Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
** ANGOLA. 4949.72, Jan 16 at 0406, good modulation on S9 signal, Portuguese
time check for 5:06, ID in passing as R?dio Nacional de Angola (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL [and non]. 9664.915, Jan 16 at 0615, Voz Mission?ria measured here,
also with CCI from another weak carrier slightly offset from it (presumably
P`yongyang, closer to 9665.0).
What catches my attention is that with 1-kHz step tuning on R75, I hear exactly
the same pitch het from the next ZY up, R?dio Can??o Nova, 9674.915, then
measured separately (at least they are within 2 Hz of the same offset) (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15370, Sunday Jan 15 at 2232, RHC Spanish with music, instead of
scheduled Esperanto. On Jan 1, Esperanto fan Claudio Galaz in Chile was hearing
the artificial language one hour earlier, and I meant to check then today, but
missed it. Anyhow it`s no longer at 2230 on 15370. While I`m at it, survey the
other RHC frequencies 2232-2235:
// Spanish on 13740, 11840, 11760, 9710, 9535, 5040. VP carrier on 6060 from
algo. NOT on: 17730, 15230; and strangely missing, English on 11880.
11435.0, Jan 15 at 2251, RHC English is here!! I happen to be spinning the dial
way out of band or would have missed it. Obviously another mixup, putting RHC
on a well-known spy-numbers frequency, also obviously sharing same transmitter,
as RHC must be a subsidiary of Cuban Intelligence. EiBi shows the only
transmission for that is: ``11435 1554-1650 CUB Cuban Spy Numbers S Am`` ---
tho spy frequencies often run open carriers for much additional time. 11435 RHC
will be memorialized as an alternate frequency to 11880 in the DX/SWL/MEDIA
PROGRAMS roster, just at 16180 has been at another hour. 11435 is S9+30 but
somewhat suptorted modulation. Programming is the `World of Stamps` show,
saying that next edition in two weeks (alternate-Sunday scheduling) will start
reading essays from listeners in some contest.
6000, Jan 16 at 0412, RHC English is S9+20 but suptorted; 0414 `DXers
Unlimited` starts with Arnie reading press obit for Pat Dyer (one thing Arnie &
I can agree on: WA5IYX was a superb VHF DXer and sporadic-E researcher). //
6165 at S9+25 is better but also undermodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11600, Jan 16 at 1457, Denge Kurdistane good at S9+10 with
music. At *1500 sharp, another carrier cuts on, making a SAH for a few seconds,
then music stops and initial transmitter goes off. Dead air until music comes
up again on succeeding transmitter at 1502:20, still S9+10 but sounds slightly
weaker.
EiBi and Aoki both show a 1500 transition on 11600 from Moldova to Bulgaria
(EiBi still calls it ``Denge Mesopotamia``.) But the last we heard from Ivo was
that Bulgaria site is no longer involved, instead France (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 5792, Jan 16 at 0409, S6 JBA signal, trace of YHWH talk, must
be Mr Elliott on his favorite frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** UGANDA [non]. 15240, Sun Jan 15 at 1909, very poor S4 signal, presumably all
we are getting from R. Munansi via WWRB today. Equivalent to 15825 neighbor
WWCR (which however a few hours earlier was getting a sporadic E boost) (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1860 monitoring: confirmed UT Monday Jan 16 at 0402 on
Area 51 via WBCQ 5129.82-AM, but poor and mostly unreadable. Rechecking for the
closing, JBA until 0429:24, and on to HRI. WOR 1860 also barely confirmed UT
Mon Jan 16 at 0430 on WRMI 9955, JBA but theme music recognizable, and 0444 a
familiar but unreadable voice. (No // 6855 available now since that`s // 5985
with `Blues Radio International`, UT Mondays 0430). Next:
Tue 0030 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Tue 0030 WRMI 7730 to WNW
Tue 1200 WRMI 9955 to SSE, 6855 to WNW
Tue 2130 WRMI 15770 to NE
Tue 2300 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 0030 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Wed 1030 WRMI 5850 to NW
Wed 1415.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE, 6855 to WNW
Wed 2200 WBCQ 7490v to WSW
Thu 0030 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 6855, Jan 15 at 0807, I`m unfortunately awake past 0800 so check what
WRMI is doing: World Music here; 7730 Brother Scare; 5850 a different gospel
huxter from a Church of Christ. (Before 0800 the three would be // with
whatever.)
6855, UT Mon Jan 16, however, at 0623, WRMI World Music here but NOT the same
W.M. as on 7730 // 5850.
6855, Jan 16 at 1505, hard to hear this WRMI in full daytime, but straining, I
am getting Zorba the Greek, so indeed is playing World Music fill --- and all
day until 2000? as nothing else specified, and Brother Hystairical is no longer
paying for this transmitter. If so, not clear why they leave it on air.
