** ALBANIA. My recent remark about reception reports of 13640 quoted by R.
Tirana on their mailbag being incorrect was: incorrect. Referring to English
broadcasts, 13640 had been in use for the 1845 and 2000 broadcasts early in
A-11, then replaced by 13735 when India appeared unexpectedly on 13640 and
refused to move off.
The other 13 MHz frequency was 13625 for the 1430 broadcast including when
service resumed in October after a two-month hiatus. However, 13640 was in use
again for a few days at the end of October, as B-11 frequencies were applied
unexpectedly early to A-11 times, i.e. 1430. 13640 continued a few more days at
the beginning of B-11 for the shifted 1530 broadcast, until it was replaced by
0230 on 7420. I must have overlooked that because of its brief vigence and
unsuccessful attempts to hear it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11780, Nov 18 at 0546, surprised to find R. Nacional Amaz?nia
already on the air with slow romantic song. Normal turn-on ranges from 0630 to
0700 except 24 hours on UT Sundays and this was Friday. Second-strongest signal
on band after JORDAN [q.v.] 11960 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake Nov 18, before 1400:
16100, very good with flutter at 1356
15445, barely detectable at 1334, but I think it`s FD vs the het from 15443, no
doubt V. of Tibet via Tajikistan on typical offset frequency
14700, poor at 1357
13920, very good with flutter at 1357
12600, very good at 1357; none in the 11s, 10s, 9s, 8s, 7s by 1400
Before 1500:
14700, good at 1437
12600, good at 1437
9200, poor at 1440
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 5745, Nov 18 at 1152, R. Mart? is VG with NO jamming, unlike
// 5980 and 6030 walls of noise.
``Official`` B-11 RHC schedules are now circulating, sent out by Arnie Coro and
by the correspondence department. We`ve spotted several errors in them, and
they don`t match what`s on the website. Don`t you believe any listed RHC
frequency until you axually monitor it. True to form, RHC never manages to get
its act 100% together (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM [and non]. As per large publicity campaign, KTWR was inaugurating one
of its two new 250 kW transmitters Nov 18 at 1330-1400 on 15400, but God`s
propagation was not cooperating. I was monitoring a few minutes earlier, and at
*1330 on came a very weak and fluttery carrier, bothered even by a bit of
splatter from 15380 RHC.
I could barely hear someone talking, but it was pointless to try to copy this
special transmission. Rechecked at 1349 and found additional QRM from Chinese
on 15397! Must have been where jumpy V. of Tibet landed at the moment from
Tajikistan. Per Aoki, a more usual spot is 15433.
Yimber Gaviria forwards TWR`s coverage of this momentous event:
http://bit.ly/sPFTn8
The latest TWR schedule at HFCC,
http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B11&broadc=TWR
does not yet show any 250 kW frequencies for KTWR, so when and where are they
now in use??
BTW, now`s my chance for an off-topic language remark: Surpassing the
controversy over whether Aga?a should have a Spanish colonial tilde on it, is
the official (?) Chamorro language spelling of the capital, Hag?t?a (note the
added Swedish influence), like the island itself, Gu?han. In case this reaches
you as garble, in both names there is a circle over the A in the middle, like
the name for extremely short wavelengths, but what sound does it signify in
Chamorro? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JORDAN. 11960, Nov 18 at 0547, few signals on 25m and this one is easily the
strongest, surprisingly surpassing Brazil (q.v.) on early 11780. Great lively
ME music. 0600 widely-spaced (2 seconds apart?) time signal ending 5.5 seconds
late! Arabic ID starts ``Sawt ul-Urdan`` I think, before cut off the air
abruptly.
I`m confident it was R. Jordan, despite strange scheduling. HFCC B-11 as of 18
Nov shows 0500-0715, 500 kW, 350 degrees to Central & Eastern Europe. But for
years they have axually been on the air for only one hour in a legacy SW
broadcast. Aoki B-11 shows 0400-0500 but that was the A-11 timing; with DST now
off, it`s one real hour later at 05-06 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5910, Friday Nov 18 at 1407, Sea Breeze YL in English
with pauses and sounders every few sex during presumed news headlines; poor
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OMAN. 15140, Nov 18 at 1430, R. Sultanate of Oman is no longer so rare with
improved conditions, but never a very good signal. At tune-in playing military
march tune, presumably their version of a news theme, as every Mideast station
has one. Into headlines with music underneath, undermining readability even tho
American accent. At 1431.5 kills the music for body of news, but still tough
copy (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 6875, you guessed it, Nov 18 at 0651 check, RTI via WYFR is
still in wrong language, German (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [non]. 15397, Nov 18 at 1349, Chinese causing het to 15400 KTWR
special transmission [see GUAM]. Must have been where jumpy V. of Tibet landed
at the moment from TAJIKISTAN. Per Aoki, a more usual spot is 15433. Seems the
jammers had not caught up with it, 250 kW from Guam 3 kHz away may have
sufficed in Asia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 15350 is a good spot for Turkish music from VOT until 1400, but Nov
18 at 1344 a YL is singing a slow song in English! Something about ``wishing
wells --- who can tell?``. Very hard to copy due to piano accompaniment,
dixion, and above all, severe selective fading distortion. 1347 brief
announcement in Turkish, and another song by her in English, ``I told you. .
