** BANGLADESH. 15105, Bangladesh Betar, *1232:25-1300*,
Oct 27, carrier on prior to 1229 but no audio until 1232:25. Abrupt

** ALBANIA. 7425, Oct 28 at 0233 open carrier, dead air, no doubt R. Tirana,
one of many stations unable to coordinate a smooth transition from A- to
B-season scheduling. English to NAm for B-12 is at 0230 on 6100, but not there.
Instead they kept 7425 from A-12 on the air but moved it one hour later, and
there was no programming being fed from studio. Maybe that was still done at
0130, when I believe neither frequency was on the air (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** ALGERIA [non]. 5865, Oct 28 at 0511, Qur`an on RTA`s new/reactivated B-12
frequency via FRANCE, ex-9535; 7295 remains on air with non // Qur`an, from two
different networks (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRIA. 6155, Oct 28 at 0538, no signal from ?1, when we used to hear nice
classical music; now the only remaining transmission we can hear from Vienna
shifts one UT hour later to 0600-0715, too late this week until we`re back on
standard time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BANGLADESH. 15505, Oct 28 at 1356, hi-pitch tone and flutter and hum from BB
past 1400, no IS, and TS comes 69 seconds late! Then opening Urdu. Reset your
clox! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BONAIRE. 15265, Oct 27 at 2230, NHK Japanese relay is still going; would
this be the final broadcast from Bonaire? 2359 IDs and closing transmission, 3
pips of time signal until cut off at 2400* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) See also CANADA; JAPAN
** BRAZIL. 6180, Oct 28 at 0224, RNB missing again, so no ACI for BaBcoCk music
loop on 6175 or more varied music on XEPPM 6185 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CANADA. 6175, Oct 28 at 0224, BaBcoCk music fill loop playing continuously
on what had been the relay of Voice of Vietnam. So much for turning off
Sackville after A-12 is over! Transmitter is still on air, but program feed has
been removed. Continues all evening and even QSY to 9555 for more of same when
checked at 0459. Notice some tape snags (?) in the loop around 0522;
automatically off at 0529* after RCI IS & IDs. See also VIETNAM [non]; JAPAN
[non].
9625, Oct 28 at 0504, CBCNQ with CBC News in English, report from Windsor,
close enough to the World Series & Detroit Tigers. News ends at 0504:30, right
into YL in Inuktituk, apparent sign-off pronouncing address in English rather
than French, but no full sign-off in discarded English, followed at 0506 by
sign-off in French, to return at 6:55 am ET, ``bonne nuit``, 0507-0508* ``O,
Canada``. So was this the final final of CBCNQ and/or Sackville?
No, 9625 again heard, but very poor, Oct 28 at 1332 with `The Sunday Edition`
on plot to overthrow Mossadeq (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 5965, Oct 28 at 1235 Firedrake against nothing, but could not find
any usual FD frequency propagating 12-18 MHz to compare. At 1243, back on 5965,
now it`s in Korean, so it was NOT FD, but something within the CRI Korean
service now scheduled 11-15 vix Xi`an.
Firedrake Oct 28 after 1300:
15570, fair at 1313
15485, poor at 1313, het on hi side
12980, very poor at 1317
After 1400:
15570, poor at 1403
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 6030, 6045, 6085, 6125, 6150, 6175, 7295, 7310, 7365, 7385, 7445,
noted all these CNR1 frequencies with same music, and most of them as jammers,
Oct 28 at 1322-1325. Only 7385 had significant QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CROATIA [non]. 7375, Oct 28 at 0514, CRZ with Croatian rock music now
extending one hour later via GERMANY until 0600. HFCC shows that for B-12, site
has also changed from Wertachtal to 100 kW Nauen, viz.:
23-04 255 degrees to SAm
00-02 300 degrees to ENAm
02-04 315 degrees to CNAm
04-06 325 degrees to WNAm
So the overlaps with two transmitters are different now. English segment should
now be at 0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EUROPE. 15520-AM, Oct 28 at 1245, poor signal with some fadeups, electronic
music, and DJ talking over from time to time, with hotmail address; says he
will be returning a bit later today, but keeps going for now. 1250 hard-beat
music continues; DJ says ``we have to go``; 1251 ``got to go, closing down
after this``. 1253 acknowledges e-mail from Adolf in Austria, will answer him.
