1044 UnIDed
https://sites.google.com/site/zliangas/1044
Following the special case of Canibal I now present you another for the
time
being free radio station but still not identified
After the closure of nearly the half radio stations from ERA , including
the
three transmitters from Thessaloniki our city is now free from local
radio
stations .
With the closure of the German station this year , the frequency was
clear
since May 13
But little later again on may 13 a new station has been started fist by
relaying a local radio station from FM band well known in the city of
playing
traditional songs on afternoons and nights every day
But later as per my monitoring , this station (??i have some doubts for it )
reappeared with its own programming (read play list with mp3 collection )
with
old Greek songs , but more especially pops (not folk as most others )from
the 60-
80 era that later (after 9 pm ) hardens a little still into light
folks and
goes vice versa . . All these songs were highly popular those old times.
That
makes me suppose the operators age is around 50 That is after listening
sometimes
this station for more than 3 hours (for looking for ID )
And little later this station appeared wth mostly western pops of 70a and
80s ,
but their transmissions are highly irregular
Although with some little direction finding (by turning the radio ) shows
to be
in line with Athens (ie Canibal ) their propagation pattern is different
with more
frequent fade outs and higher signals than Cannibal . As for example my
parallel
testing with them on 7-9 shown signals as low as 23/05/6 to as high as
35/18/10
( db S - S/N S on 16H antenna on R75 ) That makes me believe that the
station
transmits possibly from further than Athens with higher power
I am also wondering if this station was before in 1035 under the name of Daffy

As some of you may know, I've been noting an UNID. on 6160.06 for about 2
months now. Its been very difficult due to severe QRM from CKZN. Hopefully
some of you may be able to help. The signal comes on the air around 1000 UTC
and is highly variable. Sometimes well after 1000 and sometimes before, as was
the case this morning (locally here). There are some days when its not on at
all, or may come on too late for reception here. I've never noted it in our
evenings until yesterday. Found it at 2344 and was on well past 0030. Morning
fades suggest possible western South America/Andes location. I finally did get
what I believe is heavily distorted audio this morning. A woman announcer was
speaking from 1001 to 1004 UTC. It was too distorted to determine the
language. Checked for signals in the 49mb (just above 5960) that appeared at
the same time this came on the air at 0958 but there were none. So its
doubtful its a spur. Due to my relatively close proximity to CKZ!
N, I'm not in a good position to have much luck identifying this signal.
Below are links where you can hear what the distorted audio sounded like this
morning at 1001 to 1002 UTC, and also a screenshot showing the signal coming on
the air at 0958 UTC. In the MP3 recording, you'll hear CKZN as well which was
about 100 hz below. In the screenshot, beside the signal on 6160.06, you can
also see CKZN on 6159.97 and another very weak signal on 6160 which I presume
to be R. Rossii (much too weak for audio). If any of you can help, I'd
appreciate it very much.

Well, all indications seem to point to R. Rio Mar in Manaus, Brazil. Thanks to
Ron Howard for passing along this logging from Stig from last year. Freq
matches up perfectly. Just checked sunrise in Manaus and its 0936 UTC today.
And since about 80% of the signal path is in darkness, that could be it. None
of the lists that I have show R. Rio Mar here anymore. My last logging for R.
Rio Mar was from 2011 on 31m. I've never logged it myself on 49m. Still, a
positive ID would be nice. Thanks Ron, and thanks for everyones attention.

Could be.?
However, in Chile right now Claudio Galaz is picking up this one:
http://streema.com/radios/Super_Rede_Boa_Vontade_de_Radio_610_AM
Both offer low key programming.
If you want to compare with the actual internet stream, here is the one from
Manaus,
www.rederiomar.com.br
Both are OK right now.

** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 6080, Oct 31 at 1146, R. Australia, weak beam to Asia
has CCI, probably CRI Russian, northwestward from Beijing site, as in HFCC
B-13, where RA has not bothered to register anything. Thought I would check
this following recent one-day appearance of Solomon Islands on 6080 at
0830-0900+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 9490, Oct 31 at 0052, usual wall-of-noise jamming is reduced
to only lite pulse jamming, yet I cannot hear any R. Rep?blica. Suspect they
have made the timeshift early in Europe even tho it`s from the US to Cuba where
clox don`t change for another quadriday.
Jeff White just told me it`s still supposed to be at 00-02, but HFCC B-13 shows
a 3-hour span from Issoudun, FRANCE, at 00-03 starting 27 Oct; I suspect really
to encompass the two different 2-hour spans, i.e. already 0100-0300 instead of
0000-0200, but did not recheck after 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6270, Oct 31 at 0114, RHC Spanish weak but readable, leapfrog of 6060
Spanish over 6165 English fulcrum another 105 kHz higher, but no English
audible on 6270 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, Oct 31 at 1348, VOI is missing for the third day in a row.
