But mainly Aug 15 with bits before and after

Last time I had lots of logs, but they were not ``lots`` as typoed in
the subject line

** ANGUILLA. 6090, Aug 16 at 0159, CB is on with gospel music break;
fits into the PMS schedule ``Friday Midnight to 4 am Nighttime 6.090
MHz`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, Aug 16 at 0200, RHC English is S9+10/20 but JBM /
suptorted; // 6165 is undermod but sufficient if you really want to
listen to it. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7254.9, Aug 15 at 0620, no signal from VON in Hausa; it
was there 24 hours earlier, routinely non-logged (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. Re my previous report about an electronic billboard
advertising that Rush and Sean were coming to FM in Enid, i.e. CP for
a new KGWA 960 translator on 100.9:

At a stoplight a few days later I watch the billboard longer: loads
of local bizzes flashing but not KGWA by the golight; however, the
billboard itself is owned by its parent, Williams Broadcasting,
following the Clear Channel model! Hmmm, could they add a Part 15
transmitter to the sign? Ooooh (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 12030, Thu Aug 15 at 2155, REE is AWOL from ME frequency
before closing time; Spanish still on 11940 for S America and //
stronger 9690 for N America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9830, Aug 15 at 2200, VOT is on today starting correct
language English with timesignal about 3 seconds slow, but VP signal
vs RTTY which hasn`t stopped quite yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1994 monitoring: confirmed
Wednesday August 14 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, S9-S6 after IS & ID loop. By
my watch & WWV, started about half a second late, but still upcut
picking me up at ``---with World of Radio 19-94---``. Cannot hear
simulcast on WBCQ 7490 at first, but soon confirmed L&C on webcast;
and finally at 2126, enough signal S3-S5 on 7490+ direct to tell it`s
about 1 second behind 9955, or 4-5 words. Of course, no WBCQ sigs to
be detected circa 9330, 6160 or 5130; some weeks ago this emission was
duplicated on 5130+ but probably anomalous.

Also confirmed UT Thursday August 15 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, poor in
storm noise but still no line noise.

WORLD OF RADIO 1995 contents: Albania [non], Antarctica, Australia,
Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brasil, Bulgaria, Cuba, France, Germany, Hungary,
Iran non, Kashmir non, Korea South, Kuwait, Niger, Nigeria, Sikkim,
Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, USA, Vatican, Zambia; and the propagation
outlook

** U S A. 7490.180, Aug 16 at 0154 tune-in to S9+10/20 of dead air,
then Brother Scare cuts on WBCQ. Apparently he starts at 0100 on the
five nights a week when nothing else is scheduled, still nothing at:

** U S A. 15550-USB, Aug 14 at 1425, JBA gospel music, 1427 gospel
huxter, piano hymn, alternating talk and hymns past 1435, as WJHR has
jumped again from 15555-USB. IIRC 15550 was its original frequency
when first on the air; has occasionally resumed it for no discernible
reason --- in fact, counterproductive as 15555 has been clear of other
broadcasters during WJHR`s 14-22 span, while 15550 is not. Notably
Radio Dabanga via Vatican at 1529-1557. At 1808 still a trace of it on
15550-USB.

As recently as August 9 I had WJHR on 15555-USB when it was on the air
early at 1357. Also checked August 15 at 1408, JBA on 15550-USB. At
1529 I do hear Dabanga/Vatican JBA carrier but not WJHR here nor on
15555. Aoki/NDXC already shows WJHR on 15550 only, while EiBi and HFCC
show 15555 only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1995, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 5830, Aug 15 at 0627, WTWW-1 is off, and not heard on 9475
either; lower propagation is OK from neighbor 5935 WWCR. Circa 1630
check, 9475 is off, and not heard on 5830 either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Area tropo August 14 at 1430-1500+ UT in the 200 km range
finds best signal on RF 45 which turns out to be KSNW `3` Wichita,
altho Hepburn map implies Tulsa would be more likely, if KOTV still be
on 45 (my screen first defaults to remembered 6-1, then corrects to
3-1). Other Bad signals correlate with Wichita market: 31, 26, 10,
8.

Also an intriguing one on RF 32: in OK and KS a bunch of translators
or LDs, including an imaginary in Enid; only one full power 135 kW,
KRSU Claremore, ex-35. Meanwhile I snap some photos of KSNW:
Now we know why the Today Third Hour is delayed until the fourth hour,
i.e. after 1500 UT: they insert syndicated Live with Kelly and Ryan.
Is it really, or just has to air everywhere at 9 am local?

Also some breakups for pixyllated DTV art:

You may also see edges of a window and another screen in background;
tilt. You should have seen the art that got away! (Glenn Hauser, Enid

** VATICAN. 17530, Aug 15 at 1334, JBA carrier and then JBA talk is
the OSOB and SSOB, but what? HFCC shows only VOA Somali via SMG;
nothing audible at 1407 during the break until Botswana start English
at 1500, but during which VOA Grimesland might do a weekday carrier
test (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
