** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36, audible again Monday August 2: at 1309 vocal
music, some romantic, poor with het from 15480; still just music past 1335, as
it was relayed on FM 90.7 in Enid from the FRG-7 via my WT-601N Wireless FM
Transmitter, to the insensitive DX-390 on my breakfast table. Recheck 1414
still in but JBA as YL was talking; also there at final check 1432 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA [non]. 9955, WRMI unusually good signal atop consarned Cuban pulse
jamming vs English, UT Monday Aug 2 at 0535 with Terry Haig (Hague?)
substituting for someone who was substituting for Ian Jones, on RCI`s Maple
Leaf Mailbag ``from the cellar of the Maison de Radio-Canada``, via WRN. Was
congratulating Jose Jacob of Hyderabad but unsure how to pronounce either name,
naturally guessing Spanish for the first, while it`s really ``JOHZE``. Then had
a number game from another Indian resulting in your age in the total (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake August 3: nothing found 8-11.7 MHz before 1300, nor 12-18
MHz after 1305. Others have noted a reduxion in Firedrake activity; summer
vacation of Sound of Hope? But propagation direct from China has been subnormal.
``Jamming of FD for Xi Wang Zhi Sheng-Voice of Hope stopped from July 31.
Clearing it can receive it at each frequency. What was there in China?
17660/17640, 15970, 15140, 14960, 14900/14700, 13800, 13680, 13100, 8400 kHz,
de Hiroshi``, says S. Hasegawa to dxldyg Aug 2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5055, very poor signal in Spanish, music mix, Aug 2 at 0527. Soon
realized it was leapfrog of Cuba 5025 over 5040, and then confirmed by //
audio. This might explain some unID on 5055, if both the Cubans are strong.
Also lower leapfrog would land on 5010, leading people to hypothesize Honduras,
dream of Dominican Republic or even imagine Madagascar. So always check for
Cuban parallels, the dirty birds (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. 15590, surprised to find R. Mart? on a new frequency, Aug 2 at
1355 concluding Periodismo.com, fairly good signal with no jamming! It`s //
11845 and 11930 atop jamming, and 13820 JBA under jamming. So that makes four
frequencies at once again. Is this reflected in the low-res schedule grid at
http://www.martinoticias.com/frecuencia.aspx
? Of course not! But then, it`s dated 3/5/09. The ID at 1400 did not mention
specific SW frequencies. 15590 still going at 1455, but not at next check two
hours later. That is a VOA Greenville Spanish frequency which ends at 1300, so
a mistake, experiment, or expansion? Any other changes for RM? Need to look for
a fourth frequency at other dayparts. We`ve found at OCB HQ they haven`t a clue
about their true SW schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI at tune-in 1254 Aug 2 is stuck in audio loop about 4
times per second, sounds like ``kooch-kooch-kooch-kooch``, etc. Rather like a
2-cycle antique farm engine, idling. We were able to enjoy this nostalgia past
1300, when suddenly at 1300:45 cut to opening of English hour in progress,
program summary. Our condolences to the Japanese listeners (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 9595, R. Nikkei, poor but audible with vocal music, Japanese song Aug
2 at 1256, while 6055 had been JBA around 1240. Cuba 9600 conveniently went off
at 1256.5, helping to audiblize JOZ. Tnx to several who have confirmed it`s
still on the air earlier. Variable sign-off time is supposedly 1330 on Mondays
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBERIA. 4025-, presumed Star Radio carrier detectable Aug 2 at 0545, still
a smidgin low compared to Cuba 5025 on BFO. Yet I have seen reports of this as
4025.00. Those who get more signal than this still complain of very low
modulation. So that limits what we can report about this station. Is it usable
dentro-Liberia? Still needs work (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. 17715 // 17735, Aug 2 at 1341 in song with heavy beat, during Swahili
from V. of Africa on latest frequency pair; poor. Also had them at 0540 in
Arabic still on 9870, 9880 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Another pitiful Es opening managed to exceed 55 MHz, Aug 1 at 2230,
channel 2 analog fades in from SSW or so, Televisa net-2 promo, soon gone, tho
traces appear for several minutes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1580, KOKB Blackwell, open-carrier all weekend, was
still so Monday Aug 2 at 1305 UT, when some understations were audible with
SAHs, but nothing in Spanish. KHGG Ft Smith was plugging something today at
6:30 on sibling station KFPW 1230 --- bet it`s a silly baseball game. 1306 into
Dan Patrick show, sports talk.
