Bolivia, 6134.838, Radio Santa Cruz, 1020-1030, Noted
a female and male in a language
type lesson. At 1024 canned promos and ID heard.
Signal kept improving as it became
later from a poor to a fair level. (Chuck Bolland,
November 16, 2010)
Peru, 6019.276v, Radio Victoria, 1028-1040, Noted the
usual religious broadcast with the
male named Miranda. However this was different as
Miranda preached in Spanish and
a second fellow translated into another language,
possibly one of the vernaculars.
Signal was fair once tuned in properly using LSB. I
noticed a drifting upward as time passed.
This was only a couple of cycles from 6019.272 to
6019.276 KHz. (Chuck Bolland, November
16, 2010)
Russia, 6075, Radio Rossii, 1040-1050, Noted persons
in Russian language comments with
local popular music periodically. Signal was
threshold. (Chuck Bolland, November 26, 2010)
Indonesia, 4750, RRI Makassar, 1053-1105 Noted music
at tune in which was immediately followed
by a female in Indonesian language comments until the
hour (1100). It seems like the same
female continues talking after the hour, but the is
threshold making it difficult to distinguish the
different individuals, if any? (Chuck Bolland,
November 16, 2010)
Thailand, 7255, Radio Thailand, 1123-1130, Noted a
male in Cambodian Language comments.
At 1129 bridge music followed by ID and schedule in
English. Then dead air for a moment
followed by VOA in Indonesian. Signal was good.
(Chuck Bolland, November 16, 2010)
Russia, 7205, Voice of Russia, Chita-Aramanov,
1132-1145, Noted a male and female in
English language conversation about food or cooking.
Later other topics are discussed.
Signal was fair. (Chuck Bolland, November 16, 2010)
WR-G31DDC
When tuning in Radio Rossii, I tried the WJ HF1000 and
the JRC NRD545 receivers too.
All three seemed to get the same results.

Hi!
In the last days I have been listening to an UNID station on 1035 KHz with non
stop oldies music. No Id heard until now.
It could be Portugal testing?
Any idea will be highly welcome!

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, cannot detect even a carrier from LRA36, Nov 16 at 1411
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 5770-5825, OTH radar pulsing, assumed from here, Nov 16 at 1348, just
far enough away not to impede yet still unheard AFN; see GUAM (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 16:
8400, very poor with flutter at 1350. Not heard in the 9-14 MHz range before
1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [non]. While CRI English 15230 via Sackville, CANADA was missing
yesterday before 1500, perhaps for a monitoring check, it`s back today, Nov 16
from 1405 onwards, still at 1443, and way atop RHC which also started using
15230 about a week ago, Commies vs Commies. Possibly Arnie picked the frequency
in order to provoke me to exclaim that, should it amuse him (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. While 11760 was vacant Sunday Nov 14 at 2130, checked again on Monday
Nov 15 at 2127 I am hearing RHC wrapping up French, and then at 2130 reopening
another semihour of same, mentioning that the temp is 26. Meanwhile, 11770 and
11730 were in Spanish. The hours announced for French were 1930-2000 and
2100-2200, only.
