? Ukraine plans to launch a new radio station for the military in 2016..
http://sputniknews.com/europe/20151218/1031980928/ukraine-army-radio.html
Alexei Makukhin, an advisor to?the Ukraine?s Defense Minister, said during?a
press briefing that a new Ukrainian radio station for?military personnel will
begin operating on?March 1, 2016."It?s no secret that our troops on?the
frontline often suffer from?an information vacuum," Makukhin said. "So we need
a radio station. Seventy percent of?its content will be music; there will also
be news broadcasts and programs for?the troops ? where soldiers can say hello
to?their friends and relatives, request songs and share stories live
on?air.There will also be programs featuring interviews with?experts and
military personnel."The new radio station will be reportedly funded by?Spirit
of?America, a non-profit company which assists US military personnel deployed
in?Iraq, Afghanistan and Africa.The station will be headquartered in?Kiev and
will broadcast its content on?the FM band.Earlier this month the Ukrainian
parliament approved the creation of?a new broadcasting company called Ukrain
e Tomorrow. According to?media reports, the new broadcaster will "provide
foreign audiences with?unbiased reports about?important events in?Ukraine" and
"provide information support for?Ukrainians abroad."

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
** BIAFRA [non]. 11600, Dec 17 at 2031 check, zero signal from R. Biafra via
BULGARIA: is it still on at 2000-2200 daily? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11780.1, Dec 17 at 2045, RNA is already on in Brazuguese, only about
S6 this early. Yesterday did not cut on until *2100 for `A Voz do Brasil`
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 7260, Dec 18 at 1253, very poor signal with singing, presumably PBS
Nei Menggu as listed; Asian conditions are horrible this morning 2-10 MHz, and
non-sequitur temp here is 22F (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 12040, Dec 18 at 1320, only S3 but clear, lovely IS from VIRI, belying
a country where they throw Americans in jail without cause, 1324 sign-on in
Japanese, 60 degrees from Kamalabad (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 900, Dec 18 at 1305, ``Siempre 88.9`` newscast about the ``apag?n
anal?gico``, i.e. DTV conversion, starting with a jingle about it, and
mentioning the cutoff as of Dec 31, which is really no longer to be enforced;
trying to find a DTV set at two publicized locations without success, out of
stock.
Anyhow, this is presumably XEOK in Monterrey NL, as in DXLD 13-38 we researched
that the national newscast originating at 88.9 in M?xico DF, an Acir group
station, would lead only to XEOK as an affiliate on 900 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 6224-USB, Dec 18 at 1247, VP signal, only S5 vs S4 noise level
with weather by OM voice, sounds DU accent but can`t tell whether Ozy or Kiwi;
mostly about wind direxions and knot speeds. EiBi shows it`s ZLM, Taupo
Maritime Radio, at 1233-1253. Many transmissions thruout the day, but not every
hour, start at 3 minutes past the hour and half-hour, and end 20 minutes later.
Taupo is in the middle of North Island, at the NE corner of lake of same name,
as far from a coast as you can get, but at a good skip distance, and not far
from RNZI`s Rangitaiki site, I think (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Quick check on caradio of the signals previously impaired by the
late-November ice-storm, Dec 17 at 2147 UT:
88.3, K202BY, Family Radio, Enid is still off
94.3, KLGB-LP, Enid is finally back to full power all over Enid, not just
audible within one block of site; gospel music seems harder-rock now than it
used to be, still sponsored by Enid Coldwell Banker Realty
98.1, WWLS-FM, The Village, finally back to full power, sports talk
99.7, KNAH, Mustang, is back on and/or full power, fighting over channel with
country music vs Kansas Spanish
100.5, KATT OKC; 101.9, KTST OKC; 102.7, KJYO OKC --- all sound like full power
now (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K. 3948-3962, Dec 18 at 0620, DRM noise at S9 level spans this range on
R75 1-kHz steps, and no ham dares to approach it, as if this part of 75m in
North America were off-limits. It`s BBC in English, 3955, 100 kW, 114 degrees
from Woofferton during 0559-0700 UT only per HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1804 monitoring: confirmed Thu Dec 17 at
2100, good on WRMI 7570; missed monitoring the next, UT Fri 0200 on WBCQ
9330v-CUSB; did anyone hear it? Next:
Fri 2130 WRMI 15770 to NE
Fri 2130.6 WRMI 7570 to NW
Sat 0730 HLR 7265-CUSB to SW
Sat 1530 HLR 7265-CUSB to SW
Sat 2030v WA0RCR 1860-AM ND? [how far from St Louis is it audible in daytime?
