** ANGUILLA. 6090, Caribbean Beacon/University Network is missing again
tonight, UT Dec 15 at 0344, audiblizing ETHIOPIA, q.v. Day frequency 11775 is
still heard around 1337 tuneby. Could be it`s stuck there 24 hours, as happens
periodically, but not propagating at night. Or does it still go off circa 2200?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Dec 15 at 1339 and 1442, no trace of a carrier from LRA36
during its last known hours of 13-15 Thursdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** BELARUS [non]. 6155, Dec 15 at 0426 strong signal in funny Russian
repeatedly mentioning Belarus, and very good modulation too. So is it R.
Belarus, as used at 17-23 for external service? No! It`s R. Liberty, via
Wertachtal, GERMANY at 04-05 in Belorussian (also 03-04 via Lampertheim), a
neat setup to `inherit` Minsk`s listeners the next morning: 0431 ID in passing
as R. Svoboda. Strangely enough, Belarus` own 6155 schedule is missing from
EiBi, but not from Aoki or HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHAD. 6165, Dec 15 at 0428, RN Bonaire has just gone off, so now we hear
hilife music, fast SAH from some CCI, Zambia? Or BBC Cyprus in Persian. 0430
French, more music, from RNT, which supposedly just signed on at 0427, but
lately has been running 24 hours. Currently there is a sesquihour window until
Bonaire is back on 6165 at 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. For the fourth day, no Firedrake at all to be heard! Is anyone,
anywhere, hearing FD at anytime? Dec 15 searched 7-19 MHz at 1335-1345 and
1440-1445. Maybe Sound of Hope has quit running all those 100-watt nuisance
transmitters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 13670, Dec 15 at 1439 and also after 1500: today`s anomaly from RHC,
this frequency is missing tho scheduled until 1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) See also IRAN
** EGYPT. 6270, Dec 15 at 0425, huge S9+25 signal from R. Cairo, but just
barely modulated with Qur`an. It`s listenable by turning the volume all the way
up, but more modulation, less signal would be more efficient, and never forget
to turn the volume down before tuning away from the frequency. Gone after 0430.
HFCC shows this is 200 kW, 325 degrees from Abis, including English to E NAm at
2300-2430, and furthermore exactly same parameters at 1800-2245 to Europe in
Italian, German, French, English 2115-2245 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** ETHIOPIA. 6090, Dec 15 at 0344, like 21 hours earlier, Anguilla is missing
(stuck on non-propagating day frequency 11775? Or just off the air), so instead
we can hear Horn of Africa music; and no het either like after 0600 from
off-frequency Nigeria and/or Brasil. 0352 starts talking in presumed Amharic,
but signal is weakening vs QRM; 0400 reverbed announcement, ululations.
Presumed Amhara State Radio, as in EiBi at 0255-0600, which strangely enough is
missing from Aoki, and naturally missing from HFCC. WRTH 2011 says 100 kW, site
is Geja, and this Amhara State Regional Radio is in Bahir Dar (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 9425, AIR National Channel from Bangaluru, Dec 15 at 1424 has good
signal and modulation in Hindi, but // 9470 from Aligarh is JBM (just barely
modulated) as I can tell on weaker signal, despite splash from 9479 WTWW. I
listen for the 5-minute English newscast at 1430: soon after it starts there is
a semiminute of dead air where apparently a clip of the Chief Minister was
supposed to go, then about Indian-Russian co?peration; food inflation in India
is at a 4-year low. Caster speaks too rapidly but fortunately with good dixion;
can`t decide if the voice is M or F, androgyny being ideal to appeal to all
audiences. 1435 back into Hindi, music and talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDONESIA [and non]. 9526-, Dec 15 at 1425, VOI poor signal with low
modulation apparently in Indonesian; the 9530 Chinese radio war ends at 1400,
making the 13-14 English useless, not audible in months, but now VOI is so low
that splash from 9520 RVA Philippines in Tamil is bothersome (but would end at
1427).
