And today - the 31st - I heard at 0645UT music and Bible reading in English,
and which was later announced as Nightwatch, on 7520, 7730, 9355, 9505,
9680, 9715, 9985, 11520 and 11580.
This transmission was joined at 0700 by 9385 which had been carrying French
until that hour.
There was a multi-lingual announcement at 0700 - I think one was Polish -
and in English it was said that "our President Harold Camping" would follow
on air later. I didn't stay to listen, so
don't know if he did put in an appearance or if this was just an old canned
announcement.

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, as feared from yesterday`s early dump off the air by
LRA36, no sign of it today May 31: 1236 tune-in but no trace of a carrier aside
China 15480, nor at 1236, 1257, 1308, nor further in that hour.
Extracontinental signals on 19m band were quite weakened, however, K-index at
1200 being 4, altho May 30 solar flux reached 112 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. 15400, May 31 at 1300, HCJB Global Voice Australia signing off in
English; 15340 at 1314, brief ID in English amid other tongues, atop the
Moroccan 15341 het (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11780, May 30 at 2128, I can hear Brazilian accent aside much
stronger Anguilla 11775, so RNA is still on the air despite absence overnight
into last UT Sunday. I wonder if they are really running on greatly reduced
power now, or just poor propagation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11815, May 31 at 0540 with romantic music, 0542 announcement in
Brazilian intonation, so R. Brasil Central, Goi?nia. Poor signal but the OBOB
(only Brazilian on band) that was audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake May 31:
16980, poor at 1327
16100, fair at 1327
15545, JBA at 1326
14900, poor at 1228; very good at 1325
14700, very poor at 1325, contrary to 14900
13920, fair at 1228; none in the 12`s; fair at 1325
10965, very poor at 1233; not on 10970 for a change
7970, very poor at 1235
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA [and non]. 9526-, May 31 at 1317 only a JBA carrier on this
perpetual off-frequency of VOI, while RRI 9680 domestic relay was considerably
better tho with ACI from CRI Russian USward on 9675.
Since it`s Tuesday I want to hear the `Exotic Indonesia` hookup with RRI
Banjarmasin if it happen again, so am forced to exercise my rights as a netizen
to turn on the computer and listen online instead.
On one computer I tried http://www.voi.co.id first on Firefox but it just sat
there, so on to IE, where the audible greeting in poor English, ``dignifying
the ultimate noble of human being``, autolaunched right away and then connected
to live broadcast. A few minutes later the stream also started on Firefox with
an echo; hardly needed both.
By now it was 1342, and the Banjarmasin guy was indeed on telling a folk tale,
then over to a YL with a hard-to-understand accent even tho `reception` is now
loud & clear --- well, the audio quality is really rather degraded, including a
ringing sound, especially from Banjarmasin. 1349 she says ``that`s all from
Banjarmasin``, but it wasn`t --- then OM is back conversing with anchor in Jak,
on how to get somewhere away from Banjarmasin on motorbike.
He calls the Jak YL something like `Nuka` or `Noka`, and in 1356 credit list
includes ``me, Faturan``, or something like that. The closing song from Banj
was noticeably lower-fi than the closing song from Jak which followed. It
started to loop at the end, but they quickly faded it out. And ID with the
three imaginary frequencies, 9525, 15150 and 11785.
While inaudible SW presumably switched to Indonesian at 1400 vs the ChiCom het
(same parameters as 9675, 37 degrees until then), the webcast continued in
English with `Newsline` at 1403-1405 by a different YL, with a very heavy
accent, including: banx will be open as usual on Friday June 3, despite that
being a ``compulsory day of corrective leave`` for Christ`s Ascension Day.
What? That sounds suspiciously unIslamic. But when is it really? Various
Christian faxions, even within the RCC in the USA, can`t agree, but how about
Thursday June 2 for starters:
http://catholicism.about.com/od/holydaysandholidays/f/2011_Ascension.htm
Is it a big holiday too, whenever at Babcock`s South Atlantic Relay?
1405, `live` rock music concert clip starts. Turns out to be ``All Night
Long``, but not the original by Lionel Ritchie, one of my favorites. May be the
theme song of the web-only VOI service in English. 1410 VOI ``Sound of
Dignity`` ID, new live DJ on the ``RRI World Service`` says he`s on the fourth
floor of the RRI building in Jakarta, ``for a few hours onward``, to include
sometime later a weekly network program with RRI channel 2, Denpasar (Bali;
which had shown up on SW briefly a few weeks ago instead of Banjarmasin at
13-14). After weather for Indonesia from Sumatera to Papua, he obviously
expects to be heard worldwide, mentioning cities in Asia, Australia, Europe,
North America, most of them rainy.
Then I was distracted by TV DX from Kansas City area [see USA], meanwhile had
trouble getting the VOI stream going on another computer, as CODECs had to be
installed on both browsers, but finally got it, mostly music; at 1455 foreign
exchange rates for the rupiah; another Newsline until 1504. While the audio
kept playing it caused everything else to crash, so enough of that as I have to
restart. There was also a warning over the VOI website about ``not safe to rely
on system timezone settings``. Ah, DXing the Internet is so different from
DXing SW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, May 30 at 2114, R. Kuwait is still on air with Arabic,
following English supposed to close at 2100. Much better signal now than //
17550 which stays on at least until 2400. But at 2125 recheck, 15540 was
finally off. Slipshod operation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PORTUGAL. 17575, RDPI, May 31 at 1329, fair at best, with wonderful
Portuguese music we shall sorely miss after this last day on SW; weaker during
the following hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [and non]. 9675, May 31 at 0537, REE COSTA RICA relay is again on
wrong frequency instead of 9630, in `Paisajes y Sabores` program; suffered from
even stronger WYFR 9680 ACI, but left 9625 unQRMed for CBC NQ open carrier;
unfortunately, that was also missing today. Do they forget at Cariari what
season is in progress? 9675 was the B-10 channel.
As for Marty Delf?n`s appearance on REE English at 0000 UT Tuesday, Mark Coady
in Ontario found 6055 absent on UT May 31. I suppose we should check the
alternate frequency for that, 5970, used last winter, altho not currently
registered. Fortunately, these are archived via

