** BONAIRE. 800, Sept 15 at 0144, without really trying in
tune-across, Spanish mention of rtm.org and Bible talk in strange
accent, i.e. PJB, TWR. Dominant on the E-W longwire, where`s KQCV OKC?
It still dominates on the DX-398 except when nulled (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 13640, Sept 14 at 2237, JBA talk of interest only because
hardly anything else is audible on band --- listed as CRI Japanese
bihour from Jinhua site, so probably aimed thisaway beyond (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Re my CNR1 jammer log on unlisted 11170, Wolfgang Bueschel
reminds that he found Sound of Hope nearby during his exhaustive
survey: ``my trace action of 05 - 12 July, 73 wb: 11170.091 S=6 1414
UT 2150-1700 SOH Xi Wang Zhi Sheng Chi 1-7 0607 UT<<<<<<`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [non]. 9580, Sept 15 at 0120, CRI English via CUBA is
splashing upon 9570, CRI English via ALBANIA, lessened by LSB tuning.
Commies vs Commies vs Commies! Maybe not such a good idea to run them
only 10 kHz apart, altho not synchronized with an extra satellite hop
to reach Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13557, 13627, 13767, 13848 approx. centers, Sept 15 at 1333,
barely detectable FM spurblobs with F# tone from RHC 13700-AM, as RHC
fails to provide a useful FM service today; something`s always wrong
at RHC. The one around 13627 is somewhat readable, and I notice that
the F# tone is also JB audible on 13700-AM, but not on 13740-AM, at
1336 as `En Contacto` is underway. Hey Arnie, this would be a great
topic for you to discuss/explain in English and/or Spanish, rather
than boring QSLs-on-the-air, etc., of possible interest to only one
listener. At 1426 recheck, traces of FM but no mod around 13771,
13629, as blobs shift. BTW, 13700 & FM constellation came on air late,
still unthere at first check 1306 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420, Sept 15 at 0130, great Greek music from ERT,
S9+10/20. But it will be off 24 hours later on UT Mondays (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 11659.970, Sept 15 at 0124, VIRI IS, 0126 suptorted Spanish
during trihour starting at 2350 from Sirjan. If Iran can`t keep its SW
frequencies accurate, how can we expect them to enrich Uranium
properly? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 640, Sept 15 at 1308 UT and still 1315 UT, dead air from
KWPN Moore, but too much signal to let KFI thru this late; at least
Okies may still hear stupid sportstalk in English now on sibling 930
WKY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Re our AAAWWW reports for Sept 14, John Carver explains:
``Glenn. Jason works for WBCQ. At present time he's working with the
FM station, I believe. He's been associated with the station for years
and pops up now and then on the SW. Tim usually refers to him as Jay
of Son. I have no idea what his last name is.`` And at 2306 UT Sat
Sept 14, John says ``TimTron is doing his Area 51 show live from the
station tonight and Jason is sitting in with him again. John`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Sept 15 at 0100, WTWW-2 with rock music, not
`Theatre Organ in the Ozarx` as claimed on far-outdated website; not
checked this week whether at 2330 Sat when it has also been missing
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1280, Sept 15 at 1317 UT, my semi-local KSOK Arkansas City
KS seems to be off; instead two weak signals: one from NE/SW with
gospel huxter, not its musical format; 1319 another fades up from
NW/SE with income-tax ad. 1329 first one into Lord`s Prayer and
benedixion, outro as a Lutheran program, 1330 KSOK ID! and into music.
So KSOK must be on power greatly reduced from 1 kW ND; axually I had
already noticed it weak yesterday.

As for the perpendicular signal, could be much-wanted KPRV Poteau OK,
or maybe WODT New Orleans, or KWHI Brenham TX. KBNO Denver might be
more likely except it`s listed Spanish.

