** ALBANIA [non]. 9395, UT Sunday July 29 at 0230, relay of R. Tirana is still
AWOL; after WRMI ID, immediately goes to World Music fill, that familiar but
unidentified Alpine(?) tune. I have still not received a reply from Christian
Milling of shortwaveservice in Germany who 7 months ago fixed the same problem,
since Tirana had changed its audio URL without notice (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5990, July 29 at 0107, S9+45 of dead air, obviously CRI relay failing
to turn off by 0100; stronger even than neighbor 6000 RHC itself, a mere
S9+30/35. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. CRI registers 5990 with HFCC
as 23-01, 250 kW, 0 degrees = non-direxional? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6100, July 29 at 0557, JBA carrier, presumably RHC really ailing, as
nothing else is scheduled here in HFCC --- except imaginary 24-hour broadcasts:
5 kW Irkutsk, Russia; and 10 kW Hwa, KBS Korea South. Contrarily, Aoki/NDXC
says it`s KCBS Pyongyang, NORTH Korea; but neither would propagate this early.
Other RHC English frequencies with music are normal levels, 6165 and 6000, far
better modulated on 6060. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE. 9790, July 29 at 0548, S5-S7 of big hum/buzz, atop trace of talk in
unknown language. I bet it`s TDF Issoudun --- yes, HFCC has 500 kW RFI here in
French at 04-05 to 140 degrees, 05-06 at 165 degrees, and 06-07 at 200 degrees
(BTW, the first hour collides with CRI via Cuba in Cantonese!). How can MBR/TDF
allow this totally dysfunxional transmitter to remain in use for months and
months? Also affecting various other frequencies and transmissions thruout the
day. No one notices and/or cares (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 7255-, July 29 at 0610, VON is AWOL again like 24 hours earlier.
This also applies to other dayparts, as Richard Langley, NB reported to the WOR
iog on July 27:
``Voice of Nigeria had trouble keeping the transmitter on 7255 kHz on the air
today in AM mode. But then, at 1853 UT, a strong DRM signal came up on the
frequency. Was this VoN or CRI testing? The DRM signal went off at about 1859.5
and immediately a strong carrier could be seen on the frequency and then the
CRI IS began in advance of the usual Turkish broadcast in AM mode at 1900. As
soon as the DRM signal appeared on 7255 kHz, I checked 15120 kHz and there was
no signal there. All of this using the U. Twente SDR receiver``
And on July 13: ``As monitored using the U. Twente SDR receiver,
Voice of Nigeria's English broadcast on 7255 kHz (measured as 7254.931
kHz) beginning at 1800 UT had problems staying on the air. Off between
1807 and 1817 and between 1825 and 1851 UT. There was also co-channel
QRM from (presumably) PBS Xizang until 1805 and it was completely
obliterated once CRI's carrier came on a couple of minutes before 1900
for the broadcast in Turkish. When it was audible, Voice of Nigeria's
signal was only so-so and it was difficult to make out the accented
English at times``
Alan Roe, Teddington UK, reported 25 July: ``V of Nigeria heard back on air on
15120 in DRM mode with their English programme from 1820 tune-in on 25 July.
SNR of 18+dB and good lock. They have been missing on this frequency for some
time.``
Langley replied to that: ``Presumably parallel to 7255 kHz in AM mode. I have
7255 kHz recorded using the U. Twente SDR receiver with a fair signal but with
a lot of QRN initially from, I imagine, local thunderstorms`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9330v WBCQ // 7570 WRMI, July 29 at 0048, Brother
HyStairical with same severely degraded audio feed, strange ringing sounds
making his horrible voice even more unlistenable.
This correlates with Kenneth Vito Zichi`s comment in the Michigan ARE Tipsheet,
for 9330.1-AM, WBCQ, at 0249-0300 23/July: ``This was REALLY poor audio -- it
sounded like he was using string and a tin can, or a REALLY poor telephone
audio at most. Most of the audio was between 0-1500 Hz. Odd`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1940 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday July 29
at 0343 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Missouri, about 13 minutes into show so started
late circa 0330. Good signal but hard to copy vs heavy storm noise level
approaching us from the NW. Next:
Sun 2330 WBCQ 9330v to WSW [maybe]
Mon 0130.5 WRMI 5850 to NW, 7780 to NE
Mon 0300v WBCQ 5130v Area 51 to WSW
Mon 0330 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Mon 0400 WRMI webcast only, non-direxional
Mon 2330 WBCQ 9330v to WSW [maybe]
Tue 0030 WRMI 7730 to WNW
Tue 2030 WRMI 7780 to NE, 5950 to WNW [or #1941?]
Tue 2130 WRMI 5950 to WNW [or #1941?]
Full schedule for WOR on all outlets, not just SW; podcast linx:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11580, July 28 at 2133, WRMI Saturday-only activation with `SW
Radiogram` beepery. The current webpage http://swradiogram.net/ for July 27-30
still does not include this airing on its own schedule, nor do I see any
mention of anyone having heard/seen it last week, as I first reported.
Unfortunately, I missed checking what was on during the first semihour from
2100; another DX program?? Did anyone hear it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 5130.12, July 29 at 0057, WBCQ is too weak to listen to, other than
measure the JBA carrier here, rather than circa 5129.83. Sometimes it`s 5130
plus, but usually 5130 minus. So are there two different transmitters, or one
sometimes tuned up, sometimes down? I don`t find it varying in between (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15809.9, July 29 at 0052, WTWW-3 is S6 and the OSOB with SFAW // 9475
WTWW-1, rather than // 5085 WTWW-2 with music.
5085, UT Sunday July 29 at 0103, WTWW-2 starting `Theatre Organ in the Ozarx`,
and not // 15810- this week. Sounds like a repeat with Bob Heil tribute to his
mentor Stan Kann --- as correctly spelt now tnx to research by Alan Roe; see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Kann --- with some of the same comments, but
I *think* different music is being played than last week.
5085, UT Sunday July 29 at 0556, VG WTWW-2 still with that odd weekly talkshow,
and a trace of a JBA carrier on 15809.9, maybe duplicating it if not SFAW. 0600
music fill; 0605 Dave Fluee says Stan[ton] Friedman is staying for another
hour, apparently about UFOs, ``here on Southern Talk in the Midnight``; 0607
really resuming, mentioning three stations: KYIH?, KCAA and WTWW. Own website,
really
http://www.tennhills-productions.com/
says new affiliate is KYAH, 540 in Utah. NRC AM Log shows it`s in Delta, 1000
day, 13 watts night, as ``Truth Radio`` and ``Yah Radio`` with addresses in
Kanosh 84637, and Portsmouth RI! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 4840, UT Sunday July 29 after 0100, WWCR is still running `The
Talking Machine Show` now judging from lo-fi ancient music recording, after
having deleted it from Saturday 1700 on 12160. 3215, another WWCR is also still
playing `Martha Garvin`s Musical Memories` at very same time; to compete with
The Mighty KBC, 9925, but not a single 43 mb pirate to be heard this Saturday
evening (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9265, July 29 at 1328, WINB on early Sundays, music but carrier is
heavily wobbling, obvious with BFO, not so obvious in AM tuning; someone, kick
the transmitter? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
