** BIAFRA [non]. 15560, Sept 1 at 1807, another attempt to hear the new
clandestine Radio Biafra, but it`s only a JBA carrier on the NRD-545; unlike
Vatican direct in Portuguese on 15570, VOA Amharic from Woofferton on 15630,
both fairly good; but NO sign of VOA English via Botswana on 15580! So R.
Biafra continues to unseem out of a western Europe site such as Issoudun,
France. Other obvious possible sites for R. Biafra would be Madagascar or South
Africa, but should provide better signals onward to here. Instead it could be a
ME site such as UAE which can reach central Africa well from the other side,
but not much our way (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BOLIVIA [and non]. 6155.05, Sept 1 at 0048, talk in Quechua? And het from a
6155.00 station, as the upper one`s carrier is slightly unstable. Presumed R.
Fides, which is usually closer to 6155.10. The lower one is presumably AIR
Aligarh in Urdu from 0015 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 2598-SSB, Aug 31 at 0520 UT, too weak talk to copy, but it`s a
Canadian CG frequency for N/L marine weather. Per Bill Hepburn`s schedule at
this hour,
http://www.dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm
it`s the one QC station in this group, CJH-22, Natashquan (Rivi?re au Renard),
which is on the coast ouest of Terre-Neuve, starting at 0437 --- that`s quite a
while ago, but no further broadcasts among the seven stations until Placentia
at 0737 UT.
I was also looking for the 2600-AM carrier, probable MW harmonic, but not heard
now, apparently needing daytime facility circa sunset (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15700, Sept 1 at 1401, still dead air from CRI English relay; finally
cuts on modulation at 1402.3. The ChiCom don`t trust the Albanians to run the
C?rrik relay reliably, so why should they trust the Cubans? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9935, Sept 1 at 0103, VOG with usual whine atop music, // 9420
without whine. These had been missing for a couple of nights; weekend
variation? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** HAWAII. 6501-USB, Aug 31 at 1232, Pacific marine weather info with
coordinates, very distorted audio. No ham would allow his SSB to sound like
this, but the USCG would: EiBi shows 6501 shared by AK, GU, HI, and VA
stations; at this hour, 1200-1235, NMO, Honolulu, site nm which means Maili
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA [and non]. 9526, Sept 1 at 1404, CRI Russian on 9525 has het from
the hi side, only evidence that VOI is active. It`ll be a rare day if VOI is
ever modulating and signalling strong enough before 1400 to hear it in English
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 870, Aug 31 at 1205 UT, non-Spanish language mentions Guachochi,
pronounces call XETAR as in Spanish, Secretar?a de Salud PSA in Spanish. So
this indigenous Chihuahuan is again audible around sunrise here, but soon fades
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 970, Aug 31 at 1207 UT, ranchera music, roughly SW/NE; splatter from
local 960 KGWA worse than usual. XEJ Ju?rez was ranchera, but long gone. Could
be any one of another Chihuahuan, Sonoran or Sinaloan. 1213 announcement but
fading out (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. It`s September but still some Es openings, UT Sept 1:
1630 on 2, fade in some video; 1643 stronger to see it`s Info7 per lower-right
bug, i.e. XHTAU Tampico
1643 on 2, then it`s PLAN B, and with some same-offset CCI. At first not clear
it this is still XHTAU or something else like XHY M?rida. But PLAN B is a
Mon-Sat 11 am-noon CT show from Azteca Noreste:
http://aztecanoreste.mx/secciones/detalle/2
I.e. originating in Monterrey but on ch 2 from Tampico, so apparently the Info7
bug comes and goes, especially during PLAN B segments.
1701 on 2, Info 7 again, zero CCI; occasional further video until 1730 or so
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6950.0-USB, Sept 1 at 0007, pirate music poor at S7; gone at
0039 recheck. Several logs here, also with some SSTV shots, say it was
Amphetamine Radio until 0013*:
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,23218.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OMAN. 9740, Sept 1 at 0103, Qur`an, ~S6, no doubt RSO extending the 22-24
frequency instead of QSY to 9500 after 0000. No sign of 9745-CUSB Bahrain,
which is supposedly 24 hours, but never heard here. Is it active? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Sept 1 at 0100, no signal from R. Chaski, so off early or not on
at all this date? Bolivians on 49m are audible. There is some remnant Cuban
pulse jamming, however, on 5980 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 15490, Sept 1 at 1809, open carrier/dead air from REE, supposed to
start at 1800; NO signals on 17855, 17715 or 15450, off and/or not propagating
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K. 3950-3955-3960, Sept 1 at 0504, DRM noise, i.e. BBC Woofferton English
during this hour only. Haven`t heard any AM broadcasts on 75m from Europe since
early spring (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 8820, Aug 31 at 2355 I am sitting on this with NRD-545 BFO offset, to
detect if and when a carrier come up here, 1300 kHz above 7520 WWCR which is
about to turn on, with the PL-880 USB tuned to 7519. Yes! Both appear at
exactly the same time, *2358:47 UT, so this SW + MW mixing product is
confirmed.
