has made them available to the rest of us. Starting with 18-24, they have
been posted as attachments to the WOR iog. He says it takes about an
hour to do this, once each issue is published. Merci, Jacques!

Best DX wishes, Glenn Hauser

** CHINA [and non]. 7575, July 19 at 1306, Chinese vs Chinese, making fast SAH on slightly different frequencies. Seems a channel not occupied before, and EiBi shows nothing; but NDXC/Aoki shows VOA Cantonese via THAILAND this hour only, so now also jammed. Also in HFCC as 54 degrees in Zho. The huge language list at HFCC says Zho merely means Chinese, i.e. which Chinese not specified, while Cantonese in particular is Yue (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 15140, July 18 at 2011, JBA carrier, surely not RHC as scheduled in French, but OMAN which RHC normally obliterates. 11860, however, poorly radiates RHC in Brazuguese to Europe (Carlos will not appreciate that). (Aoki/NDXC totally misses 11860 for RHC!). Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6165, July 19 at 0602, RHC English is S9+10/20 of dead air; 6100 also DA at S9/S9+10; 6060 DA of S9+10/20; only 6000, S9+10/20, succeeds in modulating, but it`s somewhat suptorted. 5040 is off as it is supposed to be after 0600; 5025, R. Rebelde is also dead air at 0605. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6099.239, July 19 at 1239, RHC is way off-frequency again, making big het with presumed CRI in Russian, about equal level on 6100.0. Careful LSB and PBT can get rid of the het. CRI is gone after 1300. 6060 RHC is NOT on, contrary to 11-14 on sked. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 6000 is on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9885, July 19 at 1311, fair in Korean talk, song, S8-S5. Not in HFCC, but Ivo Ivanov reported:

``TAJIKISTAN. National Unity Radio via Dushanbe, July 12
http://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2018/07/reception-of-national-unity-radio-via.html
1200-1500 on 9885 DB 100 kW / 071 deg to NEAs Korean, fair``

NDXC/Aoki agrees. Not in HFCC as of July 6. However, EiBi says this is coming from Paochung, TAIWAN site, which seems more likely for my reception. Which is it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9900, July 19 at 1312, S4-S5 JBM, language? HFCC: ``9900 1300 1330 44NE TAI 300 352 0 145 1234567 250318 281018 D 9000 Kor CHN BAB BAB 351`` which is not very informative.
NDXC/Aoki says it`s Nippon no Kaze via Paochung, TAIWAN. EiBi says same via Taiwan-s site, which means
s-Danshui/Tanshui/Tamsui (Taipei province) 25N11-121E25; rather than:
p-Paochung/Baujong (Yunlin province) PAO/BAJ 23N43-120E18. Which is it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 15450.046, July 19 at 1320, VOT, VP with music at tail of 1230 English to Europe and also USward but which has never been listenable here this A-season; and characteristically off-frequency+plus from Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1939 monitoring: a double-bust Wednesday July 18 at 2100: 9955 WRMI from *2057:45 not with IS & ID loop, boding ill, but JIP some African music, 2059 another; then Radio Africa Network ID for 21525! (which is now off, heard earlier). Proceeds with a gospel huxter at hisperfectwill.org for at least the rest of the semihour. Wrong feed plugged into 9955 transmitter. WRMI webcast however is running WOR 1939, but it`s out of whack again with very distorted sound.

WOR simultaneously scheduled Wednesday July 18 at 2100 on 7490v WBCQ, JBA carrier, but checking webcast, it`s a replay of last week`s 1938! I wonder if these happened also last Wednesday when I was out, missed checking either? I must keep constant track of what is really happening with scheduled WOR times. I notify WBCQ boardops and they successfully air new WOR 1939 at 2330 UT Wednesday July 18 on good 9330.075, temporarily cutting away from Brother Scare. Next:

** U S A. 5130.267v, July 19 at 0606, WBCQ BS way up here instead of usual offset to the minus side circa 5129.83v. // 9330.152v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9265, July 18 at 2012, WINB is VP S6-S7 in Spanish. Sked effective July 8 shows weekday sign-on is now *2000, only Wednesdays in Spanish, `A Look at the Book` = not rhyming in Spanish, ``Mirada al Libro``? Another semihour in Spanish ensues at 2100-2130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 476 kHz, approx., July 19 around 0610, JBA CW marker from a WA4- call --- this is amid the new ``630 meter ham band``, 472-479 kHz. Something about it:
http://www.arrl.org/news/new-630-meter-band-reported-very-busy
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11850, July 19 at 1315, S9-S7 open carrier, dead air. Nothing scheduled now; used to be an RVA frequency for Vietnamese from 1330. Not Cuba, since 11840 source of parasites is not on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report despatched at 1745 UT July 19

** CUBA. 6165, July 18 at 0557, this RHC English is off; 6100 is poor and undermodulated; 6060 is VG; 6000 JBM; 5040 fair but storm noise worse down here. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

