Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** ALBANIA [and non]. 7425, Dec 9 at 0013, R. Tirana with CRI interference
under, which could be resolved if Albania would just move 5 kHz to open 7420
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 6020, Dec 9 at 1334, R. Australia sports talk has heavy
CCI from music. HFCC shows the problem now at 13-14 is CNR in Mongolian, 100
kW, 15 degrees from Beijing site. Aoki says it is the CNR8 service in
Mongolian, but 100 kW, 283 degrees. Since it`s carrying on so well to NAm, I
suspect the former azimuth, vs. RA which is 30 degrees from Shepparton toward
Alaska (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRIA. 6155, Dec 9 at 0647, R. Austria International in regular morning
classical music show with short pieces: madrigal song, then D. Scarlatti, very
good signal with YL announcer; wish I could listen to this and Spain 5965 and
Mexico 6185 all at the same time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 9, after 1400:
15495, very good with flutter at 1406, during initially rather unfamiliar
passage in the 60-minute loop skipped on most frequencies. Presumably here
again as yesterday to block unheard V. of Tibet 2 or 3 kHz away. Had just come
on, not there a couple minutes earlier as I tuned by.
Before 1500:
1454-1500, none found manually tuning quickly from 7 to 19 MHz
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15380, Dec 9 at 1408, dead air with some hum from RHC, while normal on
13780 and the other frequencies. 1425 transmitter also cut off and on the air a
few times, 1429 finally started modulating. Every day there is some anomaly on
RHC if not several (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE [and non]. 9765, Dec 9 at 0635, chanson in French, so RFI Musique
fill instead of regular English news programming; At 0636 the French service on
7390 was not replaced by musique; both with fair signals.
15300 and 17620 French service, much stronger 17690 Spanish service via GUIANA
FRENCH, Dec 9 at 1410 all in // RFI musique strike-filler.
Another update from Mike Cooper to DXLD, earlier Dec 9: ``Workers at RFI voted
today to extend the strike another day, until a meeting of workers on Friday
afternoon. There were three votes to suspend the strike and five abstentions.
At today's meeting, workers heard a statement from French presidential
candidate Fran?ois Holland (Socialist) "assuring RFI personnel of his full
support."`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, Dec 9 at 1344, VOI has switched to their other transmitter
after many months on 9525-, but the signal is no better, JBA carrier in fact,
tipped by tell-tale het of only 4 kHz against the loud Chinese radio war on
9530 vs the inaudible VOI English hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN [non]. 13635, Dec 9 at 1420, great S/SW Asian pop music, from R. Farda,
ID at 1425, fair signal until 1429* was 250 kW, 105 degrees via Wertachtal,
GERMANY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 6135, Dec 9 at 1332, ``Shiokaze, Sea Breeze from Tokyo,
Japan`` then ``News Flash`` brief items about NK with same stinger every few
seconds. They need to tighten up and diversify their produxion. From Hiroshi`s
latest compilation of clandestines to N Korea, via S. Hasegawa: JSR Shiokaze
complicated language rotation:
Full hour 1330-1430: English on Friday, Japanese on Monday-Thursday.
1330-1400 Japanese on Sunday, Korean on Saturday. 1400-1430: Korean on Sunday,
Japanese on Saturday.
The other broadcast which we never hear in North America, 5910 at 2000-2100 has
exactly the same pattern, e.g. English on UT Fridays, i.e. on the following
morning local time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH. 6550, Dec 9 at 0638, no signal from unID Korean as heard 24.5
hours earlier. But Sei-ichi Hasagawa replies to our previous report:
``Dear Glenn, It seems to be MND Radio, new version program by female.
