** CUBA. 11950, July 15 at 2201, RHC on early, undermodulated S9+10, seems like live speech by some Commie, apparently a `Mesa Redonda` special event an hour earlier than usual, since not // 11760 et al., and 6000 JBA also seems same as 11950. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 7379.241, July 15 at 2222, RHC French auto-knocked way off frequency from 7380, S9+10; as happens sporadically here or below 15370 or 13740, presumably same transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NIGERIA. 7254.94, July 15 at 0551, VON with a ballad in English, ``I`m not afraid ---`` something, segment repeating at 0554, 0556 after pauses; 0557.5 cut to usual drumming and flutish IS, S9+20/30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 1230, July 15 at 0038 UT, Oh2, WBBZ Ponca City must be off again, no strong signal this long before sunset; or is that its carrier now with growing graveyard skywave? Yes, it is! Legal ID at ToH 0100 then back to dead air. Meanwhile I have been walking around the block with the PL-880 on this frequency trying to track source of high line noise level. It`s slightly CCW from N/S with a sharp null (which should be occupied by WBBZ), and little change from different sides, signifying it`s radiating from some distance away. 1230, WBBZ is back in business, S9+20 by 2225 check July 15 with rock music, ``Sunny 1230`` slogan. At least not ``Sunny 104.7`` this time (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1990 monitoring: confirmed Sunday July 14 at 2130 on WRMI 7780, JBA vs noise level Also confirmed UT Monday July 15 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, S9+10 vs noise, and much better VG S9+20 on synchronized 9395 Also confirmed UT Monday July 15 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, poor vs noise Also confirmed UT Monday July 15 at 0300 on Area 51 webcast, and at 0326 check modulating on WBCQ 5130.37 poor S9+10 vs noise level Also confirmed UT Monday July 15 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, VG S9+10/20 with lite pulse jamming audible. Czech? song fill right up to WOR. Next: 0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 0800 UT Tuesday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW [2 editions] 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 0930 UT Friday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7570, July 15 at 0019, WRMI-11 is off again, despite schedule as 23-04 UT; no loss with nothing but BS. Still going on 7730, 7780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 2343 UT July 15

** CHINA. 11540, July 14 at 1318, CNR1 jammer, as almost always. Vs RFA Tibetan via Kuwait
12190, July 14 at 1319, CNR1 jammer at S5-S9. Vs Sound of Hope 12820, July 14 at 1320, CNR1 jammer at S5-S9. Vs Sound of Hope 13640, July 14 at 1321, CNR1 jammer at S4-S8. Vs Sound of Hope 14640, July 14 at 1342, JBA music, probably CNR1 jammer vs SOH 14900, July 14 at 1343, JBA music, Chinese talk, CNR1 jammer vs SOH relaying RFA; all per Aoki/NDXC. 11785, July 14 at 1323, CNR1 jammer, but mixed with Firedragon, as I was using this one to check // with the others. Vs VOA Chinese via Philippines (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 15120, July 14 at 0052, CRI Spanish relay is S9+10, much stronger than // 5990, but 15120 is JBM, at least not crackling today. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 6000, 9535, 9570, 9640, 15230, July 14 at 1315, all these RHC/CRI frequencies are missing; while RHC is still running on 11760, 13700, 13740, 15140. Something`s always wrong at RHC/RadioCuba --- maybe correlates with one of the transmitter sites offline. Quite a different selexion from 24 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EAST TURKISTAN. 17560, July 14 at 1345, `Auld Lang Syne` and announcement in French, i.e. CRI via Kashgar where Uighurs are being brainwashed. Strongest signal on band amid very few others (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-USB, July 14 at 0035, pirate music, torchsong, S9+20 but about = the high local noise level; in sporadic chex, no ID caught, still 0100+. These say Wolverine Radio, keyword ``nothing`` https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,55968.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6879-USB, July 14 at 0037, piratemusic on odd frequency, slightly weaker S9 than 6950, and thus even worse vs noise level. These reports say Mix Radio International, earlier on 6876, 6877, 6878: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,55969.0.html At 0057 I find it has shifted to 6881-USB, but stops without announcement at 0100:25*; more reports including when on 6881: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,55966.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 88.3, WBFM, July 13 at 1902 UT, K202BY, Enid Family Radio satellator which has been open carrier for months (altho it got an STA to be ``off the air``), is now really totally off the air; in fact first noticed a couple days ago. Thus opens up a good Es FM DX channel, if the MUF will ever get up there! There are weak marginal signals from KOSR Stillwater, the local low-power fill-in when major KOSU 91.7 moved much closer to OKC; and some gospel huxter which I am concentrating on IDing. It fades way up and down but tropospherically over unstable hot path, rather than ionospherically. Bible reading is in progress, finally outro 1910 as Psalms 81-87, to be resumed tomorrow at 88 (only 10 minutes a day??), on ``Bible Broadcasting Network``, and into hymnstring. That clinches it as the station I suspected, next nearest from Wichita KS, KYFW, 17/17 kW, only 43m height, and with BBN as in WTFDA database. 