BOSNIA [SERBIA non] 9675 Before I went to bed I noted unusual strong
deep night signals on both 41 and 31 mb even from close-by stations like
Wertachtal and Lampertheim, some 120 kms away from my location.
On 9675 kHz was International Radio Serbia from Bijeljina, Bosnia on air
with typical and very lovely Serbian (yugoslav) folk music in 0100-0200 UT
time slot Nov 1st.
Powerful S=9+20dB and excellent audio from the Swiss made transmitter - sure
it was the former 500 kW beast - but seemingly reduced to 200-250 kW level.
Deep and very fast fluttery though. ID "Belgradu Serbia" in Serbian noted at
0110 UT. Commentary then "Balkanske ... Serbia integratia ... Europske..." .
NX in Serbian at 0157-0159 UT by female. At 0200 UT end of program with some
"technical" sentence in Serbian. TX switched off at exact 02.00:52 UT.
Adjacent Iran in Spanish on 9680 kHz was very poor, S=6 level. Adjacent 9670
kHz channel content a mixture of both US Tibetan program from Wertachtal and
CHN mainland jamming at S=9+10dB level, 0100-0300 UT, but not annoying.

Rubbish DRM ruins 6100 kHz. 6100 Serbia was on air on Monday 26th, but
suffered once again by DRM outlet[s]! from Luxembourg 6095 and Moscow
6105 kHz.
6100 New U.K. outlet of Polish Radio Warsaw in German via Woofferton
today at 1630 UT, only S=9+15dB signal, but rubbish DRM signal on
adjacent 6088 to 6103.1 kHz from Junglinster Luxembourg site.
6105drm Voice of Russia, Moscow, latter which is in DRM mode now,
terribly covers 6100-6105-6110 channels at 2000-2300 UT. S=9+40dB.
(Wolfgang B?schel, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
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.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1484, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
International Radio Serbia is still active on SW, heard on 6100 on 27
October with Russian at 1900 and English at 1930 (with its usual
programme of news and regular feature Musical Heritage).

Hello,
On November 1, 2009 I was DXing the medium wave band and tuned on
WKBN, Youngstown, Ohio, 570 KHZ. WKBN went off the air briefly at 0824 UTC and
I was able to pick up the Spanish speaking station on this frequency that I
hear regularly but is more or less covered up most of the time. This station
was periodically broadcasting bursts of Morse and I could hear time pips along
with the male announcer. Was this possibly radio Reloj in Cuba? I thought that
someone in the HCDX group will know. Thank you!

Clean audio even heard from RUS/CIS stations like a local AM station, from
MSK, SAM, ARM, ERV, GRI. The final stage tubes on their Russian made
transmitter gear is now in perfect fine condition mostly. Some 10 years ago
most Russian SW facilities suffered by bad audio level.

Yup, you have Radio Reloj. This outlet is listed as CMHI, /Radio Reloj/,
in Santa Clara, Cuba. There are several other frequencies on which you
can hear other RR stations. 570, 790, 820, 830, 850, 860, 950,1020 among
others.

Warm greetings to all of you !
I found some time the past night after the movie theater to DX, to casual DX
the longwave broadcast band... A surprise, although not a good one, was hearing
Morocco on 171 weakly with a huge jammer-like noise. Unfortunatly, when I
nulled that noise, Morocco was weaker... They used to beam NNW from Nador
during the last couple of months (years ?), but they may have changed their
pattern since... Also something ver choppy on 180, QRMed by Europe 1 (see
below)...
I didn't had the opportunity to take my mother's car yet this week-end, but I
assume I may had the chance to log WICC 600 in C-QUAM STEREO as they were in
strong around 6PM EDT (5PM EST) on the Sanyo MCD-S830 barefoot...
