** BURKINA FASO. RTB, 5030, French talk at 0637 Nov 17, overriding Defunct Gene Scott, TIRWR, Costa Rica. Amazingly, the two were only about 6 Hz from each other, indicating remarkable frequency control on the part of both of them, or equally remarkable coincidence (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. The DentroCuban Jamming Command`s spurs have not been eliminated. I was again hearing clix, spurious from 15330, on 15380, Nov 17 at 1440, but not at any of the other multiples of 50 kHz from 15330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GABON. ANO, 19160, big buzz and a little modulation, Nov 17 at 1448. I`m just pleased with evidence that 19+ MHz is still propagating so reliably over such a distance. Wish some more Africans would beef up their harmonics, preferably with good modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** LIBYA [non]. V. of Africa, from the Great Jam., 17725 via France, Nov 17 at 1449 with same commentary I heard the other day in English, but now have caught its title at opening, ``FIFA --- Modify or Cancel It``. Again, very little hum and easily listenable, if one cared to (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. I avoid WINB since I know there`s nothing but gospel huxters on there, but nevertheless as I was tuning across 13570 Nov 17 at 1430 I heard an ID for Family Radio, and then the familiar drone of Harold Camping, who went on to tell a story about giving Bibles to those who dwell on garbage dumps in the Philippines (There are probably better ways to help them than to encourage them to be content with the lot God has given them.) And it was parallel to WYFR itself on 13695, except 13570 was running 17 seconds ahead of 13695 --- so hear Harold first on WINB! And would you believe that WINB`s home page shows Our Program Schedule by Time Frequency Schedule (EDT) 0600 - 0800 9625 kHz 0800 - 1900 13570 kHz 1900 - 2400 9625 kHz First of all, EDT is not in effect anywhere now, so are we supposed to add 4 or 5 hours to this to get correct UT in November? 9625?!?! Fortunately, CBC NQ does not really have another competitor for this frequency, as WINB is axually on *9265*, as far OOB as that may be. Such a gross error despite the fact that DXer Hans Johnson of JihadDX is (was?) also their frequency manager and program time broker. The program schedule below is effective Oct. 8, 2006, and by golly it does show WINB carrying Family Radio at certain hours. (Are a dozen SW transmitters in Okeechobee, FM translators all over the US, plus numerous and increasing foreign relays not enough?) The schedule shows, 7 days a week, in EDT, whatever that means now, and UT, unshifted? --- 07:00A / Sun-1100...Family Radio - Spanish 08:00A / Sun-1200...Family Radio - English 09:00A / Sun-1300...Family Radio - English 07:00P / Sun-2300...Family Radio - Spanish 08:00P / Mon-0000...Family Radio - English Each of these is an hour long, except on Sundays the next show is at 1415, but I seriously doubt FR really runs an extra 15 minutes then. Since I heard FR at 1430+, the above UT have presumably shifted one hour later, i.e. 12-15 and 00-02 UT. According to FCC B-06, the switch times between 9265 and 13570 are 1300 and 2300, so 9265 would be carrying FR at 12-13 and 00-02, 13570 at 13-15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 15390, big open carrier at 1440 Nov 17, 1445 tone test, 1447 off. I suspect this is Greenville in preparation for the 1730 broadcast in Creole (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sponsored Link Compare mortgage rates for today.
