Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 12, after 1400:
9315, poor at 1417 vs algo; Aoki shows target VOA Tibetan via Thailand
None found 12-18 MHz at 1425-1433
11970, poor at 1433 vs algo; nothing listed except Sound of Hope
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also TIBET [non]
** FRANCE. 15530, Nov 12 at 1427, rock song in English in Elton John style,
good signal but cut off abruptly at 1430*, how rude. HFCC shows it must have
been RFI`s Russian service, 500 kW, 80 degrees from Issoudun (Glenn Hasuer, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 15260, UT Sunday Nov 11 at 2207, bits of gamelan music mixed with
disjointed Indonesish talk. HFCC and Aoki show it`s KSDA which at 2200-2230
shares Javanese and Sundanese depending on day of week: Javanese on
Sun/Tue/Thu, Sundanese on Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat. I would have guessed Javanese
already, presumably closer to standard Indonesian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. The Cimanggis transmitters are back on air Nov 12!
9526-, Nov 12 at 1419 carrier with flutter but no modulation audible
9680, Nov 12 at 1419, open carrier, stronger than the China radio war
Ishida agrees:
9526 VOI on the air Nov 12 including English at 1407 (it was also on Nov 5-10,
but not 11). Wonder if they are really moving English later one hour when there
is no ACI or CCI? But modulation would help a bit
9680 RRI on the air Nov 12 from -0800 to 1505*, first time since Oct 19 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11510, Nov 12 at 1434, fair signal with ululations,
presumed Kurdish music from Denge Kurdistan. Wolfgang B?schel is 99% sure this
is now coming from the Grigoriopol, Pridnestrovye site at 04-20 (tho some other
sites may have been tested) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 960, UT Monday Nov 12 at 0602, four descending ``XEW`` chimes, the
longtime signature of the 900 station, barely audible under ABC news presumably
from KMA in Iowa, both of which are audiblized thanks to the usual (but not
always) Fox-hole of dead air from local KGWA Enid at 0600-0605. The XEW chimes
were previously IDed as coming from XEK in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas. Does XEW
own XEK or is this just in tribute? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1000, Nov 12 at 0701 UT, ``Ciudad Ju?rez, Chihuahua, M?xico, las 12
con un minuto``. This was so strong that it had to be nulled to hear KTOK OKC,
opposite of usual. Cant?:
1000 XEFV La Rancherita Cd. Ju?rez, Chih. 1,000 D
Oops, XEFV doesn`t know it`s a daytimer, or Cant? is in error. WRTH shows it as
1 kW fulltime, and IRCA 2011 shows 5/1 kW, 24 hours irregular (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1040, Nov 12 at 0701 UT, choral NA in WHO null, but couldn`t hold it
for any ID afterwards. Assuming it`s local midnite, Cant? shows two
possibilities:
1040 XEHES Rom?ntica + FM 94.1 Chihuahua, Chih. 5,000 250
1040 XEGYS La Primera + FM 90.1 Guaymas, Son. 5,000 250
During standard time there is no longer a one-hour difference between Chihuahua
and Sonora, both UT -7. Handy Mexican timezone map
http://www.worldtimezone.com/time-mexico12.php
shows UT -7 now applies to: BCS, Nayarit, Sinaloa, Sonora, Chihuahua. UT -8 is
BCN only, and the rest are all UT -6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PRIDNESTROVYE. 7290, UT Sunday Nov 11 at 2212, report in English on sports
in Tiraspol, 2212 ``program is over``, from Radio PMR, schedule given as
``Monday to Friday 8, 10 and 12 pm GMT on 7290``, [email protected] and at 2214
ID instead as ``Radio Pridnestrovye, on the air, music``. So the 2200 English
broadcast is *not* Monday-Friday by UT, but Sunday-Thursday, and presumably
just came on at 2200, while the week`s transmissions stop at 2200 UT Friday
before that English.
DX Mix News, Bulgaria, just published a schedule accepting station claim that
this is Monday-Friday --- that only applies to local time where it`s after
midnight. The same transmitter relays Voice of Russia toward North America,
daily from 2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [non]. 17560, 17565, 17570, since B-12 began I am no longer hearing
any Firedrake here between 1400 and 1430, and no Voice of Tibet either which in
A-12 was transmitted due northeast from Madagascar. Hunting thru HFCC B-12,
there are no VOT entries at all, so is it no longer on SW?
Aoki B-12, however still shows two VOT transmissions via Madagascar:
1430-1458 on 17535, 1530-1558 on 15485; plus numerous at odd time via
Tajikistan.
In A-12 the MDG relays were still routed thru RNW as FMO, but in B-12 HFCC, the
only single entry involving RNW at all is their own 0000-0030 via WHRI on 9895.
So it appears we cannot expect complete info now that the new FMO known as MGB
is in charge of Talata (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN. 3975, Nov 12 at 0658 organ music, fair // stronger 6075 and weaker
7250; both 3975 and 6075 cut off just after 0659*. It`s Vatican Radio with the
Latin mass at 0630-0700. 3975 is beamed 100 kW, 330 degrees toward the British
Isles, and USward too. HFCC shows it lasting until 0715, possible buffer?
BTW, at certain limited hours in previous seasons, 3975 and/or 7250 were
occupied by the low-power transmitter inside the Vatican Gardens, but HFCC B12
shows everything from VAT is now 100, 250 or 500 kW from SMG. WRTH 2012 showed
1 x 10 kW and 1 x 80 kW, the latter with a double-dagger, whatever that mean,
at the inside-VAT site. So is this definitely closed now? Aoki A-12 showed the
Latin mass at summer timing of 0530-0600 except Sundays was the 10 kW on 3975;
also for Rosario at 1840-1900 daily (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1030, Nov 12 at 0700 UT, slogan ``la mejor compa??a, emisoras
---``. Hoped this slogan would lead to something feasible, like Mexico, but
searching keeps heading toward Argentina on this frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15151.5-SSB, Nov 12 at 1425, Spanish 2-way intruder with big het
from 15150 broadcaster. Heard here several times before (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

Subject: [HCDX] Coming SDR software SDR-COM 2.0: Sneak previw on You
Tube
Message-ID: <008401cdc105$a43d7220$ecb85660$@net>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Hi - Simon Brown is working on his new software SDR-COM 2.0. I was really
stunned by all the features of the beta version, which is announced to be a
public one possibly "in December".
The module "IQ file analysis" fascinated me most. There you can call an IQ
file of some MHz of width and hours or even days of time. Then just point
and click - and just his signal will be heard.
I made a sneak preview of this module and uploaded it to You Tube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZX6lVHh1lYA
It shows some applications for shortwave listeners, broadcasters, and
utility DXers.
Critics & comments welcomed! (Yeah, also I noted that You Tube obviously
refused to take over the explaining captions of the video, made with
Camtasia 8. Hope it will nevertheless give some idea ...)

9560 kHz
Yes, new channel, RP has a lot of WOODEN requests on ITU/HFCC list.
Supposedly at night only Kashmir bcast 3975 1500-1815 UT,
and 9560 Urdu EUR/NE 17-19 UT.
Heard at 1850 UT here in Germany, but weak signal level.
Not like 250 kW of power.
Searched for 2nd \\ night sce channel,
but seemingly only SINGLE frequency bcast on 9560 kHz so far.
0500-0700 UT 17830 21460
1330-1530 UT 11575 11675 11800 kHz.
1700-1900 UT requests: 7530 9350 9380 9390 9470 9500 - and 9560 kHz.
