Sporadic E analog TVDX, UT July 7: 0123 on 2, something fades in with CCI, antenna still S for earlier Mexican opening, but this peaks northward, drama. Can`t see any bugs in corners, but remains weak 0243 on 2, think I spot a Mexican net-7 bug in UR, so rotate S, but by then no signal, back to N where whatever it is peaks 0300 on 2, Global opening Prime News, presumably CKND-2 Minnedosa, Manitoba, altho peak seemed a bit west of due north (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. Firedrake July 7, before 1200: 11500, very poor at 1147; never any in the 10s 12980, very poor at 1147 13920, poor at 1144 14700, poor at 1144 16920, very poor at 1144 tho 15 MHz virtually dead. On BFO compared to 13920 and found the two did not match exactly, slightly offset pitches Before and after 1300: 14700, fair at 1233 15445, poor until 1230* 15485, very poor at 1304 15545, poor at 1233, ex-15445? 15555, very poor at 1304 Before 1400: 17450, poor at 1346 16980, JBA at 1346 16100, JBA at 1346 15760, very poor at 1347 14700, poor at 1347; none in the 13s, 12s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** COLOMBIA. 14950.75, July 6 at 1640, JBA carrier audible no doubt from Salem Stereo, which appears to be running 24 hours now. But reception peaks in the evening here: UT July 7 at 0128, poor with song about verg?enza, better at 0449 with gospel ranchera. Could not hear it in the 11-14 UT period (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [and non]. 9805, July 7 at 1140, R. Mart? is playing song ``A Summer Place``, atop heavy wall-of-noise jamming. What absurdity, RM broadcasting such innocuous programming, and Cuba must jam it anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ECUADOR [non]. 11920, July 6 at 2300, monitored HCJB relay opening in Portuguese, and this time did not hear Guiana Francesa mentioned. Reception was poor, however, and not sure they did mention Alemanha instead, but should have belatedly corrected their claim of true site. One more chance to check on Saturday July 7 before this transmission is scheduled to revert to CHILE for the rest of July and then have to quit there permanently. So will they have concluded that Wertachtal will suffice? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. Up early enough July 7 for some sunrise skip again: 650, July 7 at 1118, jingle amid music for ``Los Mochis --- 106.5``, i.e. XETNT, a.k.a. Radio 65, a regular here on SRS. 660, July 7 at 1120, IFE PSA, ``102.9, la que soprende`` (surprises, not sure of last word). No, it must be this in a Cant? AM/FM match: 660 XEEY La Kaliente + FM 102.9 Aguascalientes, Ags. 50,000 10,000 770, July 7 at 1122, Los 40 Principales, then song ``El Sinaloense``, naming various towns in tribute to this lovely state. By 1127 ID for an FM station in Los Mochis, so it is: 770 XEREV Los 40 Principales + FM 104.3 Los Mochis, Sin. 5,000 100 I suspect it was on day power already, 50 times greater than at night 950, July 7 at 1105 as I tune by this frequency adjacent to local KGWA, I hear one word, ``Montemorelos``. Is there a 950 there? Yes! 950 XERN Radio Naranjera + FM 100.9 Montemorelos, N.L. 5,000 1,000 says Cant?. Chance are high, but not 100% that this was it. Fortunately I don`t have to decide whether to count it since I don`t count stations heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. Sporadic E analog TVDX the morning of July 6, initiated in previous report, continued thru the day, later building up to better level, but still no match for the blowout on July 4. UT: 1635 on 2, still weak CCI 1649 on 3, net-5 dramatic animation, // same audio weaker on 2 1650 on 5, signs of video and/or audio 1715 on 4, IFE PSA, post-elexion 1732 on 4, CCI, ads 1737 on 4, net-5 Daffy Duck & Bugs Bunny toon. When he speaks Spanish, Daffy doesn`t sppputtter like he does in English! Sufferin` succotash 1803 on 2, news of Tamaulipas, net-7 UR and LR with time & temp 1:04 33 C; also abottom: www.info7.mx --- that`s from Azteca Noreste, which I think originates in Monterrey NL, with this transmitter in Tampico, XHTAU, but does anything originate there? 