89.1, Oasis Enid translator is still blocking a much more desirable Wichitan, KMUW public radio. 92.1, KAMG-LP Enid is still on with dead air after one day of modulation in May to prove it wasn`t totally dead. 88.3 free of K202BY also facilitates using 88.3 as RF feeder frequency for SW radio in the car or even home (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 407 kHz, July 14 at 0545, ND beacon HRU, which is 25 watts from Herington KS. Noise level has lowered enough to get a bit; nearest lightning areas are in NM and off the LA coast. Also have Okies 255, SW, 25 watts Stillwater, tuned to 253; and even 341, EI, 25 watts Enid. Once I can hear again any Y-beacon from Canada, I`ll know we`re back in season (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1990 monitoring: confirmed Saturday July 13 at 2100 on WRMI, 9955, fair S6-S8. Also confirmed UT Sunday July 14 at 0130 on WRMI, 5850, good. As sunset earlies, expect this one gradually to improve westward. Also confirmed UT Sunday July 14 at 0342 midpoint via WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, S9 to +10 vs high local noise level of S9; so started circa 0328, must have been right after I first checked, hearing another. None of the three Hamburger LokalRXadio airings confirmed yet. Next: 2130 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 0130 UT Monday WRMI 9395 7780 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 0300vUT Monday WBCQ 5130v Area 51 0330 UT Monday WRMI 9955 0930 UT Monday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW 1816 UT Monday IRRS 7290 Romania 0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 0800 UT Tuesday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW [2 editions] 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 0930 UT Friday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW [it appears we will now be running on a Friday-to-Thursday cycle, so freshest new airings are on weekends] (mp3 stream) http://www.w4uvh.net/wor1990.m3u (mp3 download) http://www.w4uvh.net/wor1990.mp3 Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9330.00, July 14 at 0343 tune-in, WBCQ-6 in S9+20/30 dead air, then hits WLC IS loop but brief cutoff at 0344:42. Must be having problems rather than apocalypting at this hourpart. By 0600 recheck only a JBA carrier, propagation dropout? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9955, UT Sun July 14 at 0041, WRMI-10 playing ME music, from the World Music stash? Not what one would expect during ``Buscando la Verdad`` scheduled now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5970, July 14 at 0555, WEWN with S9 of Spanish dead air (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1210, July 14 at 0459 UT, quick check immediately finds mention of Traverse City, as WJNL 50 kW daytimer continues cheating since at least June 24. QRM from more than one station KGYN, maybe WPHT and/or KUBR; predominant SAH count now is 138/minute = 2.3 Hz rather than 3+ Hz with KGYN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1857 UT July 14

** CUBA. 11980, July 13 at 0019, Chinese song at S1, same as on stronger 5990 CRI relay of which 11980 is second harmonic. Same as also on CRI Spanish 15120 fundamental, but this transmitter has crackling audio altho at 0021 the carrier is steady and not breaking up. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 13740, July 13 at 0023, RHC Spanish is on again via sporadic/unscheduled frequency, VG S9+40. Something`s always wrong? at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 9570, July 13 at 1305, CRI relay is S9+20 but overmodulated/distorted, introducing `China Theatre`. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 12000, July 13 at 1326, RHC is S3-S5 but just barely modulated, matching the situation on fundamental 6000 which is S8-S9. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 15140, July 13 at 1322, RHC is absent, but audible on 15230 at only VP S2-S3. 13700 & 13740 are also both off at 1357, 11760 off at 1358; but 9640 and 9535 are still on. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SPAIN. 9654-9663 approx., July 13 at 0015, extremely distorted weak spur talk, peaking circa 9660, immediately suspected to be coming from 9690 Spain --- and so it is, by matching modulation peaks and pauses on another receiver. 9690 itself sounds fine. I then look for more of these and find them, not quite as strong as 9660: 9715-9719-9727, 9745-9752-9755, i.e. approx. 