** ANGUILLA. 11775, Dec 6 at 2035 check, no signal from PMS or DGS on TUN via
CB. But at 2041 recheck, PMS is on at S9+10/20. I force myself to keep
listening to this know-it-all, and sure `nuff, cuts off abruptly again at
2045:50*; 2102 recheck, back on again. And so it goes. Seems they have a lot
more trouble keeping this frequency going than 6090 at night, which continues
to be on whenever checked. So are these now really from the un-destroyed
Anguilla station? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BIAFRA [non]. 11530, Dec 6 at 1942 check, no signal from WRMI with R.
Biafra. 11530, Dec 7 at 0553 check, Qur`anish music in World Music fill, but VP
S2-S3. I need to check earlier in each hour in case RB is still on in the first
half (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 333 kHz, Dec 7 at 0708 UT, beacon QE and dash, but not listed. Must
really be QT, in Thunder Bay, Ontario, dah instead of a dit.
341 kHz, Dec 7 at 0710 UT, beacon YYU, no dash, mixing at different pitch, so
not exactly same frequency as my local on 341, EI Enid. YYU is in Kapuskasing,
Ont., also per http://www.dxinfocentre.com/ndb.htm
That`s neat; I was not expecting anything so exotic on a rare foray into the LW
NDB area. Kapuskasing was also the location of a hot analog TVDX target years
ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 6180, Dec 7 at 1525, Firedragon jamming mixing with
Chinese, averaging S9 combined, i.e. RTI in Chinese as scheduled from TAIWAN at
10-16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COLOMBIA. 5910.416, Dec 7 at 0739, finally a signal again from Alcarav?n
Radio, unheard for some weeks at early or late evening chex. weak S7-S8 song
and audibly varying slightly as I listen; and even further off-frequency (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15370, Dec 6 at 2048, RHC French is JBM, while English on 15140 is VG
S9+30/20 and somewhat overmodulated. Retuning to 15370 shortly, the modulation
has been turned up. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 11930 // 9565, Wed Dec 6 at 2106, `Contacto Cuba` is the
Radio Mart? program now vs jamming in the unceasing effort to prevent contact.
Still have not found a third daytime frequency on anyband, besides new 7355
starting at 2300 and again until 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 9719.991, Dec 7 at 1420 big hum with some modulation. Again
it`s DW in Pashto via UAE until 1430, off at 1442 recheck leaving a JBA carrier
from algo, listed IBB in Khmer via Tinian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 9855, Dec 6 at 2048, good S9+20 in French; not VOA. Soon
mentions ``samurai`` and voice-overs some Japanese, clues: yes, NHK at
2030-2100, 250 kW, 310 degrees via MADAGASCAR, making it an outstanding signal
on this band. Would that NHK could be heard as well intentionally in English to
North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KIRIBATI. 846 kHz, Dec 7 at 0543, JBA carrier definitely here and very close
to 846.00. Huge splash from both sides, WHAS and KOA. Also IBOC noise circa 843
from WCCO makes it better to listen on USB despite that being 1 kHz closer to
KOA than WHAS.
Some fade-outs like 0603, and back up, again at 0701 check, but I don`t expect
it to rise enough for any modulation here. I`m getting it both on the R75 with
E-W longwire, and the NRD-545 with ALA-330S loop E-W, not on the DX-398
internal.
This has got to be the reactivated R. Kiribati. Several years ago it closed
this frequency and moved to 1440 from Bairiki. New 846 was first reported as an
unID by Nick Hall-Patch, Victoria BC, Nov 30 at 0500-0535, and then heard by
others on the west coast, including Walt Salmaniw also in Victoria as early as
0330.
Ace DXer Bryan Clark in New Zealand did some research and found out that this
frequency now is coming from a different part of Kiribati, in fact, Christmas
Island = Kiritimati! This news Dec 6 in the DXLD yg quickly spread to North
American MW DX groups:
``Appropriately as we approach the Christmas season, we learn that the
reactivated transmissions of Radio Kiribati on 846 AM are in fact coming from a
new location - London Village on Christmas Island, providing coverage of the
Line and Phoenix Group, including Kanton Island. Long time DXers will recall
the last radio station on Canton Island - WXLE on 1385 AM. See attached from
the Radio Kiribati Facebook page. Thanks to Theo Donnelly for encouraging me to
do some sleuthing on this one! --- Bryan Clark`` See

