Nothing totally out of the ordinary but some signals were much stronger
then usual. I listen from Galena, Alaska 300 miles west of Fairbanks and
300 miles east of Nome using a Tecsun PL880, 225 foot long wires, EmTech
ZM2 Antenna tuner, Wellbnrook ALA1530LNP loop & DX Engineering HF PreAmp.
7275kHZ, South Korea, KBS World Radio, October 19, 2016 1855 to 1900UTC. My
recording starts off with Korean classical music and then an announcement
for KBS World Radio, tlaking about when/where/how you can listen and giving
out contact information for the station, a short musical interlude plays
before the transmitter is turned off. This is about the strongest I've ever
heard this signal, A SINPO rating of 54444. The signal is pretty strong but
at times, lots of interference from stations on nearby channels. There is
some fading and atmospheric noise as well. Audio of 7275kHz is here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1MMKdTdF2c (Walker-AK)
7280kHz, VIETNAM, Voice of Vietnam, October 22, 2016 1901UTC to 1928UTC in
English to Europe. My listening begins with a preview of the program and
news headlines already in progress and actually almost over. The news intro
begins and then the female announcer reads the news in detail. Stories in
the newscast include talks about promoting economic development, the
national economy and private sector. Another story talked about Vietnam and
Belarus, there was a mention of the UN General Assembly. At 1919, the
female announcer introduced a Vietnamese song. The female announcer said
goodbye to the listening audience at just after 1926UTC then there was a
bit of dead air before my recording ended.I would give this a SINPO rating
of 45444. There was a bit of noise and fading, but a strong signal
overall.The speech is a little hard to understand since it's at lower
volume level then the music, apparently. Audio of 7280kHz from October 22nd
is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5ougJ5G9Kk. 7280 was also heard
on October 19 at 1904UTC with the usual fare of news stories/headlines. At
1915UTC, a short musical interlude played before the Letterbox program
started with two female announcers. At about 1918UTC, the announcers read
my reception report of 7315khz from October 15th. After the reading of my
report, they played a song for me. SINPO for this broadcast would be a
54454, overall very strong signal with good audio and not too much noise,
only some fading.Audio of 7280kHz from October 19th is here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw9RMVb2vN4(Walker-AK)
7315kHz, USA, Voice Of Vietnam, October 23, 2016 0012 to 0019UTC in
English to the Caribbean. The reception begins 0012UTC and starts with with
a short piece of interlude music. A female announcer then comes on and
discusses Hmong people and not knowing or having last names. At 0016UTC,
another short bit of interlude music plays again then they do a segment on
"major developments in Vietnam this week", they appear to be discussing new
laws and economic development. I would give this broadcast a SINPO rating
of 45324. The signal was overall pretty good but there was a fair amount of
fading which made it a bit hard to listen to. Audio of 7315kHz here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1O8m1UJEGew (Walker-AK)
9420kHz, GREECE, Voice of Greece October 21, 2016 2148UTC to 2203UTC.
Greece is heard here from time to time, but usually pretty weak. This
broadcast includes their standard fare of Greek music. SINPO rating for
this broadcast is 45534. The signal is great but propagaiton is fairly
disturbed making for choppy audio. Audio of 9420kHz is here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP-DFeWthaQ (Walker-AK)
9526kHz, INDONESIA, Voice Of Indonesia, October 9, 2016 2032UTC to 2058UTC.
There is a opretty apparent whine in the transmitter as it is evident
during this broadcast in Russian. that starts off with a man talking.
Around 2047, a song starts to play. A female announcer comes on about 2056
and I think she gives some kind of closing announcement, I recognize the
phrase "Goodbye" said in Russian followed by some Indonesian classical type
music playing and then the transmitter is turned off. SINPO rating of
45453/ I'm ratign this reception fair because that whine is annoying and
extremely fatiguing to the ears, otherwise a good signal with good audio,
not much noise or fading. Audio here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGD7WktomUs (Walker-AK)
9790kHz, ROMANIA, Radio Romania International.
9870kHz, INDIA, All India Radio Vivdh Bharati Service 1600UTC to 1645UTC on
October 18, 2016 with their usual fare of lovely, light Indian music.SINPO
rating of 55555! This is one of the best recordings I have of the station!
