Subject: [HCDX] Wed Eve/Thurs DX

Bolivia, 4716.75, Radio Yura, 2354-0010,  Noted a man talking in Spanish.
Although the station is still on after the top of the hour, it doesn’t maintain it’s prious level.   It’s quality continous to decline from a poor to threshold. (Chuck Bolland, April 29, 2010)

Guyana, 3289.98, Voice of Guyana, 0933-0945,  I have a buzzing noise on the band that reaches from 3250 to about 3410, and it is very loud.  consequently, any stations located within that spectrum, suffers from the buzz noise.  Anyone else hear it? I could still hear Vo Guyana with difficulty presenting music and English comments from a male.  Signal would have been good if it weren’t for the buzz, but it was just poor.  (Chuck Bolland, April 30. 2010)

Surinmae, 4989.98, Radio Apintie, 0945-1000, Can hear two individuals in comments.  Believe the language is Dutch, can’t be sure.   Tried to pull out more details using the following receivers:
WinRadio, WJ HF1000, and the NRD545 all on the same antenna.  The NRD545 did a better job
allowing the signal to be heard almost at 100 percent, but it was still poor. At 0954 canned promos heard.   (Chuck Bolland, April 30, 2010)

Indonesia, 9525.87, Voice of Indonesia, 1001-1015, At tune in, noted a female in Engllish language
news.  ”This news comes to you from the Voice of Indonesia in Jakarta”.  More news and features.  Signal was good this morning.  (Chuck Bolland, April 30, 2010)

Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs April 29-30, 2010

** ALGERIA [non]. 7295, RTA via FRANCE, April 30 at 0600 from music to 5+1 timesignal 8 seconds late, then sounder and Arabic talk, perhaps news. As noted last time, from May 2 this frequency should be going off at 0600 instead of 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANTARCTICA [and non]. 15476, LRA36 continues to be audible every weekday morning. April 30 at 1257 with pop music, better signal than usual, past 1300. Seems they never do an ID or any announcement at this hourtop. Retune at 1312 just in time to hear an OM say “Transmite LRA36“ but rest of ID lost in fade; then into YL speaking Spanish. They usually have a talk segment around this time. But at next2 check 1323 already back in music. At 1349 still holding up in romantic music, signal ranging from S2 to peaks at S8, but by 1353 getting too weak. Meanwhile, the ACI from Woofferton 15480 dropped at 1329 when Poland`s Russian broadcast ended, shortly back on for Belarussian, but weaker despite beam switch of only 5 degrees. By 1358 this had built up to be problematic for the Archangel (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. CRI advance publicity said it would be broadcasting live coverage in English of the opening of Shanghai Expo, April 30 at 12-14 UT. So I look around for it at 1225. Unfortunately, there are no English relays via Canada or Cuba during this hour.

At 1227 I do find 11825 with an official speaking in English about how great the Expo will be for the world at large, and then he says some more words in Chinese, presumably consecutively translating himself.

Thank god for CNR1 jammers, of which 11825 is one, vs VOA Chinese via Philippines, itself inaudible. // 11785 and many other frequencies. At 1234 played a bit of Blue Danube, rather incongruous on the Huangpu.

Surely the Expo special will be on the 1300 English relays? No, at 1305, 9650 via Canada is in ordinary China Drive program from Beijing! With heavy QRM from RNW in Dutch via Philippines. And so is // 9570 via Cuba, with usual defective modulation. Talking about irrelevant weather in Beijing alternating English and Chinese. So much for that.

Also, 11805 has an open carrier at 1229 so I stand by for what`s next: at 1230 sharp, CNR1 echo jamming starts at exactly the same time as VOA Chinese starts, scheduled oddly from the half-hour via Thailand. Here both are audible, but the jamming atop, of course. At least this is // 11825 et al., with the Shanghai special (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake April 30: 15730, fair at 1315, aside Sweden 15735, but what`s to jam on 15730? Today`s edition of Aoki does not show anything, except Sound of Hope on 15750 varies 15700-15795, so probably jumped here today, altho supposedly in a break at 13-14 between Tajikistan and Uzbekistan sites.
13100, fair at 1310
12600, good at 1310
10440, good at 1318 with het from something, ute?
10300, poor at 1318, much weaker than 10440, why?
Not found anywhere else 8-19 MHz, not even 8400 at 1323. Former regular spot 9000 has not been heard for several weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. Checking DCJC behavior against WRMI 9955: monitoring from 2057 April 29 hearing nothing, but first jampulsing starts at 2058.5 and more pile on quickly to make wall of noise inaudiblizing any trace of WRMI, scheduled to broadcast WORLD OF RADIO at 2100 on Thursdays. Thanks a lot, Arnie, my friend in Habana! What a crock (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUYANA. Making progress DXing reactivated GBC: last time no carrier at all, but April 30 at 0548 I do detect a carrier on 3290, weaker than the RTTY on 3287; and far too much T-storm static from Kansas to pull anything thru it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 15540, R. Kuwait in English this Thursday instead of Arabic last Thursday: April 29 at 2050 going from rock music to final news summary, starting with red shirts in Thailand. I don`t think there was a single item about Kuwait; are there any at 1830? 2053.7 back to music, YL song about love (is this allowed by Islam?). 2058 segu? to another song but fade it down by 2058.5 for standard sign-off once again giving wrong frequency 11990, and imaginary 15110 for English at 05-08. 2059.4 brief NA by military band. 2100 accurate 5+1 timesignal, Y L Arabic ID, news fanfare and news, this time staying on until 2106.6*. Signal was fair with deep fades (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6045, looking for reactivated XEXQ at 0550 April 30: there are two very weak carriers on slightly different frequencies, and we know SLP is axually on 6044.93 or so. At 1218 audible with classical music but too much T-storm and line noise. Juli?n Santiago D?ez de Bonilla says they finally got needed replacement part from the transmitter manufacturer in Chile (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA. 15510, April 30 at 1357, “Love Story“ snippet of music again today like April 27, then Dari announcement. Must be a regular program theme. And this time no modulation cutouts from VOR service to Afghanistan via Krasnodar, per Aoki, Samara per EiBi and HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9980, WWCR-4 again with Pastor Pete Peters, Friday April 30 at 1224, proffering instruxions on how to get him on public access TV, where “they play us for nothing!“. Unsolid signal compared to huge strength of // WTWW 9479. But after 1300, 9980 also reached overload level. WWCR program guide still hasn`t been updated to show his true hours instead of temp fill programming on WWCR-4; I suppose it will be in early May. SFAW website, is it up to date? Leaves UTC field blank but default time seems to be CDT = UT -5 to which we have added UT:

WWCR SFAW Broadcast Schedule:
7 days a week 9:00PM-10:00PM 5890  0200-0300
Mon-Sat       7:00AM-10:00AM 9980  1200-1500
7 days a week 7:00PM- 9:00PM 9980  0000-0200
Sunday Only  11:00AM- 2:00PM 9980  1600-1900
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN [non]. Confirmed the Chinese broadcast from somewhere on 12035, splashed by Cuba 12030, April 29 at 2241 with ID, sacred choral music, 2242-2245* VR IS. Did NOT conclude with “This is the Voice of America, Washington DC, signing off“ but presumably IBB TINIAN as scheduled in collusion with the RCC to the exclusion of any other religious broadcaster (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VENEZUELA [non]. The Bolivarians continue to get screwed by the Cubans, not getting their money`s worth due to defective transmitters employed for RNV relays. 11705, April 30 at 1245 check and later, horrible crackling modulation. But it`s good enough for communist government work (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Subject: [HCDX] Long winded series on radio listening… online

With the passing of the classic book “Passport to World Band Radio” it occurred to me that there is a void and a potential niche online – a series on Radio Listening… from the ground up… a “Radio Hobby for Dummies” if you would… — although I cannot use that title obviously.

I envisioned a series of web pages and articles dedicated to recruiting new hobbyists and energizing the existing ones. I imagine creating this on DXer.ca and then upon its completion being mirrored on a variety of similar websites hosted by other hobbyists. That way the project does not die or get locked down with the loss of the author or its participants.

It’s going to be a very long and long winded set of distinct web pages (or chapters) and have every facet of the radio listening hobby from AM (MW) Dxing, chasing domestics, ULR listening,  collecting, SW, Utilities, Ham, Antennas, accessories, etc. Everything. Nothing left out.

Not only will there be pages and pages of useful information in one spot but also a series of Podcasts and even video tutorials.

I might be a tad out of my mind because in some ways, this has already been done – there are web pages dedicated to virtually every aspect of the hobby – scattered over the internet. Some sites even have pages of links to all of these sites. The downside of this is that various sites come and go – and what better plan than to have everything under one roof where everyone can access it.

Losing the Passport book, for me, (and I imagine most hobbyists) has been a big deal. It left a massive hole in the library of already limited resources for radio hobbyists. This is one small way of filling in that gap.

I hope also to have some participation on this project from a variety of hobbyists who are specialists in their own area – Like I said, I do not wish to leave anything out.

I would also like to dedicate this project to John Bryant whose departure still hurts, whose contribution to the hobby could never be accurately measured and whose unexpected demise fundamentally changes, in some small way, the way be all see and appreciate the radio hobby.

The first “chapter” is here – http://www.dxer.ca/latest/81-world-radio-101-the-basics-of-world-band-radio please follow the links to the next 2 chapters and comment (positive and negative welcome…)

Subject: [HCDX] SAT MORN DX

Russia, 5940, Radio Rossii, 0950-1005,   A few comments in Russian from a male, then into music which seemed to be semi-classical.  Lots of splatter from WWCR pm 5935 KHz.  The music lasts until 0957 when a male returns with more comments then a female talks. Rossii is at a poor level this morning.  (Chuck
Bolland, May 1, 2010)

Philippines, 9615, Radio Veritas, 1000-1010,  Caught the tail end of the ID in English on the hour as, “… Veritas in Mandarin”.  This was followed by a program of news and comments in Mandarin language by female and male.  Signal was very Good.  (Chuck Bolland, May 1, 2010)

Indonesia, 9680, RRI Jakarta, 1002-1015,  At tune in, noted local type music.  It sounded like a novelty tune in Indonesian, with laughing and humor.  After the one tune, a male talks with another on the telephone.  Signal was very good this morning.  (Chuck Bolland, May 1, 2010)

