1242 25 AUG, 2212 UTC, IRAN, IRIB National program, // to all the other frequencies carrying it. Poor signals with a deep fade. No sign of Oman.

1251 25 AUG, 2210 UTC, IRAN, IRIB National program with female announcer interviewing telephone caller and light instrumental music. Good signals for 100kW and alone on the channel.

1269 25 AUG, 2205 UTC, UAE, Radio Asia UAE with Hindi/Malay pops, several canned IDs and no DJ. Presumed automation. Poor signals this morning and a fluttery fade. 200kW from Ras al Khaima.

1296 25 AUG, 2202 UTC, AFGHANISTAN (US), VoA (and the rest of the propaganda stations), local BBG powerhouse here in Kabul with English news. No chance of hearing anything else on this channel unless transmitter goes off.

1323 25 AUG, 2200 UTC, IRAN, IRIB Regional, Jolfa with 50kW. daring to be different and not following the national program, heard with what can only be described as opera, mentions of Iran, and time pips on the hour under the opera music! Good signal with occasional fading.

1332 25 AUG, 2153 UTC, PAKISTAN, PBC, call-in show, // 1341, 1404. Stomping signal with 100kW but having a real showdown with co-channel Iran at 300kW. The resulting mix was fading up and down on about a cyclic 2-minute interval. One really has to question whether Iran really needs all these frequencies and high power transmitters.

1341 25 AUG, 2150 UTC, PAKISTAN, PBC, call-in show with many Aleikum Salaam’s and excited callers. Many mentions of Pakistan. Very good signals and occasional deep fade. Also only 10kW per WRTH.

1359 25 AUG, 2145 UTC, CHINA, CNR1, talks in presumed Mandarin between male and female announcer with occasional chimes breaking up the talk. Fighting with co-channel Iran for supremacy. Family Radio from Taiwan (250kW) in Tagalog heard underneath it all in quiet moments.

1404 25 AUG, 2134 UTC, PAKISTAN, PBC, Long-winded talks by male announcer with several telephone calls. Several ID’s. Presumed on late for Ramadan or because of the flooding. Good signals and alone on the channel at this time. Some deep fades. WTRH lists as 10kW.

1431 25 AUG, 2124 UTC, DJIBOUTI (US), Radio Sawa with talks. // 1548. Poor signal level, but at this time of night, the only player on the channel.
1440 25 AUG, 2116 UTC, SAUDI ARABIA, BSKSA, with General Service in Arabic. Talks with light music. Powerhouse signal and smothering everything else on channel.

1458 25 AUG, 2112 UTC, IRAN, IRIB with national program. Good signals supposedly only 10kW, peaking at S7 and some deep fades. Completely blocking any chance at Mayotte. Got them earlier in the year when Iran was off for whatever reason.

1467 25 AUG, 2110 UTC, IRAN, IRIB with national program. Fair signals.

1503 25 AUG, 2107 UTC, IRAN, IRIB with national program of traditional music. Fair signal only with no QRM.

1512 25 AUG, 2103 UTC, IRAN, IRIB Regional carrying national program with Iranian traditional music and soft talk. No sign of Saudi’s BSKSA Quran program supposed to be here with 1000kW from 1300-0300.

1539 25 AUG, 2052 UTC, UAE (US), Radio Aap Ki Dunya, with roundtable discussion in Urdu. Must have been a political talk because one of the participants was shouting angrily, and I could almost imagine him foaming at the mouth. Good signals with some moderate fading. Germany’s 700kW Evangeliums-Rundfunk heard occasionally underneath, but very weak.

1548/1548.5 25 AUG, 2048 UTC, KUWAIT (US), Radio Sawa duking it out with Iran who insists on being 500Hz higher in frequency, causing a massive heterodyne on the channel. Both running bland talk.

1575 25 AUG, 2037 UTC, UAE (US), Radio Farda, regional 800kW powerhouse running ME pop music and occasional DJ patter. Good signals with occasional deep fades.

1584 25 AUG, 2032 UTC, IRAN, IRIB Maku, running national program with male and female announcers, // with just about every other outlet on the mediumwave band. Very strong signals with minimal QRM for ony 10kW.

12585 25 AUG, 1240 UTC, GUAM (US) US Coast Guard Station NRV with SITOR/CW marker and fair signals, no interference.

Sleep was elusive last night, so I decided to do a mediumwave bandscan. I will try to do one starting from 531 this evening as Friday is the day off around these parts.

Hi Al,
thank you for the interesting loggings! I have also noticed Iran here in Finland on 1548.5 kHz. Hopefully you can tune in tonight at 1430 and 1530 to catch regional Afghan and Iranian stations. Last winter I heard Afghans on 1386 and 1500 kHz here.

BRAZIL
11805 SRDA (Super R?dio Deus ? Amor), Rio de Janeiro, 2140UT, August 25, reactivated. Week signal heard here in the middle of Europe but clearly in parallel to 11765kHz. Exact frequency: 11804.99kHz. “A Voz do Brasil” relay at 2200 but covered by VoA. This frequency (ex Radio Globo) was inactive for about one year(?). Have been trying it many times but not even a carrier detected… (Karel Honzik, CZE)

531 26 AUG, 2053 UTC, IRAN, IRIB national channel with Farsi talk and interviews. Two IRIB powerhouses sit on this frequency, one with 500kW and the other with 600kW and some audio delay making for difficult listening when they fight for the channel. Radio Algerienne program 1 occasionally heard during fades, but supposedly at half-power (300kW) during this time.

540 26 AUG, 2101 UTC, IRAN, IRIB national channel with Farsi talk and music. Two high power outlets here as well, at 200 and 300 kW, struggling for channel supremacy with PBC out of Peshawar also with 300kW. Add Kuwait’s Quran channel with 600kW into the mix and you have a pile-up requiring a loop antenna to sort out.

549 26 AUG, 2108 UTC, IRAN IRIB national channel with Farsi talks and interview. 400kW powerhouse Strong and stable signals in the absence of 1200kW China, but not // 531, 540 lending credence to WRTH statement that regional audio and national audio may often be swapped at the same site.

549 26 AUG, 2220 UTC, ALGERIA, Radio Algerienne Program 1 heard clearly in absence of Iranian audio and occasional carrier drop. Iran seemed to be having problems with its tx as power was varied all over the place, unless this Friday morning (Kabul time) is the equivalent of the Monday morning silent period back in the US.

558 26 AUG, 2114 UTC, IRAN, Radio Farhang with two men in a long-winded Farsi discussion. Local signals with no interference due to 1000kW power. Occasional music thrown into the mix.

576 26 AUG 2137 UTC, OMAN, Radio Sultanate of Oman, with radio play and announcements by male and female talent. 100kW with fair signals but a deep fade every few minutes. No sign of the 750 kW Iranian station supposed to be on this channel. Bonus!

585 26 AUG, 2147 UTC, IRAN, Radio Quran, with – you guessed it – all Quran all the time. Solid, needle-pegging signals at 600kW. Interesting live Quran reading with the crowd ooh’ing and awww’ing. The guy singing the verses could have given Rob Halford a run for his money. Even smothering the 1200kW Saudi station underneath.

594 26 AUG, 2205 UTC, IRAN, IRIB Regional from Shiraz, with a few Koranic chants and long-wided talk by male in Farsi. 400kW but still suffering from deep fades. otherwise strong signals. Possible BSKSA pilgrimage channel from Mecca with 50kW heard underneath and during fades.

603 26 AUG, 2216 UTC, IRAN, National channel with some Iranian pop music and Farsi talk. Fair signals with 50 kW and bad QRM from an unidentified carrier on 602 kHz which had an opposite fade to it as the Iranian carrier. No audio, just carrier.

612 26 AUG, 2231 UTC, EGYPT, ERTU Voice of the Arabs with male and female announcers and Arabic music. Very good signals with minimal fade. 1000kW

648 26 AUG, 2236 UTC, SAUDI ARABIA, BSKSA general program with news and PSAs. Good signals and at 2000kW, pretty much the only thing heard on-channel.

657 26 AUG, 2240 UTC, IRAN, IRIB national channel with chanting and some Quran reading. Good signals at 100kW,

4780 26 AUG, 2004 UTC, DJIBOUTI, RTV Djibouti with local music and Arabic talks. Several French words thrown in for spice when the Arabic didn’t have enough flavor. Good signals with a fluttery propagation.

That’s all for tonight. I will try to pick up with more tomorrow. I have to get some rack time, as I have some work to do on my day off.

Best 73 to all!

“Why of course the people don’t want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don’t want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” – Hermann Goering, Hitler’s #2 Man

Guyana, 3290, Voice of Guyana, 0915-0930, At tune in noted a male in English comments.
Music at 0922. Signal is poor with steady pain inducing crashes covering it. (Chuck Bolland, August 28, 2010)

Japan, 3925, Radio Nikkei1, 0925-0935, Noted a female in Japanese language comments
with music as a bridge. She is joined by a male. Lots of ARO interference here, but Nikkei1
remains audible with a fair signal. (Chuck Bolland, August 28, 2010)

Solomon Islands, 5020, SIBC, 0933-0945, At tune in noted just music for awhile. Between
music, a male comments briefly. Signal is poor. (Chuck Bolland, August 28, 2010)

Russia, 5930, GTRK(pres), Kamchatka(?), 0945-1000, Noted a male in Russian language
comments between musical selections. Signal is just poor enough that it’s difficult to copy details of comments. Also noticed the hum that has been causing poor reception of the audio. Noted a parallel signal on 5940 KHz even poorer thatn here. News presented by a male on both
outlets on the hour. (Chuck Bolland, August 28, 2010)

Russia(pres), 6075, Voice of Russia, Vladivostok(?), 1005-1031, Noted a female in steady Chinese language comments/news until 1010. At that time music is presented. Music sounds like Russian vice Chinese, but can’t be certain since the signal is threshold. At 1013, female returns with more comments. (Chuck Bolland, August 28, 2010)

Bolivia, 6134.76, Radio Santa Cruz, 1015-1035, Noted a male in Spanish comments from the start at 1015. At 1019 music is heard. At 1031 canned promos and ADs heard. Signal was poor. (Chuck Bolland, August 28, 2010)

Subject: [HCDX] Voice of East Azerbaijan

Hi,
after some discussion on the German a-dx group, the conclusion seems to be that the Tabriz regional station of Iran’s IRIB is broadcasting a special Ramadan programme on shortwave and mediumwave. Check next night; this is all somewhat still presumed status. Ramadan runs until around 9 or 10 September this year.

Presumably the schedule is:
2330-0130 UT 702, 1323, 3985 kHz
0130-0430 UT 702, 1323 kHz
Programme “Avbashdanlyq” (Voice of East Azerbaijan – IRIB Tabriz) in AZERI language
Plus FM outlets 90.4, 100.9, 105.5 MHz and Intel 902 satellite.

The website http://tabriz.irib.ir/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1646&Itemid=247
announces this broadcast for the 2009 Ramadan, and the current observations indicate that the same is true in 2010. They say that the programme runs from 4 to 9 a.m. (=UTC+4.5h), and “120 minutes” on the “overseas” service (that would be 3985). Thanks to Google Translate for improving my Farsi.