Is it heard at any other dayparts, e.g. in Europe? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT [and non]. 21580, Oct 31 at 1245, very poor signal starts to fade in;
1248 Arabic music mixing with another. The understation at 1257 seems // 21690,
which fits for RFI FRANCE as scheduled on both at 1200-1300 (and don`t you
believe RFI comes back on 21580 with ENGLISH at 1430-1500 as registered in HFCC
B-13!!! All SW English was dropped a year or two ago and I don`t believe it`s
coming back.)
So Kuwait is on 21580 for a second day, apparently deliberate to evade Spain`s
usurpation of 21540 (still there today but barely audible unlike good sig from
Kuwait). The geniuses in MOI frequency management have jumped from one frying
pan into another; there are plenty of totally open frequencies on 13m, but at
least 21580 is unimpeded after 1300. At 1411 recheck, 21580 is still very good
in Arabic, and 21540 Spain JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 900, Oct 31 at 1226 UT, XEOK Monterrey, with feature report about
ballet, overmodulated and somewhat distorted, typical of this station, 1229
non-ID as ``Es 900 AM`` (really???), 1230 ``reporte de tr?fico y clima en
88.9``, 6:33 TC. It`s the relay of 88.9 in M?xico DF as if anyone in Monterrey
cared about traffic jams there. DF (direxion finding) fits for MTY, a bit west
of due south (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Oct 31 at 0101, R. Chaski carrier detectable, until cutoff at
0102:36.5, which is right on time, 5.5 seconds later than yesterday (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SERBIA [non]. As quickly found via:
http://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm
The IRS B-13 schedule is now up at
http://voiceofserbia.org/program-schedule
Showing the usual one-hour time-shifts, and alleging that it is still
broadcasting to North America at 0100-0230, including English at 0130-0200
Tue-Sat, and back on the winter frequency 6190 - except it`s NOT --- no signal
at 0110 check Oct 31, just like there has been no signal for months on the
A-season frequency 9685. Whom are they kidding? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 1693, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [and non]. 21540, Oct 31 before 1300, weak signal in Spanish, no QRM
from Kuwait since REE drove it off yesterday to 21580. 21540 REE is still
barely audible at 1411, while the other new frequency, 21630, continues to
collide with BBC Hausa via Ascension (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 5875, Oct 31 at 1308, BBCWS with report from Melilla, about
porteadoras, poor underpaid women who haul goods across the border with
Morocco, and how others sneak into Spanish territory this way. Very good signal
today, only a little RTTY on the lo side.
It now appears that BBC is adhering to its HFCC registration to stay on this
frequency at 12-14 UT seven days a week; as Aoki accurately listed for A-13,
and as we heard it last week, the Thursday frequency via THAILAND used to be
5980, with 5875 really in use only on Sundays and Wednesdays, in a silly
attempt to escape ChiCom jamming (which we could never hear anyway);
alternating with 5820 and 5840 other days of week, all of which we heard at one
time or another during the past few months, but keep checking them in case 5875
be missing again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1693: first airing will be Thursday Oct 31 at 2101v on
WTWW-1 9479; then: UT Friday 0327v on WWRB 3195 (ex-, or maybe // 5050); UT
Saturday 0200v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB; Saturday 0630 & 1430 on HLR
7265-CUSB; Saturday 1500 on WRMI 9955; Saturday 2327v on WTWW-2 9930; UT Sunday
0401v on WTWW-1 5830. Remember from next week all these times shift one UT hour
later so people can imagine they are at the ``same`` time by local clox, except
in non-DST states (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3215, Oct 31 at 0057, WWRB back on lower winter frequency instead of
5050, as Dave is on live talking about being on 3195 and 3215, looking for
``reservations`` for winter business, offering 200,000 watts if you want to be
on both 3195/3215, and 5050. Says the 3 MHz frequencies are on antenna favoring
east of the Mississippi and 5050 for west of the Miss. Getting serious now
since more people are listening 5 pm-midnight ET after gardening and harvesting
is over. Says WWRB airtime costs half of what that other station on 3215
charges, and delivers more.
He`s really off on a rant and doesn`t notice that it`s 0100 and WWCR has
shifted right on time to 3215 with steel drums and programming. Makes a SAH of
about 6 Hz, roughly equal strength. He emphasizes that, unlike other stations,
WWRB does not insert commercials --- if you buy half an hour, you get 30
minutes. Still colliding at 0103 as he`s talking about ``patriot baloney``,
making fun of fear-mongers with silly voices.
