Peru, 6019.257, Radio Victoria, 0920-0930, Noted a two
ladies in Spanish language
conversation. This continues during the period.
Needless to say, the freq is covered
with splatter as well as general interference. Signal
was fair however. (Chuck
Bolland, January 1, 2011)
Bolivia, 6134.819, Radio Santa Cruz, 0931-0945, Noted
a male in Spanish comments
during the period. Signal is rather muffled which is
not the usual. Generally, it is
easy to hear. However, the signal strength was fair.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
** GREECE. 7475, VOG, UT Sat Jan 1 at 0615-0647+, continuous singing by three
or four Greek Orthodox guys, like one week ago on Xmas. Only rarely do they
manage to harmonize. ERA5 continues to be in holiday mode relaying a domestic
network. Also on weaker // 9420 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, V. of Mesopotamia via UKRAINE, Jan 1 at 1443 M
soloist with vocal pyrotechnics, usual flutter adding to other-worldly
ambience; plucked instrument accompaniment. We remain indebted to the PKK
terrorists for this unique musical service and to TDP for keeping it on the air
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LAOS [non]. 9540, checked first thing Jan 1 at 1329, and no signal from
WHRI, so tends to confirm that Hmong World Christian Radio is not really there
at 1300 Saturdays as in WRTH 2011 page 493 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, RNZI, Jan 1 at 0657 started to play ``Be My Love``,
Mario Lanza`s hit and was trying to decide whether that was he or an almost
equally gifted tenor, when it was cut off rudely in less than a minute for
frequency change announcement to 9765. After about a minute, 9765 came on at
*0659 not with the rest of the song, but bell-bird IS until 0700 ``Radio New
Zealand News at Eight`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. Two SSB pirates were active NYE with music, UT January 1 at
0423, on 6925 and 6950. Better signal on the latter, and shortly found that
6925 had gone off anyway. 6950 had song about Jesus Christ, then more heavy
beat music; 0430 quick ID sounded like ``Wolverine Radio``, but not sure; I do
know that is the name of one pirate. 0442 another tentative ID as above. Signal
is strengthening; 0455 changes to tones, probably SSTV ID before closing.
Atmosferix from the tornadic storms in the SE USA are noticeable (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 91.7, KOSU Stillwater-OKC legal IDs had been limited to this and
KOSN 107.5 Ketchum-Tulsa, ignoring the 107.3 Tulsa-proper translator, another
in Okmulgee. But the last few days they have been adding 88.3 KOSR Stillwater,
e.g. at 1559 UT January 1. This is the fill-in transmitter on the OSU campus,
needed since they moved the main transmitter halfway to OKC. Does this mean it
has just gone on the air? In Enid it`s blocked by a YFR translator.
KOSU 91.7 reception here has degraded itself a lot in last few years with
addition of IBOC making main signal weaker, plus site further away such that
now it is more subject to picket-fencing on caradio, and harder to penetrate
restaurant walls and noise levels on walkman. Even some of my home radios no
longer get 91.7 with a solid signal, and there is the Kansan gospel-huxter
elbowing from 91.5. We really need a KOSU translator in Enid, which lacks any
local public radio service, or preferably full-power relay in NW OK (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 9570, R. Blagovest is still on R. Veritas Asia, January 1 at
1507, despite Moscow DX Club report quoting engineer at RVA that they would no
longer broadcast in Russian this year. In previous report this was filled under
RUSSIA [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 6075, R. Rossii, Pet/Kam, Jan 1 at 1357 has heavy motorboating, but
today there is also some musical modulation mixing in. 1400 timesignal 6
seconds late as Chinese CCI starts, PK stays on until 1401:15* while there is
no sign of 8GAL on 6074 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAIPAN. Robert E. Kamosa`s defective transmitter is acting up again: 9715,
January 1 at 1352, R. Liberty in Russian marred by hum, distortion and unstable
carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY [and non]. 12035, which would be our better frequency for VOT English
at 1330, checked Jan 1 at 1403 has SAH of about 8 Hz from some CCI: HFCC shows
both VOR via Samara, and KSDA GUAM in Chinese; Aoki only the latter (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. More changes at WINB: Saturday had been the only day 13570 was not on
the air, but now it is, and earlier than ever: January 1 at 1405 with
non-Brother Scare preacher in English. 1451 dead air except for hum. Indeed,
the always undated Overcomer SW schedule at
ftp://www.overcomerministry.org/RadioSchedule/Short%20Wave%20Radio.html
no longer shows WINB at all, just WWCR, WWRB and WBCQ + unID frequencies, i.e.
Germany.
Ever-more-outdated ``Dec 5`` WINB program schedule at
http://www.winb.com/schedule.htm
still shows Overcomer at numerous times including 1430-2130 on Saturdays. Check
at 1735, no, still not Scare on 13570 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, checking for WORLD OF RADIO on WRMI, Saturday Jan 1 at 1503, at
first something else is heard, but proves to be in Russian, so that`s the
co-channel from Family Radio via Tainan, Taiwan ? and thus absent from HFCC but
in Aoki. Makes fast SAH with WRMI which barely audiblizes enough to recognize
my voice; at least no jamming at the moment. At 1505, YFR says ``s novym
godom``. It would be happier if they would quit QRMing WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15825, WWCR-1, Jan 1 at 1502 with preacher, poor signal but notable
for the long-path echo, from some 39 megameters away.
12160, WWCR-2, Sat Jan 1 at 1700, WORLD OF RADIO has been replaced by ``The
Master`s Mission`` preacher. As usual we are in the dark about whether it`s a
temporary make-good, or a permanent change. January program schedule has not
yet been posted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 9760, via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, best frequency for VOA ``Jazz
America`` is missing Saturday January 1 at 1354. The 13-14 hour has been
scheduled Sat & Sun only. 9760 was on the air at 1505 for ``New Dynamic
English``. Breakdown, or 2011y schedule change? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) See also SAIPAN

KGMB's iconic tower coming down in pieces
By Susan Essoyan
POSTED: 01:30 a.m. HST, Jan 01, 2011
A longtime local landmark, the 432-foot KGMB broadcast tower on Kapiolani
Boulevard, is slowly being dismantled, but after nearly 50 years in place, it
isn't giving up easily.

QTH: Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan
RX: WinRadio G303e
ANT: 100m longwire
Anyone else hearing this?
5000 02 JAN, 0150 UTC, ISRAEL, 4XZ, Israeli Navy, Haifa. Banging away
in CW on a time and frequency channel! No sign of BPM or WWVH this
morning. Station was in its normal "V" marker, then went into 5
digit/letter groups and then back to its "V" marker now at 0227.
At first I thought I had a spur or an image. Israel is bit too far away
for most of that and I see nothing that can mix to produce this. The
rest of the band is normal and I have no such effect anywhere else. My
rx is not really susceptible to such. I mean, it is dead-on at 5000.
This raises the question, WTF? Bad tx on their end? On purpose? Sure
would make the signal easy to find.