6135 and 6230 kHz is a program by male. The station name announcement as ever
neither. MND Radio on 6550 kHz in addition from 1100 UT December 9; I can
receive 6550 from 1100 in Korean`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) MND
= Ministry of National Defense, S Korea
** MAURITANIA. 7245, Dec 9 at 0637, IGIM is on the air in Arabic talk, not
chanting (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6185, Dec 9 at 0642, XEPPM albums cuts by YL sound like Eartha Kitt:
``My Heart Belongs to Daddy``, 0643 segu? to ``Let`s Fall In Love``, Cole
Porter songs. So much good music during this semihour on 49m: we are torn among
this and Austria and Spain, but R. Educaci?n has the weakest signal (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MOROCCO. 15349.1, Dec 9 at 1409, IMM stix here with Arabic music, in the
clear during this hour after hetting Turkey until 1356, and before hetting
Vatican from 1457 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [non]. 5965, Dec 9 at 0645, jazz song in French, from what else? REE
via COSTA RICA, soon followed by Castilian announcement; vies with MEXICO 6185
and AUSTRIA 6155 for our musical enjoyment (Glenn hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 6875, Dec 9 at 0638, RTI via WYFR, VG still in wrong language,
German (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15590, Dec 9 at 1354, ``Buenos D?as, Am?rica`` is celebrating its
fiftieth anniversary on VOA with a special show from 1330; all three
frequencies heavily jammed by Cuba, tnx a lot, Arnie! But 15590 has better s/n
ratio than 13750, 9885. VOA jingles, mentions ``50 a?os en el ?ter`` tho the
etheric medium was overlooked in VOA PR release the day before about this. This
is a salute from longtime affiliate R. Carve in Uruguay, no doubt the last of
many more earlier in the show. 1356 VOA announces its shortwave frequencies,
plus jingles, singing IDs in English, ``direct from W?shington``. Asking for
recuerdos from oyentes if they have any recordings or ephemera of the early
years; show webpage
http://www.voanews.com/spanish/programs/radio/45706177.html
has link to audio of this latest show, i.e.
http://www.voanews.com/mp3/voa/latam/span/SPANISH_BUENOSDIAS.mp3
which may be up until Monday morning and no further? I am escuching it unjammed
while compiling this report. No news this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1594 monitoring: confirmed Thursday Dec 8 at 2200 on
WTWW 9479, excellent signal. Also from 2229.5 on WBCQ 7490, but with heavy BBC
QRM, co-channel from Thailand almost as strong. This clash varies from day to
day, but today grayline propagation from E Asia was working very well on this
signal aimed USward. (WOR was also interrupted at 2235 for a few notes of Eine
Kleine Nachtmusik, pause, and resumed.)
Meanwhile, 7505 remains empty, as WRNO has been off the air for more than a
year but ties up the frequency. I can`t seem to persuade Allan to consider a
frequency change, even tho BBC co-channel collision affects all other
programming in the 22-24 UT period, not just WOR.
More WORLD OF RADIO airings:
On WRMI 9955: Sat 0900, 1600, 1830, Sun 0900, 1630, 1830, Mon 1230.
On WTWW 5755: UT Sun 0500
On WBCQ 5110v-CUSB: UT Mon 0330 [maybe; as last week]
On HLR 5980: Tue 1030
Also on SiriusXM 120: Sat & Sun 1830, Sun 0930
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9990/5085, WTWW-2, still nothing heard, but the spurs at plus/minus
12-13 kHz intervals discovered during the test a few weeks ago, have finally
been fixed. George McClintock updates Dec 9: ``To get rid of the spurs, we had
to take the synthesizer and move it away from the screen voltage supply
filter.`` Continental personnel are now at WTWW working on a few other minor
problems before regular service can begin, target date still not set, but will
be another full-time religious broadcaster (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6023, Dec 9 at 1453, suspicious carrier hetting 6025 RFA
Cantonese via TINIAN, no to be jammed until Mandarin starts at 1500. Nothing in
Aoki, Eibi or HFCC (of course). Perhaps a tribute to Avogadro`s number, which
since I first studied chemistry, has been refined closer to 6.022 x 10 to the
23rd (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9610, Dec 9 at 1345-1347* fluttery open carrier, tone on and off.
Nothing scheduled during this hour in HFCC, EiBi or Aoki, but the next occupant
at 14-15 is CRI in Sinhala, 500 kW, 258 degrees from Jinhua 831 site (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

with English language program from 1000-1100 UTC. Audible this morning with O=3.
But from which transmitter site?
AOKI lists Aligarh, EiBi has Panaji, and HFCC has nothing at all.