30-kHz intervals --- but not on the minus side circa 9630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 8764-USB, July 13 at 0534, Tropical Storm Barry info with G.C., by robot who has trouble pronouncing ``quadrant``. Also confused about calendar asserting ``Saturday July 14`` and ``Sunday July 15`` which are one day off for this year but correct for 2018y! Let`s hope their life-and-death weather info be more accurate. Per EiBi this must be USCG Chesapeake VA, NMN, scheduled 0515-0550 alternating with Honolulu and Port Reyes; again audible at 1536 during the 1530-1605 NMN span. Other NMN frequencies are 4426, 6501, 13089, maybe 17314, some probably day-only or night-only. Time to tune in WWL 870 with real humans (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1990 monitoring: missed checking the first USA SWBC, Friday July 12 at 2200 on WRMI 9955; did anyone hear it? Confirmed UT Saturday July 13 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, poor in local high noise level. Also confirmed Saturday July 13 at 1130 on WRMI 9955, good S9, immediately following ``Sandunga`` on marimba music fill, no ID break and no upcut. Not confirmed Sat July 13 at 1430-1500 on HLR 9485-CUSB via UTwente --- as usual for weeks now, not even a trace of signal, just huge splash from 9490 Romania. Haven`t heard from Alan Gale either who would sometimes hear it in UK when UTwente could not. Next: 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 2100 UT Saturday WRMI 9955 0130 UT Sunday WRMI 5850 0300vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315] 1030 UT Sunday HLR 7265-CUSB Germany 2130 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 0130 UT Monday WRMI 9395 7780-new 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 0300vUT Monday WBCQ 5130v Area 51 0330 UT Monday WRMI 9955 0930 UT Monday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW 1816 UT Monday IRRS 7290 Romania 0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 0800 UT Tuesday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW [2 editions] 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 0930 UT Friday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW [it appears we will now be running on a Friday-to-Thursday cycle, so freshest new airings are on weekends] (mp3 stream) http://www.w4uvh.net/wor1990.m3u (mp3 download) http://www.w4uvh.net/wor1990.mp3 Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 15180, July 12 at 1920, still no signal from WBCQ-6 500 kW, the new frequency erroneously registered at 07-10 UT, really meaning 19-22 UT (more below). 9330 is also off at 1936 check. But on in Arabic at 2037, VP S6-S7, so presumably started at 2000. Off at 2358 retune, but that`s the antenna-rotation break; *2359:20 amid IS loop, now inbooming and reopening WLC Radio in English. 7490.18, UT Saturday July 13, can barely detect William Tell Overture opening `AAAWWW`, due to hi local line noise level. The NRD-545 noise blanker does a fine job of eliminating the buzz but also makes the remaining program audio virtually unintelligible. Strangely, someone on the phone is more readable than AW, so I give up. By 0056 or so I`m listening to the loud & clear webcast, and some comments sound very familiar --- is it a repeat? No, by 0100 AW mentions the two new frequencies 15.180 and 11.705 to be used in daytime once they have been programmed into the antenna/transmitter. It`s still a work in progress, which must account for all the downtime in the daytime. Artie Bigley heard from AW that AAAWWW would be carried on 9330 but not this time. I`d think the contract would have reserved some hours for WBCQ`s own programming. John Carver heard it all, and reports: ``Tonight's show on 7490 started on time after a few minutes of fill music. Allan and Angela in the studio. I move to 5130 as the signal is much better there. Phone call at 0007 from Freddie. Allan says that in the future AAWWW will also air on 9330 but tonight is on 7490, 5130 and 3265. Allan refuses to say what the electric bill is for the superstation but says it's in the high five figures every month. Says it takes 900 kW for the transmitter to put out 500 kW. Allan got Freddie off the phone in fifteen minutes this evening. Another phone call at 0023 moves the conversation to TV. Phone call at 0031 continues the TV discussion. Phone call at 0040 brings us back to radio. Caller doesn't care for the DSP in most of the new radios today and wonders if there's any way to bypass it. They also discussed HD radio and FM. The general consensus was that digital should get out of radio. It was announced that Angela recorded her first radio commercial today for their FM station. It was mentioned that construction was ongoing at the superstation so Angela hasn't been able to plant flowers there. Some more talk of Angela's gardens. Phone call at 0056 from Pirate Joe with signal reports. Reading of emails at 0059 and after one email program was cut off with no closing prayer or comments. Program was off at 0100 and immediately they went into a rerun of an old AWWW. John, Mid-North Indiana`` At 1400 July 13 check, 9330 is off again. Apparently no longer bothering to turn Brother Scare on the old transmitter when the new one be down; nor have I noticed him at additional hours on 7490+, continuing at 22-23 weekdays anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5800, July 13 at 0532, Oldies at S8 and WRMI ID by Bob, // 9395; secret transmission still missing from the WRMI skedgrid. I often detect a JBA carrier on 5800, but not often definite modulation. At this hour only one other transmitter of the 14 is scheduled, 5950 with SMTV, so who knows which of the other dozen, and which antenna are on 5800, not to mention *why*?

