15645 kHz block has been S E E N properly on AOR Nana Japan remote Perseus
unit, at about S=7-8.
I guess the 45 degrees lobe antenna was in use at Trincomalee site ?
Came a little late from local TV watch,
to set transform line via VAC to DREAM software decoding,
and saw the DRM transmission stop exact at 1110:30 UT.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** AFGHANISTAN [non]. 11895, Sept 29 at 0114, seeking ``Sohl`` music, a bit of
it, before Pashto talk mentioning Washington DC; Deewa Radio, good with
flutter, USward from SRI LANKA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA. 15345.4, Sept 29 at 0057, R. Nacional has varied up to here, good
signal with flutter, but just barely modulated. 0124 weaker but mod has
improved during song, not silly ballgame. BTW, deep South Americans note their
6060 transmitter has finally been repaired, no more spurs all over 49m.
I often check for LTA 13363.5-LSB which might be more sportive on weekends, but
not heard now or recently (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BANGLADESH. 15105, Sept 29 at 1244, subcontinental vocal music from BB
English service, fair with flutter; 1253 food and water advice for those on
Hajj to Saudi Arabia; 1257 non-sequitur music astounded, ``All? en el Rancho
Grande``; or is that what Arabia seems like from the viewpoint of cramped,
watery Bangladesh?
15505, Sept 29 at 1358, OTOH is JBA and not even worth pursuing for an
offtimesignal today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 4875, Sept 29 at 0053, the ZY blob, Rdif. Roraima, is centered here;
with BFO I can detect a carrier amid it. BTW, judging from subsequent logs of
this station varying at least from 4873 to 4885, it was also this unID a
dekaday ago:
``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)
** CHAD. 6165-, Sept 29 at 0056, no signal from RNT tonight, even tho Cuba q.v.
is late again coming on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 6240, Sept 29 at 1307, Chinese classical vocal music, rather than
Western this Sunday, good signal turns out to be CNR1 jammer as // 6135 and
many others; this against unheard 100 kW Sound of Hope, Taiwan during this hour
only per Aoki. Did not check for other CNR1 jammers before 1300, but before
1400:
15570, very poor at 1354 with het on lo side; none in the 16s, 17s
14750, fair at 1355 with flutter
13830, poor at 1355
12370, very poor at 1357
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6000, Sept 29 at 0103, RHC English is very undermodulated with hum,
whilst the only // at this hour, 6165 is still absent and so is CHAD. In
Spanish, 6060 modulation is lower than // 6100, but not by so much. By 0120,
6165 is on. A day never goes by without some discrepancy at RHC; what a mess it
is (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE [non]. 15410, Sept 29 at 1359, ID for RFI in French, immediately
followed at 1400 by CRI opening Chinese. What`s going on here? At first
suspected CRI master control mixup like they have done for years with Spain IS
before Nepali service; maybe.
But Aoki and HFCC show on 15410, CRI via Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN at 14-15, and
RFI Swahili via Meyerton, RSA at 15-16, so possibility it was the latter
setting up for the next broadcast an hour later? However, it sounded like both
these were coming from the same transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9420, UT Sun Sept 29 at 0116, Avlis transmitter is again relaying
ERA3 service with classical music, competing with classical on 9525 & 7335
Romania. This has been quite reliable Saturday nights despite all the
disruptions over Greek broadcasting. However, not on usual // 7475. Also
reliable is Byzantine Chant, UT Sunday Sept 29 at 0514, good signal on 9420 and
in fact the SSOB! Even heard some feminine/boy voices (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 11740 & 11985, AIR Sinhala service presumed, during music has managed
to funxion on both frequencies tonight, at least after 0100; 11740 GOA stronger
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN [and non]. 21650, Sept 29 at 1240 in Chinese, i.e. VIRI, 500 kW, 65
degrees from Kamalabad; poor signal with 21540 Kuwait much stronger.
