** CHINA [and non]. 7310, Nov 15 at 1348, CCCCCCI, making low rumble as
something is slightly off-frequency. At 13-14 per Aoki, we have a 300 kW
transmission from Tamsui District, Taiwan, of Sound of Hope, which requires
heavy jamming; but also in Aoki are R. Rossii from Moskva, and PBS Xinjiang
from Urumqi, not to mention 1 kW from Kall, Germany. There is another 300 kW
SOH hour at 23-24, following exactly the same parameters relaying RFI Chinese
at 22-23 --- wonder if the ChiCom suffer that to be audible, avoid jamming it?
Search for Firedrake [non] CNR1 jamming 12-18 MHz, at 1444-1448 Nov 15 finds
none at all; E Asian signals are still very good only up to 12 MHz.
9495, Nov 15 at 1510, CCCCCCI, at least two talkers in Chinese making fast SAH,
i.e. RFA in Chinese via SAIPAN and CNR1 jammer(s).
9790, Nov 15 at 1512, Firedrake music mixing with Chinese talk, very good
signals, i.e. RFA in Chinese also via SAIPAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHINA. 15160, Nov 15 at 0106 vocal music in Chinese. I was expecting to hear
Spain and Australia colliding during this hour as usual, but current skeds show
Spain is no longer on 15160. RA still starts at 0100, but all I am hearing now
is CRI, 500 kW, 59 degrees USward from Jinhua 831 site per Aoki with EiBi and
HFCC agreeing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11880, Nov 14 at 257, RHC in French, wrong language; per own schedule
is supposed to be Portuguese at 2130-2200; 2200 into correct English.
11840, Nov 14 at 2158, RHC IS is very undermodulated, before Spanish.
6070, Nov 15 at 0100, tune in to last part of RHC Spanish frequency
announcement just in time to hear ``6010, 6060, 6070 y desde las 01 a 05 en
5040``. 6010?! fortunately NOT on the air now or anywhen, AFAIK. And 5040 now
lasts until 0600 before English. Yet this can`t be an outdated canned
announcement since it does include correctly the new 6070. It`s just plain
wrong about the others.
11840, Nov 15 at 1352, no RHC unlike 24 hours ago; at that time 11750 was not
on either, and is not supposed to start until 1400; but today, 11750 is already
on at 1352, so that could indeed have been the transmitter on wrong 11840
yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 9709-9732, Nov 15 at 0053, OTH radar pulses, presumed from here,
main victim being the open carrier from Cairo on 9720 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 9965, Nov 15 at 0054, no signal from Cairo, which is normally quite
strong and totally worthless with little or distorted Arabic modulation. Weaker
dead carrier on 9720 is still there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5910, Nov 15 at 1339, it`s Friday, so Shiokaze is in
English: concluding ``flash news`` segment with sounders, quick item from Daily
NK; ``This is Sea Breeze, Shiokaze, from Tokyo, Japan``; only fair signal and
readability 3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9775, Nov 15 at 1349, good open carrier before R. Free
Chosun, at 14-16, which Aoki and EiBi still put in TAJIKISTAN [and HFCC puts
nowhere], tho my doubts continue to lead to a much further east place such as
Philippines, Palau, Tinian or Taiwan. Still good in Korean at 1443 check with
some flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 750, Nov 15 at 0117, convenient pause in Mexican music for ID ``La
Huasteca, 90.5 y 750 AM``. WSB could be completely nulled, and this is the
usual occupant, of the nine XEs on 750 per IRCA 2012 log: XETI, 10000/250
watts, Tempoal, Veracruz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1090, Nov 15 at 1331, Milenio ID, federal PSAs for Senado, Suprema
Corte, 1333 ``Escucha XEAU, Milenio Radio, 1,090 AM, desde Monterrey, Nuevo
Le?n, M?xico``. 5000/250 watts per IRCA.
The Aug-Oct ``season`` of NW Mexicans pounding in for sunrise skip seems over,
as weak or no signals on 650, 710, 730, etc., etc. during the previous
quarter-hour; or maybe my own waking schedule is out of synch with it? Today`s
Enid sunrise was 1309 UT, but will laten to 1343 in a bimonth, per gaisma.com.
I suspect the shifting angle of the terminator has something to do with it, not
merely sunrise times (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 6170, Nov 15 at 1344, island music --- oh oh, RNZI is on wrong
frequency *again*, nothing on 5950 where it`s supposed to reside in B-13. Fair
signal. 1359 in Maori mentioning Aotearoa a few times, timesignal to 1400 and
then news in English. Now after 1400 it should be colliding with N Korea in
Russian, but not hearing that here; RNZI fading way down by 1410, which it
would also do marginally earlier on lower 5950. Guess what: the last time I
caught them on 6170 instead of 5950 was exactly one week ago on Friday: perhaps
their weekly computer-controlled schedule is set up that way. Is no one paying
attention at HQ? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Nov 15 at 0059, usual weak carrier from presumed R. Chaski, but
already off at 0102 as I prepare to time the cutoff. Have they reset timer
already long before it precess to circa 0106*? Or is it just missing tonight?
