DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS UPDATE JANUARY 1
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html
WRMI entries not fully updated yet
WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST UPDATE JANUARY 1
Hi Glenn, Happy New Year! My latest Hitlist update.
https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm
1) Guam - KTWR, TWR-Asia: Added entry, including blogspot page
containing programme & frequency updates (Thanks to Mike Sabin, Asia
Broadcast Technical Operations Director)
2) Romania - R Romania Int: Added link to RRM domestic service 2-week
schedule. Play list for the Sunday Radio Concert Season programme on
RRI can be found by checking the previous Friday entry at 1900 on the
RRM webpage)
Unless there's a major change anywhere, the next update will be late
January. Best wishes and 73 (Alan Roe, UK)
** COLOMBIA. Re: [WOR] 4940 kHz. - La Montana --- ``Happy New Year,
Glenn! Believe the 2021 WRTH has 4940 as La Montana Colombia, 1 KW.
Ron Howard``
So it has, page 166 - somehow I assumed it would not be in WRTH yet.
[As only SW station in frequency list, location Maicao but:] Station
DC26) as if it were in Bogot?. Info apparently from Rafael Rodr?guez,
who really is in Bogot?, as QSL manager just as he was for the 5910 &
6010 stations really in Puerto Lleras; but did not bother to inform
us. The WRTH entry also shows an oficina address as Red 4-72
Unicentro, Bogot?. Does anyone ever really hear an ID as ``La Montana
Colombia`` - or Monta?a? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [non]. Rechecking for the ND beacons missing last night:
still absent at 0253 UT Jan 2 are: 255 SW Stillwater; 341 EI Enid; 350
RG OKC. Enid got about 6 inches of snow overnight early UT January 1;
somewhat melting during the day but plenty remains on ground.
Fortunately not enough freezing rain icing here to cause problems
before snowing.
On 341-MCW kHz I am hearing only OIN OberlIN, Kansas; on 350-USB, only
dash and YKQ, which is really on 351-MCW from Fort Rupert -
Waskaganish, Quebec; also on 351-MCW itself a mixture of YKQ and IN,
which is really on 353 from International Falls, Minnesota (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat Jan 2 at 0100, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW``,
turns out to be 99% political this week. ``Wake up; the Republic is at
Stake``; Angela has been injured, sticking herself on a spine of a
huge century plant by the Fla studio; but she still looks
``delicious``. Both of them have fallen for the conspiracy narrative
that Trump had to have won, Biden is a joke but if inofficed will lead
to takeover of America by socialist/communism headed by the CCP ---
what`s that? Allan has a `brain fart`, then remembers it`s the Chinese
Communist Party, which is trying to conquer the world, especially the
US, including not least via its bio-weapon the COVID virus. [Not
addressed, Occamly, why would the ChiCom capitalists want to kill off
so many of their customers?? Not to mention the negative image.] After
datestamp at 0121 that it is January 1, YOOL 2021, plays a 20-minute
podcast? thru a phone-patch which tries to convince that there was
massive elexion fraud, and since this thing has been banned from FB,
YT and TW, it must be true! On and on; finally 0153 some e-mail,
prayer and off. Simultaneously I was getting the new episode of Dr
Who, which made a lot more sense (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Re `Escape From 2020` special on WBCQ:
``Hello Glenn, Glad you enjoyed the show. Listeners were duly warned
that the first three minutes would be as ugly as the year, like the
old man / new baby thing in images of yore. We did get beautiful soon
after. I wish more entertainment programs would get into the act (pun
intended) with specials. Long-term, time sharing might even be a way
for two programs who can't pay their own way in isolation to get
together and get on the air. Who knows. An eQSL is attached.

Now #107 at http://www.worldofradio.com/QSL.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 4980, Jan 2 at 0231, WRMI seems powered up to S9, axually
readable with SMTV-sounding talk; ACI from 4985 RTTY and 4980 soon
fades way down so maybe just a fluke. Again it`s barely too late to
compare to next WRMI on 5010 which must have just closed, leaving
5010- Madagascar without a het.
5800, UT Sat Jan 2 at 0354, WRMI with pop music in Spanish, ID in
Spanish, 0356 to Zorba fill music. I was going to check what occupy
the 03-04 UT Sat hour this week; evidently neither `TRSW` nor `Encore`
but should have got there earlier. Maybe more Freedom Synergy Radio?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9975, Jan 2 at 0249, KVOH is only S4-S5, insufficient; at
0303 I check it via TWR Bonaire SDR to find its longer skip reaching
at S7-S8, sufficient with music and preaching. First wanted to check
Key West Kiwi but it was offline (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Radiotelecentr (PRTC) transmitter Grigoriopol Maiac.
Poor, battered people, have been waiting since the Treaty of Lausanne of
1923 year, since 98 years for their own state integrity and peace treaty
now;
and NATO messes with the Ottomans and also denies the People's Liberation
Army the status of a non-terrorist organization.
There is only terror - since 100 years now - towards eastern Turkish Kurd
nationals around from the Turkish state of Erdogan around Diyarbekir,
converted to Diyarbak?r (Copper Territory) in 1937.
Kurds use the Aramaic name Amed as an allusion to the ancient Medes folk.