You have to hear how good this is! Audio here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwNbyb029oo (Walker-AK)
11735kHz, ZANZIBAR, Zanzibar Broadcasting Corporation 2056 to 2059UTC on
October 20, 2016. An excellent signal with music being played, maybe in
Swahili? A female announcer comes on to talk at 2059UTC and is cut off in
mid stence just seconds before 2100. SINPO rating on this broadcast is
55545. The signal is steady and strong, propagaiton is just a bit choppy
and garbled up. This is a pretty good signal from them, but not the best
I've ever had them. They've been a local AM station like signal at times.
Audio here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKKU07Ueses(Walker-AK)
11735kHz, NORTH KOREA, Voice of Korea October 17, 2016 028UTC to 0550
UTC.The English service broadcast to "Latin America". Usual fare of
propaganda talk,military/marching/orchaestral music. Super strong signal,
SINPO rating for this broadcast of 6666!! Audio of 11735kHz here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3NQWbRnecw (Walker-AK)
12019kHz VIETNAM, Voice Of Vietnam, 2329UTC to 0000UTC October 22,
2016.English to Indonesia. Broadcast began at 2330UTC with the interval
tune and then female announcer talking about whats coming up on todays show
while going over news headlines as well then the news theme music playing
followed by headlines in detail. at about 2351, the female announcer begins
to talk about a song and then the song plays. Just a few seconds before
2358, the female announcer talks after the song ends and says goodbye to
the listening audience. There's a little bit of dead air before the
transmitter is turned off. I would give this broadcast a SINPO rating of
34222. The signal was OK, strength wise but alot of noise and some fading
made getting exact details tough to gather Audio of 12019kHz here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZrhtrh3YaA (Walker-AK)
12035kHz, MONGOLIA, Voice of Mongolia. 0859 to 0930UTC October 9, 2016 The
broadcast starts off with the very recognizable interval tune, a male
announcing the name of the station. A female announcer comes on, mentioning
what times and frequencies people can listen into the english show with a
mention of the station website. Another female announcer then begins the
show welcoming folks to the Sunday music show, with a news segment
beginning the show A song begins at about 3 minutes and 15 seconds into the
show an the female announcer introduces the song prior to it starting, but
I can't understand the name of the song or artist. The announcer is talking
about the music at about 0926UTC then thanks everyone for listening and
says goodbye. An upbeat current Mongolian songs then plays and gets cut off
with the transmitter being turned off. I would give this broadcast a SINPO
Rating of 45344. The signal was pretty good and there was no interference
but there was a moderate about of fading and slight bit of choppy
propagation. Audio of 12035kHz here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxh3XbtVlko (Walker-AK)
15590kHz,THAILAND, Radio Thailand. October 12, 2016 2358UTC. The broadcast
begins with time pips just before 0000UTC on October 13th and then an
announcer saying "This is Radio Thailand's World Service....Broadcasting
from Bangkok, this is Radio Thailand's World Service". Some orchestral type
music plays before an announcer introduces Radio Thailand news from the
public relations department office. A Female and male anchor team begin
the broadcast with a brief preview of national and global news headlines
then going into those headlines in detail with stories including Bureau of
Royal Household discussing the health of His Majesty The King and a Prime
Minister's cancellation of his duties. A global news story includes a coast
guard story and a business news story on political intervention. I would
give this broadcast a SINPO rating of 45344. The broadcast was overall very
listenable but there was a very high amount of fading and atmospheric
noise.15590kHz audio here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETAkwLWu4sc .
