Glenn Hauser logs May 14, 2014

** AUSTRALIA. 15300, May 14 at 0300, yes, R. Australia is back here tonight, not 15530, but with news in English. A token French broadcast had been scheduled 0300-0315 M-F; what became of that? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also UNIDENTIFIED 15300

** BRAZIL. 6120, May 14 at 0101, poor signal with music, presumably the Brazilian SRDA so I check 11765 on the other radio and they are // and almost synchronized as both go into wacky wailing gospel huxter Davi Miranda. 6120 is ex-R. Globo, in São Paulo, while 11765 is Super Rádio Deus é Amor, Curitiba. BTW, if you lose the acute over the e, you are misstating the name as ``Super Radio God AND Love`` instead of ``Super Radio God IS Love``. Accents matter! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9810, May 14 at 0113, RHC Spanish modulation is cutting out, on usual very poor signal here, // much stronger 11670 and an echo apart from it, so from the two different sites. Aoki shows 9810 as 100 kW, 340 degrees from Habana --- no way, with that crummy signal that it`s toward USA. RHC`s own schedule claims it`s for Central America,

which is more like it, roughly off the side here with minimized signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 12070, May 14 at 0129, R. Cairo Spanish service with no program modulation at all, very strong signal with some hum, and motorboating spikes, extending out plus/minus 25 kHz ranging 12045-12095. // 11710v has plenty of Spanish program modulation here and very distorted, plus Argentine het. Other // 9315 is also somewhat distorted and overmodulated, but much better by comparison (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9430 VG > 7475 F > 15650 VP, May 14 at 0105, Elleniki Radiophonia still going on all three Avlis transmitters, woman in Greek mentioning socialism (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, May 14 at 0100, R. Chaski carrier and enough to push thru some talk modulation, still running later and later until cutoff at 0111:08* which is 17.5 seconds later than last check two sesquidays ago May 11 when it was 0110:50.5, averaging 5 and five sixths seconds later per 24 hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5050, UT Wednesday May 14 at 0116, WWRB-1 is on the air again, with Terry Blalock preacher, who seems to have cultivated Tourette`s Syndrome to make himself sound more assertive. 9370 also on with BS but unheard on 3185 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330-CUSB, May 14 at 0117, Rod Hembree preaching as if were an American, fair signal on WBCQ. This frequency has been inaudible a lot lately, especially in the daytime; was unsure if due to propagation or QRP. It used to be listed on WBCQ schedules as 24 hours (or rather 23, except for some financial show), but in A-14 HFCC it`s shown as 12-06 only. Now the WBCQ program schedules have been updated to show Hembree`s Good Friends Radio Network (which includes programming from various other gospel huxters), greatly reduced on 9330 but added at certain times to two other WBCQs:

5110: 0200-0500 UT Tue-Sat
7490: 0200-0500 UT Sunday
9330: 2300-0200 daily plus UT Mondays until 0500
Hey, Assad, now`s your chance to get R. Damascus thru to North America before 2300 without `BCQ blockage!

7489.72, May 14 at 0120, BS via WBCQ measured this far off-frequency but nothing to het it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505.20, May 14 at 0118, WRNO back on the air at full strength, gospel rock, but somewhat undermodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13560.68 approx., May 14 at 0122, JBA AM carrier with spoken programming, vs CODAR and much stronger hash on the lo side, so best heard in USB mode. Just too weak, but the third time this has shown up here, the last two with old-time radio shows. Could be someone`s part-15 device for his own use; or a pirate?