Indonesia, 9526.87, Voice of Indonesia, 1007-1010, Stopped on this freq to check on VoI, and found just a carrier.  No audio was heard.   This time slot is suppose to be the English program.  At 1009, the program pops up with a lady in English news about Indonesian politics.  The signal was very good this morning.
(Chuck Bolland, May 1, 2010)

Unident, 6174.39, 1105-1115,  this is a carrier just south of CNR1’s frequency on 6175 KHz. I am thinking it might be Voice of Malaysa, but I can’t pull out any audio.   Any help would be appreciated.  (Chuck Bolland, May 1, 2010)

WinRadio G305e/pd
26.27N 081.05W

Bolivia, 5952.41, Emisoras Pio XII, (pres), 1020-1035, It took me awhile to tune this in due to the heavy QRM around this freq, but noted male talking in Spanish language while others comments along with him.   This signal was poor but surprisingly audible since I couldn’t hear any other Bolivians during this time frame.

Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs April 30-May 1, 2010

** ALBANIA. 13640, R. Tirana, April 30 at 2012 in English, S9+15 during music, then “Albanian Outstanding Personalities Profile“, trouble is I couldn`t catch his name, a “humanist“ and Catholic priest in 1474. Maybe they mean humanitarian? After a few minutes, rest of transmission was music until 2027 goodbye, theme and cut off air before it could finish.

Later, from DW news May 1 at 0615 on 7325 via Portugal, I learned that this was a big day in Tirana, a demonstration by 200,000 supporters of the Socialist opposition against the validity of last June`s elexion. I sure wish I had heard how R. Tirana itself covered that in the first 12 minutes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANTARCTICA. Since I had heard LRA36 virtually every weekday for two weeks, checked Saturday May 1 just in case, but not even a carrier on 15476 or a 4-kHz het with 15480, around 1330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake May 1:
10240, good at 1320, unusual frequency
10440, equally good at 1320
12600, fair at 1326
12960, good at 1326, not on 12970 or 12950 today
13970, good at 1326
None others found 8-19 MHz.

However, checking 15540 at 1332 I hear weak CNR1 jamming // much stronger 15285 and 15265; nothing else audible on 15540, so I wonder if V. of Tibet`s expanded broadcast is really contracted now out of this timeslot. But unlike the DentroCubans, the ChiCom are pretty astute at avoiding jamming against nothing, even if we can`t hear the victim.

And at 1434 I find a poor and fluttery CNR1 on 17560 // 15285. This is to jam V. of Tibet due northeast from MADAGASCAR at 1400-1430, unheard. As of today this VOT broadcast is at 1400-1430 only, ex 1330-1430 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CYPRUS. Over-the-horizon radar pulses covering 25 kHz, presumed from here, May 1 at 1329, poor on 14555-14580 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, M singer ululating May 1 at 0450, surely must be V. of Mesopotamia via Mykolayiv, UKRAINE; and no WYFR QRM. Then checking its latest sked, I see I lucked into a gap between the 0400-0445 Portuguese broadcast and French from 0500 on 11530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 15540, R. Kuwait in English, Friday April 30: at 1933 UT “This Day in History“, detailed features on Casey Jones, end of Vietnam War, then a bunch of short items: 1770, David Thompson born, something to do with Canada. 1803, Louisiana Purchase. 1870 Leh?r born. 1948 first Land Rover exhibited. 1957 Egypt reopens Suez Canal. 1993 Balanchine becomes director of NYC Ballet. This lasted until 1942 UT, co-narrated by Paul Kennedy and a YL, probably Arab whose name I couldn`t catch. Was there anything about Kuwait? If so, I missed it.

RK puts more effort into its TDIH than VOA or VOI, 2 or 3 minutes each. Is this on daily at 1930? Skipping any day is surely out of the question. However, this also means less attention necessary to current events. Doing a decent job of covering breaking news is best left to SW broadcasters on the level of VOA, DW and BBC.

Reception usually holds up till sign-off 2100v* but at next check today at 2052 had become JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** LAOS [non]. 11785 via WHRI, Hmong World Christian Radio, May 1 at 1324 with traditional music but messed up by talkover, plus heavy CCI from Chinese radio war. HWCR is Saturdays only at 1300-1330.

BTW, I still check occasionally for V. of Biafra International via WHRI during its last-known transmission which vanished in December, Friday 19-20 on 15665, including April 30, and so far have not found any surprise comeback. Have VOBI abandoned their dream of independence from those SOBs in the rest of Nigeria? We need more radio countries! Beyond the NASWA convention of once-a-country, always-a-country (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS. 19m was hopping and even 16m, around 0430
May 1: best from 17880 and 17615 with Radio Free Asia in Chinese, via Saipan and Tinian respectively, or so I think rather than the ChiCom CNR1 jamming which surely accompanies it in Asia. However, at next check 0610, everything was dead above 13 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. BSKSA HQS, still running two nearby frequencies at once, contrary to known schedule, May 1 at 1336 on 17615 // 17625, only fair-poor with RFI in French amid on 17620. 17615 is supposed to change to 17625 at 1200. But at 1423 check, now it`s only 17615, not 17625 which apparently axually closed at 1400 as it is scheduled  (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. Brother Scare is back on WWCR: May 1 at 0454 on 5890, no longer // 5935 DGS, which was rather pointless. WWCR has put up new pdf program grid as of May 1, showing BS:
M-F   15-20 13845
Daily 04-11  5890
The SFAW/PPP sked on WWCR now also matches what we had in last report. No changes to WORLD OF RADIO`s six times (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) see also USA, WBCQ for more BS