15590 at 0000UTC and 9390 at 1900 UTC are very regular, stable visitors
here. 9390khz had a very solid, steady signal here and segment on whats
happening in Thailand on September 24, 2016 at 1937UTC, audio is here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQnEexGUBoE (Walker-AK)
15620kHz & 17840kHz, PHILIPPINES, Radyo Pilipinas 0223UTC to
0315UTC.October 22, 2016. Their english service broadcast. 15620khz at
0255UTC is just ending it's "It's more fun in the Philippines" segment
when my recording starts. They give out contact information for the station
and then invite listeners to their website to get more information and
listen live online. After that website promotional announcement, a music
program hosted by a lady comes on with music form Argentina and Uruguay. I
would give 15620 a SINPO rating of 44444. Overall, good reception with a
moderate amount of fading and a slight it of noise. Audio of 15620kHz is
here: https://soundcloud.com/onairdjpaulwalker/15640-radyo-pilipinas-loop
My recording of 17840kHz starts at 0223UTC with what sounds like a
Filipino song. A male announcer comes on and mentions the name of the song
then mentions taking listeners on a virtual tour of a Filipino province. I
would give this a SINPO Rating of 45334. The signal was ok but there was a
moderate amount of noise and fading, with the signal getting worse later
on. Audio of 17840khz here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbxmhEqyV7w
15640khz and 17820khz were also heard here a day earlier on October 21,
2016 between 0214utc and 0330UTC. My recording of 15640khz this day begins
with a male announcer talking about the station, giving the name as DZRP,
RAdyo Pilipinas World Service then news comes on from the PBS News Center
and does a long segment on local, regional and national news with an anchor
in studio introducing various reports sound bites. I would give this a
SINPO rating of 45334. The signal was fair to good, but a bit of fading and
choppy propagation made it hard to listen to. Audio of 15640 on October
21st is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs8ZTwY5aJo. I heard 17840kHz
from 0323utc to 0330UTC sign off. There was a song playing when I tuned in
followed by a male announcer giving out the station contact information,
frequency information, broadcast schedule information, then I think either
a station jingle plays or a Philipine national song plays before the
transmitter is turned off. The signal this time was a SINPO Rating of
25223. The signal was strong but there was ALOT of fading and atmospheric
noise. Audio of 17840 on October 21st is here:

Good Stuff Paul;
You comment on Indonesian B/C er's Whining !!
I worked in Sumatra & Borneo in '90's, and then after the Tsunami, around
2006-07.
When I was there in the 90's, with a couple Single Conversion S/W sets, the
Hets. from the domestic S/W B/Cers, and the squilling, and such was grating on
my nerves. [ compared to my Discman ]
All the sets I travelled with after the quake / tsunami were good Dual
Conversion ones , and the difference between the ones that I had left there 12
years earlier was amazing, especially with the Domestic Broadcasting Junk that
some local areas have. [ 3-4 khz off Zeros & Fives,....Yooy ]

Nothing totally out of the
ordinary but some signals were much stronger then usual. I
listen from Galena, Alaska 300 miles west of Fairbanks and
300 miles east of Nome using a Tecsun PL880, 225 foot long
wires, EmTech ZM2 Antenna tuner, Wellbnrook ALA1530LNP loop
& DX Engineering HF PreAmp.
7275kHZ, South Korea, KBS World
Radio, October 19, 2016 1855 to 1900UTC. My recording starts
off with Korean classical music and then an announcement for
KBS World Radio, tlaking about when/where/how you can listen
and giving out contact information for the station, a short
musical interlude plays before the transmitter is turned
off. This is about the strongest I've ever heard this
signal, A SINPO rating of 54444. The signal is pretty strong
but at times, lots of interference from stations on nearby
channels. There is some fading and atmospheric noise as
well.? Audio of 7275kHz is here:?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1MMKdTdF2c

7280kHz,
VIETNAM, Voice of Vietnam, October 22, 2016 ?1901UTC to
1928UTC in English to Europe. My listening begins with a
preview of the program and news headlines already in
progress and actually almost over. The news intro begins and
then the female announcer reads the news in detail. Stories
in the newscast include talks about promoting economic
development, the national economy and private sector.
Another story talked about Vietnam and Belarus, there was a
mention of the UN General Assembly. At 1919, the female
announcer introduced a Vietnamese song. The female announcer
said goodbye to the listening audience at just after 1926UTC
then there was a bit of dead air before my recording ended.I
would give this a SINPO rating of 45444. There was a bit of
noise and fading, but a strong signal overall.The speech is
a little hard to understand since it's at lower volume
level then the music, apparently. Audio of 7280kHz from
October 22nd is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5ougJ5G9Kk.
