 ** ALBANIA. 9570, Aug 13 at 0023, CRI English relay is reactivated at S9+10, also // 6020, which we ``need`` before Cuban relay start at 0100 on 9580.
Yay, my high local line noise level is off, after a rainy day, washing off the transformers and insulators? Now I can DX below 9 MHz and hear more clearly the storm noise levels! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BRAZIL. 11855.734v, Aug 13 at 2217, R. Aparecida, S4-S5 in Brazuguese talk, splitting right here at the moment, edging a bit further away from 11850.0 RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BULGARIA. 5900, Aug 14 at 0225, Arabish talk mixed with variety bits of music including Debussy, S9+20, 0229 I have to check something else so missed an ID or sign-off. At 0200-0230 per Aoki/NDXC, Kostinbrod carries the Dardasha 7 program of Bible Voice: not 0300-0330 as in EiBi. At 0230 I`m back to hear dead air; 0231 fade-up slowly: Brother HyStairical, so obviously it`s Secretbrod. At this hour he`s also on (at least) 7490+ WBCQ; 7570 & 7730 WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. 9155, Aug 13 at 1255, Chinese dialog at S5-S8, presumed CNR1 jammer; cursory check finds no more WOOB ones higher (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also ALBANIA ** CUBA. 6100, Aug 13 at 0510, RHC English is S9+20/30 but undermodulated & distorted; 6165 is S9+10 and very undermodulated but not distorted; 6000 is S9+10, very undermodulated and suptorted; and 5040 is in Spanish instead of English. Strikeout! S9+10/20 with hum. 5025, Radio Rebelde at 0521 is also somewhat distorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 6000, Aug 13 at 0233, RHC English is S9+10 but just barely modulated and suptorted; slightly better on the only // 6165 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 1300, Aug 13 at 0551, ID right away at tune-in, ``Radio Mexicana, 1,300 AM`` and shortly an oración. That`s XEP in Juárez.. Sounding much more like 38 kW day power than 200 watts night, per WRTH, which also calls this ``Fiesta Mexicana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11820.05, Aug 13 at 2220, soporific Qur`aning lullabyes my nap (a compliment, not a criticism), poor signal gradually improves by when I rouse at 2245. I also wonder if each cantor ad-libs the notes, or if certain words and phrases are always sung the same way? Translations of the Qur`an do exist, so would it be OK for someone to recite those musically in e.g. English? Something one never hears (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TURKEY. 9830, Aug 13 at 2217, NO signal from Voice of Turkey, English to North America. As Ivo says, Something`s always wrong at Emirler. Maybe they got it going in time to broadcast the wrong language, German, after 2300? Did not recheck today. Propagation OK with Saudi and Spain making it well (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A.. 8137-USB, Aug 13 at 1252, the yacht weather advice guy from WCY Lakeland FL, weak and also audible on weaker // 12350-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1994 monitoring: not confirmed Sunday August 11 at 2130 on WRMI since 7780 is a JBA carrier vs high noise level, but confirmed in NB by Richard Langley: ``2130 World of Radio #1994; again, last sentences cut off by transition music``. Confirmed UT Monday August 12 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, good S9+10, as always following outdated ``Son-Power Radio worldband from studios of WRMI on 5850, 7455! and 9395`` ID at 0129, and a pause. Also on poor 7780. Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 12 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, audible in HNL. Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 12 starting late after JL on Area 51 webcast at 0304:45; at 0328 check via WBCQ 5130.35, S9+10 including HNL. (also detect a JBA carrier on 6160.75: is that WBCQ, and me?) Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 12 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, VG S9+20. Also confirmed UT Tue Aug 13 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, fair S7-S9. Next: 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html BTW, since I last checked, WOR has been dropped without the courtesy of a notice from ACB Radio Mainstream as their programming seems to have been revamped (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7570, Aug 13 at 1243, SMTV via WRMI, S9+10/20 Chinese drama, or is it Cantonese; announcement at 1249 sounds more like Vietnamese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9475 & 5830, Aug 13 at 2211 check, WTWW-1 is AWOL from both possible frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1160, Aug 13 at 0540 UT, now that my local line noise is off, I can tell that KSL SLC is still running IBOC noise, peaking below KSAL around 1147 and above KFAQ about 1173. Nothing further from KSL about its weakened(?) signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1210, Aug 12 at 0625 UT, I`m still trying to reconfirm WJNL, Kingsley MI, 50 kW daytimer cheater, but still suffering from local high line noise level, especially when aimed N/S with KGYN to the west nulled as much as possible -- but I do have a clew, heavy SAH at the rate of 164/minute or 2.73 Hz, close to the rate < 3 Hz previously measured between KGYN and WJNL. 1210, Aug 13 at 0529 UT, in the meantime the noise level has cleared up after some rain --- washing off insulators/contacts on the powerline? Now with KGYN silly sports talk nulled, I hear another talkshow in English; presumably Beyond Reality Radio on WJNL. Again with a SAH of almost 3 Hz, but growing CCI from something in Spanish, talk and music. Strongly suspect the RGV station which can`t be avoided as long as I am nulling KGYN; now the SAH is 160/minute = 2.67 Hz, but seems to be between the two stations other than KGYN. At 0543 the SS breaks to plug some ``worship centers`` in Brownsville and McAllen, so that`s it: KUBR San Juan, U4 10/5 kW, studio address in McAllen (and sibling to the 890 station KVOZ) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1560, Aug 13 at 0545 UT, Vietnamese talk is VG dominating the channel, as KGOW Bellaire/Houston TX must still be on STA allowing bigsig to the north rather than the Gulf of Mexico. Checking this because the night before, Paul Walker in WY tipped that KGOW was relaying VOA: ``At 11 pm each night, they carry 1 hour of programming from the Voice Of America. The first 26 minutes is in Vietnamese followed by some local spots/announcements then they run a VOA program in Japanese. The programs always begin and end with an announcement in English saying "this is the Voice of America" and mentions the language. There are some VOA references during the broadcast and I've heard English language VOA jingles in the broadcast. Paul`` Timezone??? Probably his local MDT = UT -6, but this sure is not Japanese, nor has VOA had a JJ service for decades. A single half hour at 2130 UT, as I recall, lingered a while before VOA decided there was no point in talking to a friendly country even if SWLing was a fad. A check of https://www.voanews.com clicking on ENG to get a language list, confirms Japanese is still not among them even on the web (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 1120, August 12 at 0630 UT, nulling KMOX, fast SAH and another station in English, sounds like local newscast, and fadeout. Maybe KCRN Limon, Colorado? Which Paul Walker says is running 50 kW at night; KMOX is quite dominant here. Would not expect the RCatholic station to be doing regular current-event news of the axual world (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 4775.369, Aug 13 at 0515,, JBA carrier detectable now that the line noise is off, but storming requires indoor longwire; switch to external LW, no better except adds CODAR QRM. I would expect it to be one of the unnecessarily cozy South Americans, Radio Tarma, Perú, or Rádio Congonhas, Brasil --- but I see both of these reported separately lately on the minus side circa 4774.9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 0524 UT August 14