3985 has about the strength as the Voice of Croatia on the same frequency. Reception on 702 is good here in Leipzig, // 3985, but Patrick Robic in Austria reports a different Iranian programme which might stem from the Bushehr transmitter near the Persian Gulf, so beware which one it is you are getting. Yours truly observed 3985 to disappear at 0130, though hard to tell for sure with the Croatian powerhouse interfering.

702 is via the Kiashar transmitter on the Caspian Sea, usually in use for the external service for the Caucasus region. 37?24′36.33″N 50?00′44.51″E (thanks wb)

3985 is registered for the scrapped Mashhad site – wb says in fact it’s been via Kamalabad for 3 years; AOKI lists Sirjan.

Streams on the station website:
http://tabriz.irib.ir/
mms://77.36.254.170:1756 (Radio)
mms://77.36.254.170:1755 (TV)

Thanks to Patrick for bringing this up initially, and to Dirk, Wolfgang, and Mauno for greatly helping to solve this.

There is another Iranian 75m channel on 3945 (until 0100 UT). Regular Pashto service as registered??

73!

9725 29 AUG, 1642 UTC, TUNISIA, RTV Tunisienne, Sfax with long Arabic talk by man, mentioning “Iftar,” which is the first meal after sundown, I believe, and also a mention of Pakistan and Tunis. Good signals, minimal adjacent channel QRM from Voice of Vietnam on 9730.

11905 29 AUG, 1529 UTC, SRI LANKA, SLBC, start of Hindi program to India. Many IDs in English (!) by male and female announcers as: “This is Radio Ceylon calling to India.” Male announcer gave local FM rundown and seemed to get a little lost as to where the tx’ers were located. Program went into Local music and Hindi. Powerhouse signals with very little interference way underneath and slight fading. Four years and I am *still* trying to get a QSL out of these guys. It’s just complete non-response. :

So we’ve installed a couple of 20 kVA voltage regulators in the household over the past few days. The voltage was varying between 170 and 203 volts and we all decided enough was enough. While Afghanistan has come a long way with the power utility, it is being sent down from Pakistan at 220,000 VAC and the sags get very bad. An Ozzie friend of mine who works mentoring the power utility has said they are installing reactors and capacitors along the lines for equalization, but it isn’t helping many of the areas of Kabul. The difference is amazing with the regulators! I can actually sit and read without feeling like I am doing so by candlelight. Everything is much more stable. Just a few more days until my Thailand DXpedition!

Shri C.M.Jatua Launches Newly Designed Website of PIB and the”Online Application System”for Community Radio Stations

Posted: 20 Aug 2010 08:52 PM PDT

Shri C.M.Jatua, Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting, launched the Newly Designed website of Press Information Bureau at a function held here today. Speaking on the occasion, the Minister said, the newly designed website would enable media persons to access information promptly. This would facilitate timely flow of information for important events taking place within the Government. The Minister also launched the “Online Application System” for Community Radio Stations, developed by Ministry of Information and Broadcasting in association with Commonwealth Educational Centre for Asia (CEMCA).

Speaking on the occasion, Principal Director General (M&C), Smt. Neelam Kapur, mentioned though the website remained the most widely surfed information website, it had become necessary to introduce tools for providing quick, accessible quality information to the user, especially those belonging to the media. Some of the key features that had been introduced in the new website included the new colour scheme for the web-site, faster user friendly search system, placement of Urdu releases on the Home Page and the introduction of the SMS Alert System which had been introduced to alert beat correspondents regarding posting of handouts. For availing this service, it was mandatory to register with the SMS service. Principal D.G. further stated that a number of media persons were accessing high resolution print quality photographs and the rich archival material available on the site for their professional duties.

Secretary(I&B), Shri Raghu Menon, Special Secretary (I&B), Shri Uday Kumar Varma and Senior Officials of the Press Information Bureau & the Ministry were present during the function.

The web-site of PIB, pib.nic.in, was first launched in 1998. The new website launched today has the following main features:
· The new website is designed on a soothing three-colour pattern corresponding to the colours of the national flag.
· Arrangement of elements has been standardized across pages. Different elements (such as facilitations of journalists) have been grouped together.
· Urdu releases are also displayed on the Home Page in addition to English and Hindi releases/features.
· Hindi content is now available in UNICODE. This font system will, in future, obviate the need for font conversion and will be editable/viewable across platform and browsers.
· A segment has been added for video content. Presently video content is being generated through Live Web-cast of cabinet briefings and President’s /PM’s speeches at national events.
· Search has been made faster and more user friendly.
· Facility to mail particular text/graphic content to different email ID’s has been provided.
· Users can now subscribe to PIB content through RSS feeds which can be filtered on different Ministries or type of content.
· An SMS alert system has been introduced so that when a handout is posted on the site, an alert goes to the beat correspondents and others journalists who subscribe to SMS service.

Regarding the “Online Application System” for Community Radio Stations, the applicants have been encouraged to apply online by clicking the hyperlink on the Ministry’s home page www.mib.nic.in.

This is a simple software which can be accessed easily from anywhere in the country by a person who is interested to apply on line. For the benefit of the applicants a filled in model application is also available on line.
Various guidelines issued on Community Radio by the Government on Community Radio were also available on the home page of the site. All the attachments could be sent along with the application form by using open source software for which the reference link is available at the site, which compresses, optimizes and converts them into easily up-loadable PDF files. The software being used had several other advantages such as:

· The application can be simultaneously sent to Ministries concerned for quicker clearance.
· It will facilitate quicker and easier communication with the applicant organizations through their email IDs provided with the Online System.
· Ministry will get a day-to-day update on the total number of applications filed category-wise and State-wise.
· In order to bring further transparency in the system, it is also proposed to develop an on-line tracking system through which applicants can trace the status of their applications through a Pass Word and ID.

Till date, 233 LOIs have been issued by the Ministry of I & B to operate Community Radio Stations in the country. 110 organizations have been signed Grant of Permission Agreement (GOPA) with the Ministry. 82 Radio Stations have become operational. There has been a steady increase in the number of operational Community Radio Stations in the country, which has increased from 57 stations in the month of May 2010 to 82 Radio Stations in July 2010.

Unheard in Balochistan

Posted: 26 Aug 2010 01:11 AM PDT

Ironically, many in Balochistan are more familiar with the reporters and anchors of BBC Urdu radio and All India Radio than Pakistan Radio. They know their names and when to tune in for which programme. Even those who don’t understand Urdu or Hindi listen to these two stations, relying on people in their family or villages to translate.

QTH: Kabul, Afghanistan
RX: WinRadio G303e
ANT: 100m Longwire/Randomwire
ACC: Palstar MW-550P Mediumwave Preselector

4845 20 AUG, 0058 UTC, MAURITANIA, Radio Mauritanie in Arabic talk, staying on past supposed 0100 sign-off. Some Arabic prayer and French announcements after 0100 with male announcer. Probably on Ramadan schedule. Reasonably strong signal for this late in the morning, but modulation very low. QRM from CW UTE on 4844.

5040 20 AUG, 0028 UTC, INDIA AIR Kolkata in Hindi with music. Modulator shot. Beautiful carrier, but modulation distorted and unable to provide enough power to completely modulate the signal. Strong carrier, no QRM, but moderate fading.

5860 20 AUG, 0118 UTC, SRI LANKA, Radio Farda, caught in mid-music playing Uriah Heep’s Lady in Black. Immediately into Middle Eastern music after ID. Now *that* is bizarre! That’s about the last music I ever expected to hear on Farda! Surprisingly poor signals, no QRM, but heavy fluttery propagation.

9725 20 AUG, 0440 UTC, TUNISIA, RTV Tunisia, with Arabic vocals and talk. Fair signal mid-morning here, no QRM and moderate fading.

Subject: [HCDX] Djibouti on Ramadan

Hi,

Djibouti on 4780 kHz has extended its schedule by one hour, most likely because of the ongoing Ramadan. Today (20 August 2010) they aired a closing announcement and their national anthem at 2200 UTC, fell silent at 2202, tx close-down at 22:02:30. I have to listen in LSB due to strong UTE noise; but then reception is not too bad (SINPO 34333; I=1 if not in LSB).

73,
Eike

Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs August 20, 2010

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36 detectable Friday Aug 20, VP at 1325 with YL in Spanish, weaker than hettor 15480 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake August 20:
8400 and up, none found from 1310 except:
14700, JBA at 1317
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420, no signal, not even a carrier detectable from VOG, Aug 20 at 0522, tho BBC 9410 and CVC 9430 were in well; so ERT was off? But at 1328, 15630 on as usual, fair signal with heated discussion in Greek rather than music, one side on the phone; 1401 brief music and back to talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI had been chugging along just fine for the past week, English at 13-14, but Friday Aug 20 the VG signal with some hum bore no English, just Indonesian (or Malay?), at several chex, 1306, 1323, 1345, but no hindrance to the music at the latter time. Despite het from CRI Russian 9525.0 from *1357, VOI stayed on past 1400 this time, still music at 1411.

Atsunori Ishida`s almost daily monitoring of this from Japan at
http://www.max.hi-ho.ne.jp/a-ishida/ins/
does not yet include Aug 20, but he did find some other anomalies in language rotation recently: on Aug 15 there was additional English at 11 and 12 instead of Chinese and Japanese; Aug 13, extra Chinese at 1101 switched to English at 1120; Aug 9 at 1203 extra Chinese instead of Japanese.

`9525` nominally changes from 135 to a 10 degree azimuth at 11, and to 290 degrees at 16. 10 degrees carries on transiting the Arctic to cross Detroit, while Enid is about 30 degrees from Cimanggis but at 15 megameters, signal spreads out quite a bit by the time it gets here. I wonder if it`s even better in Michigan, plus NW and SE from there.

Or is Aoki correct, that all 9525 transmissions are at 30 degrees, right on Enid? That would also cross Japan, rather more likely bearing for Japanese and ESL audience (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1580, KOKB, Blackwell didn`t wait until the weekend to drop modulation and resume open carrier: Friday Aug 20 at 1525, 2000 and 2350 UT chex. I hope others in neighboring states will monitor 1580 Saturday 1300-1400+ UT for the Spanish sportstalk unID I have been getting for weeks on 1580, only on Saturdays at this time (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PORTUGAL [and non]. 21810, Aug 20 at 1337, very poor signal but OSOB, with what sounded like “praise music“, i.e. one-note pitch shifts back and forth, language uncertain, English or Spanish? Gone or faded out by 1355 check. I vaguely recalled that one of the US gospel-huxters formerly used this frequency, WHRI? So trying it again? No, only one station is currently scheduled, RDPI eastward M-F at 13-15, so I suppose that was it, with misleading music. By 1356, there were JBA signals on 21570, 21610, i.e. copeninsular SPAIN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 17615 // 17625, Aug 20 at 1331 in Qur`an, slightly better on the latter and also // weaker 17895, but not // 17705, separate Arabic program which was best of all but only fair. But at 1359 past 1400, 17615 continued with Qur`an while 17625 was gone.

