Bolivia, 6155.33, Radio Fides, 1010-1020, Noted a very
faint signal here of a male in
Spanish Language comments. Sometimes a female comments
too. Tried for a
better result with both the WR G305e and WJ HF1000 and
both failed to produce
much more than a faint signal, although the display
from the WR was very much
better showing Fides' signal well, even though there
wasn't much audio. By the
way, there was a stronger signal on 6155 KHz producing
a het with Fides. (Chuck Bolland,
April 13, 2010)
Peru, 6019.30, Radio Victoria, 1020-1030, Noted a male
in Spanish language comments
here. Victoria mixing with the station on 6120 which
is playing Raga type music - excuse
the misspelled word. Even so, Victoria is audible with
precise tuning and with a fair
signal (Chuck Bolland, April 13, 2010)
China, 6125, China National Radio One, 1035-1045, This
is possibly the relay via Beijing
which comes on the air at 1000 UTC according to AOKI.
Noted various persons in
Mandarin (listed) language comments. Signal was good.
(Chuck Bolland, April 13, 2010)
Unident, 6128.70, 1045-1050+ Have a faint carrier and
display on this freq but no
audio heard. This could be Laos which is listed on
6130 KHz at this period of
time. Reported for reference and subsequent
confirmation. (Chuck Bolland,
April 13, 2010)
Peru, 6173.92, Tawantinsuyo, 1047-1100, Noted a male
in Spanish language
comments off and on as the signal fades in and out.
The signal was
threshold. (Chuck Bolland, April 13, 2010)
Tibet, 6200, PBS Xizang, 0930-1110+ Noted a program of
news and features
presented by both a male and female in Tibetan
language. Found a parallel
to this on 7385 KHz which was much a better signal than
6200 which was
poor, but was fading in so to speak. (Chuck Bolland,
April 13, 2010)

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** ANGUILLA. Caribbean Beacon, the ID never heard on the air, missing from
6090, April 13 at 0615, instead NIGERIA, q.v.; and also missing from day
frequency 11775 at 1319 and 1409 chex (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA [and non]. 7325, RCI Spanish service giving postal address, mixing
about equally with CRI in Japanese, also aimed USward, April 13 at 1243. This
is an old story, same thing happening all last summer, as RCI doggedly keeps
using this frequency, which is increasingly useless the further west from its
official target of the NE quadrant of the conterminous USA, 277 degrees from
Sackville. After this A-10 reminder, I promise not to keep reporting it, as RCI
obviously does not consider it a problem and the audience would be minuscule
even if it were QRM-free.
The collision applies to the entire trihour from 1105 to 1405 in Arabic,
Spanish, Chinese, as CRI Japanese service runs 1000-1357, 500 kW, 59 degrees
from Jinhua-Youbu #831 transmitter site, per Aoki. AIR Mumbai has apparently
thought better of adding to the clash after 1230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 4800 definitely in Chinese, April 13 at 1234, interfering with CODAR,
which is CNR1, 100 kW non-direxional from Geermu per Aoki, nothing from AIR
Hyderabad audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake April 13: at 1250, nothing on 8400, but at 1252 good on
10420, and suspicious weak open carrier on 11500. At 1417 fair on 10420, still
nothing on 8400. Nor anything in the 9.3`s at either time or in between (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. As previously reported, RHC`s new 12020 to S America
collides with RDPI Portugal on 12020 also to S America after 2300, but the
latter is M-F only. No problem of course Sunday April 11, so checked again
Monday April 12 at 2330: propagation poor, but RHC heard only on other new
12030 (with clicking jamspur now on the hi side), not on 12020 where a weak not
// signal was audible, presumably Portugal again in the clear. At 0015 April
13, could make 12020 // much stronger RDPI on 9715. So where has RHC gone from
12020? As yet unknown.
9735, April 13 at 1255 pulse jamming at the rate of 136 per minute against
nothing but an open carrier, i.e. Taiwan about to resume with its second hour
in Japanese, hardly worth jamming. But this could be a tipoff to something more
pertinent to the Cuban Commies on 9735 at some completely different hour; or it
could be a rogue jamspur.
OTOH, 9805, extra extended frequency of R. Mart?, April 13 at 1419 was jamfree,
but colliding with R. Free Asia, in Vietnamese via SAIPAN.
13880, the RHC leapfrog of 13680 over 13780, two very strong signals, doing
well April 13 at 1317, at peaks as strong as the Russian on 13870, VOR, 145
degrees from St. Pete, but Cuba with more fading (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 5980, April 13 at 1248 fair carrier with continuous tone,
leading up to something at hourtop. 1300 undermodulated Chinese talk starts,
soon revealed at 1301 as Deutsche Welle with ID, sounder. Listed via
Vladivostok at 240 degrees oppositely from US (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDIA. AIR with news in English, April 13 at 1231 on weak 4920 mixing with
music presumably from TIBET; news // but an echo apart on weaker 5010, Chennai
and T`m respectively;
At 1235 on 4820 music with SAH, one of which would be Kolkata, the other Lhasa,
plus SSB QRM. Local sunrise April 13 in Enid was 1201 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 4750, RRI Makassar in heavy mix with China (or Bangladesh?),
April 13 at 1233 but Indonesian talk atop (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI was missing April 11, back on but propped-out carrier
only April 12; April 13 at 1302 fairly good signal strength, but with flutter,
undermodulated under heavy hum, and adding the accent and pitch of Mr.
