** ECUADOR [and non]. Following up my last report about HCJB 11625 at 0030: in
the HCJB B-08 schedule via Alokesh Gupta we see that 11625 is not the
bidirexional antenna, now dismantled? Just at 150 degrees, aimed away from us
but plenty strong here. Target area is officially nothing but South America;
9745 still exists at 324 degrees, not just to Mexico, but to all of Caribbean,
Central and North America except for Canada east of Manitoba. It succeeds 11625
at 0200-0500. So on UT Nov 3 I decided to check 9745 at 0359 to find out
whether the timecheck was still a semihour and a several MHz off. But 9745 was
dominated from 0357 tune-in by Channel Africa IS, and opening in French. I was
beginning to wonder if HCJB was there at all until I made out its timesignal
under RSA. The two were making a SAH of about 4 Hz. HCJB used to be gangbusters
into OK on this frequency. By 0450 it had regained dominance (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. Yet another day, RNZI is on 17675 AM, at 2224 UT Sunday check
Nov 2, rather than scheduled 11725. Maybe the schedule at
http://www.rnzi.com/pages/listen.php simply has an error in it showing 11725
instead of 17675 and DRM on 15720. At 2245 recheck they had swapped, DRM on
17670-17675-17680 and AM on 15720. I asked Adrian Sainsbury about it and he
says the schedule was wrong, that RNZI is really on 17675 AM at 2051-2235, not
supposed to be 11725, and he corrected it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. If you want to hear VOR`s first hour in English to NAm,
now from 0200 UT, reception is crummy. Checking the 5 frequencies listed at
0210 Nov 3: traces of signal on 7250, 6240, even less on 12040 and 13735, and
zero signal on 6100. The latter was the one which was just running tones as the
B-08 season began. Has it been totally dropped now? I have a feeling it is
being held open for a revival of Radio Republica which until the end of A08 was
using it at 0200-0400. 6155 via Germany was inbooming, but in Russian, as
English does not start until 0300. Ditto Vatican on 7350, on but not yet in
English. It turns out that 7335, formerly occupied by Vatican for its own
broadcasts to elsewhere, has been ceded to VOR via Guiana French to USA at
0200-0600. Too bad for CHU, not even beeps audible at 0350 check Nov 3 whilst
VOR was still in Russian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. It`s now clear that WRNO is running 7505 24 hours a day, even tho
authorized at maximum from 23 to 16 UT. Continuing my log starting after 2300
Nov 1: still running Nov 2 past 1900 playing Battle Hymn of the Republic. And
still going past 2000, and 2115 and 2200 in hourly chex. If this is not merely
`burning in` the new transmitter as a test, it will override R. Tirana English
on 7510 Mon-Sat at 2100-2130, which depended on WRNO honoring its registered
schedule, not coming on before 2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Re the new show on the WBCQ 9330 sked, daily 0400-0600, The ``Roger
Fredenburg Show``, Googling that got exactly two hits, one to my previous
report, and the other to a testimonial at the healthyheartsclub mentioning
hearing about a a heart and body extract to treat fybermyalgia on the
Fredenburg show a year ago. However, if you spell his name right, Fredinburg,
you get a hefty 192 hits starting with http://www.regularguy.com/ He also has a
message board with anti-Obama stuff and Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Looks
like we have another winner in the ``free speech`` category. Could not hear it
around 0455 UT Nov 3; is it really on and not propagating? (Glenn Hauser, OK,

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
** ALASKA. KNLS, 6150, weak but clear at 1436 Nov 3 during final English hour
of the day, devotional message and quickly back to music at 1437, the station
for limited-attention-spans; some adjacent QRM from 6145 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 5995 with roughly equal collision between YFR Open
Forum via Petropavlovsk Kamchatskiy, and Radio Australia, both in English at
1439 Nov 3, making both of them useless (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRIA. 17610, AWR ID in English at 1430 Nov 3, introducing service in
Afar, and I do believe it was, as I could not understand a word of it from afar
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. RNA, 11780, Nov 3 at 0714 with Brazilian songs, S9+22, plus weaker
but plenty strong distorted matching spurs centered at 11721.5 and 11838.5.