7280 was also heard on October 19 at 1904UTC with the usual
fare of news stories/headlines. At 1915UTC, a short musical
interlude played before the Letterbox program started with
two female announcers. At about 1918UTC, the announcers read
my reception report of 7315khz from October 15th. After the
reading of my report, they played a song for me. SINPO for
this broadcast would be a 54454, overall very strong signal
with good audio and not too much noise, only some
fading.Audio of 7280kHz from October 19th is here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw9RMVb2vN4(Walker-AK)
7315kHz, USA,
Voice Of Vietnam, ?October 23, 2016 0012 to 0019UTC in
English to the Caribbean. The reception begins 0012UTC and
starts with with a short piece of interlude music. A female
announcer then comes on and discusses Hmong people and not
knowing or having last names. At 0016UTC, another short bit
of interlude music plays again then they do a segment on
"major developments in Vietnam this week", they
appear to be discussing new laws and economic development. I
would give this broadcast a SINPO rating of 45324. The
signal was overall pretty good but there was a fair amount
of fading which made it a bit hard to listen to. Audio of
7315kHz here:?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1O8m1UJEGew

9420kHz, GREECE,
Voice of Greece October 21, 2016 2148UTC to 2203UTC. Greece
is heard here from time to time, but usually pretty weak.
This broadcast includes their standard fare of Greek music.
SINPO rating for this broadcast is 45534. The signal is
great but propagaiton is fairly disturbed making for choppy
audio. Audio of 9420kHz is here:?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP-DFeWthaQ
(Walker-AK)
9526kHz,
INDONESIA, Voice Of Indonesia, October 9, 2016 2032UTC to
2058UTC. There is a opretty apparent whine in the
transmitter as it is evident during this broadcast in
Russian. ?that starts off with a man talking. Around 2047,
a song starts to play.? A female announcer comes on about
2056 and I think she gives some kind of closing
announcement, I recognize the phrase "Goodbye"
said in Russian followed by some Indonesian classical type
music playing and then the transmitter is turned off. SINPO
rating of 45453/ I'm ratign this reception fair because
that whine is annoying and extremely fatiguing to the ears,
otherwise a good signal with good audio, not much noise or
fading. Audio here:?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGD7WktomUs

9790kHz,
ROMANIA, Radio Romania International.?9870kHz,

1645UTC on October 18, 2016 with their usual fare of lovely,
light Indian music.SINPO rating of 55555! This is one of the
best recordings I have of the station! You have to hear how
good this is! Audio here:?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwNbyb029oo

11735kHz,
ZANZIBAR, Zanzibar Broadcasting Corporation 2056 to 2059UTC
on October 20, 2016. An excellent signal with music being
played, maybe in Swahili? A female announcer comes on to
talk at 2059UTC and is cut off in mid stence just seconds
before 2100. SINPO rating on this broadcast is 55545. The
signal is steady and strong, propagaiton is just a bit
choppy and garbled up. This is a pretty good signal from
them, but not the best I've ever had them. They've
been a local AM station like signal at times. Audio

and then female announcer talking about whats coming up on
todays show while going over news headlines as well then the
news theme music playing followed by headlines in detail. at
about 2351, the female announcer begins to talk about a song
and then the song plays. Just a few seconds before 2358, the
female announcer talks after the song ends and says goodbye
to the listening audience. There's a little bit of dead
air before the transmitter is turned off. I would give this
broadcast a SINPO rating of 34222. The signal was OK,
strength wise but alot of noise and some fading made getting
exact details tough to gather Audio of 12019kHz here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZrhtrh3YaA?(Walker-AK)
12035kHz, MONGOLIA, Voice of
Mongolia. 0859 to 0930UTC October 9, 2016 The broadcast
starts off with the very recognizable interval tune, a male
announcing the name of the station. A female announcer comes
on, mentioning what times and frequencies people can listen
into the english show with a mention of the station website.
Another female announcer then begins the show welcoming
folks to the Sunday music show, with a news segment
beginning the show A song begins at about 3 minutes and 15
seconds into the show an the female announcer introduces the
song prior to it starting, but I can't understand the
name of the song or artist. The announcer is talking about
the music at about 0926UTC then thanks everyone for
listening and says goodbye. An upbeat current Mongolian
songs then plays and gets cut off with the transmitter being
turned off. I would give this broadcast a SINPO Rating of
45344. The signal was pretty good and there was no
interference but there was a moderate about of fading and
slight bit of choppy propagation. Audio of 12035kHz

15590kHz,THAILAND, Radio Thailand.
October 12, 2016 2358UTC. The broadcast begins with time
pips just before 0000UTC on October 13th and then an
announcer saying "This is Radio Thailand's World
Service....Broadcasting from Bangkok, this is Radio
Thailand's World Service". Some orchestral type
music plays before an announcer introduces Radio Thailand
news from the public relations department office.? A Female
and male anchor team begin the broadcast with a brief
preview of national and global news headlines then going
into those headlines in detail with stories including Bureau
of Royal Household discussing the health of His Majesty The
King and a Prime Minister's cancellation of his duties.
