BANGLADESH 15105 Empty strong carrier of fine audio modulation heard here,
very early at 1224-1226 UT Dec 22.
S=9+25dB here in Germany. But at 1228:10 a heyvy BUZZY modulation line
connected to the TX, started with FLUTE interval signal. Very early time
pips reached me at 1229:20 UTC. Followed by English language newscast from
1231 UT, news til 1237:30 UT, then followed by commentary about cinema
industry in Indian English empire, and also Bangla films at Dhaka.
Heavy 100 Hertz buzz on +/- 150, 250, 350, 450 Hertz each sideband.

BANGLADESH 15505, Dec 18 at 1427, still no signal from Bangladesh Betar,
and here`s why: Ivo Ivanov says all the BB external services between 1230
and 2000 are now on 7250. Why doesn`t BB notify us of such changes? Note:
this is a NON-LOG, not to be transformed into a log by inattentive editing.
Possibly 7250 can make it to parts of N America on a very good winter
morning, such as English 1230-1300. Or not: beware! CRI English via Kashgar,
East Turkistan is also on 7250 at 12-13 per HFCC, EiBi and Aoki.

** MOROCCO [and non]. 9579, Dec 22 at 0635, weak het with 9580, so apparently
both Africa No. One, GABON, and M?di Un, are on with the usual clash. Gabon had
been missing at various previous chex. Aoki and HFCC show the only other
station on 9580 during this hour is Lhasa, Tibet, but I don`t recall ever
seeing it reported (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 21600, Dec 22 at 1540, KBC Radio special, tnx to reminder
from Larry Cunningham. VG signal, stronger than Spain 21610 or WHRI 21630. But
there is some regular fading, hinting at a SAH, but no other modulation. Site
surely Wertachtal, GERMANY, but are they running two transmitters instead of
one? Could and/or be Nauen.
Country music, outro as Allison Krauss (sp?), ``country music classic, for
truckers all over the world``; then ``Six Days on the Road``. Also very poor on
// 15470, and JBA carrier on 9835, the two other frequencies listed. Apparently
live DJs with American accents remark, ``Trucker radio on KBC, not KFC,``
expecting to be asked back.
1544 ad with British accent for I-phone.nl, sounds like, until spelt as
hifun.nl, then KBC Radio singing ID; 1545 promo by Bob for his `On the Road`
show at 10-noon CET weekdays, for Belgian truckers; on ``shortwave AM 60-95,
transportradio.nl`` plus E- and P-mail addresses. 1548 another song, and more;
1557 wrapping up till tomorrow and off at 1559*.
I then check the website and find this from the KBC Forum dated way back on Nov
16, 2012:
http://www.kbcradio.eu/forumwp/?p=1641
``December 2012: The Mighty KBC Blasting Out Of Your Tranny!! The extra
frequencies and transmitters for 22, 23, 25 and 26 December are:
EU (German time) UT +1
9835 kHz, 1500-1600 UT, Non Directional, 125 kW
USA (East Coast time) UT -5
21600 kHz, 1500-1600 UT, 300?, 250 kW
Asia (Vietnam time) UT +7 / Australia (Sydney time) UT +11
15470 kHz, 1500-1600 UT, 75?, 250 kW
And on 22, 23 December we also have our 6095 transmitter on the air as well
with 100 kW 0900?1600 UT.
During weekdays we also have The Mighty 6095 on the air between 0900?1100 UT
with 100 kW.
And on December 23 we also use 9450 kHz from Bulgaria beamed to the USA, Canada
and South America between 0000?0200 with 100 kW`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 15225, Dec 22 at 1443, open carrier; 1452 recheck now somewhat
undermodulating in Arabic, 1500 mentions Saudi, theme music.
HFCC shows Riyadh starting at 1500, 500 kW, 295 degrees, but Aoki says the Call
of Islam service starts at 1450 (I was not hearing Qur`an). KTWR Guam
supposedly is also on 15225 with English at 1400-1523/1535, but no sign of it
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1648 monitoring: confirmed on webcast of Area 51, UT
Saturday Dec 22 at 0230, and presumably also on WBCQ 5110v-CUSB. Next: UT
Sunday 0500 on WTWW-1 5830; Sunday 0900, 1630, Monday 0530, Tuesday 1200 on
WRMI 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1310, Dec 22 at 1357 UT, ``Puede Ser`` romantic sounding song,
but I think it`s gospel; 1400 brief announcement I can`t copy and into another
Spanish song. Still suspect it`s KKNS in Corrales NM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 4815, Dec 23 at 0011, Brazilian Portuguese sounds like preaching, so
