Solomon Islands, 5020, SIBC, 1015-1030, Noted a threshold signal here. It's
either not faded in yet, or I missed the window. Anyway, notice a male in
comments. Signal was barely audible although the carrier was easy to hear.
Checked back at 1100 UTC and the signal still hadn't improved.
(Chuck Bolland, October 27, 2009)
Russia, 6075, Radio Rossii, 1020-1030, At tune in noted two females in comments
in Russian language. Signal peaked at around 1026 as I listened. At 1027
canned
promos by a male. At 1028 ID by a female and then more program announcements.
Signal was fair. Checked 5920 and 5920 where I heard nothing from Rossii. If I
remember correctly, 6075 is a Fall/Winter frequency. Regardless, this is the
first time I heard them on this freq in a few months. (Chuck Bolland, October
27, 2009)
Bolivia, 6155.23, Radio Fides, 1033-1045, Spanish comments by a male and female
at tune in. So far the signal is fair. The comments continue. (Chuck
Bolland, October
27, 2009)
Peru, 6173.80, Radio Tawantinsuyo, 1036-1100, So much splatter and
interference,
but heard a male in Spanish language comments under all of the junk. Signal
never
improved beyond a poor level, while the male continued to talk. (Chuck
Bolland, October 27, 2009)
Indonesia, 9680, RRI Jakarta, 1046-1100, Noted a male in Indonesian language
comments for a minute or two, then semi-classical music heard. The Qu'ran
followed at 1048. Signal was good with no sign of WYFR this morning. (Chuck
Bolland, October 27, 2009)
Indonesia, 9525.90, Voice of Indonesia, 1051-1105, Initially heard Indonesian
type music for a few minutes. Later a female comments until 1055 when dead
air follows for a minute. Something happened to the signal then because
suddenly it drops from fair to almost nil heard. The signal never returned to
the fair level noted earlier, but remained at threshold. (Chuck Bolland,
October 27, 2009)

Nice QSL. I got similar WHL-card from Fred a few
months ago. Every now and then I've been chasing
these Global Link Network stations and have received
verifications from DAO, DZO, HEB, KKL, VZG420 and WHL.
Their Chinese station XSF seems to run only Pactor
without inserting CW ID, same used to be with LSD,
Argentina. I'm not sure if LSD is operational at the moment.

Harjot, I am sorry, but I went back through some old e-mails from you and never
found anything that indicated I was the only free member of GRDXC.? As a matter
of fact, your description of this and other events doesn't match what I have
received.
I think I will stay with the other DX groups I belong to who make the hobby
more enjoyable and treat me as a true friend.
In spite of the tone of your e-mail below, I would still like to wish the best
of DX to you and the rest of GRDXC.

Hello J.D.Stephens & others,
?
Please let us know how long have you been associated with GRDXC and what your
contribution has been so far to GRDXC ?Does your limited experience with GRDXC
warrant you to pass your opinion on the club and your "negative experience"?in
a forum like Hardcore DX ?
?
When you joined you were informed that you are the only free member in the club
and we gave you membership in the hope to get regular DX contributions from you
but despite being member for 1 week we didn't recieve any DX tip from you,not
even a carbon copy.By the way you were only given membership to Globe Radio DX
Yahoogroups and not GRDXC CORE Members Area.
?
There are a?some members in Hard Core DX who were members of GRDXC since 2001
but never sent any contribution for GRDXC.
?
GRDXC was free from 2001 to August 2009 with about 200 members but very less
participation by some "sleeping members".So we decided to let in only those
members who were genuine "active" dxers and who are still passionate about
DXing despite the setbacks this hobby has suffered.
?
It is not a race to include more numbers in the club or collecting funds,it is
all about faith in the club and participation in it.
?
We informed you to please check the GRDXC FAQs before joining :
http://pub17.bravenet.com/faq/show.php?usernum=1457002333
?
which you didn't.Otherwise you would not have asked your question.
?
Your experience has strengthened our resolve to finish free for all membership
altogether and to give membership only to participating members as GRDXC is all
about sharing and participation and not about "sleeping members".Each and every
member is very busy in their life and not only the ones who dont
participate.Number of members and consequently membership fees dont matter to
us.This may not be true for other clubs who have even started including FM,TV
DXing etc but we have stuck to only SW and at the most MW DXing since 2001.You
must have checked the 8000 or so archives of Globe Radio DX Yahoogroups by now
which prove we have not strayed away from SW,MW DXing.
?
Thanks & 73s,
?

