Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
** ALASKA. 7355, Oct 1 at 1250, poor but audible signal from KNLS, Anchor
Point, English sermon about an Upper Room (a Protestant thing and devotional
booklet too); 1253 mentions www.knls.org, 1254 intro Justin Bieber song! But
just in a promo talking over him, plus other music on The New Life Station.
Nothing audible on 11870, alleged other transmitter frequency; and 7355 is
audible only occasionally.
BTW, the Aurora Communications SW station in nearby Ninilchik is in the news
for EPA violations, still not really on the air since the project started in
2002y. More about this on WORLD OF RADIO 1793, next DX Listening Digest, and
already in the DXLD yahoogroup (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BANGLADESH. 15505, Oct 1 at 1400:22.5, 5+1 mis-timesignal ends from
Bangladesh Betar, JBA carrier for Urdu service. If anything cuts thru, it`s the
mis-time pips, a public disservice. Yesterday it was 1400:09, but there is no
predictable variation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 6200, Oct 1 at 1246, Chinese songs, V. of Jinling, fair and no CCI
here from PBS Xizang, Tibet, which Ron Howard reports has now reactivated
co-channel messing up Jinling for him (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 9440, Oct 1 at 1301, CRI opening Esperanto, fair with flutter; same
theme music as on 9550 with Vietnamese. 9440 is 100 kW, 200 degrees from
Nanning 954 site; and listed // 11650 via Beijing unchecked. Why are only the
Commies (Cuba too) interested in propagating this erstwhile artificial
language? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6000, Oct 1 at 0617, RHC English time check for :21 past the hour ---
I don`t think so. ``Ed Newman``, when recording the now stale English hour the
previous afternoon, no doubt really sound asleep at this hour, was relying on
playouts to be accurately synchronized with Real Time. In this case, must have
started 4 minutes early (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 9542 & 9558 approx., Oct 1 at 1258, parasitic spurs from the
9550 RHC fundamental, are each making same hets with legit 9540 and 9560
stations, and all three RHC signals vanish at 1259:45*, clearing 9550 for CRI
open carrier, 1300 opening Vietnamese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 4750-, Oct 1 at 1240, RRI Makassar, fair signal with music, some
modulation breaks, on FRG-7 at S9+18, as good as it has been so far; no LAH
audible until 1255 recheck now with two offset carriers (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 11730, Oct 1 at 1307, VIRI in presumed Pashto as scheduled due east
from Sirjan; good signal but undermodulated with electronic music liners, until
chopoff at 1320:45* during music: unlike one biday ago when kept going,
misopening Chinese from 1322. This time, I check scheduled 13660 for Japanese
from 1322, but it`s too weak, just IS, unID language opening, 1323 NA. By 1405
recheck, however, it`s a bit better, recognizably correct Japanese (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 774, Oct 1 at 1229, JBA carrier from NHK Akita; and 828 at 1230 even
weaker one, from NHK Osaka; no others audible on the lo end. Today`s Enid
sunrise: 1227 UT; in one week will be 1232 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 6020, Oct 1 at 1338, Shiokaze sounders are recognizable,
and the usual deferential Japanese-style YL voice, but not enough to be
positive she`s in English as normal on Thursdays. Nothing on 5985, so
Sea-breeze must have just made another QSY for the 1330-1430 broadcasts from
JAPAN. Aoki already agrees on this, but yet to discover whether the 1600-1700
repeat has moved from 5985 too. Anyhow, glad that the 1330 transmission is
re-beginning to propagate to here, now starting only one hour after sunrise
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 9690-, Oct 1 at 0605 tune-in to Voice of Nigeria, surprised to hear
them in English! Some official is speaking about Boko Haram; hard to follow
accent, and lo-fi audio, also interrupted a few times by humbuzz such as 0608,
0610, 0610 again. I switch to // 7255- which is somewhat weaker but
aproblematic. He addresses ``Fellow Nigerians``, and at 0611.5 ``God bless you
all`` (does that include Allah?) and creaky military band, presumably national
anthem. 0612 undermodulated but clearer announcer outro that this was a special
Independence Day address by President Muhammadu Buhari; 0613 ``returning to
normal broadcasts. Thank you for listening, happy Independence Day``, and into
percussion as switching to Hausa which normally starts at 0600 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Greg Hardison replies to my log:
``Re KVOH schedule: "...*also Mutual Radio News at 01, 02 and 03..."
