** ALASKA. 9615, Nov 30 at 1412, KNLS with story of Wiley Post and Will Rogers`
final flight, outro as `Postcard from Alaska, America`s Last Frontier`, poor
signal but sufficient (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. 6230-USB, Nov 30 at 1346, very poor signal with marine weather,
Wiluna mentioned a few times, which is the location of VMW in Western
Australia. Lucked out with no CNR1 jamming against Sound of Hope blocking the
frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9565.06 approx., Nov 30 at 0705, very poor S3 song audible, rather
than overtime Cuban jamming for a change, i.e. SRDA Curitiba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9664.97 approx., Nov 30 at 0700, S9 signal much better than usual,
ID with an address in Curitiba, not for Voz Mission?ria, Cambori?, national
anthem, which we rarely hear on Brazilians --- this being 4 am local, 0702
rooster SFX, and opening `Alvorada Sertaneja`, program title repeated 10 or 12
times by different voices, into music. Title means ``Dawn in the Hinterland``
as Google would have it. Are they relaying SRDA? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 9745.07 approx., Nov 30 at 0659, R. Cairo VG signal with suptorted
presumably Arabic modulation until off at 0659:53*. Scheduled 0200-0700, so
pretty good precision there; too bad they can`t apply that to modulating (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 9585, Nov 30 at 1414, suptorted Japanese, i.e. VIRI Sirjan, 1320-1420
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 9400, Nov 30 at 1425-1500, fair but clear signal from Denge
Kurdistane during Kurdish music concert. Ivo Ivanov indicates the France
transmitter site is no longer in use, but now:
04-08 & 12-15 PRIDNESTROVYE; 08-12 Armenia, 15-17 Bulgaria; so not on after
1700 at all? (Glenn Hauser, OK DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Our AC power has remained on except for a split-second glitch,
enough to stop the clox and restart the computer, at 2038 UT Nov 29. Governess
Fallin has declared all 77 counties disaster areas, eligiblizing us for some of
that dirty Federal money.
Ice crashes upon our roof continued sporadically until Monday noon. Trees do
not overhang the roof so must have been coming off TV antennas, some of them
abandoned but still up. By 1700 UT Nov 30, ice on the trees and lines has all
melted, as temps have been higher above freezing overnight than originally
expected.
Further updates on anomalies caused by the ice storm, as of afternoon Sunday
Nov 29, all times UT:
At 2007, RF 23 is OFF! That`s KSBI-TV ``52``, now the full-power substation of
KWTV 39 ``9``. Must be too much icing on the antenna. Suddenlink cable 16 in
Enid displays a freeze-frame for hours & hours. (if Suddenlink is getting this
like other OKC stations by fibre optic feed, rather than off the UHF air, why
should it matter if RF 23 is off??) It missed most of prime time, but back on
by 0345 UT Nov 30.
90.1, KUCO Edmond/OKC is again audible by 2100 UT Nov 29, seems up to full
power already, or almost.
November 30 chex:
At 1723 UT, KXLS 95.7 is still off as are 88.3 Enid FR translator, and KLGB-LP
94.3.
At 1724, KQOB 96.9 is on air but dead air, RDS as
CLASSIC / ROCK / 96.9 / KQOB. Same at 1833 recheck.
At 1833 FM bandscan, on PL-880, find a number of OKC stations which were on
thru the worst of the ice storm are now off (or weakened):
88.3, K202BY, Enid still off
90.5, KGVV, Goltry still off
92.1, KAMG-LP, Enid now on but dead air (always mono)
92.5, KOMA, OKC is OFF!
94.3, KLGB-LP, Enid still off
94.7, KBRU, OKC, weak
95.7, KXLS, Lahoma-Enid, still off
96.9, KQOB, Enid-Crescent-OKC, on but dead air as above with RDS
97.5, KPAK, Alva, still off
98.1, WWLS, The Village (OKC) now OFF
98.9, KYIS, OKC, now OFF
99.7, KNAH, Mustang-OKC, back ON with C&W
100.5, KATT, OKC, now OFF
101.9, KTST, OKC, on but weak
102.7, KJYO, OKC, on but weak
105.7, KRDR, Alva, still off (but can`t hear KROU; could be off too?)
107.1, KNID, North Enid, now OFF
AM check at 1842 UT Nov 30:
530, K530AM, Vance AFB is back on with generic PSA rotations
1140, KRMP, OKC is off; all other AMs in The Metro are on
1640, KZLS, Enid-Hennessey-OKC, dead air with hum as usual
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. At 2010 UT Nov 29, in doing a complete TV bandscan on the Zenith
DTV STB for ice-storm anomalies, I encounter a near-local quality signal on RF
17, with slight fading on the signal meter. It might have been 1000 kW KDOR-TV,
TBN in Bartlesville, but there is no sign of tropo from anywhere including the
Tulsa area. (My rotor is still frozen so no DFing.)
