** CANADA. 15034-USB, May 5 at 1324, Trenton Military with `no report received`` over and over from Winnipeg, Calgary, Cold Lake, Edmonton; and at 1325 NRR from Comox, Victoria, Vancouver, Abbotsford. The automaton doesn`t seem to care, but drones on endlessly. One suspects the problem is at Trenton, not all these other air terminals (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 11460, May 5 at 1424, S2-S3 but clear Western classical music, obviously CNR1 jammer and // another on 11785. Aoki/NDXC shows 11460 one of countless Sound of Hope, Miaoli, Taiwan frequencies with jamming. My quick survey of WOOB areas from 10 to 15 MHz finds no others now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 6000, May 5 at 0557, RHC English is S9+20 but suptorted, unlike 6060, 6100, 6165 all better modulation, with produxion credits, plugging Sunday programs, and reopening Saturday show a bit before 0600. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [non]. 11860, Sat May 4 at 1754, Radio Martà reconfirmed now active weekends too on this frequency; atop jamming about same as 11930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [non]. 5980, UT Sun May 5 at 0004, no signal from TV MartÃ, and no jamming either, so this new 22-03 UT broadcast remains M-F/Tue -Sat only. There is however a JBA carrier, presumably RRI Romanian, which also moved here, in clear at least on UT Sun & Mon (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENINIG DIGEST) ** GUATEMALA. 4055, UT Sunday May 5 at 0544, TGAV is off already rather than usual ~0610v* except earlier circa 0400 UT Mondays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MALI. 11640 & 13630, May 4 at 2103, no signals from CRI English relay, unlike the past few days one and or both audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. Awake briefly after 1100 UT May 3, checked for pre-sunrise Mexicans on lowband MW, but nothing to be heard unlike yesterday on 570 & 590, and many more on April 29, 26. How drastically conditions may change (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 6185, May 4 at 2114, VP S5 signal, JBM at best. Must be XEPPM, which apparently leaves at least carrier on all day. This early, little else detectable on 49m besides 6070, 5830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9925, UT Sunday May 5 at 0004, JBA carrier from presumed Mighty Farty KBC back on reactivated summer frequency via GERMANY, instead of 5960 which is vacant. That probably would have still propagated better, but confronted storm noise level. Maybe something on 7 MHz band would be better in the `shoulder-season` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, May 5 at 1615 UT, K17JN-D, Enid DTV 3ABN satellator is OFF the air, all six subchannels; sometime, unlogged May 4 I noticed it was back after dead-air black-screens but plenty signal on May 3. Now slight tropo enhancement brings Bad signals on RF 42 and RF 18. 42 is surely KBZC-LD OKC, but 18? Could be repack CP channel for KOPX OKC but it`s still going on RF 50, both in W9WI.com as 200 kW. There are 5 RF 18 translators elsewhere in OK, none likely here (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SPAIN [and non]. 11670, May 4 at 2105, REE poorly audible on its weakest frequency due to azimuth, but no RHC clash yet which could be starting at 2100? No, one RHC schedule shows not until *2300 for Rio de Janeiro. That is when REE closes 11670 at 2300* M-F; however they usually stay on for several more minutes of IS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1980 monitoring: confirmed Saturday May 4 at 2100 on WRMI 9955: *2059 just in time with partial IS & ID loop, but upcut opening of WOR after my first ten words; fair S8-S9. Also confirmed on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, UT Sunday May 5 at 0329 about 17 minutes into so started circa 0312; S9+10 vs S9+20 staticrashes. Next: 2130 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to NE 0130 UT Monday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE 0300vUT Monday WBCQ 5130v Area 51 to WSW 0330 UT Monday WRMI 9955 to SSE 0930 UT Monday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW ND 1815 UT Monday IRRS 7290 Romania ND 0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE 0800 UT Tuesday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW [2 editions] ND 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE [it appears we will now be running on a Friday-to-Thursday cycle, so freshest new airings are on weekends] Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7490.00, May 4 at 1752, 2057, no trace of WBCQ-6 super- station test, unlike earlier at 1540 when I did have a weak open carrier. Meanwhile, 9330 remains always off-frequency from old transmitter with TOMBS, such as at 1752; 2058 measured on 9330.04. 7490.12, UT Sun May 5 at 0151, WBCQ with J. P. Ferraro`s `Shortwave Saturday Night`, averaging S9 discussing the Vietnam war. NOT on #6 but obviously still via old off-frequency transmitter. Earlier at 0004, some other show ``live`` as of ``April 3``, while 9330.1 and 5130+ were JBA carriers only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9265V, Saturday May 4 at 1730, WINB presumably with Unique Radio from Australia, Tim Gaynor`s `Sounds of Your Life`, on new schedule, but very poor and wobbly signal. OTOH, until 1729 I had local-quality excellent reception from 12160 WWCR with `The Talking Machine Show` of ancient cylinder music. Only an occasional slight selective fade tipped that this was SW. However, much of the time 12160 is not in solid, too close/too high (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 15825 & 13845, May 5 at 1322, WWCR gospel huxters are S9+10 with sporadic E boost; by 1424, 15825 down to JBA. But by 1605, DX map shows estimated Es MUF of 106 MHz with 6m contacts across the country (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5830, May 4 at 1750, WTWW-1 is S9 on night frequency, but JBM? 9475 is off; at 1836 still JBM 5830 when ham show should be on. By 2102, 5830 has resumed PPPP on SFA, still not on day frequency 9475 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5085, May 4 at 2330-2400 approx., WTWW-2 with `Theater Organ in the Ozarx` confined about to nominal slot; toward the end heard some of it on stereo webcast, which was running about 5 seconds *ahead* of SW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1130, May 4 at 2055 UT, KLEY Wellington KS is off the air again; first noted absent May 3 circa 2345 UT, much pre-sunset. Before then had not noticed any transmission problems (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 13660, Sunday May 5 at 1700-1710, no signal via UTwente SDR, altho HFCC has something brokered by RMI via ISS, FRANCE on days 1/3/5 = Sun/Tue/Thu. Ivo Ivanov assumes it`s clandestine. But presumably a mistake, as Jeff White says Alameda Bible Fellowship is running at 1700-1730 M/W/F (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 15571.2-USB, May 5 at 1320, VP 2-way in Spanish as I am making pro-forma check for 15575 KBS so-called North American service: not a trace of it; while CRI East Turkistan is poorly audible on 15590 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1917 UT May 5 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
