Warm greetings to all of you !
I did some listening on Saturday night through early Sunday morning as to
follow the Hell Week CME contest on ABDX and bagged the following South
Americans. The most impressive one was YVKE-550 as it is usually weaker than
both YVKS-750 and YVNM-780 and is ONLY heard during the regular fall and winter
months... The outage of former semi-local CHLN-550 in Trois-Rivi?res
definitively helped ! But what helped the most was the outage of the powerline
buzz that is runining DX on all LW, MW and SW bands day and night which
thanksfully stops occasionally allowing for the nice DX that I used to report
often and that I`m still enjoying at least sometimes. Enough chatter, into the
logs:
550 VENEZUELA YVKE Mundial, Caracas, DF JUN 20 0618 - trad. YV mx selecgtions
with patriotic comments in between, mention of "la patria" and "la revoluci?n".
Fair with QRM from WGR in Buffalo, NY. SINPO 33432. (Chiochiu-QC)
760 COLOMBIA HJAJ, RCN Cadena Bas?ca, Barranquilla JUN 20 0720 - Very
tentative with man talking slowly in apparent Spanish trhough residual nulled
WJR (Detroit, MI). Almost impossible copy. SINPO 12421. (Chiochiu-QC)
780 VENEZUELA YVNM, Radio Coro, Coro, estado Falc?n JUN 20 0415 - Poor to
fair at tune-in and fading up to very good with some QRN, in Chicago`s QRM
null: "El mejor de la balada" program with old-fashionned tropical sounding
Spanish romantic songs, caught some beautiful ones on tape. Ended around 0430
UTC, then Ruta M?sical Siete Ochenta. + JUN 20 0715 - End of a Dominican
merengue, then canned ID "Esta es la Ruta M?sical Siete Ochenta por la AM Radio
Coro, siempre en primer lugar" followed by Lalo Rodriguez 80`s salsa classic
number "Tu Me Quemas"... During the Lalo Rodriguez number, the signal was
fading down from fair to very poor. SINPO 44322. (Chiochiu-QC)
Additional comments:
All in all, I have a full C90 tape with the peaks in the strength of Venezuelan
Falconiano 780 kHz biggie and also 2 or 3 segments from Mundial YVKE airchecked.
About those airchecks, I have a lil` problem with the soundcard of my computer,
but as soon as I get it fixed, I will forward them to some of you. If you are
interested, please drop me an e-mail.
There was only one other Spanish signal noted on 890, but it sounded like the
Massachussets station in a suburb near Boston.
As far as FM goes, I had a fairly big opening to Kansas on the 17th of June
with huge signals on 93.1, 93.3 and 100.3, but I won`t report on it. I`m
waiting for something in Spanish or Caribbean English, like Florida or the
Bahamas to report it.
This report is brought to you by Bogdan Alexandru Chiochiu, happily DXing from
his homeland of Pierrefonds (Montreal`s West Island), Quebec, Canada using the
Sanyo MCD-S830 boombox along with the Australian homemade PK AM loop
May the good DX be with you !
Bogdan Chiochiu
Btw.: When is the headline for the Hell Week CME, today or tomorrow evening at
0000 UTC ? June 22 is tonight at 0000 GMT (2000 EDT), so I`m a bit confused
!... Well...

** ALBANIA. Generally poor reception, especially from Europe, June 21 led me to
expect to strain to hear R. Tirana English at 1430 on 13755; but instead, good
signal S9+12 at 1428 tune-in to worn-out IS recording; they never back-time it,
so it`s interrupted at 1430 for sign-on music and announcements. There was
slight QRM from 13760 North Korea, and 13740 CRI via CUBA splash.
I am pleased finally to hear the current A-10 English schedule announced after
at least a sesquiweek of reciting the expired B-09 schedule. To celebrate, I
will quote the now correct schedule dated 28 March to 30 October 2010:
``1845-1900 to UK on 13640, 7520
2000-2030 on 7465
To USA [what about Canada? CIRAF 9 is an official target, Maritimes]:
1430-1500 13755
2000-2030 13640
0030-0045 9860
0145-0200 7425
0230-0300 7425
0330-0400 7425
Monday-Saturday, and to North America, Monday-Sunday``.
There, Canada gets included. But Monday-Sunday does not mean 7 days a week! It
means the first broadcast is on Monday at 1430 and the last one UT Sunday until
0400, really taking a full day off.
