. But it`s strong enough to get a rough DF separable from 710s, as ENE/WSW, which rules out Cuba, and probably too clockwise for Morocco either. What Unitedstatesians are along that axis? Surely not the biggies WOR NY or KSPN LA; how about KBMB Black Canyon City [Phœnix] AZ? There is no longer a 710 in Sonora. XEDP in Chihuahua used to be off-minus by an odd amount but not for a year or two (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0236 UT September 2
