** CHINA. 13550, July 17 at 1357, Chinese talk and music at S6-S8, no
doubt a CNR1 jammer, to timesignal and off 1400*. I started too late
today for a full bandscan, as many more also close at 1400. Strangely,
13550 is not among the 146 *jammed SOH listings in Aoki/NDXC. But EiBi
has both of them possible until 1430, with SOH on 13550.1. Wolfgang
Bueschel`s exhaustive bandscan as of July 5-12 includes SOH (only):
``13550.053 S=3 0504 UT 2130-1430 SOH Xi Wang Zhi Sheng Chi 1-7``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13739.241, July 17 at 1400, RHC self-knocked way off
frequency again, // 13700.0 which is somewhat weaker and both still on
the air. One of them is usually off by now. EiBi shows 13700 is Bauta,
13740 Bejucal, both until 1400. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non?]. 1600, July 17 at 1321, KUSH Cushing local
talkshow with ripple --- either CCI from an unstable transmitter or
its own? Vietnamese from KRVA The Metroplex seems in background and
would be the obvious spoiler, via high-end residual skywave almost a
bihour after LSR; but never noticed any such problem from them before;
recheck at 1354, now KUSH is clear. Other close 1600s are in AR, MO,
KS and NE (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17530, July 16 at 1404, S9 open carrier, off and back on
again; obviously VOA Grimesland in routine early check long before
scheduled only English broadcast at 1700-1830; BTW, if they did this
before 1400 anyday, would conflict with VOA Somali via Vatican; or
after 1400 Sat/Sun VOA Kinyarwanda via São Tomé, per HFCC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also VATICAN [non]

** U S A. 9330.00, July 16 at 0109, WBCQ-6 with WLC Radio is OFF ---
and not heard since as of 1605 UT July 17. Artie Bigley forwards twit
from Allan Weiner July 16: ``Worlds superstation off line TFN while we
tune up to higher frequencies and make improvements to the great
antenna.``. Nor have we noticed any reversions to Brother Scare on the
old 9330.1v transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, July 16 at 1404, KVOH already S9+10, opening Spanish,
probably with sporadic-E boost (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 15825, July 16 at 1404, WWCR S9+20 thanks to sporadic E
boost, so much so that it audiblizes a squeal on the #1 transmitter
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1210, July 17 at 0559 UT, WJNL Kingsley MI among
multi-station ID of the group, so fast I have never been able to copy
details, and 0600 ``news now``; top among CCI with more than one SAH,
but primarily timed at 152/minute = 2.53 Hz. The 50 kW daytimer
continues cheating all night. Now another report of this at the very
same time July 17 from Steve Zimmerman, Milwaukee WI, to the WOR io
group:

``Hi All, Per Glenn Hauser's tip, I am hearing WJNL with city-grade
sigs on peaks, but some deep fades as well. Tune-in at 0550 with a
blizzard of commercials, followed by a show engaging conspiracy
theories, then multiple IDs for MI stations on AM and FM. ToH news at
0600.

In spite of the fact that they run 50 kW ND, they are very difficult
to hear here on daytime groundwave, even though the path is mostly
over Lake Michigan. Ground conductivity in that part of MI is poor at
best, so maybe that has something to do with it. Rx: ICF-5900W and
built-in antenna. 73, Steve Zimmerman, Milwaukee, WI`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 88.1 WBFM, July 16 at 1342 UT, `Stardate` via KWOU Woodward
concludes with Sandy Wood saying this is her last show! She is
retiring due to health problems. We`ll miss her very much; these
2-minute capsules she always filled with a sense of wonder, whether
elementary astronomy or something intriguingly deeper. She must be
older than she sounds with her lovely voice.

I`ve always felt the Stardate website did not give enough credit to
Sandy; in fact searching on site, this is about all we can find:
https://stardate.org/astro-guide/gallery/celebrating-sandiys

``Celebrating the Sandi/ys Featured on July 4, 2016

Two key players in the StarDate and McDonald Observatory public
outreach programs are celebrating milestones in July. Sandy Wood
(left) is commemorating her 25th anniversary as the voice of StarDate
radio. Her first recording session was on July 23, 1991. And Sandi
Preston is retiring from McDonald Observatory on July 4. She is the
Observatory's assistant director for education and outreach, and
executive producer of StarDate radio.``

We heard her successor July 17 at 1458 on KUCO:

``The New Voice of StarDate
https://stardate.org/content/new-voice-stardate

Billy Henry in the studio while recording his first StarDate episodes.
Billy Henry, a voice talent, musician, composer, and college lecturer
in Austin, will become the third narrator of the StarDate radio
program in its 41-year history. He assumes the title from Sandy Wood,
who retired from the program effective July 16. Henry’s first program
will air the following day.