1280 also has hiss from adjacent IBOC: I suspect de 1270, KRXO
Claremore OK, but NRC AM Log unshows it as I, rather KFLC 50 kW
Benbrook (Metroplex) TX, which is still in Spanish but can`t be from
defunct ESPN-D (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VIETNAM [non]. 7315, Sept 15 at 0117, VOV via WHRI in Vietnamese,
not English as had been, while Viet was registered at 0130 when
English has been running. Seems you can never depend on WHRI to play
which language in which segment of the bihour relay (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 3325, Sept 15 circa 1250, JBA carrier again, from
Bougainville or Indonesia? Ron Howard says he was not monitoring
yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9200, Sept 15 at 0118, S9-S6 of open carrier, mystery
continues altho I have not bothered to rereport it for some weeks.
Possibly an RTTY station QRX for rare beepery? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** CHINA. 9215, Sept 14 at 1225, VP music and then Chinese // 11785,
9660 and best 9680, i.e. CNR1 jammers. Then I search out more WOOB:
10820, Sept 14 at 1230, JBA Chinese
10960, Sept 14 at 1231, JBA carrier
11170, Sept 14 at 1232, JBA Chinese
11440 & 11460 & 11540, Sept 14 at 1233, JBA carriers
13530, Sept 14 at 1237, JBA carrier with flutter; and no others in the
12s, 13s, 14s or higher.

All the WOOB ones correlate with SOH/CNR1 jamming in Aoki/NDXC and
EiBi, except unlisted 11170, new to both of them (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15140, Sept 13 at 2013, RHC in Portuguese; and 15370 in
French. Wires crossed? Supposed to be vice versa, per Aoki/NDXC and
EiBi. RHC`s own website is still displaying B-18 schedule!
http://www.radiohc.cu/fr/interesantes/frecuencias
which does not include either language on either or any frequency
during this semihour! Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6100, Sept 14 at 0525, RHC English is S9+20 of dead air; at
least it is usually strongest now, while 6000 is JBM and 6165 JBA
carrier. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 12000, Sept 14 at 1234, RHC fair here and better than //
fundamental 6000. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13700, Sept 14 at 1305, RHC fails to provide an F# FM service
today, just this and 13740 on AM. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [non]. 17660.018, Sept 14 at 1253, French S9+10 and somewhat
undermodulated, some deep fades to S6;; off-frequency makes me think
of Sa`udi like just-logged 15380.059 Qur`an, and SRI/SBA do have
French on 17660 --- but not until 1355.

At 1200-1300 it`s RFI via MADAGASCAR, which explains the good signal
being T-E rather than T-A. Fluent W&M conversation about African
affairs, chopped off abruptly at 1300*. Only a trace of Saudi on
17705, making RFI the SSOB and virtually the OSOB (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 790-, Sept 14 at 1215, low audible het looping SW about the
same as KFYO Lubbock ID, presumed XENT, La Paz BCS, as in MW Offsets:
790 789.9586 MEX XENT-AM Radio Fórmula (La Paz) 2018-11-01
790 789.9993 USA KFYO (Lubbock, TX) 2018-08-29
I.e. 40.7 Hz apart. No other station anywhere is listed that far below
790. Nominally 10000/750 watts but IRCA Mexican Log says ``night power
seems much higher than 750``, and is staying on AM.

I also had a definite ID of XENT on 790-, April 11, 2018, after the
frequency had been reported at 789.96 by John Wilkins, CO (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 870, Sept 14 at 1208, XETAR in sign-on routine, starting
late? Or just protracted in multilanguages, but several IDs heard (not
XERTA as I mistyped in previous report about KFJZ, USA). In Spanish,
mentions that they will be on air for 12 hours, ``iniciando doce horas
de transmisión``, i.e. still a daytimer which perhaps WWL/listeners
appreciate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. Level 2 tropo blob over central to eastern OK, Sept 14 at
1408+ UT provides a bunch of Bad DTV signals on RF: 8, 10, 11, 12, 21,
22, 26, 30, 35, 36, mostly correlating with Tulsa market, and some
decodes:
20, KQCW-HD 19-1
28, Ion 44-1
31, OETA-DT 3-1 [seldom seen Eufaula KOET, with all 4 channels]
34, KMYT-TV 41-1
But none higher, not even 45, whence KOTV must have repacked by now.