A global news story includes a coast guard story and a
business news story on political intervention. I would give
this broadcast a SINPO rating of 45344. The broadcast was
overall very listenable but there was a very high amount of
fading and atmospheric noise.15590kHz audio
here:?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETAkwLWu4sc

15620kHz & 17840kHz,
PHILIPPINES, Radyo Pilipinas 0223UTC to 0315UTC.October 22,
2016. Their english service broadcast. 15620khz at 0255UTC
is just ending it's ?"It's more fun in the
Philippines" segment when my recording starts. They
give out contact information for the station and then invite
listeners to their website to get more information and
listen live online. After that website promotional
announcement, a music program hosted by a lady comes on with
music form Argentina and Uruguay.? I would give 15620 a
SINPO rating of 44444. Overall, good reception with a
moderate amount of fading and a slight it of noise. Audio of
15620kHz is here:
https://soundcloud.com/onairdjpaulwalker/15640-radyo-pilipinas-loop
??My recording of 17840kHz starts at 0223UTC with what
sounds like a Filipino song. A male announcer comes on and
mentions the name of the song then mentions taking listeners
on a virtual tour of a Filipino province. I would give this
a SINPO Rating of 45334. The signal was ok but there was a
moderate amount of noise and fading, with the signal getting
worse later on. Audio of 17840khz
here:?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbxmhEqyV7w
?15640khz and 17820khz were also heard here a day earlier
on October 21, 2016 between 0214utc and 0330UTC. My
recording of 15640khz this day begins with a male announcer
talking about the station, giving the name as DZRP, RAdyo
Pilipinas World Service then news comes on from the PBS News
Center and does a long segment on local, regional and
national news with an anchor in studio introducing various
reports sound bites. I would give this a SINPO rating of
45334. The signal was fair to good, but a bit of fading and
choppy propagation made it hard to listen to.? Audio of
15640 on October 21st is here:?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs8ZTwY5aJo.
I heard 17840kHz from 0323utc to 0330UTC sign off. There was
a song playing when I tuned in followed by a male announcer
giving out the station contact information, frequency
information, broadcast schedule information, then I think
either a station jingle plays or a Philipine national song
plays before the transmitter is turned off. The signal this
time was a SINPO Rating of 25223. The signal was strong but
there was ALOT of fading and atmospheric noise. Audio of
17840 on October 21st is here:?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sr5PUid5x0

** BRAZIL. 5035, Oct 29 at 0107, very poor signal with Doppler flutter,
presumably R. Aparecida, normally masked by splash from 5040 RHC, which is off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9818.87, Oct 29 at 0039, very poor S4-S5 carrier, no doubt R. Nove
de Julho, always off-frequency below 9820, and sometimes even below 9819 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 2598-USB, Oct 29 at 0054 UT, robot YL with weather in English, S6;
2749-USB, Oct 29 at 0055 UT, robot YL with weather in French, S5. Still in well
on MF despite depressed northerly MUF on HF.
Rich Ray`s compilation for the DXLD yg from Canadian Coast Guard shows these
are, with start times:
0040 UT 2749 VCO Sydney via Port Caledonia NS 46 11 14 -59 53 59
0048 UT 2598 VCP Placentia via St Lawrence NL 46 55 06 -55 22 45
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5040, Oct 29 at 0107, RHC is OFF, allowing a JBA carrier here, maybe
INDIA? 5025, Oct 29 at 0107, R. Rebelde is on at S9+35, but dead air! Way to
go, RadioCuba! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 7365, Oct 29 at 0048, R. Mart?, with b?isbol game, mentions
American League, Cleveland, player Tyler Naquin (sp?). Therefore I am confident
that the only silly BB game that might be broadcasting now would be the North
American Sequence. I figured RM would be carrying it (but nostation in English)
since Rick Wald wondered if the ``World Series`` could be heard anywhere on SW.
