** AUSTRALIA. 6080, Sunday Feb 6 at 1345 religious discussion, but not // RA
6020, and 6080 has Queensland angle, so apparently still relaying ABC Local
Radio Queensland. If it was the Local Radio network show, `Sunday Nights`,
probably one-hour delayed from feed on mainstream RA due to lack of DST in
Qsld, but that would mess up call-ins if not live everywhere. Again, 6080 was
fluttery whilst 6020 was not, tho both emanating from Shepparton upon different
azimuths.
http://www.abc.net.au/sundaynights/
says it`s on LR from 10 pm to 2 am AEDT = 11-15 UT, which BTW lasts until April
3.
After 1407, listened to continuation of show on 9590, with ``Inquisition`` quiz
segment. First contestant did not know the name of those Catholic beads, maybe
vespers?! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 7325, RCI Spanish in mailbag, Sunday Feb 6 at 1355, reception
reports from Honduras, Cuba, so must be `The Messenger Beaver` show; heavy QRM
from CRI in Japanese, 500 kW, 59 degrees from Jinhua site so also USward, while
RCI is 250 kW, 277 degrees from Sackville, for western USA, not Central America
and Caribbean --- and the collision can only get worse further west from here.
It`s been going on for years, as RCI doesn`t really care if they have any
listeners to this absurd early-morning service also in Arabic and Chinese to
the USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. As reported previously, RHC has finally cancelled its 24-hour service
in Spanish, presumably due to austerity, with millions of Cubans filling
make-do-nothing government jobs due to be fired March 1; now only 12 hours a
day, drastically cut in half to 12-16 and 22-06 UT only. It will be interesting
to note whether any familiar RHC voices in Spanish or English begin to
disappear, and whether any minor language services such as Quechua go away.
Also RHC have apparently been persuaded to leave the `Al?, Presidente`
frequencies off when there is advance word that Venezuela will not be providing
that Sunday show [see VENEZUELA].
Until now, RHC always ran the frequencies anyway from 1400, filling with its
own programming if nothing else, but Feb 6 at 1452 check, no signals on 13750,
15370 or 17750. Yet the transmitters pre-empted for those on Sunday mornings
only, 12040 and 13680, are also missing. So these are still running at 1452 and
1520 chex: 11690, 11730, 11760, 13780, 15120 [until 1500], 15360. Final check
at 1635: all frequencies are still off.
Another Sunday and also another no-show by the Esperanto service of RHC,
scheduled 1500-1530 on 11760 only ? Feb 6 at 1519 it`s in Spanish // all the
other frequencies. Better luck at 2230 on 15370?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. 2280, tnx to a log from Tim Tromp, Michigan in the MARE
Tipsheet, we have a new MW harmonic to chase. So I try Feb 5 at 2357 UT and
there is a very weak carrier, some music occasionally audible. At 0000 Feb 6 a
yelled announcement, sounds Spanish, back to music. Modulation seems a bit
distorted, but hard to be sure as signal is threshold vs the hi local noise
level here. 0020 about the same; 0026 peaking a bit with singing, 0029 sounds
like canned ID but cannot copy it.
Tim says he heard Latin music and numerous Radio Anacaona IDs Jan 31 at 0220,
coming in strong, 2 x 1140. WRTH 2011 info: HIRA, Radio Anacaona, 5 kW, San
Juan de la Maguana, 1100-0400. I had checked for it the previous morning after
1200, but that was too late to propagate.
Wikipedia explains the derivation of this unusual name: ``Anacaona (1464 ? c.
1504), also called the Golden Flower, was a Ta?no cacique (chief), sister of
Bohech?o and wife of Caonabo, chief of a nearby territory, two of the five
highest caciques who ruled the island of Hispaniola when the Spaniards settled
there in 1492. She was celebrated as a composer of ballads and narrative poems,
called are?tos``. It`s nice that the Ta?no, who were exterminated by the
Spaniards, at least leave a legacy of nomenclature, no doubt due to a lingering
sense of well-deserved guilt (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI is still here ex-9525-, Feb 6 at 1358 concluding
English hour with lite whine, still IADs, good signal. 1400 into Indonesian.
