ROMANIA RRI Bukarest site Tiganesti outlets missed in B-08, i.e. Chinese,
Russian and German services totally yet.
Today Oct 30th noted the 2 x 300 kW Continental txs for the first time on
air. At 0700-0726 UT was German sce for the first time after 5 days silence
on shortwave, in analogue 7175 and 9690 with 44444 in Vienna [thanks item of
Paul Gager in A-DX ng].
'SNR Tiganesti E2' is the call sign of a DRM test transmission on 6115 kHz
which reported by Stephan Schaa in A-DX at 1316 UT.
see Tiganesti SW 2x300 kW and 21 antenna masts.

** ALASKA [and non]. Quite contrary to the day before, KNLS was inbooming on
6150, Oct 30 at 1254, wrapping up English hour with schedule, way atop the
Taiwan and mainland co-channel. But // 6915 KNLS was very poor. Hard to explain
the disparity of two frequencies less than 1 MHz apart from same site. Both are
100 kW at 270 degrees. How about next-door neighbor CKZU 6160; is it atop the
competition from VOA and the Chicom? No way! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** ALBANIA [and non]. More R. Tirana monitoring chex Oct 28-29: English at 2115
good on 7510, better than // 9345; unfortunately, V. of Korea is also on 9345,
nondirexional in Chinese and Korean, not to NAm, but still with enough signal
to QRM Tirana here, as the evening progressed; at 2258 the two making a fast
SAH of maybe 15 Hz during Albania`s national anthem, and at 2300 I could hear
the VOK IS. Tirana is back on 9345 for the next transmission to North America
from 0000; checked at 0040, the same SAH with VOK and Tirana // 6110 much
better but still with leftover DentroCuban jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Now we`re lucky to find a Firedrake frequency, one of which is
currently 9000, poor Oct 30 at 1318, presumably against the jumpy Sound of Hope
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [non]. CRI had an interesting interview with a British guy who has
walked the Great Wall, photographed it, and is pushing for preservation of the
parts that are crumbling, on 15230 via Sackville, Thu Oct 30 at 1335 and
exactly repeated one hour later. Both hours are at the same azimuth, too. This
would have been a good time to put the alternate English program on one of them
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. The DentroCuban Jamming Command has finally found 5745 (by
reading DXLD? Sorry about that; we just report the facts). Trouble is, they
were pulse-jamming WYFR in Spanish, Oct 30 at 0533 check! But at 1258, R. Mart?
5745 was being jammed much more heavily for the first time this season. Here is
how 5745 is divvied up by UStations: 05-10 WYFR, 11-14 Mart?, 20-21 WYFR, 22-04
WWRB but soon to be 23-05 altho I think 3270 has replaced some or all of that.
Version 1 of the B-08 FCC schedule dated 28 Oct at
http://www.fcc.gov/ib/sand/neg/hf_web/B08FCC01.TXT
still doesn`t show 3270!
Meanwhile, DCJC is still wasting its watts on 11845, not used by Mart? in
B-seasons, but with jamming still running at 1328 and 1426 Oct 30. At the
latter hour, RM with jamming could be heard on 11930 and 13820, jamming only on
15330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. VOG coming in very well, Oct 30 at 0519, lively wakeup program with
music and chatter, sing-alongs, on 7475 and slightly weaker // 7450, and also
// weaker 9420. Yet 7475 is 285 degrees and 7450 is 323 degrees which ought to
be better here, as is 9420 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. VOI, 9526, day 14, Oct 29 at 1337 check with another episode of
Let`s Speak Bahasa Indonesia, usual good signal. And day 15, Oct 30 at 1323
with Today`s Focus on an Indonesian presidential candidate --- no, not that
one; 1325 news headlines (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN [non]. Surprised to hear Asian language on 13680, Oct 30 at 1332, no
RHC. But a less than a minute later RHC blasted on, after either a transmission
breakdown or a very late start instead of 1300, totally obliterating the weaker
station, which per B-08 schedules in DXLD 8-115 is R. Farda via Wertachtal,
GERMANY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [and non]. You know winter is coming on when you can hear Japan on 49m
as early as 0622 UT = 1522 JST Oct 29. On 6055 I was getting a mix of Nikkei in
Japanese, and BBC Ascension in French to W Africa; Spain is finished at 0600
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. WYFR doesn`t give us much chance to hear V. of Mesopotamia,
via Moldova on 11530; in B-08 WYFR is at 0500-0745 and 1200-1345, and WYFR
Portuguese was way over VOM at 1329 Oct 30. So the convenient window for it is
1345-1400* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. At first UNIDENTIFIED: 11630, Oct 30 at 1428, Qur`an, strong but
fluttery signal, past 1430. 1428 Arabic announcement and back to another
muezzin; seems over another weak station on frequency; 1453 lively talk or
discussion; 1458 back to Qur`an past 1500, not // Saudi 15435. 1527 still going
with Qur`an and also past 1600 tho weakening. Only in Aoki A-08 do I find a
clue. R. Kuwait went on that frequency Oct 15, but at 1205-1500, 59 degrees.
Can anyone confirm this is Kuwait, or what? Not // 13620 at 1535 check. I
didn`t think Kuwait did a lot of Qur`aning, but this would be around sunset
there pre-Friday. The other station on 11630 may be VOR, Moscow at 12-15.
