** BRAZIL. 11745, Nov 3 at 0626, distorted spur from 11780 RNA is still audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA [and non]. 6070, Nov 3 at 0633, CFRX has no QubaRM at this hour, but instead, it`s underneath Vatican Latin mass now also on 6070 at 0630 and making SAH of about 6 Hz. HFCC shows 0630-0715 daily with two transmitters, 100 kW at 326 degrees for France, Spain and British Isles (but also carrying on to N America! including Toronto); and 250 kW, 4 degrees for France and Germany. Previous B-seasons, VR was on 6075, why shift? Nothing scheduled at this time on 6075. 6070 also registered for VR at 1940-2015 in Latin, 2140-2200 in Arabic, both also with two transmitters each. If VR doesn`t care about QRM from/to CFRX, you`d think they would be concerned with the 25 kW, 24-hour German now registered for 6070 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. Re previous report about RHC not being heard yet on 3365, but already reported somewhere --- I found the item I was thinking of; could not find it by searching 3365, since it was really 3355: ``3355, RHC, at 1127, on 21 Oct. A female announcer was talking on a live feed with a male speaker and another male talking in the background. A male announcer started talking at 1128 stated Cuba several times then a male and a female talked to each other. Fair (John Cooper, Lebanon, PA; Equipment: Winradio-G33DDC, CommRadio CR-1A, RF Space-SDR-IQ, Sangean ATS-909X w/ Clear Mod, Grundig Satellit 750, Wellbrook ALA 1530+, Super Sloper Tuned All Band Antenna, PARS-SWL End Fed x 2, NASWA Flashsheet Oct 26 via DXLD)`` How do you conclude this was RHC? Was there an RHC ID? Was it // known RHC frequencies? RHC is planning to test on 3365, so maybe this was a pre-test (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 5040, Nov 3 at 0632, this RHC English frequency is now running an hour later, and unlike all the others has some crackling on the audio. Mailbag, acknowledging a July letter from Wisconsin which just arrived. And new frequencies are about to go into effect. However, at 1419 check, 12010 still running, not 11950 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [non]. 7405, Nov 3 at 0629, R. Martà is again on the air Monday morning for the second week after abolishing its silent period, and totally clear VG signal with no jamming, mentions ``(entre paréntesis)``, maybe program title; 0630 ID, and ``Mil ochocientos online``, a toll-free call-in? Surely that would not work from dentro-Cuba. Then check // 6030 with much weaker signal but no jammer there either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 9400, Nov 3 at 1417, Denge Kurdistan with Kurdish ululations, fair signal and clear now that FEBC PHILIPPINES is off after 1400; via PRIDNESTROVYE. Not as good as used to be on 11510 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1745 monitoring: confirmed Sunday November 2 at 2300 on 11580, WRMI. Also confirmed UT Monday November 3 at deshifted time of 0401 UT on Area 51 webcast; however, inaudible on 5110v-CUSB WBCQ at 0427 check, not on the air? Next: Tuesday 1200 on WRMI 9955 (no longer with CCCCI from France/Taiwan) Wednesday 0503 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395 Wednesday 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB Wednesday 1415 on WRMI 9955 Wednesday 2200 on WBCQ 7490v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9395, Nov 3 at 0623, Global 24 via WRMI good signal with rock music on `Rock Pile`, this time equivalent to 9955 RMI level. A sesquihour earlier, Steve Luce, Houston TX, reported to the DXLD yg: ``I'm hearing nothing on 9395 after 0500 Monday November 3. Transmitter off?`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9330-CUSB, Nov 3 at 0624, no signal from WBCQ with BS, off or not propagating after two days of unlisted activity. They had a big snowfall already in northern Maine (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 4840, Nov 3 at 0637 UT, open carrier/dead air from WWCR-3, still so past 0641. `Inspirations Across America` is supposed to air at 12:00 AM CT Mondays --- per program schedule which as of Nov 3 is still dated Oct 26 and with extinct 5-hour time conversion to UT! When no one at WWCR is listening to their own output, how can they expect anyone else to? Dead air is all too common also on domestic stations, over-relying upon automation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** VATICAN. See CANADA [and non] UNIDENTIFIED. 3840-LSB, Nov 3 at 0639-0641+, bits of C&W music on and off randomly, not always QRMing a proper ham talking, but maybe intended to. This kind of thing draws FCC fines, theoretically. Found this exactly 1 MHz below the dead air from WWCR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report despatched at 1831 UT November 3 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