“I feel extremely privileged to be a part of the StarDate team,” says
Henry. “I’ve been listening for years and now I get to be the voice.
What a great experience.”

“I’ve had the privilege to work with the first two StarDate
announcers, Joel Block and Sandy Wood, and I know that Billy will
maintain the high standards these great talents have established for
the show,” says StarDate producer Damond Benningfield. “Billy and I
have worked together before, so I knew he would be a really good fit
for our style and content. I’m looking forward to many years of
working together.”

Henry is involved in many creative fields. He is a lecturer at Texas
State University in San Marcos, teaching classes in writing music for
TV and film, mixing for TV and film, and an introduction to desktop
production. He has also taught at The University of Texas at Austin,
and done sound design and other creative projects for the theater
department.

Henry has written or mixed hundreds of pieces of music for commercial
clients ranging from Chili’s to AT&T to Southwest Airlines. In 1999,
he wrote the score for the film “American Detective,” and in recent
years he has joined the world tours of The Court Yard Hounds, Shakira,
and the Dixie Chicks.

Henry also describes himself as a “maker of things,” including musical
instruments. He also has a pilot’s license and is working toward his
commercial rating.
Greetings from Billy Henry [41-second clip]``

Around here we get Stardate M-F only at 1342 UT on KGOU and relays; if
we miss that as KWOU 88.1 relay propagation from Woodward is sporadic,
via KUCO 90.1 at 1458 UT; and if we miss that, repeated on KUCO at
2358 UT. I gather there are also editions on Sat & Sun not scheduled
by our stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN [non]. 7305, July 16 at 0127, Vatican Radio IS, 0130
opening Spanish. In a surprise move, VR relay via IBB Grimesland NC
has re-expanded back to 30 minutes, after many months curtailed to
only 15 starting at 0145 (but carrier usually on at least 10 minutes
earlier), and also adding Portuguese at 0100, which I have just missed
today; per HFCC effective 15 July, both daily 250 kW at 164 degrees

Best DX wishes, Glenn Hauser

** CUBA. 11950, July 15 at 2201, RHC on early, undermodulated S9+10,
seems like live speech by some Commie, apparently a `Mesa Redonda`
special event an hour earlier than usual, since not // 11760 et al.,
and 6000 JBA also seems same as 11950. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 7379.241, July 15 at 2222, RHC French auto-knocked way off
frequency from 7380, S9+10; as happens sporadically here or below
15370 or 13740, presumably same transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7254.94, July 15 at 0551, VON with a ballad in English,
``I`m not afraid ---`` something, segment repeating at 0554, 0556
after pauses; 0557.5 cut to usual drumming and flutish IS, S9+20/30
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1230, July 15 at 0038 UT, Oh2, WBBZ Ponca City must
be off again, no strong signal this long before sunset; or is that its
carrier now with growing graveyard skywave? Yes, it is! Legal ID at
ToH 0100 then back to dead air.

Meanwhile I have been walking around the block with the PL-880 on this
frequency trying to track source of high line noise level. It`s
slightly CCW from N/S with a sharp null (which should be occupied by
WBBZ), and little change from different sides, signifying it`s
radiating from some distance away.

1230, WBBZ is back in business, S9+20 by 2225 check July 15 with rock
music, ``Sunny 1230`` slogan. At least not ``Sunny 104.7`` this time
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1990 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
July 14 at 2130 on WRMI 7780, JBA vs noise level

Also confirmed UT Monday July 15 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, S9+10 vs noise,
and much better VG S9+20 on synchronized 9395

Also confirmed UT Monday July 15 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, poor vs noise

Also confirmed UT Monday July 15 at 0300 on Area 51 webcast, and at
0326 check modulating on WBCQ 5130.37 poor S9+10 vs noise level

Also confirmed UT Monday July 15 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, VG S9+10/20

** U S A. 7570, July 15 at 0019, WRMI-11 is off again, despite
schedule as 23-04 UT; no loss with nothing but BS. Still going on
7730, 7780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 2343 UT July 15

** CHINA. 11540, July 14 at 1318, CNR1 jammer, as almost always. Vs
RFA Tibetan via Kuwait

12190, July 14 at 1319, CNR1 jammer at S5-S9. Vs Sound of Hope

12820, July 14 at 1320, CNR1 jammer at S5-S9. Vs Sound of Hope

13640, July 14 at 1321, CNR1 jammer at S4-S8. Vs Sound of Hope

14640, July 14 at 1342, JBA music, probably CNR1 jammer vs SOH

14900, July 14 at 1343, JBA music, Chinese talk, CNR1 jammer vs SOH
relaying RFA; all per Aoki/NDXC.

