** BANGLADESH. 15505, Sept 19 at 1357 JBA open carrier from BB, then adding IS,
I think, but just too weak to make out a timesignal if any circa 1400 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BOLIVIA. 5952+, Sept 19 circa 0100 and for several previous evenings, Radio
Pio Doce has been missing from usual spot; off earlier or off completely?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHAD [and non]. 6165-, Sept 19 I tune in too late at 0058 as RHC carrier is
already on, with lo hum and weak CCI, so I suspect RNT is back on after missing
yesterday. Another check at 0511 detects a LAH with talk under RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake [non] CNR1 jamming September 19 before 1400:
17080, very poor at 1348; none in the 16s
15570, poor at 1349 with flutter
15540, very poor at 1349
15115, fair at 1350 with usual CCI; none in the 14s, 13s
12370, JBA at 1350
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6165, Sept 19 at 0058, RHC carrier is already on earlier than usual,
blocking presumed Chad, q.v.
6000 & 5040, Sept 19 at 0512, RHC has Spanish on these two instead of scheduled
English, which remains on 6060, 6125, 6165. 0513 closing credits for `Sonido
Cubano` very nice music show, the same one heard during the ``buffer`` hour at
23-24 on 13780, 6000.
6000, Sept 19 at 1136, RHC Spanish modulation is quite suppressed; wiggle that
patchcord!
13780, Sept 19 at 1354, RHC with buzz on modulation, not so on 11760.
Re RHC`s ``new`` frequency 11960, as reported by Ivo Ivanov at 11-15 UT. I
previously contradicted this, saying I could not hear it at all. Then Wolfgang
B?schel had me doubting my own ears:
`` Glenn, checked La Habana on 11960 kHz today Sept 18 via various remote units
in USA and Canada, around 1155 UT and this broadcast is a REAL BROADCAST - non
mixing product today, same strength like 11690, 11760, and 11860 kHz!!!!!!!
Heard all transmission frequencies except 17730, noted on Sept 18. 73 wb``
So I keep trying to hear 11960 again on Sept 19: altho 11690, 11760 and 11860
are strong as usual, nothing more than a JBA carrier audible here on 11960 at
1134, 1220, 1310, 1355. Nothing else is scheduled on 11960 anywhere near this
hour in HFCC, EiBi or Aoki.
Now I am beginning to wonder if the remote SDRs they are using produce an
imaginary signal on 11960 from RHC, perhaps internal mixing of 11760 & 11860?
Is anyone else hearing RHC on 11960 with their *own* (preferably analog)
receiver with their *own* ears? It would not be the first time remote receivers
have ``heard`` something that`s not really there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 5765-USB, Sept 19 at 1137, AFN is JBA in storm noise level but enough
to tell it is on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4055, good signal Sept 19 at 1129, R. Verdad ending neat banjo
piece with SFX, probably the ``Workin` on the Railroad`` theme to `Tren del
Evangelio` in its regular spot, now propagating half a sesquihour before
sunrise here. TGAV`s 700 watts nominal continue to provide an impressive
signal, the only local SW broadcaster left in all of Central America, despite
some occasional doubtful logs of other Guatemalans, Hondurans (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 11985, Sept 19 at 0057, AIR today very poor with flutter, hum, and
talk rather than IS past 0058 as sometimes heard on this transmission, so
really amid Sinhala? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 550, Sept 19 at 1203 UT choral NA finishes, full ID for XEPL on 91.3
and 550, 24 hours, ``La S?per Estaci?n``; 1204 consumer program with YL called
`Radio Express`. Cant?:
550 XEPL La Super Estaci?n + FM 91.3 Cd. Cuauht?moc, Chih. 5,000 150
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 670, Sept 19 at 1201 UT, XETOR, Torre?n, Coahuila with full ID atop
the channel but never very strong. Cant?:
670 XETOR Radio Ranchito Torre?n, Coah. 1,000 250
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 720, Sept 19 at 1144 UT, mentions Grupo F?rmula, SEP PSA, ad for
ranchera CD to celebrate independence, 1146 a R. F?rmula full ID but too much
QRM; includes an FM frequency with an 8 in it and 720 AM. Therefore per Cant?
