Yes, S9+30 5040 is on tonight in English, not always the case after 0500. But 5025 is S9+20 of dead air. No reverse leapfrog detectable, however, on 5010 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EGYPT. 9315, Oct 24 at 0252, R. Cairo ``English`` motorboating is only S5, much weaker than undermodulated Arabic on 9964.6. 9964.56, UT Mon Oct 24 at 0341, surprised to hear R. Cairo Arabic frequency in English! But it`s an Arabic language lesson, M&W alternating. Such a les ought to be within an English language service, not Arabic. Undermodulated as usual, but in this case narrowing bandwidth to about 230 Hz significantly improves readability. IIRC, there has been a previous report of English on 9965v after 0330 (when English nominally ends on 9315, which is now off.) 12085, the third Cairo frequency supposed to be on at this hour, is a mere JBA carrier at 0342 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ERITREA [and non]. 7136-7157, Oct 24 at 0334, DRM-style noise jamming from ETHIOPIA surrounding VOBME-1, 7145v, but no carrier from it audible. 7178-7191, Oct 24 at 0335, DRM-style noise jamming around 7185 JBA carrier from VOBME-2, but this noise sounds considerably different from the other one, and is unusually narrow-band, weaker (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** FRANCE. 17615, Oct 24 at 1657, good signal HOA-ish music until 1659* with no ID, but it`s RFI Hausa, 500 kW at 170 degrees. The last thing everystation ought to broadcast before cutoff is an ID! Same transmitter could shift to 17620 for French from 1700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 11600, Oct 23 at 1255, Denge Kurdistane music at S9+10; 1259 YL announcement, modulation drops, and at 1300 signal drops to much weaker S5-S7; VERY smooth site switch with no echo overlap, presumably from PRIDNESTROVYE to BULGARIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MADAGASCAR. 6190, Oct 24 at 0252 check, still no signal from La Voz Alegre, MWV Spanish service, which ordinarily is quite well audible here; ditto the repeat on 6150 at 0314 check. 17640 also AWOL from APR English Oct 24 at 1804 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 800, Oct 24 at 0605 after multi-verse XE NA, barely hear a ``Ca??n`` ID, so XEROK, Ciudad Ju?rez, Chihuahua is still here, but much QRP vs KQCV OK nulled as much as possible; also a ``punto siete`` reference to FM //? But none is listed for XEROK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 1560, UT Mon Oct 24 at 0319 UT, `La Hora Nacional`. topic cultural events in Guanajuato, which I had heard publicized last week in a promo on some other XE. Not // much stronger 1570 XERF. Loops SW, whence the only possibility is XEJPV, Ciudad Ju?rez, Chihuahua, more like WSW. At 0331, 1560 has moved on to something else, while XERF is just wrapping up LHN from/about Guanajuao, so playout must have started at least a minute late there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TURKEY. 9515, Oct 24 at 0336, Turkish songs at S6-S4, so VOT is still active here with music fill in second part of hour. It had been missing from both Spanish frequencies after 0100 UT Oct 23, and I meant to check 9515 later that night. BTW, Alan Roe found that the DX Letterbox show got out of synch again from its bi-weekly scheduling, confirmed ON this Sat/UT Sun Oct 23-24, so next one should be Nov 5/6. But by then, the new B-16 schedule (same as A-16) will be in effect, for English: 1330 12035 Eu/NAm; 1730 11730; 1930 6050; 2130 9610; 2300 NAm 5960; 04 7240 & NAm 9655 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** UGANDA [non]. 15240, Oct 23 at 1801 check, R. Munansi via WWRB is on again this Sunday, good signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5085.5, Oct 24 at 0305-0312+, routine check whether WTWW-2 be on, instead hearing CW marker repeated. Very slow rate, so easy to copy despite very weak signal. Pauses of about a minute between iterations: ``WI2XJP WAYLAND MA FN42HI`` --- So it`s licensed experimental, the last 6 being grid locator, a lowfer beacon. No longer heard at 0346 recheck. Tried the ARRL/FCC/QRZ.com lookups first, but not ham and as such it`s not included. Further searching on call leads to: http://mailman.qth.net/pipermail/lowfer/2016-October/date.html [Lowfer] WI2XJP 5058.5 (dial upper sideband) 5059.5 (actual) BPSK31 k2ors at verizon.net Wed Oct 5 11:56:24 EDT 2016. Running PSK31 on 5058.5 kHz about 30W into inverted V Reports welcome! 