All is black and there is no PSIP ID info, but there are 6 subchannels,
displaying as 17-1 thru 17-6. NO SIGNAL comes on after a bit, tho there
certainly IS SIGNAL! Continues the same thru Monday morning. Nov 30 at 1545
check. Signal is now very strong and steady. Audio has a slight noise level if
volume turned up rather than total digital silence.
This has got to be the digital translator long licensed to Enid per FCC info,
K17JN-D. It belongs to Clarion Broadcasting Group, which also has one other
station in OK, KCYH-LD, channel 41 in Ardmore. Clarion bought a whole bunch of
these all over the country a few years ago from another company. K17JN-D
original site was between Goltry and Hillsdale NW of Enid, 0.5 kW with a
direxional pattern aiming at Enid.
Correspondence file includes ``resumption of operations`` as of Feb 9, 2015,
after having shut April 11, 2014. But it has NOT been on the air, and never
seen before, altho it may have fired up briefly to make it official. Certainly
misleading, and as far as I am concerned, a lie on the FCC form threatening
prosecution for doing that.
K17JN-D also has a CP for 15 kW from a different site just west of Enid,
slightly NE of the intersexion of US 412 and State Hwy 132. This pattern is
almost circular, and easily covers Enid and beyond. Surely this what I am
seeing now. It might have been on for a day or two before I noticed it, but
starting up during an ice storm when other stations are knocked off is
certainly contrarian! If this keep up, I can say goodbye to any DX on 17, and
won`t be able to see TBN from Bartlesville, Boo Hoo.
It will be interesting to find out what programming Clarion is going to put on
its six channels --- how about home shopping? TBN? W9WI.com has no info on
what`s on their Ardmore outlet. Altho K17JN-D will never be seen by anyone
other than a DXer in OKC, rabbitears.info files it like other invisible Enid
low-powers under the OKC market, still as Off The Air, with no further info on
content. The pattern here is direxional northeast:
http://rabbitears.info/pattern.php?request=ant_pat&ant_id=16354&rotation=45&erp=15
altho the FCC Bing map shows it almost non-direxional
http://www.bing.com/maps/?mapurl=http://transition.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/contourplot.kml?gmap=2%26appid=1630662%26call=K17JN-D%26freq=0.0%26contour=51%26city=ENID%26state=OK.kml
However, rabbitears does have KCYH with 8 subchannels, 5 videos from 3ABN
(Adventist) and three ``radio`` channels.
http://rabbitears.info/market.php?request=station_search&callsign=kcyh#station
So that`s what we have to look forward to (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1801 monitoring: confirmed starting a bit late UT
Monday Nov 30 0406 on Area 51 webcast and WBCQ 5109.7-CUSB; also confirmed at
0430 UT Monday Nov 30 on WRMI 9955. Next:
Tue 1200 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 1415.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 2200 WBCQ 7490v to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9474.98 approx., Nov 30 at 0708, WTWW-1 is still on day frequency!
managing to propagate to S6 level, missing from 5830. Not on 5085, and not
audible on 12105. Just another SNAFU. 9475 still on at 1357 check, now with VG
signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. KVOH: re: ``Ted Randall dragging his feet month after month in
getting all the needed parts for it from WTWW to KVOH.``
John Tayloe of KVOH replies: ``Glenn, I see you continue to make up stories and
post them to your DX Listening Digest. What you have written in your November
29, 2015, post is simply NOT true and totally made up``
I don`t make things up! This was based on info from someone else at WTWW. But I
don`t know first-hand whether it is correct; if not, I apologize (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 3232.24-USB approx., Nov 30 at 0738, that informal net of
F-bombers again, 2 or 3 guys now discussing football; ``come back``, rather
than ``over`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ALBANIA. 7470, Dec 1 at 0223, R. Tirana IS is audible but very poor, S5,
confirming at least they are on after missing two nights ago (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BOLIVIA [and non]. 5952.45, Dec 1 at 0110, R. Pio Doce is S9+10, nice to
hear after being missing in last several evening monitoring sessions. Talk must
be in Quechua or Aymara, as only a few loan-words from Spanish are understood.
