** BANGLADESH. 15505, Sept 9 at 1359-1401, nothing audible from Bangladesh
Betar, supposedly in Urdu at 1400. Plenty of other signals on the band today,
including VOR on 15510 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Sept 9, before 1400:
17250, very poor at 1338
16920, fair at 1338
15605, fair at 1338
15490, fair at 1339, het on lo side
14960, very poor at 1340
14700, good at 1339
13920, poor at 1340
12980, good at 1342
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 9855, Sept 9 at 1348, rustic singing reminiscent of Hmong hmusic,
from the defunct Hmong Lao Radio via WHRI during this hour on Sundays; but
turns out to be only CRI in Chinese at 12-14 from Beijing 572 site. Presumably
hiliting some minority in China (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6000, Sept 9 at 0429, RHC English is just barely modulated, much
softer than // 6050 fully modulated. 6000 is just like 6125 sounds after 0500
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, Sept 9 at 1347, no signal again today from VOI. Atsunori
Ishida shows nothing on Sept 8 or 9 except for a carrier at 0940-0949 on Sept 8
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRELAND [non]. 17685, Sept 9 at 1344, JBA carrier, gaining a bit at 1345 to
audiblize urgent speech, obviously something important like RTE`s annual GAA
All-Ireland Hurling Final broadcast. Also on 17540, very poor. These two and
7505 are scheduled from 13 to 16 UT, except 17540 switches to 11915 for the
final hour. Details:
http://www.rte.ie/sport/features/gaa/2012/0904/336266-worldwide-all-ireland-finals-coverage-on-rte-radio/
Sites not given, but all for parts of Africa from within or nearby the
continent. They`ll be back in a fortnight at the same hours for the All-Ireland
Football Final on Sunday 23 September (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1050, Sept 9 at 1217 UT, promo for a f?tbol show lunes a las 2 de la
tarde ``aqu? en la radio de tu California``, and XED mentioned a bit later.
I.e. Mexicali BCN. Cant? lists as a 10 kW daytimer, (same as XEBCS in La Paz),
but IRCA has XED at 10/1 kW, 24 hours, and WRTH 2012 shows it as 10 kW
fulltime. Which of these three is correct? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Updates on DTV subchannels:
RF 31, KXOK 31.2, Enid with Mundo Fox, which was originally lo-quality video
and in squeeze-o-vision, as of Sept 8 check has been upgraded to hi quality,
and the aspect ratio can now be changed (unlike TV OK itself on 31.1). The
MundoFox website still overlooks any affiliate in Enid in the drop-down
find-your-station list. I`ll bet most SS in Enid still don`t know about it. I
only found it by happenstance.
RF 33, KOCB 34.2, OKC, still lacking TheCoolTV music videos. I`ve heard from
people in two other cities where it also disappeared at end of August, perhaps
due to financial problems. The Cool TV website still lists KOCB (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1633 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday Sept 9 at 0400 on
WTWW 5755. Started a few sex before 0400, then interrupted for canned ID. That
fit just between the program number and the enumeration of countries to be
covered.
Further airings on WRMI 9955: Sunday 1530, 1730, Monday 0500, 1130.
On Hamburger Lokalradio 5980: Tuesday 0930
On WRN via SiriusXM 120: Sunday 1730
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9980, Sept 9 at 1349, WWCR-4 is already on contrary to own schedule
starting at 1400 Sat & Sun (1600 M-F), with `Creation Moment`, the mini-show
which twists science to support its own conclusion that the Earth & everything
are only a few thousand years old. How asinine! Yet it`s a staple of this and
other gospel-huxter stations. The numbskull has a British accent so he must be
authoritative (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN. 17590, Sept 9 at 1256 classical vocal music, poor signal, then
Chinese announcement. Not heard after 1300, but HFCC shows VR in Chinese at
1225-1315, 500 kW, 65 degrees from SMG (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11995, Sept 9 at 0427, the mystery open carrier with some hum is
on, among the earliest times I have caught it. Has also lasted past 0600 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

No sign of R. 6150 on 6070. CFRB was on 6069.96 and there was another signal

Fairly strong but horribly distorted 'rumbling' audio. Looked like there were
multiple carriers on the signal. Could see at least 5 distinct peaks. Also
noticed most of the distortion was in the lower side. In USB with the PSB
shifted
away from the carrier, it was almost readable. (9 Sept.)

Subject: [HCDX] QSL Report for Al Muick
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
DENMARK, DR Radio, Kalundborg, 243, f/d letter in 280 days for English
report via airmail + 1 IRC return postage and follow-up via email to
drkommunikation(at)dr(dot)dk. QSL letter arrived 9 days after email
follow-up. V/s Luciano Glar-Zabeo, Customer Advisor, Danish
Broadcasting Corporation, teknikinfo(at)dr(dot)dk. Luciano also sent a
very nice DR orchestra postcard which would have made a great QSL card.
My report was miniaturized and placed in his letter and he confirmed
it. Either way, it's win.
I wish I could have a shot at the upcoming DRM test from Danmarks Radio,
but I fear it's too early in the season. Perhaps via a remote receiver.
In other news, I received a returned piece of mail addressed to Radio
Republica (Cuban clandestine via WRMI) sent on October 3rd of 2011. It
was finally returned from Miami on August 24th 2012! Where the hell has
this letter been for 10 months and three weeks?! Another anomaly of the
US Post Office. Thankfully, I QSL'ed these guys through WRMI on their
test transmission last year.
