Peru, 6019.30, Radio Victoria, 1043-1100 Noted a male in Spanish language
comments
which turned out to be the regular Religious discourse. Signal was fair in
strength with a lot of splatter
causing problems hearing the man. (Chuck Bolland, December 21, 2009)
Peru, 6173.83, Radio Tawantinsuyo, 1110-1115 With a barely audible signal,
noted a male
in Spanish language comments. This is a very tenuous signal underneath the
noise and splatter.
As mentioned the signal was barely audible which would make this worse than
threshold.
(Chuck Bolland, December 21, 2009)
China, 6175.00, China National Radio, 1115-1125, Noted a male and female in
Mandarin
language comments together. Signal was poor. (Chuck Bolland, December 21,
2009)
Korea North, 6285, Voice of Korea, 1125-1135, First noted a male in French
language
comments until 1127 and then a female talks for a few minutes. Signal was
poor.
(Chuck Bolland, December 21, 2009)
China, 4820, People's Broadcasting Station, 1132-1145, Noted a male in
Mandarin
for a minute. He is followed by a female also speaking in Mandarin
(listed). Between
segments bridge music is heard. According to AOKI and EIBI this signal is
being
relayed via Lhasa, Tibet. Signal was poor. (Chuck Bolland, December 21,
2009)
India, 4895.85, AIR, Kuresong or Kolkata, 1138-1155, Caught some chatter at
tune in that seemed
to be in Hindi but only for a moment, then typical music. Signal was fair
to poor. Everyone says Kuresong
except AOKI which says Kolkata. (Chuck Bolland, December 21, 2009)

** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 21 at 1440: fair on 8400, nothing audible on 9000,
10210 or 11300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. DentroCuban Jamming Command against WRMI, 9955: Dec 21 at
0658 some WRMI music mixed with roaring, whines, rather than bubbles, but WRMI
losing out. Before 1500 the usual wall of noise, no WRMI audible, but at 1504
jamming abated to pulsing; WRMI still stuck on SSE antenna, too weak to read R.
Prague during Sunday mailbag segment.
UT Monday Dec 21 RHC observations: at 0706, 6010 still on the air with English.
Normally closes circa 0700, and now there is QRMexico --- way to go, XEOI! RHC
English was much stronger and louder on 6060, and much weaker and softer on
6140. As I was listening to 6140 at 0708 it abruptly converted to Spanish,
becoming // 6120 and 6150; and 6010 English still on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA [and non]. VOI was missing on Sunday Dec 20, but it`s back Monday
Dec 21 on 9525.95 approx., at 1444 with soft song, Malay announcement; by 1500
the CRI/Kashgar het bothered from 9525.0 until VOI cut off the air for a few
sex; 1501 VOI ID in English, ``sound of dignity`` restarting English but off
for good at 1502* uncovering CRI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. 17725, Voice of Africa at 1529 Dec 21 in English with long list of
ambassadors from various African countries, // much weaker 21695 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6104.8, XEQM, Dec 21 at 0704 with live DJ offering felicidades,
fading in and out but no significant QRM. This is a good hour for hearing this
weak station, as previously accomplished several times here (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also CUBA [and non]
** SPAIN. 15385, REE Emisi?n Sefarad, Monday Dec 21 at 1450 with lovely music.
But I knew something was wrong since at 1453 the YL announcer started a new
segment ``Espa?a Hoy`` when it was time to wrap. The semihour recording
playback must have started well after 1425, and the transmitter site was not
about to compensate for that, cutting to open carrier at 1455 and off at 1456*.
At least this saved her from another embarrassing reiteration of the wrong
frequency 15325 she gives in the schedule at sign-off. 15385 back on with REE
IS from *1456:30, weaker after antenna change for next transmission in
Castilian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9370, WTJC, still putting out noisy spiky spurs above and below,
centered approximately 9395 and 9345 but bothering plus and minus five from
those, Dec 22 at 0657 during music. Why do I keep reporting these? Because FBN
keeps transmitting them, which they have no business doing (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15550-USB, checking for WJHR, nothing audible around 1500 Dec 21, but
at 1520 check, F&B preacher fading in weakly and out (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Tho it was way too late for them to be on if reactivated, 0714 UT Dec
21, I checked 4052.5 anyway for R. Verdad, Guatemala, and instead heard a weak
US station on 4050, axually slightly on the lo side toward 4049.9. YL
announcer, then to long adstring including for computers, 1-800-971-1857;
fading in and out. More ads with 800 numbers, no help in local IDing; 0717 call
800-584-1018. 0719 some C&W music; 0726 YL mentioning ugly holiday sweater
parties (the latest fad), then OM partial ID as ``1350 KWM-`` and more C&W.
With BFO on I could detect QRM from a two-letter HIFER beacon at 0718, sounded
like WP but very weak and tough copy despite the repetitions, not sure about
the W. Or maybe it was just P. Don`t find any listed with that call or any
around 4050, tho I thought there were in the past.
The broadcaster is KWMO, Washington MO, a bit west of St. Louis, third harmonic
reported by others previously. I`ve often tuned around 4052.5 checking for
Truth, and this is the first time lately I`ve heard KWMO.
