Bolivia, 3309.95, Radio Mosoj Chaski, 1010-1020, Not much of a signal
here,
but at tune in heard a male commenting in Spanish untol 1013 when music
presented.
Signal is very weak. (Chuck Bolland, December 6, 2009)
Russia, 6075, Radio Rossii, 1040-1100, At tune-in noted two females in
Russian

2009)
Peru, 4746.90, Radio Huanta Dos Mil, 1043-1100, In here with a female in

occurs as the minutes pass. Comments continue the entire period. (Chuck
Bolland, December 6, 2009)
Indonesia, 4749.90, RRI Makassar, 1048-1105, With a male in Indonesian
comments until 1053 when music is presented which continues off and on

from a female. The signal is getting weaker at 1103. (Chuck Bolland,

RUSSIA 5800 WRN premierleague.com on Sat Dec 5th was much, much stronger,
and on excellent level to follow the ball by ball commenatry - of S=9+30 to
40 dB here in Stuttgart.
Both adjacent channels were totally free of interference.
5800 Today Sun Dec 6th at 1650 UT only weak to fair at S=6-7 level.

** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 6 at 1438: 10210 poor with heavy flutter; 9000 JBA;
8400 inaudible; 11300 very poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC philately show in English, UT Sunday Dec 6 at 0609 on 6060, 6010;
and much weaker 6140 instead of Spanish. UT Sunday Dec 6 at 0708, the weekly
RHC Esperanto service in progress, on 6060 only.
WTFK? The RHC Esperanto website
http://www.radiohc.cu/esperanto/c_frecuencia/frecuencias.htm
claims this broadcast is on 6000; the Spanish version
http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/c_frecuencia/frecuencias.htm
omits this transmission completely (it is quite out of date/wrong otherwise
too); and the supposedly more correct B-09 schedule e-mailed out and appearing
in DXLD 9-081 shows 6010!
Was talking about the Alexander Humboldt Park, where? Chicago, says Google, tho
city not heard mentioned. Then on to the Universal Esperanto Congress, which
will be in Havano next July 17-24, as also publicized here:
http://www.radiohc.cu/esperanto/congreso/ub_havano2010.pdf
Natch, RHC will be the official radio station for it.
This prompted a cute original song by a guy accompanied on guitar, enumerating
the 94(?) cities of the world previously hosting such a congress, including
Reykjavik, Kathmandu, Tashkent and Toulouse! With SFX such as Vatican bells.
I retuned to the 1500 repeat on 11760 at about the point I had outtuned eight
hours earlier, for more of the song. See also VENEZUELA [non] (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. 11930, R. Mart?, Sunday Dec 6 somewhat atop DentroCuban jamming
roar, about the Trio Los Panchos, so a repeat of same program 24 hours earlier
on Sat morning. Mentioned 6 or 7 names of people who integrated the trio over
its career.
Then onto segment incredibly crediting the Instituto Cubano de Radio y
Televisi?n (ICRT), which is the post-revolution government agency, for clips to
follow, originally on CMQ in 1949-1950 of an oldtime comedy show starring
Cascarita, a.k.a. Orlando Guerra; Google that for lots more re.
1502 had switched to Resumen Semanal about racism and discrimination in Cuba
against blacks and mulattos even today. Someone has been imprisoned since last
July for protesting about this. Now there`s something you will never hear about
on RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GABON. 9580, Africa Num?ro Un, good signal, better than usual, with hilife
music Dec 6 at 0651; 0653 ID, ``de Libreville et de Moyabi, au Gabon``. You`d
think CVC Zambia on 9430 would also be well-heard, but not tonight; normally
it`s better than ANU.
0700, a four-pip timesignal ending two seconds late, compared to WWV! And into
brief news in French, soon another ID. Why in the world run a timesignal if you
are that far off? A simple announcement of the time should be enough, without a
signal implying far more accuracy than in reality (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9420, VOG, Dec 6 at 0605 going from news to antiphonal chanting,
alternating one monk(?) with a group in response. Heartfelt, but not exactly
professional singers. Quite good signal here, better than usual, and not so
strong on // 7475. Same at 0650 check, and even at 0707. Is Sunday morning
Greek Orthodox service. From John Babbis` translation of the current schedule,
it lasts almost 2.25 hours:
7475* 9420 KHz Only
0600-0700 Divine Liturgy (Connect. With NET 105.8)
9420 15630 KHz Only
0700-0815 Divine Liturgy (Connect. With NET 105.8)
*Transmission ends 10 min. earlier
And indeed, 7475 no longer heard at 0704 check, but 9420 still in well (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 9730 at 1430 Dec 6, ``Govorit Tegeran, Golos Islamikiy Respublikiy
