Well, I am going to have to miss this one unfortunately, Ive been staying up
too late, sleeping way too late into the day.. I'm going to bed here

Someone has to turn on WABV's RCA BTA1-M in the morning anyways

Russia, 5960, Radiostantsiya Tihkiy Okean, (PRES),0955-1000 Just noticed
Ron Howard's report of RTO changing to winter freq and thought I'd give it a
try.
Noted a male and female in Russian Language comments. This continues until
the hour. Signal was poor. (Chuck Bolland, October 29, 2007)
Russia, 6075, Radio Rossii, (pres)1005-1035 Another weak signal, heard a male
in Russian Language comments. Thought I could hear a female in there
too at times. At about 1026, music presented. At 1032, a male comments
with ID as "Radio Rossii...." Signal was threshold to poor during period.

I'm pleased to inform you that DXAsia, run by Alok das Gupta and Victor
Goonetilleke, is back in action after being forced to suspend activities for
most of this year for personal reasons. Updating of the schedules by country
has commenced for the B07 season, and will continue as quickly as possible
following monitoring checks.
Alok's son, who is a computer expert, is writing a program that will enable
Alok to update the site directly from a database, so in the future updating
will be quicker and easier. It's hoped to implement this arrangement early
in 2008.

** THAILAND [non non]. We had hoped the relay via USA would continue at least
at 0200-0330 on 5890 via Greenville, once Delano was deleted, but nothing heard
UT Oct 29, so apparently we may only hear Thailand direct via Udorn. On the
tentative schedule but as yet unconfirmed are attempts to broadcast to NAm from
there, even over the Arctic polar darkness to ENAm:
0030-0200 12095 ENAm
0200-0330 15275 WNAm
It may be a while before we can hear these at all in NAm, so can anyone
elsewhere confirm whether they are on the air? First semihour of each in
English, last hour in Thai. Let`s hope these have no problem keeping the audio
feed running, unlike the disastrous final broadcast via Delano (Glenn Hauser,

I am waiting for a reply to my e-mail sent to Allan Weiner this morning, but
it looks like the WCXH Test likely ran an hour late. It's always interesting
when technology and humanity go head to head. If the automation system at
WCXH did the time change as it normally would have instead of changing like
the idiots making the policy on time changes decided, then it would indeed
appear that technology got the better of us.
In any case, I've asked Allan to consider doing another test, hopefully on a
Saturday or Sunday morning. I'll provide more information as I received it.
My apologies to anyone who lost sleep over this . and that includes me too!

