Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Nov 16 at frequent chex including 1310, 1330, 1355, 1418,
no show from LRA36, not even a JBA carrier, altho reported to have been
reactivated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUIANA FRENCH [and non]. 9475, 9482, 9498, 9505, approx. peaks of squealing
spurs surrounding 9490, Nov 16 at 0040, TDF transmission of Radio Rep?blica at
0000-0157. Some nights the spurs are there, some nights not.
So potential victims such as The Mighty KBC would be well-advised to continue
avoiding 9500 or this area completely; again UT Sunday Nov 18 at 0000-0200 they
are to be on 9450 via Bulgaria, including further digital mode tests at 0130,
as Kim Elliott points out; see
http://www.kbcradio.eu/index.php?dir=news/detail&id=237
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 9870, Nov 16 at 1414, AIR VBS with ``news`` martial theme, or is it,
since odd time and after a few words soon back to music; poor signal but atop
CRI CCI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1640, Nov 16 at 1340 UT, dead air from KFXY Enid, but with strong
carrier nulled as best I can, no understation audible at this hour. Didn`t last
until 1400. Wish KFXY would start a regular dead-air hole in darkness like KGWA
at local midnight (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OMAN. 15140, Nov 16 at 1453, YL with medical advice in English, ID in
passing as Radio Sultanate of Oman, poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES [non]. 15320, Nov 16 at 1505, ``was inspired by a very good
priest here in the Philippines, Father Jerry``, and other English bits mixed in
with Tagalog, along with piano music. A busy frequency used by KSDA Guam and
AWR Sri Lanka, RTI, FEBC, RFA, Mashaal Radio, but during this hour only it`s R.
Veritas Asia, 250 kW, 130 degrees via VATICAN, in `Filipino` to Egypt, Arabian
Peninsula and Iran; so off the back is 310 degrees USward with a typically good
offbeam signal provided by SMG (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOMALILAND [and non]. 7120, Nov 16 at 1329, R. Hargeisa very poor with
music, but better than first check at 1308; can`t recognize any English during
rechex, but 1340 onwards mixing music and presumed Somali talk. Always some CW
QRhaM, such as CQs from K9CM around 1346, i.e. David L Trout in Columbus IN. At
1401 same fanfare and military band tune with drumming, apparently anthem, as
heard yesterday, which really cuts thru the noise best, ending at 1402:37 and
carrier off at 1402:55*. Presumably longpath (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** TAIWAN. 7688, Nov 16 at 1321-1324+, YL with Chinese numbers, 8 syllables at
a time between pauses, so 8 numbers each? Occasional interruptions for
non-numerical announcements. Seems to be more modulation on USB than LSB but
could pass for AM. Aoki shows this is
XingXing Guangbo Diantai in Kuanyin, not bad for 10 kW nondirexional, i.e. the
``Star-Star`` numbers station, scheduled on 7688 one semihour each at 05, 06,
12 and 13 UT; (and also on 7654 at 02, 03, 04, 07 and 08). Indeed gone at 1333
recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [non]. 15485, Nov 16 at 1530, presumed V. of Tibet as now scheduled in
Tibetan via MADAGASCAR, good signal, better than the 1430 on 17535; and no
jamming audible past 1533 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1643 monitoring: first SW airing confirmed Thursday
Nov 15 at 2201 on WTWW 9479. Second airing confirmed UT Friday Nov 16 at 0430
on WWRB 3195 (and webcast also working this week; and 5051/5050 remains off the
air). Next:
UT Sat 0230v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB --- For all the other Area 51
programming and to reconfirm WOR, see:
http://www.worldmicroscope.com/
UT Sun 0500 on WTWW-1 5745 (or a new frequency maybe 5855 or so)
On HLR: Sat 0630 on 7265, 1630 on 6190 (if same as last week)
On WRMI 9955: Sat 0900, 1600, 1830, Sun 0900, 1630, Mon 0530, Tue 1200
On WRN via SiriusXM 120: Sat 1830
Full schedule with many more webcasts:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1010, Nov 16 at 0629-0631 UT, sermon, or at least a religious talk in
Spanish with consecutive translation to English, phrase by phrase, loops E-W
dominating channel. Smax of KXXT Tolleson AZ (Ph?nix market), and likely on day
power of 15 kW rather than nite power of 250 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1480, Nov 16 at 1339, KBXD Dallas with its characteristic SAH against
KQAM et al., YL talking about aid projects such as clean water wells,
consecutive translation to unknown (African?) language. Sounds like typical
missionary business, such as ICDI in the Central African Republic (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1070, Nov 16 at 0634 UT, music in Spanish, 0635 announcement
maybe mentioning ``Radio Acci?n``. Then KNX fades up. Suspected WCSZ Sans Souci
SC (Greenville market), as has been widely reported out of whack and getting
out at night. Seems WCSZ has no website and no stream (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

