** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 9965, Sept 12 at 1405, neat tune catches my attention,
introducing `Late Night Live` from RA via PALAU, also on 9580, 12065 direct.
This is one of the best talkshows, but I`m not up for today`s topic, a
political debate. Maybe I should have stayed with it, billed as ``hilarious``.
Access to this and many more of them:
http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/latenightlive/
It emits four days a week, Mon-Thu at 14-15, meaning 1405-1500
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BANGLADESH. 15505, Sept 12 at 1359, Bangladesh Betar IS, very poor but
enough to make out off-timesignal ending at 1359:51, opening Urdu. And lest the
main point be overlooked, it is this: stations unable to broadcast consistently
accurate timesignals (and this is not the only one), have no business
broadcasting any timesignals! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CAMBODIA [non]. 13845, Sept 12 at 1229, WWCR has a SAH as Radio Free Asia is
about to open its Khmer hour vs the Power Hour. RFA is much weaker today,
allegedly via SRI LANKA, mostly evident by the continuing SAH (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA [non]. 6030, Sept 12 at 1220, I am straining to hear any peals of
laughter from CFVP Calgary, which from today is publicized to abandon country
music for 24/7 Comedy --- it has to, since it simulcasts ``Funny 1060`` CKMX
--- but only CNR1 Chinese and remnants of Cuban jamming, tho Mart? quits at
1200. BTW, CFVP is missing from Aoki list (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake, Sept 12:
?7470, poor at 1223 with low audible heterodyne (LAH)
12040, fair at 1408, mixing with CNR1 jamming // 11615
All the rest are CNR1 jamming only, before 1400 Sept 12:
15570 & 15540, very poor with hets at 1357, both gone at 1400
15115, 15195, 15265, the usual CNR1 lo-15 jammer spots at 1358
12370, poor at 1358. No others 12-18 MHz
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CROATIA. 21303-USB, Sept 12 at 1351, only signal found on ``15`` meters is
9A3OS, Sam, with KZ5EK and then a plain K5, short contacts, says he is in
northwest Croatia. Sounds familiar: yes, I logged him Aug 10 at 1405 when he
was on 21280 as in DXLD 13-33, and also the OSOB. So he really gets out, or
pipeline from Cakovec to Enid? He may be the best bet left for Croatia on SW,
as Croatian Radio is trying to sell their previously deactivated RIZ 100 kW
Deanovec transmitter, as in a NASB Facebook item (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 9505, Sept 12 at 1226, distorted spurblob from RHC; quickly compare it
to 9550, and the two are an echo apart, so 9505 must come from the other
transmitter on 9540, which I have just tuned across, but when I go back to it,
can`t hear it there. Must be that transmitter out of whack; rather like a
broken toothpaste tube, instead of coming out the proper hole evenly, it makes
a mess from the break. This spur appears periodically.
11860, Sept 12 at 1240, RHC is JBM, just barely modulated
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also INDIA
** INDIA [and non]. 15040, Sept 12 at 1233, AIR music, then Burmese talk, 100
kW, 132 degrees from Delhi/Khampur; only fair but better than lots of weak
signals on 19m, making this an unlikely contender for SSOB, except maybe for
Cuba 15230 which however is undermodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 747 & 774, Sept 12 at 1151 UT, JBA NW carriers doubtless from the 500
(not 300) kW NHK-2 outlets, 747 JOIB Sapporo, and 774 JOUB Akita (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 11705, Sept 12 at 1403, R. Japan fair but readable English news
about Fukushima. No longer via Canada, Singapore or even Japan, this one is now
due west from PALAU, but possible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 11710, Sept 12 at 1245 sweetly harmonious hymn to
guess who? from VOK, without much Juche jamming noise or Chinese mixture yet.
Talk, talk, talk, all over the 25m band, so settle here as I want to doze a
bit, but it`s soon over, sign-off in Korean and 1248 NA.