 ** ANGUILLA. 11775, Aug 11 at 1839, PMS is on with poor signal. This corresponds to the websked for Sunday as 16-22 UT; and she was not on at earlier 1423 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9665.421V, Aug 10 at 0630, Voz Missionária in evangelical Brazuguese is audibly wavering as I try to measure it, and it`s the OSOB, consequently also the SSOB! It had varied this much 38 minutes later when Wolfgang Büschel got it: ``9665.571 kHz on upper side flank now Brazilian station sermon heard in central Europe post, at 0708 UT on Aug 10, NOT FIX FREQUENCY, variable 15-20 Hertz moved around up and down`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey Aug 10 at 1325+: 10920, Chinese S4-S6 11120, Chinese JBA 11170, JBA carrier 11540, Chinese S2-S3 11785, Chinese S5-S7 13550, Chinese S4-S5 None further heard up to 15 MHz CNR1 jammer survey, Aug 11 at 1340: JBA carriers on 10960, 11150, no WOOBs further up to 15 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1994 monitoring: confirmed Sat Aug 10 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, upcut about 4 seconds late, missing ``This is Glenn Hauser with World of Radio ---``; good S8-S9 Also confirmed UT Sunday Aug 11 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, very good Also confirmed UT Sunday Aug 11 at 0329 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Wentzville MO, amid quoting Bob Biermann, interrupted for ham ID as required every dekaminute, about 20 minutes into so started early circa 0309; S9+20 readable over storm noise level. NOT confirmed by Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria: ``GERMANY UNID Music program via Hamburger Lokalradio on 7265-CUSB GOH 001 kW, August 11: https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2019/08/unid-mx-px-via-hamburger-lokalradio-on.html 1030-1100 7265 / 230 deg instead of World of Radio #1994 Sunday 1100-1200 7265 / 230 deg Spanish Radio Tropicana as scheduled`` Next: 2130 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to NE 0130 UT Monday WRMI 9395 to NNW, 7780 to NE 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE 0300vUT Monday WBCQ 5130v Area 51 to WSW, 6160v? to WSW 0330 UT Monday WRMI 9955 to SSE 0930 UT Monday Unique Radio 3210-USB NSW [hiatus?] ND 1130 UT Monday Unique Radio 3210-USB NSW [hiatus?] ND 1816 UT Monday IRRS 7290 Romania ND 0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE 0800 UT Tuesday Unique Radio 3210-USB NSW [2 editions; hiatus?] ND 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9395, UT Sun Aug 11 at 0130, I remember to check WRMI for the Mason Vye show which started a week before at 0100-0200, and supposed to be fortnightly; but what would WRMI program alternate weeks interveningly? Suspected would just play back first Vye show, and indeed they do. But first as I tune in, the Radio Tirana IS, as should be heard here like five other days of week; but instead of RT programming, 0131 cut to unID rock music. Poor reception on the ATS-909 by the computer and TVs, but check again at 0142, guy is giving a Canadian postal code ending in 1A0, and a .ca address. 0159, ID for WQNA Springfield, and then the full Ontario address ending with N0N 1A0 fonetikaly; before 0200 switching to Radio Prague IS and English. Mason Vye had notified me earlier: ``New program on WRMI --- I host a music-oriented program on student and community radio stations WQNA Springfield, IL and WTND-LP Macomb, IL and plan to simulcast an hour on WRMI’s 9395 kHz signal beginning Saturday, August 3rd at 2100 ET (0100 UT Sunday) and again in a fortnight on August 17th. My program originates from Alvinston, Ontario, Canada and features a mixture of popular music with emphasis on Canadian artists. North American satellite TVRO listeners may remember me from the defunct W0KIE network. Regards, Mason Vye, Aug 2, WORLD OF RADIO 1994, DX LISTENING DIGEST)`` I missed the first one, but saw him already on the WRMI sked grid with his name as the program title. Too bad this bumps off Radio Tirana, but they never asked to be on WRMI anyway, and are already pre-empted on UT Thursdays for `This Is A Music Show`. Then August 9, he writes me again: ``WQNA FM is ending after 40 years in Springfield, Illinois. The Capital Area Career Center has put the station up for sale due to rising operating costs and declining student enrollment in the Radio-TV program. Until a buyer is found, WQNA will continue to operate with its volunteer staff. Regards, Mason Vye`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 11702-11704, Aug 11 at 1343, intermittent SSB talk sounds like English intonation, but cannot make it resolve by tuning up and down in USB or LSB. Suspect third harmonic from an 80m ham circa 3901, where nothing is audible vs high line noise level; and probably not propagating anyway on the fundamental unlike the harmonic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1950 UT August 11

 ** ANGUILLA [and non]. 