Irana`` [pardon my declension guesses], VIRI opening Russian hour, good but
fluttery and unusually better than BBC Singapore 9740; anthem, 1431 Qur`an
mercifully brief, 1432 already back to Russian announcement. At 1434 came
across // 9575, but on the latter, undermodulated and distorted.
9730 is 250 kW, 26 degrees from Ahwaz site, while 9575 is 500 kW, 330 degrees
from Sirjan site, the latter closer to USward, but inferior here (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 11705, NHKWNRJ, VG via Canada, Sunday Dec 6 at 1415-1429 with
monthly on first Sunday World of Haiku feature, which I always enjoy hearing;
it`s a subprogram within World Interactive. And it`s so nice not to have to
worry about the pre-echo as this season the // from Yamata direct is on 5955
instead of 11705 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. Propagation favored eastward rather than westward paths on
31m Dec 6 at 0645. On 9840 just Russian from R. Rossii, Moscow-area site rather
than VOR English co-channel from DVR site; and nothing audible from Vladivostok
on 9855 either. Was also hearing CW time pips on 9996, no doubt RWM Moscow as
previously around this hour.
DRM noise 9670-9675-9680, Dec 6 at 1434. Listed as VOR via Moskva site, 100 kW,
260 degrees at 14-18. Obscuring what little signal from Indonesia may be there
on 9680 as 9525.9 was JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. Blessed relief from WWRB, running open carrier again
instead of scheduled Brother Scare, Dec 6 at 0637 on 3185. But is anyone paying
attention in Walterboro or Manchester? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TUNISIA [and non]. 7335 with big collision between RTT and Vatican Radio,
Dec 6 at 0607, Arabic atop some Scandinavian language, with RTT // 7275 and VR
// 6185, buried there both by Brasil and M?xico. Vatican runs until 0620 (also
colliding with even stronger VOR via GUF until 0600), while Sfax is registered
not starting 7335 until 0700, but we know it is on much earlier. This needs to
be resolved as Vatican and Tunisia are not that far apart, causing mutual
interference all over. And to think, a recent HFCC even took place in Tunis! I
wonder if they were confused about timezones in claiming to be on from 0700
instead of 0600? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Re my report of WHW283 on 6224, Dec 2: I should have said the
difference between the listed frequency and the SSB reference frequency [i.e.
where the carrier is inserted] is the typical 1400 Hz, not 1140 Hz as
miscalculated; corrected portion:
The 6.22540 MHz listing apparently relates to a reference frequency 1400 Hz
below it which is the way to report SSB logs, 6224.0 kHz and could also be on
6227.0. Oops, grant expired 5.8 years ago! Outdated info on this page? Looks
like a daily 9 am CT net (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. While on weekdays, WINB takes a break 14-16 UT between two airings of
convicted and sentenced child sex offending evangelist Tony Alamo, on Sunday
9265 still on the air past 1400 Dec 6 with some other preacher; next check at
1514, 13570 already on the air with another preacher. But the transmitter is
upacting now, carrier more unstable than usual and also outputting spurs worst
at modulation peaks circa 13530-13550 and 13500-13520, interfering with more
and more CODAR; also audible around 13600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, WRMI amid WORLD OF RADIO 1489, Sunday Dec 6 at 1630, just
barely audible, and with SAH either from residual DentroCuban jamming or more
likely YFR Russian via TAIWAN. I conclude that WRMI is still unable to use its
NW-aimed antenna which could overcome all this, and must stay on the SSE
antenna instead. Daily at 15-17 it`s supposed to be USward (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 11805, Dec 6 at 1446 with slow songs, good signal; trying to
decide if they are Turkish or Persian; let`s split the difference with Kurdish,
for it is the VOA Kurdish service via Biblis, GERMANY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. Al?, Presidente check, Sunday Dec 6 via CUBA: at 1520,
nothing showing on 13750 or any of the other frequencies. But at 1623, 13750
was on with Hugo pontificating; at 1627 also much weaker signal on 12010 and
even weaker but detectable on 11690. Seemed to be carriers on 13680 and 17750
but could not confirm them as A,P (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** CHINA [and non]. 7105, intruder in the exclusive worldwide 40m hamband, Dec
6 at 2216 with alternating YL in Chinese, OM maybe Chinese but sounded like a
different language. Per Aoki this is a 100 kW Sound of Hope frequency from
Taiwan during this hour only, but always jammed and more likely to have been
