** GREECE. 7475, VOG, Dec 18 at 0600 classical music, pause, no hourtop ID or
any announcement, more classical. The strike continues preventing normal
programming from airing, but I must say I approve of their substitute.
John Babbis, Maryland, VOG`s #1 monitor abroad, explained on Dec 17: ``Glenn: I
think that this is the Mother of all Greek strikes and is slated to last all
week. I am sure that everybody at ERA5 has walked out, leaving the Managers to
hire strike-breakers with their albums of American music, etc. The radio
employees are also hired by the state.
On November 30, journalists staged a nationwide strike to protest wage cuts and
layoffs. Last week public transport workers struck, leading to the network
grinding to a halt in Athens. This week refuse workers, air traffic
controllers, bank staff, state-television employees and rail workers are
scheduled to strike in separate disputes`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4052.5-, R. Verdad, Dec 18 at 0556 very poor with talk,
intonation sounds English as nominal during final hour of transmission. Dr
Madrid continues to have problems with the transmitter, so operation is
intermittent and underpowered as he gets advice from Engr. Rafael Borthwick in
Canada (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. 7245, ORTM chanting, poor Dec 18 at 0616, squeezed by English on
both sides, from DW and Vatican (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MOROCCO. 15341.1, RTVM in Arabic with hum but no het, Dec 18 at 1605. The
usual shift from 15341.1 to 15345 circa 1500 did not take place today (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES [non]. 15350, Dec 18 just as I tune in at 1504, transmitter cuts
off the air. Back on at *1505 talk with heavy echo which I think is
self-imposed rather than LP/SP, since bits of children singing do not have the
echo. This is R. Veritas Asia, Filipino/Tagalog service relayed by VATICAN back
to the ME (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [non]. 5965, REE via COSTA RICA, Dec 18 at 0606 opening ``Amigos de la
Onda Corta``, soon into ``noticias DX`` most of which have nothing to do with
shortwave frequencies, logs or schedules, such as some item about Pope Paul VI.
Ironic, as once again has major QRM from Vatican in English on 5965. The 25m
//s from REE are not propagating here, nor are they intended to. What a pity
that REE and VR insist on colliding as they have for years (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. 17745, Dec 18 at 1609-1615+ hilife music, good from Sudan Radio
Service, currently scheduled 1500-1700 daily, 250 kW, 114 degrees via Sines,
PORTUGAL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15825, Dec 18 at 1606, WWCR has a good S9+22 signal with some fading,
indicating that winter sporadic E is in play. Without it, at only one
megameter, 15 MHz is mostly in skip zone. Then I check
http://www.vhfdx.info/spots/map.php?Lan=E&Frec=50&Map=NA
and find several 50 MHz ham contacts are underway in the eastern half of the
USA. Might make it up into lowband TV or even FM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WWCR`s DX Block is being dropped on Saturday evenings for lack of
sponsorship, so from first Sat of Jan 2011, the program which had been
following it expands to two hours, as has been wanting to do for some time. The
DX programs will be moved elsewhere, but not in one tidy block. Solely an
economic move, for no other reason, says Dr Jerry Plummer (Ask WWCR Dec 10,
notes by gh for DX LISTENING DIGEST)
So that`s how we find out that one of our most listened-to WORLD OF RADIO
airings is going away, 0330 UT Sundays on 4840; as it already did once earlier
in Dec, perhaps as an experiment. 0315 has been the only airing of DX Partyline
on WWCR. No word yet on what times, if any will replace WOR at 0330 or DXPL at
0315. Meanwhile, the Sat 1700 airing of WOR 1543 confirmed Dec 18 on 12160; and
Friday 2030 on 7465 was also very good (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1320, checking out the low het I am getting against KCLI Clinton
OK indicating the other station is off-frequency: Dec 17 at 1827 UT, 5 minutes
before low noon, I try the DX-398 in the yard. With KCLI nulled, and BFO I do
hear a different-pitched carrier and much weaker.
This makes KWHN Fort Smith AR most likely as the source, since KLWN in Lawrence
KS is close to opposite from KCLI and would not be audible in KCLI null;
further, KLWN is only 500 watts, and KWHN is 5000. Both are non-direxional in
daytime (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
