** ALBANIA. 9590, Oct 3 at 0505, CRI Arabic relay is again quite distorted, but
// 9515 also from C?rrik is not. So can`t be blamed on the satellite feed.
Wolfgang B?schel has tried to notify the Chinese engineers about this problem
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ALGERIA [non]. 7295, Oct 3 at 0359 standing by for RTA relay via Issoudun,
FRANCE to start, but no signal. *0400 just in time for tinny military band,
with NA? If so, certainly one of the least impressive, then ``Huna al-Djazer``
ID, drumming and proclaiming, 0402 into relatively lo-key talk; by 0413 it`s in
Qur`an. Usual break for antenna change at 0458. 0507 check, more Qur`an. So
this relay reactivated Oct 1 has continued for three days, and the evening
broadcasts have also been confirmed by EurAfricans. Are they here to stay this
time? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BANGLADESH. 15105, Oct 3 at 1258, Bengali music, so I missed most of 1230
English. Nepali 1315-1345 still missing, no signal at 1334.
15595, Oct 3 at 1358, BB IS is playing, good signal, one of the best so far
from them, as the transpolar path is working well. 1400 timesignal only 3 sex
late, opening Urdu, news; 1416 check, by now with vocal music (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 1610, Oct 3 at 0616 UT, Spanish briefly overcomes the 1600 KATZIBOC
long enough to hear a 416-area code phonumber, i.e. Toronto`s CHHA, 6250 watts
day and night, a figure apparently computed as sufficient to overcome Montreal
in the local area. Soon faded back into the noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 3, before 1300:
12320, very good at 1257; none in the 13s
14800, very good at 1258
15555, good at 1258, and this one only stays on past 1302+
16250, fair at 1259
17370, poor at 1259; ran out of time before checking 18+ MHz
Circa 1330:
12670, good at 1335
13130, very poor at 1333
14800, fair at 1330
15485, good at 1328, het on hi side
15610, fair at 1238
15900, poor at 1328
16100, fair at 1330
16920, very good at 1330
After 1400:
12230, very good at 1425
14700, poor at 1422
17370, very good at 1420; none in the 16s, 18s
17565, good at 1420, CCI with V. of Tibet`s Madagascar frequency of the moment;
plus and minus 5 also available for abrupt jumps
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUIANA FRENCH. 11995 carrier with hum is still going, Oct 3 at 0350, 0503.
Rather poor signal tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. 7245, Oct 3 at 0507 still no IGIM. Is anyone hearing this at any
time any more? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 680, Oct 3 at 1220 UT, Pollo Loco ad, string of PSAs, ads, some
mentioning Sinaloa, 1222 fading. So it is per Cant?:
680 XEORO La Mera Jefa + FM 93.7 Guasave, Sin. 1,000 500
And Pollo Loco exists in Mexico too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 710, Oct 3 at 0555, XE NA is already playing, then ``Soy Soldado``
super-militaristic recitation, and 0558 Chihuahua anthem, so obviously XEDP, La
Ranchera de Cuauht?moc, usual dominant signal with 100 watts at night? Yeah,
sure. However at 0606, open carrier/dead air allowing KCMO to be heard
underneath (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 750, Oct 3 at 0559 UT, soft rock in English, dominating
channel, where`s WSB? I don`t even have to null it. Then full ToH ID for XHCSI
on FM 89.5 and XECSI on 750, ?xtasis Digital, m?sica en ingl?s, Sinaloa,
Radiorama. Then NA at 0602, which was in Spanish (hmm, I wonder if anyone has
ever recorded an English version? North Americans might be shocked by the
warmongering anti-American lyrix, but then what about the SSB? ``Dime, ?puedes
ver por la luz de la alborada, lo que alabamos tan orgullosamente?``). Anyhow,
good work for only 250 watts if we believe:
750 XECSI ?xtasis Digital + FM 89.5 Culiac?n, Sin. 5,000 250, says
http://www.mexicoradiotv.com/frec_am.htm
0605, WSB starts to fade back in
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 760, Oct 3 at 1223 UT, dominant signal with Chihuahua news about
quejas, i.e.:
760 XEES Antena + FM 102.5 Chihuahua, Chih. 10,000 1,000
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 770, Oct 3 at 1223 UT, Dominos.com.mx ad where anyone can dine for
only 42 pesos; IFE PSA; copa playstation ad; government PSA for the 62nd
legislatura at the C?mara de Diputados and the wonderful things it will
accomplish; 1226 ``40 Principales`` jingle, IFE PSA, FM & AM ID but hard to
copy with reverb, music, ad for Institute of American English en Sinaloa; 1228
another PSA about Sinaloa. So it`s:
770 XEREV Los 40 Principales + FM 104.3 Los Mochis, Sin. 5,000 100
Per Cant?.
