** BRAZIL. As we`re almost to equinox, European summer signals on 25m in the
nightmiddle are dying out, but with K-index-5 boost, I could detect poor
southerly signals on three Brazilian frequencies at 0522 Sept 10, 11765, 11815
and 11925 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 6205, Sept 10 at 0528, VTC/BaBCock music loop fill after Vietnam
relay from 6175 is weakly mixing with CRI English audio from 6190, i.e.
Sackville leapfrog another 15 kHz higher until 6175 and 6205 both go off at
0529* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHAD. 6165, Sept 10 at 0530, news in French by M&M announcers, ``Bonjour``,
fair signal, S9+15 or SINPO 35433; in the clear once Bonaire finishes at 0527
and it`s not too late for Ndjamena to propagate, and whose window will continue
improving fallward. Bonaire and Portugal also occupy 6165 at 0400-0500,
supposedly with a 3-minute break at 0427 when you might hear Chad for a bit if
it`s really on before listed *0430 in WRTH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Sept 10:
7970, very poor at 1224
A thoro bandscan at 1240-1255 found: nothing 10-19 MHz
14700, JBA at 1447; so JBA it could have been imaginary
15280, JBA at 1309 with flutter
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. Following the Sept 8 anomaly on 17625, I want to check again Sept 9,
but at 1900 I am out accessing only the DX-398 portable with whip. On BFO, I
can detect there is a very weak and fluttery signal on 17625, and an even
weaker one on 15270. The only thing in HFCC on either is Cairo`s English to WAf
at 1900-2030 on 15270. So now I`m thinking they have just added another
frequency rather than switched to a wrong one.
The latest HFCC info for ERTU does show a second channel for this sesquihour in
English, at
http://hfcc.org/data/schedbyfmo.php?seas=A11&fmor=ERU
but it`s 11510! With exactly same parameters from Abu Zabaal as 15270, 250 kW
at 250 degrees.
(It`s SOP for Cairo to register wooden alternatives without flagging them as
such. The 1900-2245 service to Europe, concluding with another sesquihour in
English, is listed with Abis both on 5770 and the real 6270.) 17625 does not
work out to be a leapfrog mixing product, either.
Next check at 1953, also on the portable, same signals on 17625 and 15270. Back
on the FRG-7 with full antenna at 2017, 17625 is gone (as it was yesterday
after 1956), but 15270 is still there, very poor carrier until off at 2029:30*
or so.
I was hoping someone else would check this out 24 hours after my initial
report, but nothing has come in. Maybe I`ll have a third chance Sept 10. Geomag
storms are not the best situation for any such receptions; Kuwait 15540 was
very poor too on Sept 9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE. 7295, Sept 10 at 0526, TDF Issoudun is back to Qur`an from Algeria
rather than English from R. Japan as 48 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE [non]. 21690, Friday Sept 9 at 2035, frenetic dance party music and
wild DJ; 2055 mentioned S?n?gal, closing `Couleurs Tropicales`` show
recommended by Mike Cooper, music right up to a few sex before 2100 R-F-I ID.
Mike also forwards an announcement from RFI website
http://www.rfi.fr/general/20110909-journee-speciale-11-septembre-rfi
that they will have special 9/11 programming all day Sept 11, which I assume
will be on 21690 via GUIANA FRENCH from 17 to 22; try 15300 elsewhen, but for
best results better listen online (or onsatellite as Mike does). The K-index at
21 Sept 9 was 4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 5765-USB, AFN is on today, Sept 10 at 1226 discussing bullying, not //
KOSU with NPR `Weekend Edition Saturday` any more; 1228 string of PSAs and
promos, including a special 9/11 show on AFN ``Sunday at 5`` [what zone??],
also for VA, USN, etc. 1230 ``We are back on Saturday morning``, OM sounds like
Lester Holt, with YL, so probably NBC-TV `Today` show reopening on the semihour
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. 7245, Sept 10 at 0526, IGIM is on early again with strumming
music, marred by ham hets or whistles. Get used to it: any broadcaster in
Region 1 has every right to be there as long as they aren`t targeting the
Americas (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 730, once owned by XEX, now degraded to only 100 kW, is now shared
with an octet of other Mexicans, including:
730, Sept 10 at 0548 UT, ``Radio Viva Villa`` jingle atop SAH jumble:
730 XEHB Radio Viva Villa Hidalgo del Parral, Chih. 50,000 1,000
850, Sept 10 at 1214 in KOA null with SAH, song ``Yo tengo un amigo que me ama;
su nombre es Jes?s``. Suspect it`s this one in Cant? with religious name:
850 XEM Radio Renacimiento Chihuahua, Chih. 5,000 500
Yes, from his separate listings by state, link to its own website
http://renacimiento850.com/default.aspx
confirms it`s one of Mexico`s few gospel-huxter format stations; hmm, XEM calls
used to apply to Mexicali (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 1300, Sept 10 at 1208, Chihuahua mentioned, no doubt XEP
Ju?rez which often dominates with its 38 kW day power. Noticed IBOC noise on
each side and about decided it had IBOC, but then KAKC Tulsa took over 1300
too. Interesting that its IBOC sidebands preceded audibility on analog center
channel (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. No doubt prompted by the geomag storm, sporadic E erupted Sept 10;
first saw signs of activity on analog ch 2 around 1450 UT.
