** BRAZIL. 9675, Oct 5 at 0513, Brazilian YL with religious talk, poor. R.
Can??o Nova has recently reactivated, first reported by Al Muick, PA, early UT
Oct 1. Vitaliy Lisovskiy, Ukraine, thought it had been off for 3 or 4 months.
Also heard by Luca Botto Fiora, Italy. I cannot get so excited about the
reappearance of yet another Brazilian gospel huxter polluting the shortwaves
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CAMBODIA [non]. 9960, Wed Oct 5 at 1250-1253+, YL talk in Khmer squeezed by
usual Cuban jamming noise; no heavy flutter on this unlike many Asian signals
such as Thailand in English on 9890, as PALAU is far enough south/east to avoid
auroral zone. It`s TDP`s Khmer Post Radio, via T8WH, Wed/Thu/Fri 12-13 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 5, before 1300. All signals had heavy flutter. Ratings
reflect strength, not quality. WWV tri-hourly E-mail advisories had K=3 at
1200, K=4 at 1500, but ``No space weather storms were observed for the past 24
hours. Space weather for the next 24 hours is predicted to be minor.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level are likely.`` I daresay storms were
already underway.
10300, fair at 1241
11500, fair at 1241
12500, very poor at 1245
12600, fair at 1245; none in the 13s
14700, fair at 1247
14970, fair at 1247; none in the 15s
16100, poor at 1248
After 1330:
10300, poor at 1338
11500, poor at 1338
13960, very poor at 1337; none in the 12s
14970, poor at 1337
15275, fair at 1333 with 15278 het
16100, very good at 1334
16700, good at 1334
16980, good at 1334
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Pre/sunrise MW DX Oct 5, UT:
660, Oct 5 at 1218 UT, talking about a fiesta, mentions Meoqui; 1222 phoner
about collecting water in the fog on the fifth of October; 6:23 timecheck ``en
Radio 6-60``, keeps mentioning Mercado Ju?rez, also Mercado Morelos; 1226 ad,
``aqu? en Delicias``. Meoqui is a neighboring town. Cant? shows:
660 XEACB Radio 660, La Tremenda Cd. Delicias, Chih. 3,000 1,000
710, Oct 5 at 1209 UT, local news by M&W alternating, about armed robbery of a
jewelry store owned by the family of the local diputado, got away with 75
kilopesos of loot, yesterday at 10:07 in Cuauht?moc, 6:11 timecheck. I think
they were blaming the Beta gang if not Zeta:
710 XEDP La Ranchera Cd. Cuauhtemoc, Chih. 7,000 100
This is the dominant 710 station most mornings, and you`d never know KGNC
exists till later. I`ve heard it many times, but more interested in catching
programming and more local clues which might help others, than dismissing it as
a relog, as I am not counting Mexican or any other totals, anyway.
780, Oct 5 at 1206 UT, Ciudad Victoria mentioned in null of KSPI; then at 1207
KSPI audio drops off, but the XE has faded. Presumably:
780 XESFT La Triple T San Fernando, Tamps. 5,000 1,000
As C.V. is the state capital of Tamaulipas, and San Fernando is halfway to the
border from there, altho there is another Tamaulipan on 780 in Tampico.
790, Oct 5 at 1229 UT, gobierno federal, Hora Nacional PSAs, 1230 full ID for
R. F?rmula, 5-letter call, 10,000 watts. (No sign of KNST Tucson which was
inbooming here 24 hours and 6 minutes earlier.) Cant? shows two F?rmulas on
790, one a 250-watter in Guadalajara, unlikely, and the other:
790 XENT Radio F?rmula + FM 97.5 La Paz, B.C.S. 10,000 750
The uncopied 5-letter call probably applied to their FM. At first I feared they
were just relaying XERFR 970 DF, but it`s 50 kW.
800, Oct 5 around 1200, again getting extremely distorted talk modulation;
little chance of understanding a word of it. DF for SSW [or NNE], as best I can
tell vs KQCV OKC to the SSE, still suspect:
800 XEDD La Tremenda Montemorelos, N.L. 10,000 2,500
Listeners in S Tejas should be able to hear this all day and confirm whether
it`s the culprit.
850, Oct 5 at 1157 UT, non-IBOC noise, in null of KOA. Must be open
studio-transmitter link. Note: turn on STL first, then main transmitter. 1200
noise stops, SAH continues with KOA, 1201 choral NA; 1204 sign-on by Chihuahua
station, ``Renacimiento`` which is reborn for another day:
850 XEM Radio Renacimiento Chihuahua, Chih. 5,000 500
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Re yesterday`s log: ``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)``
KVOZ 890 has been suspected of commonly running day power at night for a
decade. 73 KAZ (Neil Kazaross, Barrington IL, ABDX via DXLD)
Del Mar Hills, TX is actually nearer to Laredo, if that makes more sense (David
R. Block, primetimesw yg via DXLD)
Yes, it might as well have been licensed to Laredo; why bother with DMH, which
isn`t even in the Rand McNally atlas? I was going by the only address listed
for KVOZ in the NRC AM Log, which is McAllen, but it`s the HQ of Cadena
Cristiana based there. Laredo is still a long way from Plainview; I guess they
have even more affiliates up there. Also heard it briefly Oct 5 with more
references to Texas towns. Why doesn`t KTLR if not WLS object? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Well, here is a third one:
http://www.itu.int/cgi-bin/htsh/mm/scripts/generic.list?_n=COUNTRIES&_foto=y&_foto_del=y
The intended difference between the first two seems to be that one of them
contains only member countries of the ITU - which of course does not contain
the Netherlands Caribbean, as that is not an independent country nor a UN or
ITU member. The other list contains "countries and territories" for practical
purposes and includes most of the little stuff that DXers love to log.
Indeed all three lists have reverted to BUL and HOL and turned Myanmar into MYA
(ex MMR ex-ex BRM). Apparently someone needs to be kept very busy with thinking
about good abbreviations.
