CHAD - 6165, Radiodiffusion Nationale Tchadienne, N'djamena, good signal
2150-2215 2/7, pleasant African rhythms to 2200 nx and commentary show in FF by
OM, with remote feeds by YL and others. Gone at 2245 recheck. Slated to s/off
daily 2230* except weekends when it runs to 2300*. (R Perry, Illinois)
ECUADOR - 4814.98, R. El Buen Pastor, 1050-1110, decent signal and in the clear
on 2/5 (ute missing) but noisy. Upbeat nondescript music to 1052 when quick
theme burst and OM on top, "Radio El Buen Pastor, nuestro programa esta manana
.
. ." t/ck and fqy quote. Into what sounded like brief rlg tlk, mtning "El
Senor
. . . Dios . . ." and then MOR orchls at 1102 with another ID over. (R Perry,
Illinois)
INDIA - 6155, Bangalore, noting this 2/10 and 2/11 with good signal and in the
clear, early local evenings. A bit unusual to hear the subcontinent in
Illinois
at this time, although a darkness short path exists. On 2/11, fqy clear when
carrier switched on 0012 and 0015 YL abruptly speaking. Believe this is the
Urdu domestic service. 0015.30, chanting by OM, sound like Islamic call to
prayer (interesting to hear this on an India xmtr, but a reminder that about
15%
of Bangalore population is indeed Muslim). 0021 OM in Urdu and then into
subcontinental music. YL singer with subcontinental combo featuring sitar,
tabla, etc. Segued to 0029 t/o. Same pattern pgming heard prior day, when
noting call to prayer already in progress at 0018, the 0021 anmt and then into
Hindi music. Nice signal and just a lot of fun to hear this. Armchair level
signal at the top of fade-ins. (R Perry, Illinois).
GUYANA - GBS Georgetown noted 0920 past 0950 2/12, deep fades, OM ancr in EE
with instl mx. (R Perry, Illinois)
BRAZIL - 4885, R. Clube do Para, best signal in the band 0935 on 2/12, booming
in at 0935 with OM ancr in P giving ID ("Radio Clube do Para, muito bom dia! .
.
. na faixa de 60 metros . . ." and fqy quote over musical backdrop. Same day,
at 0940 on 4915 Anhanguera presumed, OM PP tlk and mx, but lower sig. Also an
unid Brazilian on 4865 at 1015. (R Perry, Illinois)
CHINA - 6030, China National Radio 1, fine signal 1305 2/12 with what sounded a
lot like a Lion Dance performance with clanging symbols, drumming. Into local
folk music by small band with local kazoo-like horns, drumming, etc. Seemed
live performance. Wonderful listening, nice to play inthe background while
typing, etc. (R Perry, Illinois)

** ANTARCTICA. More on anticipated reactivation of LRA36, 15476: Re:
``broadcasting will be resumed on February 25, i.e. another Friday, which seems
odd instead of a Monday, assuming they will resume being M-F only at 12-15``
The staff will be at Base Esperanza that week; they hope to resume
broadcasting as soon as possible, most probably on February 25

LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA [non]. 13635, Feb 12 at 1438, North-American accented screaming
gospel huxter in English, not noticed here before. Per Aoki, that`s because
this semihour is Saturdays only, Bible Voice via Issoudun, FRANCE, 250 kW, 83
degrees; also maybe on Sundays at 1345-1430; Aoki says 1345-1415 first Sunday,
and 1415-1430 as of Nov 7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [non]. Unreliable relays: see CUBA; MALI
** CUBA [and non]. 6010, RHC English missing from this scheduled frequency, Feb
12 at 0650, but still going on 6050, 6060 and 6150, which are plenty, leaving
6010 to the Mexicans and Colombians. At 0700 check, 6050 and 6060 are already
off, but 6150 has switched to Spanish for RHC ID and IS, starting some music
but then cut off at 0701:20* leaving 49m blissfully free of CubaRM!! Except for
the DentroCuban Jamming Command, of course, circa 5955, 5980, 6030. And those
super-signal spy numbers below 5900.
13740, CRI English relay via Cuba is missing, Feb 12 at 1446. It was on a few
minutes before as I tuned across. Next visit at 1519, is back on.