13880, Sept 29 at 1355, JBA signal thought might be CNR1 jammer, but Aoki shows
VIRI, Dari at 0830-1427, 250 kW, 84 degrees from Ahwaz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN [non]. 7280, Sept 29 at 0114, ME vocal music with imposed echo/reverb,
0116 suddenly it`s the Beatles! Such a clash has got to be R. Farda with its
peculiar music mix apparently appealing to Iranians as arranged by that woman
in Washington: yes, per Aoki, 0030-0400, 250 kW, 105 degrees via Nauen, GERMANY
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 720, Sept 29 at 1208 UT, three federal PSAs (always tagged
``gobierno de la rep?blica``), 1210 ID as Extremo 7-20, bit of music, then
discussing a vendedor de casimires [= cashmeres, presumably sweaters made of
goat wool], secuestro en la Zona Rosa. It`s XEJCC in Ciudad Ju?rez, Chihuahua
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 820, Sept 29 at 1230 UT, WBAP is weak and am getting Spanish with it
nulled again, string of federal PSAs, then ID for ``7-60 AM, ABC``, romantic
music. So which station is relaying XEABC in the DF on 820?? Hey, it must be
this one with an -A added to that call, per Cant?:
820 XEABCA Radio Frontera Mexicali, B.C. 3,500 500
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 870, Sept 29 at 1206 UT, birds chirping, announcement in Tarahumara
mentioning XERTA; then to live YL DJ in Spanish with 6:06 TC, and hum on her
mike; Guachochi, Chihuahua, La Voz de la Sierra Tarahumara, an exotic favorite
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 1030, Sept 29 at 1224 UT, romantic Mexican music, then
``en todas partes, Contesa`` (I think) also mentioning an FM, and 6:24 TC, back
to music with a beat. Roughly WSW, and with it nulled I can hear KTWO WY with
local weather. The UT -6 timecheck rules out Tijuana, leaving only these XE
possibilities per Cant?:
1030 XEYC? Radio F?rmula Cd. Ju?rez, Chih. 5,000?? 500
1030 XEMPM Exa + FM 98.9 Los Mochis, Sin. 10,000 1,000
Maybe the word I heard was really Exa instead of Contesa (or Contessa) which
leads nowhere on 1030. There is no US station in UT-6 except KTWO in English
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 930, Sept 29 at 1202 UT, WKY goes seamlessly from Spanish to
English for Indomable`s `Sunday Morning Magazine`, pretending to be pubaffs
instead of infomercial, in fact an episode I had heard a few weeks ago, with
guest from Paragon Fine Homes, about tornado safety. Around 1225 second guest
is promoting a kennel (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1020, Sept 29 at 1223 UT, KOKP Perry is *still* very out of order;
no one at Triple Play Sports notices or cares? Modulation cutting on and off at
rate of approx. 130 times per minute; with BFO I can tell this is also
affecting the carrier, altho it does not go off completely (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Hello Glenn, Is it true that your 1640 agro/farm station
is switching to oldies on Monday? Best wishes and 73's (Barry? :-) Davies,
Carlisle UK, Sept 28, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Hi Barry, News to me; where did you hear that? Would not be surprised. This
afternoon it`s football, Saturday afternoons being prime time for college
football, but I think they were doing that anyway (Glenn to Barry via DXLD)
http://www.angelfire.com/wi/dxmidamerica/FormatFlips.html
(Barry, DXLD) Viz.:
1640 WKSH WI Sussex Silent pending sale by Disney as of 9-29
1680 KRJO*LA Monroe OLD C&W "Country Legends 1680", dropping OLD R&B 9-27
1640 KOAG*OK Enid 2b OLD "True" starting Mon 9-3o 9-27
(FormatFlips via DXLD)
Trouble with FF is that sources aren`t stated. Also note the 1680 entry which I
have already reported, but DXMA misses its interim format for a sesquiyear or
so, News/Talk/Business. * means outside the DXMA prime interest area.
As for 1640 Enid, the All-Ag format (originating with 250/7 watt KFLP 900
Floydada TX), will have lasted only half a sesquiyear; and its logo I
availablized will become a collectors` item:
http://www.w4uvh.net/koag.jpg
Local radio gets zero coverage in the local press. I`ve looked around the
Champlin Broadcasting and Chisholm Trail Broadcasting websites and find nothing
about it. But have been monitoring 1640 more than usual:
Sat Sept 28 around 1910 and still at 2215 UT, some college football game. UT
Sunday Sept 29 at 0040, sales job opening promo from Champlin Broadcasting
jointly ``KOAG and KZLS True Oldies``, back to All-Ag news for now. Apparently
1640 will be on the True Oldies satfeed, like KZLS 99.7 Mustang/OKC has been
for quite a while now, so does that mean 99.7 will also be flipping to
something else, or duplicated? TO is also on KLIO 1070 Wichita audible here.
