** AUSTRALIA. 16546-USB, June 20 at 0504, marine weather for coast of Victoria, 0506 South Australia citing timezone as ``Central Standard Time`` = UT +9.5, by masculine voice. Sounds human rather than robotic, but maybe too well emulated. Distracted by some 2-way SSB on 16540; retuned at 0507 and it was off, so missed an ID if any. Here`s a schedule by time of world`s marine weather broadcasts:http://www.hfunderground.com/wiki/Maritime_Weather_Transmissions
showing this frequency is VMC Charleville, Queensland, at 0430 and 0530, etc. VMW Wiluna WA`s frequency on this band is 16528 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11780, June 20 at 0520, RNA back up to VG signal tonight, and still absent from 6180 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake June 20, before 0400:
16980, JBA at 0347. No others found
Before 0500:
15980, JBA at 0459 with QRM de OTH radar up to 15983. No others found
After 1200:
12320, fair at 1220; break a few sex at 1221, bad edit?
13920, fair-good at 1219
14700, fair-good at 1219
14950, fair-good at 1219
15445, poor at 1215, het on lo side
16100, very poor at 1217
16920, fair at 1217
Before 1500:
14700, very poor at 1442; none higher or lower 11-18 MHz
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COSTA RICA. 9430-9830, June 20 at 0515, REE relay on 9630 is putting out decreasing modulation spike spurs to this extent. 9630 itself is crackly, distorted. The crap was strong enough to be heard underneath Vietnam via Canada on 9555 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 15798-15823, June 20 at 0345, OTH radar pulsing, presumed from here, matched by another one making the same noise at 15490-15515, barely missing R. Australia if you side-tune upward. Checking again at 0458, now one has shifted slightly to 15803-15832 or so; and the lower one has been replaced by 15958-15983, bothering Firedrake 15980, see CHINA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 15480, June 20 at 0500, NA, 0501 Russian announcement, quickly into Qur`an, the standard MO of IRIB, as indeed scheduled, 0500-0530, 500 kW, 320 degrees also USward from Sirjan. Fair signal with flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, June 19 at 1914, R. Kuwait has again replaced English service with Arabic, i.e. Qur`an --- did they get religion? Still the same at 2023 and now // weaker 17550, altho interrupted by brief non-musical narrations (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 15120, June 20 at 0502, open carrier, no modulation, fair signal. Despite the absence of some hum, surely it`s VON. Still mum at 0525 tune-out (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 13570, June 19 at 1913, WINB is back on with Brother Scare; as in last report it had been missing earlier this day at 1241 and 1327. Also BS is back the next morning, June 20 at 1213 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7555, June 20 at 0514, WEWN, R. Católica Mundial is gone again from one of its Spanish frequencies, still audible on the other, 11870, and English on 11520. Next check at 1206, 7555 is still AWOL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
