Some updates/correxions: Vatican already moved to 17510:
** PAKISTAN. 17520, Oct 19 at 1406, S Asian music, very distorted with big hum, and carrier is unstable. Therefore I conclude that it is really R. Pakistan, HFCC scheduled 1330-1530 in Urdu, maybe English at the end? 250 kW, 282 degrees from Islamabad, one of two SW transmitters still (mal)funxioning and not really closed down as predicted. From 1410, Vatican via Madagascar, also in Urdu was scheduled on 17520, but finally moved August 27 to 17510. What coordination! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) it`s, not its (while I am at it): ** PAKISTAN [non]. 15725, Oct 19 at 1419, very poor signal partly in English about Iran, but those are clips voiced-over into some other language. Aoki shows it`s VOA`s Radio Aap ki Dunyaa service in Urdu, 78 degrees from KUWAIT at 14-15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Time was omitted, now inserted: ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 15420-CUSB, it`s the Sabbath, Oct 19, so WBCQ is on early at 1402 with Brother Scare --- but he`s way under BBC Somali via CYPRUS. Furthermore, WBCQ is off-frequency, so not only is there CCI, but a het and makes the organ music sound off-key (not that they need much help to accomplish that). What coordination! What coordination? Apparently someone cannot believe that a signal southward from Cyprus could be much stronger than WBCQ on the beam to its own target area. O, never mind. Who wants to listen to BS, anyway? He could be heard a bit better on IRRS via Romania(?) 15215, not on alleged Armenian frequency 11800, with strong CNR1 on 11805, and didn`t even bother to try the other US stations or Germany (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
