** ETHIOPIA. 7138-7148, Oct 10 at 0353, DRM-style jamming noise, but cannot
detect Eritrea carrier amid circa 7146, and strangely not so much of it on the
plus side. This is about S8, while just up the exclusive worldwide 40m hamband,
louder S9+25 DRM noise jamming from 7164 to 7186, obliterating any Eritrean
carrier which might have been on its other frequency, 7175 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 3325, Oct 10 at 1248, the SSOB at S8-S5 in Indonesian talk, so
RRI Palangkaraya; also carrier on low side of 3345-, so RRI Ternate. See also
UNIDENTIFIED for many more Asian carriers (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11600, Oct 10 at 1257, Denge Kurdistane with Kurdish music
at S9+10, flutter, weaker than 11860 Yemen non. Talking after 1300, 1322 music,
1340 talk. By 1418 this is S9 to S9+10, stronger than 11860, but talking about
Kurdistan. I prefer the music! Site presumably BULGARIA during this segment
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1846 monitoring: NOT confirmed Sunday Oct 9 at 2330 on
9330v-CUSB as WBCQ is inaudible, apparently off the air (7490+ is still on the
air). Confirmed UT Monday Oct 10 after 0030 on WRMI, 7730, very good. Confirmed
on Area 51 webcast UT Monday Oct 10 at 0300 but NOT on 5130v-AM as this WBCQ is
also inaudible, off the air (while 7490 remains; no 3250v either). Confirmed UT
Monday Oct 10 at 0345, amid the 0330 broadcast on WRMI 9955, S9+25 but Cuban
pulse jamming audible underneath: tnx a lot, Arnie! I wouldn`t dream of jamming
your boring repetitive DX program full of clich?s; no need to. Next WORs:
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 [and non]. 680, Oct 10 at 1236 UT sunrise here, ``America`s number one
sports station, KNBR, 680, the sports leader``. At over 1354 miles/2178 km
city-to-city, not easily heard, but this is the best time for it, the only Bay
Area station making it here, the other bigshots without a clear frequency (and
slightly further than NYC, also rare except sometimes 880 WCBS).
A few minutes earlier I was getting news in Spanish on 680, presumably usual
XEORO Sinaloa, as the lowest-frequency XE still propagating vs the inexorable
westward terminator (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** YEMEN [non]. 11860, Oct 10 at 1257, Republic of Yemen Radio presumably via
SAUDI ARABIA, with great music I enjoy, and S9+10 as its `season` has resumed.
Same level now as 11600 Kurdistan non via Bulgaria. 1300 both into talk; 1322
still talking here. 1340 both talking (but there`s World Music to be heard on
11580 WRMI weekdays at 13-15). By 1418, 11860 YL talk has diminished to S7-S9,
compared to 11600, minished to S9+10 peaks (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** ZAMBIA. 11680, Monday October 10 at 0528, Voice of Hope - Africa, gospel
rock ending with applause, African-accented YL preacher with today`s Bible
reading from I Corinthians; 0529 transmission break of about 20 seconds! Back
on to plug upcoming `Moments in Bible Prophecy` at 7:45 [CAT = 0545 UT]. As
expected, 11680 is good at S9+10, while // 9680 is but a JBA carrier. Both
allegedly 100 kW, the USward direxional 315 degree antenna on 11680 making all
the difference. Scheduled 05-08 UT Mon-Fri on both. No QRM at all, and per Aoki
the only problem could be North Korea but it stops Japanesing at 0500. Now, is
there any secular programming on the schedule, or at least quasi-secular? Of
course not! Except for hard-core intervals like MiBP, the tri-hour is `Rev.
Joyce Mwanza, Music in the Morning - LIVE`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Oct 10, UT:
At 1219, 774-NW, 747-NW, 693-NW
At 1221, 657-??, 594-NW (distinct from 594+ spur from local KZLS 1640)
At 1223, 828-NW, 873-NW, 882-NW
At 1226, 1098-W
At 1227, 1116-WSW
At 1229, 1566-NW
All on the DX-398 with internal ferrite antenna only. Our sunrise today: 1235
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1480+, Oct 10 at 0552 UT, low audible het (LAH) looping E/W, so
not either of my closests, KBXD and KQAM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4766, Oct 10 at 1252, open carrier at S5, stronger than 4750.
Suspected idling RTTY from western North America, as discussed in DXLDs 16-27
and 16-16.
>From 1248 to 1255 Oct 10, scans of 120, 90, and 60m finds more carriers, most
>on usual spots from Asia, skipping the major ones on 4835 Australia and 4940
>China:
2325, 3345-, 4750, 4790, 4800, 4810, 4820(2), 4870-, 4885, 4895, 4910, 2485,
4920, 4970, 5010, 5040, 5050 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11770.921, Oct 10 at 0534, open carrier with flutter, making me
suspect it`s real, but gone once I unplug my router, possibly by coincidence.
