** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Oct 4: it`s Tuesday, but no trace of LRA36 carrier at
1239, 1355 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 4, before 1200:
7970, very poor at 1153
10300, fair at 1153
No time for a full scan as it`s over to MW for MEXICO
Before 1300:
17170, fair with flutter at 1243; no 18180
16980, fair with flutter at 1243, likely same site as = 17170
16100, JBA at 1245, likely different site than above
15900, very poor at 1240
14700, JBA at 1247
13920, very poor at 1248 mixing with fax, presumably Australia
12600, very good at 1248, quite a contrast to the abovers
11500, fair at 1249, lo het, CCI from Tajikistan
10300, very good at 1251; no 7970 now
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE. 17580, Oct 4 at 1406, S. Asian language with long-path echo. This is
YFR in Bengali via Issoudun, 500 kW, 74 degrees. With Issoudun you have to be
careful since they sometimes run two unsynchronized transmitters, but this echo
sounded just right for LP/SP. Short-path is off-the-back; the great circle
long-path exits Africa over Somalia, then all-water across Indian Ocean, south
of Australia and NZ near Macquarie Island, across the Pacific entering North
America at La Paz BCS. Much of that is in darkness, of course (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 21840, Oct 4 at 1242, German, so it can`t be from Germany but
is likely from DW. Listed 80 degrees via Sines, PORTUGAL. Takes a break at
1300-1400 so I don`t often hear 21840. Most of the other usual 13m frequencies
were audible too this early, only 13 minutes after local sunrise (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 5765-USB, AFN not heard every morning, but audible Oct 4 at 1255 in
hash from WTWW 5755. Not much better vs noise level after 1300 when WTWW had
switched to 9479 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525-, Oct 4 at 1301, VOI in English with Banjarmasin guy
discussing local weather with Jakarta anchorette, who also gave frequencies,
contact and streaming info; fair with hum, another Tuesday `Exotic Indonesia`
co-produxion with RRI Banjarmasin, Kalimantan Selatan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MALAYSIA. 6050-, Oct 4 at 1151, HCJB has an audible het again, so RTM has
switched back to their off-frequency transmitter. Indeed, on Oct 3 at
1506-1602, Martien Groot in Netherlands had RTM Kajang back on 6049.51 after at
least a bimionth on 6050.02 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Pre-sunrise MW DX Oct 4, UT:
630, Oct 4 at 1158 UT, discussion of d?lares/pesos exchange rates, continued
conversation past 1200 with no ID. Probably XEFB Monterrey NL with news format;
some other DXers are wondering what else makes it north of border on 630
700, Oct 4 at 1158 UT, ``St?reo ?xitos`` heard as tuned by, probably
multi-station mention, and would have to research which of all the 700s has
such a sibling on FM
900, Oct 4 at 1211 UT, ads mentioning ``Carretera a ?lvaro Obreg?n``, i.e.
Ciudad Cuauht?moc, Chihuahua, which was also mentioned in ``cerca de la
glorieta Cuauht?moc``; Cant?:
900 XEDT La Reina Cd. Cuauhtemoc, Chih. 5,000 1,500
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OMAN [and non]. 15140, Oct 4 at 1356-1357:15* RRI IS ending its Russian
service, over much weaker signal; 1359 western music with a beat, S7-S9 with
flutter, 1403 brief announcement seemed to mention Oman. This is the usually
inaudible English hour of R. Sultanate of Oman (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 790, Oct 4 at 1221 something with Fox News, VG signal really at a
sunrise peak here (1229); after some national ads, ID at 1224 as KNST,
News-talk, Tucson AZ. I was drawn to check 790 after hearing IBOC noise on 780
and 800, no doubt from this, unlisted as such in 2011 NRC AM Log. Nor here:
http://topazdesigns.com/iboc/station-list.html
Hard to believe it`s not 5 kW day power, altho soon fades down. It`s only 5:24
AM MST. Here`s the FCC notice about KNST`s PSRA; all of these seem to be as of
2007y:
http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/getimportletter_exh.cgi?import_letter_id=5188
which implies starting in October, KNST can run 500 watts PSRA starting at 6 am
``Advanced time``, even tho time is NOT advanced in AZ! So Arizonans get to
start PSRAs at 5 am local unlike any other state? Pre-sunrise authority was
supposed to be based on 6 am local clock time, whatever it is. Tucson official
October sunrise is not until 1330 UT. KNST day and night patterns are about the
same, with broad lobes toward east and nulls, but not sharp ones, toward KABC.
