** BANGLADESH. 15505, April 10 at 1358, Bangladesh Betar open carrier is about S8, quite an improvement. IS starts at 1359:24.5 but only one play and a fragment of another before cut to 5+1 mis-timesignal ending at 1400:04, much closer than usual, opening Urdu (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 13690, April 10 at 1349-1353, last few minutes of Dvorak`s New World Symphony atop weaker CCI; also found // on weak 13830, fair 11785. Leave it to ChiCom jammers to broadcast some great classical music, which Western targets would never waste SW time on, even on an American theme. This is regular programming on CNR1 Sunday evenings. Vs: 13690 IBB in Chinese via Saipan; 13830 IBB in Tibetan via Tajikistan; 11785 IBB in Chinese via Tinang, Philippines (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA [non]. Re: ``CUBA. 9580, April 10 at 0127, no signal from CRI English relay still supposed to be here at 0100-0200 in A-16`` Glenn, I noticed 9580 was missing a day or two ago and assumed it was due to a faulty transmitter. However, when checking the schedule on the CRI website it shows they're no longer using 9580 for English to the US. See the schedule that began on March 27. http://english.cri.cn/7146/2015/10/29/2141s901749.htm 73, (Jim K5JG, DX LISTENING DIGEST) So it is; looks like all the other Cuban (and Albanian) relay frequencies (none labeled as such) for CRI English are still in place, never changing from season to season. Time conversions to PDT and EDT are correct, except they are both labeled STANDARD time! That`s not the same, as so many people seem to think (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 6000, April 10 at 0547, RHC English with distorted music, unlike the // frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also CHINA [non] ** INDIA. 15040, April 10 at 1305, music at S7-S9 but fluttering, i.e. AIR Chinese service, 1145-1315, 500 kW, 35 degrees from Bengaluru. It ought to be jammed but this is not what CNR1 is carrying elsewhere. 15050, April 10 at 1305, much weaker S2 signal than 15040; this is also AIR, 1115-1500 in Tamil and Sinhala, 250 kW, 174 degrees from Delhi. AIR has yet another down here, 15030 at 1000-1100 via Aligarh in English. Strange how these intrusions into the aeronautical band 15005-15100 have survived apparently with no objexions. Per HFCC, one other is IBB`s extensive use of 15090 to Afghanistan at 0030-0300 via Thailand, 0300-1430 via Kuwait (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 11580, April 10 at 1337, WRMI with World Music, African at the moment; earlier in this hour it had a non-BS gospel huxter as scheduled Sundays only, so switched at 1330? 15440, April 10 at 1359 and 1405, no signal from WRMIBS; strange, as RHC is blasting in on 15370, so propagation is OK. Have noticed 15440 missing before, unlucky #13 transmitter, nominally scheduled 14-23, paired with 7730 at 23-14. By 1503 recheck, 15440 is on with BS but poorly audible with fading (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 580, April 10 at 1209-1211 UT, Pres. Obama`s Weekly Address, about consumer protexion, via WIBW Topeka KS. Assume this is a regular spot, Sundays at 1206 UT. These used to air first on Saturdays at 1406 UT followed by Republican dis-response an hour later, or vice versa. C-SPAN (1) tries to schedule them circa 2220 UT Saturdays, not always succeeding, just before their media program, The Communicators (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 702, April 10 at 1157 UT, JBA carrier peaks WSW, i.e. 2BL Sydney, Australia; also a trace on 774, but too weak to tell whether from Melbourne or Japan. Our sunrise today: 1204 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 1480, April 10 at 1237-1302 UT, I`m trying again for the ``1290 y 1480 Que/Ke Buena`` I had exactly 24 hours earlier, but today the only music I hear contending with talk from KQAM KS, is South Asian, i.e. KLVL Pasadena TX (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report despatched at 1605 UT April 10 _ 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.