But the most surprising thing was a change in my equipment, albeit a small
one... Instead pf using my Sangean with its low-Fi sound (as compared to my
trusty Sanyo MCD-S830), I used instead the Grundig G5 ultralight... Boy, does
it sound Hi-Fi ! I had trouble sleeping with RUV's classic rock and cosmic rock
music before, but now as it sounds much better, I went to bed around 0215 AM
local and felt asleep quickly... As far as the sensitivity goes, it is just
about the same or perphaps slightly BETTER than the Sangean (so a good point)
although it is hard to rate... I should take it at the weekday's
Hochelaga-Maisonneuve / MTL-EST house, even though like most ULR I can't
aircheck my listening pleasures, but who cares, as I'll bring my Sanyo MCD-S830
in the cases condx switch to heavy auroral or at least semi-auroral, enough for
some pleasant Radio Coro 780 airchecking... We don't have CDs in my mom's car,
so taping foreign tropical signals is the only way to bring into the car!
SPANISH MUSIC... That being said, as far as my airechecks querry is
concerned, see below my logs my biggest aircheck goal !
Well... Into the logs:
Trans-Atlantic DX
153 unID NOV 1 0603 - something here with little or no audio. Very choppy sound
! (Chiochiu*Pierrefonds-QC / Chiochiu-ULR)
162 FRANCE France Inter, Allouis NOV 1 0606 - French hard rock tune noted in
passing... They seldom play music on Sunday mornings, as they carry a
litterature show. They stop the litterature show maybe twice during the hour
for playing a wee bit of music. Very strong at this time, but consistently
weaker than Europe 1. The hill right on the France / Germany border probably
helps with Europe 1 better than the regular ground around the Allouis (Bourges
area) transmitter site. (Chiochiu*Pierrefonds-QC / Chiochiu-ULR)
171 MOROCCO M?di Un, Nador NOV 1 0610 - news, very poor and difficult with
jammer-like behind... Unfortunatly, it was almost impossible to null the jammer
without also reducing dramatically the strength of Radio M?diterrann?e
Internationale. SIO 211. (Chiochiu*Pierrefonds-QC / Chiochiu-ULR)
180 unID NOV 1 0354 - The unID of the night ! unID carrying some barely
discernable rock music getting through with a very dirty and choppy sound and
some het from 183 kHz... Either crossmodulation from something on mediumwave or
shortwave or maybe (who knows ?) TTT out of Polati, Turkey ? I know Turkey is
occasionally making the TA trip inland, as Sylvain Naud heard them... The PK's
Shielded Magnetic longwave loop is supposed to get rid of all the
crossmodulation and false QRM problems, so I have high hopes for Turkey-180 !
(Chiochiu*Pierrefonds-QC / Chiochiu-logs)
183 GERMANY Europe 1, Felsberg NOV 1 0356 - with a health magazine. Among the
items, was a recent increase of 55% in the H1N1 swine flu cases reported...
Very huge, booming in... After the 0400 GMT news, they went into the latest
French Top 50 show ! (Chiochiu*Pierrefonds-QC / Chiochiu-ULR)
189 ICELAND Rikis?tvarpid, Gufuskalar NOV 1 0615 - playing a smooth blend of
slow tempo and mid tempo classic rock, cosmic rock, pop-rock and prog-rock
tracks, mostly in English, maybe a tiny bit in Icelandic... I felt asleep
listening to them. At 5AM EDT (4AM EST) / 0900 GMT (UTC) they were still going
strong with Icelandic chatter, as my mother told me... With the Grundig G5 in
AM Wide mode, one could hear some splatter out of Europe 1. Wow ! I never
imagined two TAs could cause hets and splatter to each other !
(Chiochiu*Pierrefonds-QC / Chiochiu-ULR)
252 unID NOV 1 0352 - woman talk... Unreadable, as was heavily QRMed by beacons
on nearby frequencies. (Chiochiu*Pierrefonds-QC / Chiochiu-ULR)
Additionnal comments:
The friend with whom I was at the movie theater was DXing with me for a short
while... He was surprised at how many (at least three) LW signals I was
logging, even though in his country (Congo -> Kinshasa) there are no longwave
broadcasters, only shortwave and ultrashortwave (FM). I'm surprised too to some
extent that it's easier to DX longwave from the Montreal area than from my
native Romania... Down there, I couldn't get a single Arabic station on LW...
Here, I can (at least) get Medi Un, even though they are very poor, but, at
least, they are there... Of course, all the LW signals received here had to
cross the Atlantic to arrive at my radio shack, so they all have a hard-core DX
connotation to them !