BTW, be careful attributing states to stations in border towns like Fort Smith.
As I already outpointed, the inactive KYHN 1650, which made news as a giveaway
by Clear Channel, so apt to be reactivated, is clearly west of the OK/AR
border, tnx to link via radio-locator.com:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=35.27472,+-94.45972+%28KYHN-AM%29&om=1
How about KHGG? No, it`s on the east side of Fort Smith across the river,
definitely in AR, and FCC AM Query shows same site for 1230:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=35.39167,+-94.33167+%28KHGG-AM%29&om=1
By next check at 1346, KOKB had resumed modulation, distorted as usual with ad
break in another sports talk show, so I check sibling station 1020 KOKP Perry,
which never breaks down like this for hours or days at a time. It`s not // ---
then I find that 1580 is running 19 seconds behind 1020. That could explain a
lot, like using an internet feed from Stillwater/Perry to Blackwell, so if
there is a glitch, and there always will be sooner or later, bang, there goes
the modulation on 1580 until someone can press the right buttons, somewhere.
You`d think they`d use the other ``triple-play``, 105.1 KOSB Perry as feeder,
but maybe it does not make it reliably to Blackwell. Apparently from website,
http://www.tripleplaysportsradio.com/ the stations sometimes split for local
ballgames: ``Perry Maroons on 1020 KOKP, Blackwell Maroons on 1580 KOKB, and
Guthrie Bluejays on 105.1 KOSB, OSU Cowboy Sports on 1580 KOKB`` (Glenn Hauser,
Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Intrastate analog low-power TVDX, August 2: at 1502 UT, Univisi?n
OKC morning tropo boost, still in on 36 and weaker 48; also GCN on 19. Weaker
sigs lacking horizontal sync on 35, probably Ada KSBI as recently logged, and
on 44, which per W9WI.com would be K44BQ, Ardmore, with TBN, 54.1 kW. So I also
checked RF 12 for possible KXII, and there was a DTV signal but too weak;
rotating to Wichita at 1508, also weak, and could not really tell which one was
in, or both. Back toward OKC, KOCO-7 at the moment was too weak to decode,
unusual, being ducted out, QRMed or QRP? While neighboring V`s, KWTV-9 and
KETA-13 were OK (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 15385, REE weekly Sephardic emission, Monday Aug 2 at 1432 poor with
music, 1453 closing mentioning 0115 Tuesdays on 11795, when we can expect much
better reception now that it has been reactivated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12160, WWCR missing August 1 at 1740, allowing CODAR swooshes to
arrive unimpeded. WWCR still plenty audible on other three frequencies: 15825
Fibber McGee, 13845 PMS, 9980 PPPP.
WORLD OF RADIO 1523 reconfirmed on 9980, Sunday August 1 at 2348 check, but
signal was only fair instead of monsterblaster earlier in the day.
6940, Aug 2 at 0530, oldtime radio show starring Ray Milland in ``Trouble with
Women``, probably politically incorrect these days. Marginal signal fades in
and out, could be pirate, but it`s really // WWCR 4840 leapfrog over 5890,
another 1150 kHz higher. Carrier audible even with max attenuation on the
FRG-7, so I think it is really a transmitted spur (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. Just in case, checked again later Sunday August 1 whether
``Al?, Presidente`` had started via CUBA. No, not at 1740 either on 12010,
13750 or 17750 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
