** BRAZIL [and non]. 4985, Feb 25 at 0650, not even a JBA carrier from
R. Brasil Central; normally one can be detected vs the utecrap on the
plus side; nor have I heard it for several late-nights. Is it off? Feb
25 at 1715, checking remote in Goi?nia itself, nothing on 4985, but on
11815 a trace, maybe Romania, only other thing sked during this hour
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. [WOR] Is 1549.82 XEREL? I`ve been chasing the 1549.82 kHz
carrier again tonight UT Feb 25 around 0630, after hearing it again
direct, JBA. Tried about 6 remotes in different areas of the US, and
not audible. Tried the one in Quer?taro, and it *is* barely audible;
also at Durango2, but very noisy. Not in San Diego.
There are only two Mexicans on 1550, one besides Tijuana: XEREL, La
15-50, Morelia, Mich., 1 kW per WRTH. The only Central American is a 1
kW in Honduras. Perhaps our active MW DXer in Qro could check this
out? 73, (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, 0647 UT Feb 25)
At 1620 Feb 25 in full daytime I check the same remote, named ``San
Juan del Rio`` not obviously in Qro, when there should only be closer
non-skywave signals on 1550. Tuned to 1550.000, it displays an
inaudible carrier -26 to -30 Hz. But checking 15000 WWV for
calibration, that reads out -118 Hz, so this does not add up. If
properly calibrated, we should be getting something at -180 Hz if it`s
1549.82 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 13755, Feb 25 at 0754, RNZP the only
significant signal on band, S6/S8 with rapid news in English about
VANUATU, such as earthquake damage; while VBTC itself is too weak to
copy on 7260. Soon some island music, 0800 timesignal and tropical
cyclone warning for FIJI. This was `Melanesian Update`, per the
Tuesday program schedule in UT +13:
``8:08 PM. Pacific Waves
A daily current affairs programme covering the major Pacific stories
of the week, with background and reaction from the people making the
news.
8:28 PM. Melanesian Update
Melanesian Update includes Pidgin News from Koroi Hawkins followed by
BuzzFM News from our partners in Port Vila, Vanuatu.
9:00 PM. ABC Wantok Program
30 minutes of news and current affairs from ABC Australia from Monday
to Friday in Papua New Guinea Tok Pisin, Solomon Islands Pijin and
Vanuatu Bislama pidgin languages`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** PHILIPPINES [and non]. 15190, Feb 25 at 1958, into Bras?lia SDR,
bigsig in unID language making big het with R. Inconfid?ncia with
equally bigsig and soon makes a full ID for its MW, SW and FM
frequencies. It`s way off-frequency minus as usual lately, but per
HFCC, EiBi and Aoki, nothing else is supposed to be on 15190 at this
hour after Radyo Pilipinas at 1730-1930. I don`t take time to measure
it exactly as I am trying to ID the other.
At 2004 I switch to UTwente where there is no signal from Brasil.
Listening further, there are often English words and phrases, such as
Blackwater, free agent, USAWR, San Miguel, and Pilipinas! Yes, that`s
what it is, Tagalog on 15190.003 at S9+25, so extended transmission,
by accident or change? Is for Mideast, so maybe sorta toward Brasil
too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.003, Feb 25 at 2333, VOT with music VG into
UTwente, 2338 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, music. 2348 multi-lingual
ID filler reel, music; 2354 s/off atop 6CI, only two iterations of
first notes of IS and chop by 2356*, uncovering ChiCom music (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2283 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday February 25 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S7/S9 into S TX SDR.
Also confirmed Tuesday February 25 at 1406 the 1400 on WRMI 9955,
S4/S5 direct.
Also confirmed Tuesday February 25 at 1517 the 1500 on WRMI 9955,
S8/S9 JBA direct.
Also confirmed Tuesday February 25 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
122.997+, S8.5 into UTwente across Europe. Next:
0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
0030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
2030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW;
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975.
Thanks to Ron Howard, Monterey CA who sent a check on a US bank to
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, and ``Happy Chinese
New Year``
One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to:
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1560, Feb 25 circa 0630 UT, checking remotes for 1549.82
mystery carrier, I happen to notice into Washington DC area SDR, a
very strong ID for Family Radio on 1560 - WFME New York, of course -
could it be back up to 50 kW? Never hear it direct, of course - 1560
dominated by KGOW TX in Vietnamese, despite its supposed unfavorable
pattern thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
