INDONESIA. 6125.22, RRI Nabire (presumed), 0758-0829*, Jan 16. This
frequency was first noted being used in late November by Atsunori Ishida.
Thanks also to Dave Valko who first confirmed the offset frequency last
December.
All dialogue till 0820 and the start of non-stop EZL pop songs till suddenly
off. Had hoped they would switch over to their other frequency of 7289.93v,
but they didn?t and that frequency was silent till past 0930; poor with
reception slowly improving (fading in). Atsunori?s website conforms to my
observations.

** AUSTRALIA. After 0700 UT Jan 17, finding R. Australia all over the place,
initially with Oz news, on 9475 at 0701; then at 0708 I compare 12080 and 11945
again: the two are slightly out of synch, but so close I have a hard time
deciding which one is the echo: finally: 12080, a split second behind 11945, so
good evidence it is really Brandon following satellite feed from Shepparton (or
Melbourne, if nearby Shep has a microwave/landline feed). This time 12080
registers S9+18 and 11945 S9+20, despite 11945 allegedly running ten times the
power of 12080. Now 15240 is also on unlike last night; 13630 is best, and also
heard on 7410 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11780, Jan 16 at 2153, 2217 and Jan 17 at 0027 chex, RNA/RNB is
nominal in AM without wideband noise. But at next check, 0432 Jan 17, heavy
noise surrounding 11780 which is still audible, out to plus/minus 50 kHz or so.
Not the same as the wideband noise of previous nights, but RNB still has big
problems affecting its unfortunate neighbors.
Robert Lafore, location unknown, had reported earlier on Jan 16: ``Likewise a
great signal from 11780 at 2207, the noise started for a moment, pretty much
covering RNA. When I hear the noise start, RNA's carrier remains steady here.
Several more pulses of noise at 2208 and 2209. It slowly builds, then abruptly
off.``
Was this like what Robert was hearing at 2207-2209, and was anyone else hearing
it in the meantime? I asked the dxldyg. Steve Luce, Houston TX, replied:
``I'm hearing much the same thing here in Houston at a 0500 check Jan 17. Noise
is heaviest +/- 20 kHz either side of 11780, with the upper side the loudest.
Weak noise extends down to 11710 and up to 11860. RNA signal is there, but
covered by the noise. At an earlier check at 0130, the RNA signal was strong
and clean, no sign of any noise.``
Earlier on Jan 16, Fl?vio PY2ZX Archangelo in Brasil told us, ``I made a phone
call yesterday to EBC, the federal government company that coordinates several
radio and TV stations, including RNA. I?m not sure if the problem is fully
corrected, but now the technical sector for sure have the feedback. EBC is
studying buying new SW transmitters, including capability for digital upgrade
[sic] for DRM modes.``
By my next check at 0614 Jan 17, 11780 had been put out of its (and our)
misery, off the air, while 6180 continued normally. May I suggest that they
keep it off the air unless they can prevent the additional noise radiation
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11880, Jan 16 at 2153, RHC supposed to be Portuguese but instead
silence, dead air; ho hum, another SNAFU at this amateurish operation, which
has never really got its act together in 52 years. Recheck at 2217, now it`s
modulating, in English. The 21-23 transmission is allegedly aimed at Africa,
and I understand it`s poorly heard in Europe, too far offbeam, but it`s always
a bigsig here off the back.
9810, Jan 17 at 0617, RHC fair signal still going in Spanish instead of closing
at 0600. No other lingerers found, as Spanish is supposed to be totally off SW
after that hour.
Checking out leapfrog mixing products involving the overkill four English
transmitters, 6010, 6060, 6125 and 6165, Jan 17 at 0622, which I confirmed all
synchronized so from same site: poor but readable between fades on 6270 (6060
over 6165); also audible on 6205 (6125 over 6165). Could not be sure of one on
6320 which would be 6010 over 6165, and also have to watch out for
receiver-produced overloads, which disappear with attenuation unlike 6270 and
6205.