1832 on 5, the adults-as-kids-with-funny-hats studio sitcom 1844 on 5, evil-penguins toon 1845 on 4, news from net-4, f bug in LR, various federal officials speaking live, Secretario de Econom?a Bruno Ferrari at first 1845-1955, CCI on 2-6 continues without much attention from me 1955 on 6, local news from Aguascalientes TV, distinctive 6 bug UL 2007 on 90.3, checking caradio before pulling out of garage, Spanish briefly here overriding OK station, mentions Secretar?a de Educaci?n P?blica, then fades allowing us to hear *commercial* for High Plains Pizza Hut on KHYM relay. No XHs on 88.1 at this time. The caradio has better selectivity than the DX-398 2047 on 2-5, CCI, including net-7 on 2, now with a drama 2204 on 2, +tv bug in UR, i.e. MasTV = XEWO-TV Guadalajara, Jal.; weak and also bits of something on 4, maybe also Guadalajara (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NIGERIA. 15120, July 7 at 0452, native instruments cut off and on and off and on, then open carrier, no doubt V. of Nigeria runup in another frustrating attempt to stay on the air for the 05-07 English, not checked later. Why don`t they use their brand-new transmitter which is capable of AM as well as DRM? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 15590, July 6 at 1640 check, no signal from WRNO, nor was any expected, but this is their registered daytime frequency for 14-01, while 7505 is available 22-16; also 7355 at 23-04, per FCC A-12 schedule at http://transition.fcc.gov/ib/sand/neg/hf_web/A12FCC01.TXT which has still not been updated with a second edition by changing the last 1 to 2, as in most seasons by now. Following night did not get around to checking 7506.36 until 0343 July 7, nothing there. Steve Luce in TX heard them come on at 0100, but off after only 15 seconds and nothing further. Still not quite ready for full service! 7506v was the only frequency used during their previous activity, which we did hear longer the night before (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1624 monitoring: on WBCQ 5110-minus-CUSB, UT Saturday July 7 at 0130, previous program is running over, some put-on SF drama, closing seemed to be ``Jade in Space``, one of the voices sounding like Janice Laws, of the `International Radio Report` and `Juliet`s Wild Kingdom`. Not on the Area 51 schedule at this time on this date, filling between `AWWW` and WOR, which started segu? at 0135. Sufficient reception but better on the webcast. Further airings of WOR: on WRMI 9955, Sat 1730, Sun 0800, 1530, 1730, Mon 0500, 1130; on WTWW 5755, UT Sunday 0400. On WRN via SiriusXM 120, Sat & Sun 1730, Sun 0830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 1350, July 7 at 1202, CBS news, fade-out by 1204. Per NRC AM Log, the two likeliest around here are KMAN Manhattan KS and KRNT Des Moines IA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 1480, July 7 at 1109 UT and next few minutes, open carrier. The revived 1480 in Dallas, KBXD was supposed to be about ready to go by now, so maybe they are testing; otherwise, KQAM Wichita defaulting to dead air (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 6230-SSB, July 7 at 1200, boaters in personal 2-way conversation, ``come-back``, probably along Gulf coast, atop noise jamming from North Korea (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Sat, 7 Jul 2012 16:54:58 +0000 From: Mikhail Timofeyev <timofe...@sp.ru> To: dxplo...@yahoogroups.com Cc: HCDX DX <hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com> Subject: [HCDX] July 6-7 logs Message-ID: <3a6cd0a9-9623-4c0b-b460-c72315704...@sp.ru> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed; delsp=yes 5895L 1828-1848 S R.Northern Star via R.Nord Revival, Sala, 06/07, English, non stop pop songs, ID jingles - almost good with slight local noise 6035 2134-2150 BTN Bhutan BS, Thimphu, 06/07, non stop local songs - fair-almost good with local noise only, // http://www.bbs.bt/news/?page_id=9126# 6070 2214-2240 D Radio 6150, Rohrbach, 06/07, English, OM talks, a lot of pop songs - poor-fair without any QRM from other stations 6524.94v 2310-2335'43* HOL Radio Mustang (pirate), 06/07, English, OM talks, special announcement in English and Russian about 2012 free radio meeting on July 13-15 somewhere in Holland, pop songs - almost good with slight local noise 11710.8 0005-0020 ARG Radiodifusi?n Argentina al Exterior, Buenos Aires, 07/07, Portuguse, YL talks, Argentine music and then news bulletin - good with slight fading and local noise 6134.83 0050-0135 BOL Radio Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, 07/07, Spanish, OM/ YL talks, Bolivian songs - poor-fair with heterodyne and local noise 5980 0742-0802 FIN Scandinavian Weekend Radio, Virrat, 07/07, Finninsh/ English, OM/YL talks, Finnish pop songs - fair and better with fading and local noise (in AM SYNC with 6 kHz bandwidth), also at 0834 already on 6170 with poor-fair signal 73!