Tnx to quick monitoring by DXLD contributors, IDs were heard as Kuwait
at 1625 by Jari Savolainen, Finland, and at 1732 by Wolfgang B?schel
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. Surprised to hear RNW in English on 11520, Oct 30 at 1429
with ID and frequencies 11520, 12090, (5825?), 9345 and 15595, but with SAH and
co-channel from station in Spanish, no doubt WEWN, 155 degrees. 1430 RNW with
Earthbeat program. At 1501 recheck, WEWN Spanish was atop or alone.
It turns out that RN is now using Madagascar on 11520 but only during the 1400
UT hour, 250 kW at 50 degrees. Still not a good idea to `share` with a 500 kW
station on the other worldside even if running at semipower. Then at 1459 RN
Mad switches to 9345, which during the previous hour was via Tashkent (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. VOR, English to NAm, Oct 30 before 0530 coming in well on 9840,
which is Pet/Kam at 70 degrees, with Music and Musicians show about Emil Gilels
as scheduled UT Thu 0511-0600. Then at 0536 also found on // 7350 and new 7335
about the Chaikovsky Piano Competition with a performance that sounded more
like Prokofiev to me. 7335 was NOT in the original B-08 schedule as quoted in
DXLD 8-115, but rechecking http://www.ruvr.ru/main.php?lng=eng&w=129&p=
Oct 29, now it`s included, so here is the full list again.
North America
13735, 12040, 7250, 6240, 6100 0200-0300
13735, 12040, 7350, 6240, 6155, 6100 0300-0400
12030, 9855, 9840, 7350, 7335, 7150, 6240, 6155, 6135 0400-0500
12030, 9855, 9840, 7350, 7335, 7150, 6135 0500-0600
Compared to the first version, at 04-06 7335 is an addition, making 9
frequencies at 04-05, 7 at 05-06. 7335 is slightly stronger than 7350 and
obliterating CHU, just beeptraces deep below VOR, but whence? 7335 was
originally used by Vatican Radio itself at 0330-0620, while 7350 is VOR via
Vatican at 02-06. I would have first thought 7335 was a feed mixup, if it had
not belatedly been added to VOR`s own schedule, but also from Vatican now or
elsewhence? Anyhow, CHU better hurry up and move to 7850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SWEDEN. Previous item was WTFK? 9400! -- Now that R. Sweden has cancelled
morning English to NAm, I tried to pick up the 1430 broadcast which has two
transmitters at 70 and 100 degrees, but inaudible at 1432 Oct 27 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 9700 at 0524 Oct 30, thought it was an Arabic YL singer ululating
but looked up later it must be TRT in Turkish now scheduled 05-08 at 310
degrees from Emirler toward Europe and onward.
Since I often have to complain about inaccurate timesignals, I am pleased to
uncomplain about an accurate one: V. of Turkey, opening English at *1330 Oct 30
on 12035 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 17865, Oct 29 at 1344 heard B-B-C chimes, so quickly turned WWV
on another receiver to check accuracy of the timesignal --- but there was none;
1344:30 already opening Hausa service, 1345-1415 250 kW, 55 degrees via
Ascension. Yet, the BBCWS Burmese service opening at the same off-hour does
play a probably phony timesignal, as previously monitored; the latter is now
via Singapore on 7135, 9580 (despite R. Australia) and 11685. Now why would the
Burmese get a timesignal and not the Hausa? Cultural differences? Ex-colonial
perk?
5975 is a usable BBCWS frequency in English even tho it`s now from Thailand to
E Asia; I listened to the excellent and very depressing Wednesday documentary,
tho it was never identified by that name, about America`s Lost Veterans, all
the way thru at 1306-1320 Oct 29.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/documentaries/2008/09/081027_lostveterans_doc.shtml
5975 from Nakhon Sawon runs 12-14 UT at 45 degrees, 14-15 at 25 degrees, and
then 15-18 to S Asia at 290 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See
also JAPAN [and non]
** U S A. On 7530-SSB, Thu Oct 30 at 1306 I came upon a military net,
apparently Coast Guard. ID of NCS was hard to copy, especially since whenever
he transmitted there would be a big squeal, feedback that he himself could not
hear?? Yet he got ``loud and clear`` radio check signal reports! It was ``Camp
[something] Chesapeake`` altho at first I thought he saying ``Camp Fletcher
[something]``. Voice comms alternated with various digital sounds, including
what seemed like sped-up voice bursts. 1310 called Air Station Miami and
announced frequency as 7350; 1312 called Sceptor (?) Miami; 1314 called San
Juan, and announced frequency change, not called QSY, to 11436.0 ``for more
testing``.
So I switched too; 11436 was slightly better, 1316 again calling San Juan; 1320
called Air Stations Clearwater, Savannah and Charleston. 1323, calling Sceptor
(or is it Sector?) Key West, San Juan, St. Petersburg. All of these had much
weaker signals than Chesapeake, if heard at all. Searching over 17 kilomessages
in the UDXF yg produces zero useful hits on frequencies or names. Does anyone
have any info about this, or correxions? Googling ``Camp Chesapeake`` gets an
old YMCA nostalgia site, suspect unrelated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