** TURKEY. 11980, at 0449 May 1, good with nice but very repetitive ME music; I was beginning to think it was an IS, but varied somewhat over time. 0500 one-pip timesignal about one second late, W&M with Turkish announcements, news? 0504 back to music but weakening. It`s TRT ?akirlar, 04-06 at 310 degrees to Europe and consequently NAm beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO on WWCR: #1510 confirmed on 15825, Friday April 30 starting at 2030:10, poor here with no Es to help; also ending by 1657 so it must have started a bit early, Saturday May 1 on 12160, good now with some sporadic E in play, and no looping. Next airings are: UT Sun 0230 on 4840, 0630 on 3215, 2330 on 9980, Mon 0330 on 5890 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17920.4v, KVOH whining spur audible April 30 at 2006, from strong 17775. As usual the match on 17629.6v was much weaker, but same pitch of whine detectable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330, May 1 at 1433 fair with a preacher in Amerenglish citing Hebrews, something new here, with splash from VOK 9335. O yeah, it`s the Good Friends Radio Network which has just bought 12 hours a day on WBCQ, 13-01 UT, and thus knox out all the other bits of programming, which had appeared on 9330 between those hours: that infomercial at 18-19, World of Radio rarely at 1900-1930, Amos `n` Andy at 1930-1940; and Area 51 (93?) later in evening. Did not notice whether this 9330 transmission is still CUSB, but at this hour CLSB would be better vs P`yongyang.

It`s also bad news for R. Damascus, Syria, which will now have WBCQ co-channel at all its times using 9330, so we can only hope 12085 will be funxional in more ways than one.

WBCQ schedule update http://www.wbcq.com/?tag=schedule confirms this, as well as another timechange for the DX programs via Area 51 Sunday evenings on 5110-CUSB: Pirates Week at 0200-0230 UT Mondays, International Radio Report at 0230-0300 UT Mondays.

Brother Scare is also “back“ on WBCQ 7415 now:
Saturday-Thursday 8 pm-11 pm (0000-0300 UT Sun-Fri) and
Friday            9 pm-11 pm (0100-0300 UT Sat)
I wasn`t aware he had gone away, having given up bothering with 7415 during those times (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** ALBANIA. 7425, R. Tirana English at 0154 UT Sunday May 2, S9+25 but somewhat undermodulated, and some splash from WBCQ 7415, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ARGENTINA. 15345.2, fair signal and nothing to het against from typically off-frequency General Pacheco, UT Sunday May 2 at 0102 with promo for something on “Nacional, la Radio“, time check for just after 22 hours local, more promos, and 0105 “Radio Nacional Argentina presenta: Noche tras noche“. If this were a weeknight, same transmitter would be on 11710.7v instead with the RAE Japanese hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHILE. I have been complaining for months about the dirty mushy spurs the CVC transmitter on 11920 put out varying plus/minus 20 kHz during the HCJB Kulina and Portuguese relay at 2245-2445. A few weeks ago, asked CVC HQ in England how much longer would it take them to fix it? No reply, but they finally have! May 1 at 2316 I find the usual good signal on 11920 in Portuguese, but no sign of any spur around 11900, which had been heard again on 11897.6 only a few days ago, April 24 as in DXLD 10-17. Nor around 11940, tho at this hour, it could have been masked by the DentroCuban Jamming Command against Mart? still running centered on 11930 but with jampulses as far as 11940; more about that under CUBA. That`s the good news.

Now the bad news: a different spur problem from CVC Chile: UT May 2 at 0142 between 11795 and 11825 I am hearing extremely distorted and loud music spur spixe centered maybe on 11810, hard to tell; could be 11815. A transmitter on one of those frequencies drastically malfunxioning? As always with such spurs, tune around the band on another receiver looking for a match in the modulation. And I find it: 11665, with the heavily modulated gospel rock CVC plays incessantly.

Yes, that`s where it is coming from, so is there another spur equidistant below 11665? Yes! Can make out same circa 11510, but this is competing with another spur, WEWN`s 10-kHz one from English on 11520. Catholix vs Christian Visionaries! These CVC spurs may be nothing new as I seldom bandscan during this timeperiod. But if old, why have I not seen any reports of them; does no one else care? But then hardly anyone else reported the 11920 spurs. All three were gone at 0227 check as 11665 closes at 0200. Probably always happening at 23-02 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. RHC anomalies May 1-2: at 2305, I notice that 5040 is missing, altho 5025 Rebelde is audible. 5040 is supposedly the only frequency for the 23-24 UT English broadcast, o no! I continued bandscanning from top down, noting the other usual RHC frequencies, none of them with English. Finally at 2332 I come across 6060, and there it is, RHC English while 5040 is still absent. Not very strong on 6060 and has some ACI splash from REE in French on 6055. At 2337 start DXers Unlimited, with Item #1, DTV makes Es TVDX less productive. At 0003 check, 6060 is now in RHC French, which would also have been on 5040 which is still silent.

