** AUSTRALIA. TP conditions were not so good Oct 1, but at 1219 check, all three VL8 stations were audible in //, 2485 best (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. On Oct 1 I was getting more on 60m from China, than from Indonesia. At 1226 on 4900 YL song in English, then to announcement in Chinese. Also signals on 4830, 5050 and strongest on 5030 but always with SAH and QRM from Malaysia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. Never a dull moment from the RHC transmitters. Oct 1 at 1255, 11705 which is supposed to be RNV relay, instead sounded like random tuning among various satellite downlinx, in English. Fragments heard included ``messing with divine justice``, bells, ``have to know the truth``, ``sun god in Egypt, Seth`` like Jesus. Finally at 1259 cut to a bit of Spanish, music, and off the air at 1300* sharp (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** FRANCE. On 15160, Oct 1 at 1316, novelty chanson in French, followed by announcement in Russian; 1327 hard rock in French, until abruptly off at 1330* without announcement. This is the RFI Russian service at 1300-1300, 55 degrees via Issoudun (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** RUSSIA. R. Rossii, Magadan, nice signal totally in the clear on 5940, Oct 1 at 1230 with pianist playing counterpoint, and // 5920 Pet/Kam which was colliding with WBOH producing a fast SAH. 1232 drums and synthesizer added, then off-key singer in English. 1233 Russian announcement and classic rock tune including lyrix: ``Time to get your boppin` shoes Before the Jukebox blows a fuse`` Refrain: ``Boppin` at the high school hop``. Sounded like Jerry Lee Lewis singing and pounding the keyboard, and Google immediately confirms that`s him, from ``High School Confidential`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. I had thought that Brother Scare via WWRB was on one transmitter, switching around 1300 UT from 3185 to 9385 --- but Oct 1 at 1216 I found two different B.S. programs running, and both frequencies on at once. Our cup overfloweth (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SPAIN. The show I have been hearing on REE in the 1300 UT hour Mon/Tue/Wed, replacing Clásicos Populares, ``is La Vuelta al Mundo en 80 Libros``, which is running during Sept and Oct, originally aired in the summer on Radio 3. That explains bits of Don Quijote, Animal Farm and Peter Pan (I guess, character Wendy) heard here and there, such as on 17595 Oct 1. Webpage all about it: http://www.rtve.es/radio/20080707/como-puedo-escuchar-descargar-vuelta-mundo-libros/112952.shtml (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 17565 with open carrier already at 1332 Oct 1. Greenville warming up for 1400-1415 broadcast in Spanish. Probably on briefly and then turned off until continuous warmup starting around 1345, the usual pattern (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [non]. AFN via Guam, 5765-USB, Oct 1 at 1237 with string of mini-features. This is a great service as no other station bothers to strip the commercials if any and aggregate them in a row, and at exactly the same times day after day. ``Loh-Down on Science`` was running, about a device mimicking mosquito bites for drawing blood; see http://lohdown.org as produced by KPCC. I have also run across this dropped into various public radio programs. At 1238:30, Pat Carrollton CBS feature ``Raising Our Kids`` and what to do if a head gets bumped. Then privacy-is-important-in-the-armed-forces, so don`t- eavesdrop-on-your-roommate PSA. 1241 ``Golf Minute`` which quickly lost my interest (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. The het against undermodulated CFRX 6070, Oct 1 at 1249 was around 6068-6069 and went off promptly at 1250:25*, probably Korea North (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ### ---[Start Commercial]--------------------- Order your WRTH 2008: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2008 ---[End Commercial]----------------------- ________________________________________ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
