Are they going to keep on airing these programs just on Saturdays only?
Radio Marti is there with a very strong signal. Or I wonder if this could be
a relay? Please kindly tell.

Solomon Islands, 5020, SIBC, 1005-1015, Noted a female in comments,
probably pidgin language. Some English words heard during the comments.
Heard a few place names such as "Fuji" mentiond. This is possibly the news.
At 1010 an ID in English, "...This is the National Service of SIBC, Radio ..."
Missed the last of the ID due to a couple of crashes. However, the
signal was fair during the period. While listening I noticed that SIBC was
at the same level as Radio Rebelde from Cuba on 5025 KHz. It seemed
rather strange since Cuba is only 100 miles from my location and SIBC is on
the otherside of the earth? (Chuck Bolland, October 11, 2009)

Just updated the MAGNA.ZIP file for downloading.
The AOKI file is updated as of the 10th, while the
EIBI hasn't been updated since October 8th by
their individual authors. You can obtain a free

The days are getting shorter here in the Northern
Hemisphere. This means DX will start to improve.

** CANADA. KTOK 1000 IBOC remains off, we hope permanently, allowing CBW 990
Winnipeg to reach as far as Oklahoma City unimpeded when propagation is
favorable. Oct 11 at 0505 starting CBC Overnight with The Strand, Weekend from
BBCWS; after news, at 0605 opening R. Netherlands, but then to Network Europe.
XET Monterrey was no problem as it`s direxional south at night. However, it can
still be a problem when propagation from the north is degraded. The two are in
almost opposite direxions from here, so difficult to null one or the other
without a unidirexional antenna (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC 49mb channels were nominal for a change, checked at 0633 Oct 11:
English 6140, 6060, 6010; Spanish 6120, 6000; however, 6060 had some squealing.
At least, no phone-ringing involved now!
But the RHC 11760 transmitter, which I monitored with at least 23 spurs at 51.2
kHz intervals, around 1325 Oct 10, was STILL doing this when next checked at
0614 Oct 11! And nightmiddle propagation was cooperating, while 25m is often
dead from Cuba by then. I measured the closest one on 11707.8, so the offset
had changed slightly to 52.2 kHz. Still accompanied by the same pitch tone on
each of them, making them easy to spot even tho some are quite weak, audible on
all these frequencies, which however were not measured individually but
computed later:
11707.8
11655.6
11603.2
11551.0
11498.8
11446.6
11394.4
11342.2
And on the hi side:
11812.2
11864.4
11916.6
11968.8
12021.0
12073.2
And these were STILL polluting the spectrum almost 24 hours after first
noticed, Oct 11 at 1314. Lacking a sharp carrier, it`s hard to measure precise
frequencies, but rocking back and forth for minimum noise, I put the closest
one on 11708.6, i.e. 51.4 kHz offset; this time I also measured a lower one on
11452.9, which would mean 51.18 kHz separation, so that`s the margin of error,
but very close to the 51.2 kHz peaks I had first observed yesterday. So using
that figure, the lowest I could hear was around 11196.8, the highest 12323.2.
This poor old transmitter is now running 22 hours a day, 0000-2200 per RHC
website schedule, and obviously needs some serious maintenance. But then they
all do, for one reason or another (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. Looking for the AIR Aligarh blob from the malfunxioning 9470
transmitter, Oct 11 at 1325: nothing on 9470, but not much on 9425 Bengaluru
either, so propagation unfavorable. Then I do find a filthy FMy blob centered
about 9348, bothering KTWR 9340 from its *1327 with IS and opening Santali per
Aoki. I could not match the 9348 blob `modulation` to other likely culprits,
WTJC 9370 or WWRB 9385, and Aligarh has previously appeared even lower than
this, so likely it by elimination. By 1332, 9425 was just barely audible with
flutter, but not enough to make a match, and still nothing on 9470 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH [non]. Tuned in KBSWR via CANADA, 6045 amid Spanish broadcast at
0631 UT Sunday Oct 11, to hear the conclusion of what was billed as the first
contribution by Yimber (Gavir?a, Cali, Colombia) to the Antena de la Amistad
show. Unlike the clip of Radio del Sur which immediately followed, his audio
was defective, breaking up, but that did not seem to bother KBS (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LAOS [non]. Hmong Lao Radio missing from usual 13-14 UT Sunday slot Oct 11
via WHRI 11785. Transmitter not on air, allowing thru instead ChiCom CNR1
jammer and VOA Chinese via Thailand, just like on weekdays. Come to think of
it, I did not notice HLR Saturday Oct 10 either, or the previous weekend?
The World Harvest Radio website http://www.whr.org is inaccessible to
investigate whether it`s still on their schedule. The HLR`s own website
http://www.h-lr.com/ audio archive stops after October 1, maybe a clue it is
finished, but then still says:
``Xov tooj cua Hmoob Lostsuas hais lus tawm rau huab cua nyob rau sab teb chaws
America nyob rau ntawm 11785 kHz raws cov sij hawm nram qab no. Nco ntsoov
txhua txhua hnub van xaum thiab van thiv (Sunday and Saturday) yog hais tib lub
sij hawm lawm xwb.``
Strangely enough, there`s no Hmong in Google`s language translation facility!
It`s interesting to see the states specified next, evidently where hmost of the
Hmong reside, not just Hminnesota:
``North America Saturday [and Sunday] Broadcasting Schedule
9:00-10:00 AM Eastern Time (MI, FL, NC, SC, GA, RI, PA, MA)
8:00- 9:00 AM Central Time (Arkansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin)
7:00- 8:00 AM Mountain Time (Colorado, Utah, Montana)
6:00- 7:00 AM Pacific time (California, Oregon, Nevada, Washington)``
BTW, part of FL is on Central Time, and part of OR is on Mountain Time, but
let`s not go there and maybe the Hmong don`t either. Also of interest:
http://www.h-lr.com/hlr/aboutus/aboutus.htm but nothing about the current
absence (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11520, WEWN in English at 0624 Oct 11, axually propagating and strong
enough to bring along with it the dirty spurs 10 kHz above and below, bothering
WYFR on 11530 and same sound on 11510 with BFO on. 11520 is currently scheduled
0000-0900 to Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. Al?, Presidente check, Sunday Oct 11 at 1550, by when it`s
usually underway if at all via CUBA. Nothing on 13750 or the other four
frequencies. Still it might pop up later if Hugo get going (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 910 kHz, what`s the source of the constant het here a couple
hundred Hz above or below, as I was hearing on the caradio between 04 and 05 UT
Oct 11? Would not be a trans-Atlantic on 909.0. Nothing listed in the
appropriate range at http://www.myradiobase.de/mediumwave/mwoffset.txt
where all the offsets are too close to 910.0
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
