** CUBA [non]. 7210-LSB, had not heard anti-Castro rants from N1NR lately, but
there he is Jan 18 at 1409 with ``regimen opresiva castrista``. Long pauses as
his contacts were supposedly replying, but not audible here, so duplex on
another frequency, or is he just pretending to be in contacts with imaginary
friends, to justify his rants as non-broadcasts? 1415 finally heard someone
reply.
Then he discusses connexion between ``left`` (izquierdo) and ``sinister`` from
Latin. N1NR is Nelson Roig, in Bushkill PA. Had some CCI from a broadcaster in
Japanese, CRI via Xian during this hour only. Aoki shows no 500 kW CRI at
12-14, but 20 kW from Yunnan and Vietnam, 100 kW from Eritrea. I used to hear
him during the 12 UT hour, at least during DST (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525-, VOI Tuesday Jan 18 at 1310 in English with news items
alternating from Jakarta and Banjarmasin, being Exotic Indonesia excursion day.
Few IADs this time! Caught better 9525- VG signal cutting music and off
abruptly at 1501* after Indonesian hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
See also PHILIPPINES
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5910, Shiokaze, Tuesday Jan 18 at 1403, fair signal in
Japanese today, with characteristic stingers between items (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 640, WWLS Moore, IBOC is still/again off, at 1345 UT check Jan 18.
I still don`t dare to hope they have nixed it permanently, tho it did happen
more than a year ago with another CC station at 50 Penn Place, OKC, KTOK 1000.
Right: at 1650, IBOC is back on 640 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1530, Jan 18 at 1350 UT, Spanish with report from Mari S?nchez
about f?tbol in Tampico, Poza Rica, so is it KGBT or an XE? No, it`s E/W so
likely the Tulsa market, serving to block local daytime reception there of KOKC
1520. At 1352, plug calcoman?a de Qu? Buena 15-30; adstring mostly by
super-hyper voice actor who must be making a mint, heard all over US and
Mexico, including:
1353 La Maquinaria Norte?a appearing in concert Jan 21; 1356 Cambio de Cheques
El Paisano. 1359 inserts ID as ``KXTD, Tulsa``, KXTD pronounced in English,
Tulsa in Spanish. Trouble is, city of license is Wagoner, not heard mentioned.
Dominant but with slow SAH of about 1 Hz from algo. Googling confirms they
spell it Que, rather than Ke, so qudos for qeeping good Spanish alive. It
should really be Qu?, imperatively. However, it`s exhausting to listen to this
guy; give it a rest. He starts the next word before the previous drawn-out one
fully decays, obviously edited to overlap (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 9570, seems R. Blagovest via RVA is really gone: Jan 18 at 1458
there is a carrier, but nothing develops when it used to come in well from
1500. Still nothing at 1515, 1528 chex.
How is propagation from Philippines today? 9760, Jan 18 at 1501 good open
carrier, surely VOA Tinang, but off at 1503*, on for a few sex only at 1504.5,
never any modulation; apparently gave up trying to keep the transmitter on.
Still nothing at 1528. See also INDONESIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 6075, Jan 18 at 1359, nothing but motorboating audible from R.
Rossii, 1400 six-pip TS, mb carrier on until 1401:30* and still no sign of 8GAL
on 6074. Last few winters that was still being heard in January. Wolfgang
B?schel reminds us that the transmitter site irresponsible for this 6075 mess
is Yelizovo, pertaining to Petropavlovsk/Kamchatskiy. It also makes a rumble
under DW 6075 here from 0600 or earlier (Glenn Hauer, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 11780, UT Tue Jan 18 at 0113, REE IS clearly audible, somewhat atop
co-channel RNA Bras?lia! RNA is normally quite strong, but not tonight. This is
REE`s weekly Sephardic service to SAm, 0115-0145, colliding in its target area
as well as here.
I have yet to see a single report from S America about how this works out;
interest appears to be nil. Some Brazilians do complain of poor reception of
RNA on 11780, but that`s because they are in the skip zone, too close to
Bras?lia, so perhaps REE can dominate there, but being on a clear frequency
such as previously listed/announced 11795 would be preferable, duh (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 11860, BBCWS news hour in English, Jan 18 at 1318, on flooding
spreading to Horsham NSW, and northern Victoria. Good signal but some ACI from
WYFR 11855, and also some crackle around the channel, perhaps spursplat from
DCJC on 11930 against Mart?. Latest HFCC update still does not account for this
transmission, so we still assume it is a runover from the 12-13 relay via
GUIANA FRENCH. No sign of Poland in English via Woofferton which should have
11860 to itself during this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST
** U S A [and non]. 9405, presumed WINB the source of a JBA carrier, Jan 18 at
0632. In the wildly variable nightmiddle conditions on 31m, this time, all US
stations are quite weak, even WYFR, WTJC; but BBC 9410 was fair, Ascension
during this hour only. Before 0600 it`s Cyprus (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 5755, WTWW dead air Jan 18 at 0641, but 0642 cut on PPP in progress.
Seems SFAW HQ in CO still can`t keep a reliable feed going (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. Again Jan 18 I am looking for VOA`s ``Border Crossings``.
Today, no signal on 12150 from SRI LANKA at 1527, and very poor from
Lampertheim on 12055 vs WEWN 12050. See also PHILIPPINES (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1360, Jan 18 at 1330 UT, ``La Poderosa 13-60``, 7 y media timecheck,
hi today 52, plus extended forecast. Ergo it`s not in M?xico, but could not
detect any other meteorological clues. 1334 traffic report concerning
Grapevine, Fort Worth, so it`s KMNY Hurst TX (studio address: Dallas), which is
indeed powerful, having managed to attain 50 kW on what used to be considered a
regional 5-kW-limit channel, but highly direxional. On the FRG-7 with longwire
E-W, badly oriented for this, but stayed atop the jumble for a while. NRC AM
Log shows format as Spanish religion, but none such heard while I listened, a
welcome weatherly respite (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1370, as I tune across Jan 18 at 0640 UT on the portable DX-398, ID
as ``This is KSEN(?) Country``, loops north/south. The only thing that
resembles phonetically in the 2010-2011 NRC AM Log is: KSUM, Fairmont MN, which
is indeed C&W format, 1000/1000 U4. And the NRC Pattern Book shows day and
night patterns` major lobe is NNE, minor lobe opposite (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
