Recognizable IS starts circa 1358:20, and yes! 5+1 pips end with a higher prolonged one at 1358:48.5* so they are *way* fast now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ECUADOR [non]. 9530, Sunday August 13 at 2211, declamatory speech = sermon in unknown language, maybe sorta Arabish, S8-S3. Aoki shows it`s Pulaar fromm HCJB Radio Akhbar Mufriha, 250 kW, 27 degrees from ASCENSION daily except Wednesdays at 2145-2215. What is this? Easily overlooked in the WRTH is a ``Religious Broadcasters Cross Reference Table`` which in 2017 edition is on page 518 after the clandestine sexion and before the LW & MW frequency lists --- but not including this one, under A, H, M or R. EiBi readme.txt language list shows Pulaar is spoken by ten times as many people in S?n?gal as in Gambia totalling 3.3 mega. And why do they skip Wednesdays; a holy day for them? Or because they daren`t skip Sundays and need some day of rest (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 6185, August 13 at 2217, very weak S5-S3 music, got to be XEPPM on the air earlier than nominal 23-05 UT schedule during DST, as in Aoki, 1 kW. Nothing else listed on 6185 at this hour, including major broadcasters. (CRI Arabic via Albania, however at 20-22). Under quiet conditions I have also detected the 6185 carrier close to midday, but never around sunrise, so when do they really turn it on and when to they start programming, probably only // MW 1060? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6965-USB, August 14 at 0046, rock music at S8 about equal to storm noise level from SW OK/NW TX, making copy very difficult. 0049 DJ announcement sounds like Dick Weed of Radio Free What-ever, 0050 mentions HF Underground; recheck 0109 seems off. Yes, RFW confirmed by many logs here between 2302 and 0053*: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,36692.0.html If you see no link to HFU after ``here``, it`s because some editor doesn`t want you to go there. Started on 6955 but jumped to 6965 to avoid ute on 6947. Seems to me pirates seldom ascend as high as 6965 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PERU. As a DX editor who fixes up and comments on other people`s logs, I realize that my own logs are subject to similar treatment. However, I must object to this, copied exactly as it appeared in the NASWA Flashsheet as substitute-edited by Rich D`Angelo: ``5980 PERU. Radio Chaski (very tentative), 2330- August 6, JJJBBBA carrier. Best audible if tuned to 5979.65-USB. I stay on it amid the summer storm noise level until auto cutoff at 2341:08.5* give or take. So, they?ve let it slip more than 11 minutes past the nominal closing. Last timing here was July 20 until 2339:15*, which is 113.5 seconds over a 17-day period, or averaging 6.68 seconds per! Right on "schedule" within a few hundredths of a second. As usual I don?t compute this until afterwards, so am not aware of exactly when the carrier is going to drop. I love this precision in such an unintentional display from an otherwise boring gospel huxter station. (Glenn Hauser, OK)`` My original report which appeared everywhere else did NOT say ``(very tentative)`` --- that is Rich`s opinion, and he is entitled to remark that, but not make it look like I was saying that. I have been tracking this station for years, and there is nothing tentative about it. In this case, even with a JJJBBBA carrier, there is no doubt whatsoever about its identity. I do not need to hear a ``definite ID`` every time I log it. I would accept ``presumed``. Experience and circumstantial evidence count for a lot. The rest of the details about the slipping autotimer, in the context of countless previous logs of it including on rare occasions, Spanish talk; logs mainly by Claudio Galaz, Chile, confirming it`s active, and the lack of any other 5980 stations at this time, should have made it obvious (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SPAIN. 17855, August 13 at 2201, REE is S9, very good with satellite info, in sign-off routine, then playing 9-note IS many times over --- while undeniably a nice tune (provenance?), it`s the kind of thing that can worm its way into the brain and be hard to expel. In fact, this is the OSOB, as // 17715 is missing and I think others reported it absent earlier, altho I did hear both 17s at 1401. So you never know which combo of the four frequencies will be on or not. // 15520 is now S8 to S4, and // 15390 is S4 to S3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1890 monitoring: 11580, WRMI at 0208 with Glenn Hauser?s "World of Radio" - Excellent Aug 13 (Mark Coady, Selwyn, Ontario, Kenwood TS440S or Ten-Tec Argonaut II and 40 and 80 meter off centre-fed dipoles, ODXA yg via DXLD) Confirmed Sunday August 13 at 2330, on WBCQ 9331.510v-CUSB, fair. Also confirmed UT Monday August 14 at 0300 on Area 51 webcast; also detectable in OK/TX storm noise level at 0327 on WBCQ 5129.83-AM. Also confirmed UT Monday August 14 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, poor S9 also with storm noise. Next: Mon 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW Tue 0030 WRMI 7730 to WNW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 11580, Sunday August 13 at 2208, pleased to hear one of my favorite tunes from the World Music loop on WRMI; it`s swing with a saxophone solo, but, as ever, not identified. WRMI skedgrid shows 22-23 M-F is RAE in Italian, but these weekend hours on 11580 are blank (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7489.932-AM, UT Monday August 14 at 0604, rock music, very poor, so replacing `The Other Side of Midnight`? No, talk from that resumes at 0606. They must leave a ToH news hole, but there was none. WBCQ program guide *still* fails to include TOSOM which started months ago, 04-07 UT Sun & Mon only. Until recently, 7490 had been slightly on the plus side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report despatched at 1632 UT August 14 ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Mon, 14 Aug 2017 19:22:50 +0200 From: "Wolfgang Bueschel" <dg1...@t-online.de> To: <hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com>, "DXLD" <d...@yahoogroups.com> Subject: Re: [HCDX] [dxld] Re: India eve of Independence Day special Aug 14 Message-ID: <F7D9AFC78FF8401A9EBACC85C25D3F02@HNPC2> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="UTF-8"; reply-type=original at Delhi India remote SDR heard 1630-1645 UT, Aug 14. 4835 Gangtok low modulated, S=6-7 -83dBm 4809.997 Bhopal S=9+25dB 4910.003 Jaipur S=9+30dB, low modulated. 4920.001 Chennai S=9+15dB 4950.011 Srinagar, S=9+20dB low modulated. 4970.016 Shillong low like Gangtok at 1643 UT S=8 or -79dBm. 4884.998 KOR S=7 or -82dBm China in Chinese 4800 and 4820 kHz.

No matter what way I point my antenna or fiddle with my antenna tuner, I don't get a good lock at all. In fact, this is the best lock I've had in 2 weeks. Most times "DRM Service A" text" shows up the display, but audio never plays and goes back to "Tuning" then it repeats this cycle over and over. far far Northwestern Pennsylvania with a Gospell GR216 radio, EmTech M2 Antenna tuner, DXEngineering HF PreAmp, Par Electronics AM Broadcast band filter, 25 foot long by 10 foot tall Volleyball net magnetic loop antenna connected to a Wellbrook ALA100LN And yes, the EmTech Zm2 antenna tuner really does help and I can prove it. It was originally intended for QRP Ham uses, but it makes a random length long wire a bit more resonant at a given frequency, so in the case of SW Listening, the signal is a bit stronger and less fading occurs. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0snm-xpngE1STFKaHZXVmtZS2M ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2017 03:37:17 +0000 From: "Paul B.