Nigeria, maybe? Only thing scheduled on 11770 now is Urumqi (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ALBANIA. 9854.95, Oct 11 at 0128, R. Tirana IS and humroar are barely
audible at S3. Other Albanian site with CRI English relay was good and clear
even before 0100 on 9570. See also TIBET [non] for 9855 occupant then (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA. 11710.59, UT Tue Oct 11 at 0043, RAE in Spanish, talking about
Roma, C?rdoba, 1914y, poor signal, language change for this hour. Recheck Oct
11 at 0349, now I measure it on 11710.614, still poor but can tell it`s in
English, again talking about C?rdoba.
Programming was confirmed to have started Thursday Oct 6, but explaining the
no-shows over the weekend, Arnaldo eSlaen told the DXLD yg on October 6: ``Hi!
I am Arnaldo Slaen, manager from "Actualidad DX.com.ar", the new DX programme
in Spanish with 45 minutes each Saturday. These days the station is
transmitting only music and identifications. The new programmes from RAE begin
next week. I am going to report the new sked this Saturday in all DX Lists. 73
Arnaldo``
So presumably from Oct 15 there finally will be Saturday and Sunday broadcasts,
and may we expect a 45-minute English translation of the DX program during the
UT Sunday 0300 hour? Arnaldo is already deeply involved by phone in the
53-minute weekly DX program `La Rosa de Tokio` via WRMI et al., so I assume
this one on RAE ATTW will be different (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COLOMBIA. 5910.01, Oct 11 at 0103, Spanish at S7 citing a cap?tulo, so
another erratic appearance by Alcarav?n Radio.
6010.145, Oct 11 at 0104, an even weaker signal here, presumably sibling
station The Voice of Thy Conscience, and traces of another off-frequency
slightly higher(?) which would be R. Inconfid?ncia, Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11930, Oct 11 at 0039, post-Mart? there is not much jamming noise
needed, but again am hearing those curious strings of beeps, how many varying,
and the pitch of each string varying (with BFO on, so rather their exact
frequency offset is changing). Evidently some alternative application of the
DentroCuban Jamming Command network, but why and what? To convey any
intelligence, the only known factors are number of beeps, and exact frequency
offset (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4055, as I am about to post this report, no time to turn on the
radio, but just received from TGAV this notice dated 0407 UT Oct 11. It should
normally be on air until about 0610*:
``We ask your pardon to all our listeners of Radio Truth short wave at 4055
kHz. Our signal is irregular right now due to the fact that it is raining, and
there is nobody working at Mount Horeb, and we can't do anything to avoid it.
There is nobody at Mount Horeb. Every time it rains, our link antenna fails,
and there is nobody to correct the situation there. We have not found a person
to work there. The situation will be corrected by itself when it stops raining.
Our Internet system and Transworld Radio Truth are funtioning normally.
Dr. ?dgar Am?lcar Madrid, Manager and Director``
(Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OMAN. 11650, Oct 11 at 0046, S3-S5 signal with Qur`an by a tenor, surely not
a soprano, so presumably R. Sultanate of Oman is again on this unscheduled
frequency overnight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Oct 11 at 0059, JBA carrier with splash from 5985 WRMI adding up
to S7, R. Chaski, Urubamba, until autocutoff at 0101:07*, which is exactly 1
minute later than last check 9 days ago, Oct 2 until 0100:07*, or 6.666+
seconds later per noctem (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** THAILAND [non?]. 15565, Oct 11 at 0034, S4 signal with heavy Doppler
flutter. Scheduled this hour only is VOA Chinese at 30 degrees from Udorn, but
I may well be hearing the CNR1 ChiCom jammer instead, as even this is a lot
more signal than I am getting from R. Thailand`s so-called North American
service on nearby 15590 at 38 degrees from same site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [non]. 9855.0, Oct 11 at 0048, very poor S4-S5 talk in Chinese?
Scheduled this hour only is VOA Tibetan via KUWAIT, and could well be hearing
the CNR1 ChiCom jammer instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 9735, Oct 11 at 0050, very poor music with flutter, evident aside
9730 Romania which is not overpowering tonight. It`s Voice of Turkey in Turkish
at 72 degrees. They no longer bother to broadcast any Turkish for North America
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST)
** U S A. 15220, Oct 10 at 1948, S9+10, open carrier/dead air, typical warmup
behavior of VOA, but nothing scheduled here. I stay with it and hear no
modulation except some occasional crackles until: 1959, ``Voice of America,
Washington DC, signing-on``, but modulation and/or carrier (partially?) keep
cutting off and on, ruining Yankee Doodle; 2000 joining Kriyol language
service, not mentioning any frequencies, but right into news/discussion about
Syklon Mathieu.
I quickly scan all other bands, 13, 11, 9, 7, 17, 18 and 21 MHz but the only //
found is 11720 which is almost same level and synchronized. Keeps going past
2015 rather than cutting to irrelevant VOA One rock music filler as they were
doing during the axual hurricane strike a week ago with 15-minute Kriyol
hourtop new relays on SW, 7305 evenings and later 7405 (but missing any
Kriyol?), plus 9565 in the mornings; but that all stopped October 5.