1509 on 2, weak pixure lox in with antenna S, but peaks more toward SW, a game
show in Spanish with kids; bug I can`t make out in lower left, in and out
1527 on 2, toons from net-5 take over, usual bug UR
1528 on 3, net 5 toons too
1540 on 2, now heavy CCI, but 4 is clear with net-5 toons
1540 on 5, how-to show? And signs of video on ch 6
1552 on 5, travelog? Talking about ``el istmo``, large script bug in upper
right hard to make out and partly overscanned on my monitor. Finally make out
the bottom word on it is Fiesta, while in the upper-left, block letters upper
and lower case: Tele Ver --- so it`s XHAJ, las Lajas; 1559 credit roll had Tele
Ver in the lower right and I got a shot of it.
1603 on 5, a bottom-crawler with warning about Hurac?n Nate, probably still
XHAJ on the coast
1604 on 4, net-5 has 20 kHz CCI from station with talking woman head, and
another crawler, probably hurricane advisory
1610 on 5, still Tele Ver with movie or drama, showing a procession
1630, MUF falls to ch 4 or so; 3 still with net-5 toons
1710 on 4, fades up with hurricane crawler; bug in UR looks like a 9 or a
question mark
1721 on 3, still in with net-5 toons
1735 on 5, MUF up again, Fiesta bug in UR, so XHAJ again in drama; there are
more different bugs in UL and LR. Weaker signals on 2, 3, 4, 6.
1738 on 4, net-2 program promo for something at 8:00 pm
1803 on 4, f bug in LL, so it`s Foro TV, net-4, news with excerpts of Pres.
Calder?n speech
1810, mostly weak signals in and out on 2, 3, 4, and 5, with occasional brief
frustrating peaks. The opening continues as it is time to wrap up and dispatch
this report (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 780, Sept 10 at 0547, fast SAH from open carrier in WBBM null, and
this time I can detect spur carriers on 776 and 784, so it`s daytimer KSPI
Stillwater for sure, leaving its 250-watt transmitter on all night (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES [non]. 15260, Sept 10 at 1444 M&M conversation, in S Asian
language, fair with some music. O yes, it`s RVA via VATICAN, Urdu at 1430-1500
to CIRAF zone 41 = back to Pakistan, not UAE (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SAO TOME. 4960, Sept 10 at 0520, VOA Hausa with fair signal; 0534 carrier
still on. Not often audible, perhaps boosted by geomag storm with K-index 5 at
0300. Since it`s Saturday, there`s no French in the 0530-0630 gap before
another daily semihour in Hausa at 07. This is 100 kW aimed 30 degrees from
Pinheira.
Charles Lewis, formerly at VOA, presents lots of slides of this station, plus
another album about the island of S?o Tom?, as well as VOA Kavala et al. via
http://picasaweb.google.com/s9ss160m
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 15450, Saturday Sept 10 at 1247, VOT`s fortnightly `DX Corner` is
underway, YL reading media (mostly NOT DX) items. Since reception was poor and
I tuned in late, I later retrieved the podcast at:
http://www.trt.net.tr/medya1/ses/2011/09/08/f3100738-9a8c-49e8-b9dc-ca502f990d1e.mp3
and listened carefully. There were ten items, and all but two of them had
appeared recently on the Media Network blog. One of them about Radio JPJ, 3360
in Per?, was equally obviously quoted verbatim from http://www.dxing.info
SOURCES WERE NEVER ATTRIBUTED, as VOT continues to RIP OFF THE WORK OF OTHERS
for its DX program (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15809.5 and 15840.6, Sept 9 at 2023, with sporadic E boost, WWCR-1
spurs from 15825 are clearly audible with same modulation, reaching S9+8
themselves, but this time no modulation spike fields in the 15.5-15.7 range;
strange. After 2030 the trio are still carrying `Unshackled` filler, WWCR
having been unable to sell the time they took away from WORLD OF RADIO two
months ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1581: besides the numerous WRMI 9955 airings:
UT Sunday 0400 on WTWW 5755
UT Monday 0300v on WBCQ Area 51 5110v-CUSB
Full schedule including many more webcasts:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7450, Sept 10 at 0535, one side of intermittent two-way in USB,
sounds Greekish but not certain; happens to be a frequency registered by ERT
Avlis for certainly Greek AM broadcasts all the way from 17 to 08 but not
really in full use, ERT being a monumental wooden-frequency station, even
pretending Greenville and Delano relays still exist (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

Greetings all,
USA WHKW (Ohio), 1220 Cleveland, very friendly f/d letter in 4 days (!)
from Brett Patram, Director of Engineering. He states that he enjoys
receiving DX Reports from the US and parts of Europe. he included a
sheet with pictures of the antenna field and the Harris 3DX50
transmitter. English report and 1 first-class stamp.
Mr. Patram went on to write that WHKW's history was best summarized on
Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHKW) and that more facts and
history about the station and its historical RCA BTA 50F transmitter
(which is still intact!) could be found at
http://hawkins.pair.com/wknr.html.
Our hobby sure could use more DX'er-friendly engineering staff like
Brett Patram at radio stations around the globe!