Jamming quite lite now on 7365, but heavy on // 6030. Wonder if the DentroCuban
Jamming Command relented a bit for the occasion? Rick laments that at his

** U S A. 7490, 5130 & 3250, UT Sat Oct 29 at 0010, WBCQ with `Allan Weiner
Worldwide`, trimulcasting in disturbed auroral conditions, which weakens 7490
here, makes delayed // 5130.08 unusually better at S9+25. Says 3250 is also on
air, but at first all I can perceive is a JBA carrier circa 3250.3. By 0028,
5130 is fading down too, S7. By 0056, 3250 modulation is detectable // 7490.
0112 recheck, now some program info, but copy is getting difficult on any
frequency. Charlie Prince show in German will be on a week from tomorrow, Sat 9
pm ET on 9330 [UT Nov 6 when DST will still be in effect, so = 01 UT Sunday].
Carol Babaloo (?) will be a 3-hour extravagaza music show, episode 1, Sunday
Nov 20 at 3-6 pm EST on 5130 (20-23 UT). Dead Frog Radio will be once a month,
I think he said.
In promoting his fund drive, Allan asserts that he would like to see some
liberal / leftwing/ progressive programming on WBCQ, but none such wants to
appear. Maybe the fundraiser will allow something like that to be underwritten.
At 0123, 7490 has recovered to S9+10 for his benedixion, piously calling upon
God to intervene in the elexion and ``bring us a good president`` which he says
we have not really had in his lifetime. Allan, of course, is backing Trump, no
matter what. Says his absentee ballot is on hand, waiting until just before he
departs for winter in Florida, before elexion day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search October 28, UT:
702-WSW at 1233, two carriers beating
774-WSW at 1233
1098-W at 1238
576-, at 1235, 1241, somewhat NW but hard to peak, and it`s a bit off-frequency
to lo side, so suspect this is really something local. However, not hearing it
later during full daytime. (I am still hearing the 594+ spur of 1640-KZLS.)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1590, Oct 29 at 0026 UT, I`m checking for the S Asian music John
Reed in Shawnee OK had reported to NRC DX News a couple weeks ago which he
concluded came from KLIV, way out in San Jos?, California. Doubtful to me, so I
researched that and concluded it was most likely WCGO Evanston IL. Here`s his
report and what I wrote in reply:
``1590, KLIV, CA, San Jos? ? 10/14 2130 [EDT = 0130 UT Oct 15] ? After
listening to this station occasionally over a span of several years, but
hearing no ID I finally IDed it. The broadcast is in Hindi language with a few
English words and pop Hindi music. Snooping around on the internet turned up
KLIV as broadcasting Hindi and Bollywood music. That?s it!`` (John Reed,
Shawnee, OK, Brigantina (USSR-made in the 1990s); NRD-525; AOR AR-7030;
Homebrew tuned ferrite loops, Clifton Labs active whip, phaser, Domestic DX
Digest-West, NRC DX News Oct 31 via DXLD)
```! KLIV is 5/5 kW, and October FCC sunset is 0130 UT. NRC Pattern Book shows
both night and day patterns are circle northwest into the Pacific. Should not
be putting any signal toward us. But FCC AM Query says it`s NON-direxional
daytime, so John may have got it just at switch time (November: 0100 UT). I`ll
have to look for it! But his ID is apparently based on format, not ID --- could
it be anything closer?
WCGO Evanston IL, 10/2.5 kW U2 is partly ETHnic. Nothing else around here could
fit unless another radical change, but he`s been getting this for years.
NRC AM Log 2016-2017 shows KLIV as C&W, 24-hour ``Country Gold 1590``, but
could have flipped since August? Radio-locator.com still has KLIV as Country
Gold with different patterns day and night, but not that different, with some
signal still to the east.
>From Own website:
http://www.kliv.com/about-us/
``Welcome to 1590 KLIV ? San Jose?s Country Gold. Your destination for country
music from the 80?s, 90?s, and 2000?s. You might be looking for what was once
Silicon Valley?s New[s] Station. On June 10, 2016 KLIV sent out its last news
broadcast. So why Country Gold, and why just this era? These were the best
years for country radio, with the introduction of amazing artists like Garth
Brooks, Reba, Alan Jackson, Vince Gill, Trisha Yearwood, Tim McGraw, and
Martina McBride. We?d like to bring you these artists, and many more, right
here on 1590 KLIV Country Gold``
So there was a recent format flip, but certainly not to Bollywood. And it took
no more than 5 seconds of listening to
http://icy3.abacast.com:80/empirebroadcasting-klivamaac-64
at 0343 UT October 28 to tell that it`s country, not Bollywood.
