** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 22, before 1300:
7970, good at 1245
10300, good at 1256
11500, good at 1257
12230, good at 1257
12600, good at 1257
13970, good at 1258
14700, good at 1258
16100, good at 1259; None in the 15s, 17s or 18s before 1300
Before 1400:
16700, good at 1343; none in the 17s, 18s
15970, very good at 1343
15525, good at 1344, but cut to open carrier and off at 1345* --- Then did not
find it on any other 15 MHz channel
13970, very good at 1347; none in the 14s
13850, very good at 1347, ACI de WWCR 13845; none in the 12s
10300, very good at 1350
7970, poor at 1355
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4055, Oct 22 at 0609, surprised to find R. Truth still on, as
transmitter is normally turned off about now after multi-verse national anthem.
Playing hymn in English ``Were You There?``, sounds like Johnny Cash. 0611.5 to
0614.5 two sesquiminutes of dead air as I awaited anything, then started ``The
Lord`s Prayer`` in English. I guess they were just running late, and the
multi-lingual sign-off, NA would eventually follow, up for which I did not stay
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 9425, Oct 22 at 1353, AIR National Channel with traditional music,
fair and much better than // 9470 with heavy QRM from WTWW 9479 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525-, Oct 22 at 1353, no signal again from VOI. It`s getting
very irregular. Atsunori Ishida`s comprehensive monitoring at
http://rri.jpn.org/ of this and all other Indonesian SW stations, not yet
updated past Oct 20, shows the only date since Oct 15 when the 13-14 English
broadcast appeared was Oct 19 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. 7245, Oct 22 at 0605, IGIM chanting, but unusually weak signal
vs VATICAN 7250, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1570, Oct 22 at 0419 UT, tuning past XERF found big signal more or
less overcoming all the QRM, but modulation way down compared to 1560, 1580
signals et al. I assume someone just wasn`t paying attention to levels, no
OPTIMOD. Could hear OK by turning volume up.
Pre-sunrise MWDX Oct 22, UT, then Cant? and IRCA info:
590, Oct 22 at 1207 UT, 7:17 TC in Spanish, mentioned Tamaulipas. Not much to
go on, but like tentative log of 590 Coatzacoalcos, Ver., I make this
tentatively:
590 XEFD La Mejor Reynosa, Tamps. 5,000 500
590 XEFD Tama Reynosa 5000 500 La Mejor 1030-0500 NOR/RAN MVS/PM v/s:
630, Oct 22 at 1209, automated ID twice by YL voice as ``7 y 9, 7 y 9``, i.e.
in CDT zone, then ID as ``Radio Centro 10-30, red nacional . . . en sistema
sat?lite``, then keyboard music. I was expecting morning newscast usually heard
from XEFB Monterrey. IRCA has that as a GRM [Grupo Radio M?xico] affiliate, not
GRC [Grupo Radio Centro]. I can`t find any national network affiliate list for
it, at http://radiocentro1030.mx/
This Cant? page is supposed to list the network newscasts in NL, but is blank:
http://www.radiotvmexico.net/contenido.php?seccion=noticiero&edo_id=19&siglas=radio
Instead you have to go to this list, which also shows Grupo Radio M?xico for
XEFB:
http://www.radiotvmexico.net/contenido.php?seccion=estacionesEdo&edo_id=19
Other cross-references also put XEFB with GRM, not GRC. From signal and
proximity I still think I am hearing XEFB, but would sure like to know if there
is another 630 station really with GRC.
630 XEFB FB La Estaci?n Que Da Las Noticias Monterrey, N.L. 10,000 10,000
630 XEFB NL Monterrey 20000 20000 F-B, La Estaci?n Que Da Las Noticias 24h
NWS/RCM GRM directional antenna. Noticiero Entrel?nea
So is XEFB 10 or 20 kW? WRTH shows 10
780, Oct 22 at 1214 UT, TC for 7:14 ``en La Poderosa``, with KSPI OK nulled.