15770, Jan 16 at 1505 & 1536 chex, no signal from this WRMIBS, normally
detectable, as are 15825 WWCR and 15610 WEWN. Probably an anomaly rather than
another cutback (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9265, Jan 16 at 0419, WINB is still on. Yes, on UT Mondays only the
last program on the schedule starts at 0400, `Worship at Home`, with end time
never specified.
BTW, 7505v, Jan 16 at 0420, WRNO is off despite normal run to 0500* (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4870-, Jan 15 at 0755, JBA carrier, typical offset of Wamena,
RRI. Could it be propagating already? Yes, I figure the approx. sunset there
circa 0830, since it`s in the UT+9 zone, easternmost Papua and almost on the
Equator. Wamena is not among the Indonesian cities at gaisma.com, but it does
show Jaya Pura SS at 0854. WRTH and Aoki have sign-on at *0800. Only other 4870
broadcaster is AIR, clearly way too early for that and not even scheduled to be
on at this hour (never mind the imaginary LV del Upano, Ecuador, which survives
only in Aoki) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4940.0, Jan 16 at 0407, open carrier of dead air at S9+. Thought
it might be YHWH but he`s active on 5792. A VOA S?o Tom? frequency but
scheduled only briefly at 2030-2100. VOA is audible now on 4930 Botswana in
English, S9+10, and a weaker 4960 carrier from algo, where VOA STP is also
scheduled. They have 5 x 100 kW SW transmitters at Pinheira.
Let us dismiss the long-gone 4940 Per? and Venezuela stations which remain in
Aoki; altho WRTH 2017 still has R. San Antonio, Per? as irregular. DSWCI
Tropical Bands Monitor does not show any activity from either LA, any month in
2016y; on 4940, only VOA STP, and V of Strait, China, where it`s noon (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Subject: [HCDX] Radio Thailand 13745kHz & Voice of Vietnam 7135kHz
Message-ID:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
These are two of my favorite Shortwave stations/programs. I enjoy cultural
stuff, wether I listen passively or attentively. Plus, I can hear either
one pretty much anytime I tune in.
Conditions have to be beyond horrible, the worst all year for me to NOT be
able to hear Radio Thailand's 13745 khz broadcast to North America at
0000UTC. When conditions are good, the 13745 signal is rock solid and when
they are excellent, 13745 is like a traditional local AM signal would be.
I can even hear Radio Thailand's 9390khz 1900UTC broadcast to Europe, but
it takes pretty good conditions for that to be listenable. I sometimes
wonder if, when conditions are bad, am I the only one listening/able to
hear 13745??!!
*Voice of Vietnam 7315khz*
This is their full half hour 0100UTC Broadcast in english on January 15th
via Cypress Creek, South Carolina.
The broadcast starts with the interval tune and a review of the upcoming
program, including a special report and talk of the weekend music session
show. News headlines are read by a female then a man reads the news in
detail and he later reads Vietnamese major news developments.
At about 0122, a segment starts up with the female announcer talking about
Vietnamese songs that are about the Vietnam country side.
SINPO Rating: 45344. Overall, pretty darn good with just a bit of
atmospheric noise and light fading. The speech was a little hard to hear
over the noise and fading.Music really punches through and is very clear.
Here's the full 28 minute broadcastfrom the date and time noted above:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V81V9-rI5jM
*Radio Thailand 13745khz*
This is the 0000UTC January 14th broadcast in English to North America.
The male voice introduces the service then the station song/interval tune
plays. A voice introduces the news, a quick sponsor mention then the
anchors introduce themselves and begin reading the news.
News stories include His Majesty The King Concerned with those suffering
from flood conditions, a story from Chinese State Media about the
government being blocked form certain islands (I think that was the story?).
Bangkok Airlines ad then plays, they are a regular sponsor. Time check of
7:02AM then given and National news headlines are read., There's a story on
Joint Command Center for Peace and Order Around The Grand Palace removing
cooking tents after the 100th day of His Majesty's passing.
Global news starts at just before 0013UTC with headlines including Chinese
State Media warning that blocking it from islands it has built in contested
waters would lead to a devastating confrontation.
Other global news headlines included Indonesian police have released 8 men
who were deported from Singapore for possessing Islamic State material.
>From UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon has returned to South Korea and
hinted he would possibly run for President.
Several promos and mentions during the events about things going on in
Thailand.
I enjoy hearing world news from a different point of view.
Just after 0057UTC, the anchors come back on to close out the broadcast and
invite folks to tune in again and listen for hourly updates.
An announcement then plays voiced by a male talking about 10 islands
nations working together for trade and economic reasons, the SE Asia
region.
There's a bit of dead air before what sounds like a traditional Thai song
plays. The carrier drops at 00:59:30UTC and is off for about 30 seconds
before coming back for the Thai language service.
I love the Bells and music that play leading into the Thai language
service. However, a vocieover incorrectly identifies the service as being
the english language service.
SINPO Rating: 55455. Only the ever slighest bit of fading and noise at
times, but hardly there.
Here's the full hour long english broadcast:
