** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 15340, Sept 2 at 1305, HCJB is so strong with dense S
Asian music, that the sideband envelope is annoying if you off-tune slightly.
Reception from this has been quite reliable lately; is it just seasonal, or is
there something about their new transmitter site antennas near Kununurra? 1314
switched to English devotional for a minute, 1315 back to S Asian language,
mentioned Punjabi. However, EiBi shows Punjabi on Fridays, Malayalam on
Sundays, after 1300 Nepali daily. Aoki has quite a different lineup: Sundays at
1315 going from Punjabi to Bhojpuri. That matches the ultimate(?) source,
http://www.hcjb.org.au/docs/A12_Schedule_HCJB_Australia_20120325-20121027.pdf
but labeled as ``version 1.0`` implying there should be a newer one by now.
Once again no sign of RHC --- until it cut on 15340, overriding HCJB for less
than a minute at 1326, long enough to get in some tiresome complaints about,
what else? Los 5. Recheck 1359, still no RHC, as HCJB has unison prayer,
``amen``, going from Hindi to Urdu (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BANGLADESH. 15105, Sept 2 at 1331, no BB signal audible here nor on 15505;
ditto at 1409. Art Delibert in Massachusetts also says the 1230-1300 English
segment was missing from both frequencies on Aug 31 and Sept 1. Has anyone been
hearing them in last few days? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11780, Sept 2 at 0442, RNA is on with music, distorted modulation;
seems less so on // 6180. Previous night Sept 1 at 01-02+, Grayson Watson in TX
was unable to hear 11780, apparently off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Sept 2 before 1400, incomplete scans, just noted:
15490, good at 1358 with flutter, het on lo side, ex-15495
15495, fair at 1330 with flutter, noise jamming added
15565, good at 1330 with flutter
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COLOMBIA. 14950.72, Sept 2 at 0125, checking Salem Stereo with the DX-398 on
the porch during hymnsong, I measure frequency by the 40-Hz- per-click method
on the DX-398 compared to WWVH 15000.000, but consider the last digit
approximate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, Sept 2 at 0507, over-assertive gospel huxter in
English; good signal, and much clearer than Nigeria 15120. R. Africa must have
just come on in last few minutes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 15630, Sept 1 at 1918, ERT with ``Zorba the Greek`` theme, second
time recently I have run across them playing this warhorse, strange. But they
do play a lot of other music too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 9955, Sept 2 at 1408, Chinesish on weak signal, listed KTWR in Yui on
Sundays; no jamming, and no WRMI, unless it caused a JBA SAH (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6185, Sept 2 at 0442, XEPPM is just barely modulated, a bad idea
especially with Brazil blasting away on 6180. Same old story (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 15120, Sept 2 at 0445, VON has VG S9+18 signal tonight, tone ends
and starting percussive IS plus humwhine; way over CRI CCI barely audible. At
0456 program summary, rather muffled modulation and still humwhine bothering
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENIG DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 930, Sunday Sept 2 at 1206 UT, WKY OKC is still condescending to
broadcast in perfect English for this semihour only, pubaffs interview show
mentioning http://limpsforlife.org and other health matters, OU Medical Center;
by 1229 it was back to Spanish music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OMAN. 15365, Sept 2 at 0446, poor signal with heavy flutter discussing
falling asleep at the wheel. HFCC shows it`s BBCWS at 03-06, 250 kW, 20 degrees
from OMAN, not usually audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [non]. 15760, Sept 2 at 0451 country music fair with flutter, English
announcement, ``Goin` Out of Town``; then I realize it`s the only other VOR
frequency besides VG 13775 to North America which is //. HFCC shows 04-06, 500
kW, 267 degrees from TAJIKISTAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TATARSTAN [non]. 15110, Sept 2 at 0457, bouncy Russish song, good with
flutter; 0459 announcement mentions Tatarstan, stops just before 0500 and off.
Is Tatarstan Wave, 250 kW, 60 degrees from Samara. EiBi shows language is
Tatar, not Russian; need to listen to this more from 0410 start for the music
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 9515, UT Sunday Sept 2 at 0314 I don`t even attempt to hear V. of
Turkey to NAm, since it`s more convenient to listen online. Except playing
today`s archived broadcast was easier than finding and getting the live stream
to work. I wanted to hear how the fortnightly `DX Corner` is doing, and would
have missed the first part anyway, since on the file it started at :11 minutes
in, and lasted all the way to :28 including a lengthy music break. The theme
music has changed, and the accented host is now Omar, who opened by crediting
Alokesh Gupta`s blog from which he drew the first items, apparently read in
full: R. Free Asia`s new QSL; community radio somewhere (in India?); English
programming on FM from Oman. After the music, mentioned dxersguide.blogspot.com
and an e-book; job opening for a female somewhere, impossible to understand the
URL given which he did not spell out. I`m afraid there was nothing amounting to
genuine DX news on the show!
