Japan, 6115, Radio Nikkei2,(pres) 1005-1015 Noted a
program of steady music. Looked for a parallel signal.
There was music on 3925 KHz where R. Nikkei1 is
situated, but could not tell if Nikkei2 and Nikkei1
were parallel because the signal on 6115 KHz was too
weak to hear clearly. While Nikkei1 on 3925 KHz
had a good signal going for it. (Chuck Bolland, June

Hello DXers,
Here's a few catches, nothing exotic though:
June 4, 2010
Voice of Russia World Service, new frequency of 7440 KHZ @ 0005 UTC (Radio
Ukraine frequency and transmitter?) I sent VOR an e-mail asking whether this is
temporary or a pemanent addition to their schedule. Although they know me from
having sent many reception reports over the years, I still haven't got a reply??
June 10, 2010
USA, WINB, Red Lion, York, Pa. - 9330 KHZ @ 2112UTC, discussing something about
electricity.
USA, Radio Marti - 9565 KHZ @ 2126, Spanish via Greenville.
June 12, 2010
New York Radio, Gander Radio - 6605 KHZ, USB @ 0005 UTC and 0025 UTC
respectively, Aviation weather.
Kuwait, Radio Kuwait (presumed) - 15540 KHZ @ 1932 UTC, weak, barely
understandable.
USA, WTJC, Newport, N. Carolina - 9370 KHZ @ 2247 UTC.
June 13, 2010
Italy, CVA, Radio Vaticana - 7305 KHZ @ 0346 UTC, Spanish to N. America, Relay
via Radio Canada.
England, BBC, Rampisham - 9410 KHZ @ 0428 UTC, English to Russia. (Probable
skip conditions?) I believe that this is an accurate report as possible.

PIRATE (NA) 6900 Partial India R. (pres.) Just strong enough to hear
what sounded like an ID and ment of PA mailing addr at 0050. Not 100% sure
though. (13 June)
SOLOMON ISLANDS 5019.96 R Happy Isles Usual pgm of mx mixed w/W host
giving PSAs and messages. Quite strong and clear at 1018 t/in, but nearly
dropped out of sight in fade and Rebelde slop in 2 minutes from 1026-1028.
Was hoping to get a nice ID recorded. (13 June)
MONGOLIA?? 12085 V.O. Mongolia (tent.) Could only muster tlk by W and
almost Pop-like mx from 1048 to 1057*. Again, just not quite strong enough.
(13 June)
UNID. 11714.87 UNID. Just tlk by W in lang. at 1120. Too weak.
Definitely Asian, and kind of sounded like North Korea, but I couldn't find
this freq listed anywhere. (13 June)
TAIWAN 9734.895 TAIWAN R. Taiwan Int. Tlk by M in JP at 1120. Went off
at exactly 1200 as scheduled. Was able to check it on the Perseus before it
went off and found it to be 105 hz low. Bdcst was jammed, but not very
effective here. Thought at first it might be NHK. (13 June)