it can only be this one, sunrise now late enough for the east coast still to be
propagating:
720 XEAVR Radio F?rmula 1er Cadena + FM 89.1 Veracruz, Ver. 10,000 250
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 900, Sept 19 at 1206 UT, choral NA running late or a very long
version, loops SW, 1207 full ID mentions Cuauht?moc, 98.3, maybe ACIR Radio
group, and maybe ``Radio Impacto``? Cant? has another but related slogan:
900 XEDT Hits FM + FM 98.3 Cd. Cuauht?moc, Chih. 5,000 1,500
Googling XEDT leads to yet other names, possibly outdated: Radio Divertida, and
La Reina. However, not on the ACIR station list at
http://www.grupoacir.com.mx/cobertura_nacional.php
nor any other in that city (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 980, Sept 19 at 1209 UT, choral NA ends, either late or very very
long version, long pause, and 1210 announcement does not seem like full ID but
unreadable. Yet assuming it`s in the UT -6 zone, playing NA around 6 am local,
Cant? shows only this:
980 XEDCH La Rom?ntica + FM 102.1 Cd. Delicias, Chih. 1,000 1,000
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 6170, Sept 19 1318, no signal from RNZI which is still supposed
to start at 1300; despite sufficient signal still from 6150 Australia; RNZI
must be off. However, DRM noise on 9885-9895 was strong back at 1137. BTW, NZ
goes on DST already Sept 28-29, inevitably shifting relays of all that RNZ
National programming one UT hour earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 780, Sept 19 at 1147 UT, open carrier as usual from daytimer KSPI
Stillwater, after 1200 with local news instead of sports. Have not noticed
their carrier in the nightmiddle lately, but always on way before LSR, which is
officially 1215 in Sept (1230 in Oct). FCC AM Query shows KSPI does have a PSRA
starting at 6:00 am of ONE WATT in Sept thru Feb, bumped up to 10 watts in
March, and the full 250 rest of the year. This is NOT one watt or even ten
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 91.7, Sept 19 at 1321, KOSU`s Morning Edition host Ben Allen
announces that he is leaving in two weeks for a similar job at WITF in
Harrisburg (not Hershey?) PA. KOSU won`t be the same without his creative
weather forecasts, and weather in PA is no doubt boring by comparison. He`s
been quite a booster of KOSU`s brand new studio ``on Film Row`` in downtown
OKC, which is inviting everyone to its grand opening tomorrow evening,
including live music --- chamber music? Of course not! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OMAN. 9760, Sept 19 at 0102, RSO is back on after missing yesterday, with
Qur`an, fair with flutter and stronger than 9770 Turkey (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Sept 19 at 0054, VP carrier from R. Chaski with some modulation
vs band noise and 5990 Cuba splash, until cutoff at 0104:34* which is 5.5
seconds later than yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** THAILAND. 9795, Sept 19 at 1215, ``R. Thailand World Service`` ID in English
stating transmitter site Udon Thani, but not acknowledging VOA`s r?le, and
introducing Mandarin, right into it. Preceded by those mellow bells I never
tire of hearing, bringing back memories of my 1969-1970 year in Thailand. Good
signal, presumably slightly improved by beam change from 54 to 30 degrees after
Japanese quarter-hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1687 monitoring: confirmed on RMI webcast after 0330
UT Thursday Sept 19, and presumably also on WRMI 9955. Next:
Thu 2100v on WTWW-1 9479
UT Fri 0327v on WWRB 5050
UT Sat 0200v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB
Sat 0630 & 1430 on HLR 7265-CUSB
Sat 1500 on WRMI 9955
Sat 2327v on WTWW-3 9930
UT Sun 0400v on WTWW-1 5830
Tue 1100 on WRMI 9955
Wed 0630 & 1430 on HLR 7265-CUSB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 870, Sept 19 at 1148 UT, dominant signal in Vietnamese,
voice-overing someone in English, certainly KFJZ Fort Worth; fades out a few
minutes later before XETAR takes over from *1200 with NA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1010, Sept 19 at 1155, YL preacher in English loops NE/SW, fair
signal and suspect KXEN as direxion and format fit; QRM increases but at 1159 I
do make out a KXEN ID, not positively same station as earlier. In an article
for IRCA DX Monitor Sept 14 about ``Your First Ten Missouri Stations``, Eric
Bueneman in Hazelwood discounts 50 kW KXEN because it`s temporarily QRP:
``I did leave one 50 kW station off this list: KXEN 1010, licensed to Festus
(in southern Jefferson County). This Christian teaching station is left off
because it presently operates at very low power (375 watts day, 175 watts
night) with a non-directional pattern. The station?s transmitter site, at
Pontoon Beach, IL, was in the process of being sold at the time this was
written.``
So it`s not really a Missouri station, anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1500, Sept 19 at 1215 UT, long relay of NOAA Weather Radio with usual
degraded audio and robotic intonation; suspect KJIM Sherman TX rather than a
TIS: yes, NOAA finally mentions something locally identifiable, ``North
Texas``??? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4875v, Sept 19 at 0056 as I am surveying the 60m band with BFO at
5-kHz steps from the DX-398 on the porch, here`s a ``banshee`` carrier which is
slowly cycling up and down. Could be utility rather than broadcaster (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Hello friends
Isn't 2013 speeding past fast.......heading into fall or
spring.....and halfway through the current financial year already.
It continues to be a busy year, more new features, two brand new
radio guides with some amazing bells and whistles [and Hawaii in
development], a popular Facebook page where we can chat directly with
people, more boxes of memorabilia arriving, more research, website
makeovers, more people appearing on and being upgraded on the Roll of
Honor.....and more people coming back to revisit the website than
ever before..........interest in what we're doing is on the rise in
these tough economic times.......
* Budgeted operating expenses for 6 months to Sep 30 = $11,700
* Funds received so far = $6,000
* Funds needed = $5,700
Donate easily with the KULA hula girl at www.radioheritage.net
Less than 1% of people who visit the project to read one of over 350
features or conduct research or use radio guides walk the extra mile
to support us......and nearly 30% are even returning users of the
services..........
In the next 10 days, we need some more people to walk the extra mile
with us so that these operating expenses are being securely met.
Come visit this weekend, enjoy the new features, new radio guides,
and please walk the extra mile with us.............the project is
more than the website, it's about protecting, collecting and
showcasing radio memories...........
* be listed/upgraded on the Roll of Honor
* become a business or radio station partner**
* keep the website free
* $5,700 needed in the next 10 days

Thanks for visiting us and giving your moral support........please
now walk the extra mile with us if you can right now and contribute
the remaining $5,700 we need in the next 10 days to keep the project
steady on track.
Why is it important? Have you read our current editorial? Shortwave
radio is almost gone, AM radio is going, FM radio is now
disappearing......and people alive in the 1930's and 1940's - the
pioneers - are now fading away. We protect, collect and showcase
these radio memories.
We can move beyond scratching the surface only with your continued
support, so please join the key 1% of visitors and walk the extra
mile with us today.