But now on 6060 there is something underneath. Could be Argentina or Brasil, but at 0013 I hear the RHC news sounder, // 6110. So not one, but two RHC transmissions are on 6060 by mistake, or not? Audio mix on one transmitter? 6060 supposedly does not start until 0500 in English per current schedule.

Meanwhile, at 2331 I noticed that 5970 was also missing. This one is not supposed to start until 0100, but has really been running as early as 2300, colliding with RNW Bonaire 2300-2330 in Dutch, and which just caused them to move to 6140 (which is an ex-RHC frequency).

Unfortunately I tuned in a bit too late to confirm whether RNW had yet made the switch, which tonight would have been unnecessary anyway! 5970 was however on by my next check at 0003, in Spanish, // 6000, 6110, 6120.

5040 had finally come on sometime before 0228 when I find it in Spanish. Suspect it was another case of slopperation at site, no one noticing they had the wrong frequency running, eventually rectified. OR, one transmitter down, so another substituted on another frequency?

Now observations of the DentroCuban Jamming Command, May 1-UT May 2: at 2317 after looking for CVC spur around 11920, I notice that the two jammed frequencies 11930 Mart? and 11970 VOA make for a mesh of jamspurs all the way between them. The only signal which can compete, but not completely override the pulsing is 11955 in Spanish, but it dumps off the air at 2318-2319; carrier returns first and modulation resumes a few sex later, about art in Romanian monasteries; hmmm, I`ll bet it`s RRI as scheduled this hour via Tiganeshti.

At 0049 there is still heavy jamming on VOA frequencies 5890, 9885 and 11970, the DCJC too stupid to pick up on the fact that the VOA Spanish service stops at 0000 UT on weekends. Countless kW are wasted instead of feeding starving Cubans.

9780 also with heavy jamming at 0215 May 2, perhaps a trace of R. Rep?blica audio underneath (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CYPRUS. 9920-9945, OTH radar pulses, presumed from here, May 1 at 2327; main victim is 9935 in Spanish which is YFR via GUF, so who cares? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 11590, R. Cairo, at 2313 May 1 at S9+20 signal but just barely modulated with ME music. I daringly turn the volume all the way up, and that makes it sound about normal level, but risky vs fades, noise, interference, and occasional spixe in the modulation itself to higher level, but nowhere near normal. This is the so-called Western North American service in English at 2300-2430, followed by four hours of Arabic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6940-USB, May 2 at 0040 just as I tuned in a bit of music, heard ID from WEAK, and weak @ gmail.com Nothing further, so apparently signed off. Was not too weak (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1580, KOKB Blackwell once again transmitting for hours and hours with no modulation, Saturday May 1 checked at 2000, 2147, 2226 UT. Also May 2 at 0020 as skywave was starting to income, something underneath the carrier producing SAH. I have an idea: why not turn off the transmitter too, so maybe I can hear in daytime the next closest 1580 stations, Van Buren AR, El Dorado Springs MO or Gainesville TX? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 11955 in Spanish vs jamspurs: see CUBA [and non]

** RUSSIA [non]. 9810 VOR Spanish via GUIANA FRENCH, May 2 at 0107 with La Voz de Rusia ID, no Cuban jamming for a change. No VOR Spanish at this time on 9735. GUF earlier in A-season was running both during this hour, but apparently 9735 now does not start until 0200, a May 1 mod? At 0215 check it`s the other way round, on 9735, off 9810 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WBCQ anomalies May 1-UT May 2: As in previous report, 9330 has started carrying the Good Friends Radio Network, supposedly at 13-01 UT daily. At 2323, confirmed it`s on CUSB as usual (“compatible“ i.e. reduced-carrier upper sideband), speaker about to expose something about the Catholic Church, but suddenly cut to another topic, net ID and mentioning time of 6 am Central = 12 GMT. Not now; is this an old recording from standard time? Maybe it was a poorly-produced program promo. Next tuneby at 2349 finds dead air, then modulation cutting in and out. At one point, GFRN mentions WBCQ, leading me to believe WBCQ is its only outlet. Supposed to end at 0100, but still on with preacher, VG signal at 0203, ditto 0229.

That`s not all. 7415 had been off the air Saturday evenings, but now it`s back, at 0155 UT Sunday May 2 with rock music. But as quoted in my last report from the schedule update page of the WBCQ website, Brother Scare is supposed to be on 7415 until 0300 every night including UT Sunday, and this is not TOM! Just in case checked WWRB 3145 where BS is really talking not //.

At 0159 “Chain Gang“, 0201 no ID and segu? to a country rock song. Is it // 5110 Area 51 by any chance? No. 0204 “Jailhouse Rock“ by Elvis. 0206 guess who, it`s a show hosted by Ted Randall; missed the title, but asks for e-mail and soon starts interviewing Rev. Dennis, aimed at prisoners? Website prayforme.us and inviting prayer partners. 0215 back to music. There is nothing about this on the WBCQ website, nor at http://www.tedrandall.com

Possibly the extension of 9330 and the unscheduled programming on 7415 are just ad-hoc, the operator on duty deciding to keep the transmitters running a bit later with whatever he can lay his hands on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 4840, WWCR-3 amid DX Block at 0229 UT Sunday May 2, canned announcement claimed it was on 4775 at 0300 Saturday, i.e. old winter schedule, except it was also UT Sunday then. Then WORLD OF RADIO 1510 started only a few sex late and hope it didn`t go into looping this time, as I missed rechecking a few mins before end (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1660, checking for KXTR Kansas City which supposedly has a classical format, as heard last night at unlogged time, but now UT Sunday May 2 at 0027 I am hearing an interview from Richmond VA with the Lt. Governor, in connexion with NASCAR, the Heath-Calhoun 400, which may be of great interest to most classical fans, but not this one. Axually, ENTERCOM just dumps on this frequency whatever it can`t place on any of its other stations in the market, classical being the lowest priority and the first to be pre-empted.