The slogan is too generic, not listed for any XE 780 in Cant?, IRCA or WRTH;
Googling however, leads to the prime suspect:
http://es-es.facebook.com/pages/La-Poderosa-780-San-Fernando-Tamps/208401075867066
780 XESFT La Triple T San Fernando, Tamps. 5,000 1,000
780 XESFT Tama San Fernando 5000 1000 La Triple T/La Caliente 1100-0600 CHR
CORP/RAMA Notisistema news. Night power 0100-0600
So what are the three T`s in their name about?
altho XEXY also has some hits as ``La Poderosa``:
780 XEXY La Voz Del Balsas Cd. Altamirano, Gro. 2,500 1,000
780 XEXY Guer Ciudad Altamirano 2500 1000 La Voz del Balsas 1200-0430 VAR FIRM
1050, Oct 22 at 1305 UT, Spanish monolog mentioning electricity and California,
east/west. Don`t see any likely US stations from TN to CA, so good assumption
is one of these two (?) 10 kW daytimers, more likely XED:
1050 XED W Radio Mexicali, B.C. 10,000 D
1050 XED BCN Mexicali 10000 1000 Radiorama Siglo 21, W Radio 24h SP VAR RAMA
//WIND 560 kHz?
Tho I`d rather it were this one:
1050 XEBCS Gobierno del Estado La Paz, B.C.S. 10,000 D
1050 XEBCS BCS La Paz 10000 -1 Radio Cultural Surcaliforniana, Gobierno del
Estado 1300-0500 CUL Universidad Aut?noma de BCS
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA [and non]. 15120, Oct 22 at 0602, very weak fluttery signal here,
maybe or not VON vs China; yet, other Afros in English, 15580 VOA BOTSWANA, and
15275 DW RWANDA had much better signals, poor and fair respectively. Was
Ikorodu off the air? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1600, Oct 20 at 1550 UT and past 1600, no signal from KUSH
Cushing. It`s occasionally been absent before, but you never know whether it`s
going to be temporary or permanent. Still missing at 1445 Oct 21, uncovering
weak signals probably KS/TX. Cushing BTW is the nexus of an oil pipeline
network, lately in a big controversy about whether to bring in a new one from
Canada on the way to Houston (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 17625, Oct 22 at 1342, BSKSA in Arabic with bad hum; I
compared it to humless // 17615 on another receiver, and found the two were not
precisely synchronized, making a reverby sound between them. Both are listed as
Riyadh site, 190 degrees on 17615, and 100 on 17625 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1587 monitoring: confirmed before 2130 UT Thursday Oct
20 on WTWW 9479, excellent signal. Also from 0332 UT Friday Oct 21 on WWRB,
after about a 20 second pause following the Anderson SC preacher, both on 5051
(as always with het), and better 3195. And on WRMI 9955, Friday 1445, poor
signal but readable on peaks without jamming and holding own against 9960.
Further WRMI airings: Saturday 0800, 1500, 1730; Sunday 0800, 1530, 1730, etc.
WTWW: UT Sunday 0400 on 5755. WBCQ: UT Monday 0300v on 5110v-CUSB. WRN via
SiriusXM 120: Sat & Sun 1730, Sun 0830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 770, Oct 22 at *1315, KKOB Albuquerque NM cuts to day pattern and
signal suddenly appears amid chat about Hallowe`en devices; already fading by
1319. No sign of KKOB Santa Fe 230 watt fill-in before 1315 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1020, Oct 22 at 1222 UT, Spanish making 1 Hz SAH with semi-local KOKP
Perry OK, KMMQ Plattsmouth NE again, ads for Wired City at Calle 25 y M; same
restaurant as heard before, ``al sur de Omaha``, which offers seafood, and beer
to treat your weekend headaches (?) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1190, Oct 22 at 1232 UT, Disney-like tenny-bopper music ``Yesterday
--- Gonna Be OK``, definitely looping NE/SW, i.e. KPHN Kansas City MO, 5000/500
watts; 1234 ID only as ``AM-11-90, Radio Disney``. Many of the RD calls have
some obvious connexion to Disney characters, but I can`t figure out what KPHN
would mean. Should have just powered up at official October sunrise of 1230 UT
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 7250, Fri Oct 22 at 0605, VR with news in Italian about
Gadafi; this transmission was missing the last time I checked (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1110, Friday Oct 22 at 1229 UT, I can barely hear some Qur`an
amid CCI with KFAB nulled. Still wondering whether this is KVIL Dallas market
or KTEK Houston market. Or something else?
