Mexico, 6104.50, XEQM, pres, 1108-1210 Tuned in late when
I noted typical Mexican type ballads. After one tune a long discourse
by a male in Spanish language. Later more music. At 1205 a female
continues the hosting. Signal was fair to poor. (Chuck Bolland,

The station was still coming in at 1217 UTC with a fair signal. It seems
that during the interim, they may have retuned since the measure frequency
is now 6104.69 KHz instead of 6104.50 KHz.

THE WORLD FOCUSES ON CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE ENVIRONMENT
World Environment Day, commemorated each year on 5 June, is one of the
principal means by which the United Nations raises global awareness of
environmental issues, such as climate change, to encourage political attention
and action. As the world seeks to secure a new international agreement to
combat climate change - and with the crucial 'COP15' climate change summit due
to take place in December - the BBC World Service Trust is broadening its work
on climate change and disaster preparedness.

** ANGUILLA. Caribbean Beacon was missing from 6090 at 0620 June 5, see BRAZIL,
but at 1318, daytime frequency 11775 was on the air as usual, and with usual
clash of two audio sources: underneath, a screaming YL from the 1610 local
service bleedthru, and on top, the calm, measured, seemingly reasonable tones
of Pastor Melissa Scott. But she does go on. And on. And on (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. Anguilla was missing from 6090 again at 0620 June 5; wish I had
checked earlier, but now a mix of two or three weak signals on slightly
different offsets, the one barely on top being in Portuguese, and I think I
heard a 3:20 timecheck go by, so no doubt it`s the 24-hour R. Bandeirantes, S?o
Paulo (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. June 5 at 1350 tuning across 31m, I could not hear any CBCNQ on
9625, but instead DRM-like noise 9620-9630. Could Sackville have been testing
DRM here? That transmitter is normally not needed elsewhere until 1505. Or was
it just a local noise peak. I have enquired (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake check June 5: generally poor reception from E Asia. At
1311, just barely audible on 8400 and not on 9000; at 1321, fair on 13970 and
14420 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. HEAR THE SEVERE INTERFERENCE ON 9830
Dear Serife Telliel: I notified you some weeks ago since you started using 9830
kHz for English to North America at 2200 UT, that there was severe interference
from radioteletype already on that frequency.
Yet nothing has been done about it. I have been keeping track of reports from
other listeners in North America and I know that in some areas on some days
there is little or no interference. However, most of the time it is severe here
in central North America (Oklahoma) making it absolutely impossible to hear
your broadcast.
Yesterday I was going to record a sample, but your signal was so weak compared
to the RTTY that I could not tell it was there. Today your signal was a little
better. I have attached a clip of a little over one minute at 2221 UT June 4.
At some point you may be able to recognize the intonations of one of your
English-language announcers, underneath the teletype.
For the first part I stayed tuned exactly on 9830, then I rocked slightly up
and down to show that it made no difference, as the RTTY is on exactly the same
frequency. Then toward the end I switched on the BFO to show what that sounded
like altho it made no difference either.
I repeat my previous suggestion that the easiest solution to this problem would
be for you to shift up 9835.
I hope you will do something soon so that your transmission on this frequency
will not be wasted in this part of the world. Regards, (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
Oklahoma, USA, WORLD OF RADIO, to the TRT Chief Engineer, via DXLD) No reply

** U S A. Pastor Pete Peters intoning with weak signal on 9498.7 or so hetting
9500. Must be spur from super-strong WWCR 9980. This can easily overload the
receiver, putting his unwelcome voice at many spots on the dial, unless
attenuated, but I think this was a transmitted spur, as it behaved like a real
signal: still there with two levels of attenuation switched in; FRG-7
preselector properly peaks there; fades in and out, while any fading on 9980 is
undetectable; and also audible on the YB-400 where I measured it. Still there
at 1354 recheck. Could be a matching spur on the hi side of 9980, but nothing
detected on 10461.3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. R. Nacional de la RASD with good signal on 6300 as
late as 0625 June 5 with local music and announcements, a pleasant way to end
the day here as the day starts there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Some items omitted inadvertently from my previous report:
** CANADA [and non]. CFRX still suffers co-channel interference on 6070, from
which it is inconceivable that it would ever move; equally inconceivable that
RCI at HFCC would lift a finger to protect 6070. Wouldn`t do any good anyway in
this case, as the culprit is an outlaw nation, which refuses to participate in
HFCC, hardly the worst of its sins: Voice of Korea, per Aoki on 6070 at
0900-1250 in Japanese, with the usual breaks before hourtop, 125 kW at 109
degrees from Kanggye. June 4 at 1156 a fast SAH from this was marring reception
of CFRX. Better news in the evening: CVC Spanish via Chile has replaced 6070
with 11665 at 2300-0200 as of June 3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. R. Rebelde, 5025, June 4 at 1156 with subaudible heterodyne
of a few Hz. This always makes me suspect that VL8K is stuck here on its
daytime frequency instead of 2485; but no 120m reception now to see if 2485 is
missing while 2310 and 2325 are not. If it isn`t VL8K under Cuba, what could it
be? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PALAU. Thursday June 4 at 1218 as I tuned past 9930 I noted it was in
Japanese, and they mentioned `KWHR`, which is the defunct Hawaii station of
World Harvest Radio! Apparently this program is just as confused as WHR HQ in
South Bend about which station really exists at the moment. Aoki listings show
``Preparing for Jesus`` is indeed scheduled, in Japanese since May 29, on
Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1200-1300 from T8WH Koror, 100 kW at 345 degrees.
Disregard the WHR schedule in DX Mix News which claims Sound of Hope in Chinese
is on at this time. If it were, it would have been jammed. In fact, disregard
the entire WHR schedule as presented there as much of it is imaginary (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
