Note: logs in this report +00-06+ UT Nov 8 were with inside antenna due to lots
of thunderstorms. We had to spend time monitoring this way, since the computer
remained unplugged.
** ALBANIA. 7425, Nov 7 at 2359, R. Tirana IS, fair with lite CCI from China;
0005 R. Tirana is atop, but why not shift Albanian hour to the really clear
frequency of 7420?
7420 is now on the official schedule for English 0230-0300 UT Tue-Sun.
Coincidentally, Sigitas Zilionis has planned a special broadcast in English to
North America from LITHUANIA at 0200-0400 UT Nov 12 and 13 only, and asks R.
Tirana not to use it on those dates. This was not in the original B-11 HFCC
planning. I wonder what it`s about? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA [and non]. 15476, it`s Tuesday Nov 8, so another perfunctory
check for LRA36 in case they turn on the transmitter during alleged schedule:
no carrier detectable at 1325 and a couple later chex. But there`s always
Thursday when the probability is slightly improved.
15480 music splash was also a problem, i.e. now AWR, 70 degrees via Nauen,
Germany at 13-15; unheard but registered on the other side is a squeeze from
YFR, 85 degrees also via Nauen at 13-15, or maybe something else from
Wertachtal at 14-15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA [and non]. 11855, Nov 8 at 1314, CRI English. What`s it doing here?
Sackville relay is supposed to be on 11885 like previous B-seasons (instead of
9650 in A-seasons). Yes, HFCC B-11 shows it on 11885 not 11855 at 13-14, 250
kW, 272 degrees --- so the puncher-upper double-digited the 5 instead of the 8.
Fortunately, not much to bother on 11855, except 50 kW Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, as
listed anyway.
BTW when checking this I am also reminded that HFCC B-11 is still full of
registrations for LIS, PORTUGAL, such as 11885, 12-15 Sat & Sun. It`s clear
that shortwave there is now quite dead and has been for months (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 7, before 2400:
16980, poor at 2357
16100, very poor at 2357
Firedrake Nov 8, after 0000:
12230, good at 0016
13850, fair at 0021
14400, fair signal at 0024 but just barely modulated
14700, fair at 0023
14900, fair at 0023
Before 0200:
16980, very poor at 0150
16700, fair at 0150
16100, very poor at 0150
14700, poor at 0152
13850, very poor at 0152
12230, poor at 0154
Before 0300:
14400, very poor at 0236
14700, poor at 0236
16100, very poor at 0237
16700, fair at 0237
Before 1300:
10300, good with flutter at 1257
11500, poor at 1257 with flutter
After 1300:
none in the 16s at 1328
14700, good at 1320 with flutter
13920, fair at 1315
12900, good at 1319
12500, very good at 1319
12230, good at 1319
Other jamming, CNR1:
17790, Nov 8 at 1329 there is CNR1 on a new frequency with super-hype
announcer. Off at 1330* sharp after 2-tone, 2-pip timesignal. Must be because
of new BBCWS Uzbek at 1300-1330 which Must Be Jammed: Right! Unheard victim is
Cyprus site, 300 kW, 57 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 17495, Nov 7 at 2355, open carrier with flutter, Nov 8 at 0000, 5-pip
timesignal, CRI opening theme. HFCC shows Beijing site southwards in Cantonese,
plus two more hours of Amoy (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CONGO DR [non]. 11690, Nov 8 at 0357, VTC/BaBcoCk fill music loop serves as
IS, for R. Okapi opening in French with ID jingle at 0359.5; poor signal and
almost the OSOB except for DVRussia on 12030, also poor by now. Is 04-05, 250
kW, 340 degrees from Meyerton, SOUTH AFRICA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. DentroCuban Jamming Command still out of synch with hours
when it is really `needed`, against VOA:
12000, Nov 8 at 0004, and 9885 at 0009, and 5890 at 0015, noise against nothing
as VOA on standard time does not start until 0030 instead of 2330.
