** CANADA. 15034-USB, May 5 at 1324, Trenton Military with `no report
received`` over and over from Winnipeg, Calgary, Cold Lake, Edmonton;
and at 1325 NRR from Comox, Victoria, Vancouver, Abbotsford. The
automaton doesn`t seem to care, but drones on endlessly. One suspects
the problem is at Trenton, not all these other air terminals (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 11460, May 5 at 1424, S2-S3 but clear Western classical
music, obviously CNR1 jammer and // another on 11785. Aoki/NDXC shows
11460 one of countless Sound of Hope, Miaoli, Taiwan frequencies with
jamming. My quick survey of WOOB areas from 10 to 15 MHz finds no
others now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, May 5 at 0557, RHC English is S9+20 but suptorted,
unlike 6060, 6100, 6165 all better modulation, with produxion
credits, plugging Sunday programs, and reopening Saturday show a bit
before 0600. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [non]. 11860, Sat May 4 at 1754, Radio Martà reconfirmed now
active weekends too on this frequency; atop jamming about same as
11930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [non]. 5980, UT Sun May 5 at 0004, no signal from TV MartÃ,
and no jamming either, so this new 22-03 UT broadcast remains M-F/Tue
-Sat only. There is however a JBA carrier, presumably RRI Romanian,
which also moved here, in clear at least on UT Sun & Mon (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENINIG DIGEST)

** GUATEMALA. 4055, UT Sunday May 5 at 0544, TGAV is off already
rather than usual ~0610v* except earlier circa 0400 UT Mondays (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MALI. 11640 & 13630, May 4 at 2103, no signals from CRI English
relay, unlike the past few days one and or both audible (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Awake briefly after 1100 UT May 3, checked for pre-sunrise
Mexicans on lowband MW, but nothing to be heard unlike yesterday on
570 & 590, and many more on April 29, 26. How drastically conditions
may change (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6185, May 4 at 2114, VP S5 signal, JBM at best. Must be
XEPPM, which apparently leaves at least carrier on all day. This
early, little else detectable on 49m besides 6070, 5830 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9925, UT Sunday May 5 at 0004, JBA carrier from
presumed Mighty Farty KBC back on reactivated summer frequency via
GERMANY, instead of 5960 which is vacant. That probably would have
still propagated better, but confronted storm noise level. Maybe
something on 7 MHz band would be better in the `shoulder-season`
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, May 5 at 1615 UT, K17JN-D, Enid DTV 3ABN
satellator is OFF the air, all six subchannels; sometime, unlogged May
4 I noticed it was back after dead-air black-screens but plenty signal
on May 3.

Now slight tropo enhancement brings Bad signals on RF 42 and RF 18. 42
is surely KBZC-LD OKC, but 18? Could be repack CP channel for KOPX OKC
but it`s still going on RF 50, both in W9WI.com as 200 kW. There are 5
RF 18 translators elsewhere in OK, none likely here (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [and non]. 11670, May 4 at 2105, REE poorly audible on its
weakest frequency due to azimuth, but no RHC clash yet which could be
starting at 2100? No, one RHC schedule shows not until *2300 for Rio
de Janeiro. That is when REE closes 11670 at 2300* M-F; however they
usually stay on for several more minutes of IS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1980 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
May 4 at 2100 on WRMI 9955: *2059 just in time with partial IS & ID
loop, but upcut opening of WOR after my first ten words; fair S8-S9.

Also confirmed on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, UT Sunday May 5 at 0329 about 17

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490.00, May 4 at 1752, 2057, no trace of WBCQ-6 super-
station test, unlike earlier at 1540 when I did have a weak open
carrier. Meanwhile, 9330 remains always off-frequency from old
transmitter with TOMBS, such as at 1752; 2058 measured on 9330.04.

7490.12, UT Sun May 5 at 0151, WBCQ with J. P. Ferraro`s `Shortwave
Saturday Night`, averaging S9 discussing the Vietnam war. NOT on #6
but obviously still via old off-frequency transmitter. Earlier at
0004, some other show ``live`` as of ``April 3``, while 9330.1 and
5130+ were JBA carriers only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9265V, Saturday May 4 at 1730, WINB presumably with Unique
Radio from Australia, Tim Gaynor`s `Sounds of Your Life`, on new
schedule, but very poor and wobbly signal.

