** AUSTRALIA. 12365-USB, poor signal March 19 at 1333, marine weather
mentioning Gulf of Carpinteria, i.e. VMC, Charleville, Queensland; on the
FRG-7`s bandwidth, also scratchy ACI from much weaker signal on 12362-USB with
more marine weather, i.e. sibling station VMW in Wiluna, Western Australia
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BANGLADESH. 15505, March 19 at 1359, no signal from Bangladesh Betar: with
BFO I soon hear the carrier cut on and off, but not back on until 1400.3 or so,
missing any mistimesignal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BURMA [non]. 13735, March 19 at 1336, RFA certainly in Burmese, fair signal
and no ACI yet from CRI/Cuba; via TINIAN. At 1400, 13735 switches to RFA
Vietnamese via Saipan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 11635, March 19 at 1245, Firedrake music mixing with CCCCCCI, vs VOA
Chinese via Thailand at 12-14; but at 1311 no Firedrake, just CNR1 vs VOA.
15375, March 19 at 1338, Firedrake and CNR1 jamming mixed, poor-fair, vs RFA
Tibetan via Tajikistan until 1400
16100, March 19 at 1339, CNR1 jammer vs Sound of Hope, fair with flutter; no
others way-out-of-band from 12 to 19 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EAST TURKISTAN. 15445, March 19 at 0517, Russian, fair with flutter and //
15615. 15445 is listed as CRI via Kashgar, but nothing ever listed on 15615.
[Except EiBi with VMW fax, but not during this hour]. Also Russian on 15665,
yet noted as not // the others, altho this too is Kashgar (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 3325, very poor March 19 at 1253, YL talk in presumed Indonesian,
from RRI Palangkaraya; by 1257 no modulation audible past 1300 tho seems still
enough carrier, so dead air? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH. 15575, March 19 at 1343, KBS World Radio starting Wednesday
feature `Sound of Korea`. Poor signal with heavy flutter, and can`t really
enjoy it or copy all the commentary, but the folk music is interesting; this
week`s theme: songs about farming. Maybe it`ll be better in 72 hours for
Saturday`s `Listeners Lounge` including DX news (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1700 new station: re my unID heard with Mexican anthem at 1245 UT,
Juli?n Santiago D?ez de Bonilla in the DF writes: ``Hola Glenn, estoy
nuevamente escuchando m?sica mexicana [KKLF] en los 1700 kHz por detr?s de la
texana en ingl?s [KVNS].
Me informa mi amigo H?ctor Garc?a Bojorge que, de acuerdo a la p?gina del
Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones de M?xico hay el registro de una
radiodifusora permisionada con el indicativo nominal XEFCSM ubicada en M?rida,
Yucat?n con autorizaci?n para emitir con 50 kW en el d?a y 1 kW en la noche. La
fecha del permiso es a partir de abril del 2013 [sic] y est? a cargo de la
Fundaci?n Cultural para la Sociedad Mexicana, A.C. Quiz? sea esta emisora que
est? realizando pruebas. El permiso para XEFCSM es en los 1700 kHz. Enviado
desde mi iPad. Saludos, Juli?n``.
M?rida sunrise/sunset currently: 1203/0009 UT. I asked our correspondent in
Yucat?n about this, and he promptly replies March 19:
``Estimado Sr. Hauser: Posiblemente se trate de pruebas de una emisora cat?lica
(ver
http://www.thestationofthecross.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Travel_Guide_111513.pdf
aunque recordemos que el gobierno mexicano ha sido muy restrictivo por lo que
es probable que est? a nombre de una asociaci?n civil (A.C.) y no asociaci?n
religiosa (A.R.); algunas organizaciones religiosas en el pasado se investieron
de agrupaciones culturales a fin de operar sin acoso gubernamental en el
pasado.
En el cuadrante (dial) en M?rida la mayor?a de las estaciones est?n en la onda
media en frecuencias bajas y medianas y la mayor?a de los receptores solo
llegan a 1600 o 1650 a lo mucho (me parece que tengo por ah? uno que llega a
los 1700 tal vez; es algo viejo y voy a verificarlo).
Hace alg?n tiempo estuve conversando con la locutora Alma Estrada de Radio
Mar?a y nos coment? que su estaci?n dej? de rentar una frecuencia de 930 kHz
XEUL debido a que pretend?a migrar en Cadena Rasa Yucat?n a la FM (cosa que al
parecer no han completado y han tenido problemas con algunas frecuencias de AM
y FM en su transmisi?n seg?n le pregunt? a una de sus locutoras) y luego
rentaron 760 kHz XEYW al Grupo Rivas, aunque recientemente al parecer dejaron
de hacerlo pues ya no se escucha. De todas maneras me he puesto en contacto con
la locutora a ver lo que me contesta; apenas me diga le respondo. Atte.: Ing.