RHC`s new reduced schedule in Spanish continues to be only a rough guide to
what the RadioCuba transmitter operators really do: 15120 scheduled until 1500
is often off long before then, as Feb 12; 13680, scheduled until 1600, was gone
at 1525 check Feb 12, allowing R. Farda music via Wertachtal to come thru
clearly // weaker 15410 via Skelton, while Cuba continued on 13780 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 15840-15865, OTH radar pulsing, presumed from here, Feb 12 at 1532,
safely outside the extended to 15825 SWBC band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** GUINEA. 7125, RTG reactivated a few days ago after a semiyear, gone again
Feb 12 at 0653, 0702 chex (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI in Indonesian, Feb 12 at 1430, VG with hum, few IADs,
``dari Suara Indonesia di Jakarta`` ID in passing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [and non]. The OETA OKLA .2 channel carries NHK Newsline M-F at
1700-1730 UT. Feb 11, one hour after Mubarak`s resignation was announced
everywhere else, NHK is running stale barely-comprehensible mangled English
analysis by `experts` in studio of what happened yesterday, blissfully unaware
of what happened 60 minutes before.
I had always thought this was a live feed. OETA told me it is coming over from
NHK at the time they air it (unlike BBC at 2230 UT, delayed one sesquihour,
also painfully obvious during breaking news from Egypt lately).
Then it turns out that NHK has only 10 minutes of news, the rest documentary
filler, so it must be another holiday for them, with the `news` hole
pre-recorded, at least today, before momentous events in Egypt. So much for
NHK`s commitment to world news (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MALI. 17630, Feb 12 at 1445, CRI relay, weak carrier, but I can tell it is
not pumping or shifting like it was 24 hours earlier. By 1536 is strong enough
to // 13740 via Cuba in English, and a couple words ahead of 13740 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MOROCCO. 15341v, Feb 12 at 1533, RTM has still not shifted up to 15345,
nominally happening at 1500. If only they would stay on 15341 all day, away
from Argentina, which is incapable of anything beyond minor variations. Let`s
hope their new transmitter will be frequency-agile and enjoy smart management
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 7275, after not hearing Guinea on 7125, tuned up to here at 0654
Feb 12, and found S9+13 carrier, but just barely modulated with vocal music,
presumably R. Nigeria, Abuja, as TUNISIA`s clock-timer turns off 7275 at 0626*
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Three Tulsa MW frequencies are still simulcasting ``La
Qu? Buena`` hyper-promoted mostly music format: original 1530 KXTD Wagoner,
recently purchased 1270 KRVT Claremore, and bonus 1570 KZLI Catoosa, when
checked Feb 11 at 2139 UT. Of course, 1530 is a daytimer, and 1570 daytimer +
PSRA, so who cares about them?
1120, KEOR Sperry-Tulsa-Catoosa still off the air Feb 11 at 2141 UT, but a weak
talk signal from presumed KMOX beginning to show.
1110, the frequency hijacked from the original KEOR in Atoka, SE OK near TX, so
that The Metroplex could squeeze in yet another unneeded AM station, now KVTT,
but is it really on the air with 50 kW? Feb 11 at 2139 I hear nothing but KFAB
Omaha groundwave with that lunatic Glenn Beck as per schedule on delay.
FCC shows KVTT 5-tower array does have a deep null at about 355 degrees almost
toward us, but a minor lobe at 320, a bit of which might be audible
http://www.fcc.gov/ftp/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/1390900-111898.pdf
780, KSPI Stillwater still has its perpetual plus and minus 4 kHz parasitic
spurs obvious from hets on caradio stepping 770-780-790. Feb 11 at 2140 UT and
anytime.
640, WWLS, Moore-Norman-OKC, whose IBOC comes and goes, had gone Feb 11 at 2142
UT, but that allowed excessive analog splatter instead at least plus/minus 10
kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 9570, RVA Radio Blagovest still missing Feb 12 at 1516, while
VOA 9760 was VG (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. Interesting to note how different frequencies from same site
provide markedly different reception:
17705, BSKSA Arabic at 1448 Feb 12 is good with no flutter, while 17660 in
French is fair with heavy flutter. 17895 Arabic is poor with flutter. Per HFCC,
all are 500 kW from Riyadh; azimuths:
17660 270
17705 310
17895 295
310 is closest to USward, so naturally is best here. One might think 17660 was
aimed more northerly to get disrupted by the auroral zone, but something else
is causing this, aimed westward, apparently bothered by equatorial ionospheric
bumpiness.
