** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36 carrier detectable at 1253 Oct 13, but no UK on
15480 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 13: none found 8-19 MHz at 1248-1255 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC anomaly check Oct 13 at 0611: English on 6150-undermodulated,
6060, 6010 and 5970; Spanish on 6120 and 5040 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4055.00, Oct 13 at 1132, R. Verdad, very weak talk, music and
carrier matches Nikkei 6055 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** HONDURAS. 3250, while concentrating on WPJK 3160 [see USA], quick check for
HRPC, and there it is, Oct 13 at 1140, OM preacher in English with consecutive
translation by YL in Spanish, a staple of this station; some ute beeps on hi
side. Gone a few minutes later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 3325, RRI Palangkaraya, Oct 13 at 1256, Indonesian talk, fair at
S9+15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 855, re previous TP bandscans finding a carrier here,
presumably off-frequency NK: Oct 13 around 1210 I am not getting any TPs but
this weak carrier is showing steadily, and can`t make a null on it. It`s on the
hi side of 855, but at 1245 on the lo side.
I must conclude it`s of local origin, perhaps even a DX-398 birdie. I see that
DXers in the Pacific Northeast reporting lots of Japanese and other East Asians
don`t often include 855 NK, despite being listed in WRTH as 500 kW, in external
sexion only, as Pyongyang Pangsong, Sangwon site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. Sunrise MW DX Oct 13: trouble is, too many stations in too
brief a window, so definite IDs are sparse. On DX-398 inside, AC power,
built-in ferrite antenna only:
580, at 1226 Mexican music on guitar plus combo from the west, dominating WIBW
which is easily nulled. XEFI Chihuahua, Chihuahua most likely, R. Mexicana.
640, Spanish at 1222 easily in null of WWLS OK before day signal; KFI
underneath. One of two Chihua2 stations, more likely XEJUA Ju?rez.
650, at 1234, several news items concerning Sinaloa, starting with a road to
Chihuahua. Stingers between every item; 6:35 timecheck en el ``noticiero n?mero
uno de Sinaloa en Doble-U Radio, Radio 65``. Definitely XETNT, Los Mochis.
770, at 1232 from WSW, Spanish atop KKOB (Santa Fe?) which 5 minutes earlier
was atop with Albuquerque traffic report. Talk about women`s duties vs men`s.
1238 discussion still going on among several people in studio. Based on
direxion, the only fit is XEREV, Los Mochis, Sinaloa (and 650 there was also
in), but this would be a departure from Los 40 Principales (top 40 format).
Certainly worth further pursuit. No, there is no SS US station on 770.
850, Spanish music at 1228 from WSW in null of KOA, most likely XEM Chihuahua.
870, at 1229 YL announcements in Spanish, just about alone on frequency,
presumed XETAR, Chihuahua. This one held up a bit longer than the others.
900, at 1230, DJ with phoner, repeatedly uses expression ``que dice``, probably
XEDT, Ciudad Cuauht?moc, Chihuahua as before. Maybe meant, ``what do you say?``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MOROCCO. 9575: Mark Taylor in WI reported an unID at 2332-2359 Oct 9, in
Portuguese with Brasilian music, blocked by Medi 1 from 2359; nothing listed.
I started to check this out Oct 11 at 2315, found only a weak carrier, no
Portuguese detectable, but didn`t get back to it later that hour.
So try again Oct 12, at 2345: there is romantic music playing, I think at the
moment with English lyrix; 2347 announcement but I am not convinced it is
Portuguese. Check RDPI just in case: not // 9715. Talk modulation is somewhat
muffled, over music at 2355; some bother from DentroCuban Jamming Command 9565
pulsebleed. But nothing compared to the two adjacent carriers on from *2359,
CRI via ALBANIA on 9570, and RRI via Tiganeshti on 9580, both about to start
English.
At 0000 Oct 13, 9575 resumes talking for a while, perhaps news, but now way too
much ACI to copy it. However, as far as I could tell, it was the same station
on 9575 before and after 0000, so I think on this date at least, it was just
Radio M?di-1, Morocco, which after all is supposedly running 24 hours on this
frequency per Aoki and WRTH. No Brazilians are listed on 9575 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3160, checking out yesterday`s MW harmonic unID, tuning in much
earlier Oct 13: nothing there around 1128. Should have stayed on frequency as
apparently signed on at 1130. Next check 1136 there is a surprisingly fair
signal, S9+20 with soul/gospel music, segu? to another at 1139. WWRB 3185 runs
S9+25+ by comparison. At 1142, DJ break, southern black accent with timecheck
for 7:42 so it`s in the EDT zone, mentions date, Wednesday, October 13, so must
be live!
