** ALBANIA. We lost our oldest son Parid at age 29 on 7 September 2011 around
1930 LT (Drita ?i?o, Radio Tirana, Friday, September 16, 2011 1942 UT, to gh,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
What terrible news. That explains why we had not heard from Drita lately.
Perhaps she can eventually tell us what happened. Our deepest condolences.
Meanwhile, R. Tirana continues absent from SW, rechecked Monday Sept 19 at
1449, nothing on 13625 (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Sept 19, before 1300:
10300, very good at 1250
11500, good at 1250 with CCI, presumably VOR via Tajikistan
12270, very good at 1250
13920, poor at 1254
13990, good at 1254, unusual frequency, likely to bother MARS. Was listening
again at 1259-1300* when a few *words* of Chinese were heard mentioning Beijing
before cut off the air
14800, fair at 1256, another unusual one; no 14700 or 14720
15900, very good at 1256 with flutter; none higher by 1300
Before 1400:
14800, poor at 1338
13920, very poor at 1338; none in the 12s, 11s
11500, at 1342, open carrier with flutter, trace of modulation, no FD
10300, fair at 1343
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 21590, Sept 19 at 1301 I am hearing a very weak signal on a
frequency which is normally vacant. 13m propagation is looking up. Fades up a
bit and sounds Chinese, but cannot make it // 9840 or 11990 CNR, mixing with
algo. Uplooked later, the answer in Aoki is that this is a BBCWS Uzbek
frequency at 1300-1330, via Cyprus, which Must Be Jammed by the ChiCom,
interfering in the internal affairs of Uzbekistan, whatever jamming source they
may be using (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 24982, Sept 18 at 2046 as soon as I heard some CW, said to self, ``I
bet it`s CO8LY``. Indeed it was, automated CQ marker, and the only station
audible on the 12m hamband, CW or SSB. Apparently he is a big fan of this band.
We were checking since sunspots, solar flux and F2 MUFs have recently soared.
I`ve logged him four other times in the last 11 months on 12m, sometimes in
SSB. QRZ.com says CO8LY is: Eduardo Somoano Cremati, P.O. Box 104, Santiago de
Cuba, 90100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ETHIOPIA. 9560-, Sept 19 at 1408, het pitch wavering a bit, less than 1 kHz
below 9560.0 KSDA in Chinese, presumed R. Ethiopia back close to nominal via
longpath; no longer a carrier on 9568 instead, and I never heard from anyone to
confirm my theory that too was Ethiopia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 5765-USB, Sept 19 at 1237, AFN relaying NBC-TV `Today` show report on
two 51-year-old heiresses to political families both dying young, altho that
news is a couple days old by now, catching up on the weekend, even tho Today is
also on air Sat & Sun (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 3325, Sept 19 at 1235, only signal on 90m band is here, some
audio losing out to accurs?d high local noise level. I am confident it`s RRI
Palangkaraya, as Ron Howard affirms that the PNG station on 3325 has been
inactive for two years (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH [and non]. 6600 and 6518, Sept 19 at 1239, V. of the People
audible with YL in urgent Korean, holding own against noise jamming from the
North. Usually, all we hear is the jamming. Same noise on 6348 atop Echo of
Hope, and just jamming on 6230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, Sept 19 at 1342, presumed Kurdish music, very poor
with flutter, V. of Mesopotamia beginning to show again, but now using the
Mikolayiv, UKRAINE site we cannot expect much improvement to listenable levels
here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 17550, Sept 18 at 2054, R. Kuwait is audible again in Arabic tnx to
SF boost, but splatter from much stronger RHC Arabic on 17560. 15540 English
service checked at 2059, usual sign-off imagining they are on 11990, 2100 cut
to Arabic news // 17550 until 15540 off at 2105* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Sunrise MWDX Sept 19, our LSR now 1217 UT:
970, at 1221 UT Sept 19, avoiding splat from local KGWA 960 by nulling it and
sidetuning to 972: YL DJ affirms date is 19 de septiembre, slogan ``La Mejor,
9-70``, but that`s all I got. Oh oh, Cant? shows two named that on 970:
970 XEMF La Mejor Monclova, Coah. 1,000 500
970 XEEZ La Mejor Caborca, Son. 5,000 250
But at this late hour I would certainly lean toward the latter altho it`s a bit
further.
990, at 1159 UT Sept 19, NA until 1202 a passionate speech, apparently a
soldier`s creed of loyalty to the flag; 1205 finally ID as XEER, ``Est?reo
Romance 990 AM, 5000 vatios, desde nuevos estudios en [street address], Ciudad
Cuauht?moc, Chihuahua, una emisora m?s del Grupo BN [? or fonetically similar]
Radio``; 1206 live DJ takes over. Yes, an AM station has `Stereo` in its very
name, so is it C-Quam or mere hype? In his Chihua2 sexion, Cant? has a
streaming link, but no logo or website and gives its slogan instead as ``Radio
Familia``; but in his by-frequency listing, yet a third slogan! ---
990 XEER Radio Lobo Cd. Cuauht?moc, Chih. 5,000 250
Truly a station in flux, or with multiple personalities.