So where on the internet did John find KLIV to be Hindi and Bollywood? Long
outdated info, or from the future?
Now let`s check out WCGO Evanston IL
http://1590wcgo.com/schedule
It`s mostly talk, but some shows look like they are not in English. His log was
Friday at 8:30 pm CDT, so on the sked M-F is:
7 pm - 11 pm Night Star Radio Joe Rasho.
I bring up stream at 0355 UT Oct 28, just before the show is to end:
http://streamdb5web.securenetsystems.net/v5/WCGO
and yes, non-English announcement, and S Asian? music. 0359 UT closing
announcement unseems Hindi, but more like Hebrew? They do have a number of
Jewish programs. No, but close: searching on Joe Rasho WCGO reveals it`s one of
their ASSYRIAN programs:
https://www.facebook.com/joe.rasho/videos/10211001422178214/?hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE
or just
https://www.facebook.com/joe.rasho
I think John must have been getting WCGO instead. It`s N-D day, but night
pattern is supposed to go NNE, no good for us. Likely another one running day
pattern at night, at least when we could hear it. I`ll be trying to hear it; if
he or I can, getting a DF fix on it should confirm whether it could be WCGO,
and not KLIV.
I`m glad I was led to WCGO since I see they also have a Milt Rosenberg page,
ex-WGN, which says
``MILT IS CURRENTLY TAKING A BREAK FROM HIS LIVD [sic] RADIO PROGRAM. DOWNLOAD
HIS SHOW PODCASTS TO KEEP YOUR BRAIN IN SHAPE! Podcast Feed:
http://feedpress.me/milt-rosenberg ``
You may skip the anti-Obama ones```
Now at 0026 UT Oct 29 there is heavy CCI on 1590, but looping NE seems to be
some ME or S Asian music and non-English talk in the mix. Unfortunately,
logistically, I can`t DX and check webcasts simultaneously. Competition at
first is ESE/WNW English call-in for Biblical advice, unsure whence, gone after
0030 UT, sunset? That was nullable, but still too much QRM to pull anything
from WCGO(?). Will need to be on ND day pattern to have a chance here. At 0043
UT I`m getting something else in English, probably NNW, KVGB in KS. I keep
nulling that and aiming toward Chicago, undivided attention to 1590 from 0058
UT to 0102 UT, but nothing surfaces above the pileup. Conditions might have
been auroral, but no, Chicago 1690, 780 and 670 are in just fine at 0028 UT
check.
WCGO would legally be on ND day pattern only until 2315 UT in October, 2230 UT
in November. That`s before the Assyrian program on weekdays, altho on Saturdays
there are several of them all afternoon as late as 7 pm CT. A.k.a. Neo-Aramaic:

UNIDENTIFIED. 1650, Oct 29 at 0010 UT and several more chex the following
hour+, no signal from beacon SAC, which was being reported last night, first by
Tim Tromp in Michigan. Speculation was that SAC was another test from a beacon
manufacturer in Beaumont TX, which was heard a few years ago on 320 and 325
kHz, but if this is a harmonic, the fundamental would have to be 330 instead.
(Not heard here on 330 either.) Les Rayburn in AL was getting it from the
southeast, called the company and they said it`s not them now, but I wonder if
one of their units has been installed somewhere in the Gulf or Caribbean, still
programmed to emit the temporary test ID of SAC. Oil rigs at sea may well use
the X-band fundamentally. Anyhow, all I am hearing are the usual CO and IA 1650
broadcast stations (and precious little from OK`s own KFSW). On Oct 28, Tim
Tromp was getting it again as early as 2218 UT, as was Mark Pettifor in Indiana
at 2245 UT. For them it was roughly southward. And this
just in on the NRC-AM list:
``1650, SAC beacon. Per tips on NRC/IRCA lists reporting this one, I have it
here (just W of Gainesville, FL) at 0150-0215+ UT with CW. Signal is fair to
very good, equal to and at times over co-channel stations, though with some
fades. Nulls N of due W, so given Les Rayburn's S-SE bearing from Montgomery,
this would seem to indicate a location in the northern Gulf. David Potter,
Gainesville, FL, C Crane Skywave barefoot`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
