Bolivia, 6134.806, Radio Santa Cruz, 1020-1035, Noted a
period of music at tune in.
At 1024, male breaks in with TC and Spanish comments
about the music. Back
to music at 1026. At 1030 promos and ID's canned.
Signal was good.

Bolivia, 5952.410, Emisora Pio XII, 1034-1045, At tune
in, heard a male in Spanish
language comments. Possibly the comments were news
items? Signal was
fair but splatter was making copy difficult. (Chuck

** AUSTRALIA. 7240, Thu Dec 30 at 1405, RA starting ``Summer`` show from ABC
Local Radio (paradoxically, a national network). RA is in summer-vacation
substitute-program mode, but has failed to update:
http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/programguide/universal.htm
which still shows ``Hindsight`` Thursday at 1405. This situation will probably
last thru most of January. ``Summer`` host started discussing whether brains of
liberals and conservatives are congenitally different, i.e. conservatives ruled
by reptilian emotions (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11760, Dec 30 at 1531:40, RHC starting ``Formalmente Informal``,
confirmed as one hour later than it used to be M-F (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525-, VOI still almost on-frequency rather than 9526-, Dec 30 at
1413, ending news in Indonesian. Good signal today but with some whine, and as
always, IADs, more obvious when some music played. Off the air after 1500
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. More from the sporadic E TV DX opening in previous report: channel 3
analog, Dec 29 at 1725 UT, ``Ensalada de Noche`` label at bottom, cooking
demonstration, and tv3 bug in upper right, i.e. XHP Puebla (Glenn Hauser, Enid
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PALAU. 9950, Dec 30 at 1458, Babcock IS, prior to what? Nothing: at 1459 ID
by T8WH, cut off air before complete. This was instead the tail of the 1430
Furusato no Kaze broadcast, 100 kW, 345 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 6075, R. Rossii, Petropavlovsk/Kamchatsky, Dec 30 at 1359, nothing
but motorboating, but 1400 timesignal made it thru, mb carrier on until 1401,
and no 8GAL audible on 6074 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA [non]. 11905, R. Ceylon is being reported in English at 1530 so I
try for it too. At 1518 Dec 30, something in Russian? No, Belarussian from
Poland via Woofferton UK, say HFCC and Aoki.
1529:30 this stops, and a few sex later another carrier comes on somewhat
weaker and fadier. I am afraid this is not SLBC, but another PRES broadcast via
Woofferton in Ukrainian, having made a slight antenna change from 70 to 82
degrees.
HFCC shows SLBC via Ekala site at 0800-1530 on 11905 in Hindi, but this is not
in WRTH 2011; just 1530-1630 in English and Hindi on 11905 via Trincomalee
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** THAILAND. 9725, Dec 30 at 1417, HSK9 in English discussing the dangers of
second-hand smoke; fair (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7415, Wed Dec 29 at 2001, WORLD OF RADIO 1545 confirmed first airing
on WBCQ webcast.
9955, WRMI, UT Thu Dec 30 at 0443 check, nothing but jamming audible when WORLD
OF RADIO 1545 was airing. Tnx a lot, Arnie! However, at 0621, WRMI was holding
its own against the jamming during DX Partyline. Pipeline then from SFL with
WYFR 31m channels inbooming. Other nights these are JBA; you never know which
will be the case.
Dec 30 at 1628 check, the Thu 1600 airing of WOR on 9955 seems unjammed but
poor signal. Next on WRMI: Thu 2200 (probably jamming wall-of-noise as this was
on Wed); Fri 1530, Sat 0900, 1500, 1830. On WBCQ 7415: Thu 2000; on WWRB 3185:
Fri 0430. On WWCR 7465: Fri 2130; 12160 Sat 1700. Complete schedule at

