** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Friday August 19 at 1432 check, almost forgot to mention that LRA36 is still not being heard at the end of another week for about two months now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5605, August 20 at 1121, DentroCuban Jamming Command pulsing, also on 5655. Presumably spurious; no idea how they land on these channels (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH. 6230, 6015, 6003, 5895, 3985, 3912, Aug 20 at 1125 all with same kind of grind jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** LIBYA. 17725, Aug 20 at 1447, zero signal from V. of Africa. Will we ever hear it again, as the rebels close in on Sabrata and Tripoli? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Looking for sunrise DX from XE-land, before 1200 UT August 20, local Enid sunrise today being 1153 UT: found quite a few SS channels in the lower half of the MW band. [No TP carriers yet]

650, Aug 20 at 1202, TC as 6:02, opening farm show, mentions ``aquí en Culiacán``; trouble is, no 650 in that city, so must be relayed from: 
650 XETNT Radio 65 + FM 106.5 Los Mochis, Sin. 5,000 1,000 per Cantú,
http://www.mexicoradiotv.com/frec_am.htm

770, Aug 20 at 1156 UT, `Los Cuarenta Principales` slogan, mentioned 104.3 FM between songs in English and then Spanish. Cantú shows the only match is:
770 XEREV Los 40 Principales + FM 104.3 Los Mochis, Sin. 5,000 100
so surely on day power of 5 kW already.

870, had open carrier at 1150 UT Aug 20 looping NE/SW, likely XETAR, 
870 XETAR La Voz de la Sierra Tarahumara Guachochi, Chih. 10,000 D
while another Mexican further south was already musical. 1200 NA, but fading out before definite ID. WWL was long gone.

1040, Aug 20 at 1159 UT, ``La Primera en FM, 90.1``, Sonora mentioned. Cantú shows: 1040 XEGYS La Primera + FM 90.1 Guaymas, Son. 5,000 250
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 17510, Aug 20 at 1141, RRI in English talk about an authoress who had succeeded after being abused; OSOB as 16m had not really opened up yet, nor even 19m. RRI continues to amaze with its ability to get thru when other stations do not. By 1207 when RRI was off, 16m had opened up with lots of other signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN. 9725, poor August 20 at 1306, YL tonal syllables, 8 at a time between pauses, presumably Chinese numbers from Star-Star station (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13570, August 19 at 2039, anapaestic androgynous preacher/ess on WINB at S9+20, plus spurs out to 13500/13640, peaking around 13530. Haven`t noticed this particular problem before (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330-CUSB, Aug 20 at 1130, 1215, 1303, open carrier/dead air, no doubt WBCQ while the automated feed from Good Friends Radio Network had crashed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 11520, August 20 at 1310 poor signal sure sounds like Harold Droning. Are they still playing old tapes from Taiwan rather than current feed from Oakland? Aoki shows 11520 at 11-15, only this hour in English, Paochung site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
