: 1026 Hertz Test Tone
Hi Ivo,
UKR Mykolaiev Luch site sce ceased on Aug 31.
Somebody told me, that 11510 kHz Kurdish radio remained and moved to
Grigoriopol Maiac Moldova.
Few days in row I discovered a 1026 Hertz test measurement and alignement
tone on 11510 kHz at 0348 to 0400 UT.
Yesterday at 2255-2300 UT I checked also other GRI/KCH outlet on 7260 kHz
and heard same 1026 Hertz test tone.
This morning I woke up and checked both Miraya FM 9940 and 11510 kHz
signals.
Miraya FM 9940 disturbed by terrible Radio Cairo signal 9965 kHz nearby, in
range 9937...9989 kHz.
Miraya FM started CRASH start at 02.58:52 UT, Sudan music started suddenly.
No t o n e Opening procedure, pure CRASH start.
11510 despite different procedure
TX ON carrier 03.50:16 UT,
to 03.51.29 UT TX OFF
Pause
TX ON 03.55:37 UT, Test measurement tone 1026 Hertz,
alternate duration 6sec tone, 5sec pause,
last tone at 03.59:41 UT.
Crash program audio start at 04.00:02 UT, short Kurdish announcement by man,
followed at 04.00:24 UT by playing Kurdish National hymne by brass band.
At this time,
transmissions from outside Europe,
like Cyprus, Egypt and Nador Morocco 9579 are
much stronger than 9940 and 11510 kHz.
11510 from 04 UT is at 99% rate coming out of Grigoriopol Maiac.
KCH/GRI registrations are
6225 17 7260 23 7290 18 bzw. 23 7460 0230 7480 18

[HCDX] Friday Morning
Bolivia, 6134.78, Radio Santa Cruz, 0915-0930+, At tune in, noted a marathon identification fest with numerous canned ID's between promos and comments Radio Santa Cruz. Signal was fair during this process. (Chuck Bolland, November 2, 2012) Peru, 5025.00, Radio Quillabamba, Presumed, 0955-1010, Noted a strong signal here with traditional Peruvian type music while a RTTY signal also shares the frequency. Both signals are at a good level. Unfortunately after the top of the hour, Quillabamba's signal looses some of it's power and I miss any ID's while the RTTY continues to blast away. No appearance of Radio Rebelde so far this morning.

** ALBANIA. 6100, Nov 2 tuning in early in case R. Tirana is really starting at 0200 as per the new schedule announcements. No, nothing there at 0212, nor at 0225, but at 0227 a very poor carrier is going on and off, and continues to be JBA at 0230. Assuming this is really it, not a good night for propagation from Europe. Not all my local noise sources were off but should have made little difference if they were (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** AUSTRALIA. 5995 AM, Nov 2 at 1128, English with S. Asian accent had me going for a moment until I realized it had to be R. Australia, 10 kW from Brandon, and Oz accent soon followed. BTW, HFCC B-12 shows all RA on 5995 is in AM, no DRM any more. Is this incorrect? 2325, Nov 2 at 1132, JBA carrier detectable here once I offset the BFO on China/PNG 7325 and tune down exactly 5 MHz, presumably VL8T, passing another one on 3325, presumably PNG/Indonesia, but all way too down in the noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BANGLADESH. 15505, Nov 2 at 1358, hum and BB IS past 1400, timesignal finally ending at 1400:31 and opening Urdu, usual very poor signal. Was not hearing this at all on Nov 1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BRAZIL. 6180, Nov 2 at 0208, it`s another night off for the extremely unreliable RNB transmitter, good news for 6175 and 6185 neighbors (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CANADA. 9625, Nov 2 at 0502, yes, CBCNQ via CKCX survives another day into its ``revoked`` afterlife, with CBC News, 0505 ``O, Canada`` ending at 0506.5, followed by carrier and tone for a while (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 2, before 1400: 11970, fair at 1342. HFCC B-12 has no victim, but Aoki A-12 had SOH 12370, fair at 1342 12980, fair at 1342 15565, very poor at 1344; none in the 13s, 14s, 16s, 17s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [and non]. 5025, Nov 2 at 0045, R. Rebelde again with considerable RTTY QRM. Can someone with RTTY capability ID this? 5040, Nov 2 at 0045, RHC in French, so still on summer scheduling, to become English this hour whenever DST be over (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ERITREA. 7175, Nov 2 at 0403, poor signal in HOA talk, presumably one of the VOBME services; no QRM or jamming or hamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KOREA SOUTH. 6670, Nov 2 at 1126, weak talk on AM with flutter, no jamming, presumably Korean from MND Radio as per late A-12 Aoki schedule at 1100-1150. A change from the MND sked in DXLD 12-41 early October, which had 6700 at this hour, and 6670 only as an ex-frequency at 07 and 13, and furthermore not to be confused with 6760 which they have also used (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KOREA SOUTH. 15575, Nov 2 at 1409, JBA carrier with flutter, possibly KBS World Radio in new North American service direct, replacing Sackville 9650. I keep forgetting to check in the 12-13 period for English on 15575, but don`t expect it to be any better, certainly not at a listenable level. Especially since HFCC shows co-channels at both hours: BBC English via Cyprus at 12, BSKSA Pashto via Riyadh at 14. KBSWR would be a lot better off co-opting some of those MND Radio transmitters which make it over here much better below 7 MHz. Better yet, put a relay back on something closer like GUF, WHRI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO [and non]. See VATICAN 6185 ** NEWFOUNDLAND. 6160.9, Nov 2 at 1125, still hearing het from CKZN presumably against CKZU, tho today`s sunrise in St. John`s was 1017 UT per gaisma.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NIGERIA [non]. ``African nights`` on 19m are scarcer and scarcer as there is more winter darkness this end of path and MUFs are uncoöperative. 15120, Nov 2 at 0509, no signal from VON but there should have been tonight if it were on, since 15580 VOA BOTSWANA was in well, and 15400 BBC SOUTH AFRICA too; while Australia 15515 was JBA, and something very poor on 15480, i.e. AWR Arabic from Meyerton too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 780, Nov 2 at 1106 UT, open carrier from the direxion of KSPI Stillwater, vs something in Spanish and WBBM. NRC AM Log 2012 does not mention any PSRA for this daytimer, but HFCC AM Query correspondence file does have one from Feb 28, 2007: http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/getimportletter_exh.cgi?import_letter_id=5518 showing that from Sept thru Feb KSPI can operate from 6 am until true sunrise with ONE WATT!!! In March it`s a hefty ten watts, and April-August the full 250. Well, I`m sure this carrier when it`s on is the full 250 by groundwave. AM Log also says ``No PSSA`` but KSPI enjoys that too: http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/getimportletter_exh.cgi?import_letter_id=3262 showing ONE or TWO WATTS, in a complicated schedule which in June lasts as late as 10:45 pm local time. Official SR/SS for KSPI are: Nov 1300-2315 UT