That being said, with the current slowly, but steadily increasing solar
activity, I should be on the look out for some promising semi-auroral
conditions during the upcoming weeks with enhanced Pan-American MW / SW
activity and highly disturbed Trans-Atlantic LW / MW / SW activity... Any
chance we will have a stormy November ?
Back to social DXing...the last night I chatted with the ever-friendly
Venezuelan guys for the first time in months !!! I was really astonished at the
Jorge Garc?a's highly impressing World Music culture... He knews SARMALELE RECI
better than I, which is a cult group from my own country (even though I'm
half-French half-Romanian). I sometimes wonder how this Venezuelan guys manages
to DX... Its hard to DX with the computer on and the radio on the next corner !
I will try to comeback to them, as soon as I finish this report and I find some
time for breakfast.
Last, but not least, does anyone remember AVENTURE FM here ? I would like to
listen to some of their shows on tape, CD or MP3... They were run by the French
army between 1987 and 1989 ! The frequencies ?
Paris 105.9
Chamb?ry 105.9
Grenobles 105.8
Lyon 95.7
Reims 90.5
Bordeaux 88.4 (for a couple of days before MaXXimum started)
As a reminder for the MaXXimaniaques, while Aventure FM had a very tiny
audience, MaXXimum was extremely popular within the youngsters who were fans of
Dance Music, but didn't play too many French songs. The French lobby put
pressure upon the CSA (Conseil Sup?rieur de l'Audiovisuel) in order that RTL
who purchassed Aventure from the French army could sell MaXXimum... They sold
MaXXimum to Prisa a Spanish group who put M40 insteead of MaXXimum on 88.4 and
105.9. The other frequencies were already lost... MaXXimum didn't started in
Paris, but in Rh?nes-Alpes, Reims, Bordeaux and Perpignan (where Aventure FM
broadcasted for about a month between September of 1989 and the 23rd of October
of 1989)... That being said, while it is very hard to find unscoped airchecks,
I would exchange any aircheck for an Aventure FM one !
This report is brought to you by Bogdan Alexandru Chiochiu, DXing from
Pierrefonds (Montreal's West Island), QC using the Grundig G5 ultralight along
with the battery-powered PK's Shielded Magnetic longwave loop
May the good DX be with you !

Thank You Proffessor Coro and Bill Harms for the information. I thought that I
was listening to Radio Reloj but not sure and didn't know that it was a relay

** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 1 at 1419: good on 10210, poor on 9000, null on 8400
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [non]. 13670 with news in French at 1402 Nov 1, with severe QRM from
CRI English via Canada on 13675. Strangely, the news in French was all
chinoiserie too: yes, it`s CRI via Albania, 240 degrees to W Africa, ChiComs vs
ChiComs! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also EAST TURKISTAN
** EAST TURKISTAN. 9460 in English, Nov 1 at 1421, sounds like CRI style: yes,
// Canadian relay 15230 but a few sex behind it. 9460 suffers from AIR blobhash
(see INDIA), and also has a wavering het on it. All this QRM serves the jamming
SOBs from China right, and we can only hope it is even more bothersome in their
zone-41 target area, i.e. S Asia, on this 212 degree aim from Urumqi site, now
under control of ChiCom imperialism (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. DCJC jamming against nothing (except innocent victim R.
Tirana), on 6110, Nov 1 at 0000-0100, then jamming level quickly fades
audiblizing Albania for the final semihour of its Albanian broadcast to NAm.
9810, checking for R. Rep?blica vs jamming: Nov 1 at 0030, RR was axually atop
the jamming, less so around 0100, and just jamming heard at 0130. The jamming
was still audible at 0355, so that may mean RR is on too until 0400. See also U
S A for R. Mart?/VOA mixup
RHC 15360 still on at 1502 Nov 1, but just as I intuned, modulation cut, and
open carrier for a bit until off, ditto 15120. Then tuned to 11760 to reconfirm
Esperanto scheduled Sundays only at 1500 --- no, it is still in Spanish, but
1504 cut into Esperanto opening giving usual sked of a semi-dozen transmissions
contrary to the imaginary RHC website sked. By really being on the 11760
transmitter, Esperanto also gets the bonus of 24 spurs, altho none were
announced! These were radiating as usual at earlier 1346 check, in the
11.2-12.3 MHz range, but did not take time to measure them yet again.
