I hear that my last couple of reports got multiplied into up to a dozen copies some people received. Assuredly I sent out only one each, as usual, but yahoo thinx that`s not enough. Please don`t blame me. I myself received back no more than three from the DXLD yg.
** CUBA. 5025, Jan 12 at 0700, R. Rebelde is just barely modulated, their jingle cutting thru better than anything. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 15500-15510, 15432-15443, Jan 12 at 1424, forget SSB or AM, I start tuning RHC-FM and find I get a clear Spanish signal anywhere across these wide frequency ranges, almost as if AFC were engaged, only problem being a continuous whine; much better than the extremely distorted filthy blobs when tuned in AM. More of the same emanating from 15370 transmitter circa 15303, 15235, 15033 vs CHR, 14899. When someone else logged these including on 15230, he concluded intentional 15230 and 15370 were mixing to produce the others, but NOT in this case. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 15700, Jan 12 at 1422, CRI English relay fails to land on the wrong frequency today, 15400, like yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KIRITIMATI. 846, Jan 12 at 0648, JBA but steady carrier from presumed R. Kiribati (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGSET) ** ROMANIA [and non]. 7345.00, Jan 12 at 0654, RRI English is back on-frequency, clashing equally with BBCWS English via Ascension; after having shifted to 7345.500 last night; whew, but with open frequencies all over the place, there is no need whatsoever for these two to collide (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1912 monitoring: confirmed this week`s first SW broadcast, Thursday January 11 at 2230.5 on WRMI, 5850; good with some fading. For once, I decide to listen to the whole thing; how will it go? Modulation OK except briefly at 2244-2245 some slight distortion, presumably a transmission problem. Signal is not so strong that all editing glitches can be heard. The guy sounds a bit better than usual, less of a ``monotone``. Probably because his larynx has been ``improved`` by phlegm. NOT confirmed UT Fri Jan 12 at 0030 on 9330v-CUSB, again no signal detectable from WBCQ. Next: Sat 0030 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW Sat 0729 HLR 6190-CUSB to WSW Sat 1531 HLR 6190-CUSB to WSW Sat 2030v WA0RCR 1860-AM ND Sat 2230 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW Sat 2300 WRMI 7780 to NE Sun 0200 WRMI 7780 to NE Sun 0410v WA0RCR 1860-AM ND Sun 1130 HLR 9485-CUSB to WSW Mon 0030 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW Mon 0400v WBCQ 5130v Area 51 to WSW Mon 0430 WRMI 9955 to SSE, 9455 to WNW Tue 0030 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW Tue 0030 WRMI 7730 to WNW Tue 2030 WRMI 7780 to NE, 9455 to WNW [or #1913?] Tue 2130 WRMI 9455 to WNW [or #1913?] Wed 0030 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW Wed 1030 WRMI 5850 to NW [or #1913?] Full WOR schedule via all media, podcast access: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9395 // 9455, Jan 12 at 0651, WRMI Oldies channels ending 5-minute VOA news relay which must have started at 0646 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 840, Jan 12 at 1400 UT, KTIC ID with temp minus 4, and ``Classic Country 98.3`` with translator call I don`t copy; NRC AM Log had it as K252EG West Point NE and slogan as ``Rural Radio``. The latter applies to a bunch of Nebraska stations including KRVN 880 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1210, Jan 12 at 1405 UT, Huron ads following ABC News, i.e. KOKK in SD; temps -5 F, windchill -24. Over KGYN OK easily nulled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1710 kHz, Jan 12 at 0706 UT, soft strumming guitar music, some pirate other than Bâton Rouge LA? 0710 UT announcement sounds like Spanish, and I hear a ``siete`` mentioned, perhaps referring to their FM frequency (not really busted and off?). By 0718 UT voice changes to something more strident, which would be the usual gospel huxter from Radio Retén lo que Tienes. Certainly holding on to what they`ve got, legal or not (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1606 UT January 12 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