You may wonder why I get so many Sinaloa stations in Oclajoma? I suppose the
skip distance is favorable, round about one kilomile, and the direxion to the
SW rather isolates them from much of the US and rest of Mexico, especially
helpful for sunrise skip.
Distance is also ideal for sporadic-E on VHF TV, but Grupo Pac?fico on 2 and 3
already has DTV duplicates on UHF, so analog may not last much longer (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1180, Oct 3 at 0536 UT with the Cuban pileup nulled, I hear some
weak Spanish music. The only two XEs to the SW in Cant? are:
1180 XEUBS Radio UABCS La Paz, B.C.S. 10,000 D
1180 XEJK Ke buena + FM 95.3 Cd. Delicias, Chih. 5,000 1,500
And only one of those should be on in the nightmiddle. But as usual, other
listings contradict Cant? which is presumably more recent. WRTH 2012 claims
XEUBS is 10 kW fulltime, and that the Delicias outlet is ``XEDCH, Rom?ntica
11-80``. The IRCA Log from last year also had XEDCH but 5/0.25 kW, and XEUBS
with night power of -1 which means it may be on at night with unknown power. My
money is on XEJK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 15120, Oct 3 at 0459, VON YL with program previews, fair signal,
the SSOB, and would be the OSOB except for a bit of R. Australia on 15515. 0500
ID from ``Lay-goss``, and news, improving signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 48, Oct 3 at 1434 UT, KOCY-LP OKC with Estrella TV comedy film is
almost snow-free, so I go looking for any other analogs (none), or DTVs. This
morning tropo enhancement visiblizes on:
RF36, PSIP 36-1 KUOK-CD OKC with Univisi?n, and even stays locked when I aim
north to check out Kansas. That`s on manual tuning to be sure I am really on
36. But entering 36 on the converter remaps to usual RF 29 KTUZ primarily
Telemundo but carrying same KUOK programming on a subchannel not designated
30-2 or 29-2, but 36-1. OKCitians could be watching either without knowing
which.
RF 46, 50 kW KOCM Norman with Daystar is still bad, not decoding, which is the
usual case now, yet it somehow merits carriage on Enid Suddenlink cable 95.
Whoopee! KXOK RF 31 Enid, with is RTV on main channel, and a couple months ago
added MundoFox on 31-2, now has added another subchannel full of steamy
novelas, Azteca America on 31-3 --- and it`s not in squeeze-o-vision, either.
All are now duplicated on the non-broadcast and weaker link transmitter on RF
32.
And as pre-publicized, RF 7, KOCO ``5`` OKC has replaced THIS on 5.2 with ME
TV, per promos tho I have not bothered to view it yet. Even my big VHF antenna
has trouble maintaining an undisrupted signal from KOCO which was foolish
enough to avoid UHF (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOMALILAND. 7120, Oct 3 at 0343, R. Hargeisa, brief announcement and HoA
music, fair signal at S9+10 without much storm noise for a change. 0354,
another brief announcement marred by CW QRhaM, with lots of dits, then a CQ.