Recheck a few mins later at 0034, it`s much weaker. Was it just a fade, or did KXTR switch from 10 kW day power to 1 kW night power at 0030 UT? When is LSS officially in KC KS? FCC entry for this station at http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/srsstime?dlat=39&mlat=2&slat=17.00&dlon=94&mlon=36&slon=56.00&tzone=B
says 7:30 pm CST, so it`s still an hour away, unless on the first day of the new month at a new time, KXTR mistakenly cut at 7:30 pm CDT. FCC SR/SS info stays on standard time, clearly specified as such, but I am sure it still confuses lots of stations about when they should really make antenna/power changes, and such errors are most likely to happen on the first day of any month (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5954.2, noticed a non-standard het against Harold Camping WYFR on 5950.0, i.e. less than 5 kHz, so sought out and measured as best I could this weak carrier, May 2 at 0046, which of course brings to mind the ELCOR transmitter-test frequency from Costa Rica which may or may not have been involved at some time with Radio Rep?blica (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Russia, 5930, Radio Rossii, (Monchegorsk), 0940-0959, Noted a program of Russian pop Ballads with a female commenting in Russian between tunes.  Confirmed this with parallel program on 5940 KHz from R. Rossii.  The VOR is suppose to take over this freq at 1000 UTC.  A male continues in comments from 0950.  At 1000 programming does not change to VoR, but  continues with Rossii programming.  I heard VoR here in Chinese the other morning, so I am wondering if they just don’t broadcast the Chinese program on Sunday?  Signal of Rossii was fair.

Subject: Re: [HCDX] Sun Morn DX

Chuck, as Ron Howard and I have already reported a few days ago, R. Rossii, Petropavlovsk/Kamchatskiy has just moved from 5920 to 5930. Surely that is what you were hearing, not listed Monchegorsk at this hour which is mid-day there. Can anyone closer confirm whether M. is really active on this frequency too? 73, Glenn Hauser

At 1000 programming does not change to VoR, but continues with Rossii programming. I heard VoR here in Chinese the other morning, so I am wondering if they just don’t broadcast the Chinese program on Sunday Signal of Rossii was fair. (Chuck Bolland, May 2, 2010)

Chuck, I should add that Ron and I were hearing 5930 with `motorboating` defective transmission, a dead giveaway that it was the same transmitter ex-5920, besides being // 5940 Magadan. Were you not hearing any of that? The amount of motorboating varies and sometimes it is temporarily reduced. Also from a different timezone, Monchegorsk would not be // 5940. Glenn

Chuck, as Ron Howard and I have already reported a few days ago, R. Rossii, Petropavlovsk/Kamchatskiy has just moved from 5920 to 5930. Surely that is what you were hearing, not listed Monchegorsk at this hour which is mid-day there. Can anyone closer confirm whether M. is really active on this frequency too? 73, Glenn Hauser

** CANADA. 6160, May 2 at 0600, CBC News with slight echo and rippling SAH, so CKZN and CKZU both in at this time. Normally programming is 4 hours apart except for certain hourtop national newscasts. The least CBC could do would be to: zero-beat the two transmitters with each other; and: synchronize the network program feeds (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Propagation from E Asia was quite degraded the morning of May 2: the only Firedrake I could find 9-18 MHz was 12950, just barely audible at 1345. However:

11590 // 11605 at 1234 May 2 in Chinese, presumably CNR1 jammers. You know your station has a PR problem when the first assumption of anyone hearing it is that it`s a jammer rather than a legitimate transmission. But do the ChiCom care? Of course not! The urgency for jamming into oblivion any outside news or opinion trumps everything else. Uplooked later in Aoki, yes, both are jammers against RFA`s Tibetan service via Kuwait and Tinian respectively (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. At 1532 May 2 checking for Al?, Presidente relays of Venezuela, none of those, but RHC itself active with rather weak signals on 11730, 11760, 12030, 15380, the last clashing at about equal level with listed R. Ashna via Wertachtal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY [non]. 15410, May 2 at 1225 in perfect French discussing strikes in Spain with frequent voice-overs from comments in Castilian. Fair signal; 1230 DW 4-note sounder, ID and into “Club de l`auditeur“, bit of “Happy Birthday“ ditty and tribute to Togo`s ind?pendence.

This is via RWANDA at 12-13, 295 degrees, preceded by an hour of Swahili, followed by an hour of Hausa, each on a different azimuth. Hmm, 1230 Sunday is when we once could hear Club 9516 in English from France with David Page, if 21620 were propagating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, Sunday May 2 at 1310 and still at 1329, nothing but open carrier from English hour of VOI, another station which never gets through a week without some kind of foulup (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6045, XEXQ, SLP, Sunday May 2: tune-in 1202, carrier is on, but no modulation until 1211 with choral NA, 1213 right into Pomp & Circumstance March No. 1 by Elgar, which they play in its 6.5 minute entirety every morning to begin the day. No announcements at all yet until it`s over at 1219.6, sign-on mentioning 5,000 watts which is the MW 1190 power, 1220 timecheck, 1222.5 another TC and into a waltz. Signal was barely audible vs noise level.