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** AFGHANISTAN [non]. R. Solh, 15265 via Rampisham UK, Oct 29 at 1346-1349
reconfirmed still with sticking music CD, as had been heard any day in A-07 on
17700, so this anomaly has survived the QSY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** ALBANIA [and non]. VOA threw a monkey wrench into the worx, moving Spanish
to 6110 for a sesquimonth, and thus drawing Cuban jamming, while R. Tirana
already planned to use 6110 to NAm starting in B-07. VOA is gone, but not the
jamming. The DentroCuban Jamming Command will eventually catch on, but it
usually takes a while. While on UT Oct 28 I could not hear Tirana at all, on
Oct 29 it was there at 0113 with nice Albanian music, the jamming not too
severe at the moment, // 7425. This is the Albanian transmission scheduled
0000-0130; however at 0130 check, when both signals had weakened a lot, they
kept going in Albanian instead of English, that being the day off for English,
but Albanian is still nominally ending at 0130.
The retimed morning broadcast at 1530 on new 13640 is now running Mon-Sat, so
not heard Sun Oct 28 but Mon Oct 29 at 1530 with transmission schedule, still
announcing old 13750 and 13720 frequencies and old times of 1300 and 2000
respectively; tho the correct new transmission schedule was already heard Oct
28 at 0330 on 6110, as I reported. Reception on 13640 was only poor, and at
first I thought it had unforeseen co-channel QRM, since I heard Chinese mixing,
but this turned out to be cross-modulation, receiver overload from the huge CRI
signal via Sackville on 13675. Attenuating got rid of it, and I hope when and
where Tirana has a somewhat stronger relative signal, this will not be a
problem. The new 9915 broadcast at 2100 was not heard Sunday either, but should
be on Mon-Sat (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ALGERIA [non]. Under PMS, 6090 Anguilla, Oct 29 at 0538, muezzin. This was
right on frequency so not Nigeria or something. Must be a new service --- yes,
Rampisham UK is now on 6090 at 0400-0600 due south. Must presume this is RTA
Algeria Qur`an service, which the Brits are happy to propagate, since the
casual listener will assume it`s axually direct from Algeria (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CROATIA [non]. Glas Hrvatske, ex-9925, confirmed back in 40m hamband on 7285
via Germany for B-07 to Americas (oops, Iceland!), 0137 Oct 29 three
transmitters from two sites synchronized OK, no echo noticeable (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. Another reactivated frequency for R. Mart? is 5745, heard Oct 29
at 1318 in Spanish // 7405, but no jamming yet on 5745, now scheduled
1100-1400. At 1506, big jamming still going on 11845, no longer occupied by
Mart?, but instead 15330 still in the clear, tho // 11930 and 13820 are jammed
as usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. R. Amanecer, presumed, 6025.1, Oct 29 at 0127 hymns with
piano accompaniment, perhaps from local studio or church, followed by Spanish
announcement. Bad splatter from CRI 6020 via Albania, much more of a problem
than adjacent DentroCuban jamming and Mart? on 6030. On the DX-398 tuning in
5-kHz steps with BFO on, it was easy to tell this one was off frequency, and
hence rule out a major broadcaster, except Sackville (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. R. Cairo, 7270, Oct 29 at 0136, and also when checked earlier in that
hour, just open carrier, or if there was modulation, it was too low to
register. Supposed to be in Spanish 0045-0200 until English starts (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ETHIOPIA [non]. Tensae now supposed to be on 11900 at 15-16, but Oct 29 at
1500 nothing audible, not even jamming. I miss the excitement of ex-15645
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE [non]. RFI can`t be bothered to put even a semihour in English on SW
to NAm, even tho they still produce English for Africa, but they still do
Spanish to NAm, noted Oct 29 at 0118, VG on 5995 with sports report including
what`s going on in LAm and France. This is 295 degrees from Guiana French, and
the eastern 3/4 of the USA, CIRAF zones 7 and 8 are part of the official target
area! Ditto for // 9800, unchecked. However, RFI has just abolished 2/3 of its
daytime Spanish semihours on 17630 via GUF, the ones at 1600 and 1800,
retaining only 2100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUIANA FRENCH. TDF DRM, 17870-17875-17880, has been missing for a couple of
weeks, and still missing Monday Oct 29 at 1402 check; fine with me, tho Libya
is gone from 17870 to 17725 for 14-16 English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** HUNGARY [and non]. R. Budapest, 5980 in Hungarian to NAm, Oct 29 at 0117 was
atop co-channel in Arabic, which must be Morocco, missing from HFCC and perhaps
