** CHINA. Firedrake May 20, all in parallel:
8400, fair at 1241
10300, fair at 1248, not audible at 1311, but just barely audible 1333
11100, very poor at 1249, and at 1307
11500, very poor at 1249, and at 1307; JBA at 1333
13680, poor at 1256
13870, fair at 1256
The last two are unusual, in-band. Nothing listed to target on 13680; VOR in Russian via St. Pete on 13870, but the 20 May edition of Aoki does also show 13870 as one of many 24-hour, 100-watt Sound of Hope frequencies requiring jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COSTA RICA. I have just realized that REE`s relay on 15170 has been missing for some time. Nothing but Russian heard on 15170, May 20 at 1336, i.e. BBCWS, 70 degrees from Woofferton all the way from 1300 to 1730, per HFCC. So are ANY of the Cariari frequencies on the air now?

REE registrations in HFCC are useless, since they embrace total possible usage spans for each frequency, not real usage, which also varies depending on day of week, another minor point REE does not bother to break down in its HFCC registrations.

Yet, it seems no two REE schedules are in agreement either. Here`s the latest in the WRTH A-10 update for Cariari, to be checked for activity:

Spanish   Days    Area kHz
0000-0400 daily   SAm  6020cri
0200-0600 daily   CAm  3350cri
0200-0600 daily   NAm  9630cri

1600-2300 …..s. NAm 17850cri
1800-2000 mtwtf.. SAm 11815cri
1800-2000 mtwtf.. CAm  9765cri
1800-2000 mtwtf.. NAm 17850cri

Note that the 12-15 broadcasts on M-F include news in “co-official languages“ Catalan, Galician and Basque [not really except for open and close, rest in Castilian] at 1240-1255.

I waited until after 1800 to post this report, so I could check the next weekday transmissions scheduled: At 1802, 17850 blank next to 17845 WYFR; 11815 Spanish audible weakly, and 9765 with carrier detectable, but what else could it be? So it seems only one of the CRI transmitters is down. Last year it was reported that a new DRM-capable transmitter would be installed here; or was it two? During previous outages I have speculated that could be the cause (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9750, DentroCuban jamming pulses vs NHK in Japanese, May 20 at 1318. I assume this is a spur, perhaps from the 9805 wall of noise against R. Mart? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1120, KEOR, Sperry-Catoosa-Tulsa, still missing May 20 at 1545 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9385, WWRB, May 20 at 1348, instead of Brother Scare I hear that wacko Glenn Beck, barf. I assume The Overcomer was just running a clip of him to reinforce some view of that wacko R. G. Stair (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 15450, fair signal from VOT, Thursday May 20 at 1300, tuned in just as Live from Turkey was starting with “Hello, hello, hello“. This supposedly listener-participation show has degenerated into vapid conversations, mainly Seref Isler tweeting about what he is doing right now, such as should he get a leather jacket? With occasional comments from some YL announcers (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

New Zealand Budget 2010
Radio New Zealand
International Funding
Frozen
_______________________

Radio New Zealand International [RNZI], the country’s shortwave broadcaster receives no additional funding in the latest government budget for 2010/2011 announced in Wellington yesterday.

Funding remains at NZ$1.9m [US$1.26m] and it’s required to deliver 16 hours of good quality reception daily to a minimum of 11 Pacific nations with one 100kW analog transmitter installed in 1990 and one 100kW digital capable transmitter installed in 2005.

The primary coverage nations it’s funded for are French Polynesia, Cook Islands, Tokelau, American Samoa, Samoa, Niue, Tonga, Wallis and Futuna, Fiji, Tuvalu, New Caledonia and Vanuatu.

The secondary coverage nations are Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Nauru and Kiribati, whilst general coverage must be provided to the Asia/Pacific and Pacific Rim region including the Federated States of Micronesia, Marshall Islands and Palau.

In addition, RNZI must increase the number of Pacific radio stations relaying or rebroadcasting its news bulletins to 18 and is permiited a maximum 1% of transmission time lost from equipment failure.

The Radio Heritage Foundation welcomes the continued funding of RNZI as recognition by the government that it provides a valuable service for New Zealand’s interests in the Pacific.

‘At a time when many shortwave broadcasters face budget cuts and complete closedown of services, this continued confidence in RNZI’s ability to deliver a quality service with a bare-bones budget is
tribute to the extreme dedication to duty and pragmatism of the entire RNZI team” says chairman David Ricquish.