73 Warren`` earlier: ``Sat Aug 20 21:45:04 EDT 2016 [Lowfer] WI2XJP PSK31 6.8 MH`` Well, now it`s a plain CW marker only. I`ll bet he picked this frequency knowing SW monitors, and even hams would be checking for WTWW on it --- and of course, operating at same time would be suicidal. QRZ.com does identify who K2ORS really is now: K2ORS USA flag USA WARREN H ZIEGLER, JR 157 Plain Rd Wayland, MA 01778 USA ``Active on HF AM and operate longwave experimental stations WH2XIL (formerly WD2XGJ on 137 kHz) and WE2XGR/1 (on 460-515 kHz) Big fan of the late Jean Shepherd who was the original holder of K2ORS. Excelsior!`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1848 monitoring: confirmed Sunday Oct 23 at 2330 on WBCQ, 9330.075v-CUSB, fair. Also confirmed UT Monday Oct 24 from 0300:40 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5130.05-AM. Also confirmed at 0339, the 0330 UT Monday WRMI broadcast on 9955, poor S2, then up to S7 and no jamming audible. Next: Mon 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW Tue 0030 WRMI 7730 to WNW [NOTE: this airing replaces Monday 0030!] 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 24 at 1430-1459.5, WRMI with World Music, mostly ME during first half. Altho never on sked grid, believe this is the most reliable and only 7-day-a-week hour of WM, 1400-1500. Still shown are 1300-1330 M-F on 11580, and 07-08 UT Tue-Fri on 7730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST) ** U S A. 5130.05, Oct 24 at 0348, reverby interview with someone inspired by Harry Partch, and his cloud-chamber, to explore non-traditional ``musical`` instruments, such as a $16 blender, vacuum cleaner, creme pies, bullhorns. I guess this was within Hobart Radio International as scheduled UT Mon 0330 on Area 51 via WBCQ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 11870, Oct 24 at 0248, this WEWN is still AWOL, while Spanish on 5810 is VG at 0256; and English on 11520 at S6. 11870 still off at 0540. How about in the daytime? 13830, Oct 24 at 1853, this is the WEWN missing now, while still on 12050 Spanish, 15610 English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9275, Oct 24 at 1657, no signal from WMLK, even tho it`s Monday during the nominal span starting at 1600; nor at 1804 recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1380, Oct 24 at 0321 UT, sports talk in English about Cubs is dominating and // echoing with 1020 KOKP Perry OK with is with Fox Sports Radio; 1380 from NE/SW, instead of usual KRCM Spanish religion from SSE on day power --- it may be there but very weak now. Altho KKRX 1380 Lawton OK has flipped to sports, it`s south of here, and with CBS Sports Radio (but exclusively??), and never heard at night. KHEY El Paso TX, 5000/500 U1, is Fox Sports Radio, and indeed at 0332 UT I hear Fox SR mentioned, so very likely this (and Ju?rez stations are in well). Only other could be KXFN St Louis, silent since last December, had sports format, and would have to be on reactivated 5 kW day pattern southwards (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1620, Oct 24 t 0315 UT, YL with weather for Pensacola, Milton, etc., in some detail, lows to be in mid-to-low 40s in the FL Panhandle; purple flags on the beach warning of jellyfish. ``Look at satellite weather`` so maybe a TV simulcast from a 10 pm CT newscast? So it`s WNRP, Gulf Breeze FL, 10/1 kW. This one is amazingly rare here --- 1620 dominated by NE, TX, or from that direxion, R. Rebelde, Cuba, usually without any sign of WNRP. Maybe they failed to decimate their power tonight? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 92.9, re my conclusion that Spanish here as heard in NW OK must be KSNZ Shamrock TX, got a reply from them setting me straight: ``Hi Glenn: Thanks for your inquiry. You would have been hearing KMML in Cimarron KS as they are full-time Spanish format at 92.9. I find them online at http://rockingmradio.com/kmml-am-2/ and their stream is at http://tunein.com/radio/La-Mexicana-929-s75484/ Best to you!