Banjarmasin, copy was too poor to stay with for yet another Exotic Indonesia
excursion on Tuesdays. YL in Jak did news headlines at 1304-1306 which were
much more readable but yawn, about the president signing letters about this and
that; 1306 back to Banjarmasin and I give up (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** IRAN [non]. In A-seasons with 15410 absent, it`s harder to find a decent
signal for Radio Farda`s great music mix, but audible April 13 at 1403 with
song in Farsi, 1407 ID in passing, this hour only via Wertachtal, GERMANY on
13580; abandoned by R. Prague (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 5890, VOA Korean via TINIAN, April 13 at 1247 with
noise jamming plus wavering het I had not noticed before.
Looked for Shiokaze on new 6135 as Ron Howard discovered, but too far into
daytime absorption here at 1410. Would block longpath from Madagascar if it
were still audible either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6185, XEPPM, April 13 at 0622 still in the clear with a string of
Carole King songs, album cuts, after intro in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9860, Arabic music and then talk about Hollandia, good
signal April 12 at 2120. It`s the new A-10 frequency for RN via RWANDA during
this hour at 325 degrees, tho missing from Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 6090, in absence of Anguilla, April 13 at 0615 African language
distorted with hum, long pause leaving the hum unimpeded, resumed talk at 0616,
no doubt R. Nigeria, Kaduna, presumably in Hausa, which when AIA is on can be
heard as an undercurrent, and slightly off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1580, KOKB Blackwell had resumed modulating, at 2027 UT check
April 12 on caradio, sports talk with the studio announcer somewhat
overmodulated/distorted (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. KFXY 1640 Enid may have changed format to ``The New
Faith 1640`` with southern gospel music --- but that doesn`t mean an even more
important religion, baseball can`t bump off the praise whenever there is a
game.
Monday afternoon April 12 at 1840 UT, I am hearing Royals baseball vs Tigers at
Detroit! And frequent commercial breaks including local ones for the KC area,
such as Edward Jones in Prairie Village. What good does that do us in Enid,
with half a dozen of those right around here??
Next check at 2026, still Royals game. It was about over so after the post-game
wrapup, and I could not care less who won, at 2046 slogan as ``The sports
authority for Edmond, 1640 The Score`` and already mixing with gospel music as
it immediately converted to ``The New Faith 1640``. Edmond is a northern suburb
of OKC well within coverage.
There are bound to be night games too, so DXers may still hear either format
and either slogan, depending, on 1640. But apparently still not sports talk any
more, just live games and associated chatter.
While I was at it, scanned the MW band to find what other stations were audible
on the Royals network, no IDs heard but easily presumed:
1550, KKLE Winfield KS (tho CCI KYAL Sapulpa OK is also sports)
1510, KNNS Larned KS, barely audible in KOKC splash, but // 1640
(was surprised to get this, as not usually audible daytimes)
1150, KSAL Salina KS
1130, KLEY Wellington KS, sibling station to 1550 KKLE Winfield
860, KKOW Pittsburg KS
690, KGGF Coffeyville KS
580, WIBW Topeka KS
and some 8 seconds delayed, 610, KCSP Kansas City, which I assume is the
originating station. Is that so it will be less obvious that the same game is
on 580 WIBW? It`s also incredible that 690 and 860 in essentially the same
market with huge coverage overlap are both carrying Royals. Axually, 580 alone
would suffice to cover this entire area in KS, MO and OK, not to mention NE and
IA.
I also ran across more silly ball games on the dial; they all sound alike to
me, so in the parked car I employed the handy portable I always keep in the
vehicle, and checked for parallels.
Cardinals were also playing, on:
1390, KCRC Enid OK [we are so lucky to have access to both!]
1230, WBBZ Ponca City OK
Rangers on:
710, KGNC Amarillo TX
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PAKISTAN [and non]. Something colliding on 15540, April 13 at 1310, the
stronger signal slightly off to the hi side, producing a wavering whine, one
talk, one music.
At 1328, S. Asian music on the hi side is atop the talk on the lo side, and the
lower one goes off at 1329, while the hi side makes an announcement, and then a
brief riff which sounds hymnic.
Still trying to figure out what the remaining signal is at 1350, a bit of music
sounds HOA, later Chinesish, 1355 SEAsish, now with heavy flutter. 1400 a brief
tone and off.