Then for music one must go to 11550/12050 for the Mother Angelica mass wrapping
up with organ fill and an unfamiliar hymn by a non-professional cantor (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 21540, Sept 12 at 1319*, another station, R. Kuwait dumps off the
air as soon as I tune in, as if to evade me; but *1320 back on with carrier, no
modulation until a few seconds later, drawing on Mussorgsky for dramatic music
to go with Arabic narration (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 570, Sept 12 at 1142 UT, PSA string, mostly federales, ``escucha
Noti-Radio 570``, sounder, then mentions Monterrey, so as expected it`s XEBJB,
a.k.a. just ``Radio 570`` en Cant?, IRCA and WRTH; and a departure from the
NORte?a/RANchera format as in IRCA Log. Also produces a low rumbling het, as
it`s slightly off-frequency to the hi side. Often it`s just the het bothering
other stations such as KSNM which I had suspected of being the culprit. It`s
not unusual for mostly musical XE stations to include a morning newsblock and
this may be one of them (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 670, Sept 12 at 1159 UT, Grupo Radio M?xico has job openings,
qualifications specified, then full ID for Radio Ranchito, street address,
etc., Torre?n, con mil vatios, i.e. XETOR in Cant?:
670 XETOR Radio Ranchito Torreon, Coah. 1,000 250
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 700, Sept 12 at 1145 UT, W&M with news in Spanish from datelines all
over the country, loops SW (discounting NE). Suspect same station as I have
been hearing recently with nothing but hum, likely this as in Cant?:
700 XEGD? La Poderosa + FM 90.3 Hidalgo del Parral, Chih. 5,000 1,000
But can`t completely rule out:
700 XEDKR Radio Red AM????????? Guadalajara, Jal.??????? 10,000?? 150
Retune 1201 UT, probably same station and now Jalisco is less likely, almanac
for 12 de setiembre including: something about Katharine Hepburn with a movie
clip in English; 1953 Stalin to Khrushchev; 1989 Luna-2 launched; 1989 Germany
algo; 1998 peace in N Ireland; 2010 Chile miners rescued; 1204 UT ``Noticias
MVS`` acknowledging Canal 5 and 97.3 FM. This however originates with 102.5 in
the DF, XHMVS. I also logged MVS news April 25 but couldn`t find an affiliate
on 700; see DXLD 13-18 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 720, Sept 12 at 1150 UT, ``La Kaliente`` slogan with 105.7, i.e.
this by itself now, but which all evening is the SAH nemesis of WGN, per Cant?:
720 XEDE La Kaliente + FM 105.7 Saltillo, Coah. 8,000 250
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 5980, Sept 12 at 1217, poor signal in English about China, but if
it`s Thursday, this must be BBC Thailand, trying to avoid alleged ChiCom
jamming by changing among four frequencies depending on day of week in a
regular rotation, succeeding only in confusing casual listeners who don`t know
about the strategy. And BBC *never* announces any frequencies on the air, since
that would only confuse listeners on their primary platforms, SW only a dying
legacy. Besides, there are still too many of them to accommodate all those
meaningless numbers.
In fact, a survey by Stephen Cooper for DXLD finds only 15 strategic BBC
languages left on SW besides English, as overall hours are being reduced. But
at least no further language deletions are pending. Steve Luce finds weekly SW
transmitter hours in English are to decline from 174 in A-13 to 135 in B-13
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGSET)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1686 monitoring: completed just in time for first
airing on WRMI, UT Thursday Sept 12 at 0330, as confirmed on webcast,
presumably also 9955. Next:
Thu 2105 on WTWW-1 9479
UT Fri 0327v on WWRB 5050
UT Sat 0200v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB
(Hamburger Lokalradio off the air until early October?)
Sat 1500 on WRMI 9955
Sat 2327v on WTWW-2 9930
UT Sun 0401 on WTWW-1 5830 (modulation missing last week)
Tue 1100 on WRMI 9955
also via:
http://www.worldofradio.com/audiomid.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12105, Sept 12 at 1403, WTWW-3 is missing, as it had been an hour
earlier when it should have started; tho WTWW-1 on 9479 and WTWW-2 on 9930 are
operative (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN. 17530, Sept 12 at 1317 tune in just in time to hear carrier go
off*, but back *on shortly, and a few seconds later resuming Somali modulation
from VOA relay, violating Separation of Church and State. At least have not
heard any unknown CCI on this since Sept 9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 650, Sept 12 at 0535 UT, 24/7 Comedy station is again audible in
mixture of other stuff with WSM nulled. Whence?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 1686, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Started on MW this morning but Sept 12 at 1155 a quick check of
90m finds only weak carriers on 3385, 3325, 3260, 3247?, 3230, 3200, so back to
MW. Some are surely PNG or Indonesia, but 3247 and 3200 call for further
pursuit: nothing fundamentally on 3200, so could be a harmonic. Nothing on
possible PNG channels 3205, 3315, 3345, 3365 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CANADA. Re my logs of comedy on 650 with WSM nulled:
This is supposedly comedy radio 650 from Houston, KIKK, the former country and
then sports station. If they are going 24/7 then they are likely breaking the
rules, that's a daytime only, IIRC. They are listed in the affiliates list here
as Houston KIKK 650:
http://allcomedyradio.com/affiliates.php
(David Block, DFW, TX, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Yes, there it is on this list, a different one than I found for 24/7 Comedy;
are these totally separate networks? KIKK may be a new addition, but same list
still shows KFNY 1640 OKC (Enid) as a full-format affiliate which it has not
been for several years! FCC AM Query shows callsign change dates: KFNY was in
effect from 02/16/2004 to 03/30/2005, then KFXY with sports, and since
01/01/13, KOAGriculture.