15435, later at 1520 is still buzzless, VG with lite flutter, Qur`an sung and
spoken, // 17615 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 13810, via GERMANY, Feb 12 at 1441, Brother Scare is
talking about some of his frequencies and remarx that ``next week, will be on
3185 all night long``. See U S A, WWRB for more (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA. 15209.3v, still hearing het on WYFR 15210, Feb 12 around 1450
when WYFR is in Portuguese, 1503 in English. This has finally been identified
as YFR testing via the Ekala transmitter, so it`s Camping vs Camping!
Wolfgang B?schel forwards another inquiry about this from Nils Schiffhauer,
DK8OK on the A-DX list, who was getting 15209.36 in Hindi at 1525 Feb 12. Now
the answer is in Aoki, unlike my previous chex:
15210 FAMILY RADIO 1330-1430 1234567 Marathi 300 350 Colombo-Ekala CLN
15210 FAMILY RADIO 1430-1530 1234567 Hindi 300 350 Colombo-Ekala CLN
15210 FAMILY RADIO 1530-1630 1234567 English 300 350 Colombo-Ekala CLN 07954E
0706N WYFR b10 Jan. 30
Altho this really started long before Jan 30. See DXLD 11-03:
```UNIDENTIFIED. 15210-, Jan 17 at 1430, het on the lo side of WYFR
Portuguese. Previously reported by Eike Bierwirth, DXLD 11-02:
``9 Jan 2011, weak station, with some Asian language, religious? on
approx. 15209.35 kHz, apparently fading out, first heard at 1455 UT,
the sermon or whatever it is was not interrupted for the top of the
hour. Doesn't sound like WYFR Portuguese/Spanish to me, that might be
the carrier on 15210.0. 73, (Eike Bierwirth, Leipzig, Germany)``
A long shot, but I wonder if it could be this as in DXLD 11-01, on a
scrambled frequency? ``Victor Goonetilleke says Family Radio is
testing in English on 15120 via 35 kW Ekala, SRI LANKA at 1330-1630``.
Since FR on 15120 has yet to be heard by me, or anyone? on 15120, just
Saudi and Cuba before 15, Nigeria after (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST 11-03)```
Since then I have kept hearing the het caused by 15209.3v vs 15210. So my `long
shot` almost a month ago turns out to be correct.
Wolfgang suggests maybe it really is on 15120, with 15209.33 being a spur from
that; but I have yet to see any reports of YFR on 15120, and have never heard
anything but Nigeria there after 1500. I`m sure South Asians could easily
confirm whether anything from Sri Lanka is on 15120 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3843-LSB, Feb 12 until 0639* UT a net is wrapping up with NCS K5TRM,
until next Friday night. Mentions a website quickly but I can`t copy it. K5TRM
is Tandy R. Martin, per QRZ.com.
Apparently something to do with Mississippi? NO, Searching on him led to: Old

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1551 monitoring: Sat Feb 12 from 1501 confirmed on
WRMI 9955, weak with SAH from Taiwan and squeezed by adjacents such as 9960 VOA
Uzbek via Tinian, but no jamming; however, at 1515 check, lite pulse jamming
had attacked, but plenty considering weakness of WRMI. If WRMI ever gets its NW
antenna back in service, that should be enough to overcome less than
wall-of-noise jamming. Next WRMI airings are: Sat 1830, Sun 0900, 1630, 1830;
Mon 1230, 2230; Tue 1630, Wed 0200, 1630.
WOR 1551 also confirmed on 12160 WWCR, Sat Feb 12 at 1706. Final airing is
Sunday 0730 on 3215.
Will Martin heard WWRB announce just before the 0430 UT Friday airing of WORLD
OF RADIO on 3185 that ``effective 14 Feb 2011, all WWRB programming on 3185
will be moved to 5050 kHz.`` So that nice-and-clear airing of WoR on Thursday
nights (UT Friday) will henceforth be on 5050 instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. Saturday mornings bring a double-dose of Martha Garvin`s Musical
Memories, mostly hymns with her own piano accompaniment: Feb 12 after 1400 on
7490 with its heavily distorted audio processing; and after 1530 on 15825 with
much better audio but weaker signal here, lacking any sporadic-E enhancement.
