** CHINA. Firedrake June 26 before 1300:
13795, poor at 1242 with Kuwaiti CCI, i.e. RFA Tibetan
All the rest on former FD frequencies bear CNR1 jamming:
13820, very poor at 1242; Aoki shows only a SOH Taiwan 0.1 kW nuisance
13830, poor at 1242; vs RFA Tibetan via Tajikistan
none in the 12s, 14s, 15s except 15195
16100, poor at 1246; none in the 17s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE. 21580 & 21690, June 26 at 1227, RFI in French about futebol in
Brasil, poor signals, but nice to be getting some 13m propagation again. Both
are 500 kW from Issoudun to Africa, 155 and 185 degrees respectively. Spain
21610 also audible, but not Kuwait 21540 or Saudi 21505. SF at 12 was 109, K
index 1, no storms lately or predicted, says WWV (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) See also ROMANIA
** MEXICO. 660, June 26 at 0600 UT, Chihuahua anthem is ending, then full ID
but for FM side only, XHACB, 98.9, La Lupe, Ciudad Delicias, street address.
Quite by chance my only two XE logs today are both from this town which is a
frequent visitor. Cant? shows this one is:
660 XEACB La Lupe + FM 98.9 Cd. Delicias, Chih. 3,000 1,000
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1180, June 26 at 0544 UT, from music to Soriana ad (national
department store chain), 0545 ``Que Buena, Ciudad Delicias, Chihuahua, 11,
44``. OK with Cuba nulled and KFAQ 1170 Tulsa IBOC noise minimized as much as
possible. Cant? shows this is:
1180 XEJK Ke buena + FM 95.3 Cd. Delicias, Chih. 5,000 1,500
I also had two logs of this last October (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Little spurts of sporadic E, UT June 26 at 0120 UT, more video on ch
4 than 2 or 3, with antenna SSW. Lots of Es on the 6m map across the USA, q.v.
Same frustrating situation on channel 2, June 26, bits at 1508, 1518, 1530 UT.
1532 UT on 3, Televisa net-5 toon fades in, most likely XEZ-TV.
1543 UT on 2, signals surge with more CCI, between Televisa net-5 with toon, 5
bug LR well inside the corner (audio out of synch with ch 3 which is a couple
words behind), and also on ch 2, Televisa net-2 with star bug UR;
1548 UT on 4, MUF up to here with Spanish ad V & A for te con jugo; more to
come? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 88.1 MHz, during Es opening on TV, June 26 at 0205 UT, I also
monitor the lowest almost-open FM channel here for signs of skip, but instead I
hear some fast Morse code! It turns out this repeats slightly over every seven
minutes at same weak signal level, carrier on only during the code, and
doubtful the mode is FM, certainly not broadcast FM, and obviously local rather
than DX. Also heard at 0219, 0226, 0233, 0308, 0315, 0323, 0344, 0358. Never
noticed anything like this before. Probably an idle utility repeater ID on a
spur, harmonic or image on the ATS-909 with whip antenna only. I`ll need to get
a recording of it for repeated plays in order to copy it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU [non]. 5980, June 26 at 0057, NO signal detectable from R. Chaski (my
mentioning how reliable it was must have been a jinx!). Nor any past 0103 when
it would have autocutoff. Yet, other S American signals on 49-50 and even 60m
are above average, e.g. Bolivia 6135v, 5952v, Brasil 5970v, plus numerous
carriers and some audio on 60m. Of course those from below the Equator are
getting a wintry headstart (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 21500, June 26 at 0533, RRI in English news, fair peaks but deep
fades, the OSOB. It pays to check even 13m in the nightmiddle, especially
around summer solstice, when hi-latitude paths are partly or mostly illuminated
by the midnite sun. This is Tiganeshti intended for Australia, while // 17760
Galbeni could not be heard; third channel is 9700 to WEu, which has been
unusable lately tho quite good earlier in the spring. Also 11870-11875-11880 in
DRM, unchecked (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 15775, IBB Tinang, PHILIPPINES, is still having trouble with
this transmitter for the VOA Korean service, also USward at 21 degrees: June 26
at 1237 it`s just barely modulated, can`t even recognize the language but then
make it // and synch with 7225 which funxions OK. At 1238 the 15775 carrier
cuts off and back on; off again for a minute from 1250:15, and when it returns,
now it`s modulating. So at least they are trying to get it working today (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 13152-USB, June 26 at 0525, roboYL with notice of a missing vessel in
the Indian Ocean, last contact in January 2013. ID as WLO and KLB, ``end of
broadcast`` at 0526. Schedule here http://www.shipcom.com/frequencies.html
shows it`s WLO Mobile AL, not KLB Kent WA, on ITU channel 1226 +, ``ship
receive`` paired with 12305 ``ship transmit``. The + applies to most but not
all their frequencies: ``+ denotes Voice Guard, Calling, Paging, Working and
Synthesized Voice WX announcement.``
Has it been announcing this every day/broadcast for 5 months? It now must
amount to a memorial (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Ch A2, June 26 at 0122 UT, with lots of Es on the USA 6-meter maps,
it looks like the MUF would most favor something from the NNW, so that`s where
I aim and sit on channel 2 DTV. Now plus a few minutes onward, I do get a `bad`
yellow signal bar from time to time, but never breaks into decode or PSIP ID.
Most likely it`s KOTA ``3`` on RF2 from Rapid City SD, the only full-power
station in that area; altho a bit close for frequent Es, I did see it many
times in the analog era.
I have had very little luck with Es DTV DX --- not enough gain on the antenna
and/or Zenith box, I guess, along with not being well-positioned
geographically. E.g. KNOP-2 in NE is too close. I had that a few times by tropo
in analog (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 4915, June 27 at 0053, scanning 60m band for carriers from S America
while awaiting the Chaski-cut on 5980: standout signal on 4915 with music, soon
Portuguese announcement with yelled ID as ``A R?dio Daqui!!`` [in Portuguese,
unlike Spanish a final -i is automatically stressed without an accent; if a
previous syllable is really stressed, that one requires an accent]. Rated SINPO
35443, while many other mostly ZYs (presumably) were little but detectable
carriers on 4815, 4825, 4885, 4895, 4905, 4925, 4975, 5015, 5035. The last is
surely R. Aparecida, but never can pull any audio past 5040 Cuba.
10 kW, ZYF691 on 4925 in Goi?s, Goi?nia, shouldn`t be any stronger than
numerous other 60m Brazilians, but once again it overcomes like my April 14
``pipeline`` log. Is it a propagational fluke, do they have some greatly
superior antenna, or running overpowered? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Sporadic E analog TV DX opening June 26 continued from previous
report, all times UT:
1601 on 4, Televisa net-5 with toon
1602 on 3, net-5 with toon, better than on 4; XEZ?
1602 on 4, video shifts to another station than net-5
1621 on 4, net-5 toon fades in again; oval 5 bug in LR at edge
1629 on 4, now it`s Televisa net-4, with the f bug in LR, and large legend
behind anchor on set: MATUTINO EXPRESS, must be newscast
1631 on 4, seems same station with graphic PARALELO 23, which is roughly the
middle of M?xico from Mazatl?n to Zacatecas to San Lu?s Potos?. Aguascalientes
is closer to the 22nd parallel ---
1644 on 4, PSA from Instituto Estatal Electoral de --- Aguascalientes, urging
people to vote on July 7. Always pay attention to such PSAs on TV and radio,
especially when an elexion is impending. It may be just a generic federal IFE
PSA, but it could also nail down the state you are DXing. W9WI.com shows only
one full-power channel 4 in the small state of Ags: XHJCM-TV, 15 kW on the
Azteca-13 network. There is also a [very] low-power listed as 0 kW in Calvillo,
Ags., XHCLA-TV, independent. One new definite ID per opening is doing well with
Mexican TVDX full of little or no specific IDs!