Subject: [HCDX] AIH18 DXpedition report from Finland
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Yet another DXpedition report from Aihkiniemi in the Finnish Lapland can
be found on DXing.info at http://www.dxing.info/dxpeditions/aih18rep.dx
Logging AM stations from Malawi, Uganda and other African countries was
the highlight of this October DXpedition. From the East, new Thai and
Chinese stations were heard often. AIH18 began just two weeks after we
concluded AIH17, and in between there were no major changes in propagation.
We had a total of 13 Beverage-type antennas, each about 1 km (3,000 ft)
in length. The latest addition was an antenna pointing at 160 degrees,
which proved to be very useful.
In addition to DXing, we enjoyed the first snow and hiking in the
mountains of Lapland.

VIETNAM Bawl sirene signal against RFA Vietnamese broadcast on 15170 kHz at
2330-0030 UT at 2350 UT Nov 16.
Came across more four spurious signals of same kind, some 35 kHz downwards
in 19 mb.
15170 kHz of RFA Vietnamese from Tinian Mariana Isls.
Some sirene tone peaks a little higher than 15170 on 15169 to 15175 kHz
range, like 15171.040 15172.760, and 15173.870 kHz.
But also observed four more spur signals of very same tone characteristic
sign, on 15135.720, 15136.230, 15136.850, and 15137.980 kHz.

"This morning I spoke to the Base Esperanza and I talked with Mirta, a station
announcer. She told me that the transmissions are sporadic and they are
performing maintenance on the station to put it on air in early 2013.
I left her with the feeling that even the shortwave broadcasts will not be
regular, as broadcasters and technicians are getting ready to leave the ice
continent, and budge up a new staff that will be working in the coming month of
February in LRA36. The idea is to leave the radio in perfect condition for the
next Antarctic campaign. He also mentioned that the station would come out with
a power of 1 kW and they currently broadcast in the FM band for the inhabitants
of the base and its surroundings."

Asunto: Re: [Lista ConDig] Antartida: LRA36 ha retornado al aire hoy, segun
comentario en mi blog.
?
Esta ma?ana habl? a la Base Esperanza y me conect? con Mirta, una locutora de
la emisora, me coment? que las transmisiones son espor?dicas y que se
encuentran realizando mantenimiento en la estaci?n, a fin de colocarla al aire
a principios del 2013.
Me dej? la sensaci?n de que todav?a las emisiones en Onda Corta no ser?n
regulares, ya que locutores y t?cnicos est?n apront?ndose para abandonar el
contienente helado, y dar paso a una nueva dotaci?n que estar?n trabajando en
el mes de febrero en la querida LRA36. La idea es dejar la radio en perfecto
estado para la pr?xima campa?a ant?rtica. Tambi?n mencion? que la estaci?n
saldr?a con una potencia de 1 Kw y por el momento emite su programaci?n en la
banda de FM para los habitantes de la base y sus alrededores.
As? que habr? que esperar un "poquit?n" de tiempo para practicar DX con una de
las pocas estaciones argentinas que transmite por ondas decam?tricas.