At 1505 as expected nothing showing on the listed Al?, Presidente channels
13750 or 12010. Still nothing at 1730 on 17750, 13750, 13680, 12010. Regular
RHC was going on 13760, 11800 distorted, 11760+spurs, 11690, presumably also on
inaudible 6000, 5965 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. OTH radar pulses, presumed from here, Nov 1 at 1343 upon one of its
favorite haunts spanning 16 MHz, i.e. approx. 15990-16015 kHz, where it can do
no harm against broadcasters --- Unlike some stronger pulsing of same type
13637-13662 at 1413, bad for the gospel station on 13645; see U S A [non]. If
still on at 1530-1600 will also degrade R. Tirana 13640 Mon-Sat in English to
NAm (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. AIR Aligarh blob has *not* been fixed, as supposedly promised for the
B-09. A week into season on Nov 1 at 1326 we find its extreme wideband
distortion centered about 9465 and extending 9455-9470, so at least not
bothering Australia today on 9475; but instead CRI on 9460 later; see EAST
TURKISTAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. VOI English missing from both 9524.9 and 9525.9 at 1326 November
1, as occasionally happens. Hope this does not mean they have switched
unpredictably to another of their always-announced frequencies, 11785, since
that has the usual blockage; see LAOS [non]. No VOI heard either during the
1400 hour in Malay (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LAOS [non]. Checking Sunday Nov 1 for Hmong Lao Radio, via WHRI, expected to
be one hour later now to stay at the same Central Time in Hminnesota: 11785
already on at 1333 with gospel music. At 1400, HLR indeed starting, so that
should also apply to Saturdays now: 14-15 Sat & Sun (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 6170, RNZI at 1318 Nov 1, with het presumably from DZRM on
6170.4 which had not been audible for several days. Could not hear any Chlash
from Khabarovsk, so not sure if that is still on 6170, or just too far north to
propagate today (however, Pet/Kam motorboat was audible on 6075 tho underneath
Thailand, BBC Indonesian, during this semihour).
As I tuned in, RNZI had interesting report about how the ``New Methodists``
were favored by the police force, supposedly helping reduce crime rate, at the
expense of the out-of-favor (old) Methodists, thus an unfortunate church/state
problem; trouble is, the island concerned was never mentioned even as the item
wrapped up; Tonga?? It`s one of the Maori-titled shows tho presented in
NZEnglish, and on to next topic, the Marshall Islands parliament (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. In October, Brother Scare was appearing again on
WWCR-2 13845 part-time, after the transition from Pastor Scott at 1400. Now
with standard time the switch is apparently at 1500, as at 1401 Nov 1 I was
still hearing PMS // Anguilla 11775, but at 1507 it was BS on 13845. Need to
monitor WWCR`s announcement just before 1500 to see if the times are still
wrong. But the new Nov 1 WWCR program schedule finally shows B.S. at 1500-1900
daily on #2, all other times Dr Gene Scott (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SPAIN [and non]. I was listening to RHC`s En Contacto DX program on 15360,
Sunday Nov 1 at 1346 as they coincidentally mentioned Antonio Buitrago and
their counterpart on REE, Amigos de la Onda Corta, which reminded me that
Sunday 1330 is the new time for the latter, and immediately found it running on
15170 via CR, a phrase ahead on 17595 direct; and furthermore on 15125 via CR,
too close to bigger signal from RHC again, on 15120! Too bad those two DX
programs now conflict not only in frequency but in time! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. 15650, Nov 1 at 1501 found heavy clash with subaudible het
between Greece and Miraya FM via IRRS Milan via IPAR Slovakia; one of them had
a timesignal 74 seconds late, and I`m sure it wasn`t Greece (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 11710, Nov 1 at 0525 something in African language,
bothered by RHC spur circa 11708 --- fundamental 11760 not very strong at this
hour, but enough to carry with it at least the closer spurs circa 52 kHz away.
0530 VOA sign-off. It`s Hausa via Botswana daily at 0500-0530.
On the first day of standard time, one expects some SNAFUs at VOA, which would
never happen if it operated strictly on the worldwide standard of UT,
regardless of local clock changes.