RNZI provides valuable cyclone, extreme weather watch and tsunami warnings for the entire South Pacific region. It also provides local FM quality news, information and other programs for rebroadcast on a growing number of local Pacific island radio stations.

“With Fiji in media censorship lockdown and media freedoms poorly understood in many of the target nations, RNZI provides local listeners with a respected and valuable news source from a Pacific perspective” adds Ricquish.

“Every week, thousands of New Zealanders are on holiday, on business visits or working and living in the Pacific and RNZI provides a valuable service for their continued safety.”

“To maintain this security, RNZI should also be urgently capital funded for a replacement of the 20 year old analog transmitter with another high power digital capable shortwave transmitter sooner
rather than later” says Ricquish.

Catastrophic RNZI transmitter failure co-inciding with natural disasters or sudden political events and instability in the region could threaten the lives of New Zealanders and New Zealand’s security
and commercial interests.

Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage across the Pacific. It’s global website www.radioheritage.net offers free
community access to Pacific Radio Guides and other valuable resources. Annual supporter packages start at US$10 and online advertising rates are now available.

Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs May 20-21, 2010

** ANTARCTICA. Not much luck with LRA36 lately, low solar flux. May 21 at 1318 an occasional carrier around 15476, but mixed with weak hash, probably local origin, but possibly Cuban spur. At the moment, however, RHC 15360 seemed too weak itself to audiblize its spurs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHILE. Spurs from 11920 kHz HCJB — Hello Glenn! I contacted Calera de Tango, they have looked at the transmitter. There has been a problem at the frequency synthesizer. But it should now be OK again.
Greetings from Germany, 73, (Stephan Schaa, May 20, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Good; hope it stays OK this time. Checked May 20 around 2255 and indeed did not hear the spurs circa plus/minus 20 kHz; however, the fundamental was unusually weak due to poor propagation, so more tries are needed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake May 21:
9350, good at 1258, to open carrier vs nothing at 1300, resumed at 1305; at 1550 JBA and could not confirm whether // 12960
11500, good at 1335, but not on the earlier scan
12960, very poor at 1546
12970, good at 1309 and // 9350. None others found at this time, 8-18 MHz. 12970 gone at 1350 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COSTA RICA. REE relay apparently still running only two of the three transmitters: May 21 at 0536, 5965 // 3350, but nothing audible on scheduled 9630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) see also UNIDENTIFIED 17850

** CROATIA [non]. Voice of Croatia has made its usual odd-date May switch from 7375 to 9925 via the overlapping German relays. Tnx to a log tip from Stewart MacKenzie reminding me of this. HFCC says from 10 May until 6 September, now scheduled on 9925:
22-03 240 degrees from Wertachtal to South America
23-03 300 degrees from Wertachtal to North and Central America
01-05 325 degrees from Nauen to North America (west)

Eibi, which has not been updated since 12 April, still has 7375 instead of 9925, with English at 0200-0215 only. There used to be another one, at 2215-2230 per Aoki at least when on 7375, but needs to be reconfirmed on 9925. May 20 at 2200 the signal on 9925 was just too weak in very poor propagation conditions, only one transmitter this early and aimed to S America.

Quite good after 2300, however; and at 0213 UT May 21 finishing “Croatia Today“ English segment by spending a minute reciting satellites it`s on, MW and SW frequencies including this one, into music.

The list of satellites merely gave the name and the orbital position, no other parameters. Do they really expect listeners to hunt thru all the transponders and all the frequencies on each to find VOC? For that matter, do they have any significant number of individuals listening to them by direct satellite as opposed to shortwave or mediumwave?

At 0230 recheck, 9925 was starting La Voz de Croacia in Spanish. And despite being on three transmitters from two sites, they were well synchronized, no echo detectable, presuming all three of them were propagating here to different degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6104.8, XEQM M?rida showing up again May 21 at 0533, lively music, fair at peaks with usual deep fades including at 0534 when a hyper canned announcement played. Modulation a bit distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS. Repeat performance of the Radio Free Asia transmitters in Chinese from Tinian and Saipan still propagating to 21+ MHz in the nightmiddle: May 21 at 0526 all audible: 21690, 21550, 17880 (best, Saipan), 17615, 15615, 15120, 13760. And without jamming, but I am sure that is not the case DentroChina (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 17595, REE at 2102 May 20 in Portuguese, or is it? The Castilian accent was so heavy that I had to listen carefully to detect that the words were axually Portuguese. I wonder if the Brazilians to whom this is aimed find it equally amusing to hear Portuguese spoken as if it were Castilian. But then they`ve got wacky wailing evangelist David Miranda who does a much worse job of speaking Spanish sounding like Portuguese, or v.v.?