This all fits for BSKSA 500 kW Riyadh scheduling. One transmitter on 17615 at 100 degrees switches from 17615 to 17625 at 1200-1400, but a second transmitter comes on 17615, 190 degrees at 1300-1600, while VP 17895 is 295 degrees at 1200-1500. And 17705 is Program I, 1200-1500 at 310 degrees, the only one of these aimed USward, but really for Europe.

Also JBA seems Arabic on 21505 at 1357, must be BSKSA as scheduled 12-15; could not detect them on 21460, 21530, 21600 or 21640, also scheduled at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [non]. 15170, REE via COSTA RICA, usually has big signal aimed 340 degrees USward, but Aug 20 at 1319 almost equal CCI from something in Russian, i.e. BBC via Woofferton, scheduled here from 1300, 300 kW at 70 degrees. At least it`s a sign of possibly improving conditions from Europe. See also PORTUGAL.

But by 1405 REE definitely atop starting “Paisajes y Sabores“, traipsing senderos inc?gnitos, including C?rdoba, Andaluc?a; Cordillera Pirenaica (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 15450, VOT, fair Aug 20 at 1323, sign-off English and IS played twice before carrier-off, an improvement over yesterday, only once. But there are multiple piano variations to the same tune, some of them quite subtle.

As of 2300 UT Aug 20, the latest English audio linked on TRT website is still for Aug 17, so I can`t check whether there was a “Live from Turkey“ on Thursday Aug 19. Webmaster on holiday? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15550-USB, WJHR, Aug 20 at 1402, poor with preacher about government, Jesus being king whether we vote for him or not. Please! We had enough of divine-right monarchies by 1776y (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 13710, Aug 20 at 0532, SSOB in African-accented French, news of Africa including Niger; cholera in Nigeria. Don`t recall hearing this before, but soon refers to “les nouvelles en direct de Washington“ and VOA is scheduled 305 degrees via MADAGASCAR, M-F 0530-0600.

7550, Aug 20 at 1414, weak talk, only third signal left on 40m band following WWCR 7490, RA 7240; o yes, it`s via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, VOA`s Indonesian service on Thu-Fri-Sat only, mostly US pop music, I thought; with ACI from 7546, see UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9512v, Aug 20 at 1303 as I am approaching Indonesia, distracted by the unique raspy voice of Brother Scare, hetting something weak on 9515 and the het is varying. BS is on three intentional 31m channels at this time, 9265 WINB, 9385 WWRB and 9980 WWCR, but since none are synchronized, 9512 audio only matches 9385, yet another defect of this transmitter. Did not find such a spur on the other side, on 9258. Previous spurs from this have been wide distorted blobs rather than precise carriers with readable modulation. At the same time, PPPP on WTWW 9479 was overloading as far as 9512 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 630, again clear of WWLS OK IBOC from 640, Aug 20 at 1530 and 1700 chex on caradio in western Enid, weak talk including news at 1700, but too much T-storm QRN from westward. WWLS turns off IBOC unpredictably and this has nothing to do with when there is live play-by-play as some stations do, to avoid AM/IBOC asynchrony.

Maybe someday everything will mesh: no IBOC, lo noise, good daytime propagation and I can definitely ID 630 as KHOW Denver on groundwave. There still may be weaker IBOC from the other side, the mickey-mouse station in the Metroplex, KMKI 620, hijacked from Wichita Falls, ex-KWFT, once a full-service station which even put me on the p-mailing list for their program schedules (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7544-USB, Aug 20 at 1415, Spanish 2-way with pauses, QRMing VOA 7550 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

I hope others in neighboring states will monitor 1580 this Saturday at 1300-1400+ UT (8-9+ am CDT) for the Spanish sportstalk unID I have been getting for weeks on 1580, only on Saturdays at this time.

WTTN in Wisconsin is probably carrying ESPN Deportes, but I really think it is closer, and not a full-time Spanish station, maybe running this by mistake.

Thanks, Glenn Hauser, Enid OK

** ANGUILLA [and non]. This could be a good evening for hearing something else on 6090: at 0052 UT past 0100 Aug 21, no Anguilla; instead, DGS still on day frequency 11775, in huge collision with DentroCuban Jamming Command and Radio Mart?, making SAH of about 5 Hz too. Rather self-defeating; but then, he`s dead. // 5935 via WWCR, shortly with PMS instead; she`s alive. Still same clash at 0146.

After 0300, RM and (most of?) the jamming are gone from 11775, and Caribbean Beacon is still on 11775 at 0312 with DGS; rather weak and now the problem is Bras?lia, still going on 11780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COSTA RICA [and non]. 5954, 0139 Aug 21, carrier is still on this off-frequency, but cannot make out any modulation vs WYFR on 5950, apparent jamming on hi side. Presumably the ELCOR test-transmission from Gu?piles, Costa Rica, but are they still carrying Radio Republica? That had been running since 2300 on 9490 via Sackville, with heavy jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 9495, Aug 21 at 0206, speaker in American accent fooled me at first, a VOA service? Hardly: VIRI likes to put such accents on the air from dissidents; some propaganda about US intelligence, with poor studio miking, or boomy room, plus music bed to make it that much harder to follow thru the ionosphere.

0211 ID as “Voice of Justice, Live from Tehran“, so these poor announcers really have to work from 5 to 6 am local?? “Coming up next: The Collapse of Global Imperialism“, quoting someone from the New School in New York. At least we still have regional imperialism. This and other logs 0200-0300+ on indoor longwire due to T-storm nearby (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MAURITANIA. 4845, something there Aug 21 at 0141, presumably ORTM on extended 24h? Ramadan schedule, but too much WWCR from 4840 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO [and non]. 6185, at 0134 Aug 21, no Portuguese, just Spanish, so XEPPM, apparently remote report about Huapango, M&W conversing in the open, but audio cutting off and on, mostly off. There have been reports of RNA back on 6185, but not now, it seems, tho certainly there on 11780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA [and non]. 9665, VOR English via Pridnestrovye, poor Aug 21 at 0205 with het, probably from off-frequency Brasilian rather than North Korean at this hour. 7440 via Ukraine not any better. 15425 via DVR not propagating. Meanwhile, VOR Spanish on 9735 is loud and clear, since this favored service gets to use the Guiana French relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11520, WEWN English transmitter is still putting out swishy spurs plus and minus 10 kHz. Aug 21 at 0146 I am hearing one QRMing WYFR 11530 in Portuguese, but WYFR has a // free of it right up the dial at 11550. WEWN spur also audible with BFO on 11510 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN [and non]. UT August 21 compared the VR relays to North America, going from French to English at 0250 on 7305 and 9610.

7305 Santa Maria di Galeria cut off the air at 0249:03 while French was still speaking; back on with better signal via Sackville about a semiminute later with IS briefly, 0250 opening English show about Pius X.

9610 Bonaire, au contraire, had an overlap of a few sex before 0250 with ripple SAH, then clear via Sackville only and // synchronized 7305 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Meanwhile, VOR Spanish on 9735 is loud and clear, since this favored service gets to use the Guiana French relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake Aug 21:
8400, poor at 1250
None others heard up to 18 MHz before 1300 or after 1308, but search less thorough than usual as I was concentrating on the 1580 Spanish unID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [non]. 13740, CRIEnglish via CUBA, Aug 21 at 1407 is interviewing Tavi (sp?) from Radio 86 in Estonia about a singing festival there and Estonian music in general. Radio 86 is their `partner` (front?) station in Nordic area thru which CRI broadcasts via 963 kHz Pori, Finland, starting last year. http://www.radio86.com/ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PHILIPPINES. 7225, VOA Korean via Tinang, Aug 21 at 1245 was putting out wide spurs from modulation spikes, covering approx. 7275-7295, 7155-7175, and 7095-7120, i.e. centered plus/minus 60 and 120 kHz; altho could not hear them around 7345, perhaps masked by other signals in the area. This transmitter is on the air 1200-1400, 250 kW, 21 degrees, same azimuth as a number of other broadcasts carrying on well to NAm, such as 9760 English at 12/15; and // Korean on 11935 at 13-15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. 6297.1, SASASAM, already on the air when I tuned in, 0558 Aug 21, music mixed with talk; 0600 3-pip timesignal 38 seconds late, anthem on tinny band, dead air, 0602 YL announcement and into OM chanting. Wonder how much before 0558 they were on? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 1580, KOKB Blackwell OK, still in weekend open-carrier mode Sat Aug 21 at 1240, facilitating monitoring of what else is on frequency by suppressing noise level with no annoying modulation of its own. Several stations in English mixing before 1300 UT.

1302 I hear the first traces of Spanish too, on the E-W 110-foot longwire. 1305 I switch to the longer NW/SE wire which picks up less local noise, and favors KREL in CO, soon mentioning Longmont studios. But no more Spanish made out on either antenna in next semihour.

At 1333 I try the DX-398 in the yard, and now I hear Spanish, OM interviewing YL; this is best in the KOKB null, but I cannot get a definite DF on the SS station. 1340 I am back on the E/W antenna as the Spanish host announces a `pausa` followed by screaming ad or promo. Briefly better on the NW/SE antenna but so is KREL with the Home (based) Business Radio Show, mention Radio Colorado network. 1345 losing Spanish; 1348 back briefly; 1349+ no further Spanish heard. Just before 1359 KREL ID but it`s losing out too, 1400 USA Radio News. So much for the 1580 Spanish mystery this week. I hope someone else gets something more definite (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Fiji democracy group planning pirate radio
By Roger Maynard

In a move inspired by pirate radio stations of the 1960s, political activists in the South Pacific are planning to position a Dutch-registered merchant vessel in international waters off the coast of Fiji to defy censors in the military dictatorship.
Opponents of the coup leader and self-appointed Prime Minister, Commodore Frank Bainimarama, hope to have the station broadcasting news and interviews by the end of next month to circumvent draconian media laws imposed on press, radio and television.
Since taking power in a military coup in December 2006, Fiji’s strongman has slowly eaten away at the country’s democratic freedoms, installing newsroom censors and cracking down on foreign media ownership.
Newspapers and radio stations now have to be 90 per cent locally owned, a stipulation that will almost certainly see the closure of the 140-year-old Fiji Times.
The popular title, which has been owned by News Ltd since 1987, has been emasculated since the censors moved in to demand the removal of any anti-government stories.
With most of the population too poor to access the internet or satellite television, most Fijians rely on the press and transistor radios for their news. That is why Usaia Waqatairewa of the Fiji Democracy Movement has opted for pirate broadcasting.
Now exiled in Australia, he plans to stream live programming to the ship from a Sydney newsroom and rebroadcast the material from a transmitter on the AM waveband. “The basic purpose is to inform the public of what’s really happening in Fiji so they can make an informed decision about whether to support Bainimarama or not,” he said.
Even the phones no longer guarantee confidentiality since the Government ordered mobile and landline users to register all their personal details. One local carrier, Vodafone, is also demanding that customers provide a left-hand thumb print and PIN, which the user would normally keep secret.
The head of the Justice Ministry, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, claims the compulsory registration of all phones is the result of a spate of bomb threats and bogus calls. Critics suggest it is more to do with the interim Government wanting to create a database of callers whose views do not correspond with the regime’s.
Telephone paranoia even extends to some tourists. A German businessman who used his satellite phone in a restaurant recently was reported to the police, who promptly raided his hotel room. He left the country in disgust shortly afterwards.
So far, such stories have not damaged tourism, which is one of the few Fijian industries still booming. A devalued currency and a strong Australian dollar have made Fiji a bargain destination for overseas holidaymakers.
But while the tourists are still heading to Fiji, businesses are pulling out. Australia’s Commonwealth Bank has sold its Fijian arm, and Qantas is trying to sell its 46 per cent stake in Fiji’s national airline, Air Pacific. Despite these economic warning signals, Commodore Bainimarama remains determined to do things his way. He has promised to go to the country in 2014 but as he has repeatedly postponed his general election plans, few believe he will keep his word.
And if an application for a loan of more than $700 million from the IMF fails, “the country’s economic outlook will be shocking”, says Anthony Bergin of the Australian Strategic Policy Unit.

