Subject: [HCDX] One from the way back machine

I had been saying to myself recently, "Remember the good old days in
the 1970's and 1980's when we looked forward to the arrival of
our favourite DX Club magazine?
And how I wished that it would have been nice to keep a
couple of copies of my personal favourite, SPEEDX.
Although my contributions were generally pretty light, it was one
of the highlights of the DX/SWL experience: to actually contribute to
something - to be part of something as exciting as DXing was way back when.
I had done a few Google searches over the years - finding nothing other than
a footnote in history - a short explanation of what SPEEDX was and its
impact on the scene. Imagine my delight when I found an online resource of
dozens and dozens of PDF downloads of the magazines!
http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Speedx.htm
Some months and years are missing but there is hope that those
of us that held on to the zines over the years may fill in the holes.
I imagine a few of us on HCDX, IRCA and others were part of this mania
at the time - there was nothing like it in the years to come - Sure, these
are interesting radio times
but there was something about the early days of youth and innocence and the
sheer freshness of the radio experience early on.
And to those of you on the list, that were once members of a Shortwave radio
club with a monthly self-published zine... Hello! Remember the good old
days?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
** ANGOLA. 4949.72, March 31 at 0105, RNA with music at S9+15. Good modulation
since latest hiatus (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL [non]. 6180 & 11780, March 31 at 0058, RNA/RNB is still silent, for
the eleventh night in a row (presumably, altho I missed checking on the tenth).
6180 however bears the JBA carrier from CRI East Turkistan (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COLOMBIA. 5910, March 31 at 0102, no signal from Alcarav?n Radio now that
there`s no CCI from Romania. Still off at 0559. However,
6010.133, March 31 at 0559, music at S6-S8, presumed sibling station The Voice
of Thy Conscience (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 13740, March 30 at 2201, finally catch an RHC frequency announcement
in Spanish, as if opening the multi-target tarde program, but really amid it,
in typical Soviet-style disorder: 13740, 11670, 11760, 11840, 9535, 9710, 5040.
Those seem about correct tho I don`t have a chance to confirm each one right
now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 7435, March 31 at 0556, pulse jamming just in case, but
wall-of-noise has now found R. Mart? on 7365 at this hour, which however is
atop the jamming here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 9475, March 31 at 1325, very poor signal with talk, while WTWW is
still safely on night frequency 5830. In A-17, KSDA is now scheduled 12-14 on
9475 in various Chinese languages. So they are willing to risk collisions when
WTWW forgets to switch to 5830 at night (Glenn Hauser, oK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 6040, March 31 at 1300, Shiokaze opening with music is
very poor at S6 on latest new frequency, tnx to Ron Howard tip, since March 26
for first portion of A-17. We are now into the yearpart when 6 MHz is just too
low for decent propagation this far into the dayside (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6185, March 31 at 0057, Radio Educaci?n announcing a long list of
affiliate stations around the country, all or mostly on FM. Wish I had been
recording to copy them all. Are they 100% relays? S9+25 and good modulation,
much improved. Hope XEPPM can keep that up, especially with no Brazilian ACI
from 6180. Note that DF goes on DST April 2, so this will be closing at 0500*
instead of 0600*.
Strangely, they have two rather different websites:
https://www.e-radio.edu.mx/
http://www.radioeducacion.edu.mx/
Where I find no affiliate listings. Monthly program sked grids are at
http://www.radioeducacion.edu.mx/carta-programatica-del-mes
the lower one for SW 6185 only, at 18-24 local, soon to be 23-05 UT. But we
think it`s often on air before 23, presumably carrying MW 1060 program feed;
not in local mornings (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 7425, March 31 at 1258, RNZI is VP with QSY announcement to
5995, which from *1259 is relatively good as to be expected (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGET)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 5810, March 31 at 0604 UT as I am tuning past WEWN, the
DJ is talking about two new Catholic frequencies about to launch ``muy pronto``
in Oklahoma City! And will carry EWTN. No details beyond that. Anything likely
in the OKC listings here?
http://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/locate?select=city&city=OKLAHOMA+CITY&x=12&y=5
Format column makes no distinxion for Catholic among other Christians, or even
``Religious`` (safely assuming that too is nothing but some Christian ilk).
However ``Spanish Christian`` applies only to 93.9 KWDW-LP. Nothing on its
website about EWTN nor any other frequency: https://www.salvacionradio.org/
I don`t find any affiliate list linked at
http://www.ewtn.com/espanol/index.asp
but I do notice that the clock in lower right, clicking second-by-second, with
``times in different cities`` is way off, and apparently not reading my
computer clock either. At 1619 UT it claims the time in Miami is 9:00:00 am,
and also in Bogot?, which is one hour behind Miami, etc., etc. Don`t you
believe anything else asserted by WEWN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 90.1 FM, March 31 at 0540 past 0550 UT, KUCO dead air, net feed
from WCPE overnight classical having failed. This could go on for hours, unless
someone of KUCO be awakened to fix it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 92.1 FM, whenever checked, no signal from KAMG-LP, Enid, in the
past two weeks or so, after lots of dead air. Gone for good? (Glenn Hauser,
March 31, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, March 31 at 0059, carrier from R. Chaski axually with some
talk/music mod audible, presumably usual network feed from Red Radio
Integridad; until autocutoff at 0104:11*, which is 14 seconds later than two
nights ago, March 29 until 0103:57*, = averaging 7 later per. The slippage rate
seems to be varying slightly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1871 monitoring: confirmed Thursday March 30
at 2130 on WRMI 11580, fair-good. Also confirmed Thu Mar 30 at 2330 on WBCQ
9329.138v-CUSB, fair. Next:
Fri 2230 WRMI 11580 to NE, 5950 to S

Wed 2100 WBCQ 7490v to WSW
Wed 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7490, Thursday March 30 at 2335, WBCQ 7490 with music, AHW`s
fundraiser promo, and then Ramsey suggesting alternatively sending money to
WBCQ in the p-mail. So `Furthermore 29-54` replay is again occupying the former
`Broad Spectrum Radio` slot. I wonder if BSR is still on any of the other
stations? The WBCQ program schedule,
http://schedule.wbcq.com/index.php?fn=sked&freq=7490
is getting more and more outdated, still showing a full hour of BSR at 23-24
Thursdays, which stopped months ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11580, March 31 at 1307, WRMI with `World Music` segment, a song
about a gay man (or is it a Cayman??), next one in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7504.96v, March 31 at 0101, open carrier at S9+30, so WRNO is back on
after missing a few nights per Ron Howard observations. I don`t hang around to
hear if they start modulating during the nominal 01-04 UT span for DST season
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