That contradicts the current online schedule presented in Spanish for French:
Am?rica Central 11760 25 21-21:30 UTC
Europa 11770 25 19:30-20 UTC
Banda Tropical 5040 60 01:30?02 UTC
While the RHC website French page itself has yet another version, and claims to
be as of 8 November 2010:
COUVERTURE Fr?quences KHZ Banda Metros HORAIRES
Am?rique du Sud 15370 19 22:30 - 23:00
Am?rique Centrale 1760 25 21:00 - 21:30 [typo for 11760]
Cara?be 5040 60 01:30 - 02:00 TU
Europa [sic] 11770 25 19:30 - 20:00 TU
http://www.radiohc.cu - - 19:30 - 20:00 21:00 - 22:00
(? partir de lundi 8 novembre 2010)
The pdf version Arnie sent Wolfgang B?schel shows:
TRANSMISIONES EN IDIOMA FRANC?S (FRAN?AIS)
Europa 11770 Khz /25 m 19:30 - 20:00
Norte, Centro y Sudam?rica 11760 Khz /25 m 21:00 - 21:30
Sudam?rica 15370 Khz /19 m 22:30 - 23:00
Banda Tropical 5040 Khz /60 m 01:30 - 02:00
So it seems that the 2130-2200 portion of French is supposed to be on their
webcast only, but goes out sometimes on SW anyway (or maybe cut off sometime
after 2130?) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also CHINA
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, Nov 15 at 2212, poor signal with English
conversation between YL and a mumbler, who sure sounds like Tony Al?mo, but
can`t be positive. This was the usual time for him on R. Africa, prolonged
despite his arrest, trial, convixion and sentencing to 175 years for child
sexual abuse, eventually leading to cancellation upon WWCR and a year later,
WINB, but who cares in EqG? Or Cupertino? This website linx to a few recent
stories on him, including the tough time he`s having in Tucson federal prison:
http://www.tonyalamonews.com/
BTW, no hint now or anytime of R. Inconfid?ncia, Brasil, recently reactivated
on 15190; is anyone hearing it any more, or is it gone again? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 5765, no trace of USB from AFN, Nov 16 at 1347 when it normally should
be audible. Hope it is not being closed down too like Italy, Iceland, Puerto
Rico, Hawaii previously (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA [and non]. 6280, AIR news, Nov 15 at 2201, fair signal and probably
our best winter B-season bet for the 2045-2230 GOS in English; conveniently
compared to Cairo 6270 in English, AIR had weaker signal but stronger
modulation. 6280 is 500 kW, 320 degrees from Bengaluru to Europe but also
USward, equally for the 1745-1945 English and 1945-2045 Hindi. Aoki shows 6280
also bears on UT Fri and Sat only from 2200, a 300 kW Sound of Hope from
Taiwan, and consequent ChiCom jamming, likely to mar AIR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, after missing for three days, VOI back on air in time for
Tuesday`s Exotic Indonesia hookup with RRI Banjarmasin, Nov 16: very good
signal but not checked until 1351, this week instead of YL, OM host in Jak,
usual OM co-host in Banj, referring listeners to http://www.voi.co.id to listen
to show, at 8-9 pm WIT, 9-10 pm CIT. (Checked later, it forwards to the English
page, and autolaunches live stream greeting, plus live streaming with English
ID, music at 1859. No IADs or crackles! 1901 ID with three imaginary SW
frequencies, and English program for Wednesday Nov 17 already with regular
features, no Exotic repeat.)
Reception there ought to be better also at 13-14 UT than 9526-, which still has
intermittent audio dropouts (IADs) --- I counted nine of them during a
one-minute period, spaced very irregularly; and there were almost continuous
crackles in addition from the Banjarmasin feed. Finished with a songs from Jak,
then from Banj and one could tell the difference, the latter with IADs plus
crackles. Finally, Jak guy said goodbye from the fourth floor of the RRI
building. Continued on air past 1400 after canned YL ID in English, into
Indonesian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 1060, Nov 16 around 0115 on caradio I notice a fast SAH
between Mexican music, surely 100 kW XEEP Radio Educaci?n, which per WRTH is a
rare remaining clear channel station with no other Mexicans on 1060; in fact,
only XERF 1570 is likewise, since the former big commercial clears on 540, 730,
900, 1220 have long since been broken down.
SAH is with religion in English, presumably WLNO New Orleans. Which one is that
far off, or is one plus, one minus? SW counterpart XEPPM 6185 is significantly
off to the low side, always producing fast SAH with Vatican or Brasil. At 0300
recheck, now only Brother Scare to be heard, via WLNO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MOROCCO. Since Harold Frodge heard languages other than Arabic around
1445-1500 from RTM 15341.1 on Nov 2, I have been trying to duplicate that feat.
Since his date was a Tuesday, I am especially hopeful on Nov 16, monitoring
from 1442. Has het from presumed HCJB Australia 15340, tho not making it on
their other frequency 15400.