** ALBANIA. Further observations of R. Tirana B-09 to North America:
6110 in Albanian at 0104 UT Oct 27: Fair signal but muffled audio, talk into
music. There is lite interference from presumed Cuban jamming residual clix
centered about 6108. This would continue to be heard thru the evening, but not
much of a problem. Nothing audible on 7425 in the noisy inside environment, but
could be heard weakly outside in the yard on DX-398 portable, where all the
subsequent chex were made:
7425 at 0138 in English, poor reception; while 6110 was still open along with
6105-6115 so could be used instead with better propagation.
7425 at 0250 in English, again poor, and 6110 still available.
6150 at 0330 in English, good signal, no adjacent interference but possibly
something very weak underneath on 6150. Nothing significant listed, but Aoki
reminds us of Bayrak, Brasil, and surely too early for Yakutsk.
6100 at 0430 in English, good, about the same as 6150 an hour earlier. No
interference here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 27 at 1329: best on 8400, weaker on 9000 and weaker
still on 10210 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [non]. CRI made its usual B-season switch from 9650 to 15230 for
English via Sackville at 13-14, leaving a one-hour gap on 9650 between KBS
English and KBS Korean, but Oct 27 at 1333 there was nothing else to be heard
on 9650. However, on a good day one ought to be able to catch Radio Sonder
Grense from RSA, now scheduled 07-18 with 100 kW, 275 degrees from Meyerton
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CROATIA [and non]. As soon as Bonaire quit 6165 at 0631* Oct 27 a much
weaker signal was uncovered, Slavic-sounding, so presumably Deanovec, 100 kW at
320 degrees toward W Europe and consequently also NAm, which also starts at
0600. Plus a rumbling SAH, Chad? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. RHC Oct 27: at 0602, 6140 in English this date, some hum,
and phone JBA ringing in background on this frequency only, not so on // 6000
or 6060. 6140 now suffering splash from 6145 which is RFI in Hausa via
Issoudun, 170 degrees but quite strong here way outside Hausa-land. Meanwhile
RHC in Spanish on distorted 6120 and Camping-mixed 6000.
RHC 15120 at 1351 had an audible het on the lo side of about 200 Hz. Looks like
the only possibility is BSKSA`s Bengali service, unless it`s yet another Cuban
defect.
The 11760 spurs are still going Oct 27. At 1352 centered approximately 11707.5
and 11812.5, further away from fundamental than usual, 52.5 kHz. This time
11760 had a weak whine audible underneath otherwise good modulation, the same
pitch making the multiple spurs detectable, as low as roughly 11235 and as high
as 12185, not measured.
Listened to 11760 at 1402 as Despertar con Cuba was closing until tomorrow at
``6 am``, then at 1404 current almost-correct EST timecheck as 9:03 ``en todo
el territorio nacional``. Well, duh, a small but untiny country like Cuba would
never have more than one timezone in effect! No frequency listing at this hour,
into a couple minutes of news, and Voces de la Revoluci?n, Fidel at a
fever-pitch from anta?o (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. Good thing I said ``apparently`` the Aligarh blob had been fixed as
of Oct 26, since it was back Oct 27! At 1326 centred about 9472, extreme
distortion spreading 9465-9480 // but not synchronized Bengaluru 9425. However,
next tuneby at 1329 found the blob replaced by normal weak properly modulated
AM signal on 9470. Perhaps the engineers started up the defective transmitter
by mistake as usual at 1318, then switched to the good one a dekaminute later.
So that is still progress (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. VOI, 9525.9, Oct 27 at 1331, very undermodulated in W&M
conversation, and soon could be recognized the voice of the guy from
Banjarmasin as usual Tuesdays for Exotic Indonesia. Useless to try to get
anything out of it.
RRI, 9680, good modulation unlike the VOI transmitter down the hall at
Cimanggis, Oct 27 at 1335 talking over music rather than CCI as first seemed;
1336 song called Rosita. Aoki continues to show this closing at 1300, but
consistently heard some two hours further; and apparently the Chinese radio war
no longer wages on 9680 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INTERNATIONAL. Quick check of 13m Oct 27 at 1424 shows it still getting that
October MUF-bumpup, with 8 signals audible, the usual ones on 21460, 21505,
21540, 21560, 21570, 21610, 21640, 21695, with 21470 the only absentee (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN [non]. R. Farda, Oct 27: on 15690 at 1342, ID in passing, telephone
SFX, echoing // 15410. 15690 is now scheduled all the way from 0230 to 1400 via
Sri Lanka, except for one hour at 12-13 via Biblis; why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. Tuned in 5985 barely in time to hear a couple notes of
piano music until 1430* Oct 27. Good signal, so Shiokaze should have been easy
listening from 1400, tho not likely in English on a Tuesday (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. Radio Educaci?n`s co-channel QRM problems on 6185: Oct 27
at 0250 check I find a rippling fast subaudible heterodyne already, which must
be from Vatican, not scheduled to start programming until 0310 in Armenian.
