Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
** AFGHANISTAN [non]. 7495, Jan 31 at 0106, S8 talk which per Aoki must be VOA
Radio Ashna in Dari alternating with Pashto 0030-0230, listed as 250 kW, 70
degrees from Kuwait. Don`t recall hearing this 7495 before, which is now much
more favorable for us, 340 degrees via SRI LANKA due to an antenna failure at
Kuwait. 7490v WBCQ is only S7 so not enough to QRM each other (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 7480, Jan 31 at 0102, JBA broadcast carrier in talk is
overcome by humwhine jamming, i.e. R. Free Asia in Uyghur via TAJIKISTAN, 200
kW, 60 degrees from Yangiyul per Aoki, during this hour only. Altho we often
hear weak spurious Cuban pulse jamming against nothing on 7480, this one can`t
be blamed on the Cubans, and maybe what Allan Weiner was complaining about,
altho not enough to bother 7490v WBCQ here.
BTW, re ChiCom also jamming broadcasts in Uzbek, replying to an inquiry by Tim
Hendel, I did a google search on ``Uzbek Uyghur similar languages`` and got a
number of useful hits, including this:
https://robertlindsay.wordpress.com/2010/01/04/mutual-intelligibility-among-the-turkic-languages/
which says: ``Uzbek and Uyghur are fairly close, but they are still probably
only 65-70% intelligible. Uzbek is spoken in Uzbekistan, and Uighur is spoken
in Xinjiang Province, China``. That`s how you spell East Turkistan (Glenn
Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 9690, 9670 and 9480, 0110-0112 Jan 31, all infested by CNR1
echo jamming. During this hour, 9690 is RFA Uighur via UAE; 9670 is RFA Tibetan
via Tajikistan; 9480 is RFA Uighur via Kuwait (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** EAST TURKISTAN. 7250, Jan 31 at 0059, CRI is S9+20, announcements in Chinese
pronouncing web info in English: www.chineseradio.cn, also spelling the name
Shanghai, holiday final (?), 0100 CRI IS and ID, mentions Harbin(?). It`s 500
kW, 212 degrees from Urumqi during this Chinese hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 6040.007, Jan 31 at 0126, The Mighty KBC is VG at S9+30,
heavy rock music, but not enough to blot out the het from R?dio RB2, Brasil on
hi side. This time I get out the keyboard to match the pitch and it`s close to
G4 above middle C = 392 Hz, above KBC via GERMANY. A modest proposal: if they
insist on broadcasting on a frequency vs a perpetual offset interferer, why not
zero-beat it? Match the frequency to at least get rid of the het, and RB2
listeners circa Brasil might also appreciate that. Such a move would be totally
contrary to international broadcasting ideals, especially in Germany, but as
noted above, they are a bit off-frequency themselves, already. Some
transmitters may not even be capable of such deliberate fine-tuning between 5
kHz steps.
Listening again after 0200, I notice rather heavy selective fading distortion
only an inveterate SWL would tolerate on the music. Radiogram doesn`t start
until 0224 with MFSK32 of snow on Kim`s car (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6940-AM, Jan 31 at 0056, JBA carrier is the only sign of a
pirate tonite. Also UNID for many others starting as early as 2110 Jan 30 (so
not necessarily the same one):
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,26040.0.html
including IDs around 2311 and 2330 as MAC SW Radio, and as late as 0044 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3325-USB, Jan 31 at 1148 I awaken, so go right to here for NBC
Bougainville, PNG, just reactivated. There is a JBA carrier with music, but
atop it is an Army MARS net designated A5A, but despite fonetix, hard to copy
any full calls, maybe AAR5CH. At 1152 net control announces a QSY to ``904``,
another secret frequency which I figure I will never find.