Don`t recall any such spurs reported before from this Bras?lia transmitter;
plus and minus 58.5 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 7525, Nov 3 at 1441, co-channel between two or three
Chinese speaking stations, i.e. VOA Mandarin, 30 degrees from Thailand, and
Chicom jamming.
9000 still with Firedrake, Nov 3 at 1443 check, as Sound of Hope seems to have
settled there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC SNAFU report for Nov 3: Tuned in 13760 at 1504 to find Despertar
con Cuba announcers talking, so probably once again started replaying the 1100
UT show. Quickly checked all the other morning frequencies, and none of them
were on: 11760, 12000, 13680, 15120, 15360, 15370, and finally at 1509, 13760
cut off the air. I suspect the replay is intended for internal listening only
at the station during their mid-day break, but gets put on the air when
engineers at the site are asleep at the switch (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CZECHIA [non]. R. Prague, via WRN, via CBC Overnight, via CBC Radio 1, via
CBN via CKZN St. John`s, 6160, Monday Nov 3 at 0720 with ID, music, fair over
QRM. Must be this, but does not match CBC Radio Overnight schedule at
http://www.cbc.ca/overnight/schedule.html which shows R. Prague on weekdays
appears as the second of four stations after 5:05 am local time, but 0720 UT
would be 3:20 am AST, half an hour later in Nfld, but CBC programming is
simultaneous in Nfld; just the clox are wrong. Is this sked now outdated? Of
course, the 1:05 am local start means CKZU Vancouver is not into Overnight
until 0905 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ECUADOR. Checking La Voz de los Andes, HCJB to see if their timechex are
wrong in the morning too, Nov 3 at 1359:30 on 11960 ? correct for 9 am = 14 TU,
but still announcing long-defunct 21455 frequency between 11690 and 11960, so
have entered yet another month perpetuating that error (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. VOI still on 9526 for day 18, Nov 3, quick check at 1318 in
English with good but hummy signal; in Malay after 1400 had a lite het from
something on 9525 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. R. Kuwait, 11630 with bits of Qur`an interrupted by Arabic talk
rather than singing, good signal but fluttery, 1446 Nov 3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. OK`s newest AM radio station is on the air: 1120. This is the
original KEOR 1110 in Atoka, SE Oklahoma, which was hijacked to Catoosa, Tulsa
market, and frequency shifted in order to squeeze yet another AM station into
The Metroplex, TX.
Heard Nov 3 from 1727 UT playing nothing but oldies cuts, segu?s, pauses
ranging from 5 to 30 seconds, never any announcements, not even a legal ID at
hourtop 1800, as I monitored until 1815. Why is it that new stations testing on
the air think they can get away without legal IDs? Not off to a good start, but
this is obviously what I am hearing, and DF fits.
Fair signal in Enid, some 200 km away, but splash at times from closer
KLEY-1130 KS. Songs included Carrie Anne, I Get Around, Travelin` Man,
Mother-in-Law, Surf City, World Without Love. Still going at 1935 recheck.
Per FCC listing, call is still KEOR, which should work for Tulsa too, as in
eastern Oklahoma radio; 2.0 kW daytime, two-tower direxional; facility ID
number 3651 to read all about it:
http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/amq?list=0&facid=3651
Which was extremely slow-loading, took some 5 minutes; is everybody looking it
up already?
Pattern is more or less cardioid, major lobe at 185-190 degrees toward western
Tulsa, minor lobe in opposite direxion, and null at 50 degrees toward KMOX
(which has a poor groundwave signal across the Oxarx), and one to match at 325
degrees ? would that be toward Portland or nothing in particular? SR/SS table
for the coordinates shows 1300 and 2315 UT in November.
{BTW, the frequency is very slightly off, as a different BFO pitch could be
heard on 1120 compared to stepping to 1130, 1140, 1150 and 1170 stations on the
DX-398.}
Radio-locator.com shows site is on North Peoria Avenue near 106 East Street
North, which would be Tulsa terminology; can`t see a tower on the street view.
Tho COL is Catoosa, still gives address as a PO Box in Atoka! Tiger map via FCC
shows location is actually next to Sperry, N of Tulsa, not Catoosa, which is NE
of Tulsa. Address on record with FCC is yet another, 3633 FM 437, Rogers TX
76569 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. My local KGWA 960 is still putting out spurs, not only on 950 and
970, but around 920 on the 10-kHz-step caradio, Nov 3 at 1732. Probably puts
another one around 1000, obscured by KTOK OKC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. RRI, 11940 puts a hefty signal into NAm mornings, probably the best
on the 25 mb direct from Europe. In Romanian, Nov 3 at 1332 VG with long list
of world cities, continent by continent where one may vote for something. Still
VG at 1450 recheck but off before 1500. At 13-15 it`s 300 kW from Galbeni at
285 degrees, intended only for France (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. The unknown site transmitter on 13600 is still buzzy, Nov
3 at 1337 in Russian // 12025 an echo apart. They kept talking about Ukraine
making me wonder if it was really Ukrainian language, but not, and not // RUI
15635. At 1350 CODAR QRM starts, more M&W conversation about Ukraine; 1357
music, Golos Rossii ID, Brahms` Lullaby, Russkaya Sluzhba to Australia and New
Zealand, 1400 Novosti, and some lite co-channel QRM starts, neither of which is
accounted for in HFCC.
After Cuba finally closed 13760, Nov 3 at 1410 heard a Russian song from VOR
13755 and again mentioning Ukraine. This is via Wertachtal, GERMANY (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. Weak 13m signals from the BSKSA channels known to be active
here, assumed Arabic, Nov 3 at 1403: 21460, 21505 // 21640. Far too weak for
any of the associated mixing products to penetrate. Spain`s triumvirate, 21540,
21570 and 21610 were equally poor.
Down on 19m, BSKSA had loud and clear signal on 15435, Nov 3 at 1507 with
Qur`an, and no buzz during the brief time I monitored, also // weaker 15225
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. I figured Brother Scare via WBCQ 9330-CUSB, would make
a 1-hour-later timeshift after DST like all their other programming; had been
daily at 14-16 UT, so now at 15-17? No, Nov 3 it was already on at 1432 as B.S.
was admitting he had a speech impediment and limited vocabulary ``like Moses``;
program was close to // 9385 WWRB, but not 9265v WINB where he was saying the
US is ``on the verge of total collapse``. Also ran across B.S. on 13810 via
Nauen, GERMANY.
As for WINB, B.S. was on 9265v before 1500 but at 1502 I found it had switched
to 13570v with some other gospel huxter.
The WBCQ schedule at http://schedule.wbcq.com/main.php?fn=sked&freq=9330
still has not been updated, showing times in EDT / 4 hours from UT and BS at
14-16 UT daily == 10 am to noon, so the question is whether this transmission
will stay on Eastern time or UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. REE, 17595, 1405 UT program is now ``El Espa?ol --- un Idioma sin
Fronteras``, about the language, its literature, and worldwide impact, VG Nov
3. Seems the madrile?os have no problem calling their language ``espa?ol``
rather than ``castellano`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also
SAUDI ARABIA
** SUDAN [non]. ERT Greece, 15650 in Greek at 1506 Nov 3 over co-channel, no
doubt still Miraya FM via IRRS via Slovakia. I wonder how the mix is in Sudan?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K. 11955, B-B-C chimes, 1458 Nov 3 with ACI de HCJB 11960, 1500 HCJB gone
and BBC opening listed Urdu via Rampisham (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. Surprised to hear VOA Spanish at an unscheduled later hour than
usual, Nov 3 at 1326 on 9885. It was the Enfoque Andina program with news about
sexual exploitation of children in Per?, then filled out semihour with a rap
song, #2 in the Top Ten; said would be back tomorrow at 7:30 am Eastern time [=
1230 UT].
I thought there was no DentroCuban jamming on this frequency for a change, but
during a brief pause which followed, I could detect it. Then English outro from
``VOA, Washington``, and I thought they were about to sign off. But re-opening
at 1330 UT with Buenos D?as, Am?rica, giving current time correctly as 8:30 am
in Washington, 1330 UT. No frequencies announced.
At 1340 found it on // 13715, item about Vietnamese-Americans supporting McCain
as good for business, and he has certain connexions with the home country.
The trouble is, the VOA website B-08 schedule for Spanish, quoted in DXLD
8-115, shows the morning broadcast is at 1100-1230 only! And here we have it
running past 1330, presumably until at least 1400.
It seems VOA Spanish is another service which observes local DST changes in
Washington, no doubt confusing target listeners all over Latin America where no
such changes are happening! How incestuous: programming is scheduled for the
convenience of the studio, not the listeners.
Axually, the morning broadcast was at 1100-1230 until Nov 1, but is now
registered for 1230-1400 thru B-08 until March 28 (but what about another
timechange here earlier in March??) // before and after being 9535 and 13715,
unchecked. Note that the total block has shifted one sesquihour later, not just
one hour.
Then there is the morning sports roundup M-F at 1400-1415, which I think does
not make a DST shift. I was looking for it too, not heard on 17565, but
Greenville sometimes does not propagate on 16m altho much further signals do
such as Spain 17595. Also supposed to be on 11840, unchecked. I did find that
9885 was still on with open carrier at 1409 but 13715 was not.
Now I wonder how VOA`s evening broadcast in Spanish may have shifted; it
started B-08 at 0000-0130, extended UT Sun and Mon to 0200, on 5890, 5940,
9885. And the M-F news roundup should stay at 2300-2315 on 5890, 9885 (Glenn

** U S A. WEWN, The Squeal, getting worse on 11520 in Spanish Nov 3 at 1455,
reaching the nails-on-blackboard level. No such problem on // 7555 nor on
English 5755 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WRNO continues running long hours on 7505; Nov 3 at 0716 with the
usual gospel rock/praise music, at this hour no longer the big solid signal;
still big at 1318, 1530, but weaker in full daytime 1715, 1935, despite
supposed break in authorized 7505 schedule between 1600 and 2300. At 2115 I
could barely detect R. Tirana on 7510 in the WRNO splash; without WRNO, Tirana
may have been better on 7510 than // 9345 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. Skywave at the top end of the MW band is holding up at least to
within an hour of local mean noon 1832 UT. Nov 3 at 1728 UT there was
sportstalk about Dallas Cowboys on 1700, G signal at peaks but briefly fading
completely down, also with weaker station making SAH. No other X-band stations
beyond local KFXY-1640 were audible, not even Kansas City 1660. The 1700 is
KKLF Richardson TX in The Metroplex, and the SAH most likely from Des Moines`
KBGG (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. RNV CI via Cuba, 11680, Nov 3 at 1501 broken English YL
opening this ``International Channel Circuit``; 1512 recheck was back in
Spanish, sounds like Ch?vez himself blustering (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

exotic YL vocals and YL annxr. S5 signal but low modulation. Really nice
music that caught my attention.
6860 EGYPT, ERTU R. Cairo heard at 17.44 on 03 Nov. w/Turkish program
including AR/TU pop mx with female annxer/DJ. Good sigs and nothing around
to cause QRM.
Another busy day/night due to the security situation here. Kidnapping and
attempted kidnapping of an NGO with a fatality. We are now varying our
times and routes, so my DX quality may vary a bit as well.