.``; 1354 cut to Turkish music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 5875 // 5975, Nov 18 at 1406 BBCWS in English opening `Hardtalk`
discussion, via Thailand and Singapore respectively, 5875 stronger. Nov 13 at
1455, I had found the pair were not // (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1591 monitoring: first airings confirmed Thursday Nov
17 at 2200 on WTWW 9479, and at 2230 on WBCQ 7490. WTWW was as usual a
super-signal, but with some lo-frequency rumble on the modulation (which is not
on the WOR file); audio was better on WBCQ and the co-channel from BBC Thailand
gradually lessened during the semihour as WBCQ strengthened and Nakhon Sawan
weakened; still, 7505 e.g. remains begging for an occupant other than imaginary
WRNO, with no such collision.
WRMI could not be detected at 2200 on 9955 despite no jamming. Jeff White
explains why: ``Glenn: We've just starting running 2300-1500 UTC weekdays, and
continue 24 hours on weekends. Jeff``
! That means all the DX programs M-F at 15-17 UT are gone from SW too. We`ll
have to remove several airings of WORLD OF RADIO from the sked. WRMI remains a
good 24/7 listen on webcast, also for some music shows.
0430 UT Friday confirmed on WWRB 3195, and still also weaker // 5051.
Further airings on WRMI 9955: Saturday 0900, 1600, 1830, Sunday 0900, 1630,
1830; on WTWW 5755: UT Sunday 0500; on WBCQ Area 51 5110v-CUSB: UT Monday 0400.
On WRN via SiriusXM 120: Sat & Sun 1830, Sun 0930.
ACB Radio Mainstream webcast of WOR on UT Fridays now on even UT hours, heard
at 1600 Nov 18; repeats every two hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15825, Nov 18 at 1229, WWCR cuts off Arabic for produced super-hype
ID in English, introduces SWOG (Spoken Word Of God) ``hosted`` by Alexander
Scourby, i.e. KJV Bible readings (motivation for which was more political than
religious). Only fair signal this early. The Arabic service is M-F 1215-1230
only, what else but `Arabic New Testament`, sorely lacking the beauty and
elegance of Qur`anic recitations, let alone KJV. No wonder the Christians are a
minority over there.
By 1434, 15825 has built up to a huge signal, and splattering over half the 19
m band. This is during `Inspirations Across America`, black gospel music hour
with mandatory overmodulation on the distorted fundamental. I can hear the
splatter all the way from 15450 to 15900, i.e. as usual mostly on the lower
side, why? Worst peaks are around 15560 and 15680.
This atrocity was no ``Great Gettin-Up Mornin``` despite the song of the
moment, Fare thee well, Fare thee well. WWCR thus continues to interfere with
countless fellow shortwave broadcasters, as allegedly hot-shot chief engineer
Phil Patton is either unable or unwilling to fix this long-standing defect in
#1 transmitter, along with the relatively minor +/- 15.6 kHz spurs which were
undetectable this time under all the splatter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 9330v-CUSB, Nov 18 at 1209, WBCQ is in dead air; not wake-up time yet
in Monticello. By next check 1400, GFRN/2:11 has resumed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 7295, Nov 18 at 1401, K0IEI contacting unheard KO0E, ``with
a little music in the background`` discussing his eary medical issues. Some
hams are gluttons for punishment. Exactly atop strong AM signal, but no SAH, so
I assume the ham was in SSB. Scheduled 13-15 on 7295 is VOA Chinese via
Novosibirsk, so what we were hearing would have been the ChiCom jamming, CNR1.
