** CHILE. Yet another problem with a CVC transmitter, this time the one in
Spanish on 17680: May 23 at 1257 found matching modulation spur spikes at plus
and minus 65 kHz = 17745 and 17615. At least these are concentrated and not
spreading over the entire range like CR [q.v.] from 15170. (It goes without
saying that WWRB was splattering too from 9385 on 9370 and 9400.) (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake May 23:
8400, nothing, nor on 9 MHz band
10420, fair at 1248, very good at 1315 but went off at 1316*
11500, fair at 1248 and 1314 // 10420
12800, VG at 1351 // 12970
12970, VG at 1351 // 12800
13000, VG at 1250 and 1309, not // 10420; off by 1351
13300, VG at 1352 // 12800 and 12970
13320, VG at 1250 // 13000 but not the lowers
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COSTA RICA [and non]. May 22 I again checked out 17850 for more unID DRM
tests. Not today, probably because it`s Saturday, but plenty more of interest
from REE. Tune-in 17850 at 2042 to find big AM carrier, with hum and some hash
on hi side, but no programmatic modulation. Even without DRM, this signal
overshadows WYFR on 17845; with lots of open space on 16m, they should never
have attempted such neighborliness. Then 17850 cut off for a minute at
2043*-*2044; 2046 added modulation, a show called ``Hispanorama``.
This was axually a series of brief modules with closing, pause and re-opening
every few minutes, evergreen topix such as art, the Second Republic, etc. At
2100 I compared to 17595 direct from Spain and found other programming running
there (in plain Castilian, not portullano as on weekdays). At 2113 I also
compared to much weaker 11815 and 9765 and found the odd programming was also
running on those Cariari channels // 17850.
Suddenly, at 2120, Hispanorama stopped and the three rejoined feed from Madrid
in progress, // 17595 and weak 17755 but with the usual satellite delay a
second or so after them. So Hispanorama was backup programming from the site
for whenever feed from Spain be lost. Another direct frequency with much bigger
signal in // was 15110.
After 2200 they were all in a world music show, sounded African, then at 2231
discussing jud?os argentinos and their music. Per this program grid
http://programasdx.com/principal_archivos/parrillaree10.pdf
at 2200-2300 UT Saturdays it is ``Mundofon?as``; and before 2200 is ``Tablero
Deportivo``, which normally would have been filled by silly ballgames, but none
this Saturday evening, or they ended earlier.
Next morning May 23: 15170 CR back on with extremely strong signal at 1254 just
as ``Amigos de la Onda Corta`` was ending. Unfortunately it`s distorted on the
fundamental and splattering modulation spikes as far as 15000 to 15330,
worsening closest to 15170. 1353 still doing it altho more like plus/minus 100
kHz range (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. 11845, at 1310 Sunday May 23, atop jamming, R. Mart? again
talking about Mark Twain, no doubt playback of the same show I heard
previously. They pointedly remarked that Twain was known for satirizing
American foibles. (Something the humorless DentroCuban Revolutionaries would
never do about themselves.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 6120, NHKWNRJ via Sackville, May 23 at 1219 during World
Interactive, with new monthly feature`s second outing by a guy from South
Dakota who is teaching English in Japan, ``Dotchi``, which involves surveying
website visitors on different topix, this month: should holidays be shifted to
they don`t bunch up causing congestion? (There were three or four in a row in
early May`s Japan.). Said to go to http://www.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/dotchi
Dotchi means decide and it`s running in all their languages, including English:
https://www.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/dotchi/top/english/index.html
No mention of the SD guy on that website, but he outroed as Jeff Otto(?), to be
back next month (on the fourth Sunday, evidently). 1224 back to YL host who
mentioned they are still doing a haiku feature (presumably on the first
Sundays), and plugged contest prompted by 75th anniversary of R. Japan (make
that R. Tokyo! From the Japanese Empire, pre-WWII), ``What is Radio Japan to
me?``. Deadline July 15; entries may be in several forms, including plain
essays; see website. Then to mailbag including a French harmonica player whose
website is http://pierredacquin.com There he`s selling his CDs, but I don`t
see any samples (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. 13760, May 22 at 2111, unmistakable style and accent in English
of VOK zombie, fair signal blustering about South Korean traitors provoking
war. It seems the 13 MHz area is currently in a narrow band between the LUHF
and the MUF at this time of day from E Asia to C North America (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6045, XEXQ-OC still missing Sunday May 23 at 1215 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Two of our irregular AM stations are missing again, May 22 at 2015
UT: 1580, KOKB Blackwell, back to open carrier, and same an hour later; last
few days whenever checked the revived audio had been unpleasantly overmodulated
and distorted.
1120, KEOR Sperry-Catoosa-Tulsa, still absent, no modulation or carrier. Ditto
for both at next check 1604 UT May 23 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. 13600, 0510 May 23, good signal with `Horn of Africa` music,
into Arabic(?) interview on phone. But it`s R. Dabanga, via Madagascar, for
Sudan, which is not exactly on the HOA, 0430-0527 at 330 degrees, thus also
USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9265, WINB with Martha Garvin`s ``Musical Memories``, May 23 at 1242
accompanying herself on piano as she sang ``I Shall Not Be Moved`` and ``That
Train``, i.e. civil rights protest songs, imagine that. Next check at 1317
heard a less talented singer with portative organ accompaniment caterwauling
``The Battle Hymn of the Republic`` followed by sermon about Micah. Sounds like
the Filipina who has decided she should evangelize American ex-colonialists.
Naturally, WINB`s screwed-up program sked on its own website is no help,
showing Martha only at some completely different time, and wrong ET/UT
conversion so that Sunday at `1400` it`s ``Living the Bible`` or at `1300`
``Call to Worship`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. Another no-show from El Hugazo, checking ``Alo,
Presidente`` frequencies via Cuba, Sunday May 23 at 1604: nothing on 17750,
13750, 13680, 12010, 11690. RHC itself was audible on 11730, 11760, 12030,
15380 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
