** ANGUILLA [and non]. Checking 25m March 25 at 0524, there`s DGS on 11775, so
Caribbean Beacon has not made the change to night frequency 6090 after 2200!
Fair signal now and // 5935 WWCR, leaving 6090 to the DRM noise from 6085
Ismaning, if not also 6095 Junglinster. Meanwhile, RHC not audible on 11760
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. The NT stations making a good showing March 25 from 1228 tune-in,
best heard in quite a while, 2310 // 2325 // 2485 with Oz talk, promo news
coming up, ``on 783, ABC Alice Springs`` YL ID, 1230 ABC news sounder, and 10
minutes of news about the Territory, such as at 1235 that its population has
just exceeded 227,000. (Hmmm, there ought to be room to move Israel there and
solve a lot of problems.)
At first, 2310 and 2325 were about same level and close to 100% readable except
during brief fades; audio also on 2485 but a lot weaker. At 1240 on to
Nightline program, and by 1245, 2325 had faded to much weaker than 2310. Enid
sunrise today was 1228 UT.
I also looked for R. Symban, 2368.5 at 1234 and thought I could detect a
carrier, but weaker even than the very weak seventh harmonic of the NDB in
Lamesa, Texas, LSA on 2366. This was a VG Outback morning, as HCJB was also in
on 15 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. After having had good reception of the 120m stations half a
sesquihour earlier, I also had good reception of HCJB on 19m, where often it is
completely inaudible.
March 25 at 1315, on 15400 sermon in English with consecutive translation to
Chinese; at 1326 caught English ID ``Listening to HCJB Global Voice, Melbourne,
Australia`` and back into Mandarin.
HCJB also good on 15340 at 1315 with song in Asian language, no het from
Morocco, presumably off 15341 today. Around 1323, 15340 went to talk in unID
language, and reception so good I could tell there was slight hum on the
transmission. Scheduled 1315-1330 on Thursdays is Bhojpuri. Both WRTH 2010 and
Aoki show two clashing listings for 1330 daily, Hindi and Rawang! But station
website already displays A-10 schedule showing Hindi at 1330 and Rawang for
Myanmar at 1230.
Things had changed drastically by next check 1358 when both frequencies were
much weaker with flutter, 15340 worse (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 15430, ChiCom jamming against V. of Tibet, March 25 at 1359: all I
could hear was talk in Chinese mixed with noise, and both stopped at precisely
the same instant near 1400 as VOT was also scheduled to finish; therefore, I
think this was all coming from a single jamming transmitter.
17550, strong signal with M&W in Chinese at 1406 March 25, but heavy flutter.
V. of Tibet is also scheduled here via Madagascar at 1330-1430. VOT is
supposedly in Tibetan only, so suspect I was also hearing just the jamming. No
similar signals from China anywhere else on 17 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) see also INDONESIA
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI still on this channel, March 25 at 1308, YL in
accented English, but too much splash from ChiCom echo-jammer on 9530 vs VOA in
Chinese via Tinang (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6185, tuned in XEPPM just in time March 25 at 1207 to hear ID for MW
1060 XEEP and carrier cut, ceding frequency to the splash from RHC 6180.
>From April 4 M?xico DF nonsensically goes on DST of UT -5, so Radio Educaci?n
>nominal SW schedule shifts to 23-11 UT, but expect still to hear them somewhat
>before and after those hours on 6185 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 18057.9, March 25 at 1409, very poor but talk in Spanish audible, not
Miranda at the moment, 3 x 6019.3 R. Victoria (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** TURKEY. TRT with two different transmissions of Turkish music, March 25 at
1319: 15350 in the Turkish service, and better modulated 17700 in German
service.
>From March 28, never mind these: 15350 will be gone, and German will be an
>hour earlier from 1130 on 13760; Turkish before 1300 on 11955 and 13635, after
>1300 on 9840 only, per the A-10 schedule Mustafa Cankurt sent us (Glenn
>Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5050, WWRB, still on extended schedule, March 25 at 1220 with Bible
readings --- or not exactly, tho in stilted KJV English, adding dramatizations
with angry crowd noises, different voices M & W, even music. I had a feeling
something awful was about to happen to J. C. Modulation distorted as usual and
splattering to the low side where there was an intermittent blob circa 5042
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WTWW absent from 9480 and 5755, March 25 at 1306 check (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. On WORLD OF RADIO 1505 this week, I mention that WJHR has not been
heard for some time. As if in reply, there it is on 15550-USB, March 25 at
1401, ``beginning our broadcast day`` with address wjhr @ usa.com. Then
instrumental hymn on plucked instrument, ``Rock of Ages``; 1403 into the
perpetual preacher, referencing Proverbs XIV: 34. Possibly WJHR had been active
some in the afternoons, when I am not monitoring so regularly, but --- note
this from DXLD 10-11: (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
WJHR HAS BEEN BROADCASTING ILLEGALLY
Glenn, In DXLD and elsewhere, WJHR Milton FL has been reported with
what would appear to be programming.