assumed not to exist. This was also a problem last winter, but thankfully, it
matters little now as Budapest has abolished English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. V. of Mesopotamia, via Moldova, now scheduled on 11530 all
the way from 0500 to 1500, but as usually happens, blocked by inconsiderate US
station much of the time. Oct 29 at 1330 WYFR in Portuguese atop; at 1407
recheck, VOM in the clear, poor with flutter.
WYFR now scheduled on 11530, 05-08 & 12-14. At least WEWN does not come on
11530 until 1500. So that leaves 08-12 & 14-15 clear for VOM (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SLOVAKIA. RSI, still on 7230 to NAm for English at 0100, despite this being
in an exclusive hamband in Region 2; Oct 29 at 0110 in mailbag replying to Ted
Schuerzinger in NY, but not at all sure how to pronounce his name; must not
know much German there in Bratislava. OTOH, the presenters seemed not to be
Slovax (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. REE`s website is not exactly user-friendly, mixed in with RTVE, but I
finally found they have put up a handy new program schedule grid dated Oct 29,
but beware: not specified but must be in local time since I heard La Hora de
Asia Sun at 1405 UT, not 1505 as on the sked! And co-official languages are in
the 1330 UT semihour now, not 1430.
http://www.rtve.es/archivos/70-6806-FICHERO/ParrillaReeInvierno2007.pdf
I was looking for La Ba?era de Ulises, the Mediterranean-music show from Radio
3, but it`s no longer on the REE schedule, and if you go to Radio 3, you are
redirected to REE for it! However, it is still on the R3 schedule Sat at 14
local, which from now on should be 13 UT, perhaps the only way to hear it, as
an audio archive, also hard to locate, only linx to a couple of months of shows
from (last?) Nov & Dec.
A new show on the REE schedule may be its replacement, ``La Costa de las
Tormentas``, Thu 06, Sat 09, Mon 01, for 50 minutes within these hours. Could
not find anything about this show, even whether it`s musical or not, but need
to check it out. Thu at 05 UT was a previous time for LBdU on REE.
Amigos de la Onda Corta has also changed scheduling, probably 5 minutes later
than: Fri 0730, Sat 1100, Sun 0400, Mon 0330, apparently no longer Sun at 0105.
The grid says nothing about frequencies, so you have to look elsewhere for
those (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. If Miraya FM, 9825 via ? stays at 13-16 UT instead of 15-18,
they now confront VOA Tinang at 14-15, which is what I heard here signing off
at 1500 Oct 29. There was a slight SAH and very weak signal there afterwards
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 15450 was doing fine most days in Oct from VOT, English at
1230-1325, but they go and change it for B-07, now 1330-1425 on 12035 and
11735, same as B-06. And also same as B-06, on first check Oct 29 at 1407 in
Turkish music, 11735 tho poor with flutter, was much better than barely audible
12035. This is anomalous, since 12035 is aimed at WEu and NAm, and 11735 is
aimed eastward. Unless the antennas are messed up, as we frequently suspected,
apparently long-path is working better than short-path (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN. ``Laudetur Jesus Christus`` heard on 5965 as soon as I tuned in,
Oct 29 at 0540, and into French, a fast SAH mixing with REE Costa Rica, which
is scheduled 0400-0800. 5965 is new for Vatican, and they are making extensive
use of it, damn the QRM. Perhaps they think they have inherited rights to it
from Rai. Vatican on 5965 now 0400-0805, 0900-1015, 1100-1215 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. RNV CI via Cuba, reconfirmed still on 11680 at 1505 Oct 29.
Not like they observe any HFCC seasonal change dates (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6020, R. Australia now has more QRM, after Vatican via
Philippines closes at 1315; Oct 29 at 1319 mixing with a big buzz, like one of
those defective Russian or North Korean transmitters; but I see nothing listed
to account for it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Well folks, it looks like the gremlins did indeed get us on the WCXH test.
The good news, however, is that Allan is more than willing to redo the test.
Here's what he said:
"Jim:
I cannot believe I screwed up ! I am so sorry.
I was sure it said 5:am, I must have mis-read it.
Things have been so hectic here. I feel awful about this.
Of course, whenever you'd like to re-do it, I'll be more than
happy to do it. Just let me know.
PLEASE accept my humblest apologies to you and all who
participated.
Allan"
At the suggestion of one listener, I intend to ask Allan for a Friday or
Saturday morning instead of Monday. I'm open for suggestions - just make
sure we don't conflict with holidays and we have enough time to announce the
new date and time.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.