Sunday morning circa 1230 UT it`s still Ag for one more day? I suppose call
change will also be made ASAP, as our 1640 X-bander has yet to find an identity
that worx. Meanwhile, next January`s ag expo in Enid will again be sponsored by
KNID, not KOAG (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Sept 29 at 0055, R. Chaski carrier detectable in heavy splatter
from 5990 CRI/CUBA. Cleared after 0100, and Chaski cutoff comes at 0105:28*
which is 11 seconds later than two days ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** ROMANIA [and non]. 9525 stronger // slightly weaker 7335, UT Sunday Sept 29
at 0116, RRI`s regular Saturday-night classical concert in Romanian service,
competing with ERA3`s classical on 9420, but not with The Mighty KBC`s rock via
Germany on 7375.
13820, Sept 29 at 1248, E European folk music, 1250 Romanian announcement, all
underneath Greenville open carrier except for brief tone, prior to R. Mart?.
Keeps the frequency real quiet, and no jamming yet. Is RRI, 1200-1257, 300 kW,
285 degrees from Galbeni, per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RWANDA [non]. 17870, Saturday Sept 28 around 1750 quick check, yes, the
weekly monarchist clandestine R. Inyabutatu is still there, fair signal in
presumed Kinyarwanda; and still missing from HFCC but Aoki says BULGARIA site
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA. 11905, Sept 29 at 0115:11, 2-pip off-timesignal ends from SLBC
opening Hindi service, good with flutter, equivalent signal to neighbor 11895
Deewa Radio, see AFGHANISTAN [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY [and non]. 9770, Sept 29 at 0109, VOT Spanish hour is missing! Not
propagational, as 9760 OMAN is in well. Following big blob and spurs I heard
Sept 26. Other frequency 9870 is also absent, so maybe they are working on the
problem. VBS India is alone with music on 9870. But 0121 check, now 9770 & 9870
are both back on and spurless, 9870 ``m?sica popular turca`` mixing with VBS
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9800-10000, Sept 29 at 0108, modulation spike spurs from 10000 WWV
detected down 200 kHz in clear spots! Steve Handler, IL, also says Sept 27:
``Hi Glenn, The modulation spurs for WWV 10 MHz have been going on at least a
week. Have heard them in the AM during their weather info broadcasts``. Turn
down the modulation a tad! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1688 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-2, 9930, at 2329
Sat Sept 28; also on WTWW-1, 5830, from 0401 UT Sunday Sept 29 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5085, Sept 29 at 0054, WTWW-2 is missing --- because it`s still on
day frequency 9930 instead of QSY at 0000, with Ted Randall`s QSO ham
discussion. 9930 still extremely strong, 0106 fading a bit, but soon
recovering, still VG at 0121; unknown how late still on.
