** CANADA [non]. 11895 good and clear Dec 20 at 1505, disgusting sermon in slow
English about bringing a female (animal?) without defect as a sin offering,
slaughtering and pouring out the blood on the altar, removing the fat and
burning it, avoiding unclean stuff; Leviticus V mentioned.
What does PWBR `2009` say this is? AWR Guam is the only bar, but summer-only
and language-other, so that would be a bum rap. EiBi and Aoki have the answer
as usual: Bible Voice Broadcasting, 90 degrees to South Asia at 1500-1530 when
English is only on Saturdays; EiBi says Nauen, Aoki says Wertachtal. The
Franco-Germans are always jumping the sites around, presumably for logistical
reasons (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. RHC, 9550, Dec 19 at 2306 news in English, with clear echo
during brief fades. Suspect this was long-path, quite a haul from here at some
38 megameters. SE Asian signals were inbooming such as VOA on 9490, which is
Tinang at 200 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SLOVAKIA. R. Slovakia International IS and ID in English at 1427 Dec 20 on
6055, weak with flutter, 1430 into German as scheduled. Europe on 49m at this
time of day is quite a treat, but surely possible at solstice, and just a band
away from regular Pridnestrovye at same hour on 7370. Beam of 305 degrees from
RSO helps too, exactly the same azimuth used for English to NAm at 0100, still
intruding in the 40m hamband on 7230. This being a Saturday instead of a
Friday, the usual dominant on 6055, R. Nikkei was already off at 1415 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOLOMON ISLANDS. Weak signal on 9541.5, Dec 20 at 0730 with talk, seems
English intonation; a bit better at 0735, mostly YL talking and occasional bits
of music. Just not enough against noise level, but BFO helped and proved it was
not drifting. What else could it be on this frequency? Next check at 1407, no
trace of a carrier, just something on 9540.0 masked by QRDRM from 9540-9550,
BBC/DW Woofferton 100 kW, 114 degrees. I really wonder if SIBC is running 31m
24 hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SWEDEN. 9400, weak with umlauty language Dec 20 at 1511. As a -00 frequency,
first suspect naturally Bulgaria, but not this time: Radio Sweden in Swedish
scheduled from Hörby. An hour earlier I was getting it much better on 11540 as
I was confirming Solomon Islands was not being heard on 9541.5, but instead a
carrier from something matching 2.0 MHz below on 9540.0. Anyhow, seems Radio
Sweden/Teracom facilities survived the earthquake a few days ago (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 11810, weak signal in Arabic, Dec 20 at 1501, pronouncing a website
with English letters including .net. I assumed it was Jordan but EiBi and Aoki
agree Jordan is off by then, and V. of Turkey is opening Arabic at 1500, until
1700, 252 degrees from Emirler, so that is how I will list-log it, presumably,
the .net also a positive clew (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K. Nice to hear Bow Bells preceding BBCWS transmission on 12095, Dec 20 at
1459, but only until 1459:30 opening, and 1500 into stupid ballgames, this
being a Saturday when BBC wastes its vast resources on such Sportsworld
nonsense. Good signal from Rampisham, 250 kW at 95 degrees for this bihour.
Originally, out-of-band 12095 could be used only from UK sites, but now you
never know. At other dayparts, it`s Cyprus or Ascension. Also noticed
timesignal on the hour was about 1 second late compared to WWV; so why bother,
misleading countless listeners about the correct time? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 10000, very weak singing and talk underneath WWVH, Dec 20 at
1418. Maybe another instance of mixing product between 31m transmitters,
Jordan? No trace of WWV. WWCR 9980 had not yet built up to overpowering
strength desensitizing and blocking WWV/H most of the day, and there did not
seem to be other super-power signals on 31m which could cause receiver
cross-modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