Huh???? Yes, it appears Mutual Radio has sorta' been dug up from the dead, and
propped up on the front porch:
http://mutualradionews.com/
Among other things, this website links to a rather entertaining "affiliates
list" -- which itself includes some questionably-existent outlets, along with
apparent LPFM and Part 15 stations. This one probably is eligible for the
Network Most Likely To Disappear medallion.
Ah! -- Then we find this on Mutual's FAQ page: "A: The Mutual Radio News
service is not affiliated with the defunct Mutual Broadcasting System or Mutual
Radio Networks. Mutual Radio News is a trademark of MutualRadioNews.com" So
this is more of a reincarnation, than anything else. -- GREG HARDISON``
``On over 75 radio stations nationwide!`` not listing KVOH. And it`s ``free``
for a month trial. Terms:
http://mutualradionews.com/free-news-service-radio-stations/
I don`t find any physical address. Who is really behind it, and where does
their news really come from? (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. RF 18, Oct 1 at 1458 UT, DTV 5-1 KFSM-DT from Fort Smith AR briefly
decodes, the only DX signal to do so among several other Bad ones in my morning
bandscan for area tropo. It stops before I can look for 5-2 or more. Hepburn`s
1500 UT forecast map shows some enhancement only east of Tulsa (Glenn Hauser,
Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11250-SSB, Oct 1 at 1303, 2-way lively conversation with musical
elements, apparently the Indonesian QSO pirates, not staid aeronautical
contacts. So I look for more in their usual band above 11.4 MHz:
11405-SSB, Oct 1 at 1306, pileups of lots of pirate QSOs, quick back-and-forth,
talkovers
11455-SSB, Oct 1 at 1311, more pirate QSOs, including a singer (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
This report dispatched at 1643 UT October 1

Radio cat?lica inicia transmisi?n en espa?ol en Los ?ngeles
Ver m?s
en:?http://www.20minutos.com/noticia/b94044/radio-catolica-inicia-transmision-en-espanol-en-los-angeles/#xtor=AD-1&xts=513357
Una radiodifusora comenz? a transmitir programaci?n cat?lica en espa?ol en el
?rea de Los ?ngeles el jueves, luego de que oyentes y simpatizantes donaran m?s
de dos millones de d?lares para la compra de la estaci?n. El Sembrador, KTYM
1460 AM, comenz? a transmitir alrededor de la una de la tarde, luego de que el
arzobispo de Los ?ngeles, Jos? H. G?mez, bendijera el medio y encendiera el
interruptor de la se?al. El Sembrador Ministries, Inc. compr? la radiodifusora
hace unas dos semanas a Trans America Broadcasting Corporation, de acuerdo con
Rosie Aguilar, directora de operaciones. Inmigrantes hispanos, otros oyentes y
simpatizantes donaron este a?o casi la mitad de los 5,9 millones de d?lares que
cost?, agreg?. "Es un d?a para mi hist?rico porque no es f?cil ver que un grupo
de hispanos con fe y con esperanza se junta no solo en oraci?n sino con su
generosidad para poder dar el primer paso de un (pago inicial) de m?s de dos
millones de d?lares", dijo el fundador de la compa?
