** ETHIOPIA. 7138-7148, Oct 10 at 0353, DRM-style jamming noise, but cannot
detect Eritrea carrier amid circa 7146, and strangely not so much of it on the
plus side. This is about S8, while just up the exclusive worldwide 40m hamband,
louder S9+25 DRM noise jamming from 7164 to 7186, obliterating any Eritrean
carrier which might have been on its other frequency, 7175 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 3325, Oct 10 at 1248, the SSOB at S8-S5
in Indonesian talk, so RRI Palangkaraya; also carrier on low side of 3345-, so
RRI Ternate. See also UNIDENTIFIED for many more Asian carriers (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11600, Oct 10 at 1257, Denge
Kurdistane with Kurdish music at S9+10, flutter, weaker than 11860 Yemen non.
Talking after 1300, 1322 music, 1340 talk. By 1418 this is S9 to S9+10, stronger
than 11860, but talking about Kurdistan. I prefer the music! Site presumably
BULGARIA during this segment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U
S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1846 monitoring: NOT confirmed Sunday Oct 9 at 2330 on
9330v-CUSB as WBCQ is inaudible, apparently off the air (7490+ is still on the
air). Confirmed UT Monday Oct 10 after 0030 on WRMI, 7730, very good. Confirmed
on Area 51 webcast UT Monday Oct 10 at 0300 but NOT on 5130v-AM as this WBCQ is
also inaudible, off the air (while 7490 remains; no 3250v either). Confirmed UT
Monday Oct 10 at 0345, amid the 0330 broadcast on WRMI 9955, S9+25 but Cuban
pulse jamming audible underneath: tnx a lot, Arnie! I wouldn`t dream of jamming
your boring repetitive DX program full of clichés; no need to. Next WORs:
Mon
2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
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

** U S A [and non]. 680,
Oct 10 at 1236 UT sunrise here, ``America`s number one sports station, KNBR,
680, the sports leader``. At over 1354 miles/2178 km city-to-city, not easily
heard, but this is the best time for it, the only Bay Area station making it
here, the other bigshots without a clear frequency (and slightly further than
NYC, also rare except sometimes 880 WCBS).
A few minutes earlier I was
getting news in Spanish on 680, presumably usual XEORO Sinaloa, as the
lowest-frequency XE still propagating vs the inexorable westward terminator
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** YEMEN [non]. 11860, Oct 10 at
1257, Republic of Yemen Radio presumably via SAUDI ARABIA, with great music I
enjoy, and S9+10 as its `season` has resumed. Same level now as 11600 Kurdistan
non via Bulgaria. 1300 both into talk; 1322 still talking here. 1340 both
talking (but there`s World Music to be heard on 11580 WRMI weekdays at 13-15).
By 1418, 11860 YL talk has diminished to S7-S9, compared to 11600, minished to
S9+10 peaks (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ZAMBIA. 11680,
Monday October 10 at 0528, Voice of Hope - Africa, gospel rock ending with
applause, African-accented YL preacher with today`s Bible reading from I
Corinthians; 0529 transmission break of about 20 seconds! Back on to plug
upcoming `Moments in Bible Prophecy` at 7:45 [CAT = 0545 UT]. As expected, 11680
is good at S9+10, while // 9680 is but a JBA carrier. Both allegedly 100 kW, the
USward direxional 315 degree antenna on 11680 making all the difference.
Scheduled 05-08 UT Mon-Fri on both. No QRM at all, and per Aoki the only problem
could be North Korea but it stops Japanesing at 0500. Now, is there any secular
programming on the schedule, or at least quasi-secular? Of course not! Except
for hard-core intervals like MiBP, the tri-hour is `Rev. Joyce Mwanza, Music in
the Morning - LIVE`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1480+, Oct 10 at 0552 UT, low audible het
(LAH) looping E/W, so not either of my closests, KBXD and KQAM (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4766, Oct 10 at 1252, open carrier
at S5, stronger than 4750. Suspected idling RTTY from western North America, as
discussed in DXLDs 16-27 and 16-16.
From 1248 to 1255 Oct 10, scans of
120, 90, and 60m finds more carriers, most on usual spots from Asia, skipping
the major ones on 4835 Australia and 4940 China:
2325, 3345-, 4750, 4790,
4800, 4810, 4820(2), 4870-, 4885, 4895, 4910, 2485, 4920, 4970, 5010, 5040, 5050
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11770.921, Oct 10
at 0534, open carrier with flutter, making me suspect it`s real, but gone once I
unplug my router, possibly by coincidence. Nigeria, maybe? Only thing scheduled
on 11770 now is Urumqi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