For another day, REE Spanish to North America at the same time was on correct 15110 instead of 15385, quite separate from 17595 which had broken away from parallelism (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) see also COSTA RICA

** U S A. Now it`s WYFR putting out spurs. May 21 at 0516 I hear a big distorted blob in Spanish with hum centered as closely as I can measure it, on 9921.3. Soon IDed by // 9715. Then I look for a match 206.3 kHz on the other side, and there it is, tho seems not quite as strong, on 9508.7 — and it bothers another WYFR frequency in Spanish, 9505. Okeechobee has been notified and I expect they`ll be working on it, so let`s hope for a non-repeat tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 17850, DRM noise strong May 20 around 2100 or earlier, and happened to be tuning across when it cut off abruptly at the odd time of 2112:22*, uncovering WYFR on 17845. Center frequency might have been 17855, but nothing scheduled on either in DRMDX and no mentions of logs on those frequencies in the DRM Forums, or the drmna yg, except for 17850, TDF GUIANA FRENCH to Brazil on 21 May *2009*.

Would it be too much to ask for the DRM folx to publish accurate schedules of their own transmissions? GUF is currently registered with “various“ DRM at 13-21 on 17870-17875-17880, where I was not hearing DRM, but this was after 2100 anyway.

I was checking 17850 earlier in the first place to see if REE Costa Rica, q.v. and see previous report, was there (in AM). OTOH, since REE is supposedly installing a DRM-capable transmitter at Cariari, this could also be an early test of it. Those with DRM, please monitor 17850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs May 21-22, 2010

** AUSTRALIA. R. Australia has replaced “All in the Mind“ with “All in the Foot“, Friday at 1330 UT, noted May 21 on 9590. Axually, the new show is called “World Football Weekly“; could it have something to do with the upcoming World Cup elsewhere in the Southern Hemisphere? Checking online programme guide, WFW is Thu 1031, Fri 1330, 1930, Sat 0130, while All in the Mind still exists Wed 1405, Sat 1130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHILE. A closer check of CVC 11920 relaying HCJB Portuguese, May 21 at 2305 confirms there are no audible spurs circa plus/minus 20 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Not much making it from Asia at 2221 UT May 21 on 13 MHz or other bands, but on 13775 good signal with W&M in hyper Chinese, sounds like typical CNR1 programming. Faded to JBA by 2230. Per Aoki it`s another jammer, against VOA Chinese via Thailand during this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COSTA RICA. 5954.12, ELCOR music test still going with fairly good signal May 22 at 0145, but a lot weaker than WYFR 5950. Quite separable on DX-398 narrow, and side-tuned up a bit. It was three clix above 5954, i.e. 3 x 40 Hz, but margin of error prevents certainty on the last digit (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See USA KJES

** COSTA RICA. Following suspicious UNID DRM on 15170, 17850, q.v., checked REE relay frequencies May 22 at 0104: 3350 poor and 9630 VG, stronger than 9620 direct from Spain, all in analog. Could not decide whether it was also on the scheduled 6020 under CRI/ALBANIA and Peru/het, but something was SAHing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15370, the RHC transmitter with the spurs in Spanish at 21-23 to Europe, is also on the previous hour, 2000 in Portuguese, 2030 in Arabic, so May 21 at 2042 I find its main whiny spur on 15409.5 and a weaker one JBA around 15330.

At 2045 in Arabic mentioned M?ximo G?mez, one of the original revolutionary figures who would later have a clandestine channel of La Voz del CID named for him. BTW, it should have been La Voz *de* CID as there was nothing masculine about it (Cuba Independiente y Democr?tica). But they were probably trying to evoke El Cid. A recent report from Cuba says CID is active in the DentroCuban opposition, but we wonder if it`s now only a sham.

12060, DCJC pulsing at the rate of 4 times per second, fading in and out, the second harmonic of one of the jammers on 6030 against R. Mart? — but which?

5040, RHC missing at 0140 May 22, tho Rebelde 5025 was good as usual. On the DX-398 with reel-out antenna and AC power, I could hear RHC English weakly on 5070, so it took the huge signal on 5970 to produce such an image on this receiver; nothing else 900 kHz below other 49m frequencies was audible.