0403 music still audible, weakening, and 0413 talk weakening further (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [and non]. 11880, Oct 3 at 1253, REE via CR again in Castilian, not
scheduled Basque, ``En 5 Minutos`` which is normally an evergreen filler when
new news is not available. Then REE promo ``Nuestras frecuencias hablan
espa?ol``, just to rub it in; N.B., Carlos, they do not call it ``castellano``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TUNISIA. 7275, Oct 3 at *0358 huge open carrier on and off, then cuts on IWT
music undermodulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 10000, Oct 3 at 1418, WWV robofem propagation report has distorted
over-modulation, but copied K index of 1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 7575, Oct 3 at 1242, VOA promo for presidential debate UT
Thu at 0100 on voanews.com, and (as an afterthought) ``also on shortwave
radio``! We can find voanews.com with no problem, but WTFK on SW? There are
likely to be special ones not normally in use, perhaps even from Greenville,
which VOA abolished long ago as a site for English to the Americas, except for
Spe-cial Eng-lish at 0130 weekdays. Those current frequencies could be a
starting point: 7465 and 9820. IIRC, four years ago, those VOA frequencies
rudely cut off before the debates were over at their normal time of 0200!
AND, surprisingly, REE Spain carried the debates live in translation; check
15160, 9620, 6055, 5995-CR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7506.4, Oct 3 at 0228 tune-in, WRNO closing `Maranatha Radio` program
from Maranatha Chapel in San Diego CA, as I can barely make out from the
extremely suppressed and distorted modulation. Brother Scare also exclaims
``Maranatha`` as he signs off; I`ll go with gotquestions.org: ``Maranatha is an
Aramaic word that means "the Lord is coming" or "come, O Lord"`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7555.0, Oct 3 at 0229, KJES with kID in Spanish, open carrier and off
at 0230*. VG signal, so still active for the 0100-0230 broadcast; not heard in
ages on 15385 at 1800-2000, but usually audible at 13-16 on 11715 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11550, Oct 3 at 1336 UT, still at 1358 and 1426, WEWN is dead
air/open carrier with VG signal, while the other Spanish frequency 12050 is
modulating normally. Wake up, Mother Ang?lica! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 820 et many al., WBAP`s `Red Eye Radio` is not so much pro-trucker as
it is anti-Obama, as it took only a minute of listening after 0606 UT Oct 3 to
tell. What do you expect, originating from Dallas where so many necks are also
red? Dear Mr President, please do not ever consider going on a motorcade there.
Or in Oklahoma (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VIETNAM [and non]. 13635, Oct 3 at 1423, siren jamming, or as wb calls it,
``howl buoy``, against nothing, but must be aimed at adjacent 13640 which I
suppose it could bother on some receivers, i.e. per Aoki, RFA Vietnamese via
SAIPAN at 14-15, which was separately audible. Axually, center of whoops may
have been closer to 13640, hard to pinpoint (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1030, Oct 3 at 0612 UT, presumed KCTA 50 kW daytime open carrier
with hum is still rampant. Did not notice it earlier in evening, but probably
then too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 1650, Oct 3 at 0524 UT, Spanish separable from Denver
Spanish to the NW, Univisi?n promo/ad, I think for a TV show rather than radio,
1-900 number and something about texting in Estados Unidos, ``16-50 AM ---
[algo] --- sin comerciales``, romantic music. More evidence that it is really
KSVE El Paso TX and not XEAZR Mexico City, since Univisi?n is an American, not
Mexican network. But still lacking a firm ID. Lucked into a fade by Iowa, which
soon regained dominance, and 0531 ID as ``1650, The Fan, KCNZ`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6925-SSB, Oct 3 at 0508 pirate with music, YL soul or gospel
song, strengthens; another one, and at 0517 change to opening of ``Also Sprach
Zarathustra``. No voice announcements, but that`s followed by long CW message,
starting with VVV VVV VVV, but not followed immediately by a DE, ID. Lasted
until 0521*. Recorded last part of it and may eventually transcribe (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15151.5-SSB, Oct 3 at 1417, 2-way INTRUDER in Spanish, het from
AM broadcaster on 15150 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