1254 ``You are listening to ?--- over Europe `` but again I can`t catch the ID!
1255 vocal music, 1257 finally: ``[email protected]`` and off at
1300*
Then I check Georgi Bancov`s Pirate Radio Weekend roster: Borderhunter is on
there, but not at this time or frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 7475 // stronger 9420, Oct 28 at 0514, VOG with Greek talk; the
Sunday Orthodox service will now be starting an UT hour later circa 0600 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA [and non]. 9526-, Oct 28 at 1330 not even a carrier where VOI
English had been active for a couple weeks; now if it comes back, has heavy ACI
from 9530 VOA Chinese via Philippines and jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 9710, Oct 28 at 0415 Oct 28, V. of Justice on new B-12 frequency to
NAm from 0330, fair here but very poor on // 11770 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. NHK B-12 transition from A-12 is a royal mess:
5960, Oct 28 at 0210 has NHK music, extremely strong. This was supposed to
switch from CANADA to GUIANA FRENCH, but has it? At 0221 there is a SAH and
some CCI but can`t tell from what. 5960 remains on air past 0400, which was the
old Sackville scheduling, while GUF in B-12 is only until 0400.
11935, Oct 28 at 0210, JBA carrier, surely not NHK as now scheduled via GUIANA
FRENCH instead of Bonaire; bothered even by runover Cuban jamming from 11930.
However, at 0231, NHK World Radio Japan, Tokyo IDs in English and Japanese, and
Sakura IS loop is playing over and over on 11935. Well, that`s a start. At 0239
still doing this, while 5960 is continuing with NHK programming.
11740, Oct 28 at 0459, NHK IS, only fair signal on GUF replacement for English
on 6110 via Sackville; sign on and starts news at 0501 with earthquake in Queen
Charlotte Islands, but at 0502:41 someone cuts the NHK feed from English to
Spanish!! Now the news is about an agreement with Mozambique over natural gas.
0508 still in Spanish; then I check 6195, which is almost synchronized with
11740, Spanish news about death of composer Hans-Werner Henze. 6195 is the new
relay via WHRI for NHK Spanish at 0500, (also at 0930), but NHK Spanish at 0400
on 6195 is via GUF, unchecked. While 11740 stays in wrong language Spanish, I
check 6110 and find bigsig from Sackville is still on! in English, item about
archery.
9770, Oct 28 at 0518, NHK English is also audible here, NF via FRANCE, ex-11970.
15190, Oct 28 at 1227, sufficient NHK English on NF via GUIANA FRENCH to
replace 6120 Sackville: I set the alarm to check this just in time. But 6120 is
also still on, at 1228 about one second ahead of 15190. HFCC B-12 has both 6120
and 15190 registered for GUF, but today 6120 must still be Sackville, slow to
QRT itself. Off at 1230* without any RCI IS/ID, however. During the final
minute at 1229, NHK announcer recites the entire NHK English schedule with new
B-12 frequencies, NOT including 6120 at 12, but adding 11730, (which is via
Uzbekistan).
11655, furthermore, supposed to end with A-12, is still on the air with NHK
Japanese via Sackville, Oct 28 at 1404.
11925 is very poor vs R. Mart? 11930, and 11695 is JBA at 1405, the new English
frequencies at 1400, via Palau and Uzbekistan respectively. See also BONAIRE,
CANADA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5985, Oct 28 at 1336, no signal from Shiokaze via JAPAN,
where it has been for a few weeks; maybe the poor signal on 5910 is its
alternate replacement; not on 6135 either, just bonking (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH [and non]. 15575, Oct 28 at 1244 checking for KBSWR direct
replacement in English to NAm at 12-13 as on their new schedule, ex-9650
Sackville: JBA carrier, could be colliding station as previously outpointed.