Also, RF 16 KOCM-DT, Daystar Norman is Bad, failing to decode due to
DX QRM, which now must be KWHB Tulsa, 26 kW repacked from 47; altho
there are 7 other low-power Okies on 16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 15380.059, Sept 14 at 1250, VP Qur`an, SRI/SBA Riyadh
as scheduled at 06-09 & 12-13 per EiBi; more precisely as 0545-0857 &
1155-1357 per Aoki. One of few stations on band beyond Cuba, and much
better than 15450 Turkey English toward Europe & North America which
has been a total loss all summer (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1999 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, Friday Sept 13 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9-S6 vs Cuban pulse
jamming already; but no upcut.

Confirmed at new time and frequencies, UT Saturday Sept 14 at 0130 on
WRMI 5850 to the NW, S9+20/30 interrupting Bible quotation, ex-24
hours later; and also now on // 5010 to south, and still on 7780 to
NE, both JBA here in HNL. At 0159 on 5850, my last few words
overridden by music fill overlap!

Alan Gale, England reports: ``Hi Glenn, Nothing at all heard here on
9485 today. The Romanian station was spanning the full 10 kHz from
9485 to 9495, but I could just about see a carrier on 9485. A search
of the usual webSDRs showed nothing but splatter, but this one in
Mala, Sweden did reveal you briefly at around 1455 UT, so at least I
can confirm that the broadcast was actually on there today:
http://aspliden.mooo.com:8073/
Alan``

Confirmed via http://oh5ae.dyndns.org:8073/ SDR in Finland, not at
1445, but audible by 1452 Sat Sept 14 with huge splash from 9490
Romania. Not heard on UTwente SDR.

Via OH5 I also check 7265 and 6190 in case HLR jumbled frequencies as
Ivo suggested. At 1450, 7265 has something with music; 6190 Chinese,

** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat Sept 14 from 0000, WBCQ webcast with WTO
opening of AAAWWW, but turns out to be TimTron subhosting, apparently
on short notice as AW & AW are away at her family`s gathering in
Ass-Houlton. Messes with cart machine trying to get it to eject or
insert. He thinx they are ``quadricasting`` on 5 frequencies, but
checking 6160v, finds it off the air; plays a tune while he goes out
to try to fix it. Later says it may need a new driver tube. Also says
9330 is on but ``piss-weak``. Punxuated by belches here and there.

By now some guy named Jason has joined him to co-host. Who`s he? Never
heard his last name. He is also live-streaming video of this via his
phone on FB, but never says where to find it! Tim wants to take phone
calls to the usual 207-538-9180, but finds out it won`t work since
that number is still set to forward to AW`s cellphone, and he doesn`t
know how to change that. So Jason prompts TT to recall his adventures
in radio in Maine, having known him for almost 20 years. Rest of show
is about the various stations Tim has built and/or worked for until
losing jobs. Jason sounds like a DJ, and they do talk about the
domestic side of WBCQ, WXME, ``all-rock, AOR``, so maybe he works at
that station.

Meanwhile by 0015 I have checked for the SW frequencies vs my hi local
line noise level: 9330v JBA carrier, 7490.2v best; 6160v JBA carrier;
5130.3v second best; and 3265- as usual inaudible.

