** COSTA RICA. 17725-18215, July 20 At 1953, the total range of spiky spurfield
from REE 17850 transmitter, worst 17855-18000 or so. Fundamental also distorted
forcing modulation to ooze out around the edges. Probably same unit which
behaves likewise periodically from 9630 at night. Why are there not any:
1, reports from other DXers/SWLs? Just ignore when it happen?
2, awareness and fixness on the part of REE
3, complaints from `professional` monitors, e.g. ITU
4, complaints from countless other stations affected
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11760, July 21 at 1128, modulation on this RHC transmitter is still
breaking up; I`m afraid it` something worse than a bad patchcord; while 11690
and 11860 are OK.
The POS 9540 RHC transmitter is also out of whack again today, July 21 at 1132,
this time putting an FMy spurblob circa 9525, with extremely distorted
modulation matchable to 9550. Tough luck for Indonesia 9526, in addition to it
self-inflicted problems. Anyway cleared 9540 for something in Chinese at 1148,
i.e. CRI Beijing site during this hour. Commies not vs Commies! (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 9965, July 20 at 2358, very poor unID signal, maybe R. Cairo. They
were supposedly just moving the 2300-2430 English to E North America here from
6270, which was hardly appropriate for the summer, tho HFCC shows 9965
effective from Abis ever since 25 March! Nothing audible in the noise on 6270,
but inconclusive long before sunset. 9965 is also supposed to continue in
Arabic at 0030-0430, and at 0128 check there is still something there, can`t
tell if just a carrier, or typical Cairo under/non-modulation.
9315 is also supposed to be replaced by 9720 for Spanish at 0045-0200 and
English at 0200-0330. At 0128 there is still a carrier on 9315, altho the
Arabic channel 9305 is again absent despite scheduling. Nothing on 9720.
Another check at 0257: 9305 is now on as is 9315, and 9965 has achieved some
awful modulation, can`t discern language, but timesignal at 0300 is 18 seconds
late (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 11850, July 20 at 2053, poor signal in French with a squealing
transmitter (I think), never any ID caught until partial timesignal, 3 pips or
so at 2100, then open carrier to 2100:52*. HFCC shows it`s NHK via MADAGASCAR,
2030-2100, 250 kW, 305 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 710, July 21 at 1106, XEDP, Ciudad Cuauht?moc, Chihuahua goes from
multi-verse choral NA to ``Soy Soldado``, super-patriotic militaristic pledge
of allegiance, spoken by a male rather than sung; 1109 segu? to state song with
Chihuahua mentioned several times, tenor with choir and band. 1110.5 a male
prays briefly to Jesus, then a female sings to be pardoned. Finally sign on
with their new(?) FM getting top billing, XHDP 89.9 10 kW, y XEDP 710, 5 kW, La
Ranchera, street address, another station of Grupo BM Radio, finally usual
jingle ID as XEDP, 1113 live DJ mentions 89.7 only, 1120 time as 5:20, 1125
song ``El Borracho`` (The Drunkard). Since I heard a Low German gospel-huxter
yesterday at this time, I was trying to catch when that started, but not at all
on this Sabbath by 1128.
A super signal and very steady, hardly any fades. I would have rated it 50 kW,
not just 5; finally started to fade around 1137, a few minutes after LSR here.
WRTH and Cant? give it 7 kW, big deal. Cant? also shows 89.7 with the real
callsign XHEDP, so some previous holder of XHDP must have objected to such an
usurpation. Since many letters of the Spanish alfabet end in the syllable -e,
including ache, the intrusive E in the middle of the official callsign can
easily be swallowed, unheard. I bet that`s why SCT picked it for this purpose.
The jingles produced long ago still just say XEDP (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 7570, July 21 at 0439 check, the 0400 hour of RTI via WYFR for
the third night is in the wrong language, English instead of Spanish. Do they
have any Spanish listeners who care and might inform them? Late last year, such
language mixups went on for weeks and weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1626 monitoring: confirmed on Area 51 via WBCQ
5110v-CUSB, UT Saturday July 21 from 0130:40. Further airings:
Sat 1730, Sun 0800, 1530, 1730, Mon 0500, 1130 on WRMI 9955.
UT Sun 0400 on WTWW 5755
Tuesday 0930 on HLR 5980
Also on WRN via SiriusXM 120: Sat & Sun 1730, Sun 0830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. At 1219 UT July 21 I discovered NPR `Weekend Edition Saturday` at
unusual places on the FM dial, notably 90.9 with ID as Iowa Public Radio, i.e.
KUNI Cedar Falls, 514 miles, but soon turned my attention to TV the rest of the
morning for big tropo opening from as far as Austin MN, mostly DTV on UHF, but
a few analogs too, to be compiled later (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 12050, July 20 at 2101, WEWN relaying Vatican Radio in
Spanish alleging that the Pope`s travels are newsworthy; very good signal, much
stronger than // 13830.
Those who are anticipating Vatican-withdrawal after the Sackville relays in
English cease July 31, might turn to WEWN. Besides this in Spanish, the current
English schedule grid at
http://www.ewtn.com/radio/download/Shortwave_Grid.pdf
shows three segments with Vatican in the title, but not the same:
Sunday 1730-1800 on 15610, `Vatican Radio Weekend`,
Saturday 1330-1400 on 15615, and UT Sunday 0130-0200 on 11520, `Vatican
Insider` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. Before all the DTV tropo TVDX from Iowa and neighboring states is
quite finished, Es fires up July 21, UT and the antenna is already conveniently
NNE:
1605 on 2, some video starts to show
1747 on 2, some more video as MUF edges up again
1755 on 2, tentative Global bug LR, maybe one of the pair in Ontario rather
than Manitoba this time, as per 1817 log
1808 on 2, 3, 4, CCI
1817 on 2, video het of 440 Hz = A above middle C on my keyboard. A giveaway
for the always off-frequency CKCO-2 in Wiarton Ontario, as discussed a biyear
ago in DXLD 10-28, measured by Bill Hepburn then:
``55.240.66v CKCO-2 Wiarton, ON``, i.e. 660 Hz off of exact channel
2-minus-offset stations, such as the other CTV station, CHBX in Sault Ste
Marie; it had varied down to as little as 300 Hz off
Nothing more including break for lunch and nap, until:
2048 on 2, signs of Es video again with antenna still north; nothing develops
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COLOMBIA. 14950.75v, another check for Salem Stereo, July 22 around 0220: no
signal. Then I get a reply to my inquiry about why we had not heard them for a
week, `No se oye m?s en Oklahoma``:
``Dios te bendiga, Sr. Guillermo Glenn Hauser, Me da mucha alegr?a saludarle y
saber que nos han escuchado, le informo que en estos d?as hemos tenido
problemas con nuestros equipos de trasmisi?n en onda corta 14950 KHz, pero Dios
mediante en unos diez d?as volvemos al aire para nos escue [? sic]. Le deseo
muchas bendiciones del Se?or y ya le estaremos informando cuando volvamos al
aire. La Paz de Cristo, Atte:
LUIS EMILIOTORRES GARZ?N, Pastor y Director de Salem Stereo``
Says they have problems with the SW equipment but hope to be back on the air in
ten days or so (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COSTA RICA. 17740-18200, July 21 at 1856, for third day, REE Cariari relay
is again splattering all over the 16m band and beyond, while 17850 fundamental
is distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 11890, July 21 at 2155, checking whether R. Cairo has moved English
here from 6270 as alleged, 2115-2245 to Europe. There is a very poor,
undermodulated signal here, intonation could be English. Too early to hear 6270
if it were still on. Nothing else scheduled here, so maybe it is really Cairo.
HFCC entry now shows both 11890 and 6270 for this broadcast since 25 March,
obviously not true. Altho HFCC has columns for specific start and stop dates,
too many registrants just put start/end of season including imaginary wooden
ones. I`ve yet to see any reports of 11890 from Europe where it should be easy
to confirm this.
Other frequencies checked July 22 at 0220: 9305 General Arabic service is
nothing but a huge buzz, no program modulation at all, and extends gradually
out to 9275 and 9327 (probably further up if not for 9330 WBCQ).