FCC rule 73.712(a) limits an international broadcast station
conducting equipment tests to voice ID and tones only.
http://www.hallikainen.com/FccRules/2010/73/712/
I inquired to the FCC about the status of this station. The Commission
responded that this station has a construction permit and has not
filed an application for license. The station can only do equipment
tests, not actual programming, until a license application is filed
and program test authority (PTA) is granted. PTA and licensed
operation must be at 50 kW PEP (Benn Kobb, March 17, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 18530, Brother Scare on WINB second harmonic, March 25 at 1408 was
just barely audible but // 9265 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9370v, WTJC, March 25 at 1418 ending choral version of ``America the
Beautiful``, into a more overt Christian hymn; usual distorted lo-fi signal,
tsk for a station playing so much music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 7390, March 25 at 1259, VOA Yankee Doodle Dandy sign-on, pause
and 1300 into Cantonese. This is via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, at 13-15. News began
with item about GoDaddy following example of Google vs Chinese censorship ? and
no jamming audible! The ChiCom normally don`t bother with jamming Cantonese
broadcasts for some reason. However, there was a trace of very weak music
under; nothing else scheduled at this time except Belarus, unlikely. 7385 WHRI
was just signing off, but carrier stayed on a minute past 1300 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ZAMBIA. 9430, 1Africa, March 25 at 0533 was running promo that if you tried
to hear them between 9 and 18 hours CAT [UT +2] on March 24 and 25, you would
just hear noise [example], since they would be off the air for ``upgrade and
maintenance``. How exactly are their SW transmissions being upgraded? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6135, surprised to hear a fairly good signal at the late hour of
1422 March 25 with hymnic harmonies, blocked from 1429:45 by ``BBC London`` in
Vietnamese via Singapore, but still producing a SAH. Figured it would be easy
to look up what gospel huxter preceded on 6135, but nothing listed! Except
Yemen, rule that out. And except Madagascar, which others have heard by
long-path but I never expected to in deep North America a bihour after sunrise.
Could it be? In A-10, both Japan and Russia could be on 6135 during the 14-15
hour, so need to identify this pronto (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Hello There from Milano, Italy,
Please check IRRS-Shortwave and European Gospel Radio A10 schedule effective
Sunday March 28, 2010 online at:
http://www.nexus.org/NEXUS-IBA/Schedules/IRRS-SW_A10.html
Here are the major changes for the A10 season:
1) we are moving the week-end morning slot each Saturday (10-11 CEST) &
Sunday
(1130-1400 CEST) up +5 kHz to 9515 kHz, so that listeners in the Far East &
Pacific may try some DX reception of our broadcasts, away from interference
caused by a station in the Far East outside our main target area for this
particular broadcast (Europe & N Africa).
2) We are also shifting our early morning slot Mon-Thu on behalf of European
Gospel Radio to the evening on 7290 kHz, where you can find us daily from
1800-1900 UTC (ending at 2000 UTC on Fri-Sat & Sun).
Next Saturday, March. 27, 2010, still on 9510 kHz from 0900-1000 CET
(0800-1000
UTC) you can hear a special program from Radio Rasant, the students' radio
program from Sundern (Germany). Please remember to tune each Saturday
morning
CEST to the IPAR (http://www.nexus.org/IPAR) slot, where you can hear
programs
from Radio Joystick, Radio City (the radio of the cars), 39 Dover Street,
Radio
Rasant, World of Radio and DX Partyline. Check our program schedule online
for
more details.
While other stations leave the airwaves, you continued support is very
important
to keep us on the air. Coments on our programming are very much appreciated
to
all those who support us financially and keep our station alive. Please send
you
reception reports and especially your comments on our programming by email
to:
reports (at) nexus (dot) org
or visit our web site at http://www.nexus.org
You can also subscribe to our low-noise mailing list to receive updates on
our
schedule. Check our home page at http://www.nexus.org for details.
Please keep in touch, and let our member broadcasters and all of us here in
Milano know how you receive our signal in your part of the world. Thanks!
Best 73s,
Ron

** GREECE. 15630, VOG with lovely Greek music and good reception, much better
than Kuwait [q.v.] 11990, March 25 at 1937. Not heard after 2000, but then
incoming with lesser signal on 9420.
John Babbis points out that this is a national day celebrating the Greek war of
independence against the Ottoman Empire, and ERA-5 is simulcasting ERA-2 from
1300 to 0400 UT March 26 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. After hearing Syrian carrier on 12085, checked 11990: R. Kuwait is
not easy listening here during the 18-21 English broadcast, but got some of it
March 25: at 1930 from pop song into man introducing English program ``Human
Civilization`` mentioning a great Arab scholar, and an introduxion to history.
Then woman speaking clearly with lots of musical produxion; SINPO rating at
best 25433. At 1948 past 2000 rock and pop music, some with a gospel-ish tinge.
