** ALBANIA. R. Tirana, Nov 23 at 1531 on 13640, fair signal, opening English
with updated transmission schedule including new 7430 at 2100, 6130 at 0130,
0245 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 23 at 1405 cutting back on after open carrier hourtop
monitoring pause: about equal fair levels for a change on 10210, 9000, 8400
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 15250-15275, OTH radar pulses, presumed from here, Nov 23 at 1425.
No broadcasters bothered except at the very edges, well-selected segment? But
should not be in the SWBC band at all! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** HAWAII. 10320-USB, AFN has been missing for about a week now, at various
chex, such as Nov 23 at 1406. Hope it`s not gone for good as 6350 appears to be
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. Checking for AIR Aligarh blob Nov 23 at 1340: not found. A weak
signal on 9470 but could not make it // 9425. At 1350, 9470 had Russian tune-up
tones atop anything else. At 1404 I could barely make some normally modulated
music on 9470 // but not synchronized with 9425, which is the nominal
situation. Both poor, with adjacent QRM stronger (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 4750, RRI Makassar, presumed, Nov 23 at 1429 YL talk in
Indonesian over slight SAH, China? Then long period of mostly slow romantic
music, still 1440; 1454 weaker but still audible with YL announcements. The
other station on 4750, Bangladesh, is reported to close around 1400; it might
make it here if and when RRI be missing, but still has to contend with China.
Then I tuned to 9680 for RRI Jakarta, much better signal at 1459 with
Indonesian music continuing past hourtop and 1506.
VOI is still on 9525.9 for 1300 English, 1400 Malay, but weaker or softer than
neighbors on 9520, 9530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, V. of Mesopotamia, Nov 23 at 1410, good but with
flutter, so enjoyed the Kurdish music, and they do play a lot of it. Via
UKRAINE. I wonder if the source of this is common knowledge in Kurdistan?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Since my last observation Oct 16 as in DXLD 9-077 that KGYN Guymon
was very weak to inaudible in the daytime here in Enid, contrary to usual
adequate groundwave signal on non-direxional 10 kW pattern, I have continued to
check 1210, mainly on the caradio when aroundriving, especially in western
Enid, and it had remained the same.
But Nov 22 at 2045 UT it was back to its old self, with country music and 2053
ID as ``serving five states … US Country, KGYN 1210``. So I am even more
convinced that in the interim they had been stuck on the direxional night
pattern westward, null eastward, even in the daytime, and/or at much reduced
power. Signal quite steady and I don`t think skywave had kicked in yet, nor on
other frequencies north/eastward, tho it would also have been weaker that way
while direxional-daytime.
BTW, from the middle of No Man`s Land, it would be hard *not* to serve five
states (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 11785, BSKSA buzzer stronger than usual Nov 23 at 1407 over
anything else; remained audible, weaker at 1529. Still not heard on 21505
before 1500 but not sure if gone or due to propagation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SLOVAKIA. Tnx to tip from Ivanildo Gonçalves Dantas, Brasil in dxclubepr yg,
RSI heard on new 6040, fair signal UT Nov 23 at 0123 check in mailbag with
Slavic accent, and references to RSI, finished at 0126, then into IS and IDs
but no frequency announcement heard.
Already scheduled on 6040 is RCI in English via Skelton at 0100-0200, but could
not hear RCI underneath here; they may be colliding in Europe and eastward. RSI
started the B-09 season on 7230, where I had heard it. Have RSI finally got
religion and evacuated from the 40m Region 2 hamband, or is this just for
better propagation? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WWCR back on 3240, Nov 22 at 2345 check, while 24 hours earlier they
were testing transmitter-1 on 4775. Have not tried to outfigure it, but test
hours are probably during unsold time, or at least with the approval or even
urging of certain clients (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 6074, no trace of 8GAL at 1400-1402 check Nov 23;
instead noted the motorboating Pet/Kam transmitter on 6075 concluding with
timesignal which was about 2 seconds offset from the China/Taiwan radio war
timesignal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15382, the center of some rapid clicking bothering Spain 15385,
Nov 23 at 1537. I think this is spur from DentroCuban Jamming Command against
Radio Martí on 15330, same 52-kHz displacement as heard around 6082 when
jamming 6030 at night. But neither has a match on the lo side (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
