** AUSTRALIA. 15550-, May 21 at 1230, fair signal with gospel huxter in English, consecutive translations to Chinese, as this is scheduled 1215-1245 from RBA Kununurra. Slightly on the lo side compared to WEWN 11550, Cuba 9550 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. 12085, May 21 at 1234, R. Australia is back on during TV news hour, much stronger than // and QRMed 12065 which is still colliding with Kamalabad, Iran in Dari at 1150-1450; worse: 12065 is the RA frequency aimed into Asia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BRAZIL. 9725, May 21 at 0541, R. Aparecida religious music via RB2, a very slight echo behind original R. Aparecida on 9630 at about equal fair levels; also on 11855, but not on 11935 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. 5910, May 21 at 1137, several English expressions, such as ``Communist Party``, ``1945, Potsdam`` + Spanish ``Alemania``, fair signal. Must be Filipino, as scheduled this semihour from CRI Beijing site. Where would Tagalog be without such heavy English and Spanish input? Which has hardly been reciprocated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EGYPT. 13850, May 21 at 0535, no signal from R. Cairo, tho plenty signals from Europe are in on band; seems another of their useless transmitters has crashed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** FRANCE [non]. 17660, May 21 at 1220, RFI in French with good signal, the SSOB by far, as the East Turkistanis are hardly there until later in the hour on 17560, 17630, 17650. Yet this declines to very poor by 1256. Discussion of Syrian cinema, in Paris? occasional comments in Spanish translated. HFCC shows this hour is registered both via South Africa and Madagascar, but no echo, so which is it? Aoki and EiBi pick the latter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NIGERIA. Correcting previous report; tnx to Thorsten Hallmann: 9689.9, good // 7255- [NOT 7275 as mistyped in original report: must have been thinking of an extinct Nigerian regional], May 19 at 0601, fair signal in Hausa, so 3 VON transmitters still on. 15120-, May 21 at 0531, VON with very good signal, introducing show `Moving On` about Nigerian, African, and rest-of-world issues, but first some music. A bit overmodulated, and carrier wobbling as usual slightly on the low side. Not up to check 7 & 9 MHz after 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 2899.76 approx., May 21 at 1143 UT, KWHW 2 x harmonic is still here, but much weaker than before, with music; and no better at 1243 & 1345 UT chex. I remeasure it compared to WWV at 1243. So our fun with this is ending as the Altusians are obviously working on the harmonic but have not yet eliminated it completely. I wish I could hear what 1450- has been sounding like locally, if anything (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SUDAN [and non]. 13800, May 21 at 0534, R. Dabanga via VATICAN, good signal, no jamming audible; 11645, May 21 at 0537, R. Dabanga via VATICAN, fair signal and 1 kHz DSB modulated tone jammer is still on 11650, weaker (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1774 monitoring: first SW airing confirmed after 1130 UT Thursday May 21 on WRMI 9955, and with Cuban pulse jamming: tnx a lot, Arnie!

Still putting way too much signal into what is supposed to be notch toward KDKA, but at least it`s only a SAH away from KOKP nulled from here as much as possible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** VATICAN [non]. 15370, May 21 at 1240, station in Russian and bits of Italian mentioning Krystiani, poor signal. I`ll bet it`s VR: yes, Russian via IBB Tinang, PHILIPPINES site during this semihour, violating Separation of Church and State (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 11410-SSB, May 21 at 1254, very intermittent talk somewhat melodic, very poor, presumed the Indonesian QSO pirate(s) which infest the lower 11.4s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) _ 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.