Still on at 0151, a little weaker at S9, but much stronger than something on
5950, presumably Iran in Tajik per HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BOLIVIA. 6134.82, Dec 1 at 0154, dramatic promo about radio from R. Santa
Cruz, S9 and no 6165.2 Brasil het, Aparecida off? Furthermore, the annoying
RTTY intruder circa 6131.5 is also gone, hope for good (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 4814.97, Dec 1 at 0143, preacher in Brazuguese, S8 but with CODAR
QRM; no doubt Rdif. Londrina. Several other 60m ZY carriers: 4845, 4925+, 5035,
but not 4885; see 4985 log too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 4985, Dec 1 at 0147, pop music at S8, // 11815 at S5, i.e. R. Brasil
Central, Goi?nia, Goi?s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9664.97 approx., Dec 1 at 0124 as I tune in Voz Mission?ria, an
English ID! ``A station of the Missionary System of Communications``, and a
city name I can`t copy, 0125 back into Portuguese for TC as ``23 e 25 minutos``
--- so they are on DST of UT -2, and the national anthem I heard at 07 UT would
be 5 am local, but still quite pre-dawn (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9722.62, Dec 1 at 0128, Portuguese talk at S7 as R?dio RB2 continues
to drift ever-downward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 9540, Dec 1 at 0123, strong stray pulse jamming, maybe spur from the
pileup on 9490, QRMing weaker 9535 RHC, tsk2, unless LSB employed to tune it
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9420, Nov 30 at 2200, VOG is strong enough to break squelch on the
BST-1 caradio memory scan, timesignal about 10 seconds late, full ID in Greek,
more nice music. By 0120 Dec 1 it`s still on but VP at S6 on the NRD-545 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4055.0, Dec 1 at 0140, R. Verdad, preacher in Spanish quoting
Apocalipsis XIV:11; S9+20 with no ACI. Dr Madrid tells me they are involved in
a project to set up relays of TGAV around the world on frequencies with a few
kHz of 4055. That will be interesting: In such an isolated part of the
spectrum, it could work without being squeezed by other broadcasters, but the
concern is interfering with itself (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA [and non]. 6145.02, Dec 1 at 0156, RRI ROMANIA is wrapping up English
hour to NAm, Goodbye, and IS, with QRM from S Asian music station under making
fast SAH. 0157* RRI off, uncovering this, runs past 0200 with no break. HFCC
shows it`s AIR Urdu service at 0000-0430, 250 kW, 282 degrees from Aligarh
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1140, Dec 1 at 0210, full ID from XEMR claiming 50 kW todo el d?a,
ending with ``Manantial`` as in spring, source of salvation. Dominant signal,
into hymn. It usually is atop, belying its alleged tangent-southwestward circle
at night in NRC Pattern Book, vs daytime non-direxional. Mexican conditions may
be above average, with bigsigs from 1570 XERF, 1050 XEG, 990 XET (but not 1220
XEB --- see USA: KZEE log) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Further updates to the ice storm outage reports, Nov 30:
In the check of OKC-area AM stations, I neglected to note that
1460, KZUE, El Reno, was still off
1220, KTLV, and 1400, KREF, are not normally audible here so can`t say about
them one way or the other
1640, KZLS, still on but dead air at 2212, and still at 0205 Dec 1
Nov 30 after 2050 UT:
92.5, KOMA is back ON
93.7, KSPI is on and seems full strength now
94.7, KBRU is on
95.7, KXLS is on but dead air
96.9, KQOB is on but still dead air
98.1, WWLS is back on, but not 98.9 KYIS
100.5, KATT is off at 2056, and still off at 2211
101.9, KTST is on but weak
102.7, KJYO is on but weak
103.1, KOFM Enid, on but dead air
107.1, KNID North Enid, on but dead air
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Dec 1 at 0109, two JBA carriers, until the stronger one, R.
Chaski, autocutsoff at 0112:35.5*, leaving BBC/UAE, 11.5 seconds later than 48
hours ago, or 5.75 later average (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3299.0-USB, UT Tue Dec 1 at 0138, AF MARS net, at first VG signal
from AFA4PM calling SEM1 (net designator, all fonetikally), asking if there are
any relays; reply from AFA4NC, a YL voice, ``concluding initial roll call at
0138z``. Next station heard: AFA4IX. This sounds familiar: Google search on
AFA4PM MARS leads back to previous logs of mine such as in DXLDs 14-09 and
15-42 recently, with AFA4PM in Tennessee, and last January on 3299.5-USB
instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7489.84, Dec 1 at 0000, I`m tuned to WBCQ for the very last `Ramsey`s
Roadhouse` program; fair signal but not enough to overcome local TV QRM on the
R75. Preceded by a WBCQ content disclaimer presumably because of a sprinkling
of naughty or swear words. First song is ``Dock of the Bay`` by Otis Redding,
but show is more rambling by Ramsey than music. 0004 says it`s #284, final
edition from the Tippecanoe River in Indiana. Acknowledges a postcard of
Louisiana symbols from Matthew Oglethorpe in Shreveport (any relation to TV
DXer Danny Oglethorpe there?), and song played was at his request. Another PC
about the Wizard of Oz.