9825, Nov 8 at 0009, R. Mart? about equal level with jamming. This frequency is
Greenville at 00-01, Sackville at 01-03. Sackville usually comes in better here
than Greenville RM, as the azimuth from Sackville, 227 degrees is more
favorable for us that southward from GB, even tho power is less, 100 kW vs 250.
227 was once an antenna serving the USA, a country now deleted from the RCI
schedule.
9885, Nov 8 at 1252 already has lite grind jamming and pulsing vs open carrier
from VOA prior to *1300.
Further RHC monitoring under new delayed B-11 schedule, Spanish u.o.s.:
13640, Nov 7 after 1930 confirmed in French as on new schedule to Europe;
sufficient but not the monster signal which used to be on 17560. Was that
really aimed at Europe? Aoki A11 showed 1930 French as non-direxional, while
20-21 in Portuguese and Arabic were 53 degrees, all with 100 kW. But I never
noticed any disparity in strength during the entire sesquihour.
13690, at 0002 Nov 8, news sounder and news, ex-13670; 21-04 sked
11840, Nov 8 at 0005, still on, // new 13690 and old 11760. 11840 scheduled
11-15 and 21-05, i.e. entire Spanish span.
6120, at 0012 Nov 8; at 23-05
12040, humbuzz at 0016 Nov 8; deleted by next morning: see below
15230, still on at 0016 Nov 8; sked 11-15 & 23-04
15370, at 0017 Nov 8, music not // RHC SS; then Quechua ID and IS
5025, at 0156 Nov 8, R. Rebelde missing, but RHC 5040 is on; at 0554 vice versa
9740, at 0325 Nov 8 // 6120 an echo apart with Fidel. 9740 is new, not `97420`
as typoed in RHC website sked at 23-04. By 0353, 9740 is poor with SAH, CCI,
presumably with Iran in Arabic at 0230-0530, 500 kW, 250 degrees from
Kamalabad.
6125, at 0552 Nov 8 in English, ex-6150 but still JBM with hum. The Austrians
and Turkish Cypriots, thank you; and I thank you. 05-07
And in the morning Nov 8:
6150, at 1248 Nov 8, heavy mix with Chinese, and undermodulated. All three 6`s
are scheduled 11-13 only
6140, at 1248 Nov 8 good modulation, less CCI, // 6150
6010, at 1250 Nov 8 // 6140, with CCI. Bad news for Colombia and Mexico,
scheduled 11-13 to Nueva York
9850, at 1308 Nov 8, good clear frequency, ex-9550 which would not be;
scheduled 13-15 to Chicago, following 6140 at 11-13. At 1401 after IS and ID I
was ready to copy the usual frequency announcement, but they skipped it (until
they can get it right, more or less?), but soon plugged today`s `Mesa Redonda`
at 6:30 pm local [2330] on 9660 [new ex-9640] and 6000
11690 and 12040, both missing at 1312 and later at 1411. 11690 is on new sked
at 11-15, but not defective 12040, altho it was still heard yesterday when
other new frequencies had already started
11750 and much stronger 11760 are on at 1312 Nov 8, as is new 11840, still with
jamming bleed from unneeded 11845. (At 1257, 11750 still had VOA with USG
editorial about Taliban; 25 degrees USward from Tinang; after 1300 IBB changes
11750 to eastward from Biblis, not heard here)
13780, at 1316 Nov 8, not 13750 as heard yesterday, apparently a mistake, and
VOA Spanish at 13-14 is unmarred again
13670, at 1316 Nov 8 with CCI, new ex-13680. Now the leapfrog between them will
land on 13890 instead of 13880, but not yet audible. And maybe 13560. 13670
goes off around 14, an hour earlier than 13780, so in that sense replaces 15120
15230, at 1323 Nov 8 way under CRI/Sackville. In the clear at 1431 tho CRI is
supposed to run 13-15
15380, at 1323 Nov 8 with ACI; also runs 11-15
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 15625-15665, Nov 8 at 1322, OTH radar pulses, from here? Or is China
more likely as occupied 40 kHz instead of 25. Or elsewhere? Anyhow a
fortunately chosen range as no broadcasters were audible amid, Greece being
silent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ERITREA. 7175, Nov 8 at 0321, Horn of Africa music, fair with QRhAM SSB and
occasional hets, presumed V. of the Broad Masses of Eritrea-2; Aoki B-11 shows
morning hours at 03-07, but I never hear it after 0500 when I am usually
monitoring: off by then or outfaded? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE [non]. 6185, Nov 8 at 0603, Spanish news from Radio Francia
Internacional, i.e. XEPPM R. Educaci?n, MEXICO is still delay-relaying this in
the nightmiddle; and strangely, no co-channel audible now from Vatican,
supposedly on until 0620.