But only hear a speech in Arabic, briefly interrupted by another Arabic voice
at 1459. Then speech continues until 15341.1 abruptly cuts off at 1505:35*. I
stand by for it to come up on 15345 instead. It takes less than a semiminute,
carrier on from *1506:04, much more quickly than a previous date --- but, no
modulation applied until 1512:05! Still the speech in Arabic. Is there any
technical reason why after a rapid 3.9-kHz frequency change, modulation cannot
be resumed immediately? Or just more slopperation from Nador. If I were the
speechifier, would be upset about such an interruption, but I bet he is
blissfully unaware of it, not an SWL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 9555, Nov 15 at 2207, Arabic talk with big reverb, either
artificially imposed or over PA to an echoey plaza. It`s BSKSA Riyadh, 500 kW
at 295 degrees, per HFCC, First Program at 1800-2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 17715, Nov 16 at 1415, pop music in ELO-style, poor signal;
1436 now I can tell it`s VOA news, still poor compared to 17705 Saudi. 17715 is
350 degrees from BOTSWANA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 18530, Nov 16 at 1439, Brother Scare on WINB 2 x 9265, poor with no
S-meter deflexion, but unmistakably the wacky Walterbore (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1460, Nov 16 at 1329 UT, PSA for 4-H, today`s hi temp to be 58
degrees, ``southeast Kansas` sports leader is ESPN 1460``, back to Mike & Mike
show. Nothing heard in Spanish from KZUE El Reno OK, even when nulling ESPN.
NRC AM Log shows KKOY Chanute KS as TLK/SPT but does not list ESPN for it. FCC
AMQ shows KKOY as non-direxional day and nite, but cuts from 57 watts night to
1000 watts day, November sunrise being 1300 UT. KZUE has the same transition
time from 137 to 500 watts. In full daytime groundwave mode we only hear much
closer KZUE here from Radio Road. Recheck near low noon at 1820 UT, KZUE
Spanish music dominates, but when nulled there is a fast SAH of 15-20 Hz,
surely KKOY (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. 6297, Nov 16 at 0656 the carrier is on, 0659:44 NA
starts by military band, noticed some CW QRM, brief sign-on by YL in Arabic,
presumed Hassania dialect for SASASAM, 0701:07 already into soporific wake-up
OM chanting as always at the outset.
On the home page http://www.elpais.com/global/ as of Nov 16 there are several
stories about Western Sahara, Moroccan intervention, Spaniard killed, etc. On
Nov 14, our correspondent in Madrid, Marty Delf?n, wrote:
``Hi Glenn, The situation in Western Sahara is getting worse each day for
journalists. Today, Morocco expelled Radio Exterior de Espa?a's reporter
Guillaume Bontoux, of the French service, from La?youne. On Thursday, they
threw out three reporters from the private radio network SER, who were
transmitting live from the Western Sahara capital. The current Zapatero
Socialist government is taking a very lame position over the human rights
abuses that are taking place among the Sahrawi people in its former Spanish
colony as not to hurt the big business Madrid enjoys with Rabat`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ZAMBIA. I`ve had some reports that 1Africa, CVC has shifted from 13590 to
13600, but yet to be heard here. 13590 used to appear both at night and in day,
and it was scheduled for B-10 all the way from 06 to 20. The ``shortwave
frequency change update`` at http://www.1africa.tv/ still shows 13590 as the
``Nigeria antenna``, yet displays times in CAT of UT+2, wrong for Nigeria UT+1.
BTW, 1Africa now emits the slogan ``Extreme Faith`` --- isn`t there enough
extremism in the world already?
13590 has collisions with CRI, VOR, DW, during parts of the span, worst of all
BBC DRM via Sri Lanka at 14-17, while 13600 has collisions with Iran, Bulgaria
(DRM if on), China, VOA; yet there is nothing in HFCC at any time on 13595,
hint hint. Except DRM slop.