6000, July 18 at 1339, RHC Spanish still on here, but 13740 is AWOL. Something`s always wrong at RHC. I have another look at the official sked effective April 8, and see the following morning usage, contrary to what I thought, 6000 until 1300:

6000, 12-14, to N/C/SAm, so presumably non-direxional
6060, 11-14, to New York (? But don`t think I have been hearing it)
6100, 11-13, to Chicago (misplaced under Mesa Redonda at bottom)
13700, 13-15, to San Francisco
13740, 11-14, to Buenos Aires
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUATEMALA. 4055, July 18 at 1055, Radio Truth, TGAV with amateur singing ``City of Gold`` hymn in English, then religious chat in English; fairly good signal before our sunrises. Haven`t heard a word for months about magical worldwide relays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 660, July 18 at 1107 UT, partial full ID is dominant over Dallas or Omaha, but with heavy SAH, ``---Z, ABC Noticias, Monterrey, Nuevo LeÃn``. It`s XEFZ, 10/1 kW. Not often heard, rather usually 50/10 kW XEEY Aguascalientes2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 530, July 18 at 1600 UT, ``K530AM`` Vance AFB is off the air again, and may have been for a few days now (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1939 monitoring: confirmed first airing this week, Wednesday July 18 at 1030 on WRMI 5950, S9+10 fair when I awaken at 1054. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5950, July 18 at 1102, WRMI with RAE in Brazuguese, // 9955. Has this one been chopped to 30 minutes like English? Unknown yet. Websked still shows one hour. Transmission grid shows System B on both 5950 and 9955 at 1100-1400, and also at 1400-1500 on 5950. But program skedgrid for System B below it contradicts, only 9955 at 11-14. (But brief 5950-only segments at 14-15 and 0430-0500 --- what`s on then? Unshown).

9955, Wednesday July 18 at 1329:30, the WRMI ID recorded by me, which used to air at 1315:00 preceding WORLD OF RADIO at 1315:30, canceled some months ago. 1330, `FG Radio`, opening in German, into a reading in English about English history (rather than news centred on Cyprus), 1342 closing in French and AÃda fill theme.

9955, Wednesday July 18 at 1345, `Viva Miami`, Jeff begins with some frequency notices: 9455 has been reactivated at 00-04 UT Thursdays only (doesn`t say why or with what, but we know); 11580 is *temporarily* back Saturdays at 2100-2300 (ditto, but it was gone again July 14 per Ivo Ivanov); 9395 has a problem with RTTY QRM. Since 9395 is officially ``out of band``, WRMI may have to move, up or down a bit, or replace with 9455. Says the QRM is worse around the east coast than Midwest. Then on to mailbag acknowledging reception reports. I suspect this episode is already a few weeks old.

I first reported RTTY QRM on the plus side of 9395 months ago. And I hear it again right away, July 18 at 1431 vs Brother Scare. RTTY is never overpowering the Overcomer, but annoying. I measure two carrier zero-beats at 9396.5 and 9397.5.

9955, is *still* on the air Wed July 18 at 1431 with World Music fill; supposedly gets extended past 1400 only on Saturdays. But same System B supposedly runs on 5950 until 1500, daily? Unheard/unchecked now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505v, July 18 at 0554, WRNO with fake `TruNews` instead of gospel huxtering in English or Chinese. It sure seems like their programming ``schedule`` is generated at random (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 1620 UT July 18

** CUBA. 5040, July 17 at 0549, RHC in wrong language, Spanish instead of English, S9+10 and undermodulated. English remains on 6000, suptorted and undermodulated, 6060 undermodulated; 6100 very poor signal; 6165, best and really the only good frequency now: something`s always wrong at RHC, but Âviva la redundancia! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 88.7, July 16 at 1959 UT, KLVV Ponca City I happen to catch an ID asserting My Praise FM is also now on HD2 of KTST 101.9 The Twister, OKC. Strange bedfellows with a very commercial secular country station. At least I think it is: I never intentionally listen to either. The WTFDA FM Database does not include HD station info, beyond the fact that KTST does have something in HD = IBOC. So besides its other three relays in Enid, Goltry=Enid and Stillwater, KLVV sort of makes it into a sort of major market (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1938 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday July 17 after 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG. I`m a bit late in recording WOR 1939, so it`s not ready for Tuesday 2030, 2130 or 2330 â but little loss, since I have been unable to hear/confirm WRMI 5950 and/or 7780 during the first two, and WBCQ keeps on BSing at 2330. Ready for first airings July 18:

** U S A. 92.7, July 16 at 1758 UT, during another futile bandscan on caradio for sporadic E FM DX which is supposedly rampant around us, I check out this too-steady signal near hourtop: ``92.7 The ---, The Rhythm of River City``. River City is hardly an unique appellation, but I bet this one is nearby Wichita KS --- yes, almost correlates with this in WFTDA FM Database: ``KWME 92.7 WELLINGTON KS, 14 kW H&V, 130 m HAAT, 37-20-08, 97-27-53, 4B54, KWME, Oldies, RHYTHMIC OLDIES THE BLAST`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