11775, Thu Aug 8 at 1351, so-called Caribbean Beacon is on with so-called Pastor Melissa Scott, on so-called University Network. ``Scheduling`` has appeared to be random, scattershot on this and night frequency 6090, but her website does present a schedule, much less than the 24/7 in the good ole DGS era: https://www.pastormelissascott.com/shortwave-schedule.html and this particular log does fit into it; I have added 24-hour UT to her confusing am & pm, for which days of week are also confusing:
``Radio Broadcast Schedule --- Join Pastor Melissa Scott via the Shortwave Broadcast from the Caribbean Beacon. Caribbean Beacon, Anguilla, BWI --- Coordinated Universal Time Sunday 4pm to 10pm Daytime 11.775MHz 16-22 Tuesday 1am to 4am Nighttime 6.090MHz 01-04 Wednesday 1am to 5am Nighttime 6.090MHz 01-05 Wednesday 10am to 1pm Daytime 11.775MHz 10-13 Thursday Noon to 4pm Daytime 11.775MHz 12-16 Friday Midnight to 4am Nighttime 6.090MHz 00-04 Friday 7am to 10am Nighttime 6.090MHz 07-10 Saturday 5pm to 8pm Daytime 11.775MHz 17-20 WWCR Nashville, TN --- Coordinated Universal Time Monday thru Saturday 8pm to Midnight Daytime 13.845MHz 20-24 Sunday 6pm to Midnight Daytime 13.845MHz 18-24 Daily Midnight to 11am Nighttime 5.935MHz 00-11 Pastor Scott's Program Broadcast on Intermountain Public Radio MOUNTAIN TIME. . . [a bunch of FM stations in Wyoming, Idaho]`` BTW, this is not on the Hitlist, altho several other major American gospel huxters can be reached. While searching for her, I came across this unsolicited testimonial for the Hitlist from Gilles Letourneau: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0tQFZ0rFC4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. 10920, Aug 9 at 1348, JBA Chinese, and 10960 JBA carrier; only other CNR1 jammers in survey up to 15 MHz are: 12870, JBA Chinese; 13550, S5-S7 Chinese with heavy flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KUWAIT. 17550, Aug 9 at 2202, JBA carrier from R. Kuwait N American service in Arabic, in over-optimistic propagation expectation. Several previous chex recently has been inaudible, but when it is, by this hour the OSOB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 88.3 WBFM, Aug 9 at 1730 UT, `Thru the Bible`` is starting, today`s reading from the whole thing being Jeremiah 13-16; starts off about men wearing girdles, then skirts and heels! Hee, hee; non-robotic voice keeps a straight face?? Don`t listen to whole thing but retune at 1746 just as wrapping up this segment with Family Radio ID. So our local satellator K202BY is finally back on the air. I first noticed it yesterday, but then and now could have been the non-translator gospel huxter from Wichita with some tropo, and in fact this one has some fades as I drive around. But now I`ve got the FR ID out of California. (BTW, 92.1 KAMG-LP is still silent.) [and non] Fortunately my BST-1 caradio RF feeder on 88.3 still overcomes K202BY when I turn it on at 1818 UT --- as the memory scan soon lands on 13670 for another gospel huxter in English (TWBD), this time all the way from Madagascar World Voice. Aside from the programming, I still think it`s neat to hear this, mobile in faraway Enid. Almost exactly 15.8 megameters, or 9.818 kilomiles statute, 8.532 nautical distant. It has to traverse the whole of the African landmass before exiting from Morocco into the Atlantic. Later in the hour has faded down considerably. We may soon know whether in B-19 HFCC, they reascend to the 17 MHz band. The B19 HFCC/ASBU Coordination Conference will be held from 26 to 30 August 2019 in Argentina (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. Electronic billboard on the NE corner of Garriott & Garland in front of the new JiffyTrip about to open in Enid (which replaced a worm-infested pecan grove; sad!), flashes ``Rush will soon be on Enid FM Radio``, and the same for ``Sean``, August 9. I can`t read it all as I am in motion, but this surely refer to the 