9315 is confirmed still in English with 0222 ID for North American service,
undermodulated, much weaker than 9305 and suffering from its spurbuzz! 9720
nothing. 9965 in Arabic with music interspersed, extremely distorted modulation
but no spurs. At 0400, 9305 is still buzzing but a little weaker, 9315 is off
and 9965 continues as before (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. One of the references to XEDP 710`s FM frequency in last report had
a typo: it`s 89.7, not 89.9 (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1626 monitoring: confirmed starting 0359:40 UT Sunday
July 22 on very good signal from WTWW 5755, but with usual interruption for
legal ID at hourtop. Other repeats, on WRMI 9955 are: Sun 0800, 1530, 1730, Mon
0500, 1130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7506.4, July 22 at 0359 checking WRNO: rock music runs a bit past
0400, and it`s quite distorted. No one would listen to that voluntarily. Kyle
somebody starts a sign-off announcement for ``Contemporary Hit Radio, WRNO``
claiming to be on 7505, from transmitter at New Orleans, Louisiana, but is cut
off the air before he can finish. Signal anyway very strong (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Large tropo TV and FM DX opening from as far away as Minnesota,
morning of Saturday July 21, all times UT. First noted on FM portable DX-398
with whip, NPR `Weekend Edition Saturday` on 90.1 totally overriding KCSC OKC,
i.e. R. Kansas. This is always the #2 station on 90.1 here, but obviously tropo
from the north is way up now. Also gospel music could override 91.7 KOSU with
antenna in certain positions.
1219 break in NPR on 90.9 brought Iowa Public Radio ID, i.e. KUNI Cedar Falls.
Another unID NPR On 91.5 not synchronized, probably KANU Lawrence KS. And on
89.5, maybe only KWGS Tulsa.
93.1 had RDS of ``MY 93.1 / AT40 WITH / RYAN SEACREST``. That slogan goes with
KHMY Hutchinson KS. My local 93.1 translator probably off, but could have been
overridden. After a quick breakfast of strawberries and home-grown hazelnuts, I
then turned attention to TVDX.
With antenna NNE-ward, first stepped thru all the TV channels manually on the
Zenith converter at 1240-1249 UT. There was at least a `bad` signal on most of
them. Some channels with no signal at all were the OKC ones, which normally
achieve some level of signal, even decoding with antenna way off from true
direxion of SSE. This was probably not due to lack of strength, but to
co-channel QRM from other DX stations.
4, bad, only one around is WHBF Rock Island IL; see 36 definite log
5, bad, no doubt WOI Ames IA; see 23
8, KPTS Wichita
9, bad

11, KTWU Topeka
12, bad

23, KCWI, Ames IA, very good
26, bad

34, WDAF-DT Kansas City
35, bad
36, KWQC-TV, 6-1, NBC, Davenport IA
38, bad

42, bad
43, bad
45, KSNW-DT, 3-1 Wichita [other Wichitans ignored]
46, bad
47, bad
48, bad
49, bad
After this, rest of log has been reorganized from time to RF channel order
first, as there are multiple entries for many stations. P = still photographs
made. In many cases I did not have the time to check subchannels, as I wanted
to be sure to ID and photo the main channel
4 at 1259, peaks NNE rather than N, but never enough to decode, presumed WHBF
Rock Island IL; gone by 1354 while 5 and 9 still in
5 at 1354, bad signal but DTV presumed WOI-TV Ames IA, NNE rather than N;
still there at 1509 when 23 Ames was definite
9 at 1322, KCRG-DT, 9-1, Cedar Rapids IA P; 1327 on 9-1 P a promo for 9-2
programming, but I didn`t get to see 9-2 itself
11 at 1329, KTWU ID with translators shown, Topeka KS, P
12 at 1503, NET-HD, 12-1; 1504 P with program guide and P at 1505. I.e. KUON-TV
Lincoln NE. Pleased with this as it had to surpass Wichita/Hutchinson almost
same direxion
14 at 1404, KAAS-DT, 17-1, P. Must really be 40 kW KOCW Hoisington KS, relaying
KSAS 26 Wichita thru KAAS-TV Salina which is on RF 17! Note that a different