R. Dif. Londrina, ZYG640.
Speaking of callsigns, I see that the WRTH 2013 perpetuates the error in the
callsign for 15190v R. Inconfid?ncia as ZYE622 instead of ZYE522 to match their
6010 frequency which is ZYE521. Aoki agrees that 15190 is ZYE522 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BULGARIA. 9450, Dec 23 at 0019, The Mighty KBC with another UT Sunday
broadcast, fair signal and somewhat distorted modulation during ``Jukebox with
Eric van Willigen``. Not as strong as last week and progressively weakening. By
0153 it`s very poor. Kim`s digital tests ought to be in the first half hour
rather than the last one, and this week he says it cut off the air before the
final one (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 4800, Dec 23 at 0009, poor signal definitely in Chinese, so CNR1
Geermu grayline over the pole. Not much from Latin America on 60m at this time,
but also Chinese? on 4920, PBS Xizang but listed by Aoki as in Tibetan. And
algo on 4820, probably also Xizang in Chinese. All three frequencies also bear
All India Radio stations, but supposedly not opening until 0015, 0020 or 0025.
The two greatest Asian nations cannot get their acts together, or rather apart,
so they don`t interfere with each other! For starters, it would be a simple
matter for one to use frequencies in -0, the other in -5, but that would make
too much sense.
Adjacent Colombia and Venezuela used to split up the 60m band this way when
each had lots of stations, Venezuela in -0 and Colombia in -5. Even today, it`s
no accident that every single Brazilian 60m station ends in -5, plus or minus
some variants, leaving the -0s to the rest of South America, but Bolivia and
Peru are all over the place (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5025, Dec 23 at 0013, R. Rebelde audio in Spanish is breaking up
constantly. Feeder problem or transmitter problem? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY. 9480, Dec 23 at 0200 and 0237, no signal from European Music Radio
DX test, scheduled 0200-0300 this UT Sunday, nor was I expecting to hear this 1
kW if really on, since KBC Bulgaria 9450 with 100 kW was hardly audible before
0200. EMR would do well to emulate Europirates broadcasting to North America in
our mornings/their afternoons over full day path on 15, 17 or 21 MHz (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 89.5, Dec 23 around 0030 UT, the Singing Xmas Trees are at it
again with a few secular Xmas songs same as last year from the oil well lot at
West Oak & Oakwood in Enid. The well pumps away quietly to the side.
99.9, Dec 23 around 0115 UT, the home on Pheasant Run on the west side of Enid
is again running Xmas music and light show; maybe some different tunes,
including soul renditions, but did not stay for the whole 35-minute cycle. As
before, range of this transmitter is less than 89.5, but plenty if you are
parked across the street to watch it (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 1521, Dec 23 at 0102 and 0143 chex, 1 kHz het upon KOKC OKC
1520, no doubt the 2-megawatt behemoth in Duba, the sure pilot to
trans-Atlantic MW openings. There could be some others on more split
frequencies, but the het makes it easy to recognize on the 10-kHz-step caradio
while out on an Xmas-lite-and-sound expedition; see OKLAHOMA (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9665-9725, Dec 21 at 2105, very bad spurs from WTWW-2, 9905 with
Brother Scare. Maybe peaks 9705, but blocking anything else over this range.
Extremely distorted on modulation peaks. Upper spurs not as strong, audible
from 10100 to 10125. These are roughly plus and minus 205 kHz from 9905
fundamental.
Also Dec 22 at 2023 check, spurs from 9905 now ranging 9660-9735, and
10105-10115, as QSO Show is being simulcast with 9479 WTWW-1. Mark Sills, W5JXY
in Dallas, was also hearing the FMy spurs around 9705, so I checked them out.
More problems on WTWW-2, 5085, UT Dec 23 at 0013, Ted is about to play a clip
for a caller when dumps off the air. From his remote studio with no air
monitor, he may not be aware of this. Cuts back on at 0017, but meanwhile I had
something UNIDENTIFIED, q.v.
Next check 0153, 5085 has double audio, both the QSO Show with Ted and a
preacher about repentance, roughly equal levels, and not // 5830 WTWW-1. At
0158 now we are getting the QSO Show only but with a weaker echo four or five
words behind. At 0237, only one QSO Show discussing EME and the 2.5 second
delay. Hmm, was that moonbounce I was getting earlier? Hi. At 0305 check it`s
on to preacher and pseudo-scientist Rod Hembree.
Let us hope there are no problems disrupting the last best chance to hear WORLD
OF RADIO 1648 on SW this weekend, UT Sunday 0500 on WTWW-1 5830, since the
first airing Thursday at 2200 on 9479 suffered a transmission outage (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5085.8, approx., Dec 23 at 0014-0017, while WTWW has dumped off
the air from 5085, I hear a very weak broadcast signal slightly off that
frequency. Possibly in Spanish; I scramble to measure it using the DX-398 on
the porch, but WTWW is back on before I can be certain or pull any other
program details. Far too weak to produce even a het once WTWW is back on. No
known broadcasters besides WTWW around this frequency, and not a likely image
or harmonic either. Better luck next time WTWW is missing around this time
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