Hi Rich,
9330 is not WINB, but WBCQ. WINB uses 9265. 73, Glenn Hauser

** CHINA. Firedrake June 13:
14600, good at 1324; nothing lower found starting at 1320; off at 1359
16800, good at 1332, // 14600; at 1400 to open carrier, 1405 resuming.
15330, CNR1 // 15285, both jammers, June 13 at 1321, but 15330 has additional
noise, somewhere between bubbling and grinding. Vs. BBCWS Uzbek via THAILAND at
1300-1330 only. Frequency clear after 1330. Standard remark about China messing
with Uzbek affairs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. I`ve noticed RHC keeping 15370 on the air later than scheduled 21-23
for Europe, such as UT June 13 at 0004 still going with Revista Informativa de
la Noche, // much weaker 15380; and also stronger than CRI relay on 15120.
Still 15370 a few minutes later. Next check 0037, 15370 was off. I wonder if it
was still on antenna aimed toward Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE. 11995, with solar flux up a bit, Euro signals making it this high in
the nightmiddle, June 13 at 0620 seemed like HOA music and announcement, but
listed as RFI in Hausa, 0600-0630, 170 degrees from Issoudun. Note spelling: I
often see that site wronged (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI with good modulation, sixth day in a row, June 13 at
1318 with ``Highlight of the Week`` segment, about Israel`s nuclear program
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. 15245, V. of Korear, poor June 13 at 1339 English ID, then
joyful music by happy workers. Seldom heard on this transmission for Europe; //
11710 to NAm (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. There was a lot of sporadic-E TV and FM DX June 12, even
trans-Atlantic, but we were not well-positioned in OK for such openings. At
2113 UT I was getting the recognizable collision at almost same offset westward
on channel 3 from XHBQ and XHQ, but only briefly.
2113, also some weak Spanish audio on channel 5, which could have been from
BCN, BCS, Sonora or Sinaloa.
2113, novela video only on channel 6, no doubt from same area (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 32, KXOK-LP, and 31, KXOK-LD, Enid, back to circle in middle of
black screen and No Signal! below it starting around 0130 UT June 13 when a
storm went thru our city. STILL the case at 1755 UT, long after the brief
torment. However, I happened to be watching at 0500, when cut to their animated
ID with a training jet flying around, then back to No Signal! Evidently
programmed at TOH to insert legal IDs on autopilot, for which we are thankful.
Meanwhile, around 0500 UT I was also getting the OETA DTV translator in Ponca
City on RF channel 38 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9370, WTJC with Arabic preacher, UT Sunday June 13 at 0009, same
muffled audio and background noise as heard 23.5 hours earlier in Chinese,
likely from same ministry. Perhaps FBN has Arabic 0000-0030 and Chinese
0030-0100 daily? No such entries on their program schedule, tho they do have a
link to their Chinese site http://www.reachingtheworld.net/ where I could find
nothing readable about any SW broadcasts; and no link to Arabic from homepage
http://www.fbnradio.com/ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, WRMI with WORLD OF RADIO at new Sunday 1330 time, June 13 at
1342 check, no jamming audible but poor signal, and overload from WWCR 9980
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. Sunday June 13, another no-show by El Hugazo, ``Alo,
Presidente`` channels via CUBA vacant at 1615 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

At 2259 UTC on 9890 KHZ I tuned to VOR World Service. There was a steady
bird chirping sound in with them, almost as strong of a signal. This sound
seemed to cover 9890 to 9898 KHZ. I seem to remember this back in the 1960's,
the same sound but on various frequencies. The word was then that it was over
the horizon radar? I haven't scanned to find out if it's on other freq's now
and I haven't heard that for many years. It's fading in and out now at 2318 UT.
Just wondering.

Bolivia, 6134.83, Radio Santa Cruz, 2335-2359, Noted a
program of popular music. No comments heard
just the music. Had to notch out the station on 6135
KHz which sound like the Brazilian that operates
there. The music continued to the hour while the
interference continued too. At 2356 canned Spanish
comments from a female. Signal was impossible to hear
on the hour due to heavy hitters coming on
the air, blocking everthing. (Chuck Bolland, June 13,

Rich,
9885 has VOA Spanish at 2300, which is jammed by Cuba. If you only heard
chirping, you were lucky as usually here it`s a wall of noise.
Theory is that just one Cuban jammer puts out pulses which are individually
detectable like that, while if you are getting a bunch of them, they merge
together, overlapping. Ask Arnie? You might time how many chirps you hear per
minute as I have done in some of my monitoring of Cuban jamming. In this case
probably what we also refer to as bubbling.
As soon as VOR started using 9890, I complained about what a poor frequency
choice it was, right next to Cuban jamming and VOA. Now they`ve added 7440 (via
Ukraine apparently) from 0000, but deeper into the summer noise level.

I wonder when HCDX will get around to selling the WRTH 2010? I reminded the
