Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
** ANGUILLA. 6090, May 18 at 0554, Caribbean Beacon is off! Has this terrible
transmitter finally joined Dead Gene in the grave? NO, 11775 is still on the
air at 1223 check, S9+10 radiating constant unusable suptorted modulation. I`ve
heard from listeners who have tried to get thru to PMS that she has a problem,
without success (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA [non]. Expanded relays: see USA: WRMI
** KOREA SOUTH [and non]. 6135, May 18 at 1224, noise and rapid tone jamming,
trace of program under, from Voice of Freedom. Ivo Ivanov and Ron Howard report
that VOF has registered two alternate frequencies, 6020 and 5920, where it has
been testing sporadically, but neither heard at this moment (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH. 5995.029, May 18 at 1219, what`s this before RNZI comes up at
1259? Slightly off frequency, poor signal in non-English talk. The answer is
already in from Ron Howard:
``new frequencies 5995 (ex 6003) // 6350 (ex 6348), Echo of Hope - VOH, 1000
UTC, May 18. In Korean; fairly clear; usual "V O H" ID; news (item about
"Tokyo," etc.). Thanks go to Hiroyuki Komatsubara and Aoki for the alert. My
audio at
http://goo.gl/KkvWku
(Ron Howard, oceanside at Pacific Grove, CA, Et?n E1, antenna: 100'
long wire, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST)``
Latest Aoki of May 18 already has it on 5995 effective today. They`d better be
done in time for NZ --- hardly: previous Aoki showed the 6003 hours as
0555-2400, plus NK jamming during all of it, even starting at 0255. The
jamming, mainly, had been a fixture on 6003 for many years. RNZI won`t hesitate
to change frequency without notice if necessary, and it probably will be, altho
later after 1300 today it is dominant here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NEWFOUNDLAND. 6159.960, May 18 at 0548, CKZN almost readable at S8 vs storm
crashes, story about Hollywood, which a few minutes later in outro turns out to
be within `The World` from WGBH and PRI, which we hear in the afternoons on
KOSU. Tnx to CBC for putting this on SW unlike any American station! Now how
about raising power to 100 kW?
CKZN is always off-frequency to the lo side, obvious in 1 kHz step tuning with
BFO on the R75. I keep seeing reports from others as ``6160.00`` which is NOT
correct. Such accuracy should not be claimed unless really measured. No one
would object if reported merely as ``6160`` without the decimals. My own
measurements may be plus/minus 2 Hz, so ``6159.96`` would bypass even that
uncertainty (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 7425, May 18 at 1220, RNZI is obliterated by a blob from a
local device, as it is self-weakened on NNW antenna during this bihour; checked
here after hearing something else on 5995: this entry serving as a
cross-reference to KOREA SOUTH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, May 16 at 2330, no signal detectable from R. Chaski. Alfredo
Ca?ote, Lima, says this is the new sign-off time ex-0100v*. A sesquihour
earlier in our summer means it will be even more difficult here, to determine
whether the same ~6.7 second recession per diem in autocutoff times now applies
circa 2330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES [non]. 9900, Thu May 18 at 1233, English ID as ``TWR
Philippines``, twrphilippines.com, S6 signal and hymn. Of course, it`s really
KTWR GUAM transmitter. Aoki shows strange schedule as M-F 1219-1240 in English
at 285 degrees. (On Sundays only at 1216-1245, Japanese Friendship Radio hour
at 345 degrees). Cited website asserts `` With almost 14 years in existence,
TWR Philippines has become competent in programming. We boast in this in
Christ. . .`` But Program page is only in Tagalog (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1877 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday May 16 at
2130 on WRMI 9455 to WNW, much stronger than // 15770 to NE. Also confirmed Tue
May 16 at 2330 on WBCQ, 9330.30v-CUSB, fair. Also confirmed Wednesday May 17 at
1315.5 on WRMI, 9955, S9. Also confirmed Wed May 17 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490v-AM,
poor in summer noise level but loud & clear on webcast. Also confirmed Wed May
17 at 2330 on WBCQ 9330.02v-CUSB, good.
WORLD OF RADIO 1878 ready for first airings May 18:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7730 // 5850, May 17 at 0602-0632, I listen to the `World Music` on
WRMI as I am dozing off, and do hear some of the familiar tunes such as the
song in German, and some African music, contrary to my lament that the WM
content had changed completely. Also, the WRMI skedgrid now labels 0700-0800 UT
Tue/Wed/Thu on both frequencies as `World Music` -- but that will soon change
along with much other WRMI programming. Also on 11580 after 1400 UT May 17 I
hear some more familiar WM tunes, mixed in with unfamiliar ones including
gospel songs. So this hour not shown in the skeds, continues with WM.
