Due to technical problems our 24th August test broadcasts was on air only
35 minutes (instead of 3 hours) until 1733 UTC.
Reception reports, found fully correct, were received from Germany
(including a listener in USA using a Perseus receiver in Berlin) and Spain
despite a shorter test transmission.
The next test broadcast is scheduled today, 26th August 2015, from
approximately 1700 to 1845 UTC. Our frequency is 11390 kHz and power in the
region of 30 watts. Test broadcasts consist of non stop music and station
identification announcements in Italian, English, Spanish and Catalan.
MRI encourages reception reports from listeners. Audio clips (mp3-file) of
our broadcasts are welcome!
We QSL 100%. Our E-mail address is: [email protected]
We hope that you will share this information with your members.

** CUBA. 6165, Aug 26 at 0528, RHC English is back on; it was AWOL at previous
check 0232 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 570, Aug 26 at 1128 UT, ``XEBJB, Nueva Vida``, Monterrey ID with 5
mil watts, Grupo Radio Alegr?a. New slogan, ex-Notiradio 570, as of last year`s
IRCA Log, Cant? as of Feb, and WRTH 2015. Implies Christian format now (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 650, Aug 26 at 1130 UT, song in ode to glorious Sinaloa, mentioning
its main cities, but nothing about its main industry; 1134 Radio K jingle, and
plug for Grupo Ch?vez, 1135 live opening(?) for `Buenos D?as, Yardero` show,
i.e. XETNT Los Mochis, a regular here around sunrise, usually too early for me
in summer (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 660, Aug 26 at 1125 UT, ``Guadalajara`` song is playing; I was
hoping to correlate it with a Tapat?an on this frequency, but there are none,
so it could have been anyMexican with a great classic song, followed by another
romantic one (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 780, Aug 26 at 1139 UT, ``La Poderosa, 103.5 y 780`` ID, 6:39 TC;
i.e. XESFT, San Fernando, Tamaulipas, 5/1 kW; with KSPI OK nulled, otherwise,
makes annoying low audible het with it; also afflicting WBBM in the evenings
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. In the last week of August we are still getting some sporadic E
openings. August 26, UT:
1500 on 2, fade-in some CCI
1512 on 2, fade-in with better signal, video only, f bug in LR, i.e. Televisa-4
network, Foro TV
1518 on 2, MATUTINO EXPRESS large font diagonal program title wandering around
behind anchors; 1519 some Spanish audio attained, also 1528, 1543 as opening
continues, this station dominating the CCI. Will it surpass 60 MHz?
Anyhow this rules out XHY-TV M?rida, which has its own morning show, Calle 61
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 13725-13730-13735, Aug 26 at 0523, DRM noise, i.e. the
temporarily augmented DRM radiation of RNZI, for HFCC Brisbane, at 0459-0650 on
13730 and an almost-full schedule around the clock thru Aug 28 only. Meanwhile
RNZI VG as usual on AM 11725 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Call change at 1650 KYHN --- DX-midAMerica reports 1650 WFSM AR
Ft. Smith [NewsTALK] ex: KHYN [sic]. Best wishes (Barry :-) Davies, Carlisle
UK, Aug 20, MWCircle yg via DXLD)
1650 KYHN AR Fort Smith ? Call change to WFSM (Aug. 14) (AM Switch, NRC DX News
Aug 31 via DXLD)
Don`t you believe it. I`m surprised no one points out that a W-call at the
western edge of ARKANSAS (site and office in Sallisaw, OKLAHOMA) would be very
unlikely, far west of the Mississippi. Perhaps they believe the FCC which
indeed now shows WFSM:
https://transition.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/amq?list=0&facid=87114
BUT, I monitored at 1059 UT August 26 and definitely heard a singing ID as
``Arklahoma`s Talk Station KYHN, Fort Smith``, and CBS News.