1649 on 4, female makeup tips with Azteca net-13 bug UR, probably as above.
Program title in LL is VENGA ALEGRIA with clock 11:50
1657 on 4, cooking show with Televisa net-2 star bug UR and clock
1703 on 2, talk show amid CCI, +v bug in UR = XEWO-TV Mas TV, Guadalajara
1711 on 2, still +v bug in UR, but now I see another bug in LR: U for
Univisi?n! Program title in LL is Gf in script, which it soon becomes obvious
from further grafix stands for `El Gordo y la Flaca` --- the fat guy and the
skinny gal, and indeed the cohosts exhibit such morphic characteristix. Photo
at 1714 showing all three bugs will be at http://www.w4uvh.net/xewoU.jpg
Thus, previous assumptions about the U bug NOT appearing on Mexican TV, but
presumed from Naples FL, or even Nicaragua, are inoperative! I still could have
captured either or both, but also could have been XEWO or any other Televisa
local station hooked up with Univisi?n too.
1747 on 5, now MUF up to here with some CCI; and heavy CCI on 2, 3, 4; dominant
on 2 continues to be +v, XEWO-TV
1757 on 2, Azteca net-7 bug UR, talk show, probably XHTAU Tampico
1802 on 2, +v, XEWO-TV still mostly atop the QRM
1810 on 4, mostly audio, Gala TV promos = Televisa net-9
1811 on 5, video is strengthening
1816 on 5, evil penguins toon (what is the name of this in English and Spanish,
anyway?), Televisa net-5 bug in LR
1820 on 6, MUF pokes up to 6 video with same as 5, toon from net-5. Much of the
time I also have an ear on 88.1, but no FM DX makes it
1848 on 4, Canal 5 promos, ads for HSBC, FIFA; now the net-5 bug is in UR, back
to toon
1850 on 6, algo with weak video
1850 on 2, now a f?tbol game is starting, from Azteca net-7, Uruguay vs Brasil;
must be the Confederation Cup series again. I see it is also live on Univisi?n
in the USA
1853 on 4, SAME f?tbol game video, but different audio, and this has Televisa
net-5 bug. Opening ceremony includes brief speech (prayer?) by a player in
Portuguese, and even a stadium announcement in English. Uruguayan national
anthem plays, very nice, apparently direct feed rather than picking up from PA.
This could be really confusing with both major competing Mex nets broadcasting
the same live game: you`d think there would be an exclusivity deal
1917, opening is fading down, just weak CCI on 2, and I take a break
2029, CCI on 2-5; 4 has Televisa net-4 f bug in LR; 2 still in game
Henceforth I am recording WORLD OF RADIO 1675, but with one DX monitor on to
see it is still going. I don`t think I missed much as it`s mostly CCI rather
than identifiable individual stations by now
The game is over by about 2100, at least for Univisi?n. Somebody won
UT June 27:
0005 on 3, Televisa net-5 sitcom, as opening is about gone
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, June 27 at 0052, tune in early and whew, R. Chaski carrier is
back after absence yesterday. Stays on past 0100 until cutoff at 0103:42.5*
which is 10.5 seconds later than 48 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1675: first airing confirmed on WRMI webcast, UT
Thursday June 27 at 0330, presumably also on 9955. WRMI repeats are Saturday
1500 & 1730, Tuesday 1100. Next:
Thursday 2100.5 on WTWW-1 9479; UT Friday 0326v on WWRB 5050; UT Saturday 0130v
on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB; Sat 0630 & 1430 on HLR Germany 7265-CUSB; Sat &
Sun 2329v on WTWW-2 9930; UT Sun 0400.5 on WTWW-1 5830; this or previous 1674
also could appear anyday, anytime between 1700 & 2100 on 9930 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 9955, June 27 at 0100 after canned WRMI ID, Radio Vaticano IS
and opening in Latin, Spanish. Who needs the Greenville relay an hour later?
Lite pulse jamming continues after English program before the hour. At least
the Cubans don`t bother to jam 7305 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
