Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
** BOTSWANA. 17715, Dec 13 at 1453, Amerenglish with heavy flutter on audio and
frequency wobbling by Doppler. Scheduled as VOA at 14-15, 100 kW, 350 degrees,
to shift to 10 degrees at 15-16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 9785, Dec 13 at 1501, `China Drive` is opening, underneath
a stronger carrier with hum, but clear by 1503. VOA Chinese during the previous
hour via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, q.v. was a bit slow to turn off the carrier,
tsk2; also jammed per Aoki. CRI 9785 is Jinhua site at 264 degrees (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 13640, Dec 12 at 1947 check, huge collision between roughly
equal bigsigs from RHC and AIR, both broadcasting to Europe in French, as has
been the case since Nov 7 frequency changes by RHC. Both are outlaw stations,
refusing to participate in HFCC, so serves them right for not co?rdinating, but
pity the poor listeners in Europe. I suspect the 500 kW, 300 degrees from
Bangaluru have the advantage in Europe. Aoki claims the French segment from RHC
at 1930-2000 is 100 kW, nondirexional, while Portuguese and Arabic after 2000
are on 53 degrees. How much longer will this go on? Both stations are
obstinate, and we know Arnie doesn`t ever want to admit he made a mistake.
Reports, please, from Europe on how the mix is over there at 1930-2030 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [non]. Cf previous report under SOUTH CAROLINA [non] ---
15190, checking for any signal from R. Africa, at the times Brother Scare thinx
he is on the air, to E Africa, Monday at ``3-4 pm``, probably meaning EDT or
EST: no sign of it Monday Dec 12 at several chex, circa 1855, 1947, 2050, 2110
UT. Only extremely weak carrier, probably Brasil at some points, or before 1930
Philippines. Meanwhile, Ascension with YFR on 15195 at 20-22 had its usual good
signal, with flutter, and it`s in the same neighborhood as Equatorial Guinea.
If Brother Scare is really paying for airtime on ``R. Africa``, he`s wasting
his money, or rather that of the suckers who support him (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE [and non]. RFI strike situation check Dec 13:
9765, Dec 13 at 0635, fair with news in English
17690, Dec 13 at 1417 via GUIANA FRENCH, Spanish with history of French space
programme; also some ``generator hum``
17620, Dec 13 at 1419, French talk, not musique
Latest update from Mike Cooper Dec 12: ``Workers at RFI on Monday decided "to
suspend and not to stop the strike" begun on November 28, according to a
statement posted at RFIRiposte. "Other actions are being out in place. The
mobilization of workers against the merger of RFI and France 24 is intact," the
statement said. Monday morning, union officials delivered a letter to the
office of Prime Minister Francois Fillon asking that he block the merger.
"Today, the ball is in the court of the Prime Minister," unions said.
A French-language AFP story about RFI on Monday said that, even though
its worldwide audience has declined from 44 million in 2004 to 35.6
million in 2008, it is popular in France with 26 million listeners.
The AFP story added that as much as 80 percent of RFI's programming
has been replaced by music during the strike.``

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. 9335, Dec 13 at 1359 open carrier from VOK, except the sound of
N. Korean jamming is clearly heard, mixture at same Kujang transmitter site.
That`s noise with an oscillating/pulsing sound added. 1400 VOK IS, French
sign-on, anthem, with jamming still audible underneath (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, Dec 13 at 1410, fair signal from V. of Mesopotamia
with Kurdish music via UKRAINE; by 1458 it had faded to JBA. Media Network had
a story on the PKK Dec 8; we always have to point out that VOM is brought to us
by the same `terrorists` who run Roj TV:
``The PKK is considered a terrorist group by Turkey, the US and the European
Union. Its members are fighting for autonomy in Turkey?s southeast, a conflict
that has killed tens of thousands of people since 1984. Roj TV has a Danish
broadcasting license, but has no studios in Denmark.`` Read more from Today?s