1432 program summary and into news; first item about a deal with Croatia so
visas not required of Albanians during holidays starting July 1 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. Sporadic-E analog TV DX, channels 2-6, mainly from Ontario June
18-19. Full report at http://www.w4uvh.net/ghtvfmdx.txt
(Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake June 21:
9000, JBA at 1343
14700, VP at 1354 after hearing 14980. Extreme disparity between these two
signals on nearby frequencies, due to?? Radically different transmitter
sites/propagation paths, powers, azimuths? Were // synchro 14700 still audible
at 1408, 1414 after 14980 quit, 1434
14960, fair at 1434. Maybe it shifted from 14980 at 1413? Unchecked
14980, VG at 1354, also 1405-1413* abrupt cutoff as I listened
None others audible up to 19 MHz by 1358 or later
CNR1 jamming:
15530, June 21 at 1356 with motorboating noise added but victim inaudible. VG
// 15285 CNR1 jammer without motorboating. 1400 3-pips, full timesignal
truncated? Both that and the noise cut off the air at exactly the same time, so
emanating from single transmitter. Unheard here before, but Aoki is right on
what is happening:

4113N VOTi a10 Jun.15- (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Surprise2, RHC Spanish on 9112 kHz, which was inbooming the morning of
June 20 as in previous report, is missing June 21 around 1345, but 11760 is
back.
The RHC English webpage
http://www.radiohc.cu/ingles/c_frecuencia/frecuencias.htm
is finally accessible June 21, and tho autodated currently, still displays long
gone English schedule, such as 13790 which was replaced by 5040 months ago,
ditto 6140 with 5970, in usual confusing format:
``R?o de Janeiro 13790 22 23?24 UTC
Am?rica del Norte 6140 / 6000 / 6060 31 / 49 05?07/01? 05/ 05-07 UTC
San Francisco 6010 49 05-07 UTC``
Don`t you believe it! And it simply ignores the 2030-2100, now 2000-2100
broadcast on 11760, which it seems has always been marginal, on the verge of
deletion? A dress rehearsal?
There is another link, to DXers Unlimited,
http://www.radiohc.cu/ingles/c_unlimited/unlimited.htm
but the latest script is from 28-29 November 2009! Arnie does slightly better
by posting some of them occasionally on his blog, but why not on the RHC site
itself? Because it`s AFU!
OTOH, the link to English programming
http://www.radiohc.cu/ingles/c_programacion/programacion.htm
appears to be the new one-hour-only schedule with exact times at 2300-2400, as
if that were the first broadcast, repeated over and over. It shows DXer`s [sic]
Unlimited Sundays at 2312, Tuesdays at 2341 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI in stark contrast to yesterday, just barely detectable
carrier June 21 at 1347, not 9525. Further confirmed to be on the air at 1412
by producing het against weak but audible CRI Russian on 9525.0 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Lots of TV and FM DX June 18-20, from Yucat?n, Tamaulipas,
Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, Sonora, Baja California Norte: fully detailed
reports at http://www.w4uvh.net/ghtvfmdx.txt
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Have not reported on the anomalous stations lately, so as of the
afternoon of June 21:
1120, KEOR Sperry-Catoosa-Tulsa is still off the air.
1580, KOKB Blackwell is still on the air with overmodulation distortion,
sportstalk // 1020 KOKP Perry.
97.7, ``WECS`` part 15 Enid is still on the air, but instead of kids we have a
teacher speaking coherently in a 1-minute loop, no made-up call ID from her,
but just ``Voice of Emmanuel Christian School``. Range remains a few blox on
caradio, no problem for DX beyond that, and I got several from Mexico, USA on
97.7.
99.9, GCN Pirate in Enid is still active. Local hash/mixing products can
overwhelm it depending on antenna orientation with DX-398. Better on caradio,
but there are dead zones (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. While DXing for Es from far beyond, AZ, CA and NW
Mexico, UT Monday June 21 at 0019 I come upon an interesting show on 99.5,
fadey signal which might have been Es, but it stays in at average level, so
it`s just the turbulent atmosphere on a hot summer afternoon. Interview about
John Ford`s Western films, and Ben Johnson, who died in Pawhuska [OK, Osage
country]. 0023 sad song ``The Campfire Has Gone Out`` by Don Edwards. 0029 show
ID as ``The Cowboy Corner``, ad for NationalCowboyMuseum.org in OKC, feedyards
in Hereford TX, a town on US 60 like Enid, but stinx a lot more. Brits please
note: pronounced Her-ferd.
Anyhow, Googling on the program name finds it on some 160 stations, originates
in east Texas, but damned if I can find an affiliate list, let alone a website
of its own. Interviewer/host was named Red, i.e. Red Steagall, also with lots
of hits on him.
But this must have been via KXBL 99.5 Henryetta OK, which has a country format,
7-8 pm CDT Sundays like on some other stations. Given the topic, I at first
guessed it might have been ``Chronicles of the Old West``, as on KGGF 690,
Sunsounds of Arizona, but evidently it`s the competition. Worth locating on
some other station with better reception or webcast (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Observations about DTV peculiarities from here and
neighboring states: http://www.w4uvh.net/ghtvfmdx.txt
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. My first DTV ID by sporadic E, WBRA Roanoke VA, channel 3;
miscellaneous FM DX from SC, TX, AZ, CA, June 18-20:
