BRAZIL Re 11780v wanders up frequency alot.
Today Jan 27 at 0710 UT RNB noted on much odd 11783.215 kHz, and hit heavily
CRI English from Cerrik Albania relay on 11785.0 kHz.
\\ RNB on 6180.004 kHz in 49mb.
11783v S=8 in California post, S=7 in Queensland.
6180v S=9 in California post, poor S=5 just above threshold on sunset in
Queensland.

BRAZIL. 11780.1, Jan 21 at 0620, RNA is playing "Cielito Lindo"
in Brazuguese version, also // 6180. Just tuned over from 9420/7475
Greece, q.v., another mostly-music station we enjoy, a hard choice
between them. 0655 ID with slogan "Nacional da Amaz?nia --- voz mais
perto de voc?". It`s notable that 11780 is always the 25m SSOB in the
nightmiddle, and even the OSOB.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST, Jan 22)
BRAZIL. 11783.1, Jan 25 at 2118 as RNB is strengthening, it`s still way
off-11780-frequency. This time I measure it by the notes-on-the-keyboard
method against 11784 and 11782 BFOs: A very close beat to A5 = 880 Hz below
11784, so that`s 11783.12. From 11782 it`s Eb6 = 1244 Hz above, or 11783.24,
so make it somewhere between those like 11783.18, but closer I think to
11783.12 kHz.

** AMSTERDAM ISLAND [and non]. 14180-USB, Jan 27 at 1448, FT5ZM, on the
DX-pedition, finally located here, after hearing pileups below it, mainly
14175, from 1443. WA5TYJ was reciting nothing but his call over and over, then
QSYed to 14168. Several other stations attempting to contact FT5ZM on
frequencies in between, because he says ``listening down`` without specifying
any particular frequency. Fonetix are always ``Fox Tango Five Zulu Mexico``,
and he gives his call often enough, but not with every single contact as he
should; and many of the 5-9`s he awards are to partial calls, another no-no.
>From one of the closest bits of land to our antipodes, FT5ZM has quite a
>sufficient steady signal, the only problem being QRM from clueless callers on
>the same frequency, jamming by carriers, dits, or even music, and too much ACI
>from stations as close as 2.5 kHz down, as someone also complained. On the
>FRG-7 whose bandwidth is too wide, constant ACI from aside, as if a ragchewer.
Among the calls or semicalls worked by FT5ZM were: N5IOO at 1451; NOS and 4MW
at 1453; K1OYQ at 1454; K9OW at 1456. At 1457, ``QRZ North & South America
only, a difficult path``. Still saying that at 1512; 1519 switch to rest of
world for a while, including BV5RN at 1523, SM5CZQ at 1524.
I`ll bet in their narrow focus on ham radio, it never even occurred to the
NCDXF, that for negligible additional cost they could also have activated
Amsterdam as a shortwave-broadcast country, by letting one of their
transceivers funxion part of the time as a broadcast station, on a broadcast
band, perhaps unattended, just playing a tape loop ID and music.
Website is http://www.amsterdamdx.org/ including a slideshow and very brief
history of the island. So far they`ve raised $336,320 of their $450K goal. I
don`t even see the co?rdinates there, and Amsterdam is so remote that it`s not
indexed in several of my atlases. The biggest one has it at 37-52 south, 77-32
east. That`s further south than Enid is north, which means winters could be
severe, but it`s summer there now. Looks like this will last until about Feb 9
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6165, Jan 26 at 0702, RHC is still on with music, but off a few
minutes later.
6000, Sunday Jan 26 at 0702, RHC`s weekly Esperanto is very good here, tacked
on to one English frequency.
15482, Jan 26 at 1405, RHC spur audible for the second day here, very poor but
// 15340 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 7475, Jan 26 at 0700, IS and clear ID as ``Helliniki Radiophonia``,
poor signal this late. Others have reported some other name between those two
words (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9370, Jan 26 at 2007, instead of TOM, WWRB presents
big hum only. What are we going to do?! On 31m, we can only hear Brother Scare
on 9690, 9930, 9955, 9980! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1705 monitoring: confirmed on Area 51 via WBCQ
5110v-CUSB after 0400 UT Monday January 27, and also on webcast. Next: Tue 1200
on WRMI 9955 southward; new Wed 1400 on WRMI 9955 northward; Wed 0730 & 1530 on
HLR 7265-CUSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5830, Jan 27 at 0626, WTWW-1 is off the air again, while the other TN
stations are inbooming as well as WTWW-2 on 5085 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12050, Jan 26 at 2016, R. Cat?lica Mundial besides the constant
squeal, is very distorted, while // 13830 is just squealing; during ``por su
dolorosa pasi?n`` monomania (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1010, Jan 27 at 0711 UT just as I tune across, ID for ``--- Classic,
KIND``. That`s Independence, in SE KS, not so far but still doing well for only
32 listed watts at night, vs 250 day, non-direxional. Sure would be nice if we
could believe listed night powers when we hear such stations (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1550, Jan 27 at 0641 UT, ad for Subway catering with a 225- area
code. Figured it would most likely be Springfield/Branson, but no, it`s B?ton
Rouge LA! This is on the FRG-7 with E-W longwire, at the moment atop heavy CCI.
So WPFC which is supposedly 42 watts night, 5000 watts day, non-direxional,
``winning people for Christ`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Subject: [HCDX] New features but donors needed
Message-ID: <[email protected]>

January 28 2014
Hello
Now that 2014 is moving along, we need to tell you that we've had
only 6 donations in the past month, to be expected as thoughts and
concerns are elsewhere over the Christmas/New Year period.
The result is that we have to find $1,912 by the end of the month to
meet the overheads.
You'll find more new Retro Radio Dial features now online as we've
had some time to research them over the quiet time, and we've got
some more in the works. We'll do what we can to keep bringing more
features and content online this year, which is also our 10th
anniversary online.
Visits to the website www.radioheritage.net are up these past few
weeks, and we've been fielding a good number of the inquiries that
people make when their focus is on family and memories, and we
continue the work of protecting memorabilia and researching new
features and all the other unseen work that goes behind what we share.
We do need to find this $1,912 in the next few days, so if you can
make a donation towards these overheads right now, it will be very
welcomed........all donations are acknowledged online and you can now
make smaller more regular donations for ongoing sustaining support.
Thanks so much for joining us again in 2014, and do enjoy the new
features we've recently added such as Retro Radio Dial Australia, New
Zealand & Pacific; South East Asia; South Asia; and Brazil....and
keep an eye out for more......
All best wishes for 2014