?a, Noel D?az. "Para m? eso habla muy fuerte de que los hispanos, los
inmigrantes tienen fe y esperanza, y esa fe y esa esperanza es lo que los
mantiene unidos y comprometidos". Aunque la empresa no mide los ratings de las
radios, el empresario mexicano dijo que espera llegar a unos 15 millones de
personas a trav?s de las siete radios y canal de cable de la compa??a. Las
emisiones de las radiodifusoras se transmiten en California, Arizona, Illinois
y M?xico, mientras que los canales salen al aire en M?xico, Sur y
Centroam?rica. Transmitir en esta zona ampliar? el alcance de la radio ya que
Los ?ngeles es la arquidi?cesis m?s grande del pa?s. Est? formada por los
condados de Los ?ngeles, Ventura y Santa B?rbara y cuenta con alrededor de
cinco millones de feligreses, de los cuales el 70% es de origen hispano. La
estaci?n no es la primera en transmitir programas con contenido cat?lico 24
horas al d?a y exclusivamente en espa?ol pero dice que es la primera en
pertenecer a un his
pano cat?lico. "Esta nueva estaci?n de radio nos ofrece una nueva oportunidad,
junto con la visita del papa Francisco, para que todos nosotros sintamos el
entusiasmo de ser como Jun?pero Serra, como San Juan Diego que recibi? el
mensaje de Nuestra Se?ora de Guadalupe, y lo trajeron a todo el continente",
dijo el arzobispo.

** AUSTRALIA. 17840, R. Australia is no longer audible in the nightmiddle circa
05-06 UT chex, as it was all our summer, but it is audible at only S2 yet
readable, Oct 2 at 0148, while // 15240 is JBA. What will they be doing for
B-15? About the same but with alternates possible:
21-09, 17840 or 13630 at 70 degrees USward; also 15240, 15415
09-21, 9580 at 70 degrees; also 6080 or 6150/12085, 12065
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 2749-USB, Oct 2 at 0056, OM in English-accented French with m?t?o,
S6 signal. Per http://www.dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm starting at 0040 is VCO in
Sydney NS, but implied in English only. Two other stations in the 2749 group
are ``EE/FF``, but at later times: VAR-3 Yarmouth from 0140; and VCN Magdalen
from 0437. Maybe there have been some schedule changes since this listing was
last updated 2014-01-30. These and many other marine weather 2 MHz band
stations are also listed in EiBi by frequency,
http://eibispace.de/dx/freq-a15.txt (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See
also NEWFOUNDLAND
** COLOMBIA. 5910.02, Oct 2 at 0144, Alcarav?n Radio is reactivated after
missing about 5 months, and its sibling 6010.1 La Voz de tu Conciencia already
reactivated a few weeks ago and remains reliable including now. First date
back, as definitely absent from 5910 thru last night. S9 signal, EZL music,
0147 break for arpeggio and brief Spanish announcement about El Se?or, more
music. Overridden a couple times by ``running water`` ute, but no broadcast QRM
at this hour. That will be at 03-05 from Japan via France; and 0543-0600 M-F
from TWR via Austria (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT [and non]. 9315, Oct 2 at 0206, no signal from R. Cairo English, and
9965, no signal from R. Cairo Arabic, either. Yet Greek music is good at S9+5
on 9420 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 720, Oct 2 at 0153, traffic report, mentions Zaragoza, a suburb of
Ciudad Ju?rez, plugging 6 am show here on ``Extremo 7-20``, federal PSAs for
CNDH = Derechos Humanos, on its 25th anniversary, and 0155 for the Senado, i.e.
XEJCC, Ju?rez, Chihuahua. Getting this without having to avoid WGN at all
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEWFOUNDLAND. 2598-USB, Oct 2 at 0054, YL in English with marine weather
including ``visibility less than one mile`` [sic], ``strong wind warning in
effect``. Also mentions Grand Banks, Newfoundland, and Newfoundland Daylight
Time [UT minus only 2.5 hours]. Per dxinfocentre.com at this hour the station
in the N/L group is VCP-4 in Placentia, starting at 0048. Placentia is in the
southeast, on the western side of the Avalon Peninsula. About S8 signal.
2598-USB, Oct 2 at 0107 recheck, another marine weather in English just
starting mentioning ``Radio`` and ``Newfoundland``, i.e. VCM in St. Anthony`s
on the northern tip (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also CANADA
** NORTH AMERICA. 6949.7, Oct 2 at 0204, JBA music on AM at S5. Three logs here
say Captain Morgan Shortwave was on 6950-AM at 0145-0210*:
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,23703.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6960-USB, S9+5 pirate music cuts to spoken comment about
going online to express opinions, cut off and back to music; next check 0058
another spoken rant fragment, then hard rock; 0102 distorted hard rock, canned
ID ``B-I-D Radio, Burn It Down``, and ``Thanks for listening, discovering the
world, one frequency at a time, good night`` and off just before 0103*. Many
other logs here, all from further east, as far as the UK:
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,23698.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1230, Oct 1 at 1938 UT, oldies WBBZ Ponca City is so strong on
daytime groundwave that I never hear any CCI, but on the NRD-545 listening
carefully and watching the S-meter, I switch between the N-S LW and the E-W
ALA-330S, finding a difference: the S9 signal is fluxuating slightly by about 1
S-unit on the LW, causing me to wonder at first if it`s a clue to other than
normal amplitude modulation from that station; but on the Wellbrook, it`s
steady, just like many other signals, e.g. KFAQ 1170 Tulsa. So I suspect I`m
getting a SAH from remnant of another 1230 station, the most likely being KADA
Ada OK, now stupid sports talk, which I think I`ve never IDed from here. Other
close 1230s are in Pampa TX, Ft Smith AR, Joplin MO (and none in Kansas!)
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Oct 2 at 0049, JBA carrier from R. Chaski until autocutoff at
0106:12*, which is 13.5 seconds later than last check Sept 30 until 0105:58.5*,
i.e. averaging 6.75 seconds later per 24 hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 1521.0, Oct 2 at 0110, 1.0 kHz het upon KOKC OKC, i.e. the TA
pilot 2-megawatt BSKSA Duba. This led me to survey the entire MW band and find
a bunch of others; see UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1793 monitoring: confirmed Thursday Oct 1 after 2100
on WRMI 7570, sufficient. Also confirmed UT Friday Oct 2 from 0100 on WBCQ,
9329.97-CUSB at S9+25. Blalock ran a bit late, but squeezed in his phone
number, causing only a partial WBCQ ID before WOR started automatically on
time. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12105, Oct 1 at 2018, no signal from WTWW-3; 9475 WTWW-1 is blasting
in as usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15607.79 & 15612.21, Oct 1 at 2021, the parasitic spurs out of 15610
WEWN are approx. here. What we hear when the fundamental is strong enough
(often not, here, but it is now at mid-afternoon), is the slightly varying
~2.21-kHz squealing pitch of these beating against the main carrier --- a
defect which the WEWN English transmitter has been suffering for years without
any sign of concern. There may be more of these at further removes when the
signal is even stronger. I used to find them around 9 and 18 kHz away (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGSEST)
** U S A. 7504.67, Oct 2 at 0059, WRNO Fort Worth/New Orleans is already on, VG
signal, measured at 0138 as prime gospel huxter is still continuing. Are they
again throwing in brief newscasts cribbed from Deutsche Welle? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 6220, Oct 2 at 0104, Mexican music reads S9, but barely readable,
enough to hear just before 0105, ``880 AM, La Ranchera, con mil[?] watts``,
i.e. WMDB Nashville TN, really 2500/2 watts, relayed by WNQM 1300 Nashville,
50000/5000 watts, mixing with 7520, 100000 watt WWCR-4 aimed 90 degrees on
rhombic. Then I check the match, 1300 kHz above 7520, and can also barely hear
music at S3 on 8820. The October sked for 7520 remains UT Tue-Sat 0000-0200,
i.e. the only times the 6220 and 8820 mixing products can exist. Still alert
for others like them displaced from other WWCR frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 880, Oct 1 at 1933 UT, I recheck the KRVN/KJOZ situation at the same
daytime hour as first log two days ago. I`m not at the quiet caradio spot, but
go directly to the NRD545, and switch between the ALA-330S antenna oriented
east-west and the not-very-longwire oriented north-south. The two signals are
there again, so it wasn`t a propagational fluke. On the N/S, both are audible,
but too much KRVN Lexington NE to copy much from KJOZ Conroe TX.