hearing CNR1 instead. Only other broadcaster audible 7100-7200 was Guinea on
7125, in French at 2217 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. En Contacto, the DX program of RHC, Sunday Dec 6 at 2152 on 13790 with
mailbag for rest of show until finished at 2157 so must have started at 2142.
When 13790 went into brief fades, long-path echo could be heard, some 38
Megameters away.
Checked all the other frequencies and found the other kind of echo, between
transmitters not precisely synchronized because they are from the two different
sites and/or with different feed routing. Synchro with 13790 were 6110 and
11770. An echo apart from those but synchro with each other: 13770, 11800,
11730, 9660. Meanwhile, 11760 was in separate musical programming (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GABON. 9580, Africa Num?ro Un, Dec 6 at 2203 in French news of Somalia, VG
signal. I also had them well at 0700 as in previous report. I am beginning to
wonder if during the last several months they had been running reduced power
and have just recently resumed full power, 500 kW per WRTH. We are also still
waiting for them to reactivate a second transmitter (WRTH shows three), and
bring back daytime frequencies 17630, 15475. BTW, there are no Gabon
registrations in HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. AIR GOS, 7550 // 9445, good signals roughly equal but with polar
flutter, Dec 6 at 2157 with what I can only describe as lite music, not Indian,
such as Girl from Ipanema at 2159, which had to be cut off at 2200 for ID and
news. Could also // them to much weaker 6180. More lite music until all signed
off at 2230 after listing frequencies to AuNZ at 1000 and one other target
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 11560, VOA news in English about Thailand, Dec 6 at 2212, fair
with flutter. At 2301 had improved to VG signal but `hollow` sound indicating
multipath reverb rather than long/short path which makes more pronounced echo.
This is on that 21 degree antenna from Tinang, i.e. along the north coast of
Alaska, across Canada thru Sioux Lookout, SW Ontario, Michigan, South Carolina
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAIPAN. 12090, Vietnamese songs at 2254 Dec 6, fair signal aside BBC 12095.
At 2258 switched to Christian hymn in English, ``All Hail the Power of Jesus`
Name . . . And Crown Him, Crown Him, Loo`oord of All``, making me suspect it
was a gospel huxter; brief Vietnamese announcement and convenient English ID
for KFBS, Saipan, off at 2300* sharp. EiBi, Aoki and HFCC all agree that the
only occupant of 12090 at any time is KFBS at 2230-2300, 278 degrees, so there
are 23.5 hours available for some other station needing to escape from
interference (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WINB, 13570, which was outputting spurs the morning of Dec 6, still
doing so the afternoon at 2150, peaking as before around 13510, 13540 and
13600. Must have switched to 9265 at 2200, since there it was at 2214 but with
no spurs and slightly better modulation on this fundamental (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. Tried to listen to Marion`s Attic on WBCQ, 7415, Sunday Dec 6, from
2218 tune-in. Fair at first but before the hour was over became unlistenable.
DentroCuban Jamming Command against Radio Mart? on 7405 was putting out regular
noise pulses at plus and minus 10 kHz, as happens very frequently, due to at
least one of their multiple jamming transmitters suffering from spurious
output.
No, these were not scratches on Marion`s records, which also can occur at a
steady repetitive rate! There was also a subaudible heterodyne indicating
co-channel broadcast interference. By 2237 WBCQ was losing out to the DCJC
noise, and by 2242 the CCI in Chinese had reached WBCQ`s level and soon
surpassed it as WBCQ was also fading down. At 2245 there was also a brief
continuous tone, and then a few dots and dashes, after which I gave up.
The co-channel interference is sadly to be expected, since someone at HFCC
signed off, agreeing for BBC in Mandarin via Thailand to use 7415 during this
hour, necessarily requiring ChiCom jamming, which is probably what I was
hearing with the CNR1 program, rather than BBC itself. (And during the hours
preceding and following, CRI itself is on 7415!)
The adjacent channel interference from Cuban jamming is also to be expected, as
any station is just asking for it by operating only 10 kHz away from any Radio
Mart? or other service jammed by Cuba (VOA, Radio Rep?blica, WRMI). This could
be solved by one or the other moving away, but I doubt that either would be
willing to relinquish a longtime familiar and traditional channel. So everybody
loses (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
