Every day I've been receiving second harmonic of The Voice Asia 9530
frequency 19000. Reception is good, much better than on original frequency
which has been used by CNR1 as well.

We featured that in Italian newsgroup yesterday before.
The intermodulation signal 5001 kHz starts only, when BOTH tx on air 1089
and 6090 kHz,
i.e. 6090 starts with the engineering opening procedure around
19.47 ... 19.52 UT, with 800/1000 Hertz tone procedure.

** ALBANIA. 13640, Monday Nov 7 at 1530, R. Tirana reconfirmed gone, replaced
by 0230 on 7420 in English to North America, except UT Mondays (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 6030, by 0654 UT Monday Nov 7, Cuban jamming has abated lite enough
with R. Mart? in its sexahour silence, to audiblize some weak country music, no
doubt CFVP Calgary. More of a problem is overload from RHC 6010 et al. for a
few more minutes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 7, before 1500:
none in the 7s, 8s at 1452
10300, fair at 1442
11500, fair at 1442
12670, good at 1442
13970, very good at 1445; none higher
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5955, Nov 7 at 0655, heavy wall-of-noise jamming by Cuba still here
with no evidence that R. Rep?blica is still there underneath. See also CANADA
6030.
Nov 7 I get to hear what happens at RHC English 0700 sign-off: 6010, 6050 and
6060 are gone by 0702, but 6150 stays on with restart of English hour! Better
modulation than usual on that transmitter. `Ed Newman` still going at 0710 in
`Weekly Review` laden with negative news about US. 6150 transmitter op asleep,
or accidentally on purpose? Unknown for how long.
True to form, 8 days after the rest of the world starts the B-11 season, RHC
makes a number of frequency changes Nov 7, once Arnie has had a week to
study(?) what the co?rdinating stations are doing. Most of the changes don`t
make sense, unnecessary but just to show he`s doing his job, while other
frequencies desperately in need of escaping QRM stay right where they are!
Here`s what we discovered in the morning from 1352:
9550, still on before and after 1400
11690, stays despite all the RTTY on low side
11750, ex-11730 with weak signal, echo apart from 11760 different site
11760, stays with biggest signal; at 1401 open carrier, not sure if off or just
a breakdown
11840, ex-11830 with second biggest 25m signal. 11830 had no interference,
nothing in HFCC at 11-13. 11840 now gets bleedover from the DentroCuban Jamming
Command against nothing on 11845. Way to go!
12040, stays but this transmitter has an awful humbuzz. The Chinese radio war
is no longer there; what luck!
13670, ex-13680 until 1400* just in time to evade ACI from CRI via CANADA 13675
from 1400. 13680 did have some CCI, but so does 13670. Both KBS and CRI English
via Kashgar are there at 13-14. 13670 had been RHC`s all-evening frequency on
this band
13750, ex-13780, colliding with VOA Spanish until 1400 which has been on 13750
for many months. 13780 was a totally good frequency for RHC and no reason to
move except to force VOA to move; how long will it take for IBB to notice and
deal with it?
15120, absent at 1357 but may have just closed as in A-11?
15230, still way under CRI via Sackville at 13-15
15380, ex-15360. 15360 did have CCI at times. Now 15380 hits Saudi Arabia until
1400; also squeezed by ChiCom noise jamming on 15375 and later Spain on 15385
The studio is in the dark about all these changes, since the 1401 frequency
announcement still gave all the old ones: ``15120, 15360, 15230; from *13
13680, 13780; from *11 11690, 11760, 11830, 12040; from *13 11730``. Everything
went off by 1501.
No doubt there will be more surprises in the afternoon/evening broadcasts from
1900. It was too tempting to check the slow-loading RHC Spanish website, which
as of 1730 Nov 7 has already been updated.
http://www.radiohc.cu/de-interes/frecuencias.html
In IE, the weather info on the right overlaps the frequency info on the left!
No matter what the sizing. Once again we have to unravel which frequency goes
with which time(s) in this awful format. I`ve deleted the chaff of UTC after
every time, and the meter bands:
Buenos Aires 15230/13670 23-04 y 11-15/ 11-14
Nueva York 6010/11840 11-13/11-15