100.9 CP translator K265FL [Fully Loony] for KGWA which is already airing their rubbish on AM 960. No, 100.9 is not on quite yet. I cannot hardly wait. This will of course also difficultize if not block reception of 100.7 from Ponca City, and 101.1 from Stillwater & Woodward. KGWA`s original FM sibling, 103.1 KOFM, has been spurring or overloading down to this area too (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. I have been discussing KROU`s new 105.7 transmitter from Spencer/OKC with KGOU+ CE Patrick Roberts, Aug 9: I`m glad you got a new transmitter for KROU; no doubt it was needed, not that it will do us any good in Enid with that translator on 105.5, not to mention Alva on 105.7. But KROU ERP remains only 1.6 kW, right? As per FCC. Is that the legal limit for this facility, or how high could you go if cost did not matter? I just had another look at the panel photo of the new transmitter: https://www.kgou.org/post/new-oklahoma-city-transmitter-improves-sound TPO 30 watts??? That would be the exciter? What is the full TPO? Must be under 1 kW for an ERP of only 1.6 kW --- so hard to imagine (for me not in the business) how the new transmitter of a few hundred watts cost as much as it did, even at a bargain? ``Hi Glenn. The unit with 30w on the display is the exciter, on top. The transmitter is 4600w. Our antenna is effectively a 1 bay (level), four-sided panel at 640 ft. 1600 watts effective radiated power. The new transmitter system is capable of 5000 watts. Thanks. Patrick Roberts`` Patrick, Thanks for explaining. I did not realize that the ERP could be less than the transmitter power -- negative gain apparently with that kind of antenna. Glenn ``No problem. Karen [Holp, former GM] and I bought the panel to give the most consistent coverage we could, squeezing all we could out of the “new site” when we moved to [KFOR tower, virtual channel] 4 $ $ $ $ $ . It really did clean it up. We used to have a 3-bay to this baby panel at the [KAUT virtual channel] 43 tower. It was producing a messy signal, side-mounted on that tower. Yeah... 4.6 in and 1.6 out. At our power level erp-wise, strangely, a “1 bay” lit up is the best option. There’s NO nulls under it in the first several miles like the gain antennas produce. No need for null fill because there are no nulls from multiple bays. No tower shadowing because this beast custom-wraps around the massive 4 tower. At 640 ft, there’s not much more terrain shadowing vs. 300 on the 43 tower which had a ton of it. KFOR was going to charge the same anyway. I took the height :) Negative gain systems are an odd thing in a way, but they are a bit of a legal ability to push the envelop as much as we could. It did extend the reach as a byproduct of raising height too. You know how it goes in pub radio. We get one chance to do it right. Thanks! Patrick Roberts`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 36, Aug 9 at 1505 UT, from OKC, KUOK-CD briefly decodes enough to enable the PSIP ID, then breaks up. Presumably the same Univisión programming as on a subchannel of full-power RF 29 KTUZ Shawnee, which displays as 36. Hepburn tropo map shows level-1 minor tropo enhancement between here and OKC. (Enid is almost always on the margins or beyond tropo areas --- but wait for next Tuesday!). W9WI.com lists 7.33 kW, CP for 15. Anything else unusual? RF 21, KUOT OKC is *much* stronger and in solid with subchannels 1-2-3-4-5, including 3ABN, but KUOT is the PSIP ID on all of them. W9WI.com show it`s 15 kW, really KUOT-CD, without any subchannel info. NOT to be confused, as I almost did with another RF 21 listed for OKC, KTOU, 4 kW with 6 subchannels. There are also Bad signal bars on 20 and 22. In fact rabbitears.info shows KTOU-LD is now on 22 virtually and really, not 21. 20 could be KQCW-DT Muskogee, which seems to be the most-often seen from Tulsa market. Ultimately repacked, the only UHF channels unoccupied in OKC Market #50 will be 17, 20, 28, 34 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TURKEY. 9830, Aug 8 at 2330, oh2, something is on here, poor S6-S8 --- listening closely, jup, it`s in German for another Voice of Turkey overrun instead of turning off NLT 2300 after English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non].