1030, at 1208 UT Sept 19, Telef?rmula opening with plug for its multiple
platforms, including specific satellite channel numbers on Sky, Dish from
Florida to Washington State [but how about Maine?], cable system channels in
Mexico and US. Obviously this is a TV soundtrack. Per Cant? once again the only
Radio F?rmula on 1030 is:
1030 XEYC Radio F?rmula Cd. Ju?rez, Chih. 5,000 500
1030, at 1223 UT Sept 19, giving phone numbers ``aqu? en la cabina``, including
3-34-10-30, also mentioned ``aqu? en Baja California``, plus website .info and
hotmail address I could not copy. So it`s surely:
1030 XESDD La Tremenda Tijuana, B.C. 5,000 5,000
Strangely, Kirk Allen in Ponca City OK, who also chases Mexican MW DX, says he
heard XESDD Sept 16 at 1140-1200 on *920*, altho IDing as "XESDD, La Tremenda
en 10-30 AM." There were no mentions of 9-20. He has it as a reactivation from
Ensenada, with many local mentions, but Cant? and WRTH do not show any BC
stations on 920, the closest ones being in Sonora and Sinaloa; a relay? NRC AM
Log shows three Alta Californians on 920, none near the border. One suspects
the SDD call alludes to San Diego. I can`t get a google match on the phone
number, maybe miscopied, but do find this rudimentary website which
autolaunches audio: http://www.latremenda1030am.com/
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 780, Sept 19 at 1232 UT, KSPI Stillwater, dead air with occasional
glitchy noises; earlier in the hour the audio was cutting off and on. This
station is really a mess, can`t even operate normally with its 250 watts, also
longstanding spurs on 776 and 784 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 17625, Sept 19 at 1331, BSKSA Arabic has an audible hum/buzz
here, unlike // 17615, flanking France (Glenn Hauser,, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WTWW: altho recently was switching from 5755 to 9479 well before 1300
UT, Sept 19 at 1238, 5755 is still on; so I put a receiver BFO on 9480 to
notify me when that comes up: *1259:45 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1500, Sept 19 at 1211 UT, `Osgood File` from CBS, 1213 local
announcer talking about K-Jim getting a DX report from Finland, with mp3,
explaining that this is possible on AM with very long antennas, not FM; then
relays lo-fi robotic NWS local weather forecast.
KJIM is in Sherman TX, address in Denison; I often enjoy its nostalgic music
around sunrise or sunset. NRC AM Log shows it as a 1000 watt daytimer plus PSRA
of 500 watts from 0700 [meaning ET, presumably] and off at sunset. So if
someone just got it in Finland, it would have to be just before sunset here,
which is 0030 UT in Sept, 0000 in Oct, surpassing 50 kW KSTP et al. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1030, Sept 19 at 1230 UT, still hoping for Mexicans, instead heard
CDT, ID in passing from KCWJ, which is 5 kW from Blue Springs MO, near
Independence, near Kansas City (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6050, Sept 19 at 1240 started to listen to music, poor signal,
presumed RTMalaysia, but cut off the air at 1241*, breakdown? Or could it have
been Lhasa? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9860-USB, Sept 19 at 1346, intruder, 2-way conversation atop very
weak AM carrier, in SE Asian language, Vietnamese or similar. One side much
stronger than the other, still going at 1406. The AM would be CNR1 or BSKSA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15520, Sept 19 at 1336, open carrier with flutter. Nothing listed
now, but HFCC and Aoki show the next occupant is YFR via UAE from 1400 in
Hindi, and Aoki also has Firedrake on 15520 from 12 to 13 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 16317-AM, Sept 19 at 1333-1340*, 6-note ``interval signal``
repeating. Nothing to explain it in Klingenfuss 2002y, nor EiBi who includes
various utilities now. Of the 36,158 posts so far in the UDXF yg, not a single
hit, searching on 16317 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17505, Sept 19 at 1329-1330* VTC/BaBCock music loop, testing from
somewhere? Nothing scheduled in HFCC, Aoki or EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 21680-SSB, Sept 19 at 1411 very weak traces of 2-way here,
frequency approximate, but in any event an intruder (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

Super Radio Deus e Amor has graced us with its presence tonight at 2330
on 11765 here at my QTH. Station is from Curitiba in Parana. I don't
know whether it is testing or what, however there are a lot of full
station IDs and many PSAs/IDs being played at the same time which amount
to a jumble. Right now there is a male with the typical dramatic
intonations and a woman speaking in between his sentences. Of course in
Portuguese. A bit down in the dirt here, but maybe better for others.

All,
There was an unidentified station heard at my QTH at 2358, 19 September
on 9819.8. Very weak, and definitely not Chinese. ORF came on at 0000
and has been in an endless loop of Blue Danube and multilingual IDs
without any programming. The Happy Habsburgs stomped all over that
little signal and I hope it's still there when they march off.
Just a heads up for this possible 2nd Brazilian rarity from Sao Paulo.