Next check at 0603, XEPPM talking rather than playing anthem as 24 hours
earlier so it must have been closer to 0600 this date; but co-channel QRM still
from Vatican now in Scandinavian language // 7335 mixed with Tunisia. VR
finally finishes 6185 around 0620 and then I could enjoy XEPPM`s eclectic music
in the clear. At 0631 it involved voice as instrument plus synthesizer, perhaps
by Philip Glass with a dose of minimalism.
At next check 0710, however, XEPPM blown away by Bras?lia, which must be
signing on an hour earlier due to DST there. XEPPM is such an excellent station
that it deserves a worldwide clear frequency! Tell that to the Mexican
authorities or XEPPM itself who have no concept of the need for active
frequency management and the ability to shift as needed. Last year, some
Mexican SW frequencies finally got recognized by HFCC, but that did no good,
and they have probably been deleted now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 49 meters used to be clear of most of the big relay
signals after 0530, but irrelevant DST shift in Europe has led RN via Bonaire
to move its Dutch transmission one UT hour later even tho NAm remains on DST!
6165 now *0559 Oct 27 with IS for only one minute mixed with Dutch IDs, then
sign-on mentioning this and several frequencies for parts of Europe, blowing
away CBC on 6160 [see NEWFOUNDLAND]. VG signal strength but lots of selective
fading and consequent heavy distortion. Also noted timesignal at 0630 and
*then* national anthem until 0631* This is aimed 320 degrees for WNAm. And the
transmission is axually registered until 0631, but supposedly ends four minutes
earlier on Sundays only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEWFOUNDLAND. CBC Radio 1 has canceled CBC Overnight, the service it has
carried for several years consisting of `SW` stations from abroad put together
for them by WRN. Now Radio Canada Immigration gets its big break, The Link
carried on CBC`s domestic network, even if it is the middle of the night. And
consequently relayed back on SW by CKZN, noted Oct 27 at 0557 as Marc
Montgomery was upwrapping its first hour urging listeners to stay tuned for
second hour. Usual fast rippling SAH from CKZU, as the two CBC SW stations on
6160 cannot match their frequencies accurately.
The old schedule here http://www.cbc.ca/overnight/schedule.html has still not
been updated. Andy Reid points out the daily CBC sked
http://www.cbc.ca/programguide/daily/2009/10/27/cbc_radio_one/
which shows The Link at 2-4 am local, and the rest mostly BBCWS now. To avoid
further confusion, in the case of CKZN, `local` time means Atlantic, not
Newfoundland as CBC scheduling is simultaneous, not one semihour offset.
However, poetic justice at *0559 when RN Bonaire cuts on 6165 and blows away
6160. More about that under NETHERLANDS [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. RNZI, stuck on 6170, continues to confront co-channel
QRM in B-09: Oct 27 at 1320, Dateline Pacific with considerable interference
from Khabarovsk, and SAH of about 4 Hz; however, no het from DZRM 6170.4
audible today. Meanwhile the other RNZI transmitter is idle, taking a DRM break
but could be run elsewhere as a clear AM channel (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PORTUGAL. RDPI on new 7345, Oct 27 at 0613 giving detailed satellite, FM,
DRM tuning info as they do periodically during the day, then ID as ``RDP
Internacional, R?dio Portugal, r?dio p?blica, r?dio para todos``. That about
covers it. This is ex-7240 in A-09, which in turn is now occupied by DW English
via ? Portugal. 7345 is now scheduled M-F only at 06-07, 45 degrees, but good
here off the side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SERBIA [non]. IRS is supposedly scheduled in B-09, for NAm: on 6190, 0100 in
Serbian, 0130-0200 English, except with Serbian occupying the entire hour on UT
Sundays. No more second English broadcast. Except I have heard nothing on 6190
checked UT Oct 25, 26 and 27. But on 27 I was hearing something Slavic on 9675
after 0100, and since nothing else is scheduled there now in B-09, I suspect
IRS have been slow to make the frequency change. More chex needed, especially
for English at 0130 on 9675 or 6190.
