ANGOLA 4949.76 R Nacional Angola Afro Hi-life mx at 0014 t/in. Then
long tlk by deep-voiced M in PT 0016-0030. Difficult to copy but did hear
ment of Nacional, Africa. W joined in briefly at 0021. 0030 Canned anmnt
by M, prob. a promo w/ment of "horas" and Nacional. Then studio M continued
to 0034. Hi-life mx again, and more tlk w/occas. live rpts. 0100 four time
tick, then M w/ID. Same thing at 0200. Very very noisy. Finally seemed to
have increased their modulation as its now audible. (28 July)
BOLIVIA 6134.81 R Santa Cruz 0912-0919 series of pleasant CP Banjo and
W vcl songs. 0919 live studio M anncr w/TC 3 min slow and ID and ment of
studios. Into lcl nx by same M. 0922 ment of onda media and onda corta,
and ended w/ID. Played one song, then more nx. Ranchera at 0928. Dropped
down dramatically after this. Clear and strong w/100% copy before. Still
audible though at 0950 t/out. Kind of a strange format to have 3-5 minute
nx segments interspersed w/mx. (30 July)
AUSTRALIA 2368.5 R. Symban 0950 just strains of audio; mx. Getting a
little better by 1000. M anncr at 1003. More mx and tlk. Peaked around
1010, then dropped back down. Nowhere near strong enough to copy. (30
July)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3915 R. Fly 1002 nice lively Island mx. 1004 jingle
by M w/W in background and ment of FM, Fly, and "power", followed by EG tlk
by M DJ w/chart position in countdown pgm and tlk abt songs/artists.
Massive splatter QRM from Bible study Ham net starting up on 3918, so tuned
out. (31 July)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3334.96 R. East Sepik 1007-1015 World nx by M. EG
sound bite by W abt Pakistan flooding at 1011. 1015 ended w/"That is the
NBC National news". Short promo or somesuch, then live W studio anncr
w/ment of pgm of NBC nx, and canned pgm intro by M anncr w/ment of National
Broadcasting Commission. PD tlk by M, brief children singing, then tlk by
different M, and also discussion excerpt. Children again at 1026 and more
tlk. Pretty good signal but w/some CHU splash. Glad to see it back. (31
July)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA 5960 R Fly 1030 Mx pgm continuing that was hrd earlier
on 3915. 1033 M in EG w/ment of studios, a "problem in Port Moresby",
"Mystery Song". Couple songs in a row, then M DJ back w/song anmnts
including what was coming up, jingle and canned anmnts, then live M
returned. Finally lost around 1125. A lot of lcl noise. (31 July)
INDONESIA 4604.93 RRI Serui 0954 pleasant soft song. Went over ToH.
1004-1010 M anncr tlk w/ment of Papua, Jakarta. 2 min. canned tlk by M
w/slight echo and some mx bridges, then nonstop mx from 1012-1029. 1029
different M anncr in deep voice w/quick ID at beginning, mx bridge, then
previous M anncr returned. Not that bad of a signal and should get better
in the next month or two. (1 August)

** CHINA. Firedrake August 1: nothing found 8-18 MHz before 1300.
13970, however, a well-known Firedrake frequency, had open carrier at S9+10
with flutter, August 1 at 1336, but no music until 1338*. CNR1 jammers were
audible on the usual 11, 12 MHz channels.
15562, August 1 at 1335, weak het against strong Portugal to NAm 15560. Suspect
it is ChiCom jamming against V. of Tibet, on today`s frequency via Tajikistan,
vs 15556 yesterday. RDPI is on 15560 only on Saturdays and Sundays, except for
``special events`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. Nothing Asiatic making it on 60m at 1159 August 1, such as RRI
Serui 4605 or Makassar 4750; traces of a signal on 5020, however, presumably
Solomons. My typo in previous report about Ron Howard not hearing Serui on July
31: 4604.90 was the frequency, not 4605.90. Anyhow, it was back August 1 when
Dave Valko in PA heard it around 1000 on 4604.93.
9680, August 1 at 1225 choral music sounds so much like N. Korea on 9666 that
they almost seem // for a moment; then 9680 is more like Christian praise. Is
KNLS reactivated as scheduled? No, not // remnant on 7355, and 9680 soon into
Indonesian announcement at 1229, RRI.
