But Voice of Russia German sce relay via Lvov Krasne site on 11655 kHz
still on air today, 1000-1100 UT, S=9+10dB, in \\ but 2 seconds behind via
9720 kHz Kaliningrad enclave Bolshakovo with proper signal S=9+25dB.
Undoubtedly the usual shortwave BUDGET problem on RUI.

Gunaz Radio on 7510 kHz to Southern Azerbaijan.
7510 TDP registered Mykolaiev-UKR 250 kW 130 deg 1430-1930 z
But as the signal is much strength loss in CeEUR, the high front-to-back
ratio of backwards curtain reflector lowers the signal really heavy.

** ALASKA [and non]. Have not seen KNLS reported lately, so wondering if both
transmitters are currently down. I look for the English hour scheduled on 9655
at 15-16, Jan 2: as soon as Sackville 9650 is off, yes, there is KNLS IS on
9655, fair with flutter. But at 1500 Romania is on top in Arabic while KNLS is
still ISing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. 3210, no sign of the just activated new private SW station of
unknown name in NSW, January 2 at 1349, and I am not surprised, considering the
very low power and testing may be intermittent. Should be quite a challenge to
hear in NAm, but possible if Radio Symban can make it on 2368.5. Details from
Johno Wright to DXLD as of 2300 UT Jan 1:
``3210 kHz: Folks, last night 1st January 2011 from around 0710 to past 1100
UT, we heard the ex Pifo HCJB transmitter from Schofields, western Sydney.
Running between 50 & 70 watts. It has a religious programme on a loop every 2
hours. This is just a pre tune and get it right phase, so the sked is not
finalised. reports to dx1234 @ gmail.com If you want a snail mail QSL: to John
Wright, 29 Milford Rd, Peakhurst 2210, NSW, Australia. Please include either 2
IRC's or 2 USD's. Always something new on shortwave, Cheers from Australia``
(Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 9625, Jan 2 at 0608, CBC NQ is still on with tone test a few minutes
after sign-off; good S9+18 signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Finally heard RHC in Esperanto! UT Sunday Jan 2 at 0700 it`s already
in progress on 6050, while 6060 and 5040 are in Spanish. SNAFU, the listed
frequency for Esp`o at 0700 is 6010 per WRTH 2011, and the RHC online schedule
presented in Spanish, but that was not on the air. At 0720 I find 6150 is also
// in Esp`o with usual undermodulation, but at 0722 it`s over, both to RHC IS,
and ``Ed Newman`` reopening the English hour for ``January 1``, 52nd
anniversary of The Triumph Of The Revolution. Esperanto must have started circa
0653; English ordinarily is over at 0700, and per observations a night or two
ago when all frequencies were in Spanish after that.
Since I knew an Esperanto program existed for January 2, I looked again for it
at the next scheduled time, 1500 on 11760: no, continues in Spanish // all the
other frequencies, also at later chex in the semihour.
13750 et al., Sunday Jan 2 at 1438, RHC En Contacto, as Manolo had warned, is
repeating last week`s Xmas show listing by name and location all 150 of his
show`s ``oyentes activos`` during 2010y, with ``Jingle Bells`` in the
background. USA has five, not including me, but he did include H?ctor/Luigi
P?rez who is really in Puerto Rico, so we now know that Cuba recognizes US
sovereignty there.
13750 is the Sunday-only frequency originally for ``Al?, Presidente``, but it`s
another no-show by El Hugazo. Checking at 1532, 1600 and 1800 UT, 13750, 17750,
15370, 13680 and 11690 are all // mainstream RHC on 11730, 11760 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE [and non]. 7450, January 1 at 2204, ID for Radiophonik?s Stathm?s
Makedon?as, with het from the -15.6 kHz spur de WWCR 7465 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4052.5-, R. Verdad running late UT January 2, tune-in at 0616 to
hear the national anthem playing until about 0620, and now with a considerable
het from 4050, KWMO: see U S A. TGAV has been planning for weeks to move to
4055 once a new crystal has arrived and been installed, and this reminds us why
they should (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 13710, AIR GOS, Jan 2 at 1425 ID after talk about cloud computing,
into song. Good here, and unusually better than // 9690. Third frequency 11620
has something else atop, AIR // barely audible under. HFCC shows KTWR in
Korean, BBC Cyprus in Hindi! plus AIR all on 11620 at this time.