Eibi shows 15540 with R. Pakistan in Tamil at 1300-1330. Aoki has nothing at
all in this hour. The other one must be something new (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3905, with a bit of music April 13 at 1237, but more than
a semihour after LSR, and soon losing out to SSB QRhaM. Has to be R. New
Ireland, as RRI Merauke is inactive (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PORTUGAL. See CUBA [and non], 12020
** RUSSIA. R. Rossii with jazz on 7320, April 13 1244, squeezed between 7325
RCI/CRI, see CANADA [and non], and 7315 WHRI with country gospel music; but //
7200, which had a co-channel SAH, and QRhaM with a QSO between a 4 and a 9.
7200 is Yakutsk, 7320 is Magadan per Aoki, nowhere near Irkutsk per HFCC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 11820, BSKSA with Qur`an, April 12 at 2130, good for lullaby
napping as I could barely understand a word of it, so no risk of inadvertent
conversion; also found on // 11915 still going at 2157. These are 320 and 295
degrees respectively from R. Riyadh`s HQS, or at least they were in B-09 per
Aoki; but not really intended for the Americas.
17705 at 1401 April 13, weak signal in Arabic with stingers, mentioning Saudi;
R. Riyadh program 1 is new here at 12-15, 310 degrees to Europe; probably
ex-21640 as also noted by Rumen Pankov, Bulgaria (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SEYCHELLES [non]. 11985, April 12 at 2159, Arabic-sounding song and talk
mentioning ``Idha`at`` and ``Akbar`` in a .com website; had clix on low side,
probably spur from Cuban 11930 jamming, and after 2200 bothered by RCI from
11990. Also heard a few words of French, 2203.5 into music.
This is FEBA via ASCENSION; Eibi says the language is Pulaar daily at
2145-2215; Aoki says Hassinya at 2145-2200 Mon-Tue-Thu-Fri and nothing later or
on other days. HFCC says Pulaar daily 2145-2215 at 27 degrees. Pulaar is spoken
in Senegal/Gambia and vicinity, related to Fulani/Fulfulde, not to be confused
with Pular; while Hassinya presumably refers to Western Sahara (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. BBCWS` only remaining SW broadcast in English to the entire
Western Hemisphere, M-F 1215-1300 via WHRI 9410, still exists, April 13 at 1251
with Robin Lustig interviewing someone, but considerable co-channel QRM in
Chinese and SAH caused by CNR and incidentally jamming Fu Hsing, Taiwan (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WWCR-4 off the air again from 9980 another afternoon, April 12 at
2118 and in the following hour, but seemed to be back at 2330 tho just barely
audible as were WWCR-2 on 9350 and WTWW 9479 since propagation had dropped out.
The M-F program schedule shows:
2000 WW Country Radio
2100 Truth House
2200 Challenge Ministries
2300 Unshackled
2330 Thru the Bible
0000 Golden Age of Radio to 0200*
I would assume that Truth House and Challenge Ministries are paid programming
so strange to be silent then, rather than during WWCR, Unshackled or GAOR
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. Checking the M-F ``A Fondo`` hour jointly produced by R.
Mart? and VOA, UT Tue-Sat 00-01: April 13 at 0010, all jammed, but audible on
11970, 9885, 7365, 6030. Forgot to check 11775, the fifth frequency heard four
nights earlier.
Suspect Lavwadlamerik has quietly cancelled the extra Creole broadcasts started
ASAP after the Haitian earthquake in January, but when? VOA took forever to add
the new schedule to the A-Z website, and now that it has, some of the
frequencies shown are missing.
As Of April 13, VOA A-Z language schedule still shows: Creole - NEW!
0000-0100 UTC 5835 7590
0100-0200 UTC 5835 7465
1130-1230 UTC 6135 9505 M-F
1630-1830 UTC 15390 17565
1830-2000 UTC 15390
2000-2200 UTC 11905 13725
2200-2300 UTC 7590 11905
2300-0000 UTC 5835 7590
But April 13 at 0015, nothing on 5835 and 7590. Need to check the earlier
channels, as may revert to original afternoon timing of 2100-2130 only, nothing
later.
April 13 at 1757 and 1835, nothing on 15390 or 17565, so the midday show has
probably contracted to original 1630-1700. Or less? I am beginning to wonder if
*any* VOA Creole SW broadcasts remain on the air; need to check all above times
and frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5050, WWRB presumed running all-night as normally heard both late and
early with Biblical readings/dramatizations, but April 13 at 0627 it`s missing;
1226 it`s on vs SAH de CHINA, could be both of them at this hour (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, WRMI, April 13 at 1321 with screaming preacher in English vs
DentroCuban pulse jamming. The latest WRMI program grid we have, dated March
23, showed various English religious programs at 1300-1315 M-F including Gospel
King on Tuesdays, but then at 1315 French for Haiti, Radio des Nations-Unies,
which this was definitely not (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15540 at 1300-1400: see PAKISTAN [and non] ###

U.K. 11615 Polskie Radio Warsaw via Woofferton in Ukrainian 1500-1530 UT,
noted at 1505 UT April 12, suffered and covered by China mainland echo
jamming. Scheduled IBB Saipan 1400-1500 UT, I guess VOA Cantonese sce. But
CHN jamming last longer into 15-16 UT slot.