And what`s the point of a PSRA for KNST? Night power is 500 watts too (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 870, tnx to Neil Kazaross in IL and H?kan Sundman in Helsinki for
pointing out that KLSQ Whitney (Las Vegas) NV is ``Radio Variedades``, the
slogan I heard Sept 29 at 1213 mixing with XETAR in Chihuahua, which I assumed
to be KFJZ Fort Worth:
``Hi, You mention a Spanish station on 870 with the slogan Radio Variedades and
suspect KFJZ in Fort Worth TX. For what it?s worth, KLSQ Whitney NV is also
using the slogan "Radio Variedades", see
http://radiovariedades870.univision.com/
73 (H?kan Sundman, Helsinki, DX LISTENING DIGEST)``
``This is KLSQ from a Las Vegas suburb. 73 KAZ (Neil Kazaross, IL, IRCA et al.
via DXLD)``
Well, that`s better! I would still like to confirm that KFJZ is NOT using that
slogan. Maybe I can pull it in daytime, if not hear from a Metroplexer.
Googling around, I don`t get hits on 870 there but old hits on KRVA-1600, as
Radio Variedades (so that`s where the call came from, altho now it is
Vietnamese. How do you say Variedades in Vietnamese? Gi?ng. But KRVA can now
denote Radio-Vietnam-America.) NRC-AM Log 2011 does not have KLSQ as Radio
Variedades either, but Google agrees it is.
KFJZ has a PSRA of 500 watts, and in Sept should have stepped up to full day
power of 1000 watts at 1215 UT (October: 1230). Direxional with a broad pattern
but null toward WWL.
KLSQ is 24 hours with night power 430 watts. Night pattern has major lobe to
NW, plus little lobes with one toward me and some nulls with one toward WWL:
http://transition.fcc.gov/ftp/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/666479-79198.pdf
So I try again Oct 4 around same time, 1206 UT and hear CCI to XETAR from a
station mentioning 103.7 in both Spanish and English. That does not fit for
KFJZ where KVIL 103.7 is separately owned; and there is no 103.7, not even a
translator, anywhere in Nevada. Nor in New Orleans, as WWL was still audible on
870 at 1208. At 1220 I was still getting a fast SAH, I believe between WWL and
XETAR. WWL will only become a greater problem as sun rises later and later
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 890, Oct 4 at 1209 UT, Spanish preaching in null of KTLR OKC; 1210
mentions San Antonio, Plainview. Presumably KVOZ in Del Mar Hills (McAllen,
RGV) TX, which isn`t that far away from the direxion of OKC. In Oct KVOZ should
still be on 1 kW night pattern until 1230 UT with null toward WLS and not much
toward me either, not yet 10 kW ND day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 22000, Oct 4 at 1241, 2-way SSB in Spanish, whistling, and I
don`t even have to turn on the BFO as the FRG-7`s even-MHz Wadley-loop birdie
is sufficient (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 30690v, checking again for the possible harmonix from 15345v
Argentina and/or Morocco: Oct 3 at 2055 I am again getting two very weak
carriers, still at 2135 and as closely as I can measure it, the stronger one is
about 30690.2 so fundamental would be 15345.1. The other one is a lot weaker.
As 2200 approaches, the nominal closing of Morocco, on a second receiver YB-400
with BFO I monitor 15345, which certainly sounds like Morocco, while on the
FRG-7 I have BFO near 30690 at a different pitch. If both vanish at the same
time, that will pin the harmonic on Morocco. But they don`t, both still going
at 2210, when I find that the 15345+ station is now Spanish, ergo Argentina.
Will try again. At this hour, 30+ MHz propagation from Argentina would be more
likely. 30690 was fading a bit, indicating it is really propagating, not
something local. Meanwhile, those who can measure frequencies to two or three
decimal places should have no problem making
a match to one or the other. I compare 30690 to RFI/GUF 21690, presumed to be
on-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

When you take a look at this list today, you will find NLD and BGR
taken back to HOL and BUL and Myanmar has got another new symbol:
MYA.
In fact there exist two lists (!!!):
http://www.itu.int/cgi-bin/htsh/mm/scripts/mm.list?_search=ITUstates&_territories
http://www.itu.int/cgi-bin/htsh/mm/scripts/mm.list?_search=ITUstates&_territories=Y
The first list does not contain Netherlands Caribbean !
So which one is valid actually and what we should think about the
changes changed again? (Or have I missed something?)

The "new" codes you are referring to came from an ISO 3166-1 document.
ISO stands for Internartioanl Organization for Standardization and was
set up to define arbitrary systems.
The codes you mention were actually created in 1974 and modified until
the current ISO 3166-1 listing.
I would assume that ITU is fibnally getting with the times and
upgrading their designations to match the rest of the world.