17730, Jan 17 at 1347 is today`s missing frequency, but very good signal on
17580 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 9905, Jan 17 at 0616, R. Cairo is unusually holding up over night
path, good signal but Arabic distorted as always (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 6055, Thursday Jan 17 at 1335, R. Nikkei in English --- OM speaker
for a minute about Japan`s relations with China. Then interrupted by YL in
Japanese, and another OM starts reading a text about how PM Abe should visit
China like Nixon did. She takes this apart, keeps interrupting to explain the
English words and phrases (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 610, Jan 17 at 0639 UT, music and soon ID as ``La Primera``, which
means it`s XEBX, Sabinas, Coahuila, 500 watts at night, as IRCA, WRTH and Cant?
all agree is the only such Mexislogan on 610 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 720, Jan 17 at 1444 UT, Spanish talk fades in mixing with ``Jew`s
harp``, see UNIDENTIFIED. KSAH San Antonio? But it`s not sports talk. 1447 ``El
Extremo 720`` and timecheck sure sounds like 8:47 = CST, not 7:47 = MST.
Mexican federal PSAs, 1448 ``regresamos, 7-20 Extremo``, into music,
``Quiz?s3`` on piano. This slogan applies to XEJCC Ciudad Ju?rez, Chihuahua,
1/1 kW per IRCA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1050, Jan 17 at 1413, Spanish from N/S assumed to be XEG until the
DJ mentions Kansas a couple times! Could there be an SS up there I haven`t
noticed? But then mentions Nuevo Laredo, plays a canci?n from 1991/92y, CST
TCs, more music, 1421 ``La Ranchera 10-50``, clincher being SEP PSA from the
Mexican federal government, so it really is XEG Monterrey NL in broad sunlight
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 4170, Jan 17 at 1330, weak third harmonic of local KCRC 1390 which
is always there and to be ignored, but now I notice that audio from only other
local, KGWA 960 is mixing with it, strange (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. 9840, Jan 17 at 0615, Russian with flutter, so here`s a R.
Rossii broadcast which still exists, but had not heard for a few months. Spring
must be on the way with propagation picking up! Or rather solar flux of 137 as
of Jan 16 per WWV, which has nothing to do with earthly hemispheric seasons; K
index at 06 was 3. HFCC shows this at 04-07, 250 kW, 260 degrees from a Moskva
site.
BTW, lacking any B-12 info from REE, HFCC still lists old B11 info right next
to RR: 00-04, 100 kW, 110 degrees from Cariari on 9840, a frequency which AFAIK
they have never really used (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TUNISIA. 7335, Jan 17 at 0621, IWT is back on with Arabic music and talk,
having been absent 24 hours earlier; also for a few more minutes // on 7275.
0717 recheck, 7335 still on and in (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 9820, Jan 17 at 0617, TRT Turkish talk matching always stronger //
9700, and with bad het from always off-frequency Brazilian on low side of 9820
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 9705, Jan 17 at 1354, English lesson, subject bowling (with
SFX) and how the expression ``put your best foot forward`` is not to be taken
literally. This is VOA Cantonese via SAIPAN at 13-15; no jamming audible, but a
SAH maybe signifies it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1652 monitoring: ready just in time for first
broadcast on WRMI 9955, UT Thursday January 17 at 0430. Barely confirmable on
9955, under wall-of-noise jamming; tnx a lot, Arnie! Easily confirmable on

** U S A. 5935, 5890, 4840, 3215, Jan 17 at 0627, WWCR is missing from all four
frequencies! Power failure, or urgent transmitter work, like to get rid of
spurs, which requires retuning the traps? That`ll be the day. What a welcome
respite from crap like Alex Jones on 4840. I can`t believe all the national
attention this gun-nut has enjoyed since yelling at Piers Morgan on CNN. His
rants were certainly nothing new to SWLs, part of the tremendous disservice
WWCR renders to humanity. Next check at 1344, 7490 is on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 660, Jan 17 at 1452 UT, KSKY Dallas is hard to null, but with KKOB
inbooming on 770 more than an hour after sunrise, it`s time to look for KTNN
Window Rock AZ --- yes, there it is with Burger King ad mentioning half a dozen
towns where that exists in Navajoland. And it`s immediately! Followed by a
McDonalds ad also mentioning its locations. Convenient juxtaposition for the
comparative eater, but I doubt either of these fierce competitors would approve
of such adjacency. KSKY makes SAH of 52/minute = 0.87 Hz with KTNN. Then news
in English of AZ such as marijuana bust in Bagdad, and then of NM. Seems the
cast is sponsored by the latter eatery, featuring a 300-calorie breakfast. At
1457 has switched to Navajo language, and 1508 still audible with Navajo
chanting. KTNN official sunrise in January is 1430 UT; February, 1400 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 720, Jan 17 at 1456 UT, talk in English, 1458 call-in re guns, to
257-KDWN and then full ID as ``Newstalk 720, KDWN``, meanwhile mixing with UNID
``Jews-harp`` music, 1500 the 7 o`clock news. Nice to hear KDWN Las Vegas NV
again, now on legal 50 kW day pattern starting at 1445 in January; 1430 in
February (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 880, Jan 17 at 1435 UT, *still* open carrier/dead air E/W with SAH in
null of N/S KRVN NE, no doubt KLRG Arkansas, more 50+ kWh wasted. Do they know
about this in Clearwater? Seems like its OC is still barely there at 1503, SAH
mixing with religion in English, presumably KHAC AZ/NM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 920, Jan 17 at 1433 UT, announcer refers to
http://slapstupidpeople.com That URL doesn`t work, so maybe meant
http://slapstupid.com/ Then promo/ad for upcoming comedy night at Eagles in
Lamar, so KLMR in Colorado. Apparently Eagles Lodge is a hotel rather than a
fraternal organization (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 930, Jan 17 at 1423 UT with WKY carefully nulled, an interview in
English about highway projects with someone representing ``O-Dot`` --- I could
swear that`s mentioned several times, and if I were not certain WKY was still
in Spanish as ``La Indomable``, I would have assumed it was about the Oklahoma
Department of Transportation.
