Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** ANTARCTICA [and non]. 15476, could not confirm LRA36 on the air this Friday,
Oct 8 at 1304 no carrier and no het against 15480 with fair signal from
Woofferton, i.e. Poland in Russian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 7470, Oct 8 at 1250, poor signal sure sounds like Firedrake music,
mixing with something else, but could not make it // 10500, the only definite
FD frequency. Per Aoki, the victim on 7470 is R. Free Asia in Tibetan via
Mongolia. Could have been Firedrake2, not synch, or just what CNR1 was playing
at the moment.
Quick Firedrake scan before 1300 UT Oct 8:
10500, fair at 1256
No others found up to 17 MHz
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC anomalies Oct 8: shortly after 0600, 6060 back on the air compared
to last night, but in Spanish instead of English. Spanish also on 6120; English
on 5970, 6010, 6150 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4055, Oct 8 at 0556 could not detect even a carrier, R. Verdad
presumably off again, or off early (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 3325, after several mornings in a row with a good signal, RRI
Palangkaraya missing Oct 8 at 1243, not even a carrier. Propagation not very
good, but could get Korean carriers on 2850, 3320, 3480v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI signal not so good Oct 8 at 1332, during English hour
which had been loud & clear the past few weeks, aside from self-imposed
imperfexions. Even bothered by WTWW 9479 overload (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. More sunrise MW DX: 900 kHz, Oct 8 at 1224, peppy Mexican music and
DJ trying to wake up audience with several 6:26 timechex; clock is a bit fast,
at 1229 it`s 6:30, temp only 9 C, government PSAs into one lasting several
minutes until fade 1235, about a new mural the Supreme Court has commissioned
for the 200th anniversary. I thought the artist mentioned was Ernesto
Carbonell, but that name doesn`t show in searches.
This loops WSW, so can`t be XEW, the original sole occupant of 900, long ago
downgraded to cram in more AMs around the country (will it regain dominance
once the migration to FM is complete?). The only one fitting from that timezone
(UT -6 = CST/MDT) and direxion is per WRTH 2010: XEDT, 5/1 kW, La Reina, Ciudad
Cuauht?moc, Chihuahua.
It seems we are having a pipeline from that town, as a few minutes earlier I
again had the 710 station, XEDP, like a few days ago.
Why was it so chilly in C.C.? Latitude only 28-24 North, but must be high: yes,
Wiki says 1935 m (6348.43 ft) elevation! Could that also have something to do
with how well their stations get out?
This led me to check 550, finding at 1228, another Mexican in the same zone
with 6:27 timecheck, 1228 IFE PSA, but losing out to USA. This was very likely
XEPL, La S?per Estaci?n, 5/0.15 kW, also Ciudad Cuauht?moc. IIRC heard years
ago this one had some Low German programming, since it`s a Mennonite stronghold.
Per http://mexicoradiotv.com/listchih.htm there is one more AM there, on 990,
XEER, Radio Lobo. Must seek it next time. I also checked 870 again for XETAR
but no sign of it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MOROCCO [and non]. 15340, RTM still here instead of 15341, Oct 8 at 1302 in
Arabic, atop another station with weak SAH instead of AH, presumably the only
other one scheduled, HCJB Australia, but very weak today and could not hear it
on the English frequency 15400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 7350, again very weak signal in the clear, Oct 8 at 0559 with
music, announcement, presumed R. Nigeria, Abuja, as IDed from Niger State,
Nigeria by WORLD OF RADIO listener James MacDonell:
``7350, 6 October at 0629, Radio Nigeria Abuja, with Radio Nigeria
Network News. 0700, ID as "The Voice of Unity", followed by scheduled
programme in Pidgin English. 0730, show from the network service,
"Consumer Speaks". 0800, programmes in Hausa`` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1120, KEOR, which had been fairly reliable lately, again noted
with open carrier only on caradio twice during the 20-21 UT hour Oct 7. When
noise level was least, I thought I could detect some music, possibly barely
modulated. Next check at 2304, KEOR came right on with an ID as
``Sperry-Tulsa``, R&B music, but now a fast heavy SAH, maybe 15 Hz, from KMOX.
