On 3385 I am getting snatches of modulation, audio. Some music. This at
1235 UTC on 27 December. This could be Radio east New Britain. Carrier

UNID LA ? 4984.16, Unid. LA station, probably Andes QTH, noted again
with morning xmsn, weakly on 12/27. Probably nominal *1100, hrd at
1116 tune-by with OM in SS and what seemed very rustic OA folklorica
mx selections. Vy shrill quenas and YL chorus yipping at 1117. At
1120 lengthy anmt by OM in SS, hearing snippets of speech fragments
(?la alegria? and so forth) lasting to 1124. OM seemed to be intoning
and could have either been a prayer or rapid-fire SS as in a sports
report, really couldn?t make this out. At 1124, again Andes-flavored
melody. OM again at 1127 but now getting too weak, amidst building
noise level as LA propagation was ending. PFA in Lima, perhaps you
can solve this one? (Perry, Illinois)
ECUADOR ? 3380.06, presumed Centro Radial Imbabura (CRI), programming
abruptly ?there? at 1052 check, poor to fair signal on noisy morning
of 12/27, but holding up past 1110. (Perry, Illinois)
ECUADOR ? 4781.68, Radio Oriental, Tena, noted 1112 with big carrier
and good audio when playing recorded sound like ads, music, but audio
is all-but-lost when switching to live microphone for OM anmts in SS.
Canned ad for tienda selling fashionable clothing for ?las ninas y las
mujeres? located on ?Avenida Quince de Noviembre, Tena? . (Perry,
Illinois)
BRAZIL ? 6010.09, Radio Inconfidencia, Belo Horizonte, big signal
bombing in at 2230 12/24 with quick canned promo for futbol and then
and OM in PP with full ID ? . . . con la musica Brasilera . . . Radio
Inconfidencia!?. // 15190 also with a nice signal, but 6010 offering
much ?brighter? audio. (Perry, Illinois)

Any contact information of Avtoradio and Apsua Radio is much appreciated -
e-mail or postal address, it doesn't matter. I am interested in contacting
these stations. They are both relayed by Radio Abkhazia transmitters in the
disputed territory of Abkhazia in Georgia.
Here is a recording of them:

** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 27:
7550, poor at 1354 with het on hi side, like happens on 15 MHz vs V. of Tibet
via Tajikistan. Aoki does not show any on 7550+ but on 7550-:
7542 at 1342-1400, 7547 at 1300-1342, which may well have shifted.
7390, poor at 1354 mixing with something intermittently in English, presumably
language lesson during VOA Cantonese via Tinang, PHILIPPINES (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CROATIA [and non]. 7375, Dec 27 at 0556, checking V. of Croatia via Nauen,
GERMANY, as time is running out. Usual lot of pop vocal music; another song
starts at 0559, only to be faded out a few sex before 0600 for a sign-off
announcement, concluding with only three widely-spaced time pips, then
transmitter off. At mid-winter, even this frequency is subject to fade-outs,
above the MUF, but fair tonight.
Time running out? I don`t mean just tonight, I mean forever. Horacio Nigro had
just forwarded news from Leonardo Nicol?s Emmanuel Reiman, Salta, Argentina, on
Facebook wall, "Historias de Radio", with a YouTube recording of their Spanish
broadcast announcing that SW broadcasts would be terminated as of January 1.
Then I also found an announcement about that on their website with SW and
satellite schedules, in Croatian, saying the same thing as translated. This
applies not only to the Germany and Singapore relays, but also to their own
transmitter inside Croatia on 7370 day and 3985 night:
``From the first January 2013, this program will no longer be broadcast on
shortwave. You'll still be able to find us on the medium wave in Europe and on
the satellite and the Internet for the whole world. Funds which have hitherto
been used to service the transmission on short wave will be used to offer
diverse content of this program, including the launch of multimedia content.``
MW refers to 600 kW on 1134 kHz, but which is off the air after 00 UT. Don`t
you believe the VOACAP propagation coverage map for it which is really
theoretical for something at 2.0 MHz! So yet another SW broadcaster cuts its
own throat, expecting to retain an audience on satellite and internet. The MW
does make it to North America occasionally for the DXer, but hardly the
ordinary listener.
Meanwhile we can still hear the daily English broadcasts at 2315 and 0300 UT on
7375 and 3985, plus a few at other times: 07, 11, 17, 1905 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WORLD OF RADIO 1649, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 7475, Dec 27 at 0614, ERT with similar song playing to one on 9420,
but not //, so R. Filia is back tonight on 7475. You never know from one night
to the next whether these will be // or not during the 06-07 hour (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 5765-USB, Dec 27 at 1348, AFN ending fashion segment from ``Today on
NBC``, which probably lost something without the video; just at the edge of OTH
radar pulsing peaking 5805. I took it as an Xmas gift when first reheard Dec
25, but Bob Wilkner was hearing it again by Dec 21, and Ron Howard by Dec 22,
after having been off most of December, the first two sesquiweeks (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1649, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 11910, Dec 27 at 2221, Japanese I had not noticed before but since it
is // 11665 and synchronized, both are NHK direct from Yamata, at 290 and 235
degrees respectively, far off from their Asian targets here, but respectable
signals, especially 11665 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5985, Dec 27 at 1346, Shiokaze is back here, in Japanese
with typical sad piano music, ex-6135, in periodic frequency shuffle, which Ron
Howard says occurred Dec 26, and I still logged it on 6135, Dec 25. Now it`s
making the usual het with off-frequency Myanmar. Expect English on Friday at
1330-1430 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1649, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Channel A2 NTSC, Dec 27 at 2358 UT, signal fades in from south, with
net-5 bug in upper right; seems dubbed reality show including someone in a bear
suit; also with zero-beat CCI, only weak signal but at 0003 UT Dec 28, MUF
ascends briefly to ch A3 video, not // so at least we know this is not XHBQ
Zacatecas. Nothing more until another ch 2 fade-in at 0107 UT. Only weak
signals in fitful winter Es opening. 6m ham Es maps show most contacts are over
mid-America, centered over Missouri (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9625, 9660-9735, 10100-10125, and 10300-10340, approx. range of
modulation spike spurs but peaking around 9705, from WTWW-3, 9905 transmitter,
Dec 26 at 2136 check. Now they are worse than ever.
George McClintock continued to work on the problem and thanks us and some other
monitors for help with this. By Dec 27 at 1920 he thought he had solved the
problem and called us for another monitoring check. Yes, 9905 came on with
music, but no spurs! Nor at some later chex.
He explained it something like this if I copied it correctly: It seems the
neutralization capacitor needed adjustment once the fundamental frequency
changed from previous 9990. Maybe it was corroded. The screen current was also
wiggling. The neutralization circuit takes RF and feeds it back to the input to
be canceled, to keep the amplifier from oscillating. But the amp went into
self-oscillation with the RF at plus/minus 200 kHz or so.
Some other stations have exhibited a similar problem from time to time, so
perhaps they should take this into account. It`s satisfying to have helped a
station solve such a problem, unlike others which do nothing even when informed
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1649 monitoring: produxion finished just in time for
first airing, confirmed, on WTWW 9479, Thursday Dec 27 at 2200. Now the ``new
frequency 5830`` announcement has been removed, but the TOH legal ID has
resumed firing *after* WOR starts, covering up part of our intro. Otherwise
intact, unlike last week when 9479 was partly off the air. Further WOR
opportunities:
UT Fri 0430v on WWRB 3195 and 5050
UT Sat 0230v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB
Sat 0630 on HLR 7265, 1630 on 6190
Sat 0900, 1600, 1830; Sun 0900, 1630; Mon 0530; Tue 1200 on WRMI 9955
UT Sun 0500 on WTWW 5830
Sat 1830 on WRN via SiriusXM 120 (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN. 7250, once again Dec 27 at 0619, VR is on the air early with IS,
0620 Albanian, which is not supposed to be on SW any more. Poor signal tonight,
and may have been on considerably before 0619 in ``Scandinavian`` but not yet
noticed. Then checked 3975 and 6075, but they were not on yet before 0630 mass.
9645 probably not either, or not propagating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 880, Dec 27 at 1402 UT, good open carrier/dead air from E/W in
null of N/S KRVN NE. Most likely KLRG 50 kW in Arkansas; wonder if Fritze has
noticed such anomalies from his local. Since the one day I heard it carrying
`Canada Calling` at 1400-1405 from the WTAN network in Florida, I have not
heard KLRG again, either no signal, something else or now this. Nor is there
any Spanish audible, IDed yesterday before 1400 as from WIJR in IL.
By 1400 a bit of English preaching is audible, growing and overcoming the OCDA
at 1409 with `Insight for Living`. KHAC Window Rock AZ is now suspected and it
is on that ministry`s huge affiliate list, including scads of satellators,
which is searchable only by radii up to 150 miles from any zip code entered,
but for 10 am local = 1700 UT on KHAC. Does not appear for 880 in Little Rock
or St. Louis areas (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 880, Dec 27 at 1402 UT, while KRVN NE is in Fox `News`, I can
also hear a slight reverb/delay indicating a second Fox affiliate is under it
(besides the open carrier and other stuff in separate log when aimed into KRVN
null). Per NRC AM Log 2012, there are three other Fox affiliates on 880: KCMX,
1 kW in Oregon, very unlikely; more likely: KJJR Whitefish MT with 10/0.5 kW
non-direxional but which should still be on nite power; and most likely WMEQ in
Menomonie WI, 10/0.21 kW U2, which would now be on non-direxional day power
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