At 2041 more pop music; 2050 final news headlines, 2053 back to more music,
2058:30 signing off until next English broadcast tomorrow morning at 8 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MOROCCO [and non]. While RTM was inaudible around 1330 March 25 on 15341 or
15345, when I checked at 1940 there was Arabic on 15341, which supposedly
switches to 15345 at 1500. Probably more slopperation, not to be relied on, but
gets off Argentina`s 15345.2 in use after 1800. Unfortunately, the latter was
just barely detectable today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. After Syria [q.v.] finished with 12085, I noticed a much
weaker signal on 12080, March 25 at 1934, very poor with music and talk,
language uncertain, ``running water`` ute QRM. Must be R. Netherlands English
hour via South Africa, 330 degrees which ought to do better here, but
propagation is generally poor today.
Around 2035 found much better reception of RNW via Bonaire on 21525, but both
are disappearing after two more days, when the A-10 schedule shows these
possibilities at 19-21: 11970 France, 11610 Rwanda, and 7425 Madagascar; also
18-20 via 15535 Germany (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SYRIA. 12085, March 25 at 1928, open carrier with whine, flutter, but
unfortunately no modulation until off at 1929:15*. Surely Radio Damascus, which
would have outdone Kuwait [q.v.] 11990 if they had tried. A few minutes earlier
did not hear anything from Syria either on 9330 when looking for WBCQ (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO attempted monitoring Thursday March 25: scheduled on
WBCQ now only at 1900-1930 Thu/Tue/Wed on 7415; at 1920 just barely audible,
1923 faded up enough to hear a familiar voice mentioning 9960 and 9930 about
Radio Bar-Kulan; 9330-CUSB, which sometimes stays on past 1900, was not to be
heard. WBCQ`s other transmitter was better audible on 15420-CUSB with Global
Spirit Proclamation. I hope those closer to Monticello ME (but not too close)
have sufficient reception on 7415 some three hours before sunset and counting.
Next scheduled airing is 2100 on WRMI, 9955: altho the frequency was vacant
before then, no WRMI and no jamming either, by 2100 it was fully loaded with
jamming. Tnx a lot, my friend in Habana! Better luck we hope at 0030 UT Friday;
and after that at 0330 on WWRB 3185 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 13570, WINB, which has no shame, still transmitting convicted
child-molesting evangelist ``Tony Alamo`` now serving a 175-year sentence at a
Tucson prison, March 25 at 1935; still has worldwide outreach as he is alleging
that God is unpleased with ``people walking around naked exposing their filthy
flesh`` and will send them straight to hell (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 15550-USB, while I heard WJHR signing on at 1401 March 25, see
earlier report, later chex around 1800, 1938 failed to find it (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9480, WTWW still/again missing around 1920 March 25, but at next
tuneby 1945, PPP was back on. Later I was checking out MW reception on the
original ultralight, Sony SRF-59 barefoot, and found that the dial is off
allowing it to tune way below 530 kHz.
Even below the ``PN`` beacon listed at 515 kHz in Ponca City OK, I was getting
Scriptures for America! Guesstimate 510 kHz, but impossible to tell on tiny
analog dial. Tuning for this is extremely critical versus the backlash on the
thumbwheel, unlike real MW stations, and makes no difference whether I switch
to DX or local attenuation.
Must be a receiver-produced image from SW 9480 WTWW or 9980 WWCR which are //
and with extremely strong overloading signals here. Will be hard to tell which,
unless WTWW cuts off again and I can still hear it. But listened carefully at
hourtop 2100 and 510 had a WTWW ID by Ted Randall, still ``performing equipment
tests``, while no ID break at all from WWCR, at least not at this exact time
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. MW bandscan on the DX-398 at midafternoon March 25 found weaker
signals overall than I get on the caradio, but at least this is direxional. One
of interest appeared on 1010, between much stronger KTOK-1000 and KOKP-1020, at
2021 UT, slogan ``Rocket 10-10``, or so I thought, and oldies. Loops ENE/WSW.
I also got out the Sony SRF-59 ultralight to see how it would measure up: 1010
station barely audible, but bothered by the adjacents unlike the DX-398.
At 2030 playing Elvis` ``Now or Never``; mostly music, occasional brief
announcements, no hard-sell commercials heard. Missed hourtop ID if any at 2100
but music still going rather than news.
Groundwave, has to be either Independence KS or Amarillo TX, roughly collinear
with Enid. Must be recent format change as NRC AM Log 2009-2010 shows gospel
for KIND, ``Grace 10-10``, and C&W for KTNZ, ``True Country``. Independence is
closer but weaker, and normally it`s a stretch to pull in Amarillo even on 940.
NRC pattern book shows 1010 KIND non-direxional and Amarillo with a minor lobe
usward.
Steve Sprague in nearby Coffeyville KS has the answer in NRC DX News Vol. 77,
#22 posted Feb 27, 2010:
1010 KIND KS Independence, 2/16 Has changed formats from religion to oldies
rock and roll. Will ID as "Rocking 1010." (So not ``Rocket``)
Bill Kurtis, TV newsman, commercial pitchman, and documentarian, originally
from Independence, is an owner of KIND; glad to see he has divorced himself
from dependence on gospel huxters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
