Re my QSL card from RAE ATTW: altho linx were correct to views of it, link to the QSL index page was not, make it: http://www.worldofradio.com/QSL.html I thanked Adri?n Korol with a copy of that post, and got his reply: ``Muchas Gracias, Glenn! Es un honor haber confirmado tu reporte de recepci?n con la QSL N?mero 1. En 2018 se cumplen 40 a?os de la primer QSL que recib?, de RNW, y no olvidar? la emoci?n que sent? al abrir aquel sobre en la casa de mis padres. Efectivamente hemos tenido que pasar una serie de tr?mites internos para poder disponer de los fondos para franqueo postal, algo que hace a?os no se destinaba a RAE por lo que hubo que empezar casi desde cero. Adem?s, han llegado m?s de 400 informes de recepci?n v?lidos, y vamos confirmando y enviando unas 50 QSL semanales promedio hasta ponernos al d?a, con el compromiso de responder todos los informes (las tarjetas QSL ya est?n llegando a radioescuchas y diexistas en Alemania, Rusia, Espa?a, USA, Francia, Rep?blica Checa, B?lgica, Pakist?n, Jap?n, Italia, Portugal, Brasil, Slovenia, Holanda, UK, Ucrania, Suiza, M?xico, Cuba, Canad?, China, Grecia, Luxemburgo y otros sitios desde donde recibimos diariamente correspondencia en un promedio (cantidades) que no se recibian en RAE desde el a?o 1988. Internamente estamos pre-produciendo nuevos programas para lanzamiento estimado junto al inicio del per?odo B17. Asimismo por primera vez RAE participar? en el GRAND PRIX de la RAI en Italia, con 4 programas propios en italiano, teniendo adem?s el honor de participar como jurado en dicho evento. Como te coment?, esperamos prontas y buenas noticias tanto de nuevo schedule en WRMI como de emisiones desde la Planta de General Pacheco, en Buenos Aires. Asimismo, estimamos que en NOVIEMBRE nos mudaremos a una nueva redacci?n, con nuevo estudio propio dentro del hist?rico edificio de Maip? 555 en el centro de Buenos Aires. Ojal? acompa?emos todos estos logros con una mejor radio, optimizando nuestra tarea y disponiendo de material gr?fico, stickers, nueva QSL y souvenirs de RAE, sabiendo que lo que para muchos grandes ha sido una crisis para nosotros es una oportunidad. Viva la radio, 73 y DX, Adrian Korol`` Says they had to negotiate new funding for QSL postage and have been sending them out at the average rate of 50 per week. Some 400 correct reports have come in. Also, pre-producing new programs for the B-17 season, and also expect to get their own new offices and studios in November, within the historic Radio Nacional building (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BANGLADESH. 15505, Aug 26 at 1356, BB carrier already on, 1359 IS and maybe mis-timesignal until 1359:18 but too weak to be sure (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BRAZIL. 7140-LSB, Aug 27 at 0341, S9+10 VG signal from PP5JR calling CQ Contest in English; weaker reply from a PP6. A few minutes later I find PP5JR on 7147.8-LSB, now switched to Brazuguese, fonetix placa-placa-cinco-jap?o-rom?o, for the CVA = Concurso Verde-Amarelo i.e. the Brazilian flag colors green and yellow. Per QRZ.com, PP5JR is: SERGIO ALMEIDA, FLORIANOPOLIS SC 88030-140, or maybe his other club station in Rancho Queimado SC. This ham is doing much better than any Brazilian broadcaster audible on 6, 9 or 11 MHz! E.g. 11855.0, at 0410, R. Aparecida hymn and talk only S3; At 0412, 9725.4, R. Evangelizar even weaker. 7143-LSB, Aug 27 at 0347, much weaker PT6B calling CQ CVA. QRZ.com: BAHIA DX GROUP STATION CONTEST, FEIRA DE SANTANA - BAHIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 6145, Aug 27 at 0335, RHC English is barely modulated with hum, during music, much better on 6000 (barely modulated is however a cut above ``just barely modulated``). By 0540 Aug 27: 6145 undermodulated, 6100 dead air, 6060 overmodulated somewhat distorted, 6000 undermodulated & distorted, weaker than 5040 OK. Also 6230 leapfrog detectable JBA with // music, 6060 over 6145 another 85 kHz higher (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 15513.045, Aug 27 at 1313, 1-kHz bandscan with BFO hits this which could be V of Tibet, but not likely to be so far off-frequency. Can make out a bit of music on S2 signal. Whenever anything is wrong, first thing to check is Radio Habana Cuba, and sure `nuff, it`s same as 15370, 143+ kHz below. So there should be another spur on the other side circa 15227 --- and there it is, very weak at 15226.951 or so, right next to another intentional RHC frequency 15230. If the upper one were on 15510, it would obviously be a leapfrog mixture of 15230 and 15370 another 140 kHz higher, but not in this case, nothing to do with 15230 but just plus/minus spurs out of 15370 unit. Both are wobbling slightly. Still there at 1340 check, as on 15370, AC about TEP between LU and CO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ETHIOPIA. 7173-7191 approx., Aug 27 at 0346, QRDRM, i.e. jamming presumed vs Voice of Broad Masses of Eritrea. No carrier detectable amid, but has been reported lately about 7180. No sign of a second blob lower against the other VOBME, instead hams from BRAZIL, q.v.