6000 also in English at 0149, but much weaker signal and much weaker modulation than 5970.

9580, supposed to be CRI Chinese via Habana, big open carrier with hash, no intelligible modulation, May 22 at 0205, and putting like hashy spurs on 9570 and 9590 — just like the same transmitter does in the mornings, whether modulated or not, when on 9570, QRMing Australia on 9560 and 9580 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1513 monitoring: Area 51 no longer publishes any schedule for weekdays when it is webcast only, not on WBCQ; yet the streaming link still runs, and UT Friday May 21 at 0000 we found WOR already about to conclude. Assuming it played straight thru, it must have started around 2335 UT May 20. The week before, it only came on for little more than one minute, the introduction, a few minutes before 2400.

WWCR 15825, Friday at 2029: with low flux, and no sporadic E at the moment, I could barely detect a carrier May 21 at 2037; some other chex had a little audio which sounded like me, but still too weak to copy. I am thinking not only is the signal very poor but the modulation is low. That improves a little at 2057 when I can detect the QSY to 7465 announcement.

ACB Radio webcast confirmed with WOR 1513 during the final airing in the 2300 UT hour Friday May 21 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WRNO with gospel song by YL mentioning El Shadai(?) over and over, May 22 0159 past hourtop. Seems almost on 7506; At 0330 more like 7505.8, VG strength (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7555, strong open carrier at 0155 May 22; 0201 KJES had started with catechism repetitions in English, big hum and quite undermodulated. ELCOR cannot be proud (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN. 9600, VR IS May 21 from tune-in 2242 till off at 2245* without announcement. Chinese from SMG at 2200-2245; most of their languages end at least a few minutes earlier, but instead of going right off, VR likes to play its lovely “Christ Conquers“ IS postludio ad infinitum (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6874.9, May 22 at 0153, very weak talk and music in the noise level, presumably one of the pirates. Seems more upper than lower. WYFR is on 6875 from 03 to 12 give or take (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. More unscheduled strong DRM signals the afternoon of May 21. Both of them are on frequencies previously used at other times by Cariari, the Costa Rican relay of Radio Exterior de Espa?a, on AM, which I find quite suspicious, since one of their AM transmitters has been silent and they were reported last year to be installing a new DRM-capable one, so are these tests from it? I reported this yesterday and asked DRM receivers to check it, but no such reports have reached me to ID it.

May 21 at 2048 there is no DRM on 17850. However, at 2203, I find S9+17 DRM centered on 15170, but at next check 2217 it is gone. Then at 2218 I try the other frequency, 17850 and there it is, at S9+18, surely the same transmitter just moved up, centered on 17850, not 17855, and thus blowing away analog WYFR on 17845 which is scheduled from 1800 to 2245. 17845-17850-17855 DRM still going at 2244, 2300 chex, and cut off abruptly at 2309:17*. Checked 15170 again but did not come back there in next few minutes.

Just checked May 22 at 0400, still no listing of either in the DRM DX schedule, nor any reports of them in that forum nor in the drmna yg. Is anyone paying attention? Andy Sennitt points out that since it`s open-source, no one transmitting in DRM is obligated to put it in the schedules or publicize it; tho if they want an audience, it just might help (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Subject: [HCDX] Question

Its 1040 UTC in? Puerto Rico and I am hearing to a station that has just given the ID as Usted Escucha a Sonido Cubano. I heard this station at 5040 khz 60 meters band with music and suddently, went off the air to come back again a few minutes later and went off back again.

I wonder what station is this if anybody could tell.

** ALASKA. 7355, KNLS, May 22 at 1233, poor signal with Bible story in English about Israelites (not to be confused with Israelis) building a temple in Jerusalem, has to be this; yes, 1237 YL ID in passing. Barely above noise level, and also bothered by overload from WWCR 7490.

Why in the world is KNLS staying on this lo frequency in the Arctic summer, which will enjoy little darkness to propagate Chinaward? This is the one English broadcast supposed to be on two frequencies, the other, 9680 per http://www.knls.org/English/ksched.htm
and also the versions on the Chinese and Russian pages which do not always match.

But WRTH Update with a double-dagger says one of the two transmitters is inactive. And if they were really on 9680, KNLS would be under Indonesia, Taiwan and China jamming! As gamelan was dominating there at 1247. What genius picked that frequency?