15575 also sked for Korean at 14-15: nothing at 1403, aside Firedrake on 15570,
so something is propagating from E Asia.
9650, however, is still on from Sackville, at 1407 check, VG signal, but only
with tone test and clacking, no programming. More mixups (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 21540, Oct 28 at 1305, R. Kuwait is still on this unregistered
frequency in B-12, Arabic music atop REE in Spanish. It looked promising on Oct
27, when Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria found RK on surprise 13650 at 10-15 instead of
21540, but it collided with others on 13650. In HFCC, RK continues to pretend
it is on 21520 at 1005-15, instead of 21540, meanwhile prolonging the totally
unnecessary collision with Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MYANMAR. 7110, Oct 28 at 1227, Thazin Radio is back on after missing a
couple of days due to civil strife and/or power outages; music audible at 1324
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9500, Oct 28 at 0037 and later chex, no signal from
Mighty KBC Radio which said it would be testing again this week via BULGARIA to
North America. Later info came that a microprocessor failed, and they will try
again next week (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 5950, Oct 28 at 1321, RNZI is back on its B-season frequency
ex-6170, Oct 28 at 1321 about geothermal energy. Had not seen a full B-12 sked
from them but here it is:
http://www.rnzi.com/pages/listen.php
including 5950 at 1300-1550 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6970-AM, Oct 28 at 0042, rock music from pirate with good
signal, but could not pull ID at 0043 thru the noise level. Andy Robins, MI,
got the ID: XFM Shortwave (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 960, UT Sunday Oct 28 at 0500, KGWA maintains modulation with
sports scores, running late this Saturday night, so no Fox hole (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 5975, Oct 28 at 0223, RRI in French, with het, from what?
``Pictures at an Exhibition`` on piano. At 0236 on // 7325 which is stronger,
during mailbag greeting listeners in Qu?bec.
5910, Oct 28 at 0229, HJDH has some heavy QRM atop making fast SAH, in Romanian
so must be RRI, and at 0237 found better // 7340 with violin concerto. Both are
to E NAm at 01-03.
17530, Oct 28 at 1240 RRI in English is the SSOB except for Cuba, far exceeding
anything else from Europe or Mideast on 16m; talk about a town in Transylvania
where musical instruments are made. New B-12 schedule moves this English hour
one UT hour later to 12-13, but after this Week of Confusion, when we are back
on UT -6, it will resume being too early for us before 7 am CST, even if
propagating. 17530 is TIG, while // 15460 is GAL, both to WEu and hence NAm. //
to elsewhere are 17765 GAL and 21570 TIG (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. 7290, Oct 28 at 0208, VOR English very good, somewhat
stronger than // 7250 in new B-12 scheduling. 7290 is 500 kW, 309 degrees from
KCH, MDA at 23-04, = Grigoriopol, PRIDNESTROVYE. 7250 is 500 kW, 315 degrees
from ``ARMavir``, Russia at 22-04, per HFCC. These spans are not necessarily
entirely in use or entirely English. AM hams in North America can kiss their
favorite 40m frequency 7290 goodbye.
9840, Oct 28 at 0518, Russian from R. Rossii, propeller-buzz transmitter is
back here, ex 12+ MHz something, from Moskva/Taldom. Can`t they tell how
defective it is? But whoopee! This winter unlike the last couple, they are not
colliding 9840 with VOR from DVR to WNAm.
5930, Oct 28 at 1320, JBA signal, so not R. Rossii, Pet/Kam? We were wondering
if local time would go off DST and hence prolong the broadcast another hour
past 1300? Apparently not, still in HFCC to close at 1300. TWR via Irkutsk is
also registered here 1245-1530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOMALILAND [and non]. 7120, Oct 28 at 1328, JBA carrier presumed R. Hargeisa
starting to show via long-path; more of a signal from LSB VE7BC close by (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [non]. 9630, Oct 28 at 0516, REE Spanish via COSTA RICA has heavy
Christian-sounding CCI in language with music. HFCC shows it`s now AWR in
Hausa, 300 kW, 190 degrees from AUSTRIA, but it`s almost equal level to REE!