Caribe 11690 14-18
Am?rica del Sur 15370/17750 14-18
Am?rica del Norte 13750 14-18
My notes on the above:
I did not notice any of the 6 MHz frequencies, but might have earlier than when
I started monitoring at 1352.
Not noticed today on 9850; typo for now unlisted but heard 9550?
Still shows 13780, not 13750, so maybe that was an error today?
The final Sunday group are of course the long-dormant Al?, Presidente service
relaying Venezuela, no longer named as such
The undated English schedule page,
http://www.radiohc.cu/ing/of-interest/frequencies.html
without weather overlap shows one change indicating it is also new:
Banda Tropical 5040 23-24
Am?rica Central 11760 19-20
Am?rica del Norte 6050/6000/6060 01-07/01-05/05-07
Norte Centro y Suram?rica 6125 05-07
San Francisco 6010 05-07
Notes: ``banda tropical`` is not a target area. 6125 is new, replacing 6150.
Arnie still refuses to clear 6050 for HCJB
Clicking on other language-flags, no changes in Esperanto; French at
http://www.radiohc.cu/ing/of-interest/frequencies.html
now shows 13640 for Europe at 1930-2000, so that`s ex-17560.
And Arabic at
http://www.radiohc.cu/ar/de-interes/frecuencias.html
shows 2030-2100 also on new 13640; 17560 was a huge signal here.
The Portuguese page was under construxion, calling for login and password!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 15050, Nov 7 at 1445, AIR Sinhala service from Khampur is still in
weak DRM today. The ABU meeting in Delhi is about to conclude, so will be
interesting to hear whether this resumes AM soon. I sure would like to have my
Sinhalese music back (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [and non]. 6145, Nov 7 at 0703 brass band music, what`s this, some
station with no news on the hour? ACI de prolonged RHC 6150 English [but not
any more: see CUBA]. 0707 revealed with Japanese announcement: It`s NHK to
eastern Russia, homeservice relay? until 0800 plus another semihour in Russian
scheduled. 35-degree azimuth means it`s also aimed USward, a regular signal
last winter too. I did not notice the listed // 6165 at 330 degrees (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
15720, Nov 7 at 1513, S Asian language mentions NHK, to 1515*. It`s Hindi, 250
kW, 35 degrees via MADAGASCAR at 1430-1515, and quite sufficient here way
off-target and off-beam (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 6045, Nov 7 at 0653, KBS World Radio in Spanish, usual
good signal from Sackville relay to Europe. After 0700 continues another hour
in Korean, but weaker, because of a site switcheroo to Woofferton (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT [and non]. 21540, second week of B-11 and MOI is still colliding with
REE around 1400; both off at 1504 check while Spain 21610 continued (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGST)
** MAURITANIA [and non]. 7245, IGIM not heard for a few nites by 0600, maybe
just signing on later, but Nov 7 I find myself still monitoring a UT hour later
tnx to standard time resumption, at 0657 and still no signal from IGIM. Nor
Guinea 7125. Also Polisario remains silent on 6297v. And no Equatorial Guinea
on 6250. So much for Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 17660, Nov 7 at 1405 fluttery Qur`an, 1410 to scripted sermon
in slow French. This is our best chance to hear BSKSA in a Western language,
since they have absolutely no interest in broadcasting English to Europe or
North America. 14-18, 500 kW due west from Radio Riyadh (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 15385, Monday Nov 7 at 1447, Sephardic music on the weekly service
from REE at 1425-1455 now has ACI from stronger CUBA on 15380. Will anyone
including myself remember to check at 0115 UT Tuesday whether the repeat is
really on 11780 colliding with Brasil instead of staying on 11795? I`ve set an
alarum (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. 17745, Nov 7 at 1502, Sudan Radio Service in Arabish, with
echo, seems more like longpath than backscatter, from new site Woofferton UK
replacing defunct Sines, Portugal. Takeoff azimuth is 126 degrees, which is
close to directly off the back from here, maximizing the long/short path echo
problem (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 6875, Nov 7 at 0653 check, RTI via WYFR is *still* in wrong
language, German. When will they aufwachen? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 15580, Nov 7 at 1447, S9+20 open carrier, while per HFCC,
VOA is supposed to be active via SOUTH AFRICA at 14-15, 250 kW, 340 degrees.
15-16 hour is Sri Lanka, 16-17 S?o Tom?, 17-1730 Greenville, 1730-1930
Botswana, 1930-21 Bonaire, 21-22 Botswana; plus mornings: 03-04 Botswana, 04-05
Sri Lanka, 05-07 Botswana.
So at 1447 I was either getting Meyerton failing to modulate, or maybe
Greenville warmup blocking it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 9955, Nov 7 at 1500 checking for WRMI, instead hear good
signal from Radio Free Asia, English ID introducing Tibetan. Also noise QRM
from the DentroCuban Jamming Command, inadvertently helping out their ChiCom
allies. IBB TINIAN is now scheduled 15-16, 250 kW, 297 degrees. So we can
further forget about hearing anything on WRMI during that hour, such as WORLD
OF RADIO on Fridays at 1530. Would it be too much to ask for other US
operations to grant WRMI a desperately needed clear frequency? Apparently, yes!
Besides RFA, HFCC also shows at various times on 9955: KTWR, KHBN, and the
imaginary WMLK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Intermittent `Bronx-cheer` blaaaaaps are infesting several spots
in the SWBC bands, Nov 7, such as approx.: 17555-17575 at 1449, equally huge
centered around 17730. Includes different tones every few sex. Weaker at 1451
circa 18435, then stays on as OTH radar 18420-18445. Also at 1504 around 21480
(BBC is finished with 21470 from Seychelles at 1400) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