New show starting next week, Dec 7 (UT Dec 8) at same time will be called
`Furthermore 29-54`, derived from the 29:54 length of each program, allowing 6
seconds for an ID afterwards. Address is P O Box 717, Monticello, IN 47960
(another Monticello, to WBCQ`s in Maine).
Hopes to keep getting help from John Carver in producing transitional material
as has done for past six years. Acknowledges that his show was mentioned by gh
on WOR last week. He listens Wednesdays at 5 pm ET on 7490; really enjoys it.
Just started SWLing 8 years ago at age 62; finally, ``I think I understand
Glenn Hauser``. Says he got a `new` FRG-7 receiver on E-Bay, but it`s a POS on
MW, after trying several different antennas. (Well, mine is fine on MW: were
you aware that there is a separate antenna terminal for MW?).
0015 plays ``Paradise``, title? of bluegrass tune. Plugs WBCQ for getting your
own show on the radio, as he did with Audacity and a mike; something about drag
racing in Indiana; laments a couple of SWLs who passed away this year but I
couldn`t catch or recognize the names; and Ed Bolton of `Amos `n` Andy`; wrapup
and finished by 0030. On the R-75 I first tuned to 7489.875, then 7489.865
sounded best, and finally 7489.840, so maybe WBCQ was drifting downward
slightly. This in USB mode: I hardly ever listen in AM mode, as SSB is quieter
and smoothes out the fading (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7730, Dec 1 at 0108, WRMI has reactivated this WOOB channel and put
TruNews etc. on it, ex-7455 to get away from the RTTY QRM. Which has been there
from before WYFR became WRMI a biyear ago, as I often noted, and couldn`t
understand why they didn`t get off 7455 immediately.
Now 7730 is blasting in, S9+60, better than previous antenna for Latin America,
which was moved to 5985. 7730 at 01-07 is WRMI-13 at 285 degrees, adding 00-01
& 07-08 on Mondays only for other programming.
I see another change in the frequency grid: WORLD OF RADIO on 5850, Sundays at
0900, WRMI-12 at 315 degrees across N America (and on to East Asia?). We had
asked Jeff if he could get us back on 5850 to replace the Friday 2330 airing.
Also significant is rearranging the Radio France International relays in
English on 11580: now daily except UT Mondays at 0200-0300; and 11580 still
also during the 0100-0200 hour on Wed/Fri/Sat only. These are aimed 44 degrees
toward Europe, and unfortunately usually fade down/out here before 0200 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9975, Dec 1 at 0134, KVOH is S7 but just barely modulated with jazz;
meanwhile 10000 WWV is inbooming at S9+25! Something`s amiss. However, neighbor
Cairo 9964.6 is even weaker, JBA at S3, so they could do better via a KVOH
relay. By 0222, 9975 is JBM at S6, while 9955 WRMI has surged to S9+30! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1220, Dec 1 at 0208 UT, South Asian songs dominating, vs multiple
SAHs, but nothing from alleged 100 kW XEB detectable. This from south is
certainly The Metroplex`s KZEE Weatherford TX, 1600/200 watts (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1521.0, Dec 1 at 0206, JBA het audible against KOKC. I have
little doubt it`s 2-megawatt BSKSA, but should keep filing it as unID lest I
miss it in excerpting MW log reports (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7728-USB, Dec 1 at 0219, 2-way in Spanish, splatter from 7730
intruder WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9910.00-AM, Dec 1 at 0129, tone test. Before I can estimate its
pitch, but somewhere around 1 kHz, stops at 0130 and starts saying ``Alfa,
Delta, ----`` repeated slowly several times during following minute, with
pauses. Third word something like ``baze``? not another Greek letter. Hard to
be sure with so little to go on, but could have been with a German accent (or
for that matter, German to start with). 0131 dead air past 0133+ when I move
on; it`s S7 with flutter. Next check sometime after 0200, no more such signal.
Ideas? Nothing in HFCC, Aoki or EiBi to account for this; no regular
broadcasters scheduled. One hit searching 9910 on hfunderground:
Quoting ``Dr. Tims Pirate NEWS Nr. 46/2014 - SW 16. November 2014
(Sonntag/Sunday) 9910,0U Baltic Sea Pirate 15.28 45444 E popoldies``