9680, RRI domestic service was more interesting at 1417 with traditional music,
sounding like mix of Native American chanting and Chinese instrumentals (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6899.48-AM approx., UT Sunday Feb 6 at 0555 rock music, 0556
announcement mentions 100 hits Saturday night on 6900, website something+
online.com; techno till 0617 tune-out. No ID caught but sounds like the same
station heard 23 hours earlier on 6899.6-AM, which was WBNY (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [non]. 1570, Feb 5 at 2204 UT on caradio, talk in Spanish not //
KRVT 1270, so I briefly think that KZLI must have started separate religious
programming --- no, the subject is the Mexican consulate in Del Rio, so XERF is
already dominant with no sign of KZLI under it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1620, happened to pass this frequency at 0007 UT Sunday Feb 6, just
as an interesting talkshow was starting, `Science Fantastic` with Prof. Michio
Kaku. Plugs his new book `Physics of the Future`, and talks about meteorites,
subject of this hour, including how meteorites landing in 1807y led to the
Millerites, to Jehovahs` Witnesses and Seventh Day Adventists, to the Branch
Davidians in Waco --- fortuitous local angle since this is WTAW, a few counties
away in College Station!
Before the guest, an adstring starting with the ubiquitous C. Crane Co., radio
receivers, so CCC is sponsoring a genuine scientist this time --- voiced by
Kaku himself unlike the following ones for: Visiting Angels franchises,
non-medical home care; Caltrate; GEICO.
Then at 0013, the author of `A Professor, A President, and a Meteor`, Prof.
Catherine (sp?) Prince. The guest has hardly started talking when the signal
drops out at 0016, and tho it recovers somewhat a few minutes later, no longer
easy copy, and R. Rebelde`s Spanish can be heard in the mix. It`s almost as if
WTAW powered down at that time, but there was NO courtesy announcement:
``As required by our federal license, WTAW is about to reduce its power by one
order of magnitude for the night hours. We say goodbye to our distant listeners
who may no longer be able to hear WTAW, but shall resume full daytime power at
sunrise.``
Checking FCC AM Query for WTAW`s SR/SS times, indeed sunset is officially at
0015 UT in February, sunrise at 1300. In March, nighttime will be 0030-1230 UT,
a.k.a. 7:30 pm to 7:30 am once nonsensical daylight shifting kicks in on March
13 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
We find this program is on the Talk Radio Network, with many better-known shows
including several farrightwingnuts also on WTAW. Eventually down this page,
just before `The Savage Nation`, there is a list of frequency-less affiliates
for `Science Fantastic`, and WTAW is on it, with the wrong time Saturday 8-9 pm:
http://streamingradioguide.com/streaming-radio-shows-by-syndicator.php?syndicatorid=21
Leading to WTAW`s own schedule
http://www.wtaw.com/schedule/
showing it`s really 6-9 pm Saturdays (00-03 UT Sundays). TRN will be glad to
sell you the privilege of listening to its podcasts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 7575, Sunday Feb 6 at 1352 VOA`s `Jazz America` about to
conclude the hour, with something from the NEA Jazz Fest, Lincoln Center Jazz
Orchestra, tribute to Coltrane with Wynton Marsalis. Fluttery signal, 250 kW,
332 degrees from Tinang, PHILIPPINES, but the best we can do now (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1550 monitoring: Sunday Feb 6 at 1634, no jamming on
9955, but only a JBA carrier which may be WRMI, or YFR via Taiwan. WRMI webcast
is down too. Next scheduled WOR times are: Mon 1230, 2230, Tue 1630, Wed 0200,
1630, Thu 0430; also on WBCQ Tue 2000 on 7415 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [and non]. Info about el show del Hugazo is here:
http://www.alopresidente.gob.ve/
Feb 6 saying there will be none this week as the presidente has a cold; see
CUBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