Harold Frodge was hearing it in Michigan last week]
Sun 0415v WA0RCR 1860-AM ND? [may have started earlier last week]
Sun 0900 WRMI 5850 to NW [NEW!]
Mon 0400v WBCQ 5110v-CUSB Area 51 to WSW [beware of JL Xmas special]
Mon 0430 WRMI 9955 to SSE
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. 5109.7-CUSB, Dec 18 around 0145, `Mennonite Radio` on WBCQ is only a
poor signal, winter propagation just not helpful. This is at 01-02 UT Fridays,
following from same source `Broad Spectrum Radio` at 00-01 for at least the
rest of December, i.e. Xmas- and NY-eves. I had to miss BSR as out to a band
concert here. Content of that not clear, but supposedly secular; a media
program? I hope James availablizes it too as a podcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9930, Dec 17 at 2040, surprised to find the day frequency of WTWW-2
on the air; haven`t heard it for ages, and it`s 55 over S9! Religious
discussion mixed with financial advice, thus totally untrustworthy. WTWW.us
website remains extremely vague about their true programming schedule. It`s a
bit stronger than their other blowtorch, WTWW-1 on 9475, and WTWW-3 is in third
place at only S9+25. Also, looking at the NRD-545 S-meter on 9930 I can see it
dip 5 or 10 dB during pauses, which implies the carrier is slightly reduced (or
is it an artifact of overloading the receiver?) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. Message sent to WRMI Dec 18: ``Terry & Jeff, 9955 had some problems
this morning, modulation cutting out for split seconds, 2 or 3 times per
second, and carrier also dropping but not going off completely. First noticed
1257 at end of Wavescan, and still so at 1318 in Prague. By 1441 in F&E it was
OK. Just letting you know in case this is intermittent and you did not
deliberately fix it in the meantime. May need to check it out during daytime
downtime. 73, Glenn``
Also noted on 9955: at 1329 Dec 18, outdated promo by Bruce Baskin for
fragmentary sports coverage ``this fall`` including World Series, to be heard
at ``9 am eastern``, really 1359 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 700, Dec 17 at 2031 UT, very poor signal from KHSE, music stops and I
strain to detect the language: at 2034 UT, YL mentioning phone numbers
definitely in Spanish. KHSE had been reported with a format change from
Spanish:Religion to ETHnic --- that can and does still include Spanish, but not
all the time?? Licensed to Wylie TX, and this daytime coverage map
http://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/patg?id=KHSE-AM&h=D
shows site ENE of Dallas, with one of three major lobes toward us, but fringe
contour not extending much beyond OKC. It`s 1500/920 watts. Apparently no
website to check for true program schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1380, Dec 18 at 0614 UT, national adstring, including iHeartRadio.com
promo, manages to squeeze by local 1390 KCRC, maybe peaking ENE/WSW. By 0641
UT, sports talk mixed with Star-Wars talk, not // ESPN. Most likely closest are
KXFN St Louis, but AFAIK that is not an iHeart, while KHEY El Paso TX is, and
is also with Fox Sports Radio, 5000/500 watts U1, so tentatively that (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1600, Dec 18 at 1315 UT, instead of KUSH OK, I am hearing unfamiliar
choral national anthem, from north/south, no doubt the Republic of Vietnam`s in
tribute from KRVA The Metroplex TX, followed by Vietnamese announcement and
program. Shouldn`t that be KRVN? Tsk2, that call is already taken on 880 in NE
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1650, Dec 18 at 1313 UT, ESPNDeportesradio.com promo, from WSW/ENE,
mentions ``paso a paso``, but this does not refer to El Paso TX, whence KSVE is
certainly the source of this. Still not hearing KFSW Sallisaw OK, which should
be the dominant signal at least after 1315 UT sunrise (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** YEMEN [non]. 11860, Dec 18 around 1330, R. Sana`a is fairly good, but not up
to peak strength until closer to 1400; at 1431 breaks from music for extended
sermon, maybe for the Fribbath, almost the Sabbath, must be back-timed to end
