** ANTARCTICA. 15476 [non], June 6 from 1630 or so I am checking the LRA36
webcast Horacio Nigro told us about,
http://www.radionacional.com.ar/reproductor/reproductor.php?puerto=32
Seems a bit less exotic now; indeed they are on the `air` other than during the
SW hours of 1830-2130 M-F. Lo-fi music alternating with YL talking about
ecological matters; 1705 finally Radio Nacional Arcángel San Gabriel ID (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BOLIVIA. 6155.04 approx., June 7 at 0112, JBA carrier, presumed R. Fides
which was inaudible 24+ hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 5999.6, June 7 at 0114, no het upon RHC 6000.0, so RNB is off again
from its extra frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11815.02 approx., June 7 at 0122, poor music from still reactivated
R. Brasil Central, also some oversplash from 11825 WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15340, June 6 at 1312, no signal here from RHC for the fourth morning
in a row, while 15370 remains active. Beginning to think they have
intentionally dropped 15340 for some reason (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 11710.04 approx., June 7 at 0123, R. Cairo Spanish service with no
modulation, which therefore cannot be distorted; just the big het from
Argentina above it
12070, June 7 at 0123, R. Cairo Spanish, overmodulated, extremely distorted
signal with splatter/pulses out to about plus/minus 15 kHz
9315, June 7 at 0125, R. Cairo Spanish, fair signal and no modulation
9965.0, June 7 at 0125, R. Cairo Arabic, not off-frequency, good signal and
quite readable atop the whine level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 11820, June 7 at 0121, VIRI IS preceding Kazakh service, fair but no
amount of sidetuning or selectivity can get rid of the 11825 BS splash from
WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 12115, June 7 at 0119, very poor signal vs CODAR in talk with
Burmese intonation, as it`s RFA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Bits of analog sporadic E from south, UT June 7:
0040 on 2, fade-in soccer; 0047 one of the teams is PORtugal per scorebug in
UL; other one off screen, but Perú mentioned; preliminary to Mundial?
0158 on 4, turn on TV again to find fair video here but whine on audio, soon
fading
0159 on 2, still soccer, now MEXICO vs PORTUGAL, from somewhere in the daytime
(? Or daylight-like stadium), soon gone
0330 on 2, traces of video (Glenn Hauser, OK, D X LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6772.9-AM, June 6 at 0537, old-time radio drama, far better
signal from this still unID pirate(?) than I have had before, fair at S9+12,
but can`t stay awake much longer.
6771.12 approx., June 7 at 0129, JBA AM carrier, presumably the variable OTR
station (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6925-USB, June 7 at 0103, turn the PL-880 back on to where it
was tuned 23+ hours ago, and here`s another pirate with music; XLR8 IDs at
0105, 0110, 0116 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. RF 31 and // RF 32 intercity relay, KXOK-LD, 31-1, Enid OK, as of
June 6 at 1435 UT check remains active but with NO SOUND! ever since this was
first noted May 20 as in DXLD 14-21. Apparently nothing but a few silenced
infomercials over and over.
Full-screen color bars on both the subchannels 31-2 and 31-3, no sound there
either, instead of M-FOX and Azteca as still claimed on the PSIP IDs. What a
sorry excuse for a TV station (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. During tropo opening from Wichita [see USA], June 6 UT, I am
nevertheless distracted by some Tulsans off the side of antenna:
1624 on RF 42, KMYT-DT [My TV] as 41-1; GetTV as 41-2, ZUUS as 41-3. (W9WI.com
has 41-2 as ZUUS and no 41-3)
1628 on RF 22, turns out to be KOKI-DT Tulsa, not KSNC Great Bend
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OMAN. 9500, June 7 at 0126, RSO with music, poor, back on proper frequency
tho it would be better on 15355 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, June 7 at 0105, JBA carrier from R. Chaski but no jamming
audible for a change. Cut off at 0113:26.5*, which is 5.5 seconds later than
yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [non]. 18980, June 6 at 1315, very poor signals making a medium speed
SAH (~10 Hz), but little audio discernible; however, not // CNR1 jammer on
11785, so either out of synch and/or really the target, RFA Tibetan via KUWAIT,
which chex as on this frequency during this hour on Fridays (and Tuesdays) per
Aoki.
BTW, the only other frequencies in the complex RFA jumparound schedule
depending on day of week and which hour between 11 and 14 UT, are now: 18930,
18990, 19000 and 19010 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5110-v-CUSB, June 7 at 0106, no signal audible from WBCQ, but a JBA
reduced carrier at 0115, so maybe it was also on earlier.
9330-CUSB, June 7 at 0106, this WBCQ transmitter is way out of whack: huge
distorted buzz, with talk modulation on USB, not LSB, somewhat readable, with a
word ``relationships``, presumably still GFRN. Off the air at recheck 0125, as
well it should be until fixed.
7489.88 approx., June 7 at 0109, WBCQ with Brother Scare already on here, so
`Allan Weiner Worldwide` must have run shorter than usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7505.2, June 7 at 0109, WRNO music with big sig, off freq (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12105, June 7 at 0118, poor signal from preacher presumed PPP, not //
9475 which is still bigsig, as is 5085. 12105 usually holds up too this late
across terminator, but not tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Heavy tropo with humidity near 100%, but nothing much further than
Wichita KS, allowing me to explore what several stations are doing with
subchannels, morning of June 6, UT:
1437 on RF26, KSAS 24-2 Wichita with ATN ID on PSIP (Antenna TV), same
programming as on RF27, KFOR 4-2 OKC, but which labels theirs as ANT-TV.
1430 on RF28, no NTSC signal visible, as it was a few weeks ago, the last
analog left, KWKD-LP, Wichita, Daystar. With this heavy opening, it should be
seen if extant. See below -
1455 on RF45, KSNW 3-2 Wichita with Telemun[do]; I notice during some breaks
the 3 KSN ID bug appears lower-right with some PSAs, while KTUZ-29 OKC
Telemundo has real commercials during same steamy novela.
1536 on RF10 and RF21, KAKE-DT is the PSIP on all four channels, i.e.
duplicating 10-1 with KAKE ABC, and 10-2 with MeTV bug in LR, and Wichita below
it.
1600 on RF45, KSNW 3-2 has ID slide showing some other channels for
Telemun[do], but too quick and too tiny to read: presumably also the other main
stations in the original KSNetwork in Garden City, Great Bend, if not Topeka
and Joplin too.
1615 bandscan finds a number of `bad` signals on other RF channels, some
intriguing: 22, 30, 36; at 1623 on 49, 47 too
1627 on RF 28, a bad signal; this may well be Wichita`s KWKD, finally with DTV
CP on replacing analog; see above. (Or spoiler KTPX Ion in Okmulgee OK
megawatt!; see OKLAHOMA)
1630, bad signals on RF 20, 19, 17, 11
1650, bad signal on RF 43
1754 on RF 45, KSNW 3-1 and Telemun 3-2 are still in at almost noon CST;
Hepburn map had predicted intensification of Wichita-area tropo between 12 and
18 UT today rather than burning off; correct
1757 on RF 8, KPTS Wichita is now decoding unlike earlier, including Create on
8-3. Time for lunch (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