Possibly the intention was to change to KFSM, which still shows as an unused
call on AM. But KFSM-TV is a call in Ft Smith, channel 18, CBS affiliate;
different licensees:
https://transition.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/tvq?list=0&facid=66469
This would not be the first time FCC info conflicts with station announcements
around here, i.e. KEOR vs KETU Catoosa etc. 1120 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [and non]. 13800, Aug 26 at 0522, R. Dabanga good via MADAGASCAR, also
poor signal from jammer carrier making het from about 13801 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1787 monitoring: confirmed after 1315 UT
Wednesday August 26 on WRMI, 9955, sufficient without jamming. NOT confirmed
Wed Aug 26 after 1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio, 7265-CUSB: no signal from that
on the UTwente SDR. Is HLR completely off the air currently? Next:
Wed 2100 on WBCQ 7490v
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 2660-AM, Aug 26 at 0534 UT, very poor signal, but enough to make
out some bits of music now; can`t tell if it`s gospel, as to be expected from
KGLD 1330 Tyler TX second harmonic, which I did ID a couple years ago. Re-IDing
it will be tough, but the noise level was lower tonight. It`s non-direxional,
1000 watts day, 77 watts night, 500 watts PSRA, and if really being heard on a
fraxion of night power now, would have a better chance around SR/SS with step
up to day or PSRA power (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Fotos : Radio Difusora Acreana
71 anos de funda??o da R?dio Difusora Acreana, considerada a m?e da
radiofonia acreana, por n?o dizer a mais tradicional emissora do Estado do
Acre. Muitas autoridades, do munic?pio e do Estado se fizeram presentes,
entre elas a secret?ria de Comunica??o, Andrea Zilio. Muitos discursos
animadores, como tem se tornado tradi??o a cada ano no anivers?rio da
emissora. Entre ganhos e perdas, a RDA como ? mais conhecida na cidade ou
Voz das Selvas, no interior, vai se mantendo. Entre reclames dos servidores
por melhores sal?rios e a garantia de dias melhores mediante a fala dos
presentes, a mais antiga Emissora de r?dio do Acre ultrapassa os 71 anos de
exist?ncia hoje sob a dire??o dos jovens Luc Lima e Francineide Dias.
Na Amaz?nia as pessoas falam, conversam, trocam informa??es e recados pelo

** BRAZIL. 4885, Aug 27 at 0211, very poor carrier with talk. It`s been weeks
since either Brazilian has been detected, so one of them is evidently back,
probably not R. Clube do Par?, which when on had a much better signal than
this. Soon confirmed by Daniel Wyllyans, Mato Grosso, on HCDX that R. Dif.
Acreana celebrated its 71st anniversary on Aug 25 by reactivating their TB
transmitter on 4885, first reported by DFS in Japan with
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-Hr5bi1Fdg
as of Aug 26 at 1053. Daniel was hearing it ``now``, 0100-0129 on 26 Aug,
presumably meaning UT 27 Aug. But he says there was QRM from Par?. Full report
in Portuguese, with photos, video:

So, are they going to keep it on the air this time? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11780.1, Aug 27 at 0231, RNA has wandered off frequency again, BUT,
no spurs heard in the usual spots (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9935, Aug 27 at 0226, VOG is still off this whining frequency, but
on 9420 which is only poor now with music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** IRAN. 9512.2, Aug 27 at 0227, very poor carrier with flutter, presumed
Zahedan, IRIB Arabic service scheduled 0030-0230 on 9510. Not much crap out of
9535 RHC tonight; I`ve tuned across this before but didn`t think to precise the
frequency until saw this tip from John Cooper, PA in the NASWA Flashsheet:
``9511.5, IRAN. VOIRI-Zahedan, (T), at 0145, on 21 Aug. The station is off
frequency from its scheduled frequency of 9510. A male speaker is talking in
Arabic. There is a momentary break at 0147 followed by more talk. Poor``
Very likely the same Zahedan transmitter for 9410 at 1700-0030, often reported
off-frequency hetting Greece (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Sporadic E TVDX opening Aug 26 continued from previous report, UT:
1557 on 2, station with `Matutino Express` still on video, but audio from a
different one
1640 on 2, long commercial, probably full infomercial for vacuum cleaner;
finally fade out around 1647
1815 on 2, algo again
1818 on 2, Info 7 bug in LR, video only; 1828 with 1:27 clock below the Info 7
bug, i.e. Azteca-7 net, probably XHTAU Tampico. Lasts several minutes longer
2315 on 2, weak CCI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-USB, Aug 27 at 0202, pirate music, S9 level signal with
ringing sounds; 0204 SF drama audio with SFX; 0206 back to song; I leave the
PL-880 on this with a semiear while I keep bandscanning on the NRD-545, and
missed an ID if there ever was one; still going at 0232 with dramatic
narration; and at 0251 tune-out. I can depend on HF Underground guys for the
IDs: numerous logs here, every one of them from further east than I am, say it
was XLR8:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1210, Aug 27 circa 0255 UT, and anytime I check at night for the
past several weeks, KGYN Guymon always with a good signal in C&W, so obviously
keeps running ND day pattern, 10 kW, instead of westward protecting
Philadelphia and Enid on the way (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN. 7205, Aug 27 at 0246, Omdurman is back on after missing last night,
now with Qur`an, S9 peaks, avoided by hams (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 7405, Aug 27 by 0250, another GB transmitter is on OC prior to taking
over R. Mart? at 0300. So I look for a leapfrog from that over 7365 another 40
kHz lower on 7325; and indeed there is a JBA carrier but can`t match any audio,
as it would typically be mainly from the further signal which is still dead
air. HFCC shows no fundamental scheduled around then on 7325 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST) Cf VATICAN [non], the 7425 leapfrog, 7305 over 7365

** U S A. 9330.1-CUSB, Aug 27 at 0222, WBCQ is back on here, after curtailment
to one hour a day, testing? `Allan Weiner Worldwide` playback as he is talking
about SAQ and the Alexanderson Alternator VLF tests and coordinated ham
activity on 7035, 14035, 3755 SSB, then on to mailbag. Reduced carrier still
on, but dead air when 9330 rechecked at 0246 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 3185, Aug 27 at 0208, no signal from WWRB; because the transmitter is
on 9370 late? No, that`s off too. Only on 5050 with BS; 3185 still off at 0251
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5883.1 & 5895.23, Aug 27 at 0213, intermittent parasitic spur
carriers coming out of the 5890 WWCR transmitter. Can`t they make them match??
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 880-CUSB, Aug 27 at 0224 UT from E/W, sermon and outro as ``encore
2015`` on `Truth for Life`. This IDs my unID of almost 24 hours earlier not as
KLRE Arkansas, but as KHAC Tse Bonito NM, the Christian Navajo station, when I
did not think to detect whether it was lacking any lower sideband which is the
case now; quite an oddity for the MW band, and not obvious with ordinary AM
tuning. Also obvious that KHAC keeps running 10 kW day power at night,
non-direxional; no mere 430 watts, this! Aug FCC LSR/LSS: 1230/0200 UT; Sept:
1300/0130 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 7425, Aug 27 at 0220, VR in Spanish, ~S5, barely //able to
7305, i.e. the Greenville leapfrog mixing product of 7305 over 7365 R. Mart?.
Don`t expect to see 7425 appear on the VR sked (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) See also USA: 7325
** ZAMBIA. 5915, Aug 27 at 0241, weak OC with 1 kHz tone, heavy ACI from 5920
WHRI, no IS heard past 0245, altho Ron Howard replied from California:
``Hi Glenn, Aug 23, on 5915, at 0240 open carrier already on (usually can be
heard as early as 0230); 0244 start of the distinctive African fish eagle IS
(always enjoy hearing it, as it's so different).
To hear a very clear audio, go to http://www.intervalsignals.net/index.htm
David Kernick's wonderful website for interval signals. BTW - The African fish
eagle is the national bird of Zambia`` As I quote him on WORLD OF RADIO 1788