The morning VOA Spanish service has been running an hour later when W?shington
is off DST, even tho that is irrelevant for Latin Am?rica. So at 1325 Nov 1 I
find that 9885 is still on the air in Spanish, with PSA about US immigration
policy, promos for several programs including `` Las Noticias Como Son`` [is
that a play on words, alluding to singing the news?] --- wait a minute! Those
are Radio Mart? shows, not VOA, and sure enough, this frequency is carrying RM
instead of usual VOA.
The feeds are mixed up, a sure way to encourage even more unjustified jamming
against VOA! However, the DentroCubans had not caught this one yet. Radio Mart?
IDs around 1330 and shortly into their periodismo.com show. At 1332 check, 9885
was // real Mart? frequency 13820. At 1359 the RM QSY announcement ``en algunos
minutos`` barely got out ``11930`` before it was cut off and then to Voice of
America sign-off in English, something which is never supposed to happen on RM
channels.
The letter-by-letter VOA language schedule still shows on Nov 1:
Spanish
1130-1200 UTC 9885 13715 15590
1200-1300 UTC 9885 13715 15590
2300-0000 UTC 5890 5940 9885
So I check the other two morning frequencies which were supposed to quit at
1300: 13715 is also still on, really carrying VOA Spanish, and at 1329 there is
a VOA sign-off announcement in English. But it keeps right on going, ``Music
Country`` with songs in English, presented in Spanish. Both it and // 15590
still going at 1343-1344, presumably really closing at 1400. So does the
morning show really start at 1230 now? We won`t be surprised if the evening
broadcast also shifts to 0000-0100, yanking listeners around who have no use
for DST (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. The past two Saturday nights (early UT Suns) WWCR was caught on 4755
instead of 3215 at various times between 0300 and 0600, but on Nov 1 stayed on
3215 at 0400 for IRN/USA network `news`, and a few other chex until 0600.
WWCR has put up their new frequency schedule as of November 1, and we are
pleased to see that unlike the last few winters, WWCR-1 is switching from 15825
to 7465 at 2100 UT instead of 2200, which means the Friday airing of WORLD OF
RADIO, now one UT hour later at 2130v, will once again be on 7465, with much
better coverage of North America and beyond.
Another novelty is new 3230 at 2300-0200, since WWRB beat them to 3215 at
2100-0200 and WWCR did not want to stay on 7465 past 2300 in the B-season.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. On several chex starting at 0000 UT Nov 1, nothing audible on 9955,
no WRMI, no jamming, and was wondering if they were on, or did the MUF just
drop out? But at 0532, WRMI had fair signal, no jamming audible, in Jeff
White`s filler of eclectic world music. Wire Light (so-called Cheetah Radio)
was supposed to run on the NW antenna at 0200-0400 UT while DST was still in
effect. Perhaps the music fill was just to occupy the extra hour being gained
by clock change, which officially did not happen in the ET zone until 0600 UT,
2 am EDT becoming 1 am EST. Afterwards, R. Praga relay is supposed to occupy
0530-0600 UT daily (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 13645, Nov 1 1412, preacher in American with Boston address,
heavy OTH radar QRM, hymn, prayer, then introducing Pastor Rockwood on the Book
of Ruth. 13645 at 1400-1445 is on the MB/DTK schedule as carrying brokered
shows from Panamerican Broadcasting in Cupertino CA, 85 degrees via Nauen,
GERMANY and doubling power from 125 to 250 kW for whatever follows Sundays only
at 1430 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 17610, Nov 1 at 1449 with HOA music, seemingly secular, and so
repetitive it could be a loop, but is it obviously Adventist if you are Afar?
What does PWBR `2009` say? AWR via Austria to E Africa --- and it is still
correct per B-09 skeds, 1430-1500 daily! 1452 segu? to similar music but
different rhythm and key, 1455 announcement and off before 1459 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** ALBANIA [and non]. R. Tirana monitoring Nov 1 into UT Nov 2: At 2258, just
caught the last few notes of anthem as 7435 was closing daily Albanian
sesquihour to Europe and North America. Very good S9+20 signal, but poor audio
on worn-out (?) recording. Open carrier remained on past 2300.