9680, meanwhile, Dec 15 at 1426, RRI domestic relay has much better signal and
modulation during gamelan, but heavy CCI from Taiwan/China; also one of the
QRMing stations is putting talking clix on 9680, as well as spikes on 9675 and
9685 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN [and non]. 7200, Dec 15 at 0333, V. of Justice with Qur`an as always in
the first few minutes of VIRI transmissions, atop CCI presumably Sudan which
was here first on this bandedge frequency making SAH of about 4 Hz; // 7365 is
stronger with Qur`an, but much heavier interference from the Cuban-American
radio war; while if VIRI really tried, they could find two clear frequencies
this hour on the 7 MHz band, but don`t expect any improvement before A-12. 0335
English translation of Qur`an, 0336 YL with program summary, V. of Justice ID,
0337 hokey news theme by military band, more modern news sounder, and finally,
news. Too much QRM to try to listen any further. 0424 recheck, 7200 still with
CCI, and 7365 still under the DentroCuban Jamming Command, and Radio Mart?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 6135, Thursday Dec 15 at 1331, Shiokaze is opening in
Japanese; besides nearby bonker in the background, some Juche noise jamming
too, not audible here until today, so it`s about time for Sea Breeze to jump
frequency again, maybe back to 5910 or 5985; 6015 and 6140 other alternatives
registered by JIC MIC in HFCC from Yamata, JAPAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH [and non]. 4450, Dec 15 at 1325 YL singing, with buzz jamming,
// 3480 where no jamming audible, but local noise level remains hi. Am lucky to
pull anything thru it on either: V. of the People, clandestine from South to
North (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 17530, Dec 15 at 1342, // slightly weaker 15460, RRI with folk
music, German announcements. Despite VG signals and modulation levels, there is
something amiss with sort of a ringing sound artifact, especially noticeable on
the sidebands of each, evidently a defect in the studio-transmitter-link
program feed to Tiganeshti (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9460, Dec 15 at 1420 I can barely make out the
unmistakable rasp of Brother Scare on weak signal amid QRM; HFCC shows 100 kW,
300 degrees via Wertachtal, GERMANY at 14-16, altho TOM`s own schedule claims:
``UK 9460 Europe 10 Am-11 am Daily``.
17580, Dec 15 at 1509 there is BS again, better signal here, strangely running
one second ahead of // 9385 WWRB. HFCC shows this as 14-16, 100 kW, 165 degrees
plus another 100 kW at 180 degrees, both from Wertachtal, while TOM sked
claims: ``EUROPE 17580 Europe 11 Am-Noon Daily``. The 165 transmission is noted
``afly`` in HFCC, while the 180 is ``342``, whatever those mean (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN. 7580, Dec 15 at 1320, YL with 8 tonal syllables, separated by
pauses. Aoki shows it`s XingXing guanbgo diantai with ``random numbers`` at
1300-1330 in H3E mode, 10 kW nondirexional from Kuanyin site; other half-hour
broadcasts from same at 0500, 0600, and 1200. All these miss colliding with
VOK`s Japanese service at 0700-1250, except the one at 1200. XingXing means
StarStar. If the numbers are really random, the whole thing is pointless,
disinformation. More likely they are not random, coded with some hidden
significance.
Aoki also shows the 07 and 08 broadcasts are on 7688; at 02 and 03 on 9557; at
04 on 9570; at 09 and 1330 on 7553. H3E means single sideband, full carrier,
but which? I did not notice one side was missing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 6890, Dec 15 at 0422, RTI via WYFR is in Chinese, not
scheduled Spanish, and is // much stronger 6875, another long-running screwup
in relay scheduling, as apparently they can only feed one language at a time
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1595 monitoring: Dec 15 at 0500 check, 9955 is nothing
but jamming, so it`s safe to assume that the first airing of WOR, on WRMI at
0430 UT Thursday, was also inaudible. Tnx a lot, Arnie! Further WRMI SW
broadcasts are: Fri 0600, Sat 0900, 1600, 1830, Sun 0900, 1630, 1830, Mon 1230,
plus many more webcasts.
On WTWW: Thursday 2200 on 9479, UT Sunday 0500 on 5755
On WBCQ: Thursday 2230 on 7490
On WWRB: UT Friday 0430v on 3195, 5050
On HLR: Tuesday 1030 on 5980
Also on WRN via SiriusXM 120 to NAm: Sat & Sun 1830, Sun 0930
Full schedule at http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11520, Dec 15 at 0503, WEWN English is the strongest signal on band
(SSOB), and enough to bring with it the squeal and spur field peaking plus and
minus 9 kHz; Second SSOB was its Spanish on 11870 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

Dear FRS Friends,
I N V I T A T I O N
Following successful December broadcasts in the past few years (but also
long time ago), FRS-Holland will again take to the airwaves over
the X-Mas Holiday Season.
December 18th we will continue a long time tradition. On that day FRSH will
be on 7600//5800 kHz between 07:52- 14:00 CET.
After close down, the full programming will be repeated via the internet
between 15:52- 22:00 CET: < http://nednl.net:8000/frsh.m3u
<http://nednl.net:8000/frsh.m3u> >.
Pxs will be presented by Jan van Dijk doing the German show & Dave Scott
will be playing classic rock. Both shows contain radio related
items. Paul Graham will be hosting another classic FRS Golden Show playing
great 60s/ 70s stuff as well as a feature on a land based pirate
radio station from years gone by. Peter Verbruggen will look back to what
happened in the past on December 18th (Day Calendar) and plays a
mix of 80s/90s/00s records in FRS Magazine. He will also host two FRS Goes
DX editions with the latest news from the wonderful world of wireless.
During all pxs we will read out October mail and Season's Greetings. There's
also the Phrase that Pays. And: we make a flash back to December 1988
when FRS-Holland was on the air with a Seasonal broadcast. Remeniscing....23
years ago.....
Tune in next Sunday and taste the spirit of December!! It will be worth
while.
