GUYANA - 3289.98, Guyana Broadcasting Corp., Georgetown, fairly good signal
0150-0225 3/18, first time heard GBC during my local evening in a long time.
Very laid back OM, EE anmts, kinda like the deejay a smooth jazz station. Mix
of slinky guitar 1950s instrumentals, ballads, local ads. At 0204, "Here's a
song by Marty Robbins!". Then into a couple old tunes, the second recognized
as
"El Paso" by MR. Decent power (esp at peaks, at the tops of the fade cycle)
but
a very muffled, undermodulated signal, and very high floor on the local noise
level this evening. Believe they may have indeed recently made some xmtr
adjustments, as lots of us now seem to be hearing this one. A fun logging! (R
Perry, Illinois)

** CANADA. 2749-SSB, March 18 at 0450 marine weather mentioning gale warnings,
low temps in several locations as -5 C, refers to Atlantic Daylight Time,
Newfoundland, and VCN. According to
http://www.dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm#O%20ATL
there are three Nova Scotia and one Quebec station here on alternating
schedule, the latter being VCN, Grindstone, Magdalen Islands. Trouble is, none
of them have a time shown anywhere near 0450. See DXLD 10-48 for another 2749
log (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake March 18:
8400, good but fluttery at 1234, better than // 10300
9350, good with flutter at 1344, not // 10300. Both gone at 1408. 9350 is
presumably today`s landing spot for hoparound SOH.
10300, VG but flutter at 1342 and now 8400 is off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 49m full of RHC signals, March 18 at 1158, RHC IS on 6000, 6095, 6140,
but open carrier on 6150; also RNV IS on 6060 as that transmission is closing.
RHC is about to open, and at 1206 the four above are modulating in //. We shall
see if all this moves to an 1100 UT start as of Sunday with DST of UT -4 in
vigor in Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 15660, Friday March 18 at 1333, YL in tonal language with clear
enunciation, probably not a native conversational speaker, such that I did not
recognize it as Thai. But soon gave Bangkok PO Box, and spelt out [email protected].
Signal level surpassing neighbor Greece 15650.
Wait a minute! Aoki and HFCC show KSDA, not in Thai, but in Hmong on Thursday
and Friday, and never Thai at this hour on 15660! But wait another minute! WRTH
2011 shows there is a Thai broadcast M/W/F at 1330 from KSDA but on 11935, so
they got their feeds crossed? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 3325, March 18 at 1243 M&W discussion in Indonesian, good signal
peaking S9+20 from RRI Palangkaraya. Also music on 3345, S9+18, presumed RRI
Ternate. At 1300, 3325 in music, and 3345 just about gone. Enid sunrise today
was 1238 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 6120, NHK World Radio Japan, 1200 broadcast via CANADA all
about the triple-whammy, toward the end amid report on food and supply
shortages in shelters, when cut off abruptly at 1229. Normally NHK would be
wrapping up semi-hour transmission by then. I can understand their wanting to
squeeze in as much reportage about the situation as possible, but they need to
tell the relay sites! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. OETA OKLA is still carrying NHK World `Newsline`, M-F at
1600-1630 UT, but March 18 they opened saying it was 11 pm in Japan, which
means it`s not live but two hours old, not so good for `breaking news` of which
there is plenty these days (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. 3974 the center March 18 at 1247 of mostly motorboating noise,
over some talk in unID language. Ron Howard says this is typical of KCBS
Pyongyang 3975v, not RRI Pontianak 3976. See my previous March 8 log in DXLD
11-10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. 17725, VOAf from the GJ, March 18 at 1421 still off in
never-never-land, YL about Libyan revolution and the people, closing ``a
special program, The Way to Freedom``. Like overthrowing Q`Daffy? Hardly. Still
no 21695 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 15460, RRI good in English March 18 at 1220 with song, and soon
found weaker // on 15430. The 12-13 broadcast is now propagating well as far as
CNAm, 15460 toward UK so also USward. Everything moves one UT hour earlier
March 27, due to DST in most of Europe, just to put this transmission back to a
more inconvenient and less propagable hour for us, 1100-1156 on new A-11
frequencies 15210 15430 17510 17670 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15580, March 18 at 1416 open carrier, typical of Greenville warmup
for later usage; 1419 brief tone test and off at 1419:43* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. As hoped, the Thursday 2100 airing of WORLD OF RADIO 1556 on 9955
WRMI was not directly jammed --- just some bleed from 9965 and also suffering
from WWCR 9980 overload, when checked March 17 at 2105. DentroCuban jamming of
WRMI has been starting at 2200, its former sign-on time weekdays before DST
shift.
Next WOR airings on WRMI: Sat 0800, 1400, 1730, Sun 0800, 1530, 1730. On WWCR:
Fri 2030 on 7465, Sat 1600 on 12160, Sun 0630 on 3215. On IPAR: Sat 1900 on
6090, 1566, 1368. WWRB airing of WOR confirmed UT Friday March 18 at 0330 on
2390 only, not 5050 still running barker loop (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 13570, March 18 at 1314, VG signal but distorted modulation from
WINB, which has changed its schedule again, no more 9405, but 13570 instead, as
posted at http://www.winb.com/schedule.htm
Frequency Schedule (EDT)
13570 kHz, 0000 - 0629
9265 kHz, 0630 - 0759
13570 kHz, 0800 - 1659
9265 kHz, 1700 - 2229
13570 kHz, 2230 - 2359
Or in UT by frequency: 9265 at 1030-1159, 2100-0229; all other times on 13570:
0230-1029, 1200-2059. A new program schedule effective March 13 is also on that
page, nothing but gospel huxters 24/7. For once, they have the EDT/UT time
conversions right. Also look for harmonics 18530, 27140 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 15550-USB, March 18 at 1417, WJHR screaming preacher with
IRIB Arabic as BFO. Not quite enough carrier insertion from faraway Sirjan 500
kW to keep WJHR from still sounding scratchy (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** VATICAN [and non]. 9865 via Sackville, CANADA, R. Vaticana is still/again in
English after 1200 UT when checked March 18 at 1209, VG with news about Gbagbo,
Aristide; objecting to hate crimes against Christians in Europe being no big
deal compared to such against Moslems and Jews.
21680, weak signal March 18 at 1309, can`t make out language yet, Spanish? Not
// 21610 and 21540 Spain, which might make a mixing product 70 kHz higher, but
the fundamentals are really too weak for that. By 1318 has strengthened enough
to tell it`s in Italian --- and if it`s Italian, it can`t be Rai which
abandoned SW a few years ago, and most likely Vatican in the world`s #21
language by number of speakers, per Wikipedia.
Yes, R. Vaticana ID in passing at 1320, and sounder (not IS) at 1329-1330*. SMG
site uses 21680 off and on between 0955 and 1330 per HFCC, this broadcast being
1255-1330 at 170 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