RUSSIA 7210.748 Odd frequency seldom happens on RUS/CIS tx sites. Unusual

system, "Banco de Oro" and WikiLead report. \\ at same time Spanish service

** CUBA. 11670, Dec 30 at 2219, I am surprised to hear RHC IS, and then an
Indian language, certainly not the usual Radio Nacional de Venezuela
transmission in Spanish, the only thing scheduled on this frequency from Cuba,
at 22-23! Guaran? was deleted a year or two ago, so unless that has been
revived, it must be Quechua. But per current schedule, QC is supposed to be at
0000-0030 on 15370. That frequency appeared to be on now, but weak signal and
dead air. Guarani used to be on the same frequency as Quechua (then 17705) at
other times. At 2225 had to resort to Spanish words, talking about ``Costa de
Marfil, ex-colonia francesa``.
2230 switched to Creole, audio breaking up and undermodulated. That`s supposed
to be at 2300 on 15370 per online sked presented in Spanish, while in WRTH,
French is supposed to be on 15370 at 2230, except Sundays Esperanto, which we
have never been able to confirm. This was definitely Kriyol-la, not French.
However, at recheck 2256, 11670 had meanwhile switched to correct feed of RNV
with IS and sign-off announcement. In other words, at RHC, it`s SNAFU.
6050, checking RHC English, Dec 31 at 0211, very strong, but it has co-channel
QRM under from some music, and producing a subaudible heterodyne. Thus the
negligible HCJB is capable of interfering with RHC in NAm! Maybe that will get
Arnie`s attention, as his monumental failure of frequency management continues
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 6270, R. Cairo is still mostly neglecting to apply modulation to
sufficient carrier, Dec 31 at 0159 check, tho there is a lite whine, still
0210. By 0222 some modulation is barely audible but not at all readable, and
also at 0246 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 11965, UT Dec 30 at 2210 some nice seemingly secular music, then ID
sounding like ``Radio Advent Suara Pangharapan``, and Christian hymn tune in
presumed Indonesian. It`s KSDA, and one could hear the same here:
http://as-se.awr.org/id/ind/38
But no sign of the proper Indonesian name or ID on the website or in the WRTH
2011: you have to find this under GUAM, while the other AWR transmissions are
under USA, even tho none radiate from there; why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Finally tracked down the active 1670 kHz talking house, traces of
which I have heard while driving around western Enid, Dec 30 at 2100+ UT. I
figured it`s farther out in the NW quadrant, and so it is. Near Purdue and
Oakwood I was hearing the swishy signal strong enough to copy the address: 3017
Falcon Crest; poor dixion of Greg Winkeljohn first made it sound like South
Crest, no such street, but found the correct one on my map. Only way to access
it was to circle around to the east and south and back west into a newish
development. Did not bother to record, as it`s quite similar to the previous
ones from same realtor, but did photo the house, with the 1670 sign afront:
http://www.w4uvh.net/1670th3017a.jpg
It`s also on his website, with a slide show of the interiors, price $439,900:
http://www.enidhomes.com/homes/683286.htm
But no shot of the radio station! And as usual, no antenna visible from the
outside. However, there was this emblem embedded in the ground near the front
door by the owners who want out:
http://www.w4uvh.net/1670th3017b.jpg
Mentioned in the spiel and on the site is a ``Jack & Jill bathroom`` which
sounds ominous, if you know the kidsong --- no running water? You fall down and
break your crown?
There were many more houses of a similar style in the area, but surprisingly
few inhabitants stirring in our record-warm midafternoon, 70 degrees. But
3017`s neighbors were pulling up their Xmas lights. Driving away on caradio,
losing 1670 within a semimile, and gone by one mile, while moving with the
noise level increased. I suspect my tyres are generating static electricity
against the dry, dry pavement (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PORTUGAL. 9855 and stronger // 9455, RDPI to Americas, Dec 31 at 0152 with
Portuguese music, but rather overmodulated/distorted. A bit better several
minutes later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 7490, Dec 30 at 2156, B-B-C- chimes, fair signal, 2159:30 opening
Chinese service. It`s 250 kW, 25 degrees from Nakhon Sawan, THAILAND, so also
USward. Don`t you believe the HFCC registration for WWCR on 7490 at 21-01. It`s
really on 7465 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7455, WYFR way over the RTTY which seems determined to live with it,
Dec 31 at 0129, but FR self-inflicts some kind of double audio and then
distorted single audio; once Open Forum starts at 0130 the audio clears up and
I clear out (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
