DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS updated May 2:
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.971, May 2 at 1405, JBA carrier, no doubt LRA36
on signature off-frequency, mostly oceanic path from Esperanza to
Enid, so still active on Thursdays; and Tuesdays altho I could not
detect it on April 30. Later today May 2 at 1820 also heard in Germany
by Harald Kuhl, ``almost readable, with talk program`` on ``15476``
USB plus carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1980, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15140, May 2 at 1823, RHC in dead air instead of Arabic. Hope
the announcer did not choke! Something is always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENIG DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR. 13710, May 1 at 2056, OM solo hymn in English about
``Faithfulness`` then announcement in Chinese! This is supposed to be
the Radio Feda = Arabic hour of MWV; not the first time WCB has
upmixed their languages. Chinese supposed to follow from 2100 on
11610: so was that one in Arabic? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO
1980, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MALI. 13630, May 1 at 2057, Chinese lesson in English, S6-S8; must
be Bamako CRI relay as scheduled at 2000-2100, plus anomalally another
30 minutes of English until 2130 starting French. Lack of reports
lately of any of these relays but I have not been seeking them, just
ran across this. Sporadically active? // for this is 11640: not heard
there aside big Cuban numbers signal on 11635 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD
OF RADIO 1980, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 570, May 2 at 1105, dominant signal is Spanish from the
south, religious program, YL with American accent mentions ``Bible
church``, OM with not, plugging a bunch of meetings/revivals? with
specific home addresses in San Antonio TX, Salinas, El Centro and
several other places in California, from one evening to the next from
April 26? to May 5. By 1122 predicating with frequent keyword
``restauraciÃn`` Ã la previous owner of KVOH. Wondered if KLIF had
gone the way of KEXB, flipped to partial Spanish gospel huxtering, but
think it better-just-be XEBJB Monterrey NL, which despite a ``regional
mexicana`` music format is a.k.a., ``Nueva Vida`` which of course
connotes religion, at least at this daypart.

Raymie Humbert recently compiled a list of stations with religious
concessions, but not including XEBJB; in Monterrey on AM, only 1140
XEMR; see DXLD 19-16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 590, May 2 at 1119, music and ads, 590 frequently plugged,
finally ``Sabrosita`` slogan heard, which = XEPH, 25/10 kW in MÃxico
CDMX, rather than something closer like XEFD in Tamaulipas (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1979 monitoring: confirmed
Wednesday May 1 from 2100 on WRMI 9955 S8/S9+10, also on WBCQ
7490.15v, JBA S3-S5. Also confirmed UT Thursday May 2 at 0100 on WRMI

** U S A. 9330.17v, May 2 at 0036, WBCQ is S9+20 with TOMBS about
Planet X, but doubt it`s the new 500 kW transmitter which AW said
would start testing with RF May 1, so we have been checking it all
day. I expect initially they will not be running it full-bore, but
also expect it would not be off-frequency like the old transmitter.

Random chex later May 2 still find no sign of powerful new transmitter
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1980, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11712.3 approx., May 2 at 1412, SSB talk, but cannot get
it to resolve by tuning USB or LSB back and forth. Could be third
harmonic of a ham around 3904, where nothing is heard, lower band not
propagating in the daytime (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Subject: [dxld] Glenn Hauser logs April 30-May 1, 2019
CUBA. 13739.240, May 1 at 1352, RHC auto-knocked way off-frequency
again today at S9+30. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
(Glenn Hauser,OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
TURKEY. 9830, April 30 at 2206, NO signal from VOT English to North
America yet again. Wake up, sloppyrators at Emirler! (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
U S A. 9475, April 30 at 1738, NO signal from WTWW-1 day frequency,
and yes, once again, Ted has failed to QSY from night frequency 5830
where it`s managing S6-S8 over a fully insolated one-megameter path.
And 9475 still off at 1944: See also 9470 WEWN report (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
U S A. 9330.17 approx., May 1 at 1552, WBCQ is JBA, sounds like
Brother Scare same as on 9395 WRMI, but never synchronized. Allan
Weiner twitted circa 12 UT May 1:
``@AllanWBCQ 4h4 hours ago --- Testing the 500KW free speech
flamethrower this week. RF being made today. Check 9330khz. All
systems go. Exciting stuff this real radio stuff. One transmitter to
billions of receivers. In real time. By real people. Direct to you
from WBCQ.``
But obviously not yet. When on, it should be better than JBA and
closer to 9330.000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ALASKA. 7395, May 1 at 1301, KNLS IS and Chinese IDs, S3-S5 from
100 kW at 300 degrees oppositeward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, May 1 at 0505, RHC English is suptorted; 6060 is good
S9+20; 6100 OC/DA at S9+30; 6165 JBM at S9. Recheck at 0608: 5040 &
6000 off, 6060 good, 6100 & 6165 undermodulated. Something`s always
wrong at RHC.

