Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** BRAZIL. 11815.0, July 12 at 0126, obviously R. Brasil Central, but presumed
as no ID heard, typical frenetic phony hyper-enthusiasm in Brazilian accent,
unsure if covering a game or not, as only poor signal but right on frequency.
Slightly better past 0200 with numbers, probably telephones rather than scores
as they were multi-digit (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 6160.88, July 12 before and after 0530, big het between one of the
Canadians on 6160.0 and what must be the other one shifted way off-frequency,
making an A-pitch slightly wavering tone. Higher one is stronger, just a woman
speaking and seems to be in English. Next check at 1221, no carrier audible on
6160.88, but a very weak one on 6160.0, so that points to CKZU Vancouver still
in darkness, making 6160.88 CKZN Newfoundland way into the dayside. Check
tonight to confirm if this still be the case (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CANADA [non?]. 9625, July 12 at 1226, JBA carrier while Sackville 9650 with
KBS World Radio has fair to good signal. Is anyone still hearing the CBC NQ
service? It was supposedly going to last a while longer, but I`m not confirming
it since the June 24 cuts. Signal was never very strong here way off-beam, but
hi-latitude propagation has been quite degraded lately.
Wolfgang B?schel was hearing a ``sermon`` in English at 0350 July 11 on exactly
9625.000, while the CBCNQ transmitter used to be considerably off-frequency.
Perhaps if still running, Sackville switched to a different transmitter among
the many idle ones now. Nothing else is scheduled on 9625 at that hour, tho RCI
hardly protected 9625 from CCI elsewhen. At 12-13 M-F it could be a remnant of
Channel Africa in Nyanja that I detect, lacking CBCNQ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHILE. Re my penultimate report: ``BTW, the real site is Calera de Tango,
CHILE, which is 92 km NNW of Santiago, as per this handy website to find
distances between cities by name without messing with exact coordinates:
http://www.distancefromto.net/
which also displays miles, and path between them on a Google map.``
My point was that it`s not really from Santiago, but seems this thing is not so
accurate after all; GIGO. Wolfgang B?schel says:
``Google Earth/Maps shows total different distances. Former Pinochet Radio
Nacional HARRIS transmitter site, now CVC relay, also CBC [?] is 27 kilometers
away "southwestwards" of Santiago downtown instead,
on total rural farmland. 92 km distance issue is total faulty. Also formerly
CHL-CB114 Radio Nacional, Camino Loreto, Calera de Tango,
Regi?n Metropolitana, 1140 kHz 75/50 kW
on same area 33?38'35.70"S 70?51'01.25"W
http://goo.gl/maps/Z9lE
73 wolfy``
Wolfy, Some database has Calera de Tango at less than 33 south, i.e. north of
Stgo, and further west too. This may explain it. I don`t doubt your location as
I too find CdT to the SW of Stgo in Maipo province, which would be 33+ south.
For example,
Wikipedia shows for Calera de Tango:
Coordinates (commune): 32?47?12?S 71?11?50?W
Country Chile
Region Santiago Metro
Province Maipo
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake July 12 before 1300 in continuing degraded propagation
conditions, especially on higher bands, just:
11500, very poor at 1230
16100, good at 1237
16980, JBA at 1239; none in the 12s, 13s, 14s, 15s, 17s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COLOMBIA. 14950+, July 12 at 0523 check, Salem Stereo music is peaking at
S9+5. At 1540 check, a JBA carrier, better than 12140 where I sought the Tamil
Tigers clandestine, hearing nothing but CODAR.
BTW, maybe S.S. should rethink their slogan if they are going to keep
broadcasting on mono shortwave only! (Is the stream in stereo? I have not
noticed.) Since they were once a licensed FM on 106.5, what was the callsign?
One would have to find an expired official government list, as I already
checked the current one and found it absent. One would also like to know why
they lost their license.
Googling is not productive, except I found this page of an announcer at Salem
Stereo, YL with stylish wrap-around shades and hanging cornrows; the one who
gives time chex?:
https://profiles.google.com/116083705027750392630/about
What a name! JHAMILETH ORTIZ YATE --- Probably unique in the universe; another
example of the strange JH digraph (like ``Jhon``) which would seem to be
forbidden in Spanish, but rampant in Rioblanco (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 9305, July 12 at 0258, huge propeller-roar buzz and just traces of
Arabic modulation from R. Cairo, usual situation for this totally useless
transmission registered for a full semiday, 19-07 UT from Abis site, 250 kW,
315 degrees toward Europe and North America.
9315, next to it July 12 at 0258 is an open carrier, maybe just barely
modulated for the so-called English service of R. Cairo, 0200-0330 (following
0045-0200 Spanish), 250 kW, 330 degrees from Abu Zabaal to C&W NAm --- so both
sites are totally dysfunxional.