17690, Nov 8 at 1430* RFI Spanish service via GUIANA FRENCH cuts off the air at
the appointed hour sharp, despite news about Nicaraguan `elexion` still going,
rudely interrupted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 13780, Nov 8 at 0608, African news in English about Nigeria,
OSOB; 0612 DW jingle and e-mail. If it`s DW in English now, we know it has to
be via RWANDA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9420, Nov 8 at 0325, VG signal from VOG with music, Greek
announcements, also // weaker 7475 and weakest 7450. We miss hearing VOG later
at night or in our mornings, but 9420 still packs a punch when it is on, now
scheduled 16-04. How can they afford this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDIA. 15045-15050-15055, Nov 8 at 1340 check, poor signal from AIR Sinhala
service, but it`s still DRM noise. Jose Jacob informs us:
``Dear Glenn, Please see the following link.
http://qsl.net/vu2jos/new.htm
DRM of AIR Sinhala on 15050 (and many new ones) is there to stay`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525-, Nov 8 at 1309, for the first time in weeks, I can detect a
carrier here, and it`s slightly to the low side, characteristic of VOI; but
weak and no modulation audible, in case they were attempting to transmit
another Tuesday `Exotic Indonesia` hookup with RRI Banjarmasin. Atsunori Ishida
agrees at http://rri.jpn.org/ that it`s the first time 9525 has been heard
since Oct 20: ``9525 kHz *1031-1501* Since October 20 at -1035-`` So perhaps
there is hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN [and non]. Once again seeking Justice from Iran, allegedly on air to
NAm at 0330-0430 on 7200, 7365: Nov 8 at 0329, 7200 has a fast SAH so must be
another signal besides usual SUDAN which is singing. Understation starts
undermodulating at 0330 but it`s way under Omdurman. At 0334 I think I am
hearing Qur`an from Iran which fits its usual MO. 7365 is a total loss with
nothing audible but R. Mart? and the DCJC. There is absolutely no excuse for
the latter frequency choice, and Sudan, q.v. is even registered in HFCC as well
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT [and non]. 21540, Nov 8 at 1334 astounded to hear R. Kuwait Arabic
talk and music in the clear past 1400, no longer colliding with REE SPAIN,
which was still audible sufficiently on its own clear 21610. Unless just a
breakdown, REE has solved the problem since MOI won`t move to their registered
B-11 new frequency 21520 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, Nov 8 at 0606, RNZ National relay good with news, making
a comeback, the SSOB and almost the OSOB besides two or three weak 25m signals.
Earlier channel 15720 has been iffy, missing to fair (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 91.7, Thursday Nov 8 at 1433-1459 UT, KOSU has a new interview
show `The Living Room`, replacing part of `Morning Edition`. Hosted by Gerry
Bonds, news anchor who was laid off from OETA in drastic budget cuts earlier
this year. Excellent conversation with Bill Moyers, visiting his home state,
and who is about to come out of retirement again with a new PBS TV series in
January. Outro credits said show is recorded in the `OPUBCO Studios in OKC`,
which really floored me as Oklahoma Publishing Co., a.k.a. The Daily
Disappointment, stands for everything bad in journalism, the opposite of
Moyers. Why doesn`t she do it at KOSU itself?