KAAS-LP in the same Fox/Wichita group is on 31 in Garden City
16 at 1256, KDSM-DT, 17-1, Des Moines IA; at 1332 P KDSM-DT 17-1 PSIP shows but
no signal now
18 at 1340, KCPT-3, 19-2, P, Create subchannel with program guide display,
Kansas City MO
20 at 1249, KETV, 7-1, local `Newscenter 7`, Omaha NE; at 1448, 7-2 is MeTV
with B&W music video
22 at 1256, WOWT, 6-1 Omaha; 1334 ID P
23 at 1335, KCWI, 23-1, PSIP ID P but no signal now; 1341 P KCWI 23-1 with
program guide, Ames IA; still at 1509, 1510 P with program guides; still a bad
signal bar at 1625
25 at 1359, KTIN-HD, 21-1 P. I had noticed that Mountainlake tropo map showed
big red blob extending all the way from IL to SE Arizona!! I don`t believe
there is really any tropo west of here, but had turned antenna toward WSW just
in case, and caught this which I had not seen with antenna NNE. Fort Dodge IA,
P. Also at 1439 P KTIN-HD, 21-1; 21-2 is KTINSD1, 21-3 is KTINSD2; IPTV bug in
LR
28 at 1427, KSIN-TV, 27-1, Iowa Public TV, P, Sioux City
34 at 1313, WDAF-SD PSIP ID on 4-2, Kansas City MO; 1336 P WDAF DT PSIP on 4-1
36 circa 1246, see initial scan above, definite KWQC-TV, 6-1, Davenport IA, but
next log on 36 was something else: [WOC-TV somehow morphed into KWQC over the
years: ignore the tail on the Q?]
36 at 1419, KAAL-DT, 6-1, about animals in Namibia, P, Austin MN, 620 kW at 565
miles per city-to-city calculator; best catch of the opening by distance
38 at 1513, KXVO, 15-1, Omaha NE, P; 15-2 is more interesting with Azteca
America, which we do not get around here on air or cable; lots of network
promos P; still in at 1551
41 at 1425, KTIV-HD, 4-1, P, NBC Kids, Sioux City IA; at 1437 checked 4-2 and
it`s KTIV-CW
43 at 1621, no signal but also shows 43-1 with a `bad` signal bar now
48 at 1603, no signal but dim PSIP shows 48-1, i.e. same channel; ideas what
that might have been? Can`t tell from W9WI.com which does not show virtual
channels, a major drawback. There are no full-power DTVs on 48 in KS, MO, IA,
NE or MN! Not WXOW Lacrosse WI, = virtual 19
By 1625 most remaining DTV DX signals are `bad` so I quit chasing them. Note
that by local mean time, i.e. correlating with the Sun, 1625 UT = only 0953, so
about time to burn off; local Enid temp at 1621: 98.6 F --- besides, Es has
started up on channel 2 at 1605, conveniently also from north; see CANADA, did
not amount to much.
Separate NTSC, analog log:
17 at 1407, discussion among women from NNE, presumed KETM-LP Emporia KS, ``Fox
6`` listed, 22.3 kW; have had this one before
28 at 1259, weak signal from NNE, presumed the only one around, KWKD-LP, 8.8
kW, Daystar in Wichita KS; normally invisible here; at 1407 video had locked in
during a magic demonstration? Shell game or something on a table
30 at 1408, video no horizontal lock until rotated NNW; video appears to have
some kind of QRM or breakup, relayed CCI? but not digital tiling; `Jack Hanna`s
Wild Countdown` as also on KAKE-21, with the 30 analog video slightly ahead of
digital 21. Presumed KGBD-LP, Great Bend KS, 8.4 kW KAKE relayer
38 at 1409, weak video same as 30, i.e. K38GH Russell KS, 7.2 kW relay of KGBD
of KAKE (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 13640, July 21 just as I tune in at 1903, an open carrier goes
off*. Only thing scheduled is AIR 500 kW, 300 degrees from Bengaluru in Arabic
until 1945, then French to 2030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15170-15175-15180, July 21 at 1852 past 1900, unknown DRM signal
here, very strong and much stronger than 15115-15120-15125 Voice of Nigeria.
Could find nothing in DRM schedules or fora about this. In fact, only one
analog transmission earlier in the day from India is scheduled on 15175. But I
could also hear a weak AM carrier under the noise on 15175. A tree in the
forest, falling with no notification to the few DRM enthusiasts who might want
to listen (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
