Peru, 6019.25, Radio Victoria, 1050-1100, Noted a male
in a lengthy discourse
of Spanish comments. Sounds like he's preaching.
Signal is difficult to hear
due to the Het that is coming from a station on 6020
KHz. Victoria was

** CUBA. So much for lack of jamming against WRMI during its Haitian service at
12-13 M-F on 9955: Feb 8 at 1248 check, nothing but heavy DCJC noise wall vs
scheduled UN Radio relay in French. I don`t know whether it was already
grinding as early as 1200, but seems the callous Cubans can`t risk anything
positive getting thru to Haiti.
Since I have had occasion more than once recently to criticize the atrocious
quality of the 11705 transmission relaying Venezuela at 12-13, such as
distorted modulation and splatter, it is only fair that I also make note of its
fine clear modulation achieved on Feb 8 at 1254 about the Haitian earthquake
and Venezuela`s aid, what else? The carrier was still on, open, at 1309 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 5005, Feb 8 at 0608, Spanish talk with a bit of reverb,
poor signal but with Castilian accent and anyhow there are no LAs on this
frequency, so surely RNGE Bata --- or rather RGE, as WRTH 2010 names it just
Radiodifusi?n de Guinea Ecuatorial; nothing audible on 6250 but lots of ute
QRM. Oops, WRTH does show a Radio LTC, Juliaca, Per? on 5005 or 5006, but have
seen zero reports of that anytime in last few years (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI missing again Feb 8 at 1243 check, while RRI 9680 was
in well with music. No 9526- either at some other tunebys (tunebies?) in the
following bihour. 9680 was airing ``Indonesian opera`` just before 1500 and as
usual ran over, this time until 1501. Just as applause started, cut the
carrier, so at least this transmitter op is paying some attention to what`s
being modulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ISRAEL. 15785.0, instead of 2-3 kHz lower was Galei Tsahal, Feb 8 at 1525
with discussion in Hebrew; poor signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 4800, Feb 8 at 0621, preacher speaking Spanish in
conversational tone, what a relief compared to overwrought David Miranda via
Brasil 9565 a few minutes earlier; weak but almost readable signal vs CODAR.
XERTA is seldom heard here this well, or at all, and must be very low power,
tho it does make it to Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MOROCCO. So much for my hypothesis that RTM had quit using 15341 in favor of
15345 as monitored the past couple days: Feb 8 at 1414 they were back on 15341,
poor signal and undermodulated Arabic. Sometime during the next hour, probably
circa 1500, switched to 15345 where found at next check 1526. I suppose the
variation is just a matter of sloppy get-around-to-it operation. Still not
detecting HCJB Australia even as a het from 15340 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 7260, Feb 8 at 1531, VOR English starting Russian by Radio lesson,
fair but ham SSB QRM and I bail out. This is 230 degrees from Vladivostok.
During same hour R. Liberty in Tajik, 316 degrees from Thailand is also
scheduled, but inaudible here. I should think VOR would bother RL reception in
Tajikistan, close to its targets from Kashmir to Vietnam (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. This Monday Feb 8 I set the alarm to remind me to check REE`s weekly
Sephardic service, but of course, remembered this time and did not need the
alarm. Already at 1416 open carrier on 15385, but off at 1420*. *1420:30 cut
back on with REE IS for three sesquiminutes. 1425 to fanfare and sign-on as
``Radio Nacional de Espa?a/Radio Exterior, emisi?n Sefarad en judeo-espa?ol``.
YL then announces frequencies for the three transmissions, starting with this
one on ``15325`` --- she STILL doesn`t know what frequency she is really on,
15385, but just as well since it`s clear and 15325 is not. Then detailed
summary of upcoming program content, so much that I found it hard to imagine
how they could cram all that into a semihour.
Nevertheless, no less than the first half was dedicated to an interview with a
musician named Paco. He was speaking Castilian and she was speaking JE, but of
course they have no trouble understanding each other. Too bad there wasn`t time
to hear much of his music. Still, it`s a well-produced show and we loved what
music there was. Wrapped up with another frequency schedule announcement,
fanfare and off at 1455* sharp. After antenna switch, 15385 back on at *1456:30
for regular REE service in conventional Castilian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K. 5790, Feb 8 at 0615 Russian dialog about Ukrainian elexion, shortly
mentioning BBC, fair signal but would be better without QRM and overload from
Cuban spy cut numbers superstrong 5800. BBCWS English on 5875 was very good.
5790 is 250 kW, 47 degrees from Rampisham at 05-07 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. Based on a remark from someone at BBCWS Trust,
kimandrewelliott.com assumed that the first week in February was to be the
``last week`` for Connexion Ha?ti, the special Creole program BBCWS pulled
together a week or two after the quake, in the wake of immediate Creole
expansion by VOA.