``Our state`` is in the Midwest, center of a 500-mile radius. But finally
referred to Missouri instead of Oklahoma, so must be KWOC Poplar Bluff, close
to a right angle from WKY. 1432 fades back in mentioning ``our state`s sales
tax`` is only 4.2%. (The MO state rate is really 4.225% not including
additional local taxes.)
930, by 1429 UT Jan 17, KWOC is losing out to something else in the WKY null,
ad for Southwest Exteriors, phone 828-something, which leads directly to San
Antonio TX, so KLUP again; and 1431 San Antonio mentioned (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1030, Jan 17 at 1417 UT, lengthy traffic report for ``the metro``,
mentioning I-35, I-635 and 435, and finally ``the Kansas side``, so it has to
be KCWJ Blue Springs MO (Kansas City market), supposedly religious. 3.6 Hz SAH
from another one, definitely religious, probably still KCTA Corpus Christi TX.
I had quickly ruled out DFW, since it`s ``The Metroplex`` and tho there is an
incomplete ring around Dallas, I-635, there is no 435. Likewise could be
Minneapolis-St Paul, except all the rings there end in -94. I decry such
crutches as ``the metro`` instead of mentioning a city`s real name. Oklahoma
City is also ``the metro``, a 50% saving in syllables every time it`s uttered
by lazy broadcasters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1070, Jan 17 at 1409 UT, usual fast SAH in almost-null of
off-frequency KLIO Wichita, but this time it`s not KNX: ``Hello, you`re on
DIA``, Bobby taking quick phone calls, also mentioning full call WDIA. He and
they all sound like they are black. Topix all over the place. Bobby is
defeatist about ever stemming violence, so why try? This is the 50/5 kW Memphis
TN I don`t often hear. Day pattern has major lobe to the south, but a minor
lobe to the west:
http://transition.fcc.gov/ftp/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/646-6856.pdf
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1260, Jan 17 at 1404 UT, ads in Spanish, so KDFC Boone IA is the
usual suspect, quickly confirmed by area code 515 mentions for Maestro
Sebasti?n and others (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** UZBEKISTAN [and non]. 7505, Jan 17 at 1345, S Asian language giving address
ending in @twr.in and then childish song/hymn, fair signal. HFCC shows TWR, 100
kW, 131 degrees via Tashkent, 1315-1615 to CIRAF 41 = S Asia. For the exact
language we have to look elsewhere: EiBi shows it`s merely Hindi, altho the
start and stop times vary by day of week.
BTW, don`t you believe WRNO claims that they broadcast 24 hours on ``7505``.