The other three English broadcasts at 08, 10 and 14 are scheduled on 11765, which is the silent transmitter as Mandarin at the same hours takes priority on the only remaining unit. So 12-13 on 7355 is currently their ONLY English broadcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake May 22:
8400, good at 1240 and at 1350
10300, good at 1249 and at 1349
11500, fair at 1252, poor at 1347
12960, good at 1333 and at 1356 and at 1410 to 1412:47*
13300, very good at 1334 and at 1356 and at 1410, also off at 1413
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COSTA RICA. 9630, REE relay, May 22 at 0530 Spanish conversation, // much weaker 5965 and 3350, so all three transmitters are on in analog now. Suspect 9630 may be the new unit accounting for DRM tests earlier circa 15170, 17850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 4750, RRI Makassar, May 22 at 1223, amazingly fair signal with Indonesian talk, best extracontinental signal on 60m. Local sunrise in Enid today was 1119 UT, only 5 minutes away from its earliest at 1114 in early June (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH. 9345, Korean rather distorted modulation, May 22 at 1242, from VOK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 9650 via Canada, KBS World Radio, Saturday May 22 at 1244 with Seoul Calling, mailbag in progress. Even tho the OM speaks English with an American accent he doesn`t know much about US geography, as refers to mail from: “Rochester, in the United States“; and another one from “Indiana, USA“.

How are we ever going to convince these foreigners that it is not sufficient to mention town and country, without the state??? Place names are duplicated in state after state, so we have no way of knowing which one you are talking about otherwise. In the case of Rochester, there are two main cities of that name, in New York and Minnesota. As for Indiana, besides being a state, it is also the name of a town, at least in Pennsylvania!

You don`t necessarily have to know these details about each name, just include the city plus the state every time. Of course, it`s usually but not always safe to assume our major cities, u.o.s. There are Houstons and San Antonios besides the ones in Texas, etc., etc.

At 1254-1257 ran Kevin O`Donovan`s “Weekly Listening Guide“ with some DX news items partly from Christer Brunstr?m in Sweden, concerning Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Poland, Japan; WRTH free pdf supplement issued; PWBR “appears“ to have ceased publication; and propagation from SWPC, the same source I cite on WOR but he summarizes it non-numerically as I used to do. All this squeezed into three minutes.

Just before Kevin, a listener in North Carolina had mentioned QRM on 9650 believed to be from R. Netherlands. NOT ? as soon as KBS cut off at 1259, on came the RNW IS via Tinang, soon to be overridden by Sackville back on for CRI relay, but as usual enough to cause annoying QRM even here to CRI, serves the damn jammers right.

Anyhow, RNW is not interfering with KBS on 9650; instead the main QRM from 1200 is North Korea`s Japanese service, as these two have clashed for ages. This surely gets worse further west in North America. I assume it`s just another manifestation of the N/S standoff with neither willing to lose face by conceding defeat and moving. Who cares about the listeners? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. XEXQ-OC, 6045: it`s gone again. At least cannot detect even a carrier, May 22 at 1216 and later; while XEOI 6010, Radio Mil had its usual fair signal at this hour, with music on Saturday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA. 5930, R. Rossii, Petropavlovsk/Kamchatskiy, now with severe motorboating May 22 at 1215 such that one can barely tell there is Russian talk underneath it. What in the world are they thinking at this site, allowing this to go on for years and years? “We are totally incompetent radio engineers“? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA. 9455, open carrier with good signal at 1352 May 22, then intermittent tone tests to 1358, a sure sign of something from the CIS. 1358 back to open carrier, 1359:30 start VOR IS, 1400 open in English.

Altho 265 degrees from Pet/Kam at 14-16, this should be sufficient in the western North American mornings. However, by 1409, ChiCom echo-jamming on 9450 against Sound of Hope was getting to be a problem (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** THAILAND. I am wondering how the government`s Radio Thailand is covering the strife in Bangkok. I rather doubt it`s objective, but reception has been poor to nil. 15275 seldom audible. And nothing audible on 9890, May 22 at 1248, no tnx to VOA Greenville music splash from 9885. As a reminder, here`s the complete English schedule, from WRTH Update:

0000-0100 daily NAm     15275
0200-0230 daily NAm     15275
0530-0600 daily Eu      17655
1230-1300 daily As, Pac  9890
1400-1430 daily As, Pac  9575
1900-2000 daily Eu       7570
2030-2045 daily Eu       9680

HSK9 was extremely foolish not to insist on being relayed by Delano and Greenville as long as they exist(ed), as a condition of allowing IBB to operate the station at Udorn (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17585, VOA Greenville, Saturday May 22 at 1406 with panel discussion, which per
http://www.kimandrewelliott.com/VOA_English_to_Asia_and_ME.pdf
is On the Line, so feeds straightened out, no longer offensive rap on Music Mix. At least not on weekends. Signal not so hot; at 1417 bothered by YFR Bengali via Wertachtal on 17580. Nothing on 9760 from VOA Philippines during this hour on weekends; why not?