Next2 check at 2326, KMOX is heard, still with the SAH, but no other
modulation, so KEOR is back to OC. How in the world do they expect to build and
retain an audience with intermittent modulation?
1580, KOKB, Blackwell, has been modulating whenever checked in the past week,
altho may have missed trying it over the weekend when it had been more likely
to go for hours/days with dead air. Also seems the modulation is less distorted
now (Glenn Hauser, Enid, Oct 7, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES [and non]. 9650, CRI English via CANADA, Oct 8 at 1335 still has
same low het and CCI which normally stops at 1330 when IBB Tinang finishes
secret RNW relay at 1327 in English, or lately, Indonesian. Since nothing else
is scheduled, suspect this transmitter stayed on the air even later, vs
off-frequency Sackville. CRI chatterboxes were talking about hypnotherapy.
Their opinions really matter to a worldwide audience (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** POLAND [non]. 11675, tuned in just in time Oct 8 at 1257 to hear PRES
closing English broadcast, via AUSTRIA. Good but with fading; the rest of Oct
may be our best chance for this with fall conditions, until in B-10 per
Wolfgang B?schel, this is supposed to move to 9460 as well as shift an hour
later to 13-14 UT.
DXLD reporters Gilles Letourneau in Quebec and Will F. in Pennsylvania say the
only other English from Poland has been heard surprisingly well at 1700 on
9770, also 300 degrees via Austria (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 15450, Oct 8 at 1322, VOT did not turn off its transmitter after one
or two IS iterations at close of English, but stayed on and on allowing us to
hear the full cycle of variations; good, but I feared they would not turn it
off in time for next language on another frequency, since at 1327:30 starting
inserting IDs in a Turkic language, but off at 1329*. Presumably was Kazakh
scheduled for 11880 from 1330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 15320, Friday Oct 8 at 1300, ``La Voce della Speranza`` ID in
Italian from AWR, strange as that language not scheduled here; then English ID
as Voice of Hope, introducing Mandarin, which is scheduled per Aoki, 1300-1500
via Nauen, (East) GERMANY, except for Uighur 1300-1330 Sat & Sun (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1600, Oct 8 at 1216, this frequency gave me pause in my TP bandscan,
as there was a political ad for Diane Dinesh, who is running for governor of
New Mexico, then another ad, and back to oldies; ergo, KRKE Albuquerque. After
6 am local but well before sunrise, supposedly only 84 watts on PSRA before
daytime power of 10,000 watts non-direxional, but I don`t believe it,
dominating channel for a while. Would you believe they have a CP for 50,000
watts ND daytime, but still only 175 watts at night? I believe this call
previously applied to 610, originally KGGM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific MW carrier scan Oct 8 at 1207-1210 UT on DX-398
with internal antenna only, first in LSB position: 1475 (has to be SABAH on
unique frequency), 1053, 747, 594.
Next upward in USB position, 1210-1215: 693, 774, 792, 828, 855, 864, 882, 972,
1044, 1053, 1089, 1098, 1134, 1143, 1287, 1314.
At 1220 in AM mode, could hear hets from 891 and 819 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. I seem to have better luck with 90m than 60m around sunrise;
maybe it`s a funxion of my local noise levels. Oct 8 at 1245 I do get carriers
on 4920 (India or Tibet), 4950 (Kashmir or Shanghai) and 4975 (per Aoki, Fujian
not on at this hour, just VOR Tajikistan) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17770, Oct 8 at 1424, Mideast music, YL singer, S9 peaks but deep
fades (compared to S9+20 Saudi on 17705); 1427 YL talk unseemed Arabic, and off
at 1428:35*. Only thing scheduled is Arabic from Voice of Turkey but supposed
to last until 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
