Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
** CANADA. 750, Oct 30 at 0642 UT, some FM station in Georgia is
easily nulled, at right angle a fast SAH and producing a song
``Innocence`` in its lyrix over and over; 0645 ``This is
Saskatchewan`s New Beach Radio, --- 80s to 90s`` or something like
that; i.e. CKJH Melfort, Sask., U4 25/25 kW, in recent format change.
There is certainly no coast anywhere near Melfort, but a number of
little lakes and the Saskatchewan River not far away (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 15034-USB, Oct 30 at 1735, ``no report received`` by
Trenton Military from Thule; but whew they got one from Zagreb (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 9630.00, Oct 29 at 2203, RHC in Spanish, undermod with hum,
NOT on usual 9640; // 9535. A mistake or hint of thing to come when
Arnie gets around to his B-19 changes? No het from Aparecida now, must
be off as Mission?ria, Brasil is JBA on 9665-. However, by 2359
recheck, RHC is back on VP 9640. Or a split schedule using both?
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5910, Oct 30 at 0432, CRI Cantonese relay is still suptorted
during music, yet S9+30. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15140, Oct 30 at 1734, S9+10 of dead air from RHC, while the
only //, 11760 is OK. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. 6125 // 7355 // 7435 // 6030, Oct 30 at 0009, OCB is //
on all, notably 6125 which is supposedly TV Mart? soundtrack; during a
silly ballgame which may be why. Still no jamming audible on the 7s,
but on vacated 7335, 5980 and heavy on 6030. Something`s always wrong
at the DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 13605, Oct 30 at 1402, jamming is still here on Day
4 of B-19, while Radio Mart? remains loud and clear on 13820.
Something`s always wrong at the DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9420, Oct 30 at 0002, VOG music is S6-S8 with Doppler
flutter, i.e. the frequency itself is unstably fluttering with BFO.
Must be a prop disturbance, but nonesuch reported by WWV
simultaneously on 3-hourly update: SF 69, K index 1, no storms past or
expected. Ditto at 0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 9890, Oct 29 at 2206, news in Japanese, good S9+10 so figure
it must be a new relay like Madagascar. No, HFCC shows NHK direct from
Yamata at 21-23, 300 kW aimed away at 235 degrees, bud directly off
the back would be good for us at 55 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11540, Oct 30 at 1421, VP/JBA music on the only
active frequency in the Kurdo-Turco sub-band, so presumably this is DK
and/or Turkey jammer.
11530, Oct 30 at 1728 suspicious open carrier of S6-S7 is the only
activity around here; if the Radio War has gone by now to 9525, only a
JBA carrier there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 1050, Oct 30 at 0631, C&W song in English. If it
were not for the language and the music I would assume it`s XEG, as
loops from Monterrey direxion vs lots of CCI around. 0633 back
announcement in -- Spanish, but now there is QRM from another station
playing C&W --- that likely be CJNB North Battleford, Sask, U2 10/10
kW with C&W format. Of course, almost all its signal supposed to go
northward at night. See also CANADA for next Sask log a few minutes
later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 6115, Oct 30 at 1403, RNZP confirmed here in news,
ex-6170 after 1259. So far so good: S9/+10, no CCI audible, and WWCR
has not overtaken it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 6020 & 7410, Oct 30 at 0433, NO signals from RRI as now
scheduled English hour to W North America; of course, odds are at
least one transmitter AWOL. Not much point in checking the much higher
//s to S Asia, 9820-DRM and 11790 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** THAILAND. 13750, Oct 30 at 0011, JBA carrier, so HSK9 presumed,
made the correct B-19 switch 3 days late for the useless North
American service direct in English, no longer a JBA carrier on 13745.
But today, *no* signal from RHC on 13740 which, if on, would be a
barrier to either HSK9 frequency. You never know whether this one will
be active or not. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 5960, Oct 29 at 2350, VOT has succeeded in transmitting on
the third day of B-19 unlike the second, Turkish rock music near end
of 2300 broadcast; recheck at 2353 it`s off already, hardly enough
time for a formal closing with headlines. So no German extra today.