1427 to US Government editorial, which finished a few seconds just in time before 1430* after which a much weaker VOA Botswana signal was detectable on 17585.

So fans of VOA Editorials must get used to new times for them, formerly :55 past certain hours. Kim`s sked shows :25 past: at 1225, 1425, 1725, 1925, 0125, but only Saturday/Sunday; and really at :27 past. When they were at five till, usually ran short and had to insert fill. Are the eds really only once a week now or inserted elsewhere into weekday programming? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9385, WWRB with Brother Scare`s Sabbath, May 22 at 1341, putting usual scratchy buzz on WTJC 9370 and FEBC 9400. A respite at next check 1409 as WWRB was missing, working on the problem? I seriously doubt it. Dave loses no love for WTJC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1513 monitoring: Saturday May 22 at 1338 fair on WRMI 9955, and no jamming audible. At 1643 loud and clear on WWCR-2 12160. Next scheduled airings on WWCR are: UT Sun 0230 on 4840, 0630 on 3215, 2330 on 9890, Mon 0330 on 5890 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. I finally remembered May 22 to identify the “cowboy music show“ I had run across months before on KGGF 690 Coffeyville KS, Saturday at 11 am CT.

After ABC news, started at 1605:30 UT, “Chronicle of the Old West“, weekly edition. So there is also a daily edition, and both are available on demand, details here
http://www.chronicleoftheoldwest.com/the-radio-show2.shtml

Mentioned they had just added a new affiliate, KRLL in California, Missouri. WTFK? I have to look it up in FCC AM Query: 1420 kHz. Now we only have to listen to it for 168 hours to find out the time.

Looking for a complete affiliate list, but all I find is this journal which mentions a number of them in passing: http://www.chronicleoftheoldwest.com/on_the_road_journal2.shtml

COTOW, hosted by a guy named Dakota Livesay (live with a short I), originates in Show Low, Arizona, which is a neat town I have visited a number of times, now uninfested by William Cooper. But don`t forget your papers.

Listening to this week`s show on KGGF, it`s talk rather than music, including a long interview about Amanda Blake, Gunsmoke actress as Miss Kitty (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** CHILE. Yet another problem with a CVC transmitter, this time the one in Spanish on 17680: May 23 at 1257 found matching modulation spur spikes at plus and minus 65 kHz = 17745 and 17615. At least these are concentrated and not spreading over the entire range like CR [q.v.] from 15170. (It goes without saying that WWRB was splattering too from 9385 on 9370 and 9400.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake May 23:
8400, nothing, nor on 9 MHz band
10420, fair at 1248, very good at 1315 but went off at 1316*
11500, fair at 1248 and 1314 // 10420
12800, VG at 1351 // 12970
12970, VG at 1351 // 12800
13000, VG at 1250 and 1309, not // 10420; off by 1351

13320, VG at 1250 // 13000 but not the lowers
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COSTA RICA [and non]. May 22 I again checked out 17850 for more unID DRM tests. Not today, probably because it`s Saturday, but plenty more of interest from REE. Tune-in 17850 at 2042 to find big AM carrier, with hum and some hash on hi side, but no programmatic modulation. Even without DRM, this signal overshadows WYFR on 17845; with lots of open space on 16m, they should never have attempted such neighborliness. Then 17850 cut off for a minute at 2043*-*2044; 2046 added modulation, a show called “Hispanorama“.

This was axually a series of brief modules with closing, pause and re-opening every few minutes, evergreen topix such as art, the Second Republic, etc. At 2100 I compared to 17595 direct from Spain and found other programming running there (in plain Castilian, not portullano as on weekdays). At 2113 I also compared to much weaker 11815 and 9765 and found the odd programming was also running on those Cariari channels // 17850.

Suddenly, at 2120, Hispanorama stopped and the three rejoined feed from Madrid in progress, // 17595 and weak 17755 but with the usual satellite delay a second or so after them. So Hispanorama was backup programming from the site for whenever feed from Spain be lost. Another direct frequency with much bigger signal in // was 15110.