OTOH, until 1729 I had local-quality excellent reception from 12160
WWCR with `The Talking Machine Show` of ancient cylinder music. Only
an occasional slight selective fade tipped that this was SW. However,
much of the time 12160 is not in solid, too close/too high (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15825 & 13845, May 5 at 1322, WWCR gospel huxters are S9+10
with sporadic E boost; by 1424, 15825 down to JBA. But by 1605, DX map
shows estimated Es MUF of 106 MHz with 6m contacts across the country
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5830, May 4 at 1750, WTWW-1 is S9 on night frequency, but
JBM? 9475 is off; at 1836 still JBM 5830 when ham show should be on.
By 2102, 5830 has resumed PPPP on SFA, still not on day frequency 9475
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, May 4 at 2330-2400 approx., WTWW-2 with `Theater Organ
in the Ozarx` confined about to nominal slot; toward the end heard
some of it on stereo webcast, which was running about 5 seconds
*ahead* of SW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1130, May 4 at 2055 UT, KLEY Wellington KS is off the air
again; first noted absent May 3 circa 2345 UT, much pre-sunset. Before
then had not noticed any transmission problems (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13660, Sunday May 5 at 1700-1710, no signal via UTwente
SDR, altho HFCC has something brokered by RMI via ISS, FRANCE on days
1/3/5 = Sun/Tue/Thu. Ivo Ivanov assumes it`s clandestine. But
presumably a mistake, as Jeff White says Alameda Bible Fellowship is
running at 1700-1730 M/W/F (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15571.2-USB, May 5 at 1320, VP 2-way in Spanish as I am
making pro-forma check for 15575 KBS so-called North American service:
not a trace of it; while CRI East Turkistan is poorly audible on 15590
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 1917 UT May 5

** CUBA. 9790, May 4 at 0331, CRI English relay is S9+20/10 but just
barely modulated. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MALI. 11640, May 3 at 2107, CRI English relay VP but detectable //
much stronger 13630. 11640 is scheduled 1800-2130 in Hausa, Arabic,
Portuguese and finally English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, May 4 at 1416 UT, K17JN-D, Enid`s only local TV
signal, the 3ABN satellator, is on air at Good+ signal level, but
black screen and silence on all six subchannels, rather than only
three of them. Boo, hoo.

Hepburn tropo map for 1500 May 4 shows a level-3 blob between Enid and
OKC, but nothing unusual beyond traces of Bad signals on low-power
channels 21 and 42 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9515.007V, May 4 at 0320, VOT English YL talking about
Ottoman Empire history, undermodulated and muffled, soon into music,
S9+10/20 and with flutter. Frequency is also wobbling slightly,
Doppler effect? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 9740, May 3 at 2103, ``VOA Afrique`` ID in passing
during French news, fair; wonder which site? It`s Woofferton UK, 2100
-2130 M-F, 250 kW at 158 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1979 monitoring: missed checking Friday May 3
at 2200 on WRMI 9955, but presumably replayed. Confirmed UT Saturday
May 4 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, fair. Due to an uploading delay by gh,
1979 continued rather than 1980 for these two times.

Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria observes: ``GERMANY, Reception of World of Radio

WORLD OF RADIO 1980 monitoring: woke up at 1159 UT Sat May 4, one
minute too late to confirm that 1980 had been broadcast as scheduled
at 1130.

As usual WOR cannot be confirmed Saturday May 4 at 1431 on HLR 9485-
CUSB; via UTwente no signal, just super-splash from 9490. Anyway, HLR
probably is repeating 1979 instead of 1980 this weekend.

** U S A. 7490.123v, Friday May 3 at 2119, WBCQ with `Behaviour Night`
ancient music recordings, but too weak in noise level to enjoy.
Earlier today the 500 kW transmitter was reported testing with open
carrier only on 7490 --- I`ve yet to see anyone confirming its exact
frequency which should be much closer to 7490.000. Unfortunately, we
cannot expect any of our favorite programs to become audible as
Superstation time will primarily be for the funders, the flat-earth
``Worlds Last Chance`` ministries.