6125, Oct 30 at 0432, VOT music is poor, S4-S9 with flutter, as they
attempt to continue broadcasting English to western North America. It
would be nice if OCB Grimesland would turn off 6125 a few minutes
before 0400 for us to hear VOT IS, but we`ll be lucky if they close it
by 0401.
12035, Oct 30 at 1408, Turkish song at S5-S7 with flutter, as VOT 1330
English to Europe and USward improves a little; but last half of
hours are mostly music fill; try to tune in earlier for the meat
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11720, Oct 29 at 2155, VOA S9+20 with rock music. As
expected this new frequency eastward from Grimesland in English for
Africa is VG for us in the opposite direxion; one hour only from 2100
but on Fridays should include `Music Time in Africa`; instead of 15580
previous B-seasons which would not be nearly as good under prevailing
MUFs at this <2 megameter skip distance (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17655, Oct 30 at 1731, VOA in Portuguese Portuguese to
Africa, only fair S9-S7 --- now the only Grimesland frequency on this
band, no more English midday on 17530. PP is 1700-1800 daily, and also
until 1830 M-F. If SWLs in Brasil want to hear VOA, they must put up
with that accent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7490.1v, Tue Oct 29 at 2157, an `AAAWWW` playback is filling
this 21-22 `Available Time Slot` on S5-S7 WBCQ as he is talking
politically during the final e-mail segment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Final scheduled SW airings of WORLD OF RADIO 2005:
Wednesday Oct 30 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490.1v (last week started 20 seconds
late, not my typo 30)
UT Thursday Oct 31 at 0100 on WRMI 7780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9330.00, Oct 29 at 2200, WBCQ-6 is on after a long silent
period of over a week: the usual WLC Radio guys with very informal
chat designed to dupe younger listeners. Opening with a quiz, what do
these movies have in common, SF? It`s only S9+10/20 so could well be
on the 60 degree azimuth away from us. Nothing in last few days` twits
from AW that this would be testing again.
On Oct 30, Ivo Ivanov suggested they would be on 15330 in our
mornings:

At 0400, there are definitely two signals on 6015. The background signal had
the drums of Radio Tanzania Zanzibar, followed by it time pips and a female
anncr. With fading, sometimes RTZ is on top. I assume the foreground sig is
Radio Tamazuj. We'll see what's left of RTZ at 0430.

** CANADA. 750, Oct 30 at 0642 UT, some FM station in Georgia is
easily nulled, at right angle a fast SAH and producing a song
``Innocence`` in its lyrix over and over; 0645 ``This is
Saskatchewan`s New Beach Radio, --- 80s to 90s`` or something like
that; i.e. CKJH Melfort, Sask., U4 25/25 kW, in recent format change.
There is certainly no coast anywhere near Melfort, but a number of
little lakes and the Saskatchewan River not far away (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

be off as Mission?ria, Brasil is JBA on 9665-. However, by 2359
recheck, RHC is back on VP 9640. Or a split schedule using both?
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** CUBA. 5910, Oct 30 at 0432, CRI Cantonese relay is still suptorted
during music, yet S9+30. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn

OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

on all, notably 6125 which is supposedly TV Mart? soundtrack; during a
silly ballgame which may be why. Still no jamming audible on the 7s,
but on vacated 7335, 5980 and heavy on 6030. Something`s always wrong
at the DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 13605, Oct 30 at 1402, jamming is still here on Day
4 of B-19, while Radio Mart? remains loud and clear on 13820.
Something`s always wrong at the DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9420, Oct 30 at 0002, VOG music is S6-S8 with Doppler
flutter, i.e. the frequency itself is unstably fluttering with BFO.