The area code 806 ads sure had me fooled. Maybe their coverage extends into the northern edge of TX. Glenn`` In fact the linked coverage map shows they do, e.g. stinky Perryton, but not the 92.9 transmitter, which from Cimarron is between Dodge and Garden Cities KS; but rather // KSMM, 100 kW on 101.5 from Liberal KS (which I had logged on my last NM trip thru the OK Panhandle last year). BTW, 101.5 is 3 minutes and 20 seconds north of the 37th parallel, so really in KS, not OK, and certainly not TX. This also relates to my non-Spanish 1470 log on Oct 13 of presumed KSMM (AM) Liberal KS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ZAMBIA. 13680, Sunday Oct 23 at 1310, JBA carrier; 11680 at same time, JBA music. Still unable to be sure Voice of Hope - Africa is really on the air with weekend-only sked of 12-17 UT on 13680 (but 11680 alternate possibility really happened at least once, by mistake?). We know it can achieve good signal even here, via longpath? Time to re?xamine what other stations might be on both at this hour, per Aoki. 11680: KCBS Pyongyang thruout. 13680: Sound of Hope until 1500 and consequently ChiCom jamming. BTW, as of Oct 16, Aoki fails to list Zambia at any time on either! 11680, Monday Oct 24 at 0538, no doubt that VOH-A is active now on its weekday morning service, S9-S5 YL preacher implying that God is the solution to Zambia`s problems -- but this frequency is not for Zambia, but far beyond, even US (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ZAMBIA. 5915, Oct 24 at 0255, undermodulated African choral music, presumably ZNBC. 5920 WHRI not very strong, and 5910 HJDH no problem either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED.

Chaski, until autocutoff at 0102:39.5*, which is 73 seconds later than last catch October 14 until 0101:26.5*, or averaging 6.4 seconds later each day, right on ``schedule``. So far in HFCC B-16 I don`t see any competitor for 5980 at this hour, unlike B-15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TURKEY. 9770, S7, and weaker 9870 with AIR CCI, Oct 25 at 0114, VOT Spanish is back in business after AWOL Oct 23 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1848 monitoring: confirmed Monday Oct 24 at 2330 on WBCQ, 9330.086v-CUSB, fair. Also confirmed at new time of 0030 UT Tuesday Oct 25 on WRMI, 7730, S9+30.

God help us!

Rechecking now following an item in the latest NASWA Flashsheet putting this on 9680, which I think must be a mistake. I do hear a JBA carrier there, which Aoki shows would be CNR1 jamming and/or RFA Tibetan via Kuwait this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 1521 kHz, Oct 25 at 0126 UT, in a TA JBA MW carrier bandscan I do detect one here, very weak against KOLM & KOKC 1520. By 0130 with extremely narrow bandwidth on the NRD-545, I think I am squeezing some audio thru, possibly Qur`an? So is the Saudi 2-megawatter at Duba back in business; or could it be CRI Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, reported testing last week after an absence, scheduled 00-02 in Russian? Aoki says 100 kW, WRTH says 500 kW, but it`s big in Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, October 25 at 0119-0125, looping roughly NE except 783-East as in Mauritania: 612, 774, 783, 837, 1017, 1053, 1152, 1215 --- and see separate 1521 entry. On the handheld DX-398, I also have one on 1125, but suspiciously + and it vanishes when I turn off the NRD-545 nearby. That also emits its own birdie carriers on a few other frequencies; beware (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 3840-LSB, Oct 25 at 0143, raucous laughter and yelling, talkovers, a dependable ham frequency for such nonsense, along with 3843-LSB, not at the moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 0304 UT October 25 ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2016 03:07:52 +0000 (UTC) From: Glenn Hauser <wghau...@yahoo.com> To: <d...@yahoogroups.com>, Glenn Hauser <wghau...@yahoo.com> Cc: <s...@mailman.qth.net> Subject: Re: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs October 24-25, 2016 Message-ID: <138921236.151137.1477364872...@mail.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Correxion: the other Albanian is C?rrik, while R.