The carrier before 0100 could have been the VOA/Chicom radio war. We`ll see
next time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOMALILAND. 7120-, Nov 15 at 1345, JBA AM carrier from presumed R. Hargeisa
is a little stronger than usual, vs CW QRhaM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 21630, Friday Nov 15 at 1355, yet another check of the REE
announcement about a frequency change from this to 21640: finally, today after
IS and ID, they give the effective date: tomorrow, Nov 16. Wait a minute: this
transmission at 13-17 had been announced as M-F only, so do they really mean
starting Nov 18?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [and non]. 9625, Nov 15 at 1349, big steady open carrier; stronger
than the OC on 9775 prior to R. Free Chosun, from??? At 1358, 9775 already in
Vietnamese, so per Aoki, it`s RTI, 14-15, 300 kW, 250 degrees from Paochung,
that site still in business. Other E Asian signals are also VG today but only
below 12 MHz; such as Taiwan in Japanese on 9735; Japan in Japanese on 9750
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1695 monitoring: confirmed first airing on WTWW-1,
9475, Thursday Nov 14 starting at 2201:35.
Second airing confirmed on WWRB webcast, UT Friday Nov 15 at 0430; first, Dave
cuts off the preacher in progress to announce that WOR can also be heard on
5050-USB. Circa 0447, both that and AM 3195 checked here, both good but 3195
stronger. Earlier at 0057 I noticed that 5050 was on again tonight and in USB
playing ``American Patrol`` jazzy version.
Further WOR airings: UT Saturday 0300v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB; Saturday
0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB; Saturday 1600 on WRMI 9955; UT
Sunday 0030 on WTWW-2 5085; UT Sunday 0501 on WTWW-1 5830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5830, Nov 15 at 1339, WTWW-1 is off and not on 9475 either; 5085 is
on; by next check 1441, all three are on and modulating: 9475, 9930, 12105
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1100, Nov 15 at 1329 UT, 210-area code ad, ``AM 1100 KDRY, K-dry, 50
years of broadcasting``. Next program sponsored by Living on the Edge; 1330
only a rumbling noise, maybe else during fade, as 1331 back up citing
Philippians I: 27-30 which somehow leads to a football analogy.
KDRY is 11000/1000 U2 in Alamo Heights (San Antonio) TX. Thought there might
have been a break for switch from night to day power and pattern, but official
November sunrise was already at 1300 UT. New NRC Pattern Book 2013 shows
non-direxional circular day and night, but FCC AM Query shows night pattern is
cardioid with deep null to the NE and very little northward toward me; anyhow
it would be on ND day by now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. TP carrier search Nov 15 finds JBA carriers: 774 at 1321; 882 at
1322; 1053 at 1323 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Ol?, Brasileiros, acham que este sinal venha do Brasil? 1200 kHz,
e qual ??
This evening I had some (Brazilian) Portuguese on 1200 at 0124 UT November 15;
with WOAI nulled, which must have been in a fade as it gradually took over
again. It`s all talk, first a man mentioning ``espiritual`` and then a woman
talking as the QRM grows.
The first Brazilian I think of is R. Cultura, S?o Paulo, or rather Cultura
Brasil as it is now known, but it should be mostly music. It`s 100 kW but only
20 kW at night; and there are five others of lower powers.
CJRJ in Vancouver is multi-cultural, but mostly Punjabi and apparently no
Portuguese per their schedule. A few Spanish in the US such as WJUA (ex-WINK)
in Florida, Mexican music, and WRTO in Chicago, Univisi?n, but hard to imagine
them slipping into Portuguese.
This was not ``Portunhol`` -- the Davi Miranda wacko preaching which is a
mixture of languages, heard on many SW stations.
There are several Mexicans on 1200, but again why would they have anything in
Portuguese, or why would anything outside of Brasil?
Could there be some other ethnic and/or religious station in the USA?
Here`s my clip; please listen and offer any suggestions. It`s best at the first
but after two minutes, can only be heard under WOAI.
http://www.w4uvh.net/1200Braz.rm
You`ll note a subaudible heterodyne of almost 4 Hz against WOAI in case that
helps to ID it. Surprised to see WOAI at 36 Hz hi as of September 15, 2013 in
mwoffsets. Only Brazilian listed there is Fortaleza, 7 Hz lo. Please copy
directly to me as well as list reply. Tnx. 73, (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, USA, to
several MW lists, via DXLD)
Only replies so far are these, via the radioescutas yg:
``Hello Glen[n], the radio that you received is from Brazil, the accent of the
speaker is in northeastern Brazil, I think it is the radio club Fortaleza Cear?
1200 kHz
http://www.radioclubece.com.br/
73's Fran - S?o Paulo - Brasil``
``Glenn, Something makes me think this is not from Brazil. The "sound" and kind
of fading takes more to a middle range signal. I think the man talking is a
Brazilian, yes, but sounds as he is trying to talk to a Spanish language
audience (final Ls in espiritual, "de la noche" etc.). I agree with you this is
not the Davi Miranda "portunhol``, but is something similar. Hope you can find
the solution. Rocco Cotroneo, Rio de Janeiro`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1200, Nov 15 at 0650 UT, another check with WOAI nulled, after
hearing Portuguese earlier: now it`s a YL jazz singer in English, making SAH of
150/minute = 2.5 Hz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. TA carrier search Nov 15 finds JBA carriers or making hets: 1521
at 0110; 1215 at 0111; 945 at 0113; 774 at 0114 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