Must be a prop disturbance, but nonesuch reported by WWV
simultaneously on 3-hourly update: SF 69, K index 1, no storms past or
expected. Ditto at 0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 9890, Oct 29 at 2206, news in Japanese, good S9+10 so figure
it must be a new relay like Madagascar. No, HFCC shows NHK direct from
Yamata at 21-23, 300 kW aimed away at 235 degrees, bud directly off
the back would be good for us at 55 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11540, Oct 30 at 1421, VP/JBA music on the only
active frequency in the Kurdo-Turco sub-band, so presumably this is DK
and/or Turkey jammer.
11530, Oct 30 at 1728 suspicious open carrier of S6-S7 is the only
activity around here; if the Radio War has gone by now to 9525, only a
JBA carrier there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 1050, Oct 30 at 0631, C&W song in English. If it
were not for the language and the music I would assume it`s XEG, as
loops from Monterrey direxion vs lots of CCI around. 0633 back
announcement in -- Spanish, but now there is QRM from another station
playing C&W --- that likely be CJNB North Battleford, Sask, U2 10/10
kW with C&W format. Of course, almost all its signal supposed to go
northward at night. See also CANADA for next Sask log a few minutes
later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 6115, Oct 30 at 1403, RNZP confirmed here in news,
ex-6170 after 1259. So far so good: S9/+10, no CCI audible, and WWCR
has not overtaken it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 6020 & 7410, Oct 30 at 0433, NO signals from RRI as now
scheduled English hour to W North America; of course, odds are at
least one transmitter AWOL. Not much point in checking the much higher
//s to S Asia, 9820-DRM and 11790 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** THAILAND. 13750, Oct 30 at 0011, JBA carrier, so HSK9 presumed,
made the correct B-19 switch 3 days late for the useless North
American service direct in English, no longer a JBA carrier on 13745.
But today, *no* signal from RHC on 13740 which, if on, would be a
barrier to either HSK9 frequency. You never know whether this one will
be active or not. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 5960, Oct 29 at 2350, VOT has succeeded in transmitting on
the third day of B-19 unlike the second, Turkish rock music near end
of 2300 broadcast; recheck at 2353 it`s off already, hardly enough
time for a formal closing with headlines. So no German extra today.
6125, Oct 30 at 0432, VOT music is poor, S4-S9 with flutter, as they
attempt to continue broadcasting English to western North America. It
would be nice if OCB Grimesland would turn off 6125 a few minutes
before 0400 for us to hear VOT IS, but we`ll be lucky if they close it
by 0401.
12035, Oct 30 at 1408, Turkish song at S5-S7 with flutter, as VOT 1330
English to Europe and USward improves a little; but last half of
hours are mostly music fill; try to tune in earlier for the meat
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11720, Oct 29 at 2155, VOA S9+20 with rock music. As
expected this new frequency eastward from Grimesland in English for
Africa is VG for us in the opposite direxion; one hour only from 2100
but on Fridays should include `Music Time in Africa`; instead of 15580
previous B-seasons which would not be nearly as good under prevailing
MUFs at this <2 megameter skip distance (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17655, Oct 30 at 1731, VOA in Portuguese Portuguese to
Africa, only fair S9-S7 --- now the only Grimesland frequency on this
band, no more English midday on 17530. PP is 1700-1800 daily, and also
until 1830 M-F. If SWLs in Brasil want to hear VOA, they must put up
with that accent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7490.1v, Tue Oct 29 at 2157, an `AAAWWW` playback is filling
this 21-22 `Available Time Slot` on S5-S7 WBCQ as he is talking
politically during the final e-mail segment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Final scheduled SW airings of WORLD OF RADIO 2005:
Wednesday Oct 30 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490.1v (last week started 20 seconds
late, not my typo 30)
UT Thursday Oct 31 at 0100 on WRMI 7780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9330.00, Oct 29 at 2200, WBCQ-6 is on after a long silent
period of over a week: the usual WLC Radio guys with very informal
chat designed to dupe younger listeners. Opening with a quiz, what do
these movies have in common, SF? It`s only S9+10/20 so could well be
on the 60 degree azimuth away from us. Nothing in last few days` twits
from AW that this would be testing again.