We`d heard some promos, but not noted down the times. KOSU still doesn`t have
it on their program schedule, but seems it is inconveniently monthly, starting
in September, when a press release
http://kosu.org/2011/09/kosu-launches-the-living-room/
about another guest said: ``join Gerry Bonds for the inaugural edition of The
Living Room ? Wednesday evening at 6:30 right after Marketplace on KOSU. The
program will also be rebroadcast Saturday, September 10th at 4:30 pm and
Tuesday, September 13th at 8:30 am.``
If that schedule still holds, now the UTs are: Thu 0030, Sat 2230, Tue 1430,
apparently on the first or second week of the month. Audio of the first one was
linked, and presumably will be of Moyers if you can find it (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 13665, Nov 8 at 0152, not much fading, S9+20 open carrier, then
intermittent Russian tune-up tones. Most be VOR about to open. Same tones
synchronized on 12030, and VOR English NAm after 0200. At 0232, 13665 is best,
then 12030, also // 7290 all synchronized, and 7250 about one second behind. At
0235, VOR English also on 13735 and a bit off-synch with 13665. Sites and
azimuths:
13735, 50 degrees from Vladivostok (apparently ex-9855 initially B-11)
13665, 61 degrees from Pet/Kam
12030, 70 degrees from Pet/Kam
7290, 310 degrees from Pridnestrovye (so surprisingly synched with the FE
sites --- must be taking same satellite feed)
7250, 315 degrees from `Armavir`, Europe
Who will be atop 9840 later in the evening?? This time Nov 8 at 0547 it`s VOR
English via Pet/Kam instead of R. Rossii via Moskva. No 9855.
6135, also rechecking VOR via St. Petersburg site, UT Nov 8: no het tonite from
Bolivia at 0159, ID as Golos Rossii; timesignal about one second late and into
Spanish. 0221, S9+15 but just barely modulated.
7210, Nov 8 at 0241, awful garbage mostly on hi side from defective V. of
Russia transmitter during scheduled Spanish, and I do detect a carrier still on
7210.0. Wolfgang B?schel has reported:
``7210.750, Again noted in this winter season as in previous B-10, Voice of
Russia in Spanish uses this odd frequency offset, noted at 0120 UT Oct 31, on
S=9+25dBm level here in western Europe. Registered Moscow Lesnoy 500 kW unit at
265 degrees towards Central and Northern South America. 0000-0600 UT
registration entry in HFCC list`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 6074, Nov 8 at 1300, just as the finale timesignal from R. Rossii
6075 via Pet/Kam is playing, the erstwhile V/CQ marker starts from what is
presumed to be a Russian army station: VVV CQ CQ CQ DE 2MTL 2MTL K, as heard in
previous winters when RR signed off at 1400, so obviously it`s deliberately
correlated with that. 8GAL is another tactical ID for same, perhaps to be heard
later in the season. Ron Howard first confirmed 2MTL`s reappearance on Nov 4.
The 6075 carrier, BTW, is still slightly wobbling, obvious with BFO, went off
about the same time the CW ended this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 11780, UT Tuesday Nov 8 at 0111 I start monitoring whether REE`s
weekly Sephardic service to South America, of all places, will show up here as
announced in B-11, despite strong signal from BRAZIL, R. Nacional da Amaz?nia.
I think the Noblejas carrier is already on, zero-beat. At 0113:40 starts REE IS
mixing badly. 0115 sign-on but no frequencies given. Then while an Amazonian is
singing off-key, much nicer tango-like music from REE. What a pity they are
colliding instead of Spain staying on clear 11795.