As for KIKK, it is indeed a 250-watt Daytimer ONLY, and owned by CBS Radio
Texas! Probably the least of all their stations; CoL Pasadena (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) HOWEVER:
Comedy (if you can call it funny; I can't) on 650 is from CKOM.
http://www.newstalk650.com/shows
73 KAZ (Neil Kazaross, IL, IRCA via DXLD)
Aha! Time fits, as on weekdays it`s only one hour 11-midnight CST = 0500-0600
UT; but weekends 2330-0600 UT. Labeled only as ``comedy``, source not given.
Looking back at my two logs so far, the first one did hear a promo for 24/7
Comedy, so agreed it`s CKOM Saskatoon, not KIKK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHAD [and non]. 6165, Friday Sept 13 at 0059 before RHC comes on, I am
getting a fair carrier but undermodulated. Slightly stronger carrier but less
modulation than neighbor 6160 CKZN with CBC Radio One ID. Soon can tell it`s in
French, apparent news past 0100, strongly suggesting Chad, but we did not think
it ran all-night; Aoki shows *0425-2230*, weekends to 2300* and in the
0730-1030 period only on weekends too. Dreading abrupt coverage by Cuba [q.v.]
any second now, but still off at 0105 when I do make out a YL ID as ``Radio
Nationale Tchadienne, diffusant de N`Djamena``. So are they always on overnight
now, or is this a special occasion? Or beginning of the Islamic-influenced
weekend. RHC is finally on 6165 way late by 0118.
WRTH 2013 shows both 250 kW 6165 and 20 kW 840 kHz [off-channel] as irregular,
but nominally 24 hours, leaving nothing but a 100-watt FM on 94.5, (and a local
N`Djamena service on 94.5). The ID above I copied differs from WRTH: ``Ici
N`Djamena, Office National de Radio et T?l?vision du Tchad``. RHC is normally
on 6165 from 01 to 07, but if you hear some CCI, it seems to be Chad if not
Zambia (which Bill Bingham, RSA says has been missing from both 6165 and 5915
since at least September 9) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5990, September 13 at 0056, the CRI relay is missing before usual
closing. Maybe atoning for staying on at least 14 minutes late the other night.
6000, Sept 13 at 0104, RHC English is missing; finally carrier at 0106, add
modulation in progress at 0108:20.
6165, Sept 13 at 0106, RHC English still missing, leaving frequency open for
guess what, CHAD! q.v. RHC came on 6165 shortly before 0118 when I next noticed
it.
6060 and 6100, meanwhile, RHC Spanish were going OK at 0106 check and
presumably earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 7266-LSB, Sept 13 at 0109, finally got one of the US 66
special event ham stations, W6K, Mac, who is in Oklahoma City. Takes about a
minute for each contact, a lot more than hard-core contesters, including at
0110, KE5IRJ, Gary in Lawton OK. Mac thought it odd the skip would be so short,
only 90 miles, but I in Enid am closer to most of OKC than that, and W6K had a
5/9 very good signal here, better than any of his contacts, at 0111 being
KD8ORN, Scott in Ohio; and at 0112 AE5YN, Ron in Arkansas (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Sept 13 at 0103, R. Chaski carrier is JBA on the FRG-7 (yet some
mosquitoes got inside the house), until cut off at 0104:00.5* which makes it 9
seconds later than two days ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1686 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-1, 9479
starting only about 5 seconds after 2100 UT Thursday Sept 12. I should have
kept listening longer in case there was an ID interruption as used to happen.
Also confirmed on WWRB 5050 from 0329 UT Fri Sept 12, first monitored on
webcast, where Dave made no announcement after stopping the preacher with only
a brief pause before WOR.
Next: UT Sat 0200v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB.
Contrary to last week`s info that Hamburger Lokalradio would be off the air
until early October due to storm damaging the antenna, Tom Taylor now says they
will be back with a temporary antenna on the usual schedule which would include
WOR Sat & Wed at 0630 & 1430 on 7265-CUSB. Europeans, please try and compare to
previous reception.
Also:
Saturday 1500 on WRMI, 9955. Saturday 2327v on WTWW-2, 9930; UT Sunday 0400 on
WTWW-1, 5830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
