** ALASKA. 2863-USB, Sept 23 at 1156, weak VOLMET in American English, fortunately far enough from COSTA RICA, q.v. 2859.8; several sites alternate each semihour, and per http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/VOLMET at H+25-30, and +55-60 it`s Anchorage (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ALBANIA. 7390, Sept 23 at 0628, R. Tirana IS, 0630:16 opening in Albanian. Fair signal at S9+18 with fading, but usual undermodulation. Considering this is non-direxional for Europe, doing well to make it here. Also has some QRM from 7405 DentroCuban Jamming Command, bleedover or spur (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36 barely audible with some music at 1350 Sept 23, weaker than Rampisham 15480, and no better later on; but at least confirmed active today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** AUSTRIA. 17610, a good source of exotic HOA music, Sept 23 at 1450, and a good signal altho weaker than adjacent BSKSA 17615. This is the Afar hour, of all things, from AWR, 300 kW, 145 degrees via Moosbrunn, so we are close to directly off the back, 325 degrees. It`s hard to imagine the lyrix in this traditional music form are Christian, but surely they must be, as the SDA invade yet another culture with a well-established religion of its own (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. Firedrake Sept 23: none heard 8-18 MHz between 1130 and 14, especially checking the prime hangouts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** COSTA RICA. 2859.8, tnx to a tip from Brian Alexander reminding us of the harmonic, last heard 6+ months ago, it`s still there, and oncoming fall/winter conditions should audiblize it better. Sept 23 at 1117 I hear some Mexican music, stronger than North Korea 2850; 1119 a brief announcement may have mentioned San Carlos, for this is surely R. San Carlos, off-frequency as before, 2 x 1429.9. WRTH 2010 says it`s TIRDVC, 3 kW on 1430 from Ciudad Quesada at 1115-0200, but no mention of the harmonic! making this CR`s only active SW station, if you don`t mind fudging HF a bit below 3 MHz. By 1135, it had become weaker than 2850 and bothered by intermittent local line noise bursts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. RHC keeps us guessing with their anomalies: Sept 23 at 0622 I find Spanish on: 5040, 5970, 6120, 6150 (6150 and 5970 usually in English); English was really only on 6010, 6060. At 0623, The 5040 transmitter was fulcrumming the 5025 Rebelde transmitter, producing a weak mix of the two audios, leapfrogging to 5055, fading out and in, not to be taken for Vanuatu, the long-gone TIFC Costa Rica still in the WRTH 2010 frequency list, or one of the Brazilians (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** FRANCE [non]. 13640, RFI Spanish service via GUIANA FRENCH, Sept 23 from 1220, usual VG signal, but nothing heard in Spanish, just RFI Musique, including ``Calico`` at 1224; 1228 RFI IDs, no Spanish. Must be another disruption, as today`s another general strike in France. Thought it might be extended past 1230 as sometimes happens, but off at 1229:38, clearing TRT music on 13635 which I then enjoy. 9955, RFI English is now relayed by WRMI M-F at 1400-1430 instead of R. Prague; I imagine Jeff White worked out such a deal at HFCC Zurich in August, but why? RP is still scheduled at other times on WRMI. To confirm Sept 23 at 1408, heard English news, YL interview OM on phone about Cambodia and Vietnam, former French sphere of influence, hardly Czech, but still not certain it was really RFI until 1415 timecheck as quarter past the hour, ID and on to other features. Must be pulled off WRN, which has RFI English also at 1400-1430, a transmission which used to be on RFI`s own SW too. Maybe it`s really live, unlike yesterday`s news from Prague. Signal today was poor, but no jamming; more of a problem was splatter from VOA 9945 music for Indonesia, 200 degrees from Tinang, Philippines, but only on Thu-Fri-Sat; plus Brother Scare overload from WWCR 9980. But, what will happen when WRMI switches from EDT to EST, the semihour for this becoming 1500-1530, while RFI stays at 1400? Or maybe not, via WRN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUATEMALA. I was unavoidably awake before 1100 UT Sept 23, so made the best of it by monitoring, starting with 4055 for R. Verdad, nominal sign-on 1100, but nothing heard at 1059-1104 and later chex. However, at 1124 it was on with prayer(?) or at least preaching in Spanish; 1127 music. BFO needed, but it was hard to tune exactly so the music sounded right, even by first zeroing in on Nikkei 6055. Just about no carrier from TGAV at this time, and then like Bob Wilkner, I concluded at 1150 there was an FM element to the transmission, as during pauses there would be sort of a carrier, unstable. Still audible but almost gone by 1159. I never heard the choo-choo SFX as used to air around 1130, despite ``El Tren del Evangelio`` still on the schedule for

Peru, 6019.41, Radio Victoria, 2330-2345, This evening noted Radio Victoria on 6019.41 KHz without any nearby QRM at least for a few minutes. Heard a male in steady Spanish language comments for awhile. The first gent is joined by another male and female. Signal was fair to poor. (Chuck Bolland, September 23, 2010) Bolivia, 6134.83, Radio Santa Cruz, 2342-2359, Noted music initially with the usual het needing notcing out on 6135 KHz. Believe a male and female talk in Spanish over the music. Condition seem to be slightly better this evening as RSC is at a fair level here. (Chuck Bolland, September 23, 2010) Bolivia, 3310.12, Radio Mosoj Chaski, 2354-2359, Noted steady popular music. At 2356 a female(believe?) talks briefly in Spanish.