Civ. Israel Gonz?lez Ahumada, M.I.``
That Catholic Radio Update Travel Guide dated November 15, 2013, does include
this: ``M?rida, Yucat?n XEFCSM ? 1700`` the dagger meaning ``not on air yet,
but may soon be`` and another symbol, an `m` with a tail, signifying Radio
Mar?a (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [non]. 15520, March 19 from 1403 I am waiting for V. of Tibet via
MADAGASCAR to jump frequency, which is usually around 1407-1408; but it keeps
going on 15520, until finally 1412.5 jump to 15515, leaving the CNR1 jammer
behind, which was really too weak to detect under VOT. At 1413 brief English
clip, sounds like Dalai Lama himself (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1712 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday March 19 at 1400
on WRMI 9955, NW antenna with VG signal. Next: 0330 UT Thursday on 9955, SSE
antenna, when I probably will not have 1713 ready yet, but surely by 1230
Thursday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9930, March 19 at 1408, WTWW-2 is off again, while 9475 and 12105 are
on. Must still be repairing it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, March 19 at 1340, music on VP signal, but increasing to P as I
listen, KVOH starting to propagate here. Ray Robinson points out that listeners
in Cuba are hearing it well earlier than I am, as the MUF is already up at the
midpoint over TX, but takes a bit longer to build up at the midpoint to here,
near Gallup NM. Habana is almost exactly twice as far from Rancho Simi than
Enid is (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1330, March 19 at 1303 UT, C&W music atop KNSS Wichita making fast
SAH (~15 Hz), which was dominant before 1300 UT; 1315 UT timecheck and more
music; 1318 UT KNSS atop; 1321 UT KCKM Monahans TX regains dominance at SRS,
with adstring including Quality Cleaners in Kermit & Robo Cleaners in Monahans;
truckers needed in Pecos (pronounced PAY-kuss); 8:22 TC, plug Bob Martin news
later [is that the ex? TV anchor in Albuquerque?]; headlines include mercury
spill at a school, radiation in Carlsbad NM. Singing ID at 1324, back to music,
by B J Thomas.
I can hear KCKM just about any morning as its 12 kW daytime ND gets out very
well despite much closer and daytime groundwaver KNSS Wichita KS. Official
SR/SS in March are 1300/0100 UT, as it`s way west of the meridian and should be
in the MST zone UT -7 instead of CDT UT -5.
I`m checking it out today as pr?lude to the big DX test scheduled with same day
facilities, UT Saturday March 22 at 0500-0530 UT including code IDs, sweep
tones, SFX and IDs. This test is a direct outgrowth of an unsolicited verie I
got from KCKM last year, and reported as in
http://www.w4uvh.net/dxld1316.txt
as well as in my weekly MW log reports:
1330, KCKM: received an unsolicited e-mail verie April 12:
``Glenn, I noticed in your DX log that you received KCKM in early April, just
minutes before we dropped power. Our recent upgrade to 12,000 watts
non-directional day combined with our 1/2 wave tower has made KCKM a great
catch in the final minutes of daytime power. Congratulations! Attached is our
coverage map. [Axually it was am, not pm].
And one more thing, we will be switching to C-QUAM AM Stereo on 1330 kHz by the
end of the year. A lot of my contemporaries think I'm insane and that's OK.
It's about time other AM broadcasters revisit AM Stereo.
I bought this place 6 years ago. It was licensed for 5000 watts but was running
2200 watts. It was off-the-air and about to surrender the license to the FCC.
What a mess! But, I could see the potential.
Two years ago, I discovered KOYL in Odessa was gone for good. They were at 1310
kHz. That allowed me to upgrade to 12,000 watts. Sadly, a lot of stand-alone
AM's in smaller communities are gone.
It cost a lot to rebuild this facility. It was a labor of love as I'm not sure
I'll be able to recover this investment.
If you belong to any DX clubs, I'd be happy to run 12,000 watts after midnight
if they're interested. Bob Souza, Managing Partner`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1700, March 19 at 0531 UT, break in Mexican music, for ID in
unaccented English, ``Reaching the Metroplex with a totally Tejano sound,
Kick-1700``, right back to m?sica which is by definition tejana, dominant at
the moment. Still haven`t caught a legal ID at hourtop for presumed KKLF
Richardson TX, ex-comedy, ex-sports, ex-KLIF simulcaster (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 11830, March 19 at 0513, open carrier, fair with
flutter; next check at 0520, it`s off. Nothing at all is scheduled here, but
possibly Sirjan, Iran, which is on 11830 at 1720 in Swahili, 2220 in
Indonesian. Similar signal on 13680 at 0515 with JBM talk, Russian? Yes, that`s
Sirjan until 0520 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
