** CANADA. 6070, Feb 12 at 0642, CFRX is back! with talkshow, mostly YL, but heavy ACI this semihour from 6075 Vatican. That should lessen as spring approaches and disappear in A-14 with VR probably moving back up to 7250, at 0530. Tnx to Stephen Wood in MA for tip earlier Feb 12 that it was back on, but so is Radio Habana Cuba, which glommed onto the frequency shortly after CFRX crashed a few months ago, still scheduled 00-05 UT in Spanish.
In the meantime, CFRB stopped running comedy overnight. Here`s the Wednesday schedule in EST [UT -5] from http://www.newstalk1010.com/schedule.aspx 12:00 AM - 2:00 AM Humble & Fred 2:00 AM - 4:00 AM Loveline With Dr. Drew & Mike 4:00 AM - 5:00 AM The Week in Review with John Tory 5:00 AM - 5:30 AM The Early Edition with Robert Turner 5:30 AM - 9:00 AM Adrienne Batra & Peter Shurman 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM Jerry Agar 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Beyond the Mic with Mike Bullard 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM Jim Richards Showgram 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM Live Drive with John Tory 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM Friendly Fire with Ryan Doyle and John Downs 10:00 PM - 12:00 AM The Late Shift with Bill Hayes IIRC, Mayor Ford is no longer welcome at CFRB, but how about his brother? I suspect they really have news on the hour and perhaps other times, ignored above. Next check at 1437 UT Feb 12, could not detect a carrier, which should have been possible even in daytime. Would those closer to Toronto confirm whether it`s still on the air in daytime? Yes, Wolfgang Büschel did with remote receivers which were still getting CFRX at 1900 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1708, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA [and non]. 11780, Feb 12 at 1504, Firedrake with flutter, CCI from presumed victim as in Aoki, VOA Uzbek via Kuwait during this semihour only, as the ChiCom interfere in the internal affairs of Uzbekistan. 9570, Feb 12 at 1513, more Firedrake, also vs VOA Uzbek, this time via Vatican, only during this semihour. FD fair and clear here, off at 1537 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also CUBA [and non] ** CUBA [and non]. 11760, Feb 12 at 1449, RHC with heavy CCCCCCI, tnx to their good friends the ChiCom who have to jam Sound of Hope with CNR1, at 1300-1500 (and per Aoki also Sat & Sun 09-11 before RHC comes up). Yes, 1503 check, RHC is mostly in the clear. Commies vs Commies! 15340, Feb 12 at 1453, RHC is missing yet again, but not much signal from HCJB Australia to uncover this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 7570, Feb 12 at 0640, WRMI is on again with Brother Scare, VG signal. Finally dated Feb 11, WRMI graphic schedule grid has been updated, showing 7570 at 0100-1100, 315 degrees, same transmitter #11 as used on 9955 at 14-22. So that adds 10 hours a day to the BS overkill, back up to 58 instead of 48. No other apparent changes in the frequency grid (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA: WWRB ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1708 monitoring: ready for first broadcast UT Thursday Feb 13 at 0430 on WRMI 9955. Next: Thursday 1330 on WRMI 9955 Thursday 2201 on WTWW 9475 UT Friday 0326v on WWRB 3195 Saturday 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB UT Sunday 0030 on WRMI 9495 UT Sunday 0030 on WTWW 5085 UT Sunday 0501 on WTWW 5830 UT Monday 0400v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB Tuesday 1200 on WRMI 9955 Wednesday 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB Wednesday 1400 on WRMI 9955 Remember, WOR podcasts are available ASAP Thursdays thanks to the Rhein-Main Radio Club. Find the link at the left side of http://www.rmrc.de (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9350 & 9390 peaks, and also everywhere between them and fundamental 9370, Feb 12 at 1443, huge humbuzz atop Brother Scare on WWRB. The transmitter had been putting out spurs for a week or two, but now it`s gone completely bonkers. Notified Dave he should take it off and repair it. Next check at 2012, still on with humbuzz but weaker and not so spurry. Presumably the same transmitter funxions at night on 3185, but have not noticed any such problems around that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. They must have read it in the WRTH Update: WINB homepage says: ``NOTICE Beginning March 1, 2014, WINB will broadcast the entire schedule on 9265 kHz.`` This means the signal will sink into the summer daytime noise level, but why not? Already gone is the only program worth listening to, `Wavescan`, instead an unID gospel huxter at 2015 Wednesday Feb 12 on 13570. I was going to http://www.winb.com to check the program schedule on that, which has finally been updated as of Feb 9. Wed 2000-2030 UT is now `King`s Embassy of the Air`. And Wavescan is nowhere else on it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 7505-SSB, Feb 12 at 0638 tuneacross, ``how copy?`` and out. Sounds like a US military frequency, maybe MARS. They may have something to say about WRNO intruding (or somewhere near there), or maybe cool with it for only three hours a day?