No word from WRMI itself yet, but Adri?n Korol, Director of RAE Argentina to
the World, has notified us that much expanded ``experimental`` relays of all
languages via WRMI will start phasing in the week of May 22. Great news for
RAE, WRMI and the SWL community; but this amounts to 60 transmitter-hours per
week, necessarily knocking off much current WRMI programming, including some
WORLD OF RADIO airings. The RAE ATTW sked will be:
Mon-Fri:
11-12 9955 Portuguese
13-14 11580 French
21-22 11580 German
22-23 11580 Italian
22-23 5950 Spanish
Tue-Sat:
00-01 7730 Spanish
01-02 9395 English
06-07 7730 Japanese
07-08 5850 & 7730 English
08-09 5850 Chinese
09-10 5850 Japanese
[some of these may also be on 9455, if the previous // timings stick]
He says however, the French service is currently only half an hour, and plans
are to start a new Quechua service to fill the other half. However, 1330 UT on
11580 to Europe would not be appropriate for that; rather, Quechua should be
sometime on 9955 toward South America. He also says that the additional
broadcasts in English and Spanish will have updated news bulletins.
All this will greatly impact numerous DX and other programs, even relays of
other stations, such as Slovakia in English which has been at 2100 on 11580
(and still confirmed on May 17).
WORLD OF RADIO loses its airings on 7730, Tue at 0030; on 9955, Tue at 1100; on
11580, Tue at 1300 (which just started); on 11580, Thu at 2130, in addition to
already lost Fri at 2230. Even these may be in jeopardy, in case
higher-priority programming bumped by RAE has to find new times (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775v, May 17 at 1900, KVOH is running late, which is not unusual,
with hymns in Spanish, Onward Christian Soldiers (hey, LeSEA owns that! hi),
and Wonderful Words of Life, which is rudely chopped off the air at 1906*.
Before that I note that the carrier again has a pronounced wobble when
monitored with BFO.
The annual NASB meeting is just getting underway, sponsored by KVOH, including
visits to the studio and transmitter site:
http://www.shortwave.org/index.php/annual-meeting-info/
DXLD/WOR contributors Ben Dawson and John Figliozzi are there, so we hope for
reports about it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1480, May 18 at 1200 UT, my DX-398 AM sexion is still tuned to 1480
from yesterday morning, so I turn on KBXD again; in Spanish with slogan ``Est?s
en sinton?a de [algo] Esperanza``, then English almost-legal canned ID thrice,
``KBXD 1480 Dallas``. Then ad mentioning ``Radio Setecientos A-M`` for KHSE 700
which is now being duplicated on 1480. Then Esperanza slogan or program name
again, later preaching. (Both Wikipedia and Radio-Locator have way outdated
info on KHSE as ``FunAsia``). KHSE is attributed to Hammond Broadcasting, but
not KBXD, yet John Hammond was the one calling for ``renters`` of 1480 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1500, May 18 at 1208 UT, KJIM Sherman TX is dominant over KSTP and/or
OK`s KPGM, with `Osgood File` after CBS News. Charles` aging voice is evident,
but he`s still ``seeing us`` on the radio, no longer on TV`s Sunday Morning,
outro referring to his social media activity. 1211 local announcer ID as K-Jim,
and also K267CB on 103.1, I wrote and thought he said, but really on 101.3;
Then plays NWS robot with some hum, forecasts for several days ahead, mostly
showers and T-storms (like Enid, high risk of tornados May 18). ``America`s
best music, the memory-maker, AM 1500, K-jim``. Still a small local station
with a distinctive format (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6833.0, May 18 at 0545, open carrier at S9-S6, pirate or ute?
BTW, I have yet to hear anything on 6855, since WRMI was forced to evacuate it
for 9455 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7712.0+, May 18 at 0542, very poor carrier, slightly on the hi
side, maybe JBM, but not enough to tell whether it`s Station YHWH as suspected.
Earlier this night he was reported on 7585 again, but off now (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9700, May 18 at 1237, something here in Chinese, weak. Nothing
listed in latest Aoki of May 18, nor any excuse for ChiCom jamming. Nor EiBi
nor HFCC of May 4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