This should go away from Oct 29, as B-12 REE schedule shows them on 9675
instead at 02-06 to NAm, while 9630 was the A-12 frequency. Complete B-12 REE
is in latest DXLD 12-43, but HFCC still doesn`t have it, just relisting old
B-11 info.
17595, Sunday Oct 28 at 1310, REE has started `Mundofon?as` world-music show
with Per?, so it remains at the same UT as in A-12 until new program schedule
effective Nov 12, but now on the B-12 frequencies, also new very strong 15170
ex-11880 via CR, and weaker 15125. 15170 is best, but a trace of an
understation. Can it be RRI as per last winter`s collision revived? Yes,
Romanian 13-15, 290 degrees from Galbeni (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. 7315, Oct 28 at 0534, VG signal, but lo-fi audio, interview in
Arabic. Tired of waiting for a Radio Dabanga singing ID to be interjected, but
surely this is it as now scheduled in B-12 at 04-06 via VATICAN (hope possible
collisions with WHRI have been worked out). 7315 is ex-11650. The other new
frequency in HFCC is unchecked 11940 via MADAGASCAR, ex-15400 (fortunately, as
19m is dead); also on unchecked UAE 13800. 7315 and something on 7325 squeeze
out much weaker Magadan on 7320 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 5950, Oct 28 at 0200 and later, WYFR is gone and with it the
RTI English relays. New and only one is now 22-23 on 15440 and 6115 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY [and non]. 9655, Oct 28 at 0415, VOT on new B-12 frequency for
English to NAm, ex-9515 at 0300; during DX Corner, fair with flutter.
15350, Oct 28 at 1303 news in Turkish enumerating US swing states; VOT Turkish
now here at 07-14, 500 kW, 310 degrees from Emirler for WEu and thence NAm.
Would be good if it weren`t for RHC 15340 splatter plus/minus 20-25 kHz! At
least Morocco continues to be long gone from 15349.1.
17755, Oct 28 at 1307, Turkish music, better signal than non-// Turkish service
on 15350; as in previous B-seasons, this is VOT German service from 1230, 500
kW, 310 degrees from Emirler and also USward.
12035, Oct 28 at 1356, no signal at all from VOT, supposed to be B-12
replacement for 1330 English, ex-1230 on 15450, which was fairly reliable for a
semiyear. Is 12035 really on the air? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K. 5985, Oct 28 at 0239, fair signal in Farsi. It`s new B-12 channel for
BBCWS, due east from Woofferton at 0230-0330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 7520, Oct 28 at 1327, wild fiddling, ex-7575, 1330 ID as VOA
`Jazz America`, also on poor 9640. 7520 is on air during the 13-14 hour only on
weekends, 250 kW, 332 degrees via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, while 9640 is likewise
at 270 degrees.
9800, Oct 28 at 1333, good signal in Korean but some CCI; is VOA, 250 kW, 21
degrees also USward from Tinang, PHILIPPINES, at 12-15, ex-15775 in A-12. No
CCI in HFCC, just Pakistan at 1230-1330. See also INDONESIA (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9990, Oct 28 at 0037, WTWW-2 is blasting in, on air for weekly
Saturday evening broadcast with Ted Randall. Presumed QSY to 5085 circa 0100;
no WORLD OF RADIO at 0130 or 0200 as in previous weeks. 0200-0300 running Rod
Hembree stuff; 0300 starts playing back an old QSO show; 0510 check off the
air, unlike last week when stayed on a couple hours more.
11490, Oct 28 at 0212, very poor signal from PPP = // 2 x 5745 WTWW-1. Never
noted this harmonic before, but may well be in this case DX-398 receiver
overload rather than transmitted.
5745, Oct 28 at 0400, WORLD OF RADIO 1640 airs as scheduled UT Sundays. Also
next week, but after that due to end of DST, will appear at 0500 UT Sundays
starting Nov 11.
5745 has been in use by WTWW-1 for a few weeks ex-5755, but what about B-12
when OCB/R. Mart? was already registered for its usual winter usage at 11-14?
HFCC shows RM has been cut back to 13-14 only so there is no collision, but I`m
still hearing a weak signal from it and no jamming yet at 1319 Oct 28, while
WTWW-1 is already on 9479 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3195, Oct 28 at 0214, gospel music, presumed WWRB which past week in
transition period has been running // 5050, but no 5050 now.
Note that per updated transmitter schedule at
http://www.wwcr.com/transmitter-sched.html
WWCR-1 is also on 3195 part of the time:
22-01 3195, 01-09 3215 this week, and from Nov 4:
23-02 3195, 02-10 3215
Contrariwise, WWRB is on 3215 until 01, then 3195 until 04, presumably also
changing to switchover at 0200 once DST is over and then running until 0500
including WORLD OF RADIO UT Fridays at 0430 on 3195 if they can manage to play
it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGESTE)
** U S A. 5920, Oct 28 at 0218 `Pirating with Cumbre`, so `DXing with Cumbre`
is here at 0200 UT Sunday. 7520, ex-9825, PWC on DWC is also heard at 0415 UT
Sunday. But may change next week or two with DST ending (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15610, Oct 28 at 1301, WEWN announces this hour on 15610, and joining
program (mass) in progress, as happens so often --- will they ever get their
act together? Anyhow, in B-12 no longer shifting to 15615 for the first bihour
of English on 19m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [and non]. 7305, Oct 28 at 0210, no signal from Vatican Radio, which
has registered a surprise new relay via Greenville and retimed Spanish to
0200-0245. Presumably will really start UT Oct 29. Also scheduled 1130-1200 on
7305, both daily.
21680, Oct 28 at 1306, PBXVI clip and news in Italian about BC quake, poor
signal from VR, 1300-1320 daily in Italian, 250 kW, 185 degrees from SMG.
17650, Oct 28 at 1308, big collision between French and Arabish? French is
certainly CRI via Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN and is // 15205, but the other?
Nothing in B-12 HFCC. A12 Aoki, however, had VOA Somali via VATICAN at 13-14,
so suspect SMG has failed to change/delete this transmission. Check tomorrow
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VIETNAM [non]. 9640, Oct 28 at 0226-0228* something in Vietnamese, so no KBS
English direct from Korea South. 9640 is the replacement for Sackville 6175,
with VOV scheduled now 250 kW, 294 degrees via Woofferton UK to CIRAF 8 = E
NAm: 01-03 English, 0330-0400 English. Since they never had two hours straight
of English, I assume this really includes Vietnamese at 0130-0230; did it come
back on at 0230?
See CANADA, where old 6175 stayed on the air with BaBcoCk music fill loop all
evening and even on 9555 after 0430; 6175 is still on the new VOV schedule, but
only for Spanish at 0300-0328 and 0400-0428 via WHRI. I may not have checked
during those hours, but it could have been a big collision.
The replacement for Sackville 9555 in Vietnamese at 0430-0528 is supposed to be
7345, 250 kW, 310 degrees from Woofferton to W NAm, which is an even worse
substitute for Sackville. It aims across Greenland and Utah to Los Angeles

** ARGENTINA. 13363.5 LSB, unidentified Argentine Feeder, 2130-
2240+, Oct 28, Spanish talk. Spanish play-by-play futbol coverage.
Weak at tune-in, but improved to a fair level by 2225. Gone at 2258
check. (Alexander-PA)
** ISRAEL. 6884.97, Galei Zahal, 2115-2130, Oct 28, noted back
close to 6885 after being heard yesterday on 10340.95. Hebrew
talk. Lite instrumental music. Local pop ballads. // 15850 - both
frequencies weak but readable. 6884.97 also heard Oct 29 at
0020-0030 with a good signal. (Alexander-PA)
** THAILAND. 13745 NF, Radio Thailand, 0019-0035, Oct 29,
New Frequency. ex-15275. Tune-in to English ?Morning News Hour?.
