transmissions in Tibetan at 1215-1330 UT, is ALSO STILL ON AIR service at
AIR's Nepali service later at 1330-1430 UT.
11669.966 Strange odd signal of AIR Dari service 1315-1415 UT, requested is
Bangalore tx center, but I guess such odd frequency occurs from Goa Panaji
site instead. S=9+25dB even in eastern Europe remote units.
PAKISTAN 11645 At 1400 UT totally distorted signal of Urdu sce from RP
Islamabad. S=9+20dB sidelobe in Germany.
MYANMAR 5985.836 Myanmar Radio Rangoon footprint at 1325 UT, and at
1329:05 UT Yamata tx switched on test tone, into Shiokaze Japanese program
at 1330:15 UT.
UZBEKISTAN 6070 Vatican Radio via Tashkent muslim country Uzbekistan
relay site. In Russian language on ear-piercing loud level, nice modulation.
Requested 1330-1400 UT on hfcc database.

** AUSTRALIA. 9580, Jan 8 circa 1350, RA is interviewing a bubbly
Brit/Canuckess, Mysti Vine, lamenting that there are so few black burlesque
artistes. Axually, I think she enjoys standing out; concluding with reference
to her site, http://www.comicgoddess.com --- ``The World's Only Black
Burlesque, Variety & Striptease Comedic Artist...(probably)``. Checking the
gallery, she may be sufficient, but not especially busty (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Jan 8, 1456-1500: none found 12-17 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 17730, Jan 8 at 1425, RHC is dead air; by 1521 I can detect it`s JBM -
just barely modulated, so the winner today is still SAUDI ARABIA [q.v.] on
17715. All other RHC frequencies noticed were nominal on 17, 15, 13, 11 and 9
MHz bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 16648-16673, Jan 8 at 1458, strong over-the-horizon radar pulses,
presumed from here in typical 25-kHz bandwidth, tough luck for any marine users
of these frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE. 17615, Jan 8 at 1604, a much weaker station has inherited frequency
from SAUDI ARABIA [q.v.] which broadcast dead air for at least a sesquihour.
African music and 1605 announcement. HFCC shows RFI in Hausa, 500 kW, 170
degrees from Issoudun at 1600-1700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 11880, Jan 7 at 2150, NHK just barely audible under RHC, also
in Portuguese. Nothing on 11960 yet, which Ivo Ivanov says is supposed to
replace it via GUIANA FRENCH, but without a date. He must have spotted this in
HFCC which claims:
11960 2130 2200 14,15,16 GUF 250 185 0 151 1234567 281012 310313 D Por F NHK
NHK 19202
but the start date is obviously false as we all know NHK has really been on
11880 from 28 Oct before RHC usurped it. This is from the 04 January HFCC
edition, still the latest one posted as of 08 Jan! The same transmission still
showed on 11880 in the previous HFCC we saved, dated 2712.
As an outlaw nation, Cuba refuses to participate in HFCC --- those who do are
thus at risk, also for inadvertently choosing frequencies RHC is already on but
never registered. Thus monitoring of true band occupancy is necessary, not just
looking at incomplete listings (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MALI. 5995, Jan 8 at 0621, poor and undermodulated signal with some music,
presumed ORTM, scheduled to sign-on at 0555. Tho I tune around just about every
night at this hour, seldom enough signal to notice. Perhaps slightly enhanced
by northern-latitude propagational attenuation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 540, Jan 8 at 0641 UT, I have to wait almost a minute after tune-in
until XETX, La Ranchera de Paquim?, Chihuahua, exclaims an ID; also CCI from
another SS, but unseems from XEWA direxion (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 5940, Jan 8 at 0625, pop music, poor signal, but better than DGS/PMS
5935 WWCR which tonight is barely audible unlike other nights inbooming, as
Tennessee has positioned itself in the skip zone from here, while further
signals are making it. At first suspected Brazil, but then at 0626 announcement
in Russian, so it`s R. Rossii, Magadan already from eastern Siberia at
150+East. Then there is a LAH (low audible heterodyne), which probably is from
Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 17615, Jan 8 at 1426, BSKSA is today`s purveyor of open
carrier dead air --- but with a slight whine. At tune-in first figured it was
just another pregnant pause during Qur`an, but nothing ensued. Left a receiver
on this and never any modulation until 1557*. Taking over 17615 then is FRANCE,
q.v. So that`s at least a sesquihour of Riyadh burning 500 kW for nothing,
likely two sesquihours, scheduled 1300-1600. Axuallly much more than 3
megawatt-hours wasted, considering the inherent inefficiency of input vs output
power. Meanwhile other Saudi frequencies were nominal: 21505, 17895, 17705. It
seems too many SW stations have no ``silent sensor`` setup to instantly ring
alarm bells when the modulation vanishes. Who cares? And Allah forbid that
anyhuman at the studio or transmitter site should axually listen to their own
output on an air monitor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [and non]. 7250, Jan 8 at 0618, poor signal in Swedish from Vatican
Radio, 0619 IS thrice, 0620 ``Laudetur Iesus Christus; ju flet Radio
Vatikana``, i.e. Albanian. Once again these two services are back on SW, tho
per own schedules supposed to have been banished to MW 1260 only. Anyhow,
Tuesday is reconfirmed as a day the 0600 broadcast in Swedish instead of
Finnish. 7250 has only poor signal today, and the MUF has plunged below 9 MHz.
Did not check //s until 0631 in multilangs preceding Latin mass, and now 3975
has the best signal from Europe on any band, slightly better than 6075; even
better than Romania English on 7310 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Since SW from Europe was subpar in MUF, I was a bit surprised to
find a het on 549 as I started DXing MW at 0649 UT Jan 8, but then detected
many more trans-Atlantic carriers at this somewhat late hour, not so late for
midwinter; in stepping up 9 kHz on the DX-398 with internal antenna only,
generally looping NE/SW, with slightly offset BFO in USB or LSB modes, so the
typical het pitches could be easily spotted thru 0654 UT, found:
549, 612, 675, 684, 693, 747, 882, 909, 1035, 1053, 1089, 1143, 1152, 1206,
1215, 1224, 1305, 1314, 1413, 1557, 1584, 1602. Maybe this was not so
surprising considering how well VATICAN was doing on 3975 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
