** BIAFRA [non]. V. of Biafra International, weekly clandestine show via WHRI,
Fridays 20-21, still on 17650 when checked June 27 at 2053 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake, barely audible on 17550, July 1 at 1412, presumably
against V. of Tibet, whose frequency jumps around this area. Somewhat better
Firedrake on 12260 at 1416, against Sound of Hope. I don`t bother to relog all
the usual Firedraxe against RFA, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
See also CUBA
** CUBA. Surprised to find CRI English relay on 13760 instead of 13740, July 1
at 1414 check and still at 1542. So it applies to both hours, 1400 and 1500.
Nothing on 13740. 13760 had been in use for RHC itself until 1500. Usual poor
modulation and much weaker than RHC on 13680. So is this a second-semester
permanent change from 13740 to 13760 for CRI, or a mistake, or a temporary
substitute with one transmitter down, or what? Time may tell (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. VOI, 9526, June 27 at 1249 with Indonesian music, no het or tone
today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. FMDX: can`t get a decent signal from XEQM 6105v, so I`ll just pick
up their FM station! Axually, as always with Sporadic E, one is at the mercy of
when openings occur, all or nothing even tho analog.
June 29 at 1640 UT, the MUF was at least channel 5 TV, so I broke out the
DX-398 portable, and started checking FM. It helps to be able to manipulate the
whip rapidly to avoid all the local QRM. Altho we have some Spanish around
here, such as KAMG-LP 92.1 Enid, that language really stands out on other
frequencies when bandscanning.
Soon found some on 89.3 at 1644 UT, ID as Radio Energ?a, Mexican PSA, 1646 live
DJ with timecheck, ad for Club de Golf de Yucat?n. 1652 phone in sportstalk
about soccer and an upcoming game somewhere in Europe. Got back to 89.3
slightly after 1700 so missed ID if any at hourtop, still phoner sportstalk,
gone by 1703 and I quit at 1708. This is doubtless XHMIA licensed to Kanasin
--- why necessary to rimshot? Near M?rida. Cant? linx to website
http://www.radio893.fm/ which shows this is axually called Ultra 89.3, but also
with radio energia slogan.
95.3, at 1654 UT June 29, Spanish DJ mentioning Candela in passing, and ``la
mera mera Candela 95.3``; gone at 1658, 1701 in and out weakly in talk. So this
is XHMH M?rida, which gets relayed on 6105v.
Checked all the other listed M?rida frequencies but above MUF and/or blocked by
adjacent/co-channel QRM. One more made it, tho:
92.9, 1656 UT June 29 slogan ``la pirinola [? Not sure of spelling, a name?]
gira la radio``. 1658 news headlines about T?bet, sports, outroed as announced
by Jes?s Alejandro Torres, for Sistema Nacional de Noticiarios, Grupo IMER, ID
but with fades so missing some words:
``XH-Yuc, FM, 92.9, transmite desde . . . Calle 90 . . . con 100 mil watts. .
.``. XHYUC is also in M?rida, one of the local public radio outlets, website
http://www.yucatanfm.imer.com.mx/ I would like to have heard XERUY on 103.9
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. RTI still going via WYFR, UT July 1 at 0200 on 9680, better
here than 5950, despite announced plan to drop English to NAm as of July 1.
Maybe this will be gone UT July 2. I listened to the last dekaminute until 0300
in case they said anything, but no, and ran usual closing announcement with
full English schedule ``every day`` as if nothing were wrong; while 9680 went
into WYFR Spanish at 0300, 5950 restarted the RTI English broadcast, now with
better signal. RTI`s German and French language web pages say those relays via
WYFR are terminated, but nothing about the same on the English pages (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WBCQ, 15420-CUSB, good signal at peaks, but with deep fades, due to
huge sporadic E opening over eastern US, (and trans-Atlantic), June 27 at 2059
with NM preacher; 2101:45 voice-over quick WBCQ ID, but then NM stops, and WBCQ
plays standard sign-off announcement which never mentions any frequencies or
times; and off. Meanwhile, I compared frequency WWV 10000 using DX-398 40-Hz
click-counting, as corrected, and decided WBCQ was around 15419.95; definitely
on the low side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11710.5, approximately, weak het to V. of Korea in French on
11710.0, July 1 at 1418. 11710v brings to mind Argentina, but should not be on
this frequency at this hour. Aoki shows RAE weekday Spanish on 11710 until
1400; EiBi until 1300. SAm propagation was OK, with RNA Brazil 11780 in well.
Or could be a spur from something else on 25m, even another VOK transmitter
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Radio Maria World Family decided to start a QSL service, as a friendly
attention towards radio enthusiasts. So, after talks with Radio Maria WF
President, Emanuele Ferrario, and Radio Maria WF Network Director, Claudio
Re, I begun to confirm reports as QSL manager. It is a volunteer amateur
service. So far we have QSL letter for Radio Maria Nederland 675 kHz and
Radio Maria station in Andrate, Italy, on 26000 kHz AM and 26010 kHz DRM.
Mail address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you prefere a paper confirmation, you can write to my address: Giampiero
Bernardini - via Tertulliano 35 - 20137 Milano - Italy. If possible, please,
add stamps, IRC, 1 dollar etc. just to help me in answering.
We'll appreciate audio clips. We are interested in knowing how you receive
Radio Maria. About DRM broadcasting we'll appreciate information about audio
quality, a copy of Dream software log and images of Dream software at work.
Ciao