IDs. Promos for traveling to Asia. Ad for Bangkok Airways. Fair to
good. Reduced signal strength to a weak but readable level at 0030
when they switch their antenna beam headings from eastern to
western North America. (Alexander-PA)

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** ALBANIA [and non]. 7465, Oct 29 at 0025, new frequency and time for R.
Tirana, Albanian to NAm, 0000-0100, ex 2300-2400 on 7425. Fair signal and in
the clear, as it would not have been if stayed on 7425, where CRI English from
Kashgar is co-channel and indeed audible here on the opposite worldside; in
B-11 they kept colliding.
6100, Oct 29 at 0218, 0230 and 0243, R. Tirana`s new English frequency at new
time 0230 is not on tonight, but will start UT Oct 30, so I check it anyway for
any QRM problems: not from any legitimate broadcaster, but Cuban pulse jamming
is running against nothing, perhaps Arnie`s little jab as a spoiler to an
ex-Communist country. There is nothing on 6100 at any hour of the day in HFCC
B-12 (or A-12) which could possibly require jamming from Cuba (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 6180, Oct 29 at 0219, RNB is missing again, undetectable between
Sackville 6175 and M?xico 6185 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 9625, Oct 29 at 0224, CBC NQ is still on with jazz piano, now with
ACI from Spain on only one side, 9620 direct, since CR relay has moved to 9675;
however, the REE 00-02 DRM bihour remains on 9625-9630-9635 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. See VIETNAM [non]; JAPAN [non]; KOREA SOUTH [non]
** CUBA. 15205-15255, Oct 29 at 0027, RHC 15230 is again accompanied by buzz
field out to 25 kHz away.
6000 and 6050, Oct 29 at 0103, the only two RHC English frequencies scheduled
from 0100 are still in Spanish // all the others checked: 5040, 6060, 9710,
9810, 11690, 11760, 11840 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also
ALBANIA
** CUBA [non]. 9825, Oct 29 at 0221, R. Mart? with Serie Mundial coverage, at
first seems atop jamming, then seems that noise is just from the crowd in the
ballpark (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 9965, Oct 29 at 0220, open carrier, dead air with some hum
9905, Oct 29 at 0220, DA but then distorted Qur`an and cutting out, i.e.
modulating on peaks; meanwhile propeller noise is continuous.
9720, Oct 29 at 0223, fair signal but JBM; bet it`s also Cairo, which listed
this frequency in last half of A-12 but never used it for English to North
America at 0200-0330. At 0235 with phones I strain to hear it, and then can
tell the M&W conversation is indeed in accented English; the A-12 frequency for
this, 9315, is no longer on.
6855, Oct 29 at 0235, open carrier, fair signal. Could this be Cairo too? They
have appeared in this area in past. Checking HFCC B-12, 6860 is scheduled
earlier in the day but not 6855. It shows the 9 MHz ones:
9720 0045 0330 6,7 ABZ 250 330 0 800 1234567 281012 310313 D Spa, Eng
9905 0200 0700 8,9,27,28 ABS 250 315 0 216 1234567 281012 310313 D Ara
9965 2300 0430 8,9 ABS 200 325 0 211 1234567 281012 310313 D Eng, Ara
9905 is ex-9305 where not heard, altho it is still on the schedule with exactly
same parameters, alternate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 9895, Oct 29 at 0238, music and YL narration, Farsi? 0239 into Qur`an,
slightly distorted modulation. Can`t be Farsi, maybe Farsi-accented Arabic
which is now scheduled 0230-0530 from IRIB, 500 kW, 289 degrees from Zahedan
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. Like last night, the NHK relays are still messed up by
Sackville staying on the air despite new relays in place: 5960, Oct 29 at 0216,
I can hear NHK Japanese twice, the echo much weaker about one second behind the
first one, and still so at 0242. I think the first and stronger one is
Sackville, mostly covering up the second, weaker and now correct one via Guiana
French. But the other GUF frequency, 11935 at 0215 and still at 0242, which
would be in the clear, is again only running the NHK IS and IDs over and over.
If NHK feed gets to GUF for 5960, why not for 11935 too?
6110, NHK English is still going on very strong Sackville at 0505 check, also
weaker // 11740 new via GUF manages to stay in English instead of Spanish
tonight, and also audible via FRANCE on 9770.
6195, meanwhile at 0506 has NHK Spanish playing exactly the same liner heard a
few sex earlier on 6110 during English news. This is via WHRI, unlike 0400
Spanish on 6195 via GUF (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 9560, Oct 29 at 0225, Sackville is still transmitting the
KBS Spanish relay at 0200-0230, VG signal except there is nothing but tone
disrupted by the clacking.
B-12 HFCC shows TDF with KBS Spanish is now 0300-0400 on 15400 via GUIANA
FRENCH, unchecked but KBS` own schedule at
http://world.kbs.co.kr/english/about/about_time.htm
shows instead 0100-0200 on 11635, not checked here yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 960, UT Monday Oct 29 at 0500, KGWA dead air is filled
when nulled by pileup of other stations making heavy SAHs, but heard at first
atop is definite Spanish, ``Qu? tal, amigos otro --- musical``. Null on this
one fits for XEK Nuevo Laredo. Then I am hearing blues music, especially shrill
harmonic at 0503, presumed WABG in Mississippi (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1120, Oct 28 at 1950 UT, KEOR Catoosa/Sperry/Tulsa is back on with
continuous Mexican music, well audible via caradio on another expedition north
of Enid to Squirrel Haven; however, asphalt portions of US 81/64/60 where we
are simultaneously northbound, westbound and eastbound, produce heavy tire
static, while concrete portions much less so. I stop at a pulloff by a
celltower with no visible means of electrical support; powerlines are poler,
but on other side of highway. Do these things run on batteries or own
generators even when powerlines are handy? At least they put out no RFI on MW.
During all this recent KEOR reactivity, tho I have not listened for hours at a
time straight, I have never caught any announcement, let alone a slogan, or
legal ID, so I make sure to listen at the next hourtop, 1959: No, just segu? to
more music. Seems they don`t think they need to ID legally. Still on at 2019
with music introducing itself as cumbia! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1430, Oct 28 at 2006 UT, near Squirrel Haven about 10 miles north
of Enid, I am parked and bandscanning on the caradio. I especially want a
definite log of nearby KALV, which is hard to hear dentro-Enid due to its null
protecting KTBZ Tulsa. Out here we are just far enough away from the null to
hear it weakly atop KTBZ and making a SAH of about 8 Hz. ``Your host for
Northwestern Rangers [a silly ballteam] in Alva, 1430 AM stereo, KALV`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1500, Oct 28 at 2001 UT, Fox Sports Radio. Would expect this to be
nearest groundwave station, KPGM in Pawhuska, rather than KSTP, a bit early for
skywave from St Paul, and that`s ESPN, right?
Unlike ESPN Deportes, Fox Sports Radio has a user-friendly website with all
affiliates on one page
http://www.foxsportsradio.com/pages/allstations.html
or, one may click on a state-by-state map, but the only one they know about on
1500 is WSEM in Donalsonville GA. A recent change? NRC AM Log 2012 shows KPGM
as RELigious. Sports is the religion in OK; but I go direct to KPGM:
http://www.bartlesvilleradio.com/pages/kpgm-1500-am
which shows it is now primarily sports talk, and explains that on weekends they
are with FSR, much but not all of the rest of the time with The Sports Animal
OKC, KWPN-640, which is all-ESPN, right?