After 2200 they were all in a world music show, sounded African, then at 2231 discussing jud?os argentinos and their music. Per this program grid
http://programasdx.com/principal_archivos/parrillaree10.pdf
at 2200-2300 UT Saturdays it is “Mundofon?as“; and before 2200 is “Tablero Deportivo“, which normally would have been filled by silly ballgames, but none this Saturday evening, or they ended earlier.

Next morning May 23: 15170 CR back on with extremely strong signal at 1254 just as “Amigos de la Onda Corta“ was ending. Unfortunately it`s distorted on the fundamental and splattering modulation spikes as far as 15000 to 15330, worsening closest to 15170. 1353 still doing it altho more like plus/minus 100 kHz range (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [non]. 11845, at 1310 Sunday May 23, atop jamming, R. Mart? again talking about Mark Twain, no doubt playback of the same show I heard previously. They pointedly remarked that Twain was known for satirizing American foibles. (Something the humorless DentroCuban Revolutionaries would never do about themselves.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. 6120, NHKWNRJ via Sackville, May 23 at 1219 during World Interactive, with new monthly feature`s second outing by a guy from South Dakota who is teaching English in Japan, “Dotchi“, which involves surveying website visitors on different topix, this month: should holidays be shifted to they don`t bunch up causing congestion? (There were three or four in a row in early May`s Japan.). Said to go to http://www.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/dotchi

Dotchi means decide and it`s running in all their languages, including English:
https://www.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/dotchi/top/english/index.html

No mention of the SD guy on that website, but he outroed as Jeff Otto(?), to be back next month (on the fourth Sunday, evidently). 1224 back to YL host who mentioned they are still doing a haiku feature (presumably on the first Sundays), and plugged contest prompted by 75th anniversary of R. Japan (make that R. Tokyo! From the Japanese Empire, pre-WWII), “What is Radio Japan to me?“. Deadline July 15; entries may be in several forms, including plain essays; see website. Then to mailbag including a French harmonica player whose website is http://pierredacquin.com There he`s selling his CDs, but I don`t see any samples (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH. 13760, May 22 at 2111, unmistakable style and accent in English of VOK zombie, fair signal blustering about South Korean traitors provoking war. It seems the 13 MHz area is currently in a narrow band between the LUHF and the MUF at this time of day from E Asia to C North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6045, XEXQ-OC still missing Sunday May 23 at 1215 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. Two of our irregular AM stations are missing again, May 22 at 2015 UT: 1580, KOKB Blackwell, back to open carrier, and same an hour later; last few days whenever checked the revived audio had been unpleasantly overmodulated and distorted.

1120, KEOR Sperry-Catoosa-Tulsa, still absent, no modulation or carrier. Ditto for both at next check 1604 UT May 23 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SUDAN [non]. 13600, 0510 May 23, good signal with `Horn of Africa` music, into Arabic(?) interview on phone. But it`s R. Dabanga, via Madagascar, for Sudan, which is not exactly on the HOA, 0430-0527 at 330 degrees, thus also USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9265, WINB with Martha Garvin`s “Musical Memories“, May 23 at 1242 accompanying herself on piano as she sang “I Shall Not Be Moved“ and “That Train“, i.e. civil rights protest songs, imagine that. Next check at 1317 heard a less talented singer with portative organ accompaniment caterwauling “The Battle Hymn of the Republic“ followed by sermon about Micah. Sounds like the Filipina who has decided she should evangelize American ex-colonialists. Naturally, WINB`s screwed-up program sked on its own website is no help, showing Martha only at some completely different time, and wrong ET/UT conversion so that Sunday at `1400` it`s “Living the Bible“ or at `1300` “Call to Worship“ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VENEZUELA [non]. Another no-show from El Hugazo, checking “Alo, Presidente“ frequencies via Cuba, Sunday May 23 at 1604: nothing on 17750, 13750, 13680, 12010, 11690. RHC itself was audible on 11730, 11760, 12030, 15380 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Mike Huckabee of Fox (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANTARCTICA. I continue to fear LRA36 has gone silent again; can anyone confirm still hearing it? Once again on Monday May 24, 15476 without even a carrier at 1225, 1338 tho the 15480 stations were detectable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake May 24:

9360, fair at 1253, gone at 1257

More jamming: 15330, May 24 at 1303, noise/buzz plus CNR1 audio // 15285 and 15265. This is contra BBC Uzbek via Thailand at 1300-1330, and all gone after 1330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also EAST TURKISTAN

** COSTA RICA. 15170, REE relay, again overmodulated and splattering spikes roughly between 15000 and 15300, May 24 at 1228; but at 1304 they must have tweaked something as the spikes were gone, also at 1325.