Followed by a brand-new `Question of the Month`, which I successfully answered
after a bit of googling (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 15185, Sept 1 at 2046, surprised to hear a fair signal here,
and in English; deliberate talk about teaching comparative religion, as opposed
to teaching a particular religion. Soon into French translation, so it`s a
language lesson; 2049, ``goodbye`` and 2051 ID as ``La Voix de l`Am?rique``,
giving transmission times. This frequency is on only one hour a week extending
the daily broadcast beyond 2030, Sat & Sun 2030-2100, 100 kW, 10 degrees from
BOTSWANA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7506.4, Sept 2 at 0125, WRNO still absent. Richard Lewis sees the
power back on in the area, so should be back on tonight, unless there was
damage to transmitter and/or antenna (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 9860, Sunday Sept 2 at 0126, another check for WHRI which
had been radiating nasty parasitic spurs on both sides during this hour, but
not on the air. Must be because the only paid programming, `TruNews`, is M-F
only (UT Tue-Sat). Don`t you believe the Angel 6 schedule
http://www.whr.org/customcf/dsp_schedule_read.cfm?Search=Angel6
or any other one from WHR, which claims 9860 is carrying `DXing With Cumbre` UT
Sun & Mon at 0100. This uncovered a very weak signal from something else on
9860; HFCC shows Iran in Spanish at 0030-0330.
However there was a no doubt unrelated big uteblob intruder covering 9872-9877
approx. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6935-SSB, Sept 2 at 0513-0519+ very poor signal with music not
recognized, some pirate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11995, the open carrier with hum I have been hearing every night
before and after 0500: finally on Sept 2 I resolve to catch it signing on,
tuned in at 0441, but tonight it never showed up by my QRT at 0524! Maybe the
source finally realized they were burning megawatts for nothing. Maybe2 at the
HFCC just concluded in Paris, someone clued in TDF about it (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Hi Dave,
Typical of V. of Tibet, via Tajikistan. See the Aoki list entries on all these
split, jammed frequencies, tho the exact ones and times may not match what you
heard.

___________________________________
Hi there
Did you know that the Radio Heritage Foundation keeps radio memories
safe for Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific and Asia! We also look
after various radio guides you may have recently used. We're a busy
bunch of volunteers!
We're also kept busy with amateur radio history [many thousands of
QSL cards to catalog], vintage radio, US Armed Forces Radio history
and many other aspects of broadcasting across the entire region
including the Americas. We also have a wonderful collection of
European radio features including rare audio and images.
Sharing a Success Story #2
__________________________
I'd like to share a remarkable story about how people like you help
keep these memories alive. Back in the early 1950's, tiny Canton
Island in the central Pacific was a refuelling stop for trans-Pacific
flights. US vice-president Richard Nixon spent about 90 minutes there
en route to Australia and New Zealand in 1953.
Fred Carpenter at local radio KIBS scored a coup by interviewing
Nixon and Mrs Nixon. The tapes were lost for almost 60 years,
recently discovered and recordings sent to us. It's a remarkable
tape with a very relaxed Mr Nixon chatting about his coming trip to
the Pacific and Asia.
We've got the full interview for you, heard for the first time
outside Canton Island in almost 60 years, in a special radio show on
Radio New Zealand International, their Mailbox program broadcast on
October 15. Later, it'll be released as a feature on our website and
broadcast via WRMI Miami on the Wavescan program.
Without the kindness of Fred's son, these tapes would have been lost
forever and we know many of you also have memories, tapes and items
about stations, personalities and events. We know, because we get
them all the time!
It's marvellous to keep these memories safe, in fact it's a privilege
to do so, and we're happy so many thousands of you find our website
and find things of interest.
Our radio guides are very popular, and we spend a lot of time keeping
these updated, tracking down new stations and keeping them up to date.
We're all volunteers, and can find different ways to help. Right now,
the biggest way you can help is by making a donation towards our
regular operational costs of just over US$400 a week. These are the
bills we have to pay others just to be here!
Our August shortfall was US$1,440.42
___________________________________
August was mid-winter or mid-summer and we reached only 21% of our
needed budget. Now that spring has sprung and fall is calling, please
help us make up the shortfall of US$1,440.42 within the next few days
with your [currently NZ residents only] tax deductible donation.
Did you know we also have thousands of Asia-Pacific radio stations in
our popular PAL Radio Guide? We've just updated the new digital DAB
radio stations in the Australian Radio Guide. We also add around 150
new stations each year to the Kiwi Low Power FM Radio Guide! And have
almost 300 features about Asia-Pacific radio stations and
personalities for you to enjoy for free?
Your US$6.25 will help us a lot this month!