CRACKDOWN LEADS TO POVERTY AND FEAR
Fiji has had four coups in the past two decades and is facing an economic crisis that threatens to bring more instability to the 800,000 people who inhabit this sprawling archipelago.
And there are concerns about human rights as Commodore Frank Bainimarama cracks down on those who oppose his dictatorship.
In a rare interview aired by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation last month, the military leader said “we’ll need to shut some people up” before the country can return to democracy. “I don’t trust the people,” declared the Prime Minister, adding that he was none too happy about politicians or the judiciary, either.
After silencing the powerful Methodist Church and the chiefs who are the traditional rulers of this fiercely patriotic nation, Commodore Bainimarama sacked many judges.
Suspended from the Commonwealth, Fiji risks becoming a pariah in the region.
The Prime Minister also recently expelled Australia’s acting high commissioner to Fiji.
The reforms he talks about strike at the heart of Fiji’s racially divided society. For many years, about half the population was of Indian origin, descendants of indentured labourers brought to Fiji in the 19th century to help in the sugar industry. Faced with eviction from their farms after their leases expired, thousands of Indians have sought refuge overseas while many of those unable to leave have ended up in squatter camps.
When Commodore Bainimarama seized power he promised a fairer society, with legislation designed to protect the interests of the Indian community. But unemployment, poverty and fear have created a society whose people are often too scared to talk.

UZBEKISTAN, Tashkent VOLMET, 10090, no data thank you QSL with picture of Tashkent Intercontinental Hotel in 56 days for airmail report and US $2.00 return postage. V/s Renat Grenaderov, Communication Leading Engineer-Inspector, grenad@rambler.ru Address used: 13 Lokomotivnaya Street Tashkent 100167.

Some people might regard the address, V/s and email data on the utility stations to be overkill, but I know I always have a hell of a time finding the information, so I pass it along in the hopes that someone, someday may compile a utility QSL address book. I have yet to find one. Besides that, if it helps someone else get a QSL, then the extra bytes are worth it!

Many of the utility stations I hear are on frequencies not listed in the 2009/2010 Klingenfuss book either. I am rather surprised at that, since I was led to believe it was the latest and greates list…

Subject: [HCDX] Logs for Al Muick – possible ERRATUM

This morning I reported a tentative logging of 4760 AIR Port Blair.
I received an email from Alokesh Gupta in New Delhi stating that he was hearing AIR Leh and that Port Blair had faded out at his QTH by that time.
I was using the latest AOKI database which apparently erroneously lists New Delhi on 4760, whilst the older EIBI database lists Leh.
There was some fluttery fading on the signal which I heard which does not comport with the signal quality of other stations of mainland India which I hear, so I am momentarily at a loss. I will continue monitoring to see what I hear tomorrow, checking sign-on times and signal levels.
Thanks, Alokesh, for pointing out these things and I hope that we will shortly get to the bottom of this mystery!

VOA Khmer service celebrates 55th anniversary of first broadcast

Posted: 16 Aug 2010 08:38 PM PDT

Washington, D.C., August 16, 2010 – VOA’s Khmer Service is marking its 55th anniversary, with veteran broadcasters recalling the monumental events that shaped the news in those years, from the Vietnam War, to the genocide of the Khmer Rouge regime and the birth of a constitutional monarchy.

Khen Chen, who retired in 2007, says of her 45-year career, “I’m very proud of working for VOA Khmer, there was something new every day, it was a blessing.”
In her first years, Chen says, nearly every newscast by the Khmer Service was dominated by U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. In 1975 the Khmer Rouge seized power and VOA reported on the darkest days of Cambodian history, the genocide and starvation that left from one to three-million people dead, a period that saw the birth of the term, “killing fields.”
Chen was a student at an all-girls high school in Phnom Penh, Cambodia when she spotted a job advertisement for Voice of America in 1962 and began a life-long career broadcasting to her homeland.
During a guest appearance by Chen on Monday’s Khmer radio show, listeners called in thrilled to hear her voice back on the air. “Ang Khen (Chen’s on-air name) is such a well-known personality,” said show host Sothearith Im, “it is wonderful that she is able to celebrate with us.”

Although the service first went on the air in August of 1955, it was dropped after several months and reintroduced again in 1962. Since then, VOA Director Danforth W. Austin says, “the Khmer Service has continuously served as a source of trustworthy information on the region and the world to Cambodians.” Today the staff reaches millions of people through radio, television and the internet.

Radio Free Asia issues 14th Anniversary QSL Card

Posted: 19 Aug 2010 07:35 PM PDT

Radio Free Asia (RFA) announces the release of 14th anniversary QSL card. RFA’s first broadcast was in Mandarin on September 29, 1996 at 2100 UTC. This card will be used to confirm all valid reception reports from September 1 -December 31, 2010. The design is a simple photo collage made from a small sample of the many stories RFA has covered in the past 14 years. Acting as a substitute for indigenous free media, RFA concentrates its coverage on events occurring in and/or affecting the countries to which it broadcasts. Those countries are: Burma, Cambodia, Laos, North Korea, Peoples Republic of China, and Vietnam.

RFA is a private, nonprofit corporation that broadcasts news and information to listeners in Asian countries where full, accurate, and timely news reports are unavailable. Created by Congress in 1994 and incorporated in 1996, RFA currently broadcasts in Burmese, Cantonese, Khmer, Korean to North Korea, Lao, Mandarin, the Wu dialect, Vietnamese, Tibetan (Uke, Amdo, and Kham), and Uyghur. RFA strives for accuracy, balance, and fairness in its editorial content. As a ’surrogate’ broadcaster, RFA provides news and commentary specific to each of its target countries, acting as the free press these countries lack. RFA broadcasts only in local languages and dialects, and most of its broadcasts comprise news of specific local interest.

More information about Radio Free Asia, including our current broadcast frequency schedule, is available at http://www.rfa.org/. RFA encourages listeners to submit reception reports. Reception reports are valuable to RFA as they help us evaluate the signal strength and quality of our transmissions. RFA confirms all accurate reception reports by mailing a QSL card to the listener.

RFA welcomes all reception report submissions at http://www.techweb.rfa.org/ (follow the QSL REPORTS link) not only from DX’ers, but also from its general listening audience. Reception reports are also accepted by email at qsl@rfa.org, and for anyone without Internet access, reception reports can be mailed to:

Bolivia, 6134.82, Radio Santa Cruz, 0900-0950, Noted a brief program of religious service. This was followed with a flute type interval signal. At 0901 opening canned ID “… Radio Santa Cruz …”. Music follows with a tune about Radio Santa Cruz. Another canned ID, then more music. Finally at 0908, a male in live Spanish comments opens the programming. This all was the same format heard on Saturday morning at 0900. Usually, the signal is buried in the noise, but the last couple of days it’s been a different story. The quality of the signal has been good at least for the first 20 minutes after 0900 UTC. (Chuck Bolland, August 15, 2010)

Bolivia, 4795.84, Radio Mallku (Radio Lipez),(TENT), 0950-1000, Regretably there’s some confusion here by me. EIBI says Lipez as the name of this station and AOKI says it’s Mallku. At this time there’s so much noise from the atmosphere that it’s difficult even to hear the signal let alone any details or names. Noted a female in Spanish comments between music selections.

** CHINA. Firedrake [non], August 15:
Nothing found 8-16 MHz 1315-1343 — except:

14970, a regular FD frequency, instead had continuous Chinese talk at 1335. Was it really Sound of Hope? Of course not! // 11990, 11805, 11785, so CNR1 jammer is running instead. No trace of another station on 14970. Recheck 1359, still talk, without the usual CNR1 produxion hype, probably subdued due to National Day of Mourning; 4-pip timesignal and off at 1400* sharp, and still no trace of even a carrier from SOH; still off at final check 1420 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 9690, AIR GOS, Aug 15 at 1338 heard regular news announcer, not live coverage of President`s Independence Day speech, as presumably on most/all AIR domestic SW outlets. Poor reception, usual hum, and hard to follow on 9690, but barely audible 9870 not // and nothing on 9425, let alone tropical bands at this hour. At 1353 heard some military band, commands yelled, commentary from studio; 1355 speech by OM [?] in reverby locale, alternating with YL studio commentary, so is this now live coverage? Or does AIR GOS repackage due to scheduling restraints. Ron Howard says the Hindi version aired on 9425 and tropical channels at 1330, English version from 1353. And he refers us to http://presidentofindia.nic.in/sp140810-2.html
for text of her full speech (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1580, KOKB Blackwell, had resumed open carrier, Sunday Aug 15 at 1344 UT; underneath no Spanish but two gospel huxters mixing in English. BTW, when modulating later on Aug 14, KOKB mentioned its studios in downtown Stillwater, so both it and KOKP 1020 Perry are merely relays of 105.1 KOSB. Also, a small correxion to my Aug 14 report: ESPN Deportes show Mano a Mano is on their schedule as 9 am (EDT), not 10 am, and 1300+ UT is when I was hearing it. I hope next Saturday at 13-14+ UT some other DX listeners in adjacent states will check 1580 for Spanish; it`s somebody`s local or semi-local (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. KXOK-LP 32 Enid was first noted off the air Aug 14, and continued missing Aug 15 — have they reached the point of closing down analog for good? You never know with this erratic operation.

KXOK-LD is on 31 with 40 watts, CP for 3.7 kW, but with a little tropo, on 31 we get Univisi 1000 kW from Derby/Wichita, almost north, better than KXOK from a sesquimile away. It`s far too weak to block DX. UT Aug 15 at 0400 I rotated the antenna to see if KXOK-LD was still operational. Yes, but antenna positioning is very touchy, and still get best signal from off the direct path! — more toward N Enid. Unless station has really an unauthorized second site for the DTV antenna, this must be an anomaly of propagation. Perhaps the best signal with least multipath is reflecting off some struxure, altho there doesn`t appear to be anything except some trees possibly in the way direct.