QRZ.com shows K0IEI as: JAMES C BENNETT, 87 STONEYKIRK DR, BELLA VISTA, AR
72715 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VIETNAM [and non]. 12000, Nov 18 at 1200, I think I hear R. Bulgaria`s theme
music, and it is an even -00 frequency they could use, but not scheduled this
season. Then at 1210 check programming in Chinese, mixed with noise, QRDRM.
Aoki and HFCC show what this collision must really be:
V. of Vietnam in Chinese, 27 degrees USward from Hanoi VN1 site; and
V. of Russia English+Russian in DRM, 40 kW, 195 degrees from Novosibirsk (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VIETNAM [and non]. 9920, Nov 18 at 1205, siren jamming on Vietnamesish
minolity language, listed as Tai Dam, Fridays at 1200-1230 from FEBC
PHILIPPINES, among many other obscure tonguespeakers ripe for conversion from
Communism to Christianity; beware! beware! say the sirens (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5875 approx., Nov 18 at 1154, very strong signal of
frequency-shifting pulses, making chirps with BFO on. Fortunately, BBC from
Thailand toward W NAm does not start until 1200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7275, re previous report, I have realized that another
possibility for the open carrier I was getting at 0731 Nov 17 was: FRCN Abuja,
NIGERIA. Would stations please modulate, thank you (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

Free Radio Guide Has
World's MegaCities Covered
__________________________
The online PAL Radio Guide covers seven of the World's 10 Biggest
MegaCities and eight of the World's 10 Fastest Growing Cities of
Tomorrow says the Radio Heritage Foundation, which hosts the free
radio station guide at www.radioheritage.com.
Responding to the current TIME magazine cover story 'The World at 7
Billion', a spokesman for the Radio Heritage Foundation says it's
easy to search the PAL Radio Guide and find details of thousands of
radio stations for free.
Of the TIME Top 10 World's Biggest MegaCities, the PAL Radio Guide
covers #1 Tokyo, #2 Seoul, #5 Mumbai, #6 Jakarta, #8 Delhi, #9
Shanghai and #10 Manila.
Collectively, these seven megacities are home to over 142 million
people who rely on radio for entertainment, news and information.
The PAL Radio Guide also covers the TIME Worlds' Top 10 Fastest
Growing Cities of Tomorrow with #1 Delhi, #2 Dhaka, #4 Mumbai, #5
Karachi, #7 Kolkata, #8 Shanghai, #9 Lahore and #10 Manila all
included.
Introduced over 50 years ago, the PAL Radio Guide is the only guide
of its kind based on widespread monitoring of radio dials across the
entire Asia-Pacific region. It is hosted at www.radioheritage.com,
regularly updated and available free as a worldwide community
service.
The Radio Heritage Foundation says that radio continues to be
incredibly popular in all the megacities, whether delivered online,
through mobile phones or the more traditional radio receiver.
It expects to continue expanding its coverage of the megacity radio
scene as the megacities themselves grow in the future.
Radio Heritage Foundation is a non-profit foundation that connects
radio, popular culture and heritage at www.radioheritage.com.

American Radio Books

http://www.radioheritage.net/shop5.asp
Our Top 5 Recommended Books for November are:
#1 American Radio in China
The American influence on early radio in China was immense. In fact,
the first known stations were all owned by Americans. For those who
think that radio began [or died] there in 1949 with Radio Peking,
this book is an eye-opener!
#2 Life Was a Radio, But Rock & Roll Almost Killed Me
A brand new book, with lots of stories, anecdotes and inside 'back
stories' by an American broadcaster. Network v local radio,
personalities and more.
#3 Changing Stations
The best book available documenting the history of commercial radio
in Australia. Again, anecdotes and inside stories make this a
fascinating read. Some things never change, such as record labels
demanding royalties.
#4 Champagne & Caviar
This is different, because how many broadcasters in one country [USA]
also start up co-operative banks in another country [Australia] and
then write a book about how these career paths converged.
#5 Ham Radio for Dummies
This enduring hobby still reaches out globally to thousands of new
radio amateurs every year...and this book explains our fascination
with the microphone, transmitter and technical skills that entertain,
and save lives in emergencies.

AUSTRALIA, VMC Charleville Meteo, Charleville QLD, 16546 USB, f/d
logo/flag e-QSL in 2 days for an email English report. Thanks for
Alokesh Gupta for pointing me to the correct person to send the reports
to! You can send yours to Mr. Navin Chandran, N(dot)Chandran at
bom(dot)gov(dot)au . Navin informs me that the previous QSL Manager,
Mike Dalakis, has retired and he has assumed Mike's duties.