Here`s John Carver`s version: ``Show starts on time this evening but
with TimTron as host. Says he was up there because of some problems
with the superstation but never gives any details. He also stated that
6160 was down till he had a chance to fix it. He moved off mic and
worked on a cart machine for a few minutes and then played some music.
While the music was playing he ran out and restarted 6160. After the
music finished Jason wandered into the studio and was co-host to Tim.
Allan and Angela are off visiting with Angela's parents. No phone
calls this evening as Tim can't remember the control codes to stop the
phone from forwarding all calls to Allan's phone. Long talk between
the two of them about how Tim got started working for radio stations
in Maine before WBCQ existed. 6160 did not make it through the hour
and was down again. Program was off the air at 0102. John, Mid-North
Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 870, Sept 14 at 1158 UT, must be KFJZ Fort Worth again,
gospel huxter in Spanish from the south giving phone 214-723-4520,
i.e. Dallas area code. Then a song/hymn with a tropical beat
frequently reuttering ``victoria`` and ``gloria``. By 1208, XETAR is
on and in again from the SW, separable as KFJZ is fading (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 880, Sept 14 at 1203 UT, strong music east/west vs ~6 Hz SAH
with KRVN from the north, not Arkansas, but soon ID in English as
``KHAC Tse Bonito``, and KWIM, and KTBA, ``exalting the name of Jesus
across the nations``, i.e. AZ/NM reses. KHAC had been notable for
suppressed LSB, carrier plus USB only, so I recheck it both on the
DX-398 and R-75, finding that now it is DSB like almost all other
``AM`` stations, equally modulating on both sidebands!

Now I am wondering why I am not simulhearing as good or better signal
from 50/50 kW neighbor 660 KTNN? Because KHAC is obviously on 10 kW ND
day power instead of 430 watts night, both non-direxional; despite
official FCC Sept sunrise not until 1300 UT! (Oct: 1315 UT); while
KTNN would still be direxional away from us (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** VIETNAM. 12020.0, Sept 14 at 1235, carrier here, not 12019 --- can
VOV finally have fixed this long-standing off-frequency? EiBi still
shows 12019 including English at 1230, but no trace of a signal there,
nor is anything else scheduled on 12019 or 12020. Aoki/NDXC already
shows 12020, but has never been attentive to variants: almost
everylisting ends in -0 or -5 whether true or not, except V of Tibet`s
constantly changing 1-kHz steps around via Tajikistan (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 3325, Sept 14 at 1222, JBA carrier detectable, despite
my high local line noise level registering S9+20 on this band, so must
be good propagation. Ron Howard has been reporting NBC Bougainville,
pre-independence referendum, on an extended schedule way past 1200*;
but it could also be VOI via RRI Palangkaraya. Perhaps he will have
noted which or both were on today. Also have a JBA carrier on 2850, no
doubt the only 105-m band station, KCBS Korea North (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 14325-USB, Sept 14 at 1241, checking Hurricane Watch Net
for more to come; at first nothing, then a very weak K2? contacting an
ON4 Belgium and DJ4CH in Germany; closest to weather discussion was
remark that ``iron ore in the ground around here draws lightning``.
Seems plausible, but true? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15253.50-USB, Sept 13 at 2012, S4, 2-way in Spanish,
with crackle. Why am I the only one ever reporting such INTRUDERS into
our SWBC bands? Does no one else care? Of course, as more and more
broadcasters evacuate, such bands are more and more tempting to invade
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ASCENSION. 17800, Sept 13 at 1358, JBA signal where I seldom hear
anything on morning bandscans. Listed as DW in Hausa daily at
1300-1357; indeed off at 1424 recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11860.4, Sept 13 at 1323, lite Cuban noise jamming overlaid
several times a minute by a very rapid series of beeps, all same
pitch, too fast and too many to count, as heard tuned to 11860.0-USB,
and then located frequency of beeper which is inaudible in AM mode,
i.e. not modulated but just CW-like.

Also at 1325 I hear exactly the same thing happening on 11930.4. Radio
Martí does not start either frequency until 1400. Occasional beepery
of different spans, combinations and speeds, has been heard previously
out of Cuban jammers, intriguing; could Arnie explain? Ha. And is this
something ``wrong`` or not? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13554, 13485, 13630, 13775, 13840 approx., Sept 13 at 1327,
strong FM spurblobs out of RHC 13700-AM transmitter, each about 10 kHz
wide, at intervals of approx. 70-75 kHz which may vary slightly over
time. AND yes, all with F# above middle C constant tone, just like
original outbreak years ago, but tuned in FM mode, modulation is quite
readable, while 13700 source sounds fine in AM.