At 0400 UT, KXOK-LD 31 was running RTV`s Off Beat Cinema. Altho it was hard for me to keep a decode on direct antenna, it was OK to the local cable headend which is only a couple blox away from the listed transmitter site, and has an outside receiving antenna aimed right at the 40 watts.

Suddenlink, which converted to digital last month, is still sending basic channels only down the line in analog, 2-22 with some blanx, but higher ones have been deleted, except ch C70, which is EWTN, for some strange reason, and the home-shoppers on 98 and 99, which are really in the FM band. This includes KXOK on C15 analog, as well as C15 digital. I found these were running about one word apart, DTV behind analog, but both were seven seconds behind my direct DTV on 31. Apparently cable systems are required to keep basic channels only available in analog. This includes all the off-air OKC stations.

With KXOK off 32, that leaves us with NO analog TV signals into the antenna. When tuning for analog TVDX we can no longer punch 32 to be sure the antenna is properly connected. Next best is ch 36 Univision LP in OKC, but in dead conditions it`s hard to tell it`s there (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VENEZUELA [non]. Another Sunday without El Hugazo, SOB! Aug 15 at 1635 checking scheduled Cuban relay frequencies 12010, 13750, 17750, zilch, no “Al?, Presidente“ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

The president`s speech was on Aug 14 at 1330, as others have reported, not Aug 15, so whatever I was hearing on 9690 was a recap, or unrelated. Glenn

Radio St. Helena Day 2010? Date , Times, and Targets
Gary Walters, Station Manager of Radio St. Helena, has just confirmed the above information,
and, as usual, Derek Richards will operate the RSD shortwave transmitting facility.
There will be a special email-address exclusively for the evening of RSD 2010. As soon as Gary sets up this special email account, we will publish the account name.
The RSD 2010 QSL cards are being sponsored by the Danish ShortWave Club International.
Reception reports for RSD 2010 should be sent with sufficient return postage to RSH using the special?Airmail?address? via Ascension and the United Kingdom — exactly the same procedure
as for the RSD 2009 reception reports. ALL mail to RSH should use this procedure.
ALL 266 QSLs for RSD 2009 have been mailed and should now be arriving around the world.
The sunspot minimum between sunspot cycles 23 and 24 is the longest in history — much to the dismay of shortwave listeners everywhere. This minimum has lasted since 2007 and is still ongoing. There are not very many sunspots to “help” propagation, and there is no real sign of
significant change. The UTC-times for broadcasting to the various target area have been very carefully selected to <try to have the very best chance of good reception in each area. Also, we need?to have the RSD broadcasts one after the other.
After RSD 2009, it was decided to change the times somewhat and to move RSD from November to October (as was the case back in the late 1990’s — Thanks, John). RSH hopes that everyone around the world has excellent reception conditions?during RSD 2010 and?is looking forward
to your emails and also, if possible, to your telephone calls.

** ALASKA. 9920, KNLS IS very weak at 1501 Aug 16, about to open three(?) hours of Chinese. Have not been able to hear the only remaining English broadcast at 12-13 on 7355 for several weeks. KNLS was supposedly going to get the second transmitter working after July 31 and resume new programming in English; have they? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ALBANIA [and non]. 13755, R. Tirana, Aug 16 at 1449, M announcer mentions a new guidebook in English to archaeological sites has been released. Undermodulated but S9+20, almost enough to keep CRI/Cuba 13740 S9+30 at bay, until the latter goes from talk to music splatter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, no sign of even a carrier from LRA36, Monday Aug 16, after its usual weekend-off, including chex at 1332, 1422, 1454, tho weaker signals on either side were sometimes detectable, and many more mostly weak signals from other continents on 19m, not including Argentina 15345v, unfavored quadrant (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake August 16:
8400, fair-good at 1250
10500, poor at 1258. No others found up to 18 MHz in next hour
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11760, Aug 15 at 1347 RHC`s Spanish DX program En Contacto underway promoting contest about 50th anniversary of diplorelations with the ChiCom. So it`s back to its usual spot of 1335 UT Sundays, having been replaced (swapped?) with stamp show last week (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also VENEZUELA [non]

** CZECHIA [non]. 9955, R. Prague in French, Monday Aug 16 at 1335, H&F conversing about “le weekend“, so it`s a late repeat of the Sunday show via WRMI, fair signal and no jamming but squeezed by Taiwan transmitters on both sides plus RTTY on 9960. Prague in French is scheduled M-F 1330-1400, except JIP on Tuesdays at 1345 after English gospel huxter quarter-hour.

However, Prague in English, via WRMI daily at 1400-1430 was inaudible after 1400. Prague in French is supposed to attract listeners in Haiti, tho VOA concluded SW penetration there is negligible, canceling all its Creole broadcasts three months after the quake. Otherwise, they would likely have maintained the original 3 x 30 minutes a day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 15050, Aug 16 at 1454, chanting, poor with heavy flutter. The AIR Sinhala service southwards from Delhi until 1500. Off-route aircraft, beware (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. VOI, 9525.9 continues to enjoy very good reception in CNAm for English hour at 13-14, when everything clix. Aug 16 at 1338, slogan as “Voice of Indonesia, being first, being different, being the best“, then Music Corner, mentioning Portuguese, so maybe from Timor? Was off the air after 1400 instead of keeping het with CRI Russian.

9526- signal quality and quantity exceed RRI domestic on 9680, Aug 16 at 1410 with Qur`an, vs rippling SAH. Aoki lists Taiwan in Chinese at 11-17, which would be jammed, plus VOR in English via Pet/Kam since July 7 at 14-16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 15540, when R. Kuwait says “News in Brief“ at 2050 UT Aug 15, they really mean it. Took only three minutes for a handful of headlines, 2053 back to their beloved primary format, rock music before 2059 signing off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Results of leaving my analog TV running hour after hour on channel 2 next to the computer: Aug 15 at 2306 UT, a ch 2 fades in with Azteca 7 promo from the south, presumably XHTAU, Tampico. Fades out within a minute, and nothing on higher channels. But correlates nicely with a few contact paths on the 6m Es DX map from someone circa Ciudad Victoria, to central Missouri, etc. Estimated MUF of 53 MHz was obviously exceeded briefly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MOROCCO. 15341, RTM, stix to this off-frequency, Aug 16 at 1443 in Arabic causing het with 15340, presumably HCJB Australia S Asian service. The Arabic has a slight echo, long/short path, or deliberate on the modulation for effect and decreased SW readability?

By 1513, RTM has switched to 15345 (why not 15346?), with slight whine, I think rather than an Argie het which is often the case. They should do just the opposite, 15345 before 15, 15340 after. But then they and LRA are both out of it, not bothering with HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. UNIDENTIFIED. DTV DX is frustrating, with manual tuning on the converter, because you can often see numerous signal bars, all too weak to decode. And it`s hard to tell what direxion they are really coming from; they could be from opposite or side direxions from where aimed, if strong enough. Trying to peak them by jockeying the rotor is iffy. Aug 15 at 1508 UT aimed ENE, such are seen on 20-22-28-34-36-47-49. All but 34 and 36 are likely full-powers from the Tulsa/Muskogee/Okmulgee market which is slightly S of due E.

Checking W9WI.com, 34 could also be Tulsa, 15 kW translator formerly known as K15DA. 36 could be KRSC, nearby Claremore. There ought to be some way to pull out a PSIP ID from such weak signals, even lacking video and audio decode (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA. 15340, Aug 16 at 1549, poor carrier with flutter, intermittent Russian tune-up tones. Per Aoki, it will be VOR in Russian via Serpukhov at 16-18 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA [non]. 15565, R. Svoboda, Aug 16 at 1330 with ID, Moscow timecheck, fair. During this hour it`s 500 kW, 85 degrees via Rampisham UK, but preceding and following hours, 15565 is via Lampertheim, GERMANY; why switch back and forth? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAIPAN. 11650, Monday Aug 16 at 1259, R. Teos ID in Russian and vamping music, good at S9+20 but a semiminute later ruined by tinkling NHK IS from Sackville 11655, and then too much splatter; another Russian announcement before I fled. Checking Aoki and WRTH May Update for KFBS NMI, while 11650 is on the air earlier in Russian, and various central-Asian languages, nothing is accounted for Mondays just before 1300, but daily 1300-1330 is Kazakh, so apparently was just signing on today. Radio Teos by name is not found either, as it`s just a program within KFBS, not considered a station itself (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 17705, Aug 16 at 1450 in Arabic, poor. I was thinking this was one of the Sudanese surrogate services, but not now, merely Riyadh, BSKSA first program, to Europe and USward beyond, off by 1456 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9980, WWCR-4 now with Brother Scare, new on this frequency, Aug 16 at 1257, 1319; 1419 someone else preaching for the moment, but still Overcomer Ministry, about two words behind 9385 WWRB. 1508 check, BS is also on WINB during this hour, 9335, with heavy CCI and SAH from V. of Korea and/or R. Ashna, Kuwait — three frequencies, none synchronized. 9335 a bit less QRMed by 1556, and at 1601 WINB had switched to 13570 for two hours from Fence Lake NM.

The WWCR pdf schedule has been updated as of August 16, showing Brother Scare is now 24/7 on transmitter 4, 9980/5890! Also: Saturdays only 17-20 on 13845 and 18-21 on 12160.

?Is this reflected in BS` own SW schedule now at ftp://www.overcomerministry.org/RadioSchedule/Short%20Wave%20Radio.html
Sort of, totally botched as usual, mixing up stations and frequencies, showing 3215, 5890 and 12160 as WWRB instead of WWCR; WINB on wrong 9330.

So goodbye to everything else on WWCR-4, including the Sunday 2330 airing of WORLD OF RADIO on 9980. The four original times remain scheduled on other transmitters.

