** CHINA. Firedrake Sept 10:
17170, JBA at 2348; no others audible from 15 to 20 MHz
Firedrake Sept 11:
7970, very poor at 1224
10300, poor at 1231 with flutter, over CCI maybe really Sound of Hope
11500, poor at 1251 with flutter like 10300; none in the 12s
13920, JBA at 1252, none in the 14s, 15s or 16s. Overall propagation very poor
today, altho K-index at 12 was only 1; at 15, built up to 3.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CROATIA [non]. 7375, Sept 11 at 0000 Hrvatski Radio ID and news in Croatian
on non-summer frequency via GERMANY, just changed Sept 7, ex-9925. Good but
with slight reverb sound caused by more than one transmitter not precisely
synchronized, and/or scattering up from South America? The current overlapping
7375 schedule as in HFCC for the rest of A-11, all 100 kW Wertachtal, no more
Nauen, so from 23 to 03 there are two transmitters:
2200-0300, 240 degrees to S&C Am, Caribbean
2300-0100, 300 degrees to USA, E Canada and Mexico
0100-0300, 315 degrees to Canada, USA, Mexico
0300-0500, 330 degrees to western Canada & USA, Mexico
And 100 kW, 140 degrees via Singapore to Au/NZ:
0800-1200 11675
[non non]. To complete the schedule, direct from 100 kW, non-direxional
Deanovec, Croatia itself:
0500-1800 7410
1800-0500 3985
1800-2030 6165
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. Another day of trying to monitor the strange new frequency of 17625,
Sept 10: on the home rig, tune-in at 1900 to find open carrier, a lot stronger
than another OC on 15270, which is the scheduled frequency for a sesquihour of
R. Cairo English to W Africa. Nothing audible on wooden registered // 11510.
17625 ranged from S6 to peaks of S9+10 so if it were normally modulated,
reception would have been sufficient. At 1901 I make out the Cairo theme, and
some just-barely-modulated talk, which was softer than the mere sounds of
fading on the signal! 1904 some singing, seems like Qur`an, as is typical of
Cairo openings. 1914 some JBM talk; meanwhile no modulation audible on 15270,
may have been similarly JBM but just too weak a signal in the first place. At
1932 no modulation audible on 17625; 1940 increases to JBM, and so it went
until cut off at 1955:28* about the same time as previous days, while at 1956,
15270 still had a JBA carrier (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Sunrise tuning Sept 11, UT:
850, at 1207 after NA, in KOA null, ``Chihuahua, Chihuahua`` and 5,000 watts
mentioned in sign-on, ergo per Cant?:
850 XEM Radio Renacimiento Chihuahua, Chih. 5,000 500
A relog, also 920 XEHQ Hermosillo, Sonora; 650 XETNT Los Mochis, Sinaloa is in
every morning too (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 930, Sept 11 at 1210 UT, talkshow in perfect English on WKY,
interview about some public-service organization, 1212 called `Sunday Morning
Magazine`, and cut to adstring in exaggerated super-hyped Spanish, this
station`s usual language, but forced to pronounce some advertiser names more or
less in English. A few minutes later they were back in English magazine show.
Website http://www.laindomable.com/ does not even include a program schedule,
and does not find that program title even when internally searched! So for the
uninitiated, WKY can seem 100% Spanish, as asserted by upper-left block ``Al
Aire``: La Indomable from 12 am to 12 am; and ``next up``: La Indomable. But
why do they bother with any English? Perhaps some perceived public-service
obligation? So beware: if you hear English on 930 for at least half an hour on
Sunday mornings, it could be OK! (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [non]. 11880, Sunday Sept 11 at 1232, REE via COSTA RICA very good,
ending `Informativo Fin de Semana` and into `Amigos de la Onda Corta`, so this
must be its precise start-time after headlines. As usual, opening segment is
called ``Noticias DX`` but there is not a single SW time or frequency
mentioned. So-called ``DX`` news is really general media news, mostly having
nothing to do with SW. Later, interview with REE`s Russian service, i.e. the
single lady who does it, who won some sort of award, mentioning how they
present Russian programs from the defunct Russian SW services of Slovakia and
Czechia, with special QSLs issued by the originating stations, as already
reported in DXLD (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 9760, Sept 11 at 1259, VOA YDD sign-on, 1300 VOA 9/11 coverage
mixing with CRI English, the brutes, which will not concede the frequency, a
legacy VOA channel if there is one. HFCC shows for 13-14 UT, VOA now wants it
only on weekends via TINIAN, 250 kW, 305 degrees, while CRI has Kunming on it
daily with 500 kW, 135 degrees, officially to non-overlapping targets, but I
bet the collision in SE Asia is horrendous, let alone in OK (Glenn Hauser, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 13830, Sept 10 at 1936, WEWN Spanish has audio continually breaking
up, altho the carrier is steady at S9+18. // 12050 is not breaking up. Next
check at 2351, 13830 is weaker but still breaking up. Is no one paying
attention at Vandiver to their own output? Then why should any listener? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9265, Sept 10 at 2355, WINB with soft hymn, distorted modulation,
rather like WEWN on 13830; as always, even when modulation sounds OK, the WINB
carrier is warbling, obviously unsteady with BFO engaged. Distortion far less
than on Qahira 9305.
The extent of defective transmitters on shortwave, yet remaining in service
continues to amaze (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6925.1 AM, Sept 11 at 0457, pirate claiming to be live from a
party at 979 Perry(? or similar) Road. Carrier is slightly unstable, hard to
zero-beat but not as bad as the pros at Red Lion. Music with a heavy steady
beat continued thru TOH past 0505; 0511 announcement ``We`re live on ----
Radio``, but couldn`t copy it in fade. 0512:40 a minute of dead air, 0513:40,
``test 1, 2``, more music including beeping past 0518 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

Current HFCC for ERU
http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A11&broadc=ERU
still has no 17625, but shows three frequencies for Fulani, only one of which
is/was probably in use:
11520 1845 2000 46 Egypt Radio & TV Union ERU Ful Abu
zaabal 30N16 031E22 245 200 1234567 27-Mar-2011

I did definitely hear English on 17625 previously, so maybe wrong language feed
as well as new/unknown frequency. Glenn
