** BANGLADESH. 15520, new transmitter test of Bangladesh Betar external service is poorly audible Aug 10: 1322 tune-in to S Asian language, 1325 into singing, at first sounding Qur`anish, but probably not; tenor with lite drumming. There is also continuous noise along with it, and with BFO the carrier seems slightly unstable.

Firedrake, August 10: 15500, fair open carrier at 1316 and I am paying more attention to the weaker het on 15502, when at 1317, FD music starts up on 15500, with noise added. 15485, which had been on a bit earlier, is now gone 15560, fair at 1317, het on hi side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 11760, Aug 9 at 1957 check, RHC`s initial English hour of the day is at first dead air; then some JBM music. The signal here is never strong on this one. 6050, August 10 at 0519, RHC English is dead air instead, altho OK on 6010 and much weaker 6060, 6125 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** LITHUANIA. My EDXC/RMRC pdf QSL for the June special via Sitkunai 11900 is now visible via the new last link at the bottom of: http://www.worldofradio.com/QSL.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MAURITANIA. 7245, Aug 10 at 0521, IGIM is on and chanting. This sounds so much the same from one morning to the next that I suspect it`s a single recording played over and over. Indeed it sounds so much the same from one minute to the next, of limited tonality (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NIGERIA. 15120, Aug 10 at 0509, S9+12 signal well from VON atop the CCI, but undermodulated with own whine added; deep-voiced OM newscaster was more readable than axuality clip inserted. Then report from YL correspondent whose voice came thru much better until she inserted a clip. And so it goes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SOUTH AFRICA [and non]. 7230, Aug 10 at 0521, very poor signal with music, talk in English, no doubt Channel Africa as scheduled, so I compare it to the relay via WRN via WRMI on 9955, also very poor with pulse jamming added. By noting transition from talk to music or vice versa, I compute the delay as: 9955 is 26 seconds behind 7230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1629 monitoring: confirmed during the Thursday August 9 2100 broadcast on WTWW 9479; and on WWRB 5050 from 0331 UT or so Friday August 10 --- after the usual dead air for at least a minute; some seconds before WOR playback started, WWRB hum appeared on the signal and continued thruout WOR, also on the webcast. Next: UT Saturday 0130v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB. On Hamburger Lokalradio: Sat 0630 on 7265; Tue 0930 on 5980 On WRMI 9955: Sat 0800, 1500, 1730, Sun 0800, 1530, 1730, Mon 0500, 1130 On WRN via SiriusXM 120: Sat & Sun 1730, Sun 0830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 13830, Aug 9 at 1950 check, WEWN Spanish has poor signal, but no QRM from the big ute blob circa 13832

Seems they are subject to being killed in Afghanistan and Pakistan merely for looking ``oriental`` as they are easily separated visually from S Asian ethnicities. They are also despised for being more progressive than the Pashtuns, so some of them try to escape to Europe or Australia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake August 9, after 1300: 15485, very poor at 1315, also noise jamming 15570, fair at 1314, het on hi side Before 1400: 15490, poor at 1353, also noise jamming, het on lo side; up from 15485 15600, poor at 1354 15900, good at 1354 16100, very good at 1355; none in the 17s, 14s, 13s, 12s 11615, August 9 at 1358, VOA in Yankee-Doodle-Dandy sign-on, fair signal and clear, but at 1400 sharp, hit by ChiCom Chinese language jamming, presumably CNR1 program. VOA is attempting to broadcast in Chinese this hour only, 250 kW, 332 degrees from Tinang, PHILIPPINES. And yet we allow the ChiCom to broadcast CRI over our domestic radio stations! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 9810, Aug 9 at 0236, RHC Spanish is just barely modulated, but an improvement over no modulation at all last night; also unusually poor signal strength. 11760, Aug 9 at 1303, RHC modulation is breaking up somewhat; 11750 not until *1303 with OC, then JIP programodulation. At 1305, 11760 dumps off the air. 11860, Aug 9 at 1308, undermodulated but not breaking up or distorted; however, bothered by bleed from the DentroCuban Jamming Command centered on 11845 against R. Mart?, but with noise field extending also down to 11830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EGYPT. 9280-9325, Aug 9 at 0232, big buzz out to here from extremely distorted monstrous R. Cairo Arabic frequency 9305, diminished only around 9315 by the big very undermodulated R. Cairo English frequency with singing. 9265 WINB and 9330 WBCQ escape it. By 0448, samebuzz from 9305 but weaker so the sidefields are inaudible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUIANA FRENCH. 11995, Aug 9 at 0229, fair signal in Spanish with Chinese accent, i.e. RTI; also a lo hum on the transmitter, from Montsin?ry, 02-03, 500 kW, 195 degrees to Chile & Argentina (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** JAPAN. 15195, Aug 9 at 0453, Japanese poor signal, i.e. NHK, 300 kW, 290 degrees from Yamata at 01-07 per HFCC, yet seldom audible here. Also amid intruding OTH radar buzz QRM extending from 15190 to 15215, Cyprus? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MADAGASCAR. 13765, Aug 9 at *0454:30, Talata turning on later than usual and thus avoiding the feed mixups we have heard lately, just open carrier until starting Vatican IS at 0457 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 1140, Aug 9 at 0500 I suspend SW monitoring to try to catch a definite ID from XEMR. Initially good dominant signal belying the ``nothing to the north`` pattern, music which stops at 0500 with no ID, right into Mexican NA, choral multiverse lasting until 0505; finally, when it has faded a bit, very quick and hard to copy ID by YL, with self-imposed QRMusic, but includes XEMR, 1140-AM, 50 kilovat