4036-USB, Jan 31 at 1200, continuing my upward bandscan, I do find the same A5A
Army MARS net as before on 3325, but announces this net is closing;
nevertheless, another attempted check-in follows (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1810 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday Jan 31 at 0424 on
WA0RCR, MO, 1860-AM, at midpoint so started about 0410 --- and with *heavy* CW
QRM on both sides. Must be a contest on 160m packing the band much more so than
usual. One almost on 1860, WA0RCR and me providing the BFO, is obviously
automated, no fist involved, repeatedly calling CQ evidently with few
responses; what`s the point? At least with ham contests in phone modes, we are
fairly confident the voices we hear are human and live even if they are stuck
in incredibly boring repetitiousness. I figured this would ensue as an earlier
check of 1860 at 0123 already found CW QRM to steady S9 WA0RCR. Next WORs:
Mon 0400v WBCQ 5110v-CUSB Area 51 to WSW
Mon 0430.5 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. 7490.025-AM, approx., Sat Jan 30 at 2200, as expected, WBCQ is on an
hour earlier than before on Sats for repeat of `Mennonite Radio`, James
Branum`s show originally UT Fridays at 0100 on 5109.7-CUSB. This time slightly
on the hi side of 7490, and no het from BBC Thailand, which if there is too
weak to show. Followed at 2230 by his other show `Broad Spectrum Radio`, this
episode about autism, and his own experiences with the condition. These
additions still do not appear on the WBCQ 7490 online program schedule.
J. P. Ferraro`s `Shortwave Saturday Night` starts at 2300, and by 0104 UT Jan
31, WBCQ has faded to only S7, the frequency dropped to its habitual area,
7489.94; is it a slow drift downward? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** YEMEN [non]. 11860, Jan 31 at 1452, R. Sana`a, usual good signal and usual
music, the thumping 4/4 triumphal stuff, 1456 into vocal, 1500 switch to talk
by YL in Arabic past 1505, NO break for a Call-to-Prayer today as the sun has
just set anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1500, Jan 31 at 0116 UT, continuous blues music station still in
KSTP null, and traces of the other unID emitting ringing/screeching sideband
sound. Come on, widespread monitoring of these could identify them (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1521.0, Jan 31 at 0118, JBA carrier hetting 1520.0 KOKC, surely
BSKSA 2-megawatter in Duba, often the only trace of trans-Atlantic MW here
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 2309.0, Jan 31 at 0130 UT, S5 signal just barely modulated and
drifting down slightly. Maybe this one is real rather than receiver-produced
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 3325.0, Jan 31 at 1148 a JBA carrier is obscured by an Army MARS
net (see USA Log) on USB; 1203 now the broadcaster is in clear, only S4. Back
to sleep until 1400: now it still reads S4 but some music into talk is audible
(at 1407, 60m is full of JBA carriers matching Indonesia/India/Tibet/China
frequencies).
The question is, whether this 3325 is RRI Palangkaraya, Indonesia, or the
just-reactivated NBC Bougainville. Any way to differentiate them by precise
frequencies? After testing into regular operation, if like other NBCs, may sign
off earlier circa 1200, or even 1100 UT, being an hour ahead of the rest of
PNG; while RRI runs as late as 1700 per WRTH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 3450, Jan 31 at 1155, JBA S5 AM carrier. Could be 5 x 690 or 3 x
1150 MW harmonic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5960.0, Jan 31 at 1410, JBA carrier, presumably PBS Xinjiang,
Urumqi, rather than an off-frequency lowsider as past two mornings, suspecting
a comeback by R. Fly, PNG (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6025, Jan 31 at 0052, two very weak carriers beating, one of
which is on the lo side circa 6024.95. Only two listed in Aoki at this time,
and which I find to be quite a reasonable explanation: PBS Xizang, Lhasa, Tibet
on one of its multiple frequencies, and BOLIVIA, the off-frequency one, Radio
Patria Nueva, which Aoki still denominates by its old name, Radio Illimani. Is
that still used on air? WRTH 2016 shows ``Rede Illimani --- Radio Patria
Nueva``. Rede would be Portuguese, not Spanish! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6135, Jan 31 at 1412, two carriers far enough apart to make a
rumble. Likely V. of Freedom, newish 10 kW clandestine from South to North
Korea, and NK jamming. Altho Aoki still lists Yemen here, Sana`a presumably
still inactive; and Madagascar, not reported for quite a while on this
frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