Also strangely enough, no jamming audible at 0608 on 5980, but surely
will be back before 0700 RM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13739.240, May 1 at 1352, RHC auto-knocked way off-frequency
again today at S9+30. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 9700, May 1 at 0500, RNZI timesignal just after
opening this frequency is JBA! Instead of usual SSOB. Yet K-index at
06 is only 2, no storms (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 15205+ and 15435, April 30 at 1738, both SRI
transmitters detectable, and both go off at 1757*. So my report
yesterday must have had wrong times an hour plus making me think they
were running later! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 6115, April 30 at 2208, WWCR is S9 but JBM,
presumably TOMBS during this hour M-F, too weak to make a match to
9330+ WBCQ. MORE: See USA WWCR, WBCQ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 30 at 2206, NO signal from VOT English to North
America yet again. Wake up, sloppyrators at Emirler! (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 9470, April 30 at 1944, NO signal from WEWN
English unlike yesterday, when 9470 was running 19-24 UT instead of
correct 15610 which is indeed back on today altho JBA, and still at
2212 check.

So 9470 on April 29 must have been a mistake, or possibly a test.
Ironically, today there would have been no ACI from 9475 WTWW since
it`s again stuck on night frequency 5830 in daytime.

12050, what about the other transmitter for Radio CatÃlica Mundial =
WEWN Spanish? April 30 at 1945, an S3-S5 signal with call-in YL host,
but *not* in Spanish, must be Kanuri from Radio Ndarason
International, which thinx it`s a good idea to share any frequency
with a 250/500 kW transmitter anywhere else, but lux out today with
WEWN evidently off.

Originally, RNI was all via Ascension but now HFCC A-19 shows 19-21 is
via Woofferton UK, while 18-19 (if really active? not in Aoki/NDXC)
remains Ascension. Furthermore it shows WEWN 12050 as only 100 kW,
which I could certainly believe from its underpowering signal when
audible. By 2212 a JBA carrier on 12050 presumably now RCM. 500 kW
transmitters downgraded to 100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475, April 30 at 1738, NO signal from WTWW-1 day frequency,
and yes, once again, Ted has failed to QSY from night frequency 5830
where it`s managing S6-S8 over a fully insolated one-megameter path.
And 9475 still off at 1944: See also 9470 WEWN report (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5890, it`s Wednesday May 1 but WWCR is still out of order
like Tuesday: at 0503, open carrier/dead air at S5-S8 about equal
level to modulated 5935. 3215 is S9+20 with TOMBS at 0504, despite
WWCR`s own pdf program schedule still dated April 1 showing this at
0300-0500 only Tue-Sat, then off the rest of the night. TOMBS is still
running on 3215 at 0610 check, when 5890 is still OC/DA. 4840 which
was modulating earlier, is now S9+10 of OC/DA despite scheduling as
TOMBS all-night 0600-1200 weekdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330.17 approx., May 1 at 1552, WBCQ is JBA, sounds like
Brother Scare same as on 9395 WRMI, but never synchronized. Allan
Weiner twitted circa 12 UT May 1:

``@AllanWBCQ 4h4 hours ago --- Testing the 500KW free speech
