Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** AUSTRALIA. 12075, April 8 at 1327, good signal from RBA ID & IS pr?lude,
1330 sign-on to South Asia finally announcing correct frequency 12075 instead
of 11590 which I had not heard since March 30, tho it may have lasted a day or
two longer. So it took about a week for them to catch up to their own QSY:
still announcing ``11590`` as of April 6, unchecked April 7 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11710, 11745 & 11815, April 8 at 0544, crackling spurs from 11780.1v
RNA/RNB still have not been eliminated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 17705, April 8 at 1314, CNR1 jammer echoing and ruining
SAUDI ARABIA, but the real target is All India Radio, Chinese service which has
just moved here for A-15. Recheck at 1318, BSKSA in the clear as AIR ends at
1315.
18990, April 8 at 1317, very poor signal only here on this band, i.e. the Wed &
Sat 13-14 channel for RFA Tibetan via KUWAIT; can`t really tell whether it`s
that or a CNR1 jammer.
16100, April 8 at 1319, CNR1 jammer, poor with flutter. No other OOBs found in
the 17s, 15s, 14s, 13s or 12s. Yet the East Turkistani non-jammer CRI services
in French and English are in very well on 17560, 17630, 17650 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15370, April 8 at 1313, RHC still absent; barely audible on 15230,
better on 17730, 9640, etc. No, website schedule still hasn`t been updated
beyond B-14 until March 7. Wake up, Arnie! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** EGYPT [and non]. 13840-13850-13860, April 8 at 0547, suptorted bigsig from
R. Cairo in Arabic toward N America on 13850 again putting out spurs 10 kHz
above and below, the 13840 one messing with NHK French via MADAGASCAR during
this semihour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE. 15560, April 8 at 0552, poor signal in Arabish? No, must be Swahili
as HFCC shows RFI at 0530-0600, 500 kW, 135 degrees from Issoudun (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 15650, April 8 at 0551, poor signal in Greek // fair 9420, so
ERTOpen (or whatever it`s currently calling itself), with MUF holding up late
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 11990, April 8 at 1405, VOA Korean is overmodulated and
distorted from Tinang transmitter, a recurrent problem on this and
other/previous frequencies; also splattering plus/minus 10. This is on the
21-degree antenna. Usual strong signal since that azimuth crosses: Pusan
(slightly off North Korea), Barrow, Sioux Lookout, Ann Arbor, Myrtle Beach,
ergo, also a North American service (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [and non]. 17855, April 7 at 1912, REE reactivated here with SBG in
Castilian; first time heard since the early few days of A-15. VG signal on the
N American beam, much stronger than // 17715, and also stronger than // 15490
which is second best (and which had been first-best during 17855` absence).
Also JBA on // 15450, so congrats, four transmitters running at once. This
time, no France adjacent on 17850, or is there a JBA carrier there? HFCC does
have RFI registered 19-20 from ISSoudun from 29 March to 29 August only (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [and non]. 13800, April 8 at 0549, R. Dabanga, very good via VATICAN,
and NO tone jamming for a change. But // 11650 is only fair and with tone
jamming.
HFCC shows a confusing site swaparound for 13800, content of which must be
0400-0429 R. Tamazuj, 0429-0559 R. Dabanga:
0400-0430, 250 kW, 138 degrees from FRANCE
0430-0530, 250 kW, 335 degrees from MADAGASCAR
0530-0600, 250 kW, 150 degrees from VATICAN
So at 0529 amid the Dabanga broadcast there would be a site change.
Meanwhile on 11650:
0400-0430, 250 kW, 145 degrees from VATICAN
0430-0600, 250 kW, 146 degrees from VATICAN
What`s the point of a separate listing with a 1-degree azimuth shift? Really a
transmitter change? Both are on Antenna type 216. And BTW amid this also on
11650 at 0400-0500 is CRI Vietnamese via Kunming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1767 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday April 8 on WRMI
9955: gh ID at 1315.1; WOR from 1315.6, good signal but lite pulse jamming: tnx
a lot, Arnie! Next:
Wed 2100 WBCQ 7490v
Thu 0330 WRMI 9955 [or 1768 if ready in time]
Thu 1230 WRMI 9955 [ditto]
Thu 2100 WRMI 7570 [ditto; NEW, unconfirmed]
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Regional tropo enhancement again this morning April 8, Hepburn map
much like yesterday, OK into KS. This time on the Zenith STB DTV converter I
try a different approach than stepping directly thru all the RF channels.
Instead I start tuning thru the virtual channels, and if I see any hesitation
of the NO SIGNAL response to show up, I know there is really a BAD signal
there, and then convert it to what the real RF channel is being tuned. Of
course this only works, I think, on channels previously saved, but there are a
lot of them by now.
On 5.1 I am getting two BAD signals in addition to local KOCO RF 7: One of them
is on RF 18, and the other on RF 41. Checking W9WI.com listings it`s obvious
what both of them have to be in this area, even tho they never decode any
video; and both are gone by 1430 UT:
RF 41, April 8 at 1418 UT, must be KXAS, 390.1 kW, 5.1, Fort Worth TX
RF 18, April 8 at 1418 UT, must be KFSM, 550 kW, 5.1 in Fort Smith AR
[and BTW, the refusal of KFOR OKC RF 27 to decode 24 hours earlier was likely
caused by CCI from another RF 27, KFTA, 600 kW in Fort Smith]
RF 21, April 8 at 1426 UT, BAD signal displays as 40.1, which means it also has
to be Fort Smith AR, 325 kW KHBS.
RF 30, April 8 at 1424 UT, bad signal but labeled 30.1. Listing shows a
KCLJ-LP, 15 kW in Joplin/Carthage MO, but I suspect it`s really K30AE in Alva
OK, OETA translator, which W9WI.com thinx should be displaying as virtual 13,
but IIRC other OETA translators also show real RF channels as virtual.
RF 31, April 8 at 1425 UT, decode as Univisi, i.e. megawatt KDCU-DT licensed to
Derby KS (Wichita market). W9WI.com claims virtual channel 46, but I see it
says 31.1. W9WI.com also shows this with 46.2 UniMAS. I must look for that as
31.2 next time it tropos in.
Furthermore, W9WI.com on ch 31 also has a ``USA DTV channel allotment change
request`` with everything the same except suffix KDCU-DR. What`s that about?
Does that mean applying for a permanent change of channel? If so, which one is
not displayed.
(RF 31 is still open in Enid, no KXOK-LD tho its relay on RF 32 continues
active as described yesterday.) Meanwhile, the other major VHF and UHF signals
from Wichita market are also in, but no deeper into Kansas, some of them
decoding as my antenna remains aimed at OKC.)
RF 43, April 8 at 1426 UT, BAD signal, displays with EIGHT total virtual
subchannels, 43.1 thru 43.8. That means it has to be KCTU-LD, Wichita KS, only
2.7 kW. I`ve previously got it to decode. See W9WI.com for the eight different
programs it allegedly provides (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