At 1434, 13710 is temporarily overmodulated/distorted with YL/YL interview,
plus background noise, bad recording but aired anyway. 1457 audio good again
from studio announcer with closing newscast. I must say he has a pleasing lilt
to his accent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525-, VOI missing Sunday Jan 2 at 1415, tho had been on in
Indonesian the days before. Was it also missing during 13-14 English? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KAZAKHSTAN. 6225, Sunday Jan 2 at 1408, screaming YL preacheress in North
American English, poor signal. Aoki says it`s Bible Voice, 200 kW, 132 degrees
via Almaty-Nikolayevka at 1405-1435, in English on Saturday & Sunday; Mandarin
on Mondays; other days only until 1420 in Cantonese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA [and non]. 15120, Jan 2 at 1517 weak signal seems in English,
presumed V. of Nigeria; however it may have some competition now as Victor
Goonetilleke says Family Radio is testing in English on 15120 via 35 kW Ekala,
SRI LANKA at 1330-1630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 7335, Jan 2 at 0334, surprised to find Golos Rossii instead of La
Voz de Rusia, i.e. in Russian instead of Spanish, via GUIANA FRENCH. Listened
for a while to be sure it was not just a clip about to be voice-overed into
Spanish. Still Russian at 0351, 0434, 0551. Another mixup in Mosc?, or
Montsin?ry? Or a 2011y sked change. Website still shows 7335 at 03-06 for
Spanish:
http://spanish.ruvr.ru/radio_broadcast/spa_schedule
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. 6075, at 0342 UT Jan 2 already has motorboating QRM to
Deutsche Welle, i.e. the R. Rossii transmitter on the air until 1401*. Sunset
Jan 2 in ``Kamchatka`` was 0520 UT per timeanddate.com which strangely does not
pin it down to a specific city, not necessarily Pet/Kam. But even so, at that
latitude at solstice, 6 MHz is obviously propagable eastward that early (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SLOVAKIA [non]. Checking for new RSI relay via WRMI, scheduled daily
0330-0400 in Spanish, UT January 2 at 0348: nothing but wall of noise
Dentro-Cuban jamming audible on 9955. I did not check the webstream (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) More under U S A
** UKRAINE. Several DXLD ygroup members reported RUI missing from SW as of
January 1, so I check 7440 after 0100 Jan 2: nothing heard. At least the big
transmitter appears off, not renewed for 2011y? There was no warning about a
yearend cutoff for it, but this has happened several times before, eventually
resuming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [and non]. 7445 with VG reception of BBCWS in English, Jan 2 at 0338
something scientific so guessed maybe ``Science In Action``, tho the primary
webstream has ``Global Business``. It`s 114 degrees from ASCENSION during this
hour only, but back-radiation does a good job for us.
5875 also often provides good BBCWS reception in the 05-07 period, 500 kW, 62
degrees via Rampisham, and so it was Jan 2 until 0658 until hit by DRM noise.
At first I thought it was from an adjacent, but HFCC shows BBC itself switches
from analog to DRM at 0700, now 40 kW, 300 degrees via AUSTRIA on
5870-5875-5880.
9740, BBCWS via SINGAPORE carries ``World of Music``, Sundays at 1432, as noted
with Algerian music, closing announcements with address at 1455 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9350, Jan 1 at 2155, surprised to hear a clarinet concerto on WWCR
during scheduled ``Golden Age of Radio Theater``. Audio processing on this
transmitter boosts everything to the max including quiet music passages. Maybe
just fill provided by USA network; it was allowed to finish, but no
back-announcement, WWCR ID, and 2159:40 starting USA-IRN `news` before hourtop!
Is the whole thing pre-recorded? Caster was Precious Watson (f.), wow, what a
name.
Yes, the DX Block is gone as of UT January 2 from WWCR 4840, checked after 0300
and 0330, replaced by more remunerative gospel-huxtering. Altho WORLD OF RADIO
was also missing from Sat 1700 on 12160, I confirmed it was still airing at
0730 UT Sunday January 2 on 3215, following a Girl Scouts PSA.
The January 1 WWCR program schedule has been posted on January 2:
http://www.wwcr.com/program-guides/WWCR_Program_Guide.pdf
It still shows WORLD OF RADIO Fri 2130 7465, Sat 1700 12160, Sun 0730 3215. It
no longer shows DX Partyline at all.
The new Ask WWCR show explains why 5890 was missing one night recently. #4
transmitter was down for a routine maintenance check, as it had been running
continuously since the flood in May (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3185, WWRB, supposedly running all-night from 0500 with Brother
Scare, absent at 0727 Jan 2, but back on at next check 1349 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, WRMI, Saturday Jan 1 at 2203 surprised to hear Jeff White with
historical talk about Curacao radio, i.e. Wavescan, without jamming! Previous
days at this hour it`s been a wall of noise including against WORLD OF RADIO on
Thursdays. See also SLOVAKIA [non]. At 0609 Sunday January 2, Encontro DX, in
Portuguese was underway, mostly over the pulse jamming as Arnie continues to
demonstrate his lack of respect for any DX program but his own (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9405, new frequency and extended schedule for WINB: January 2 at 0450
poor with preacher, hum, distortion and clinching it, the unstable carrier.
Media Network blog reported that as of UT Jan 1, WINB started overnight
0330-1130 UT on 9405 with ``Radio 2:11``, which has been adding more and more
airtime during the day, and already on WBCQ-9330, i.e. part of the Good Friends
Radio Network.
Why not just extend 9265? No one else is there overnight. The imaginary WMLK is
registered for 9265 at 04-09! And WINB has to respect that! It looks like 9405
is a good open frequency for WINB. But such a band puts it at a serious
competitive disadvantage to WWRB and WWCR which go down as low as the 3 MHz
band at night, 99% reliably propagating, and even WYFR which goes down to 5745.
I suspect that WINB simply cannot operate on any band lower than 9 MHz; I can`t
remember it ever doing so. The MUF varies around 10 MHz and you never know from
night to night whether 31m will be hopping or dead. At 0607 check, 9405 was
still very poor, but after 0700 had axually improved a bit.
There is no reason to think that 9405 is on any other beam than 13570 and 9265,
all transmissions at 242 degrees to CIRAF 10 and 11, i.e. Mexico, Central
America and Caribbean, altho 242 really aims at Nashville, Houston, Laredo, and
Tuxpan.
Once again on Sunday Jan 2, 13570 is on the air earlier than before, already at
1414, YL preacher with strange accent, Filipina? At 1422 besides wobbly
carrier, it`s evidently reduced so under-modulation makes the S-meter fluxuate.
WINB website schedule still shows in ``EDT`!:
0630 - 1100 9265 kHz
1100 - 1700 13570 kHz
1700 - 2300 9265 kHz
Obviously outdated and missing the latest news about 9405, earlier 13570.
What`s left of 9265? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7506v, WRNO still missing January 2 at 0339 check (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 4050-, slightly on low side compared to 1050 and 6050, US commercial
station Jan 2 at 0617 with het from TGAV 4052.5, see GUATEMALA. Previously IDed
as third harmonic of KWMO, 1350, Washington MO. Now there is an adstring in
English with 800 numbers, the first one by a YL about makeup; next one with
800-531-5376, or maybe 521-5375; third one with 800-897-1987 or maybe 397-1987.
Then into country music, but fading down. Despite frequent logs of TGAV, had
not heard KWMO for a few months and was wondering if they had fixed the
harmonic. Occasional appearances may be due to running day power at night,
and/or unusually favorable propagation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7415, WBCQ still on the air much later than usual, UT Sunday Jan 2 at
0703 with preacher, then Ted Randall saying it had been part of his QSO Radio
show, antenna plug, WBCQ ID by Ted and then dead air. I assume WBCQ shortly
signed itself off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 9725, Jan 2 at 1455 open carrier, 1459 VOA YDD sign-on, 1500
``welcome to the Voice of America, in Vietnamese!``. Is the 50 kW ``PHX`` unit
in the PHILIPPINES at 285 degrees but sufficient here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. 6297+, Jan 2 at 0725, SASASAM holding up nicely with
chanting accompanied by percussion instruments, chorus (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Grigoriopol-MDA, and 7470 formerly on Mykolaiev-UKR site. And via local FM