** BRAZIL. 11855.749, July 12 at 0533, JBA talk, S1-S2, obviously the always off-frequency R. Aparecida. Next check at 1206 I remeasure it at 11855.754 (11780 RNA is also audible now) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 9255, July 12 at 1328, VP talk in Chinese? Aoki/NDXC shows this as a *jammed Sound of Hope frequency. No others noticed in this area (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [and non]. 7435, July 12 at 1152, pulse jamming vs weak Chinese talk, i.e. CRI eastward from Beijing during this hour. Radio Martí is on 7435 only at 03-05 UT: the incompetent DentroCuban Jamming Command lets it run anyway, Commies vs Commies! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 13739.243, July 12 at 1258, RHC is only S5-S7 here, and once again knocked itself way off-frequency, 1301 ID; while // 13700.0 has just come on much stronger, S9+20. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1319.959, July 12 at 1220 UT, low audible het caused by KCLI Clinton always off-frequency, beating against something I really can`t null, probably KLWN Lawrence KS approx. opposite direxion. With both nulled I get some music, but I am really looking for KWHN Fort Smith AR which is news/talk, since the July/August MW News reported from UK: ``NORTH AMERICAN NEWS --- 1320 KWHN Fort Smith, AZ ]sic] – operating at reduced power (1 kW vs licensed 5 kW) from a longwire antenna due to flooding, also affecting 950 KFSA which is silent`` Just how much power can a longwire tolerate? I do not measure KCLI until 1543 UT when there is no confusing QRM. The MW Offset list shows relatively recent data, but no KWHN: http://mwlist.org/mwoffset.php?khz=1320 1319.9615 KCLI (Clinton, OK) 2018-01-23 1319.9947 KLWN (Lawrence, KS) 2018-01-23 i.e. 33.2 Hz apart, but KLWN off-frequency-minus itself by 5.3 Hz; while my measurement of KCLI puts it 41 Hz below exact 1320.000 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 34, July 12 at 1354 UT, KMYT-TV 41-1 Tulsa is intermittently decoding, as Hepburn tropo map forecast for 15 UT shows Enid in a fair/level 2 band, Tulsa in moderate/level 3. A number of other Bad VHF/UHF signals, such as somewhat decoding on RF 21, KUOT OKC at 1410; but I stick with this one exploring its subs: 41-1 is MyTV – no surprise 41-2 is GetTv 41-3 is GritTV 41-4 is HNI per PSIP, but H&I per bugs mostly in the LR corner; it stands for Heroes & Icons, a channel we don`t get from OKC. 1400 UT starting `High Chaparral`. Pro arte, I snap a number of DTV pixel breakups on 41-4, such as: http://www.w4uvh.net/KMYT1.jpg http://www.w4uvh.net/KMYT2.jpg http://www.w4uvh.net/KMYT3.jpg http://www.w4uvh.net/KMYT4.jpg (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9330.00, July 12 at 0526, WBCQ-6 with WLC Radio is holding up tonight, still VG S9 to S9+10. Next chex starting at 1200 find NO signal on 9330, nor at 1542. As I mentioned in previous report, revised HFCC sked appears to be 12 hours out of whack. So if we don`t hear 9330 at 19-24 UT, we should instead look for Arabic on 15180 at 19-22 and 11705 at 22-24. That makes a lot more sense propagationally than starting 15180 at 2 am EST in Maine! 7490+v, July 12 at 1151, no signal from WBCQ (or WWCR yet). No sign yet of WBCQ putting Brother Scare on this transmitter at ``all unsold times``, since the other apocalyptix at WLC have pushed him off 9330+v. I wonder if he will be shoehorned into various `open` hour or half-hour slots during the existing briefer span, instead of AAAWWW playbax, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 530, July 10 when visiting Wichita, no signals heard there or around South Haven from the Kansas Turnpike Authority`s TIS relaying Wichita NOAA Weather Radio. The FCC TIS list does not find it (or never?) and it`s the very bottom entry in this long roster http://www.mwlist.org/mwlist_quick_and_easy.php?area=3&kHz=530 since no callsign was known for it. With `K530AM` Vance AFB still silent, on a quiet day we ought to be able to detect something from nearby Kansas if any exist (Glenn Hauser, KS, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1190, July 12 at 1215 UT, ``69 degrees at our studios in Beloit``, i.e. KVSV, U4 2300/90 watts should now be on day power, immediately overcome by EWTN promos, from further KDMR Kansas City MO, U2 5000/500. KVSV in north-central Kansas, pattern is circle tangent direxional to NW, not very good for us to the south, while KDMR is ND (Keep Doting on Maria Regina --- what else could it mean?) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report despatched at 1710 UT July 12