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA [and non]. 7245, Dec 13 at 0638, IGIM is on and chanting vs
adjacent Vatican mass on 7250 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MONACO [non]. 5910, Dec 13 at 0644, TWR music-box IS, 0645 Polish. Cannot
hear a het or anything from Alcarav?n Radio, Colombia, which many nites at
other times has the frequency to itself. HFCC has TWR on 5910 only at
0645-0700, 100 kW, 55 degrees from Wertachtal, GERMANY.
At 0650 checked 7225, same YL speaking, but not //. Finally figured out that
7225 was running about 20 seconds ahead of 5910, so different playouts of same
program? Separation became more obvious when music started at 0653. HFCC shows
7225 is 100 kW, 300 degrees from Moosbrunn, AUSTRIA at 0644-0659. Are the
registered times one minute apart trying to indicate that they are really 20+
seconds apart? In A-11 the lower channel was on 5915 and the higher on 7220,
plus Czech at 0600-0615, both from `MCO` = Fontbonne, France, but not any more
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 91.7, Tuesday Dec 13 at 1430 UT as I turn on the breakfast table
radio, quite by chance catch another monthly `The Living Room` show on KOSU,
pre-empting the final semihour of NPR `Morning Edition`. Gerry Bonds is
interviewing a Mideast expert from UCO in the first half, and Moslem/Christian
women from Tulsa in the second half, who get together and enjoy each other`s
company, Jews and agnostix also welcome. See our previous report on this in
DXLD 11-45, when it was heard at same time Tuesday Nov 8 --- so seems to be
scheduled on the second Tuesday of each month (plus a couple of earlier times)
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 9760, Dec 13 at 1500, where is VOA English news? Finally at
1502, transmitter cuts on and off quickly multiple times during news, finally
stays on, but undermodulated and with hum, as also heard last few days. No
other carrier on frequency, so this Tinang unit is obviously ailing, presumably
the #2 transmitter, 250 kW at 21 degrees USward, also used on 9555 in Korean at
12-15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 9840, Dec 13 at 0634, poor signal from something, presumably R.
Rossii, Moscow site, which was absent 24 hours earlier tho propagation was
obviously funxioning from that same area on 9996. Still need to check before
0600 on the collision with VOR English from Pet/Kam to WNAm also on 9840, as
which one dominates from night to night varies greatly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 6875, Dec 13 at 0640, RTI via WYFR still in German instead of
Spanish, but explaining Chinese song lyrix and then playing the song; usual
huge signal aimed Mexicoward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9330-CUSB, Dec 13 at 0635, not only no modulation, but no signal from
WBCQ, despite Cairo-9305, Bulgaria-9400, BBC-9410 audible, and good signal from
WTJC-9370. But at 0704 recheck, WBCQ is back on 9330 with GFRN, and stronger
than 9370 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7295, Dec 13 at 0639, AM signal here not a broadcaster but a ham,
with test counts, quick ID sounded like WB3TM or WB3TL but no hits for either
on QRZ.com or ARRL.org. Please use fonetix? Algeria AM via France is currently
on 7295 only at 05-06, to be extended to -07 from Feb 26 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

