** BRAZIL. 11815, Sept 2 at 0547, R. Brasil Central, poor with music, and no spur crackle from 11780 for a change; however, splatter around 11780 is worse up to 20 kHz above and below. Further chex into Sept 3 have not found the 11710/11745/11815 spurs; holding breath hoping they have been permanently erased, but not counting on it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11855+, Sept 2 at 0549, R. Aparecida, poor with devotional (what else?) in Brazuguese, better than // 9630v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CANADA. 2748.95-USB, Sept 2 at 0140, YL robot with marine weather in English, i.e. scheduled at this time, VAR-3 Fundy NS, i.e. Yarmouth just started (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. 14920, Sept 3 at 1248, CNR1 jammer, poor with flutter; none in the 16s, 15s, 12s. Not many of these logged lately with depressed FE propagation 13870, Sept 3 at 1249, algos making lo het: probably CNR1 jammer vs Sound of Hope; or RFA Burmese via UAE is also scheduled, and the latter could be off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 11650, Sept 2 at 0127, pulse jamming against nothing, presumably a stray; only thing scheduled here is CRI Chinese via Urumqi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EGYPT. 9315.0, Sept 2 at 0112, R. Cairo S9+5 but open carrier/dead air instead of Spanish 9965.2, Sept 2 at 0117, R. Cairo with whine, open carrier/dead air instead of Arabic 11935.0, Sept 2 at 0129, R. Cairo S7, open carrier/dead air instead of Spanish 12070, Sept 2 at 0129, R. Cairo, S8 with undermodulated Spanish but not too distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GREECE. 9420 & 9935, Sept 2 at 0113, VOGs are off again, UT Wed, so it`s not only weekends. I have discerned no pattern to their comings and goings (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** IRAN [and non]. 9740, Sept 2 at 0119, open carrier, 0121 some JBA talk, and music past 0130. In this case it must be VIRI as sked in Urdu 0120-0220, 250 kW, 84 degrees from Ahwaz; rather than R. Sultanate of Oman extending its 22-24 frequency, despite not hearing it on 9500 or 15140. It`s probably on the latter, not propagating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** LITHUANIA. 9400, Sept 2 at 0113, S4 signal in central Asian language, i.e. IBB in Uighur, 01-02, 100 kW, 79 degrees via Sitkunai, per HFCC; i.e. Radio Free Asia, and *jammed per Aoki by the ChiCom but none of that heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 740-, Sept 3 at 0659 UT, with auroral boost, horrible low rumbling het against KRMG Tulsa, and somewhat separable with LSB tuning on the DX-398 and nulling: PSA about Puebla; Radio Fórmula, Chihuahua also mentioned but call ID for flagship in the DF, XERFR 970. Really must be XEQN Torreón, Coahuila, 10/1 kW, the only other Fórmula on 740 being in Q.Roo (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO [and non]. 780v, Sept 3 at 0702, WBBM is wiped out by auroral conditions, instead ID for Exa-FM, 3-minute-fast 2:05 TC, making low rumbling het but not as bad as 740 XEQN/KRMG. Last year`s IRCA log and WRTH 2015 show two Exas on 780, but surely it`s the closer one, XEWGR, Monclova, Coahuila, 10/0.25 kW, rather than 5 kW daytimer, XEZN in Celaya, Guanajuato (and Cantú as of last Feb listed no Guanajuatan on 780). I can null both this and what`s left of WBBM to hear 720-watt KCEG Fountain CO with country music in the clear (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NIGERIA. 9690, Sept 2 at 0557, VON cacophony IS is the SSOB leading up to Hausa hour, but nothing on 7255 next to 7250 Vatican. 24+ hours later, neither VON frequency audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6925.12-AM, Sept 2 at 0110, JBA carrier, presumed Liquid Radio, as per http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,23240.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6955-USB, Sept 2 at 0107, pirate music at S9, 0108 long pause, 0109 more music; 0121 still music; 0131 sounds much stronger, rock jumpstarts, stops, resumes; 0138 animal sound effects, 0139.5 rock. This thread says it was XLR8, on the air intermittently for over 5 hours, 0057 until 0605: http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,23238.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. Re: don`t you believe WFSM call change on 1650 from KYHN --- Glenn - The CDBS database has this station back to KYHN as of Friday, August 28 - should be fixed in AM Query by Monday. 73, (David Yocis, NRC, WORLD OF RADIO 1789, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Not checked AM Query until 0410 UT Sept 2, and yes indeed, no WFSM, and KYHN is back; and no sign of WFSM in 87114`s Call Sign History, either! Now, FCC site is down until Sept 8 for ``modernizing`` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PERU. 5980, Sept 2 at 0056, no signal from R. Chaski, evidently off the air already so no autocutoff to time tonight around 0105 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SRI LANKA. 11905, Sept 2 at 0114:46.5, music starts on only S1 carrier; mis-timesignal ends at 0115:18.5, SLBC ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1788 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday Sept 2 at 1315 on WRMI 9955; good, no jamming (preceded by FG Radio reading from Gandhi complaining about railways in India; followed by Viva Miami about hurricane preparedness). WOR Also confirmed on WBCQ 7490 webcast, Wednesday at 2100. WORLD OF RADIO 1789 monitoring: ready for first broadcasts Sept 3: Thu 1130 WRMI 9955 to SSE Thu 2100 WRMI 7570 to NW Fri 2130 WRMI 15770 to NE Fri 2130.5 WRMI 7570 to NW Fri 2330 WRMI 5850 to NW Sat 0630 HLR 7265-CUSB to SW Sat 1430 HLR 7265-CUSB to SW Sat 1930v WA0RCR 1860-AM ND?

BS comes and goes on 5110, but still missing from schedule as of Sept 4: http://schedule.wbcq.com/main.php?fn=sked&freq=5110 maybe a mistake? He is on 7490 sked 01-03 UT Tue-Sat, weekends longer: http://schedule.wbcq.com/main.php?fn=show_program&id=56 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 6220-AM, Sept 2 at 0056 UT check, JBA carrier, much stronger than JJBA carrier on 8820, i.e. the WWCR 7520 plus/minus WNQM 1300 mixes, no doubt still relaying WMDB 880 Nashville TN, La Ranchera. 6220 still audible at 0145 with ranchera music, Spanish, but not 8820. New NRC AM Log for 1300 does not mention WMDB relay but 24h WNQM as ``Radio Vida`` --- is that branding still in effect at any hours? So now into September, WNQM should be cutting 1300 from 50 kW ND to 5 kW direxional night power at 0000 UT, but still enough to be detected on the two SW frequencies. I was going to look up the morning transition time, but FCC website is down until Sept 8 as per this intercept: https://www.fcc.gov/blog/modernizing-fcc-s-it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 6163.5-USB, Sept 3 at 1235, 2-ways in colloquial Spanish intruders, referring to ``puta madre``, ``amanecer``, het from weak AM broadcaster on 6165, which per Aoki could be any of: India, China, Myanmar, Vietnam! Not to mention Chad and Zambia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 7292.0-USB, Sept 2 at 0134, some ham discussing transmitting from balloons, but with QRM from AM carriers and LSB hams. It seems these LSB-rejexionists on 40m appear only in the 7260-7295 or so range (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report despatched at 1712 UT September 3 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