At 1409 Nov 16, nothing on 13600, weak unID on 13590. At 1737 Nov 16, gospel
rock on 13590, so CVC is definitely back there, nothing on 13600 (except CODAR
up to 13605). (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 639, quite a het against WWLS 640 on the caradio, which is not
too dominant here at night; could not tell on which side, around 0115 UT Nov 16
as I was on the way to Golden Corral`s free meal for veterans. At first I
thought it could be another off-frequency Cuban, matching the het on 860 from
861, and also on 530 from LYQ 529; and quickly 10-stepping thru the band did
not hear any other hets. But lacking so far any reports of Cuba-off, now I
assume it was really a TA signal, the powerhouses listed being Cyprus, Czechia,
Spain, Iran (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. TP MW carrier search Nov 16 at 1316-1322 UT, downward on DX-398
in USB mode, 9 kHz steps, BFO slightly off-tuned for easy spotting: 1566, 1377,
1287, 1188, 1179, 1134, 1116, 1008, 972, 828, 774, 747, 594 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 6074, Nov 16 after monitoring INDONESIA, quickly tuned
here by 1400 but in time only hear the final K of 8GAL`s hand-keyed V/CQ
marker, while 6075 R. Rossii motorboat was not so strong vs. Chinese starting
up, Taiwan and/or ChiCom jamming. The second time recently 8GAL noted before
rather than after 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** ARGENTINA. 15344.9, Nov 16 at 2158, RAE`s haunting IS and IDs, fluttery
averaging S9+10, but sounds far-away and other-worldly; 2200 accurate
timesignal, music, opening Spanish. Morocco not a problem, either already off
or outfaded earlier. Only a sesquimonth to go before RAE has to close down
unless it gets paltry funding to expel the PCBs from its transmitter (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA [non]. 13590, Nov 16 at 2207, fair signal with news in Strine, so
could it be CVC Zambia, confirmed earlier today still on this frequency? No,
now it`s Radio Australia with news of an accident in the Oz Antarctic, death of
an aboriginal leader; 2209 references http://radioaustralianews.net.au This
transmission is 22-24 UT, 100 kW due west via KHBN PALAU, a.k.a. T8WH Belau
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHILE. 17680, Nov 16 at 1202, CVC La Voz opening medical advice show in
Spanish, ``Anti-Virus``. At least, I think it`s medical; S9+18 at usual
excellent level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, yesterday I thought I was still hearing convicted
and incarcerated child sex molester Tony Alamo on Radio Africa. Today, November
16 it`s definite. Tune-in at 2153 to hear YL giving area code 479 phone and fax
numbers. Close, but no cigar, as 479 is NW Arkansas including Fort Smith, not
SW Arkansas, Texarkana. But she`s immediately followed by the mumbler saying
``Pastor Tony Alamo . . . God bless you``. Then canned ID by R. Africa
announcer spelling out postal address in Accra, G-H-A-N-A (was my hearing
Zimbabwe before mistaken, or alternative?), ``thank you for listening to Radio
Africa``. 2157 it`s back to Tony Alamo introducing another of his numbered
programs, in the two-hundreds, I think he said. Interesting to compare signal
with 15195, YFR via Ascension, about to go off; Africa had less flutter (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 7550, AIR GOS, Nov 16 at 2225 during sporting segment, presumably
about cricket as little else matters. Weaker here than // 6280 as reported
yesterday; also on weaker // 9445 but out of synch with the others.
HFCC has both 6280 and 9445 as 500 kW, 320 degrees from Bengaluru, but no
listing for 7550, a frequency certainly in use previously and now.
The handy but hit-and-miss archive of B-10 schedules from miscellaneous sources
at http://www.bclnews.it/portal/ does not include AIR B-10, nor for A-10 either.
Strangely, DX Asia does not have B-10 info yet either, but for A-10
http://dxasia.info/india-language
showed:
7550 GOS-4 1745 1945 N-W.Africa External
7550 French 1945 2030 N-W.Africa External
but not for the GOS-5 2045-2230 emission.
However, Jose Jacob`s version, also for A-10 as of June, no B-10:
http://www.qsl.net/vu2jos/es/time.htm
``2045-2230 English 6280(B) 7550(Kh) 9445(B) 9940 9950*(Kh) UK & W. Europe``
with 7550 in bold red as a ``late change``. Kh means Khampur site near Delhi.
Alokesh Gupta`s list is even older, for B-09, as of 13 November 2009,
http://alokeshgupta.googlepages.com/freq.htm
maybe not meant to be accessed now? But bookmarked:
already had 7550: ``7550 250 Delhi (Khampur) 1745-1945 English, 1945-2045
Hindi, 2045-2230 English (Europe) (ex 7410)``
AIR`s own website http://www.allindiaradio.org/external.html
is undated and apparently not meant to be current; it does show frequencies for
most of the broadcasts but they are missing for this one, GOS No. V, at
0215-0400 IST!