FWIW, no PPP on WWCR at all now. PMS/DGS/University Network is now:
5935: daily 00-12. 13845: Sunday 12-24; M-F 15-24; Sat 12-15, 20-24
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 15385, REE Sephardic service, Monday August 16, poor at 1430, closing fanfare cut off at 1454:45* before it could conclude, geez! There`s always the loud and clear repeat at 0115-0145 UT Tuesdays on 11795, if they keep remembering to turn on the transmitter then (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SWEDEN. 13870, Aug 16 at 1605, Farsi talk under heavy RTTY. I was expecting Israel, but Aoki lists instead R. Sweden, direct. 13870 is scheduled: M-F 1600-1630 with Persian on Mon/Tue/Wed, Assyrian on Thu/Fri; also Kurdish M-F 1630-1700; daily in English at 1530-1600, 1700-1730, Swedish 1500-1530. Get it while you can (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. KVOH 17775 was missing Aug 14, and I don`t think I noticed it either on Aug 15; but Aug 16 at 1550, good signal with Spanish preacher; M-F only? That would probably be too straightforward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 13645, weak Aug 16 at 1602, hymn singing in uncertain language with organ. It`s only YFR in Arabic via Wertachtal, GERMANY, nothing exotic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VENEZUELA [non]. 11680, Aug 16 at 1459 with RHC news sounder, IS,
ID, 1459.5 cut to OC and soon the RNV IS and sign-on. Usually sloppy switching by RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 13580, two stations colliding Aug 16 at 1600, CRI IS, scheduled Russian via Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN; and by 1603 the other one is Qur`aning, but not // Saudi 13710. Most likely Cairo, EGYPT is overrunning its Albanian hour on 13580 at 15-16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Brazil, 5940, Radio Guaruja Paulista, (pres),0935-1000, Heard music buried in the noise at tune in. Eventually at 0941 a male begins talking in Portuguese. Briefly more music, then the announcer has a conversation with a female on the telephone. Signal is a poor quality, but that’s better than usual, just like a “shadow” with no substance. Couple that with the noise, and it’s a difficult situation to hear. At 0948, more music is presented. At 0952 conditions begin to deteriorate and the signal drops into the noise. This is probably my Unid from last week, heard here. (Chuck Bolland, August 17, 2010)

Bolivia, 6155.36, Radio Fides, 1003-1045, It took some tuning, but heard a female in Spanish language presenting the news until 1006. This was followed with canned promos or ADs? A second female follows with more comments. The signal fades in and out during the period. At one point (1030-34) it seemed like the signal was off the air for a couple of minutes. However, at 1034 the signal fade in and was audible a few more minutes. (Chuck Bolland, August 17, 2010)

** ANTARCTICA. 15476+, Aug 17 at 1316, JBA with YL talking, het 15480, so LRA36 definitely on the air today, while I could not detect it Aug 16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA [and non]. 9625, Aug 17 at 1237, WYFR in Portuguese over CBCNQ, the usual situation here, two stations on the same continent and the same coast, on the same frequency! Audible hum or low heterodyne presumably caused by CBC being considerably off-frequency. 1245 with WYFR off, I still hear an hum, but lessened, and past 1300 as CBC is beating against something else, such as FEBC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake August 17:
8400, fair at 1232
9380, fair at 1239; 1324 seems off but WWRB 9385 now Overcomes
10500, nothing at 1239, very poor at 1339. Gone at 1400, so I set a receiver on 10500 to hear if and when it would cut back on instead of 1405 as Ron Howard has been noting: *1409:20 but now JBA
13680, fair at 1243 // 9380; no others up to 15000 at 1415
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 13780, Aug 17 at 1413, RHC missing tho it was still among the frequencies announced a few minutes earlier, while as usual on 13680 and China relay on 13740. This allowed something in German to be heard poorly on 13780. If it`s in German, it can`t be from Germany, but likely from a DW relay, in this case Woofferton UK at 14-18 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 9690, Aug 17, waiting for AIR GOS to come on: *1328 with anthem? But unseems Vande Mataram, and talked over at 1329:30, couldn`t understand and maybe not English. We don`t hear the haunting AIR IS at all; what`s up with that? 1330 quick GOS sign-on with the three frequencies, right into news with perpetual hum, really too poor to stay with. Later on, found // 13710 under CRI via EAST TURKISTAN, much too close to India (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9525.9, VOI, if it`s Tuesday, this must be Banjarmasin, Aug 17 joining in progress 1301:30 after dead air, tho previous hour in Japanese was OK. At first the two studios were having trouble hearing each other over the line (try SW?). The Exotic Indonesia excursions are more talky than other days, back and forth between Jak and Banj. 1320, talk about the r?le of youth in Indonesian independence, an editorial (or did she say “dignatorial“?).

Clueless announcers keep claiming to be on three frequencies, “9525“, 11785 and 15150, the latter two inactive for many months, at least at this hour; heard at 1323. At 1324, Today in History, about this being the 65th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence on Aug 17, 1945, two days after Japan`s WWII surrender (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR. 11835, open carrier aside WYFR 11830, Aug 17 at 1335, rather steady at S9+20, whence? Kept on it and finally at *1359 IS very briefly and sign-on in English to Asia from Radio Netherlands Worldwide. Too much ACI from WYFR, and if side-tuned upward, bleed from the DentroCuban Jamming Command on 11845. If the RNW frequency were isolated, it would be usable. This is 250 kW, 50 degrees from Talata. But why burn 250 kW an extra 25 minutes?

Uplooked later, I see that Romania in Russian is supposed to be on 11835 until 1400, but not a trace of that heard, tho other 25m frequencies from them often make it way offbeam to here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [non]. 15170, REE via COSTA RICA, Aug 17 at 1300, compared the timesignal to WWV and it was one sesquisecond late. I realize it would be inconvenient to make it accurate, with one or more satellite-hop delays and other factors, but if you are going to broadcast timesignals like this at all, you should always air a disclaimer before or after (translated), like “This timesignal is only an approximation, despite its seeming precision, not to be used for navigation, or critical scientific measurements“. Not holding breath (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15579, het against VOA S?o Tom? Music Mix, Aug 17 at 1405. Just as I was measuring it, disappeared at 1407*. Likely ChiCom jamming and/or V. of Tibet via Tajikistan as Aoki Aug 15 shows *15577 and *15578 for that at 1307-1407! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Subject: [HCDX] Wed Morn Dx

Brazil, 4925.22, Radio Educacao, 1023-1035, Lots of canned promos as I tuned in here. At 1026 heard a canned ID, and as usual the noised increased as the signal faded. What’s new? More canned stuff followed, probably ADs. As I listened to Brazil on this freq, I could hear a second carrier on 4925 KHz, but it was too weak to get any details. Educacao remained poor with noise and fading. (Chuck Bolland, August 18, 2010)

Subject: [HCDX] 17545 YFR “Open Air Forum” in En 12-13 UT

UNIDENTIFIED 17545 YFR US religious program relay site at 1200-1300 UT at
S=7-8 signal level.
First noted and reported by Ralf Ladusch in Austrian A-DX ng on Tue Aug 17.
Today Aug 19 at 12-13 UT logged YFR religious English sce “Open Air Forum” phone in program, not in \\ to 17555 YFR program in English too.
At 1227-1228 UT ID, YFR website announcement, URL and real audio 24 hrs service mentioned, as well as phone-in-# of

1 – 800 – 322 – 53 85.
I guess this 12-13 UT transmission is meant to East Asia too, via Almaty-KAZ relay site, like two others 11-12 UT 15560alm, 13-14 UT 13820alm, latter according to WRTH 2010 spring PDF file update. Not mentioned in Aoki, Eibi or HFCC tables.
17555yfr from Okeechobee Florida logged only with tiny S=3 signal here in Germany, at same time slot. Latter though 100 kW at 160 degr in opposite direction. HFCC list shows Spanish, but heard always in English at 1200 UT. 17545alm? is rather stronger on S=7-8 level.
Hymn at 12.59, TX off at 12.59:36 UT, and opening hymn on 13820alm then at 13.00 UT even.
Always publication of YFR whole broadcasting schedule leaves a lot to be desired.

Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs August 17-19, 2010

** ANTARCTICA [and non]. 15476, LRA36, very poor but detectable signal, Aug 18 at 1312 with YL in Spanish; 1345 some music. Likewise Aug 19 at 1327 music, het from 15480; 1421 music again, and now weaker than 15480, White Russian from Poland via Woofferton UK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 9625, the defective transmitter dedicated to Sackville`s lowest priority, CBCNQ, Aug 19 at 0503 in CBC news, distorted on fundamental and putting out worse spurs circa 9600 and 9650. Fortunately sign-off was imminent, but did not check for prolonged transmission with tones as often happens (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake August 18:
8400, JBA at 1252
14700, fair at 1334 with flutter. No others found up to 18 MHz.

Firedrake August 19: none at all found, 1330-1339 from 18 down to 8 MHz; however, CNR1 jammers were quite strong on 15 and 11 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9525, Aug 19 at 0455-0500 RHC only running its IS, but why if this frequency is about to close down, anyway; or is it? 0501 into programming starting with music. Only poor signal; probably just overrunning.

Maybe that`s why 6010 was missing when I checked 49m at 0510, while the other English frequencies were up: 5970 good, 6060 poor, 6150 open carrier, then modulation cutting on and off. But at 0511, 6010 carrier started cutting on and off; finally at 0512, seemed to stay on plus modulation. Spanish on 6120, 5040 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ECUADOR. 3810-LSB, HD2IOA, accurate time signals announced every 10 seconds, Aug 19 at 0514. Weak, but evading QRhaM at the moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI, Aug 18 at 1322 “Indonesian Wonder“ segment about “burning the barge(?)“, i.e. paper replicas, some festival in Riau, which is a province in central Sumatera; 1326 “Let`s Speak Bahasa Indonesia“, hard to follow as usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** LIBYA. V. of Africa still active on the original A10 and B09 frequency, 17725, poor with YL in English at 1418 Aug 19; // 21695 not propagating, nor anything else on 13m.

BTW: when solar flux had a hard time exceeding 70 earlier this year, we dreamt of it exceeding 80 and the improved reception that would ensue. Now it does, but reception is as poor as ever if not worse overall (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1050 on caradio with a low het rumble, surely between the two OK stations, as much closer than any others on daytime groundwave; someone is significantly off-frequency. Dominant station had soul music, Aug 17 at 2013 UT. Trouble is, new NRC AM Log 2010-2011, just received Aug 18, shows both are UC:AC (Urban contemporary/American contemporary) music formats: KKRX Lawton, U3 250 watts, and KGTO Tulsa U1 1000 watts. Of course, with a direxional receiver each could be nulled, but not on the caradio whip. More likely Tulsa, a bit closer and stronger, non direxional, while Lawton is direxional to the SW.

1240, previously noted with KFH Wichita KS and KADS Elk City OK both on ESPN and echoing, but Aug 17 at 2015 UT on caradio, KADS is way over KFH, and giving the WWLS phone number: “Sports Animal“ network originator relayed by a few other OK stations, but surely none abroad; on website http://www.thesportsanimal.com/ I see nothing about affiliates; even searching on keywords KADS and Elk goes nowhere (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. KWTV, CBS affiliate in OKC, is about to make up its mind about whether to keep channel 9 or 39; it`s been running both for many months. Formerly, PSIP ID was 9-1 for RF9 and 9-2 for RF39, but first noted August 17, that has changed:

RF9: now displays as DTV 9-3 OldKWTV
RF39: now displays as DTV 9-1 News9

But on my previously configured DTV converter, which had both saved, if I directly enter 9-1 I get News9 but I am really tuned to RF39.

If I directly enter 9-2 I get News9 and I am also really tuned to RF39.

If I directly enter 9-3 I get OldKWTV and am really tuned to RF9.
Previously there was no 9-3 option. Why set it up that way? There are not really three separate channels/programs.

As I found out when researching the KOSU CP to move to the KWTV tower, their ch 39 antenna is on the top, and the ch 9 is further down, another clue that they are going for UHF as a keeper. All these different “9“s have always had identical programming; never any secondary channels.

There is no obvious link to DTV or reception problems on the http://www.news9.com website, so I had to search, leading to this:
http://www.news9.com/Global/story.asp?S=12892534

“Please Rescan by Aug. 30
Posted: Jul 29, 2010 2:47 PM AST [sic]
Updated: Aug 03, 2010 3:15 PM AST [sic]

Since the DTV switch, some TVs have had problems with our signal. We apologize. We value all of our viewers and have been working hard to make sure everyone can get the best signal possible… and now we need your help.

If you are watching NEWS 9 on a TV using an antenna or a converter box, it’s very important that you rescan your channel line-up one more time before August 30th or you’ll lose CBS and NEWS 9.

RESCAN: Step – by – Step

1. Disconnect the antenna from the television/converter box
2. Rescan channels (with no antenna attached, you will likely get no channels)
3. Turn off the television/converter box and unplug from power source
4. After 5 minutes, plug the television/converter box back in and reconnect the antenna
5. Rescan for channels
6. And you are DONE!

If you run into any problems, we are here to help.
Send us an e-mail: Give us a call: 405-841-9199“

They still are not saying exactly what they are really doing! But obviously they are turning off one of their transmitters August 30. In the comments appended, a rather rude “Echo Charlie“ explains to a confused viewer, who can blame her? that RF 9 will be turned off, keeping RF 39 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 15450, checking VOT Aug 19, another Thursday whether “Live from Turkey“ still exists, but tuned in too late, 1320, just as starting filler Question of the Month? But cut off the air for a minute so it was missed. Perhaps the transmitter operator, like the audience, is sick of hearing the same thing on every English broadcast for three weeks? By the time resumed, moved on to news headlines, hard to copy due to YL announcer speed/accent, and only fair reception, fading; IS once and off. Two hours later I check the website for this broadcast on demand,
http://www.trt-world.com/trtworld/en/news.aspx
but not only is today`s not available yet, neither is yesterday`s, the latest linked being Aug 17. So maybe Thursday`s will be there by Saturday? Ho, hum (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. First airing of WORLD OF RADIO 1526 confirmed on WBCQ, Wednesday Aug 18 at 1900; by webcast, as in- to just-barely audible here on 7415 at that hour across mostly absorbed full day summer path. Just how far does 7415 reach with a usable signal at that hour?

Next few scheduled airings: Thu 1500 WRMI 9955, Thu 1900 WBCQ 7415,
Thu 2100 WRMI 9955, Fri 0330 WWRB 3185, Fri 1430 WRMI 9955, Fri 2030 WWCR1 15825. Full schedule at
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 95.3, weak signal on caradio Aug 17 at 2018 UT, ad for a car dealer mentioning both Poteau OK and Fort Smith AR. Must be KERX Paris AR, 50 kW ERP, transmitter site halfway to Fort Smith, east of it. 228 miles, not bad on a bright summer afternoon (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 560, Aug 17 at 2010 UT, very weak with some T-storm QRN, clip of “Heartbreak Hotel“, and unID host/DJ inviting calls. Also with SAH from a second station. KWTO Springfield MO is closest, talk format, and just barely makes it here on groundwave. KWTO schedule at
http://www.newstalk560.com/schedule.aspx
shows Tuesdays 3:00PM – 4:00PM Chestnut Chiropractic (1st, 3rd), and this was the third, so do they go off the air on 2nd, 4th and 5th?

The other suspects are KFDM Beaumont TX, WHBQ Memphis TN and KLZ Denver CO. NRC AM Log 2010-2011 shows all of them are some variety of talk. Looking at the NRC Pattern Book, all about the same distance from here, under 500 miles, but only KFDM is non-direxional day, and has the ground conductivity advantage over Memphis; while KLZ has quite a null usward. On caradio at a western Enid store parking lot, a fairly hot spot, tho now some frequencies marred by tones, expanded store security systems? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15570/15572, het Aug 19 at 1422 between two weak signals. Aoki shows: “15572*VOICE OF TIBET 1407-1430 1234567 Tibetan 100 131 Dushanbe-Yangiyul TJK 06848E 3829N VOTi a10“; only audio I hear is on 15570, seems like Chinese, so likely CNR1 jamming VOT. Originally in A10, DW in Amharic via Sri Lanka was on 15570 during this hour, but apparently no longer (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Subject: [HCDX] Logs for Al Muick – ERRATUM

Thanks to Peter Ng of Malaysia who pointed out that my logging of RTM Klasik Nasional should have been the “Malay” language and NOT “Malayalam,” which, as Peter rightfully points out, is an Indian language which RTM KN does not broadcast.

Apologies for any confusion. This happened because of the logging program which I use that has been mis-programmed. I have since fixed that.

Best 73,
Al Muick

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36, Aug 10 at 1237 music hetting Chinese on 15480. About the same very weak signal in some later chex before 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11815, Aug 10 at 0540 familiar song but in Portuguese, deep fades, must be R. Brasil Central, inaudible on // 4985. 0544 live DJ, jingles, timecheck as 15 para as 3. Only other possible Brazilian on 25m was 11750, very weak but seems Portuguese. No sign of 11925v Bandeirantes or any others. Oops, I did not check 12175v.
Better luck on 31m: at 0548, 9675, 9665 and 9645.3 could be heard; 9665 had a YL caller on phone (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake August 10:
8400, fair at 1220; maybe a trace at 1420 when 11500 still in
11500, good at 1232 and // 8400. Still good at 1420, but poor by 1434
CNR1 jamming:
15795, Aug 10 at 1235, an echo apart from 11805. 15795 is of course blocking All India Radio`s only Chinese service, 1145-1315. The other frequencies, uplooked later, are 11840 and 17705, which I expect are also jammed.
15600, Aug 10 at 1242, fair signal in Indonesian, conveniently mentioning China, and “`CRI Beijing“. Oops, it not Indonesian, but “Malaysian“, per Aoki at 1230-1327, 100 kW, 175 degrees from Kunming-Anning (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI, missed more than the first half of this Tuesday`s “Exotic Indonesia“ co-produxion with RRI Banjarmasin, but Aug 10 from 1335, VG signal, no Music Corner, but continuous discussion between the mystery announcer and someone about Ramadan, puberty vs fasting, and the Ramadan Cake Fair in Banj which is about to kick off the month. Still talking at 1357:15 when CRI Russian carrier comes on 9525.0, shortly adding musical pr?lude, roughly equal levels so a huge collision. 1400 brief English ID, 1401 into warta berita (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 7435-7440-7445, DRM noise, Aug 8 around 1205 and still at 1412. RNZI supposedly takes a DRM break after 1158, on no frequency at all, but must have left it on today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. 6297.1, surprisingly strong S9+20 open carrier at 0555 Aug 10, or rather not totally open as accompanied by a roaring sound. On exactly the same off-frequency as before, must be Radio Nacional de la Rep?blica ?rabe Saharaui Democr?tica, the Polisario Front clandestine from just across the border in Tindouf, ALGERIA. It`s been missing for months, as seems to happen every year, but eventually revives. Last report of it in DXLD was March 13 in issue 10-11.
At 0600:50 military band plays anthem for almost a minute, then YL announcement, language uncertain but unseems Spanish, then OM chanting until 0613 more melodic music mixed with talk. Unfortunately, a spur from one of Suddenlink`s cable DTV converters lands right on same frequency, impeding copy!
Reactivation was first reported by Mike Barraclough, UK, Aug 7 past 2303. Previous sign-on time per Aoki and WRTH was 0700, a bit late for me, so I`m glad it`s now 0600. Because Morocco was observing DST of UT +1? Per http://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst2010.html
that just ended Aug 8, in time for Ramadan, and there is no DST in Algeria. The final hour at 23-24 should be in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15390, Aug 10 at 1238-1240* fair open carrier with intermittent tone tests. Typical VOA Greenville behavior, tho this frequency is no longer on the schedule at all since banning Creole from SW in April; was from 1630. Maybe now one of their frequencies used only for tune-ups. Next scheduled 15390 occupant now is Gospel for Asia via Nauen, Germany from 1330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs August 9-11, 2010

** AUSTRIA. 15440, Aug 11 at 1411, S Asian music featuring soprano and tabla briefly peaks, then fades out. Scheduled is AWR in Urdu at 1400-1430, due east from Moosbrunn (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake Aug 11: 8400, very poor with heavy flutter, at 1251. No others found up to 18 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUATEMALA. R. Verdad was reported from Germany Aug 5 at 0023 on 4052, indicating they have finally got the SW transmitter fixed. However, details were sparse and am awaiting any confirmation. On Aug 10 I did not get around to checking 4052.5 until 0557, but nothing there. Nominal schedule is until 0605*.

As of Aug 9 there was nothing on their website http://www.radioverdad.org
or their blog
http://www.radioverdadguatemala.blogspot.com/
about this; I forwarded the report to Dr. Madrid, but no reply from him yet. So we need to keep looking for it earlier in the evening, and also from *1100 Mon-Sat. Nope, nothing there at 0310 Aug 11 either (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI, Aug 11 at 1334 with Let`s Learn Bahasa Indonesia until 1339 Music Corner starting with child singing off-key (on-key in Indonesian terms?). Language lessons are showing up more lately. Trouble is, even with VG reception, I have trouble understanding the English, let alone the Indonesian. She just pronounces various words in Indonesian, then translates. Not user-friendly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. Another open carrier from an OK station: 1490, KMFS Guthrie, the normally heard groundwave signal here in daytime. I was in the car and failed to make notes, so IIRC, the time was 2106 UT Aug 9, but suddenly cut on preacher in progress at 2110. This is the one owned by Jimmy Swaggart, but did not sound like the crybaby at the moment, rather an ilkmate. O well, 4 minutes is better than nothing.

1120, KEOR Sperry-Tulsa also featured OC when checked Aug 10 at 2053; earlier in the hour soul music as usual (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PHILIPPINES [and non]. 9625, Aug 11 at 1300, CBC NQ with CBC News, fast SAH and CCI from “Jesus Saves“ IS of FEBC, 1301 latter into hymn in unknown language, listed Hmong in EiBi; enough to ruin CBC reception (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1280, KSOK, Arkansas City KS, semilocal missing in caradio bandscan Aug 10 at 2040 UT, audiblizing a weak C&W music station which it ordinarily totally covers. Unfortunately the storm noise level was high and growing; 2059 announcement could not copy any ID, but 2100 back to C&W instead of news; 2105 another announcement and more music. Checking the NRC AM Log 2009, the next closest stations on 1280 are:

KNBY Newport AR, and KDKD Clinton MO, but neither format matches, talk and oldies respectively. Much further and not likely to make it by GW at all is a C&W station, KCNI in Broken Bow NE — all 1 kW non-direxional. Then there`s 5 kW in Denver KBNO, but it`s Spanish and highly direxional away. Perhaps something closer will click with updated format info. KSOK back on air at next check Aug 11 at 1638.

630, Aug 10 at 2050, tnx to IBOC off WWLS-640 for a change, could make out weak signal here, but again too much storm noise. Prime suspect is KHOW Denver, which is closest and with a lobe in our direxion; plus Denver 670 is audible any day, noise level permitting (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. 6297.1, just like 24 hours earlier, Aug 11 at 0556 open carrier, with 8-at-a-time utebeep ACI on low side, but this time LV de la RASD did not get around to signing on promptly, still OC at 0604 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Particularly good reception of Radio Fly today, both at 1100 and 1200 UTC checks. Both 5960 and 3915 were good, but the clearer frequency was actually 3915 khz, with virtually no ham QRM. Quick jingle ID noted just after 1100, with announcer giving live ID with frequencies at
1200 UTC, at the end of the evening program, then continued with more pop music..

