** BANGLADESH. 15505, July 9 at 1358, BB IS is playing, fading down for
unimpeded but always inaccurate 5+1 timesignal ending at 1359:32.5, i.e. 27.5
seconds faster than anyplace else in the UT+6 zone. Signal level a little
better than lately, but still only poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake [non], before 1330 July 9, CNR1 jamming instead:
13970, fair at 1329; none in 14s, 12s, and only 15115, 15195 in 15s
16100, good at 1326
17510, good at 1326 ? target here is BBC Uzbek via Oman during this semihour
only, as China interferes in the affairs of its neighbor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15340, July 9 at 1324, RHC Spanish with some modulation breakup, but
it could be, and has been, far worse. But why any at all? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 1320, July 9 at 1204, checking hi-end MW for remnants of
skywave, 42 minutes after sunrise, something in Spanish with 7:04 timecheck
before fading. Loops NE/SW, rather than NW/SE, so not KXYZ Houston which could
be in Spanish instead of Chinese at this hour, and no known SS in other
neighboring UStates, so most likely XECPN in Piedras Negras, Coahuila. A minute
later on 1350, then found Univisi?n Am?rica, i.e. KCOR San Antonio so that ties
in (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 15825 WWCR had been Es-boosted around 1400 UT July 9, so expected
some VHF activity too.
1415 tune-in channel 2, with antenna south, yes, some weak Spanish audio, seems
drama; and traces of video at times on ch 4
1432 on 2, fades in with toon from Televisa net-5 as bugged in LR
1446 on 4, algo again, and some zero CCI on ch 5 to my cable radiation
past 1530, just weak video CCI mostly on 2
1532 on 4, fades in toon from Televisa-5 in LR. To be continued? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MOROCCO. 9579.1, July 9 at 0517, weak music, but it`s not on 9580, so not
Africa Number One, Gabon, as some have assumed/listlogged lately, but instead
M?di Un, Nador. ANO remains absent, maybe gone for good (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PAPUA NEW GUINEA. 3205, July 9 at 1145, which is 23 minutes after sunrise
here but as early as I awaken, quick check of 90m for NBC signals. 3205 is the
only one with some modulation audible, but also carriers on 3260, 3325, none of
the others. Also something comes and goes on 3230 where no broadcasters exist
(except RSA one other hour weekly, unpropagable to here) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [and non]. 15400, July 9 at 0512, 1 kHz tone atop R. Dabanga, again
presumed jamming from, or on behalf of, Sudan`s repressive government (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9410, July 9 at 1150, big distorted blob, maybe jamming if Fu
Hsing has reactivated from Taiwan (Glen Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. In previous report of 13650-13300-, in explaining the units I
should have said ``1.96 kHz per second = kilocycles per second per second``
rather than ``kilohertz per second per second``. One could also write kHz/sec,
or kc/sec squared (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

CANADA/RUSSIA 6159.965 is the footprint at 0105 UT July 10, most likely
CKZU Vancouver, but covered by R Rossii Russian from Murmansk Monchegorsk
transmitter on even frequency, from the far north.
(73 wb, July 10)
CANADA [NEWFOUNDLAND] 6159.96 approx., July 9 at 0050 UT, poor signal in
English, surely CKZN back on (near) frequency after months circa 6160.8 kHz
producing a big het with CKZU and anyone else. Before sunset here, and way
before sunset in Vancouver, surely this one is CKZN, as first noted by
Thomas Nilsson, Sweden, July 7 at 0232 UT and July 8 at 0300 UT with CBC IDs
and news on 6159.966 kHz both times, but "a little unstable and trembling".
I needed to get this before 0100-0700 UT when bigsig from Cuba blox on 6165
kHz (unless it fails). Best time to get local info on CBC is the weather
about :05 after the news, but altho RHC was late tonight, still off at 0103
UT, it was on by 0105 and modulating before 0106 UT.
CKZU had also stayed slightly on the lo side of 6160 kHz, so when both are
mixing later in the night, it will be interesting to compare how far apart
they be now. SAH sure beats an AH.

Hi
I'm not sure where the information on Radio Australia came from but they are
very much still on shortwave to Asia and the Pacific, their latest schedule
is here:
http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/pacific/radio/waystolisten/abc-radio-shortwave-frequency-guide.pdf
As regards cricket, they do have Grandstand starting at 0200 UTC Saturdays
and Sundays, there won't be any local cricket as it's the rugby season

yes, I also had my doubts too... long distance EUR to Vancouver under
northern Whitesun condition
This morning at 0535 - 0600 UT I heard the two Canadians on remote units
6159.969 CKZN St. Johns - "CBC Radio One" program stronger on the east
coast in Massachusetts and Florida.
6159.982 CKZU Vancouver - more power on the west coast at Mojave Desert CA,
and most powerful close-by Vancouver at Bainbridge Isl. WA state
remote installation.

Subject: [HCDX] Mysterious Radio Waves From 11 Billion Light Years
Away ? Discovery Raises
Message-ID:
<[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Interesting Questions?Strange short-duration bursts of radio waves ? some
seemingly originating from regions that are over 11 billion light years away ?
have been detected by researchers over the past couple of years, but their
origins have remained somewhat unclear.
But now, new research has begun to shed some light on these strange radio waves
? terrestrial sources have been definitively ruled out, and there is good
evidence that they are originating from extreme astrophysical events involving
relativistic objects such as neutron stars, black holes, or magnetars.
Lead researcher, Dan Thornton, a PhD student at England?s University of
Manchester and Australia?s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research
Organisation, said: ?A single burst of radio emission of unknown origin was
detected outside our Galaxy about six years ago but no one was certain what it
was or even if it was real, so we have spent the last four years searching for
more of these explosive, short-duration radio bursts. This paper describes four
more bursts, removing any doubt that they are real. The radio bursts last for
just a few milliseconds and the furthest one that we detected was 11 billion
light years away.?
