** ALBANIA. 13625, Sept 7 at 1430: still nothing from R. Tirana. But Christian
Milling of Funkhaus Euskirchen, Germany informed us after yesterday`s query:
``Hi Glenn, Tirana: The studio to transmitter audiolink is defective. New
equipment is ordered and shall arrive and be installed in the next weeks``
(Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Sept 7, before 1200:
7970, very poor at 1142. Did not do a full bandscan in this segment.
Circa 1230:
10300, good at 1222
No others up to 18 MHz by 1228; propagation conditions degraded.
After 1300:
15430, JBA at 1306 with het on hi side, no doubt the jumpy V. of Tibet via
Tajikistan, which current Aoki shows on 15442 at this time. Aoki is often
updated every day, but as of Sept 7 it`s still headed:
``A11 Shortwave Frequency list August 26, 2011 2100UTC`` at
http://www.geocities.jp/binewsjp/userlist1.txt
so Aoki must be on a break (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 17865, Sept 7 at 1300, pulsing from the DentroCuban Jamming Command is
no match for the DRM noise just above it; third harmonic of 5955 transmitter vs
Radio Rep?blica which at this hour should be on 9965 instead, always jammed in
the daytime. Then found roughly equivalent signals from two more third harmonix
of Cuban jammers: 17670 at 1302, which is 3 x 5890, used by VOA Spanish only at
23-24 (Tue-Sat -01); and on 18090, 3 x 6030 vs R. Mart? which just closed at
1300. Way to go, incompetent DCJC, as countless Cubans go hungry while you
waste precious electricity.
12000 at 1309 Sept 7 with more needless jamming, a fundamental, vs non-VOA also
``needed`` only in evenings; at this time could not hear second harmonix of the
above third harmonix, i.e. 12060, 11910, 11780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 15055-15080, Sept 7 at 1308, OTH radar pulsing, presumed from here,
poor and fortunately just missing India weakie on 15050 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 9910, Sept 7 at 1221, Chinese with less than 1 kHz constant het on hi
side, KTWR vs jamming? Need to hear if KTWR cuts to DRM test at 1230, but
missed rechecking today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUIANA FRENCH. 17875-17880-17885, Sept 7 at 1300 found DRM noise already
roaring, but gone at 1402 recheck. The TDF test to Bras?lia is supposedly
running 13-16 until Sept 15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ITALY [non]. 15610, Sept 7 at 1313, JBA but sounds like Brother Scare, so no
loss today with poor propagation from IRRS via ROMANIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 17550, Sept 6 at 2044, carrier from R. Kuwait Arabic to C&W NAm is
JBA, as propagation conditions deteriorate; starting such a hi-latitude path at
such a high frequency at 11 pm local time is inadvisable except at midsummer.
Still fairly good on 15540, simultaneous English to NAm; that too is bound to
deteriorate as we get into winter, while RK continues to pretend it is on
11990. Meanwhile, we had super signal from RHC in Arabic on 17560 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Sunrise MW DX Sept 7; Heard NA on numerous frequencies around 1200
UT, but only caught one definite ID. It`s always a cat-and-mouse game, as they
often fade out before the NA is finished, and you never know whether it will be
a short, or long version with the same melody repeated over and over until
abrupt ending.
640, Sept 7 at 1201 after NA, ID as XEJUA, 5000 watts, Milenio, Ciudad Ju?rez,
and other sign-on data such as street address. Soon faded and I was hearing KFI
with not much signal yet from nulled nearby WWLS OK.
Cant? shows:
``640 XEJUA Milenio TV (audio del canal) Cd. Ju?rez, Chih. 5,000 D``
So he says it`s carrying soundtrack of this TV channel now! As recently as WRTH
2011, it was ``Radio Recuerdo, Canal 640``
Milenio is mainly a newspaper, but website http://www.milenio.com includes live
audio and video. I`ve not heard of it being TV on the air; maybe just pay cable
as implied in their contact info listing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAJIKISTAN. 11500, Sept 7 at 1223, poor signal, open carrier with hum
instead of VOR English relay; 1311 improved to fair signal, still no modulation
in silent Hindi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15825, Sept 6 at 2017, WWCR is once again enhanced by off-season
sporadic E on HF to VG signal of S9+22+, which also audiblizes the matching
modulation spike field approx. 15620-15705 peaking 15670, and a slightly weaker
one 15480-15530, fortunately barely missing Kuwait, the only decent signal in
the area, on 15540. However, this time I could not hear the +/- 15.6 kHz spur
carriers circa 15810 and 15840, altho splash outward from 15825 was reaching
that far. And still I don`t find spike fields to match on the high side which
if exactly mirroring would range 15945-16030 and 16120-16170. Of course, WWCR-1
really ought to be occupying no more than 15820-15830 max (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1510, Sept 7 at 0522 check, no het, so daytimer KCTE Independence MO
has quit broadcasting at night; someone else had sports talk amid CCI. Some 6.5
hours later, the wavering het on 1510.8 or so was back, affirming that KCTE is
still off-frequency, in the daytime at least (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

"Yankee Doodle Went to Sitka'...a line from a 1944 radio tribute to
WVCX Sitka [Alaska] and one of the two stations [the other was KODK
Kodiak] generally accepted as being the first Armed Forces Radio
stations going on the air in 1941.
The Radio Heritage Foundation now has over 30 features celebrating
early AFRS stations across Alaska, Asia and the Pacific including
KODK Kodiak 1941 [www.radioheritage.net/story65.asp] and a full
1941-1958 guide to the AFRS Alaska stations including all the
original known outlets [www.radioheritage.net/story63.asp].
Amongst the main features are AFRS Japan, AFRS China-Burma-India and
AFRS Jungle Network which detail many now long forgotten stations in
long forgotten theaters of war along with some rare images.
There are features on many individual stations such as WVUS New
Caledonia [from the famous Mosquito Network], WVUG Anchorage, KMTH
Midway, WXLG Kwajalein [a Pacific Ocean Network outlet], WXLI Guam,
WVTK Leyte, WXLE Eniwetok, and KTLG Sangley.
This month, Homer Willess, founder of WVUV American Samoa will be
making his first visit back to the islands since 1942, and his
inspiring story of island romance and radio can be enjoyed today at
www.radioheritage.com.
>From Alaska to Antarctica [WASA McMurdo] and all points of the
Pacific in between, AFRS radio has entertained servicemen and women
and local listeners for 70 years. We're delighted to record just a
little of the fascinating heritage of these stations and encourage
anyone with memories, photos or audio of AFRS stations to make
contact with us.
In the meantime, please let your friends, colleagues and family know
of the AFRS Armed Forces Memories features that can be enjoyed right
now at www.radioheritage.com.