Plus they have local talk shows, and even a minute-by-minute schedule:
http://www.bartlesvilleradio.com/pages/kpgm-programming-schedule
setting an example followed by too few radio stations
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1610, the hum-only carrier heard before N of Enid is still there
Oct 28 at 1958 UT, presumably Great Salt Plains TIS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SERBIA [non]. 6190, Oct 29 at 0105 fair in Serbian. IRS has made seasonal
change from 9685 to N America, tho they won`t tell HFCC about it. Still going
at 0214. Presumably this and the English times have all been latened by one
hour. It had not been yesterday, but now the ``program schedule`` which is
really a transmission schedule lacking any info about program titles or
content, is up for B-12:
http://voiceofserbia.org/program-schedule
Showing English on 6190 250 kW is at 0130-0200 except Sun & Mon. To Europe:
daily 1930-2000 and 2200-2230 on 6100 with 250 kW, and 1400-1430 daily on 9635
with 10 kW (from inside Serbia)(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [non]. 9675, Oct 29 at 0223, REE via CR is now here as expected,
ex-9630, and // 9765, much weaker 3350; see also CANADA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 15440, Oct 28 at 2210, the new and only RTI relay time in
English via WYFR, 22-23 UT, excellent signal, as was the case before when not
in English. Feels like it`s on their 315 antenna but supposedly 285, while //
6115 is much weaker, listed as 355 degrees, so that should be much better in
the east (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7335, UT Monday Oct 29 at 0058, `Voice of Martyrs` concludes and WHRI
announces frequency change from 7385 to 9605; trouble is, this is 7335. Goes
off and 9605 does come up at 0059, and there is another WHRI on 7385 with
separate programming, `Waters of Life`, but after OCS IS, 7385 continues past
0100, into `DXing with Cumbre`, AAMOF, #736 produced Oct 25, so Marie got one
done this week. And there it goes again on a real SW frequency, 5920 at 0200 UT
Monday, in progress at 0219 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5050, Oct 29 at 0102, WWRB with KJVB readings, and also // 3195, so
they haven`t phased out the higher frequency yet, altho it isn`t always on too.
Both still on at 0240 with g.h. on world devastation prophesied. Note: before
0100 the US station on 3195 is WWCR while WWRB is on 3215, then they swap
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7506.4, Oct 29 at 0215, WRNO gospel huxter with suppressed
modulation; 0233 starting another one, `Truth That Changes Lives` more
distorted and even worse during music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1540, Oct 28 at 2002 UT on caradio a bit N of Enid, dominant station
has ABC news, 2005 ID as ``Talk Radio 1540 KNGL``, gratuitous anti-Liberal
promo, Mike Gallagher Show promo or start. This is 250 watts in McPherson KS,
not yet overridden by KXEL skywave (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN. 7305, Oct 29 at 0232, open carrier, fair but not solid signal,
presumably Greenville standing by for Vatican Radio to feed them their Spanish
service now scheduled at 0200-0245; ?Ma?ana? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** VIETNAM [non]. For the second night, Sackville is keeping ex-VOV relay
frequency 6175 on the air with nothing but BaBcoCk fill music loop, with that
glitch/tape snag every minute, as noted Oct 29 at 0105, VG signal but pointless.
Meanwhile, VOV`s replacement for Sackville, 9640 via Woofferton is also on with
real programming in Vietnamese, at 0214 Oct 29, fair signal, no comparison to
Sackville. At 0223 reciting Vietnamese words with bell cues between, presumably
language lesson for Anglos. At 0231 check, the all-English broadcast has
started, presumably repeating the 0100.
Tonight I make a point of rechecking 6175 after 0300, when that frequency is
scheduled in B-12 for VOV Spanish via WHRI: yup, there it is about 4 Hz apart,
and underneath CANADA. So RCI is spoiling replacement transmission by its
former longtime client. Presumably same happens at 0400-0430.
9555, BabCoCk music loop is still here tonight, Oct 29 at 0459 check till 0529
during abandoned VOV Vietnamese via Sackville from 0430 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