Juli?n Santiago D?ez de Bonilla, DF, has been in further contact with XEXQ. He says it was reactivated April 28; the replacement part did not come from Chile but from Newark Electronix in Guadalajara, power is 450 watts to a V antenna 12 meters on a side at a height of 6 meters, oriented north/south (so apparently we are in a good spot for maximum signal), and the summer schedule is 1200-0400 UT daily (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11715, KJES not heard for several days, but certainly active Sunday May 2 at 1533, inbooming on 11715 with kids doing catechisms in Spanish. Must have HF sporadic E boost, but not reaching VHF per DX Sherlock and TV-FM Skip Log (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VENEZUELA [non]. 11705, RNV via CUBA, unusually with decent modulation May 2 at 1237, but usual Commie propaganda in the name of Bol?var. What would Sim?n say?

“Al?, Presidente“ check at 1532 Sunday May 2: Nothing on any of the usual Cuban relay frequencies, 17750, 13750, 13680, 12010, 11690 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also CUBA ###

Subject: [HCDX] Mon Morn DX

Guyana, 3290, Voice of Guyana, 0915-0930,  Noted musical selections with English comments
from a male between tunes.   Comments consisted of live Ads by the announcer.  After that, back to music.   Signal was best I heard since they came back on the air, which is a fair level.  No  interference noted this morning nor the buzz that’s been here for a couple of days. (Chuck Bolland, May 3, 2010)

Suriname, 4990, Radio Apintie, 0921-0930,  With very weak audio, noted a male in Dutch language comments. here.   Also heard canned promos during the period.  Signal was poor.   (Chuck Bolland, May 3, 2010)

Russia, 5930, Radio Rossii, 0935-1005,  With a nice strong carrier, but very weak audio, I noted music and Russian comments from a male.   Yes, the audio was almost absent it was so weak and later sounded muffled.   (Chuck Bolland, May 3, 2010)

Russia, 5940. Radio Rossii, 1000-1015,   I checked this earlier (0950) and could not hear any Russian language comments.  I did hear Portuguese prior to the hour however.  Anyway at 1000 noted Russian language comments and details parallel with 05930 KHz.  Signal was fair here.  (Chuck Bolland, May 3, 2010)

** ANTARCTICA [and non]. For the first weekday in a fortnight, can`t hear any signal on 15476 from LRA36, Monday May 3 at 1321, nor by final check at 1418; but propagation certainly degraded on 19m, with Cubans weaker than usual, no UK on 15480, Turkey barely audible on 15450, and CRI via Sackville 15260 the only inboomer (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHILE. After discovering on May 1 that CVC had lost spurs from 11920 but added them from 11665, I recheck May 2 at 2337, this time on portable so they don`t sound as pervasive, but still spiking roughly 11810-11830 from 11665, and trace on 11510 vs spur from WEWN 11520; and yes, 11920 still clean with no HCJB spurs around 11900 or 11940 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake May 3: propagation is subpar, and can only find poor signals at 1326 on 12980, 12600, none audible above or below in the usual spots between 8 and 18 MHz. The former jumps frequency from day to day, also heard recently on 12970, 12960, 12950 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. Rogue jamspurs from DCJC: May 3 at 1237 centered about 7658, fading in and out; could originate from 7405 blast against Mart?; pulsing at the rate of 4 per second. Exactly same rate on 12020 at 1328, also weak. This could come from 11845.

12020 is of course a deliberate RHC frequency later in the day. We would dearly like to know whether any of the noise/pulse jamming comes from RHC`s broadcast sites, but will have to wait for the counter-revolutionary era, with RadioCuba exposed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 9690, AIR GOS frequency better than usual, good signal but fluttery, May 3 at 1334, modulation well over the hum, but it`s not in English! Trying to place it, seems like it`s tonal, not much like Hindi or major S Asian languages. Is there a handy reference showing which are tonal and which not?

1335 to music, then commentary, at 1345 mentioning “International Court of Justice“ and “Kyoto Protocol“; 1347 to instrumental music, 1352 announcement and vocal music. At 1354 I check the other scheduled AIR GOS frequencies: weaker 13710 is // so it has the same problem with wrong language input. Both these are Bengaluru; 11620 is Delhi, and JBA, can`t tell if it`s // but may well not be. Kept going past 1400 with more music. Much better signal on 9690 than AIR VBS on 9870 which used to have the edge, also from Bangalore.

