** ANTARCTICA. 15476, completing another week of LRA36 absence, June 10 at 1302 no signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake June 10: quick check just before 1300 may not have caught them all: 13500, poor at 1258 13920, very poor at 1259 14700, very poor at 1259 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUINEA. 7125, June 10 at 0622, RTG, poor but detectable in AM, during local lightning storm producing power outage 0555-0945 UT, using DX-398 on battery, indoor random wire only. Had not heard it before 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ITALY [and non]. Alfredo Cotroneo of IRRS has notified us that WORLD OF RADIO has been canceled `for financial reasons`, but they will still have our program files available for random play on their webcast. The real reason is that Brother Scare is paying European Gospel Radio $10,000 a month, (all of this based on what BS has announced on broadcasts via WWRB/WWCR). IRRS has told us nothing about what their new programming will be. Once again on June 10 at 1250 on 9385, I happened to catch BS talking about this. Mentioned June 12 Pentecost, but unclear if this is supposed to be the start date. Said he would be on 7 days via 1368 in Milan and 1566 in Rome, from 9 pm to 2 am Central European Time (once said ending at 12 am instead, mistake?), and also 18-20 UT daily on new SW 7290 for Europe, Africa, Middle East. The IRRS online schedule has been updated to show European Gospel Radio with The Overcomer Ministry daily at 18-24 UT on the two MW, plus 7290 for the first two hours. That means that IRRS has blown away not only WORLD OF RADIO but all other programming on their two-hour 7290 broadcast. 9510 is now shown only on Saturdays at 08-09, and Sundays 0930-1200, not including any DX programs. As always, IRRS will not reveal the true transmitter sites, even to paying customers, but Ivo Ivanov in Bulgaria has deduced that 9510 has been moved from Rimavská Sobota, SLOVAKIA, to Tiganeshti, ROMANIA. Likely the same for 7290, but not yet for sure. That should make for different reception quality, if anyone cared to listen to The Last Day Prophet of God (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MAURITANIA. 7245, June 10 at 0622, IGIM with usual Arabic chanting, poor signal in local lightning storm during power outage, but better than Guinea (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SOUTH AFRICA. 7230, June 10 at 0529 English news past 0530 about Africa including Libya, ``rise and shine in East Africa``, 0532 report from Luanda. Poor signal also with local T-storm noise, but I don`t usually hear anything here. It`s Channel Africa, now scheduled M-F only at 05-08. Then checked 7285 for Sonder Grense and it was stronger in Afrikaans. This correlates with both 100 kW from Meyerton, but azimuths 5 and 275 degrees respectively (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SUDAN [and non]. 13620, June 10 at 0518, R. Dabanga singing ID with usual good signal via MADAGASCAR, but also with continuous tone jamming. Due to independent fading, and a subaudible heterodyne, it`s clear that the tone is coming from another transmitter, not the same one as someone suspected in the case of 11500 in the evening, where it went off at the same time as RD (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1568 monitoring: confirmed on 5050 WWRB, UT Friday June 10, but did not start until 0338 as the preceding preacher ran way over. Good modulation level and stayed on past 0405 for the conclusion. This has now become the only reliable SW signal for WOR. Brady Murray of WWCR has also notified us that they are CANCELLING WORLD OF RADIO, after many years, as a result of my comments about Dr Gene Scott! WORLD OF RADIO has also been canceled on IRRS/NEXUS-IBA/IPAR, 7290 Saturdays at 1800, replaced by Brother Scare: see ITALY [and non]. WRMI 9955 and webcast airings: Friday 1430, Saturday 0800, 1730, Sunday 0800, 1530, 1730 and more into Wednesday. On WRN via SiriusXM 120: Sat & Sun 1730, Sun 0830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 15825, June 10 at 1300 inbooming to S9+25 with sporadic-E help, again producing the dirty scratchy spur field extending from 15635 to 15725, peaking around 15665 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 12100, June 10 at 0520, WTWW, VG with Portuguese Bible reading starting a capítulo 22. At 0614 retune, heard English words with music ``512``, perhaps the tail of an ID which seem to run at odd times like this rather than hourtops, and onward with Bible in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. Almost three weeks after the non-Rapture threw WYFR programming into chaos, mostly reverting to English instead of many other scheduled languages, June 10 some other tongues have begun to reappear, more or less where they were before: 0523, 9715 // 9505 in Spanish instead of // 9680 English. 0524, 9355 and 9385 Arabic, 9985 Spanish but not // 9715. 0605, 9985 Italian; 9355 and 9385 French 1307, 11970 French A number of minor languages on relays have been canceled, according to research by Ivo Ivanov (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. 9330-CUSB, WBCQ continues missing for a few days, no signal June 10 at 0528 or 1255. I have not checked further in the daytime; could have been recurtailed to a few hours rather than 24/7, but if it is completely off, now`s our chance to hear SYRIA including English at 21-22 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 9805, June 10 at 0633, big open carrier with some hum. Probably Greenville-B tuning up for much later R. Martí broadcast from 0900; France in Hausa was scheduled here until 0630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ### ---[Start Commercial]--------------------- Order your WRTH 2011: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2011 ---[End Commercial]----------------------- ________________________________________ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