** AUSTRIA [non]. Comment sent via PBS Great Performances webform:
``No COVID at Wiener Philharmoniker? --- Always anticipated and
enjoyed. New Year concert is obviously heavily post-produced with
dancing outside in the summer; yet there was no audience in the hall
due to COVID. Yet, not a mask anywhere on the non-blowing musicians,
and no social distancing. WHEN was that actually recorded??? It would
appear to be pre-COVID except for the zero audience. It may be for
``2021`` but I could not catch any (c) year at end of the credits.
Were the musicians really voluntarily put at risk? Will there be
follow-ups on how many were infected or died as a result of this?``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9700 & 6145, Jan 2 at 0706, neither RHC English frequency is
on, but 6100 remains at S9+10 but of air that is dead. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13771 & 13629 approx., Jan 2 at 1453, RHC FMish F# spurblobs
but only S1, from 13700-AM plus and minus ~71 kHz; lower one blox JBA
13630-AM carrier, i.e. VOA Kirundi at 1400-1500 Sat & Sun only via
VATICAN, violating Separation of Church and State; spurs still same at
1539 without the 13630. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** ERITREA [non]. 17545.051V, Jan 2 at 1534, JBA off-frequency and
wobbling audibly as I try to measure it to about 17545.060, i.e. the
Sat & Wed-only Bayto Yaikl clandestine via RMI via presumed Issoudun,
FRANCE defective transmitter. At 1550 I check same via South Africa
TWR KiwiSDR in SAM mode displaying offset plus carrier cycling between
34 and 65 Hz; S7-S9, quite readable about COVID-19. No signal at all
via the Qatar Qiwi; there are none closer to Eritrean target (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GERMANY. 11900, Jan 2 at 1458, outro of `Christ Gospel` huxter
program with Jeffersonville, Indiana address, then sign-off of Bible
Voice Broadcasting at Newmarket, Ontario address; with long/short path
echo and off 1500*. Aoki shows Saturday only at 1400-1458 via Nauen,
Christ Gospel as first semihour only. HFCC shows 250 kW at 102 degrees
for CIRAF 41 = Pakistan/India/Bangladesh. Short path Nauen to Enid is
8079 km = 5020 stmi. 24900 minus 5020 for long-path would be 19880
stmi. Difference 19880 minus 5020 = 14860. 14860 divided by speed of
light 186,000 mi/sec = .08 second delay or about 1/12 of one second
echo. We are probably getting primary signal off-the-back direct which
would be aimed 282 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** IRELAND [and non]. 13264-USB, Jan 2 at 1456, VOLMET by YL in
English, S4-S5, i.e. Shannon. No better, 13270-USB Gander OM (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 2 at 0706, VON succeeds on air, S7-S9 but JBM =
just barely modulated; why bother? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 13565-CW, Jan 2 at 1455, HIFER beacon K6FRC quite clear with
continuous IDs from Patterson, California, claimed to be only 1.8
milliwatts; the only one audible on the 13550-13570 ISM Part 15 band,
no WV from WV on 13555 now; but always the non-IDing pulsing on 13560
which could be from local store or medical RF devices, and/or
propagated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

tones with a couple brief pauses; 0713 VVV WCPH IDs very slow and some
fading; 0715 no tones heard, maybe voice announcements but totally
unreadable. I`m tuning in USB which may help audiblize the MCW.
Thruout, WCPH quite distinct from the rumble of multiple AM stations,
nothing readable from any of them. Nothing further needed to be sure I
heard it, even after the first 10 seconds. Others reported it started
an hour earlier from 0600 UT instead of publicized 0700-0900, with
full day power of 1000 watts on day pattern --- but listed as U1
nondirexional day and night, 1000/109 watts. Congrats to WCPH on its
65th anniversary.
This on my Icom R75 fed by 100-foot east-west longwire, a few feet
above snow on the ground, favoring reception from the east. Not
necessary to check via alternative DX-398 with internal antenna only.
Please eQSL.
Etowah is between Knoxville and Chattanooga, east of I-75. 1351 km =
858 statute miles city to Enid. I`m still not sure how to pronounce
it, as I don`t recall ever hearing it uttered during all my years in
Knoxville; but spelt backwards it is Hawote. It is certainly an
interesting name. Googling on it I discover first that there is an
Etowah in Oklahoma, a tiny town SE of Norman: ``ETOWAH. Located in
Cleveland County, Etowah lies on Etowah Road eleven miles east of
Noble. Historian George Shirk noted that the town name was derived
from a Cherokee settlement in Georgia,`` says the Oklahoma Historical
Society. Wikipedia says, ``Etowah is a Muskogee (Creek) word (Muscogee
spelling: italwa) for 'town'/'people'/'tribe'``. More here about the
WCPH Etowah:

? LAST NIGHT?S TEST STARTED AN HOUR EARLY ??
George Hudson, owner of WCPH and The Courtesy Program Committee (CPC) of the
NRC and IRCA are pleased to announce a special DX Test tonight, late night-
January 2nd, 2021. The test will begin at 2 AM Eastern Time until 4 AM Eastern
(0700-0900 UTC).
We have been able to confirm with owner George Hudson that last night?s special
DX Test started one hour earlier than scheduled?beginning at 1AM Eastern time
(0600 UTC) so if you had overnight recordings running, especially in
Europe?please check your recordings for traces of the WCPH 1220 kHz DX Test?you
may have a nice surprise.
According to George??Sorry for the change. I started the test earlier because I
couldn?t stay awake any longer. Long day!?
:-)
QSL INFORMATION
WCPH is currently celebrating their 65th anniversary of serving Southeastern
Tennessee. The station?s branding is ?Homegrown 1220? and ?Southeast

We prefer an .mp3 recording of the best reception, no more than 2 minutes or so
in length. If you cannot record the test, then detailed written reports can
also be accepted. Please include time stamps for each element that you
received?and describe the content as best you can.
