** ANTARCTICA. 15476, since LRA36 was detectable again on June 16, I expect to
hear it on June 17, trying from 1230, but nothing; 1232 I think I may hear a
carrier beat, but cannot be sure, and no further signs of it at 1242, 1254. Is
this another holiday back in the homeland? No, but per list in DXLD 11-21, June
15 was, a day I did not check and Ron Howard did not report it either (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. On rare occasions when I am ready to monitor before 0500 UT, I now
look for Firedrake, as recently logged some frequencies trying to block the
Chicom noontime hour of Sound of Hope. June 17 at 0456, FD is JBA on 17170,
with heavy flutter, and frequency instability caused by Doppler, until cut off
at 0500:05*. None had been found on lower frequencies in previous few minutes,
but there were lots of CNR1 and CRI frequencies incoming well enough on 15 and
17 MHz bands.
Firedrake later June 17:
10300, fair at 1153
11500, fair at 1153
12980, fair at 1229
13500, poor at 1155
Firedrake June 18:
10300, good at 1243; fair at 1335
11500, fair at 1251, // 10300; fair at 1333
12270, good at 1252; good at 1333
12980, poor at 1252; poor at 1331
13130, very poor at 1253; fair at 1331
13920, good at 1252
14720, fair at 1257, instead of usual 14700. SOH tried to pull a fast one and
jump to this frequency, but the ChiCom monitors caught them; 14720 still JBA at
1331
15430, good at 1341 vs something audible, i.e. V. of Tibet via UAE
15900, fair at 1257
15970, good at 1329, but not before 1300
16100, good at 1330
16980, very poor at 1257; fair at 1329
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5040, as I tune across RHC, June 17 at 0455, sign-off message is
running, mentioning strange frequencies including 9600, 12000, presumably for
the upcoming morning transmissions, but neither has been in (intentional) use
by RHC for a long time. Presumably another outdated script/canned announcement
I must try another time to copy completely for great amusement. Or have they
suddenly made schedule changes? No, still neither mentioned here:
http://www.radiohc.cu/index.php/de-interes/frecuencias.html
Then played national anthem. 5040 normally closes down circa 0500 and I did not
check it further, but Wolfgang B?schel was still hearing it at 0530 the same
date, off by 0532 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, R. Kuwait, June 17 at 1945 as I tune in, the
get-out-by-June-30-or-be-deported PSA for illegal immigrants is playing yet
again. Various articles of the decree are read, separated by bits of ``Tubular
Bells``, theme from ``The Exorcist``, hee hee, RK with a sense of humor about
Kuwait exorcising IIs.
Very good summer reception on this English frequency unknown in the studio, and
unpropagating in the winter. After news headlines at 2050, recheck at 2053
found that announcement playing yet2 again.
17550, R. Kuwait in Arabic, June 17 at 2003, even better than 15540; napdozed
during most of this semihour as great Arabic music was playing mixed with YL
narration, about what? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 17510, June 17 just as I tune in at 1157, I hear one note of music
and carrier cut. Yes, it`s the final note of the RRI IS, ending the English
hour at 1100, registered in HFCC to last until 1200, but they always end 3
minutes earlier. This is 300 kW, 307 degrees from Tiganeshti to W Europe, and
consequently onward to NAm, propagation permitting, which it does these summer
days.
15195, June 18 at 1302, RRI Romanian service is playing some novelty/comedy
songs, sounds like fun. This is 12-14 UT, 300 kW, 285 degrees from Galbeni to
France, fair and somewhat offbeam for US (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [non]. 17850, Friday June 17 at 2000 REE via Costa Rica with
timesignal, UT+2 timecheck, and then open carrier until 2001:32*. No longer
troubled by WYFR on the 17845 side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [and non]. 17795, June 17 at 1950-1959:30* BBCWS with `From Our Own
Correspondent`, report from Tunisia; poor but generally readable. This is one
of countless broadcasts benefiting from WYFR`s drastic cutback [see USA!];
until today had been blocked by Okeechobee on 17795 from 1200 to 2145. BBC is
on 17795 at 16-18, 55 degrees from Ascension, and 18-20, 180 degrees from
Skelton (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1569 monitoring: June 17 at 2145 I get an e-mail from
Allan Weiner of WBCQ: ``Hi Glenn, Sorry to hear what WWCR did. Not cool.
Anyway, We have you scheduled Wednesdays 5:30-6 pm Eastern and Thursdays 5:30-6
pm Eastern on 7415. Hope that helps a bit. Allan``. And quickly confirmed on
webcast, Thursday 2130 UT as well as Wednesday 2130. The Thursday broadcast
should allow us to get the new edition on the air quickly. Thanks, Allan!
WOR also confirmed on WWRB, 5050, UT Friday 0331.
All the times on WRMI: Fri 1430, Sat 0800, 1500, 1730, Sun 0800, 1530, 1730,
Mon 1130, 1530, 2130, Tue 1530, Wed 1530, Thu 0330, 1500, 2100 for a total of
fifteen chances. Thanks, Jeff!
Last week we found 9330 WBCQ missing for several days. John H Carver explains
in the dxldyg: ``Friday night on Allan Weiner Worldwide he mentioned that he
had left the station for a couple of days on an errand and while gone three
transmitters had gone down and he had worked mostly nonstop till the day of his
show repairing everything that had broken.``
However, 9330 missing again at 1336 check June 18.
Last weekend we were away and did not even attempt to monitor WWCR at the times
formerly broadcasting WORLD OF RADIO; however, Friday June 17 at 2030 on 15825
we have been ``Unshackled``! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. The SW bands are drastically different now, lacking WYFR on
up to 5 or 6 frequencies each! Effective June 17, WYFR has cut back to 22-05 UT
only on up to 9 frequencies at once (plus one until 0700 with RTI relay, 5950).
Now all night, in the morning and most of the day, WYFR is nowhere to be heard.
That opens many opportunities for other stations to glom onto needed
frequencies, especially US outlets as the abandoned ones have already been
`cleared` by FCC and HFCC. It also resolves many clashes about which nothing
was ever done before; e.g., see UK 17795. 9625 no longer blocking CBCNQ. 11830
no longer colliding with Cuba after 1300, etc., etc., etc. We could still hear
YFR via TAIWAN 11530 before 1300 June 18.
The full new schedule has already been published and analyzed in the DXLD
yahoogroup. Here`s the condensed version:
Revised A-2011 Frequency Schedule for WYFR effective 1600 UT on JUNE 17, 2011

17725 2145 0200 13 YFR 100 140 902 POB,SP,POA,SPA
(Evelyn Marcy, WYFR Okeechobee, June 17, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Analysis of above: relays of R. Taiwan International are included; the 05-07
period is for RTI only. Note that the two 50 kW units are no longer listed, all
100 kW. Hour-by-hour total transmitter usage:
2145-2200 3 = warmup only?
2200-2245 6
2245-2300 8
2300-0045 9
0045-0100 10
0100-0300 9
0300-0400 5
0400-0500 4
0500-0700 1
The A and B after EN, SP and PO must mean two different program streams per
language. Ct/Hk = Cantonese/Hakka from RTI.
YFR has also made drastic reduxions in overseas relays, but quite a few remain