Someone must have complained to WWCR because at 0104 they drop carrier for a
few seconds as if to check that he`s really on 3215 at the same time putting
down WWCR. Then he announces QSY to 3195, and his 3215 finally goes off at
0105*. Retune to 3195: carrier on there at *0105:22, resumes talking at
0105:46, about ``phoney-baloney patriots, spelled PAY-triots --- all you need
is to trust in the Lord``, not be fearful that the government is coming to take
away your rights, your guns, etc. At 0109 he starts looking for a song he wants
to play from a CD, hasn`t found it by 0111; 0113 recheck it`s ``Wonderful Words
of Life``. Lou Johnson reports this was going on during most of the previous
hour on 3215 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7506.4+, Oct 31 at 0053, WRNO is already on early, while last night
it was not on late after 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 670, Oct 31 at 1157 UT, numerous ``Hog-Call`` program promos,
479-area code phone, from KHGZ Glenwood AR; this early, WSCR has to be exactly
nulled, but they are close to 90 degrees apart (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 730, Oct 31 at 1159 UT, Korean talk and a couple IDs in passing for
``KKDA``, the letters pronounced in English --- well, of course, since there
are no letters in Korean. Then at 1200 full legal ID in English for Dallas
Korean Radio, and one tone/timesignal. Allegedly there is no requirement that
legal IDs really be in English.
A few minutes later, I was hearing some Vietnamese on 870, another Metroplex
language, from KFJZ Fort Worth (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 820, Oct 31 at 1200 UT, WBAP with legal ID mentions 820, 99.5 HD2
and KPLX HD2. Sounded like three separate ``stations``, but KPLX is the one on
99.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1370, Oct 31 at 1211 UT, as I tune in, ``Memories 13-70 AM,``,
WTTN(?) or something similar, definitely a W-call; poor with CCI and splash
from local 1390 KCRC, peaks from ENE? Looking fuzzily thru NRC AM Log for
resembling calls on 1370, the closest is NOStalgic WCCN in Neillsville WI,
``America`s Best Music``. Then Googling on ``Memories 1370 AM``, that indeed
leads to WCCN, subsidiary of a rock FM outlet: http://cwbradio.com/ FCC shows
5000/42 watts, so it is sunrise yet in central Wisconsin? No, 1215 UT in
October, 1300 in November, but they do have a PSRA of 500 watts which would be
in effect (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN. 21560, Oct 31 at 1259, some station in Italian, then ``Laudetur
Iesus Christus`` and `Radio-Giornale` from R. Vaticana, which is now scheduled
here daily at 1300-1320 toward the south. Keeping the local language on SW
unlike Rai; fair signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. TP carrier search Oct 31 at 1151: JBA on 612, 702, 882 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 880, Oct 31 at 1223-1225+ UT, audio of a couple of syllables and
rumble caught in a loop over and over for more than two minutes, interrupted by
one IAD. Roughly east/west with KRVN nulled, and very likely KLRG AR, altho
KHAC NM can also make it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5055, Oct 31 at 0054, weak Spanish here; thought would be
leapfrog of 5025 Cuba over 5040 Cuba another 15 kHz higher, but not // either;
maybe SSB mode, and also a JBA carrier which could really be the leaper (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5805, Oct 31 at 1312-1313* open carrier of fair strength; wonder
what? Except for far-out 5745 VOA Radiogram, HFCC B-13 has 5810 WEWN as the
lowest frequency SWBC registered in this band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 9665.46, Nov 1 at 0006, surprisingly strong signal sounded Chinesish
for a moment, but then Brazuguese with time check for ``22 horas e 6 minutos``
(rather than half a dozen minutes). And ``endere?o postal`` of Caixa Postal
2004, [missed postal code, but per WRTH it`s 888340-000], Cambori?, Santa
Catarina, i.e. R. Voz Mission?ria. SBOB, strongest Brazilian on band, way ahead
of 9819v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 4800, Oct 31 at 2347, very poor signal seems Chinese, as befitting
the 100 kW CNR1 at Geermu; once I make sure it is not // local 960 KGWA, i.e.
fifth harmonic, which gets no more exotic than an occasional PSA in Spanish.