The B-10 Prime Time Shortwave by country list as of Nov 8:
http://www.primetimeshortwave.com/country.txt
India All India R. 2045-2230 Eu 6280, 7550, 9445, 9950 drm
India All India R. 2045-2230 Oc 9910, 11620, 11715
EiBi by time as of November 9 has all three of the Eu frequencies as Bengaluru:
http://www.eibispace.de/dx/bc-b10.txt
``2045 2230 IND All India Radio DIGITAL E Eu 9950k
2045 2230 IND All India Radio GOS E Eu 7550b 9445b 6280b
Oc 9910a 11715k
FE 11620b
SEA 11620k``
Aoki http://www.geocities.jp/binewsjp/bib10.txt
shows 6280, 7550 and 9445 all as B-10 info for 2045-2230, Bengaluru except 7550
Khampur.
So 2.5 weeks into the new season, not all sources have the latest info, but the
latter ones appear correct as far as the Eu frequencies we can hear. Obviously
there is no reliable source out of AIR itself, which ideally would make all
these sources match immediately (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1560, Nov 16 at 2057:30 UT I do catch a quick ``1560 KEBC`` ID
from Radio Disney, confirming the latest call change. Seems R. Disneys never ID
right at the hourtop, so tune-in early is necessary. Many new calls for this
net`s stations alluded to Disney characters, e.g. 620 KMIK Plano TX; (Defunct
1380 KMUS was lucky coincidence, from Muskogee to Mouse). But can`t think of
anything to fit KEBC beyond a rather lame ``Kids Enjoy BroadCasting``.
1560 was KOCY for quite a while, then in early October, 1340 KEBC was renamed
KGHM as in game, but Clear Channel wanted to park the KEBC calls somewhere, so
moved them to 1560. What about KOCY now, which would seem a more natural call
for a station in Oklahoma City? FCC Queries show it unassigned to any AM, FM or
TV station anywhere as of Nov 16, so CC apparently let the most historic set
loose (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) PS: Happy anniversary, State of
Oklahoma
** PERU. 18058-, since everything from Los ?ngeles to Calera de Tango was
inbooming on 16m, Nov 16 at 2204 it`s time to check for the third harmonic of
R. Victoria, Lima --- yes, it`s JBA with music, I think (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17920v, whiny spur audible Nov 16 at 2201, so KVOH Simi Valley must
be inbooming on fundamental 17775: yes, S9+25 with usual lofi and distorted
music, the SSOB, compared to CVC Chile only S9+18 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3160, WPJK, Orangeburg SC: since I have been missing it in the
mornings, seeking it in the afternoon before 2215* UT as required by FCC for
this daytimer. Nov 16 tune-in at 2214 and can detect the carrier but no audio
in high noise level, plus it`s fading out and in. But it doesn`t go off at
2215: still 2216, 2217, 2218, 2219 --- then cuts off at 2220, five minutes
late. That`s nothing compared to signing on a semihour too early the first week
of November (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

QTH: Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan
RX: WinRadio G303e
ANT: 100m longwire
7175 16 NOV, 1529 UTC, ERITREA, Voice of the Broad Masses Program 2,
heard in presumed Amharic with local music (almost oriental-sounding),
into a station ID, and a pop instrumental music bed. Good signal
strength and no QRM to speak of. CNRI must not have discovered this
frequency yet.
7200 16 NOV, 1525 UTC, SUDAN, Sudan RTVC, Heard with man in Arabic
talks with many mentions of Sudan. Fair signal, but beat up by CNRI on
7205 with a 20kHz occupied bandwidth. Sure wish the Chinese would get
it together on splatter and occupied bandwidth...
A light night of DX'ing. I was also listening on 7120 kHz and it seemed
like Voice of the Broad Masses Program 1 was active there judging by the
languages, but Chad also shares the frequency. I did not hear any
French in over three hours of monitoring, but I kept hearing what I
thought was "N'Djamena," but might also have been "Eritrea." Signal not
as good as 7175 if indeed it was Eritrea.