FRANCE, 3AC Monaco Radio, 8728, fdate only QSL sheet (photo and
letter) in 11 days for 2 IRCs and English airmail report. QSL is in
French with a short thank you in English. V/s illegible.
GERMANY, Europe No.1, 183 kHz, f/d towers/feeders/tx site card in 575
days for English airmail report with US $5.00, and follow-up report in
French with 2 IRCs via Registered mail. QSL received 69 days after
follow-up. Initial and follow-up reports were sent to Paris address as
listed in WRTH, however QSL was sent from German address of Postfach
1365, D-66713 Saarlouis, where, I suspect, I should have sent it all
along. The station was heard on Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan with a
WinRadio G303e and 100m randomwire from 1854 until 1941 UTC on April 14
2010 with sports programming, SINPO 24222.
RUSSIA. St. Petersburg Regional Center, 6135, f/d commemorative QSL card
in 13 days for English email report on Spanish VoR program. V/s Mikhail
Timofeyev, also sent very beautiful 10th anniversary pennant which will
hang proudly on my wall. Truly a beautiful card showing the beauty of
the St. Petersburg area and broadcast tower.
This report is a day early as I and another person are headed for the
NevemBEERfest in SoHo NYC tomorrow. This means a weekend away from the
dials for me, so I wish a huge DX success to those who are unable to
break away.
Have a great weekend everyone!

** ALBANIA. R. Tirana has corrected their opening schedule announcement in
English. Missed the UT Nov 18 0230 broadcast, and nothing came around on the
webcast after that, but UT Nov 19 I brought up the 7420 webcast at 0223, with
the R. Tirana IS already playing. 0230 sign-on by Klara Ruci has been fixed so
she announces the two English broadcasts correctly as to the UK at 2100 UTC on
7530, to the USA at 0230 on 7420. (Still need to add: except Sundays/UT
Mondays, and adding Canada if not Ireland, the rest of Europe would be nice
too.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake November 18, before 2330:
13920, fair with flutter at 2318; none higher before 2318, but I may have
started tuning down too soon
9200, fair at 2325, with QRM from 9199.0-USB, sounds like English, American
military, but then it stopped; no FD in the 12s, 11s, 10s
Before 2400, all with flutter:
17170, good at 2356
16700, good at 2356
15900, very good at 2357
13920, fair at 2358
Also, equally strong CNR1 on 15550 at 2357, a jammer too. HFCC shows Beijing
starting at 0000, but it so happens that IBB Chinese via Tinian is also on
15550 at 23-24 only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Seems like the 671 kHz carrier was missing after the first two nights,
but it`s back UT Nov 19 around 0030 UT as I was driving back and forth to the
nearest fast food joint, where I had an 11-minute 0022-0033 wait for one
burger, unlike a very irate customer who stormed in from his car, still
unserved after 26 minutes. If I had used the drive-thru, I could have listened
to the het just as long! It was still going at 0441 re check. We may safely
assume it is far more annoying to Dentro-Cubans trying to hear 50 kW R. Rebelde
on one of its prime MW frequencies, established on 670 really to block WWFE in
Florida.
Terry Krueger in Clearwater FL has the 671 answer an hour later Nov 19 at 0130:
``Rebelde audio, fairly decent at times.`` During the daytime on Nov 15 he
could get the carrier, but no audio; so it had to be from western Cuba, no
further east than 50 miles from Habana. Slightly stronger into the evening. But
not heard night of UT November 16. He hears a second Rebelde on 670 besides
Arroyo Arenas. WRTH 2011 shows one of those, and one R. Reloj on 670, with no
location. Let`s check the Reloj website itself:
http://www.radioreloj.cu/index.php/programacion-de-la-emisora-radio-reloj/72-cadenas-de-trasmision-de-radio-reloj-por-am
No 670 outlet listed there, let alone 671; what do they know?
Albert Lehr replied earlier via the ABDX group: ``I heard a weak carrier on 671
kHz in Livermore, California at 0310 UT 11/16. The bearing from here is about
110 degrees, possibly skewed a little on my indoor loop. The carrier is within
1 Hz of being exactly on 671 kHz. This may be a repeat of the Cuban experiment
in the fall of 2007 on 1181 kHz.``
More reports of it tonight UT Nov 19 on the ABDX list:
``HUGE 1 kHz upper-sidetone heterodyne on 670 from the 671 kHz carrier tonight.