I would suggest/reccomend a Friday night into Saturday morning. There are
those of us who go to church or use Sunday for relaxing cleaning up the
house, I think a Friday/into Saturday test would be much better
How about Friday the 14th going into Saturday the 15th of December?

Jim,
Great news! I'll have another shot at this. I was quite disappointed.
My suggestion is whatever morning is picked, lets not have in this
next weekend, because of the "Real" change in time.
Thanks so much. Hopefully the conditions will be even better the nxt
time around.
73,
Patrick

Furthermore, WEWN never actually used 5010. Don`t believe everything you read,
even if it comes from the station itself! 73, Glenn Hauser

** ALBANIA. R. Tirana`s new 9915 at 2100-2130 in English to NAm was barely
audible here during first broadcast Oct 29; both on portable at a store parking
lot at 2108, and on the home rig at 2126, when the signal barely surpassed the
local S9+15 noise level, unlike several other Europeans on 31m which overrode
it. The good news is that there was no interference at all on 9515, nor on
adjacent or even second-adjacent channels, so with a bit better propagation,
and as usual a location a bit further east, it should be usable (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 9625 heard IDing as ``CBC North, Radio One``, Oct 29 at 2136 in the
half-hour Northern news and feature show, which seemed to be mostly in English;
report about how removing children from parents` custody is handled; weather
conditions. Usual muffled undermodulation and frequency a tad on the low side,
as the sub-harmonic catchers have noted. Should shift to 2230 M-F from next
week (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Confirmed back on UT-5 a week ahead of the yanqui imperialistas, as
just when I tuned across 11800, Oct 29 at 2134, RHC was giving timecheck for
4:34, hora normal de Cuba, = 2134 TU (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Another filthy transmitter here relaying China, on 13650, Oct 29 at
2259, open carrier with crackling noise also audible out to plus/minus 15 kHz,
13635-13665. 2300 promptly into IS, ID in Chinese, and opening in Portuguese as
R. Internacional da China, with distorted modulation. This is 250 kW at 135
degrees from one of the Habana sites (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. Trying to confirm R. Cairo is on 9465 in B07 for English to NAm at
2300-2430: Oct 29 at 2302, very undermodulated woman talking, interrupted every
so often by a blast of disco music. Listening intently, I finally decided an
occasional word was understandable as English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** GREECE. Macedonian Station on 7450 with Greek music, Oct 29 at 2211, fair
signal and much better than V. of Greece on 7475. Both are transmitted from
Avlis, but 7450 is at 323 degrees toward us while 7475 is really at 285 degrees
toward Latin America. At 2220, however, noticed that 7450 had a het on the low
side, becoming annoying, maybe from a utility as no other broadcasters are
known on 7450 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PORTUGAL. RDPI, 11620, VG signal but distorted in silly bolagame coverage,
Monday Oct 29 at 2133. Contrary to the tentative B-07 schedule in DXLD 7-125,
apparently 11620 is instead of 15540 to NAm at 19-24, more or less (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. VOA`s music hour at 2100 via Greenville is back on 15580 for
B-season, as Monday Oct 29 at 2148 caught last fifth of American Gold with Doug
Levine, playing Li`l Stevie Wonder`s first hit, ``Fingertips Part Two``, then
Ruby & the Romantix --- theme seemed to be first or only hits.
Schedule for this hour is:
Mon American Gold
Tue Roots and Branches
Wed Classic Rock
Thu Top 20 Countdown
Fri Hip Hop Connection 1
Sat Hip Hop Connection 2
Sat Fusion
Earlier and at all other times except this single hour, 15580 is via overseas
sites, but at 21-22 it`s 250 kW from Greenville aimed 94 degrees, which means
it also puts a huge signal, at least S9 +25, into CNAm, the opposite direxion.
(Don`t tell Smith or Mundt!)
Even so, there was slight interference from KTBN on 15590, whose dirty
transmitter and big signal of its own is always accompanied by a distinctive
buzz out to at least plus/minus 10 (not heard on other strong signals), plus
splatter out to 15570-15620 or so. I could actually hear KTBN splatter below
VOA 15580; only the big signal from VOA saved it, most of the time. The 15580
carrier stayed on until 2205:30* so no hurry to get that transmitter to some
other frequency.
Another Greenville transmission to Africa, which should also serve NAm well, is
at 1800-2000 on 11975.
The interim hour 2000-2100 on 11975 changes to S?o Tom?. Unfortunately this is
the hour carrying African Beat on weekdays, two different editions of Music
Time in Africa on weekends. Other SW frequencies at 20-21 are 4930 4940 6080
13710=Botswana with 4940 stopping at 2030 on weekdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Cut numbers, spy groups of 5, Oct 29 at 2226 on 7481 CW. Altho
the carrier was clearly cutting on and off, when on it was transmitting a tone
as well. Probably Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
