United States, 6100, WHRI, 0827-1005 At 0827 tuned to 6100 KHz for a check
to see if WHRI was up yet, but all I heard was the jammer noted yestereday
on
this freq. It's probably too early for WHRI anyway. I noticed that the
jammer
here sounds exactly like the one I am hearing on 6030 over Radio Marti this
morning.
At 0907, still no sign of WHRI on 6100 KHz, just the jammer. Yesterday WHRI
had already switch on by this time of the morning. Maybe they are giving up
on this freq?
Only time will tell?.
So nothing by 1000 UTC. WHRI is usually on the air by now. I suppose they
gave
up at Cypress Creek, I scanned the band (5880 KHz to 6200 KHz) looking for
steady Spanish music with a strong signal, and didn't hear anything with
those characteristics.
Not much of a backbone. I thought we might have a good contest here?
Maybe the jammer is actually covering WHRI? Yesterday that wasn't the
case. I could
hear WHRI better than the jammer, so I am thinking WHRI isn't on the air
today.

** AUSTRIA [non]. Checking out report that English was missing from ?1, June 11
at 1515 there it was starting after German via Sackville on 13775, as
scheduled, which is unnecessarily complex, but per EiBI:
1505 1520 Mo AUT Radio Austria Int. E WNA 13775/CAN
1505 1530 SaSu AUT Radio Austria Int. E WNA 13775/CAN
1515 1530 Tu-Fr AUT Radio Austria Int. E WNA 13775/CAN
1535 1600 SaSu AUT Radio Austria Int. E WNA 13775/CAN
1545 1600 Mo-Fr AUT Radio Austria Int. E WNA 13775/CAN
Note: you might think that what happens in the second half hour mirrors what
happens in the first half hour, and you would be wrong. The rest of each full
hour is occupied by German (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Must be solsticial conditions despite pitiful solar flux that account
for Firedrake on 17 MHz at 13 UT. Specifically, 17565 at 1308, also audible on
17705, but not on the latter at 1338 recheck. 17565, presumably against V. of
Tibet, was stronger than Spain shortpath on 17595 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC Spanish on 11680 June 12 at 1426 producing SAH with another
station in music, but RHC cut off after a few seconds. Not scheduled on 11680
at this hour, but messing around again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [and non]. NHK World Network, Radio Japan, as the ID goes, 11705 via
Canada, June 12 at 1426 accompanied by pre-echo direct from Yamata, much weaker
but certainly audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 11735.1, June 12 at 1427 in Korean with low het, VOK
versus? Per online skeds it`s either R. Liberty Biblis, Germany in Russian, or
Brasil. RNA 11780 was in well, so likely R. Nova Vis?o if on (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. XEQM, 6104.9, June 12: at first check 1308 just a mess on frequency
and did not hear a het of 200-400 Hz as required by previous reports of
M?rida`s varied frequency; 1335 Firedrake was audible. That was gone by 1350,
just a very weak signal from presumed XEQM. This was probably even closer to
6105.0 but not quite. Talk intonation seemed to be Spanish but could not
recognize any words to be sure. 1352, a bit of ``When You Wish Upon A Star``
music underneath; 1354 just music with a beat; 1400 produced announcement,
probably ID, again seemed Spanish but not positive, just too poor. Signal still
in at 1421, momentarily QRMed by ``running water`` ute; and still at 1433.
Those a little closer to Yucat?n and/or with a bit better gain, S/N ratio
should get this OK even in the daytime. Juli?n Santiago phoned the station and
found out they have been back on the air, with lapses, for two months, the old
250 watt transmitter. They want to get a new
transmitter and run 24 hours, half of that in Maya language, which is already
running on XEMQ 810, but there are other stations in their group, and it`s not
clear which one they are relaying now when in Spanish, and whether they are
putting Maya on SW yet. I want to know exactly what ID is to be heard on 6105v
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. BSKSA, 15170, very weak June 12 at 0530 with Qur`an, but could
not hear any buzzing which used to be all one could hear. Apparently buzz has
been fixed, tnx to complaint by Mike Barraclough via HFCC, which got a reply
June 9 from BSKSA that they had worked on it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. Surprised to hear Arabic on 17690, at quick check 1831 UT Wednesday
June 11. A new clandestine service, and/or was it really WHRA as scheduled? No
and Yes: WHR ID in English at 1859. Looked up later on the WHR online skeds, we
see this:
1830 - 1835 2:30 PM - 2:35 PM Mo,Tu,We,Th,Fr Bible Pathway Rich Hash 17.690 Mhz
1835 - 1840 2:35 PM - 2:40 PM Mo,Tu,We,Th,Fr Nice Jewish Boy Jonathan Cahn
17.690 Mhz
One of the very annoying things about WHR schedules is that they do not
explicitly state language of each listing, often given in English when they are
not really in English! Website for show per linx page is
http://www.biblepathway.org/
And at first glance, they are in English, nothing about Arabic, but if you look
at the Daily Devotional linx, we do find Arabic
http://www.biblepathway.org/Arabic/TodaysDevotional.html
and several other languages, which I suppose could appear on WHRA at this time:
English, French, German, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Norwegian, Russian,
Spanish, Swedish?
Maybe not all of them. This page:
http://www.biblepathway.org/English/Ministry-Radio.html
gives SW schedule times on WRMI, KWHR, WHRI and WHRA, including these two
designated Arabic:
WHRA Angel 5 Middle East, North Africa (Arabic) 1:30PM Mon-Fri ET 1830 Mon-Fri
UTC 15.670 Mhz Jerusalem: 9:30PM
WHRA Angel 5 Middle East, North Africa (Arabic) 2:30PM Tue-Fri ET 1930 Tue-Fri
UTC 11.785 Mhz Jerusalem: 10:30PM
Trouble is, ET/UT conversions are obviously for ST, not DST, so is the 1830 UT
broadcast I heard now the one called ``1930``? WHRA sked currently shows both
1830 and 1930 as well as 1705. Wrong frequencies, too. BP sked is far out of
date, still showing Venezuela on an even timezone! And why of all
Arabic-speaking cities, do they pick out Jerusalem? And why don`t they call it
Al-Quds? And why in this case, do they have a 3-hour summer-time difference
between UT and Israel even tho ET/UT are 5 hours apart instead of 4? God
apparently has not granted them the power to figure out timezones correctly.
At the bottom of the page B.P. admits it is trying to save ``country after
country`` from being ``taken over by Islam``. Bible, Kor`an, Torah/Talmud ---
they`re all Abrahamic monotheists, well, with subdivisions in the case of the
Christians (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WBCQ absent from 9330 Brother Scare service, checked June 12 at 1431
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. No trace of Cuban music on 6100 when checked June 12 at 1308,
just a fair signal in Russian talking about China, presumably CRI, which
however per Aoki and Eibi is supposed to be in Mongolian during this hour, in
Russian until 1300. (R. Rossii in Tannu Tuva is also listed on 6100, but I
can`t believe it was that.). However, at 1432 I found another frequency for the
unannounced Cuban music tests: 7365! With no jamming audible. 1459 to WHRI
standard ID, asking for reports, no mention of ``next broadcast`` frequency and
off. Did not have time to search for the next frequency, if any. 7365 is a neat
choice, already used by R. Mart? at other hours, besides WHRI too. This was not
// Mart? 13820. BTW, WHRI was missing from 11785 this morning, perhaps same
transmitter currently on 7365 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