Registered, so available for 22-16 UT, but still only on at 02-05 on 7506.4,
beyond legal FCC frequency tolerance (Glenn hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [and non]. 7249, Jan 17 at 0629, carrier is hetting 7250 bells from
Vatican Radio, presumably American ham protesting this broadcast intrusion (but
sanxioned as it`s not aiming at us), off and back on during VR opening the mass
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 720, Jan 17 at 1441 UT, continuous ``Jew`s harp`` twanging, goes
on and on past 1447 as I am DXing XEJCC and again at 1456 mixing with KDWN; see
MEXICO and USA. Can`t imagine WGN doing this. Surely not some local device,
sounds just like intentional amplitude modulation from somestation. Only other
720 around here is KSAH Universal City TX. Possibly they were out of order?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 930, Jan 17 at 1429, as KWOC MO is giving way to KLUP TX [see
logs under USA], I hear what sounds like ``KRDZ``. Except that`s 1440 in Wray
CO. I know of no relationship between that and KRKY Granby CO, the nearest 930
in the state, which I have heard before, different ownerships. On 930 itself,
no similar/fuzzy calls to KRDZ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 2660, Jan 17 at 1318, JBA carrier, and bits of music. Before QRT
a sextahour earlier, I had tuned to this to remind me to check it first thing
in the morning for likely 1330 harmonic I had previously detected when
concentrating on 2910 third harmonic of XEVT. Really need to monitor 2660
deeper into the night, but likely further north and/or west than XEVT since
that fades out a semihour earlier despite much stronger signal. Could well be
US of American rather than US of Mexican. Also, comparing to 1660 signals, 2660
is very slightly on the hi side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 5760.5-SSB, Jan 17 at 1334, intermittent Spanish 2-way
I notice on the side of AFN Guam, active today 5765-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

Just under 14 days to go
________________________
In two weeks time the winners of the $240 Book Prize Draw at the
Radio Heritage Foundation will be drawn.
Make sure of your chance to win.
All donors between September 1 2012 and January 31 2013 are eligible
and help cover the operational costs so that everyone who visits the
website www.radioheritage.com can continue to do so for free.
With every visit costing 50 cents to handle and not everyone able to
contribute, there's now a new Pay it Forward option starting at $5 so
those who can, make it possible for at least 10 people to enjoy the
hundreds of features, photos and radio station guides for free.
This option continues the co-operative tradition of the project for
the past 9 years, and those who can donate more this month will help
cover the $4,420 shortfall currently facing the foundation since
January 1 last year.
On the bright side, about 80% of the operational charges for the
period have already been covered, and the remaining 20% is the
challenge to achieve before January 31.
During 2012, visitors to the website grew by almost 75% and come from
many parts of the world. The top 5 visitor cities are Sydney,
Melbourne, Brisbane, Auckland, Adelaide and Perth, with London, Los
Angeles and New Delhi also featuring strongly.
You can now see a map of where visitors since January 6 have come
from at www.radioheritage.com too.
The Phoenix Islands Protected Area is now recommended by the Radio
Heritage Foundation, and you'll see more about this conservation
project online today. Canton [now Kanton] Island was home of KIBS and
WXLE for many years, and the region is home to one of the most
beautiful coral reefs in the world.
To be in to win the $240 worth of books you simply have to become a
donor before January 31, and for those who make multiple gifts, there
is a bonus book prize as well. Well worth the effort!
The 2013 New Year Message at www.radioheritage.com has some important
news and information for you as well, so do check it out.
>From April 1 2013, commercial and radio industry sponsorships are in
negotiation to cover 65% of future operating costs so that the burden
of meeting all operational costs is removed from donors.
In the meantime you're invited to Pay it Forward, in the knowledge
that every 50c you donate makes it possible for one person to enjoy
the content at www.radioheritage.com at no charge.
And if you'll contribute towards clearing the $4,420 shortfall in
operational funding since January 1 2012, that would be very helpful.
There's a lot planned for 2013, do stay with us, and enjoy more
features, improved and more radio station guides, and much more at
www.radioheritage.com.
Again, our very best wishes to you in 2013.

GEORGIA [Abkhazia separated area] 9535.000 Jan 18th heard around
0730-0745 UT on very tiny S=6 signal strength level in peaks. R. Abkhaziya
in Abkhaz from ex-jamming Sukhumi 5 kW shortwave signal there. Program on SW
ends around 0800-0812 UT varying.
At SDR unit on Twente NL University rx much weaker at S=4 to 6 level, just
above threshold.
Shortwave transmissions from Sukhumi are irregularly, not every day on SW.
Listeners from outside Europe can listen too via

Someone with Russian national background should ask the station to extend
their shortwave service by one hour til 0910 UT, due of recent Russia
STANDARD TIME change, to allow regular morning reception in central and
western Europe too.
But signal increased here in Germany suddenly around 0754 UT, stopped
transmission today at 0816:22 UT.
Shortwave transmissions from Sukhumi are irregularly, not every day on SW.