1152 11 AUG, 2212 UTC, PAKISTAN, PBC Rawalpindi, on outside of normal hours (per WRTH) with many IDs in English by man and woman announcers into a call-in show in Urdu, with many mentions of broadcasting. Possibly on outside of normal hours because of Ramadan or the disastrous flooding. They are only about 230 miles away from me. Signals were very strong with an occasional fade and no interference.

4319 USB 11 AUG, 2049 UTC, BIOT Diego Garcia, AFRTS with PSA’s and money advice show into NPR’s All Things Considered and news. If I ever get lonely for US-style talk radio, this is the station I would tune into. Good signals with some RTTY QRM from 2.5kHz higher.

5050 11 AUG, 2300 UTC CHINA, Beibu Bay Radio, time pips into announcements in Vietnamese (according to sked) by woman and man. Fair signal level with moderate fading.

6297 11 AUG, 2024 UTC, CLAN (ALGERIA), Radio Nacional de la RASD, heard in Arabic and dramatic music. Supposedly only 20kW on their shortwave frequency, so not so bad with only fair reception. No QRM and only summer static.

7465 11 AUG, 1906 UTC, ALBANIA, Radio Tirana in French with news items and commentary. Transmission is aimed at Western Europe but heard here in Kabul with S4 signals and no QRM but moderate fading. Modulation did appear to be a little low, however.

7530 11 AUG, 1859 UTC, CLAN (ARMENIA), Radio Free North Korea, early sign on with military march and then news points read by a man in Korean with brief music bed interludes between items. Very good signals, with jammer (North Korean?) barely heard underneath. Has anyone ever received a QSL from these fellows?

Korea, N, 3912, Voice of the People, 1000-1015 Noted a male in Korean comments during the period. This is one of those signals that give one a headache, very weak with a lot of noise. At 1014 noted music. Signal remained threshold with noise. (Chuck Bolland, August 12, 2010)

Bolivia, 6134.77, Radio Santa Cruz, 1030-1045, Noted a male and female in comments/teaching something. Signal is a fair level for the time being. (Chuck Bolland, August 12, 2010)

Bolivia, 6155.36, Radio Fides, 1036-1045, Noted a male in Spanish language comments until
1037 when a female comments. From the format, this sounds like a news or commentary
type program. Signal was beginning to drop into the noise by 1040. (Chuck Bolland, August 12, 2010)

Indonesia, 9680, RRI Jakarta, 1055-1105, Noted a male in Indonesian language until 1058 when
music is presented which is Qu’ran type. Signal was at good level so far. (Chuck Bolland, August 12, 2010)

Philippines, 9400, FEBC,(pres) 1102-1115 At tune in, noted a female in Chinese language comments. This continues during the period. Signal was fair. (Chuck Bolland August 12, 2010)

BOGOTA (AFP) – ? A powerful explosion rocked northern Bogota early Thursday, causing extensive damage to a private radio station and shattering windows of buildings in the area, witnesses said.
There were no immediate reports of casualties.
The blast caused the collapse of a large part of the roof of a building housing the Caracol radio station, forcing its evacuation, reporters for the radio station said.
An AFP reporter at the scene said the explosion blew out windows and shook many buildings in the area.

Hi,
there are some doubts in our DX community whether I really heard Radio A Critica FM (Manaus, Brazil) on 5055kHz. Some others report Radio Difusora.
I have a recording now uploaded here: http://www.box.net/shared/a9vncjcdbl
You can hear the ID at seconds :05 and :38 :
At a second :05 there is a jingle (slowly spoken whispering) “A Cr?tica eFe eMe”
At a second :38 there is and ID and slogan: “A Cr?tica FM – Uma r?dio feita para voce”.
This slogan is a part of their logo too: http://www.acriticafm.com.br/
Date and time of the recording: August 3, 2010 – 0500UTC (Date and time is also a part of the MP3 file name)

** ANGUILLA. 6090, open carrier with some hum, August 12 at 0630 and for several minutes, longer than DGS` sometimes pregnant pauses. He was pontificating as usual on 5935 WWCR (not // 5890 now), so Caribbean Beacon really lost the feed. Very weak understation on 6090, Brasil or Nigeria? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake Aug 12:
8400, nothing at 1325; could well be on but just not propagating
10500, fair at 1331
14400, very poor at 1337
14700, very poor at 1337 but slightly better than 14400
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY [non]. 15460, Aug 12 at 1420, poor with talk in Amharic, some reverb but no jamming audible. It`s DW via RWANDA, 1400-1457, 250 kW non-direxional. Don`t usually hear this, but only thing in the area, with no reception from Antarctica today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 15150, Aug 12 at 1422, poor signal in Qur`an. It`s VIRI`s Arabic service, 500 kW, 295 degrees from Sirjan, in its 11-hour-per-day schedule of 0530-1630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Not to be outdone by 6090 ANGUILLA [q.v.], WTWW 5755 also broadcasting unmodulated carrier, Aug 12 at 0633 instead of PPPP (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9370-9410, WWRB BS from 9385, Aug 12 at 1422, extending to this range with frying sound, impeding WTJC 9370 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VENEZUELA [non]. 11705, strong and steady open carrier, Aug 12 at 1337; surely Cuban transmitter relaying RNV failed to turn off at 1300. Still at 1351, with trace of an understation, no doubt NHK Indonesian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. 6297.1, on Aug 12 not checked until 0627 when music was playing, so still signing on before 0700. We are tempted to refer to this station by its Spanish name, Radio Nacional de la Rep?blica ?rabe Saharaui Democr?tica, since we understand Spanish much better than the Hassania Arabic dialect, but only one hour a day is in Spanish, at most, so we really ought to use the other ID, quoting from WRTH 2010: Sowt al-sha`ab a-Sahraui al-mukafa — SSSM for short; or SASASAM? Yeah, that`s cool (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs August 11-13, 2010

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36 was not audible Aug 12, but back Aug 13 with relatively good signal, pretty steady at S9+7: 1221 song, no problem from 15480 het; 1226 another song with quena, YL, about sol, monta?a, mar; 1230 about fruta madura, coraz?n, a passionate lovesong; 1234 segu? to yet another. 1235-1251 talk segment, monolog by YL; I still could not figure out the point of it, but mentioned SIDA, several American countries; never caught an ID, which are really scarce and not at hourtops. 1251 back to music, continuing with rock song, heavy beat past 1300; next check 1315 was weakening; 1336 music about equal to 15480 level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 11600, Aug 13 at 1214, Vietnamese talk with quick longpath echo. It`s CRI via Beijing site, 150 kW, 195 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake Aug 13:
10500, very poor at 1344
11050, very poor at 1344
14700, poor at 1340
15140, fair at 1338, first one run across today; at 1350 could also tell something else was co-channel, presumably Sound of Hope.

CNR1 jamming, presumably:
15521, het with 15520 at 1320; could not really tell what was what, but at next check 1334, 15521 was still on with very weak talk in Chinese, while 15520 was off. The Aug 12 Aoki shows:

15521*VOICE OF TIBET 1330-1342 1234567 Chinese 100 131 Dushanbe-Yangiyul TJK 06848E 3829N VOTi a10=15527
15522*VOICE OF TIBET 1200-1208 1234567 Chinese 100 131 Dushanbe-Yangiyul TJK 06848E 3829N VOTi a10=15526

But no doubt the exact timespans and frequencies vary in the cat-and-mouse jamming game (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15330, lite pulse jamming against nothing, Aug 13 at 1337 and later, somewhat weaker than RHC on 15360, 15380. R. Mart? presumably will not return to 15330 until A-10 season, but don`t forget, we`re standing by to jam you with more than this! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ETHIOPIA [non]. 15350, impassioned speech in presumed Amharic, Aug 11 at 1850-1900* abruptly off. Aoki lists as daily 1800-1900 Radio Bilal, via Samara, Russia, 250 kW, 188 degrees but seems too good for that. Next day, barely audible, so that`s more like it. Website, much of it in English, is http://www.radio-bilal.com/radio/

with apparently outdated info:
“Station Broadcast, wavelength, time and region covered
Language: Amharic
Broad cast frequency: on 9610 kHz and 31 meter band.
Time 1700-1800 UTC (8-9pm. ethio.kemishtu 2-3)
Beam region: East Africa“

{I believe that refers to the peculiar Ethiopian clock which starts at sundown so 8 pm is to them 2 o`clock.}

It`s for Muslim Ethiopians. But what does the name mean? Unfound. Google does not yet translate Amharic, and romanized Arabic to English respits “Bilal“.

Address displayed is:
Bilal Communication Inc.
4324 Georgia Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20011
Tel +1 202 239 1485

WRTH has no details but same phone, different address as
P O Box 34264,
Washington DC 20043
shouldn`t the first two of the box match the last two of the ZIP?

Listening to last part of Aug 11 audio file, did not sound like what I was hearing, however, and no ID caught. Zacharias Liangas in Greece also reported it, the day before, Aug 10, and says the last 10 minutes were Qur`an in Arabic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** LIBYA. 17725, poor signal in Swahili Aug 13 at 1339; also on 1352 on 21695, OSOB. V. of Africa has resumed old B09/original A10 schedule including this at 12-14, and apparently same pair for English at 14-16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Some WORLD OF RADIO 1525 broadcasts confirmed on webcasts, and presumably equivalent SW where applicable:
WRMI Thu 1500, 2100, Fri 1430, +9955
WBCQ Thu 1900, +7415
ACB Mainstream Radio, Fri 1500 [+ to be 2-hourly thru 2330]
WWCR airings to be: Fri 2030 15825, Sat 1600 12160, UT Sun 0230 4840, 0630 3215, 2330 9980 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Ponderous Bible readings by Alexander Scourby on both 9370 WTJC/FBN and 9385 WWRB/TOM, but of course not //, Aug 13 at 1347. Then Brother Scare gives us a minute of dead air. WWRB not splattering upon WTJC today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WYFR observations: Aug 13 at 1357, 11830 // 11910 with piano variations on Clair de Lune — nice, but somehow acquires hints of hymnody. 1358 to non-professional YL frequency change announcer, says will continue on 11855, and start on 11565, 17760, 13695. Must have been playing wrong announcement, as really stayed on 11830 and 11910 in English at 1400 with don`t cook your kids in cars PSA, 13695 had the other English program with Open Forum, nothing on 11565, 11855 or 17760; while 11865 was in Spanish before and after 1400. 11565 and 17760 are not currently on the Okeechobee schedule at all. From a previous season and/or time? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15635, Aug 13 at 1220, open carrier with some flutter, aside Greece 15630. Nothing at all scheduled here at this time; only RFA Mandarin via Tajikistan at 03-07 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