Sounds like me under the HNL on 7780 UT Sat Aug 10 at 0130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 15555-USB, Aug 9 at 1357, gospel huxter is readable in English at S3-S4. WJHR, Milton FL is so rarely audible that it needs to be logged for the record. Is it sporadic on air, or sporadically propagating with its paltry incredible 250 watts, run at 1 kW PEP, per WRTH rather than the legal minimum of 50 kW for FCC-licensed SWBC stations? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. (7490), Aug 10 at 0054, I tune in WBCQ webcast toward the end of `AAAWWW` when he usually gets down to business with info about the Superstation, etc. He`s already talking about it with a caller, so I did not get it all, just: the power supply modules in the modulator keep popping off; it`s a design issue which has been there since installation. When it runs, it runs beautifully. Need spare modules; in fact, NO spare parts have been supplied tho he has been asking for them for months! This manufacturer [Continental] is not like RCA or Gates which used to be eager to help. Nobody cares any more. Also says they have ``lost the prime manufacturer of antenna`` --- what?? Ampegon? I am not sure this be relevant, but searching on Ampegon bankruptcy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transradio Ampegon took over Transradio a couple years ago. Transradio was successor to Telefunken. Allan says he is confident things will work out in the end. But could the superstation become a white elephant? Who would be left holding the bag, World`s Last Chance, or WBCQ? Call from John, the VORW, says he is hearing WBCQ on both 6160 and 9330 now. Just in time for this report, here`s John Carver`s summary: ``Tonight's show started on time on 7490. Allan and Angela in the studio. Allan is feeling used and abused this evening. A rambling dialog trying to illustrate his disgust with things. First phone call at 0015 from Freddie. Mr. Mike calls at 0026 with information of two upcoming hamfests. Allan says they're still having problems getting the antenna adjusted. Says the company has gone bankrupt and they can't get manuals, blueprints, tech information or spare parts. Said it's difficult to program the antenna for all the frequency changes without a manual. He says that there are also problems with the power modules on the new transmitter and the company is dragging its feet getting back to them with information or new parts. Allan blames the problems on everything on the antenna and transmitter being controlled by computers and not having access to programming info. The German company that bought out part of the antenna company will not honor the warranty on the antenna so the station has to pay for any assistance and at the moment they're not getting any assistance. Allan says that 7490 is running on very low power, as something in the transmitter melted about 3 this afternoon and he can't tear into it till tomorrow. Phone call at 0045. Caller says he is an engineer and is working on a new shortwave station and has been affected by the recent bankruptcy and was trying to pump Allan for information about it. He stated that the new station was still in the future and he didn't feel comfortable releasing any information about it. Reading of emails at 0057. Allan also mentioned that they had set another transmitter to broadcast on 9330 and were using it from time to time but no details on when or what. Closing prayer at 0102. Show was off the air at 0108 and 7490 went into Brother Stair in progress. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1160, Aug 9 at 0241 UT, further chex of KSL SLC, which has been unusually weak lately: now it`s sufficient, but a SAH of 156/minute = 2.6 Hz, on the R75; rather different on the DX-398, easily nulling KSL increasing QRM from music, Spanish. At 0317 the QRM is worse, Spanish music overcoming at times. Nothing from UT to compare it with, but 850 KOA Denver is also poor, when it could/should be good. I hear from people at KSL that things seem OK there, running full 50 kW from the Nautel, but they are looking into it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1480, Aug 9 at 1306 UT, ``Good Morning Sunshine`` song is finishing, English named in outro, then W&M light-hearted Vietnamese chat, from KNGO Dallas, ex-KBXD, but I`ve yet to hear the new ID since it changed a few months ago. Initially atop KQAM Wichita, but skywave is dying down less than a sesquihour after sunrise, and soon losing to KQAM English talker by groundwave (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 10365-USB, Aug 8 at 1354, 2-way in colloquial Spanish, very poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report despatched at 0226 UT August 10