At least OTH radar pulsing did not start until 15840, up to 15865. Current
program schedule shows five more times for her (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. Looking at my previous report that the website of KRVA-1600, The
Metroplex was blank, I click on it again Feb 12 at 0505 UT: now it`s not blank,
shows Mortensen Broadcasting, and antique logo for ``KRVA / AM 1600 / La Radio
Viva`` plus ``Uploading content... Thank You.`` which I take to be a hollow
promise, but will still check it again sometime. No linx on the homepage to
anything else about KRVA, not a letter of Vietnamese. Kirk Allen says while in
Houston he heard KRVA only in Vietnamese, except some English late at night

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
** ARGENTINA. 15344.7, approx. frequency for R. Nacional with sports coverage,
Feb 12 at 2248, VP with fading; checked this for comparison after hearing 15190
Brazil [q.v.] and they were about the same. Could not uncover anything on 13363
tnx to bubble jamming from a cable DTV box. Later in the next hour 15344.7 had
improved a bit (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. 15525, Feb 12 at 2352, fair signal with violin/piano music, quite
like that on NHK 17605 (see JAPAN [non]) but not //. 2356 Chinese announcement.
Uplooked later, 15525 is HCJB Australia, 100 kW, 340 degrees, HFCC registered
as 2200-2230 English, 2230-2430 Chinese, except Japanese 2230-2300 Sat & Sun
[meaning UT Fri & Sat??]. So HCJB gives NHK some competition in the
Sunday-mornings-are-for-classical-music tradition (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 15190, R. Africa apparently off Feb 12 at 2245, leaving channel to
R. Inconfid?ncia, Belo Horizonte, with announcement in Brazilian, but very poor
and fading; then played a version of ``Elephant Walk`` including some vocal. By
2354 signal was better peaking S9+10, and guess what, ``Elephant Walk`` again ?
program theme, or commercial? Then played rock song in English ``Yellow River``
= Rio Amarelo (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 5954.2, Feb 13 at 0005, R. Rep?blica has enough signal for
its Spanish via COSTA RICA to be readable vs noise from the DentroCuban Jamming
Command; even could make out some audio on the 5936+ spur hetting 5940 as WWCR
5935 was not yet on; match on 5972 overwhelmed by REE 5970 in English (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 11605, Sat Feb 12 at 2255 I am pleased to hear some
orchestral classical music; 2259 a fast SAH hits from the next station, and
before 2300 all we hear from this one is some audience applause, no
announcement, DW jingle and then open carrier despite the other station trying
to start.
Kudos to DW as another rare SW station not afraid to play classical music, even
on its Indonesian service, 22-23, 250 kW, 85 degrees via Madagascar.
Its weaker 11605 successor ought to have a much better signal here, being
Guiana French, 250 kW USward at 318 degrees for VOR in Spanish at 23-24, then
switching due south for Portuguese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUINEA. 7125, RTG still missing the evening of Feb 12, checked at 2303. Will
logs of last few days prove to have been its last gasp? Or first signs of a
sporadic revival? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 17605, NHK`s western classical music Sunday-morning ghetto
continues relayed via BONAIRE, 270 kW, 170 degrees but quite good here nowhere
near that azimuth, UT Sat Feb 12 at 2342 with final movement of Chaikofsky`s
Violin Concerto until 2348, Japanese announcement, and a violin/piano piece.
Something similar on 15525: see AUSTRALIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MALI. 15505, Feb 12 at 2250, weak signal in Chinese, figured it was China as
some W Pacific signals were audible on band, such as VG KSDA 15320, but 15505
is really an unusual half-hour Chinese broadcast at 2230 of CRI via Bamako,
HFCC and Aoki agree, 100 kW at 85 degrees. Aoki refers to CRI relays as Bamako
II, distinct from Bamako I = Mali`s own service on 5995, 7286 (?) (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 15280, Feb 12 at 2251, spirited discussion in Indonesian,
VG signal but with squeal, and audio feed is at lofi bitrate with artifacts.
This is RNW at 2200-2257, 100 kW, 225 degrees via IBB SAIPAN, where by the way
there are issues about the rent IBB is paying on the land for the transmitters;
see DXLD 11-06, NMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DGIEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, one pirate active this evening Feb 12: at 2304
comedy bit, ``prick up your ears and listen to this``, calypso song. 2309
parody dog food ad ``Pussy-Lickins`` with five dead cats in each bag, from
WPUP, ``right here on 43 meters, my name is Dr. Puppy ---; this puppy has to
QRT now``, mentioned Yoder, Belfast maildrop, United States of Puppies; ``WPUP
Shortwave Worldwide,`` but kept going with ``Puppy Love `` song; 2313 barking
and howling, and yet another song.