Meanwhile I am checking WRTH 2010 to see which other languages are on the AIR at this time, supposed to be on other frequencies. Then for latest info, according to http://www.qsl.net/vu2jos/es/time.htm this is the lineup with site abbreviations:

1230-1500 Sindhi 6165(Kh) 7340(M) 9620(A)
1300-1430 Punjabi 702(J)
1300-1500 Sinhala 1053(T)  7270(Ch) 15050(Kh); used later: 9820(P)
1315-1415 Dari 7410(Kh) 9910(Kh); to be used later: 7255(A)
1330-1430 Nepali 3945(G)  4860(Ki)  7420(Gu) 11775(P) 1134(C)
1330-1500 English 9690(B) 11620(Kh) 13710(B) E SE Asia
1415-1530 Pushtu  7410(Kh)  9910(Kh); to be used later: 7255(A)

By now I have suspected announcements are in Dari/Persian, altho not supposed to be a tonal language, so I pay close attention at 1415 when that transitions to Pushtu. 1414:30 stop music, announcement, but signal is fading; 1415 “Salaam Aleikum“ in a different language, and 1416 into different-sounding music. So I am fairly sure I was hearing on 9690 and 13710 what was supposed to be on 7410 and 9910 from Khampur site near Delhi; unchecked but likely inaudible anyway from that site. Maybe they had English on instead?

The programme feed could have been misrouted from master control in Delhi; or Bengaluru was tuned to the wrong input. In any event, no one had noticed and fixed it during the first half-sesquihour of the 1330 “English“ transmission, and probably for the entire sesquihour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI, which was open carrier only on Sunday made a slight improvement on Monday May 3. At 1259, just barely modulated, under hum could make out the canned ID with gamelan, 1300 English program summary and starting news. Still at next check 1333 with only a trace of modulation under the hum (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6104.8, XEQM, May 3 at 0554, with romantic music, good peaks but deep fades until *0559.6 became only a het against BBC French via Ascension opening with 5+1 timesignal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6045-, XEXQ got started a bit earlier Monday morning May 3, tune in at 1208 and already in sign-on announcement mentioning 1190 with 5 kW; and also “–45“ but could not catch power announced; I`ll bet it was not the true figure of 450 vatios. Seemingly live YL DJ kept talking until classical music started at 1215; barely audible.

BTW, note that other Mexican AM+SW stations have distinct callsigns: XEEP/XEPPM, XEOY/XEOI, XEMQ/XEQM, XEUN/XEYU, etc., but not this one. I have however seen it listed somewhere as XEXQOC, so possibly its true SW call axually has six letters which is possible in Mexico; or -OC considered a suffix like -FM, or -TV (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1580, KOKB Blackwell, once again Sunday afternoon May 2 at several chex running open carrier with no modulation. Perhaps I am the only one who has noticed, but not one who cares, as if they were modulating it would be silly ballgame talk. Sponsors might care if they think they are paying for carrier plus modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Routine check of WWCR for newly scheduled WORLD OF RADIO broadcast Sunday at 2330 on 9980: no signal at 2337 May 2. Can`t be propagation, since nearby WTWW 9479 was inbooming.

Later found this on homepage: “2 MAY 2010 – WWCR and sister station WNQM are OFF-AIR due to power outage and flooding. Nashville, Tennessee is recovering from 18 inches of rainfall in 2 days. We appreciate your patience and request your prayers for employees and friends of these stations, many of whom have suffered tremendous personal loss. Further details will be posted here as they become available.“

All frequencies still absent May 3 at 1312: 7490, 9980, 13845, 15825. We hope there has been no major damage (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5755, WTWW is usually loud and clear, but May 3 at 0600 I noticed SFAW was only a fair signal and bothered by a bonker (TADIL-A) on just about the same frequency. The ute, of course, will have priority if anyone complains. There`s always 5080 alternative, altho we knew it had ute QRM from the outset (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11715-, KJES surprisingly audible with good signal May 3 at 1308, but just barely modulating obsessive Ave Mar?a song; by next check 1327 the carrier had dropped to just barely audible. Frequency is slightly on the lo side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

I am just getting started receiving 80M/75M LSB? and HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA i RECEIVE? find a pair OF HAMS at 3821? in a discussion? en Espanol (hablo pequeno espanol)

Is this likely a domestic or foreign transmission ? SINPO 34333?

Is this possibly what I am hearing? I DID copy a K4 ID? from the stronger station. One member of the discussion comes in strong, one comes in weak, suggesting greater distance.

Is this LOW END of the band occupied by a specific group? I never hear any English Hams down here

Thanks all?

Peru, 3329.55, Ondas Del Huallaga, 0955-1005, Noted a male in Spanish language comments during the entire period.  This over background music. On the hour it seems like a female joined in.  Signal was poor and best heard in LSB due to the presence of CHU.  (Chuck Bolland, May 4, 2010)

Bolivia, 6134.80, Radio Santa Cruz, 1003-1015,  Noted a male and female in possibly a Spanish language lesson.   The signal was fair.   (Chuck Bolland, May 4, 2010)

Peru, 4835.45, Radio Maranon, 1015-1030,   Noted music then a male and female in Spanish  comments between the music.  Signal was fair to poor. (Chuck Bolland, May 4, 2010)

Peru, 4746.93, Radio Huanta Dos Mil, 1028-1035,   With the usual Huaynos type music at tune in.   At 1034 music stops for a moment and canned promos and ID’s heard.  Signal was fair to poor during the period.   (Chuck Bolland, May 4, 2010)

Unident, 4604.41, 1035-1045  Have a carrier on this freq, but can’t pull out any audio from it. I am wondering if this might be RRI Serui, Indonesia. Don’t want to commit to Serui without more details however.   (Chuck Bolland, May 4, 2010)
