** CHINA. A big buzz mixed with talk in Mandarin, on 11785, VOA scheduled, Jan 26 at 1456; not your usual type of jamming from China, but can hardly be coincidental (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GABON. Jan 26 at 1458 check, Afropop music distraxion was on 17660, and Africa N. Un was missing again from 17630. Suppose this means one transmitter at Moyabi is down or otherwise occupied (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. Another post-midnight check Jan 26 at 0625 did not find any signal on 9599.2 from XEYU, no longer 24 hours, or just not propagating some nights? Was audible around 1445, and also around 2100 when it again has a het from something on 9600.0. Presumed XEXQ is still running late, with classical music after 0630 Jan 26 on 6045. Has anyone heard this in Europe or Australia/NZ yet? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ROMANIA. RRI IS Jan 26 at 0629 on 7180, 0630 opening English. Poor signal but good modulation except mixed with roaring noise which in this case one must suspect is in its own transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SPAIN. REE, 9630, starting maritime show Españoles en la Mar, Fri Jan 26 at 2106; heard no mention of Santa Cruz de Tenerife; does it still originate at that studio? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. VOA, 15185, extremely strong in Hausa, Fri Jan 26 at 2058 talking about Singapore, Nigeria, Iraq to abrupt 2059* amid VOA theme music. Current VOA language sked shows this 2030-2100 M-F on 4940 9780 9815 11775 12080 15185. So 15185 must be Greenville, directly off the back here. However, HFCC B-06 does not list 15185 for this, but instead 9815 as Greenville. BTW, the 9, 11 and 12 MHz frequencies are also on the air Sat/Sun during this semihour in French but from different sites than weekdays. EiBi shows both 9815 and 15185 as Greenville for Hausa. Did not check 9815 for super-strength too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [non]. Jan 26 at 2100 I was on 11845, hearing Adventist World Radio ``Voice of Hope`` ID in English, then into hymn set to tune of Beethoven`s Ode to Joy, where Schiller`s should have been respected as the ultimate lyrix for that; then late at *2101 on came RCI with news in Quebecois, mixing, and a few seconds later, no more AWR. Checking EiBi, I see that AWR would have been Yoruba at 2030-2100 via South Africa to West Africa, running over (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. Explaining my hearing WWCR-4 on 5765 instead of 7465: ``01.22.2007. We are extending the use of 5765 until 1600 UT due to interference issues with 7465. This change will most likely remain in effect for the month of January. This is for transmitter #4 1400-1600 UT`` (WWCR transmitter schedule page via Glenn Hauser, DXLD) ** U S A. WYFR mixing product on 9750, 9680 over 9715, was not audible when checked about 24 hours later, Jan 26 at 0625 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WTJC, 9370, back on the air after missing several days, first noted Jan 26 at 0627 with piano music; VG signal and modulation; perhaps they were working on improving that. Now how about WBOH 5920v which has been off frequency and with spurs?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WBCQ, 18910-LSB, at 2055 Jan 26 with preacher, very little carrier and hard to copy without BFO; must be suppressed a lot more than 6 dB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss an email again!