11785, July 14 at 1323, CNR1 jammer, but mixed with Firedragon, as I
was using this one to check // with the others. Vs VOA Chinese via
Philippines (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15120, July 14 at 0052, CRI Spanish relay is S9+10, much
stronger than // 5990, but 15120 is JBM, at least not crackling today.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, 9535, 9570, 9640, 15230, July 14 at 1315, all these
RHC/CRI frequencies are missing; while RHC is still running on 11760,
13700, 13740, 15140. Something`s always wrong at RHC/RadioCuba ---
maybe correlates with one of the transmitter sites offline. Quite a
different selexion from 24 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 17560, July 14 at 1345, `Auld Lang Syne` and
announcement in French, i.e. CRI via Kashgar where Uighurs are being
brainwashed. Strongest signal on band amid very few others (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-USB, July 14 at 0035, pirate music, torchsong,
S9+20 but about = the high local noise level; in sporadic chex, no ID
caught, still 0100+. These say Wolverine Radio, keyword ``nothing``
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,55968.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6879-USB, July 14 at 0037, piratemusic on odd
frequency, slightly weaker S9 than 6950, and thus even worse vs noise
level. These reports say Mix Radio International, earlier on 6876,
6877, 6878:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,55969.0.html

At 0057 I find it has shifted to 6881-USB, but stops without
announcement at 0100:25*; more reports including when on 6881:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 88.3, WBFM, July 13 at 1902 UT, K202BY, Enid Family Radio
satellator which has been open carrier for months (altho it got an STA
to be ``off the air``), is now really totally off the air; in fact
first noticed a couple days ago. Thus opens up a good Es FM DX
channel, if the MUF will ever get up there! There are weak marginal
signals from KOSR Stillwater, the local low-power fill-in when major
KOSU 91.7 moved much closer to OKC; and some gospel huxter which I am
concentrating on IDing. It fades way up and down but tropospherically
over unstable hot path, rather than ionospherically. Bible reading is
in progress, finally outro 1910 as Psalms 81-87, to be resumed
tomorrow at 88 (only 10 minutes a day??), on ``Bible Broadcasting
Network``, and into hymnstring. That clinches it as the station I
suspected, next nearest from Wichita KS, KYFW, 17/17 kW, only 43m
height, and with BBN as in WTFDA database.

89.1, Oasis Enid translator is still blocking a much more desirable
Wichitan, KMUW public radio. 92.1, KAMG-LP Enid is still on with dead
air after one day of modulation in May to prove it wasn`t totally
dead. 88.3 free of K202BY also facilitates using 88.3 as RF feeder
frequency for SW radio in the car or even home (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. 407 kHz, July 14 at 0545, ND beacon HRU, which is 25 watts
from Herington KS. Noise level has lowered enough to get a bit;
nearest lightning areas are in NM and off the LA coast. Also have
Okies 255, SW, 25 watts Stillwater, tuned to 253; and even 341, EI, 25
watts Enid. Once I can hear again any Y-beacon from Canada, I`ll know
we`re back in season (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1990 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
July 13 at 2100 on WRMI, 9955, fair S6-S8.

Also confirmed UT Sunday July 14 at 0130 on WRMI, 5850, good. As
sunset earlies, expect this one gradually to improve westward.

Also confirmed UT Sunday July 14 at 0342 midpoint via WA0RCR, 1860-AM,
MO, S9 to +10 vs high local noise level of S9; so started circa 0328,
must have been right after I first checked, hearing another.

None of the three Hamburger LokalRXadio airings confirmed yet. Next:

** U S A. 9330.00, July 14 at 0343 tune-in, WBCQ-6 in S9+20/30 dead
air, then hits WLC IS loop but brief cutoff at 0344:42. Must be having
problems rather than apocalypting at this hourpart. By 0600 recheck
only a JBA carrier, propagation dropout? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, UT Sun July 14 at 0041, WRMI-10 playing ME music, from
the World Music stash? Not what one would expect during ``Buscando la
Verdad`` scheduled now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5970, July 14 at 0555, WEWN with S9 of Spanish dead air
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1210, July 14 at 0459 UT, quick check immediately finds
mention of Traverse City, as WJNL 50 kW daytimer continues cheating
since at least June 24. QRM from more than one station KGYN, maybe
WPHT and/or KUBR; predominant SAH count now is 138/minute = 2.3 Hz
rather than 3+ Hz with KGYN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