At the top of the ERTU A-12 schedule in HFCC,
http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A12&broadc=ERU
9720 is shown as an alternate/duplicate frequency, same parameters as 9315, and
same full-A-12 date span, but DX Mix News, Bulgaria, says 9720 has replaced
9315 or will do so along with changes in other English broadcasts starting July
18.
As yet, there is nothing to be heard on 9720. There is certainly nothing wrong
with 9315 as a frequency except for R. Cairo`s own total incompetence in
modulating it, a minimal requirement for there to be any reason whatsoever for
emitting a signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. A bit of area tropo enhancement visiblizes a weak analog signal on
ch A19 with antenna toward OKC, while 48 Estrella TV is quite viewable. 19 not
strong enough to lock in video, and audio remains JBA. But this means KUOT-CA
ch 19 still has not cut to DTV for which they have a CP, and judging from its
feebility, is still 23.7 kW rather than CP for 150. W9WI.com shows affiliation
is COR = Cornerstone, tho last I saw it was GCN; maybe both, or one
gospel-huxtering minor network is a subsidiary of the other (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [and non]. 15160, July 12 at 0122, almost equal mix of REE in Spanish,
slightly stronger than RA in English // 19000. A totally unnecessary collision
with lots of open frequencies in the 19m band at this hour. RA is still
boycotting HFCC, which shows only Noblejas at 23-05, 242 degrees to S America,
but that`s a typical over-registration, not really on air for six hours.
Aoki includes RA at 01-05, 65 degrees from Shepparton USward past the Pacific,
and REE at 23-02 only, so only this one hour overlap. Both also have CRI via
Jinhua-Youbu site, 59 degrees USward in Chinese at 0100-0457, but unheard.
11880 via COSTA RICA, Thursday July 12 at 1232:45, REE goes into Basque right
after ID as ``la emisora global en castellano``; so Basque is back, unlike some
weekdays missing without explanation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1625. First airing should have been 0330 UT Thursday
July 12 on WRMI 9955, unchecked, as always jammed. Tnx a lot, Arnie! WRMI
repeats are: Sat 0800, 1500, 1730, Sun 0800, 1530, 1730, Mon 0500, 1130. Also:
Thu 2100 on WTWW 9479
UT Fri 0330v on WWRB 5050
UT Sat 0130v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB
UT Sat 0630 on HLR 7265 [unconfirmed but has been past two weeks]
UT Sun 0400 on WTWW 5755
Tue 0930 on HLR 5980
Also on WRN via SiriusXM channel 120: Sat & Sun 1730, Sun 0830
Note: in the item about the west coast pirate on 6925-USB, I neglected to
mention its name: Blue Ocean Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7506+, July 12 at 0253 check, WRNO Worldwide is managing to modulate
again instead of dead air the last few nights, preaching in progress. I compare
the het pitches produced on the YB-400 by tuning BFO to 7506.0 and 7507.0.
Below 7507, it`s close to E-flat above hi C, and above 7506 it`s right on F
above middle C from my keyboard (whose calibration has not been confirmed). Per
the equal-tempered scale based on A = 440 at
http://www.phy.mtu.edu/~suits/notefreqs.html
the carrier is 349 Hz above 7506, and 622 Hz below 7507, so with margin of
error it`s somewhere between 7506.35 and 7506.38. Such an exercise is a lot
more fun than axually listening to the gospel huxter; tnx, WRNO for
possiblizing this by your illegal beyond-tolerance off-frequency operation
subject to FCC notice of violation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

NIGHT OF NIGHTS XIII - SAVE THE DATE
12 July 1999 was a sad day for many of us. We knew it was coming but when the
end finally arrived is was a shock. I was there. It was the supposed last day
of Morse code. The final sign off took place at a remote station on the Pacific
coast. Women attending the event were dressed as if at a funeral. Grizzled,
hard bitten old men, the kind you wouldn't mess with in a bar room, had tears
in their eyes as the last messages was keyed out to the world at 0000 gmt. And
then there was silence. It was just beeps in the air. But that's how much Morse
code means to the men and women who made the profession of radiotelegrapher one
of honor and skill.
But the prediction of the death of Morse code was not to be fulfilled. On that
day the Maritime Radio Historical Society was born. On that day we began plans
to restore a Morse code radio station - the famous KPH. One year later we held
the first "Night of Nights" when not only KPH but other coast stations appeared
once again on the air. Every year since we have commemorated that date by
returning these stations to the air and thereby, we hope, honoring the men and
women who came before us.
Join us this year for Night of Nights XIII. See and hear a real Morse code
coast station in full song. Mingle with the pioneers who werethe men and women
of the airwaves.
Or, if you can't join us in person, join us on the air. KSM and, we hope, KPH
and KFS will be in action (to be confirmed - watch our Web site for updates).
K6KPH will be open to calls from amateur stations.
When: 12 July 2012 - Doors open at 3:00 pm [PDT], first transmission at 5:01pm
(0001 gmt July 13)