On Oct 30, Ivo Ivanov suggested they would be on 15330 in our
mornings:
``WBCQ-6 World's Last Chance Radio is [sic] on air October 30
0100-0457 on 9330 BCQ 500 kW / 060 deg to N/ME Arabic
0500-0657 on 9330 BCQ 500 kW / 300 deg to CAN English
0700-0857 on 9330 BCQ 500 kW / 057 deg to WeEu English
0900-1257 on 9330 BCQ 500 kW / 255 deg to MEX English, weak signal
at 1100
1300-1857 on 15330 BCQ 500 kW / 060 deg to N/ME Arabic
1900-0057 on 11730 BCQ 500 kW / 060 deg to N/ME Arabic``
but nothing there on 15330, Oct 30 at 1457, nor on 9330. At 1917,
nothing on 11730, nor 9330.

And the answer is ? not much of RTZ is left at 0430 -- it's one-and-a-half

Must be a prop disturbance, but nonesuch reported by WWV
simultaneously on 3-hourly update: SF 69, K index 1, no storms past or
expected. Ditto at 0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 9890, Oct 29 at 2206, news in Japanese, good S9+10 so figure
it must be a new relay like Madagascar. No, HFCC shows NHK direct from
Yamata at 21-23, 300 kW aimed away at 235 degrees, bud directly off
the back would be good for us at 55 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11540, Oct 30 at 1421, VP/JBA music on the only
active frequency in the Kurdo-Turco sub-band, so presumably this is DK
and/or Turkey jammer.
11530, Oct 30 at 1728 suspicious open carrier of S6-S7 is the only
activity around here; if the Radio War has gone by now to 9525, only a
JBA carrier there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 1050, Oct 30 at 0631, C&W song in English. If it
were not for the language and the music I would assume it`s XEG, as
loops from Monterrey direxion vs lots of CCI around. 0633 back
announcement in -- Spanish, but now there is QRM from another station
playing C&W --- that likely be CJNB North Battleford, Sask, U2 10/10
kW with C&W format. Of course, almost all its signal supposed to go
northward at night. See also CANADA for next Sask log a few minutes
later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 6115, Oct 30 at 1403, RNZP confirmed here in news,
ex-6170 after 1259. So far so good: S9/+10, no CCI audible, and WWCR
has not overtaken it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 6020 & 7410, Oct 30 at 0433, NO signals from RRI as now
scheduled English hour to W North America; of course, odds are at
least one transmitter AWOL. Not much point in checking the much higher
//s to S Asia, 9820-DRM and 11790 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** THAILAND. 13750, Oct 30 at 0011, JBA carrier, so HSK9 presumed,
made the correct B-19 switch 3 days late for the useless North
American service direct in English, no longer a JBA carrier on 13745.
But today, *no* signal from RHC on 13740 which, if on, would be a
barrier to either HSK9 frequency. You never know whether this one will
be active or not. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 5960, Oct 29 at 2350, VOT has succeeded in transmitting on
the third day of B-19 unlike the second, Turkish rock music near end
of 2300 broadcast; recheck at 2353 it`s off already, hardly enough
time for a formal closing with headlines. So no German extra today.
6125, Oct 30 at 0432, VOT music is poor, S4-S9 with flutter, as they
attempt to continue broadcasting English to western North America. It
would be nice if OCB Grimesland would turn off 6125 a few minutes
before 0400 for us to hear VOT IS, but we`ll be lucky if they close it
by 0401.