On the E/W, however, both are weakened yet more equal in strength so as to
produce a very perceptible subaudible heterodyne (SAH), amounting to 244/minute
or just over 4.0 Hz. This is close to my interim observation yesterday morning
which I thought might be something else. Under KRVN programming is talk mostly
by female, which corresponds to the listed KJOZ programming at 17-19 UT. Too
bad I don`t have a unidirexional antenna to minimize KRVN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1500, Oct 2 at 0114 UT as I am hearing various unID [q.v.] stations
other than KSTP, it`s Greek music and then Greek talk! This has to be the
ethnic-Greek station in New Port Richey FL, address in Oldsmar, WPSO, which is
upposed to be a ND 250-watt daytimer. Tnx for cheating, long after official FCC
October sunset of 2300 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1530, Oct 2 at 0130 UT, soft YL songs in Spanish, and ID by YL as
``Radio Mujer, muchas gracias por sintonizarnos, -algo- 5 punto 1``, and
another song. That`s KZNX Creedmore (Austin) TX, which I was also getting on my
New Mexico trip from Santa Rosa as in DXLD 15-37 (and now I see I typoed the
call there, twice, as KZNZ! Never heard it spoken in any language); and the FM
was researched as 95.1. Supposed to be 220 watts night rather than 10 kW day, 1
kW critical hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1500, Oct 2 at 0111 UT, hardly any signal from KSTP even when
aimed right at it (yet, Saudi Arabia is in on 1521, but from a lower angle), so
what else do I get on 1500? Classic rock roughly E/W; at 0125 UT it`s blues and
KSTP starts to fade up a bit at 0128 UT. At 0200 UT I am hearing Cajun/Zydeco
music, 0203 English ID amid CCI maybe mentions Louisiana or is it just the
power of suggestion?
Almost every state in the ``South`` and ``Midwest`` has a 1500 station, most of
them low-power daytimers, or with negligible power at night. Several listed as
OLDies format, and the one in LA, KCLF New Roads is AC/UC in NRC AM Log 2015.
KJIM Sherman TX should be off by now and none of these seem from the south.
Meanwhile, I get one 1500 definitely: WPSO New Port Richey FL! see U S A (Glenn

UNIDENTIFIED. After 1521 SAUDI ARABIA QRMing KOKC OKC, and hearing a 3-kHz het
from 1503 (200 kW IRAN? or something closer but much weaker) when I am DXing
wideband domestic on 1500, I step thru the entire MW band from top to bottom,
aiming NE/SW with the DX-398 at 9-kHz intervals, and with its BFO as usual
slightly offset, making JBA hets of the same pitch whenever there is a carrier,
as I switch between USB and LSB to avoid the 10-kHz stations (but also
obscuring any in -9 or -1), I do find these, Oct 2 between 0112 and 0122: 1422,
1413, 1296, 1215 (two?), 882. Trans-Atlantic MW DX has been up lately, reported
even from Alberta and BC, where it`s more like trans-polar (Glenn Hauser, OK,

UNIDENTIFIED. 1710, Oct 2 at 0108 UT, JBA carrier, I would like to think is the
35 to 50 watt relay of CHIM-FM in Timmins, Ont., as uncovered a few nights ago
by Tim Tromp in west Michigan. Does it remain active with such high power?