9525.9, VOI was VG as usual in Japanese, then English during the 1300 hour
August 1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. No R. Nikkei on 3925, 6055 or 9595 at 1200 August 1, but 1200 is the
nominal sign-off on Sundays, so may have just missed it. Were others still
hearing it earlier on July 31 or August 1? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. TV DXers are lamenting that the Es season is `over` and apparently
quit looking out for openings. No one had alerted on the WTFDA list or TV-FM
Skip Log, when July 31 at 2155 UT I found one in progress from the south,
Mexico analog:
2155 on 2, a mix of stations, including a game show, something on 4
2201 on 4, novela
2204 on 2, star logo, Canal de las Estrellas promo, for Televisa M?sica, Arm
and Hammer ad, IMX promo. Could be flagship XEW-TV DF
2206 on 3, ads // 2, net-2
2207 on 4, movie from net-5
2209 on 4, CCI with net-2 gameshow featuring lucha libre characters, about
dating? Audio on 4 and 2 an echo apart
2216 on 4, adstring --- seems this show is about 50% commercials, including Tio
Nacho. At this time the DX Sherlock 6m map did not show any N-S paths, just
E-W, some contacts between OK and S California.
2223, opening is weakening, and I am out for a sesquihour, to hear Sen. Coburn
rail against Big Government, in the Enid ballpark at 102 degrees in the shade,
free hotdogs and lemonade sponsored by radical-right ``thinktank`` Oklahoma
Council on Public Affairs (OCPA).
UT Sunday August 1:
0140, ch 2-4 with Spanish in and out from southwest
0159 on 4, Televisa promo
0200 on 3, heavy almost-zero CCI beat bars, i.e. XHQ Culiac?n vs XHBC Mexicali.
More often than not, these two are fighting it out instead of one or the other
0207 on 3, XHBC has local news, large 3 bug in LR, tu canal
0211 on 6, something beginning to show, 0218 drama in English, no doubt XETV
Tijuana
0222 on 4, quiz show in Spanish
0223 on 3, XHBC still in with news, less CCI
0225 on 6, ad in English; 0230 6CW bug in LR = XETV; checked FM briefly at 0240
but nothing
0302 on 3, XHBC still in but weaker
0324 on 3, novela maybe still XHBC, weakening, about gone
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1523 may have been missing from WWCR 12160, Sat at
1630, but it was still there UT Sunday August 1 at 0230 on 4840; however, just
as I spot-checked at 0242 I heard another voice mixing with mine for a moment.
Final repeat should be Sunday 2330 on 9980 (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. It`s Sunday August 1 at 1535, so which frequency will WINB be on
today? 13570, VG signal with YL gospel huxter. So at least during this hour,
WINB has three different frequencies depending on day of week. What
flexibility! Rivals WHRI, meeting the needs of clients: M-F new 9335, Sat 9265,
Sun 13570 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. El Hugazo missing again for the second Sunday, no signals
on 17750, 13750, 12010, August 1 at 1535 check, by when ``Alo, Presidente``
would nominally start; tho who knows, might show up later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 1580: following Saturday July 31 capture between 13 and
14 UT of ``La Zona`` in Spanish, I tried equally hard to hear it on Sunday
August 1 during the same hour: no sign of Spanish talk or Mexican music. This
is *very* strange --- as if the Spanish station is on the air only on Saturday
mornings.
What I did hear, under the open carrier from KOKB Blackwell OK: 1240 UT, only
English station(s). 1300 KHGG Van Buren-Ft Smith AR dominant with ID. 1312 Fox
Sports Radio call-in with 877 number, presumably KHGG mixing with something
else in English; Auto-Zone ad. 1327, still no Spanish. 1330, Ft Smith cuts away
from sports for gospel huxter, ``Searching the Scriptures``, I think. Still
some CCI, probably KREL Colorado, no Spanish. 1347 preacher mixing with some
music, also religious? No Spanish, nor by 1400.
As for my previous comment about 1580 applications in New Mexico, on the NRC-AM
list, tnx to Evan R. Newlon who replied, ``Glenn, I'm in Albuquerque - 1580 is
silent here, 1900Z, 1 pm MDT. You are right, there used to be a station on
1580, I don't know where it went. I should be able to hear the station if it is
in Santa Fe, but frequency is inactive right now. WB5HAM, Evan``.
And to Doug Smith, W9WI, who replied: ``The 1580 station in Albuquerque moved
to 1600 in February 2000 (as Glenn alludes to). There is one open application
for 1580 in Santa Fe (another one has been marked "Ineligible", haven't seen
that before. I presume that means the FCC determined the applicant was not
eligible to hold a broadcast license -- not a citizen? An application for 1580
in Roswell, NM has been dismissed.)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