Current Aoki dated Aug 11 a biweek ago! shows VOT on 15528 only at 1305-1335. 15523, Aug 27 at 1340, JBA carrier, presumed V. of Tibet via TAJIKISTAN. Aoki has not kept up with this one either. I also had 15523, Aug 16 at 1340. Ivo`s clandestine schedule as of Aug 17 doesn`t match either, showed: ``Voice of Tibet 1300-1310 on 11507 DB 100 kW / 095 deg to EaAs Chinese 1305-1315 on 15522 DB 100 kW / 131 deg to CeAs Tibetan 1310-1330 on 11512 DB 100 kW / 095 deg to EaAs Chinese 1315-1335 on 15528 DB 100 kW / 131 deg to CeAs Tibetan 1335-1345 on 15522 DB 100 kW / 131 deg to CeAs Tibetan 1345-1400 on 15528 DB 100 kW / 131 deg to CeAs Tibetan`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGESET) ** U S A.

WORLD OF RADIO 1892 monitoring: confirmed Friday August 25 at 2330 on WBCQ 9330.05v-CUSB, fair.

WRMI has finally put up a detailed day-by-day schedule for these two frequencies but at 00-01 UT only: ``Mon Countdown to Xmas Tue-Wed-Thu Oldies Fri Voice of the Report of the Week Sat Jazz from the Left Sun Mikes Gospel & 0015 Oldies`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9475, Aug 26 at 2000, WTWW undermodulated ARRL ad during ham show, but then canned Ted ID blasts on, so from that source, modulation is not suppressed. 9930 remains off the air; that #2 transmitter sounds OK when occasionally active evenings on 5085, and could be employed on 9475 if it is not going to be used daytimes on 9930. However, we`d much rather hear Theater Organ from the Ozarx and even Dave Ramsey than pass? PPP or QSO shows (Glenn Hauser, oK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 3215 // 4840, UT Sunday Aug 27, WWCR with ``Songbird`` on both frequencies during `Worldwide Country Radio`. Unusual to be duplicative like this. But so shown on program schedules for #1 and #3, this hour only UT Suns as of August 1. And all UTs on WWCR schedules are still WRONG, this as 06-07 instead of 05-06. Did not confirm whether synchronized (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 740, Aug 26 at 0559 UT, ``Radio 740 KTRH``, mixing with KRMG Tulsa, slow SAH vs music, no doubt CFZM. To hear KTRH it`s more necessary to null CFZM than KRMG! KTRH should have been a class 1-A 50 kW nondirexional day and night station, but as a late-comer, had to protect San Francisco, Tulsa, even Toronto. This surely makes Houston the largest city in the USA with no such station providing near-nationwide coverage. I doubt if it`s on ND antenna even now, poor signal here. Switching to day pattern instead of night wouldn`t really make much difference, both direxional to SW. Would it still be easy for such a station to flip a switch and go non-direxional which it normally never does? At 0603 UT, KTRH with EAS tones and tornado warning for Galveston County. BTW, circa 1530 UT Aug 27, CNN reported that CBS affiliate KHOU-TV ``11`` Houston was off the air, showing studios flooded! So is the transmitter site also flooded; or powerless?

It`s a M-F show only, which KRVN has been carrying after local midnight. Finding a plain old program schedule on busy website http://krvn.com remains impossible; not even by searching it on ``Jimbo`` or ``Bohannon`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1200, Sat Aug 26 at 0521 UT, WOAI is the only significant TX station audible with Hurricane Harvey coverage ---- and it`s mostly coming from The Weather Channel! cable TV station, but not synchronized. Finally at 0544 UT I time the delay of 95 seconds compared to what we are getting via Suddenlink cable in Enid. WOAI does break in with local coverage and still a heavy commercial load thanks to all those intervals provided by TWC. Yet seems odd for reporter to keep referring to what we can *see* which is very difficult on an AM radio station! Such as next WOAI listen, UT Sun Aug 27 at 0423 UT, report from Buffalo Bayou, tornado warning in Harris County ``on your screen``. No, it isn`t!! BTW, nothing special from WWL, yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [non]. Random nighttime Aug 26-27 chex for 1030 KCTA Corpus Christi turn up nothing --- they have a 50 kW non-direxional transmitter daytime+ only, and have been known to run it illegally into the night, but now that they could do it legally and necessarily in an emergency, none of it! Of course, being a gospel huxter, KCTA no doubt lacks any local news department, let alone weather as they don`t care what is going on in the real world. Rather, 1030 is dominated by XEYC R. F?rmula charlanoticias en Ju?rez --- I just notice altho WRTH 2017 has it among other 1030 stations, the frequency shown for it is ``1400``, where it was years before?! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1090, Aug 26 at 0551 UT, Catholic talk in English from NE/SW, in fact sounds like Mother Angelica --- yes, // but out of synch, about 2 seconds *ahead* of her own 11520 WEWN, into music. So this is KEXS, Excelsior Springs MO (Kansas City), an 8 kW (application for 10 kW) DAYTIMER. Of course, God`s stations are not subject to Laws of Man! I see Rob Ross, Ont., has also logged KEXS at night. Tsk2, it overcomes KAAY Little Rock, a Brother Scare outlet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1440, circa 0430 UT Aug 27 altho I did not log it at the time, some gospel huxter in English musing that it`s God`s will for Texas to be flooded. (Right, because TX denies abortion rights??) Suspect KMAJ Topeka KS as it loops NE/SW, altho talk rather than religion format (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search August 27 at 1131: 747 from NW, i.e. Japan. Full 9-kHz bandscan the next 5 minutes unfinds any others except finally 756 very weak but seems WSW instead of NW; there is nothing DU greater than 10 kW on 756 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report despatched at 1757 UT August 27 ------------------------------ Message: 9 Date: Sun, 27 Aug 2017 19:42:35 +0000 From: Ivo Observer <ivo.obser...@gmail.com> To: frequenc...@bnr.bg Subject: [HCDX] SWLDXBulgaria News August 27, part 2 Message-ID: <CANVtGkDU1b0Pe5wKt6nN_k4KUdT3TkLpxGGRLN_RX9N4vP_=a...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain;