At this point I tuned away to Turkey, but back at 2321, sounded like same
announcer with a new identity, suggesting we ``hang garter belts, panties, and
other unmentionables outside your DX window for my unholiness to silently
collect``. 2326, ``Happy Valentine`s Day``; ``here I come in with my longue
tongue ... 43 meters ? I`m coming down on you, can you handle me, baby?``. 2332
``Voice of the Runaway Maharishi, Valentine`s Day Special``; QSL instruxions
with 3 units of postage to Providence RI or Wellsville NY maildrops, and you
may include ``delicious-smelling panty-hose`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 640, WWLS has some serious transmitter problem. Again today Feb 12
at 2111 UT, splattering badly, on caradio I now think it reaches up to 670;
hard to be sure whether splatter on 680 is coming from it or KGGF-690, both
with ESPN Radio tho out of synch. Listening on 650, I can hear some distorted
modulation as well as IBOC-like noise, so maybe it`s a mixture with the IBOC
portion out of order. Furthermore, like yesterday there is crackling on 640
itself. Is anybody paying attention at the studio? That should be obvious on
the off-air monitor, if any (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PORTUGAL [and non]. With only a sesquimonth to go in the B-10 season, RDPI
has done nothing to resolve the 12040 collision with Cuba they were informed
about early on. Feb 12 at 2253, RDPI sports is atop, but it`s messy with RHC
Spanish cochannel, a SAH apart; RDPI has much weaker // 11960; and at 2319 also
came across // RDPI on 7285 which is scheduled for this hour only, aimed
northeast across Europe.
Of its own volition, RHC doesn`t start 12040 until 2200 now, but there will be
a collision when extraordinary emissions of silly Lusitanian ballgames extend
past 2200. Meanwhile RHC is also on 12010 in the clear but with some hum
self-inflicted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. 7220, Feb 13 at 0009 in Russian with motorboating, not too
severe yet, but there should not be any --- listed as Golos Rossii, 500 kW, 295
degrees via Pridnestrovye for Mexico, Central America, Caribbean, NW South
America. Some QRhaM, which becomes less and less likely toward the upper edge,
tho entitled to go right up to 7299. So I compared with VOR in English up the
band:
7290, also via Pridnestrovye, was best, being 300 kW at 310 degrees for USA; //
7250 a lot weaker, despite being 500 kW, 315 degrees for same CIRAF zones, via
``Armavir``. At 0010, W&M were discussing arms limitations and suspicions about
NATO. They were trying to sound spontaneous but I think it was scripted. Both
had rather heavy Russian accents, as VOR seems to be making less effort to
employ announcers with North American or British accents. Their best ones have
died (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. Contrary to HFCC, WRTH and DX Mix News, V. of Turkey English to NAm
is still on 5960, Feb 12 at 2304 JBA; 2315 with VOT jingle, English ID, `DX
Corner` theme, but too poor to try to copy; while imaginary frequency 7335 is
occupied on Saturdays by huge WHRI signal predicating in English (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 15360, Feb 12 at 2357 poor signal with Bow Bells, so BBCWS is
warming up for two-hour relay via THAILAND, 250 kW, 25 degrees, also USward.
2359:30 quick ID with website bbc.co.uk, less Lilliburlero than we used to
hear, timesignal, 0000 Feb 13 midnight GMT timecheck, news headlines for a
minute before the real news. This would have been a good bet for full strike of
Big Ben on New Year`s Eve, propagation permitting (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1110, cf. yesterday`s report of nothing but KFAB Omaha audible here
in daytime; is KVTT The Metroplex really on with 50 kW? It does have a null
almost usward, and from another location on the west edge of Enid, and thus a
little closer to its 320 degree minor lobe, I am hearing a barely audible SAH
between KFAB and something else, Feb 12 at 2115 UT, clocked at 36 per minute =
0.6 Hz. Has anyone else measured the separation between these two stations?
Such info is hard to come by, even on the MW Offset listing. BTW, at this time,
1440 Spanish from The Metroplex was in well, i.e. skywave at the higher end of
the band already working, as KTNO does not make it here on groundwave (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