at 1436:18 when cut to Qur`anic Call to Prayer, at Yemen sundown, for three
minutes, back to counter-revolutionary music from 1439:15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Correxion to log below --- I was thinking of 7270, as previously
logged. On 7260, Aoki shows two possibilities (discounting the third, Vanuatu
at this hour); CRI in Japanese via Xian; and Mongolian Radio 2 but that was
from A-15 and not sure if currently active. Anyhow, the point was how poor
Asian conditions were today (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 7260, Dec 18 at 1253, very poor signal with
singing, presumably PBS Nei Menggu as listed; Asian
conditions are horrible this morning 2-10 MHz, and
non-sequitur temp here is 22F (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

This year's show is a bit different but we're sure you'll enjoy our perks
and quirks. On today's 2015 Christmas Special we're playing some compulsory
Christmas music, wonder what happened to Christmas is today's society, we
look at famous Christmas quotes and figure out what an Australian does for
a hot summer's Christmas day.

Over on the DXer.ca homepage I have a 32kbps MP3 recording on a CBC RCI
broadcast that has not been heard since December 1989! A 1 hour program
from the Reel-Reel master
that Ian McFarland owns.
Head on over - download for free -
And Merry Christmas! www.dxer.ca

** ARGENTINA. 11710.90, Dec 19 at 0136, RAE is S5 with undermodulated music;
hadn`t measured it lately, and tonight it`s a bit higher than usual, but never
yet reaching 11711.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EAST TURKISTAN. 7250, Dec 19 at 0126, poor S9 signal in Chinese, per EiBi,
CRI in Mandarin via Urumqi to South Asia, this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6959.0-AM, Dec 19 at 0051, weak music on the R75, encouraging
me to switch to the NRD-545. But a few minutes later as in next log, it`s in
USB, so different pirate station? Maybe, maybe not, per unID logs at
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,25172.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6959.0-USB, Dec 19 at 0108, rock guitar music, lyric ``I
don`t want to be alone`` heard more than once, 0112 CW ``ID`` as KARMA, and
then a message, repeated which I partially copied, trying to listen to Allan
Weiner at same time, but others got it exactly on
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,25173.0.html
as ``KARMA KARMA IS A BITCH IF YOU ARE`` and nothing further heard from 0113
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6925.75-AM, Dec 19 at 0118, very poor S8 signal with music.
These logs
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,25170.0.html
say it was Pirate Radio Boston with an Xmas show at 0032-0134* (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1650, Dec 19 at 0140, gospel music in the mix with Spanish from
TX/CO, so presumably Sallisaw`s KFSW but not the dominant signal it used to
achieve as KYHN. Not up to snuff? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 11240.0-AM, Dec 19 at 0152, S1 signal but sounds like a
broadcaster, maybe with a game. Does not work out to be a simple MW harmonic
but it does prove to be // local 1390 KCRC Enid ESPN. I can`t figure out any
formula mixing it with other locals on 960, 1640 to land it on 11240. It could
also be external mixing with a very strong SWBC signal, but nothing like that
at plus or minus 1390 from 11240 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU [and non]. 5980, Dec 19 at 0059, JBA carrier, 0100 some music, and now
two carriers beating, i.e. BBC UAE and Per?. I`m attempting to detect when one
of them, R. Chaski goes off, but they are just too weak, and give up at 0107.
Just before then, some other carrier(s) swept across (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1804 monitoring confirmed Friday Dec 18 at
2130.1 on WRMI 15770, and at 2130.6 on WRMI 7570; lower frequency as usual
stronger and holds up better here; reverse in Europe? Next:
Sat 0730 HLR 7265-CUSB to SW
Sat 1530 HLR 7265-CUSB to SW
Sat 2030v WA0RCR 1860-AM ND? [how far from St Louis is it audible in daytime?