Loops almost due south-north. I'll have to see if it is present during the day
while looping that direction since I get many Cubanos day and night. BTW, I now
live in Buras, LA, even further out into the Gulf of Mexico. -Darwin Long``
``EVEN further out into the Gulf Darwin? Stay dry, Buddy! DX isn't worth your
life ;-) . The tone is audible here in St. Louis, Missouri, loud but not
overwhelming. It more or less seems to peak at the exact same times Cuba
overtakes my semi-local WSCR Chicago (which happens a lot). I'm wondering
openly if it's a parasite/unintentional spur of some sort from the Cuban
transmitter? Earl Higgins, St. Louis, Missouri, USA``, 0443 UT Nov 19
``Re 671 kHz: The tone on 670 is much louder here in Tulsa tonite (2030 CST 18
NOV 11 [0230 UT 19 NOV]) than previously heard. No DF capabilities here,
unfortunately. Bruce Winkelman AA5CO, Tulsa, OK``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. In wake of RHC distributing its alleged B-11 schedule, I check a few
things Nov 18: at 2322, mainstream is on 9810 and stronger 9710, no 9540, while
separate Mesa Redonda is on 9660. Arnie`s schedule lists two overlapping
entries for ``9540``: 22-06 for Am?rica Central, and 24-05 [sic] for Rio de
Janeiro. That does not make sense. By 0442, the two 31m channels I hear are
9740 and 9810, neither of which are on his schedule, and NOT 9540 or 9540.
Maybe a change is forthcoming? Or maybe Arnie just doesn`t know what the
transmitters are transmitting, or vice versa. But his most valuable volunteer
monitor abroad does.
As of early UT Nov 19, the website Spanish schedule
http://www.radiohc.cu/de-interes/frecuencias.html
lists
9810: 22-06 Am?rica Central
9710: 22-24 Caribe, then 6120 at 24-06
9740: 24-05 Suram?rica
9540: 12-16 Am?rica Central - only time for it
This is closer to correctness, and at 0521 I also confirm that 6120 is on in
Spanish, despite 6125 having started at 0500 in English (ex-6150). So another
anomaly: RHC is now 5 kHz apart with two separate programs for an hour. That
beats 10 kHz apart with same programs (6050/6060 English).
Back at 2359 as I tuned in 11840, a frequency announcement was just concluding
with ``5040``. If that was supposed to be useful right then, it`s not, for 5040
had just split from Spanish, and after 0000 UT Nov 19 opening in --- Creole!
Not English as I had confirmed a few nights earlier in the 00-01 hour.
The schedule Arnie has sent out is all mixed up about 5040, showing Spanish at
21-23 and 01-05, which was the A-11 timing when 23-01 was occupied by English
hour, then Creole and French. But despite the Spanish times shown, the new sked
does have English at 00-01 and Creole/French at 01-02. But that`s not what we
axually heard! So have the Englishy and Frenchy hours been swapped? Or was this
a one-night SNAFU? I missed checking what was really on at 01-02 Nov 19 on 5040.
Once again as in season after season, if you want to know RHC`s REAL schedule,
consult my monitoring reports, not what RHC e-mails or puts on its website
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 6270, Nov 18 at 2331, R. Cairo in English about architecture of the
pyramids, which should be a safe subject in these uncertain contemporary times.
The modulation level was OK this time, but breaking up, plus a continuous loud
whine of roughly half a kHz. This was not a heterodyne from some other signal,
but transmitted by R. Cairo itself, the Abis site doing its best to drive away
listeners from the unappreciated work of the program presenters back in Cairo,
for whom my continuing condolences. Meanwhile, the 12-hour Arabic broadcast
also from Abis on 9305 was even worse as always, extremely distorted modulating
only at peaks (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. I recently mentioned that I was no longer hearing a het on 1600, so
apparently the off-frequency station, KMDO in Fort Scott KS, had fixed it ---
no, there it is again, beating against KUSH/KRVA at 2113 UT Nov 18 on the
caradio, and another one like it on 1510; as I toggled back and forth between
the two on memory presets, (once known as push-buttons), the 1600 pitch matched
exactly to my ear the het on 1510 caused by off-frequency KCTE Independence
MO/Kansas City, which others have measured on 1510.83. I wonder if they are
using same kind of transmitter subject to this peculiarity, as it`s quite a
coincidence for both to be off by the precisely the same amount. KMDO is in SE
Kansas, just one myriameter from the MO border west of Nevada (Glenn Hauser,
Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