Next broadcast is 0000-0130 in Albanian to NAm on 7425; and on 6110, which has
been getting jammed by Cuba. At 2355, Tirana`s open carrier already on 6110 and
in the clear, but at 2358 jamming appeared and ramped up steadily to full force
as Tirana started modulating at 0000 Nov 2. But tonight, Albania`s signal is
strong enough to fight the jamming, at least a more than equal mix, if not
overcoming it completely. That`s gratifying, but RT should not have to cope
with any jamming whatsoever on what would otherwise be a free frequency, and as
we found most nights in previous week, the jamming was totally on top.
6110 was quite a bit stronger than // 7425 which also had adjacents squeezing
both sides, Ascension and Sri Lanka and/or Armenia listed. RT was playing music
until abrupt stop at 0028, then a talk feature, apparently a hookup with the
Radio Kosova studio in Pristina for an historical discussion (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BIAFRA [non]. Correxion to my Oct 30-31 report. The Friday date for VOBI via
WHRI 15665 should have been Oct 30, not 29 (gh)
** BRAZIL. 11815, distorted Brazilian music, song sounded like a round, Nov 1
at 2339; good signal and blessedly free of the plus-one RHC spur from 11760
during this hour circa 11812 since that transmitter was on 19m: see CUBA.
Identity of 11815 quickly confirmed as R?dio Brasil Central, Goi?nia, by //
4985 now, which I was already hearing around 2300 as the best SAm signal on
60m, no contest compared to 5045, 4885, tho 5045 is usually best later at night
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake November 1 at 2306: poor with heavy flutter on 10210, just
barely audible on 9000; at 2307 poor on 8400, but not // 10210, so must be the
6-minute displaced playback. Same frequencies we hear just about every morning
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. Observations in the 2253-0039 period Nov 1-2, a time when I
am not monitoring SW every day: At 2253, 17660 with S9+18 signal but distorted
during music from RHC Spanish service, // 13790 synchronized, and an echo apart
from 13760, 11800. The other RHC 16m frequency at this time, 17705 was just as
strong, in French.
While tracking RHC and DCJC, also tried 9810 for R. Rep?blica, but this time
could hear nothing but jamming at several chex Nov 1 at 2302 and during the
following sesquihour, unlike the night before.
RHC`s English hour at 2300 existed Nov 1 on 13790; at 2319 bitching about the
blockade; at 2334 ``Ed Newman`` with mailbag letter from Tom Power in Canada.
``Tom Power`` sounds even more pseudonymous.
Now we know where they put the transmitter with two dozen spurs during the
bihour it is not on 11760: previously heard at 22-23 spurring from 11670 with
Venezuela relay; and at 23-24 it is on 15250, making the 19mb band a mess
instead of 25. At 2320 Nov 1 found RNV with a statement in Spanish about
Honduras, outroed in English. Fundamental is S9+20 but with hum and somewhat
undermodulated.
Analog-tuning across 19m, we heard the same modulation and a whine every 50+
kHz, further out just the whine, same pattern as on 25m. 15250 was a smidgin on
the hi side, but ignoring that, spur minus 1 we put at 15198.9 with plenty of
audio, i.e. 51.1 kHz displacement, so the others are multiples of that,
detectable down eight steps to 14841.2 and nine steps up to 15709.9. Along the
way, more mushy QRM blobs centered on 14994.5 and 15556.6 bothered WWVH which
was IDing on 15000 at 2329 and Radio Australia in English on 15560.
And what became of the other frequency for RNV at 23-24, 13680? No sign of it
any time during the hour. This is the only RNV daily hour which had been
running on two frequencies. But then, the 17 spurs from 15250, potentially 24,
more than compensate for it. I am amazed that apparently no one else has
noticed or reported these, which must have been happening since at least
October 10 when we first found all the spurs surrounding 11760.
At 2340 I went looking for RHC`s Esperanto service, supposedly scheduled during
this semihour on Sundays only. Instead heard uncharacteristically soft choral
music and eventually Spanish announcements in // on 5965, 6120, 9600, 11690.
Nothing audible on 9640, 6000 or any other RHC frequency I could think of.
Contrary to the wacky transmission schedule presented in Spanish, this one
presented in Esperanto shows the frekvencoj for 2330-2400 as
5965, 6120 and 9600:
http://www.radiohc.cu/esperanto/c_frecuencia/frecuencias.htm
Esperanto did make an appearance earlier today at 1504 on 11760.