I wonder if these 15220/11720 broadcasts picked up immediately and we just now
found them, or just now inaugurated? VOA website is of course no help,
Lavwadlamerik, http://www.voanouvel.com --- can`t find anything about a pwogram
on any SW frequency, but lots about TV and podcasts. I suppose Haitians can
only know about them by word of mouth, bandscanning themselves, or maybe
mentions on FM or TV relays, in which case they don`t need SW. So how long will
this go on?
O, 2039 recheck, both these are gone again, so must have been for about one
semihour. Back later, different frequencies lower for evening? Not back at 2120
rerecheck. Then I check all four frequencies sometime during each successive
hour, 22, 23; Oct 11 after 00, and 01, and no show of any more VOA Creole or
One filler music.
BTW, what timezone is Ayiti in? WRTH says UT -4 DST until Nov 6 like USA; but
this says Ha?ti does not observe DST this year, i.e. UT -5:
http://www.timeanddate.com/time/change/haiti
This means altho it is well to the east by latitude of most of the USA, except
New England, spanning 72 degrees W, and of course, also *east* of Sputnik Kyba,
its local clock is one hour *behind*, not ahead of those countries!
But it`s not Haiti which is out of step, rather those who impose daylight
shifting upon themselves. Helloooo, way out there in the Caribbean, it`s the
same clock time as in Enid, west of 97.5, so which ought to be on UT -7
yearound (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 15630, Oct 10 at 1730, VOA opening Oromo presumably via
Woofferton UK, clear of jamming --- but at 1731 I hear a carrier come on
hetting it from lo side, approx. 15628.7, but before I can pin it down, at 1732
it switches to broadband DRM noise jamming, no doubt from ETHIOPIA, but at
least over here, VOA is still readable if one understood the language. The
brief AM carrier must be part of the set-up process for the DRM jamming
transmission.
Then I look for the other frequencies: 13860, nothing audible, as to be
expected if sites are correct as via Wolfgang B?schel in DXLD 16-29: Thailand
until 1800, switch to UAE for the Amharic hour.
``Oromo to East Africa

1730-1800 additional 15700LAM``
15700, Oct 10 at 1734, only a JBA carrier here, as before. In the 12`s, at 1735
I have JBA carriers on 12140+ off-frequency? And 12110 (12105 WTWW not on till
circa 1800, maybe). DRM noise jamming is probably on these, but all too weak to
propagate over here on the lower band. Nothing heard on 12080, 12040 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1846 monitoring: confirmed Monday October 10 at 2330
on WBCQ, 9330.069v-CUSB, back up to usual fair signal. 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. 11580, Oct 10 at 2001 check, WRMI reconfirmed still with World Music
starting this hour at least on Monday. Altho changes have been made all
A-season, the WRMI transmission and non-9955 program schedules now have a new
as-of date on them, October 6.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nEVwCMB9RSKowLzLXamyayVpCzjmPAw_SB1r3YOdzQc/edit?pref=2&pli=1#gid=0
still showing blankblox Mon-Tue-Wed 20-21 on 11580. I don`t notice any
significant changes since last I spied it a day or two ago.
7730, Oct 11 at 0058, S Asian song during WRMI World Music still running this
hour on UT Tue but after 0100 it`s back to BS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, Oct 10 at 2004, KVOH in another expanded transmission beyond
nominal 1900* --- Spanish from some iglesia. Perhaps staying on to demonstrate
how victimized they are by co-religionists at LeSEA, major splatter from 17765
WHRI, Christians vs Christians! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9930, Oct 10 at 2007, S9+20 open carrier except for big hum, from
WTWW-2. So are they trying to bring Dave Ramsey back, or what? 9475 is nominal,
and 12105 is AWOL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9605, Oct 11 at 0126, S7 signal, but just barely modulated,
presumably the WHRI relay of KBS World Radio in Spanish. Not the first time
thus. In case it might be instead the RHC spur from 9535, I check that and no
match now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1680, Oct 11 at 0112 UT, ``One great song after another, only on 99.7
? MyFM``. I copied it as 93.7, but translator listed wagging this dog of KRJO
Monroe LA, is on 99.7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1500, Oct 11 at 0115 UT, really bad noise from east/west, QRMing
KSTP sports from the NNE unless nulled. Different sound but presumably same
spoiler mystery station we have been hearing for months making unstable hetties
above and below 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11770.933, Oct 10 at 1737, S3 carrier, too weak to be sure if
there`s some modulation or not. Cf previous report: 11770.921, Oct 10 at 0534
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 12000, Oct 10 at 1736, about S6 open carrier, dead air again
today as also heard Oct 5 at 0038. Maybe local, but I don`t hear it all the
time, or other times (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 12281-USB, Oct 11 at 0038, weak 2-way in Japanese. Must be some
maru as the 2002 SW Frequency Guide by Klingenfuss, which I have handy for
quick reference, hoping ute info isn`t too outdated, shows this frequency is
ship channel 1218, paired with QSX 13128 shore stations, including JBO Tokyo,
but also others in Chile, Philippines, Cape Verde, Italy, Belgium, Turkey,
which I`d think would lead to a lot of conflicts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