This may well be the new DRM/AM transmitter, now scheduled with DRM only at 00-02 on 9625-9630-9635, and confirmed by Rafael Rodr?guez, Colombia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. Several CRI morning language services to Europe audible on 16m at para-solstitial nightmiddle, May 24 at 0605-0611; figured they would all be transpolar via Kashgar, and Aoki confirms that:

17865, at 0605 French ID, contact info, intro economic news with Pink Floyd, 308 degrees
17720, at 0611 in German, 308 degrees
17680, at 0607, Spanish news by YL, 294 degrees
17650, at 0608 in Chinese, 308 degrees
17540, at 0610, English discussion of China/US relations, 173 degrees
17515, at 0609, Italian news, strange accent, 298 degrees
17485, at 0609, too weak to tell but listed as Arabic, 269 degrees

R. Free Asia via NMI in Mandarin was also in on 17880 and 17615, and did not notice any jamming, strangely enough. 21 MHz not making it this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6045, XEXQ-OC, SLP, still missing for the third morning in a row, not even a carrier May 24 at 1230. Juli?n Santiago D?ez de Bonilla in the DF agrees it`s off and is trying to find out why (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. Another error in the WRTH A-10 update: Emisi?n Sefarad from REE, Monday 1425-1455 on “15325“. That`s what comes from believing station info rather than real monitoring, as I have reported again and again, it`s on 15385, reconfirmed May 24 at *1425 after IS, fanfare opening, and at the moment correctly announcing 15385 while she too used to believe 15325 was right.

Still claims to be on 11795 for the S American repeat at 0115 UT Tuesdays, yet to be confirmed by anyone`s monitoring whether there or buried by Brasil on 11780; and 0415 Tuesdays to North America on 9650, as we confirmed already March 30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Good day to all. It is always a very happy sensation when the phone rings and at the other side, is someone who got you phone somehow and is calling to say, “I am interested in Short Wave Would you help me” ? That is what? occurred to me today. A man placed me a call very much interested in Short Wave. I maybe 30 minutes I gave him a crash course on the topic and promised to call him back again.

One of the questions he asked is, related to the SWL License (I have one of those) A nice thing to have and hang at the shack ( we all love that)

The point is that I can remember how I got this license. Can anyone help me on this so I can pass this info to this gentleman please?

Luigi,

There is no such thing as a “SWL License“. Fortunately, no license is required to listen! At least not outside the most repressive communist regimes, mostly of the past.

There was once a fad which I hope has passed for SWLs to obtain a `call sign` like licensed radio amateurs must have in order to transmit, which for them is logical.

Several individuals and companies saw a money-making opportunity and starting issuing such made-up alfa-numeric SWL callsigns for a price; which have no legal standing whatsoever.

If your caller really feels his own name is insufficient for him to be known by, tell him to make up any combination of random letters and numbers and put them after or instead of his name, even have them printed on a framable certificate, if that makes him feel good. Google them first to see if they already mean or lead to something or someone else. Probably should not be something already used as a password.

73, Glenn Hauser

Wolfy,

Are you referring to the traditional music-only jammers, or are some of these CNR1 network audio jammers, which are not music-only? I don`t hear much of either during that time period, but it`s unusual for Firedrake to be on some of those inband frequencies when I do hear jamming, e.g. 11785, around 1300 always with CNR1.

Hi Luigi,

To get a free SWL call sign, go to :

http://members.shaw.ca/swarl/sld006.htm

You will also get a free certificate in pdf format thru email.

It has no legal standing but will help you to register with qrz.com &
eqsl.cc if you are interested in listening on amateur bands & chasing for
qsl’s.

Good day to all. It is always a very happy sensation when the phone rings and at the other side, is someone who got you phone somehow and is calling to say, “I am interested in Short Wave Would you help me” ? That is what occurred to me today. A man placed me a call very much interested in Short Wave. I maybe 30 minutes I gave him a crash course on the topic and promised to call him back again.

One of the questions he asked is, related to the SWL License (I have one of those) A nice thing to have and hang at the shack ( we all love that)

The point is that I can remember how I got this license. Can anyone help me on this so I can pass this info to this gentleman please?

Best 73s
Luigi