7490+, UT Saturday May 4 after 0000, William Tell Overture but AAAWWW
hosted this week instead by Pirate Joe Ferraro, from his own studio at
WHVW in NY. Not long before AW calls in from some hamfest in New
Hampshire, and he`s on the horn until 0034 as I keep listening for the
latest info on the 500 kW project, summarizing:

Initial on-air testing has been on 7490 with open carrier only, not
9330 as he had publicized earlier. PJ`s own show `Shortwave Saturday
Night` *may* be on the 500 kW, on its regular schedule 7490 UT Sunday
0100-0400, at the usual azimuth of 245 degrees as on the old antenna.

The 500, transmitter #6, is all water-cooled, including tubes, coils,
vacuum capacitors costing $ 25K each. The whole thing is very complex
and all computer-controlled. Modulation is 95% efficient. Power level
is being brought up slowly; was 135 kW with brief tests to 400 kW. WLC
programming normal sked should begin later this month mainly on 9330.
A new frequency in the ``5-6 MHz band`` will be available at night.
(Nonesuch yet in HFCC,
http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A19&broadc=BCQ
but shows hour-by-hour languages and azimuths planned? for 9330 and
still lists the imaginary 15420)

Part of the time I listen on 9330.13v, but as it fades down, back to
7490.12v. At 0034 JP resumes with totally unrelated ``stream of
consciousness`` musings about cars and Detroit, and at 0055 recheck
something about US Grant.

Here`s John Carver`s version: ``Tonight's show started early on 7490.
Pirate Joe is the host this evening while Allan and Angela are at
NearFest. Killing time with mild political talk while waiting for
Allan to call in. Difficult to copy Allan over Pirate Joe's phone
patch. Lot of static this evening. Allan announced that they have been
testing the new transmitter the last two days and are planning to take
it to full power tomorrow. Possibly will be broadcasting tomorrow's
7490 programs over the new transmitter. Most of the program this
evening is devoted to political talk and WHVW items with little about
WBCQ. It was announced that a Go Fund Me page had been started for
WHVW. Show was off the air at 0100. John, Mid-North Indiana``

AW`s latest twit circa 12 UT May 4: ``More power today for the worlds
superstation. Hopefully to 500kw. Testing on 7490khz. Later this week
on 9330khz. One megawatt average load for 500kw out at average
modulation. Wow. All for you the special shortwave listeners. Support
us. The last free speech radio voice. Ground.`` Ground refers to his
shot of some grounding cables by some posts, supporting the feedline?

After WWCR is finished with 7490 at 1500, May 4 at 1540 check, I do
have an open carrier on 7490.002, which must be WBCQ-6, but it`s only
S2-S3, certainly not Super. Of course if this were put on 11, 13 or 15
MHz in the daytime it would propagate much better, but no plans for
that. Could really be 7490.000 within my margin of error (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** 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

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

** 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)

This report dispatched at 0038 UT May 3

** 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
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)

This report dispatched at 1615 UT May 1

** CUBA. 15230, April 30 at 1415, RHC is just barely modulated here at
S9 during `Sonido Cubano`, while 15140 is sufficient at S9+10.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 5980, checked at 0053 UT April 30: this is not VOA
in Spanish [as Wolfgang Bueschel assumed?], but TV Marti, per numerous
IDs after an interview about the elexions in Spain. Possibly they
mentioned Voz de America at some point. Heavy jamming, but TVM on top.
Not hearing any RRI in the mix at first, but detectable at 0111,
Romanian // 7420 in the clear, both scheduled 0000-0200. RRI QSY to
5980 was blindsided by OCB`s abrupt decision to put TVM audio on SW.

TVM also plugged again the secure website to access it; could not copy
but seems to end in .info. So far I have not found a reference to that
on the insecure site martinoticias.com or
http://www.radiotelevisionmarti.com

** OKLAHOMA. DTV RF 13, April 30 at 1424 UT, all four OETA channels
are displaying the neat `Technical Difficulties` TP illustrating a
wrench, screwdriver and hammer amid the old-style circles, and tiny ID
lettering at the bottom --- both OTA and the two available via cable.