BTW, when I`m DXing in the 01-02 UT period, I always check for pirates on the 6.9 MHz band, but mostly don`t hear any there. When I do, I surely report those logs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15300, May 14 at 0131, open carrier/dead air on fair signal. Nothing scheduled here until 0300; see AUSTRALIA. RA already audible at 0131 on poor 17795, fair 17840 during country music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 0311 UT May 14

** AUSTRALIA. 15300, May 14 at 0508, R. Australia is still here in English instead of 15530, 24 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammers morning of May 14, no Firedrake heard:
16100, May 14 at 1254, CNR1 jammer, fair; none in the 17s, 18s
13130, May 14 at 1256, CNR1 jammer, very poor; no others in the 12s, 14s; and inband only in the 15s
But see also TIBET [non]: 19000, 18990
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. Typo in previous report: 9420, of course, not 9430, fixed:
9420 VG > 7475 F > 15650 VP, May 14 at 0105, Elleniki Radiophonia [or NERIT now?] still going on all three Avlis transmitters, woman in Greek mentioning socialism (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 17780 & 15340, May 14 at 0527, RRI IS and off, closing French to Africa via Tiganeshti; 17760, May 14 from *0528, RRI IS preceding English to Africa via Galbeni; all poor but that IS really cuts thru (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. Speakers other than Brother Scare are being heard a lot lately on The Overcomer Ministry, making us wonder if BS is OK (health-wise; he`s been out of his mind forever). 9370, 9955, 9980, 9690, May 14 at 1409 I catch BS himself but only in generic contact announcements, then discussion of Temple Mount turned over to others. Has anyone heard BS himself mention current events lately? Of course, once he`s really in the boneyard on his homepage there will be countless recordings to play forevermore like other deceased but radiologically immortal huxters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TIBET [non]. 19000, May 14 at 1251, heavy CCI between CNR1 jammer and presumed RFA Tibetan via KUWAIT (and on the FRG-7 also combating the internal MHz birdie). 1308 recheck, now there`s a very poor signal on 18990, with whine, different jamming? Until *1309:10 CNR1 jammer overrides, goes off and back on to stay. The 19000-to-18990 switch at 1300 matches the RFA schedule in Aoki for Wednesdays (and Saturdays) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1720 monitoring: 9955, Wed May 14 at 1315, WRMI ID by some guy in OK interrupts the Austrian winner of the Eurovision Song Contest, which was on the tail of the Cypriot show running a bit late; then WOR 1720 confirmed on final(?) repeat.

WORLD OF RADIO 1721:
UT Thursday 0330 on WRMI 9955 (if ready in time)

Wednesday 0630 & 1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB
Chances are high that some of the above airings will be missing for some reason, so please keep trying (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, May 14 at 0549, The Overcomer Ministry is back on here, after missing more than a week, i.e. the WTWW-2 frequency with VG signal. // but not synch 7570 WRMI, 3185 WWRB and 5890 WWCR. 5085 was not on earlier in the 01-02 period. Circa 0520, TOM was still audible on substitute(?) frequency 12105, but not once I hear it on 5085. So the question is, whether 5085 is now the #2 or #3 transmitter? Wolfgang Büschel was still hearing 5085 at 0820.

All three WTWW transmitters are absent from all five frequencies, May 14 at 1407, 1417 chex, despite nominal start now at 1400 on day channels. But at 1525 check, it`s back to abnormal with TOM on 12105, SFAW on 9475 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505.2, May 14 at 0538, JBA carrier on the current off-frequency of WRNO, presumably leaving the exciter on after the full-power broadcast which did occur earlier after 0100, nominally only until 0400. Wolfgang Büschel replies: ``7505.219, Yes, a very weak peak visible on SDR screen at 0850 UT May 14`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 690, May 14 at 0557 UT, open carrier presumed KGGF Coffeyville KS as the DF fits, not really off following their ``sign-off`` shortly after 0500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 960, May 14 at 0502 UT during KGWA Enid Fox-hole, among the sigs audible with KGWA hummy carrier nulled as much as possible, is one playing ``Let It Be`` instrumentally. I have heard this more than once during the hole, so it may be a midnite tradition at some station, possibly musical WABG Greenwood MS, tho it`s nominally Blues format (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15615, May 14 circa 1245, the mystery open carrier heard yesterday around this time is absent today. Possibly it was a CNR1 jammer transmitter with nothing to jam at the time, like V of Tibet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 1552 UT May 14