9479, Sept 29 at 1349, WTWW-1 is missing --- because it`s still on nite
frequency 5830 instead of QSY at 1300, with SFAW; unknown for how much longer,
but by now WTWW-3 is on 12105, and WTWW-2 on 9930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 960, Sept 29 at 0502 UT during local KGWA Fox-Hole, in its
open-carrier null I am mainly hearing blues music, announcement mentions
``Mississippi Delta`` and a celebrity(?) urges ``listen to this station`` which
is no doubt WABG Greenwood. Haven`t heard it in quite a while during this
window; propagational, or dependent on slipping into day power and pattern? New
NRC Pattern Book shows ND day, a minor lobe this way at nite (Glenn Hauser,
Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1680, Sept 29 around 0038 UT, KRJO Monroe LA with a couple IDs as
``Classic Country 16-80``, not ``Country Legends`` as I originally heard. Not
sure if they are alternatives, one primary, one secondary, or a permanent
change (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** UZBEKISTAN. 9975, Sept 29 at 0107, poor signal in Hindi with flutter,
short/longpath echo, i.e. CVC International, 01-04, 100 kW, 186 degrees from
Tashkent, per Aoki. Get this while you can, as when KVOH finally starts it will
be blocked around here; carried out two tests on 9975. What`s the delay? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN. 17530, Sept 29 at 1352, VOA Somali via SMG with usual
short/longpath echo, as explained before after exiting Somalia via Indian and
Pacific oceans. The short distance from Vatican to Enid is 8812 km, which means
the long distance is 40040 minus 8812 = 31228 km, which is 22416 km further,
i.e. a delay at the speed of lite, taken at 298500 km/sec, of 0.075 second or
approx. 1/13 of one second (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. TP carrier search Sept 29 at 1214-1219 UT, JBAs: 594, loops N/S
instead of NW/SE, so either very skewed or something else; correctly NW JBAs on
693, 774, 828, 882, 1053, 1134 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 930, Sept 29 at 1203 UT in WKY OKC null, weak music in Spanish,
so KHJ, LA? Next song is in English, same or something else? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOLIVIA. 5952.4, Sept 30 at 0049 no signal from Radio Pio Doce, just jamming
bleed from 5955; off the air early on Sunday night? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 4877 approx., Sept 30 at 0052, spurblob centered about here,
apparently accompanying carrier on 4875 from Rdif. Roraima, but not on the lo
side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9665.75, Sept 30 at 0110, Voz Mission?ria, Portuguese talk is even
further off-frequency than when it was constantly hetting the deleted Voice of
Russia. I could tell it was closer to 9666 than 9665 on the DX-398 before
measuring it by counting 40-Hz clix with BFO compared to WWV (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LITENING DIGEST)
** CHAD. 6165-, Sept 30 at 0050, JBA carrier, surely not RNT which must be off
tonight; RHC on by 0101 in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [non]. 5990, Sept 30 at 0100, CRI English opening as the Cubans have
left the transmitter on after the Spanish broadcast which should close by 0057
and usually is off before 0100. Paul James says this will be an abbreviated
Beijing Hour due to some national holiday. Still on past 0105 when I quit
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DGIEST)
** CUBA. 6000, Sept 30 at 0101, RHC missing, while this time, English on 6165
has already started (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9420, UT Monday Sept 30 at 0111, ERA3 is playing Dvorak`s New World
Symphony, more classical music on Sunday nights here; good here, // quite
weaker 7475 which is also undermodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 11740 // 11985, Sept 30 at 0047, AIR Sinhala service with same music
on both frequencies, but presumably out of synch. This time 11740 GOA is
considerably stronger than 11985 Khampur,? tho still with flutter. Still music
at 0103 and //. Seems this semi-hour is mostly music instead of news/talk
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Since news arrived that 1640 KOAG Enid would soon as of? Sept 30
flip to True Oldies, which has been on its sibling station 99.7 KZLS Mustang, I
monitor the latter Sept 29 at 2246 UT, and find it has already flipped to:
``Country Legends 99.7, Hank FM``. Altho did not hear legal ID; on the caradio
have to be careful not to confuse it with the CCI from Wichita.
(1680 KRJO Monroe LA also just flipped to Country Legends, but no Hank; tried
// but music was not the same). From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
``Branding: HANK FM
Slogan: Plays Everything Country
First air date: March 25th, 2005
Format: Country music & Classic Country
Owner: Envision Radio Networks
Website: http://hankfmradio.com
Hank FM is the on-air brand name of several radio stations in the United States
and Canada. Stations using the Hank FM brand name typically air a country music
& Classic Country format, and promote themselves as less strictly formatted
than other country music stations, airing both new country and classic country
music. They generally use the slogan (He) Plays Everything Country on their
country music "Hank FM" branded radio stations or "Plays Country Legends" on
their Classic Country "Hank FM" radio stations.
The format was conceived and is owned by Howard Kroeger - creator of the BOB FM
format. Kroeger also provides the voice for HANK. The name may be inspired by
legendary country musician Hank Williams. However, one station currently
branded as Hank FM is not consistent with the format of the other stations,
using the brand name for an adult hits format more similar to the Jack or Bob
formats.