Not uncommon signal along the grayline, on air some 22 hours per day, and this
is before India comes on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5040, Oct 31 at 2349, RHC English transmitter with heavy rumble and
squeal on the modulation, and the carrier also wobbling severely. Can`t they
tell something is wrong? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. 9490, Nov 1 at 0005, again no R. Rep?blica this early, and the
DentroCuban Jamming Command acknowledges this by running only lite pulsing in
standby mode (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 9900, Oct 31 at 2058 past 2102 and still but weaker with flutter at
2152, open carrier/dead air. Hey, I bet it`s Cairo with standard programming
tactic as 9900 is an old frequency of theirs. Checking HFCC B-13: Yes,
2115-2245 in English to Europe, 200 kW, 325 degrees from Abis.
What about the other English broadcasts USward? 2115-2245 also shown on 11890;
2300-2430 now listed on both 9965 and 11530 --- pick one? The 0200-0330 Dead
Air Service still on 9720. Also look out for 9905, 02-07 in Arabic, 250 kW, 315
from Abis to Europe and ENAm (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6185, Nov 1 at 0000, Mexican NA signifying XEPPM is officially
signing on now for its six-hour SW service; but do they really turn it on
earlier? Fair with ACI already from stronger 6180 Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NICARAGUA [non?]. 8989-USB, Oct 31 at 2348, very poor signal, Spanish with
didactic tone, mentions ``los creyentes`` (believers), so presumably the
so-called ``Predicador Pescador`` allegedly from in or near Nicaragua on a boat
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. Pirate search on Hallowe`en starts early and ends early for
me:
6850-AM, Oct 31 at 2351, some very weak music here, and that`s all. Radio Free
Whatever per this thread:
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,13546.0.html
6925-USB, Nov 1 at 0014, fair signal with spooky music. Renegade Radio, say
these threaders:
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,13551.0.html
6975.46-AM, Nov 1 at 0012, good signal and modulation, only some bonker
evitable from the lo side; playing ``Jeepers, Creepers``; by 0016 scary
orchestral music, familiar from some movie soundtrack, plus wailing. By far the
best signal so far this evening, but checked later, no reports of 6975 or
6975.5 on HFU. There were some in previous months including Radio Free
Whatever, Boom Box Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU [non]. My porch-monitoring session is an hour earlier than usual to
avoid the trick-or-treaters, as it isn`t dark yet when my closest streetlight
emits a burst of wideband RF noise at 2344 UT Oct 31 with a clear sky, firing
its starter.
>From tentative B-13 registrations, I was expecting R. Chaski, 5980 to become
>blocked at 00-01 by VOA Tibetan via SRI LANKA, plus the inevitable ChiCom
>jamming. Thus I am not surprised at 0001 Nov 1 to hear not Spanish but fair
>signal in some tonal language, not Chinese, so it must really be VOA/SL. I
>can`t detect R. Chaski under it, but will still be able to time its cutoffs
>after 0100 when the Tibetan hour radio war is over, altho I don`t get back in
>time for that tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 5960, Oct 31 at 2346, Turkish pop song in minor key (natch), as VOT
is confirmed back on B-season frequency for 2300 English to Europe and North
America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 15335, Oct 31 at 2358, Bow Bells, fair with flutter. BBCWS news
from 0000 and also on // 15755 which is slightly stronger. HFCC shows both at
00-02; 15335, 100 kW, 13 degrees from SINGAPORE, and 15755, 250 kW, 25 degrees
from THAILAND. Both inadvertently aim onward beyond east Asia to North America.
Isn`t there any way to stop the signals from getting this far? We aren`t
supposed to listen to BBC on SW over here! So I tune on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1693 monitoring: confirmed first airing Thursday Oct
31 at 2101:29 on WTWW-1 9479. Confirmed second airing just before 0328 UT
Friday on WWRB 3195, back on winter channel. Thence: UT Saturday 0200v on Area
51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB; Saturday 0630 & 1430 on HLR 7265-CUSB (unconfirmed);
Saturday 1500 on WRMI 9955; Saturday 2327v on WTWW-2 9930; UT Sunday 0401v on
WTWW-1 5830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3215, Oct 31 at 2350 looking for another rant from Dave, but instead
it`s heavy but primitive organ music --- for Hallowe`en, or regular filler?
Recheck at 0003 November 1, it`s off the air, not on 3195 either yet, and 3185
BS is on as usual. Rerecheck at 0017 organ is back on 3215, and still at 0026
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5110v-CUSB, Nov 1 at 0024, WBCQ is again playing back an elder `Allan
Weiner Worldwide`, apparently from September since he mentions that Jennifer
died ``early last month``. With Mel on the phone, he was about to read an email
from Karen, musing on how few/many YLs listen to SW, when interrupted by
another phone call. Just like live radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
