SPECIAL WNJC 1360 CHRISTMAS DX TEST
The Courtesy Program Committee (CPC) of the NRC and IRCA wanted to get word out
that WNJC 1360 Washington Township, NJ will be having a 2 all night DX tests.
It's a Christmas miracle! :)
12/20 01:00 - 05:00 UTC Audio DX Test (.8kw)
12/20 05:00 - 11:00 UTC Audio DX Test (5kw)
12/21 01:00 - 05:00 UTC Audio DX Test (.8kw)
12/21 05:00 - 11:00 UTC Audio DX Test (5kw)
The CPC has prepared special program content for the test, including Christmas
themed jingles and liners, some ?offbeat? or wacky Christmas songs, Morse Code,
and Santa?s Sweep Tones.
We can?t guarantee that WNJC will be the only station playing Christmas music
on 1360 during the test, but I?ll take bets that they will be the only one
playing Weird Al?s ?Christmas at Ground Zero.?
Reports can be sent to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> or for a
QSL card sent at least a 4x6 SASE envelope too

Thanks to Duke Hamann and the owners of WNJC. Their extended maintenance has
given us a rare opportunity to have multiple tests from the same station
throughout a good portion of the DX season.

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Sat Dec 19 from 1548 UT tune-in via
Pardinho SP Brasil KiwiSDR, LRA36 has made a surprise appearance after
supposedly closing down for the summer a sesquimonth ago. Tbx tip on
the WOR iog at 1406 UT:
``Manuel M?ndez Lugo, Spain
LRA 36 on air, heard via SDR Kiwi remote receivers in South America

female, comments, songs in Spanish.
Thank you very much to Hugo L?pez from Santiago de Chile, to alert me
via whatsapp about this transmission.``
As I start listening to the S5-S6 signal, it`s a mess, seems like two
different audio sources mixing equally, music + music or music + talk.
If they are going to do that, should be on separate sidebands, but as
usual there is no LSB, so both are on USB. Various comments include at
1550, ``feliz navidad``; 1551 ``Nacional Ant?rtida Argentina``; 1556
LRA 36 ID; timesignal! at 1600+ about 15 seconds late, including
internet delay. Surely that is not generated at Base Esperanza, rather
Bs. As. More IDs and Antarctica mentions interspersed, including
reference to the original Wed 11-13 local time broadcast. But
1621*-*1623 cut off the air. When resumed the noise level at the SDR
is higher; 1626 more or less as originally; 1628 ID in passing.
At 1636 I try other Brasil SDRs: Bras?lia is full, but Rio is axually
getting this better with less local noise than SP. But about 1640*
signal lost and can`t find it again on any of them.
Meanwhile, further info about this had arrived from MM at 1415:
``"Adrian Korol retwitte? --- CE3 BBC, Hugo, Santiago de Chile,
Sudam?rica @CE3BBC --- ANTARTIDA - LRA36 S?bado 19 de diciembre 2020
Emisi?n especial de LRA 36 Radio Nacional Arc?ngel San Gabriel, desde

11:40 p. m. ? 18 dic. 2020?Twitter Web App"
According with this tweet, the today transmission is the first with
the 2021 Base Esperanza team`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ERITREA [non]. 17545V, Sat Dec 19 at 1535, presumed Bayto Yaikl is
VP S7-S9, but with BFO can tell the frequency is cycling up and down
as usual. At one point I catch it on 17545.060. This is Wed & Sat
only. Registered by RMI broker in HFCC as Issoudun, FRANCE site, but
this strange behaviour brings that into question. A previous inquiry
to Jeff White got no answer as to the correct transmitter site.
Wolfgang Bueschel also heard it today and speculates that it`s really
renting an old Soviet-era Kostinbrod, Bulgaria unit. Ivo Ivanov ought
to be able to discern whether it`s his local transmitter, e.g. by
hearing a second harmonic on groundwave, which would be 35090VV. The
same applies to the next RMI transmission after 1600 daily on 15285V,
R. Manara International which I previously caught wobbling likewise;
and maybe to the next2 one, 1700 on 13660, Alameda Bible Fellowship,
per NDXC on Mon & Fri only --- need to check whether that one vary the
same way. HFCC shows that on days 135, meaning Sun/Tue/Thu, but surely
a mistake for 246 = Mon/Wed/Fri. The latter two second harmonix would
be 30570VV, 27320VV.
Kai Ludwig speculates it could be Issoudun but via old Pori, Finland
transmitter moved in; no specific ISS info in the past decade (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 13565-CW, Dec 19 at 1452, HIFER beacon K6FRC, weak but
clearly readable, nothing but the call over and over. This may seem
routine, but not if it`s really 1.8 milliwatts as claimed, from
Patterson, California; only rarely audible and solely around this time
of day, so standard inquiry whether it`s *always* on air as beacons
should be, despite the kWh expense. Also standard: where are all the
other beacons listed in the 13550-13570 ISM band? I used to hear ~half
a dozen of them, but not any more (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [non]. 15460, Sat Dec 19 at 1454, African language, S9/+10,
the SSOB except for WRMI and RHC, surely the extracontinental SSOB,
but what? HFCC shows USAGM via VATICAN in Kin[yarwanda] on Sat/Sun
only. Then some African music until cut off at 1500*; but wait, there
is still/now a much weaker JBA signal on 15460. HFCC shows from 1500
it`s USAGM switched to BOTSWANA in Hausa daily. Aoki/NDXC shows both
as VOA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2065 monitoring. Awoke at 1329 UT
Sat Dec 19, a minute too late to confirm the 1300 on WRMI 15770. Did
anyone hear it?

Subject: [HCDX] WNJC 1360 Special Christmas DX Test
TONIGHT--TONIGHT--TONIGHT
Message-ID: <[email protected]>

The special Christmas themed material for tonight?s DX test is going to be
fun?especially for those close enough to have easy copy of the test but there
are also ?treats? for even distant listeners. Who knows you might even get a
message from the ?Big Guy!? Tune in!
SPECIAL WNJC 1360 CHRISTMAS DX TEST
The Courtesy Program Committee (CPC) of the NRC and IRCA wanted to get word out
that WNJC 1360 Washington Township, NJ will be having a 2 all night DX tests.
It's a Christmas miracle! :)
12/20 01:00 - 05:00 UTC Audio DX Test (.8kw)
12/20 05:00 - 11:00 UTC Audio DX Test (5kw)
12/21 01:00 - 05:00 UTC Audio DX Test (.8kw)
12/21 05:00 - 11:00 UTC Audio DX Test (5kw)
The CPC has prepared special program content for the test, including Christmas
themed jingles and liners, some ?offbeat? or wacky Christmas songs, Morse Code,
and Santa?s Sweep Tones.
We can?t guarantee that WNJC will be the only station playing Christmas music
on 1360 during the test, but I?ll take bets that they will be the only one
playing Weird Al?s ?Christmas at Ground Zero.?
Reports can be sent to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> or for a
QSL card sent at least a 4x6 SASE envelope too

If you send a report by mail, please include a Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope
(SASE).
Thanks to Duke Hamann and the owners of WNJC. Their extended maintenance has
given us a rare opportunity to have multiple tests from the same station
throughout a good portion of the DX season.