R. Prague, English on 5930 at 2341 Nov 1, bothered by clix, probably spur from
heavy Cuban jamming on 5890 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) More on
Cuban jamming: see ALBANIA; USA: VOA, WRMI
** EGYPT. R. Cairo, English to WNAm on 7580 with good signal Sunday Nov 1 at
2350, YL concluding ``Life in Egypt`` segment with credits; modulation level
good at the moment but audio muffled on mike, good on music. 2352 next show
``Questions & Answers``, starting with birdwatching, a pastime which is ``in
its infancy`` in Egypt, but a good location on migratory routes between Europe
and Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. Without even trying, confirmed at least one AWR Wavescan time is
unchanged via KSDA, UT Sunday 2230 on 15320. As I bandscanned across the
channel Nov 1 at 2252, there was the JSWC YL`s voice recognizable despite the
flutter and echoes on poor signal here. On the assumption that the same English
broadcasts on Sundays as previously still carry that program, those have been
included in my DX/SWL/Media programs reference with frequencies changed for
B-09 at http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) See also USA: WRMI
** GUINEA. 7125, RTG or Radio Conakry, Nov 1 at 2309 in hilife music, fair
signal with fading, and good modulation. I have not had any luck hearing it
from nominal sign-on 0600; the nominal sign-off is 2400. Brian Alexander had
heard them go off abruptly at 2020* this day, but they certainly came back; a
holdout in the mostly evacuated hamband (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA [and non]. The AIR Aligarh blob which has been infesting the mornings
circa nominal 9470 is also audible in the evenings here. It`s the National
Channel`s all-night service scheduled straight through from 1318 to 0040 UT.
Nov 1 at 2304 there was the mushy blob covering 9460-9470 and mixing with
Spanish preaching at center 9465: YFR via GUIANA FRENCH at 22-24, 500 kW, 215
degrees, tsk2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 11655, RNW in Spanish, announcing frequencies at odd time
of 2336 UT Sunday Nov 1, then mailbag/DX show Cartas Arroba RN with Jaime
B?guena. Fair signal but QRM under sounded like Spe-cial Eng-lish. Guess what:
both of these are IBB signals, so they should know about each other: RN via
Greenville, 250 kW, 160 degrees at 2300-2357; and VOA via Thailand, 250 kW, 30
degrees USward at 2330-2400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** POLAND [non]. 11675, via AUSTRIA, Nov 1 at 1336 Slawek Szefs giving an ID as
``Polish Radio Warsaw`` so I guess that is still kosher, if not official; or
should it be with a comma, ``Polish Radio, Warsaw``? Anyhow, next ID I heard
from someone else at 1353 more conventionally said ``Polish Radio External
Service``. Ditto, comma question. Just don`t call them ``Radio Polonia``! This
is harder for Spanish speakers to avoid, since Polonia is the name of the
country in that language. Look for and please confirm their Multimedia show
which should now appear Thursdays around 1323-1345, also on // 11860 eastward
from UK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PRIDNESTROVYE. Radio PMR is on winter frequency of 6240, where I expected it
to be since that`s the site for Voice of Russia to NAm after 2300 on same,
ex-9665 in A-09. Nov 1 at 2311 intermittent tones in typical Russian site
tune-up style, 2315 ``This is Tir?spol``, actually pronounced Radio DMR this
time, and into usual stilted propaganda in English. At 2354 tuneby even more
stilted in German, and presumably in stilted French betwixt. This 2315-2400
service is M-F in local terms, i.e. UT Sunday-Thursday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. From what happened in the morning of Nov 1, VOA Spanish appearing
contrary to its own initial B-09 schedule, I was expecting more contradixions
in the evening, and was not to be disappointed.
It had been at 2300-2400 UT on 9885, 5940 and 5890. At 2255, there was an open
carrier on 9885, but off at 2257.
At 2300, 5890 had no trace of VOA, just DentroCuban jamming, which still
expected VOA to be there. No VOA or jamming on the third frequency, 5940. 9885
remained unoccupied. Obviously the Spanish hour was not going to show up
between 23 and 24 as it had through October.