Terry Krueger in FL has also been hearing this on 1110: ``2347 October 18,
rather unusual (Hindi?) vocals with no instruments supporting
-- as if religious script poetry not unlike Islam/Qur'an -- blasting in way
atop WBT briefly, but already dropping down by 2354.`` And someone at KTEK
implied it was not them but KVTT, yet no definite info on what programming KVTT
is really carrying at these times. Could some of the active DXers in Houston
and Dallas areas check? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Radio Daqui (B) was active again this morning (Oct 21, 0530 UTC) on 4915 kHz
what is very rare at this early morning time. They obviously did not intend
to use this frequency during the night because they were announcing 1230kHz
only (on 4915kHz usually observed with s/off around midnight UTC or even
earlier).

Long Lost Australian Radio
Stars 2GF Grafton, 2KA Katoomba
and 3GL Geelong
____________________________
The latest additions to this popular series hosted by the Radio
Heritage Foundation at www.radioheritage.com have now been published.
The features take a nostalgic look back 65 years to the mid-1940s and
the personalities, programs and station profiles of Australian
Heritage AM Radio across the country before TV and FM arrived on the
scene.
Slightly quaint and qwirky by today's standards, the first series has
reached over 50 features of individual stations giving a wonderful
insight into how radio entertained and informed Australians of the
age.
Fans of any of these individual stations can now be recognized online
as well if they become a current sponsor.
The new features cover two original NSW country radio stations 2GF
Grafton and 2KA Katoomba, as well as 3GL Geelong and all three are
free to access at www.radioheritage.com.
Old station publicity and photos have been found to illustrate the
features along with original station logos.
2GF Grafton - The Voice of the Clarence was "First for Information,
First for Entertainment and First for Inspiration' and station
manager was J K S Lowe whilst Miss B Charleston 'a keen horsewoman
and golfer' was an announcer.
"In permanent relay with Station 2GZ", 'The Voice of the Mountains'
2KA broadcast from studios in the main street of Katoomba. Although
it 'does not claim metropolitan listeners, probably no other country
station is received better in Sydney' says the feature.
"Old Established 3GL' began broadcasts 80 years ago in November 1931,
the second country station in Victoria. Owned by the Geelong
Advertiser newspaper, 3GL carried Victorian Football League matches,
the 'Cashmere Bouquet Show' and had a staff of 19 people.
If you have your own memories, memorabilia and more you'd like to
share about any of these stations, or any of the more than 50 stations
featured in this series, the Radio Heritage Foundation wants to hear
from you.
It may be some old photos, booklets, newspaper or magazine articles
or even some recordings. Memories of listening to the radio over the
years are also important and wanted because they help people
understand the important community role played by radio over several
generations.
Coming soon....2MW Muwillumbah, 2KM Kempsey and 3BA Ballarat......at

Chinese Local Radio in the 1930's
_________________________________
The Radio Heritage Foundation releases a new feature 'Chinese Radio
in 1937' at www.radioheritage.com which offers a fascinating insight
into early radio broadcasting in China.
Advertising sponsored shows, story telling, radio plays, news, modern
Chinese music and Chinese jazz were all part of the popular programs
heard from some 89 stations across China in 1937.
This contemporary review of Chinese radio appeared just 15 years
after the first stations, all American owned and operated, appeared
on the dials, and a decade after the first Chinese owned station
began operations in Shanghai.
"Scores of little stations, with power ranging from 100 to 500 watts
regularly broadcast programs which boast a popularity easily
comparable with that of the top-notch network performances in
America" wrote author Robert H Berkov at the time.
The review [originally in Modern Mechanix magazine] includes rare
photos of popular amateur singers at XHHS in Shanghai and some of the
facilities for powerful XGOA in Nanking.
It follows the earlier release of 'Shanghai Radio Dial 1941' which
details all stations in the city at that time, and together, the two
features serve to introduce 1930's Chinese radio to a wider audience.
One thing is certain, Chinese listeners by the hundreds of millions
have been entertained and informed by their own local radio stations
for almost 90 years, and radio remains incredibly popular.
