** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 15400, May 25 at 2345, JBA S1 talk in unID language,
almost the OSOB except for 15570 Chinese = Jamming or RFA Saipan; and 15610
WEWNglish. For 15400, Aoki/NDXC shows:
15400 2345-0015 AUS Reach Beyond Australia ( Bur Kununurra 12357
15400 2345-2400 AUS Reach Beyond Australia ( Bur Kununurra 46
15400 0000-0015 AUS Reach Beyond Australia ( Eng Kununurra 46
This is self-contradictory, as the missing Burmese days 4 and 6 in the first
entry, ending earlier at 2400 on days 4 and 6, should become days 5 and 7 for
the English segment across the 0000 UT transition in the third entry! But the
first entry is ambiguous; do the day numbers refer to the start time or end
time? Cannot be both.
More evidence that Au/As stations cannot be relied upon to report the correct
UT days for their broadcasts matching the UT times.
Or, who knows, 4 and 6 could be correct after 0000, and 12357 wrong as local
days before 2400 instead of 12467, i.e. previous days by UT, in which case the
middle entry should be 3 and 5.
After figuring that out, I check how EiBi has this parsed differently:
15400 2345-2400 [daily] AUS Reach Beyond Australia BR MYA ku
15400 0000-0015 12467 AUS Reach Beyond Australia BR MYA ku
15400 0000-0015 We,Fr AUS Reach Beyond Australia E MYA ku
mixing numbers with letters, or blanx if daily.
For Aoki, day 1 = Sunday, but for EiBi, day 1 = Monday. So for the Burmese
segment at 0000-0015, Aoki has it on Sun-Mon-Tue-Thu-Sat.
EiBi has it on Mon-Tue-Thu-Sat-Sun, i.e. the same! Likewise, they both agree
that the days for English at 0000-0015 are Wed & Fri.
But again, that implies that the shorter Burmese broadcasts ending at 2400 must
not be on UT Wed and Fri, but on UT Tue & Thu, contrary to Aoki. Yes, it`s
confusing, but you have to be explicit and consistent! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [non]. 7210-AM, May 25 at 2343, pop music in English S8-S5, but //
6175 as both are scheduled CRI Spanish via ALBANIA, 150 kW at 280 degrees. Per
HFCC, Nelson Roig N1NR and his anti-Castro Cuban exile cohorts I was looking
for, should have 7210-LSB to themselves from 0000 and all-night to 1100, unless
Kolkata 0215-1215 listed be a minor problem. Aside from pro-Castro Cuban
jhammers, of course (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [non?]. 11610, May 26 at 1635, bandscanning up hits huge signal in
Chinese song, S9+5 to peaks S9+20; worthy of MWV but its only Chinese hour on
11610 is 21-22; 1638 Chinese announcement, talk over music continues. This is
the SSOB, more than 12160 WWCR, 11760 RHC, 11930 Cuban radio war, 12050 WEWN,
11710 North Korea, but not a bad signal from there. Sked at 16-17 only is RFA
Chinese, 250 kW, 295 degrees via TINIAN and of course *jammed per Aoki/NDXC. I
hear no trace of a second signal, but think CNR1 jamming more likely (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 11880, May 26 at 1641, soft song in Chinese, S1-S3 not // 11610. Sked
is CRI Hakka, 500 kW, 252 degrees via Xi`an for CIRAF 53N and 57S, which means
Zimbabwe and vicinity! Hakkan diaspora there? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11900, May 25 at 2351, RHC vs RHC, mixture of audios from 11950 with
`Mesa Redonda` soundtrack, and mainstream RHC from 12000, i.e. leapfrog another
50 kHz lower. Modulation is rough on 12000; 11950 is also defective,
overmodulated and squealing, so the sounds on 11900 are no better tho much
weaker, managing only S1. Luckily for WEWN, no reverse `frog on 12050 can be
heard to mar its own `Cara a Cara` show. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
The 11900 mix will not occur on weekends when 11950 is not on; but what about
my Thu May 24 RHC log on 11900 at 0019? 11950 should also have been off after
0000, and I did not note then that it was on, causing speculation about how
else 11900 could happen (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 9380, May 26 at 1249, English talk about Nazi Germany,
Ephesians, the last day here for FEBC`s ``Chinese`` service; 1251 song in
English about God, 1254 outro title as ``Love Is``, something ``to sing
about``, then 1255 finally into Chinese talk by YL at S9-S7.
>From May 27, the 10-16 UT FEBC Chinese sextahour is to QSY to 9275, uncovering
>All India Radio on 9380, where FEBC should never have moved to evacuate
>original 9430 for the so far imaginary but potentially vital IRDR service
>(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 11980.034, May 26 at 0527, poor S8-S5 talk in presumed T?rkish past
0530+, an off-frequency rampant from Emirler. This is VOT, 04-06 UT on 310
degrees for western Europe, consequently also North America beyond on same
azimuth. This transmission probably still runs the otherwise replaced legacy
TRT IS before 0400. Maybe by midsummer this will hold up well enough to enjoy
the music? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1931 monitoring: not confirmed Friday May 25
at 2333 on WBCQ 9330v, as BS continues. (This is the last time I am going to be
reporting non-WOR on 9330, altho I may keep checking sporadically lest it
reappear without notice, just as it disappeared without notice.)
Confirmed by Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria: ``GERMANY, Reception of World of Radio via
HLR on 6190 CUSB, May 26
http://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.bg/2018/05/reception-of-world-of-radio-via-hlr-on_26.html
0630-0700 6190 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg to CeEu English Sat, poor/weak``
6190-USB again at 1455 check via UTwente: JBA algo, presumably me;
confirmed by Alan Gale, England: ``6190 kHz 26th May --- Hi Glenn, Conditions
were very poor on 6 MHz today, with the signal not fading in here until 1451
UT, though World of Radio was quite listenable from then until the end of HLR's
programmes at 1500 UT.
Not unusual for 6 MHz at this time of the year, and I suspect that things will
get worse in the coming weeks rather than better. Back to burning the midnight
oil on 7780 kHz again this coming week then! :-)
Friday's IRRS programme at 1800 UT on 7290 kHz also carried World of Radio 1931
for about 5 minutes from 1825 to around 1830; this programme often seems to
carry short snatches of a number of different programmes, and WoR does appear
on there from time to time. Alan.``
Confirmed Saturday May 26 at 2300 on WRMI 7780, fair. Next:

** U S A. 9455, Friday May 25 at 2335, preaching in English, not TOM, WRMI
ranging S7 to S9+10 peaks, better than usual, and not // 9395, 7780, 9955 or
5950. Sounds like Bob Biermann, confirmed at 2358 outro as *his* `Your Weekend
Show`, referencing disgraced FB; 2359 ``Popcorn`` tune plays past 0001 May 26.
IIRC, 2300 Fri was one time `YWS` used to appear on 9395 before it was ravaged
by so much other opt-away programming.
One more check May 26 of http://www.tinyurl.com/WRMIfqs whether the secret 9455
transmission has yet made it to the public schedule? NO, despite having been on
air and monitored now for a sesquiweek (by me, anyway; no one else seems to
have cared/noticed). Hey, maybe Bob has set up his own pirate station? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7490.0, UT Sat May 26 at 0000, the 2300 Fri huxter on WBCQ is running
overtime; finally faded down/cut off at 0001:45 for canned ID and ``WTO``
opening `AWWW` late; if 5130- now be //, it`s too weak JBA even to recognize
the theme; 7490 with Allan`s interjexions during the music, but when it
finishes at 0005, a different voice is heard first, which turns out to be Dr
Becker who is also in the studio. Announces current date 25 May YOOL 2018, so
it`s live. First topic is iHeart Radio going bankrupt by gigadollars. TROTS,
from John Carver:
``Listening on 7490 though it was announced after theme music that they were
broadcasting on 5130 and 9330 this evening also. Show started a bit over a
minute late. Allan, Angela, Dr. Becker and later Tom Barna in the studio.
Opening comments about iHeart Media`s money problems and the state of radio in
this country. Then Dr. Becker extolled the virtues of the Free Masons for some
reason.
Talk about the super station and the rotatable antenna started then, and would
be a recurring theme for the rest of the show. Allan stated the new station was
being built by one of their clients but again did not name them at this time.
First and only phone call at 0020 asking if the flat-earthers were aware of how
propagation supposedly worked. After a long pause, Allan agreed that the
flat-earthers were behind the new super station and then went into a long spiel
defending their right to believe whatever they wanted to believe and how he
would defend their right to believe whatever they wanted to believe and
broadcast over the airwaves.
Caller then asked about the Nazis being on the air over WBCQ and Allan went
into the story about American Dissident Voices and why he asked them to leave
the air. Then he went on to say that Pastor Pete Peters was the only other
broadcaster asked to leave the station although this writer thought that Hal
Turner had been asked to leave the air also [but since, back on --- gh]. Allan
also said he had received calls from the FBI, the Secret Service and the
Southern Poverty Law Center over ADV and Hal Turner.
Started talking then about World's Last Chance Ministries behind the
superstation and that they would be broadcasting in twelve different languages
and that the frequency used would be 9330.
Dr. Becker talked some about the construction going on at the station and both
he and Allan mentioned that the feed line for the transmitter cost three
thousand dollars a foot. Quick mention of the generator being built and some
talk about the power consumption for the new transmitter.
Tom talked about a quick and dirty repair of a satellite cable ten minutes
before they went on the air. Then Allan gave us the primer version of the
station's lightning protocols.
At one point during the discussion this evening, Dr. Becker stated that the
superstation was the largest private station in the world [sic]. He also
jokingly stated that WBCQ was moving backwards. Intending to illustrate that
while other shortwave stations were downsizing or going off the air, WBCQ was
expanding.
This writer thought it humorous as the point that a station was being built to
spread the flat-earthers` creed around the world could be construed as moving
backwards. Show was off the air at 0059. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15240-, Sat May 26 at 1635 and earlier, no signal from Radio Munansi,
so apparently gone again via WWRB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12160, Sat May 26 circa 1940, WWCR-2 with `The Last Radio Playing`,
music filler show with contact info for host Allan Gray. SWLing is sparse in
the daytime on caradio, only a few bigsigs, mostly disposable gospel huxtering,
but TLRP is now a full hour per WWCR pdf sked *finally* updated as of May 15
showing 19-20 UT Saturdays on 12160, and with correct Central time conversions
as UT -5!
http://www.wwcr.com/program-guides/WWCR_Program_Guide.pdf
TLRP has three additional times (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 10115-USB, May 26 at 1257, weak 2-way in Spanish; hams who think
this is a phone band? Or simply intruders. Hams *should* have a 30m phone band,
perhaps another 100 kHz, as it`s a long way from 40 to 20m, with drastic
propagation differences. 10115 is zero-beat to some CW which I don`t even hear
until stepped down to 10114 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15730, May 26 at 1303, strong open carrier, but gone at 1304*
recheck after trying 15230 where RHC is much weaker. Later in day, 15730 is
used both by RHC, and by VOA: more likely Greenville now with a transmitter
test (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