with `Press Talk` starting 13 minutes into the hour:
``After the news and sports comes the first edition of Press Talk, in which
Justin Coe and Frank Smith talk to the program's guests, journalists Martin
Delfin of the English edition of El Pa?s newspaper and freelance journalist Gil
Carbajal, about events being covered in the Spanish press, the foremost of
which is the change of leadership in Spain's governing Socialist Workers
Party``.
Marty is the one with an American accent other than Coe. This lasted until :37,
then `North by Southwest`, ``a taste of Britain in Spain`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9479, May 31 at 1307, just as I tuned by WTWW, it dropped off the air
for less than a minute during a cowboy hymn by PPP, then stayed on for his
end-times predications (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. I knew tropo from the north was up, when my feeder for Indonesia set
on 90.7 MHz had QRM to cope with, so turned on the DTV and rotated the antenna,
May 31 around 1430 UT, to find signals decoding from Kansas City area, with
true RF channels first:
34, 4-1, WDAF DT, Regis (sure looked like WDRF on the PSIP font),
4-2, WDAF SD with AntennaTV, Ernie Kovacs movie ``Operation Mad
``Ball, confused with 27, KFOR, OKC, 4-3 with same
41, 38-1, KMCI-TV; didn`t take time to explore all the subchannels
42, 41-1, KSHB-TV NBC; 41-2, Action Weather Plus same look as KFOR 4-2
47, 62-1, KSMO-TV religious
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15400, May 30 at 1810, only BBC heard today, no `Balkan` music
test, tho I did not check later as it was audible past 2000 on May 29. Whence?
Let`s check once again May 31; see also AUSTRALIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

Subject: [HCDX] Space Shuttle Landing vs Daytime MWDX
Message-ID: <[email protected]>

It looks like we are out of luck again for a possible repeat of the
extraordinary daytime MW DX opening we caught a couple years ago when the Space
Shuttle was landing across the USA.

If STS 134 lands on schedule at 0635 UT June 1, it will come in over
Mexico/Central America in the middle of the night. If it is one orbit later, it
will be over Mexico from a more westerly direxion, per:
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/shuttlemissions/sts134/news/landing.html
If there should be a further delay to the next orbit, it might come in over the
southern USA, but still at night. Only delays beyond that (or a change of
landing site) could put it into a daytime situation. But let`s be alert for any
such changes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
