** BRAZIL [and non]. 9565, July 11 at 0545 algo talk VP under Cuban pulse jamming left on 24 hours? While R. Martí is here only at 20-24. Only thing in HFCC is BEC site in Algeria, which we know is still imaginary (will it ever appear?), so in Aoki we find the only thing is SRDA Curitiba --- a rarity on this frequency here, but Carlos Gonçalves confirmed it was active, logged on 9656.05, July 1 at 2132. At this time I am getting plenty of other ZY variable frequencies --- 9630, 9645, 9665, 11765, 11815, 11855 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 12950, July 11 at 1255, CNR1 jammer, very poor, and only one heard out-of-band from 11 to 19 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 11950, July 11 at 1254, RHC is splattering up to 20 kHz above here. After 1400, `Cartas a la Redacción` - letters to the editor, but really all about some monument in central Cuba to the over-rated Che Guevara (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NEW ZEALAND. 6170, UT Sat July 11 at 1307, RNZI with fair signal, sufficient for a while, several Pacific reports, including interview with re-issued `Eyes of Fire` author about how the Rainbow Warrior helped relocate some Marshall Islanders who had to evacuate their atoll after Bikini H-bomb tests; someone from NOAA Coral Reef Watch about how rising CO2 levels are threatening oceans; a project for ten fish canneries at Madang. RNZI skeds differ about when this starts, at 1308 or 1310, both wrong. Blurb for current show: ``Tagata o te Moana for 11 July 2015 --- The latest on the troubles in Nauru; memories of the Rainbow Warrior's last voyage; A call to cct [sic] now over climate change or the ocean will be lost; unease lingers of major project on PNG's Madang lagoon; Prospective Pacific exporters told to tell the history of their food; Closer ties for tourism and agriculture in Pacific; and the struggles to make the grade for some of the nations at the Pacific Games`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NIGERIA [non]. 13775, July 11 at 0600, Nigerian Armed Forces Radio via RMI via Issoudun, FRANCE is dead air until modulation cuts on late at 0602.5, JIP music, usual good signal way over here. Jeff White had told us earlier on July 10: ``Glenn: They have now decided to continue indefinitely until further notice. Jeff``. 0606.5 again that long SMS number in Hausa, music past 0612; 11825 unchecked this time, reliably much inferior (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, KUCO, Edmond-OKC, our only classical music station, is fringe in Enid, can`t get a noise-free signal especially if desire stereo (and one does!!); often QRMed by Radio Kansas, KHCC Hutchinson from the other side. Thus we are forced to rely on KUCO webcast. For past week or two it`s been down a lot, and now we find that Real Audio has been abandoned for some kind of flash player. RA was working just fine, not broken, so why get rid of it? The Flash thing doesn`t want to play, and when it does has dropouts, unusable! I may be forced to find other stations` webcasts of some of my favorite KUCO programs and programmes, such as `The Score`, cinema music. I complained to manager Brad Ferguson, explaining the problem: ``Brad, Since your signal into Enid is fringe, we can`t get it noise-free, and certainly not if we want stereo, which we definitely do. Thus the only alternative is streaming. It appears you have quit Real Player, now for Flash, only?? I`m trying to listen on Flash, after several attempts to start it (and finding that you have to keep the home page up and not click on any other links from it), but it keeps dropping out. Not enjoyable. Real Player worked just fine, and furthermore had the great advantage of being able to pause it, even tho it`s a live stream. I don`t know of any other players which do this. It`s also annoying that there is no visual indication with the flash whether it is playing or not, nor any way to adjust it. Please bring back the Real alternative. Or preferably find a way to get a translator/satellite FM going in Enid. Regards, Glenn Hauser`` and got this reply: ``Hi Glen, UCO has dropped Real Player and Windows Media. In their place, they are using Kaltura which you will find on the web page in the upper left hand corner where the other players were. Kaltura is supposed to work on every e-device. Brad`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 105.7, July 11 at 1446 UT, ESPN Radio is new here; seems they spend about half the time promoting various ESPN radio and TV networks, BORING! But then, any sportstalk whatsoever is boring to me. No local ID heard at hourtop, still going at 1509 UT. Can get it only by sidetuning to 105.73 or so on the PL-880 to avoid local 105.5 translator. This is the new KRDR in Alva OK, which came on one day in June relaying 98.3 from Kiowa KS, and then off again. Perhaps this is its final relay, to stay? Tnx to Richard N Allen between Billings and Perry OK, who tipped me about that, and this morning about this, first at 1409 UT July 11: ``Glenn: I'm hearing ESPN Radio on 105.7. The station does not ID, but there have been ads for the Joplin area, and a couple of "espn1007.com" announcements. I'm wondering if it's KRDR? Signal is covering up KROU. Richard. Sent from my iPad`` And followed up at 1432 UT: ``Glenn: I just found KSHQ, "ESPN 100.7", Deerfield MO, is owned by Media One. They also purchased the CP for KRDR from Patrick Parker. So that probably answers my question! Richard. Sent from my iPad`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PAPUA NEW GUINEA [non]. 12025, July 11 at 0546, NBC relay via Shepparton, good signal as usual this hour, discussing bronze medal for some game. Circa 0230, 12025 is unheard, not propagating yet, tho it supposedly starts at 2200. 6075, July 11 at 1242, NBC relay via Shepparton, once again the second SSOB after 5830 WTWW, but totally the SSOB from the West. Listener mail acknowledged from Manus et al., in English, 1244 mixing into Tok Pisin; 1245 song. 1258 still music, rock with autotune as usual running late past hourtop, 1301 announcement, weakening, and now the third SSOB as much stronger RNZI has just opened on 6170. 6075 inaudible by 1400 by when it nominally closes until 1900 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U K [non?]. 11975, July 11 at 1405, sillyballgame in English, unlisted frequency, mentions Serena, so it`s Wimbledon tennis tournament live on BBCWS (as also on ESPN TV cable). Poor signal, M&W commentators. Only thing in HFCC A-15 is a wooden registration from Radio Sultanate of Oman from Thumrait, but that doesn`t mean this is the other site in Oman for BBC; more likely Singapore. Ivo Ivanov in Bulgaria was also hearing this after 1300 on 9410, another unknown site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A.