Re: [HCDX] 1521 and 1539?
--- On Thu, 9/23/10, Glenn Hauser wghau...@yahoo.com wrote: UNIDENTIFIED. I sometimes check out the hi end of the MW band late at night, using the same E-W longwire to the FRG-7 as for SW. Something strange, Sept 23 at 0635 UT I was hearing a het of about 1 kHz on KOKC 1520, from 1521 --- that`s too late for Saudi Arabia, which is commonly audible earlier. And a het of almost, but not quite the same pitch, from 1539 against jumble of signals including an open carrier on 1540. These do happen to be Region 1 MW channels, but such a pair is suspicious, as if a station on 1530 were running a 9 kHz tone test, or spurs of the same frequency. The 1521 and 1539 signals were fading, so not an artifact of some local appliance, altho 1539 was somewhat unstable judging from the pitch fluxuation. 1539/1540 het pitch was slightly higher than the 1521/1520 het, so if they were coming from a 1530 transmitter, it was slightly on the lo side. Could not make out any audio from them. Ideas? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 1521, het on KOKC 1520, Sept 24 at 0212, surely Saudi Arabia, which if nothing else penetrates the North Atlantic darkness. Reminds me that the night before I was also getting such a het at the very late hour of 0635 UT, which led me to dispense with SA as a source and look for another explanation, such as a spur or tone test from a domestic 1530 station, especially since there was another one like it on 1539. Now at 0212, there is no 1539, so putting that aside, I am rethinking this. Early reception from East Asia or Pacific might be possible in winter, but now it just seems too early, and there are no powerful 1521 or 1539 transmitters in those areas. 0635 has to be long after sunrise anywhere in Saudi Arabia, but just where is Duba, the site of 1521? Would you believe it doesn`t rate a dot on the WRTH map of the Middle East? O yeah, that`s for SW sites only, but there is a lot of blank space in SA. One of my atlas collexion quickly locates it in the NW corner, just across from the tip of Sinai, and it`s right on the coast, which makes it the best possible site to reach Europe and beyond. So when is sunrise there? Little Duba is also unrecognized as of any significance by Gaisma.com but there is a listing for a city not too far away, Tabuk: http://www.gaisma.com/en/location/tabuk-sa.html which shows 0623 local = 0323 UT. Considering that this is the most powerful MW station in the world, 2 megawatts, could it still be penetrating by skywave three hours after sunrise through sheer brute force? It is after all, routinely reported at least two hours before sunset along east coast North America, right? The great circle path from Duba to Enid crosses Brussels, Manchester, Belfast, so in those locations of the UK or vicinity, just how late at this time of year can you still hear BSKSA on 1521? If it gets that far still at 0635 UT, then it could also reach here. Blocked by anything? WRTH frequency list has only: two stations under 1 kW in UK, one each 5 kW in Spain, 27 kW in Russia, 100 kW in Iran (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ---[Start Commercial]- Order your WRTH 2009: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2009 ---[End Commercial]--- Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ ___ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.

** CANADA. 6070, CFRX still open carrier only, Sept 24 at 0113 check. When will they notice at HQ and get around to going out to the transmitter site to fix it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** COSTA RICA. After checking on R. Verdad, 4055+, see GUATEMALA, I looked for R. San Carlos on 2859.8, Sept 24 at 0200, but no trace of it. Up to its old trix, varying sign-off time considerably around 0200. The nominal sign-on at 1115 could be informative (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUATEMALA. UT Sept 24 I checked for R. Verdad earlier than before, at 0200 UT. Music audible around 4055, and still at 0235, but lacking a reference carrier, it`s very difficult to get it to `sound right` with the BFO on, and once zeroed on Spain 6055, TGAV audio still is not clear, so it`s slightly off, I think to the hi side, and mushy sounding with some FM component rather than pure SSB. Dr Madrid confirms they are still running only 50 watts with the backup transmitter, but ``we`ll try to increase it a little bit tomorrow``, and assures us they will be back on 4052.5 when the big transmitter is reactivated, probably around the end of October (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. As I was checking 90m, noise level not too bad, Sept 24 at 0207, found very weak signal on about 3199.5 and another like it on 3230.5; strained to make traces of audio // 3215 WWCR but could not, too weak. Nevertheless, these are surely the oft-reported spurs of the WWCR-1 transmitter, which does the same when on 7465. Maybe also when on 15825, but fundamental from that is rarely strong enough here to audiblize spurs so far down. These have been reported periodically by Brian Alexander, PA, since Dec 8, 2007, and have varied slightly from 3199.38 to 3199.48, 3230.52 to 3230.62. Furthermore, tnx to a tip from Sean Travers, who had been noting it previous two nights, WWCR quit 3215 and was opening with steel drum IS at 0358 Sept 24 on 3255 instead. I was not listening closely to what they said, if they axually mentioned why they were on 3255, but instead of programming, it became open carrier, still such until a country hymn singer started at 0454. The program listed for 04-05 UT Tue-Sat in the Sept schedule is Truth House with Dr. E.C. Fulcher. 