Not too much to report, so....
FRANCE, 3AC Monaco Radio 8728 USB, 07 November 2011, 1020 UTC. I was
waiting for this one, camped out on the frequency. Finally, just barely
above the noise I heard the Monaco National Anthem and then an ID in
French by a man in French, into weather information. At 1022, the
language changed to a woman in English along with IDs and weather
information, followed by the National Anthem again and off air at 1025.
This was so weak...barely an S2 and I was able to pull it out of the
noise. 13148 was wiped out by some sort of local noise and 17260 was
dead at my QTH. See comments/discussion below. The ID was always given
as Monaco Radio and never as Monte Carlo Radio, as shown in the
Klingenfuss listings.
RUSSIA, St. Petersburg Regional Center, 6135 heard on 05 November at
2356 UTC, thanks to a personal email from Mikhail Timofeyev.
Transmission started out with well-modulated 1kHz test tones and went
into Voice of Russia Spanish at 0000. Unfortunately, the VoR audio was
not at a level to modulate the transmitters like the test tones and it
left the audio weak and somewhat muffled. QSB was fluttery and signal
strength was fair at best, but without any major QRM, until I tuned out
at 0020. Thank you Mikhail for the heads up. Glenn Hauser has already
spread the word where to find the schedule and more details in his
recent report, so I won't re-duplicate efforts.
Some may be questioning why I list 3AC as France. From the research I
have done on the web, in particular referencing one persons visit to the
utility station, the transmitters are actually at Fontbonne in France.
Following our protocols, this would then count as France, and not
Monaco, even though the receive site is within the Principality of
Monaco. It is customary (as well as good RF engineering practice!) for
coast and utility stations to keep their receive and transmit sites
geographically separated and control the TX'ers remotely. While this is
certainly disappointing as far as logging/QSLing a new country, I am
happy that at least I have heard them, and hope for a QSL.
Years back, TWR Monaco played a nice little musicbox tune as their
interval signal. I was always curious as to what it was. Imagine my
surprise when I heard it played by a march band at the opening and
closing of the 3AC transmission. At the risk of being called a prat, I
looked up Monaco's NA, and now I know that all this time, that is what
TWR Monaco had used as their interval signal. Trivia, but nonetheless a
surprise for myself.
Hope everyone has been getting more DX than I!

Yes surprisingly strong signals, but different acc to location, poor in

S=9+35dBm, closer to Armavir Tbilisskaya tx site.

Subject: [HCDX] QSL Report for Al Muick, Special
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
I am sending this part of my QSL report out early because of the
timeliness of the Radio Burkina information.
BANGLADESH, Bangladesh Betar 4750, f/d National Monument card in 455
days for English report via Airmail with US $5.00 and English follow-up
via registered mail with return receipt and three IRCs. V/S Abu Tabib
Md. Zia Hasan, Senior Engineer, Research Wing. He had also previously
emailed me to let me know he got the report, but never received the
original. This arrived 48 days after follow-up. The station was heard
while I was at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan on August 9 2010 at 1256 UTC.
BURKINA FASO, Radio Burkina 5030, no data thank you letter in French
confirming my report and wooden pen/pencil set in a wooden case with RTB
logo on it via registered airmail in 574 days for French report sent via
airmail with US $5.00 and follow-up report in French with US $10.00 sent
via registered mail, return receipt. QSL received 69 days after
follow-up. V/s. Ouezen Louis Oulon, Director of Radio Burkina and
Knight of the Order of Merit (!). See comments section below. This
station was heard at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan during my time there
on April 1st 2010 at 1750 UTC.
SLOVENIA, RadioTelevizija Slovenija, 918, f/d coverage map card in 20
days for English airmail report and 2 IRCs. No V/S. The station was
heard during a business trip to Zurich Switzerland, with a 10m
randomwire thrown out the window on my hotel late at night. They
returned the IRCs which were cellophane taped to the outside of the
envelope by one end only. I have no idea whether they were intending
them to be used for postage (both a stamp and metered postage were
affixed) or whether they just sent them back, and I am absolutely amazed
that both of those IRCs arrived intact without a tear or wrinkle!
All stations were received on a WinRadio G303e receiver with a 100m
randomwire, with the exception of Slovenia as described.
Radio Burkina comments:
M. Oulon states in his letter that Burkina Faso (RTB) now operates on
shortwave 7230 kHz from 0800-1700 and 4215 kHz from 1700-0800. He does
not state whether this is local or GMT time. In a separate paragraph at
the bottom of his letter, he states (and I am translating here): "I am
simply embarrassed to inform you that since recently, our shortwave
transmitter is broken. I would be very happy for any initiative you
could take to aid us to find a new transmitter." I would presume then
that this is why they have not been heard recently. If anyone else
wants to give some information to M. Oulon, his email address is
louisoulon(at)gmail(dot)com. I will check sources and see if I can find
a reasonably-priced used transmitter for them, and send M. Oulon the
details in an email. I don't know what their budget is, but I know that
*mine* does not allow for purchase of transmitters. :-)