Hank FM stations
??? Kalispell, Montana - KHNK
??? Glen Rose, Texas?? - KTFW-FM
??? Savannah, Georgia? - WGCO
See also Hank FM stations in North America
??? KHNK (Kalispell, MT)
??? KTFW (Glen Rose, TX)
??? WANK* (Tallahasse [sic], FL)
??? WLHK (Indianapolis, IN)``
Ha, now it`s falling into place, as another of Champlin`s properties, KQOB
96.9, hijacked from Enid halfway to OKC market, has been ``Bob`` for several
years. Wiki hasn`t yet caught up with OK developments, so how about the WTFDA
FM database, searching merely on Hank, finding several others:
KTFW-FM? 92.1 GLEN ROSE TX?????? HANK FM?????????????? CLASSIC COUNTRY
KOME-FM? 95.3 MERIDIAN TX??????? 92.1 HANK FM EVERYTHING COUNTRY
KHNK???? 95.9 COLUMBIA FALLS MT? 95.9 HANK FM????????? COUNTRY
WLXO???? 96.1 STAMPING GROUND KY HANK 96.1???????????? CLASSIC COUNTRY
WLHK???? 97.1 SHELBYVILLE IN???? HANK FM?????????????? COUNTRY
WGCO???? 98.3 MIDWAY GA????????? HANK FM?????????????? CLASSIC COUNTRY
WANK???? 99.9 LAFAYETTE FL?????? 99.9 HANK FM????????? ADULT HITS
CJHK-FM 100.7 BRIDGEWATER NS???? HANK FM?????????????? COUNTRY
WDVH-FM 101.7 TRENTON FL???????? 101.7 HANK FM???????? CLASSIC COUNTRY
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Sept 30 at 0048, R. Chaski carrier audible in heavy splash from
CRI 5990 via CUBA, which tonight runs way late after switch to English at 0100,
still going past 0105, but I can yet make out the Chaski cutoff at 0105:34.5*
which computes at 6.5 seconds later than last night; maybe margin of error in
play (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 9775-10000, Sept 30 at 0107, the modulation spur spikes
from 10000 WWV can be heard in clear spots all the way down to 9775, during
marine weather segment; perhaps that part is overmodulated worse than the
others; at least I keep noticing this problem during it. It`s worse closer to
10000, and can even be heard underneath the very strong 9965 Cairo carrier
which has plenty of problems of its own, not including overmodulation (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7506.4, Sept 30 at 0102, WRNO is missing. Never got around to
rechecking before 0400; usually it`s on a few minutes before 0100 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

September 30 2013
As someone interested in radio, you'll know that it sounds different
today. The stations you can hear, the personalities, the music. Even
the technology is moving from AM to FM and now digital, and shortwave
is shutting down across the world.
For almost ten years, we've been collecting, protecting and
celebrating memories of radio. We've come a long way, but still have
an enormous way to go as precious memories fade away, things get
forgotten, lost or destroyed and we work against the clock to collect
memorabilia, recordings, magazines, photos and so much more so we can
research and publish intelligent and entertaining features and
provide useful services for free at www.radioheritage.net.
Today, September 30 is half way through our financial year and
donations have raised only 58% of our weekly operating expenses. It
costs $450 a week to cover these costs but each week we're falling
behind by $189. Today, we need to catch up to keep going ahead.
Your contribution is needed, today.
Since April 1 2013:
* 43% more time is spent on the website since a year ago
* 31% more returning users than a year ago
* new free and easy to use Australia and New Zealand Radio Guides
* new Retro Radio Dial features cover more of the world
* new features
* new radio features broadcast over Radio NZ International
More than 99% of people who use www.radioheritage.net make no
contribution. Those who do become supporters are recognized on the
Roll of Honor. These are the people who make it possible for us to
continue and we need more of you to give them a hand today.
* Regular Gold = $35 year
* Contributing Gold = $75 year
* Sponsor = $100 year
* many other options at www.radioheritage.net/Supporter.asp
Please use your credit card today at www.radioheritage.net under the
KULA hula girl to make your contribution.
We're $4,950 behind with our funding today. It might not sound much
but it's a real burden for us and is holding us back from moving
forward to keep up with the new things we need to do keep collecting,
protecting and celebrating radio memories.
Thanks for doing your bit today.............

working days for removal by one of our volunteers. You may receive