The final repeat to N America, however, is loud and clear as usual, on 9690 at
0415-0430 Tuesdays. Checked at 0430 with automatic timesignal played during
interview by the YL host speaking Sephardic, if you listen carefully for the
divergences from pure Castilian, while her guest Alex Quiroga seemed to stay in
Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also KUWAIT
** SUDAN. Monitoring of Omdurman at 0330 on 7200: see IRAN [and non]. I see
that HFCC B-11 shows this bandedge frequency for the `ALF` site of SBC Sudan:
0300-2100 to CIRAF 47, 100 kW, 210 degrees. And one other, which is imaginary:
9505, 0500-1000, 100 kW, 0 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. 17745, Nov 8 at 1501, Sudan Radio Service via Woofferton UK,
good signal but still with echo, in Arabish. They once were scheduled in
English during first half-hour. Has anyone found if and when they are
consistently in English, however accented it may be? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. More anomalies from WYFR; see also U S A:
9355, Nov 8 at 0255 unusual jazz catches my ear, but it`s just within or
introducing RTI`s mailbag in English, // 9985, and synchronized with much
stronger 9680, which is the only 31m frequency this is supposed to be on: 9355
and 9985 are scheduled as YFR in Spanish.
6875, Nov 8 at 0553 check, RTI via WYFR yet again in Chinese instead of
scheduled English; 0559 WYFR ID, timesignal, RTI sign-on in German instead of
Spanish. No frequencies or time heard, but did mention a few times that it was
their `Montag` show, while now it`s Tuesday in Europe, even more so in Taiwan,
let alone Florida (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** THAILAND [and non]. 13745, Nov 8 at 0000, ``Live from the Public Relations
Department of the Thai government, this is the news hour . .. Radio Thailand``
W&M anchors; heavy flutter but good signal strength. New B-11 frequency. Not
monitored, but at 0030 is supposed to switch from 6 to 30 degree beams, i.e.
east to west coast NAm. The next English at 0200-0230 reverts to 6 degrees on
15275. I noticed that 13760, VOK Spanish, 28 degrees from Kujang had less
flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also U K [non]
** U K [non]. 15755, Nov 7 at 2358 fluttery Bow Bells, meaning BBCWS is about
to open; 0003 in English news // 13725, both poor but readable, about the best
we can hope for now. 15755 is 00-02, 25 degrees USward from THAILAND; 13725
ditto except only one hour. 15755 still audible at 0149 with flutter.
6145 // 9460 are our access to BBCWS in English after 0300, both fair at 0327,
and both scheduled this hour only: 6145 USward from SOUTH AFRICA, 9460 westward
from SEYCHELLES. Also at 03-06: 7255 via ASCENSION.
7400, Nov 8 at 1342, B-B-C- Chimes. I`ll bet it`s about to be Burmese, starting
at odd time 1345; yes, 1344.5, opening in Burmese. Poor here with ACI from 7405
Mart?/jamming. Is 340 degrees from SINGAPORE at 1345-1430 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9985, 11825 and 11885, Nov 8 at 0106-0109+ I find open carriers of
similar strength on all three; at 0114 they all start modulating in Chinese,
synchronized. Must be WYFR. Yes, all registered during this hour but supposed
to be in Spanish or Portuguese! 0147 recheck, still Chinese (WYFR or RTI
relay?) on 9985 and 11825 but 11885 is off, just as scheduled for 0145*. Are
they messed up. See also TAIWAN [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11870, Nov 8 at 0148, WEWN in Spanish is on the squealy transmitter.
15610, Nov 8 at 1337 and 1413 chex, no WEWN, so the English transmitter
scheduled from 1200 is off the air again, and along with it the plus/minus 9,
18 and even 27 kHz spurs. What a relief (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5890, tnx to standard time, we have an extra hour respite from
Brother Scare, WWCR-4 not yet on at 0558, just lite residual pulse jamming from
Cuba against never-on-at-this-hour VOA Spanish. *0559 carrier on, brief
sign-on, and join in progress Brother Scare (he`s always joined in progress,
since he never builds in pauses for IDs or anything) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A [and non]. 9990, Nov 8 at 1408, Vietnamese from RFA via SAIPAN, as
WTWW-2 is still not in operation, to collide with this at 14-15 when it starts