BPA COMMISSIONS NEW AM TRANSMITTER FOR LINE AND PHOENIX GROUP
TARAWA, November 24, 2017 (RADIO KIRIBATI) --- I-Kiribati living in the remote
Line and Phoenix Islands can now for the first time listen clearly to Radio
Kiribati broadcast from the Broadcasting and Publications Authority?s (BPA)
main studio in London, Christmas Island following the installation of a new AM
transmitter.
The newly installed transmitter was commissioned on Saturday, 25 November 2017
in London village.
BPA Board Vice Chairman Betarim Rimon said the launching was covered live on
Radio Kiribati and was heard in the Kiribati islands (Gilbert Group) through
AM1440 khz and in the Line and Phoenix Islands through the newly installed
AM846 khz in London.
Mr Rimon said the people of Kanton (Canton), the only inhabited island in the
Phoenix Islands Protected Area (PIPA) can now tune and listen clearly to the
broadcast from Christmas Island, a barrier in radio communications which has
plagued and isolated the island from the rest of the islands in the country for
many years.
"The people of Kanton can now tune to this service as it will sufficiently
cover the rest of PIPA. You are now no longer far but drawn closer to the rest
of the nation and the world in terms of news updates and radio service," said
Mr Rimon?.RK News

Longitude is 157-29 WEST, i.e. in the western hemisphere, yet the dateline was
moved east of there, and the timezone advanced to UT +14 which would be the
same at UT -10 on the day before as in Hawaii, Tahiti.
Just as Kiribati is pronounced kiri-bas, the TI`s in Kiritimati are equivalent
to S, so it comes out sounding a lot more like Ch-ristmas. Current sunset there
is 0421 UT, and varies little at less than 2 degrees north of the Equator. It`s
not clear when 846 sign off, but 1440 was listed as 0500-1000 for their evening
broadcast.
So far on the IRCA and NRC lists I don`t see any reports of direct reception of
846 beyond the west coast, except for Alberta.
Before 0600 I also check 558 for Fiji, 1098 for Marshalls, but probably too
early for them (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 6085, Dec 7 at 1355, JSR JAPAN, the Sea Breeze earnest YL

Auckland. Issue is safety, as reduxions to one driver per train are going into

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7780 // 9455 // 11580, Wed Dec 6 at 2050, WRMI with sermon before an
audience, sounds like Bob Biermann pushing it a bit more than usual, i.e. `Your
Weekend [sic] Show`, which is still not shown on WRMI skedgrid for 7780. YWS is
listed for 11580-only, Wed at 20-21, but for longtime has also been // 9455
during this hour only. 7780 joins them at 2030 on some days, opting away from
Brother Scare, when there is a half-hour program, but apparently at 2000 when
there is a one-hour program like Wed (and also Thu for VORW).
Here`s what`s really happening during the following hour, contrary to schedule:
9455 only is carrying the ``15770`` program, `FG Radio` with their ``Travel
Gazette`` repeated over and over from last April. (I have finally written
directly to the program about this.) Contact info is on page 464 of WRTH 2017,
where FG Radio somehow qualified as the #1 international broadcaster from
Cyprus. I can`t wait to see what 2018 has about it.
9395 // 7780 at 2108 check are in `The Power Hour``. 11580 at 2103 is as usual
in German from RAE Argentina (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, Wed Dec 6 at 2035, KVOH is *on*, VG S9+20/30 with
musicalabanza in Spanish; no spurs audible, still past 2103. Checking because
we got this notice Tue Dec 5 at 1919 UT from Ray Robinson at KVOH:
``KVOH (17775 kHz) Off Air --- We have a high wind event here in Southern
California today, with several large brush fires. At the KVOH transmitter site
on Chatsworth Peak, sustained winds are now at 60 miles per hour with gusts to
over 90. The microwave link between our studios and the transmitter site is
unstable because the winds are blowing the microwave dishes off beam, and the
power is very unstable too (there are currently about half a million people in
Ventura County without power at all). Looking at the weather forecast, we may
be off tomorrow also, but hopefully back by Thursday --- Ray Robinson,
Strategic Communications Group / Voice of Hope, Americas / Africa / Middle
East, http://www.voiceofhope.com`` [via WORLD OF RADIO 1907]
So they were able to get back by Wednesday afternoon. Apparently KVOH
facilities not threatened by the wildfires themselves. 17775 also audible as
JBA carrier Thu Dec 7 at 1504, 1524 chex.
Meanwhile, I have also heard from a ham in TX who has been experiencing white
noise from KVOH extending even above 18068 kHz into the hamband, and had been
discussing it with KVOH. He got this reply from John Tayloe in October:
``Glenn Houser mentioned this a few days ago. We made some changes to our audio
chain as we suspect this is where the problem was. We are really interested in
solving this. It?s not showing up on our test equipment and we are [asking] a
few of our friends who listen outside of California to monitor and give
feedback. John Tayloe, (805) 338-0075``
K5WLT wrote later: ``Things were great (no hash in 17 m amateur band) for about
a month. Then around Nov 20 somewhere it came back, and I sent the following:
On 11-20-17 at 1500 UT I found that your problem with spurs had returned. White
noise hash up into the 18 MHz amateur band, and your modulation on 17775 was
badly distorted and splattering. Again upon sign-off on that frequency all
spurious emissions ceased. This problem surely should be evident on a spectrum
analyzer at your transmitter site. Hopefully you will find the cause and a
final fix be in place soon. Ronnie V. Miller - K5WLT`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
