Nove de Julho presumably still relaying R. Aparecida. Way off- frequency carrier is often audible. Now, the other ZYs on 31m are 9665- and 9565-, but no 9630+ or 9675- (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 13740, Dec 20 at 1940, RHC Spanish is loud S9+30; surprised to hear this, as on Arnie`s B-18 skeds it does not start until 2200, then Bauta until 0500. In fact at this hour there are no Spanish broadcasts scheduled, or heard elsewhere in quick bandscans, just Kriyol on weaker 15140, S9+10 and undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 15311.66, 15283.06, 14996.96, 14968.36 all approx., Dec 21 at 1420, the now usual weak and squealing, somewhat wobbly spurs out of RHC 15140 transmitter. Someething`s always wrong at RHC. 13700 is much weaker than usual and than // 13780, maybe explaining why no FM spurs are audible on the 22m band at 1418 Dec 21. 15700, Dec 21 at 1521, CRI English relay is better modulated than usual. Listening in SSB only, there is a similar squealing sound to the four 15140 spurs above. Very strange effect I have not noticed elsewhere; listening in AM, no squeal tho a slight hum. On my keyboard, the squeal is approx. D to D# above Cmiddle, i.e. circa 300 Hz. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [non]. 13820, Dec 21 at 1415, Radio Mart? VG on proper frequency with hardly any jamming audible. Still at 1513 check, an hour during which yesterday RM had inexplicably jumped to 13860 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 1390, my nearest local, KCRC, continues putting out spurs at multiples of approx. 30 kHz above and below, despite denials by the KCRC contract engineer. I decide to measure them as accurately as possible, Dec 20 at 1926-1939 UT on the R-75: 1449.771, makes het with weak 1450 stations, Woodward & Shawnee 1419.883, KCRC audio overwhelms anything from KTJS Hobart 1389.994, KCRC fundamental is slightly low, and varies? 1360.059, KCRC audio overwhelms anything from KPHN El Dorado KS 1330.177, makes big het with KNSS Wichita which otherwise would be listenable here At this time can`t hear hets on 1300 & 1480 but have before, perhaps closer to site on caradio. Separations between these from top to bottom: 29.889, 29.888, 29.935, 29.882. One of them looks too far off, not sure if I miscalculated (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA.

Host seems to be winging it from axual letters rather than a prepared script. At least two come from Bangladesh, but hard to understand details; he keeps urging people to send reception reports. At 1407 sings for a few seconds? 1408 show ends and into songfill. 11815.0, December 21 at 1414, the other VOT, Turkish music, also S9-S6 but sounds louder; and remarkable coincidence, both are (almost) on- frequency today, rather than one or the other plus ~700 Hz! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9395, Dec 20 at 1942-1944 at lest, dead air from WRMI at S9 -S7; another feed failure from Walterboro?

Can anyone add some significant info? ** ERITREA [non]. 17545, Sat Dec 15 at 1502, JBA carrier, among only three audible on band with 17615, 17700; 17545 is also JBA carrier when checked at 1546 via UTwente SDR. This is the mysterious target broadcast for Eritrea I discovered last week, and denominated only as ``Alsmood`` by Jeff White, RMI broker, Saturdays only at 1500-1600 via Issoudun, FRANCE. Info collected so far is in DXLD 18-50. I was not expecting to hear it any better this week, so an hour ahead, I reminded members of the WOR, BDXC-UK and HCDX groups: ``Please check 17545, 1500-1600 Saturday only via France, as discovered last week. Little is known about it except it is weekly for Eritrea. What is the ID exactly? How is Alsmood pronounced? Is it definitely in Tigrinya, and/or some other language(s)? Is any contact info announced, website or e-mail? Any further clues to its source? 73, Glenn Hauser`` Thanks to everyone who participated! Their full replies will be rounded up in DXLD 18-51: (gh) Viz.: A carrier on 17545 was turned on moments before 1500. And this is all that can be confirmed from Central Europe, where it are just barely detectable, scattered signal traces. I also could not find a Kiwi SDR with modulation of this transmission being audible (Kai Ludwig, Germany, 1517 UT Dec 15, WOR iog via DXLD) Re: Mystery Alsmood 17545 imminent --- Hearing a faint signal now, 1503 UT, with a man speaking in unknown language. Signal level is at S5/6 with heavy fades. A few words intelligible at signal peaks (Stephen C Wood, E. Dennis, MA, Perseus SDR, 30 x 15 terminated superloop antenna, hauu...@comcast.net, 1506 UT Sat Dec 15, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Hello Glenn, I've tuned 17545 at 1515 but only faint traces of something are audible here. I think 17 MHz is much too high for me to hear ISS at this time - most signals from there are usually poor at my location anyway. Hopefully some further south will hear it. 73 (Noel Green, NW England, 1521 UT, WOR iog via DXLD) It seemed to switch from Tigrinya to Arabic at 1515 gmt. Getting it best via Web SDR in Jo'burg, SA. Also audible (slightly worse) via Northlands, NZ, SDR (David Kernick, Interval Signals Online, 1528 UT, WOR iog via DXLD) I tuned in at 1503 and barely heard male speaking in unknown language followed by some unusual music. Signal then faded away, but music again heard briefly at 1511 & then faded again. I am using an Icom 7200 with a G5RV antenna. 73, (Don W8SWL Hosmer, West Branch MI USA, 1528 UT, WOR iog via DXLD) Only a weak carrier detected using the U. Twente SDR receiver today (15 December) at 1520 UT. AMSync frequency 17545.000 kHz. Occasional faint audio. Too close to transmitter? Only audible 16m band signal is 17700 kHz, VOA in Hausa from Botswana (-- Richard Langley, NB, 1532 UT, ibid.) Hi Glenn, Tuned in to 17545 kHz at 1515 UT, male announcer in unidentified language. Just readable, high noise level here in NJ. Music at 1532 after a female announcer heard. No ID possible. 73's (Ed Insinger, 1534 UT, WOR iog via DXLD) Arabic ID heard in noisy reception but not understood, I'll try to clean up the recording later (David Kernick, Interval Signals Online, 1537 UT, WOR iog via DXLD) Nothing in my QTH and only traces in the SDRs of Pardinho and S?o Bernardo dos Campos. Inaudible in the Katar SDR. Weak signal but with audio in the Johannesburg SDR. The audio is almost exhausted at 1538, only carrier. 73 (Jorge Freitas, Feira de Santana, Bahia, 12?14?S 38? 58?W - Brasil, Tecsun PL-310ET, Antenna Delta Loop 8,5 meters- with screenshot and wav file [2:19 = 3 MB] I was able to pick up a male announcer mentioning Eritrea at 1556, possibly Arabic. Continued with music and male announcer until abrupt s/off at 1600. Signal peaked at S5 dB on the R8A with PAR EndFed Z EF -SWL (Ed Insinger, Summit, NJ, 1605 UT, WOR iog via DXLD) It wasn't audible here but I had a weak to fair signal on an SDR receiver in South Africa from tune-in at 1535. Typical Horn of Africa music, followed by talks in Arabic, including several IDs in Arabic. Time pips at 1555 and what sounds like news headlines in Arabic, over music. Off at 1600. The IDs sounded like "Huna sawt al samood" or "idaat al samood". Google translates al-samood (or al-smood) as "Stability" so could its translated name perhaps be "Voice of Stability" or something like that? 73s (Dave Kenny, England, 1605 UT, WOR iog via WORLD OF RADIO 1961, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Recording of three Arabic IDs here: http://www.intervalsignals.net/17545kHz.mp3 Somewhat noisy, the last one is a bit clearer though (David Kernick, Interval Signals Online, 1641 UT Dec 15, WOR iog via DXLD) I also see it translated into "steadfastness", a variant that looks more apt in this context. Such a name further raises the question about origin and agenda of these broadcasts, because it suggests something else than yet another project by exiled journalists like Radio Erena and Radio Assenna. And this after the latest developments in Eritrea, with Afwerki having lost the war with Ethiopia as excuse for anything (Kai Ludwig, 1859 UT, WOR iog via WORLD OF RADIO 1961, DX LISTENING DIGEST) End of Hard-Core-DX Digest, Vol 192, Issue 22 *********************************************
