** CHINA. 15570, Aug 8 at 2315, very poor in Chinese, i.e. CNR1 jammer, typical
pushy programming, probably propaganda, against VOA Mandarin via Tinian, this
hour only per Aoki. Nothing else extra-continental audible on 19mb (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. A festival of `frogs on the 25m
band tnx to RHC`s piling up high-power transmitters here, Aug 8 at 2307-2320 as
I unravel these leapfrog mixing products:
11810, noted first with Spanish
// 6000, the `Mesa Redonda` TV simulcast which this hour only is separate from
the other RHC Spanish frequencies. 11810 is S5-S2 and quite readable, mixing
with English underneath, i.e. 11950, the other M.R. channel, leaping over 11880
another 70 kHz lower. 11950 is S9+40, 11880 is S9+45 and somewhat distorted.
Subject of M.R. is climate change, loss of species. 11810 is quite stronger than
the 11840 parasites on 11830 & 11850.
12000, has a very poor weak mix
of two programs. It might have been 2 x 6000 but not in this case, rather 11760
Spanish leaping over 11880 English another 120 kHz beyond. I should have checked
for the reverse on 11640.
12019.95, at 2318 mainly English audio S3-S1
from 11880, leaping over 11950 to 70 kHz beyond, or almost. 11950 is axually a
bit on the low side about 11949.97. There`s always something wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 7750, August 8 at 2158, JBA
carrier, tnx to tip from Wolfgang Büschel that today AIR Bengaluru punched the
wrong frequency, instead of 7550 for the GOS, first caught by Patrick Robich,
Austria (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 6224-USB,
August 8 at 0603, marine weather in English, very poor, mostly numbers copiable,
knots, barometer. It`s ZLM, Taupo Maritime Radio, in between scheduled
broadcasts per EiBi, at 0533-0553 & 0803-0823. Last logged this in December
of 2015 with similar observations when I also added: ``Taupo is in the middle of
North Island, at the NE corner of lake of same name, as far from a coast as you
can get, but at a good skip distance, and not far from RNZI`s Rangitaiki site, I
think`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA.
6940-USB, August 8 at 2300, pirate with rap at S8, and annoying screaming over
background music past 2303. These logs, with the wrong date on thread header as
Aug 9 instead of really Aug 8
say
it was Clever Name Radio intermittently between 2152 and 0017 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9395 // 9455,
Aug 8 at 2258, both with WRMI Oldies, except at this moment wrapping up a VOA
newscast relay insert.
7570 & 7730, Aug 8 at 2304, no signals from
WRMIBS, but weakest 7780 is on. As I listen, 7730 at least cuts on about
*2304:40, still no 7570. 7570 & 7730 are scheduled to start at 2300, 7780
from 2200. Currently none of them are switching immediately from a higher
frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6180,
August 8 at 0636, very weak signal from algo, which at 0607 would have been VOA
French via São Tomé, but supposed to end at 0630 weekdays. Anker Petersen,
Denmark, has twice reported RN Amazônia recently on 6180 around 0130 with no
interference from CRI in English via Kashgar, which is all I`ve heard that
early. So is RNA on, perhaps with low power and/or sporadically? No, 6180 does
not work out to be a possible Cuban leapfrog on 49m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7520-USB, August 8 at 2305, 2-way in
Spanish before becomes occupied by WWCR at 0000 or India at 0015, and after RFA
Tibetan via Kuwait uses it twice a week until 2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