Harold Frodge was hearing it in Michigan last week]
Sun 0415v WA0RCR 1860-AM ND? [may have started earlier last week]
Sun 0900 WRMI 5850 to NW [NEW!]
Mon 0400v WBCQ 5110v-CUSB Area 51 to WSW [beware of JL Xmas special]
Mon 0430 WRMI 9955 to SSE
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. 5109.7-CUSB, UT Sat Dec 19 from 0100, WBCQ with `Allan Weiner
Worldwide`; the first few minutes my attention is divided as I have him on the
PL-880 and on the NRD-545 am copying a pirate on 6959, while also tracking R.
Chaski for a cutoff time. At 0110 Allan is talking about broadcasters who are
no longer with us, such as ``the late, great Bill Cooper`` who got into a
shootout with police in Arizona; and Michael Ketter;
Allan also says Art Bell will be missed --- seems he has abruptly stopped his
`Midnight [sic] in the Desert` show (which was briefly on WBCQ) due to threats
against him and his family, to the level of gunshots being fired on his
property in Nevada. Strange I had not heard about this as the news broke a week
ago. Catch up via stories and scads of comments at:
http://midnightinthedesert.com/art-hangs-it-up-for-the-last-time/
http://midnightinthedesert.com/heather-updates-us-on-art-bell/
The Future of Midnight in the Desert and Dark Matter Radio Network:
http://midnightinthedesert.com/the-future-of-midnight-in-the-desert-and-dark-matter-radio-network/
So will WTWW and CFRX keep carrying M[sic]ITD with Heather instead of Art, if
indeed, DMRN keeps carrying it at all? UT Tue-Sat 0500-0800 on 5085, 6070.
Back to `AWWW`, then on the phone with Hal Turner for the next semi-hour until
starting to let him go at 0142, recounting his betrayal by the FBI landing him
in prison, and how he has ``throttled back a little bit`` his new show on WBCQ,
UT Thursdays 0200-0400 on 7490v; and the need for free speech on the radio and
everywhere. Before 0200, J.P. Ferraro is the guest, as 5109.7 switches to
`Grogcast`, so we have to listen on 7489.9-AM only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 6220, Dec 19 at 0130, no signal detected from WMDB via WNQM via
mixing product with WWCR; yet the WWCR fundamental, 1300 kHz higher on 7520 is
still very strong at S9+40. Nor 6220 heard at several other recent chex. So
maybe they have finally filtered out the ``La Ranchera 880`` Spanish spur?
Window to check for it is UT Tue-Sat 00-03 only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 7504.80, Dec 19 at 0202, WRNO DJ is introducing gospel music show, at
S9+30 but unlistenable due to suptorted (suppressed & distorted) modulation.
Spreads out but fortunately not quite down to 7490 WBCQ. This station can never
get its act together (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 869.985 approx., Dec 19 at 0145, WWL New Orleans is slightly
off-frequency to the lo side; I have been noticing this for a long time as I
bandscan MW in SSB on the NRD-545 at 10-kHz steps: makes a LAH unlike spot-on
stations such as KOA 850.00. Seems unusual that a major clear channel station
like WWL would be that far off. The MW Offset list, as of Oct 2015,
http://www.myradiobase.de/mediumwave/mwoffset.txt
as usual has years-old info for these, but at least are included:
870 869.996 USA WWL (New Orleans, LA) 20101103
850 849.9999 USA KOA (Denver (IBOC), CO) [-850.0000] 20130316
KOA has been non-IBOC-noise for a long time now, fortunately. Stations with
IBOC were supposedly more careful about frequency accuracy, the only positive
aspect of it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1600, UT Sat Dec 19 at 0205 UT, Saluki basketball, sponsored by
Marion Toyota, at half-time show. This has got to be KATZ St Louis MO, breaking
format from gospel hits as ``Hallelujah 1600``. Finally found on website a sked
of Saluki football, but nothing about BKB:
http://www.hallelujah1600.com/articles/southern-illinois-university-football-494597/2015-schedule-13912347/
Nor did they say they would really broadcast all those games. There are no
1600s in SIL or anywhere in IL, and KATZ night pattern aims toward us, not at
all toward Carbondale and vicinity; day pattern is almost ND (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