Here is a shot of it made last year:
http://www.w4uvh.net/OETAtechpat2018.jpg

Erratically audio-only comes on and sometimes video, before back to
TP, ruining reception of programming until 1500 UT, then apparently
back in business. A small but perhaps severe storm was moving thru
OKC, maybe turning OETA`s satellite dish for PBS into a rain gauge!

(In Enid circa 0900 UT we had the same severe storm dumping two inches
of rain into ours; and flood watches continue. And a tornado warning
issued at 1616 UT for the Carney-Cushing OK area, just NE of OKC. At
1636 another warning for Osage County; fortunately away from Enid and
not moving thisaway. But NWS interrupting OETA programming.)

The other OKC stations remained OK, except RF 16, KOCM ``46`` Norman,
black screen and silence until recovery of Daystar gospel-huxtering at
1437 UT (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 15435, April 29 at 1822, weak Arabic talk and pop
music. Presumably SBA program 1 extended, as all references show its
span is only 1500-1800, General program (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

15205.057, April 29 at 1823, VP talk, ME song, also presumed SBA
always off-frequency here, and also on past nominal 1545-1757 span per
Aoki/NDXC, 1600-1800 per EiBi and HFCC; 500 kW, 320 degrees USward
beyond Eurotarget; WRTH lists as Qur`an program.

The next day, I am having second thots --- were these really heard at
1722 and 1723 UT, wrong times entered due to DST confusion? Must
recheck today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

17615.067, April 30 at 1416, JBA carrier from always off-frequency SBA
is nevertheless the SSOB, nothing else audible but an ever weaker one
on 17780 from BBC Ascension. Nothing audible from the other Riyadhs on
17705 & 17895 which supposedly run until 1500 and are aimed USward
unlike 17615 at 190 degrees! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 29 at 2247, VOT English to North America has
been on, but successfully all the way from *2200? Now it`s sign-off
time with ``news pre-recorded`` disclaimer; S8/S9+10, and right into
IS loop. And no German extra after 2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1979 monitoring: confirmed UT Tue
Apr 30 at 0114 the 0100 on WRMI 7780, fair. Next:
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780

[it appears we will now be running on a Friday-to-Thursday cycle, so
freshest new airings are on weekends]

** U S A. 9470, April 29 at 1941, surprised to find something here,
Christian call-in in English, S8-S9, but tuning LSB totally separable
from much stronger 9475 WTWW-1 at S9+20. 1947 EWTN ID in passing,
guest a know-it-all about Catholic theology. 9470 is of course WEWN
English frequency registered for 09-13 UT only, 335 degrees toward ``Bejing``.

After a 6-hour break, English supposed to resume at 1900, 85 degrees
for Africa on 15610 --- but nothing on 15610 now. Recheck 2251, 9470
is still on with call-in past 2300. So is this nevertheless
deliberate, 9470 propagating much better around here anyway than
15610? Or a mistake, failure to retune transmitter after previous
emission? Normally, two US SW stations would never be authorized
simultaneously only 5 kHz apart! We shall soon find out if this recur
from 1900 UT April 30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5890, April 30 at 0604, WWCR open carrier at S9+10/20, and
also 3215 at S9+20/30 with some hum; while the other two are
modulating on 4840 and 5935. Another Tuesday when this happens
reliably, altho I can`t be sure it does not also happen certain other
days of week. WHY? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

DTV PIXILLATED ART FROM THE HAUSER COLLEXION

I am amassing a growing collexion of DTV breakup images from my Sanyo
screen, often producing startling/beautiful art. Each one is unique
and can never be replicated. This happens when stations are on the
verge, only partially decoding and/or when the frame freezes during a
channel change, capturing parts of two different stations. I have not
kept track of the stations, times or circumstances involved, altho
IIRC this latest one involved KDCD 31 Derby KS, which fortunately froze
long enough for grabbing a camera:

Eventually I plan to organize a gallery of these ARTifacts