By 1348 I search for further outliers and detect at least the F# tone
circa: 13990, 14060, 13844, 13410 - which was a trace around 13415
earlier. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 540, Sept 13 at 1147, ``La Ranchera de Paquimé, 540 AM``
and FM [90.5 listed], canned ID they emit every few minutes from XETX,
Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, near the frontera, and heard
immediately upon tune-in, WSW separable from earlier southerly Spanish
talk, probably XEWA SLP, unseemed religious like KDFT Ferris TX. IRCA
Mexican Log says both these XEs are staying on AM (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 580, Sept 13 at 1149, romantic song in Spanish from SSW,
and no WIBW unless that`s causing a SAH. 1200 ID as ``La Rancherita
del Aire``, which is Piedras Negras, Coahuila, with new official calls
XELRDA to match its slogan, altho it`s really rebranded XEMU which
lost the frequency and then bought it back, still llamando itself
``XEMU`` tho I heard neither call this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. 840, Sept 13 at 1204 UT, Spanish from N/S, ID in passing as
``Radio Aleluia``, fade by 1206. That`s KVJY Pharr TX in the RGV as
now listed in the NRC AM Log, religious format. --- I thought this was
the unlikely station being relayed by XEPRS 1090 BCN, but it wasn`t
religious. What is the status of that deal?

IRCA Mexican Log as of Sept 1 explains under 1090 XEPRS: ``// KPAV
[sic, typo?] 104.9 FM Alamo TX. No longer // XEPE 1700 AM. Ads and
announcers in English and Spanish. With no lessee, owner is relaying a
relative`s FM station. Mentions 840 AM on air (and on `About` page of
FB), but KJAV-FM is reportedly no longer // KVJY 840 AM`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 870, Sept 13 at 1155 UT, screaming gospel huxter,
a mental case, in Spanish, --- ``¡¡¡Cristo viene!!!`` from N/S,
presumed KFJZ Fort Worth TX, but I would like to get an ID. Last time
he finished before 1200 but there was no legal ID before going right
into next infomercial. Today I clench my teeth (and eardrums?), and
keep listening. Keeps on right across ToH; at 1203 says he`s going to
terminate in 5 minutes --- but still going at 1208 when XERTA finally
gets started with XE NA from Chihuahua, barely audible from SW. And
*still* predicating by fade-out 1215, never hearing any local
references or contact info, but it was a sermon recorded in a
``noche``. All along there has been a medium SAH with WWL, which
despite easterliness, outlasts KFJZ. Could someone in The Metroplex
confirm whether KFJZ now be 100% Spanish, brokered miscellany? And
what slogan do they ever ID? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 88.1, Sept 13 at 1342 UT, KWOU Woodward is inbooming for
StarDate, so tropo is up; after breakfast to DTV bandscan; some Bad
signals on the few open UHF channels, but I always check down to VHF
6, knowing that 5-4-3-2 would be pointless for DTV tropo around
here.

And indeed at 1440 UT I *do* finally have a Bad signal on 6! This has
to be KBSD Ensign KS = Dodge City, which managed to keep its old NTSC
channel -- and there are *no* other RF6 stations in Kansas, Oklahoma,
Missouri or Arkansas (but 17 across TX, LD or LP including
Franken-FMs, no full powers).

Bill Hepburn`s tropo map predicted for 15 UT shows Level 5 Good
enhancement from Woodward thru here up into central Missouri, but
Dodge City is outside any of that.

RF 13, KETA OKC is also Bad, not decoding, blocked by some other DX,
despite antennas aimed toward it. That could also be caused by Garden
City, KUPK, but there are other 13 full-powers in Pittsburg & Topeka
KS. A glimpse of the CCI shows a Home Depot ad circa 1438 (Glenn
Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Sept 13 at
1141-1146, before LSR of 1212 UT: all from NW on the altazimuth
wrist-mounted DX-398, i.e. Japan, Korea, etc.: 747, 774, 828, 972,
1134, 1242, 1566. 1134 and 1242 harbor 100 kW private Japan stations;
1134 also 500 kW in Korea S, but 1242 only 10 kW there. 972 slightly
stronger than the rest (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
