? Saludos a todos queridos colegas !
Ah?ra, estoy en la sinton?a de Medi Un en los 171 kHz onda larga... Estoy
sorprendido de un se?al bastante poderoso con buena modulaci?n, pues durante
las ?ltimas semanas solamente encontraba ruido en esa frecuencia con algo casi
incomprehensible... Despues de un gigante bulet?n de noticias en ?rabo, siguio
un peque?o bulet?n de noticias en franc?s con h?ra local de 6 de la ma?ana con
37 minutos... ? Estupendo ! Yo env?o eso igualmente sobre CumbreDX porqu?
transmite tambi?n en onda corta en 9575 kHz y se trata de una escucha bastante
dif?cil... Es m?s f?cil de sintonizar Maruego-9575 durante la tarde a?n en
aquellos momentos hay salpicadura desde Gabon-9580 (Africa Num?ro Un).
Right now, I just heard Radio M?diterran?e Internationale booming in with a
good signal and good modulation (a few weeks ago they were barely in there with
a fair signal but POOR modulation) and I'm happy... After a lengthy Arabic
newscast, a r?sum? in French of the leading news stories followed by a local
0637 AM time check ! Great ! I'm sending this stuff to CumbreDX too, because
Medi Un simulcast it's longwave outlet on 9575 kHz shortwave where it is quite
a catche even during the mid-afternoons time slot with Africa Num?ro Un in
Gabon next door on 9580 !
May the good DX be with you !

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
** 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 Gon?alves 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 Mart? 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) ###

** BRAZIL. Checking for more possible WWCR tests, on 4755 Nov 24 at 0037 heard
instead weak signal in Brazilian Portuguese, M&W mentioning ``bendita``
(blessed), etc. This is surely R. Imaculada Concei??o, Campo Grande, Mato
Grosso do Sul, which per Aoki is 10 kW non-direxional. WWCR is certainly
capable of totally overriding it in NAm, but also with 100 kW also capable of
damaging RIC within Brasil over a night-path (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. 9620, RHC mix of two Spanish programs weakly at 2209 Nov 23, a
leapfrog of main RHC 9660 over Mesa Redonda 9640. Why am I not surprised? BTW,
9660 is one of several RHC channels with degraded narrowband rough modulation.
Is this caused by the program feed circuit, or the transmitters? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Wouldn`t you know it, I spoke too soon about KGYN 1210 Guymon
being back to normal with daytime groundwave signal reaching as far as Enid, as
heard Nov 22. 24 hours later, Nov 23, also monitoring on caradio in western
Enid, at several chex around 1945-2115 UT, nothing heard at all. Except a very
weak SAH from who knows what marginal signals. KGYN could have been off the
air. Something is certainly going on there with its transmission problems
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1120, KEOR, Nov 23, several chex 1945-2045 UT, back to playing
album cuts, sometimes with long pauses, old jazz songs, Billie Holliday? No
more DJ or highly-produced 1340 simulcast. By 2115 KMOX was dominating
frequency altho KEOR carrier still seemed to be there. What`s next? (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 9915, BBCWS in English, Nov 23 at 2151, interview featuring
Indian accents first brought to mind AIR GOS, but not on 9915, which also had
tell-tale ``generator whine/hum`` which inflicts various Ascension relay
frequencies, which this is at 21-23. BBCWS also uses 9915 at various times
between 04 and 21 but in Arabic, via Cyprus, Rampisham, or even Austria (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9980, WWCR-4, PPP service off the air Nov 23 at 2149 and further chex
next dekaminute. Nor on nite frequency 5890. Nor on recently tested frequencies
4775, 4755, 3240. Other transmitters heard normally on 7465, 12160, 13845.
Possibly #4 was testing some completely different channel as I did not scan the
entire SWBC spectrum, but not on 31m. Also checked WWCR frequencies at 2355 and
found 3240 running, no testing on 4 MHz band now, leaving TADIL-A bonker in the
clear on 4775.
In case WWCR-4 would also be missing from nighttime channel 5890, checked that
around 0235 Nov 24, but it was back on, so never mind looking for R. Peace,
Sudan on 5895 if it is really active at 0300-0400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. VOA Greenville, 13725, 2159 Nov 23 with YDD sign-on, bit of unrelated
music at 2200, bad switching, and opening in Creole. Bandscanning upwards, I
came to // 15390 at 2205 but it was open carrier. Then Creole audio cut on,
off, back on but at very low level, they turned up level. Don`t know if it was
all silence until 2205, but such things have happened at IBB. After a
transmission starts is not the time to mess around with the modulation input or
output (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9465-9555 rapid pulsing, with several peaks in this range atop
any broadcast signals, not the same sound as from OTH radar Cyprus or China
previously reported on numerous other ranges, Nov 23 at 2152, still going at
2210 when some broadcast signals could be heard thru it.
Possibly spurious from DRM transmitter on 9450? Also running at 2152 i.e. the
HCJB/IBB Greenville test, which has been absent from the DRMDX schedule, and
still is. However, the sound is quite different from the 10-kHz intentional DRM
spread. These wideband DRM channels can be confusing to downpin on analog
receivers: on the YB-400 stepping up and down 5 kHz, I would have been sure it
was centered on 9455. But on the FRG-7 it was 9450.
Or something completely different? Since yahoo group searching doesn`t funxion,
I looked thru the last month+ of reports on the DRM NA yg and the latest
mention of HCJB/IBB 9450 was on Oct 13:
``The current test release to NA is airing from 1600 to 2000 UT on 9450. This
has done much better in the Midwest than the evening release did. I've been
able to push the bit rate up the maximum in mode B and still get virtually 100
audio decode. I can switch to stereo or parametric stereo but since the source
at Greenville is mono it won't gain us anything. We will be testing on Mode A
later this week. Charlie Jacobson`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX ISTENING DIGEST) ###

Sao Tome, 4960, Voice of America, 0418-0430, A number of persons in
English language comments and news about the Africa and the World.
Signal was fair with some fading. (Chuck Bolland, November 24, 2009)
Swaziland, 4775, Trans World Radio,(tent) 0425-0430 Noted a very weak
signal
here with music. Could barely hear the music with all of the noise and
such, so
not actually claiming this is TWR, just a guess. After the half hour,
believe I
heard a male talking. (Chuck Bolland, November 24, 2009)
United States, 3215, WWCR, 0436-0500 Heard a male talking with a female
via the telephone about finance and other news worthy topics. Signal was
good. (Chuck Bolland, November 24, 2009)
Costa Rica, 3350, Radio Exterior Espana, 0442-0500, Two males discussing
politics
in the Spanish language. This is a telephone interview between them. One
of the males
sounds very passionate about the subject which is beyond my comprehension of
Spanish.
Signal was good. (Chuck Bolland, November 24, 2009)
Croatia(HRV), 3985,(tent) La Voz Croacia, 0453-0500, Noted steady music
during the
period. According to AOKI, Spanish is scheduled for this half hour, but
didn't hear
any while music was being broadcast. This is another one of those "I just
don't know"
loggings that I have a habit of listing. On the hour heard a male briefly
followed by 5
time tones. Then more comments from a female. I can't ID the language
although it
sounds like a Latin Root base language, i.e. Spanisn, Italian, Greek etc.
Signal was
poor. (Chuck Bolland, November 24, 2009)
