** ALBANIA. 9854.96, Aug 9 at 0154, R. Tirana about S6 with humroar way over
music, except at 0158 the IS comes thru much louder for one play before
cutoff.
Stephen Wood in MA was hearing it from the start at 0128 and with
better results: ``Muffled audio is actually more of a nuisance than the regular
buzz on the carrier. Still able to pick up some program details, feature on book
fair. One of the best signals from here in quite a while`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. 17840, Aug 9 at 0205, no signal from RA
nor on 15240, but NZ 15720 is OK ending BBC news by Neal/Neil? at 0206. Stephen
Wood in Massachusetts was not hearing 17840 either at 0140. RA has been off a
lot lately. And since forced downsizing to a three-transmitter schedule, they
should have a bunch of extra senders at Shepparton, if anyone cared (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5025, Aug 9 at 0227, R. Rebelde
is OFF; maybe because we heard it off-frequency recently: ``CUBA. 5024.91, Aug 7
at 0134, R. Rebelde is noticeably off-frequency, and wobbling``. 4765 is still
on and OK with R. Progreso; as is 5040 RHC. Say, whatever became of Arnie`s plan
to put RHC on a 90m frequency? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 9955, Aug 8 at 0547, as I tune across WRMIBS, it`s
S9+10 but those three beeps in a row, the pitch changing from one group to the
next, are heard again underneath, like I had four hours earlier mixing with
Radio Northern Ireland, so now I`m sure it`s a Cuban jammer, which I have caught
before on other frequencies with the beeps, such as 11930 at night long after
Radio Martí is finished with it, but usually with more than three at a time. At
least these are far less disruptive than even a single source of regular pulse
jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 9964.9, Aug 9
at 0156, R. Cairo with dead air in ``Arabic``, and also some lite Cuban pulse
jamming here rather than on 9955 --- presumably a remnant of jamming against
Radio República when it was on 9965 years ago in the daytime (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5015, and I quickly switch
to 7570 for better reception, Aug 9 at 0221, TOM via WRMI, as Brother
HyStairical is talking about his preaching trip, ordained by God, this coming
weekend, apparently. One stop is the Holiday Inn in Secaucus NJ, which is
(significantly!!) 6.66 miles from the Statue of Liberty, about to be destroyed;
then to College Park, Maryland, close to evil Washington DC; and Boston will be
first to go up in a nuclear strike, ``another 9/11``. The guy is now completely
batty, but no doubt will emerge unfazed by the phailure of his latest last-day
prophecies. I don`t see anything about this on his Overcomer website, so wonder
again if the tour is really imminent, or just playing back years-old recordings.
If upcoming, a golden opportunity to go and heckle him. No doubt further details
available by listening.
He then plays a phone call ``today`` from some
psychophant in Jerusalem named Israel who has a strong signal on 13810. No such
frequency listed on his own schedule at:
http://overcomerministry.org/radio-schedule/
But
HFCC shows since the beginning of A-16, 13810 at 1400-1600 with TOM is via Nauen
on weekdays like today, Issoudun on weekends, 130/120 degrees respectively, each
100 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** UKRAINE [non]. 11580,
Aug 9 at 0211, RUI via WRMI, `Ukrainian Perspective` about a bread festival.
WRMI sked now shows RUI daily at 0200-0230 on 11580 (and blank for algo at
0230-0300); and also M-F 2330-2400 on 11580. Good steady S9 signal despite being
aimed 44 degrees toward Europe at right angle from here. IIRC the 02-03 hour had
been occupied by some gospel huxter which soon vanished (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1837 monitoring: confirmed
Monday August 8 at 2330 on WBCQ, 9330.930-CUSB, which has drifted even further
off-frequency. Next:
Tue 1100 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Tue 2130 WRMI 15770 to
NE
Tue 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Wed 1315.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed
2100 WBCQ 7490v to WSW
Wed 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
(Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. (7490), UT Tue Aug 9 at 0100 after
listening to `From the Isle of Music` on WBCQ webcast, right into Brother Scare,
no more Radio BiPolar or Church of the Subgenius Hour of Slack, which had been
showing up here by surprise the past few weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 7505v, Aug 9 at 0155, WRNO is still OFF (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9475-, Aug 9 at 0200, WTWW-1 playing
`Turn Your Radio On`, the song alleging that God is a broadcaster of RF, but
chopped off the air in progress without any QSY announcement, at 0201*. As WTWW
turns its radio (transmitter) OFF. So I retune to night frequency 5830 and wait:
it pops on about *0201:40 with song still playing a little longer, no sign-on or
even ID, into ASV reading from Jeremiah XLVII.
12105, August 9 at 0208,
WTWW-3 is already off tonight as it should be.
5085, August 9 at 0224,
WTWW-2 is on with C&W music at S9+50, so I go looking for the weak parasitic
spurs above and below: measured on 5097.95 and 5072.04, which imply that
fundamental is also off-frequency to lo side about 5084.995, but not measured
directly. Anyhow, the spur separations at 12.955 are slightly more than previous
measurements of 12.9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