QTH: Whitehall, Pennsylvania, USA
RX: WinRadio G303e
ANT: Wellbrook ALA1530P active loop (oriented N-S)
ACC: Hoka Code 300-32 Demodulator v3.08
5890, USA, VoA Greenville, heard with Spanish programming about world
journalism at 0118 UTC on 13 December 2011. SINPO 55544. Hoping to get
their QSL direct as discussed earlier in DXLD. They're only 365 miles
"down the road" from me, but after the appeal for reports direct, I
kinda feel obligated. ;-)
5970 BRAZIL, Radio Itatiaia, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, heard at
0054 UTC on December 13 2011 with comedy show, station ID's, news and
sports clips. Lots of sound effects in the comedy show as well as a
canned laugh track! SINPO 35433
6925 USA (PIRATE) Radio Ronin, heard at 0006 UTC on 13 December 2011
with modern rock and station IDs. Asking for reports at
radioroninshortwave(at)gmail(dot)com. Off at 0024 UTC. SINPO 45433.
19689.4 SOUTH AFRICA, ZSC Cape Town Radio, heard at 2030 UTC on
December 12 sending Globe Wireless Dataplex using identifier D2. SINPO 35433
25910 USA, WBAP Fort Worth, TX, studio-transmitter link. FM Modulation
heard at 1919 UTC on 12 December 2011 with traffic and weather reports,
local news and radical right-winger Rush Limbaugh's syndicated show.
SINPO 45533
25990 USA, KSCS Arlingon TX, studio-transmitter link. FM modulation,
heard at 1901 UTC on 12 December 2011 with lots of local commercial
announcements and country music with a female DJ. SINPO 45533.
Well, I have to say the Wellbrook loop definitely is much, much better
than my straight 100m longwire. My line noise and other locally
generated junk is down at least 35-40 dB. The loop really was a good
investment and it has paid off with my first logging of Radio Itatiaia!

CANADA/CUBA/INDIA 13640 AIR Bangalore in Arabic propagating poor today
Dec 13. Only tiny S=4 signal, just above threshold, noted here on various
remote SDR units in Italy, Netherlands, and close to London-UK. Only signal
in Greece was stronger of AIR Bangalore in Arabic.
Very late at 19.31:10 UT RHC carillon/piano interval signal opened, equal
signal level of RHC and AIR here in Europe, S=4 tonight, up to poor S=6 and
very noisy background. Difference between RHC and RCI Sackville next door
(see below) was -100 to -60dBm.
13650 Much, much stronger RCI Sackville in French, well propagating by 250
kW of power, S=9+25 to +30dB here in Europe at 1905 UT Dec 13, but decreased
to S=9 at 1950 UT.
Reception and propagation tonight is not typical at least, not to compare
with Glenn's reception on previous day.
US Radio Marti in Spanish on 11930 kHz at southerly azimuth from Greenville,
North Carolina is much stronger than RHC 13640 kHz, so at least in months
Dec to mid March - 13 MHz is too high on Cuba to Europe path.
To avoid RHC-AIR clash on 13640 kHz, would suggest to use any 11 MHz 25 mb
instead, there are lots of empty channels at night.

________________________________
The final five 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.
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.
The new features cover three original NSW country radio stations 2KM
Kempsey, 2MW Murwillumbah and 2QN Deniliquin, as well as 3BA Ballarat
and 4IP Ipswich and all five 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.
2KM - The Voice of the Macleay' was the only radio station on the air
between Newcastle and Grafton, and served 'one of the richest
dairying and kindred industry districts in the Commonwealth'.
Colgate-Palmolive sponsored five programs whilst Kelloggs Pty, Peters
Ice Cream, Nestles, and Cadbury were just some of the other station
sponsors.
Further north was 2MW Murwillumbah 'The Voice of the Far North Coast'
which was an independent station 'owing allegiance to no network'.
In the south-west of the state, 2QN Deniliquin 'The Riverina Station'
was headed by John Pearce who 'always seemed to be organizing
something, even, we believe, smoke parties'.
Further south is 3BA Ballarat 'Voice of the Garden City' with a
wonderful original letterhead showing it was truly a station 'Built
on Gold' and serving 'a city of over 40,000 inhabitants and over 400
factories'.
The final station in this series is 4IP Ipswich, whose 'children's
sessions are eagerly awaited by thousands of young people' and whose
listeners 'subscribed generously to appeals for Red Cross, Bundles
for Britain, Salvage Drives etc'.
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 in 2012, a new series honoring hundreds of Australia's Radio
Pioneers, part of our continuing commitment to preserving and
recording Australia's radio heritage for future generations to enjoy.
