** CHINA. Firedrake Jan 30:
8400, at 1352, JBA with flutter
9380, at 1354, fair vs presumed DW in Chinese, not audible, not 1400+
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC Sunday Jan 30 check: at 1412 the special ``Aló, Presidente``
frequencies are on, 13750, 15370 and 17750, the latter strong but
undermodulated with buzzes, but no separate programming, all // mainstream RHC
11690, 11730, 11760, 13780, 15120, 15230; while 12040 and 15360 are absent.
Recheck at 1655: 17750, 15370 and 13750 still on and still no-show Hugazo, //
others.
Gone again! Esperanto from RHC scheduled Sundays 1500-1530 on 11760, but Jan 30
at 1510, just Spanish // numerous other frequencies in filatelia show (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PALAU. 9950, Jan 30 at 1451, playing music including riff from ``Touch Me``
by The Doors, 1453 Japanese talk, 1457 giving URL with // pronounced ``surashu,
surashu``, and schedule mentioning kirohertsu several times, to 1459*. Is
Furusato no Kaze, 100 kW, 345 degrees from Koror via T8WH; better signal than
neighbor 9955 WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. 6075, R. Rossii, no motorboating and not much program
audio either Jan 30 at 1359, but could hear 1400+ timesignal, mixing with
Taipei ID and then more Chinese from jamming. Hard to tell when Pet/Kam carrier
goes off, without the motorboating roar! No sign of 2MTL or 8GAL 6074 until
1402 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. VOT was reported to have changed frequency for English to NAm at
23-24: ``Frequency changes for Voice of Turkey effective from Jan. 14:
2300-2357 NF 7335+EMR 500 kW / 310 deg to NoAm, ex 5960 English; + co-channel
WHRI Angel 1/5 in English on Sat (DX Mix News, Bulgaria, Jan 18 via DXLD
11-03)``
And I finally get around to checking it on Saturday January 29 at 2330: nothing
but WHRI audible on 7335, but there is something weak on 5960, seems English,
bothered by much stronger and bleeding DentroCuban Jamming Command on 5955
against R. República on 5954.2v. That could certainly motivate VOT to move, but
onto a frequency occupied by WHRI?!
To be sure, I listen again at 2352, and do hear the VOT IS on 5960. So the
change has NOT been made, or if it was, they have gone back to 5960, or even
less likely, gone back on Saturdays only, possibly the only day of week WHRI is
really on 7335, altho HFCC shows 17 = Sunday and Saturday.
Yet the latest HFCC also shows TRT on 7335 as if it had been there all the time
since 31 Oct! And no listing for 5960 where it really was and is. Far too many
changes in HFCC are masked by showing incorrect dates in effect (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1549 monitoring: Saturday Jan 29 at 1846, very poor
but audible on 9955, WRN via WRMI, no jamming. Jeff White reconfirms that WRMI
is on the air Sat & Sun only in the 17-22 UT period, taking a break on
weekdays, all with WRN relays. And WOR is also scheduled at the same time on
Sundays.
3215, WWCR at 0735 UT Sun Jan 30, WOR confirmed. 9955, WRMI at 1647 Sunday,
also confirmed, with usual SAH from YFR Taiwan, but generally atop it, and no
jamming unlike 9965.
Next chances on 9955: Sun 1830, Mon 1230, 2230, Tue 1630, Wed 0200, 1630; 7415
WBCQ: Tue 2000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, lovely Andean music from WRMI, ``Aires Andinos`` show, UT Sun
Jan 30 at 0533, so I settle back to listen for the rest of the half hour:
unfortunately, I just caught it at a peak, as soon obscured by Cuban jamming
pulses, and then alternating peaking and troughing. Our Friend in Habana finds
such innocent programming a threat to the oppressed DentroCubans --- even this
must be jammed. Tnx a lot, Arnie!
Some other times for ``Aires Andinos`` on the WRMI schedule: Wed 1230, Thu
0100, Sat 1200. The 1200 and 1230 are probably jammed too; maybe has a chance
at 01. Or give up and listen to webcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 15420, Jan 29 at 1847, I am hearing nothing but BBCWS in
English via SOUTH AFRICA, when normally there is a collision with WBCQ on CUSB.
Global Spirit Proclamation, the androgynous anapest from Fence Lake NM, is
supposedly scheduled 7 days a week at 18-22 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1190, Jan 30 at 1433 UT, Spanish caught my ear, mostly atop
jumble of multiple stations, talking about a trip to Mérida, Yucatán. Since it
seems from WNW/ESE, and the hour is rather late, I don`t think it is an XE, and
there are no Yucatecans on 1190. Maybe an infomercial. Lasted about 5 minutes
before losing out. Several US stations on 1190 are Spanish, per NRC AM Log, in
AZ, FL, GA, MS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7534-SSB, Jan 30 at 0618, 2-way in English, one side good, the
other JBA or not at all during long pauses. The one I can hear with some engine
noise in background, calls his contact Mike, mentions ``lockers``, ``only got
one drum``; 0623 ``awful big ocean here``; ``not one --ck--- boat in 12
miles``, ``I just don`t see anything``. 0628+ nothing more heard, no IDs.
Sounded like he was somewhat distressed.
What else has been reported on 7534? Searching the 31,130 posts so far on the
UDXF yg, I get two hits on 7534 from 2006 and 2007y, neither relevant (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