I immediately retune to the SW minus MW mix on 6220, which is much stronger and
hear the usual WWCR steel drum IS mixing with Spanish. 6220, UT Sept 1 at 0000,
WMDB, Nashville TN via WNQM via WWCR, ranchera music continues while briefly
hear CCI from USB Spanish mariner who again loses his legit 2-way frequency.
By 0015, 6220 rates S7, while 8820 is about S4, generally below the noise
level; at 0038 I can hear a trace of Spanish music on 8820. At 0043 I am back
on 6220 to detect whether there`s a power cut at 0045. Meanwhile, I measure it
more like 6219.97; at 0044 it does seem weaker vs the noise level, about S5 tho
no abrupt cut was obvious; by 0058 it`s a JBA carrier. 8820 at 0046 is also a
JBA carrier; it was so weak in the first place that hard tp tell if it`s
diminished now, but perhaps.
7520 itself, Sept 1 at 0052, rates 70 over S9! But it`s dead air! Finally at
0057, WWCR ID and promos as modulation resumes.
WWCR transmitter schedules expired August 31:
http://www.wwcr.com/transmitter-sched.html
So it remains to be seen or heard whether 7520 will continue at 00-02 UT
Tue-Sat only, and with it 1300 kHz above and below, mix with WNQM and its relay
of WMDB. As I pointed out before, the official Sept sunset time for WNQM to
reduce from 50 to 5 kW and go direxional is now 0000 UT, so the ``full power``
6220 spur would nominally exist only from 2358:47 to 2400. That`s why I am
especially satisfied to get the 8820 one confirmed at what may have been the
last chance (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9330.05-USB, Sept 1 at 0011, screaming gospel huxter, or rather a few
words in more or less normal tones, then Tourette`s syndrome erupting into an
incomprehensible scream several times per minute. This daily 00-01 UT broadcast
of the `Full Gospel Hour` is now WBCQ`s sole customer on 9330 (tho we also
heard an unsked repeat of AWWW). He`s also on the WWCR schedule: Sun 23-24 on
9350, Terry Blalock. Searching on that name only gets hits for seemingly normal
otherpeople. Except here`s a clip courtesy of Bulgaria:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2QOTCncirI
Recheck at 0100, now it`s up to 9330.15-CUSB, playing WBCQ IS & ID, then
generic sign-off by Allan Weiner to 0101* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 12104.94, Sept 1 at 0014, WTWW-3 with open-carrier/dead air,
depriving their Russian listener in the middle of the night. Still dead at
0044, 0104 chex by when should have been back into SFAW English. Wake up, Ted!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 880-CUSB, Sept 1 at 0559, weather for Navajo Nation, KHAC ID, Tse
(pronounced Say) Bonito, NM, and ``good night`` as if closing down, but
continues with hymn (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1560, Aug 31 at 0602 UT, partial ID ``PN 101.5`` amid heavy QRM,
then ESPN`s Sports-Center; on the FRG-7 with longwire, so no DFing; I was
rechecking for the YSR unID, but none of it now. 2015 NRC AM Log for 1560 shows
no FM // 101.5 for an ESPN station or anything else. So I reverse search, the
WTFDA FM Database on 101.5 for an ESPN, and get one hit:
WTHX 101.5 VINE GROVE KY 6.0 99.0 ESPN RADIO 101.5 SPORTS --- That`s SSW of
Louisville. So is there a 1560 near there? Three in KY, the closest one being
WKDO in Liberty, 1 kW daytimer, but supposed to be rock/oldies. Radio-Locator
agrees. That`s in south-central KY, 107 km or 66 miles from Vine Grove, not too
likely a share. Also WKDO has its own FM (not a translator) on 98.7. And WTHX
has no known connexion with any 1560 station:
http://espnky.com/wthx/
So maybe this was a totally false lead, meaning that some other 1560 ESPN now
has an FM // on 101.5. How about the ESPN website? Affiliate list
http://sports.espn.go.com/espnradio/story?id=6197767
claims to be ``Updated: February 28, 2013, 12:16 PM ET``! And it`s not a list
but a Google map, unfriendly to search. KZQQ 1560 Abilene TX has been ESPN in
the past but is apparently Fox Sports currently. I give up for now. Any other
ideas? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 2660-AM, Aug 31 at 0522, JBA music, probably 2 x 1330, KGLD Tyler
TX; slightly on the hi side compared to 1660 KWOD. BTW, I previously referred
to KGLD being on 1300 instead of correct 1330; i.e., nothing to do with
another, unID harmonic on 2600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