12035, Oct 30 at 1408, Turkish song at S5-S7 with flutter, as VOT 1330
English to Europe and USward improves a little; but last half of
hours are mostly music fill; try to tune in earlier for the meat
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11720, Oct 29 at 2155, VOA S9+20 with rock music. As
expected this new frequency eastward from Grimesland in English for
Africa is VG for us in the opposite direxion; one hour only from 2100
but on Fridays should include `Music Time in Africa`; instead of 15580
previous B-seasons which would not be nearly as good under prevailing
MUFs at this <2 megameter skip distance (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17655, Oct 30 at 1731, VOA in Portuguese Portuguese to
Africa, only fair S9-S7 --- now the only Grimesland frequency on this
band, no more English midday on 17530. PP is 1700-1800 daily, and also
until 1830 M-F. If SWLs in Brasil want to hear VOA, they must put up
with that accent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7490.1v, Tue Oct 29 at 2157, an `AAAWWW` playback is filling
this 21-22 `Available Time Slot` on S5-S7 WBCQ as he is talking
politically during the final e-mail segment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Final scheduled SW airings of WORLD OF RADIO 2005:
Wednesday Oct 30 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490.1v (last week started 20 seconds
late, not my typo 30)
UT Thursday Oct 31 at 0100 on WRMI 7780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9330.00, Oct 29 at 2200, WBCQ-6 is on after a long silent
period of over a week: the usual WLC Radio guys with very informal
chat designed to dupe younger listeners. Opening with a quiz, what do
these movies have in common, SF? It`s only S9+10/20 so could well be
on the 60 degree azimuth away from us. Nothing in last few days` twits
from AW that this would be testing again.
On Oct 30, Ivo Ivanov suggested they would be on 15330 in our
mornings:
``WBCQ-6 World's Last Chance Radio is [sic] on air October 30
0100-0457 on 9330 BCQ 500 kW / 060 deg to N/ME Arabic
0500-0657 on 9330 BCQ 500 kW / 300 deg to CAN English
0700-0857 on 9330 BCQ 500 kW / 057 deg to WeEu English
0900-1257 on 9330 BCQ 500 kW / 255 deg to MEX English, weak signal
at 1100
1300-1857 on 15330 BCQ 500 kW / 060 deg to N/ME Arabic
1900-0057 on 11730 BCQ 500 kW / 060 deg to N/ME Arabic``
but nothing there on 15330, Oct 30 at 1457, nor on 9330. At 1917,
nothing on 11730, nor 9330.
On last week`s AAAWWW he did say would be testing over the pole to
China `this week`. Someone did catch that one, Alan Holder, Isle of
Wight, UK: ``USA - WBCQ --- Superstation on test with WLC Radio
programming in the Chinese language. Heard on October 28 from 1000 to
1100 UT on 9330 kHz. Good signal in the U.K. (S-9+) with some fading.
I have checked out a number of SDRs in China, Japan and Korea, but no
reception of WLC on any of them. Thanks for the great work you do for
the SWL fraternity.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, Oct 30 at 1730 check, KVOH is off again, having
reappeared yesterday. Wildfire news has been mentioning Simi Valley,
which is uncomfortably close to KVOH. Here`s the latest from Ray
Robinson to the WOR iog as of 1310 UT:
``High winds and no power again in Simi today, including Chatsworth
Peak. Plus there's a major wildfire now around the Reagan Library,
with evacuations in progress. KVOH is off the air today, hopefully
back tomorrow. The FM (KWSV, 99.1 MHz), which is much lower power than
the SW, is running on generator power. Ray Robinson, Voice of Hope
World Radio Network, Americas/Africa/Middle East,

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ZANZIBAR. 6015, Oct 30 at 0432, JBA carrier, maybe ZBC; as
discovered yesterday, before 0430 it`s blocked by Tamazuj via much
bigger Madagascar, but tuned in too late today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4960, Oct 29 at 2357, no open carrier unlike 24 hours
ago when USAGM Sao Tome was suspected of not turning off (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9570, Oct 29 at 2202, open carrier, off already at 2203*
before I can read the S-meter, circa S9. Nothing scheduled this hour
but suspiciously Cuba uses it earlier, and Albania later, both for CRI
relays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
this report dispatched at 2055 UT October 30