It had been inserted into the Spanish hour, at 1232:30-1252:30 via WHRI 9410
and Guiana French 11860; however, on Friday Feb 5 we heard them say they`d be
back the next day, altho unchecked on Saturday and Sunday. Surely this would be
gone by Monday, and the Spanish frequencies back to classical music fill?
No. But it almost seemed that way, as the show did not start at the appointed
time. When we intuned 9410 Feb 8 at 1237 there was an apology loop in French
(not Creole), with music, saying programming was unavailable from BBC Afrique,
so check out bbcafrique.com. Afrique? How did that get in here?
But at 1238 axually started Connexion Ha?ti which thus still exists; perhaps it
is being extended, maybe, day to day, or week to week. If it was needed before,
it is not needed any less now. This late start should have been just in time to
get it finished before the transmissions end at 1300 sharp.
Receptionwise, at the outset 9410 was quite weak and mixed with Chinese QRM,
i.e. CNR5 Beijing blocking Fu Hsing, Taiwan, per Aoki, and 11860 was much
better, but at 1241, WHRI 9410 rapidly built up to full strength as if someone
were turning up the power, but apparently, the morning ionosphere was just
getting itself together, now way over the Chinese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9885, VOA with morning service in Spanish called Enfoque Andino,
whose remit would seemingly overlap that of the new evening show with Mart?, A
Fondo; at 1245 Feb 8 with report from Venezuela, someone highly critical of
adopting Haitian `orphans` abroad to such awful places as New York; then anchor
asked for people in Venezuela to send photos of what`s going on there,
presumably meaning anti-government demonstrations, to comentarios @
voanoticias.com to be published on its website http://www.voanoticias.com ---
looking around, I don`t find much of that, but here`s one:
http://www1.voanews.com/spanish/news/latin-america/Niegan-marcha-en-Caracas--83554712.html
At 1310 they were plugging A Fondo, M-F at 8-9 pm on 9825 et al. (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. To emphasize my disdain for stupid ballgames, I wanted to see how
long I could go without finding out who won the so-called Superbowl, UT Feb 8.
That evening I was watching mostly C-SPAN and OETA/PBS; even avoided seeing it
surfing past Yahoo headlines, but scanning MW quite by chance I couldn`t help
but find out as WOAI was mentioning it just as I tuned across 1200 at 0633 UT,
drat! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** ARGENTINA. Have not been able to detect RAE on 15345 while Morocco is on, so
wondering if it`s gone again? No, Feb 8 at 2156, very poor signal with flutter,
but enough to recognize the RAE IS.
Also weak and fluttery signal with music during scheduled Japanese hour, Feb 9
at 0147 on approx. 11710.7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [and non]. 15190, have not checked R. Africa lately
whether they are still broadcasting convicted and sentenced to 175 years,
child-marrying sex-criminal ``Tony Alamo``? Yes! Feb 8 at 2201, in the clear
after YFR off 15195, there he is, conversing with his YL sidekick, and at 2226
she is reading some verses, prompted and with interjexions by Alamo. Good
signal but deep fades.
I also heard him earlier the same day around 1330 on WINB 9265, as he was
comparing himself to some other religionists at the margins who have had
problems with the law, David Koresh and Warren Jeffs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. I have long noticed on the caradio that there is
something wrong with KSPI 780 Stillwater, a sports talker; Feb 8 at 2049 UT I
was hearing hets of almost the same pitch when stepped 10 kHz to much weaker
stations on adjacent frequencies, both of them attempting to play music for our
enjoyment:
770, KAAM Garland, The Metroplex, TX, with ``The Way You Look Tonite``,
nostalgia format, and
790, KXXX Colby KS, with ``Rhinestone Cowboy`` in country format; and mixed
with news/talk from KFYO Lubbock TX
There is also a higher-pitched whine when tuned to KSPI itself. It`s about 50
miles away, and hard to believe a daytimer with such a big signal here is only
250 watts. They must be modulating it to the hilt. I think it is putting out
spurs, but will have to see if I can measure them on some other radio.
BTW, years ago in Enid I had no problem hearing daytime groundwave from KXXX in
the NW corner of KS, or KFYO, also over 300 miles away in West Texas, nulling
one or the other, but not any more with KSPI on one side and augmented KQCV OKC
800 on the other, now 2.5 kW instead of original 250 watt outlet. Trying to
remember its original call from the 1960s when I started, but FCC call sign
history can`t either. KQCV also makes it tough to listen to WHB ex-KCMO Kansas
City on 810.
1220, Feb 8 at 2052 UT, looking for the Asian station from The Metroplex, but
only hearing weak soul/gospel music outlet; a few minutes later, lengthy local
commercial by obnoxious pitchman, but could not copy anything pinning it to
KTLV Midwest City or OKC, due to splash from 1230 WBBZ Ponca City with music
most of the time. Less than an hour later, I was not getting 1220 at all.