0458 announced frequency change back to 3215, and off 3255. I suppose this means when WORLD OF RADIO comes around UT Sunday at 0630, it will still be on 3215, but if not, check 3255 or vicinity. Nothing about such a test or frequency change on the home page. It seems odd they would leave 3215 with no known problems (or has some military/government/utility user complained?), for a frequency already used by BBC via South Africa at 0300-0600. WWCR is certainly capable of overriding that in North America, but could cause problems for BBC in W Africa, and why risk collision when you don`t have to? So did it bring the plus/minus 15.5v kHz spurs with it? Seems so: at 0450 I was getting some weak otherwise unexplained carriers around 3239.5 and 3270.5. WWCR on 3255 could also be a problem for HRPC and its listeners on 3250; did not seem to be on after 0400 tonight but sometimes it is, and was hearing it earlier around 0210 when WWCR was still on 3199.5, 3215 and 3230.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. George McClintock of WTWW advises me Sept 23: switch from 9479 to 5755 has been moved forward an hour to 23 UT. The morning switch from 5755 to 9479 will also be moved an hour, later, sometime in October, 13 instead of 12 UT, to compensate for longer nights, shorter days. Registrations are flexible enough to accommodate such variations as needed. How is transmitter #2 coming? A crew is coming shortly to do some work on it. Looks like it will not be on the air until next year. Transmitter #3? About 80% likely to be obtained this year, but it too will take some time after #2 to become operational. #1 has been working well, has run 30 days with very little downtime (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1531 missing from WWRB, UT Friday Sept 24 at 0330-0400. Too late, I discovered they had a corrupted file so could not air it; instead, big band music fill. I make a sad face. Now with the good file, perhaps they will be able to fit it in some open slot instead during the following week, and if so and notified in advance, I`ll let everyone know (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [non]. 9830, VG signal Sept 24 at 0154 in fraxured French --- must be Kriyol, then into instrumental music with religious overtones, 0158 ``Gott Sei die Ehre``, theme, so it`s Family Radio, but WYFR? Modulation unsounds like Okeechobee, and no Creole on their own schedule. 0158 says ``The Sound of the New Life, Family Radio en langue créole`` and off at 0158.6. This is a new service, started 27 August, really 250 kW, 306 degrees from Guiana French, at 01-02, tho hardly necessary with WYFR itself

Tirana IS, 0630:16 opening in Albanian. Fair signal at S9+18 with fading, but usual undermodulation. Considering this is non-direxional for Europe, doing well to make it here. Also has some QRM from 7405 DentroCuban Jamming Command, bleedover or spur (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36 barely audible with some music at 1350 Sept 23, weaker than Rampisham 15480, and no better later on; but at least confirmed active today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** AUSTRIA. 17610, a good source of exotic HOA music, Sept 23 at 1450, and a good signal altho weaker than adjacent BSKSA 17615. This is the Afar hour, of all things, from AWR, 300 kW, 145 degrees via Moosbrunn, so we are close to directly off the back, 325 degrees. It`s hard to imagine the lyrix in this traditional music form are Christian, but surely they must be, as the SDA invade yet another culture with a well-established religion of its own (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. Firedrake Sept 23: none heard 8-18 MHz between 1130 and 14, especially checking the prime hangouts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** COSTA RICA. 2859.8, tnx to a tip from Brian Alexander reminding us of the harmonic, last heard 6+ months ago, it`s still there, and oncoming fall/winter conditions should audiblize it better. Sept 23 at 1117 I hear some Mexican music, stronger than North Korea 2850; 1119 a brief announcement may have mentioned San Carlos, for this is surely R. San Carlos, off-frequency as before, 2 x 1429.9. WRTH 2010 says it`s TIRDVC, 3 kW on 1430 from Ciudad Quesada at 1115-0200, but no mention of the harmonic! making this CR`s only active SW station, if you don`t mind fudging HF a bit below 3 MHz. By 1135, it had become weaker than 2850 and bothered by intermittent local line noise bursts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. RHC keeps us guessing with their anomalies: Sept 23 at 0622 I find Spanish on: 5040, 5970, 6120, 6150 (6150 and 5970 usually in English); English was really only on 6010, 6060. At 0623, The 5040 transmitter was fulcrumming the 5025 Rebelde transmitter, producing a weak mix of the two audios, leapfrogging to 5055, fading out and in, not to be taken for Vanuatu, the long-gone TIFC Costa Rica still in the WRTH 2010 frequency list, or one of the Brazilians (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** FRANCE [non]. 13640, RFI Spanish service via GUIANA FRENCH, Sept 23 from 1220, usual VG signal, but nothing heard in Spanish, just RFI Musique, including ``Calico`` at 1224; 1228 RFI IDs, no Spanish. Must be another disruption, as today`s another general strike in France. Thought it might be extended past 1230 as sometimes happens, but off at 1229:38, clearing TRT music on 13635 which I then
