** ALASKA. 7355, Oct 14 at 1306, open carrier/dead air with flutter. Suspect it`s KNLS, which has English until 13 on 7355, and is supposed to resume 7355 at 1400 with Chinese; nothing else scheduled between (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 4885+, Oct 14 at 0552, a Brasilian is back here in the nightmiddle, with music, over CODAR. With BFO I can tell there is a second weaker carrier slightly offset. The main one is slightly on hi side compared to 9885 VOA on the FRG-7. 0555 full canned ID for R. Clube do Pará, mentioning MW and SW frequencies two or three times each (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** COLOMBIA. 5910, Oct 14 at 0547, ranchera song about Hermosillo, fair but deep fades, 0550 ID ``Alcaraván Radio, 1530 kHz AM, desde [Puerto Lleras?], Departamento del Meta, Colombia``. Quite stronger than the other HJDH on 6010.1 which also has adjacent QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [and non]. 11650, Oct 14 at 1402, typical Cuban pulse jamming vs some weak Asian signal. Must be a stray, as 14-15 on 11650 is HFCC-scheduled CRI in Nan via Kunming site. Aoki translates that language to Amoy, from Kunming-Anning site. They agree on 150 kW, 177 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDIA. 9620-, Oct 14 at 1312, south Asian singing, poor with flutter. 1315 and 1319 long pauses between songs, by 1339 very poor with talk. Presumed AIR Sindhi service scheduled 1230-1500 via Aligarh site, which stays on 9620 until 2030 in other languages. Slightly on lo side compared to 1620 and 620 signals on FRG-7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 640, Oct 14 at 1220, PSAs including one from Ciudad Juárez, and federal Cámara de Diputados y Diputadas --- seems now officially acknowledging that women participate, at least secondarily. Shorthand could be: ``Diputad@s``. 1221 ``B-M Noticias 640``, i.e. XEJUA Juárez, separable from OK, and atop anything from KFI, perhaps the SAH source (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 680, Oct 14 at 1222, mentions Festival Cultural de Sinaloa, ad mentioning Sinaloa Poniente (western, i.e. the sundown-side); 1223 UT TC for 6:24 and regresa, back to live `Noticiero de Sinaloa`, i.e. XEORO, Guasave, 1000/500 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 1030, Oct 14 at 1231, from WSW, promos for R. Fórmula, Grupo Fórmula, so must be XEYC Ciudad Juárez. IRCA shows power 1000/1000; Cantú and WRTH, 5000/500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Oct 14, I awaken at 1157, so hasten to this frequency almost buried in splash from Rebelde 5025 music. The JBA carrier does cut off at 1159:42* in keeping with SIBC normal practice (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TAJIKISTAN. 4790, Oct 14 at 1255 very poor carrier vs CODAR, 1259 BaBcoCk IS for a bit, 1259.5 announcement, 1300 5+1 timesignal, i.e. BBC Uzbek relay for half an hour, but it seems the carrier comes on way earlier. I imagine it`s quite a bigsig into neighboring Uzbekistan, but why don`t the ChiCom jam it? It`s only 307 km = 191 miles from Dushanbe to Tashkent, unless you`re driving: 423 km/263 statutes. No second carrier audible now, but less than a semihour after 1238 sunrise here, between 1300 and 1304, I get lots of JBAs on 60m, a few with bits of modulation, mostly matching Tibet/China/India frequencies, except for two on 4750: Indonesia/Bangladesh/China? --- 4760, 4800, 4810, 4820, 4835-Australia, 4870, 4880, 4895, 4910, 4920, 4940-China, 4970, 5040, 5050 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1794 monitoring: confirmed Wed Oct 14 from 1315.5 on WRMI 9955, sufficient but with lite pulse jamming: tnx a lot, Arnie! This airing always starts after 1315, preceded by the gh WRMI ID at 1300.0 --- which always precedes some but not all WOR broadcasts on WRMI, and at no other times. Next: Wed 2100 on WBCQ 7490 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5830, Oct 14 at 1404, WTWW-1 is still on here instead of day frequency 9475 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1020, Oct 14 at 1227 UT, 8:28 TC in Spanish, weather for New York City area, so what else could it be but KCKN Roswell NM where it`s two hours earlier, relaying WWRV 1330, Radiovisión Cristiana. Makes 3 Hz SAH with nearby victim KOKP Perry OK. Even with KOKP nulled I am hearing KCKN, not KMMQ, another 50 kW SS in Nebraska. KCKN obviously continues to run 50 kW ND rather than protecting KDKA, and incidentally KOKP (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. TP carrier search Oct 14 at 1207-1211: JBA on 702, 774 both looping west rather than NW so suspect Australia. Nothing else up to 1000 except for 945 and 954, the latter vs heavy splash from local 960 KGWA so can`t get a DF. Nothing out of Pacific or Asia stands out on these from listings. Today`s Enid sunrise: 1238 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 15985.5-USB, Oct 14 at 1346, 2-way in Spanish, including whistling (during futile scan for any ChiCom jammers) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1548 UT October 14 _ 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.