BTW, on the B-09 schedule found by Kai Ludwig at
http://glassrbije.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=30&Itemid=123
`S Amerika` means NORTH America. There has been speculation that IRS is not
really active on SW at all, following a change of management and very uncertain
funding (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [non]. Confirming the co-official token language segment still exists
on REE tho timeshifted post-DST to M-F 1340-1355 on numerous frequencies: Oct
27 at 1349 on 15170 via Costa Rica, concluding Galician segment with strong
Castilian accent, sea-chanty theme, 1350 into Basque segment which of course
after the intro in Euzkadi, is really safely in Castilian so it can easily be
monitored to prevent anything pro-ETA being conveyed. First is Catalan at 1340.
Meanwhile, 15170 had music co-channel underneath about 4 Hz away. Yes, RRI is
again colliding at 13-15, 290 degrees from Galbeni in Romanian (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TUNISIA [and non]. Never mind my recent schedule for RTT that 7335 would not
start until 0700. Oct 27 it`s already going at 0611, news in Arabic mixing with
Scandinavian talk from Vatican // 6185 which is also in collision, with Mexico.
Did Vatican too expect Tunisia not to start 7335 until 0700? Unlikely, as
Vatican does its own thing and allows several collisions to go on season after
season. It`s up to other stations to get out of the way, if they care. RTT is
// clear 7275, at least. Could the confusion be due to a delayed DST shift? No,
timeanddate.com says no DST in Tunisia this year (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY [and non]. VOT on new 6040 via Sackville, Oct 27 at new hour-later
time 0433, in correct language, English, sufficient altho not super signal, but
much better than // 6020 direct from Turkey buried against the het from Per?`s
perpetually off-frequency Radio Victoria. Any station voluntarily broadcasting
on 6020.0 during the Peruvian night is incredibly foolish, yet Turkey is not
the only one; a string of them still do, blithely ignorant of the het driving
away listeners:
CRI via Albania at 00-04, Turkey at 04-05, VOA French from Greenville to Africa
at 0530-0630, RRI at 0630-0700 in English DRM, Australia 0900-1100, RNW Bonaire
0930-1000 in Dutch. They all could chip in and buy Victoria a new correctly cut
crystal for a pittance, but that might not be welcomed from its clashers who
would keep doing so, merely without the het.
What about VOT`s English at 1330? Oct 27 at 1347, RFI in French was atop 15300
with a fast SAH, but VOT clear on 12035 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [and non]. BBCWS now quite good on 15575, with interview about paying
taxes (or not) in Ireland, Oct 27 at 1343. 15575 during this hour only is 90
degrees from Skelton, while at 07-13 it`s 97 degrees from Cyprus (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WRMI, 9955, often inaudible in the nightmiddle due to dipping MUF,
was quite audible Oct 27 at 0622 with R. Prague relay in English, VG but mixed
with DentroCuban jamming pulses. WRMI on NW antenna this time? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. KVOH already on the 17775 air at the early hour of 1421 Oct 27, VG
S9+20 with praise hymn in Spanish. Supposedly authorized only from 1500, but
previously heard as early as 1445. The sun had barely risen in LA at 1409, so a
quick MUF buildup, likely facilitated by HF sporadic E not reaching VHF.
KVOH continues to be FCC-registered for another frequency, 9975 at 01-08 and
13-15, and once in a while someone claims to have heard it in the evening, but
I am not convinced it is ever really using 9975. Definite IDs required (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 9670 good with country song in Burmese, Oct 27 at 1334, then
mentioning BBC, VOA and Australia, into distorted woman-on-the-street
interview. Scheduled as VOA Burmese via Tinian at 1330-1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN. VR collisions: see MEXICO, TUNISIA
UNIDENTIFIED. 11785 at 1433 Oct 27 with buzz very much like the Saudi sound on
21505, later 15435, but no likely suspects listed; atop CRI in Chinese via East
Turkistan. BTW, Hmong Lao Radio on WHRI 11785 is expected to shift one UT hour
later Nov 1 to 14-15 Sun & Sat (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15465-15470-15475, DRM noise at 1346 Oct 27. Is any DRM scheduled
here or on any nearby frequency in the B-09 schedule at http://www.drm-dx.de/ ?
Of course not (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15775 the center of a whiny, mushy signal with fades, so not
local, Oct 27 at 1341; rather like somebody`s spur but no matches nearby or
clues (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
