** ALBANIA. 9854.95, June 18 at 0124, R. Tirana IS, audible under very heavy hum, distortion, motorboating, around S6. Recheck at 0152, ONLY the noise, humroar, no program audio: was it that way thruout? 0158 once again the IS is audible underneath the noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9420, June 18 at 0202, ERA IS and ID, into music, very good S9+20, but no signal on 9935, 11645. (I did have something on 15630 earlier which reminded me of Greece, but now it must have been AWR/Sri Lanka) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NORTH AMERICA. UNIDENTIFIED 6935.0-USB, June 18 at 0200, music and yelling at S9 which is about equal to the noise level. No pirates had been detected during the previous hour. This was also unID to others: http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,28687.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1830 monitoring: ACB Radio Mainstream, Friday June 17 at 1600, confirmed with 1830, having played 1828 instead of 1829 last week, on its 3-hourly repeat cycle starting at 0100 UT Fridays. WOR 1830 also confirmed after 2130 UT Friday June 17 on WRMI 13695, very good, and 15770, weak (and presumably vice versa to the northeast of Okeechobee); also confirmed Fri 2330 on WBCQ 9330.03-CUSB, poor. Next: Sat 0630 HLR 6190-CUSB to SW Sat 1430 HLR 7265-CUSB to SW Sat 1930v WA0RCR 1860-AM ND Sat 2230 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW Sun 0310v WA0RCR 1860-AM ND Sun 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW Mon 0030 WRMI 7730 to WNW Mon 0300v WBCQ 5130v Area 51 to WSW Mon 0330 WRMI 9955 to SSE Mon 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW Tue 1100 WRMI 9955 to SSE Tue 2130 WRMI 15770 to NE Tue 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW Wed 1315.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE Wed 2100 WBCQ 7490v to WSW Wed 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7489.93-AM, UT Sat June 18 at 0120 I start listening to WBCQ`s `Allan Weiner Worldwide` which is running way long this week having started at 0000. At 0130 he mentions some program info (which ought to be announced immediately on the website, but this is the best/only way to get it): new show confirmed, by Chris Hynek(?), he hopes he pronounces correctly but does not spell, taking over the 8 pm ET Wed slot on 7490 [UT Thu 0000], `Understanding Your Adversary`, maybe already from next week (that would replace an AWWW placeholder playback). Allan likes the title/concept but no further info about it. Then Allan says Tom Taylor`s European Music Radio will be on 7490, Saturday at 5 pm ET (which agrees with TT`s own latest publicity: ``European Music Radio Relays: 18th June 2016: 17.00 to 18.00 (Eastern Time) on 7490 KHz - to Central & North America via WBCQ``. Unfortunately when mentioning this on WOR 1830 I quoted from June BDXC-UK Communication which said: ``Saturday 18 June 2016: 2300 to 0000 (US Eastern Time) on 7490 kHz - Central & North America via WBCQ,`` which I dutifully converted correctly to Sunday June 19 at 0300-0400 UT!). Furthermore the WRTH A-16 update, even in its v.2 had yet a different time! Which we quoted originally in DXLD: ``0400-0500 .....s. NAm,CAm 7490bcq* 18th June``. All this no doubt caused by people refusing to express schedules in the first place, strictly in UT days and times from which there can be no confusion. So there you have three contradictory times for it, but most likely Saturday at 21-22 UT when reception on 7490v will be worthless out here, unlike either of the later times. Another new/special program, `Tom Cole? Theater`, with No Longer Amen? which is oldtime radio drama airing several times around the July 4 weekend on all frequencies, starting on 7490, June 26 at 5 pm [ET = Sunday 21 UT --- bumping `Marion`s Attic` ???] Allan adds that tonight 3250 is not on the air, because the modulation oscillator crapped out, and he`s going to have to repair it. Is also on 5130, which I then check at 0136 and find 5129.9-AM combined with the noise level = S9+10, i.e. very poor (and it`s not synchronized, evidently running again thru Area 51). 0138 finally Allan`s benedixion, but it`s never at the very end as he goes on with wrap-up comments until 0144 ceding to Brother Scare. I think he said something else would follow on 5130, but `Open Your Eyes People` [sic] is not on that schedule until 0200-0300. Axually, various callers/writers/and even Allan himself keep referring to ``5110`` despite having been forced to move to 5130v a few months ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9475 & 5830, June 18 at 0129, both possible WTWW-1 frequencies are off (and so are WTWW-2 as usual from 5085, 9930), but 12105, WTWW-3 is unusually VG this late, S9+20 at 0141 with the extra SFAW/PPP hatehour in English, while 5830 & 9475 are still off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 0350 UT June 18 _ 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.
