Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** CHINA [and non]. 7390, Dec 26 at 1435, Firedrake vs something in Chinese,
i.e. VOA Cantonese via Philippines.
9315, Dec 26 at 1436, humbuzz jamming and I think Firedrake is in there too,
against VOA Mandarin via Tinian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY. 7265, Dec 26 at 0653 check, nothing from Hamburger Lokalradio, when
WORLD OF RADIO was scheduled to air on another of their extra broadcasts on
Wednesday at 0630. I hope it was audible around Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 7475 // 9420, Dec 25 at 0611, ERT sounds like a rather unOrthodox
Catholic mass, which fits since Orthodox Xmas is not until January 6. But this
means that the Radio Filia separate service during this hour on 7475 has
disappeared, due to Xmas? Same situation 24 hours later, Dec 26 at 0606, the
two // but now sounding more Orthodox (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 17735, Dec 26 at 1527, fair signal with hymn on piano, 1529
Japanese announcement with echo, 1531 another hymn tune. Is this a gospel
huxter? No, NHK scheduled 15-17, 250 kW, 152 degrees via FRANCE. Is Tunisia
still on 17735 from 1600? If so there must be a one-hour collision (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11510, Dec 26 at 1420-1433, Denge Kurdistan with vocal
music more lo-key than usual. This is around the peak time for it, always
dropping off after 1500, presumably via PRIDNESTROVYE. I am wondering if we are
getting this long-path, as there isn`t much else from Europe on 25m at this
time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 540, Dec 26 at 0627 UT tune-in, once again ID without even trying
from La Ranchera de Paquim?, Chihuahua, also mentioning FM 90.7, and XETX is
dominating the frequency; where`s XEWA? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 21600, Dec 26 at 1459, strong carrier is on soon enough
that The Mighty KBC sign-on at 1500 is not upcut today. Names 7 DJs to be heard
during the hour, 8 minutes each; usual rock music of the 60s. At 1532, The
Emperor Rosko is signing off. 1537 ad for CB radios for European truckers. Very
good until 1559*. It`s the last of this series of special broadcasts to North
America, but I expect there will be more. A lot better here via Wertachtal,
GERMANY, than the weekly 00-02 UT Sunday via Bulgaria on 9450 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1120, Dec 26 at 0623 UT, KMOX has a 3 Hz SAH from KEOR open
carrier, daytimer in Sperry which has been transmitting nonstop for weeks, with
Mexican music, sometimes also modulating at night, never with any
announcements, let alone IDs. Still hearing it in the daytime too without KMOX
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1170, Dec 26 at 1410 UT as I tune by KFAQ, talkhost is apologizing
for ``signal less than desired in the past hour, but OK now``. Was not
listening then, but it was also ``less than desired`` 24 hours earlier as I
reported (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAINT HELENA. The final broadcast of Radio Saint Helena, 1548 kHz, was to be
18-24 UT Dec 25, to be replaced in January by a different station called SHBC.
There were hopes that RSH could be webcast on this sad occasion, or even SW
broadcast, but neither occurred. The SHBC webcast produced only its own 7+
minute daily newscast on demand, as checked several times during those hours,
instead of the hoped-for RSH relay, with a pre-produced special to have
included greetings and farewells solicited from DXers who used to hear their SW
specials. Maybe that will be availablized eventually archived online? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 9700, Dec 26 at 0650, fair signal, Turkish service from TRT signing
off with IS playing continuously without the pauses heard on foreign language
services, and furthermore, announcer talking over it. On piano-like keyboard,
and I`m not positive it is the same version heard elsewhen, but still no
variations. It runs 26 notes with three at the end, until 0658*. I am thinking
that the usual version has four at the end; need to reconfirm (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9705, Dec 25 at 2219 and 2309, modulation spike spurs from WTWW-2,
9905 are still centered around here in a spread of 70 kHz or so, QRMing many
other stations. Since the WTWW-3 transmitter is not in use on 12105, why not
substitute it on 9905 for the time being and suspend the problem until it can
be fixed? But it seems only listeners at a distance are hearing the spikes
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 880, Dec 26 at 1348 UT, in the E-W null of N-S KRVN NE, not KLRG AR
or KHAC NM as usually heard, but something in Spanish. Ads for St. Charles, and
then for Granite City, Illinois, all by super-hype voice actors, a tactic which
repels rather than attracts me, unlike most consumer targets??