NRC AM Log shows it 500 watts day, 84 watts night. It was also still audible
weakly well after sunrise thru daylight at 1432. I suspect that when heard on
4050, it is on day power, which explains why it is not always audible at night.
It will be a QRM problem for TGAV.
FCC shows the day pattern (on 1350) with a big lobe toward the SW, OKward, a
minor one to the NE, and nulls to the NW and E, meaning it doesn`t really get
into the big city, right?
http://www.fcc.gov/ftp/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/82512-19629.pdf
The night pattern is really the same, tho separately shown:
http://www.fcc.gov/ftp/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/82512-19630.pdf
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1610, the only `open` MW channel in the USA, often has an annoyingly
high noise level. This is partly due to the lack of any strong signals to
muscle aside splash from 1600 and 1620, as well as whatever local noise sources
may be radiating. Forget Anguilla, Mexico, or Canada. At 0733 Dec 21, I decided
it was IBOC noise since that was also audible on 1590 despite the pileup of AM
signals there. And what was on 1600? Black gospel music, no doubt the
dominatrix KATZ St Louis, which runs 5 kW day and night. And yes, NRC AM Log
2009 does show it running IBOC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6002 approx., as I was checking out the latest RHC anomalies,
noticed some CW being sent circa here, Dec 21 at 0710; very weak, a real
message, not a marker, ending in K, an intruder resuming a few sex later (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11700 with continuous tone test slightly more than 1000 Hz, Dec
21 at 1522. Not a het since BFO revealed the `carrier peaks` not only on 11700
but on 11699 as well as 11701. Nothing scheduled during this hour between
Bulgaria and France (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Warm greetings to all of you !
Still DXing on a regular basis, even though I didn't bother to send any report,
since 95% of what I've heard was regular stuff and when something more exotic
popped up on the PK loops such as Russia-171, the reception was very poor...
However, if I can get co-channel Russia, the loops are working well, just
Morocco's Nador 171 kHz LW transmitter is modulating poorly or is using less
power... I seem to remember back in the mid 90s (according to the 95 Newfie
report) they were harder to get in NF than in MA. In NF an unID station,
apparently Russia, was dominating 171 kHz...
Well, back on topic, yesturday while driving away with a friend from the movie
theater, heard a pedagogical pirate on 106.7 MHz with Xmas carols and
interviews with elementary level students about what Xmas means for them...
Very strong around Le March? Central area of MTL, however as we drove back
toward Pierrefonds, it slowly started to weakens and lead the way to Vergennes,
VT (former WIZN) which apparently changed its format from Classic Rock (The
Wizard) to C&W !
Is it a REAL pirate or a LPFM (Low Powered FMer) ? Who knows ?
I initially thought this was Arpents des Neige one, but this one is better up
here in Pierrefonds than in the March? Central area, but it certainly sounds
the same... Makes me want to start a pirate as well, relaying Aventure FM
airchecks from 1988 (the French Army - SIRPA broadcaster which turned to
MaXXimum 2 years later after its official launch in 1987), but I know aside
from the University a job in the radio field as a jock isn't that far off of my
life.
May the good DX be with you !
Bogdan Chiochiu
Btw.: I will comeback later with more details on how the DX condx have been
over the past few weeks... See you later aligator and Merry Christmas !

Blog of media guru from Montreal Gazette paper.
[Gatineau is the metropolitan name for the former Hull, Quebec, on the Quebec
side of the Ottawa River from Ottawa]
http://blog.fagstein.com/2009/12/21/radio-enfant-1067fm/
December 21, 2009 - 4:45 am| Posted in [25]Montreal, [26]Radio
A new radio station has snuck onto the airwaves in Montreal. It's
calling itself "Radio Enfant" and transmitting on 106.7 FM.
It's an initiative of two schools, and is operating over the
holidays until the beginning of January. It's a low-power transmitter,
so the signal is very weak, but I could pick it up for most of a late-night
walk downtown after hearing about it on the Radio in Montreal group.
Radio Enfant recently launched a station in Gatineau at 1670 AM, at a
CRTC-approved 1,000 Watts of power. It decided, apparently on its own, to start
something up on 106.7FM in Montreal, after learning that this frequency was
vacated by Aboriginal Voices Radio, which decided to surrender its license for
CKAV-FM-10 on that frequency.
The only thing is that, unlike the Gatineau station, Radio Enfant
hasn't been issued a CRTC license to operate a radio station in
Montreal. It says it's planning to apply for one (or has already
applied, but the CRTC hasn't released that application yet), but
that's kind of backwards, and means the Montreal stations are
technically pirates.
Fortunately, Radio Enfant isn't interfering with any existing
stations. Boom FM, a station in St. Hyacinthe on 106.5 FM, still comes
in fine (which is good, because it's an Astral Media Radio station,
and Astral is a funding partner in Radio Enfant). There are no
stations in the area at 106.9 - but there are in Trois Rivi?res,
Sherbrooke and Ottawa that basically cancel each other out here.