FCC shows the 250 watts are direxional with major lobes at 60 and 250 degrees,
nulls including 340 degrees, close to Enidward, so it could still be on but
with little signal here, while 250 W would be plenty if it were nondirexional.
Forget about it at night, 5 watts on same pattern.
NRC AM Log 2009 shows format UC/GOS, which fits, and slogan ``Key To Living
Victoriously`` --- gee, I always thought KTLV was supposed to evoke ``Twelve``.
And furthermore it`s marked -I for IBOC, if so, certainly undetectable here.
1610, at quiet spots in western Enid one can make out the NWS relay via Great
Salt Plains State Park TIS, WQCL720, axually licensed to the town just south,
Jet. Quick & Easy leads right to the GE image at
http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=36.742500,-98.132222&=0.03805,0.06727&t=k&hl=en
We located the mast in the park area to the left of the road opposite the
airstrip, where BTW, our ``local`` NEXRAD weather radome is located, identified
with Vance AFB, both quite a distance away.
1610 used to alternate NWS Enid 162+ MHz relays with local loop of info about
attraxions at the park and other towns such as Cherokee, but lately I have
heard nothing but NWS so perhaps the old tape wore out after never having been
changed for years, turn-it-on-and-forget-it.
Back to the point, on Feb 8 at 2140 I was unusually getting QRM from another
1610 TIS, believe it`s YL voice, making 1 Hz SAH, most likely from the next
closest one, Kansas Turnpike Authority, per MW List Quick & Easy: ``WPQG483
Wellington, KS 0.01 nr jct k35 & us 160 hwy``
which provides its own weather and traffic alerts for paying travelers (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [and non]. Missed it by that much: at 0146 UT Tue Feb 9 I remembered
to check for the SAm broadcast of RNE/RE`s Emisi?n Sefarad, which I hear Monday
mornings at 1425 on 15385, not announced 15325.
Hostess says the 0115-0145 broadcast is on 11780, but at 0146 RNA Brasil is
inbooming as usual, some flutter, with ``goooooooooaaaaaaaaallllllll`` remark.
Hard to imagine REE being audible here, let alone there, no stronger than the
weak REE signal arriving on 11680 --- and the 0115 broadcast is registered B-09
on 11795 which should be clear if axually in use, so let`s hope her
announcement in this case is also wrong, but have to wait at least another week
to check it out.
Strangely, 11795 is also on the books for the repeat to NAm at 0415 along with
9690 and 9650, but surely only using one of them, 9690 the last we checked,
with the others being wooden alternates (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. KVOH, often absent and either not propagating or off the air, but
loud S9+20 signal with Spanish religion on 17775, Feb 8 at 2157. When that`s
the case, time to look for its parasitic spurs --- yes, noisy blob around
17921, weak and could not make out any modulation to //, and an even weaker one
at matching 17629, both 146 kHz away from fundamental. One semihour later,
17775 had faded to only S9+7 at peaks, and the spurs went below threshold.
BTW, I keep seeing schedules published for this station showing they are also
on 9975 morning and/or evening. KVOH does repeatedly register that with FCC and
consequently HFCC, Aoki, and even WRTH show it, but don`t you believe it until
someone axually hears KVOH on 9975.
Is anyone paying attention to reality, and our reports about it? Only EiBi has
got the message NOT to list KVOH on 9975 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. Checking around 0136-0140 during the 01-02 UT Tuesday hour
Feb 9 whether VOA is still operational as last week? Yes:
A Fondo: best on 7340, good on 9415, barely audible on 11625. No jamming on
those, but heavy jamming on R. Mart? 6030, 7365, 9825 which are supposedly
carrying same program.
Lavwadlamerik: best on 7465, rather poor on 5960, 5835. No 7590.
And WWCR: active on 9980, 7490, 5070 and presumably 5935.
9810 also with Cuban jamming against R. Rep?blica, along with some rhythmic
tones I don`t hear elsewhere, so wonder if that is from the jamming or a bit of
RR programming sounders poking thru the noise.
The Feb 8 issue of DX Mix News, Bulgaria shows this as a VT Communications
transmission via Rampisham UK:
2300-0400 on 9810 RMP 500 kW / 285 deg to Cuba Spanish
Even tho VT does not admit it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955 WRMI tonight: Pretty good signal at 0140 UT Feb 9 with JSWC
reporter, at first I thought DXPL, but I guess it`s Wavescan, scheduled
0115-0145, and apparently no jamming. Are you on the NW antenna yet? (Glenn to
Jeff White)
Glenn: That's good to hear. No, we haven't found the problem yet with the NW
antenna, but they're working on it off and on. Our consulting engineer is
coming back from Panama around Feb. 15th, so my guess is they'll try it again
while he's here.
Yes, Yukiko does the JSWC report on both DXPL and Wavescan. I'm not sure if
it's the exact same material though (Jeff White, WRMI, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