Show is called Gospel Train; ad for something with one-dollar items, phone
803-526-something. Area code 803 means South Carolina. I had not dreamt it
could be that far away. 1148 another ad for same, a restaurant with $1
breakfasts; weather forecast, 63 degrees; 1149 YL canned PSA about children in
poverty (for whom the dollar breakfasts should be a draw).
1151 into another gospel song. By 1155 it is weakening a bit to S9+15, barely
above noise level, still at 1200 but becoming JBA. 1201 a W- ID but could not
copy call, 8:00 TC in Gospel Train, and heard a couple of monotone whistles.
1202 bothered briefly by `running water` ute QRM. More music.
That should be plenty to ID it, so looked up in the 2010-2011 NRC AM Log, on
1580, finding WPJK, Orangeburg SC, which has urban contemporary/gospel format.
There is another SC on 1580, but it`s Spanish religious. WPJK is a daytimer,
sunrise-sunset, 1 kW non-direxional.
However, the 526 exchange in the 803 AC is in York SC, in the NE, far from
Orangeburg but also far from WDAB Travelers Rest in the NW, which various
sources maintain is Spanish. Maybe I misunderstood the phone number; sure wish
I had got the name of that $1-breakfast-restaurant. Might be worth a trip
there. Or it could just be McDonalds, which has had such a promotion, but they
don`t want phone calls, do they?
FCC AM Query says WPJK has a `plan` to operate also at night with 15 watts. And
it`s licensed to an administratrix: ERMMA BARTON GOWDY.
http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/amq?list=0&facid=6447
Radio Locator lists an address for her in Augusta GA.
I`ll bet 1130 UT is the official local WPJK sunrise for October. Yes:
http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/srsstime?dlat=33&mlat=28&slat=43.00&dlon=80&mlon=52&slon=46.00&tzone=A
November will be 1200, December 1215, January 1230, February 1215 UT.
So Brother Scare has some company on 90m from a real South Carolina SW station.
Orangeburg is about halfway between Columbia and Walterboro off I-26. Distance
from Enid is 1580 km or 982 statute miles.
If anyone else hear it, please do NOT seek a QSL or contact WPJK about this, as
that could lead to elimination of this harmless harmonic and its DXability
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 720, Oct 13 at 1239, fair signal in English alone on frequency, Heidi
Harris talk show with phone ending in -KDWN, political discussion; seems she is
against ``Obama-care``.
Her show is weekdays at 5-9 am PDT per
http://www.kdwn.com/index.php?page=106
i.e. 12-16 UT, winters 13-17 UT. Heidi and a Snake! ---
http://www.kdwn.com/multimedia/images_dj/djAlbum__ed4aebf263.jpg
KDWN also features the ilk of Glenn Beck, Dennis Miller and Michael Savage. I
think I`ll pass. Unless they wear pythons, which I would encourage them to try.
Nevada is not exactly easy to MWDX here, altho have heard KDWN before.
50 kW should be on night pattern, just barely sunrise here, well before Las
Vegas sunrise, deep null 75 degrees toward Chicago, which also means only
slightly less null toward Enid in cardioid pattern:
http://www.fcc.gov/ftp/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/1347186-109908.pdf
I wonder why these FCC `electric field strength pattern plots` always show an
almost current date (10 Oct 2010 in this case) as if they are constantly
subject to change?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** UZBEKISTAN. 9660, Oct 13 at 1304, S Asian vocal music, heavy flutter; 1305
announcement seems Hindi. Yes, it`s CVC at 11-14, 100 kW, 153 degrees from
Tashkent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. 6297.1, SASASAM back to this frequency Oct 13 at 0609
check, going from chant to YL announcement, plus usual ute beeps aside (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 8840-SSB, Oct 13 at 1222, 2-way conversation between two guys
with exaggerated (but not to them) southern-hick accents, discussing
generators, clearance for one`s belly. One a lot stronger than the other, using
``comeback`` instead of ``over`` as no doubt escapees from CB. Klingenfuss
lists this as an AMS frequency (aeronautical mobile service) but I would have
guessed marine (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

RMRC Broadcast about RSD2009 to Japan and Asia on 23. October 2010
===================================================
The Rhein-Main Radio Club (RMRC) will broadcast a special program
in English on Saturday, 23. October 2010, from 1300 to 1400 UT on 11640 kHz
with 100 kW (AM-modulation) from Sitkunai in Lithuania to Japan and Asia. The
program will be essentially the same as the English broadcast to North America
on 09. October. The main feature will be audio clips from the Radio St. Helena
Day 2009 programs.
There will also be information about the RMRC, comments on RSH and RSD by
Robert Kipp, and (we hope) some special comments by Mr. Toshi Ohtake of the
Japan ShortWave Club (JSWC). The RMRC wishes listeners everywhere good
reception conditions.
No return postage is needed for the special RMRC QSL-card. There is also an
electronic QSL for email reports. The postal address can be found on the club