Anyhow this is obviously per NRC AM Log, WIJR in Highland IL, (St Louis
market), on 1700 watt day power; night and day patterns are both aimed
southwest, but I don`t recall hearing this before. I do remember when it was
WCBW, but it`s been WIJR since 08/15/2006. Less confusion with WCBS (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1000, Dec 26 at 1357 UT, ``KKIM family weather`` jingle, local
forecasts including hi of 50 in Albuquerque, ``New Mexico`s Christian heritage
station``. Different slogan than listed ``Christian talk radio``. No problem
with KTOK OKC nulled, 1 Hz away. Dec ABQ LSR is not until 1400, but they are
obviously already on 10 kW non-direxional day power, rather than 38 watts night
or even worse PSRA of 12.2 watts. Hey, aren`t Christians supposed to be ethical
and law-abiding? Not when it impedes God`s Work! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1010, Dec 26 at 1404 UT, ABC News ending, then ``1010 KSIR News`` by
YL named Jamie Monticelli (sp?); clear in null of other stuff, led presumably
by KXEN. KSIR is in Fort Morgan CO, COL Brush. Official sunrise in Dec & Jan is
not until 1415 UT, but likely already on 25 kW day power; night power is only
280 watts, and nothing about a PSRA. Same pattern day and night with major
lobes at 85 and 250 degrees, but not a null towards us to the southeast (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN. 7250, Dec 26 at 0617, Vatican Radio has again turned on a
transmitter much earlier than scheduled, as I hear Swedish, 0618 wrapping up
with ID, ``Laudetur Iesus Christus``, 0619 IS, 0620 ``LIC`` and opening
Albanian with ``Ju Flet Vatikan`` --- neither of which is supposed to be on SW
any more at all. A few minutes earlier 7250 was not no the air so did not start
at 0600 when Swedish began. And by 0620 the other ones, 3975, 6075 and 9645 are
not yet on before scheduled 0630 Latin mass with multilingual introduxion. At
0652 check, 3975 is in well, but no 6075 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Re 7390.
Yes, came across this strong Firedrake music jamming here in Germany around
1430 UT Dec 26. \\ VOA Cantonese via Saipan on slightly odd frequency
9705.030 kHz, on mid winter path also to Europe S=8 signal.
INS at same time 1440 UT in Indonesian 9525.892 kHz.
Three stns on 4750v "in parallel" at 1450 UT,
only CNR1 to identify on even 4750, two others on 4749.954 and 4749.990 kHz,
maybe Indonesia or Bangladesh ? or even QPBS Xining ? - a puzzle.
4765.058 Tajik Radio #1 from Yangi Yul, weak at 1500 UT.
4780.074 Voice of Russia via Yangi Yul TJK, S=7 not much strong at 1510 UT.
4850.000 Hoarse audio from CNR 8th progr PBS Urumqi Xinjiang in Kazakh
S=9+5dB into Germany.
5075 PJZS Voice of Pujiang, Shanghai, at 1520 UT Dec 26.
\\ rather strong on 3280 kHz, but much much weaker on \\ 4950 kHz.
According Nagoya Aoki list only 15 kW of power.
Probably Shanghai - Taopuzhen" (utility site) at 24 53 46 N 118 48 17 E,
but recent splendid QSL card of Shanghai skyline to Ist?n Heged?s in Hungary
shows TX site as "Zhenru Town, Shanghai", a downtown location "houses as far
as the eye can see".
Voice of Pujiang, Floor 11, Radio Building, No. 1376 Hongqiao Road,
Changning District, Shanghai 200051, P.R. of China.
I guess meant for sailors and fishermen off the Shanghai coastline?

Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
December 27 2012
Happy Holidays!
We hope you've enjoyed a safe and happy Christmas with family and
friends, and as the end of 2012 approaches, and if you've enjoyed our
radio history features and information at www.radioheritage.com
during the year, ask if you'll consider making a small donation
towards meeting our our final operating costs for the year?
Our shortfall for the last 4 months of 2012 to December 31 is
$4,740.37 and if 190 people will donate $25 each, this will fully
clear those bills and let us start 2013 afresh.
You can read much more about what we do to keep radio memories safe
at www.radioheritage.net/story277.asp and some of our success stories
in 2012. You might be surprised at how many different aspects of
radio history we cover, and the many radio station guides we now
offer for free community use.
We've secured 34% of the budget for the last 4 months, and could do
with a little help from our friends to cover the rest... and $25 from
190 good people will help us achieve this.
Like any household, we have regular outgoings just to stay above
water and these come to about $400 a week, securing our office space,
storage, insurance [our premiums have almost doubled this past year],
electricity, internet connections, stationery, computer repairs [we
had a total melt down of a PC in early December and an unexpected
bill!], library additions and all the other little things that add up
over the year...
We pay our volunteers nothing, despite all the good work they do, and
we've asked radio stations to contribute [but they rarely do], and
will again be trying to find some commercial sponsors in 2013 to
reduce the burden on people like you who give so generously to
support this non-profit educational and history resource and make it
available for free to the community.
Users of our website have increased a lot during the year, with
almost 20,000 Australians alone now visiting us, along with thousands
more from the USA, New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom and India,
so if just 190 of you can find $25 at this time of year, we will all
be very grateful.
You can use the Paypal donate button on any page at
www.radioheritage.com and all donations received before January 31
2013 go into the draw to win over $240 worth of fabulous books, with
existing donors who can help us a little more also qualifying for the
draw of a free World Radio TV Handbook 2013 shipped worldwide.
Thanks for considering us at this busy time of the year, and for
staying with us over the years, we hope you'll join us again in 2013
and enjoy more new features, stories, memories and radio history
audio, images and collections and, of course, our very popular free
radio station guides.
So, again, we have to find $4740.37 to clear the final bills for the
year, and if you can find $25 as one of 190 good friends this week,
we'll be very grateful, enter you in the draw to win $240 worth of
donated great reading, and do our very best to find some commercial
sponsors in 2013 to reduce the need to make these sorts of requests.
Of course, all donors are acknowledged on our Roll of Honor and as a
registered non-profit, we file annual financial and other reports
with our government charities regulator. Full contact details are at
the bottom of every page of our website www.radioheritage.com.
Warm wishes

GEORGIA [Abkhazia separated area] 9535 December 27 heard around