So I start looking again before 2400. At 2355, 5890 is still heavily jammed,
but the open carrier is back on 9885. At 0000 Nov 2, instead of VOA Spanish
programming we get fill music in // on those two, still nothing on 5940. The
jamming level on 5890 is decreasing, or at least the VOA non-programming is
achieving an S/N advantage at the outset.
Final check at 0037 found no signal on 5890, so Greenville apparently concluded
by then that they were wasting watts with fill music. Perhaps from Monday there
will axually be some Spanish programming, if W?shington and Greenville can get
co?rdinated.
Meanwhile, Dragan Lekic in Serbia found an updated VOA Spanish schedule,
effective Nov 1, all Greenville, with azimuths, confirming the one-hour-later
timeshifts for convenience only of Washingtonians:
SPANISH
0000-0100 5890/174 9885/183
1230-1300 9885/205 13715/176 15590/164 [MO-FR]
1300-1400 9885/205 13715/176 15590/164
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Not only was AWR Wavescan on KSDA [see GUAM] but at the same time on
originating station WRMI, Sunday Nov 1 at 2256, altho I can`t be sure it was
the same edition, wrapup giving P-address in Indianapolis, voice sounded like
Allen Graham, but this was no DX Partyline(?). Fair signal on 9955, no jamming.
Next check a few minutes later at 2300, nothing but jamming and no WRMI
audible. For once the DentroCuban Jamming Command is co?rdinated on when to
start jamming as the 2300 program is Voz de la Coordinadora. WRMI has a few
other exile programs until 0300 UT Monday, but mostly not and partly in
English. Are they all getting jammed, anyway? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. WBCQ is making numerous programming changes this week on 7415,
basically to clear everything off the Saturday schedule except two hours of
Brother Scare, UT Sundays. Among the moveouts is Marion`s Attic, which had been
at 2100 UT Saturdays, but we heard the Oct 31 edition announce that it is
moving to 5 pm EST Sundays in November. We thought this might mean already Nov
1, but no, as Allan Weiner Worldwide was still occupying the 22-23 UT hour as
heard upwrapping at 2258. Signal getting fluttery already, after dark in
Monticello.
Shortly afterward, Area 51 on 5110v was more solid with an oldtime radio SF
drama at 2313. Per this week`s sked at http://www.worldmicroscope.com/?p=1423
it was X Minus One from 8/11/1955, ``Almost Human`` episode. It seems that Area
51 now starts at 2300 on Sat & Sun, 0100 UT Tue-Sat, commencing on UT Fridays
with WORLD OF RADIO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WWCR-1 confirmed on new 3230, from *2300 Nov 1, quick
change from 7465 which announced the QSY a minute before. It seems we aren`t
hearing much steel drumming any more for the transitions. VG signal on both,
while WWRB is already on 3215, the WWCR frequency it previously usurped, but
WWCR still gets to use that after 0200.
WWCR on 3230 may be bad news for Radio El Sol de los Andes, Juliaca, Per?,
still listed in Aoki, and in WRTH 2009 as irregular with 1 kW. But I haven`t
seen any reports of it for ages. WRTH gives callsign as OBX72, which can`t be
correct as the last character is always a letter, probably should be Z. It
doesn`t even appear in the archive of http://www.mcdxt.it/LASWLOGS.html tho a
3230v Brazilian does, from over five years ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. NMN, USCG Chesapeake VA, heard in SSB // on 12778 and 13089 at 2331
Nov 1 with robot feigning human male voice in frequency announcement already in
progress, about a change in schedule I wish I could have copied from the
outset. Mentioned other NM- callsigns. 13089, heard first, was quite distorted,
and I wondered if it were a spur. Halfway between the two would be 12933.5, but
did not check that in time before they went off with `end` (English for
``final``) at 2333 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. See CUBA for RNV on 15250 plus spurs, not 13680
UNIDENTIFIED. 6940.2, must be a pirate, seems like on AM, Nov 1 at 2344 with an
old song from the 20s or 30s; by next check at 2348 it had faded to JBA, as I
checked the sidebands and found upper and lower about equal along with what was
left of the carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

PLEASE NOTE below the CORRECT special email address for

Apparently, uppercase letters will not work.
