Peru, 6047.11, Radio Santa Rosa, Tent, 0936-0940,
There's a carrier on this freq which is
probably Santa Rosa. Unfortunately, I can't hear any
audio at this time. Possibly the
station has not come on the air yet? Regardless, I
thought I'd post this carrier for continuity.
Incidentally, the carrier is poor. Checked back at
1034. The carrier was still on the air, but no
audio could be heard. (Chuck Bolland, January 29,
2010)
Brazil, 5045, Radio Guaruja Paulista, 1005-1025, (pres)
Noted a male and a female in Portuguese language
news. At 1018 promos presented and again at 1023.
Never heard a clear ID during this t he listening
period. Signal was fair however. (Chuck Bolland,
January 29, 2010)
Bolivia, 6134.80, Radio Santa Cruz, 1028-1035, At
tune-in, noted a few bars of music before a male
talks in Spanish language. Back to music at 1032.
Signal was poor. (Chuck Bolland, January 29, 2010)

** CHINA. Firedrake Jan 29 at 1426: poor on 10210, very poor on 8400, only a
het on 9000. Nothing on 7585 at this time, but did not check closer to 1500
when Firedrake has been inexplicably there previous days (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** COLOMBIA [and non]. Tnx to Jim Evans tip from Tennessee on WORLD OF RADIO
1497, I made a point of looking for the harmonic on 2980, which he heard at
0647 Jan 26. Yes, Jan 29 at 0611 definitely something on 2980.0, very weak
music vs QRN level now including lite T-storming close enough to propagate but
not nearby. Still just barely audible at 0630, never heard anything but music.
He had an ID at 0650 for R. Vida Nueva. Will keep trying. WRTH 2010 says it`s
HJAY, Barranquilla with 5 kW on 1490, slogan ``te acerca a Dios``, so the music
should be nothing but religious. It had also been reported months ago, but not
lately.
I`m sure that the other active MW harmonic, R. San Carlos, Costa Rica, 2859.8
would be much stronger if they would only stay on the air past 0200v.
The harmonic on 2980 making it all the way from Colombia speaks well for the
technical standards of the hundreds of US stations on 1490. Decades ago, one
could depend on there being a few harmonics audible at any given time on 2 x
graveyard frequencies, 2460, 2480, 2680, 2800, 2900, 2980, and the
probabilities are still highest on those channels (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA: 4050
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5910, Shiokaze, Friday Jan 29 at 1410 with heavily
accented English headlines from earlier in January about North Korea,
interrupted by their newsy stinger every minute. F-G signal via JAPAN, no
jamming audible. Ron Howard found them also in English on Thursday, which is
unusual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. 21695, Voice of Africa, OSOB, Jan 29 at 1508 in English, but better
on // 17725, ``dawn of a new age thru the African Union``, 1511 outroing a talk
on ``the devolution of Al-Fatah``, or so it sounded to me; 1512 ID ``Voice of
Africa from the Great Jamahiriyah`` and then hilife music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. From 15435 transmitter, Buzzing Service of the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia, checked again Jan 29 at 1502: full brunt of huge buzz interfering
with numerous other stations ranged approximately 15380-15680, with the
4-per-minute pulsing at the edges 15680-15780, and 15350-15380. Strong signal
from Portugal on 15690 was still not enough to overcome the pulsing. Then the
upper pulse range became 15480-15780, instead of full brunt up to 15680. Exact
ranges vary from minute to minute; at 1518 check, full brunt was 15300-15650,
bad news for Greece on 15650, while 4x/minute pulsing reached 15650-15770 and
15240-15300, conveniently short of QRMing the // BSKSA Qur`an channel 15225.
Since SA won`t do anything about it, a precision air strike could take it out,
but probably not without also destroying several other transmitters at the same
Riyadh site. ITU ought to have its own air force for such situations (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Having heard the harmonic on 2980 from Colombia, q.v., I was
motivated to look again for the third harmonic of KWMO, 1350, ``The Mouth``,
Washington MO on 4050, Jan 29 at 0616: yes, intermittent bits of US talk in
English, but mostly ute QRM. Since there was any signal at all from presumed
KWMO, probably another instance of running day facilities at night. Still no
Truth from Guatemala on 4052.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Driving around Enid Jan 28 near low noon, which is always 1832 UT,
still some X-band daytime skywave DX tho the sun is zenithing higher every day
as spring oncomes. (Snow did not start until 2100 Jan 28; plenty snow into
midday Jan 29 but no significant icing or power outages here unlike further
south in OK.) Tuning around the X-band in the daytime is always interesting as
propagation conditions vary widely.
A music station weakly on 1690 around 1815 UT, audible when propagation peaks
matched increasingly rare low-noise spots in the city. And again at 1912 when a
Radio Disney ID made it. Therefore it can only be KDDZ in Arvada CO as the only
dizzy outlet on frequency, and the only other station normally heard here on
1690 is talker WVON in the Chicago area. Denver`s other X-bander, Spanish KBJD
1650, might have accompanied KDDZ if it were not for splash from our local
KFXY-1640. No other significant skywave skywave signals on X-band during this
hour, not even KXTR-1660 Kansas City KS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
