** ALBANIA. 9855-, July 12 at 0127, R. Tirana still hum-roar well atop the interval signal, as various departments of the station are apparently trying to figure out what`s causing it. Christian Milling of Radio 700 sends an old recording of the Tirana IS in some different variations on the same tune, I plan to play on next World of Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 4861.5, July 12 at 0141, JBA carrier; the off-frequency where Carlos Gonçalves, Portugal reports Rádio Alvorada, Londrina (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BRAZIL. 11934.6-, July 12 at 0126, Rádio RB2 is OFF, which ought to be audible since its neighbor 11925.2, Rádio Bandeirantes is in Portuguese at S3. Other RB2 on 9724.9 was detected a bit earlier in bandscan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA. 9526-, July 11 around 1305, no signal from VOI. Seems to be missing a lot lately. Ron Howard agrees it was off today, last heard on July 8. Atsunori Ishida site http://rri.jpn.org says it has not been heard since July 8 except for 5 minutes of carrier on July 9 (And RRI Makassar 4750v not heard since June 8) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** RUSSIA. 7295, July 11 at 1259, I`m listening to the JBA carrier, presumed R. Sakha, Yakutsk, but it stays on past 1300, 1301, finally off at 1301:49.5* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, July 11 around 1145, no signal from SIBC (nor on day frequency 9545). Ron Howard agrees not heard at 1115 today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SOUTH AFRICA [and non]. 3320, July 12 at 0139, Radio Sonder Grense is S9+10, much stronger than usual, Afrikaans speech. There is always some signal from this in our evenings. I check 4949.7 whether Angola is also enhanced, but it`s not, maybe S6 like the noise level, but no modulation to be heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SRI LANKA. 11905, July 12 at 0114:48.5, the S2 SLBC prélude starts playing on the carrier which has just come on; Instead of a 2 + 1 mis-timesignal, I only hear 1 + 1 ending at 0115:17.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U K [non]. 9835.0, July 12 at 0119, JBA carrier brings to mind Malaysia, which is registered 24 hours, but is anything else more likely now? Yes, HFCC shows BBC Hindi via UAE at 0100-0130, but the Bengali half-hour which follows switches to the Thailand relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1833 monitoring: confirmed Monday July 11 after 2330 on WBCQ 9330.0, very poor. Next: 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. 7505.00, July 12 at 0109, WRNO is off again tonight --- but recheck at 0128, now it`s on at S9+45, presumably the `Haven` show discussing a murder, somewhat undermodulated. Dave Zantow in the boresight of WRNO, Janesville WI tells me he is still getting so much splatter that it QRMs 7490 WBCQ. I could hear splatter down to 7495, but enough of WBCQ 7490 at S9+40 to hold its own here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7489.90, July 12 at 0131, WBCQ, S9+40 with a ``WINS, New York`` ID and some classic rock still at 0143; what`s this, instead of usual Brother Scare after 0100? Before 0100 I was listening to WBCQ webcast for `From the Isle of Music`. Bill acknowledged our help in publicizing his show as he was closing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5810, 11520, 11870, July 12 at 0110, all three WEWN frequencies are on and strong; 11870 at S9+30 brings with it the screeching sounds in the sidebands. Did not check an hour earlier whether they were AWOL again then like previous dates (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 12104.98, July 12 at 0114, WTWW-3 is S9+30 and this hour tonight is in --- wait for it --- Yoruba, where in Nigeria it`s 2+ am (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5050, July 12 at 0116, WWRB is on again this Monday night/UT Tuesday, gospel huxter about the apocalypse, S9+30 but lo-fi modulation on the program feed, and some cutting out (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 0439 UT July 12 _ 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.
